REGION I

2100 RENAISSANCE BLVD., SUITE 100 KING OF PRUSSIA, PA 19406-2713 July 27, 2015 Mr. George H. Gellrich, Site Vice President Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant, LLC Exelon Generation Company, LLC 1650 Calvert Cliffs Parkway Lusby, MD 20657-4702 SUBJECT: CALVERT CLIFFS NUCLEAR POWER PLANT - INTEGRATED INSPECTION REPORT 05000317/2015002 AND 05000318/2015002

Dear Mr. Gellrich:

On June 30, 2015, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed an inspection at your Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant (CCNPP), Units 1 and 2. The enclosed inspection report documents the inspection results, which were discussed on July 8, 2015, with you and other members of your staff.

The inspection examined activities conducted under your license as they relate to safety and compliance with the Commissions rules and regulations and with the conditions of your license.

The inspectors reviewed selected procedures and records, observed activities, and interviewed personnel.

This report documents two NRC-identified findings of very low safety significance (Green),

which were determined to involve violations of NRC requirements. However, because of the very low safety significance and because they are entered into your corrective action program, the NRC is treating these findings as non-cited violations (NCVs), consistent with Section 2.3.2.a of the NRC Enforcement Policy.

If you contest any NCVs in this report, you should provide a response within 30 days of the date of this inspection report, with the basis for your denial, to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, ATTN: Document Control Desk, Washington, DC 20555-0001; with copies to the Regional Administrator, Region I; the Director, Office of Enforcement, United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555-0001; and the NRC Resident Inspector at CCNPP. In addition, if you disagree with the cross-cutting aspect assigned to any finding, or a finding not associated with a regulatory requirement in this report, you should provide a response within 30 days of the date of this inspection report, with the basis for your disagreement, to the Regional Administrator, Region I, and the NRC Resident Inspector at CCNPP. In accordance with Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) 2.390 of the NRCs Rules of Practice, a copy of this letter, its enclosure, and your response (if any) will be available electronically for public inspection in the NRCs Public Document Room or from the Publicly Available Records component of the NRCs Agency-wide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS).

SUMMARY

Inspection Report 05000317/2015002, 05000318/2015002; 04/01/2015 - 06/30/2015; Calvert

Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant (CCNPP), Units 1 and 2; Radioactive Solid Waste Processing and Radioactive Material Handling, Storage, and Transportation, Problem Identification and Resolution.

This report covered a three-month period of inspection by resident inspectors and announced baseline inspections performed by regional inspectors. The inspectors identified two non-cited violations (NCVs), all of which were of very low safety significance (Green). The significance of most 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 U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) requirements are dispositioned in accordance with the NRCs Enforcement Policy, dated February 4, 2015. The NRCs program for overseeing the safe operation of commercial nuclear power reactors is described in NUREG-1649, Reactor Oversight Process, Revision 5.

Cornerstone: Mitigating Systems

Green.

The inspectors identified a Green NCV of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) 50, Appendix B, Criterion V, Instructions, Procedures, and Drawings, for failure to include appropriate quantitative acceptance criteria for determining the auxiliary contacts and mechanical interlocks were properly installed and adjusted when the Units 1 and 2 containment air coolers (CAC) starters and contactors were replaced during plant modifications. The starter and contactors with associated mechanical interlocks and auxiliary contacts provide the necessary electrical coordination to shift the CACs from fast to slow speed during a safety injection actuation signal (SIAS). The starter and contactor replacements occurred from July 2002 to July 2004. The inspectors determined that Exelons failure to include appropriate quantitative acceptance criteria for determining the auxiliary contacts and mechanical interlocks were properly installed and adjusted when the Units 1 and 2 CAC starters and contactors were replaced during plant modifications is a performance deficiency. Exelon entered this issue into their corrective action program (CAP) as IR02408755, completed an apparent cause evaluation (ACE), and completed corrective action work orders (WO) to adjust all associated starters and contactors auxiliary contacts.

The inspectors reviewed IMC 0612, Appendix B, Issue Screening, and determined the issue is more than minor because it is associated with the Mitigating Systems cornerstone attribute of design control and adversely affected the cornerstone objective to ensure the availability, reliability, and capability of systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences. The inspectors evaluated the finding using IMC 0609,

Attachment 4, Initial Characterization of Findings, issued on June 19, 2012, and IMC 0609,

Appendix A, The Significance Determination Process for Findings At Power, Exhibit 2,

Mitigating Systems Screenings Questions, issued on June 19, 2012, and determined a detailed risk evaluation was required for the actual loss of function of the 13 CAC for greater than its technical specification (TS) allowed outage time. A regional Senior Reactor Analyst performed a detailed risk evaluation using the Calvert Cliffs Standardized Plant Analysis Risk (SPAR) Model for Calvert Cliffs Unit 1, Version 8.27, for internal events and determined the finding to be of very low safety significance (Green). The inspectors determined that the finding did not have a cross-cutting aspect because the issue was not indicative of current licensee performance. (Section 4OA2.1)

Cornerstone: Public Radiation Safety and Occupational Radiation Safety

Green.

The inspectors identified a Green NCV of 10 CFR 71.5, Transportation of Licensed Material, and CFR 172, Subpart I, Safety and Security Plans. Specifically, Exelon personnel shipped a Category 2 radioactive material quantity of concern (RAM-QC) on public highways to a waste processor without adhering to a transportation security plan.

Prior to shipment, Exelons staff failed to recognize that the quantity of radioactive material met the definition RAM-QC. The inspectors determined that Exelons failure to ship material as a Category 2 RAM-QC was a performance deficiency. Exelon entered this issue into their CAP as IR02481678 and corrective actions included revising the shipping procedure to reflect the appropriate Department of Transportation requirements for shipment of Category 2 radioactive material. Additionally, Exelon implemented a formal process for reviewing pending regulatory changes for impacts to operations and support activities by the implementation of Exelon Procedure LS-AA-110, Commitment Management, Revision 10, in September 2014.

The inspectors reviewed IMC 0612, Appendix B, Issue Screening, and determined the issue is more than minor because it is associated with the program and process attribute of the Public Radiation Safety cornerstone and adversely affected the cornerstone objective to ensure adequate protection of public health and safety from exposure to radioactive materials released into the public domain as a result of routine civilian nuclear reactor operation. In accordance with IMC 0609, Appendix D, "Public Radiation Safety Significance Determination Process," issued on February 12, 2008, the inspectors determined the finding to be of very low safety significance (Green) because Exelon had an issue involving transportation of radioactive material, but it did not involve: (1) a radiation limit that was exceeded; (2) a breach of package during transport; (3) a certificate of compliance issue; (4)a low level burial ground nonconformance; or (5) a failure to make notifications or provide emergency information. The inspectors determined that the finding did not have a cross-cutting aspect because the issue was not indicative of current licensee performance because Exelon successfully implemented its transportation security plan in shipping three Category 2 RAM-QC packages in 2014. (Section 2RS8)

Accessible portions of liquid and solid radioactive waste processing systems to verify current system alignment and material condition Abandoned in place radioactive waste processing equipment to review the controls in place to ensure protection of personnel Changes made to the radioactive waste processing systems since the last inspection Processes for transferring radioactive waste resin and/or sludge discharges into shipping/disposal containers Current methods and procedures for dewatering waste Waste Characterization and Classification The inspectors identified radioactive waste streams and reviewed radiochemical sample analysis results to support radioactive waste characterization. The inspectors reviewed the use of scaling factors and calculations to account for difficult-to-measure radionuclides.

Shipment Preparation The inspectors reviewed the records of shipment packaging, surveying, labeling, marking, placarding, vehicle checks, emergency instructions, disposal manifest, shipping papers provided to the driver, and Exelon verification of shipment readiness.

Shipping Records The inspectors reviewed selected non-excepted package shipment records.

Identification and Resolution of Problems The inspectors assessed whether problems associated with radioactive waste processing, handling, storage, and transportation, were identified at an appropriate threshold and properly addressed in Exelons CAP.

b. Findings

Introduction.

The inspectors identified a Green NCV of 10 CFR 71.5, Transportation of Licensed Material, and 49 CFR 172, Subpart I, Safety and Security Plans.

Specifically, Exelon personnel shipped a Category 2 RAM-QC on public highways to a waste processor without adhering to a transportation security plan. Prior to shipment, Exelons staff failed to recognize that the quantity of radioactive material met the definition RAM-QC.

Description.

Exelons staff prepared a radioactive waste liner for shipment to a radioactive waste processor. The liner, containing spent resin, was determined to have a total activity of 132 curies including 9.63 curies of cobalt as indicated on the Uniform Low-Level Radioactive Waste Manifest (NRC Form 541) which Exelon had generated.

The liner was shipped on December 18, 2012. The inspectors reviewed the shipment and determined that it met the definition of Category 2 RAM-QC since it contained more than 8.1 curies of cobalt. The liner was shipped without Exelon implementing the required transportation security plan.

Exelon entered this issue into their CAP as IR02481678 and corrective actions included revising the shipping procedure to reflect the appropriate Department of Transportation requirements for shipment of Category 2 radioactive material. Additionally, Exelon implemented a formal process for reviewing pending regulatory changes for impacts to operations and support activities by the implementation of Exelon Procedure LS-AA-110, Commitment Management, Revision 10, in September 2014.

Analysis.

The inspectors determined that Exelons failure to ship material as a Category 2 RAM-QC was a performance deficiency. The inspectors reviewed IMC 0612, Appendix B, Issue Screening, and determined the issue is more than minor because it is associated with the program and process attribute of the Public Radiation Safety cornerstone and adversely affected the cornerstone objective to ensure adequate protection of public health and safety from exposure to radioactive materials released into the public domain as a result of routine civilian nuclear reactor operation.

Specifically, the station failed to ensure the safe transport of radioactive material on public highways in accordance with regulations. In accordance with IMC 0609, Appendix D, "Public Radiation Safety Significance Determination Process," issued on February 12, 2008, the inspectors determined the finding to be of very low safety significance (Green) because Exelon had an issue involving transportation of radioactive material, but it did not involve:

(1) a radiation limit that was exceeded;
(2) a breach of package during transport;
(3) a certificate of compliance issue;
(4) a low level burial ground nonconformance; or
(5) a failure to make notifications or provide emergency information.

The inspectors determined that the finding did not have a cross-cutting aspect because the issue was not indicative of current licensee performance. Specifically, Exelon implemented changes to the radioactive waste shipment procedure that addressed applicable requirements and implemented a formal process for reviewing pending regulatory changes for impacts to Exelons radioactive material shipment program and support activities. Exelon successfully implemented its transportation security plan in shipping three Category 2 RAM-QC packages in 2014.

Enforcement.

10 CFR 71.5, Transportation of Licensed Material, requires compliance with the applicable requirements of Department of Transportation regulations in 49 CFR 171-180. 49 CFR 172, Subpart I, Safety and Security Plans, [49 CFR 172.800(b)]

requires that known radionuclides in forms listed as Category 2 RAM-QC must adhere to a transportation security plan. Contrary to this, on December 18, 2012, Exelon made a Category 2 shipment of RAM-QC, (Shipment ID 12-080) without implementing the required transportation security plan. Corrective actions included entering this issue into their CAP as IR02481678 and revising the shipping procedure to reflect the appropriate Department of Transportation requirements for shipment of Category 2 radioactive material. Because this violation is of very low safety significance (Green) and has been entered into Exelons CAP (IR02481678), this violation is being treated as an NCV, consistent with Section 2.3.2.a of the NRC Enforcement Policy.

OTHER ACTIVITIES

4OA1 Performance Indicator Verification

.1 Safety System Functional Failures (2 samples)

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors reviewed Exelons submittals for the Safety Systems Functional Failures performance indicator for both Units 1 and 2 for the period of April 1, 2014, through March 31, 2015. To determine the accuracy of the performance indicator data reported during those periods, inspectors used definitions and guidance contained in Nuclear Energy Institute Document 99-02, Regulatory Assessment Performance Indicator Guideline, Revision 7, and NUREG-1022, Event Reporting Guidelines 10 CFR 50.72 and 10 CFR 50.73, Revision 3. The inspectors reviewed Exelons operator narrative logs, operability assessments, maintenance rule records, maintenance WOs, CRs, event reports, and NRC integrated inspection reports to validate the accuracy of the submittals.

b. Findings

No findings were identified.

4OA2 Problem Identification and Resolution

.1 Routine Review of Problem Identification and Resolution Activities

a. Inspection Scope

As required by Inspection Procedure 71152, Problem Identification and Resolution, the inspectors routinely reviewed issues during baseline inspection activities and plant status reviews to verify that Exelon entered issues into the CAP at an appropriate threshold, gave adequate attention to timely corrective actions, and identified and addressed adverse trends. In order to assist with the identification of repetitive equipment failures and specific human performance issues for follow-up, the inspectors performed a daily screening of items entered into the CAP and periodically attended CR screening meetings.

b. Findings

No findings were identified.

.2 Semi-Annual Trend Review

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors performed a semi-annual review of site issues, as required by Inspection Procedure 71152, Problem Identification and Resolution, to identify trends that might indicate the existence of more significant safety issues. In this review, the inspectors included repetitive or closely-related issues that may have been documented by Exelon personnel outside of the CAP, such as trend reports, performance indicators, major equipment problem lists, system health reports, maintenance rule assessments, and maintenance or CAP backlogs. The inspectors also reviewed Exelons CAP database for the first and second quarter of 2015 to assess CRs written in various subject areas (equipment problems, human performance issues, etc.), as well as individual issues identified during the NRCs daily CR review (Section 4OA2.1). The inspectors reviewed Exelons quarterly trend report for the first quarter of 2015, conducted under PI-AA-125-1005, Coding and Analysis Manual, Revision 0, to verify that Exelon personnel were appropriately evaluating and trending adverse conditions in accordance with applicable procedures.

b. Findings and Observations

No findings were identified.

The inspectors evaluated a sample of departments that are required to provide input into the quarterly trend reports, which included maintenance and engineering departments.

This review included a sample of issues and events that occurred over the course of the past two quarters to objectively determine whether issues were appropriately considered or ruled as emerging or adverse trends, and in some cases, verified the appropriate disposition of resolved trends. The inspectors verified that these issues were addressed within the scope of the CAP, or through department review and documentation in the quarterly trend report for overall assessment. All trends noted by the inspectors were previously identified by Exelon and addressed in their CAP.

.3 Annual Sample: CAC Failures to Shift to Slow Speed

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors performed an in-depth review of Exelons ACEs and corrective actions associated with CR 2014-000506 and IR02408755 related to CAC failures to shift to slow speed operation.

The inspectors assessed Exelons problem identification threshold, causal analyses, technical analyses, extent of condition reviews, and the prioritization and timeliness of corrective actions to determine whether Exelon was appropriately identifying, characterizing, and correcting problems associated with this issue. The inspectors reviewed the circumstances of these and a 2011 CAC issue to ascertain the appropriateness of corrective actions. The inspectors also assessed Exelons corrective actions to prevent recurrence. The inspectors compared the actions taken to the requirements of Exelons CAP and 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion XVI, Corrective Action. In addition, the inspectors reviewed documentation associated with this issue, including incident reports, and interviewed engineering personnel to assess the effectiveness of planned and implemented corrective actions.

b. Findings

Introduction:

The inspectors identified a Green NCV of 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion V, Instructions, Procedures, and Drawings, for failure to include appropriate quantitative acceptance criteria for determining the auxiliary contacts and mechanical interlocks were properly installed and adjusted when the Units 1 and 2 CAC starters and contactors were replaced during plant modifications. The starter and contactors with associated mechanical interlocks and auxiliary contacts provide the necessary electrical coordination to shift the CACs from fast to slow speed during a SIAS. The starter and contactor replacements occurred from July 2002 to July 2004.

Description:

For normal containment atmosphere cooling, the CACs operate in fast fan speed with low SRW flow. A SIAS will shift the CACs to slow fan speed operation and high SRW flow. A quarterly TS surveillance verifies the functionality of the shift to slow speed from fast speed operation. Two speed fan operation is provided by a six terminal consequent pole motor. In fast speed, starter F1 energizes three terminals to the motor winding and the terminals for slow speed are shorted by contactor F2. In slow speed, starter S energizes the other three terminals and F1 and F2 are deenergized, i.e.

contacts open from the 480 volts alternating current (Vac) power supply. Proper coordination of F1, F2, and S is required to prevent a phase to phase short from occurring. If S and F2 are energized at the same time, i.e. their contacts closed, a phase to phase 480Vac short will occur between the slow speed terminals. Coordination of the F1, F2, and S starters and contactors is achieved with a mechanical interlock between the F1 and S starters and an electrical interlock that involves auxiliary B contacts for each starter and the contactor. F1 and S are identical make and model starters. F2 is similar in design and construction but does not have a mechanical interlock or electric overload heater.

The F1 and S starters and F2 contactors for all four CACs on Units 1 and 2 were the subject of plant modification ES200101002, Containment Air Cooler Starter Replacements, Revision 0, to replace all starters and contactors with an equivalent make and model due to obsolescence issues. The plant modifications for all CACs occurred from 2002 to 2004.

CR 2014-000506 documented that on January 19, 2014, the 23 CAC failed to shift to slow speed from fast speed operation during surveillance testing. Its associated 480Vac breaker tripped on overload. Exelon determined the apparent cause was maladjusted auxiliary contacts on the fast and slow speed starters and shorting contactor in the control circuit of the consequent pole motor for the 23 CAC. The auxiliary contactors were never adjusted consistent with vendor installation requirements when the starters and contactor were replaced during plant modification in 2002. Exelon replaced the starters and contactor for the 23 CAC and properly adjusted the mechanical and electrical interlocks as an immediate corrective action. Exelon initiated corrective action WOs to measure and adjust the auxiliary contacts for the remaining CACs on Units 1 and 2 as an extent of condition item. The WOs were intended to be completed in the 24th week of 2015.

IR02408755 documented that on November 8, 2014, the 13 CAC failed to shift to slow speed from fast speed operation during surveillance testing. Identical to the 23 CAC on January 19, 2014, the 13 CAC tripped on electrical overload. Exelon completed an ACE and determined that its communication of plant vulnerabilities for work prioritization needed improvement. The corrective action WOs to adjust all associated starters and contactors auxiliary contacts were expedited and completed November 26, 2014.

The inspectors noted that in 2011 Exelon completed an ACE 2011-003714, for a similar event when the 24 CAC failed to shift to slow speed during quarterly SIAS testing.

Exelon determined a phase to phase short across the motor supply power occurred.

The short was caused by the slow speed starter and shorting contactor closed at the same time. Exelon determined the failure mechanism was the mechanical interlock between the fast speed and slow speed starters was maladjusted and contributed to the lack of coordination that allowed the slow speed starter and shorting contactor to be closed concurrently. The apparent cause determined the mechanical interlocks were known to require adjustment since 2004 but extent of condition inspections did not complete earlier and resulted in the 24 CAC trip. Vendor Technical Manual (VTM)12095-138, Instruction Manual for Cutler Hammer A200 Line Size 5 Starter Assembly, Installation Step 4.2.1 stated: CCNPP to install the NLI supplied starter assembly using CCNPP plant procedures in conjunction with this manual. Documents attached in VTM 12095-138 included: I.L. 17054C, instructions for A200, A201, A250 Size 5, 2, or 3 Pole Motor Controller Nonreversing or Reversing, Revision C and I.L. 17049D, Instructions for V201, V202, A211, A251 Size 5, 2, and 3 Pole Contactors Nonreversing, Reversing and Lighting, Revision D both stated in Installation step b), auxiliary contacts and mechanical interlocks must be properly installed and adjusted. Exelon entered this issue into their CAP as IR02408755 and initiated an ACE.

Analysis:

The inspectors determined that Exelons failure to include appropriate quantitative acceptance criteria for determining the auxiliary contacts and mechanical interlocks were properly installed and adjusted when the Units 1 and 2 CAC starters and contactors were replaced during plant modifications is a performance deficiency. The inspectors reviewed IMC 0612, Appendix B, Issue Screening, and determined the issue is more than minor because it is associated with the Mitigating Systems cornerstone attribute of design control and adversely affected the cornerstone objective to ensure the availability, reliability and capability of systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences. Specifically, the failure of the CAC fans to operate properly impacted the CAC system which provides a mitigating function, along with containment spray, in the cooling of containment sump water during the post-accident recirculation mode of operation. The inspectors evaluated the finding using IMC 0609, Attachment 4, Initial Characterization of Findings, issued on June 19, 2012, and IMC 0609, Appendix A, The Significance Determination Process for Findings At Power, Exhibit 2, Mitigating Systems Screenings Questions, issued on June 19, 2012, and determined a detailed risk evaluation was required for the actual loss of function of the 13 CAC for greater than its TS allowed outage time.

A regional Senior Reactor Analyst performed a detailed risk evaluation using the Calvert Cliffs SPAR Model for Calvert Cliffs Unit 1, Version 8.27, for internal events. The analysis of internal and external events conservatively determined a risk increase in core damage frequency in the mid to upper E-7 range, a finding of very low safety significance (Green). The failure of the 13 CAC fan to transfer on a SIAS to slow speed was evaluated as a failure to start and determined to bound the risk associated with the failure of the CAC fans previously discussed. An exposure time of 46 days was assumed which was T/2 since the last successful surveillance test performed 92 days before the failure. This is consistent with guidance provided in the Risk Assessment of Operational Events Handbook for Internal Events. The SPAR model also calculated an increased conditional revised common cause failure probability for the remaining CAC fans based on the failure mode. A SPAR-H, human reliability model calculation, was performed which determined a nominal probability of 1 in 100 for a failure to recover the loss of the 13 CAC fan. This is in part based on the time available to diagnose and take recovery action. However, a failure to recover rate of 1 in 10 was used for conservatism.

The dominant internal core damage sequence was an inadvertent opening of a power operated relief valve with failure to isolate, failure of shutdown cooling, and failure of containment cooling.

The Senior Reactor Analyst reviewed information relative to Exelons external event risk information, which indicated a delta core damage frequency contribution in the mid E-7 range. This was dominated by RCP seal loss of coolant accident scenarios due to postulated fire events impacting direct current control power. Other external event considerations included component cooling water room spray flooding events resulting in the assumed complete loss of the component cooling water system and resultant RCP seal loss of coolant accident. There was no impact on large early release frequency for this finding.

The inspectors determined that the finding did not have a cross-cutting aspect because the issue was not indicative of current licensee performance. Specifically, the Units 1 and 2 CAC starters and contactors were replaced from 2002 to 2004.

Enforcement:

10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion V, Instructions, Procedures, and Drawings, state, in part, that instructions or procedures shall include appropriate quantitative acceptance criteria for determining that important activities have been satisfactorily accomplished. Starter and contactor replacements with proper auxiliary contact and mechanical interlock adjustments were important to ensure the successful operation of the CACs. Contrary to the above, WOs for the Units 1 and 2 CAC starters and contactors replacements did not include appropriate quantitative acceptance criteria for the adjustment of the mechanical interlocks and auxiliary contacts. The starter and contactor replacements and violations occurred on July 24, 2002, for the 23 CAC; August 2, 2002, for the 21 CAC; August 5, 2002, for the 11 CAC; August 20, 2002, for the 13 CAC; June 4, 2003, for the 12 CAC; June 11, 2003, for the 24 CAC; June 18, 2003, for the 24 CAC; and July 1, 2004, for the 22 CAC. Corrective actions included completing an ACE and completing corrective action WOs to adjust all associated starters and contactors auxiliary contacts. Because this violation was of very low safety significance (Green) and was entered into Exelons CAP (IR02408755), this violation is being treated as a NCV, consistent with Section 2.3.2.a of the NRC Enforcement Policy.

(NCV 05000317, 318/2015002-02: Inadequate Maintenance Instructions for Replacement of the Units 1 and 2 Containment Air Cooler Starters)

Observations The inspectors noted that when the mechanical interlocks were identified by Exelon in ACE 2011-003714 as being installed without proper adjustment, that was an earlier opportunity through extent of condition to identify that the electrical interlocks, i.e. the auxiliary contacts, were not adjusted consistent with vendor instructions. Exelon in the same ACE, 2011-003714, stated a contributing cause was a potential for arcing due to the electrical interlock not being a robust barrier to prevent the arcing. The inspectors noted that corrective actions were not initiated to determine if the electrical interlocks, provided by the starter and contactor auxiliary contacts, should be a robust redundant barrier to prevent arcing.

The inspectors also noted that the administrative review and processing of CR 2011-003714, CR 2014-000506, and IR02408755 were opportunities to have identified the lack of quality installation as a nonconforming condition and to subsequently have performed an operability evaluation that documented, detailed, and evaluated the impact of the nonconforming condition upon the CACs. Exelon, in procedure OP-AA-108-115, Operability Determinations (CM-1), Revision 15, has defined a nonconforming condition, in part, as a condition of a SSC in which there is a situation in which quality has been reduced because of modification. Quality was reduced during the modifications in 2002 through 2004 because vendor installation instructions were not followed to properly adjust the mechanical and electrical interlocks and ensure proper coordination existed to reliably shift the CACs from fast to slow speed. Step 4.1.10 of OP-AA-108-115 required an Operability Evaluation for nonconforming conditions.

CR 2014-006940 was initiated on August 12, 2014, when an analyst believed a vulnerability in equipment reliability existed with scheduling the remaining CAC controller inspections out into the second quarter of 2015. The analyst recommended scheduling the inspection sooner. The CAC controller inspections were scheduled sooner, for the first month in 2015, but not before the 13 CAC tripped during surveillance testing on November 8, 2014. Exelon in ACE 02408755 was self-critical of its missed opportunities to apply increased urgency for CAC extent of condition actions. However, Exelon did not identify that these issues should have been identified as nonconforming conditions requiring a detailed operability evaluation.

Finally, the inspectors noted that Exelon failed to identify an additional failure mechanism in its ACEs: insufficient time delay provided by the mechanical interlock.

If the mechanical interlock did not provide sufficient time delay, the identical F1 and S starter and similar F2 contactor would change states at nearly the same instant. If S closes while F2 is opening, a phase to phase short could occur. Exelon did not consult the starter and contactor vendor during its ACEs to ascertain the validity of this or other failure mechanisms.

Exelon entered these observations into its CAP as IR02497625, IR02499301, and IR02499303.
