Event Followup a.

Reactor Trip on Unit 1 A reactor trip was experienced on Unit 1 at 22:02 hours on August 27.

The reactor was at 100% power when one of the two main feedwater pumps tripped. The operators reduced load to compensate, however the reactor tripped on low low steam generator level.

~*

Response and recovery from the trip were in accordance with approved procedures.

An immediate notification to KRC headquarters was made within one hour of the event.

l

!

Reactor startup was observed on August 28 with criticality occuring I

at 1407 hours0.0163 days <br />0.391 hours <br />0.00233 weeks <br />5.353635e-4 months <br />.

Power ascension to approximately 30% was observed.

The licensee closely monitored and observed all important reactor conditions with particular emphasis on axial flux difference.

l Procedures for determining axial flux difference were acceptable and

!

technical specification r;quirements were satisfied.

b.

Reactor Trip and Safety Injection on Unit 2 At 0536 hours0.0062 days <br />0.149 hours <br />8.862434e-4 weeks <br />2.03948e-4 months <br /> on August 29, a Unit 2 reactor trip occurred on steam flow / feed flow mismatch and low steam generator level for steam

,

l generator 2-4.

The steam flow / feed flow mismatch was due to the j

reactor protection set testing, and the low steam generator level occurred because of the turbine driven auxiliary feedwater pump l

endurance run steam demands. Operators were involved in maintaining reactor power below an administrative limit at the time of the steam generator levels reduction. All control rods inserted and required safety-related systems responded as desig '

At 0537 hours0.00622 days <br />0.149 hours <br />8.878968e-4 weeks <br />2.043285e-4 months <br />, a safet y injection occurred due to high steam flow coincident with low low average reactor coolant system temperature (TAVG). Again, the h gh steam flow was due to the protection set II testing. The low low TAVG was due to the cooldown caused by the reactor trip coincident with the turbine driven auxiliary feedwater pump steam demand. The cooldown went from a TAVG of 547 degrees fahrenheit to 543 in about one and a half minutes to a final TAVG of about 530 af ter termination and stabilization of the event. The safety injection resulted in approximately 1200 gallons of boric acid injection into the reactor coolant system. Equipment actuations were as designed except that diesel generator 2-1 did not start due to a clearance for maintenance and containment spray pump 2-2 started for unexplained reasons. The containment spray pump start did r.at inject water into the containment because the normally closed valve to the spray system remained closed as designed. The safety injection was reset and terminated at 0540 and an unusual event was declared and notifications began at 0543.

Upon returning plant systems to normal, af ter the safety injection, the main steamline isolation valves could not be opened upon demand.

It was understood that time was required to equalize pressure around the main steamline isolation valves inorder to open them, but the operator felt sufficient time for equalization had already elapsed.

- It was then conjectured that the containment spray pump start may have had something to do with the failure of the main steamline isolation valves to reopen. Therefore, the Phase B containment isolation control switch (which is a signal that starts the

'

containment spray pump) was reset, although, there was no apparent Phase B signal actuation. The main steamline isolation valves were then successfully reopened.

The licensees investigation of the erroneous equipment operations centered on the solid state protection system designed to actuate the containment spray pump and main steamline isolation valve closure. Surveillance tests were performed to verify all associated functions of the solid state protection system were correct.

Additionally, examinations of wiring and relays in the solid state protection system verified the associated systems were installed as designed. Actuating components (breakers and valves) were inspected

,

and tested to assure proper functioning. Other solid state protection systems were actuated to verify that there were no possible interactions.

The investigations concluded the containment spray pump start could have been due to a stuck relay. This relay was replaced and bench tested. The bench testing did not provide any indication that the relay had been stuck.

Investigation of the main steamline isolation valve failure to reopen, included the above type verification and a test to determine the timing required to equalize presaure across the valve to reopen.

The test revealed that insufficient time had been allowed to equalize the pressure across the valves and that the phase B reset was just coincidental.

Oxygen Analyzer for Waste Gas Decay Tanks The inspector observed selected portions of the preventive maintenaace on the subject instrumentation for Unit 1.

TS requirements were satisfied for removal from service. Procedures for the examination and adjustments to the instruemnt were approved and were understood and adhered to by the I&C technician. The instrument was tested and returned to service in accordance with TS operability requirements.

d.

Nuclear Instrument Selected portions of troubleshooting of erratic readings on the subject neutron detector and instrument channel, NI 41, for Unit I were observed by the inspectors. The instrument was removed from service in accordance with applicable TS.

An inspector verified certification for the replacement detector met licensee material control requirements. Testing to assure operability was performed in accordance with applicable STP requirements, and the system was acceptably returned to service, e.

Reactor Coolant Pump Motor At the end of the Unit 2 low power test program RCP 2-4, upon re-start, experienced an unexpected phase-to-phase fault of the stator winding. This RCP stator was removed from containment and sent offsite for repair. Two other Unit 2 RCP motors (2-1 and 2-2)

were disassembled and their stators sent away for epoxy re-coating as preventive maintenance.

Inspectors observed portions of the removal, examination and installation of these motors. All work observed was in accordance with approved shop work followers and authorized clearances.

No violations or deviations were identified.

5.

Surveillance By direct observation and record review of licensee surveillance testing, the inspectors verified compliance with TS requirements and implementating plant procedures for the.following items:

a.

Phase A Containment Isolation Valves Exercising An inspector observed selected portions of STP V-3S3.

This test verified operablity of power operated isolation valves for flow paths associated with the reactor coolant drain tank and containment sump. Containment isolation valve stroke times were verified to be less than 10 seconds in accordance with the TS 3.6.3 and applicable surveillance requirements.

Instrumentation was within calibration, and test data was accurately recorded and reviewed by senior licensed opertors.

d.

Station Battery 2-1 Service Test

'

STP M-12C, " Station Battery Service Test", is performed at a nominal l

18 month frequency during shutown conditions to comply with TS 4.8.3.1.d.

This test verified each 125 volts direct current station-battery has sufficient capacit f to supply emergency loads for two hours and maintain cell voltage above 1.75 volts.

STP e

'

M-11B, " Measurement of Station Battery Voltage and Specific Gravity", is normally performed just prior to this test.

i The inspector evaluated the test results of STP M-11B for station

battery 2-1 and found them acceptable. Test equipment hookup and system alignmnet of station battery 2-1 was verified in accordance

with STP M-12C.

The inspector observed a portion of the in progress l

'

performance were identified by the inspector.

e.

Containment Isolation Valve Leak Tests STP V-600 provides the general program instructions and acceptance criteria for conducting containment isolation valve leak tests required to verify compliance with leakage limits established by TS and ASME Section XI. A series of V-600 procedures provide specific instructions for individual containment isolation valve leak tests.

The surveillance interval for these type C tests is 24 months. All type C penetration leak tests have been scheduled for completion during the Unit 2 startup outage. Major portions of leak testing activities performed by plant engineers were observed by the inspector for isolation valves associated with penetrations No. 46, 52, and 59. The local leakage rate test of the Unit I containment purge supply valves (FCV-660/661) was also observed. This particular test was performed within the required 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> af ter a l

Test results for all observed local leak rate tests were acceptable limits. No deficiencies or discrepancies were identified during the review and observations of test activities.

No violations or deviations were identified.

6.

Startup Testing a.

Initial Criticality Unit 2 The approach to initial criticality was conducted in accordance with the S/U test procedure 41.2.

This procedure was consistent with the licensee's instructions to startup engineers in format and had been properly reviewed and approved.

Prerequisites established proper instrument and equipment operability requirements and reactor conditions.

Precautions identified manning and administrative control requirements.

The inspectors confirmed selected TS requirements during the initial criticality evolution including shift manning. During boron dilution of the RCS, the licensee's estimated critical position and calculations were verified by the inspectors and compared to predictions.

Several boron analyses and the overlap of the source and intermediate range nuclear instrumentation were also observed.

For initial criticality of Unit 2, the licensee had revised the mode of dilution from " alternate dilute" to " dilute".

The dilute mode places all the primary makeup. water into the volume control tank rather than distributing a larger portion directly to the charging pump suction as in the alternate dilute mode (alternate dilute was used for initial' criticality of Unit 1).

The licensee recognized this' mode of dilution places a large amount of primary water in the volume control tank which.could later be a source of positive reactivity addition. This probable affect was compensated for by a conservative reduction in the water volume added to the RCS, as well Os a reduction in the makeup level setpoint to the volume control tank. This test change was appropriately reviewed, approved and documented.

Dilution was terminated at an inverse count rate ratio of.24, however, the volume of diluted water (acting as positive reactivity insertion) in the volume control tank automatically charging into the RCS'was sufficient to. bring.he reactor critical. The transient condition was observed and adeqt ately controlled by the operators.

Criticality was subsequently achieved within acceptance criteria for the startup test. However, the plan haa originally been to stabilize the reactor at an inverse count rate ratio of 0.2 and then appproach criticality over a 2 to 4 hours4.62963e-5 days <br />0.00111 hours <br />6.613757e-6 weeks <br />1.522e-6 months <br /> period.

,

The failure to achieve a slower approach to criticality has been attributed to lack of adequate turnover concerning the effect of the dilute mode to the nuclear engineer. Without this adequate turnover, the nuclear engineer directed additional water be added to the volume control tank, which was sufficient to reach criticality.

.

Licensee management analyzed the event and concluded additional conservatism or description should have been provided to the nuclear engineer, but the reactor criticality evolution was conducted in a controlled and safe manner, b.

Zero Power Physics Tests - Unit 2 The inspectors observed selected portions of the following tests:

Isothermal Temperature Coefficient and Boron Endpoint

Measurement-Startup Test 41.3.

Control Rods and Boron Reactivity Worth-Startup Test 41.4 Psuedo Ejected Rod Worth-Startup Test 41.6

Minimum Shutdown Verification and Stuck Rod Worth Measurement-Startup Test 41.7

All tests observed by the inspectors were conducted in accordance with requirements of the procedure or acceptable revisions to the procedure by qualified personnel. Test equipment was calibrated, and data was collected and reviewed. Acceptance criteria were met and the licensee management reviewed the results prior to authorization of continued power ascension testing.

Compliance to selected TSs was observed.

c.

Overall Startup Test Program Administrative control of Unit 2 startup is controlled by S/U procedure 40.0, which is similar to that used for Unit 1.

The inspector's review of the procedure indicated that tests have been identified and sequenced, responsibilities, including documentation, have been defined for the testing organizations, and specific test procedures have appropriate format and information to assure acceptable test conduct. Finally, observations have confirmed that the test program has been conducted in accordance with the S/U procedure 40.0 to-date.

d.

Quality Assurance Program for Startup Testing - Unit 1 The licensee's QA program, covering operational activities associated with startup and power ascension testing on Unit 1, was reviewed by the inspector. Program requirements and procedures for e.,

condccting audits were previously evaluated, as documented in NRC IR 50-275/84-30. Five audit reports of the testing program were evaluated for compliance with applicable audit procedures. The inspector verified corrective action had been accomplished for any identitied deficiencies.

e.

Power Level Plateau Data Review - Unit 1 Test results for 4 startup tests were previously reviewed as described in IR 50-275/85-26.

In addition, test results for the following startup tests were evaluated during this inspection period.

Plant Trip from 100% Power During-th'e Plant Trip from 100% Power test, the acceptance criterion for overall resistance temperature detector response time was not met.

However, the licensee dispositioned this anomaly through discussions with Westinghouse.

No violations or deviations were identified.

7.

Independent Inspection a.

Control of Overtime Work Inspectors reviewed licensee NPAP A-8, " Overtime and Emergency Relief Restrictions." The restrictions specified in this procedure were consistent with the TS requirements and other industry and NRC guidance. Additionally, exceptions to these restrictions can be approved only by the Plant Manager or Plant Superintendent.

Discussions with shift foreman and other licensed operators verified their understanding and correct implementation of these restrictions.

b.

Warehousing of Class 1 Material A NRC inspector entered Warehouse B (a Class 1 material storage area) via the Southwest roll-up door at 1853 hours0.0214 days <br />0.515 hours <br />0.00306 weeks <br />7.050665e-4 months <br /> on September 11, 1985. The NRC inspector was not challenged or escorted when he entered the warehouse attempting to locate a QC receipt inspector.

The NRC inspector then signed-in, issued himself a badge, and proceeded through the warehouse. Warehouse personnel, on duty, did not challenge the NRC inspector when he approached them at the opposite end of the warehouse. The personnel paged the swing shift material supervisor to assist the NRC inspector. As the NRC inspector was leaving the warehouse at 1902 hours0.022 days <br />0.528 hours <br />0.00314 weeks <br />7.23711e-4 months <br />, the supervisor asked him if he had been challenged upon entering the warehouse.

NPAP D-538, " Control of Material at DCPP" states in section F

" Storage of Materials," "1.

Access shall be limited at all times to those personnel on the current approved access list. Others shall j

be admitted only on a signed-in escort basis as required."

j As NPAP D-538 and 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion V (!nstuctions, Procedures, and Drawings) were apparently not followed, the above condition represents a violation of regulatory requirements (50-323/85-29-01). This is a repeat violation (See IR I

50-275/84-03); however, the previous occurrence involved licensee contractor storege areas.

c.

Class 1 Material Storage The inspectors toured a storage area near the 500 kilovolt switchyard and found a lack of segregation of Class 1 and Non-Class 1 material. Additionally, signs labeled both Class 1 and Non-Class 1 were used to mark the same area. This issue was promptly resolved by the licensee contract personnel responsible for this storage area. The material had recently been moved and the condition was a temporary and transient one.

Discussions were held with Bechtel QC engineers to insure such situations do not arise in the future, d.

Resolution of Cracked Welds The inspector has identified two cracked socket welds (see IR 50-275/84-32 and 50-323/85-17). As stated in the latter report, the licensee evaluated the generic implications of these and one other failed weld. The inspector reviewed the licensee's investigation of generic implications as well as the metallurgical failure analysis of the RHR vent line weld and could find no generic implications in the three failed welds. Additionally, the inspector monitored portions of the licensee leak minimization program and found the results acceptable.

One apparent violation and no deviations were identified.
