SUMMARY

IR 05000269/2016003, 05000270/2016003, and 05000287/2016003, July 1, 2016, through

September 30, 2016; Oconee Nuclear Station Units 1, 2, and 3; Evaluations of Changes, Tests and Experiments and Permanent Plant Modifications The report covered a 3-month period of inspection by resident inspectors and six regional inspectors. There was one NRC identified finding (FIN) documented in this report. The significance of inspection findings are indicated by their color (i.e., greater than Green, or Green, White, Yellow, Red) and determined using Inspection Manual Chapter (IMC) 0609,

Significance Determination Process, (SDP) dated April 29, 2015. The cross-cutting aspects are determined using IMC 0310, Aspects within the Cross-Cutting Areas dated December 4, 2014. All violations of NRC requirements are dispositioned in accordance with the NRCs Enforcement Policy dated August 1, 2016. The NRCs program for overseeing the safe operations of commercial nuclear power reactors is described in NUREG-1649, Reactor Oversight Process, Revision 6.

Cornerstone: Mitigating Systems

Green.

The NRC identified a finding for the licensees failure to translate the limiting flow rate design requirement into station procedures used to start and operate the alternate reactor building cooling (RBC) system, in accordance with the Duke Energy Carolinas Topical Report, Quality Assurance Plan (QAP). Specifically, the licensee failed to translate the limiting flow rate of 170 gallons per minute (gpm) into Procedure AP/0/A/1700/051,

Alternate Reactor Building Cooling, Revision (Rev.) 2, to ensure prevention of waterhammer on the A reactor building cooling unit (RBCU) or connecting low pressure service water (LPSW) lines when starting the RBCU Hale pump. The licensee entered this issue into their corrective action program as Action Request (AR) 02049903 and revised Procedure AP/0/A/1700/051 to limit the RBCU Hale pump discharge flow to each affected unit to an initial fill rate of 120 gpm or less.

The performance deficiency was determined to be more than minor because it adversely affected the protection against external factors 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, opening the RBCU Hale pump discharge valve four turns, as specified in the procedure, would have resulted in filling the alternate RBC system at approximately 600-700 gpm and exceeding the design flow rate of 170 gpm established to prevent equipment and piping damage as a result of waterhammer. This provided a reasonable doubt that the alternate RBC system had the capability to reliably perform its intended safety function and, in turn, that the protected service water (PSW) system had the capability to meet its 30-day mission time during a turbine building fire that resulted in a loss of offsite power. The finding was determined to be of very low safety significance (Green)because the finding would not have resulted in a fire that caused secondary fires outside of the originating fire area due to circuit issues and did not affect the ability to reach and maintain a stable plant condition within the first 24-hours of a fire event. The inspectors determined the finding was indicative of present licensee performance and was associated with the cross-cutting aspect of design margin, in the area of human performance.

Specifically, the licensee failed to operate and maintain the alternate RBC system equipment within design margins when they did not translate design requirements from Engineering Change (EC) 110008 and Calculation OSC-8107 into station procedures. [H.6]

(Section 1R17)

Violations of very low safety significance that were identified by the licensee have been reviewed by the NRC. Corrective actions taken or planned by the licensee have been entered into the licensees corrective action program. These violations and corrective action tracking numbers are listed in Section 4OA7 of this report.

1R17 Evaluation of Changes, Tests, and Experiments and Permanent Plant Modifications

a. Inspection Scope

Evaluations of Changes, Tests, and Experiments: The inspectors reviewed one safety evaluation performed pursuant to Title 10, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 50.59, to determine if the evaluation was adequate and that prior NRC approval was obtained as appropriate. The inspectors also reviewed five screenings where licensee personnel had determined that a 10 CFR 50.59 evaluation was not necessary. The inspectors reviewed these documents to determine if:

  • the changes, tests, or experiments performed were evaluated in accordance with 10 CFR 50.59 and that sufficient documentation existed to confirm that a license amendment was not required;
  • the safety issues requiring the changes, tests, or experiments were resolved;
  • the licensee conclusions for evaluations of changes, tests, or experiments were correct and consistent with 10 CFR 50.59; and
  • the design and licensing basis documentation used to support the change was updated to reflect the change.

The inspectors used, in part, Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI) 96-07, Guidelines for 10 CFR 50.59 Implementation, Rev. 1, to determine acceptability of the completed evaluations and screenings. The NEI document was endorsed by the NRC in Regulatory Guide 1.187, Guidance for Implementation of 10 CFR 50.59, Changes, Tests, and Experiments, dated November 2000.

Permanent Plant Modifications: The inspectors reviewed three permanent plant modifications that had been installed in the plant during the last three years. The modifications reviewed are listed below:

  • EC 110408, 4160VAC Distribution from PSW 4160 SWGR to AC Distribution and Chillers for PSW
  • EC 110240, Install Chillers, Auxiliary Skid, and Piping for the Alternate Chilled Water System
  • EC 110008, Supply Pump and Misc. Equipment for Non-QA Containment Cooling The inspectors reviewed the modifications selected to determine if:
  • the supporting design and licensing basis documentation was updated;
  • the changes were in accordance with the specified design requirements;
  • the test documentation as required by the applicable test programs had been updated; and
  • post-modification testing adequately verified system operability and/or functionality.

The inspectors also used applicable industry standards to evaluate acceptability of the modifications and performed walk-downs of accessible portions of the modifications.

Documents reviewed are listed in the attachment.

b. Findings

Failure to Translate Design Requirements to Prevent the Effects of Waterhammer

Introduction:

The NRC identified a Green finding for the licensees failure to translate the limiting flow rate design requirement into station procedures used to start and operate the alternate RBC system, in accordance with the Duke Energy Carolinas Topical Report, QAP. Specifically, the licensee failed to translate the limiting flow rate of 170 gpm into Procedure AP/0/A/1700/051, Alternate Reactor Building Cooling, Rev. 2, to ensure prevention of waterhammer on the A RBCU or connecting LPSW lines when starting the RBCU Hale pump.

Description:

For a fire in the turbine building that causes a loss of offsite power (LOOP)event or station blackout, the PSW system was designed to provide a diverse means to achieve and maintain safe shutdown by providing secondary side decay heat removal, reactor coolant system (RCS) pump seal cooling, RCS primary inventory control, and RCS boration. Section 9.7.3.4.5 of the Updated Final Safety Analysis Report, Rev. 25, stated that alternate cooling water and power to the existing ventilation systems was provided to recover from the potential loss of normal auxiliary building (AB) and reactor building (RB) ventilation and to support extended PSW system operation to meet National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 805 requirements. For alternate cooling to the reactor building, the alternate reactor building cooling (RBC) system used a series of portable pumps, including an RBCU Hale pump, and hoses connected to a pump skid to send cooling water from Lake Keowee to the A RBCU through existing LPSW piping.

Calculation OSC-10785, Gothic Containment Analysis Utilizing the Protected Service Water (PSW) System, Rev. 3, stated in part, that the PSW system must be capable of cooling the reactor coolant system to 250 degrees Fahrenheit and maintaining this temperature for a 30-day mission time so that damage repairs could be implemented prior to proceeding to cold shutdown. For this analysis, the critical equipment required for the PSW system to perform its design function was located in the AB and RB.

Calculation OSC-10785 also documented that at the 30-hour time period, when alternate RBC would be placed into service, reactor building containment temperature was projected to be above 212 degrees Fahrenheit. As a result, the inspectors determined that there was a potential for waterhammer in the existing RBCU or LPSW piping inside containment during the postulated fire event that required PSW operation for a mitigation strategy.

Engineering Change (EC) 110008, Supply Pump and Miscellaneous Equipment for Non-QA Containment Cooling, Rev. 8, dated November, 3, 2015, stated The fill and vent of the applicable piping must be done to prevent any waterhammer issues. Filling of the system shall occur at a flowrate less than 170 gpm. The inspectors noted that the reference document for this requirement was calculation OSC-8107, Mechanical Design Inputs for NSM ON-X3107, Rev. 2, dated May 18, 2014. Calculation OSC-8107, a quality assurance (QA) Condition 1 calculation, documented that during re-establishment of the RBCU following a loss of power, the limiting fill rate to the cooling units was 173 gpm to prevent equipment and piping damage as a result of waterhammer.

For the starting and operation of the RBCU Hale pump, the inspectors noted that Step 13 of Enclosure 5.4 in Procedure AP/0/A/1700/051, Alternate Reactor Building Cooling, Rev. 2, stated to open the RBCU Hale pump discharge valve to each affected unit four turns open. This would have resulted in filling the system at approximately 600-700 gpm, exceeding the established design flow rate of 170 gpm to prevent equipment and piping damage as a result of waterhammer. In addition, this would have adversely affected the reliability and capability of the alternate RBC system to perform its intended safety function during extended PSW operation.

The inspectors noted that the alternate RBC system contained safety-related structures, systems, and components (SSCs), specifically the A RBCU and associated LPSW piping. However, these components did not perform a safety-related function during the post fire safe shutdown when PSW would be in operation as a mitigating strategy. As a result, these components were not required to meet the regulatory requirements set forth in Appendix B of Title 10 CFR Part 50. The inspectors noted, however, that the licensee had established self-imposed standards that items identified as QA Condition 1 would conform to the requirements set forth in 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B.

The Duke Energy Topical Report, Amendment 41, stated that the topical report applies in its entirety to systems, components, items, and services identified as QA Condition 1 and that the topical report conforms to the requirements of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B.

Title 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion III, Design Control, required, in part, that measures be established to assure that applicable regulatory requirements and the design basis, as defined in § 50.2 and as specified in the license application, for those SSCs to which this appendix applies are correctly translated into specifications, drawings, procedures, and instructions. Contrary to the above, the licensee failed to translate the limiting fill rate of 170 gpm into Procedure AP/0/A/1700/051, Alternate Reactor Building Cooling to ensure prevention of waterhammer on the A RBCU or connecting LPSW lines during extended PSW operation.

The licensee generated AR 02049903 on July 29, 2016, and revised Procedure AP/0/A/1700/051 to limit the RBCU Hale pump discharge flow to each affected unit to an initial fill rate of 120 gpm or less, which included instrument uncertainty.

Analysis:

The licensees failure to translate the limiting flow rate design requirements of the alternate RBC system into station procedures, in accordance with the Duke Energy Carolinas Topical Report, QAP, was a performance deficiency. The performance deficiency was determined to be more than minor because it adversely affected the protection against external factors 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, opening the RBCU Hale pump discharge valve four turns, as specified in the procedure, would have resulted in filling the alternate RBC system at approximately 600-700 gpm, exceeding the design flow rate of 170 gpm established to prevent equipment and piping damage as a result of waterhammer. This provided a reasonable doubt that the alternate RBC system had the capability to reliably perform its intended safety function and, in turn, that the PSW system had the capability to meet its 30-day mission time during a turbine building fire that resulted in a LOOP.

The finding was assessed using IMC 0609, Att. 4, Initial Characterization of Findings, issued June 19, 2012, for the mitigating systems cornerstone, and the inspectors determined this finding affected the ability to reach and maintain safe shutdown in case of a fire, which required the use of IMC 0609 Appendix F, Fire Protection Significance Determination Process, issued September 20, 2013. Using the Phase 1 Qualitative Screening Approach, the inspectors determined this finding was associated with Table 1.4.5, Post Fire Safe Shutdown, because the function of the alternate RBC system was relied upon for post fire safe shutdown when PSW was in operation as a mitigating strategy. The finding was determined to be of very low safety significance (Green)because the finding would not have resulted in a fire that caused secondary fires outside of the originating fire area due to circuit issues and did not affect the ability to reach and maintain a stable plant condition within the first 24-hours of a fire event. This was because the alternate RBC system was not required to be placed into service until 30 hours3.472222e-4 days <br />0.00833 hours <br />4.960317e-5 weeks <br />1.1415e-5 months <br /> after the fire event.

Since this issue was introduced on May 18, 2014, the inspectors determined the finding was indicative of present licensee performance and was associated with the cross-cutting aspect of design margin, in the area of human performance, per IMC 0310, Aspects Within Cross Cutting Areas, issued December 4, 2014. Specifically, the licensee failed to operate and maintain the alternate RBC system equipment within design margins when they did not translate design requirements from EC 110008, dated November, 3, 2015, and Calculation OSC-8107, a QA Condition 1 calculation, dated May 18, 2014, into station procedures to prevent potential damage of the A RBCU and associated LPSW piping as a result of waterhammer. [H.6]

Enforcement:

The inspectors did not identify a violation of regulatory requirements associated with this finding. Because this finding does not involve a violation and is of very low safety significance, it is identified as a FIN. (FIN 05000269, 270, 287/2016003-01, Failure to Translate Design Requirements to Prevent the Effects of Waterhammer).

The inspectors reviewed problem identification program reports, attended screening meetings, or accessed the licensees computerized corrective action database.

.2 Annual Followup of Selected Issues

Safety Conscious Work Environment

a. Inspection Scope

NRC inspectors conducted an assessment of the Safety Conscious Work Environment (SCWE) in the major projects group and contractors at the Oconee site. NRC inspectors conducted interviews with staff, contractors, supervisors, and the Major Projects Manager. Specifically, the NRC interviewed fifty-four contractors and seven Duke supervisors/managers at the Oconee site. Forty-two of the contractors interviewed were from the major projects group.

During the inspection, inspectors were sensitive to areas and issues that would represent challenges to the free flow of information, such as areas where employees may be reluctant to raise concerns or report issues in the corrective action program.

b. Assessment Based on the interviews, the inspectors determined that, overall, licensee management emphasized the need for all employees to identify and report problems using the appropriate methods established within the administrative programs, including the corrective action program, the employee concerns program, supervisors, and managers.

Personnel interviewed knew that these methods were readily accessible to all employees.

The inspectors determined that employees felt free to raise issues, and that management encouraged employees to place issues into the corrective action program for resolution. The inspectors did not identify any reluctance on the part of the licensee staff, contractors, supervisors, or managers to report safety concerns.

Based on our review and assessment, the NRC concluded the safety conscious work environment in the major projects group and the contractors at the Oconee site is adequate to support nuclear safety.

4OA3 Followup of Events and Notices of Enforcement Discretion (NOED)

.1 (Closed) LER 05000287/2016-001 Unit 3 Reactor Building Cooling Unit Inoperability

Exceeds Technical Specification Completion Time

a. Inspection Scope

On June 28, 2016, anomalies were noted on 3C RBCU inlet temperature readings, which were reading low. Upon further investigation by maintenance and engineering, the licensee determined that the 3C RBCU fan was running in the reverse direction in slow speed, causing the 3C RBCU to be inoperable. The licensee determined that the reason for the 3C RBCU fan running in the reverse direction was due to the inadvertent rolling of the RBCU motor control center (MCC) contactor leads during maintenance performed during the spring 2016 refueling outage. The licensee entered this event into their corrective action program as NCRs 02038756, 02041479, 02041501, and 02041502. As part of the licensees corrective actions, the licensee corrected the leads for the 3C RBCU fan, trained/counseled plant personnel and enhanced the associated procedures.

The inspectors reviewed this LER, the licensees apparent cause evaluation, and corrective action documents to verify the accuracy of the LER and that corrective actions were identified and implemented to address the issue. LER 05000287/2016-001 is closed.

b. Findings

One licensee-identified violation was identified and documented in Section 4OA7 of this report.

.2 (Closed) LER 05000287/2013-001-01 Unit 3 Manual Reactor Trip Due to Main

Feedwater Flow Oscillations

a. Inspection Scope

On October 24, 2013 control room operators manually tripped the Unit 3 reactor while it was operating at 100 percent RTP. The operators noted abnormal main feedwater oscillations. The licensee originally determined that an actuator O-ring was binding and prevented free movement of feedwater control valve 3FWD-32. On January 31, 2015, Unit 3 experienced abnormal main feedwater oscillations and control room operators tripped the reactor while operating at 100 percent RTP. The licensee determined the cause of feedwater control valve 3FWD-32 fluctuations was a faulty electronic-to-pneumatic (E/P) converter. The licensee replaced the E/P converter and restored the unit to 100 percent RTP. The licensee determined that the most likely cause of the October 24, 2013 event was the E/P convertor instead of the degraded O-ring as previously noted. The licensee submitted a revised version of the original LER 05000287/2013-001-00 to provide the new information.

The inspectors reviewed the supplemental information provided in LER 05000287/2013-001-01, the original version of LER 05000287/2013-001-00; LER 05000287/2015-001-00 for the January 31, 2015 event; and the licensees corrective action documents associated with the above LERs. The inspectors had considered this supplemental information in the closure of LER 0500287/2015-001-00 determining no issue of concern existed. The supplemental information also does not alter the NRC conclusions related to the closure of LER 05000287/2013-001-01. The inspectors determined the licensees corrective actions were appropriate. LER 05000287/2013-001-01 is closed.

b. Findings

No findings were identified.

.3 (Closed) LER 05000269/2016-001-00 RPS Actuation - Unit 1 Reactor Trip Initiated by a

Generator Lockout/Turbine Trip

a. Inspection Scope

On March 6, 2016 the Y power bushing of the Unit 1 main transformer developed an electrical short which physically damaged the bushing and resulted in a fire. The reactor protection system initiated a reactor trip due to the main turbine tripping from a main generator lockout caused by the damaged bushing. The licensee declared a Notification of Unusual Event (NOUE) at 15:20 and activated their emergency response organization. The licensees fire brigade responded to the resultant fire and implemented proper firefighting techniques to the immediate area of the main transformer. The fire duration was sufficient to cause the central phase overhead power cable to the 230KV switchyard to fail and drop across the 230KV Yellow bus which resulted in all circuit breakers on that bus to open. The licensee declared an Alert condition following the de-energization of the 230KV switchyard bus.

The inspectors responded to the NOUE and Alert emergency declarations and evaluated the response of the plant, the licensees actions, and the conditions of safety related equipment. The inspectors reviewed the licensees root cause determination which acknowledged the failure of the bushing was a dielectric breakdown of the paper insulation inside the bushing resulting from oil contamination. The inspectors reviewed the licensees corrective actions which were implemented or planned. LER 05000269/2016-001-00 is closed.

b. Findings

No findings were identified.

b. Findings

No findings were identified. The inspectors reviewed the 21 implementation items discussed above and determined them to be acceptable. The inspectors have reviewed 42 of the 47 implementation items discussed in Oconee SE Section 2.9, Table 2.9-1, and found them to be acceptable. The 21 implementation items previously reviewed (Items 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 10, 11, 13, 14, 16, 17, 18, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, and 33) were documented as acceptable in NRC Inspection Report 05000269, 270, 287/2016007 (ML16124A845). The remaining five items (Implementation Items 23, 32, 41, 42, and 43) will be reviewed by the NRC during a subsequent inspection to review the licensees completion of Milestone 6 of the NRC Notice of Violation and Confirmatory Order dated July 1, 2013 (ML13114A928).

.3 Verification of Completion of Milestone 5 of Protected Service Water (PSW) Major Plant

Modification

a. Inspection Scope

Milestone 5 of Confirmatory Order EA-13-010 dated July 1, 2013, (Accession No.

ML13114A928) states:

The licensee shall provide the capability to supply electrical power from the PSW building switchgear to those DC battery chargers that provide power to controls and instrumentation that allow PSW system control and monitoring from the control room for an extended period of time as prescribed by the NFPA-805 fire protection program approved for Oconee. The licensee shall provide electrical power from the PSW building switchgear to at least 400 kW (nameplate rating) of pressurizer heaters for each unit, and provide the ability to select the PSW power source to those pressurizer heaters from the Auxiliary Building. The licensee shall provide Auxiliary Building and Reactor Building environments suitable for equipment operation. The licensee shall provide the ability to control and monitor the high-pressure injection equipment, the PSW equipment, and the steam generator heat removal equipment from the associated Oconee control rooms.

This modification along with approved plant procedures and the completion of operator training necessary to accomplish this lineup, and a combination of testing and engineering evaluation in accordance with station procedures which verifies this capability, will be completed and operational no later than February 4, 2016.

The inspectors reviewed a sample of engineering modifications to verify the PSW systems electrical capability to supply the required power to each units vital instrumentation and control system and the PSW systems electrical capability to supply at least 400kW to each units pressurizer heaters when safe shutdown operation is needed. The inspectors also reviewed a sample of engineering modifications to verify the licensees capability to provide an auxiliary building environment and reactor building environment suitable for operation. The reviews of these modifications consisted of reviewing the electrical and mechanical capability of the alternate chilled water (AWC)system and the alternate RBC system. These systems were required to ensure the PSW equipment could reach and maintain safe shutdown. The inspectors reviewed the PSW, AWC, and alternate RBC systems response during a turbine building fire event only, and as a result, the conclusions stated in this section were made based solely upon that event.

The inspectors reviewed calculations, procedures, licensing documents, completed tests, drawings, and hydraulic flow modeling software and Gothic analyses, in relation to the capability of the PSW, AWC, and alternate RBC systems capability to perform their function during a fire event. The inspectors reviewed the licensees fire analysis and AWC cable analysis to assess the licensees strategy for mitigation of fire impacts in the turbine building. The inspectors also performed walk-downs of the turbine building and roof to verify the assumptions and ignition sources documented in the fire analysis. The inspectors reviewed a sample of corrective action documents that were written in relation to the PSW major project modification. This sample included a review of corrective actions associated with the seismic qualification of transformers CT6 and CT7, which supplies power to the PSW switchgear, and a review of the pressurizer pressure operated relief valves capability to operate during a turbine building fire that required PSW as a mitigation strategy.

The inspectors performed walk-downs of the PSW, AWC, and alternate RBC system to assess the material condition of the equipment. The inspectors also performed a walk-down of the Unit 1, Unit 2, and Unit 3 control rooms to verify that the licensee had the capability to control and monitor equipment relied upon during the operation of the PSW system. The inspectors conducted interviews with the licensees staff and with the contractors who performed the analysis to verify that the calculation model accurately reflected the as-built plant configuration. Final verification of completion of Milestone 5 is pending a review of the licensees plant procedures and operator training.

b. Findings

No findings were identified.

4OA6 Meetings, Including Exit

On October 10, 2016, the resident inspectors presented the inspection results to Mr.

Tom Ray and other members of the licensees staff. The inspectors verified that no proprietary information was retained by the inspectors or documented in this report.

4OA7 Licensee-Identified Violations

The following violation of very low safety-significance (Green) was identified by the licensee and is a violation of NRC requirements which meets the criteria of the NRC Enforcement Policy, for being dispositioned as a Non-Cited Violation.

  • Technical Specification (TS) 5.4.1., Procedures, states, in part, written procedures shall be established, implemented, and maintained covering activities described in Regulatory Guide 1.33, Revision 2, Appendix A, February 1978. Procedure MP/0/A/3009/017, Visual PM Inspection and Electrical Motor Tests is used by the licensee during maintenance of electric motors. Contrary to the above, on April 25, 2016, the licensee did not adequately implement maintenance procedure MP/0/A/3009/017. Specifically, the licensee incorrectly wired the 3C RBCU motor control center contactor leads during maintenance causing 3C RBCU fan to operate in the reverse direction. On June 16, 2016, during an engineer walkdown, the engineer noted anomalies in the RBCU inlet temperature readings. On June 28, 2016, while investigating the temperature readings the licensee discovered that the 3C RBCU fan was operating in the reverse direction and declared the 3C RBCU inoperable. The 3C RBCU was inoperable when the plant entered Mode 4 on May 14, 2016 until June 28, 2016 when the 3C RBCU was repaired (approximately 45 days). Technical Specification 3.6.5, Reactor Building Spray and Cooling Systems, requires all three trains of RBCU operable while in Modes 1, 2, 3, and 4. On May 14, 2016, Unit 3 was starting-up from the refueling outage and entered Modes 4 through 1 with one train of RBCU inoperable. This action of changing modes with the 3C RBCU inoperable is prohibited by TS 3.0.4. The licensee entered this condition into their corrective action program as NCR 02041501. The licensee also restored 3C RBCU operability, trained/counseled technicians, and incorporated a procedure change which will enhance configuration control for the lifted leads aspect in the maintenance procedure for this activity. This finding was assessed using IMC 0609, Phase 1 screening worksheet of Attachment 4, Appendix A, and Appendix H, and was determined to be of very low safety significance (Green).
