SUBJECT:

NORTH ANNA POWER STATION - NRC INTEGRATED INSPECTION REPORT NOS. 50-338/02-04 AND 50-339/02-04

Dear Mr. Christian:

On January 4, 2003, the NRC completed an integrated inspection at your North Anna Power Station, Units 1 and 2. The enclosed report documents the inspection findings which were discussed on January 15, 2003, with Mr. D. Heacock and other members of your staff.

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

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

This report documents four inspector-identified findings of very low safety significance (Green)

that were determined to involve violations of NRC requirements. However, because of the very low safety significance and because the violations were entered into your corrective action program, the NRC is treating these violations as Non-Cited Violations (NCVs) in accordance with Section VI.A.1 of the NRCs Enforcement Policy. Additionally, three licensee-identified violations are listed in Section 4OA7 of this report. If you contest any NCV in this report, you should provide a response within 30 days of the date of this inspection report, with the basis for your denial, to the United States 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 North Anna Power Station.

Since the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001, the NRC has issued two Orders (dated February 25, 2002, and January 7, 2003) and several threat advisories to licensees of commercial power reactors to strengthen licensee capabilities, improve security force readiness, and enhance access authorization. The NRC also issued Temporary Instruction 2515/148 on August 28, 2002, that provided guidance to inspectors to audit and inspect licensee implementation of the interim compensatory measures (ICMs) required by the February 25th Order. Phase 1 of TI 2515/148 was completed at all commercial nuclear power plants during calendar year (CY) 02, and the remaining inspections are scheduled for completion in CY 03. Additionally, table-top security drills were conducted at several licensees to evaluate the impact of expanded adversary characteristics and the ICMs on licensee

VEPCO 2 protection and mitigative strategies. Information gained and discrepancies identified during the audits and drills were reviewed and dispositioned by the Office of Nuclear Security and Incident Response. For CY 03, the NRC will continue to monitor overall safeguards and security controls, conduct inspections, and resume force-on-force exercises at selected power plants.

Should threat conditions change, the NRC may issue additional Orders, advisories, and temporary instructions to ensure adequate safety is being maintained at all commercial power reactors.

In accordance with 10 CFR 2.790 of the NRCs Rules of Practice, a copy of this letter and its enclosures will be available electronically for public inspection in the NRC Public Document Room or from the Publicly Available Records (PARS) component of 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).

Sincerely,

SUMMARY OF FINDINGS IR 05000338/2002-004, IR 05000339/0202-004; Virginia Electric and Power Co.; 07/15/2002-1/04/2003; North Anna Power Station Units 1 & 2; Heat Sink Performance, Inservice Inspection Activities, Operability Evaluations, and Access Control to Radiologically Significant Areas.

The report covered a three month period of inspection by resident inspectors and announced inspections by a regional senior physical security inspector, senior reactor engineer, reactor engineer, senior health physicists and two health physicists. Four Green non-cited violation (NCVs) 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). Findings for which the SDP does not apply may be Green or be assigned a severity level after NRC management review. The NRCs program for overseeing the safe operation of commercial nuclear power reactors is described in NUREG-1649, Reactor Oversight Process, Revision 3, dated July 2000.

A. Inspector-Identified and Self-Revealing Findings Cornerstone: Initiating Event C Green. An ineffective weld repair on Unit 2 control rod drive mechanism (CRDM)

Nozzle 51 J-Weld resulted in subsequent through wall leakage.

A self-revealing non-cited violation of 10 CFR Appendix B Criterion XVI was identified.

This finding is more than minor because it resulted in through wall leakage of the reactor coolant system (RCS) boundary. This finding was of very low safety significance because it is reasonable to assume no loss of function of the RCS boundary and to expect the structural integrity of the RCS to be maintained. An important factor influencing the significance was the very low likelihood of an initiating event (a medium loss of coolant accident) resulting from cracks in the CRDM nozzle J-Welds (Section 1R08).

Cornerstone: Mitigating Systems C Green: Inadequate design controls resulted in four service water supports not being constructed in accordance with design guides. These supports were to protect the safety-related service water piping and pumps from failures during seismic and other loadings.

An inspector-identified non-cited violation of 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criteria III was identified. This finding is more than minor because the supports were incorrectly constructed and allowed potential separation of the supports from the piping. The issue was determined to be of very low safety significance based upon a re-analysis for the as-built condition which concluded that the systems were operable (Section 1R07).

C Green: Non-safety/non-dedicated parts were installed in the Unit 1 safety-related steam generator power-operated relief valves. Use of these parts degraded the qualification of the valves and had the potential to render the valves inoperable from the control room.

An inspector-identified non-cited violation of 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criteria XV was identified. This finding was more than minor because it resulted in the inappropriate repair of the valves. The finding was determined to be of very low safety significance because the valves could be locally operated and the licensees conclusion that the valves were operable but degraded (Section 1R15).

Cornerstone: Occupational Radiation Safety C Green: The licensee failed to properly monitor a workers radiation exposure in a High Radiation Area (HRA).

A self-revealing non-cited violation of Technical Specification 6.12.1 (in effect prior to August 20, 2002) was identified. This finding is more than minor because it involved a failure in the personnel monitoring program which could have contributed to unintended dose to a worker, although no unintended dose appeared to have been incurred. This finding was of very low safety significance because it involved the failure to meet a regulatory requirement but did not significantly impair the licensees ability to assess radiation dose (Section 2OS1).

B. Licensee-Identified Violations Three violations of very low safety significance, which were identified by the licensee have been reviewed by the inspectors. Corrective actions taken or planned by the licensee have been entered into the licensees corrective action program. These violations and corrective action tracking numbers are listed in Section 4OA7 of this report.

Report Details Summary of Plant Status Unit 1 began the inspection period at 100% power and the unit operated at or near this level throughout the inspection period.

Unit 2 was shutdown on September 8 and remained shutdown and in a defueled condition throughout the inspection period.

1. REACTOR SAFETY Cornerstones: Initiating Events, Mitigating Systems, Barrier Integrity 1R01 Adverse Weather Protection a. Inspection Scope During the inspection period, the inspectors held discussions with operations personnel concerning cold weather preparation activities. The inspectors toured both the Unit 1 and 2 emergency diesel generator (EDG) rooms and the Station Blackout (SBO) Diesel building area. The inspectors evaluated whether the heaters in these areas were adequate and set in accordance with licensee procedure 0-GOP-4.2, Extreme Cold Weather Operations. During the tour, the inspectors assessed the condition of temporary herculite curtains installed in the EDG rooms and the condition of the SBO Diesel building insulation. These items mitigated the possibility of cold air moving rapidly into the area upon start of the diesels. The inspectors also reviewed whether the routine change-out of water to coolant in the EDG diesel cooling systems was performed.

During the inspection period, the inspectors inspected conditions in the yard area around the vicinity of the Unit 1 and 2 refueling water storage tanks (RWSTs) and the Unit 1 and 2 casing cooling tanks. Discussions were held with operations personnel concerning cold weather preparation and a review of a partially completed procedure 0-GOP-4.2, Extreme Cold Weather Operations, was conducted. The inspectors inspected the condition of temporary tents with bulb-type heaters which had been built around the casing cooling tank and RWST instrumentation enclosures and other areas of the tanks which could be susceptible to freezing conditions.

The inspectors reviewed abnormal procedure 0-AP-41.1, Service Water (SW) Spray Array Nozzle Icing and discussed the specifics of the procedure with the operations group and risk analyst personnel. These reviews and discussions included elements of risk significance and the impact of potential SW nozzle icing while the B SW header was out of service for system upgrades. In addition, the inspectors evaluated whether the risk information provided to operations personnel agreed with the information produced by the licensees risk/safety monitor.

b. Findings No findings of significance were identified.

1R04 Equipment Alignment a. Inspection Scope The inspectors performed partial walkdowns of systems, structures, and components (SSC) to determine if they were correctly aligned in accordance with appropriate procedures and drawings. The partial walkdowns were performed on a redundant train/system while the other train/system was out of service. The following SSCs were assessed for their correct alignment using the referenced documents:

C Unit 1 and Unit 2 (B Train) Service Water Systems, (1-MOP-49.09, Removing Service Water No. 2 (B) Supply and No. 3 (B) Return Headers from Service and Returning Systems to Service) and Station Drawing 11715-FM-078C, Service Water System, sheet 2 of 2; C Unit 1 Chemical and Volume Control System, (1-OP-8.1A, Valve Checkoff -

Chemical and Volume Control System Auxiliary Building) and Station Drawing 11715-FM-095B, Chemical and Volume Control System, sheet 2 of 2; and, C Unit 1 1B Motor Driven Auxiliary Feedwater Pump Suction Alignment (1-OP-31.2A, Valve Checkoff -- Auxiliary Feedwater)

b. Findings No findings of significance were identified.

1R05 Fire Protection a. Inspection Scope The inspectors assessed the implementation of the fire protection program using NAPS Appendix R Report and Virginia Power Administrative Procedure (VPAP)-2401, Fire Protection Program. The inspectors checked the control of transient combustibles and the material condition of the fire detection and fire suppression systems in the following areas:

C Unit 2 Main Condenser Area (fire in the main condenser - post-fire observations);

C Unit 1 H and Unit 1J Emergency Diesel Generator Room Areas; C Unit 1 and Unit 2 Cable Spreading Room Areas, Elevation 294';

C Unit 1 Chiller Room and Turbine Building (Zone 1) Areas; C Unit 1 Equipment Area Battery Rooms 1-2 and 1-4, Elevation 294'; and, C Technical Support Center (TSC) Ventilation Room and Plant Support Areas.

b. Findings No findings of significance were identified.

1R07 Heat Sink Performance a. Inspection Scope The inspectors selected two risk important Recirculation Spray Heat Exchangers 1-RS-E-1B and 1-RS-E-1C for inspection. The inspectors also selected associated components for inspection: Service Water Motor Operated Valves 1-SW-MOV-101A and 1-SW-MOV-104D, Service Water Check Valve 1-SW-116, and Service Water Pumps 1-WS-P-1A and 1-WS-P-1B. The inspectors used NRC Generic Letter 89-13, Service Water System Problems Affecting Safety-Related Equipment for guidelines.

The inspectors observed the sludge depth measurement in the service water reservoir.

The inspectors walked down and examined the general condition of the components in the reservoir, intake structures, service water pumps, chemical addition equipment and tanks, corrosion sampling locations, charging pumps, quench spray pumps, recirculation spray heat exchangers, and service water motor operated valves.

The inspectors reviewed selected documents associated with the selected heat exchangers and components for adequacy. The document review included procedures, design guidelines, work orders, maintenance, inspection, cleaning, performance trends, drawings, evaluations, plant issues, test records, and water chemistry data analysis.

The inspectors reviewed calculations for service water pump discharge pipe support operability evaluation and modification/repair and compared them to Civil Engineering Nuclear Standard for Welded Pipe Attachments.

b. Findings 1. Introduction A Green inspector-identified Non-Cited Violation (NCV) was identified for failure to adequately control design for service water pump discharge pipe supports as described in 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criteria III, Design Control which in part requires that measures shall be established to assure that applicable regulatory requirements and the design basis are correctly translated into specifications, drawings, procedures, and instructions.

2. Description The inspectors identified on December 13, 2002, that the licensee failed to adequately control design for the pipe supports and provide details in design drawings for construction resulting in four pipe supports (1-WS-A-23, 1-WS-A-25, 1-WS-A-27, and 1-WS-A-29) not meeting integrated design requirements as specified in Standard No.

STD-CEN-0021, Revision 5, Civil Engineering Nuclear Standard for Welded Pipe Attachments.

The licensee welded a 24-inch diameter circular pad on the run pipe at the edge of the pad and then welded a 16-inch diameter pipe trunnion on the top of the pad which differed from requirements of Section 8.3 Reinforcing Pad Installation and Attachment 8.2.1-3 of Standard No. STD-CEN-0021, Rev. 5, Civil Engineering Nuclear Standard -

Welded Pipe Attachments. Section 8.3 states " the basic requirement is that the trunnion be welded directly to the run pipe wall prior to the installation of the reinforcing pad. By providing for an integral weld between the trunnion, the run pipe wall, and the reinforcing pad, the design behaves in a manner consistent with the analysis which treats the combined pad and run pipe thickness as effective." The as-built construction did not provide the integral construction as the design calculations assumed. The pad and the run pipe could be separated when they were subjected to the tension and bending moments of the loads. Additionally, the ratio of the trunnion diameter and the run pipe diameter, the reinforcing pad outside diameter, and the minimum weld size between the pad and the run pipe did not meet the requirements stated in Standard No.

STD-CEN-0021.

3. Analysis The inspectors determined that this finding was associated with the pipe support program, engineer knowledge, experience, and process attributes and affected the objective of the Mitigation System Cornerstone to protect safety-related systems and components from failures due to the seismic and other loadings and is therefore greater than minor. If left uncorrected, this finding could result in a more significant safety concern. Failure to control the pipe support design and not provide details in the drawings for an integral construction resulted in incorrect construction of the pipe supports and allowed potential separation of the supports from the pipe. The issue was determined to be of very low safety significance (Green) based upon Plant Issue Resolution N-2002-3404-R1 (Revision 1) which referenced a re-analysis of calculation ME-1553, Revision 0, Add 00B. This calculation re-analysis for the as-built condition concluded that the systems were operable.

4. Enforcement 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criteria III, Design Control which in part requires that measures shall be established to assure that applicable regulatory requirements and the design basis are correctly translated into specifications, drawings, procedures, and instructions.

Contrary to the above, the licensees failure to correctly translate requirements into the design drawings to provide details resulted in a condition which failed to meet the design requirements and was not adequately analyzed for design loads. Because the failure to adequately control the design drawings is of very low safety significance and has been entered into the corrective action program (Plant Issue N-2002-3404), this violation is being treated as an NCV, consistent with Section VI.A.1 of the NRC Enforcement Policy:

NCV 50-338, 339/02-04-01, Failure to Control Design Drawings for an Integral Construction of Trunnion, Pad, and Run Pipe in Service Water Pump Discharge Pipe Supports.

1R08 Inservice Inspection (ISI) Activities a. Inspection Scope The inspectors observed in-process ISI work activities associated with Unit 2 and reviewed selected ISI records. The observations and records were compared to the

Technical Specifications (TS) and the applicable Code (ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, Sections V and XI, 1995 Edition, with 1996 Addenda) to verify compliance.

Calibration of Ultrasonic (UT) examination equipment and portions of the ongoing manual UT examination of the reactor vessel head studs was observed. Visual (VT)

examination of ten reactor vessel head nuts and washers was observed. The inspectors reviewed selected inspection records for the eddy current examination (ET) of the steam generators (SG). The records were compared to the Technical Specifications (TS),

License Amendments and applicable industry established performance criteria to verify compliance. Qualification and certification records for examiners, equipment and procedures for the above ISI examination activities were reviewed.

Additionally, the inspectors observed activities relative to inspection of the Unit 2 reactor vessel head penetrations (VHPs). The inspection included review of nondestructive examination (NDE) procedures, assessment of NDE personnel training and qualification, and observation and assessment of visual (VT), Ultrasonic, Liquid Penetrant (PT) and eddy current (ET) examinations. Discussions were also held with contractor representatives and other licensee personnel. The activities were examined to verify licensee compliance with regulatory requirements. Specifically, the inspectors reviewed or observed: (1) VT inspection using remote video of a sample of Reactor Pressure Vessel (RPV) head penetrations for leakage; (2) in-process acquisition and analysis of Grooveman ET examination data of reactor vessel head Control Rod Drive Mechanism (CRDM) nozzle outside diameter (OD) and J-Welds; (3) UT and ET Open Housing scanning analysis activities of the inside diameter (ID) of the nozzle for various CRDM penetrations; (4) ET Gapscan blade probe analysis activities of ID of the nozzle for various CRDM penetrations and (5) weld PT examination reports for J-Welds performed on CRDM Nozzles 51, 53, 55, 57, 62, and 63. A total of 35 Plant Issues associated with the Unit 2 Reactor Head visual inspection and subsequent NDE activities from the licensees corrective action program were reviewed by the inspectors.

b. Findings 1. Introduction A Green self-revealing NCV associated with the licensees VHP inspection results was identified. CRDM nozzle 51 had been previously repaired following identification of leakage during the fall 2001 Unit 2 outage and the method of performing those repairs had not been effective.

2. Description Evidence of new boric acid leakage at the start of the fall 2002 outage and rejectable PT indications on the J-weld for nozzle 51 indicated that the embedded flaw method for performing overlay repairs on nozzle 51 was not effective after only nine months of operation. The licensee captured this issue in their corrective action program as Plant Issue N-2002-2335. Additionally, the licensee identified that the weld overlay repairs performed on nozzles 51, 62, and 63 during November 2001 had not completely covered the entire Inconel weld and/or butter region of the J-Weld. The licensee captured this issue in their corrective action program as Plant issue N-2002-2656.

3. Analysis This finding affected the Initiating Events objective of limiting the likelihood of loss of coolant accidents (LOCAs). The finding was processed through the significance determination process Phase 1 and was determined to be of very low safety significance (Green). This was based on assumptions for this deficiency that there would have been no loss of function of the reactor coolant system (RCS) pressure boundary and that it is reasonable to expect the structural integrity of the RCS to have been maintained. This is due to the fact that the cracks found in the CRDM welds have minimal potential to structurally fail in a manner that would allow a nozzle to be ejected. Although leakage through the welds creates an environment around the nozzle above the welds that could lead to circumferential cracking of the nozzle and potentially to nozzle ejection, volumetric inspection of nozzle 51 by the licensee did not indicate circumferential cracking. Also considered were the extensive time to reach the critical crack length, the numerous licensee inspections that would take place allowing for identification and repair prior to reaching the critical crack length and the full compliment of emergency core cooling systems that are capable of protecting the core from the potential LOCA that would result from a nozzle ejection. The results of the licensees CRDM nozzle examinations were documented in licensee letter Serial 02-491A dated October 18, 2002, Response to NRC Bulletin 2002-02.

4. Enforcement 10 CFR Appendix B Criterion XVI requires that conditions adverse to quality be identified and corrected. Contrary to the above, the licensees weld overlay repair method was not effective in repairing weld cracks in nozzle 51 during the fall 2001 outage, and resulted in additional through wall leakage. This event constituted a violation of NRC requirements. Because this finding was of very low safety significance and has been entered into licensees corrective action program (Plant Issues N-2002-2335 and N-2002-2656) it is being treated as a NCV, consistent with Section VI.A.1 of the NRC Enforcement Policy: NCV 50-339/02-04-02, Inadequate Weld Overlay Repairs on CRDM Nozzle 51 J-Weld.

1R11 Licensed Operator Requalification a. Inspection Scope During the week of October 13, the inspectors observed licensed operator requalification training involving shift operators and supervisors. The inspectors watched a portion of one session of simulator training. This session involved a simulated loss of nuclear instrumentation with a RCS pressure instrumentation failure.

During the observed simulator session, the inspectors evaluated the crew performance in: 1) knowledge of plant technical issues, 2) use of the phonetic alphabet and 3-way communications, and 3) use of command and control techniques by supervisors. The adequacy of evaluator critique was also assessed. In addition, during the week of December 16, the inspectors discussed the licensees performance of Job Performance Measures (JPMs) with management and training personnel.

b. Findings No findings of significance were identified. The review of the Plant Issue N-2002-3445 is discussed in Section 4OA2 1R12 Maintenance Effectiveness a. Inspection Scope For the equipment issues described in the plant issues listed below, the inspectors evaluated the licensees effectiveness of the corresponding preventive and corrective maintenance. Inspectors performed walkdown of the accessible portions of the system, performed in-office reviews of procedures and evaluations, and held discussions with system engineers. Inspectors compared the licensees actions with the requirements of the Maintenance Rule (10 CFR 50.65) using VPAP 0815, Maintenance Rule Program, and Engineering Transmittal CEP-97-0018, North Anna Maintenance Rule Scoping and Performance Criteria Matrix.

C N-2001-2381-R3 and N-2002-0606 - Continued unreliability of the charging/HHSI pump seals - Due to continued pump seal unreliability, the licensees Maintenance Rule Working Group approved recommendations to place all of the pump seals in the a(1) status with a return to an a(2) status no sooner than 8/31/06. This date corresponds to one year after the planned seal replacement on the last charging/HHSI pump.

C N-2002-2883, N-2002-2829, and N-2002-2819 - Maintenance activities associated with major maintenance performed on the 2H emergency diesel generator (EDG).

These maintenance activities were performed during an extended shutdown of the EDG for replacement of the EDGs cylinder liners. Activities observed included replacement of various engine temperature switches and an auxiliary oil pump coupling and repairs of EDG oil leaks. Documentation reviewed included unavailability of the EDG and associated information in the licensees maintenance rule program and equipment reliability database.

C N-2002-2909 - Activities associated with the placement of the Unit 1A feedwater regulating valve 1-FW-FCV-1478 in manual override due to a significant air leak from tubing located inside the positioner. Documents reviewed by the inspectors included applicable technical specifications, the corrective action program data base, the maintenance rule scoping document, and maintenance operation procedure (MOP) 1-MOP-31.5, Operation of Feedwater Control Valves Using Manual Override. The inspectors attended the pre-job brief and assessed work practices of craft personnel during observation of the corrective maintenance activities. The inspectors also witnessed the performance of the MOP.

C N-2002-3440 - Activities associated with the repair of the Unit 1 A charging pump auxiliary oil pump - The licensee initiated a work request (WR141746) to troubleshoot the system and determined that the pumps beaker had thermalled -

out. The inspectors assessed work practices during the repair.

b. Findings No findings of significance were identified.

1R13 Maintenance Risk Assessments and Emergent Work Control a. Inspection Scope The inspectors reviewed the licensees scheduled or emergent work activities to assess the management of plant risk. The inspectors evaluated if the assessments of risk were performed in accordance with requirements of 10CFR50.65 (a)(4) and plant procedures.

Additionally, the inspectors reviewed the licensees actions to minimize the probability of initiating events, maintain the functional capability of mitigating systems, and maintain barrier integrity. The risk impact of performing the following work activities was assessed:

C Work Request 00131370 - Emergent work associated with the Unit 2A Instrument Air (IA) Compressor Accumulator Outlet Pressure Switch (2-IA-PS-220A). The inspectors noted that troubleshooting/repair work was not initially captured by risk assessments; however, an appropriate assessment was performed prior to taking the system out of service and overall risk conditions remained in a green window; C Work Orders 00461506-01 and 00463399-01- Unit 1 Turbine Driven AFW Pump1-FW-P-2 Testing. Review was associated with the risk assessment involving the B service water header out of service with switchyard work being performed along with the AFW pump testing. Analysis presented a 40-day green window; C Work Orders 00435572-01 and 00435571-01 - Station Blackout (SBO) Diesel Troubleshooting and Repair - Incorrect SBO switch setpoint resulted in the SBO failing to shutdown after a post-maintenance test. An appropriate risk assessment was performed prior to taking the system out of service and overall risk conditions remained in a green window; and, C Plant Issues N-2002-3427, N-2002-3427, and N-2002-3457 - The inspectors reviewed documents and held discussions with operations, engineering, and scheduling risk analysis personnel associated with a yellow window risk assessment. This yellow risk assessment resulted from the performance of site switchyard work while concurrently having the Unit 1 AMSAC , the 2B Component Cooling Water Pump/Heat Exchanger, the 1A Instrument Air Compressor, Unit 1A Motor Driven AFW Pump, and the SBO Diesel out of service.

b. Findings No findings of significance were identified.

1R15 Operability Evaluations a. Inspection Scope The inspectors evaluated the technical adequacy of operability evaluations to ensure that operability was properly justified and the subject component or system remained available such that no unrecognized increase in risk occurred. The reviewed operability evaluations were described in the following plant issues:

C N-2002-2490 - Unit 2 B RCS Cold Leg Loop Isolation Valve 2-RC-MOV-2593 -

Pieces of valves guide and pin were missing - Valve repaired during Unit 2 outage; C N-2002-2922 - Unit 1 B SWS Pump Pipe Support - Use of filler material (bar stock) at the baseplate of a fillet weld reinforcement for the support; C N-2002-3049 - Unit 2 Cable Spreading Room Area Fire Door - Excessive door gap conditions existed on the double door assembly; C N-2002-3033 - Unit 1 AFW Pipe Supports - Surface corrosion on the these supports (supports located in an underground AFW pipe tunnel; C N-2002-3265 - 1J Emergency Diesel Generator (EDG) - Cover gasket blew during testing of the EDG; and, C N-2002-3514 and N-2002-3474 - Use of non-dedicated, non-safety (unqualified)

positioner parts in the controllers for the U1 and U2 S/G PORVs - Licensee determined that the PORVs were operable but degraded. Current licensee program for control of such parts allowed for their use - Potential finding/non-compliance with Part 50, Appendix. B, Criterion XV - Use of non-safety (non-dedicated) parts in safety-related equipment.

b. Findings 1. Introduction A Green NCV was identified for the licensees use of non-safety, non-dedicated (unqualified) positioner parts in the Unit 1 safety-related steam generator (S/G)

pressure-operated relief valve (PORV) controllers. Use of non-safety parts to repair safety-related equipment is prohibited by 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criteria XV, Nonconforming Materials, Parts, or Components. Criterion XV requires that measures shall be established to control parts which do not conform to requirements in order to prevent their inadvertent use or installation.

2. Description The inspectors discovered on December 19, 2002 that the licensee had placed non-safety, non-dedicated (unqualified) positioner parts in the Unit 2 S/G PORV controllers. The inspectors noted that Unit 2 remained in an outage configuration, was defueled and the installation of such parts did not adversely impact Unit 2 operations.

However, the inspectors further investigated the extent of condition and discovered on December 26, 2002, that the licensee had also inappropriately installed non-safety, non-dedicated parts in the Unit 1 S/G PORV controllers. The inspectors also noted that the licensees program for ensuring that such parts were not in safety-related equipment, was deficient and had apparently allowed for installation of such parts.

3. Analysis The inspectors determined that this finding was associated with the licensees safety-related repair parts procurement program, the licensees safety-related parts repair and replacement program, and the licensees maintenance program and it affected the objective of the mitigation system cornerstone to protect safety-related systems and components from failures due to inappropriate repairs and is therefore greater than minor. If these failures are left uncorrected, this finding could result in more significant safety concerns. Failures of licensee programs to prevent inadvertent installation of non-safety parts into safety-related components can affect component availability. The finding was determined to be of very low safety significance (green)

because the valves could be locally operated and the licensees conclusion that the valves were operable but degraded.

4. Enforcement 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criteria XV, Nonconforming Materials, Parts, or Components Criteria III, Design Control requires that measures shall be established to control parts which do not conform to requirements in order to prevent their inadvertent use or installation. Contrary to the above, the licensees failure to appropriately control the use of non-safety parts resulted in a condition that could have rendered the valves inoperable from control room operation and a condition which would have then required manual operation of the valves. This could have adversely impacted pressure control of the steam generators. Because the failure is of very low safety significance and has been entered into the corrective action program (Plant Issue N-2002-3514), this violation is being treated as an NCV, consistent with Section VI.A.1 of the NRC Enforcement Policy: NCV 50-338/02-04-03: Licensee Parts Program Allowed for the Use of Non-Safety Parts in the Safety-Related Unit 1 Steam Generator Pressure-Operated Relief Valve Controllers.

1R16 Operator Work-Arounds (OWAs)

a. Inspection Scope The inspectors reviewed operator workaround (OWA) 96-OWA-C28, HP Turbine Gland Steam Header Dump PCV bypass MOVs. The inspectors discussed the OWA with the cognizant engineer. The OWA had been open for a long time due to a proposed design change which was later determined not to be necessary. The item was subsequently addressed by procedural changes to the turbine building and main control room logs which required enhanced monitoring of the components. This OWA will be closed once the UFSAR is updated to reflect the procedure changes.

Additionally, the inspectors reviewed the three priority A OWAs listed in the data base for their cumulative effects. This review included the cumulative effects of the OWAs on equipment reliability, availability, and the ability of the operators to respond in a correct and timely manner to plant transients.

b. Findings No findings of significance were identified.

1R19 Post-Maintenance Testing a. Inspection Scope The inspectors reviewed the following post-maintenance test (PMT) procedures and activities associated with repair or replacement of the following components to determine if the procedures and test activities were adequate to verify operability and functional capability of the equipment:

C Unit 2 2H Emergency Diesel Generator (EDG) Slow Start Test (2-PT-82H, 2H Emergency Diesel Generator Slow Start Test);

C Unit 1 Recirculating Spray System (B Train) (1-PT-213.7B, Valve Inservice Inspection (B Train of Recirculating Spray System);

C Unit 1 1J EDG Slow Start Test (1-PT-82J, 1J Emergency Diesel Generator Slow Start Test);

C Unit 1 1A Charging Pump Motor Operated Suction and Discharge Valve Tests (1-PT-14.1, Charging Pump 1-CH-P-1A and 1-PT-213.2A, Valve Inservice Inspection Charging Pump 1-CH-P-1A MOVs); and C Unit 1 1A Service Water Supply Valve Tests (1-PT-213.2A.1, Valve Inservice Inspection for SW Supply Check Valves to 1-CH-P-1A Lube Oil and Gear Box Coolers).

b. Findings No findings of significance were identified.

1R20 Refueling and Outage Activities a. Inspection Scope Unit 2 was shutdown on September 8 for a scheduled refueling outage and vessel head inspection. The unit remained shutdown throughout the inspection period due to a licensee decision to replace the existing reactor vessel head with a new reactor vessel head. Refueling outage activities were administratively declared completed on October 8, with vessel head repairs/replacement activities continuing. During the outage, the inspectors observed some of the following activities; 1)core defueling, 2) 2H emergency diesel generator overhaul, 3) 2A/2B/2C reactor coolant pump motor cooler cleaning, 4)

2-1 and 2-2 battery cell replacement and 5) Trains A and B service water system -

flexible joint discharge piping replacement. Portions of these activities were observed from the beginning of the outage in September until the official end of the refueling portion of the outage in October.

b. Findings No findings of significance were identified.

1R22 Surveillance Testing a. Inspection Scope For the surveillance tests listed below, the inspectors examined the test procedure and either witnessed the testing and/or reviewed test records to determine whether the scope of testing adequately demonstrated that the affected equipment was functional and operable:

C 1-PT-71.3Q, 1-FW-P-3B, B Motor-Driven AFW Pump, and Valve Test; C 1-PT-57.1B, Emergency Core Cooling Subsystem-Low Head Safety Injection Pump (1-SI-P-1B);

C 1-PT-64-4B, Casing Cooling Pump (1-RS-P-3B) Test; C 1-PT-71.1Q, 1-FW-P-2, Turbine-driven Auxiliary Feedwater Pump and Valve Test; C 1-PT-213.31, Valve In-Service Inspection (Main Steam Supply Check Valves to 1-FW-P-2);

C 1-PT-213.20, Valve In-Service Inspection (1-MS-TV-111A and 1-MS-TV-111B);

. C 1-PT-57.1A, Emergency Core Cooling Subsystem-Low Head Safety Injection Pump (1-SI-P-1A); and, C 1-PT-213.8A, Valve In-Service Inspection (A Train of Safety Injection System).

b. Findings No findings of significance were identified.

1R23 Temporary Plant Modifications a. Inspection Scope The inspectors reviewed the details of temporary modification (TM) 1705 to determine whether system operability/availability was affected; configuration control was maintained; and the associated safety evaluation was justifiably implemented. The purpose of the TM was to change setpoints associated with the compressed air system for the Unit 1 main generator G-12 breaker in an effort to stop the leak by of the systems high pressure receiver tank inlet isolation valve (1-GB-SOV-610B). The inspectors also discussed the TM with the responsible engineer and was informed that the TM will be made permanent during the Unit 1 2003 refueling outage.

b. Findings No findings of significance were identified.

Cornerstone: Emergency Preparedness 1EP1 Exercise Evaluation a. Inspection Scope The inspectors reviewed the objectives and scenario for the North Anna Power Station biennial, full-participation 2002 emergency response exercise to determine whether they were designed to suitably test major elements of the licensees emergency plan.

During the period July 15-19, 2002, the inspectors observed and evaluated the licensees performance in the exercise, as well as selected activities related to the licensees conduct and self-assessment of the exercise. The exercise was conducted on July 16, 2002. Licensee activities inspected during the exercise included those occurring in the Control Room Simulator (CRS), Technical Support Center (TSC),

Operational Support Center (OSC), and the Local Emergency Operations Facility (LEOF). The NRCs evaluation focused on the risk-significant activities of event classification, notification of governmental authorities, onsite protective actions, offsite protective action recommendations, and accident mitigation. The inspectors also evaluated command and control, the transfer of emergency responsibilities between facilities, communications, adherence to procedures, and the overall implementation of the emergency plan. The inspectors attended the post-exercise critique to evaluate the licensee's self-assessment process, as well as the presentation of critique results to plant management.

b. Findings No findings of significance were identified.

1EP4 Emergency Action Level and Emergency Plan Changes a. Inspection Scope The inspector reviewed Revision Numbers 24, 25, and 26 to the Radiological Emergency Plan (REP), against the requirements of 10 CFR 50.54(q) to determine whether any of those changes decreased REP effectiveness.

b. Findings No findings of significance were identified.

2. RADIATION SAFETY Cornerstones: Occupational Radiation Safety (OS) and Public Radiation Safety (PS)

2OS1 Access Control To Radiologically Significant Areas

.1 Access Controls a. Inspection Scope Licensee program activities for monitoring workers and controlling access to radiologically significant areas and tasks were inspected. The inspectors evaluated procedural guidance; directly observed implementation of administrative and established physical controls; assessed worker exposures to radiation and radioactive material; and appraised radiation worker and technician proficiency in implementing radiation protection program activities.

The licensees procedures for posting, surveying, and controlling access to airborne radioactivity areas, radiation areas, high radiation areas, locked high radiation areas, and very high radiation areas were reviewed by the inspectors for consistency with applicable Technical Specifications (TS) and 10 CFR 20 requirements. During plant tours, the inspectors evaluated radiological postings and barricades against the current radiological surveys in areas of the Auxiliary Building and the Unit 2 Containment Building to determine the appropriateness of the established radiological controls. In addition, the inspectors conducted independent radiological surveys and compared the results to dose rates recorded on current survey maps at various locations in the Unit 2 Containment Building to determine the accuracy of surveys.

The inspectors observed designated locked high radiation doors and evaluated their established controls against TS requirements. The inspectors also evaluated implementation of key controls and postings for Very High Radiation Areas and locked high radiation areas. Internal dose assessments were evaluated and assigned dose calculations were independently assessed for accuracy and consistency with licensee procedures.

The inspectors reviewed selected Radiation Work Permit (RWP) guidance used to access radiologically significant areas associated with the Unit 2 refueling outage work to evaluate incorporation of appropriate access controls and electronic dosimeters setpoints for the expected radiological conditions. Through worker interviews, radiologically controlled area tours, and selected job site observations, the inspectors evaluated radiation worker and radiation protection staff training/skill level, adherence to access control procedures and RWP requirements, and understanding of RWP requirements and dosimetry setpoints.

License procedures and activities related to access controls were evaluated for consistency with 10 CFR 19.12; 10 CFR 20, Subparts B, C, F, G, H, and J; and TS 6.12 High Radiation Area (in effect prior to August 20, 2002); TS 5.4, Procedures, and 5.7,

High Radiation Area (in effect after August 20, 2002). Licensees access control related procedures, reports, and records reviewed during the inspection are listed in the Attachment to this report.

b. Findings 1. Introduction A Green self-revealing NCV of TS 6.12.1 (in effect prior to August 20, 2002) was identified for failure to properly monitor a workers radiation exposure in a High Radiation Area (HRA).

2. Description On November 9, 2001, a contract worker entered a posted HRA on the 216 foot (')

elevation of the Unit 2 Containment Building without a digital alarming dosimeter (DAD),

a survey instrument, or continuous Health Physics (HP) coverage. The worker carried cables and equipment through the HRA to the entrance of a posted VHRA. The HP Technician providing continuous HP coverage in the VHRA did not notice that the worker was not wearing a DAD but was notified by the HP Shift Supervisor that the workers DAD had been found in the clean change room. The worker was escorted out of the HRA by a HP Technician.

The worker was wearing a thermoluminescent dosimeter (TLD) during the Radiologically Controlled Area (RCA) entry. The workers assigned dose was 44 mrem for the period October 5, 2001 through October 9, 2001, which included the subject RCA entry.

Although the worker did not constantly accompany the two other job crew members during the entire RCA entry, the co-workers DAD readings for similar activities during the entry were less than one mrem each.

3. Analysis This finding was determined to be greater than minor because it involved a failure in the personnel monitoring program which could have contributed to unintended dose to a worker, although no unintended dose appeared to have been incurred. In accordance with the Occupational Radiation Exposure Significance Determination Process, the finding was determined to be of very low safety significance (Green) because it involved a failure to meet a regulatory requirement, but the licensees ability to assess the individuals dose was not significantly compromised.

4. Enforcement TS 6.12.1 requires personnel entering a High Radiation Area (HRA) to have a DAD, a survey instrument, or continuous Health Physics coverage. Failure to properly monitor a workers radiation exposure in a HRA on November 9, 2001, is identified as a violation of TS 6.12.1. Because this finding was of very low safety significance and has been entered into licensees corrective action program (Plant Issue N-2001-3301), it is being treated as a NCV, consistent with Section VI.A.1 of the NRC Enforcement Policy:

Failure to Properly Monitor Worker Radiation Exposure in a High Radiation Area.

.2 Problem Identification and Resolution a. Inspection Scope The inspectors reviewed an audit and self assessments related to controlling access to radiologically significant areas, as listed in the Attachment to this report. The audit and self assessments were evaluated against the periodic program review requirements specified in 10 CFR 20. The inspectors reviewed radiation protection records and interviewed workers and management to determine if any events had occurred which involved dose rates greater than 25 R/hr at 30 centimeters or greater than 500 R/hr at 1 meter. The inspectors assessed the licensees ability to identify, characterize, prioritize, and resolve the identified issues in accordance with Virginia Power Administrative Procedure (VPAP) 1601, Corrective Action, Revision (Rev.) 15.

b. Findings No findings of significance were identified.

.3 Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation (ISFSI)

a. Inspection Scope Access control and surveillance results for the licensees ISFSI were evaluated. The evaluation included review of ISFSI radiation control surveillance procedures and assessment of radiological survey data. The inspectors toured the ISFSI and observed access controls, thermoluminescent dosimeter (TLD) locations and material condition, and radiological postings on the perimeter security fence. The inspectors observed a licensee technician perform gamma and neutron radiation surveys of the most recently placed spent-fuel cask and at the perimeter fence. Survey results were compared to the most recent survey records.

Program guidance, access controls, postings, equipment material condition and surveillance data results were reviewed against applicable sections of the ISFSI Safety Analysis Report (SAR), ISFSI TS, 10 CFR Parts 20 and 72, and applicable licensee procedures. Licensee guidance documents, records, and data reviewed within this inspection area are listed in Section 2OS1 of the report Attachment.

b. Findings No findings of significance were identified.

2OS2 ALARA Planning and Controls

.1 As Low As Is Reasonably Achievable (ALARA) Planning and Controls a. Inspection Scope The plant collective exposure history for the years 1999 through 2001, based on the data reported pursuant to 10 CFR 20.2206 (c), was reviewed and discussed with the

licensee. Implementation of the licensees ALARA program during the Unit 2 refueling outage was observed and evaluated by the inspectors during the weeks of September 9, and 30, 2002. The inspectors reviewed ALARA planning, dose estimates, and prescribed ALARA controls for the five outage work activities expected to incur the maximum collective exposures. Those activities were: valve maintenance, installation and removal of scaffolding, repair of valve 2-RC-MOV-2593, Disassemble/Reassemble reactor head, and reactor head inspections. Incorporation of the planning, established work controls, and expected dose and dose rates into ALARA pre-job briefings and Radiation Work Permits (RWPs) for those activities was also reviewed. Those elements of the ALARA program were evaluated for consistency with the methods, practices, and philosophy delineated in the licensees Station ALARA Program. The inspectors also conducted independent confirmatory radiation surveys of selected job sites to assess the accuracy of the dose rates recorded on pre-job survey maps for work areas in the Unit 2 Containment Building.

Records of year-to-date individual radiation exposures sorted by work groups were examined by the inspectors for significant variations of exposures among workers.

Exposure tracking during the Unit 2 outage and records of exposures to declared pregnant workers incurred since November 2000 were also examined.

Selected elements of the licensees source term reduction and control program were examined. Program data and information for hot spot identification and removal, radiation field monitoring and trending, temporary shielding, and primary chemistry shutdown controls were examined by the inspectors to determine whether the program was effective in reducing exposure.

The licensees ALARA program implementation and practices were evaluated by the inspectors for consistency with TS 5.4.1, Procedures, and 5.7, High Radiation Area Controls (in effect after August 20, 2002); 10 CFR Part 20 requirements; and procedural guidance documented in the Attachment to this report. Incurred exposures were evaluated for consistency with 10 CFR Part 20 dose limits, the guidance provided in Regulatory Guide 8.29 and licensee administrative procedures.

b. Findings No findings of significance were identified.

.2 Problem Identification and Resolution a. Inspection Scope The inspectors reviewed an audit and self assessments related to the ALARA program, as listed in the Attachment to this report. The audit and self assessments were evaluated against periodic program review requirements specified in 10 CFR 20. The inspectors assessed the licensees ability to identify, characterize, prioritize, and resolve the identified issues in accordance with VPAP-1601, Corrective Action, Rev. 15.

b. Findings No findings of significance were identified.

2PS2 Radioactive Material Processing and Transportation

.1 Waste Processing and Characterization a. Inspection Scope The inspectors walked down operational and abandoned radwaste processing systems.

The operational systems were examined for unmonitored release pathways and the abandoned equipment was examined to determine whether it been properly drained.

The operational components and equipment were compared to system descriptions contained in the process control plan and UFSAR. Process changes made since the last inspection of this area were reviewed.

Inspectors reviewed the licensees procedures for sampling and analysis of wastes streams pursuant to 10 CFR 61.55 requirements. Analytical results were reviewed to determine whether all waste streams were being periodically sampled, trended and evaluated as required. Analyses were also reviewed to determine whether appropriate scaling factors for activated materials, fission products and transuranics were current.

The review included the licensees procedures for transferring, sampling and mixing radioactive resins and documentation for vendor and licensees laboratory inter-comparison analyses.

b. Findings No findings of significance were identified.

.2 Transportation a. Inspection Scope The inspectors reviewed Type B shipping cask opening, closing and performance testing procedures for consistency with the vendor manual for irradiated fuel shipping cask USA/9225/B(U)F-85. Multiple revisions of the Certificate of Compliance (COC) for cask USA/9225/B(U)F-85 were reviewed. Additionally, the documentation for a Type A WTR-4 cask used to ship an activated reactor head sample was reviewed.

The inspectors assessed training for individuals responsible for shipping radioactive material. This was accomplished by observation of work, review of completed shipping records, and evaluation of training courses and lesson plans for initial qualification.

The inspectors reviewed the records for the following types of shipments: highway route controlled quantity (HRCQ), Low Specific Activity (LSA) exclusive use, Surface Contaminated Object (SCO) exclusive use, LSA nonexclusive use, and instruments and articles.

The inspectors observed licensees preparation of a shipment of pressurizer safety valves to a vendor for inspection, refurbishment, and calibration. The observed activities included: package inspection, surveys, labels and markings, vehicle placarding, vehicle checks, emergency instructions, verification of drivers training certification, shipping papers provided to driver, and licensee verification of shipment readiness.

Personnel training, shipment preparations, and shipping documentation was reviewed for compliance with 10 CFR 61, 10 CFR 71, and 49 CFR 171-189 requirements.

b. Findings No findings of significance were identified.

.3 Problem Identification and Resolution a. Inspection Scope The inspectors reviewed an audit and self assessments related to radioactive material processing and transportation, as listed in the Attachment to this report. The audit and self assessments were evaluated against periodic program review requirements specified in 10 CFR 20. The inspectors assessed the licensees ability to identify, characterize, prioritize, and resolve the identified issues in accordance with VPAP-1601, Corrective Action, Rev. 15.

b. Findings No findings of significance were identified.

4. OTHER ACTIVITIES 4OA1 Performance Indicator Verification

.1 Occupational Radiation Safety Performance Indicator Verification a. Inspection Scope The inspectors interviewed responsible personnel and reviewed corrective action program records for the period August 1, 2001 to September 9, 2002 to verify the accuracy of the data submitted by the licensee for the Occupational Exposure-Control Effectiveness PI. Records were reviewed for events associated with access control, unplanned exposures, and untimely identification and resolution of problems. The licensees disposition of the reviewed issues and events was evaluated against NEI 99-02, Regulatory Assessment Performance Indicator Guideline, Revision 2.

b. Findings No findings of significance were identified.

.2 Public Radiation Safety Performance Indicator Verifications a. Inspection Scope The inspectors interviewed responsible personnel and reviewed corrective action program records for the period August 1, 2001 to September 9, 2002 to verify the accuracy of the data submitted by the licensee for the Radiological Effluent Technical Specifications/Offsite Dose Calculation Manual PI. Records were reviewed for liquid or gaseous effluent releases that were reported to the NRC. The licensees disposition of the reviewed issues and events was evaluated against NEI 99-02, Regulatory Assessment Performance Indicator Guideline, Revision 2.

b. Findings No findings of significance were identified.

.3 Plant Operations Verifications a. Inspection Scope The inspectors performed a periodic review of the PI data reported to the NRC for the following performance indicators:

C Unplanned scrams per 7000 critical hours (Initiating Events) - PI data reviewed for the fourth quarter of 2001 through the third quarter of 2002.

C Scrams with loss of normal heat removal (Initiating Events) - PI data reviewed for the fourth quarter of 2001 through the third quarter of 2002.

C RCS specific activity (Barrier Integrity) - PI data reviewed for the fourth quarter of 2001 through the third quarter of 2002.

C Emergency AC Power System Unavailability (Mitigating Systems) - PI data reviewed for the fourth quarter of 2001 to third quarter of 2002.

C Residual Heat Removal System Unavailability (Mitigating Systems) - PI data reviewed for the fourth quarter of 2001 to the third quarter of 2002.

The data reviewed for the PIs above was compared to that displayed on the NRCs web site. The documents reviewed included monthly operating reports, licensee event reports, inspection reports, Technical Specifications, the licensees corrective action program database and NEI 99-02, Regulatory Assessment Performance Indicator Guideline. The inspectors also discussed the PIs with licensee personnel responsible for the PI data input and reporting to the NRC. During a review of the licensees corrective action program database, the inspectors noted that an administrative error was made wherein unplanned unavailability hours was counted in the planned unavailability hours for the 2J emergency diesel generator. This error did not result in the color threshold being exceeded since the total number of hours remained the same.

The error was documented in Plant Issue N-2002-2818.

b. Findings No findings of significance were identified.

.4 Emergency Preparedness Performance Indicator Verifications a. Inspection Scope On July 17, 2002, licensee records were reviewed to determine whether the submitted PI statistics (through the second quarter of 2002) were calculated in accordance with the guidance contained in Section 2.4 (Emergency Preparedness Cornerstone) of NEI 99-02, Revision 2, Regulatory Assessment Performance Indicator Guideline. The following PIs were reviewed:

C Emergency Response Organization Drill/Exercise Performance PI C ERO Drill Participation PI C Alert and Notification System Reliability PI The inspectors assessed the accuracy of the PI for ERO drill and exercise performance (DEP) through review of a sample of drill records and simulator evaluation reports. The latest reported DEP PI value (an aggregate of data from the past eight quarters) was 95.6 percent. The accuracy of the PI for ERO drill participation was assessed through review of the training records for selected individuals assigned to key positions in the ERO as of the end of the second quarter of 2002. The latest reported ERO drill participation PI value was 93.0 percent. The inspectors assessed the accuracy of the PI for the alert and notification system reliability through review of a sample of the licensees records of the quarterly full cycle tests, and the biweekly silent tests conducted for the past 4 quarters. The latest reported ANS reliability PI value was 99.5 percent.

b. Findings No findings of significance were identified.

4OA2 Identification and Resolution of Problems a. Inspection Scope In order to periodically assess licensee corrective action program (CAP) effectiveness, the inspectors; 1) attended various licensee CAP meetings, 2) discussed the results of the CAP meetings with appropriate licensee personnel, and 3) reviewed various corrective action program documents.

These activities were performed in order to note if the licensees CAP demonstrated ; 1)

a complete/accurate identification of problems, 2) proper dispositioning of performance issues (specifically those associated with maintenance effectiveness), 3) appropriate evaluation and dispositioning of operability/reportability issues, 4) consideration for extent of condition, generic implications, common cause, and previous problem occurrences, 5) appropriate classification/prioritization for problem resolution, 6) proper and accurate identification of root/contributing causes, 7) appropriate identification of proposed corrective actions, and 8) if applicable, timely completion of corrective actions commensurate with the issues safety significance. During the inspection period, the following items were reviewed by the inspectors:

1. N-2002-3017 - Use of a Westinghouse fuel accident analysis for NRC approval of Framatome fuel; 2. N-2002-3271 - Sufficiency of RCS flow through Unit 2 PZR spray valve 2-RC-PCV-2455A - Engineering documentation related to spray flow versus valve discharge opening was thoroughly reviewed by the inspectors and discussed with engineering personnel; and, 3. N-2002-3445 - Inadequate supervisory observation of operations department Job Performance Measures (JPMs).

b. Findings N-2002-3017 Corporate engineering identified that Framatome accident analysis for a Framatome fuel was deficient in addressing sub-atmospheric containment and decided to use a Westinghouse analysis to support use of Framatome fuel. Because of the differences between Framatome and Westinghouse fuel designs the NRC determined that the Westinghouse accident analysis was not applicable. North Anna plant management initiated a plant issue to address the circumstances surrounding the submittal of an inadequate analysis for the Framatome fuel. The failure of engineering to recognize the inadequacy of their submittal is of regulatory concern. Framatome fuel will not be loaded until the issue is resolved. The plant issue remained open.

N-2002-3445 From discussions with the supervisors and after specific review of the plant issue, the inspectors noted that the licensees supervisory observation of operations JPMs was less than 1% of the total JPMs performed in 2002. Specifically, only two (2) JPMs were observed by supervisors of the over 1000 JPMs performed in 2002. Although licensee training department assessment of JPMs was adequate, this lack of JPM observance and actual involvement by both supervisory and management personnel was of concern. The inspectors discussed specific concerns with licensee training personnel, plant management, and the operations department manager. The licensee has listed this item as a licensee-identified weakness and as a recognized improvement issue for their management team.

4OA3 Event Followup (Closed) Licensee Event Report (LER) 50-338,339/2002-001-00: incorrect waste gas decay tank (WGDT) oxygen analyzer setpoint due to inadequate procedure. The inspectors reviewed the licensees corrective actions associated with the non-conservative alarm setpoint for the WGDT oxygen analyzer that could have potentially allowed the oxygen concentration to exceed that required by technical specifications . A review of calibration and test procedures for the six months prior to the event indicated that the oxygen concentration had never exceeded the 2% requirements of the technical specifications. The cause of the event was attributed to personnel error that resulted in the establishment of inadequate procedures that did not satisfy technical specifications

requirements. No new findings were identified in the inspectorss review. This is a minor violation not subject to formal enforcement. This item was placed in the licensees corrective action program as plant issue N-2002-1471.

4OA5 Other Temporary Instruction (TI) 2515/148, Appendix A, Pre-inspection Audit for Interim Compensatory Measures (ICMs) at Nuclear Power Plants The inspectors conducted an audit of the licensees actions in response to a February 25, 2002 Order, which required the licensee to implement certain interim security compensatory measures. The audit consisted of a broad-scope review of the licensees actions in response to the Order in the areas of operations, security, emergency preparedness, and information technology as well as additional elements prescribed by the TI. The inspectors selectively reviewed relevant documentation and procedures; directly observed equipment, personnel, and activities in progress; and discussed licensee actions with personnel responsible for development and implementation of the ICM actions.

The licensees activities were reviewed against the requirements of the February 25, 2002 Order; the provisions of TI 2515/148, Appendix A; the licensees response to the Order; and the provisions of the NRC-endorsed NEI Implementation Guidance, dated July 24, 2002.

No findings of significance were identified. A more in-depth review of the licensees implementation of the February 25, 2002 Order, utilizing Appendix B and C of TI 2515/148 is scheduled for Fall 2003.

4OA6 Meetings, including Exit Exit Meeting Summary The resident inspectors presented the inspection results to Mr. D. Heacock, Site Vice President, and other members of the licensees staff on January 15, 2003. The inspectors asked the licensee whether any of the material examined during the inspection should be considered proprietary. No proprietary information was identified.

4OA7 Licensee-Identified Violations The following violations of very low safety significance (Green) were identified by the licensee and are violations of NRC requirements which met the criteria of Section VI of the NRC Enforcement Policy, NUREG-1600, for disposition as NCVs.

1. TS 5.7.1.d requires each individual who enters a High Radiation Area (HRA) to possess:

a radiation monitoring instrument; or an alarming dosimeter; or a telemetric alarming dosimeter; or a self-reading dosimeter and be under surveillance of qualified radiation protection personnel. On September 24, 2002, a worker traversed the basement of the Unit 2 Containment Building without one of the required controls. Upon exiting the Unit 2 Containment Building, the worker self-identified that he had left his telemetric

alarming dosimeter at the hot particle area step off pad, located at the reactor head stand work area. This finding was determined to be of low safety significance because it involved the failure to meet a regulatory requirement but did not significantly impair the licensees ability to assess radiation dose, in that the workers exposure was being monitored by a TLD. The licensee documented and evaluated this TS noncompliance in Plant Issue N-2002-2526.

2. TS 5.7.2.e requires that entries into High Radiation Areas with dose rates greater than 1.0 rem/hour at 30 centimeters from the source, but less than 500 rads/hour at 1 meter from the source, shall be made only after dose rates in the area have been determined and entry personnel are knowledgeable of them. Entry personnel shall also receive a pre-job briefing prior to entry. On September 15, 2002, after HP personnel in the work control center observed a workers DAD in dose-rate alarm, the licensee identified that a worker entered an overhead area in the basement of the Unit 2 Containment Building which had not been surveyed. The worker had not been informed of the dose rates in the area and had not been provided with a pre-job briefing for entry to the overhead area which was later determined to have a hot spot reading approximately 3 rem/hour at 30 centimeters. This finding was determined to be of low safety significance because it involved the failure to meet a regulatory requirement but did not significantly impair the licensees ability to assess radiation dose. The licensee documented and evaluated this TS noncompliance in Plant Issue N-2002-2306.

3. Technical Specification 3.4.6.2 requires that operational RCS leakage shall be limited to no pressure boundary leakage. Based on results of the Unit 2 reactor head visual examination, the licensee identified six of 65 CRDM penetrations (nozzles 10, 21, 31, 35, 51, and 57) with visual evidence of leakage which required further evaluation.

The leaks were determined to have resulted from weld cracking in CRDM nozzle J-welds. The licensee captured this issue in their corrective action program as Plant Issue N-2002-2335. Repairs to the head were not performed since the licensee decided to replace the reactor head. Because UT examinations performed during the outage revealed no circumferential cracks in any of the leaking nozzles, this violation is not more than of very low significance, and is being treated as a non-cited violation.
