Licensee Action on Previous Enforcement Matters (Closed) Unresolved Item 259, 260, 296/85-07-01): Adequacy of Actions Taken With Regard to Allegations Concerning Category 1 Support (1) Introduction References: (a) NRC Inspection Report 259, 260, 296/85-07, dated February 28, 1985 (b) Tennessee Valley Authority, ECP Investiga-tion Report, Concern No. ECP 86-BF-566-001, approved January 22, 1987 (c) NRC Inspection Report 260/80-34, dated January 22, 1981 (d) Nuclear Safety Review Staff (NSRS) Inves-tigation Report No. I-84-30-BFN, Investiga-tion of Problems Concerning Category 1 Support at Browns Ferry Nuclear Plant, issued December 7, 1984 This item identified the concern that a general foreman and a project manager had sought to meet schedule at the expense of quality by:
-
encouraging submittal of work to inspection without having taken proper actions to assure that it conformed to requirements
-
knowingly performing work before it was properly authorized, possibly resulting in safety systems being inoperable when neede NOTE: A specific incident involving Residual Heat Removal (RHR) system piping was described as an example where performance of work before authorization may have made the system inoperable while it was still needed for maintaining safe shutdown condition When this concern was identified by the NRC inspector during NRC '
Inspection 85-07 (Ref. (a)), the plant manager indicated that he would have the matter investigate This investigation was subsequently performed by the licensee's Employee Concerns Program (ECP) personnel and the investigation report (Ref. (b))
and supporting data were reviewed by the NRC inspector during the current inspectio In addition, the inspector discussed the investigation with involved TVA personnel. The inspector's findings and his conclusions regarding the licensee's actions in the matter are described and discussed belo i

(2) Findings (a) The ECP investigation concluded that unauthorized work had been performed by the general foreman but that for the specific incident named, involving RHR piping and supports, evidence indicated that the piping was correctly logged out of service for modification wor The " unauthorized work" referred to in the concern and the investigation was determined to involve modifications of Units 1 and 3 pipe supports during 1983 and early 198 The unauthorized work consisted of performing work in accordance with unapproved work plans, a violation of Browns Ferry Standard Practice BF The ECP investigation found that the " specific incident" referred to occurred in Unit 1, in April or May 1983, and that, in the (specific) incident, the general foreman exposed personnel to an increased safety hazard and increased the likelihood of damage to associated hardwar The NRC inspector verified that the data obtained in the ECP investigation supported the above conclusion (b) The extent to which unauthorized work was performed could not be readily determined from record The inspector found, however, that ECP investigation testimony and such records as could be determined to indicate unauthorized work showed that the occurrence was not an isolated inciden (c) Testimony of individuals contacted in the ECP investigation indicates that the general foreman was fully aware that procedures were being violated by his having unauthorized work performed. General foreman is a second line supervi-sory positio (d) The ECP investigation did not specifically address the project (Modifications engineering) manager's involvement in the performance of unauthorized work. However, the NRC inspector found that the testimony obtained indicates that the project manager e.nd other Modifications engineering personnel were aware of the unauthorized work, apparently did not encourage it, but took no significant action to stop i One Modification engineer did state that he reported such unauthorized work to his supervisor, but it continued and the supervisor never informed him of any action taken or inquired as to whether the situation was correcte __ - ___ _ ___ _ _-___ - __ -

, 4 (e) The ECP investigation concluded that, although the subject
.
general foreman's performance may have been incorrect, l his actions were " accepted" by Modifications management i
personnel (e.g.., the project manager) and it was difficult to determine the degree of fault that should be placed on him. The investigation also concluded, however, that the general foreman's credibility is now tarnished and that I worker confidence in him to be responsible and accountable is questionable from many sources. The NRC inspector found that the testimony obtained in the ECP investigation and associated data supported these conclusion (f) As noted in (a) above, investigation of a named incident involving RHR piping and supports found that personnel had been exposed to increased safety hazards and hardware to increased likelihood of damage. The hazard to personnel and hardware determined in the investigation of this incident involved removal of two pipe hangers that supported about 40 feet of 24-inch diameter RHR piping (containing water). This removal left the length of line apparently inadequately supported and subject to excessive stresse The investigation recommended that this line should be examined for evidence of movement and/or for configuration differences caused by the lack of adequate support. The ECP investigation found that the incident involved Unit 1 RHR pipe hangers H-11 and -12. At the time of the incident the hangers were scheduled to be removed per Work Plan 10270. The plan had not been approved when hanger removal was performed. The NRC inspector found this in agreement with the data and testimon (g) Based on his review of ECP investigation testimony, the NRC inspector found that the licensee may not have prepared and implemented adequate instructions for temporary support of piping while permanent hangers were being removed in the 1983 Unit I hanger replacement work. Testimony indicates that temporary support instructions were added to the work planning for subsequent 1983 Unit 3 hanger replacement wor (h) The NRC inspector was not able to clearly define a period of time during which the unauthorized work occurre However, all of the incidents referred to in the investiga-tion testimony occurred during 1983 and the first quarter of 198 (i) The inspector found that the general foreman referred to in the concern had a previous history of violating require-ments to expedite work performanc In an incident in ,
October 1980, as a foreman (prior to his promotion to general foreman), he had performed welding for which he was l
l

,
i not officially qualified, used uncontrolled welding 'l material, failed to have a fire watch or burning permit for j welding and the welds he was responsible for were under-sized. These violations, in part, were previously cited in NRC Inspection Report 260/84-34 (Ref. (c)). According to ECP personnel, these previous violations by the general foreman were not described in his current personnel history record - they may have been recorded there at one time; but, if so, they had been purged after a period of tim (j) The NRC inspector found that TVA Corrective Action Reports (CARS)84-038 (5/4/84) and 84-058 (8/29/84), documented evidence of previous (1983 and 1984) work performed without approved work plans. The cause of the instance documented on CAR 84-038 was identified as an oversight by the general foreman and foreman. The general foreman is the one !
referred to in the concerns investigated. For CAR 84-058, the evidence itself (weld rod issuances assigned to the work plan prior to its approval) was discounted as being errte These cause determinations are contrary to ECP investigation testimony which indicated widespread knowledge that the named general foreman had been respon-sible for performance of unauthorized wor (k) ndditional charges of knowing violation of procedures by performance of unauthorized work (by the subject general foreman) were examined in a 1984 NSRS investigation (Re (d)). The NSRS investigation concluded that work had been performed using unapproved work plans. The cause of the performance of unauthorized work was stated to be that
-
"the work control procedure (BF 8.3) did not contain the necessary flexibility to perform some activities without violating the procedural requirements." The investigation also concluded that Browns Ferry QC was aware of this adverse condition and had taken appropriate action to identify the condition and adequately monitor it." The inspector concluded that the important deficiency that was rot clearly identified by NSRS was that craft management personnel had knowingly and willfully violated procedures and that Modifications engineering management was aware of this and failed to take action to have it correcte The NRC inspector noted that a violation of requirements by i a QC inspector that was examined in the NSRS investigation
'
had resulted in termination of the QC inspector but that no l apparent personnel action was taken against the general foreman or other management personnel who had apparently

-
The process for . obtaining _ . approval of : work plans needed for performance of required modifications.was inefficient and delaying work for proper.. approvals:
had adversely. affected the schedule cfor completing -
modifications and getting the plant back into servic Ability to meet schedule was the primary factor in evaluating job ' performance for promotion and pa raise Previous violations of requirements by. the general foreman had resulted .in no significant adverse
' personnel actions against hi (m) Because of the delays in obtaining approved work plans referred to in'(1) above, the plant manager had determined .
that prefab (prefabrication) work on pipe: supports could'be performed before the work plans were fully approved in order to expedite the work. This was on a risk basis - the risk being that, if requirements changed, items might have to be scrapped. Authorization to perform prefabrication (prefab) work required the plant manager's signature on control form BF-62. According to testimony reviewed by the NRC inspector, there had been no written definition of the limits on " prefab". The NRC inspector's review found, however, -that " unauthorized rork" stated to have been performed by .the general foreman would not have been considered . acceptable under the most liberal interpreta-tions of prefab authorization described by engineers and craft personnel interviewed in the ECP investigation. All of the individuals agreed, for example, that removal of i hangers from piping without full work approval would be !
unacceptabl (n) The NRC inspector's review found no specific instance where performance of unauthorized work had been confirmed to have adversely affected plant operational safety or hardware. The possible deficiency in RHR hardware referred to in (a) and (f) above has not been sufficiently investi-gated to determine whether it represents inadequacies in ,
installation or hardware. Further, if the RHR example is deficient, it may be due more to inadequate procedures 4 rather than to performance of unauthorized wor ]

Also, there has been a change in philosophy that places procedural compliance foremost in the managers reinds. Additionally, the general foreman was counseled regarding the errors in performing unauthorized work and documentation of the counseling was placed in his personnel history recor CAR 87-0061 has been initiated to address the remaining RHR piping concern (uncorrected line movement or a configuration difference resulting from the removal of supports).

(3) Conclusions-(a) 'A general foreman knowingly and willfully violated TVA -
procedural requirements given in Browns Ferry Standard Practice BF 8.3, by having work peformed before associated work plans were approved. It did not appear that Modifica-tions engineering personnel (including a supervisor involved in the~ work) encouraged this violation of require-ments. However, they were aware of it and took no apparent action to stop it's occurrence. This occurred in 1983 and
,
early 198 Prior to the NRC reporting concern regarding the general foreman's actions, TVA failed to properly identify the general foreman's knowing ' and willful violation 'of the requirements or to take any ' action to assure that the general foreman, who had a previous history of violating requirements, would not violate requirements-in other wor Furthermore, even after the NRC had informed TVA of a concern regarding the general foreman's actions, TVA was not prompt in verifying the extent of violation or in determining corrective actio Although the concern was reported to TVA in February 1985, along with_a more serious associated charge that his actions might have endangered the capability of a safety system while it was needed. for safe shutdown, TVA did not begin to investigate the matter until June 1986. TVA's investigation report on the matter was not issued until January 1987, and proposed corrections were not accepted until April 1987, over two years after the NRC report of the concer Additionally, other superv.isory personnel (through second line management) knew of the general foreman's actions when they occurred and failed to see that the violations-were properly identified and corrected. TVA's actions in regard to the - matter described appear to violate 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion XVI requirements in that the licensee's measures to assure prompt identification and correction of conditions adverse to quality were ineffective.

Gridley (TVA) to D.' Muller (NRC), dated-December 23, 198 During the current inspection, the NRC inspector and cognizant licensee engineers discussed the. IST program and several of its contained requests for relief from ASME Section XI (80W80). IST requirements. The inspector reviewed licensee documentation in support of a request to extend the testing interval for certain testable check valves (Licensee Relief Request PV-27).
