UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION ril 30, 2014

SUBJECT:

ST LUCIE PLANT - NRC INTEGRATED INSPECTION REPORT 05000335/2014002 AND 05000389/2014002 AND EXERCISE OF ENFORCEMENT DISCRETION

Dear Mr. Nazar:

On March 31, 2014, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed an inspection at your St. Lucie Plant Units 1 and 2. The enclosed integrated inspection report documents the inspection results, which were discussed on April 10, 2014, with Mr. Jensen and other members of your staff.

Two self-revealing findings of very low safety significance (Green) were identified during this inspection. One of these findings involved a violation of NRC requirements. The NRC is treating this violation as a non-cited violation (NCV) consistent with Section 2.3.2.a of the Enforcement Policy.

In addition, contrary to Technical Specification (TS) 3.7.1.2, Auxiliary Feedwater System, requirements, Unit 1 operated with the 1C auxiliary feedwater (AFW) pump inoperable for longer than the TS allowed completion time due to a failed auxiliary contact for the trip and throttle valve. Although a violation of TS occurred, the violation was not attributable to an equipment failure that was avoidable by reasonable licensee quality assurance measures or management controls. Therefore, the TS 3.7.1.2 violation was not associated with a licensee performance deficiency. The NRC concluded that the violation was of very low safety significance due to the short amount of time that the 1C AFW pump was inoperable. Based on these facts, I have been authorized, after consultation with the Director, Office of Enforcement, and the Regional Administrator, to exercise enforcement discretion in accordance with Section 2.2.4.d of the Enforcement Policy and refrain from issuing enforcement for the violation. This violation will not be considered in the assessment process or the NRCs Action Matrix.

If you contest the violation or significance of the 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 St. Lucie Power Plant.

If you disagree with a cross-cutting aspect assignment 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 St. Lucie Plant.

Additionally, as we informed you in the most recent NRC integrated inspection report, cross-cutting aspects identified in the last six months of 2013 using the previous terminology were being converted in accordance with the cross-reference in Inspection Manual Chapter 0310.

Section 4OA5 of the enclosed report documents the conversion of these cross-cutting aspects which will be evaluated for cross-cutting themes and potential substantive cross-cutting issues in accordance with IMC 0305 starting with the 2014 mid-cycle assessment review. If you disagree with the cross-cutting aspect assigned, 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 St. Lucie Plant.

In accordance with Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations 2.390, Public Inspections, Exemptions, Requests for Withholding, 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 the NRCs document system (ADAMS).

SUMMARY OF FINDINGS

IR 05000335/2014002, 05000389/2014002; 01/01/2014 - 03/31/2014; St. Lucie Nuclear Plant,

Units 1 & 2; Follow-up of Events and Notice of Enforcement Discretion; Radiological Hazard Assessment and Exposure Controls The report covered a three-month period of inspection by the resident inspectors and regional inspectors. The significance of inspection findings are indicated by their color (i.e., Green,

White, Yellow, or Red) and determined using Inspection Manual Chapter (IMC) 0609,

Significance Determination Process, (SDP) dated June 2, 2011. The cross-cutting aspect was determined using IMC 0310, Aspects Within the Cross-Cutting Areas, dated December 19, 2013. All violations of NRC requirements were dispositioned in accordance with the NRCs Enforcement Policy dated July 9, 2013. The NRCs program for overseeing the safe operation of commercial nuclear power reactors is described in NUREG-1649, Reactor Oversight Process, Revision

NRC-Identified and Self-Revealing Findings

Cornerstone: Mitigating Systems

  • Green: A self-revealing finding was identified for the licensees failure to provide adequate work instructions. The maintenance work instructions for a debris filter system (DFS)backwash valve motor operator did not contain adequate details to ensure the motor operator was installed correctly. The incorrectly installed motor operator prevented the DFS from mitigating an influx of algae into the circulating water system and ultimately resulted in the need for operators to manually trip the reactor. The licensee entered this issue into the corrective action program (CAP) as action requests (ARs) 1878615 and 1911638. Corrective actions included properly installing the DFS backwash valve motor operator.

The performance deficiency was more than minor because it was associated with the equipment reliability attribute of the initiating events cornerstone and adversely affected the cornerstone objective to limit the likelihood of those events that upset plant stability and challenge critical safety functions during power operations. Specifically, the 1A2 DFS backwash valve was installed incorrectly in August 2012. This degraded the components ability to mitigate an algae intrusion event on May 31, 2013, and resulted in a manual reactor trip. The finding was determined to be of very low safety significance (Green)based on Exhibit 1, Initiating Events Screening Questions, found in Inspection Manual Chapter 0609, Significance Determination Process, Appendix A, SDP for Findings At-Power (June 19, 2012). This was due to the fact that the finding did not cause a loss of mitigation equipment relied upon to transition the plant from the onset of the trip to a stable shutdown condition. The cause of this finding was associated with a cross-cutting aspect of providing complete and accurate documentation in the documentation component of the human performance area. Specifically, the licensee did not provide work instructions with enough detail to properly reinstall the1A2 backwash valve motor operator (H.7). (Section 4OA3.2)

Cornerstone: Occupational Radiation Safety

  • Green: A self-revealing non-cited violation (NCV) of 10 CFR 20.1501(a) and Technical Specification (TS) 6.12.1 was identified for failure to perform radiological surveys to ensure that the potential radiological hazards and extent of radiation levels were evaluated for an equipment transfer box being removed from the Unit 2 upper reactor cavity. This failure resulted in dose rates greater than 100 millirem per hour (mrem/hr) at 30 centimeters (cm)from a high efficiency particulate air (HEPA) vacuum cleaner, and was discovered by two workers who received electronic dosimeter (ED) dose rate alarms of 108 and 84 mrem/hr when working near the HEPA vacuum cleaner. Dose rates of the HEPA vacuum cleaner were found to be 850 mrem/hr at 30 cm. Upon identification, the licensee posted and controlled access to the equipment transfer box and placed the HEPA vacuum cleaner into a shielded container. This condition has been placed into the licensees CAP under ARs 01946341 and 01946351.

The finding was determined to be more than minor because it is associated with the Program and Process attribute of the Occupational Radiation Safety cornerstone, and adversely affected the cornerstone objective of ensuring adequate protection of worker health and safety from exposure to radiation, in that the workers were unnecessarily exposed to high radiation area conditions. The finding was evaluated in accordance with Inspection Manual Chapter (IMC) 0609, Appendix C (August 19, 2008), and was determined to be Green because it did not involve as low as reasonably achievable (ALARA) planning or work controls, was not an overexposure, did not present a substantial potential for an overexposure, and the ability to assess dose was not compromised. The inspectors determined that this issue had a field presence cross-cutting aspect in the human performance area (H.2) because supervisors did not oversee work activities by observing and reinforcing standards and expectations. (Section 2RS1)

REPORT DETAILS

Summary of Plant Status

Unit 1 operated at 100 percent rated thermal power (RTP) throughout the inspection period.

Unit 2 began the inspection period at 100 percent RTP. On January 9, power was lowered to approximately 93 percent RTP due to problems with the main generator isophase duct cooling system. On January 11, power was restored to 100 percent. On March 2, control room operators commenced a planned power reduction and manually tripped the reactor at 25 percent RTP to start the refueling outage. The unit was refueled and was in Mode 5 (<200 oF)at the end of the inspection period.

Additionally, the inspectors verified that any issues associated with the modification was identified and entered into the licensees CAP.

b. Findings

No findings were identified.

.2 Temporary Modification: Unit 2 EDGs Radiator Exhaust Wind Mitigation

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors reviewed the engineering change (EC) documentation for the temporary plant modification EC 28069, Emergency Diesel Generator Building Air Exhaust Wind Barrier. The modification consisted of scaffolding with an installed vertical wind barrier that will shield the unit 2 EDG radiator exhaust east and west openings from high winds.

The modification was designed to withstand winds up to 75 mph. The modification was in response to an industry issue identified that questioned whether high winds could prevent adequate air flow through the radiators of air-cooled EDGs. The licensee determined that the Unit 2 EDGs were susceptible to this phenomenon for wind speeds greater than approximately 47 mph from certain directions. The temporary modification will be replaced by a permanent modification prior to hurricane season. The Unit 1 EDGs were determined to not be susceptible to the above condition since the Unit 1 EDG radiator exhausts exit vertically through the top of the EDG building. The inspectors reviewed associated plant drawings and UFSAR documents impacted by this modification and discussed the changes with licensee personnel to verify the installation was consistent with the modification documents. Additionally, the inspectors verified that any issues associated with the modification was identified and entered into the licensees CAP.

b. Findings

No findings were identified.

1R20 Refueling and Other Outage Activities

Unit 2 Refueling Outage SL2-21

a. Inspection Scope

Outage Planning, Control and Risk Assessment The Unit 2 planned refueling outage started on March 3, 2014. The inspectors reviewed the licensees outage risk control plan and verified that the licensee had appropriately considered risk, industry experience and previous site specific problems. The inspectors also reviewed the outage work schedule for Operations, Maintenance, and the Fire Brigade to confirm the licensee has scheduled covered workers such that the minimum days off for individuals working on outage activities was in compliance with 10 CFR 26.205(d)(4) and (5).

During daily outage planning activities by the licensee, the inspectors reviewed the risk reduction methodology employed by the licensee during various refueling outage (RFO)

SL2-21 meetings including the outage command center (OCC) morning meetings, operations daily team meetings, and schedule performance update meetings. The inspectors examined the licensee implementation of shutdown safety assessments during SL2-21 in accordance with licensee procedure OM-AA-101-1000, Shutdown Risk Management, to verify whether a defense in depth concept was in place to ensure safe operations and avoid unnecessary risk. In addition, the inspectors regularly monitored OCC activities, and interviewed responsible OCC management, to ensure system, structure, and component configurations and work scope were consistent with TS requirements, site procedures, and outage risk controls.

Monitoring of Shutdown Activities The inspectors monitored RCS cooldown rates to verify they met TS requirements. The inspectors walked down the RCB shortly after the unit was shut down to determine whether any components were impacted by previously unidentified RCS leakage. The RCB, including the RCB sump, was inspected for any damage incurred during the operating cycle.

Outage Activities The inspectors examined outage activities to verify that they were conducted in accordance with TS, licensee procedures, and the licensees outage risk control plan.

Some of the more significant inspection activities accomplished by the inspectors were as follows:

  • Walked down selected safety-related equipment clearance orders
  • Verified operability of RCS pressure, level, flow, and temperature instruments during various modes of operation
  • Verified electrical systems availability and alignment
  • Evaluated implementation of reactivity controls
  • Reviewed control of containment penetrations

around the refueling cavity, near sensitive equipment and RCS breaches) and around the spent fuel pool (SFP)

  • Verified workers fatigue was properly managed.

Refueling Activities and Containment Closure The inspectors witnessed selected fuel handling operations being performed according to TS and applicable operating procedures from the main control room, refueling cavity inside containment, and the SFP. The inspectors also examined licensee activities to control and track the position of each fuel assembly. The inspectors evaluated the licensees ability to close the containment equipment, personnel, and emergency hatches in a timely manner per procedure 2-GMM-68.02, Emergency Closure of Containment Penetrations, Personnel Hatch, and Equipment Hatches.

Mode Transition The inspectors examined selected TS, license conditions, license commitments and verified administrative prerequisites were being met prior to mode changes.

Reduced Inventory and Mid-Loop Conditions The inspectors reviewed the planned activities associated with a period of reduced inventory and mid-loop conditions established in order to remove the steam generator nozzle dams after the reactor was refueled. The inspectors verified the licensee had controls in place to govern mid-loop operation and appropriate mid-loop operation training was complete. The inspectors verified the necessary instrumentation and means of adding inventory to the RCS were available.

Corrective Action Program The inspectors reviewed ARs generated during SL2-21 to evaluate the licensees threshold for initiating ARs. The inspectors reviewed ARs to verify priorities, mode holds, and significance levels were assigned as required. Resolution and implementation of corrective actions of several ARs were also reviewed for completeness. The inspectors routinely reviewed the results of Quality Assurance (QA)daily surveillances of outage activities.

b. Findings

No findings were identified.

1R22 Surveillance Testing

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors either reviewed or witnessed the following ten surveillance tests to verify that the tests met TS, the UFSAR, the licensees procedural requirements, and demonstrated the systems were capable of performing their intended safety functions and their operational readiness. In addition, the inspectors evaluated the effect of the testing activities on the plant to ensure that conditions were adequately addressed by the licensee staff and that after completion of the testing activities, equipment was returned to standby alignment required for the system to perform its safety function. The inspectors verified that surveillance issues were documented in the CAP. Documents reviewed are listed in the Attachment.

Hazard Assessment and Instructions to Workers: During facility tours, the inspectors directly observed labeling of radioactive material and postings for radiation areas, high radiation areas (HRAs), locked HRAs, and Very HRAs (VHRAs) in the radiologically controlled area (RCA) of the Unit 2 (U2) containment, Unit 1 (U1) and U2 auxiliary buildings, Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation and radioactive waste (radwaste)processing and storage locations to include the dry storage warehouse. The inspectors directly observed conduct of licensee radiation surveys for selected RCA areas. The inspectors reviewed survey records for several plant areas including surveys for alpha emitters, hot particles, airborne radioactivity, gamma surveys within areas of high dose rate gradients, pre-job surveys for upcoming tasks associated with U2 Refueling Outage 21 (SL2-21) and the ISFSI. The inspectors also discussed changes to plant operations that could contribute to changing radiological conditions since the last inspection. For selected SL2-21 work activities, the inspectors attended pre-job briefings and reviewed radiation work permit (RWP) details to assess communication of radiological control requirements and current radiological conditions to workers. This included work activities associated with upper guide structure installation, reactor head set, and U2 A and B steam generator (S/G) feedwater ring repairs.

Hazard Control and Work Practices: The inspectors evaluated access barrier effectiveness for selected U1 and U2 LHRA and VHRA locations to include U2 containment. 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 were reviewed and discussed.

Established radiological controls (including airborne controls) were evaluated for selected SL2-21 tasks to include welding on upper cavity ladder, S/G manway bowl closeout, and U2 A and B S/G feedwater ring repairs. Areas where dose rates could change significantly as a result of plant shutdown and refueling operations were also reviewed and discussed with cognizant licensee representatives.

Occupational workers adherence to selected RWPs and HP technician proficiency in providing job coverage were evaluated through direct observations and interviews with cognizant licensee staff. ED alarm set points and worker stay times were evaluated against area radiation survey results for selected SL2-21 work activities. ED alarm logs were reviewed and worker response to dose and dose rate alarms during selected SL2-21 work activities were evaluated. HPT coverage and actions at the U2 containment access point were reviewed and discussed in detail with cognizant licensee representatives.

Control of Radioactive Material: The inspectors observed surveys of material and personnel being released from the RCA control point using small article monitors, personnel contamination monitors, and portal monitor instruments. The inspectors discussed equipment sensitivity, alarm setpoints, and release program guidance with cognizant licensee staff. In addition, the inspector reviewed and observed controls for hand surveying large tools and equipment for release from the RCA control point. The inspectors compared recent data required by Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations Part 61 for the Dry Active Waste (DAW) radioactive waste stream with radionuclides used in calibration sources to evaluate the appropriateness and accuracy of release survey instrumentation. The inspectors also reviewed records of leak tests on selected sealed sources and discussed nationally tracked source transactions with licensee staff.

Problem Identification and Resolution: The inspectors reviewed selected CAP documents associated with radiological hazard assessment and control. The inspectors evaluated the licensees ability to identify and resolve the issues in accordance with procedure PI-AA-204, Condition Identification and Screening Process, Revision (Rev.)

22 and PI-AA-205, Condition Evaluation and Corrective Action, Rev. 23.

Radiation protection activities were evaluated against the requirements of UFSAR Chapter 12; TS Section 6.12; 10 CFR Parts 19 and 20; and approved licensee procedures. Licensee programs for monitoring materials and personnel released from the RCA were evaluated against 10 CFR Part 20 and IE Circular 81-07, Control of Radioactively Contaminated Material. Documents reviewed are listed in the Attachment.

b. Findings

Introduction:

A self-revealing Green NCV of 10 CFR 20.1501(a) and TS 6.12.1 was identified for failure to perform radiological surveys to ensure that the potential radiological hazards and extent of radiation levels were evaluated for an equipment transfer box containing a high efficiency particulate air (HEPA) vacuum cleaner removed from the Unit 2 upper reactor cavity. This failure resulted in an un-posted high radiation area on the refueling floor of the reactor containment building. Dose rates of 850 mrem/hr at 30 cm were measured.

Description:

On March 6, 2014, reactor maintenance personnel working in the Unit 2 upper reactor cavity, a high radiation area (HRA), loaded an equipment transfer box with equipment. Included in the transfer box was a HEPA vacuum cleaner that had been used to clean bolt holes for the cavity seal ring installation. The transfer box was subsequently lifted to the reactor head laydown area of the refueling floor of the Reactor Containment Building, a radiation area. Radiation Protection (RP) was not aware that the transfer box was lifted out of the Unit 2 upper reactor cavity, and consequently radiological surveys were not performed. RP personnel were on the refueling floor engaged in other reactor containment building activities. An un-posted HRA was identified after a crane operator, working in close proximity to the equipment transfer box, received an ED dose rate alarm of 108 millirem per hour (mrem/hr). The crane operator responded appropriately and reported to the RP control point. Prior to completion of the crane operators ED alarm investigation, a second crane operator was dispatched to continue polar crane operations. Subsequently, the second crane operator received an ED dose rate alarm of 84 mrem/hr when the crane lift required the operator to be in close proximity of the transfer box. The licensees radiological surveys of the HEPA vacuum cleaner during the investigation of the event found the dose rates to be 9,000 mrem/hr on contact and 850 mrem/hr at 30 cm which corresponded to High Radiation Area conditions.

Analysis:

Failure to perform radiological surveys of the transfer box when being removed from the U2 upper reactor cavity in accordance with 10 CFR 20.1501(a) to ensure the potential radiological hazards and extent of radiation levels were understood and controlled was a performance deficiency. The finding was determined to be more than minor because it is associated with the Program and Process attribute of the Occupational Radiation Safety cornerstone, and adversely affected the cornerstone objective to ensure adequate protection of worker health and safety from exposure to radiation, in that the operators were unnecessarily exposed to HRA conditions. The finding was evaluated in accordance with IMC 0609, Appendix C, where it was determined to be Green because it did not involve ALARA planning or work controls, was not an overexposure, did not contain a substantial potential for an overexposure, and the ability to assess dose was not compromised. The inspectors determined that this issue had a cross-cutting aspect of Human Performance (H) Field Presence (H.2)because RP supervisors did not oversee work activities by observing and reinforcing standards and expectations to perform radiological surveys of the transfer box while being removed from the reactor cavity.

Enforcement:

10 CFR 20.1501(a) requires that surveys be made that are reasonable under the circumstances to evaluate the magnitude and extent of radiation levels. TS 6.12.1, states, in part, that in lieu of the requirements of 10 CFR 20.1601, each high radiation area, as defined in 10 CFR 20, in which the intensity of radiation is greater than 100 mrem per hour, shall be barricaded and conspicuously posted. 10 CFR 20.1003 defines survey as an evaluation of the radiological conditions and potential hazards incident to the production, use, transfer, release, disposal, or presence of radioactive material or other sources of radiation. Contrary to this, on March 6, 2014, an equipment box containing a HEPA vacuum cleaner with a dose rate of 850 mrem/hr at 30 cm was removed from the Unit 2 upper reactor cavity without an adequate survey to evaluate the radiation levels. This resulted in an un-posted HRA on the refueling floor of the Reactor Containment Building that was subsequently identified by ED dose rate alarms for two crane operators working in close proximity to the equipment box. Immediate corrective actions taken by the licensee were to post and control access to the equipment transfer box, and place the HEPA vacuum cleaner in a shielded container. Because this finding was of very low safety significance and entered into the licensees CAP as ARs 01946341 and 01946351, this finding is being treated as an NCV consistent with Section 2.3.2 of the NRC Enforcement Policy (NCV 05000389/2014002-01, Noncompliance with Barricading and Posting Requirements).

2RS6 Radioactive Gaseous and Liquid Effluent Treatment

.2 Annual Sample: Apparent Cause Evaluation Associated with Lifting a Power Operated

Relief Valve (PORV) during Fill and Venting of the Unit 1 Reactor Coolant System

a. Inspection Scope

On January 13, 2014, the licensee submitted a Special Report (L-2014-013) to the NRC documenting an unplanned Unit 1 reactor coolant system (RCS) power operated relief valve lift that occurred on December 15, 2013. The PORV lifted and reseated several times after starting a reactor coolant pump (RCP) during RCS fill and venting. A RCP was started to sweep any gases from the RCS to the reactor vessel and pressurizer from which it would be vented. The RCS fill and vent was a preplanned activity following draining of the RCS to allow replacement of a RCP seal package. AR 1927559 addressed the corrective actions associated with the special report. The AR was reviewed by the inspectors in detail to evaluate the effectiveness of the licensees corrective actions. The inspectors also assessed whether the issue was properly identified, documented accurately and completely, properly classified and prioritized, adequately considered extent of condition, generic implications, common cause, and previous occurrences, adequately identified apparent causes, and identified appropriate and timely corrective actions. The inspectors verified the licensees actions were in accordance with licensee procedures, PI-AA-204, Condition Identification and Screening, and PI-AA-205, Condition Evaluation and Corrective Actions.

b. Findings and Observations

No findings were identified. The inspectors found that the licensees apparent cause evaluation (ACE) for this event was comprehensive and thorough. The inspectors determined that the corrective actions completed were appropriate to address the identified cause.

4OA3 Follow-up of Events and Notice of Enforcement Discretion

.1 Unit 1 and 2 Notification of Unusual Event (NOUE) Declaration

a. Inspection Scope

On January 9, 2014 with both units operating at 100 percent power, a stalled weather front resulted in excess of 7 inches of rainfall on the site over a short period of time. The site met Emergency Action Level (EAL) HU1 which, in part, requires an NOUE declaration for a natural occurrence affecting the protected area if water levels are approaching storm drain capacity. The site was in a NOUE for approximately 6 hrs. The unusual event was terminated at approximately 0001 hours1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br /> on January 10, when the storm drain levels had lowered and actions were taken to ensure the sites storm drain system was fully functional.

The inspectors verified the event was properly classified and notifications were made in accordance with the emergency plan implementing procedure EPIP-01, Classification of Emergencies, and EPIP-02, Duties and Responsibilities of the Emergency Coordinator.

During the event, storm water entered the reactor auxiliary building (RAB) through degraded electrical conduits that were later found not to have internal flood seals.

b. Findings

Introduction:

The inspectors identified an unresolved item concerning external flood water entering the RAB through conduits that did not have internal flood seals installed.

Description:

On January 9, 2014, during a heavy rainfall event, the sites storm drain system reached capacity due to a partially blocked culvert. As a result, the storm water entered the Unit 1 component cooling water (CCW) area and then overflowed into the emergency core cooling system (ECCS) tunnel located adjacent to the reactor auxiliary building. The water entered two corroded electrical conduits in the tunnel and flowed into the Unit 1 reactor auxiliary building (RAB) -0.5 foot elevation. The licensee cycled drain valves to transfer the water to the ECCS room sump (RAB -10 foot elevation) and pumped the water to an internal storage tank. No safety-related equipment was affected as a result of the water intrusion into the RAB. Six conduits at RAB penetration P19, including the two degraded conduits that allowed water entry into the -0.5 foot elevation, were found not to have internal flood seals installed. A few days after the event, the licensee installed flood seals in the six non-safety-related conduits that penetrated the RAB at penetration P19. Additionally, the licensee initiated a root cause evaluation to determine the cause of the missing conduit flood seals.

The issue is an unresolved item pending completion of the inspectors review of the licensees evaluation associated with this event (URI 05000335/2014002-02, Evaluation of January 9, 2014 RAB Flooding).

.2 (Closed) LER 05000389/2013001-00 (and Supplement -01) Unplanned Reactor Trip

Due to Algae

a. Inspection Scope

The licensee submitted LER 05000389/2013001-00 (and Supplement -01) to the NRC in accordance with 10 CFR 50.73(a)(2)(iv)(A) as an event or condition that resulted in manual actuation of the reactor protection system including reactor scram or reactor trip.

The inspectors reviewed the LER and the licensees root cause evaluation to gain a better understanding of the circumstances which led to manual reactor trip and to verify that the plant systems and operators responded to the event as required. The inspectors evaluated the accuracy of the information submitted in the LER, the licensees conformance with regulatory requirements, and potential generic implications related to the event. Additionally, the inspectors evaluated the licensees corrective actions to determine if the actions appropriately addressed the causes that were identified in the licensees root cause evaluation.

b. Findings

Introduction:

A green self-revealing finding was identified for the licensees failure to provide adequate work instructions. The maintenance work instructions for a debris filter system (DFS) backwash valve motor operator did not contain adequate details to ensure the motor operator was installed correctly. The incorrectly installed motor operator prevented the DFS from mitigating an influx of algae into the circulating water system and ultimately resulted in the need for operators to manually trip the reactor.

Description:

On May 31, 2013, while Unit 2 was at approximately 40 percent power, algae accumulation in the DFS for the main generator 2A1 condenser waterbox resulted in a high differential pressure condition across the DFS. The high differential pressure reached the limit for continued operation of the 2A1 circulating water pump (CWP) and the reactor was manually tripped prior to securing the 2A1 CWP. Prior to the event, the 2A2 CWP had been removed from service to support 2A2 condenser tube repairs. Plant operation could not continue with both A train CWPs out of service. The manual reactor trip was uncomplicated and all control element assemblies fully inserted.

The licensees root cause evaluation (RCE) determined the cause of this event to be an incorrectly installed debris backwash valve. Inadequate work order instructions for the removal and reinstallation of the backwash valve motor operator resulted in the valve position being opposite of the indicated position. This resulted in the valve closing, instead of opening as required, when the 2A1 DFS was in operation. During the algae intrusion event, adequate backwash flow could not be established to clean the DFS with the closed backwash valve. Licensee administrative procedure ADM-0010432, Control of Plant Work Orders, revision 76, section 6.3, step 20.A.2, states, in part, that if a work task is particularly complicated or has other demanding requirements (i.e., beyond skill of the craft), then sufficient details to accomplish the task must be provided by the work order.

The licensee determined that an overhaul of the motor operator for this backwash valve was last completed in August 2012. Backwash valve body design had no internal stops and the stem and disc can freely spin when it is not attached to the motor operator. The torque drive nut that connects to the valve stem adapter has four keyed slots that can be installed in any orientation. The work order used for this maintenance provided no guidance for verifying proper valve alignment prior to installation of the motor operator.

As a result, the incorrect valve stem adapter keyed slot was used.

This issue was placed in the licensees corrective action program as ARs 1878615 and 1911638. The licensee completed actions to correct the installation of the debris backwash valve motor operator and added detailed instructions to the maintenance and repair procedure for the backwash valve to ensure proper valve position prior to installation of the motor operator.

Analysis:

The failure to provide adequate work instructions for installation of the backwash valve motor operator was a performance deficiency. The performance deficiency was more than minor because it was associated with the equipment reliability attribute of the initiating events cornerstone and adversely affected the cornerstone objective to limit the likelihood of those events that upset plant stability and challenge critical safety functions during power operations. Specifically, the 1A2 DFS backwash valve was installed incorrectly in August 2012. This degraded the components ability to mitigate an algae intrusion event on May 31, 2013, and resulted in a manual reactor trip.

The finding was determined to be of very low safety significance (Green) based on Exhibit 1, Initiating Events Screening Questions, found in Inspection Manual Chapter 0609, Significance Determination Process, Appendix A, Significance Determination Process for Findings At-Power (June 19, 2012). This was due to the fact that the condition did not cause a loss of mitigation equipment relied upon to transition the plant from the onset of the trip to a stable shutdown condition.

The inspectors determined the cause of this finding was associated with a cross-cutting aspect of providing complete and accurate documentation in the documentation component of the human performance area. Specifically, the licensee did not provide work instructions with enough detail to properly reinstall the1A2 backwash valve motor operator (H.7).

Enforcement:

This finding does not involve enforcement action because no violation of a regulatory requirement was identified. The DFS backwash valve was not a safety-related component required by NRC regulations. Because this finding does not involve a violation and is of very low safety significance, it is identified as a Finding.

.3 (Closed) LER 05000335/2013-003-00, Latent MV-08-03 Contactor Failure Results in

Operation Prohibited by Tech Specs

a. Inspection Scope

The LER documented that the 1C AFW pump was inoperable for a period of time that was greater than allowed by TS. The licensee determined that the total out of service time for the 1C AFW pump was 98 hours0.00113 days <br />0.0272 hours <br />1.62037e-4 weeks <br />3.7289e-5 months <br /> which exceeded the TS allowed outage time and shutdown completion time of 84 hours9.722222e-4 days <br />0.0233 hours <br />1.388889e-4 weeks <br />3.1962e-5 months <br />.

The inspectors reviewed the LER and the associated corrective action document (AR 1929130) to verify the accuracy and completeness of the LER and the appropriateness of the licensees corrective actions. The inspectors also reviewed the LER and AR to identify any licensee performance deficiencies associated with the issue.

b. Findings

On December 20, 2013, the 1C AFW pump was declared inoperable in order to perform planned maintenance on the pumps trip and throttle valve (MV-08-03). After completion of the maintenance, MV-08-03 failed to open during post maintenance testing. The valve failed due to a stuck open contact in the auxiliary switch for the valves motor line contactor. The failure was unrelated to the valve maintenance. The licensee determined that the auxiliary switch contact failed to return to its standby position following the last successful operation of the valve on December 17, 2013. The licensee concluded that rubbing between the switch operating mechanism and the switch housing had degraded the operation of the auxiliary contact. The licensee properly installed and tested the switch in November 2013. The cause of the contact failure on December 20, 2013, had not previously been recognized as a failure mode for this type of switch.

Additionally, there were no symptoms available to operators to indicate the contact had failed to return to its normal standby position. The inspectors concluded that there was no performance deficiency associated with the switch failure. The inspectors utilized available risk-informed tools to assess the safety significance of the 1C AFW pump inoperability. Based on the short amount of time that the 1C AFW pump was inoperable, the inspectors concluded this event was of very low safety significance.

St. Lucie Unit 1 TS limiting condition for operation 3.7.1.2, Auxiliary Feedwater System, required at least three independent, operable AFW pumps in plant operating modes one through three. With one AFW pump inoperable, the inoperable pump must be returned to operable status within 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br /> or Unit 1 placed in hot standby within the next twelve hours. Contrary to the above, Unit 1 operated for 98 hours0.00113 days <br />0.0272 hours <br />1.62037e-4 weeks <br />3.7289e-5 months <br /> from December 17, 2013, until December 20, 2013, with the 1C AFW pump inoperable due to a failed auxiliary contact for the trip and throttle valve. Although a violation of TS occurred; the violation was not attributable to an equipment failure that was avoidable by reasonable licensee quality assurance measures or management controls. Therefore, the TS 3.7.1.2 violation was not associated with a licensee performance deficiency. The inspectors concluded that the violation would normally be characterized as Severity Level IV based on its very low safety significance. The NRC exercised enforcement discretion (Enforcement Action (EA)-14-047) in accordance with Section 2.2.4.d of the Enforcement Policy because the violation was not associated with a licensee performance deficiency; and therefore, it will not be considered in the assessment process or the NRCs Action Matrix. This issue was documented in the licensees corrective action program as AR 1929130. Licensee corrective actions included: 1)installing and testing a new MV-08-03 auxiliary switch, 2) revision of AFW operating procedures to visually inspect the position of all auxiliary contactor switches of the same type following operation of the AFW system; and 3) modifying the contactor preventative maintenance procedure to check for binding of the switch and to verify tightness of the switch housing to prevent any misalignment between the switch and its housing. This LER is closed.

4OA5 Other Activities

.1 Review of Institute of Nuclear Power Operations (INPO) Reports

The inspectors reviewed the final report for the INPO plant assessment conducted in August 2013 to ensure that any issues identified were consistent with the NRC perspectives of St. Lucie plant performance.

.2 Independent Spent Fuel Storage Facility (ISFSI) Walk down (IP 60855.1)

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors conducted a walk down of the ISFSI controlled access fenced-in cask area per Inspection Procedure 60855.1, Operation of an ISFSI at Operating Plants.

The inspectors observed each cask building temperature indicator and passive ventilation system to be free of any obstruction allowing natural draft convection decay heat removal through the air inlet and air outlet openings. The inspectors observed associated cask building structures to be structurally intact and radiation protection access controls to the ISFSI area to be functional.

b. Findings

No findings were identified.

.3 Cross-Cutting Aspect Cross-Reference

The table below provides a cross-reference from the 2013 third and fourth quarter findings and associated cross-cutting aspects to the new cross-cutting aspects resulting from the common language initiative. These aspects and any others identified since January 2014 will be evaluated for cross-cutting themes and potential substantive cross-cutting issues in accordance with IMC 0305 starting with the 2014 mid-cycle assessment review.
