SEQUOYAH NUCLEAR POWER PLANT Design Baseline and Verification Program Inspection Report 50-327/86-55 & 50-328/86-55 November 3-7, 17-21, and December 1-4, 1986 1.
INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND The Design Baseline and Verification Program (DBVP) was developed by the Division of Nuclear Engineering (DNE) to resolve design control issues de-scribed in several TVA sponsored evaluations and audits and NRC inspections.
The Sequoyah Nuclear Plant (SQN) Design Baseline and Verification Program will be used by TVA to provide the required level of confidence that the modifica-tions to selected plant systems, implemented since receipt of the operating license, have not resulted in any violation of the plant's licensing basis. The program is described in the " Program Plan for the Engineering Assurance Inde-pendent Oversight Review for the Sequoyah Nuclear Plant Design Baseline and Verification Program," dated May 9, 1986 and forwarded to the NRC as an enclo-sure to Mr. R. L. Gridley's letter dated June 27, 1986.
2.
PURPOSE This report summarizes the results of the third NRC inspection conducted to assess the adequacy of TVA's Design Baseline and Verification Program (DBVP) to support restart of Sequoyah Nuclear Plant.
NRC inspection report 50-327/86-38 and 50-328/86-38 summarized the NRC's review of TVA's overall DBVP plan and scope, TVA's procedures for DBVP project review and engineering assurance (EA) oversight, TVA's preparation of system walkdown packages within the DBVP scope, and the NRC's preliminary review of TVA's design criteria for FSAR Chapter 15 safety-related systems within the scope of the DBVP.
NRC inspection report 50-327/86-45 and 50-328/86-45 summarized the NRC's review of TVA's compilation and implementation of the commitment / requirement (C/R)
data base, the design criteria which TVA prepared to support SQN restart, and the adequacy of EA's independent oversight review of C/Rs and design criteria.
The purpose of this inspection was to:
(1) Assess the adequacy of the DBVP project's ECN review.
(2) Assess the adequacy of EA's oversight of the DBVP project.
(3) Perform an independent technical evaluation of an ECN sample that DBVP project reviewed, and a sample of ECNs that EA also reviewed in order to assess the adequacy of program implementation and oversight by EA.
(4) Review the adequacy of TVA's actions regarding (1), the deficiencies and unresolved items detailed in NRC inspection reports Nos. 50-327/86-27 and 50-328/86-27; and (2), the observations identified in NRC inspection reports Nos. 50-327/86-38 and 50-328/86-38, and 50-327/86-45 and l
50-328/86-45.

If a CAQ exists, then the DBVP initiates a problem identification report (PIR).
The DBVP project has written a number of generic PIRs that identify the same deficiencies in different ECNs.
For example, civil / structural DBVP project has written PIR SQNCEB8639 to identify 98 different ECNs with missing calculations.
PIRs have also been identified relating to distinct technical issues which correspond to unique DBVP Punch List items.

Their review The action included the evaluation of calculations for technical adequacy.
items written by EA show that their findings were also mostly related to poor documentation. The review of calculations identified certain discrepancies between calculations and drawings. The EA action items were not considered indicative of a major deficiency in implementation of the DBVP.
The limited review by EA did not identify any major technical issues.
In the electrical power discipline, EA had reviewed approximately 25 ECNs and six test packages and generated 77 action items.
One action item, relating to the need to monitor performance of a new diesel generator room ventilation system, may result in hardware changes.
The team considers that the EA action items have enhanced the implementation of the DBVP in the electric power area.

4.3 Inspection of Engineering Change Notices The team inspected the DBVP project's and EA's ECN review efforts by selecting These ECNs had been a sample of ECNs for independent technical review.Some of these ECNs had also be reviewed by the DBVP project.
In addition to reviewing this sample of ECNs to assess the DBVP's implementa-tion of SQEP-11 and -12 procedural requirements, the team also performed an independent technical review of selected calculations which supported the ECNs.
The team identified the following observations regarding design modification program:

During a review of ECN-L6202, which added level switches to the component cooling water surge tank, the team noted that the integrity of the surge tank internal baffle plate that provides independence between redundant CCS water volumes had not been periodically confirmed by either test or inspection (Observation No. 6.12).
TVA analysis SQN-0SG7-038 was issued to justify the connection of unqualified loads to Class 1E buses in response to environmental qualification requirements stated in 10CFR50.49 section b(2).
Two ECNs issued in 1983 and early 1985 deleted Class 1E qualification requirements for the control rod drive mechanism and lower compartment cooling fan motors. When the TVA analysis was subse-quently prepared in late 1985 and revised in mid-1986, it did not include these unqualified loads (Observation No. 6.11).
The team also noted that the TVA design criteria document for power, signal, and control cables in Category I structures (SQN-DC-V-11.3) contained incorrect temperature values for environ-mental qualification (Observation No. 6.9).

2.1 DBVP Project and EA Reviews of Changes The DBVP Project was in the process of reviewing the changes within the bounda-ries of TVA Calculation SQN-0867-048. The NRC team reviewed the DBVP project evaluation of ECNs and FCNs for the essential raw cooling water, component cooling water, diesel fuel oil, diesel starting air, and HVAC systems.
This was done primarily by reviewing project evaluations conducted in accor-dance with SQEP-12 and by discussions with the TVA system engineers.
In many cases the system engineers had completed preparation of one page summaries for each ECN, covering a description of their review effort and their findings.
The NRC team noted that the These summaries were very useful to the NRC team.
DBVP project review had not found any changes with a substantial technical Most DBVP findings involved missing deficiency in the mechanical systems area.
information, such as test results or seismic calculations.
The DBVP project issues Problem Identification Requests (PIRs) for such items, which in turn may result in Significant Condition Reports (SCRs).
Typical findings included:
(1) DBVP Finding Requiring Test Valve Replacement During issue of Drawing 47W5150-17, a test connection valve that is part of containment isolation piping was specified as ASME Section III, Class 3, instead of the required specification of ASME Section III, Class 2.
Corrective action included replacement of The cause was a drafting error.
the valve before entering Mode 4.
This DBVP finding is reported in SCR SQNMEB8665.
(2) DBVP Finding Concerning TVA Quality Class Requirements
'
Filter pressure regulators for supply air to the combustible gas control hydrogen analyzers per ECN 5444 do not meet the requirements of TVA Class C, are not designated Seismic Category I and do not meet QA requirements (SCR SQNMEB8667).
(3) DBVP Findings Requiring Additional Testing During an evaluation of a diesel generator lube oil modification, ECN L5451, it was found that although testing was performed to verify equip-ment added per the ECN functioned correctly, sufficient testing was not done to verify that the modification would perform its desired functions at all conditions.
PIR SQNMEB8665 was issued and remarked that formal testing at all conditions needs to be performed and documented in order to A similar supplement and verify the vendor provided package design.
finding identifying the need for further testing due to the addition of a sample cooling loop to the post accident sampling system was identified in Another finding concerning lack of post-modification PIR SQNMEB8671.
testing of dampers per ECN L5422 and Work Plan 9341 was identified by the DBVP (SCR SQNMEB8645).
In another case, DBVP identified the lack of vibrational testing of new fans replaced for environmental qualification reasons while the pre-operational test scoping documents for the HVAC systems require

(4) DBVP Finding Related to Drawing Errors Balancing dampers and filters were not shown on Drawing 47 W866-9.
This was discovered in the SQEP-19 walkdown package.
Valve 2-59-522 in the demineralized water system, shown as a gate valve on drawings and bills of material, is a globe valve in the plant.
Valve 2-59-529, shown as a ball valve, is a globe valve in the plant.
In another case ECN5573 was can-celled, but the "As-designed" drawings were not revised back to the original condition.
2.2 Engineering Assurance Review of ECNs The TVA Engineering Assurance oversight team is conducting an independent review by sampling DBVP activities.
This has resulted in action items being issued by the mechanical and nuclear engineering. discipline of EA.
The NRC team noted that neither EA mechanical nor nuclear had found a substantial technical deficiency in their reviews.
The mechanical discipline of EA has issued approximately 44 action items (AIs).
The AI is structured to state a Potential Concern / Question and requires a corrective action response from DBVP.
The inspection team reviewed the Als and found them to be mostly administrative in nature, without any AI reporting a significant concern for the technical adequacy of a change.
The Als dealt primarily with the need for clarification of scope of the DBVP effort, the need for thoroughness and completeness of review, guidance in carrying out the project evaluations and identification of administrative deficiencies.
The EA oversight review is contributing to the overall quality of the DBVP product.
This is illustrated in the action taken in response to AI M6.
Action Item M6 expressed concern that, although the project will include checking the design review attributes of Attachment 2 to SQEP-12, the project will not review drawing and calculations to assure they have been addressed adequately, e.g., they will check that a calculation is complete and addresses the change, but not that it is correct.
The corrective action by project is to require that documents, including calculations, be reviewed for adequacy by assuring that the change has been addressed. This included assuring that the appropriate design considerations, inputs and interfaces are evident; including resulting effects on other systems, components, etc.
This response falls short of a full check of the document for adequacy, however it shows that EA favors a
more thorough evaluation of ECNs.
2.3 Team Review of ECNs During the inspection period, the NRC team examined ECNs and work packages for several systems, including; essential cooling water, component cooling water, diesel fuel oil, diesel starting air, control air, ventilation, air condition-ing, residual heat removal, and chemical and volume control.
The team reviewed seven ECNs and other documentation for the component cooling water system (CCS).
CCS heat loads and flow requirements are specified in the A-3

Attachment A - Insp;cticn Activitics and Observations review of the ECN identified the need for documentation qualifying the soft seats for this level of radiation (Action Item M32).
The team noted that there have been several ECNs to replace portions of ERCW carbon steel piping with stainless steel piping.
This is being done due to corrosion and deposit buildup in the piping that can reduce flow below minimum requirements.
Piping is being replaced on an as-needed basis.
Control of the flow effects of piping replacement is accomplished by annual surveillance test SI 566.
This test measures and evaluates ERCW flow through all components cooled by ERCW and results are used to evaluate where and when corrosion is limiting flow.
No observations were identified relating to these ECNs.
The inspection team reviewed several ECNs modifying the diesel generators.
ECN 5417 adds dryers to the starting air system.
This is an improvement recom-mended by most vendors.
ECN 5451 modified the diesel engine lube oil system to provide continuous lubrication of the turbocharger.
The modification was made at the recommendation of the diesel generator vendor to correct a deficiency that could result in a high failure rate of the turbocharger bearing. The retrofit was essentially a design and equipment provided by the vendor.
The work plans implementing the plan were reviewed.
Exceptions were noted and reported by the DBVP project.
PIRs were issued to:
(1) Check lube oil performance per vendor's maintenance instruction MI 9644.
(2) Calculate the effect of increased heat loads on the diesel generator room.
(3) Correct documentation discrepancies.
The inspection team also reviewed the following ECNs which modified containment isolation motor operated valves for reasons primarily associated with electri-cal qualification.
ECN6667 and ECN6697. These ECNs required removal of clutch tripper fingers.
This results in no change in the automatic function of the valves.
The modi-fied valve requires two persons to manually open or close the valve as the second person is required to maintain the valve declutched from the motor.
ECN6665. This ECN removed existing motor brakes and regeared the operator for slower speed.
Speeds are to ue maintained at the present maximum stroke times allowed by Technical Specifications.
The brakes, which were installed to prevent high speed closure damage, were unable to be environmentally qualified.
The inspection team noted that the work plans for these ECNs correctly identi-fied the need to functionally test the modification using the appropriate SQN surveillance instruction.
The inspection team also reviewed several ECNs for the Chemical and Volume Control System (CVCS). This review identified one ECN of significance with respect to functionality.
ECN 6024 authorized the change out of charging pump impellers with impellers that produce a higher head.
The replacement impellers are identical to those supplied for Watts Bar.
The basis for this change is anticipated wear and interchangeability between plants.
The ECN is unimple-mented, but remains an open authorization to replace impellers when and if it is determined to be necessary.
TVA did consider the impact of increased horsepower when ordering the new impellers from the vendor.
The increase is within the 1.15 service factor of the motor.
Diesel loading calculations were based on the motor being operated at the 1.15 service factor.

The inspection team was informed that TVA plans to revise the FSAR when new CCS heat exchangers are installed per ECN L6429 and L6474 after restart. The team considers that the FSAR should be revised prior to heat exchanger replacement in order to reflect restart with lower minimum essential raw cooling water flow rates, revision to SI 566 and partially plugged CCS heat exchangers.
ECN L6520 revises and reduces essential raw cooling water flow to the containment spray heat exchangers to less than the flows shown in the FSAR. This section of the FSAR should also be revised.
Observation No. 2.5 - Reactor Coolant System Design Criteria vs. Technical Specification (Four Loop Operation)
During a review of EA action items, the NRC team noted that item N-29 identi-fied an inconsistency between the plant Design Criteria SQN-DC-V-27.4 and the Technical Specifications.
The design criteria indicates that the plant can be operated with a minimum of two loops.
The Technical Specification states that all four loops are required for startup and operation.
The project responded that the inconsistency should be allowed to remain because the Technical Specifications will govern plant operation and that the plant was designed for inactive loop operation.
Thus, the plant would not need any modification to be operated with less than four loops.
EA accepted the reasoning of the project and closed the Action Item without any change to the Design Criteria.
The team reviewed the EA Action Item and concluded that the Technical Specifi-cation limitation was based on the inability of plant to meet the coastdown flow requirements for proper core cooling (maintain the departure from nucleate boiling ratio greater than 1.3) when tripped from three loop operation.
Therefore, the plant is not designed for less than four loop operation.
The i
Design Criteria gives the false impression that the plant can be operated with less than four loops.
EA has agreed to reopen the Action Item N-29 and requested that the project modify the Design Criteria.
Observation No. 2.6 - Flow Rate Assumption used in Calculation During the team's review of ECNs related to the residual heat removal system it was noted that ECN-L6673 requires that a variety of design conditions shown on flow diagrams for the same section of piping be corrected to a single set of i
conditions.
The particular piping is the suction manifold for the residual heat removal, containment spray, chemical and volume control, and safety injection system pumps from the refueling water storage tank and therefore appears on several flow diagrams.
SCR SQN-MEB 8604 states that the design conditions (temperature and pressure) varied between the various system flow diagrams.
For example, the chemical and volume control system flow diagram lists the design conditions to be 100* F and 30 psi, where as the residual heat removal flow diagram states the design conditions to 100 F and 100 psi.
I Calculation SQN-63-0053 (EMP-SMJ-022866) was performed to determine a single set of design conditions.
The calculation used a flowrate of 4500 gpm, which is the residual heat removal pump recommended runout flow limit shown on the vendor pump head curve.
This flow may occur when this piping is used to return refueling water to the refueling water storage tank.
When operated in this mode, the piping is valved A-7

In the Civil / Structural discipline the DBVP review of ECNs resulted in the creation of a punch list with approximately 2800 items to be resolved by Sequoyah engineering project and staff personnel.
The DBVP project accessed approximately 10,000 civil / structural calculaticus to confirm the existence of each calculation and to confirm that the calculation addressed the design changes which the ECN implemented.
Although a detailed technical review of calculations was beyond the scope of Civil /Structurer Project's review, the Project did identify six technically inadequate calculations (PIR No. 8659).

Attrchment A - Insp;ction Activities and Obssrvstions 3.2' Overview of Engineering Assurance Oversight
"'
TVA Civil / Structural Engineering Assurance (EA) reviewed twenty of the 700 ECNs which DBVP project reviewed and prepared 20 action items to identify deficiencies
,
Civil / Structural not previously identified by the Civil / Structural discipline.
EA identified four generic concerns regarding the DBVP project review:
,x Failure to identify and/or evaluate some Field Change Requests (FCRs).
(1)
Failure to identify some discrepancies between design drawings and calculations.
(2)
Some incomplete and/or incorrect reviews were performed by DBVP We'oject.
(3)
P Improper identification of some ECNs as in or out of the DBVP scope.
(4)
s
. s As of December 1, 1986, DBVP project had resolved 34 of 52 EA action items identified during the course of EA's DBVP overview in the civil / structural area.
Ci,vil/ Structural EA also reviewed the technical adequacy of the calculations for the sample of 20 ECNs, as required by Review Plan No. 5100, and wrote action items to document three identified deficiencies.
The team concluded that the TVA DBVP Project and Engineering Assurance groups properly implemented the programmatic criteria detailed in S TVA's review of the ECNs scheduled for partial or complete implementation prior to restart of Sequoyah Nuclear Plant in the Civil / Structural discipline.
Although the TVA Civil / Structural Engineering Assurance group performed a technical review of the calculations which supported a sample of ECNs, the team believes that the small sample size limits the additional assurance which can De obtained by the evaluation of this aspect.

3.4 Review of TVA's Corrective Actions In the mechanical components area the team reviewed TVA's responses to the nine deficiencies detailed in NRC inspection report 86-27 and the four observations Seven deficiencies and two detailed in NRC inspection reports 86-38 and 86-45.
observations were closed (Deficiencies D3.1-1, D3.2-2, D3.2-3, D3.2-4, D3.3-2, D3.3-3, and D3.3-5 and Observations No. 3.1 and No. 3.3), one deficiency remains pending NRC review of TVA's post-restart program to address this issue open (Deficiency D3.3-1), and one observation remains open pending receipt o revised TVA response (Observation No. 3.4).
For inspection purposes, the team closed a deficiency and an observation which have been transferred to the NRC Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation (NRR) for review (Deficiency 03.3-4 and Observation No. 3.2).
Team review of TVA's responses to the deficiencies and observations documented 86-27, 86-38 and 86-45 is detailed in Section 9.

Attachment A - Insp:cticn Activities and Obssrvations Watts Bar Nuclear Plant on November 12-14, 1986, that about five percent of the pipe supports at Watts Bar Nuclear Plant would require some rework as a result of TVA's program to address this deficiency. TVA also provided the NRC team with an informal memorandum dated November 14, 1966 which summarized the results of similar studies conducted for seismically analyzed piping at Sequoyah Nuclear Plant, and which concluded that while some support loads increased, the supports were adequate as designed.
On December 3, 1986, TVA provided the inspection team with a preliminary copy of a TVA report entitled Final Review of ZPA Effects on Sequoyah Nuclear Plant Piping, which summarizes the studies conducted by TVA CEB, Impell and Bechtel to verify the design adequacy of the seismically analyzed piping at Sequoyah Nuclear Plant.
The report concludes that no hardware modifications are re-quired for seismically qualified piping or pipe supports at Sequoyah Nuclear Plant.
Moreover, TVA will revise the Rigorous Analysis Handbook to instruct piping analysts to incorporate ZPA loads in all future piping analysis.
3.5 Observations Observation No. 3.5 - Vent Condenser Heat Exchanger Flange Installations ECN No. L-6499, Rev.1, dated January 14, 1986, installed flanges in the component cooling water 2 inch inlet and outlet lines and 3/4 inch relief line of the vent condenser heat exchanger for Sequoyah Unit 2 boric acid evaporator package "B".
TVA performed a rigorous TPIPE analysis of the affected TVA Class C piping, and incorporated this rigorous analysis into TVA alternate piping analysis calculation No. N2-70-A-301A, Rev. O, dated October 1, 1986.
The team noted that:
(1) The piping stress isometric shown on page 24C of the piping analysis is the mirror image of the referenced piping isometric shown in Detail F13 of TVA drawing 47W464-13, Rev. 21.
(2) Because of a TPIPE coding error, the pipe stresses and pipe support loads tabulated on pages 24D and 24E of the piping analysis do not include the effects of the 200 degree F thermal mode.

3.7 - TVA - Supplied Limit Switch Brackets ECN No. L-6556, Rev.1, dated January 17, 1986, replaced existing limit switch-es on valves installed in the ventilation, safety injection, waste disposal, primary water and reactor coolant systems with limit switches qualified to the environmental requirements of 10 CFR 50.49.
TVA drawings 47A348-260, Rev. 2, and 47A348-287, Rev. O, detail TVA-supplied limit switch mounting brackets to be used when a limit switch cannot be mounted to a vendor-supplied valve mounting plate because of interference.
The team noted that:
(1) TVA drawing 47A348-260 does not specify the bolts which connect the TVA-supplied bracket to the valve mounting plate.
(2) TVA has not seismically qualified the brackets shown on the drawings for use as intermediate limit switch supports.
Observation No.
3.8 - Solenoid Valve Mounting Seismic Qualification
ECN No. L-6487, Rev.1, dated January 14, 1986, replaced solenoid valves in the chemical and volume control, safety injection, reactor coolant and waste disposal systems with solenoid valves qualified to the environmental require-ments of NUREG-0588.
The team noted that:,
(1) Piping Isometric 0-WD-215, Rev. 1, which shows TVA Class B containment isolation valve 2-FCV-77-20, and which is a part of TVA alternate analysis calculation No. N2-77A-314A, dated September 16, 1986, details the mirror image of the installea Unit 2 piping configuration.
(2) The approximate 6' 9" span between field routed supports for the 1" diameter pipe which supports 70 lb. valve 2-FCV-77-20 exceeds the maximum 2' span specified on TVA drawing 47A053-158.
TVA indicated to the team that review of field routed support designs for large concentrated in-line weights is a post-restart activity, as documented in Sequoyah Alternate Analysis Review Program Description SQN-AA-001, dated July 7, 1986.
The team noted during review of the Sequoyah Nuclear Performance Plan Section 5.2.2 (DBVP Phase II (Post-Restart), that TVA stated that "The need to provide support for large concentrated weights is apparent and it is unlikely that many deficiencies will be found.
The largest of the concentrated weights will be evaluated with the MOVs and pneumatic operat-ed valves (POVs) prior to restart."
The team noted that contrary to this statement, TVA did not plan to analyze the concentrated weight effect of 2-FCV-77-20, a POV, prior to restart.

addressed a variance in the spans of the 3/8" copper tubing which support solenoid valve 1-FCV-77-20. The calculation was prepared to qualify the clamps which restrained the tubing, but does not consider the additional weight of the condulet and 1" conduit attached to the solenoid valve, apparently due to the use of an incomplete and uncontrolled field sketch.
TVA could not retrieve the documentation to confirm that the 3/8" copper (4)
tubing detailed in item (3) was seismically qualified.

3.9 - High Energy Line Break Designation ECN No. L-5724, Rev. 2, dated July 9,1984, revised identical support designs in the Sequoyah Units 1 and 2 chemical and volume control system to reduce vibration problems associated with an undiagnosed vibratory mode.
The team noted that TVA drawing 47K432-51, Rev. 4 designates the 2" diameter line from Steel Containment Vessel penetration X-15 to the letdown heat ex-changer in Sequoyah Unit 1 as a high energy line, while TVA drawing 47K432-56, Rev. 3 designates the corresponding Unit 2 piping segment as a low energy line.
TVA has indicated that the Unit 1 piping is also a low energy line and there-fore the drawing is incorrect.

Six other ECNs involving environmental qualification changes 5 work plan packages involving post-modification testing, and 6 design criteria documents were examined. The team's independent review of other ECNs and work plan packages involved their technical adequacy, e.g.,
review of analyses, identification of test requirements, specification of acceptance test criteria, and resolution of test data anomalies.
Portions of several work plans were examined for recorded data values taken during system level preoperational tests. The team inspected the installed component cool-ing water system surge tank level instruments added by ECN-L-6202.
Approximately half of the team's instrumentation and control observations identified during this inspection were determined to have been within the scope of the DBVP (i.e. "in bounds").
6.1 Design Baseline Verification Program Project Review The NRC team was informed that none of the instrumentation and control ECNs reviewed and evaluated by the DBVP project team had identified any impact on existing plant hardware.
The team's review of a small sample of ECNs confirmed this statement.
The types of documentation problems identified from the project's reviews included: (1) instrument setpoint calculations did not exist; (2) instrument accuracy and range specifications were missing in source documents; (3) the scoping of post-modification testing in some work plans was deemed inadequate; and (4) documentation errors such as the absence of a requirement for seismic qualification of replacement components.
.
While the project evaluations were considered generally satisfactory, the team questioned the DBVP evaluations for checklist question 3.c which evaluated the postulated failure effects of each design modification.
For this question, an incomplete response was provided since the evaluation was limited to postulated short circuit effects and the potential loss of the affected electrical board.
The evaluations did not consider the effects of open circuits or the applica-tion of the maximum credible voltage level, and did not explicitly confirm that all required safety functions remained intact after the design modification was implemented (Observation No. 6.14).
The following is a summary of the results of DBVP project's ECN review:
(1) Missing Instrument Setpoint Calculations Were Identified:
ECN-L-6202 CCS surge tank level switch setpoint was identified as missing by the project, and was then specified as 65 inches of water by QIR SQP 86002.

these motors did not need to be environmentally qualified, and the Class lE buses were protected by an existing Class lE fuse and circuit breaker tripped on a containment isolation phase B signal.
In late 1985, TVA performed an analysis (SQN-OSG7-038) of the effect of unqual-ified loads connected to Class lE buses in response to the environmental This analysis qualification requirements stated in 10 CFR 50.49, section b(2).
In each instance, the unqualified motors identified was revised in July 1986.

been qualified for a harsh environment, no fault current challenge to the Class IE 480 volt shutdown boards would need to be postulated.
However, since the cooler fan motors were not qualified, their simultaneous failure could present The a fault current challenge to each of the four redundant shutdown boards.
TVA evaluation stated that the Class IE series fuse and circuit breaker combi-nation provided for each motor would ' protect the individual shutdown boards.
The team noted during this review that the pressurizer heater breaker circuit, which was similar in design to the lower compartment cooler fan motor breaker circuit, was tripped by a safety injection signal.
The team then determined that no consideration had been given to tripping the control rod drive mecha-nism or lower compartment cooler fan motor circuit breakers with a safety injection signal rather than the containment isolation phase B signal to assure that the unqualified motors would be disconnected from the 480 volt shutdown boards prior to connection of the diesel generators to the emergency buses.
The team considered that the ECN should have identified both the available technical options and the effects of simultaneous failure of unqualified motors inside containment in its justification of the chosen design configuration.
Observation No. 6.12 - Periodic Test of Component Cooling System Surge Tank for Internal Baffle Integrity A single surge tank is shared by the redundant A and B loops of the component cooling water system as shown on TVA flow diagram 47W859-1. This tank has an internal baffle plate that extends from the bottom up to 68 percent of the maximum tank volume to provide the minimum water storage volumes needed for Independence of these two water volumes is provided by each cooling loop.

Because the water level in the tank is normally maintained automatically above the top of the baffle plate during plant operation, the level instrumentation will not detect the existence of a leak through the baffle plate.

baffle plate cannot be detected by external observations of the tank made during a plant walkdown.
Requirements for suitable redundancy in cooling system components and for compliance with the single failure criterion are stated in 10 CFR 50 Appendix A General Design Criterion 44.
A requirement for periodic inspection to assure cooling system component integrity is stated in General Design Criterion 45.
A requirement for periodic testing of the operability of the cooling system as a whole is stated in General Design Criterion 46.
The SQN FSAR states that the CCS comprises 2 independent loops which are not susceptible to a single passive failure. This statement depends on the continued integrity of the tank baffle plate.
I Typirally, a. combination of periodic inspections and periodic tests would provide a means of early detection of the loss of baffle plate integrity, and would then permit the baffle plate to be designated as a passive element exempt from postulated failure prior to and during the short term period following an accident.
However, when periodic inspections and tests fail to detect the loss of baffle plate integrity, the undetected baffle plate failure is considered to exist prior to and during both the short and long term periods associated with an accident.
Since such postulated degradation of the baffle plate could jeopardize the independence of the redundant water volumes, TVA was requested to provide preoperational and periodic test data that would confirm the ongoing integrity of the internal baffle plate.
No such test data could be located during the

inspection.

Observation No. 6.13 - Component Cooling System Pump Discharge Pressure Switch Reset Each of the component cooling water pumps has a discharge pressure switch to provide a control room annunciation for a high pressure condition (2PS-70-57, 2-PS-70-31, and 0-PS-70-49).

and the only designated post-modification test was for sense line leakage.
Project evaluation sheets for procedure SQEP-14 identified that the high pressure alarm needed to be verified, but did not require verification of the pressure switch reset. Work plan 10256 stated the high pressure setpoint as 120 psi without a tolerance band, and did not state a specific reset value.
Consequently, the decreasing pressure reset value was not measured during the post-modification test.
Observation No. 6.14 - Project Evaluation of Electrical Failure Analysis for Procedure SQEP-12, Design Review Checklist Design review checklists are prepared by the project for individual Engineering Change Notices in accordance with procedure SQEP-12.
Checklist question 3.c asks whether the design change creates an electrical problem in any of its failure modes.
In a number of instances, the completed design review checklist provided a reference to Note 17 of (checklist) Attachment A.
This note states that the change will not cause a simultaneous short which would cause a loss of the board.
By only referencing this note, the team is concerned that only a partial answer has been provided for the question of failure modes and their effects.
Failure mode and effects analysis, whose methodology is' described by IEEE Std. 352, requires the consideration of short circuits, open circuits, and the application of the maximum credible voltage within electrical circuits in cabinets, panels, racks, cable trays, and conduits.
For any of these postu-lated conditions, the safety system must accomplish all protective functions required for each design basis event in the presence of any postulated single failure.
Moreover, the anticipated loss of one control board does not provide a direct correlation to the potential loss of one or more protective functions involving reactor trip, containment isolation, emergency core cooling, control of radio-active releases, or safe shutdown of the plant.
l In this instance, the team considers that the SQEP-12 procedure has asked the
!
correct question; however. the project's implementation was considered insuf-l ficient.

EA performed a more comprehensive review of the sample of ECNs they selected.
Their selection was limited to 19 ECNs in the Civil area.
EA, during their review, evaluated the technical adequacy of the calculations related to these ECNs.
Their review resulted in the following generic types of findings:
(1) The project did not identify / evaluate some field change requests.
(2) The project performed an incomplete / incorrect review.
(3) The project improperly identified ECNs to be out-of-scope for the DBVP.
(4) There were discrepancies between calculations and drawings.
(5) The system engineer incorrectly incorporated the project civil input.
Team review of the EA findings determined that they were mostly documentation related and did not result in any hardware modifications.
The NRC team reviewed a total of 17 ECNs, of which 5 were previously reviewed
by EA and the rest by the project.
The team independently reviewed calcula '
tions and drawings associated'with these ECNs to determine their technical adequacy.
Cartain work plans were also reviewed.
This review identifi.ed the following deficiencies:
(1) Missing original calculations and walkdown information (ECN 5357).
(2) Missing support variance calculations (ECNs 6700, 3354, 5274).
(3) Missing evaluations for reinforcing bar cuts (ECNs 5600, 5277, 5726).
!
The team noted that all of these deficiencies were also identified by the project prior to the NRC inspection.
During the NRC review of ECN 5298, the team found that the DBVP project review incorrectly stated that calculations were not required for the resolution of a Field Change Request (FCR).
Also related to the same ECN, the project reviewer failed to verify whether calculations were performed for another FCR (Observation No. 7.4).
,
Due to the lack of calculction review performed by the project and the limited reviews performed by the EA and NRC teams, a conclusion on the technical adequacy of the ECNs could not be reached at this time. These limited calcula-tion reviews performed by the EA and the NRC team did not identify the need for any corrective hardware modifications in the Civil / Structural area.

(4.7) Will the margin of safety as defined in the bases to any technical specification be reduced?
The team did not find that these "no" conclusions were adequately supported by the data provided with the Westinghouse analysis; consequently, the team requested that explicit justifications be provided to support the response to each of these questions.
In addition, the team reviewed responses prepared by TVA's Nuclear Power Plant Operations Review Staff for SCR SCNNEB8609 Revision 0 dated July 2,1986. The justification for continued operation stated that the issue was only an envi-ronmental qualification documentation problem, that no FSAR revision was required, and that the deficiency did not adversely affect safe operation of the plant.
Since the Westinghouse analysis was not available until November, the team questioned how Nuclear Power could reach such conclusions four months earlier.
The team was informed that Nuclear Power viewed the entire concern as only an environmental qualification documentation issue.
The team does not agree with this narrow perspective; hence, an improved justification of their evaluation was also requested.
This item remains open.
(0 pen) Observation No. 6.3 - Consistency in AFW Turbine Controls Walkdown Scope The team had noted inconsistencies in the inspection of components for the
-
turbine AFW controls between the unit 1 and unit 2 walkdowns.
TVA indicated that different teams had performed each walkdown.
The team considers this to be an acceptable response except for the issue of instrument line walkdowns.
Hence, this issue is being held open in concert with Observation No. 5.1.
At l
this time, TVA has presented several concepts for consideration by the EA oversight team; however, a definitive scope of the instrument line walkdowns has not been established. TVA should provide a definitive plan that explicitly describes those instrument lines that will be walked down.
This item remains open.

(Closed) Observation No. 6.4 - Conduit Box Covers and Installed Cable Pull Rope During a plant walkdown, the team noted a missing cover on a conduit box that also had a cable pull rope hanging from the box.
The rope has been pushed up

The team reviewed existing l
maintenance instructions that control the replacement of conduit covers.
On this basis, this item is closed.
l (0 pen) Observation No. 6.5 - Replacement Part and Equipment Qualification During the team's review of several design criteria documents, inconsistent wording was noted for environmental qualification requirements applicable to components and replacement parts.
The team specifically requested that TVA develop criteria where the use of IEEE Std. 323-1971 might be permitted.
TVA has developed the new text, but has not prepared a design input memorandum to A-47

Attachment A - Insp;cticn Activities tnd Obssrvatiens (0 pen) Deficiency D4.3-3 - Steam Generator Access Platform Design The initial inspection identified that the steam generator lower supports were not evaluated for permanently attached platform loads.
During walkdown of these supports, TVA identified additional piping and supports that are attached to these lower supports.
They have contracted an evaluation of the lower supports to Westinghouse, which is still performing this work.
Therefore, this item remains open.
(Closed) Deficiency D4.3-4 - Cable Tray Support Response Spectra The team found that an improper response spectra curve was referenced in a calculation. TVA, in their response, stated that the correct response spectra curve was used in the design, but the NRC inspector was given the wrong revi-sion of the response spectra report (CEB Report 8-20).
The team reviewed the correct response spectra curves and agrees with the TVA statement. This item is closed.
(Closed) Deficiency D4.3-5 - Loads on Cable Tray Supports During the initial NRC inspection, the team found that cable tray support design did not consider the 75 pounds per linear foot load on the top tray as stated by TVA design criteria.
TVA, in their response to this deficiency, stated that this load was intended to be applied as a construction load case only. TVA has investigated this load case in Significant Condition Report SCRSQNCEB8622.
Team review of the calculations related to this SCR shows that structural adequacy of the supports are not affected by this loading condition.
This item is closed.
!
(Closed) Deficiency D4.3-6 - Torsional Shear Stress Effects on Weld Design In the design of certain cable tray supports, TVA did not consider the effects of torsional shear stresses during an earthquake due to the asymmetrical geometry of the supports.
TVA has issued Significant Condition Report SCRSQNCEB8622 to resolve this issue.
The calculations performed for this SCR show that TVA selected 25 worst case cable tray supports and evaluated these for torsional effects.
All welded joints were structurally adequate to carry the extra shear stresses.
This item is closed.
(Closed) Unresolved Item U4.3-7 - Cable Tray Support Base Plate Analysis NRC inspection 86-27 identified that certain surface mounted base plates for cable tray supports were designed without consideration of baseplate flexibi-lity.
TVA has evaluated this condition in the calculations performed for Significant Condition Report SCRSQNCEB8622.
These calculations show that 40 baseplates were evaluated for flexibility and found to be structurally adequate.
