475 ALLENDALE ROAD KlNG OF PRUSSlA. PA 19406-1415 April 4, 20lI Mr. Thomas Joyce President and Chief Nuclear Otficer PSEG Nuclear LLC - N09 P.O. Box 236 Hancock's Bridge, NJ 08038 SUBJECT: SALEM NUCLEAR GENERATING STATION, UNIT NOS. 1 AND 2 .
NRC COMPONENT DESIGN BASES INSPECTION REPORT 0500027 2t20 1 1 007 AN D 0s00 03 1 I l 20 1 1 007
Dear Mr. Joyce:
On February 18, 2011, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed an inspection at the Salem Nuclear Generating Station, Unit Nos. 1 and 2. The enclosed inspection report documents the inspection results, which were discussed on February 18, 2011, with Mr. Edward Eilola, Plant Manager, and other members of your staff.
The inspection examined activities conducted under your license as they relate to safety and compliance with the Commission's rules and regulations and with the conditions of your license.
In conducting the inspection, the team examined the adequacy of selected components and operator actions to mitigate postulated transients, initiating events, and design basis accidents.
The inspection involved field walkdowns, examination of selected procedurei, calculations and records, and interviews with station personnel.
This report documents three NRC-identified findings that were of very low safety significance (Green). These findings were determined to involve violations of NRC requirementi. However, because of the very low safety significance of the violations and because they were entered into your corrective action program, the NRC is treating these findings as non-cited violations (NCV)
consistent with Section 2.3.2 of the NRC Enforcement Policy. lf you contest any NCV in this report, you should provide a response within 30 days of the date of this inspection report, with the basis for your denial, to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, ATTN: Document Control Desk, Washington, D.C. 20555-0001, with copies to the Regional Administrator, Region l; the Director, Otfice of Enforcement, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, D.C. 20555-0001; and the NRC Resident Inspector at the Salem Nuclear Generating Station. ln addition, if you disagree with the cross-cutting aspect assigned to any finding in this report, you should provide a response within 30 days oJ tne date of lhis inspeciion report, with the basis of your disagreement, to the Regional Administrator, Region l, and ihe NRC Resident Inspector at Salem Nuclear Generating Station. ln accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 of the NRC's "Rules of Practice," a copy of this letter, its enclosure, and your response (if any) will be available electronically for the public inspection in the NRC Public Docket Room or from the Publicly Available Records component of NRC's document system (ADAMS). ADAMS is accessible from the NRC Web site at http://www.nrc.qov/readinq-rm/adams.html (the Public Electronic Reading Room).

SUMMARY OF FINDINGS
lR 0500027212011007 and 0500031 112011007:0112412011 - 0211812011; Salem Unit Nos' 1 and 2; Component Design Bases Inspection.
The report covers the Component Design Bases Inspection conducted by a team of four NRC inspectors and two NRC contractors. Three findings of very low risk significance (Green) were identified, all of which were considered to be non-cited violations. The significance of most findings is indicated by their color (Green, White, Yellow, Red) using NRC Inspection Manual Chapter (lMC) 0609, "significance Determination Process" (SDP). Cross-cutting aspects associated with findings are determined using IMC 0310, "Components Within the Cross-Cutting Areas." Findings for which the SDP does not apply may be Green or be assigned a severity level after NRC management review. The NRC's program for overseeing the safe operation of commercial nuclear power reactors is described in NUREG-1649, "Reactor Oversight Process," Revision 4, dated December 2006.
Gornerstone: Mitigating Systems
. Green: The team identified a finding of very low safety significance involving a non-cited violation of 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion lll, "Design Control," because PSEG had not verified the adequacy of the design for the DVR voltage setpoint. Specifically,
PSEG had not performed calculations for motor starting and running conditions, and for operation of other safety-related equipment based on voltages afforded by the degraded voltage relays. PSEG entered this issue into their corrective action program and performed preliminary calculations to demonstrate reasonable assurance of operability.
The finding is more than minor because it is associated with the design control attribute of the Mitigating Systems Cornerstone and adversely affected the cornerstone objective of ensuring the availability, reliability, and capability of systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences. The team evaluated the finding in accordance with IMC 0609, Attachment 0609.04, Phase 1 - Initial Screening and Characterization of Findings, Table 4afor the Mitigating Systems Cornerstone. The team determined that the finding was of very low safety significance because it was a design deficiency confirmed not to result in loss of operability.
The team determined that this finding has a cross-cutting aspect in the area of Problem ldentification and Resolution, Operating Experience Component, because PSEG did not ensure that relevant internal and external operating experience was collected, evaluated, and communicated to affected internal stakeholders in a timely manner.
Specifically, PSEG did not adequately evaluate a similar finding documented in a Hope Creek Generating Station NRC component design bases inspection report in November 2009 (NCV 050035412009007-03) and missed an opportunity in their internal response to NRC Information Notice 2Q08-02, "Findings ldentified During Component Design Bases Inspections," issued in March 2008. (lMC 0310' Aspect P.2(a))
(Section 1R21.2.1.1)
.
- Green.
The team identified a finding of very low safety significance (Green) involving a non-cited violation of Salem Unit 1 Technical Specification (TS) Surveillance Requirement (SR) 4.8.2.5.2.n Specifically, the team identified that PSEG did not perform a battery capacity test of the 1B 28VDC battery within 12 months of the previous performance test that showed signs of degradation (battery capacity as measured on October 28,2008, dropped more than 10 percent compared to the April 26, 2004, performance test). PSEG promptly entered TS 4.0.3 and completed all TS 4.0.3 requirements for a surveillance not performed within its specified frequency.
Additionally PSEG entered the issue into their corrective action program to evaluate the casual factors for long{erm corrective action and scheduled the 1B 28VDC battery performance test during the next scheduled Salem Unit 1 shutdown.
The finding is more than minor because it is associated with the human performance attribute of the Mitigating Systems Cornerstone and adversely affected the cornerstone objective of ensuring the availability, reliability, and capability of systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences. Specifically, the availability of the 1B 28VDC battery was not ensured by performing additional surveillance testing to monitor for battery degradation. The team evaluated the finding in accordance with IMC 0609, Attachment 0609.04, Phase 1 - Initial Screening and Characterization of Findings, Table 4afor the Mitigating Systems Cornerstone. The team determined that the finding was of very low safety significance because it was a qualification deficiency confirmed not to result in loss of operability.
The team determined that this finding has a cross-cutting aspect in the area of Human Performance, Work Practices Component, because PSEG personnel did not follow procedure requirements during the 1B 28VDC battery performance discharge surveillance test. Specifically, personnel did not follow step 5.12.21 of SC.MD-FT.28D-0003 which required technicians to mark the surveillance data sheet "Yes" for "Battery Degraded," notify supervision, and initiate a corrective action notification if the calculated battery performance capacity drop was greater than 10 percent. (lMC 0310, Aspect H.4(b)) (Section 1R21.2.1.2)
Cornerstone: Barrier lntegrity
o
- Green.
The team identified a finding of very low safety significance (Green) involving a non-cited violation of 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion XVl, "Corrective Action," because PSEG did not identify and correct a condition adverse to quality. Specifically,
PSEG did not identify and correct the degraded condition of the Unit 1 and Unit 2 control room emergency air conditioning system (CREACS) common suction expansion joints because they did not implement appropriate preventive maintenance (PM) per their performance-centered maintenance (PCM) template. PSEG placed the finding and the associated issues in its corrective action program. In response to the identified control room envelope (CRE) breach, operators promptly entered TS 3.7.6 and initiated mitigation actions. PSEG affected prompt repairs, performed an appropriate post maintenance test, declared the CRE fully operable, and exited the TS limiting condition for operation action statement.
The finding is more than minor because it is associated with the barrier performance attribute of the Barrier Integrity Cornerstone and adversely affected the cornerstone objective of providing reasonable assurance that physical design barriers protect the control room operators from radionuclide releases caused by accidents or events. The finding was evaluated in accordance with IMC 0609, Attachment 4, Table 4a for the containment barrier. Since the finding had the potential to impact more than the radiological barrier function, a Region 1 Senior Reactor Analyst (SRA) performed a Phase 3 analysis. The SRA determined that the dominant sequence involved a sufficient degradation of the CREACS barrier that would allow sufficient in-leakage to force an evacuation of the control room during a fire or toxic gas event. The areas with the degradation were in room 15615 and 25615 for Units 1 and 2, respectively. The SRA evaluated these areas and determined that the potential impact due to in-leakage through the degraded barrier from fire and toxic gas would be negligible. The SRA also reviewed the results of recent CRE in-leakage testing conducted in September 2010.
The condition of the expansion joint tearing and wear could reasonably be assumed to have existed during the September testing. This testing also confirmed that the total in-leakage in these areas was small. Based on the above factors, the SRA determined the finding was of very low safety significance (Green).
The team determined that this finding has a cross-cutting aspect in the area of Human Performance, Work Control Component, because PSEG did not plan work activities to support long-term equipment reliability by ensuring that maintenance scheduling was more preventive than reactive. Specifically, PSEG did not implement appropriate PMs on the CREACS filter expansion joints necessitating several reactive corrective maintenance activities.

1R21 Component Desiqn Bases Inspection (lP 71111.21)
.1 Inspection Sample Selection Process
The team selected risk significant components and operator actions for review using information contained in the Salem Probabilistic Risk Assessment (PRA) and the U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission's (NRC) Standardized Plant Analysis Risk (SPAR) modelfor the Salem Generating Station. Additionally, the team referenced the Risk-lnformed Inspection Notebook for the Salem Generating Station (Revision 2.1a) in the selection of potential components and operator actions for review. In general, the selection process focused on components and operator actions that had a Risk Achievement Worth (RAW) factor greater than 1.3 or a Risk Reduction Worth (RRW)factor greater than 1.005. The components and actions selected were associated with both safety-related and non-safety related systems, and included a variety of components such as pumps, breakers, ventilation fans, diesel engines, batteries, and valves.
The team initially compiled a list of components and operator actions based on the risk factors previously mentioned. Additionally, the team reviewed the previous component design bases inspection (CDBI) reports (05000272 & 311120008007 and 05000272 &
31112006006) and excluded the majority of those components previously inspected.
The team then performed a margin assessment to narrow the focus of the inspection to 17 components and 5 operating experience (OE) items. The team selected a main steam isolation valve (MSIV) for large early release fraction (LERF) implications. The team's evaluation of possible low design margin included consideration of original design issues, margin reductions due to modifications, or margin reductions identified as a result of material condition/equipment reliability issues. The assessment also included items such as failed performance test results, corrective action history, repeated maintenance, Maintenance Rule (aXl ) status, operability reviews for degraded conditions, NRC resident inspector insights, system health reports, and industry OE.
Finally, consideration was also given to the uniqueness and complexity of the design and the available defense-in-depth margins.
The inspection performed by the team was conducted as outlined in NRC Inspection Procedure (lP) 71 111.21. This inspection effort included walkdowns of selected components; interviews with operators, system engineers, and design engineers; and reviews of associated design documents and calculations to assess the adequacy of the components to meet design basis, licensing basis, and risk-informed beyond design basis requirements.
Summaries of the reviews performed for each component and OE sample, and the specific inspection findings identified are discussed in the subsequent sections of this report. Documents reviewed for this inspection are listed in the Attachment.
.2 Results of Detailed Reviews
.2.1 Detailed Component and Operator Action Reviews (17 samples)
.2.1.1 1C - 460V Vital Bus (1SWGR1CX)
a. Inspection Scope
The team reviewed bus loading calculations to determine whether the 460V system had sufficient capacity to support its required loads under worst case accident loading and grid voltage conditions. The team reviewed the design of the degraded voltage protection scheme to determine whether it afforded adequate voltage to safety-related devices at all voltage distribution levels, including the 460V vital buses. This included review of degraded voltage relay (DVR) setpoint calculations, motor starting and running voltage calculations, and motor control center (MCC) control circuit voltage drop calculations. The team reviewed procedures and completed surveillances for calibration of the DVRs to determine whether acceptance criteria were consistent with design calculations, and to determine whether the relays were performing satisfactorily. The team reviewed calculations for overcurrent protection devices to determine whether equipment was adequately protected, whether loads were subject to spurious tripping, and whether protective devices featured selective tripping coordination. The team reviewed operating procedures to determine whether the limits and protocols for maintaining offsite voltage were consistent with design calculations. The team reviewed vendor manuals, maintenance schedules, maintenance procedures, and completed work orders to determine whether PSEG adequately maintained the 1C 460V vital bus and its associated circuit breakers. The team reviewed corrective action documents and maintenance records to determine whether there were any adverse operating trends. In addition, the team performed a visual inspection of the 1C 460V vital bus to assess the material condition and the presence of hazards.

Findinqs lntroduction: The team identified a finding of very low safety significance (Green)irwolving a non-cited violation (NCV) of 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion lll, Design Control, because PSEG had not adequately verified the adequacy of the design for the DVR voltage setpoint. Specifically, PSEG had not performed calculations for motor starting and running conditions, and for operation of other safety-related equipment based on voltages afforded by the DVRs.
Description:
NRC Letter dated June 2, 1977, required installation of the DVRs. The letter required the DVR voltage to be determined from an analysis of the voltage requirements of Class 1E loads at all onsite system distribution levels, and required inciusion of the setpoints in Technical Specifications (TSs). Technical Specification Table 3.3-4 item 7.b. specified an allowable value of > 94 percent for the DVRs. This allowable value corresponded to an analytical limit (actual minimum bus voltage that could occur without transfer to the emergency diesel generators) of 93.2 percent, as documented in a PSEG license amendment request dated March 28,1994. The team determined that PSEG had not adequately determined the DVR setpoints by analyzing the voltage it afforded safety-related equipment. In some cases, PSEG's voltage calculations used bus voltage based on the minimum voltage afforded by the non-safety related load tap changers installed on the station power transformers. In other cases, PSEG used voltage based on the TS specified DVR allowable value, rather than the design analytical limit. Finally, PSEG omitted some types of safety-related equipment from the voltage analyses.
Specifically, the team determined that PSEG based motor starting calculations on minimum bus voltage afforded by the non-safety related load tap changer rather than minimum bus voltage afforded by the DVR setpoints specified in TSs. Calculation ES-15.008 analyzed motor starting voltage during loss-of-coolant accident (LOCA) block loading. Similarly, calculation ES-15.014 performed an analysis of motor starting voltage both during LOCA block loading, and also for starting individual motors during steady state conditions. These calculations also determined the effect of the transient voltage dips that occur on the safety buses during motor starting to determine whether there were any deleterious effects of transient low voltage on other equipment already connected to the safety-related buses. Both of these calculations used a bus voltage of 4210V (approximately 101
.2 percent of nominal bus voltage of 4160V), rather than
voltage based on the analytical limit of 93.2 percent supported by TSs. As a result, the existing calculations of record for motor starting were non-conservative by approximately I percent. The team was concerned that during block loading, motors and other equipment would not have adequate voltage to start, and adverse effects including delayed operation of equipment, and overcurrent device tripping could occur. In response, PSEG performed preliminary calculations to assess the effect of degraded voltage during block loading and determined that motors would start in sufficient time to satisfy the assumptions of the accident analysis, and that tripping of overcurrent protective devices would not occur. PSEG documented this concern in their corrective action program (CAP) as notification (NOTF) 20494513.
The team also determined that calculations for motor running voltage were non-conseryative and that justifications for motors when voltages were outside their ratings were not consistent with the Updated Final Safety Analysis Report (UFSAR)commitments. PSEG determined the running motor voltage at degraded voltage in calculation ES-15.008. Although the calculation methodology for analyzing running motors was not explicitly described in the calculation, the "Results" section reported that motor starting was analyzed with a 4kY safety bus voltage of 94 percent. This value was non conservative relative to the minimum voltage that could occur on the safety bus represented by the analytical limit of 93.2 percent. Also, calculation ES-15.008, Section 2.3.1 stated that the minimum steady state voltage criteria for running motors was 90 percent, and that motors not meeting this criteria were evaluated in Engineering Evaluation S-C-EE-230-E4C-0-0753. The engineering evaluation concluded that running voltages slightly below 90 percent were acceptable based on available thermal life. The team noted that this approach was not consistent with UFSAR Section 8.3, which stated that the onsite distribution system has been shown by analysis and test to possess sufficient capacity and capability to automatically start and subsequently operate all safety loads within their voltage ratings for anticipated transients and accidents. ln addition, UFSAR Section 8.3.1.2 stated that the minimum allowable trip value and trip setpoint of the DVRs were derived using the 90 percent minimum motor terminal voltage requirement. The team noted that the setpoints specified in surveillance procedure 31.MD-FT.4kV-0002 were adequate to ensure a minimum bus voltage of 94 percent, consistent with the analytical approach, and that the justification in Engineering Evaluation S-C-EE-230-E4C-0-0753 appeared to provide reasonable assur-ance of operability for the affected loads without 90 percent rated voltage. PSEG documented this concern in their CAP via corrective action NOTF 20497060.
The team also noted that calculations ES-15,008 and ES-15.004 did not include minimum voltage acceptance criteria or evaluate steady state and transient voltage for non-motor loads such as vital inverters and battery chargers. In response, PSEG performed preliminary calculations and determined that these components would have their minimum required voltage except for brief periods during block loading conditions.
These were deemed acceptable because of the ability of the affected equipment and buses to automatically transfer to backup power supplies. PSEG documented this concern in their CAP via corrective action NOTF 20497062.
The team noted that PSEG personnel missed several opportunities to identify this design control performance deficiency and engage their CAP that may have precluded NRC identification in February 2011. Specifically, these opportunities involved internal and external OE associated with degraded voltage calculations and included
- (1) a similar finding documented in a Hope Creek Generating Station (HCGS) NRC component design bases inspection (CDBI) report in November 2009 (NCV 05000354/2009007-03, Inadequate Design Control for 4 kV Bus Degraded Voltage Relay Bases), and
- (2) NRC lnformation Notice (lN) 2008-02, "Findings ldentified During Component Design Bases Inspections," issued in March 2008.
Analvsis: The team determined that the failure to properly verify the adequacy of the volta& setpoint for the DVRs was a performance deficiency that was reasonably within PSEG's ability to foresee and prevent. The finding was determined to be more than minor because it was similar to example 3.j. of NRC IMC 0612, Appendix E, Examples of Minor lssues, in that based on PSEG's existing non-conservative calculations, the team had a reasonable doubt of operability of the safety-related motors until PSEG performed additional analYses.
Additionally, the finding was associated with the design control attribute of the Mitigating Systems Cornerstone and adversely affected the cornerstone objective of ensuring the availability, reliability, and capability of systems (safety-related loads powered from vital busses) that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences. The team evaluated the finding in accordance with IMC 0609, Attachment 0609.04, Phase 1 - Initial Screening and Characterization of Findings, Table 4afor the Mitigating Systems Cornerstone. The team determined the finding was of very low safety significance because it was a design deficiency confirmed not to result in loss of operability.
The team determined that this finding had a cross-cutting aspect in the area of Problem ldentification and Resolution, Operating Experience Component, because PSEG did not ensure that relevant internal and external OE was collected, evaluated, and communicated to affected internal stakeholders in a timely manner. Specifically, PSEG did not adequately evaluate a similar finding documented in a HCGS NRC CDBI report in November 2009 (NCV 050035412009007-03) and missed an opportunity in their internal response to NRC lN 2008-02, "Findings ldentified During Component Design Bases Inspections," issued in March 2008. (lMC 0310, Aspect P.2(a))
Enforcement:
10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion lll, "Design Control," requires, in part, that measures be provided for verifying or checking the adequacy of design, such as by the performance of design reviews, by the use of alternate or simplified calculational methods, or by the performance of a suitable testing program, and to ensure that the design is correctly translated into specifications, drawings, procedures, and instructions.
Contrary to the above, as of February 1,2011, PSEG's design control measures did not verify the adequacy of the design for the DVR voltage setpoint. Specifically, PSEG had not performed calculations for motor starting and running conditions, and for operation of other safety-related equipment based on voltages afforded by the DVRs. Because this violation is of very low safety significance and has been entered into PSEG's CAP (NOTFs 2Q494513,20497060, and2Q497062), it is being treated as a NCV consistent with Section 2.3.2 of the NRC Enforcement Policy. (NCV 05000272; 0500031 112011007-01, Inadequate Calculations for Degraded Voltage Relay Voltage Setpoint)
.2.1.2 1B 28 Volt Direct Current Batterv
a. Inspection Scope
The team inspected the 1B 28 volt direct current (VDC) battery to verify that it was capable of meeting its design basis requirements for a LOCA concurrent with a loss-of-offsite power (LOOP) or a station blackout (SBO) event. The team reviewed maintenance activity and TS surveillance results to verify that the capacity and condition of the 1B 28VDC battery was adequately maintained. The team reviewed calculations and vendor information to verify that the 181 and 1B.2 battery chargers were of sufficient capacity to restore the charge on the 1B 28VDC battery after a design bases LOOP event occurred. The team reviewed the TS surveillance test results that demonstrated the full load capabilities of the 181 and 182 battery chargers against TS surveillance requirements (SRs) and design basis calculations to verify that the surveillance test results were satisfactory. The team reviewed 2BVDC battery sizing calculations to determine whether adequate voltage and charge was available to support the associated loads.
The team verified that modifications to the 28VDC system were appropriately evaluated for impact to the 1B 28VDC battery. The team also reviewed corrective action documents and system health reports and interviewed the system engineer to determine whether there were any adverse operating trends or existing issues affecting 28VDC battery reliability. Finally, the team performed a visual examination of the 1B 28VDC battery, as well as the 1A,2A, and 28 28VDC batteries to assess the material condition and the presence of potential hazards to the 28VDC batteries.
b. Findinqs lntroduction: The team identified a finding of very low safety significance (Green)involving a non-cited violation of Salem Unit 1 TS SR 4.8.2.5.2.h. Specifically, the team identified that PSEG did not perform a battery capacity test of the 1B 28VDC battery within 12 months of the previous performance test that showed signs of degradation.
Description:
The team reviewed the results of surveillance test SC.MD-FT.28D-0003, 28 Volt Station Batteries Performance Discharge Test Using BCT-2000 with Windows Software and Associated Surveillance Testing, performed on October 28, 2008. The purpose of the surveillance test was to fulfill requirements of TS SR 4.8.2.5.2.h. and demonstrate battery capacity was at least 80 percent of the manufacturer's rating.
Additionally, the surveillance instructions require a comparison to the previous battery performance discharge test to determine signs of battery degradation. Technical Specification SR 4.8.2.5.2.h. states that degradation is indicated when the battery capacity drops more than 10 percent of rated capacity from its capacity on the previous performance test. Step 5.12.21 of SC.MD-FT.28D-0003, Revision 2, required the technicians to mark the surveillance data sheet "Yes" for "Battery Degraded," notify supervision, and initiate a corrective action notification if the calculated value was greater than 10 percent. Technicians had calculated the 1B 28VDC battery capacity as 1 19 percent during the previous battery capacity test performed on April 26, 2004. The calculated capacity on October 28,20Q8, was 102.2 percent. The technicians calculated a 16.8 percent drop, but contrary to procedure instructions, did not mark the surveillance data sheet as "Yes" to "Battery Degraded" and did not initiate a corrective action notification.
On February 7,2011, the team notified PSEG that they had not performed the TS required surveillance testing of the 18 28VDC battery. PSEG promptly entered TS 4.0.3 for a surveillance not performed within its specified frequency. Consistent with TS 4.0.3 requirements, PSEG performed a risk evaluation and determined that the battery performance test could be delayed until the Fall2011 Salem Unit 1 refuel outage.
PSEG also performed a review of all previous 1B 28VDC battery performance test results and weekly and quarterly battery surveillance results and determined that the 1B 28VDC battery remained operable even though the October 28,2008, performance test had a capacity drop of greater than 10 percent. The team reviewed PSEG's associated risk and operability evaluations and determined that they were reasonable.
PSEG entered this issue into their CAP as NOTF 20495611. PSEG corrective actions included scheduling the 1B 28VDC battery performance test during the next scheduled Salem Unit 1 shutdown and evaluating causal factors to support the development of long-term corrective actions.
Analvsis: The team determined that the failure to perform TS SR 4.8.2.5.2.h was a performance deficiency that was reasonably within PSEG's ability to foresee and prevent. Specifically, prior to October 2009, PSEG personnel had opportunities to identify that they needed to perform a battery performance test at least once per 12 months when the 1B 28VDC battery showed signs of degradation on October 28, 2008, because battery capacity dropped more than 10 percent of rated capacity from its previous performance test on April 26,2004. The team noted that the finding was not sufficiently similar to any of the examples in NRC IMC 0612, Appendix E, Examples of Minor lssues. The finding was more than minor because it was associated with the human performance attribute of the Mitigating Systems Cornerstone and adversely affected the cornerstone objective of ensuring the availability, reliability, and capability of systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences.
Specifically, the availability of the 1B 28VDC battery was not ensured by performing additional surveillance testing to monitor for battery degradation. The team evaluated the finding in accordance with IMC 0609, Attachment 0609.04, Phase 1 - Initial Screening and Characterization of Findings, Table 4afor the Mitigating Systems Cornerstone. The team determined the finding was of very low safety significance because it was a qualification deficiency confirmed not to result in loss of operability.
The team determined that this finding had a cross-cutting aspect in the area of Human Performance, Work Practices Component, because PSEG personnel did not follow procedure requirements during the 1B 28VDC battery performance discharge surveillance test. Specifically, personnel did not follow step 5.12.21 of SC.MD-FT.28D-0003 which required technicians to mark the surveillance data sheet "Yes" for "Battery Degraded," notify supervision, and initiate a corrective action notification if the calculated battery performance capacity drop was greater than 10 percent. (lMC 0310, Aspect H.4(b))
Enforcement:
Salem Unit 1 TS SR 4.8.2.5.2.h requires that PSEG verify, at least once po lZ months, during shutdown, if the battery shows signs of degradation. On October 28,2Q08, the 1B 28VDC battery showed signs of degradation because its battery capacity dropped more than 10 percent of rated capacity from its capacity on the previous performance test. Contrary to SR 4.8.2.5.2.h, on October 28, 2009, PSEG failed to meet SR 4.8.2.2.h and had not performed a subsequent battery performance test of the 1B 28VDC battery. On February 8,2011, PSEG completed SR 4.0.3 actions for the missed surveillance, which included justification for continued operability until the Unit 1 Fall2011 refuel outage to test the battery. Because this violation was of very low safety significance and was entered into PSEG's CAP (NOTF 20495611), it is being treated as a NCV consistent with Section 2.3.2 of the NRC Enforcement Policy.

.2.1.3 No. 21 Control Room Emerqencv Air Conditioninq Svstem Supplv
Fan
a. Inspection Scope
The team inspected the No. 21 control room emergency air conditioning system (CREACS) supply fan to verify its capability to meet design basis requirements. The CREACS is initiated following receipt of a safety injection (Sl) or high radiation actuation signal for areas inside the control room envelope (CRE). lt must provide a protected environment from which operators can control the reactor unit during airborne challenges from radioactivity, hazardous chemicals, and fire byproducts such as fire suppression agents and smoke during both normal and accident conditions. The No. 21 supply fan, as well as each of the other fans, must be individually capable of providing 100 percent of the required CRE pressurization air to 1/8 inches of water gauge pressure. The team also reviewed the CREACS fan support systems to ensure that they would function as designed under transient and accident conditions. The support systems included the associated system high efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filter, cooling coils, isolation dampers, ducting, component expansion joints, and mechanical supports.
The team reviewed the UFSAR, TSs, design basis documents, drawings, supporting calculations and procedures to identify the design basis requirements of the fan and system. The team reviewed recently completed system walkdown reports and surveillance tests to ensure the capability of the system had been maintained. The team discussed the design, operation, and maintenance of the CREACS with the engineering staff to gain an understanding of the performance history, maintenance and overall health of the fan and other system components. The team reviewed corrective action documents to determine if there were any adverse trends associated with the fan and to assess PSEG's capability to evaluate and correct problems. The team performed field walkdowns of the system and observed leak-check smoke tests to independently assess the material condition and to verify that the system configuration was consistent with the design basis assumptions, system operating procedures, and plant drawings.
The team also evaluated the manual operator actions to realign the control area ventilation (CAV) system given a failure of the control room air conditioning system.
Specifically, the team inspected operator critical tasks including recognizing loss of air conditioning to the control room and performing steps to align control room ventilation dampers and fans in order to provide sufficient air flow through the CRE to ensure equipment temperature limits are not exceeded. The team interviewed licensed operators, observed a walkthrough of the procedure and reviewed associated alarm response procedures to assess the likelihood of cognitive or execution errors. The team evaluated the available time margins to perform the actions to verify the reasonableness of PSEG's procedures and risk assumptions. The team also reviewed room heat-up calculations and a test performed to determine heat-up rates in various portions of the CRE used to evaluate the adequacy of the ventilation alignment following implementation of the procedure.
I b. Findinqs lntroduction: The team identified a finding of very low safety significance (Green)involving a non-cited violation of 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion XVl, "Corrective Action," because PSEG did not identify and correct a condition adverse to quality.
Specifically, PSEG did not identify and correct the degraded condition of the Unit 1 and Unit 2 CREACS common suction expansion joints because they did not implement appropriate PMs per their performance-centered maintenance (PCM) template.
Description:
During a walkdown of the Unit 2 CREACS fans on February 10,2011, the team identified a small tear (approximately 1.5 inches in length) in the expansion joint between the CREACS filter housing and the cooling coil. The small opening represented a CRE breach and was of particular concern as it was downstream of the HEPA filter and immediately upstream of the common suction to both Unit 2 CREACS fans. This deficiency potentially impacted both Salem operating units as the redundant Unit 1 and Unit 2 CREACS trains supply filtered air under accident conditions to a common control room. In response, PSEG personnel initiated corrective action NOTF 20496285. Operators promptly entered TS 3.7.6 for this CRE breach and initiated mitigation actions. On February 10, maintenance installed a patch on the filter housing expansion joint covering the tear and two other wear spots. On the morning of February 11, operations reviewed and accepted the repair and engineering performed a satisfactory smoke test to validate the repairs while CAV was aligned for accident pressurized mode of operation in accordance with 52.OP-ST.SSPS-0010. Operators exited TS 3.7.6 and declared the CRE operable.
During a post-repair and extent-of-condition walkdown of the Unit 1 and Unit 2 CREACS trains on the afternoon of February 11,2011, the team identified several wear spots and three additional small breaches on the Unit 1 and Unit 2 filter housing expansion joints.
In response, PSEG personnel initiated NOTFs 20496388 and 20496387 for the Unit 1 and Unit 2 expansion joint issues, respectively. PSEG determined that the additional wear spots and small openings were enveloped by their existing technical evaluation performed in response to the identified unplanned breach on February 10 and the results of their CRE tracer gas testing performed in September 2010. The team found PSEG's evaluation reasonable. Notwithstanding, PSEG prioritized the repair of these additional degraded locations and maintenance patched both Unit 1 and Unit 2 CREACS filter housing expansion joints by February 15,2011. Following this repair effort, the team performed additionalwalkdowns on the Unit 1 and Unit 2 CREACS trains and did not identify any additional deficiencies.
PSEG determined that the individual inlet and outlet expansion joints for each respective Unit 1 and Unit 2 CREACS fan all had existing 2-year PM recurring tasks to perform inspection and repairs, as necessary. However, PSEG had not created similar PM tasks for the larger common filter housing expansion joints (one for each unit) contrary to the guidance in their expansion joint PCM template (NOTF 20496357). In addition, the expansion joint PCM template noted that a review of industry OE showed that the mean time to failure for rubber expansion joints is 12 to 15 years. Based on the team's questions, PSEG concluded that the filter housing expansion joints were most likely manufactured in 1975 and installed during initial construction. The team concluded that had PSEG created the expansion joint PM in January 2007 in accordance with their PCM template guidance, they would have likely identified the condition during inspections and/or replaced the dated expansion joints. The team noted that PSEG had several opportunities to identify the missing PMs since January 2007 including
- (1) in June 2008, a PSEG self-assessment identified that there were no active PMs to inspect the expansion joints at the inleUoutlet of the CREACS fans and created a 2-year PM;
- (2) in July 2009, PSEG inspected the No. 21 and No. 22 CREACS fan expansion joints (PMs 30170606 and 30170607) which are located in close proximity to the degraded Unit 2 expansion joint; and
- (3) in June 2010, PSEG performed PM template reviews on critical heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) expansion joints. Upon identification of the issue in February 2011, engineering promptly initiated a PM change request (PMCR). The PSEG PM Oversight Committee Chair reviewed and approved the associated PMCR. The PMCR prescribed an initial expansion joint replacement, followed by recurring periodic inspections, and an 18-year scheduled replacement (70119543). PSEG targeted the first-call replacements for the next available maintenance windows. PSEG also initiated corrective action NOTFs to perform extent-of-condition inspections from the inside of the expansion joint plenums (20496442 and 20496443).
The team noted that PSEG personnel missed several opportunities to identify the degraded condition of the Unit 1 and Unit 2 expansion joints and engage their CAP that may have precluded NRC identification in February 2011. Specifically, these opportunities included
- (1) an Unit 2 filter unit inspection on July 26, 2010 (WO 50121539),
- (2) walkdowns associated with tracer gas testing in September 2010,
- (3) system engineering walkdowns of the Unit 1 and Unit 2 CREACS rooms on December 29,2010, and
- (4) engineering extent-of-condition walkdowns on February 10,2011. Based on the time dependent nature of the expansion joint wear (long-term aging and cyclic fatigue of the expansion boot), the team concluded that the degraded condition most likely existed since July 26,2010.
Analvsis: The team determined that the failure to identify and correct the degraded condition of the CREACS expansion joints was a performance deficiency that was reasonably within PSEG's ability to foresee and prevent. Specifically, PSEG had not implemented appropriate PMs for the CREACS common suction expansion joints per their expansion joint performance-centered maintenance (PCM) template. The team noted that the finding was not similar to any of the examples in NRC IMC 0612, Appendix E, Examples of Minor lssues. The finding was more than minor because it was associated with the barrier (door, dampers, seals) performance attribute of the Barrier Integrity Cornerstone and adversely affected the cornerstone objective of providing reasonable assurance that physicaldesign barriers (the CRE in this case)protect the control room operators from radionuclide releases caused by accidents or events. The finding was evaluated in accordance with IMC 0609, Attachment 4, Table 4a for a containment barrier. Since the finding had the potential to impact more than the radiological barrier function, a Region I Senior Reactor Analyst (SRA)performed a Phase 3 analysis. The SRA determined that the dominant sequence involved a sufficient degradation of the CREACS barrier that would allow sufficient in-leakage to force an evacuation of the control room during a fire or toxic gas event. The areas with the degradation were in room 15615 and 25615 for Units 1 and 2, respectively. The SRA evaluated these areas and determined that the potential impact due to in-leakage through the degraded barrier from fire and toxic gas would be negligible. The SRA also reviewed the results of recent CRE in-leakage testing conducted in September 2010. The condition of the expansion joint tearing and wear could reasonably be assumed to have existed during the September testing. This testing also confirmed that the total in-leakage in these areas was small. Based on the above factors, the SRA determined the finding was of very low safety significance (Green).
This finding had a cross-cutting aspect in the area of Human Performance, Work Control Component, because PSEG did not plan work activities to support long{erm equipment reliability by ensuring that maintenance scheduling was more preventive than reactive. Specifically, PSEG did not implement appropriate PMs on the CREACS filter expansion joints necessitating several reactive corrective maintenance (CM) activities.
(lMC 0310, Aspect H.3(b))
Enforcement:
10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion XVl, "Corrective Action," requires, in part, that measures shall be established to assure that conditions adverse to quality, such as failures, malfunctions, deficiencies, deviations, defective material and equipment, and non-conformances are promptly identified and corrected. Contrary to the above, PSEG did not promptly identify and correct the degraded condition of the Unit 1 and Unit 2 expansion joints that existed from approximately July 26, 2010, to February 11,2011. Because this violation was of very low safety significance (Green)and has been entered into PSEG's CAP (NOTFs 20496357,20496387,20496388), it is being treated as an NCV consistent with Section 2.3.2 of the NRC Enforcement Policy.

The lN was issued to inform licensees about OE regarding unique solid state protection system (SSPS) failures that cause spurious Sl actuations and cannot be overridden with control room panel override switches. The team reviewed PSEG's evaluation of the operation and maintenance issues associated with the SSPS OE. Specifically, the team reviewed corrective action documents and abnormaloperating procedure (AOP)
S1.OP-AB.SSP-0001, Local Reset of ESF Actuation, and interviewed the system engineer to validate that PSEG
- (1) established a PM program for SSPS electronic cards,
- (2) developed an AOP to reset spurious Sl signals locally if the control room switches were ineffective, and
- (3) maintained a life-cycle for SSPS electronic cards.

.2.3.5 Stem Lubricant
a. Inspection Scope
The team evaluated PSEG's applicability review and disposition of NRC lN 2010-03.
The NRC issued the lN to inform licensees of recent failures and corrective actions for MOVs because of degraded lubricant on the valve stem and actuator stem nut threaded area. The team reviewed corrective action documents and maintenance procedures to ensure that PSEG adequately maintained applicable MOVs to preclude the degraded conditions described in the lN. The team conducted several risk-informed walkdowns of accessible MOVs to independently assess the material condition of MOV valve stem and actuator stem nut threaded areas and reviewed the PM history for a sample of valves.

OTHER ACTIVITIES
4c42 ldentification and Resolution of Problems (lP 71152)
The team reviewed a sample of problems that PSEG had previously identified and entered into the CAP. The team reviewed these issues to verify an appropriate threshold for identifying issues and to evaluate the effectiveness of corrective actions.
In addition, the team reviewed corrective action NOTFs written on issues identified during the inspection to verify adequate problem identification and incorporation of the problem into the CAP. The specific corrective action documents that were sampled and reviewed by the team are listed in the attachment.
b. Findinqs No findings were identified.
