List of Findings and Violations
Error in Calibration Procedure Caused Reactor Protection System and Engineered Safety Feature Actuation System Setpoints to Exceed Technical Specification Allowable Values Cornerstone Significance Cross-Cutting Aspect Report Section Mitigating Systems Green NCV 05000250/2020002-01 Open/Closed
[H.1] - Resources 71153 A self-revealed, Green, Non-cited violation (NCV) of 10 CFR 50 Appendix B, Criterion VI,
Document Control, occurred when a technical error in a procedure resulted in an inaccurate reactor coolant system (RCS) average temperature (Tave) input to the Reactor Protection System (RPS) and several Engineered Safety Feature Actuation System (ESFAS) functions.
The inaccurate Tave subsequently caused an error during a 100 percent power range nuclear instrument (PRNI) calibration, which caused the Channel II Overtemperature Delta () T (OTDT) and Overpower T (OPDT) RPS setpoints to exceed the allowable values described in the Technical Specifications (TS).

PLANT STATUS
Unit 3 began the inspection period in refueling outage. Unit 3 was restarted on April 22, 2020, and achieved rated thermal power (RTP) on April 28, 2020. The unit remained at or near RTP power for the remainder of the inspection period.
Unit 4 operated at or near RTP for the entire inspection period.
INSPECTION SCOPES
Inspections were conducted using the appropriate portions of the inspection procedures (IPs) in effect at the beginning of the inspection unless otherwise noted. Currently approved IPs with their attached revision histories are located on the public website at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/doc-collections/insp-manual/inspection-procedure/index.html. Samples were declared complete when the IP requirements most appropriate to the inspection activity were met consistent with Inspection Manual Chapter (IMC) 2515, Light-Water Reactor Inspection Program - Operations Phase. The inspectors reviewed selected procedures and records, observed activities, and interviewed personnel to assess licensee performance and compliance with Commission rules and regulations, license conditions, site procedures, and standards.
Starting on March 20, 2020, in response to the National Emergency declared by the President of the United States on the public health risks of the coronavirus (COVID-19), resident inspectors were directed to begin telework and to remotely access licensee information using available technology. During this time the resident inspectors performed periodic site visits each week and conducted plant status activities as described in IMC 2515, Appendix D; observed risk significant activities; and completed on site portions of IPs. In addition, resident and regional baseline inspections were evaluated to determine if all or portion of the objectives and requirements stated in the IP could be performed remotely. If the inspections could be performed remotely, they were conducted per the applicable IP. In some cases, portions of an IP were completed remotely and on site. The inspections documented below met the objectives and requirements for completion of the IP.

INSPECTION RESULTS
Error in Calibration Procedure Caused Reactor Protection System and Engineered Safety Feature Actuation System Setpoints to Exceed Technical Specification Allowable Values Cornerstone Significance Cross-Cutting Aspect Report Section Mitigating Systems
Green NCV 05000250/2020002-01 Open/Closed
[H.1] -
Resources 71153 A self-revealed, Green, Non-cited violation (NCV) of 10 CFR 50 Appendix B, Criterion VI, Document Control, occurred when a technical error in a procedure resulted in an inaccurate reactor coolant system (RCS) average temperature (Tave) input to the Reactor Protection System (RPS) and several Engineered Safety Feature Actuation System (ESFAS) functions.
The inaccurate Tave subsequently caused an error during a 100 percent power range nuclear instrument (PRNI) calibration, which caused the Channel II Overtemperature Delta () T (OTDT) and Overpower T (OPDT) RPS setpoints to exceed the allowable values described in the Technical Specifications (TS).
Description:
On May 7, 2020, at 0948 hours0.011 days <br />0.263 hours <br />0.00157 weeks <br />3.60714e-4 months <br />, during a Unit 3 nuclear instrument (NI) channel check, performed by procedure 0-OSP-059.15, NI Channel Check, Florida Power & Light (FPL) discovered that the difference between Channel II indicated RCS T and reference T exceeded the procedure acceptance criterion in 0-OSP-059.15. This condition resulted in the OTDT and OPDT, Channel II RPS Functional Units being declared inoperable. Operators referred to TS 3.3.1, Reactor Trip System Instrumentation, and the required Action Statement from Table 3.3-1, for Functional Units 5 (OTDT) and 6 (OPDT) which required Action 13, to place the bistables of the affected Functional Units in the tripped condition.
Operators completed the TS required actions at 1125 hours0.013 days <br />0.313 hours <br />0.00186 weeks <br />4.280625e-4 months <br />. Subsequently, the affected RPS Functional Units were corrected and declared operable at 2107 hours0.0244 days <br />0.585 hours <br />0.00348 weeks <br />8.017135e-4 months <br />.
The licensees investigation determined that the error was introduced during calibration activities performed as part of procedure 3-PMI-059.36, PRNI Protection Set II Channel N-42 Installation of New Current and Streaming Constants at Shutdown, which was performed on April 11, 2020, using WO 40637419.
The cause of the error was due to an inaccurate streaming constant introduced in calibration procedure, 3-PMI-059.36, PRNI Protection Set II Channel N-42 Installation of New Current and Streaming Constants at Shutdown. Procedure 3-PMI-059.36 was a new procedure developed on November 15, 2019, to incorporate the recommendations of AR 2143996, to formalize the RCS streaming constant values for plant startup. The intended S3 streaming constant of (2.9424) was instead revised as (-2.9424) in steps 4.13.25 and 4.13.43.
The procedure error was the erroneous addition of the negative sign. The error was not discovered during the procedure change process and the incorrect S3 streaming constant was introduced to the Unit 3 process protection Channel II on April 11, 2020.
On May 6, 2020, FPL performed the initial 100 percent power calibration using procedure 3-SMI-059.08B, Power Range Nuclear Instrumentation Protection Set II Channel N-3-42 Calibration. FPL followed procedure 3-SMI-059.08B and replaced additional temperature setpoint tuning constants with manually calculated values that were influenced by the erroneous RCS streaming constant. Therefore, at the completion of the 100 percent power calibration on May 6, 2020 at 1500 hours0.0174 days <br />0.417 hours <br />0.00248 weeks <br />5.7075e-4 months <br />, the Channel II RPS OTDT and OPDT setpoints unknowingly exceeded the allowable values listed in TS Table 2.2-1. The condition was corrected, and all functions returned to service on May 7, 2020, at 2107 hours0.0244 days <br />0.585 hours <br />0.00348 weeks <br />8.017135e-4 months <br /> when 3-SMI-059.08B was reperformed with the updated correct manually calculated values for the RCS temperature setpoint tuning constants.
The investigation also determined the inaccurate RCS streaming constant affected Channel II RCS temperature calculations, which rendered three ESFAS Functional Units related to Tave inoperable from the time Unit 3 entered Mode 3 at 0437 hours0.00506 days <br />0.121 hours <br />7.225529e-4 weeks <br />1.662785e-4 months <br /> on April 21, 2020, until the first 100 percent power calibration performed by 3-SMI-059.08B was completed on May 6, 2020.
TS 3.3.2, ESFAS Instrumentation, stated that the required action for an inoperable instrumentation channel was to take action in accordance with Table 3.3-2.
During various periods and instrument configurations when the inoperable RPS and ESFAS channel II conditions were unrecognized, TS action statements directed in Tables 3.3-1 and 3.3-2 were not met to place inoperable instruments in the tripped condition within the prescribed time. Specifically, the following instruments were inoperable:
- Functional Unit 5 for RPS, OTDT, TS Table 3.3-1 Action 13, from May 6, 1500 hours0.0174 days <br />0.417 hours <br />0.00248 weeks <br />5.7075e-4 months <br /> (when N-3-42 was first calibrated at 100 percent rated thermal power (RTP)) until May 7, 1125 hours0.013 days <br />0.313 hours <br />0.00186 weeks <br />4.280625e-4 months <br />, (after the discovery of the inaccurate streaming constant and associated bistables were tripped to comply with TS Table 3.3-1 Action 13).
The RCS streaming constant associated with N-3-42 was correctly calibrated at 2107 hours0.0244 days <br />0.585 hours <br />0.00348 weeks <br />8.017135e-4 months <br /> on May 7, 2020.
- Functional Unit 6 for RPS, OPDT, TS Table 3.3-1 Action 13, from May 6, 1500 hours0.0174 days <br />0.417 hours <br />0.00248 weeks <br />5.7075e-4 months <br /> (when N-3-42 was first calibrated at 100 percent RTP) until May 7, 1125 hours0.013 days <br />0.313 hours <br />0.00186 weeks <br />4.280625e-4 months <br />, (after the discovery of the inaccurate streaming constant and associated bistables were tripped to comply with TS Table 3.3-1 Action 13).

Corrective Actions: The incorrect S3 streaming constant in procedure 3-PMI-059.36 was corrected in Revision 1 on June 3, 2020. These issues were captured in the licensees CAP as AR 2355849. Additionally, FPL implemented corrective actions to revise and improve the engineering technical review process during procedure development and changes.
Corrective Action References: AR 2355849
Performance Assessment:
Performance Deficiency: FPL's failure to ensure 3-PMI-059.36, PRNI Protection Set II Channel N-42 Installation of New Current and Streaming Constants at Shutdown, Revision 0, was properly reviewed for adequacy, was a performance deficiency.
Screening: The inspectors determined the performance deficiency was more than minor because it was associated with the Procedure Quality attribute of the Mitigating Systems cornerstone and adversely affected the cornerstone objective to ensure the availability, reliability, and capability of systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences. Specifically, the erroneous streaming constant resulted in an inaccurate Tave value, which caused a setpoint calculation error during the subsequent 100 percent power calibration, and caused Channel II OTDT and OPDT RPS setpoints to exceed the allowable values described in TS. Additionally, the inaccurate Tave resulted in an input error to the Channel II ESFAS functions.
Significance: The inspectors assessed the significance of the finding using IMC 0609, Appendix A, The Significance Determination Process (SDP) for Findings At-Power.
The inspectors determined that during the RPS non-compliant TS action statement periods, the RPS logic required to initiate on an OTDT or OPDT condition was satisfied by Channels I and III. For the degraded RPS functions, the inspectors used Exhibit 2, Mitigating Systems Screening, question C for RPS and determined the finding to be of very low safety significance (Green), because the finding did not affect a single RPS trip signal to initiate a reactor scram AND the function of other redundant trips or diverse methods of reactor shutdown (e.g., other automatic RPS trips, alternate rod insertion, or manual reactor trip capacity).
Inspectors also reviewed the screening for the ESFAS non-compliant TS action statement periods. Using Exhibit 2, Mitigating Systems Screening, question A.6, the inspectors determined that the ESFAS functions would have been probabilistic risk assessment (PRA)functional and therefore would also be of very low safety significance (Green), because the finding did not represent a loss of the PRA function of one or more non-TS trains of equipment designated as risk-significant in accordance with the licensees maintenance rule program for greater than 3 days.
Cross-Cutting Aspect: H.1 - Resources: Leaders ensure that personnel, equipment, procedures, and other resources are available and adequate to support nuclear safety.
The inspectors reviewed this performance deficiency for cross-cutting aspects as required by IMC 0310, Aspects Within the Cross-Cutting Areas, and concluded that FPL failed to ensure 3-PMI-059.36, PRNI Protection Set II Channel N-42 Installation of New Current and Streaming Constants at Shutdown, Revision 0, was properly reviewed for adequacy.
Specifically, the subsequent implementation resulted in an inaccurate Tave value, which caused a setpoint manual calculation error during the 100 percent power calibration, which resulted in the RPS setpoints of Channel II OTDT and OPDT exceeding the allowable values described in TS and also inaccurate Tave inputs into the Channel II ESFAS functions.
Enforcement:
Violation: 10 CFR 50 Appendix B, Criterion VI., Document Control, in part states, measures shall be established to control the issuance of documents, such as instructions, procedures, and drawings, including changes thereto, which prescribe all activities affecting quality.
These measures shall assure that documents, including changes, are reviewed for adequacy.
Contrary to the above, on November 15, 2019, FPL failed to ensure 3-PMI-059.36, PRNI Protection Set II Channel N-42 Installation of New Current and Streaming Constants at Shutdown, Revision 0, was properly reviewed for adequacy, which resulted in the Unit 3 Channel II, OTDT and OPDT, RPS setpoints exceeding the allowable values described in the TS. Additionally, three ESFAS Functional Units related to Tave were rendered inoperable.
Enforcement Action: This violation is being treated as an non-cited violation, consistent with Section 2.3.2 of the Enforcement Policy.
