SUMMARY
Inspection Report 05000317/2016004, 05000318/2016004; 10/01/2016 - 12/31/2016; Calvert
Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant (CCNPP), Units 1 and 2; Operability Determinations and Functionality Assessments.
This report covers a three-month period of inspection by resident inspectors and announced baseline inspections performed by regional inspectors. The inspectors identified one non-cited violation (NCV) 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 November 1, 2016. The NRCs program for overseeing the safe operation of commercial nuclear power reactors is described in NUREG-1649, Reactor Oversight Process,
Revision 6.
Cornerstone: Barrier Integrity
- Green.
The inspectors identified a Green NCV of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), Appendix B, Criterion XVI, Corrective Action, for Exelons failure to identify conditions adverse to quality at CCNPP. Specifically, several safety related auxiliary building caulking, seals, expansion joints, and penetration barriers were found by the inspectors or revealed themselves by water intrusion events to be degraded. The inspectors determined that Exelons failure to identify degradation of several auxiliary building caulking, seals, and expansion joints was a performance deficiency that was reasonably within its ability to foresee and correct and should have been prevented.
Exelons immediate corrective actions included performing operability determinations on degraded barriers, and repair of the degraded barriers. Exelon entered these issues into its corrective action program (CAP) as action request (AR) 02715188, AR 02715199, AR 02716543, AR 02725901, and AR 02564655.
The inspectors reviewed IMC 0612, Appendix B, Issue Screening, issued on May 6, 2016, and determined the issue is more than minor because it adversely affected the Human Performance attribute, of the Auxiliary Building Area, of the Barrier integrity cornerstone objective to provide reasonable assurance that physical design barriers protect the public from radionuclide releases caused by accidents or events. The inspectors also reviewed IMC 0612, Appendix E, Examples of Minor Issues, and found it was sufficiently similar to Example 3.k, in that significant programmatic deficiencies were identified that could have led to worse outcomes. Specifically, several inspection programs designed to identify degraded barriers, caulking, seals, and expansion joints in safety related auxiliary building barriers, had not been performed, or had been performed inadequately. In accordance with IMC 0609, Attachment 4, Initial Characterization of Findings, issued on October 7, 2016, and IMC 0609, Appendix A, The Significance Determination Process for Findings at Power issued on June 19, 2012, the inspectors determined that this finding is of very low safety significance (Green) since, the only safety related degradation represented by the finding is of the radiological barrier function provided for the auxiliary building. The inspectors determined that the cause of the finding has a cross-cutting aspect in the area of Human Performance, Procedure Adherence, because Exelon did not complete the baseline inspection required by AMBD-0026 within the 10 years preceding entry of Units 1 and 2 into their respective periods of extended operation as specified in CNG-CM-6.01. Additionally, inspections conducted under AMBD-0052, and 0-013-49-O-18M were inadequate in that they failed to identify degradation of the barriers as described above. [H.8] (Section 1R15)
REPORT DETAILS
Summary of Plant Status
Unit 1 began the inspection period at 100 percent power. On December 10, 2016, operators reduced power to 83 percent for main turbine valve testing and restored the unit to 100 percent power the same day. The unit remained at or near 100 percent power for the remainder of the inspection period.
Unit 2 began the inspection period at 100 percent power. On December 3, 2016, the unit experienced an automatic loss of load reactor trip due to a leak in the electro-hydraulic control system from the Main Turbine 21 Governor Valve. Unit startup began on December 4 and the unit reached 100 percent power on December 5. The unit remained at or near 100 percent power for the remainder of the inspection period.

(71111.11Q - 2 samples;
==71111.11A - 1 sample)
.1 Quarterly Review of Licensed Operator Requalification Testing and Training
==
a. Inspection Scope
The inspectors observed a licensed operator simulator training scenario on December 13-14, 2016, which involved a hypothetical steam generator tube rupture coincident with a main steam line break inside of containment and a failure of select components to automatically start as required resulting in an Alert declaration. The inspectors evaluated operator performance during the simulated event and verified completion of risk significant operator actions, including the use of abnormal and emergency operating procedures (EOP). The inspectors assessed the clarity and effectiveness of communications, implementation of actions in response to alarms and degrading plant conditions, and the oversight and direction provided by the control room supervisor. The inspectors verified the accuracy and timeliness of the emergency classification made by, and the TS action statements entered by the shift manager. Additionally, the inspectors assessed the ability of the crew and training staff to identify and document crew performance problems.
b. Findings

The inspection assessed whether Pass/Fail rates were consistent with the guidance of NRC IMC 0609, Appendix I, Licensed Operator Requalification Significance Determination Process (SDP). The review verified that the failure rate (individual or crew) did not exceed 20 percent.
- None of the 75 operators failed any section of the annual exam. The overall individual failure rate was 0.0 percent
- None of the 14 crews failed the simulator test. The crew failure rate was 0.0 percent
a. Findings
No findings were identified.
1R12 Maintenance Effectiveness
a. Inspection Scope
The inspectors reviewed the samples listed below to assess the effectiveness of maintenance activities on structure, system, and component (SSC) performance and reliability. The inspectors reviewed system health reports, CAP documents, maintenance WOs, and maintenance rule basis documents to ensure that Exelon was identifying and properly evaluating performance problems within the scope of the maintenance rule. For each sample selected, the inspectors verified that the SSC was properly scoped into the maintenance rule in accordance with 10 CFR 50.65 and verified that the (a)(2) performance criteria established by the Exelon staff was reasonable. As applicable, for SSCs classified as (a)(1), the inspectors assessed the adequacy of goals and corrective actions to return these SSCs to (a)(2). Additionally, the inspectors ensured that the Exelon staff was identifying and addressing common cause failures that occurred within and across maintenance rule system boundaries. Additionally the inspectors verified that quality control verifications were properly specified in accordance with the Quality Assurance Program, and were implemented as specified.

1R13 Maintenance Risk Assessments and Emergent Work Control
a. Inspection Scope
The inspectors reviewed station evaluation and management of plant risk for the maintenance and emergent work activities listed below to verify that Exelon performed the appropriate risk assessments prior to removing equipment for work. The inspectors selected these activities based on potential risk significance relative to the reactor safety cornerstones. As applicable for each activity, the inspectors verified that Exelon performed risk assessments as required by 10 CFR 50.65(a)(4) and that the assessments were accurate and complete. When Exelon performed emergent work, the inspectors verified that operations personnel promptly assessed and managed plant risk.
The inspectors reviewed the scope of maintenance work and discussed the results of the assessment with the stations probabilistic risk analyst to verify that plant conditions were consistent with the risk assessment. The inspectors also reviewed the TS requirements and inspected portions of redundant safety systems, when applicable, to verify risk analysis assumptions were valid and applicable requirements were met.

b. Findings
No findings were identified.
1R15 Operability Determinations and Functionality Assessments
a. Inspection Scope
The inspectors reviewed operability determinations for the degraded or non-conforming conditions listed below based on the risk significance of the associated components and systems. The inspectors evaluated the technical adequacy of the operability determinations to assess whether TS operability was properly justified and the subject component or system remained available such that no unrecognized increase in risk occurred. The inspectors compared the operability and design criteria in the appropriate sections of the TS and UFSAR to Exelon staffs evaluations to determine whether the components or systems were operable. The inspectors confirmed, where appropriate, compliance with bounding limitations associated with the evaluations. Where compensatory measures were required to maintain operability, such as in the case of operator work arounds (OWA), the inspectors evaluated whether the measures in place would function as intended and were properly controlled by Exelon staff. The inspectors verified that Exelon staff identified OWAs at an appropriate threshold and addressed them in a manner that effectively managed OWA-related adverse effects on operators and SSCs.

b. Findings
Introduction.
The inspectors identified a Green NCV of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion XVI, Corrective Action, for Exelons failure to identify conditions adverse to quality at CCNPP. Specifically, several safety related auxiliary building caulking, seals, expansion joints, and penetration barriers have been found by the inspectors or have revealed themselves by water intrusion events to be degraded.
Description.
As part of the aging management monitoring program committed to as part of license renewal, Exelon developed programs and procedures requiring inspection of safety related auxiliary building caulking, seals, expansion joints, and penetration barriers. These programs were added to the operating licenses for Units 1 and 2 as issued on March 23, 2000. Procedures developed to satisfy this requirement included ER-AA-700, Aging Management Implementation, Revision 5, which superseded CNG-CM-6.01, License Renewal Implementation, Revision 0, their associated aging management basis documents (AMBD), AMBD-0026, Caulk and Seal Program, Revision 200, AMBD-0052, Structure and System Walkdowns, Revision 400, and 0-013-49-O-18M, Operations Performance Evaluation of Barriers for Non-Appendix R Fire Compartments, Revision, 401. The inspectors determined that some of these required inspections had been performed as recently as April, 2016, (e.g. 0-013-49-O-18M in April 2016, AMBD-0052 in 2009) while others had not been performed in accordance with timeframes and periodicities established in the licensees procedures. Specifically CNG-CM-6.01, License Renewal Implementation, which was active from June 29, 2007, to March 16, 2016, stated that except for the inspections that have been ongoing under existing aging management programs (e.g. inspections of Appendix R and non-appendix R fire seals, done every 18 months that are credited to perform a subset of the required AMBD-0026 inspections), inspections that occur up to 10 years prior to the period of extended operation can be credited for aging management. The inspectors determined that contrary to the above, some inspections required by AMBD-0026 were not performed in the 10 years preceding entry of Unit 1 in July of 2014 and Unit 2 in August of 2016 into their respective periods for extended operation and had not been performed during the period of extended operation as of the time of discovery of the degraded caulking, seals, or expansion joints.
The inspectors also determined that some of the barriers described above had been inappropriately excluded from the scope of the AMBD-0026 inspections at the last revision. While reviewing Exelons CAP entries the inspectors further noted that an entry documenting barriers missing from the scope of AMBD-0026 (IR 02443423) had been closed out with no action taken due to the loss of the original list of missing barriers.
On September 13, 2016, the inspectors visually identified, and felt air flow through degradation of two expansion joints in the ceiling of room 517, the Unit 2 83 horizontal cable chase. The inspectors also noted evidence of past water intrusion through the degraded expansion joints onto safety related cables routed through the room. Upon notification by the inspectors, Exelons immediate corrective actions included repairing the degraded expansion joints and inspecting the previously wetted safety related cables for evidence of degradation. No degradation was found to the cables and the issue was entered into the CAP as IR 02715188 and IR 02715199. During an extent of condition review, Exelon discovered and repaired two additional expansion joints in a degraded condition in room 518, the Unit 1 83 horizontal cable chase. This degradation was entered into the CAP as IR 02716546.
On October 8, 2016, degradation of an expansion joint in the ceiling of the 45 electrical penetration room, room 429, revealed itself when rain water entered the penetration room and entered the 1K06 alarm relay box causing control room annunciator J-02, EAST PENET RM CANISTER PRESSURE LOW, to alarm. Exelons immediate corrective action included securing electrical power to and drying the wetted relay, caulking a seam found to be open in the roof above the degraded expansion joint, and scheduling the repair of the degraded expansion joint. The issue was documented in the CAP as IR 02725901.
The inspectors reviewed entries in Exelons CAP and determined that on October 2, 2015, an NRC inspector had identified degradation of an expansion joint in the ceiling of the Unit 2 Refueling Water Tank room, room 440 when rain water was identified to be entering the room. Exelons immediate corrective actions included diverting the rain water entering the room to a floor drain, and repairing the roof above the degraded expansion joint. This issue was entered into Exelons CAP as IR 02564655.
The inspectors determined that this program was clearly not being executed as designed and as a result was not effective in identifying and correcting actual degraded conditions.
Water intrusion was a direct cause of the 2010 dual unit trip, when water from a leaking roof panel entered a conduit and collected in a break cubicle eventually causing fault.
Thus plant history has shown undetected water intrusion can be an event initiator.
Analysis.
The inspectors determined that Exelons failure to identify degradation of several auxiliary building caulking, seals, and expansion joints was a performance deficiency that was reasonably within Exelons ability to foresee and correct and should have been prevented. The inspectors reviewed IMC 0612, Appendix B, Issue Screening, issued on May 6, 2016, and determined the issue is more than minor because it adversely affected the Human Performance attribute, of the Auxiliary Building Area, of the Barrier integrity cornerstone objective to provide reasonable assurance that physical design barriers protect the public from radionuclide releases caused by accidents or events. The inspectors also reviewed IMC 0612, Appendix E, Examples of Minor Issues, and found it was sufficiently similar to Example 3.k, in that significant programmatic deficiencies were identified that could have led to worse outcomes.
Specifically, several inspection programs designed to identify degraded barriers, caulking, seals, and expansion joints in safety related auxiliary building barriers, had not been performed, or had been performed inadequately. In accordance with IMC 0609, 4, Initial Characterization of Findings, issued on October 7, 2016, and IMC 0609, Appendix A, The Significance Determination Process for Findings at Power issued on June 19, 2012, the inspectors determined that this finding is of very low safety significance (Green) since, the only safety related degradation represented by the finding is of the radiological barrier function provided for the auxiliary building.
The inspectors determined that the cause of the finding has a cross-cutting aspect in the area of Human Performance, Procedure Adherence, because Exelon did not complete the baseline inspection required by AMBD-0026 within the 10 years preceding entry of Units 1 and 2 into its respective periods of extended operation as specified in CNG-CM-6.01. Additionally, inspections conducted under AMBD-0052, and 0-013-49-O-18M were inadequate in that they failed to identify degradation of the barriers as described above.
[H.8]
Enforcement.
Title 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion XVI, Corrective Action, requires measures shall be established to assure that conditions adverse to quality, such as failures, malfunctions, deficiencies, deviations, defective material and equipment, and nonconformances are promptly identified and corrected.
Contrary to the above, in July of 2014, Exelon inadequately performed inspection procedures designed to identify degradation in barriers, caulking, seals, and expansion joints in the safety related auxiliary building, resulting in failure to promptly identify and correct conditions adverse to quality. Exelons immediate corrective actions included performing operability determinations on degraded barriers, and repair of the degraded barriers. Because this violation is of very low safety significance (Green) and has been entered into Exelons CAP (IR 02715188, IR 02715199, IR 02716543, IR 02725901, and IR 02564655), this violation is being treated as an NCV, consistent with Section 2.3.2.a of the NRC Enforcement Policy. (NCV 05000317,318/2016004-01, Inadequate Inspection of Caulking, Seals, and Expansion Barriers in the Auxiliary Building).
1R19 Post-Maintenance Testing
a. Inspection Scope
The inspectors reviewed the post-maintenance tests for the maintenance activities listed below to verify that procedures and test activities ensured system operability and functional capability. The inspectors reviewed the test procedure to verify that the procedure adequately tested the safety functions that may have been affected by the maintenance activity, that the acceptance criteria in the procedure were consistent with information in the applicable licensing basis and/or design basis documents, and that the test results were properly reviewed and accepted, and problems were appropriately documented. The inspectors also walked down the affected job site, observed the pre-job briefs and post-job critique where possible, and confirmed that work site cleanliness was maintained. Additionally, the inspectors witnessed the test or reviewed test data to determine if quality control hold points were performed and checked, and that results adequately demonstrated restoration of the affected safety functions.

b. Findings
No findings were identified.
1R22 Surveillance Testing
a. Inspection Scope
The inspectors observed performance of a surveillance test and reviewed test data of selected risk-significant SSCs to assess whether test results satisfied TS, the UFSAR, and Exelon procedure requirements. The inspectors verified that test acceptance criteria were clear, the test demonstrated operational readiness and was consistent with design documentation, test instrumentation had current calibrations and the range and accuracy for the application, the test was performed as written, and applicable test prerequisites were satisfied. Upon test completion, the inspectors considered whether the test results supported that equipment was capable of performing the required safety functions. The inspectors reviewed the surveillance test listed below.

Cornerstone: Emergency Preparedness
1EP4 Emergency Action Level and Emergency Plan Changes
a. Inspection Scope
Exelon implemented various changes to the Calvert Cliffs emergency action levels (EALs), emergency plan, and implementing procedures. Exelon had determined that, in accordance with 10 CFR 50.54(q)(3), any change made to the EALs, emergency plan, and its lower-tier implementing procedures, had not resulted in any reduction in effectiveness of the plan, and that the revised plan continued to meet the standards in 50.47(b) and the requirements of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix E.
The inspectors performed an in-office review of all EAL and emergency plan changes submitted by Exelon as required by 10 CFR 50.54(q)(5), including the changes to lower-tier emergency plan implementing procedures, to evaluate for any potential reductions in effectiveness of the emergency plan. This review by the inspectors was not documented in an NRC Safety Evaluation Report and does not constitute formal NRC approval of the changes. Therefore, these changes remain subject to future NRC inspection in their entirety. The requirements in 10 CFR 50.54(q) were used as reference criteria.
b. Findings
No findings were identified.
RADIATION SAFETY
Cornerstone: Public Radiation Safety and Occupational Radiation Safety
2RS1 Radiological Hazard Assessment and Exposure Controls
(6 samples)
a. Inspection Scope
The inspectors reviewed Exelons performance in assessing and controlling radiological hazards in the workplace. The inspectors used the requirements contained in 10 CFR Part 20, Standards for Protection Against Radiation, TS, Regulatory Guide (RG) 8.38, Control of Access to High and Very High Radiation Areas of Nuclear Plants, Revision 1, and the procedures required by TS as criteria for determining compliance.
Inspection Planning
The inspectors reviewed the performance indicators (PIs) for the occupational exposure cornerstone, radiation protection (RP) program audits, and reports of operational occurrences in occupational radiation safety since the last inspection.
Radiological Hazard Assessment (1 sample)
The inspectors conducted independent radiation measurements during walkdowns of the facility and reviewed the radiological survey program, air sampling and analysis, continuous air monitor use, recent plant radiation surveys for radiological work activities, and any changes to plant operations since the last inspection to verify survey adequacy of any new radiological hazards for onsite workers or to members of the public.
Instructions to Workers (1 sample)
The inspectors reviewed high radiation area work permit controls and use, observed containers of radioactive materials and assessed whether the containers were labeled and controlled in accordance with requirements. The inspectors reviewed several occurrences where a workers electronic personal dosimeter alarmed. The inspectors reviewed Exelons evaluation of the incidents, documentation in the CAP, and whether compensatory dose evaluations were conducted when appropriate. The inspectors verified follow-up investigations of actual radiological conditions for unexpected radiological hazards were performed.
Contamination and Radioactive Material Control (1 sample)
The inspectors observed the monitoring of potentially contaminated material leaving the radiological controlled area and inspected the methods and radiation monitoring instrumentation used for control, survey, and release of that material. The inspectors selected several sealed sources from inventory records and assessed whether the sources were accounted for and were tested for loose surface contamination. The inspectors evaluated whether any recent transactions involving nationally tracked sources were reported in accordance with requirements.

- Unit 1 unplanned power changes (IE03)
- Unit 2 unplanned power changes (IE03)
- Unit 1 unplanned scrams with complications (IE04)
- Unit 2 unplanned scrams with complications (IE04)
To determine the accuracy of the PI data reported during those periods, the inspectors used definitions and guidance contained in Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI) 99-02, Regulatory Assessment of Performance Indicator Guideline, Revision 7. The inspectors reviewed Exelons operator narrative logs, CRs, event reports, system health reports, and NRC integrated IRs to validate the accuracy of the submittals.
b. Findings
No findings were identified.
.2 Occupational Exposure Control Effectiveness (1 sample)
a. Inspection Scope
The inspectors reviewed Exelon submittals for the occupational radiological occurrences PI (OR01) for the third quarter 2015 through the third quarter 2016. The inspectors used PI definitions and guidance contained in NEI 99-02, Revision 7, Regulatory Assessment of Performance Indicator Guidance, to determine the accuracy of the PI data reported.
The inspectors reviewed electronic personal dosimetry accumulated dose alarms, dose reports, and dose assignments for any intakes that occurred during the time period reviewed to determine if there were potentially unrecognized PI occurrences. The inspectors conducted walkdowns of various locked high radiation area and very high radiation area entrances to determine the adequacy of the controls in place for these areas.
b. Findings
No findings were identified.
.3 Radiological Effluent TS/Offsite Dose Calculation Manual Radiological Effluent
Occurrences (1 sample)
a. Inspection Scope
The inspectors reviewed Exelon submittals for the radiological effluent TS/Offsite Dose Calculation Manual radiological effluent occurrences PI (PR01) for the third quarter 2015 through the third quarter 2016. The inspectors used PI definitions and guidance contained in the NEI 99-02, Regulatory Assessment of Performance Indicator Guidance, Revision 7, to determine if the PI data was reported properly. The inspectors reviewed the public dose assessments for the PI for public radiation safety to determine if related data was accurately calculated and reported.
The inspectors reviewed the CAP database to identify any potential occurrences such as unmonitored, uncontrolled, or improperly calculated effluent releases that may have impacted offsite dose. The inspectors reviewed gaseous and liquid effluent summary data and the results of associated offsite dose calculations to determine if indicator results were accurately reported.
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 AR screening meetings. The inspectors also confirmed, on a sampling basis, that, as applicable, for identified defects and non-conformances, Exelon staff performed an evaluation in accordance with 10 CFR Part 21.
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, PIs, major equipment problem lists, system health reports, maintenance rule assessments, and maintenance or CAP backlogs. The inspectors also reviewed Exelons CAP database for the third and fourth quarters of 2016 to assess IRs written in various subject areas (equipment problems, human performance issues, etc.), as well as individual issues identified during the NRCs daily IR review (Section 4OA2.1). The inspectors reviewed Exelons quarterly trend report for the third quarter of 2016, 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 condition reports generated over the course of the past two quarters by departments that provide input to the quarterly trend reports. The inspectors determined that the issues were appropriately evaluated by Exelon staff for potential trends and resolved within the scope of the CAP. The inspectors reviewed self-assessments performed by Exelon outside of the CAP including quarterly performance assessment reports, Nuclear Oversite Audits, and others, and verified that trends identified were input into the CAP and appropriately evaluated.
.3 Annual Sample: Unit 2 Repeat Rod Drop Events Due to Control Element Drive
Mechanism Coil Stack Grounds
a. Inspection Scope
The inspectors performed an in-depth review of Exelons evaluation and corrective actions associated with CCNPP, Unit 2 repetitive dropped control element assembly (CEAs) events into the core due to control element drive mechanism (CEDMs) lift coils grounding. Specifically, on September 5, 2013, Unit 2 dropped CEA No. 27 to the bottom of the core while conducting STP-O-029-2, CEA Free Movement Test, Revision 01501. On December 2, 2015, Unit 2 dropped CEAs No. 56 and No. 57 to the bottom of the core during a reactor start up.
The inspectors assessed Exelons problem identification threshold, cause analyses, extent of condition reviews, compensatory actions, and the prioritization and timeliness of Exelons corrective actions to determine whether Exelon was appropriately identifying, characterizing, and correcting problems associated with this issue and whether the planned or completed corrective actions were appropriate. The inspectors compared the actions taken to the requirements of Exelons corrective action program and 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B. In addition, the inspectors interviewed engineering personnel to assess the effectiveness of the implemented corrective actions.
b. Findings and Observations
No findings were identified CCNPP UFSAR, Section 3.3.4, Control Element Drive Mechanism, describes the safety function of CEDMs for conditions requiring a rapid reactor shutdown. Under such conditions, the CEDM coils will deenergize, allowing the CEA to drop into the core by gravity. The secondary (and non-safety related) function is to allow for manual and automatic rod motion for plant operations such as plant startup and shutdown and reactor coolant system temperature control.
On September 5, 2013, during STP-O-029-2, CEA No. 27 dropped to the bottom of the core. A ground in the upper gripper coil assembly caused the upper gripper pawl to not engage during the manual rod withdrawl sequence thus allowing the rod to drop when the lower pawl released. CEA No. 27 was in the controlling group. CEDM 27 was replaced as an immediate corrective action prior to plant restart.
On December 2, 2015, during a reactor startup, CEAs No. 56 and No. 57 dropped into the core. CEAs No. 56 and 57 are in a scram group. By procedure, scram group rods are fully withdrawn at the beginning of the reactor startup when the reactor is in Mode 3 and has significant shutdown margin. CEDMs 56 and 57 were replaced as an immediate corrective action prior to plant restart.
Exelon determined the root cause for both events to be a manufacturing defect that resulted in circumferential displacement of the coil within the coil housing and the misalignment of the coil lead wire within the coil housing nipple. Exelon determined that a designed flaw left the coil stack lead wires susceptible to rubbing, chaffing, or cracking of the wire insulation due to service stress and hardening of the coil wire insulation due to thermal and radiation effects as contributing causes. Exelon determined that Unit 1 is not susceptible to the same failure mechanism because their CEDMs coil stacks were replaced with a new design that installed protective heat shrink wrap at the point the electrical conductors penetrate the housing as part of their vessel head replacement project in 2006.
In order to eliminate the cause of the rod drops, a plan was developed following the 2013 rod drop to replace all Unit 2 CEDMs in a phased approach over the next three refueling outages. All controlling group CEDMs were replaced in 2013. Half of the scram group CEDMs were replaced in 2015, and the remaining scram group CEDMs will be replaced in 2017. This was determined to be acceptable because the degraded condition would not affect the safety function of the CEDM, to release the CEA during a scram. Additionally since the scram group rods are withdrawn fully and not part of the automatic rod control system, a rod drop would not be expected to occur during normal operations at power from this group. If a rod drop occurred, the plant should be in a shutdown condition mitigating the potential transient, as was the case on December 2, 2015.
This degraded condition would be considered a condition adverse to quality (CAQ). A CAQ needs to be promptly identified and corrected in a manner commensurate with its safety significance. The inspectors concluded that the phased approach to replacement of the CEDM, which corrects the CAQ, was reasonable and timely given the number of CEDMs that needed to be changed out, the safety function was not impacted by the degraded condition, and the sequencing and compensatory actions would mitigate the impact if another rod drop occurred prior to all CEDMs being replaced. Compensatory actions such as pre evolution briefings and just in time training for operators were in place and observed by the inspectors. These mitigating actions were determined to have been effective on December 2, 2015.
The inspectors determined that Exelons immediate and long term corrective actions were adequate to address the issue. All CEDM coil stacks will be upgraded to the newer design by the end of Unit 2s upcoming outage fully correcting the CAQ.
.4 Annual Sample: Review of Vibration and Bearing Failure of 12-CR-HVAC
a. Inspection Scope
The inspectors performed an in-depth review of Exelons apparent cause evaluation and corrective actions associated with action request AR02542324, 12-CR-HVAC belts are loose. Specifically, this AR resulted in a Priority Level 2 request (C93162815) during which it was discovered the shaft had spun inside the inboard bearing nearest the sheave and belts causing the heating, ventilation, and air condition (HVAC) unit to become inoperable and causing entry into a TS limiting condition of operation with a duration of seven days.
The inspectors assessed Exelons problem identification threshold, cause analyses, extent of condition reviews, compensatory actions, and the prioritization and timeliness of Exelons corrective actions to determine whether Exelon was appropriately identifying, characterizing, and correcting problems associated with this issue and whether the planned or completed corrective actions were appropriate. The inspectors compared the actions taken to the requirements of Exelons CAP and 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B. In addition, the inspectors interviewed maintenance personnel to assess the effectiveness of the implemented corrective actions.
b. Findings
No findings were identified.
Exelon determined the most probable cause was a suboptimal application of a dimpled shaft and set screw which allowed the bearing to break loose and spin on the fan shaft.
The failure analysis, contained in the apparent cause report, concluded that by dimpling the shaft, the inside diameter of the cupped portion of the set screw was not in contact with the shaft. The analysis states this greatly reduced the surface area of contact between the screw and the shaft. This configuration caused the cupped surface to fail during a fan start.
The inspectors reviewed the referenced ARs and determined the identified problem was entered into the CAP in an accurate, complete, and timely fashion. The associated work assignments were completed in a timely fashion and the apparent cause evaluation (ACE) considered a broad array of related issues. The inspectors noted the extent of condition was considered both by review of all the site procedures that might include set screw guidance, and the CAP to determine if the problem might exist elsewhere. The ACE identified the root cause, apparent cause, and contributing causes of the problem and included a review of the revised procedures and processes to determine that they effectively corrected the problem. The corrective actions taken were comprehensively documented and were reported to appropriate levels of management.
The inspectors noted that operating experience was adequately evaluated for applicability, and applicable lessons learned were communicated to appropriate organizations and implemented by way of revision to fleet wide training materials. In addition, the ACE included comparison of the site methodology for set screw assembly with the methods used at other fleet wide sites. The Electric Power Research Institute was also consulted to determine best-practices.
Exelon Procedure, Fastener-02, was revised (0300) to include a new Attachment 4, discussing Common Set Screw Types and Uses. The technical procedure states a cupped set screw can be used on flats or on shafts and does not require shaft to be dimpled. The inspectors noted this statement does not prohibit the use of a dimple and it did not give detail about the proper dimensions of a dimple if used. Exelon entered the need to revise the wording in Attachment 4 in order to clearly convey the limits of using a dimple when setting a cupped screw into their CAP (AR 02741780). However, the inspectors observation did not represent a violation of NRC requirements.
4OA3 Follow-Up Events and Notices of Enforcement Discretion
.1 Plant Events
For the plant event listed below, the inspectors reviewed and/or observed plant parameters, reviewed personnel performance, and evaluated performance of mitigating systems. The inspectors communicated the plant events to appropriate regional personnel, and compared the event details with criteria contained in IMC 0309, Reactive Inspection Decision Basis for Reactors, for consideration of potential reactive inspection activities. As applicable, the inspectors verified that Exelon made appropriate emergency classification assessments and properly reported the event in accordance with 10 CFR 50.72 and 50.73. The inspectors reviewed Exelon follow-up actions related to the events to assure that Exelon implemented appropriate corrective actions commensurate with their safety significance.
- Unit 2 loss of load automatic reactor trip due to electrohydraulic control oil leak from the main turbine 21 governor valve emergency trip fluid check valve on December 3, 2016
.2 (Closed) Licensee Event Report (LER) 05000317/2016-001-00: Manual Reactor Trip
Due to High Secondary Side Sodium Levels Due to a Condenser Tube Leak At 0235, on January 25, 2016, operators received a condensate conductivity high level alarm. The chemistry department was notified and began to investigate the cause of the alarm. The chemistry technician reported that the condensate conductivity levels were rising. Concurrently, operators placed the condensate demineralizers in service in an attempt to reduce conductivity. Operators entered Exelon Abnormal Operating Procedure (AOP)-10, Abnormal Secondary Chemistry Conditions, Revision 1702.
Operators secured the circulating water pump in the indicated condenser waterbox. At 0313, on January 25, 2016, operators manually tripped Unit 1 when feedwater and condensate sodium sample levels exceeded AOP-10 threshold limits that required a reactor trip. Following verification that Exelon EOP-0, Post Trip Immediate Actions, Revision 1300, safety functions were met, EOP-1, Reactor Trip, Revision 1400, was entered for an uncomplicated reactor trip. Subsequent investigation determined there was a condenser tube leak on one of the condenser tubes in 13A condenser waterbox.
The cracked condenser tube and several surrounding condenser tubes were plugged and the site began preparations to start-up the unit. Unit 1 was returned to Mode 1 at 2220, on January 25, 2016, and the unit returned to full power at 2310, on January 26, 2016. During the 2016 Unit 1 refueling outage, eddy current testing confirmed a circumferential crack on the affected tube. A causal analysis revealed that the crack was vibration induced. As part of the extent of condition investigation the normal number of condenser tubes that were eddy current tested in 13A condenser during a refueling outage was expanded. As a result, four other condenser tubes in 13A condenser were found to have indications of wear at tube stake locations and were subsequently plugged. Radial stakes were then installed during the refueling outage to reduce movement in the X and Y direction. The site conducted the normal amount of eddy current testing on the remaining Unit 1 condensers with no similar issues detected.
The inspectors reviewed the LER and the causal analysis for the event. No findings or violations of NRC requirements were identified. This LER is closed.
.3 (Closed) LER 05000317/2016-004-00: High Energy Line Break Barrier Breeched Due to
Human Performance Error Causing Both Service Water Trains to be Inoperable On October 19 and 21, 2015, the 11 SRW pump motor was replaced, which required opening of a high energy line break (HELB) barrier. This door separates the turbine building from the SRW pump room. During the SRW motor replacement activity, a new SRW motor was moved into the SRW room and the old SRW motor was moved out.
The movement of the motors involved using a chain fall to move each motor from a cart stationed on one side of the door to a cart stationed on the other side of the door. The barrier was opened for approximately three and a half minutes for each movement. The HELB barrier was restored to its design configuration following each motor move. The WO which controlled the open barrier did not consider the barrier blocked by the chain fall and motor during motor movement. Additionally, compensatory actions for the barrier breech were not properly evaluated. The breech of this HELB barrier caused both trains of SRW to be inoperable because they are not qualified for the steam environment that is postulated to exist following a HELB in the turbine building. Both trains of SRW being inoperable results in a loss of safety function for a system needed to respond to a HELB to provide safe shutdown of the reactor, remove residual heat, and mitigate the consequence of an accident. In addition, this condition also results in an unanalyzed condition that significantly degrades plant safety and a common cause inoperability of independent trains. A single train of AFW was also affected, as were support equipment for other TS components.
An NCV of very low safety significance (Green) of CCNPP TS 5.4.1 for failure to implement procedures as required by RG 1.33, Appendix A, was previously documented as NCV 05000317/2015004-01: Failure to Implement Procedures for the Control of Hazard Barriers during Maintenance. The inspectors reviewed the LER. No additional findings or violations of NRC requirements were identified. This LER is closed.
