List of Findings and Violations
Transient Combustibles Stored in Restricted Area Cornerstone Significance Cross-Cutting Aspect Report Section Mitigating Systems Green NCV 05000280/2021002-01 Open/Closed
[P.3] -
Resolution 71152 NRC inspectors identified a finding of very low safety significance (Green) and an associated non-cited violation (NCV) of License Condition 3.I, Fire Protection, associated with Dominion Energys failure to implement and maintain in effect the provisions of the approved fire protection program as described in the Updated Final Safety Analysis Report (UFSAR), which resulted in transient combustible conditions adverse to fire protection including storage within a restricted or combustion free zone.
Additional Tracking Items
None.
PLANT STATUS
Unit 1 began the inspection period at rated thermal power. On April 13, 2021, Unit 1 began coast down from rated thermal power to 80 percent and performed shut down, on April 25, 2021, for entry into a scheduled refueling outage. On May 31, 2021, Unit 1 achieved criticality following the outage returning to rated thermal power on June 4, 2021.
Unit 2 operated at or near rated thermal power 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 and regional 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, increasing the amount of time on site as local COVID-19 conditions permitted.
As part of their onsite activities, resident inspectors 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 a 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
Transient Combustibles Stored in Restricted Area Cornerstone Significance Cross-Cutting Aspect Report Section Mitigating Systems
Green NCV 05000280/2021002-01 Open/Closed
[P.3] -
Resolution 71152 NRC inspectors identified a finding of very low safety significance (Green) and an associated non-cited violation (NCV) of License Condition 3.I, Fire Protection, associated with Dominion Energys failure to implement and maintain in effect the provisions of the approved fire protection program as described in the Updated Final Safety Analysis Report (UFSAR), which resulted in transient combustible conditions adverse to fire protection including storage within a restricted or combustion free zone.
Description:
The inspectors performed a trend review of the transient combustible program based upon three NRC-identified and eight licensee-identified conditions adverse to fire protection dating from April 29, through May 12, 2021. These events included storage without a permit, storage in excess of permit limits, storage under an expired permit, storage under a permit for a different work activity, revising permit limits without updated safety review and approval, and storage in a restricted area without variance.
Surry implements the transient combustible program in accordance with CM-AA-FPA-100, Fire Protection/Appendix R (Fire Safe Shutdown) Program, and CM-AA-FPA-101, Control of Combustible and Flammable Materials, as incorporated by the Surry UFSAR and license commitment. In accordance with this process, the station entered the conditions adverse to fire protection from April 29, 2021, through May 12, 2021, into the corrective action program, restoring conditions in the field, performing crew human factors clock resets, departmental operating experience presentations, performance gap analyses, and training needs analyses.
However, Dominion Energys resolution of these events failed to prevent the same and similar failures to implement the transient combustible program as discovered by the NRC inspectors during a follow-up walkdown in one of the previously challenged areas, the auxiliary building 13-foot elevation, on June 16, 2021.
Specifically, the inspectors observed expired transient fire loading permit #403 at gate 15, with associated materials remaining in the work area. This permit supported a freeze seal and relief valve replacement completed four weeks earlier during the Unit 1 refueling outage.
The inspectors also found a large full radwaste trash bag, blue plastic floor matting, and a mop, bucket, and wringer assembly within the Unit 2 A charging pump cubicle without any posted transient fire loading permit. These materials remained from planned maintenance on the pump which was returned to service the week before. The inspectors engaged with the licensee on June 16, 2021, to determine which permit covered the associated work activity.
However, the licensee could not identify any within the station database which is required to be tracked and maintained by CM-AA-FPA-101.
Furthermore, the inspectors identified installed plastic matting as well as additional rolls of plastic matting, tape, and an oil drum stored immediately adjacent to and taller than the two-foot-high dike surrounding the Unit 1 charging pumps. Licensee procedure CM-AA-FPA-101, 9, Surry Power Station Transient Combustible Loading Limits and Restrictions, restricts loading in this area such that no transients will be stored within 10 feet of the charging pump dikes. Surry UFSAR, Section 9.10.2.4 describes these dikes as erected at the entrances to the charging pump cubicles to prevent pump damage from a transient combustible liquid spill or from possible fire protection leakage. The station posted transient fire loading permit #405 in the area to support the work activity with the step to observe restrictions in fire zones listed in [CM-AA-FPA-101] Attachments 8 and 9 or obtain variance checked completed. However, the inspectors found that the station had failed to establish any variance or compensatory actions associated with the transient combustibles stored within a restricted area or combustion free zone.
Corrective Actions: On June 16, 2021, Dominion Energy corrected the identified conditions adverse to fire protection in the field. The station has developed additional actions to assess weakness in prior corrective actions as well as identifying programmatic opportunities for improvement.
Corrective Action References: CR1172184, CR1172065, CR1172598, CR1175926, CA8483490
Performance Assessment:
Performance Deficiency: The inspectors found that Dominion Energys failure to implement the fire protection program in accordance with licensee procedures CM-AA-FPA-100 and CM-AA-FPA-101, which resulted in transient combustible conditions adverse to fire protection, was a performance deficiency reasonably within the licensees ability to foresee and prevent.
Screening: The inspectors determined the performance deficiency was more than minor because it was associated with the Protection Against External Factors 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 NRC inspectors identified transient combustibles stored adjacent and taller than the Unit 1 charging pump dike adversely affected the restricted or combustion free zones function to prevent fire spread. The inspectors used IMC 0612, Appendix E, Examples of Minor Issues, dated January 1, 2021, to inform answers to the more than minor screening questions and found this condition consistent with more than minor example 4.j.
Significance: The inspectors assessed the significance of the finding using Appendix F, Fire Protection and Post - Fire Safe Shutdown SDP. This finding was determined to be of very low safety significance (Green) as the unattended transient combustibles stored adjacent to the Unit 1 charging pump dike screened to a low degradation grading in accordance with IMC 0609, Appendix F, Attachment 2.
Cross-Cutting Aspect: P.3 - Resolution: The organization takes effective corrective actions to address issues in a timely manner commensurate with their safety significance. The inspectors found that Dominion Energys actions taken to address conditions adverse to fire protection from April 29 through May 12, 2021, failed to prevent the same and similar failures to implement the transient combustible program discovered by the NRC inspectors on June 16, 2021.
Enforcement:
Violation: License Condition 3.I, Fire Protection, states in part, The licensee shall implement and maintain in effect the provisions of the approved fire protection program as described in the Updated Final Safety Analysis Report UFSAR Section 9.10.1, Design Bases, states in part, Compliance with these criteria is contained in the following documents Fire Protection Program document and the associated Administrative Procedures describe the administrative and technical controls. Licensee procedure CM-AA-FPA-101, Attachment 9, Surry Power Station Transient Combustible Loading Limits and Restrictions, restricts loading such that no transients will be stored within 10 feet of the charging pump dikes.
Contrary to the above, on June 16, 2021, Dominion Energy failed to implement and maintain in effect the provisions of the approved fire protection program as described in the UFSAR, resulting in noncompliance with the fire protection program document, CM-AA-FPA-100, and the associated administrative procedure, CM-AA-FPA-101, which describe the administrative and technical controls of transient combustibles. Specifically, transient combustible material was stored immediately adjacent to and taller than the two-foot-high dike surrounding the Unit 1 charging pumps.
Enforcement Action: This violation is being treated as a non-cited violation, consistent with Section 2.3.2 of the Enforcement Policy.
