SUMMARY OF FINDINGS
IR 05000302/2009002; 01/01/2009-03/31/2009; Crystal River Unit 3; Problem Identification and
Resolution; Follow-up of Events and Notices of Enforcement Discretion.
The report covered a three month period of inspection by resident inspectors. Two Green findings and one Green NCV were identified. The significance of most findings is identified by their color (Green, White, Yellow, Red) using IMC 0609, Significance Determination Process (SDP). Findings for which the SDP does not apply may be Green or be assigned a severity level after NRC management review. The NRCs program for overseeing the safe operation of commercial nuclear power reactors is described in NUREG-1649, Reactor Oversight Process,
Revision 4, dated December 2006.
NRC Identified
& Self-Revealing Findings
- Green.
A self-revealing finding was identified for failing to have adequate controls in place to ensure the temperature of the emergency diesel room was maintained to support emergency diesel generator (EGDG) operability. As a result, during cold weather conditions, licensee personnel did not close an access door which caused a low EGDG-1B lube oil temperature condition and inoperability of the EGDG. Corrective actions include: posting signs on all external doors of both safety and non-safety EGDGs rooms indicating that the doors should not be left open, discussing the event with site personnel; and initiation of changes to the sites cold weather checklist to check closed EGDG room doors during cold weather conditions.
The finding was more than minor since it affected the equipment availability attribute of the Mitigating System Cornerstone and resulted in an unavailable emergency diesel generator train for approximately 13 hours1.50463e-4 days <br />0.00361 hours <br />2.149471e-5 weeks <br />4.9465e-6 months <br />. The inspectors assessed the finding using the SDP and determined that the finding was of very low safety significance (Green)since it was not a design or qualification deficiency, did not result in a loss of a system safety function, did not result in an actual loss of safety function of a single train for greater than allowed by improved technical specifications (ITS), did not represent an actual loss of safety function of risk-significant, non-technical specification equipment, and did not screen as risk significant due to external events. The inspectors found that the cause of this finding was not reflective of current performance since the EGDG door lacked the proper signage since initial plant operation. Therefore, a cross-cutting aspect was not assigned. (Section 4OA.2.2)
- Green.
The inspectors identified a NCV of 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion XVI,
Corrective Actions, for failure to take timely and effective corrective actions to prevent a second failure of a main feedwater isolation valve (MFIV) due to corrosion of the valve actuators magnesium rotor. Specifically, corrective actions associated with a similar failure of a MFIV in 2005 were not enhanced when additional information became available through NRC Information Notice (IN) 2006-026, Failure of Magnesium Rotors in Motor-Operator Valve Actuators. As a result, in December 2008, a MFIV failed to operate due to magnesium rotor degradation. Corrective actions for the failure of FWV-30 include: installation of a new motor; development and implementation of engineering changes to replace the stations motor-operated valve (MOV) magnesium rotor motors with aluminum rotor motors (when available); ensuring the engineering staff is trained on effective correction action plans; and revision of MOV maintenance procedures to include information obtained from IN 2006-026 prior to the next MOV inspections.
The finding was more than minor because it affected the equipment availability attribute of the Mitigating System cornerstone and resulted in a MFIV being inoperable for a period of time greater than allowed by ITS. Since the valve would not have performed its safety function for greater than the ITS allowed outage time, a SDP Phase 2 analysis was required. Based upon the Phase 2 results, a regional senior reactor analyst performed a Phase 3 evaluation. The Phase 3 evaluation concluded that the finding was of very low safety significance (Green). A contributing cause of the finding is related to the cross-cutting area of Problem Identification and Resolution with an operating experience component (P.2(b)). Specifically, the licensee did not implement and institutionalize, in a timely manner, IN 2006-26 in station procedures and training programs associated with magnesium rotor inspections.
- Green.
A self-revealing finding was identified for the failure to follow procedure HUM-NGGC-0001, Human Performance Program, which required workers to perform self and peer checks to ensure the correct action is performed on the correct component.
Specifically, during meter calibration activities, workers performing voltage checks failed to perform adequate self and peer checks when connecting test equipment. As a result, incorrect test equipment was connected resulting in blown fuses, the loss of several secondary plant pumps, and ultimately a manual plant trip. Corrective actions include:
move relay work identified in the extent of condition review from on-line to outage to prevent recurrence, revise maintenance procedures associated with calibration of meters and relays to incorporate human factoring from lessons learned from this event, and perform an analysis of and incorporate best practices in procedures regarding how plant risk is assessed for activities that could cause transients.
The finding was more than minor since it affected the human performance attribute of the Initiating Event Cornerstone and resulted in an event that upset plant stability.
Specifically, the failure to properly utilize human performance tools such as self and peer checking as specified in HUM-GGC-0001, Revision 2, resulted in the connection of incorrect test equipment, the loss of several secondary plant pumps and ultimately led to a manual reactor trip. The inspectors assessed the finding using the SDP and determined that the finding was of very low safety significance (Green) since it did not contribute to the likelihood of a loss of coolant accident, did not contribute to a loss of mitigation equipment, and did not increase the likelihood of a fire or internal/external flood. The cause of the finding is related to the cross-cutting area of Human Performance with a work practices aspect (H.4(a)). Specifically, workers did not utilize proper self and peer checking.
Licensee Identified Violations
None
REPORT DETAILS
Summary of Plant Status:
Crystal River 3 began the inspection period at 100 percent rated thermal power (RTP). On January 27, the unit was manually tripped after loss of two circulating water pumps, one condensate pump and one feedwater booster pump due the actuation of their undervoltage protection relays during maintenance. The unit was restarted on January 28. On January 29, reactor power was limited to approximately 57 percent RTP due to a damaged feedwater block valve. On February 2, the unit was shutdown in order to perform post-maintenance testing of the repaired feedwater block valve. On February 3, the unit was restarted and obtained 100 percent RTP on February 4. The unit operated at essentially 100 percent RTP for the remainder of the inspection period.

4OA2 Problem Identification and Resolution
.1 Daily Review
a. Inspection Scope
As required by Inspection Procedure 71152, Identification and Resolution of Problems, and in order to help identify equipment failures or specific human performance issues for follow-up, the inspectors performed a daily screening of items entered into the licensees CAP. This review was accomplished by attending daily plant status meetings, interviewing plant operators and applicable system engineers, and accessing the licensees computerized database.
b. Findings
No findings of significance were identified.
.2 Annual Sample Review
a. Inspection Scope
The inspectors selected NCR 307873 for a detailed review and discussion with the licensee. The NCR was written to address an EGDG-1B low lube oil temperature condition that resulted in the EGDG being declared inoperable. The inspectors verified the issue had been completely and accurately identified in the licensees CAP, and that safety concerns were properly classified and prioritized for resolution, the apparent cause determination were sufficiently thorough, and appropriate corrective actions were implemented in a manner consistent with safety and compliance with plant technical specifications and 10 CFR 50. The inspectors also evaluated the NCR using the requirements of licensee corrective action procedure CAP-NGGC-200, Corrective Action Program.
b. Findings and Observations
The inspectors determined that the investigation was not thorough. The licensee had determined that fire watches stationed in the EGDG room blocked open the door between the warm EGDG room and its cold radiator room causing both EGDG room and lube oil temperature to lower. This apparent cause was based on not finding any equipment problems and on an NRC inspector observation of finding the door blocked open two days after the event. No other corroborating evidence supported this conclusion. The inspectors questioned the licensee on why fire watches stationed in the EGDG room at the time of the event were not interviewed. As a result of this questioning, the licensee conducted interviews with the fire watches and determined that the door was routinely left open to support fire service maintenance and for the comfort of the fire watches. The additional supportive information was added to the investigation report. Also, as a result of the inspectors questions, the licensee added a corrective action enhancement to change administrative instruction AI-513, Seasonal Weather Preparations, to check closed EGDG doors as part of the cold weather checklist. A finding associated with the cause of the inoperable emergency diesel generator is documented below.
Introduction:
A Green self-revealing finding was identified for failing to have adequate controls in place to ensure the temperature of the emergency diesel room was maintained to support EGDG operability. As a result, during cold weather conditions, an open door caused a low EGDG-1B lube oil temperature and inoperability of the EGDG.
Description:
On November 22, 2008, the control room operators received the EGDG-1B low lube oil temperature announciator indicating a lube oil temperature of less than 115 degrees Fahrenheit (F). At the EGDG, the operators found the standby lube oil circulating pump secured and a lube oil temperature of 114 degrees F. A low temperature interlock turned the pump off as-designed for this low lube oil temperature condition. The operators, utilizing the EGDG operating procedure, bypassed this low temperature interlock and started the pump in manual to begin warming up the lube oil.
As a result of mixing, lube oil temperature lowered to less than the minimum required temperature of 110 degrees F. The EGDG fuel racks were tripped and the EGDG was declared inoperable. During troubleshooting, the lube oil keep warm system was checked and verified to be operating properly. The standby lube oil pump and heaters were placed in service. Approximately 13 hours1.50463e-4 days <br />0.00361 hours <br />2.149471e-5 weeks <br />4.9465e-6 months <br /> later, the fuel rack was reset and the EGDG was available for use. The EGDG lube oil system was monitored for proper operation for an additional 13 hours1.50463e-4 days <br />0.00361 hours <br />2.149471e-5 weeks <br />4.9465e-6 months <br /> before the EGDG was declared operable. Since troubleshooting was unable to determine the cause of the low lube oil temperature condition, the licensee, on November 26, implemented a temporary modification to raise the lube oil set point 10 degrees F to add additional margin.
The licensees investigation later determined that the cause of the low lube oil temperature condition was due to cold outside air (less than 40 degrees F) entering the diesel engine room from the radiator room through a propped open door. The lube oil keep warm system was not designed to maintain acceptable temperatures under these conditions. The licensee found that the door was open for periods of time to support fire piping modification in the diesel engine room and also was opened for the personal comfort of the continuous fire watches stationed in the diesel engine room.
Analysis:
The performance deficiency associated with this finding was the failure to have adequate controls in place to ensure the temperature of the emergency diesel room was maintained to support EGDG operability. The finding was more than minor since it affected the equipment availability attribute of the Mitigating System Cornerstone and resulted in an unavailable emergency diesel generator train for approximately 13 hours1.50463e-4 days <br />0.00361 hours <br />2.149471e-5 weeks <br />4.9465e-6 months <br />. Using NRC Inspection Manual Chapter (IMC) 0609.04, Significance Determination Process (SDP), Phase I worksheet, the finding was determined to be of very low safety significance (Green) since it was not a design or qualification deficiency, did not result in a loss of a system safety function, did not result in an actual loss of safety function of a single train for greater than allowed by technical specifications, did not represent an actual loss of safety function of risk-significant non-technical specification equipment, and did not screen as risk significant due to external events.
The inspectors found that the cause of this finding was not reflective of current performance since the EGDG door lacked the proper signage since initial plant operation. Therefore, a cross-cutting aspect was not assigned. Corrective actions include: posting signs on all external doors of both safety and non-safety EGDGs rooms indicating that the doors should not be left open, discussing the event with site personnel; and initiation of changes to the sites cold weather checklist to check closed EGDG room doors during cold weather conditions.
Enforcement:
The failure to have adequate controls in place to ensure the temperature of the emergency diesel room was maintained to support EGDG operability was not an activity affecting quality subject to 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, nor a procedure required by licensee conditions or Improved Technical Specifications. Therefore, while a performance deficiency existed, no violation of regulatory requirements occurred. This finding was determined to be of very low safety significance (Green) and was entered into the corrective action program as Nuclear Condition Report 307873. This finding is identified as FIN 05000302/2009002-01, Failure to Have Adequate Controls in Place to ensure the Temperature of the Emergency Diesel Room was Maintained to Support EGDG Operability.

due to Main Feedwater System Oscillations Caused by an Inconsistent Procedure (Closed) LER 05000302/2008-003-00-01: Manual Reactor Trip due to Main Feedwater System Oscillations Caused by an Inadequate Design The LER documented that a manual reactor trip was initiated due unstable feedwater flow oscillations. The inspectors reviewed the LER and NCR 293080 documenting the event. The inspectors checked the accuracy and completeness of the LER and the appropriateness of the licensees corrective actions. No findings of significance or violations of NRC requirements were identified.
.3 (Closed) LER 05000302/2008-004-00: Motor-Operated Main Feedwater Isolation Valve
Inoperable due to Motor Rotor Oxidation/Corrosion
a. Inspection Scope
The inspectors reviewed the root cause evaluation associated with LER 05000302/2008-004-00 to determine whether a performance deficiency was involved, corrective actions were adequate, and the safety significance.
b. Findings
Introduction.
The inspectors identified a finding of very low safety significance (Green)involving a non-cited violation (NCV) of 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion XVI, Corrective Actions, for failure to take timely and effective corrective actions to prevent a second failure of a main feedwater isolation valve (MFIV) due to corrosion of the valve actuators magnesium rotor. Specifically, corrective actions associated with a similar failure of a MFIV in 2005 were not enhanced when additional information became available through NRC Information Notice (IN) 2006-026, Failure of Magnesium Rotors in Motor-Operator Valve Actuators. As a result, in December 2008, a MFIV failed to operate due to magnesium rotor degradation. The valve was found to be inoperable for a period of time longer than allowed by Improved Technical Specifications (ITS).
Description.
On December 5, 2008, during a planned reduction of reactor power, MFIV FWV-30 failed to automatically close when it received a closed signal. The valve was declared inoperable and ITS 3.7.3, condition A was entered. Condition A required the affected flow path to be isolated within 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br />. This condition was satisfied after the motor-operated valve (MOV) was manually closed.
The licensee determined the root cause of the FWV-30 failure to be oxidation and corrosion of the magnesium rotor in the MOVs actuator. Based on the amount of degradation of the magnesium rotor, the licensee determined that FWV-30 became inoperable sometime between its last successful operation on August 29, 2008 and when it failed to close on December 5, 2008. The licensee determined that it was likely that the valve was inoperable for greater than the 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br /> allowed by ITS.
Crystal River Unit 3 experienced an identical failure in October 2005 when MFIV FWV-29 failed to automatically close (reference LER 05000302/2005-004-00 and NRC inspection report IR 05000302/2006-002). Since non-magnesium rotors were not available for FWV-29 and FWV-30, corrective actions to inspect/monitor the magnesium rotors were implemented. The intent of the inspection program was to replace motors that exhibited early signs of magnesium rotor corrosion prior to any failures.
On November 20, 2006, NRC Information Notice (IN) 2006-26, Failure of Magnesium Rotors in Motor-Operated Valve Actuators, was issued. IN 2006-026 details several examples of magnesium rotor failures in the industry including the Crystal River Unit 3 FWV-29 failure. The IN identified the need to have an adequate magnesium rotor inspection/preventative maintenance program in place. The licensee entered IN 2006-26 into their operating experience program as action request (AR) 214943. Licensee review of IN 2006-26 identified the need for additional training for inspectors, enhanced inspection criteria, and the use of high quality bore scope equipment to ensure that inspections will identify magnesium rotor degradation. These actions were not implemented in time for the FWV-30 inspection during the fall 2007 refueling outage. As a result, there was a missed opportunity to identify magnesium rotor degradation during the inspection.
Analysis.
The inspectors determined that the failure to implement corrective actions associated with operating experience item AR 21493 (IN 2006-026) in time for the fall 2007 FWV-30 inspection was a performance deficiency that resulted in a repeat failure of a MFIV due to magnesium rotor corrosion. The inspectors determined the finding was more than minor because it affected the equipment availability attribute of the Mitigating System Cornerstone and resulted in a MFIV being inoperable for a period of time greater than allowed by ITS. Since the valve would not have performed its safety function for greater than the ITS allowed outage time, a Significance Determination Process (SDP)
Phase 2 analysis was required. Based upon the Phase 2 results, a regional Senior Reactor Analyst performed a Phase 3 evaluation. The NRCs most current Standardized Plant Analysis Risk Model for Crystal River Unit 3 was used in the evaluation with the basic events for failing to isolate a faulted Steam Generator set to always fail. Since an additional check valve, not in the computer model, must fail to cause the loss of this function, a hand calculation was used to include its failure in the applicable accident sequences. The dominant accident sequence involved a steam generator tube rupture, failure to isolate the rupture generator and failure of the decay heat removal system through various human and equipment failures. Limiting the significance of the performance deficiency was that another valve, other than FWV-30, had to fail before a ruptured Steam Generator could not be isolated. An exposure time of 49 days was used in the evaluation. The Phase 3 evaluation concluded that the finding was of very low safety significance (Green). A contributing cause of the finding is related to the cross-cutting area of Problem Identification and Resolution with an operating experience component (P.2(b)). Specifically, the licensee did not implement and institutionalize, in a timely manner, IN 2006-26 in station procedures and training programs associated with magnesium rotor inspections. Corrective actions for the failure of FWV-30 include:
installing a new motor; develop and implement engineering changes to replace the stations MOV magnesium rotor motors with aluminum rotor motors (when available);ensure the engineering staff is trained on effective correction action plans; and revise MOV maintenance procedures to include those actions of operating experience item AR 214943214943prior to the next MOV inspections.
Enforcement.
10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion XVI, Corrective Action, requires, in part, that in the case of significant conditions adverse to quality, the measures shall assure that the cause of the condition is determined and corrective actions taken to preclude repetition. Contrary to the above, corrective actions associated with IN 2006-26 (AR 214943214943 were not implemented in a timely manner to preclude a second failure of a MFIV due to magnesium rotor corrosion. Specifically, training and inspection requirements identified by the licensee in operating experience item AR 214943214943necessary to identify magnesium rotor degradation were not implemented in time for the inspection of FWV-30 in fall 2007. As a result, FWV-30 failed due to magnesium rotor degradation and was found inoperable on December 5, 2008. Because the finding is of very low significance and has been entered into the licensees CAP as NCR 309669, this violation is being treated as an NCV consistent with Section VI.A.1 of the NRC Enforcement Policy: NCV 05000302/2009002-02, Failure to Take Timely and Effective Corrective Actions Resulted in a Repeat Failure of a Main Feedwater Isolation Valve due to Magnesium Rotor Oxidation/Corrosion.
.4 (Closed) LER 05000302/2009-001-00: Manual Reactor Trip due to Loss of A 4160V
Unit Bus Loads Caused by Incorrectly Connected Test Leads
a. Inspection Scope
The inspectors reviewed the root cause evaluation associated with LER 05000302/2009-001-00 to determine whether a performance deficiency was involved, corrective actions were adequate and to determine the safety significance. The inspectors also reviewed the LER to verify its accuracy and completeness.
b. Findings
Introduction.
A Green self-revealing finding was identified for the failure to follow procedure HUM-NGGC-0001, Human Performance Program, which required workers to perform self checks and peer checks to ensure the correct action is performed on the correct component. Specifically, during meter calibration activities, workers performing voltage checks failed to perform adequate self and peer checks when connecting test equipment. As a result, incorrect test equipment was connected resulting in blown fuses, the loss of several secondary plant pumps, and ultimately a manual plant trip.
Description.
On January 27, 2009, the reactor was manually tripped when reactor coolant system (RCS) pressure was observed increasing towards the automatic trip set point. Emergency operating procedure, EOP-2, Vital System Status Verification, was entered and the unit was stabilized in Mode 3, Hot Standby.
The licensee investigation revealed that relay technicians performing voltage checks to support meter calibrations, incorrectly connected a Doble relay test set across the secondary side of the non-safety A Unit 4160V bus potential transformer (PT) resulting in a short circuit. The short circuit caused two fuses to blow on the secondary side of the bus PT and an indication of a loss of bus voltage. The bus undervoltage motor protection relays actuated causing loss of the bus loads including a feedwater booster pump. RCS pressure increased due to the reduction of feedwater flow.
The licensee determined there were two root causes associated with this event. The first root cause was the inadequate use of human performance tools as specified in HUM-NGGC-0001, Human Performance Program. Specifically, the relay technicians failed to properly utilize self and peer checking to ensure the leads from the multimeter and not the Doble relay test set were connected during voltage checks. In addition, the performance of the voltage check was outside of the work order guidance. The second root cause was determined to be inadequate closure of corrective actions for a similar 2004 event documented in NCR 133661. In 2004, a Doble test set was incorrectly used during voltage checks during similar meter calibrations resulting in one blown fuse and a loss of meter indication. One of the corrective actions for the 2004 event was to complete a risk assessment to determine whether this type of work should be completed with the unit shutdown. The licensee determined that the assessment was completed; however it should have resulted in moving relay work activities that could cause plant transients to an off-line or outage activity.
Analysis.
The inspectors determined that the failure to follow procedure HUM-NGGC-0001 was a performance deficiency and therefore a finding. This was selected as the performance deficiency since it was more reflective of current licensee performance than the inadequate closure of corrective actions in 2004. The finding was more than minor since it affected the human performance attribute of the Initiating Event Cornerstone and resulted in an event that upset plant stability. Specifically, the failure to properly utilize human performance tools such as self and peer checking as specified in HUM-GGC-0001, Attachment 5, Revision 2, resulted in the connection of incorrect test equipment, the loss of several secondary plant pumps and ultimately led to manual reactor trip.
Using NRC Inspection Manual Chapter (IMC) 0609.04, Significance Determination Process (SDP), Phase I worksheet, the finding was determined to be of very low safety significance (Green) since it did not contribute to the likelihood of a loss of coolant accident, did not contribute to a loss of mitigation equipment, and did not increase the likelihood of a fire or internal/external flood. The cause of the finding is related to the cross-cutting area of human performance with a work practices aspect (H.4(a)).
Specifically, workers did not utilize proper self and peer checking. Corrective actions for the plant trip event include: move relay work identified in the extent of condition review from on-line to outage to prevent recurrence, revise maintenance procedures associated with calibration of meters and relays to incorporate human factoring from lessons learned from this event, and perform an analysis of and incorporate best practices in procedures regarding how plant risk is assessed for activities that could cause transients.
Enforcement.
No violation of NRC regulatory requirements occurred. The inspectors determined that the finding did not represent a noncompliance because the performance deficiency involved non-safety related equipment. This finding was determined to be of very low safety significance (Green) and was entered into the corrective action program as NCR 316543. This finding is identified as FIN 05000302/2009002-03, Inadequate Peer and Peer Checking Resulted in Connecting Improper Test Equipment and a Manual Plant Trip.
