UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION ril 28, 2010

SUBJECT:

BRUNSWICK STEAM ELECTRIC PLANT - NRC INTEGRATED INSPECTION REPORT NOS.: 05000325/2010002 AND 05000324/2010002

Dear Mr. Annacone:

On March 31, 2010, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed an inspection at your Brunswick Unit 1 and 2 facilities. The enclosed integrated inspection report documents the inspection findings, which were discussed on March 30, 2010, 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.

The report documents two NRC-identified findings and one self-revealing finding of very low safety significance (Green). These findings were determined to involve violations of NRC requirements. However, because of the very low safety significance and because they have been entered into your corrective action program, the NRC is treating these findings as non-cited violations (NCVs) consistent with Section VI.A.1 of the NRC Enforcement Policy. If you contest any NCV, 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 II; the Director, Office of Enforcement, United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555-0001; and the NRC Resident Inspector at the Brunswick Steam Electric Plant. In addition, if you disagree with the characterization of any finding 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 II, and the NRC Resident Inspector at the Brunswick Steam Electric Plant. The information you provide will be considered in accordance with Inspection Manual Chapter 0305.

In accordance with 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 NRC Public Document Room or from the Publicly Available Records (PARS) component of

CP&L 2 NRCs document system (ADAMS). ADAMS is accessible from the NRC Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html (the Public Electronic Reading Room).

SUMMARY OF FINDINGS

IR 05000325/2010002, 05000324/2010002; 01/01/10 - 03/31/10; Brunswick Steam Electric

Plant, Units 1 & 2; Refueling and Other Outage Activities, and Radioactive Gaseous and Liquid Effluent Treatment.

This report covers a three-month period of inspection by resident inspectors and announced baseline inspections by regional inspectors. Two NRC-identified and one self-revealing findings of very low safety significance (Green) were identified. The significance of most findings is indicated by their color (Green, White, Yellow, Red) using Inspection Manual Chapter (IMC)0609, Significance Determination Process (SDP). The cross-cutting aspects were determined using IMC 0305, Operating Reactor Assessment Program. Findings for which the SDP does not apply may be Green or be assigned a severity level after NRC management review.

Cornerstone: Initiating Events

Green.

The inspectors identified a Green NCV of 10 CFR Part 50.65 (a)(4),

Requirements for monitoring the Effectiveness of Maintenance at Nuclear Power Plants, after Unit 1 experienced a loss of normal reactor feedwater as a result of an abnormal plant configuration during shutdown of the reactor on February 26, 2010.

The licensee did not adequately manage the increase in risk that resulted when the 1B reactor feed pump (RFP) was made unavailable while the 1A south condenser was isolated in the hours leading up to the reactor shutdown. This plant configuration led to a high level in the 1A south condenser hotwell soon after the reactor shutdown, which prevented adequate draining of the 1A RFP turbine casing, and led to the loss of the 1A RFP. After the loss of normal feedwater to the reactor, the licensee restored reactor level using the reactor core isolation cooling (RCIC)system. The licensee entered the issue into its corrective action program (AR

1. 383636).

The failure to adequately evaluate and manage risk associated with equipment configuration during the Unit 1 shutdown is a performance deficiency. This finding is more than minor because it is associated with the initiating events cornerstone attribute of configuration control and it adversely affected the cornerstone objective of limiting the likelihood of those events that upset plant stability and challenge critical safety functions. Specifically, plant stability was upset by the loss of normal feedwater to the reactor. In accordance with IMC 0609, Appendix K, Maintenance Risk Assessment and Risk Management Significance Determination Process, this finding is of very low safety significance (Green) because the Incremental Core Damage Probability Deficit is <E-6 and the Incremental Large Early Release Probability Deficit is <E-7. The inspectors determined that this finding had a cross-cutting aspect in the area of human performance, work control component, because the licensee did not appropriately plan work activities by incorporating risk insights (H.3(a)). Specifically, activities scheduled prior to the reactor shutdown were not properly evaluated to determine their impact on the normal reactor feedwater system. (Section 1R20)

Cornerstone: Mitigating Systems

Green.

A self-revealing Green NCV of Technical Specifications (TS) 5.4.1,

Procedures, was identified when reactor head piping was disconnected prior to swapping shutdown range reactor water level transmitters resulting in inaccurate water level indication. The plant procedure for disconnection of the reactor head piping, 0SMP-RPV501, Reactor Vessel Disassembly, used in conjunction with 0GP-06, Cold Shutdown to Refueling, specifies that prior to removal of head piping, the Shutdown Range Reactor Water Level Transmitters shall be swapped from level transmitters, B21-LT-N027A and B21-LT-N027B, to level transmitters, B21-LT-7468A and B21-LT-7468B. Contrary to this requirement, the common reference leg to the level indicators was disconnected prior to swapping transmitters which resulted in loss of accurate indication of current reactor vessel water level. The licensee reinstalled the disconnected piping, refilled the reference legs for the transmitters, and entered the issue into their corrective action program (AR #383779).

The disconnection of the reference leg flange of the reactor vessel head piping prior to realignment of level instrumentation as required by plant procedures is a performance deficiency. The performance deficiency was more than minor because it is associated with the configuration control attribute of the Mitigating Systems cornerstone because it inappropriately altered the reactor level instrumentation reference leg piping. It affected the cornerstone objective of ensuring the availability, reliability, and capability of systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences. The inaccurate level indication degraded the operators ability to control the reactor vessel water level in the prescribed procedural band and would inhibit their ability to diagnose and prevent loss of residual heat removal (RHR) scenario. In accordance with NRC Inspection Manual Chapter (IMC) 0609,

Appendix G, Shutdown Operations Significance Determination Process,

Attachment 1, Checklist 8, the inspectors conducted a Phase 1 SDP screening and determined the finding required a Phase 2 analysis. The Phase 2 analysis determined the finding is of very low safety significance (Green) because adequate mitigation capability was maintained. The cause of this finding was directly related to the supervisory and management oversight cross-cutting aspect in the work practices component of the Human Performance cross-cutting area because plant supervisors failed to ensure an adequate pre-job brief, failed to enforce proper communications methods at the job site, and failed to properly supervise workers executing procedure steps (H.4(c)). (Section 1R20)

Cornerstone: Public Radiation Safety

Green.

The inspectors identified a Green NCV of 10 CFR 20.1302(a) for failure to ensure surveys of particulate radioactive materials in effluents released to unrestricted areas from the reactor building roof vent were adequate to demonstrate compliance with dose limits for individual members of the public. This issue was initially identified as an unresolved item following an inspection in June 2008. The licensee entered the issue into its corrective action program (AR #292216 and AR

1. 393340). The licensee is currently investigating this issue to identify applicable corrective actions.

The failure to ensure that the reactor building roof vent effluents were adequately monitored is a performance deficiency. This finding is more than minor because it is associated with the Public Radiation Safety Cornerstone attribute of Plant Facilities/Equipment and Instrumentation (Process Radiation Monitors) and adversely affects the cornerstone objective. Specifically, the cornerstone objective of providing assurance that adequate protection of public health and safety from exposure to radioactive materials released into the public domain as a result of routine civilian reactor operation was affected because the licensee did not ensure that reactor building effluents were accurately monitored. The finding was evaluated using the Public Radiation Safety SDP and determined to be of very low safety significance (Green). The finding, which involved the effluent release program, was determined to be of very low safety significance (Green) because it was not a failure to implement the effluent program and did not result in public dose exceeding the 10 CFR 50 Appendix I criterion or 10 CFR 20.1301(e). This finding does not have a cross-cutting aspect because the failure to evaluate the effect of line losses on particulate sampling is a historical issue. (Section 2RS6)

Licensee-Identified Violations

None.

REACTOR SAFETY

Cornerstones: Initiating Events, Mitigating Systems, and Barrier Integrity

1R01 Adverse Weather Protection

.1 External Flooding

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors evaluated the design, material condition, and procedures for coping with the design basis probable maximum flood. The evaluation included a review to check for deviations from the descriptions provided in the Updated Final Safety Analysis Report (UFSAR) for features intended to mitigate the potential for flooding from external factors.

As part of this evaluation, the inspectors checked for obstructions that could prevent draining, checked that the roofs did not contain obvious loose items that could clog drains in the event of heavy precipitation, and determined that barriers required to mitigate the flood were in place and operable. Additionally, the inspectors performed a walkdown of the emergency diesel generator building, the service water building, and emergency diesel generator four-day tank rooms to identify any modification to the site which would inhibit site drainage during a probable maximum precipitation event or allow water ingress past a barrier. The inspectors also reviewed the abnormal operating procedure (AOP) for mitigating the design basis flood to ensure it could be implemented as written. This inspection constitutes one external flooding sample as defined in Inspection Procedure 71111.01.

b. Findings

No findings of significance were identified.

1R04 Equipment Alignment

.1 Quarterly Partial System Walkdowns

a. Inspection Scope

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

• The 1B train of the standby gas treatment (SBGT) system on January 13, 2010 during maintenance on the 1A SBGT train

• 1A loop of the residual heat removal (RHR) system with 1B loop of RHR out of service for chemical cleaning on January 20, 2010

• 1B loop of RHR with the 1A loop of RHR out of service for chemical cleaning on January 26, 2010

• The Unit 1 reactor building closed cooling water system when it was being relied upon for decay heat removal in conjunction with the fuel pool cooling and the supplemental spent fuel pool cooling systems when both trains of the RHR system were out of service on March 19, 2010 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, UFSAR, TS requirements, outstanding work orders, 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 that 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 corrective action program with the appropriate significance characterization. Documents reviewed are listed in the attachment.

b. Findings

No findings of significance were identified.

.2 Semi-Annual Complete System Walkdown

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors performed a complete system alignment inspection of the Unit 1 RHR system to verify the functional capability of the system. This system was selected because it was considered both safety-significant and risk-significant in the licensees probabilistic risk assessment. The inspectors walked down the system to review mechanical and electrical equipment line-ups, electrical power availability, system pressure and 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 work orders (WOs)was performed to determine whether any deficiencies significantly affected the system function. In addition, the inspectors reviewed the corrective action program (CAP)database to ensure that system equipment alignment problems were being identified and appropriately resolved. The documents used for the walkdown and issue review are listed in the attachment.

b. Findings

No findings of significance were identified.

1R05 Fire Protection

.1 Quarterly Resident Inspector Tours

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors conducted fire protection walkdowns which were focused on availability, accessibility, and the condition of firefighting equipment in the following six risk-significant plant areas:

• Unit 2 Reactor Building North 20' Elevation (2PFP-RB2-1g N)

• Unit 2 Reactor Building South 20' Elevation (2PFP-RB2-1g S)

• Unit 2 Reactor Building East 50' Elevation (2PFP-RB2-1h E)

• Unit 2 Reactor Building West 50' Elevation (2PFP-RB2-1h W)

• Makeup Water Treatment Building (0PFP-MWT)

• Fire House (0PFP-FH)

The inspectors reviewed areas to assess if the licensee had implemented a fire protection program that adequately controlled combustibles and ignition sources within the plant, effectively maintained fire detection and suppression capability, maintained passive fire protection features in good material condition, and had implemented adequate compensatory measures for out-of-service, degraded or inoperable fire protection equipment, systems, or features in accordance with the licensees fire plan.

The inspectors selected fire areas based on their overall contribution to internal fire risk as documented in the plants Individual Plant Examination of External Events with later additional insights, their potential to impact equipment which could initiate or mitigate a plant transient, or their impact on the plants ability to respond to a security event. Using the documents listed in the attachment, the inspectors verified that fire hoses and extinguishers were in their designated locations and available for immediate use; that fire detectors and sprinklers were unobstructed, that transient material loading was within the analyzed limits; and that fire doors, dampers, and penetration seals appeared to be in satisfactory condition. The inspectors also verified that minor issues identified during the inspection were entered into the licensees corrective action program.

b. Findings

No findings of significance were identified.

1R06 Flood Protection Measures

.1 Annual Review of Cables Located in Underground Bunkers/Manholes

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors conducted an inspection of underground bunkers/manholes subject to flooding that contain cables whose failure could disable risk-significant equipment. The inspectors performed walkdowns of risk-significant areas, including manhole 2-MH-SY1 containing offsite power cables from the start-up transformer, to verify that the cables were not submerged in water, that cables and/or splices appeared intact and to observe the condition of cable support structures. When applicable, the inspectors verified proper dewatering device (sump pump) operation and verified level alarm circuits were set appropriately to ensure that the cables will not be submerged. Where dewatering devices were not installed, the inspectors ensured that drainage was provided and functioning properly.

b. Findings

No findings of significance were identified.

1R07 Heat Sink Performance

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors reviewed the licensees testing of the 1A RHR heat exchanger to verify that potential deficiencies did not mask the licensees ability to detect degraded performance, to identify any common cause issues that had the potential to increase risk, and to ensure that the licensee was adequately addressing problems that could result in initiating events that would cause an increase in risk. The inspectors reviewed the licensees observations as compared against acceptance criteria, the correlation of scheduled testing and the frequency of testing, and the impact of instrument inaccuracies on test results. Inspectors also visually inspected the service water side of the heat exchanger on March 8, 2010, to ensure that the heat exchanger was free of debris and biological growth.

b. Findings

No findings of significance were identified.

1R08 Inservice Inspection Activities

From March 1, 2010 through March 5, 2010, the inspectors conducted a review of the implementation of the licensees Inservice Inspection (ISI) Program for monitoring degradation of the reactor coolant system, steam generator tubes, emergency feedwater systems, risk-significant piping and components and containment systems.

The inspections described in Sections 1R08.1 and 1R08.2 below constituted one inservice inspection sample as defined in Inspection Procedure 71111.08-05.

.1 Piping Systems IS

a. Inspection Scope

.2 Identification and Resolution of Problems

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors performed a review of ISI-related problems entered into the licensees corrective action program and conducted interviews with licensee staff to determine if;

• the licensee had established an appropriate threshold for identifying ISI-related problems

• the licensee had performed a root cause (if applicable) and taken appropriate corrective actions

• the licensee had evaluated operating experience and industry generic issues related to ISI and pressure boundary integrity The inspectors performed these reviews to evaluate compliance with 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion XVI, Corrective Action, requirements. The corrective action documents reviewed by the inspectors are listed in the Attachment to this report.

b. Findings

No findings of significance were identified.

1R11 Licensed Operator Requalification Program

a. Inspection Scope

On February 9, 2010, the inspectors observed a crew of licensed operators in the plants simulator during licensed operator requalification examinations to verify that operator performance was adequate, evaluators were identifying and documenting crew performance problems, and training was being conducted in accordance with licensee procedures. The inspectors evaluated the following areas:

• licensed operator performance

• crews clarity and formality of communications

• ability to take timely actions in the conservative direction

• prioritization, interpretation, and verification of annunciator alarms

• correct use and implementation of abnormal and emergency procedures

• control board manipulations

• oversight and direction from supervisors

• ability to identify and implement appropriate TS actions and Emergency Plan actions and notifications The crews performance in these areas was compared to pre-established operator action expectations and successful critical task completion requirements.

b. Findings

No findings of significance were identified.

1R12 Maintenance Effectiveness

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors evaluated degraded performance issues involving the following two risk-significant systems:

• Out-of-tolerance calibration of reverse power relay 32PK for emergency diesel generators #1, 2, 3, and 4 on February 4, 2010. (AR #379246)

• 1B conventional service water pump breaker failure to shut after maintenance on February 22, 2010. (AR #382638)

The inspectors reviewed events where ineffective equipment maintenance may have resulted in equipment failure or invalid automatic actuations of Engineered Safeguards Systems and independently verified the licensee's actions to address system performance or condition problems in terms of the following:

• implementing appropriate work practices

• identifying and addressing common cause failures

• scoping of systems in accordance with 10 CFR 50.65(b) of the maintenance rule;

• characterizing system reliability issues for performance

• charging unavailability for performance

• trending key parameters for condition monitoring

• ensuring 10 CFR 50.65(a)(1) or (a)(2) classification or re-classification; and verifying appropriate performance criteria for structures, systems, and components (SSCs)/functions classified as (a)(2) or appropriate and adequate goals and corrective actions for systems classified as (a)(1)

The inspectors assessed performance issues with respect to the reliability, availability, and condition monitoring of the system. In addition, the inspectors verified that maintenance effectiveness issues were entered into the corrective action program with the appropriate significance characterization.

b. Findings

No findings of significance were identified.

1R13 Maintenance Risk Assessments and Emergent Work Control

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors reviewed the licensee's evaluation and management of plant risk for the six maintenance and emergent work activities affecting risk-significant equipment listed below to verify that the appropriate risk assessments were performed prior to removing equipment for work:

• Week of January 4, 2010, with the 2B nuclear service water (NSW) pump and fire protection tank out of service.

• Week of January 11, 2010, with the 1A NSW pump out of service and final feedwater reduction manipulations on Unit 1.

• Yellow risk for Unit 1 with 1B loop RHR out of service for chemical cleaning on January 19, 2010.

• Yellow risk for cycling offsite power breakers on January 27, 2010.

• Unit 2 risk for the Wallace offsite power line out of service for maintenance on February 5, 2010.

• Unit 2 high pressure coolant injection system out of service and the 1C conventional service water pump out of service on February 24, 2010.

These activities were selected based on their potential risk significance relative to the reactor safety cornerstones. As applicable for each activity, the inspectors verified that risk assessments were performed as required by 10 CFR 50.65(a)(4) and were accurate and complete. When emergent work was performed, the inspectors verified that the plant risk was promptly reassessed and managed. The inspectors reviewed the scope of maintenance work, discussed the results of the assessment with the licensee's probabilistic risk analyst or shift technical advisor, and verified that plant conditions were consistent with the risk assessment. The inspectors also reviewed TS requirements and walked down portions of redundant safety systems, when applicable, to verify risk analysis assumptions were valid and applicable requirements were met.

b. Findings

No findings of significance were identified.

1R15 Operability Evaluations

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors reviewed the following eight issues:

• Unit 1 A standby gas train (SBGT) high differential pressure reading on January 13, 2010 (AR #374826)

• Emergency diesel generator (EDG) #1 fuel rack limit cylinder air valve partially shut (AR #362139)

• Bus 2C to bus E4 circuit breaker trip while running EDG #4 for testing on February 2, 2010 (AR #379175)

• EDG #1 frequency oscillation during testing on February 10, 2010 (AR #380756);

• Unit 1 residual heat removal service water piping leak on March 2, 2010 (AR

1. 384175)

• EDG vent piping design (AR #347133)

• Unit 2 A SBGT loop seal filter debris (AR #389573)

• Unit 1 high pressure coolant injection suction strainer gap (AR #387576)

The inspectors selected these potential operability issues based on the risk significance of the associated components and systems. The inspectors evaluated the technical adequacy of the evaluations to ensure that 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 the licensees evaluations, to determine whether the components or systems were operable. Where compensatory measures were required to maintain operability, the inspectors determined whether the measures in place would function as intended and were properly controlled. The inspectors determined, where appropriate, compliance with bounding limitations associated with the evaluations. Additionally, the inspectors also reviewed a sampling of corrective action documents to verify that the licensee was identifying and correcting any deficiencies associated with operability evaluations.

b. Findings

No findings of significance were identified.

1R18 Plant Modifications

a. Inspection Scope

The following three engineering design packages were reviewed and selected aspects were discussed with engineering personnel:

Temporary Plant Modifications:

• Supplemental Fuel Pool Cooling upgrades, engineering change (EC) 74422

• Leak repair of 2-E11-F050A, RHR check valve, EC 74658 Permanent Plant Modification:

• Repair of the Unit 1 high pressure coolant injection torus suction strainer, EC 76428 The inspectors reviewed the associated 10 CFR 50.59 screening against the system design bases documentation to verify that the modifications had not affected system operabililty/availability. The inspectors reviewed selected ongoing and completed work activities to verify that installation was consistent with the design control documents.

b. Findings

No findings of significance were identified.

1R19 Post Maintenance Testing

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors reviewed the following five post-maintenance activities to verify that procedures and test activities were adequate to ensure system operability and functional capability:

• 2OP-43, Service Water System Operating Procedure for the 2B nuclear service water pump on January 8, 2010, after strainer maintenance

• 0PT-08.2.2b, Low pressure coolant injection (LPCI)/RHR System Operability Test -

Loop B on January 22, 2010, after restoration from chemical cleaning

• 0PT-08.2.2c, LPCI/RHR System Operability Test - Loop A on January 30, 2010, after restoration from chemical cleaning

• 0PT-34.5.5.0, Diesel and Electric Fire Pump Functional Test on February 18, 2010, after restoration from plant maintenance

• 0PT-8.2.2c, LPCI/RHR System Operability Test - Loop A on March 29, 2010, after restoration following maintenance The inspectors reviewed these post-maintenance tests to verify that procedures and test activities ensured system operability and functional capability. The inspectors reviewed the licensees test procedure to verify that the procedure adequately tested the safety function(s) 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 procedure had been properly reviewed and approved. The inspectors also witnessed the test or reviewed the test data, to verify that test results adequately demonstrated restoration of the affected safety function(s).

b. Findings

No findings of significance were identified.

1R20 Outage Activities

.1 Refueling Outage Activities

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors reviewed the outage plan and contingency plans for the Unit 1 refueling outage, started on February 26, 2010, to confirm that the licensee had appropriately considered risk, industry experience, and previous site-specific problems in developing and implementing a plan that assured maintenance of defense-in-depth. During the refueling outage, the inspectors observed portions of the shutdown and cooldown processes and monitored licensee controls over the outage activities listed below.

Documents reviewed during the inspection are listed in the attachment.

• Licensee configuration management, including maintenance of defense-in-depth for key safety functions and compliance with the applicable TS when taking equipment out of service

• Implementation of clearance activities and confirmation that tags were properly hung and equipment appropriately configured to safely support the work or testing

• Installation and configuration of reactor coolant pressure, level, and temperature instruments to provide accurate indication, accounting for instrument error

• Controls over the status and configuration of electrical systems to ensure that TS and outage safety plan requirements were met, and controls over switchyard activities

• Monitoring of decay heat removal processes, systems, and components

• Controls to ensure that outage work was not impacting the ability of the operators to operate the spent fuel pool cooling system

• Reactor water inventory controls including flow paths, configurations, and alternative means for inventory addition, and controls to prevent inventory loss;

• Controls over activities that could affect reactivity

• Maintenance of secondary containment as required by TS

• Refueling activities, including fuel handling and sipping to detect fuel assembly leakage

• Licensee identification and resolution of problems related to refueling outage activities.

b. Findings

(1) Failure to Follow Procedure During Reactor Head Disassembly

Introduction:

A self-revealing Green NCV of TS 5.4.1, Procedures, was identified when reactor head piping was disconnected prior to swapping shutdown range reactor water level transmitters resulting in inaccurate water level indication. The plant procedure for disconnection of the reactor head piping, 0SMP-RPV501, Reactor Vessel Disassembly, used in conjunction with 0GP-06, Cold Shutdown to Refueling, specifies that prior to removal of head piping, the Shutdown Range Reactor Water Level Transmitters shall be swapped from level transmitters, B21-LT-N027A and B21-LT-N027B, to level transmitters, B21-LT-7468A and B21-LT-7468B. Contrary to this requirement, the common reference leg to the level indicators was disconnected prior to swapping transmitters which resulted in loss of accurate indication of current reactor vessel water level. The licensee reinstalled the disconnected piping, refilled the reference legs for the transmitters, and entered the issue into its corrective action program.

Description:

On February 28, 2010, with Unit 1 in Mode 4 and reactor water level being maintained between 390 and 420 inches per the shutdown range reactor water level transmitters (B21-LT-N027A and B21-LT-N027B), the indicated water level suddenly increased from approximately 419 to 537 inches. The control room was notified that the reference leg flange of the level transmitters currently being used had been loosened.

When the flange was loosened, the reference leg lost water level which resulted in the rise in indicated water level in the control room. The water level indicators were realigned from level transmitters, B21-LT-N027A and B21-LT-N027B, to level transmitters, B21-LT-7468A and B21-LT-7468B. Upon realignment, the indicated water level stabilized at 385 inches. The control room then reconnected the reference leg piping, refilled the reference leg for the level transmitters, B21-LT-N027A and B21-LT-N027B, and level stabilized at 410 inches.

Procedure 0GP-06, Cold Shutdown to Refueling step 5.1.14, directs that the level transmitters shall be swapped and authorization shall be given prior to removing reactor water level piping per 0SMP-RPV501. The miscommunication between the control room operators and the maintenance group performing the disassembly of the reactor vessel head piping lead to loosening the flange of the common reference leg prior to the control room operators swapping from the level transmitters B21-LT-N027A and B21-LT-N027B, to level transmitters, B21-LT-7468A and B21-LT-7468B. This procedure violation caused an inaccurate reactor water level indication for approximately 40 minutes. The level indication inaccuracy degraded the plant operators ability to control the reactor vessel water level in the prescribed procedural band.

Analysis:

The disconnection of the reference leg flange of the reactor vessel head piping prior to realignment of level instrumentation as required by plant procedures is a performance deficiency. The performance deficiency was more than minor because it is associated with the configuration control attribute of the Mitigating Systems cornerstone because it inappropriately altered the reactor level instrumentation reference leg piping.

It affected the cornerstone objective of ensuring the availability, reliability, and capability of systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences. The inaccurate level indication degraded the operators ability to control the reactor vessel water level in the prescribed procedural band and would inhibit their ability to diagnose and prevent loss of residual heat removal (RHR) scenario. In accordance with NRC Inspection Manual Chapter (IMC) 0609, Appendix G, Shutdown Operations Significance Determination Process, Attachment 1, Checklist 8, the inspectors conducted a Phase 1 SDP screening and determined the finding required a Phase 2 analysis. The Phase 2 analysis determined the finding is of very low safety significance (Green) because adequate mitigation capability was maintained. The cause of this finding was directly related to the supervisory and management oversight cross-cutting aspect in the work practices component of the Human Performance cross-cutting area because plant supervisors failed to ensure an adequate pre-job brief, failed to enforce proper communications methods at the job site, and failed to properly supervise workers executing procedure steps (H.4(c)).

Enforcement:

TS 5.4.1, Administrative Control (Procedures), requires that written procedures shall be established, implemented, and maintained, covering applicable procedures recommended in Regulatory Guide 1.33, Appendix A, November 1972 (Safety Guide 33, November 1972).Section I.1 of Regulatory Guide 1.33, Appendix A, November 1972 (Safety Guide 33, November 1972) states that maintenance that can affect the performance of safety-related equipment should be properly planned and performed in accordance with written procedures, documented instructions, or drawings appropriate to the circumstances. In addition, Section B.10 of Regulatory Guide 1.33, Appendix A, November 1972 (Safety Guide 33, November 1972) states that procedures used in preparation for refueling, refueling equipment operation, and core alterations should be covered by written procedures. Contrary to the above, the licensee failed to follow the integrated operations and maintenance procedures which require the operators to swap level transmitters prior to removal of reactor water level piping. The removal of the reference leg piping, prior to swapping level transmitters, resulted in inaccurate Unit 1 reactor water level indication for approximately 40 minutes on February 28, 2010. Because the finding is of very low safety significance and has been entered in the CAP (NCR 383779), and consistent with the NRC Enforcement Policy, this violation is being treated as a non-cited violation, and is designated as NCV 05000325/2010002-01, Failure to Follow Procedures During Reactor Head Disassembly.

(2) Inadequate Risk Evaluation for Removing the 1A South Condenser from Service

Introduction:

The inspectors identified a Green NCV of 10 CFR Part 50.65 (a)(4),

Requirements for Monitoring the Effectiveness of Maintenance at Nuclear Power Plants, after Unit 1 experienced a loss of normal reactor feedwater as a result of an abnormal plant configuration during shutdown of the reactor on February 26, 2010. The licensee did not adequately assess the increase in risk that resulted when the 1B reactor feed pump (RFP) was made unavailable while the 1A south condenser was isolated in the hours leading up to the reactor shutdown. This plant configuration led to a high level in the 1A south condenser hotwell soon after the reactor shutdown, which prevented adequate draining of the 1A RFP turbine casing, and led to the loss of the 1A RFP. After the loss of normal feedwater to the reactor, the licensee restored reactor level using the reactor core isolation cooling (RCIC) system. The licensee entered the issue into its corrective action program (AR #383636).

Description:

On February 26, 2010, the licensee was preparing to shutdown Unit 1 for a refueling outage. At 4:30 p.m., the licensee shutdown the 1B RFP to expedite maintenance activities on the 1B RFP that were planned during the outage. After shutting down the 1B RFP, licensee personnel noted that the 1B RFP continued to rotate approximately 100 rpm and torqued shut the 1B RFP suction valve. The licensee torqued shut the 1B RFP suction valve because they suspected it was leaking by preventing the 1B RFP from stopping. Torquing shut the suction valve to the 1B RFP rendered the pump immediately unavailable to plant operators. At 5:03 p.m. on February 26, 2010, the licensee isolated the 1A south condenser to aid in identifying the location of a tube leak in the condenser. Isolating the 1A south condenser isolates the cooling water to the condenser and the condensate out of the condenser, resulting in an increased hotwell level in the 1A south condenser.

At 1:16 a.m. on February 27, 2010, operators inserted a manual scram per the normal shutdown procedure. After the scram, reactor water level dropped as expected due to the drop in steam flow from the reactor (shrink). Operators took manual control of the reactor feed system per procedure; however, the automatic response of the reactor level control system prior to taking manual control of the system resulted in reactor water level increasing to the high level setpoint. High reactor water level caused an automatic trip of the 1A RFP. Operators then restarted the 1A RFP, but tripped it again fifteen minutes later due to high turbine casing drain level. The high turbine casing drain level was the result of the 1A south condenser being isolated with the 1A RFP and the condensate booster pump minimum flow inputs still being directed into the 1A south condenser.

Having no RFPs available to maintain reactor water level, operators started the RCIC system and injected water into the reactor. Maintenance technicians were then dispatched to locally open the 1B RFP suction valve and 41 minutes after starting the RCIC system, the 1B RFP was started and put into service feeding the reactor. While the licensee did assess the risk of removing the 1B RFP from service using the Equipment Out of Service risk assessment tool, the licensee did not properly assess the risk of isolating the 1A south condenser with only the 1A RFP in service.

Analysis:

The failure to adequately assess the risk associated with equipment configuration during the Unit 1 shutdown is a performance deficiency. This finding is more than minor because it is associated with the initiating events cornerstone attribute of configuration control and it adversely affected the cornerstone objective of limiting the likelihood of those events that upset plant stability and challenge critical safety functions.

Specifically, plant stability was upset by the loss of normal feedwater to the reactor. In accordance with IMC 0609, Appendix K, Maintenance Risk Assessment and Risk Management Significance Determination Process, this finding is of very low safety significance (Green) because the Incremental Core Damage Probability Deficit is <E-6 and the Incremental Large Early Release Probability Deficit is <E-7. The inspectors determined that this finding had a cross-cutting aspect in the area of human performance, work control component, because the licensee did not appropriately plan work activities by incorporating risk insights (H.3(a)). Specifically, activities scheduled prior to the reactor shutdown were not properly evaluated to determine their impact on the normal reactor feedwater system.

Enforcement:

10 CFR Part 50.65 (a)(4) requires that, before performing maintenance activities, the licensee shall assess and manage the increase in risk that may result from the proposed maintenance activity. Contrary to the above, on February 26, 2010, the licensee failed to adequately assess the risk associated with isolating the 1A south condenser with only the 1A RFP available. Because this violation is of very low significance (Green) and was entered into the licensees corrective action program as AR #383636, this violation is being treated as an NCV, consistent with the NRC Enforcement Policy. The violation is designated as NCV 05000325/2010002-02, Inadequate Risk Evaluation for Removing the 1A South Condenser from Service.

RADIATION SAFETY

Public and Occupational Radiation Safety Cornerstones

2RS1 Radiological Hazard Assessment and Exposure Controls

a. Inspection Scope

Radiological Hazard Assessment and Exposure Controls. The inspectors evaluated licensee performance in assessing radiological hazards and controlling worker access to radiologically significant areas. The inspectors evaluated communications to the workers, contamination and radioactive material control, radiological hazard controls to include work coverage, controls and contingencies for risk significant high radiation and very high radiation areas, radiation worker practices and technician proficiency, and problem identification and resolution.

Radiological Hazard Assessment. During facility tours, the inspectors directly observed postings and physical controls for radiation areas, high radiation areas (HRAs), and potential airborne radioactivity areas established within the radiologically controlled area (RCA) of the reactor building, turbine building, and radioactive waste (radwaste)processing and storage locations. The inspectors independently measured radiation dose rates or directly observed conduct of licensee radiation surveys for selected RCA areas. Results were compared to current licensee surveys and assessed against established postings and Radiation Work Permit (RWP) controls. Licensee key control and access barrier effectiveness were evaluated for selected Locked High Radiation Area (LHRA) and Very High Radiation Area (VHRA) locations. Changes to procedural guidance for LHRA and VHRA controls were discussed with health physics (HP)supervisors. Controls and their implementation for storage of irradiated material within the spent fuel pool (SFP) were reviewed and discussed. In addition, licensee controls for areas where dose rates could change significantly because of plant shutdown and refueling operations were reviewed and discussed. The licensees deployment of constant air monitors was reviewed and the airborne radioactivity monitoring program was discussed.

Instructions to Workers. As part of the review, the inspectors reviewed the ALARA packages and RWPs for five major activities. These activities included control rod drive (CRD) change out, detensioning the reactor head, inboard main steam isolation valve (MSIV) repair, In-Service Inspections (ISI) and shielding. The inspectors observed radiation protection (RP) personnel providing entry briefings to workers. Container labeling was reviewed for legibility, currency and clarity in the reactor building, turbine building, radioactive waste processing areas and in the radiologically controlled areas of the yard.

Contamination and Radioactive Material Control. The inspectors observed the routine release of materials and personnel from the RCA. The sensitivity of the instrumentation was discussed with RP personnel. The inspectors reviewed the radioactive source inventory and verified the physical presence of the most radiologically significant sources. The inspectors reviewed a memo documenting the transmittal of database information submitted to the National Source Tracking System per 10 CFR 20.2207.

Radiological Hazards Control and Work Coverage. The inspectors reviewed radiological conditions for consistency with posted surveys, RWPs and worker briefings. The RP controls, including surveys, postings, contamination controls and RP job coverage was assessed. During the inspection the inspectors did not identify any work occurring in highly gradient fields that would require either multibadging or relocation of dosimetry, nor was there any work involving airborne radioactivity or internal exposures observed.

The inspectors observed job coverage being performed on the refueling floor and the controls for highly activated or contaminated materials stored underwater. The inspectors observed some work activities via closed circuit television. During tours the inspectors routinely checked postings and verified locking on areas with dose rates greater than 1000 mrem/hr at 30 cm from the source.

Risk-Significant High Radiation Areas and Very High Radiation Area Controls. The inspectors discussed the controls for high risk HRAs and VHRAs with the Radiation Protection Manager. The procedures that would be implemented where conditions had changed or were reasonably expected to change resulting in the creation of HRAs, LHRAs or VHRAs were discussed with one of the operational RP Supervisors.

Radiation Workers and Technicians. The inspectors observed radiation worker performance and Technician proficiency during tours of plant areas. The inspectors reviewed corrective action program (CAP) documents identifying radiation worker performance issues and RP technician proficiency. The inspectors reviewed the corrective action documents for determination of reporting threshold, as well as adequacy of resolution of the reported problems. The review included evaluation of 34 electronic dosimeter alarms to determine if the identified events constituted exceeding the performance indicator reporting thresholds.

Radiation protection activities were evaluated against the requirements of UFSAR Section 12; TSs 5.7.1 and 5.7.2; 10 CFR Parts 19 and 20; and approved licensee procedures. Records reviewed are listed in Section RS01 of the Attachment.

Problem Identification and Resolution. Licensee CAP documents associated with access control to radiologically significant areas were reviewed and assessed. This included review of selected Condition Reports (CRs) related to radiation worker and HP technician performance. The inspectors evaluated the licensees ability to identify, characterize, prioritize, and resolve the identified issues in accordance with procedure CAP-NGGC-200, Corrective Action Program, Rev. 29. The inspectors also evaluated the scope of the licensees internal audit program and reviewed recent assessment results. Licensee CAP documents reviewed are listed in Attachment.

The inspectors completed the one required sample described in Inspection Procedure (IP) 71124.01.

b. Findings

No findings of significance were identified.

2RS4 Occupational Dose Assessment

The inspectors evaluated current Radiation Protection (RP) program activities and results associated with internal and external radiation exposure monitoring of occupational workers. The review included program guidance, equipment and changes, as applicable; quality assurance activities, results, and responses to identified issues; and individual dose results for occupational workers.

External Dosimetry The inspectors reviewed and discussed RP program guidance for monitoring external and internal radiation exposures of occupational workers. The inspectors verified National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program (NVLAP)certification data and discussed program guidance for storage, processing and results for active and passive personnel dosimeters currently in use. Comparisons between direct reading dosimeter (DRD) and thermoluminescent dosimeter (TLD) data were reviewed and discussed.

Internal Dosimetry Program guidance, instrument detection capabilities, and select results for the internally deposited radionuclides were reviewed in detail. The inspectors reviewed routine termination and follow-up in vivo (Whole Body Count) analyses, as well as, in vitro bioassays conducted for tritium monitoring for divers in calendar year (CY)2009. In addition, guidance for collection and conduct of special bioassay sampling were discussed in detail.

Special Dosimetric Situations: The inspectors reviewed monitoring conducted and results for special dosimetric situations. The methodology and results of monitoring occupational workers within non-uniform external dose fields were evaluated. In addition, the adequacy of dosimetry program guidance and its implementation were reviewed for shallow dose assessments and supporting calculations for three separate discrete radioactive particle skin contamination events which occurred during the previous refueling outage. Neutron monitoring conducted for a February 7, 2010, Unit 2 at power drywell entry was reviewed and discussed. The inspectors reviewed monitoring conducted, and results for three declared pregnant workers documented in licensee records since January 1, 2008. In addition, proficiency of RP staff involved in conducting skin dose assessments, neutron monitoring, and WBC equipment operations were evaluated through direct interviews, onsite observations, and review and discussions of completed records and supporting data.

Corrective Action Program (CAP) Review The inspectors reviewed and discussed selected Corrective Action Program (CAP) documents associated with occupational dose assessment. The reviewed items included Nuclear Condition Report (NCR), self-assessment, and quality assurance audit documents. The inspectors evaluated the licensees ability to identify, characterize, prioritize, and resolve identified issues in accordance with licensee procedure Corrective Action Program (CAP) CAP-NGGC-0200, Corrective Action Program, Revision (Rev.) 29.

RP program occupational dose assessment guidance and activities were evaluated against the requirements of the Updated Final Safety Analysis Report (UFSAR) Section 12; Technical Specifications (TS) Sections 5.4 and 5.7; 10 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Parts 19 and 20; and approved licensee procedures. Records reviewed are listed in Section 2RS4 of the Attachment.

The inspectors completed all specified line-items detailed in Inspection Procedure (IP)71124.04.

b. Findings

No findings of significance were identified.

2RS5 Radiation Monitoring Instrumentation

a. Inspection Scope

Radiation Monitoring Instrumentation During tours of the reactor buildings, spent fuel pool areas, and radiation control area (RCA) exit point, the inspectors observed installed radiation detection equipment including the following instrument types: area radiation monitors (ARM), continuous air monitors (CAM), personnel contamination monitors (PCM), small article monitors (SAM), portal monitors (PM), and liquid and gaseous effluent monitors. The inspectors observed the physical location of the components, noted the material condition, and compared sensitivity ranges with UFSAR requirements.

In addition to equipment walk-downs, the inspectors observed source checks and alarm setpoint testing of various portable and fixed detection instruments, including ion chambers, telepoles, neutron detectors, PCMs, SAMs, and portal monitors. The inspectors reviewed the last two calibration records for selected ARMs, PCMs, portal monitors, SAMs, and containment high-range ARMs and the most recent calibration record for a whole body counter. Calibration source documentation was reviewed for the ARM high-range calibrator and the Cs-137 source used for portable instrument checks.

The inspectors reviewed alarm setpoint values for selected ARMs, PCMs, portal monitors, SAMs, and effluent monitors. Calibration stickers on portable survey instruments were noted during inspection of storage areas for 'ready-to-use' equipment.

The most recent 10 CFR Part 61 analysis for dry active waste (DAW) was reviewed to determine if calibration and check sources are representative of the plant source term.

The inspectors also reviewed count room quality assurance records for germanium detectors and liquid scintillation detectors.

Operability and reliability of selected radiation detection instruments were reviewed against details documented in the following: 10 CFR Part 20; NUREG-0737, Clarification of TMI Action Plan Requirements; TS Section 3; UFSAR Chapters 11 and 12; and applicable licensee procedures. Documents reviewed during the inspection are listed in sections 2RS5 and 2RS6 of the Attachment.

Problem Identification and Resolution The inspectors reviewed selected NCRs in the area of radiological instrumentation. The inspectors evaluated the licensees ability to identify and resolve the issues in accordance with procedure CAP-NGGC-0200, Corrective Action Program, Rev. 29.

2RS6 Radioactive Gaseous and Liquid Effluent Treatment

.1 Baseline Inspections

a. Inspection Scope

Program Reviews: The inspectors evaluated gaseous and liquid effluent treatment system waste storage, processing, and release activities. The evaluation included a review and discussion of procedural guidance and changes to the effluent treatment systems as detailed in the ODCM, UFSAR, and 50.59 screening/review documents issued since January 1, 2008. In addition, Annual Radiological Effluent Release Report (ARERR) documents for calendar year (CY) 2008 and CY 2009 were reviewed for trends in the liquid and gaseous effluent release data reported. Operability issues and program evaluations associated with processing and storage of high conductivity radioactive liquids were discussed in detail with responsible staff. Quality assurance program activities including review of inter-laboratory comparison results and recent audit results and licensee actions were reviewed and discussed.

Equipment Walk downs: The inspectors walked down selected components of the gaseous and liquid discharge systems to ascertain material condition, configuration and alignment. To the extent practical, the inspector observed the material condition of abandoned in place liquid waste processing equipment for indications of degradation or leakage that could constitute a possible release pathway to the environment. The walk downs included material condition and configuration of tanks, piping, valves and liquid waste radiation monitors, a material condition review of a steam jet air ejector sampling skid, U1 wide range gas monitor (WRGM), U2 once through ventilation sampling skid and monitor, and stand-by gas treatment system (SBGT). The inspectors reviewed surveillances for the SBGT and walked down the filter housings to ascertain material condition. The inspectors observed the material condition of portable instrumentation that would give early indication of an unexpected effluent release to include continuous air monitors, and telemetric dose rate instrumentation used for monitoring various rad waste processes.

Effluents: The inspectors reviewed the administrative controls for the release of liquids and gaseous effluents. The inspectors observed routine release permit preparation activities including the administrative activities at the control room, flow rate determination, air sampling in the unit 1 turbine building, the subsequent counting and computer data entry and the dose evaluation when a permit was closed. The licensees 10 CFR 61 analysis was reviewed for expected nuclide distribution from the aspects of quantifying effluents and the treatment of hard to detect nuclides. The inspectors evaluated the effects of changing ventilation alignments on gaseous effluents released from the turbine building (TB).

Ground Water Protection: The licensees implementation of the Industry Ground Water Protection Initiative was reviewed for consistency with the industry commitments outlined in NEI 07-07. Changes to the ODCM and UFSAR related to surface water evaporation and the potential for groundwater intrusion from the storm drain stabilization pond were reviewed and discussed. This review included review of documentation of onsite monitoring in wells, electrical vaults, manholes, and holding ponds. The review also included discussion with plant personnel about suspected leaks and spills at or below the reporting criteria. The inspectors reviewed the 10 CFR 50.59

(g) records for the period of January 2007 to January 2010. The follow-up to the commitment to establish a ground water protection program is documented in section 4OA5.

Effluent treatment and release activities were evaluated against the guidance detailed in NUREG-1302; Regulatory Guide (RG) 1.109, RG 1.21 and RG 4.1; TS Sections 5.5.1, 5.5.4, and 5.5.7; UFSAR Section 11; and 10 CFR Part 20 and Part 50. Documents reviewed are listed in sections 2RS5, 2RS6 and 2RS7 of the Attachment.

The Inspectors completed all line items detailed in IP 71124.06.

.2 (Closed) Unresolved Item 05000325,324/2008003-01. Evaluate Representativeness of

Particulate Sampling for the Reactor Building Roof Vent Monitors, Turbine Building Wide Range Gas Monitors, and Plant Stack Wide Range Gas Monitors

a. Inspection Scope

Instrumentation and Equipment. The inspectors performed an in-office review and evaluation of documentation provided by the licensee concerning the representativeness of radioactive particulate sampling by the sampling skids used to monitor gaseous effluent releases from the turbine building ventilation system, reactor building vent, and the plant stack. Previously, the inspectors identified one or more tee connections and/or elbows on the inlet side of the particulate sample filter on each of the specified sampling skids during plant walk downs. Because the licensee had no evaluation of the impact of these bends on the transmission of particles through the sampling lines, unresolved item (URI) 05000325,324/2008003-01 was opened.

In an effort to determine the amount of particulate deposition along the sampling lines of the sample skids for the Unit 1 and 2 reactor buildings, the turbine building ventilation, and the plant stack, the licensee used the computer code Deposition 2001a (DEPO 2001a), an industry recognized software program for calculating sampling line losses.

Each vent was analyzed using standard configurations for input such as ambient temperature, ambient pressure, flow rate, free stream velocity, and particle diameter.

The measurements for the reactor building vent sampling lines were obtained from engineering drawings. The licensee selected a particle size of 0.3 microns, as it was believed to be the most predominant particle size. However, no actual particle size studies were performed. The output from the DEPO 2001a code indicated a minimum of 99.9% of the particles were transmitted through the sampling lines.

Although routine testing (i.e. dispersed oil particulate (DOP) testing) of the high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters on each system was not performed, the licensee demonstrated that a particle size of less than 0.3 microns could be supported for effluent streams to the turbine building ventilation system and the plant stack. Specifically, the differential pressure on the turbine building ventilation system HEPA filters and charcoal filter is monitored when the system is in use; filter efficiency is evaluated when the differential pressure falls outside of procedurally defined values. Similarly, gaseous effluents to the plant vent are processed through the Augmented Off-Gas (AOG) system, the purpose of which is to prevent the release of air entrained particulate contaminants to the environment. The system accomplishes this through the use of a 30-minute holdup volume and a HEPA filter. Although not routinely tested at the time of the inspection, a differential pressure test of the AOG HEPA filter for each unit was completed satisfactorily on February 15, 2010. A quarterly surveillance will be performed in the future.

However, the licensee was unable to provide any documentation or other basis to demonstrate representative sampling from the reactor building roof vent.

b. Findings

Introduction:

The inspectors identified a Green NCV of 10 CFR 20.1302(a) for failure to ensure surveys of particulate radioactive materials in effluents released to unrestricted areas from the reactor building roof vent were adequate to demonstrate compliance with dose limits for individual members of the public. This issue was initially identified as an unresolved item following an inspection in June 2008. The licensee entered this issue into its corrective action program as AR #292216, and after further review by the inspector, the licensee initiated AR #393340.

Description:

During walk-downs and discussions regarding the reactor building vent monitor sampling line operating characteristics, the inspectors identified concerns associated with sample representativeness for particulate radioactive material collected to continuously monitor gaseous effluents in accordance with Offsite Dose Calculation Manual Table 7.3.7-1. Specifically, the inspectors identified tee connections and elbows on the inlet side of the particulate sample filter of the reactor building vent monitor.

Regulatory Guide 1.21, Measuring, Evaluating, and Reporting Radioactivity in Solid Wastes and Releases of Radioactive Materials in Liquid and Gaseous Effluents from Light Water Cooled Nuclear Power Plants, states that effluent monitoring is required to demonstrate compliance with technical specifications and/or 10 CFR Part 20 effluents limits. It further states that a sample should be representative of the bulk stream of effluent from which it is taken and that the general principles for obtaining valid samples of airborne radioactive material are contained in ANSI N13.1-1969. ANSI N13.1-1969, Guide to Sampling Airborne Radioactive Material in Nuclear Facilities, specifies that elbows in sampling lines should be avoided and that to estimate the total fractional line loss due to gravitational settling, turbulent flow, and other types of deposition, the depletion of each particle size must be determined.

The licensee used the code DEPO 2001a to calculate the sampling line losses.

However, because there is no filtration for the reactor building vent, and because no evaluation was performed to determine the typical particle size distribution in the reactor building, the inspectors concluded that the evaluation was based on an unsupported particle size assumption of 0.3 microns.

Analysis:

The failure to ensure that the reactor building roof vent effluents were adequately monitored is a performance deficiency. This finding is more than minor because it is associated with the Public Radiation Safety Cornerstone attribute of Plant Facilities/Equipment and Instrumentation (Process Radiation Monitors) and adversely affects the cornerstone objective. Specifically, the cornerstone objective of providing assurance that adequate protection of public health and safety from exposure to radioactive materials released into the public domain as a result of routine civilian reactor operation was affected because the licensee did not ensure that reactor building effluents were accurately monitored. The finding was evaluated using the Public Radiation Safety SDP and determine to be very low safety significance. The finding, which involved the effluent release program, was determined to be of very low safety significance (Green) because it was not a failure to implement the effluent program and did not result in public dose exceeding the 10 CFR 50 Appendix I criterion or 10 CFR 20.1301(e). This finding does not have a cross-cutting aspect because the failure to evaluate the effect of line losses on particulate sampling is a historical issue. (Section 2RS6)

Enforcement:

10 CFR 20.1302(a) requires licensees to make surveys of radioactive materials in effluents released to unrestricted areas to demonstrate compliance with the dose limits for individual members of the public. Regulatory Guide 1.21 states that effluent monitoring is required to demonstrate compliance with technical specifications and/or 10 CFR Part 20 effluents limits and that ANSI N13.1-1969 provides general principles for obtaining valid samples of airborne radioactive materials. ANSI N13.1-1-1969 specifies that elbows in sampling lines should be avoided and that to estimate the fractional line loss the depletion of each particle size must be determined. Contrary to the above, the licensee failed to determine the line loss through the sampling line and elbows as a function of known particle sizes for the reactor building vent monitor skids.

Because the failure to determine the line loss fraction was determined to be of very low safety significance and has been entered into the licensees corrective action program (AR 292216292216and AR 393340393340, this violation is being treated as an NCV, consistent with the NRC Enforcement Policy: NCV 05000325,324/2010002-03, Failure to Ensure Representative Sampling of Particulate Effluents Released from the Reactor Building Roof Vent.

2RS7 Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program (REMP)

a. Inspection Scope

REMP Implementation The inspectors reviewed and discussed data detailed in the Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report (AREOR) documents submitted for calendar year (CY) 2007 and CY 2008. ODCM Changes to the ODCM implemented since January 1, 2007, were reviewed and evaluated for their impact on program activities and reported results.

The inspectors observed selected environmental monitoring program sample collection and monitoring activities as specified in the licensees ODCM. The inspectors observed material condition and verified weekly airborne particulate filter and iodine cartridge sampling equipment flow rates and total volumes for selected atmospheric sampling stations. The location and material condition of select environmental TLDs were verified by direct observation. Land use census results, missed samples, and changes to the ODCM and sample collection/processing activities were discussed with environmental technicians and knowledgeable licensee staff. The inspectors conducted walkdowns and discussed licensee evaluations of selected system structures and components containing licensed material for potential leakage to groundwater, and also reviewed 10 CFR 50.75 files as part of Temporary Instruction 2515/173 as documented in section 4OA5 of the report.

The inspectors reviewed calibration and maintenance surveillance records for the installed environmental air sampling stations air flow and totalizer equipment. Inter-laboratory cross-check program results, and changes to current procedural guidance for environmental sample collection and processing were reviewed and discussed.

Selected environmental measurements were reviewed for consistency with licensee effluent data and evaluated for radionuclide concentration trends. The inspectors independently verified detection level sensitivity requirements for surface water tritium quantitative radionuclide analyses.

Procedural guidance, program implementation, quantitative analysis sensitivities, and environmental monitoring results were reviewed against 10 CFR Part 20; Appendix I to 10 CFR Part 50; TS Sections 5.5.1, and 5.5.4; ODCM; RG 4.15, Quality Assurance for Radiological Monitoring Programs (Normal Operation) - Effluent Streams and the Environment; and the Branch Technical Position, An Acceptable Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program - 1979.

Meteorological Monitoring Program The inspectors toured the site meteorological tower location and directly observed local data collection equipment readouts. The inspectors observed the physical condition of the tower and its surrounding environs; and reviewed and discussed equipment operability and maintenance history with responsible licensee staff. The inspectors evaluated transmission of locally generated meteorological data to the main control room operators. For the meteorological measurements of wind speed, wind direction, and temperature, the inspectors reviewed applicable calibration records for tower instrumentation and evaluated measurement data recovery for calendar years 2008 and 2009. In addition, the inspectors discussed licensee actions to confirm the accuracy of meteorological data transmission to the licensees Emergency Offsite Facilities and to the NRC Operations Center.

Licensee procedures and activities related to meteorological monitoring were evaluated against: ODCM; UFSAR; RG 1.23, Meteorological Monitoring Programs For Nuclear Power Plants, and ANSI/ANS-2.5-1984, Standard for Determining Meteorological Information at Nuclear Power Sites. Documents reviewed are listed in Section 2RS7 of the Attachment.

Problem Identification and Resolution The inspectors reviewed selected NCRs in the areas of environmental monitoring, meteorological monitoring, and release of materials.

The inspectors evaluated the licensees ability to identify, characterize, prioritize, and resolve the identified issues in accordance with CAP-NGGC-0200, Corrective Action Program, Rev. 29. The inspectors also evaluated the scope of the licensees internal audit program and reviewed recent assessment results. Documents reviewed are listed in sections 2RS6, 2RS7 and 4OA5 in the Attachment. The inspectors completed all specified line-item samples detailed in IP 71124.07.

b. Findings

No findings of significance were identified.

4OA1 Performance Indicator (PI) Verification

.1 Initiating Events Cornerstone

• Unplanned scrams per 7000 Critical Hours

• Unplanned power changes per 7000 Critical Hours

• Unplanned scrams with complications The inspectors sampled licensee submittals for the performance indicators listed above for the period from the first quarter 2009 through the fourth quarter 2009. The inspectors reviewed the licensees operator narrative logs, issue reports, event reports and NRC inspection reports for the period to validate the accuracy of the submittals.

b. Findings

No findings of significance were identified.

.2 Occupational Radiation Safety Cornerstone

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors reviewed the Occupational Exposure Control Effectiveness PI results for the Occupational Radiation Safety Cornerstone from January 2009 to March 2010. For the assessment period, the inspectors reviewed Electronic Dosimeter (ED) alarm logs and selected Nuclear Condition Reports (NCRs) related to controls for exposure significant areas. The inspectors also reviewed licensee procedural guidance for collecting and documenting PI data. Documents reviewed are listed in Section RS1 and 4OA1 of the Attachment.

b. Findings

No findings of significance were identified.

.3 Public Radiation Safety Cornerstone

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors reviewed the Radiological Effluent Technical Specification/Offsite Dose Calculation Manual Radiological Effluent Occurrences PI results from January through December 2009. The inspectors reviewed CAP documents, effluent dose data, and licensee procedural guidance for classifying and reporting PI events. The inspectors also interviewed licensee personnel responsible for collecting and reporting the PI data.

On February 9, 2010, the inspectors observed sample collection, release permit generation and closeout dose calculations being performed. Reviewed documents are listed in Section 4OA1 of the Attachment.

b. Findings

No findings of significance were identified.

4OA2 Identification and Resolution of Problems

.1 Routine Review of Items Entered Into the Corrective Action Program

a. Inspection Scope

To aid in the identification of repetitive equipment failures or specific human performance issues for follow-up, the inspectors performed frequent screenings of items entered into the licensees corrective action program. The review was accomplished by reviewing daily action request reports.

b. Findings

No findings of significance were identified.

4OA3 Follow-up of Events

.1 Licensee Declaration of an Unusual Event - February 19, 2010

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors reviewed the plants response to an inadvertent actuation of the CO2 fire suppression system in the high pressure coolant injection (HPCI) system room in the Unit 1 reactor building on February 19, 2010. The CO2 fire suppression system actuation occurred when a plant worker bumped a manual pull station actuator in an adjacent room, which caused the main CO2 bank to discharge into the HPCI room.

Inspectors determined that the CO2 system actuation did not affect the operability or availability of any risk-significant plant equipment. The licensee entered the issue into its corrective action program (AR #382296).

b. Findings

No findings of significance were identified.

.2 Licensee Declaration of an Unusual Event - March 26, 2010

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors reviewed the plants response to a small fire in the Unit 1 turbine building, which resulted in an NRC notification of an unusual event due to the fire lasting for more than 15 minutes. The fire was initiated by a post-weld heat treating blanket, which electrically shorted and caused a small amount of combustible tape to smolder. Unit 1 was shutdown at the time of the fire. Inspectors determined that the fire did not have the potential to affect areas of the plant containing safe-shutdown equipment or upset plant stability while the plant was in mode 5. The licensee entered the issue into its corrective action program (AR #389643).

b. Findings

No findings of significance were identified.

4OA5 Other Activities

.1 Quarterly Resident Inspector Observations of Security Personnel and Activities

a. Inspection Scope

During the inspection period the inspectors conducted observations of security force personnel and activities to ensure that the activities were consistent with licensee security procedures and regulatory requirements relating to nuclear plant security.

These observations took place during both normal and off-normal plant working hours.

These quarterly resident inspector observations of security force personnel and activities did not constitute any additional inspection samples. Rather, they were considered an integral part of the inspectors' normal plant status reviews and inspection activities.

b. Findings

No findings of significance were identified.

.2 (Closed) Temporary Instruction 2515/173 Review of the Implementation of the Industry
