.2 Semiannual Trend Review

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors performed a review of the licensee's corrective action program and associated documents to identify trends that could indicate the existence of a more significant safety issue. The inspectors' review was focused on repetitive equipment issues, but also considered the results of daily inspector corrective action program item screening discussed in Section 4OA2.1 above, licensee trending efforts, and licensee human performance results. The inspectors' review nominally considered the 6-month period of July 2016 through December 2016, although some examples expanded beyond those dates where the scope of the trend warranted. The review also included issues documented outside the corrective action program in major equipment problem lists, repetitive and/or rework maintenance lists, departmental problem/challenges lists, system health reports, quality assurance audit/surveillance reports, self-assessment reports, and Maintenance Rule assessments. The inspectors compared and contrasted their results with the results contained in the licensee's corrective action program trending reports. Corrective actions associated with a sample of the issues identified in the licensee's trending reports were reviewed for adequacy. This activity constituted one semiannual trend review inspection sample as defined in IP 71152.

b. Findings

No findings were identified.

.3 Annual Follow-Up of Selected Issues:

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors reviewed the licensee's corrective actions related to the establishment of the XCEL Nuclear Fleet Adverse Condition Monitoring Program (ACMP). The inspectors selected this issue for an in-depth review because the licensee instituted this program at Monticello in May 2016, to preempt issues similar to the HPCI oil leak from March 2016 that led to a White Finding. This inspection focused on a review of CAP issues identified since May 1, 2016, utilizing the guidance of Inspection Procedure 71152, Section 03.06 and Table 1. The inspectors verified the following attributes during their review of the licensee's corrective actions for the above condition reports and other related condition reports:

  • complete and accurate identification of the problem in a timely manner commensurate with its safety significance and ease of discovery;
  • consideration of the extent of condition, generic implications, common cause, and previous occurrences;
  • evaluation and disposition of operability/functionality/reportability issues;
  • classification and prioritization of the resolution of the problem commensurate with safety significance;
  • identification of the root and contributing causes of the problem; 18
  • identification of corrective actions, which were appropriately focused to correct the problem;
  • completion of corrective actions in a timely manner commensurate with the safety significance of the issue;
  • effectiveness of corrective actions taken to preclude repetition; and
  • evaluate applicability for operating experience and communicate applicable lessons learned to appropriate organizations. This activity constituted one in-depth problem identification and resolution inspection sample as defined in IP 71152.

b. Findings

No findings were identified.

4OA3 Follow-Up of Events and Notices of Enforcement Discretion

.1 (Closed) Licensee Event Reports 05000263/2014-002-01:

Torus to Drywell Vacuum Breaker did not Indicate Closed During Testing and Licensee Event Report 05000263/2014-003-01: Torus to Drywell Vacuum Breaker Dual Indication During Testing These events, which occurred on February 7, 2014, and again on February 11, 2014, involved the failure of a drywell to torus vacuum breaker to indicate full closed during testing activities. Specifically, on two separate occasions, during surveillance test cycling of vacuum breaker AO-2382A, the vacuum breaker showed dual indication when full closed indication was expected. In both instances, the vacuum breaker was declared inoperable. In response to the unexpected indication, operators used an alarm response procedure to cycle the valve until it indicated full closed. Both events were reported under the reporting requirements of 10 CFR 50.72 and 50.73 for discovery of events or conditions that could have prevented systems from performing their safety function and as an unanalyzed condition. The original licensee event report (LER) was previously evaluated by inspectors as part of Monticello Integrated inspection report (IR) 05000263/2014003. Additionally, related to these events, inspectors documented three NCVs regarding preconditioning, the discovery of inadequate refueling outage post-maintenance tests (PMTs) of all eight vacuum breakers, and an inadequate operability recommendation in Monticello Integrated IR 05000263/2014002 relating to these events. On July 13, 2016, the licensee submitted Supplement 1 to each of the LERs providing updated causal evaluation conclusions based on as-found testing during the 2015 refueling outage, revised corrective actions, and conclusions regarding the impact of as-found test results on whether the vacuum breakers met the most limiting design requirements and maintained an ability to perform their intended safety function. As documented in these original LERs, the most probable cause was inconsistent operation of the valve limit switches in which the closed limit switches did not consistently indicate closed when the valve was, in fact, closed. As an additional input to the original causal analysis, the licensee created an action to inspect vacuum breaker AO-2382A, its limit switches, and close indication circuit during the 2015 refueling outage to confirm the results of the failure mode and effects. During the 2015 refueling 19 outage, the inspectors observed as-found testing as additional validation of the licensee's conclusions. The as-found testing identified that vacuum breaker AO-2382A had higher than expected opening torque, and during subsequent investigation, failed to close. The licensee concluded the increased torque was from interference between the vacuum breaker test lever and the vacuum breaker test actuator stem. Subsequent licensee evaluation concluded the interference had been introduced during the 2013 refueling outage when the lever arm had been removed to replace the seals in the vacuum breakers resulting in intermittent interference and binding. Inadequate procedural guidance was the identified cause why critical clearances were not maintained during the removal and replacement of the torus to drywell vacuum breaker test lever. The licensee resolved the inadequate clearances during the 2015 refueling outage by establishing proper clearances between the test level and actuator stem on all vacuum breaker valves. In five of eight cases, a portion of the test actuator stem was removed eliminating the potential for interference. Based on as-found testing performed during the 2015 refueling outage, the licensee determined the torque required to overcome the binding between the vacuum breaker test level and actuator stem was very small. However, even with this additional friction, the licensee concluded the operational characteristics of the vacuum breaker would have met the most limiting design requirements for the ability to open and close as well as seating requirements. Overall the licensee concluded the condition would not have prevented torus to drywell vacuum breaker AO-2382A or any other torus to drywell vacuum breaker from performing its specified safety function to maintain reactor pressure boundary leakage requirements. The inspectors reviewed the corrective actions associated with the two events including as-found testing during the 2015 refueling outage, resolution of test lever to stem clearance issues, and revised causal evaluation and safety function determinations. Documents reviewed are listed in the Attachment to this report. These LERs are closed. These activities constituted two follow-up review samples as defined in IP 71153-05.

4OA5 Other Activities

.1 (Closed) NRC Temporary Instruction TI 2515/192, "Inspection of the Licensee's Interim Compensatory Measures Associated with the Open Phase Condition Design Vulnerabilities in Electric Power Systems"

a. Inspection Scope

The objective of this performance based temporary instruction (TI) is to verify implementation of interim compensatory measures associated with an Open Phase Condition (OPC) design vulnerability in electric power system for operating reactors. The inspectors conducted an inspection to determine if the licensee had implemented the following interim compensatory measures. These compensatory measures are to remain in place until permanent automatic detection and protection schemes are installed and declared operable for OPC design vulnerability. The inspectors verified the following:

20

  • The licensee had identified and discussed with plant staff the lessons-learned from the OPC events at the US operating plants including the Byron station OPC event and its consequences. This includes conducting operator training for promptly diagnosing, recognizing consequences, and responding to an OPC event;
  • The licensee had updated plant operating procedures to help operators promptly diagnose and respond to OPC events on off-site power sources credited for safe shutdown of the plant;
  • The licensee had established and continue to implement periodic walkdown activities to inspect switchyard equipment such as insulators, disconnect switches, and transmission line and transformer connections associated with the offsite power circuits to detect a visible OPC; and
  • The licensee had ensured that routine maintenance and testing activities on switchyard components have been implemented and maintained. As part of the maintenance and testing activities, the licensee assessed and managed plant risk in accordance with 10 CFR 50.65(a) (4) requirements.

b. Findings and Observations

No findings were identified.
