SUBJECT: PRAIRIE ISLAND NUCLEAR GENERATING PLANT, UNITS 1 AND 2-NRC INTEGRATED INSPECTION REPORT 05000282/2017001 and 05000306/2017001

Dear Mr. Northard:

On March 31, 2017, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed an inspection at your Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plant, Units 1 and 2. On April 6, 2017, the NRC inspectors discussed the results of this inspection with you and other members of your staff. The enclosed report represents the results of this inspection. Based on the results of this inspection, the NRC has identified one issue that was evaluated under the risk significance determination process as having very low safety significance (Green). The NRC has also determined that a violation was associated with this issue.

Because the licensee initiated condition reports to address this issue, this violation is being treated as a Non-Cited Violation (NCV), consistent with Section 2.3.2 of the Enforcement Policy. The NCV is described in the subject inspection report. Further, the inspectors documented a licensee-identified violation that was determined to be of very low safety significance in this report. The NRC is treating this violation as a NCV consistent with Section 2.3.2.a of the Enforcement Policy. If you contest the violations or significance of these NCVs, 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, DC 20555-0001, with copies to the Regional Administrator, Region III; the Director, Office of Enforcement; and the NRC Resident Inspector at the Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plant. This letter, its enclosure, and your response, (if any), will be made available for public inspection and copying at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html and at the NRC Public Document Room in accordance with 10 CFR 2.390, "Public Inspections, Exemptions, Requests for Withholding."

Sincerely,/RA Karla Stoedter Acting for/

SUMMARY

Inspection Report 05000282/2017001, 05000306/2017001; January 1, 2017, through March 31, 2017; Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plant, Units 1 and 2. Other Activities.

This report covers a 3-month period of inspection by resident inspectors and announced baseline inspections by regional inspectors. One Green finding was identified by the inspectors. The finding involved a Non-Cited Violation (NCV) of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) requirements. The significance of inspection findings is 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," dated April 29, 2015. 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 NRC's Enforcement Policy, dated November 1, 2016. The NRC's program for overseeing the safe operation of commercial nuclear power reactors is described in NUREG-1649, "Reactor Oversight Process," dated July 2016.

NRC-Identified and Self-Revealed Findings

Cornerstone: Mitigating Systems Severity Level IV/

Green.

The inspectors identified a Green finding and associated Severity Level IV Violation of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) 50.59(d)(1), for the licensee's failure to perform a written evaluation which provided the bases for the determination that a change in the NRC-approved Westinghouse methodology referenced in the Updated Safety Analysis Report (USAR) for evaluating the acceptability of reactor pressure vessel internals baffle former bolting distributions did not require a license amendment. This finding was entered into the licensee's Correction Action Program (CAP) as CAP documents 1539487, "Documentation Missing in 50.59 Screening 4443," dated October 26, 2016; 1552331, "BFB Screen Referenced Eval for SER Limitation 4 Non-Existent," dated March 6, 2017; and 1552314, "BFB Screening Lacks Documentation for SER Limitation 3," dated March 6, 2017. The licensee performed an operability determination and determined the baffle bolts were operable. The inspectors reviewed the operability determination and no performance deficiencies were identified in this determination. The inspectors determined that the licensee's failure to perform a written evaluation, providing the bases for the determination that a change in the NRC-approved Westinghouse methodology for evaluating the acceptability of baffle former bolting distributions did not require a license amendment, was a performance deficiency. This finding was also evaluated using traditional enforcement because it had the potential for impacting the NRC's ability to perform its regulatory function. The performance deficiency was determined to be more-than-minor because it was associated with the Mitigating Systems cornerstone attribute of design control and affected the cornerstone objective to ensure the availability, reliability, and capability of systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences (i.e., core damage). Specifically, compliance with the NRC-approved methodology of WCAP-15029-P-A ensured the baffle former assembly maintained its structural integrity, avoiding a failure or excessive deflection of the baffle plates, and hence the primary concern of ensuring the emergency core cooling system could continue to perform its design function of cooling the reactor core. The inspectors determined the finding could be evaluated using the Significance 3 Determination Process (SDP) in accordance with Inspection Manual Chapter 0609, Appendix A, "The Significance Determination Process for Findings At-Power," dated June 19, 2012, Exhibit 2, "Mitigating Systems Screening Questions," for the Mitigating Systems cornerstone. The finding screened as having very-low safety significance (Green) because the emergency core cooling system maintained its operability, specifically with respect to performing its safety function of ensuring adequate core cooling. As such, the finding corresponded to a Severity Level IV Violation in accordance with Example 6.1.d.2 of the NRC Enforcement Policy. The inspectors did not identify a cross cutting aspect because the performance deficiency was from 2013, and hence the issue did not represent current performance. (Section 4OA5.2(1)) Licensee-Identified Violations Violations of very low safety or security significance or Severity Level IV 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 licensee's CAP. The inspectors documented one licensee-identified violation for which enforcement discretion was granted. This violation and CAP tracking number is listed in Section 4OA7 of this report.

Cornerstones: Initiating Events, Mitigating Systems, Barrier Integrity and Emergency Preparedness

1R01 Adverse Weather Protection

.1 Readiness for Impending Adverse Weather Condition-High Wind Conditions

a. Inspection Scope

Since high winds were forecast in the vicinity of the facility for February 14-17, 2017, the inspectors reviewed the licensee's overall preparations/protection for the expected weather conditions. On February 14, 2017, the inspectors walked down the offsite power sources in the substation, in addition to the licensee's emergency alternating current (AC) power systems, because their safety-related functions could be affected or required as a result of high winds or tornado-generated missiles or the loss of offsite power. The inspectors evaluated the licensee staff's preparations against the site's procedures and determined that the staff's actions were adequate. During the inspection, the inspectors focused on plant-specific design features and the licensee's procedures used to respond to specified adverse weather conditions. The inspectors also toured the plant grounds to look for any loose debris that could become missiles during a tornado. The inspectors evaluated operator staffing and accessibility of controls and indications for those systems required to control the plant. Additionally, the inspectors reviewed the USAR and performance requirements for systems selected for inspection, and verified that operator actions were appropriate as specified by plant specific procedures. The inspectors also reviewed a sample of CAP items to verify that the licensee identified adverse weather issues at an appropriate threshold and dispositioned them through the CAP in accordance with station corrective action procedures. Documents reviewed are listed in the Attachment to this report. This inspection constituted one readiness for impending adverse weather condition sample as defined in IP 71111.01-05.

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors performed partial system walkdowns of the following risk-significant systems:

  • Bus 15 and 111 safeguards electrical systems;
  • 21 125V safeguards battery. The inspectors selected these systems based on their risk significance relative to the Reactor Safety Cornerstones at the time they were inspected. The inspectors attempted to identify any discrepancies that could impact the function of the system and, therefore, potentially increase risk. The inspectors reviewed applicable operating procedures, system diagrams, USAR, Technical Specification (TS) requirements, outstanding work orders (WOs), condition reports, and the impact of ongoing work activities on redundant trains of equipment in order to identify conditions that could have rendered the systems incapable of performing their intended functions. The inspectors also walked down accessible portions of the systems to verify system components and support equipment were aligned correctly and operable. The inspectors examined the material condition of the components and observed operating parameters of equipment to verify that there were no obvious deficiencies. The inspectors also verified that the licensee had properly identified and resolved equipment alignment problems that could cause initiating events or impact the capability of mitigating systems or barriers and entered them into the CAP with the appropriate significance characterization. Documents reviewed are listed in the Attachment to this report. These inspections constituted four partial system walkdown samples as defined in IP 71111.04-05.

b. Findings

No findings were identified.

.2 Semiannual Complete System Walkdown

a. Inspection Scope

During the week of January 4, 2017, the inspectors performed a complete system alignment inspection of the Unit 1 and 2 control room safeguards chilled water systems to verify the functional capability of the system. This system was selected because it was considered both safety significant and risk significant in the licensee's probabilistic risk assessment. The inspectors walked down the system to review mechanical and electrical equipment lineups; electrical power availability; system pressure and 6 temperature indications, as appropriate; component labeling; component lubrication; component and equipment cooling; hangers and supports; operability of support systems; and to ensure that ancillary equipment or debris did not interfere with equipment operation. A review of a sample of past and outstanding WOs was performed to determine whether any deficiencies significantly affected the system function. In addition, the inspectors reviewed the CAP database to ensure that system equipment alignment problems were being identified and appropriately resolved. Documents reviewed are listed in the Attachment to this report. This inspection constituted one complete system walkdown sample as defined in IP 71111.04-05.

.1 (Closed) Licensee Event Report 5000282/2016004-00:

Missing Fire Barriers Between Fire Area 59 and 85 / Fire Hazard Analysis Drawings Do Not Match Boundary Description

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors reviewed information provided by the licensee regarding the April 21, 2016, identification of fire barriers with unsealed combustible pathway penetrations between fire area (FA) 59 (Auxiliary Building Mezzanine Level Unit 1) and FA 85 (Holdup Tank Area/Demineralizer Area); and fire barrier penetration seals with non-fire rated materials between FA 68 (Unit 1 Annulus) and FA 60 (Auxiliary Building Operating Level Unit 1), FA 68 and 61A (Auxiliary Building Hatch Area), FA 72 (Unit 2 Annulus) and FA 75 (Auxiliary Building Operating Level Unit 2), and FA 72 and 61A. Specifically, during walk downs to support a National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 805 transition project, the licensee identified the above unanalyzed conditions (potential loss of train separation for safe shutdown equipment during a postulated fire in the area(s)) that were not in accordance with the license bases. Upon discovery of the conditions, the licensee documented the issues in CAP 1519659, implemented 22 compensatory measures (hourly fire watches), performed an extent of condition review, and performed an apparent cause evaluation. The inspectors reviewed the License Event Report (LER), apparent cause evaluation, fire protection program documents, immediate corrective actions, and longer term corrective actions. The inspectors also reviewed a Fire Protection Engineering Evaluation performed in April 2017, which determined that only postulated fires propagating from FA 85 to adjacent FAs 59 or 74 (Auxiliary Building Mezzanine Level Unit 2) could have prevented safe shutdown of Prairie Island Units 1 and 2 respectively. Documents reviewed are listed in the Attachment to this report. This LER is closed. This review constituted one event follow-up sample as defined in IP 71153-05.

b. Findings

One finding and Non-Cited Violation (NCV) for which the NRC exercised enforcement discretion was identified during the review of this LER. The inspectors determined that the finding and NCV associated with the unanalyzed condition was best characterized as a licensee-identified finding and violation. As a result, the inspectors documented information regarding this issue in Section

4OA7 of this inspection report.

.2 (Closed) Licensed Event Report 5000282/2016006-00:

121 Motor Driven Cooling Water Pump Auto Start

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors reviewed information provided by the licensee regarding the December 18, 2016, automatic start of the 121 Motor Driven Cooling Water Pump (MDCLP). Following an unexpected lockout of the Bus 2 in the substation with the 11 cooling water pump in service, the 11 cooling water pump tripped on loss of power and resulted in a low cooling water header pressure. The 121 MDCLP automatically started, as designed. Since low pressure actually existed in the cooling water header (valid actuation signal) the licensee submitted an LER for this event/condition based on 10 CFR 50.73(a)(2)(iv)(A), as an event or condition that resulted in automatic actuation of an emergency service water system that does not normally run and serves as an ultimate heat sink. The inspectors reviewed licensee CAP 1545369 which was generated as a result of the automatic actuation of the 121 MDCLP, the causal evaluation, and corrective actions.

No issues were identified. Documents reviewed are listed in the Attachment to this report. This LER is closed. This inspection constituted one event follow-up sample as defined in IP 71153-05.

4OA5 Other Activities

.1 (Closed) NRC Temporary Instruction 2515/192, "Inspection of the Licensee's Interim Compensatory Measures Associated with the Open Phase Condition Design Vulnerabilities in Electric Power Systems"

a. Inspection Scope

The objective of this performance based Temporary Instruction (TI) is to verify implementation of interim compensatory measures associated with an Open Phase Condition (OPC) design vulnerability in electric power system for operating reactors. The inspectors conducted an inspection to determine if the licensee had implemented the following interim compensatory measures. These compensatory measures are to remain in place until permanent automatic detection and protection schemes are installed and declared operable for OPC design vulnerability. The inspectors verified the following: The licensee had identified and discussed with plant staff the lessons-learned from the OPC events at the US operating plants including the Byron station OPC event and its consequences. This includes conducting operator training for promptly diagnosing, recognizing consequences, and responding to an OPC event;

  • The licensee had updated plant operating procedures to help operators promptly diagnose and respond to OPC events on off-site power sources credited for safe shutdown of the plant;
  • The licensee had established and continue to implement periodic walkdown activities to inspect switchyard equipment such as insulators, disconnect switches, and transmission line and transformer connections associated with the offsite power circuits to detect a visible OPC; and
  • The licensee had ensured that routine maintenance and testing activities on switchyard components have been implemented and maintained. As part of the maintenance and testing activities, the licensee assessed and managed plant risk in accordance with 10 CFR 50.65(a) (4) requirements.

b. Findings

No findings of significance were identified.

.2 (Closed) Unresolved Item 05000282/2016004-01; 05000306/2016004-01:

Baffle Bolt Acceptance Criteria

a. Inspection Scope

During the 2016 In-service Inspection (ISI), the inspectors reviewed the analysis that demonstrated the design adequacy of the reactor pressure vessel internals baffle former bolting under design and licensing basis loading conditions. The inspectors identified an unresolved item involving using acceptance criteria for the analysis of the baffle former bolting different than what was reviewed and approved by the NRC. During the follow-up inspection activities to the unresolved item, the licensee identified that baffle bolts yield and ultimate strength used for the top level of the baffle assembly were not in accordance with the design and licensing basis requirements. The licensee initiated CAP document 1548138, "Non-Conservative Stress Limits in BFB Analysis,"

dated January 20, 2017, to address the concern. The licensee performed Prompt 24 Operability Determination (POD) 1548138-01; dated January 27, 2017, to address the nonconforming condition. The inspectors reviewed the operability determination and no performance deficiencies were identified with respect to that evaluation. The inspectors did not address this licensee identified issue from an enforcement standpoint, because it was identified pursuant and incident to follow-up of NRC concerns resulting in the NRC finding below and would just be another example of that same finding. Subsequently, the inspectors reviewed additional information provided by the licensee and identified the finding described below.

b. Findings

(1) Failure to Evaluate Changes to NRC-Approved Methodology

Introduction:

The inspectors identified a Green finding and associated Severity Level IV violation of 10 CFR 50.59(d)(1) for the licensee's failure to perform a written evaluation which provided the bases for the determination that a change in the NRC-approved Westinghouse methodology referenced in the Updated Safety Analysis Report (USAR)for evaluating the acceptability of reactor pressure vessel internals baffle former bolting distributions did not require a license amendment.

Description:

The Prairie Island USAR, Section 3.6, describes the reactor vessel internals and states, in part, "The components of the reactor internals are divided into three parts consisting of the lower core support structure (including the entire core barrel and thermal shield), the upper core support structure and the incore instrumentation support structure- The major containment and support member of the reactor internals is the lower core support structure. This support structure assembly consists of the core barrel, the core baffle, the lower core plate and support columns, the thermal shield, the intermediate diffuser plate, and the bottom support plate which is welded to the core barrel- Within the core barrel are axial baffle and former plates which are attached to the core barrel wall and form the enclosure periphery of the assembled core." The axial baffle and former plates which comprise the baffle former assembly are connected with baffle former bolts. The baffle former bolts hold together the baffle former assembly to maintain the fuel assembly structural integrity to ensure that the control rods insert, maintain a coolable core geometry, and ensure a core configuration that supports long-term reactor shutdown. The coolable geometry must be maintained throughout the postulated accident, including for long term core cooling. Section 3.8 of the USAR incorporated by reference WCAP-15029-P-A, Revision 1, "Westinghouse Methodology for Evaluating the Acceptability of Baffle-Former-Barrel Bolting Distributions Under Faulted Load Conditions," January 1999. This WCAP described the Westinghouse methodology for evaluating the acceptability of baffle-former barrel bolting distributions under faulted conditions. This WCAP methodology had been accepted by the NRC via a Safety Evaluation Report (SER)included in WCAP-15029-P-A. The SER stated that the use of the WCAP-15029 methodology guidance is acceptable in accordance with the following limitations:

  • The bolt loading should be determined by analysis for a class of plants and a specific break;
  • The noding to be used in the representation of the loading is demonstrated to be adequate by performing nodalization sensitivity studies or by some other acceptable methodology; 25
  • The methodology should not be used to assess existing bolting without demonstration of adequate conservatism in projected bolting material properties (i.e., yield and ultimate strength) to ensure that sufficient ductility is present in existing irradiated stainless steel bolting materials; and
  • The use of the methodology for existing irradiated stainless steel bolting should account for limitation in available ISI methods with regard to the probability of detection characteristics. The discussion section in the SER portion of WCAP-15029-P-A provided the NRC staff basis for the establishment of Limitations Nos. 3 and 4 which stated, in part, "The lSI methods used for inspecting the baffle bolts will have certain sensitivity and probability of detection characteristics. In using irradiated tensile strength for calculating safety margins, the bolt load-bearing cross-section area should be reduced based upon the sensitivity of the lSI methods and the potential for degraded bolts to escape detection by lSI. In addition, since the available data for irradiated stainless steel indicates that the ductility (and presumably the fracture toughness) of irradiated bolts is severely degraded, a fracture mechanics approach would be necessary to demonstrate that the degraded bolts exhibit adequate toughness with a postulated flaw size undetected by lSI- The determination of adequate conservatism of bolting material properties and characteristics, resides with the licensee in applying appropriate stress and deflection limits to the baffle assembly under faulted conditions. This determination should include consideration of the subject plant's historical operating conditions and current licensing bases. The determination should be based on conservative yield strength and ultimate strength values representative of the plant's existing bolting material properties." The inspectors identified that, as a result of degraded baffle former bolting that the licensee planned to leave in place, the licensee evaluated the baffle former bolting, and in so doing, used acceptance limits different than what was reviewed and approved by the NRC. The inspectors reviewed WCAP 17586-P, "Determination of Acceptable Baffle-Barrel Bolting for Prairie Island Units 1 and 2," Revision 0, which provides analyses of baffle former bolting failure patterns in accordance with USAR methodology of WCAP-15029-P-A. The stress allowable used in WCAP 17586-P was based on American Society for Mechanical EngineersSection III, Appendix F, specifically minimum of (0.9 times Su (ultimate strength of the baffle bolt material), maximum of (0.67 times Su, Sy + 1/3 (Su - Sy))). The WCAP-15030-NP-A was the non-proprietary version of WCAP-15029-P-A. In WCAP-15030-NP-A, Section 4.3.2 stated that the stress allowable for primary membrane and bending of irradiated bolt material is taken to 0.9 times Sy (yield strength of the baffle bolt material) for the faulted load condition. The use of the stress allowable in WCAP 17586-P in lieu of NRC approved stress allowable in WCAP-15030-NP-A, Section 4.3, was a change from what was incorporated in the USAR by reference to the WCAP. The inspectors reviewed the licensee's 50.59 Screening No. 4443, "Determination of Acceptable Baffle-Barrel Bolting," dated January 24, 2013, and determined that the change to use ASME Section III, Appendix F, acceptance criteria was not explicitly addressed. Further, Limitations Nos. 3 and 4 in the SER portion of WCAP-15029-P-A, specifically with respect to Prairie Island's site specific parameters including historical operating conditions and material data, were also not explicitly addressed in the screening or WCAP 17586-P, Revision 0. In particular, the licensee did not evaluate whether sufficient ductility was present in existing site specific baffle bolting material properties. The screening also left Limitation No. 4, in particular, whether ISI methods 26 established adequate safety margin based on the probability of detection of indications, to be addressed as part of an inspection specific engineering evaluation. The inspector was unable to identify the existence of such an evaluation. Hence, the licensee failed to perform a written evaluation in accordance with 10 CFR 50.59 (d)(1) that addressed whether the above change in the evaluation methodology required a license amendment. The licensee performed an operability determination as discussed above, POD 1548138-01 and determined the baffle bolts were operable. The inspectors reviewed the operability determination and no performance deficiencies were identified in this determination. In response to the inspector's concern, the licensee initiated CAP documents 01539487, "Documentation Missing in 50.59 Screening 4443," dated October 26, 2016, 1552331, "BFB Screen Referenced Eval for SER Limitation 4 Non-Existent," dated March 6, 2017, and 1552314, "BFB Screening Lacks Documentation for SER Limitation 3," dated March 6, 2017.
Analysis:

The inspectors determined that the licensee's failure to perform a written evaluation, providing the bases for the determination that a change in the NRC-approved Westinghouse methodology for evaluating the acceptability of baffle former bolting distributions did not require a license amendment, was a performance deficiency. Because violations of 10 CFR 50.59 are considered to be violations that potentially impede or impact the regulatory process, they are dispositioned using the traditional enforcement process instead of the Significant Determination Process (SDP). However, if possible, the underlying technical issue is evaluated under the SDP to determine the severity of the violation. The performance deficiency was determined to be more-than-minor because it was associated with the Mitigating Systems cornerstone attribute of design control and affected the cornerstone objective to ensure the availability, reliability, and capability of systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences (i.e., core damage). Specifically, compliance with the NRC-approved methodology of WCAP-15029-P-A ensured the baffle former assembly maintains its structural integrity, avoiding a failure or excessive deflection of the baffle plates, and hence the primary concern of ensuring the emergency core cooling system can continue to perform its design function of cooling the reactor core. The inspectors determined the finding could be evaluated using the SDP in accordance with Inspection Manual Chapter 0609, Appendix A, "The Significance Determination Process for Findings At-Power," dated June 19, 2012, Exhibit 2, "Mitigating Systems Screening Questions," for the Mitigating Systems cornerstone. The finding screened as having very-low safety significance (Green) because the emergency core cooling system maintained its operability, specifically with respect to performing its safety function of ensuring adequate core cooling. As such, the finding corresponded to a Severity Level IV violation in accordance with Example 6.1.d.2 of the NRC Enforcement Policy.

The inspectors did not identify a cross cutting aspect because the performance deficiency was from 2013, and hence the issue did not represent current performance.

Enforcement:

Title 10 CFR 50.59, "Changes, Tests and Experiments," Paragraph d(1) states, the licensee shall maintain records of changes in the facility, made pursuant to paragraph (c) of this section. These records must include a written evaluation which provides the bases for the determination that the change does not require a license 27 amendment pursuant to Paragraph (c)(2) of this section. Paragraph (c)(1) states, a license may make changes in the facility as described in the final safety analysis report (as updated) without obtaining a licensee amendment only if a change to technical specifications (TS) is not required or the change does not meet any of the criteria in (c)(2). The USAR, Section 3.8, incorporates by reference WCAP-15029-P-A, Revision 1.

This WCAP described the NRC-approved Westinghouse methodology for evaluating the acceptability of baffle-former barrel bolting distributions. Contrary to the above, on December 24, 2013, the licensee changed the facility as described in USAR Section 3.8, specifically with respect to the methodology it employed to evaluate the acceptability of baffle former bolting distribution, and did not include a written evaluation which provided the bases for determining the change did not require a license amendment. In particular, the licensee did not address a change in acceptance criteria or in limitations described in WCAP-15029-P-A. Because this finding is of very-low safety significance and was entered into the CAP as 1539487, "Documentation Missing in 50.59 Screening 4443," dated October 26, 2016, 1552331, "BFB Screen Referenced Eval for SER Limitation 4 Non-Existent," dated March 6, 2017, and 1552314, "BFB Screening Lacks Documentation for SER Limitation 3," dated March 6, 2017, this violation is being treated as a Non-Cited Violation in accordance with Section 2.3.2 of the Enforcement Policy.

4OA6 Management Meetings

.1 Exit Meeting Summary On April 6, 2017, the inspectors presented the overall inspection results to

Mr. S. Northard, Site Vice President, and other members of the licensee staff.

The licensee acknowledged the issues presented. The inspectors confirmed that none of the potential report input discussed was considered proprietary.

===.2 Interim Exit Meetings Interim exits were conducted for:

  • On March 3, 2017, the inspectors presented the inspection results of the Radioactive Solid Waste Processing and Radioactive Material Handling, Storage, and Transportation inspections to Mr. S. Northard, Site Vice President.===

The licensee acknowledged the issues presented. The inspectors confirmed that none of the potential report input discussed was considered proprietary.

  • On March 6, 2017, the inspector presented the results to the Site Vice President, Mr. S. Northard, and other members of the licensee's staff. The licensee personnel acknowledged the inspection results presented.

4OA7 Licensee-Identified Violations The following violation was identified by the licensee.

The NRC is not taking enforcement action for these violations because they met the criteria of the NRC 28 Enforcement Policy, "Interim Enforcement Policy Regarding Enforcement Discretion for Certain Fire Protection Issues (10 CFR 50.48)," as described below:

  • Title 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix R, Section III.G.2 requires, in part, that "where cables or equipment of redundant trains of systems necessary to achieve and maintain hot shutdown conditions are located within the same fire area outside of primary containment, one means of ensuring that one of the redundant trains is free of fire damage shall be provided."

Contrary to the above, up until April 21, 2016, the licensee failed to ensure that where cables or equipment of redundant trains of systems necessary to achieve and maintain hot shutdown conditions were located within the same fire area outside of primary containment, one means of ensuring that one of the redundant trains is free of fire damage was provided. Specifically, the requirement was to provide "separation of cables and equipment and associated non-safety circuits of redundant trains by a fire barrier having a 3-hour rating." However, fire barriers with unsealed combustible pathway penetrations existed between FA 85 (Holdup Tank Area/Demineralizer Area) and adjacent FAs 59 (Auxiliary Building Mezzanine Level Unit 1) and FA 74 (Auxiliary Building Mezzanine Level Unit 2) for Units 1 and 2 respectively.

Section 9.1 of the NRC Enforcement Policy allows the NRC to exercise enforcement discretion for certain fire protection related non compliances identified as a result of a licensee's transition to the new risk informed, performance based fire protection approach included in 10 CFR 50.48(c), and for certain existing non compliances that reasonably may be resolved by compliance with 10 CFR 50.48(c) as long as certain criteria are met. This risk informed, performance based approach is referred to as NFPA 805, "Performance Based Standard for Fire Protection for Light Water Reactor Electric Generating Plants."

The licensee is in transition to NFPA 805, and therefore, the licensee-identified violation was evaluated in accordance with the criteria established by Section 9.1(a) of the NRC's Interim Enforcement Policy Regarding Enforcement Discretion for Certain Fire Protection Issues (10 CFR 50.48) for a licensee in NFPA 805 transition. The inspectors determined that for this violation:

(1) the licensee identified the violation during the scheduled transition to 10 CFR 50.48(c); (2) the licensee had established adequate compensatory measures within a reasonable time frame following identification and would correct the violation as a result of completing the NFPA 805 transition; (3) the violation was not likely to have been previously identified by routine licensee efforts; and (4) the violation was not willful. The finding also met additional criteria established in section 12.01.b of IMC 0305, "Operating Assessment Program." In addition, in order for the NRC to consider granting enforcement discretion the violation must not be associated with a finding of high safety significance (i.e., Red).

The licensee provided the Fire PRA Multi-Compartment Analysis Notebook (FPRA-PI-MCA) for review, and concluded that this issue was not associated with a finding of high safety significance. An NRC Region III Senior Reactor Analyst (SRA) reviewed the evaluation and discussed it with licensee staff.

The evaluation documents the results of fire modeling that concludes the fire 29 scenarios screen from further consideration because a damaging hot gas layer that could affect both compartments is not generated. The SRA concluded that the licensee's result was reasonable and that the finding was less than Red and eligible for Enforcement Discretion.

In addition, the licensee entered this issue into their CAP as 1519659. As a result, the inspectors concluded that the violation met all four criteria established by Section 9.1(a) of the NRC's Interim Enforcement Policy Regarding Enforcement Discretion for Certain Fire Protection Issues and that the NRC was exercising enforcement discretion to not cite this violation in accordance with the Interim Enforcement Policy Regarding Enforcement Discretion for Certain Fire Protection Issues.
