,
,
Scope:
This special on-site inspection involved a review of plant conditions as'they related to recent events: 1) breaching of the control room (CR) pressure boundary while working on the shared CR air conditioning system; 2) erroneous
!
stroking shut of the "A" service water (SW) isolation valve to the. "A" component cooling water (CCW) heat exchanger (Hx) when intending to stroke test the
"B" SW valve; and, 3) improper alignment of "B-train" CCW valves and a subsequent loss of CCW to the inservice spent fuel pool heat exchanger during miscellaneous CCW header valve testing.
,
i Results:
)
One apparent violation with three examples was identified for failure of licensee personnel to follow procedures which resulted in losses of configuration control during maintenance and testing activities. These
,
examples involved the loss of control room pressure boundary for approximately two days, a loss of SW to the on-line CCW Hx for several minutes and the loss
'J of spent fuel pool cooling for approximately three hours, paragraphs 2.a.,

Event Details t
a.
Adverse Effect on Control Room (CR) Technical Specification (TS)
Pressurization Capability
'
i On September 23, about 48 hours5.555556e-4 days <br />0.0133 hours <br />7.936508e-5 weeks <br />1.8264e-5 months <br /> after the "A" train CR air conditioner (A/C) had been taken out of service for repairs, the licensee discovered that the A/C system suction and discharge fire
,
dampers were left open and a panel of approximately 12 square-feet
!
on the A/C package had been removed.
Removal of this. panel and
!
existence of open fire dampers created a breach in the CR pressurization boundary. Although, the applicable TS limiting i
condition for operation (LCO) was not mei., the licensee did not exceed the associated action statement. Details are documented in i
Inspection Report (IR) 50-348,364/93-21, paragraph 3.e.
l The inspectors, upon review of licensee documentation and on-site observation of the location / area, noted that maintenance personnel
.
failed to properly inform the operations staff of their intent to
'
remove the "A" train A/C unit panel.
Craft personnel thought that they had accomplished all necessary pre-job tasks when work i
authorization was received from the unit shift supervisor.
.
]
However, when the shift supervisor received and approved the work
'
authorization, the removal of the A/C panel was not listed as a i-l
!
.
i f
'
i i
task item in the work package, and technical specification (TS)
,
requirements were not fully addressed by the job planner.
,
For approximately 48 hours5.555556e-4 days <br />0.0133 hours <br />7.936508e-5 weeks <br />1.8264e-5 months <br />, the operations staff was unaware of'
the status of the CR pressure boundary and how it was affected by A/C maintenance activities. They became aware of the problem when a shift foreman toured the area and later questioned the shift _
,
supervisor about work activities. The removal of the A/C panel and
'
open damper arrangement resulted in an approximately 12 square r
foot " hole" being created _in the CR pressure boundary. The TS
requirement of maintaining at least 1/8 inch positive water
'l pressure during an emergency was seriously degraded.
Subsequent t
tests conducted by the licensee confirmed that a simulated
!
boundary " hole" of as small as 2 square feet would have caused CR l
pressure to fall to less than the nominally required TS pressure limit.
,
The licensee issued a licensee event report (Unit 1 LER 93-003) to
!
document the specifics of this event.
l During this event, the licensee failed to comply with the following plant procedures:
,
1) Admin 9strative Procedure (AP) 85, Conduct of Operations -
<
Electrical Maintenance Group,_ Revision 0 requires a complete and concise description of work and the identification of all equipment parts to be removed. The procedure also
,
states that it is the responsibility of the journeyman and i
job foreman to ensure that necessary procedures are at the i
job site.
j
.
I 2) AP-52, Equipment Status Control and Maintenance Authorization, Revision 21, requires work requests that
'
provide sequenced planning, including applicable procedures and identification of limiting conditions for operations.
.
Furthermore, ' individuals performing the work shall follow
!
the specifiec work sequence.
If, during the conduct of maintenance, the worker finds that the sequence does not
'
adequately delineate the activities which must be performed
to accomplish the maintenance, the work sequence shall be
,
revised and "reapproved".
l
3) AP-16, Conduct of Operations - Operations Group, Revision 22, requires the operations staff to operate the j
plant safely and to be aware of and responsible for the
'
plant status at all times.
In addition, during this event, FNP failed to comply with the LC0 for TS 3.7.7 which requires two operable independent contro1~ room emergency air cleanup systems during all modes of operation.
i
.
.
.
The applicable surveillance requirement 4.7.7 states, in part,
,
that each control room emergency ventilation system shall be
{
demonstrated operable by verifying that the system maintains the i
control room at a positive pressure of greater than or equal to 1/8 inch water gauge relative to the outside atmosphere during system operation.
i Furthermore, this event was similar to past events described in IR v
50-348,364/91-10, paragraphs 2.a and 3 [ service water to the CR
cooler misalignment and the unauthorized alignment of reactor.
water storage tank to the containment sump]; IR 50-348,364/91-19,.

!
improper air start valve alignment); and IR 50-348/364/92-19, paragraph 4.a. (unauthorized removal of rod control system stationary gripper coil fuses by electrical maintenance i
personnel).
'
This event was identified as the first example of apparent violation 50-364/93-26-01, Personnel errors result in losses of
.
configuration control during performance of maintenance and
'
testing activities.
i b.
Personnel Error Resulting In Erroneous Operation of the Service Water To "2A" Component Cooling Water Isolation Valve On September 23, while performing M0 VATS testing on the "SW to
'28' CCW heat exchanger isolation valve", (Q2P16MOV31308); the "SW to '2A' CCW heat exchanger isolation valve", (Q2P16MOV3130A) was
,
inadvertently stroked shut during testing.
I During the testing of 3130 " bravo", 3130 " alpha" was erroneously
~
operated because jumpers that were intended to bypass the
.
handswitch for the " bravo" valve were erroneously installed on termination points associated with the " alpha" valve. The
,
'
termination points were incorrectly identified on the M0 VATS test procedure data sheet. When the jumpers were installed, as directed by the data sheet, a M0 VATS engineer noted that a contact had
energized. At the same time, M0 VATS field personnel observed the
" alpha" valve stroking shut. Approximately three minutes later, control room personnel were notified of the problem and the
jumpers were removed. An LC0 was entered and the control room operators reopened "3130A".
The M0 VATS procedure did not require independent review of the transfer of plant drawing information to the vendor data sheets.
Information had been incorrectly transcribed from the plant drawings to the vendor's data sheet by an' individual engineer.
This was identified as a personnel error and a procedural
inadequacy.
!
!
,
t
...
i
The licensee intends to revise the vendor's procedure and the
'
equivalent plant test procedure, FNP-0-EMP-1501.06, to include provisions for independent peer review of work prior..to performance of field activities.
During this event, the licensee failed to comply with the following plant procedures:
1) AP-16, Conduct cf Operations - Operations Group, Revision
!
22, requires the operations staff to operate the plant
'
safely and to be aware of and responsible for the plant status at all times.
l 2) Maintenance Procedure M-64, Writers Guide for Maintenance l
Procedures, Revision 3, requires procedures to be written in
!
such a way that steps can'be performed without the need to obtain additional information.
The procedure also states i
that in-plant components should be identified in the
procedure when the subject component is used infrequently,
has poor access, or is not labeled.
l In addition, this event was similar to a past event described in
.;
1R 50-348/364/92-35, paragraph 5.b. (wrong data used for i
calibration of the nuclear instrumentation system).
This event was identified as the second example of apparent i
violation 50-364/93-26-01, Personnel errors result in losses of-configuration control during performance of maintenance and testing activities.
c.
Isolation of Component Cooling Water To The laservice Unit 2 Spent
,
Fuel Pool (SFP) Heat Exchanger
!
On October 5, with all fuel removed from the core and stored.in SFP, operations personnel implemented a revised line-up of the CCW system to test a particular valve actuator. Operations subsequently received a high SFP temperature alarm because this line-up isolated CCW flow to the in-service "2A" SFP heat exchanger which allowed SFP temperature to rise above the alarm
,
'
setpoint of 130' F over a 3-hour time period.
During the outage, Unit 2 was "defueled" and the RHR pumps. had been secured. The "2A" CCW pump, and the "2B" CCW heat exchanger were aligned to the "B" train CCW for SFP cooling. The "2C" CCW l
pump, "2B" CCW pump, and the "2A" CCW heat exchanger were not in-service but were available for use. The "A" train "2C" CCW heat
exchanger was out of service for outage work.
A tag-out (#93-2531-2), was established on October 2 for repair work (MWR 267845) o, MOV "Q2P17M0V3047", the miscellaneous CCW header isolation valve from the main.CCW header. After work was completed a post-maintenance test (PMT) of the valve actuator was
,
.
_
-
,
5 5-required. The vendor requested.that flow through the' valve be stopped for the test. The tag-out was modified, on October 5, to i
establish a different lineup for the requested PMT.. This revision-to the clearance boundaries, (i.e., closing of valves
"Q2Pl7V008B",. "V009B", and "V009C"), isolated the only source of cooling for the SFP heat exchanger.
Although queried by the SF0 about these valves prior to modification of the tag-out, the control, board operators were not
- ;
directly consulted about the revised line-up prior to issuance of the tag-out.
The tag-out was reviewed by three SR0 licensed supervisory l
personnel and during the review, an SF0 recognized a discrepancy with the positioning action of some. of the valves; however, he did not correct it. During positioning of the valves and associated attachment of the tags, the non-licensed operator questioned the SF0 about a discrepancy in the "as-found" CCW valve positions and the tag-out (i.e., one of the CCW valves to be positicned shut was already shut). The SF0 assured the 50 that discrepancies between the tag-out and actual valve position were not a problem. At
-
about 5:36 a.m.,
the valves were shut and tagged. Once the revised tag-out was completed, flow from the "2A" CCW pump to the -
"2A" SFP heat exchanger was cut-off, thus eliminating the.only available SFP heat sink for removal of residual heat from the recently off-loaded fuel assemblies. (Fuel off-load was completed on October 3).
Over the next 3 hours3.472222e-5 days <br />8.333333e-4 hours <br />4.960317e-6 weeks <br />1.1415e-6 months <br />, pool temperature rose approximately 40* and peaked between 135 and 140*F. At about 4:00 a.m., a non-licensed-operator recorded SFP temperature at about 92*.
This reading was
within a log acceptance band of 68 to 120*F and the reading had an 8-hour frequency so the next scheduled reading was to be taken at 12:00 noon. At about 7:40 a.m. the CR received an' alarm for high SFP temperature (130*F), and immediately dispatched an operator to investigate.
At about 7:45 a.m., SFP room personnel noticed higher than normal temperature and humidity conditions and -
reported these conditions to the CR. At about 8:30 a.m.,
operations identified the source of the problem and restored CCW flow to the SFP heat exchanger. This action stopped ~the temperature rise at about 9:15 a.m. and SFP heat exchanger outlet i
temperature dropped to about 101*F.
By 10:30 a.m., bulk SFP temperatures had dropped to below 130*F. No TS limits were
,
exceeded.
In addition to the loss of CCW cooling for to the SFP, the operating "2A" CCW pump, (the "B" train pump), was inadvertently i
run using only the mini-flow recirculation flow path during a i
3-hour period from 5:36 a.m. to about 8:30 a.m. The flow path
'
recirculates CCW discharge directly back to the pump suction which l
could result in pump damage from overheating if run for extended periods. When operations discovered this flow condition, the "2A"
,
e
.
.
>
CCW pump was unisolated and operators checked critical pump
~l parameters.
l A satisfactory " warm to the touch" temperature check lof pumped
water, through the "2A" CCW pump was immediately performed in
!
order to investigate possible thermal stresses to the pump. - From
!
external appearances, the pump appeared to be in good operating condition.
The resident inspectors were immediately notified of the event and '
on follow-up, observed the pump in its normal configuration. The inspectors obser/ed no pump bearing lube oil discoloration, no-
abnormal pump bearing temperatures, and no mechanical seal damage / leakage.
Logged motor bearing temperatures indicated no-temperature rise during the period of mini-flow operation.
.
i After reestablishing a normal CCW system lineup, the licensee i
returned the
"2A" CCW pump to-operation and continued to monitor
pump parameters. An MWR was written to physically investigate for o
any possible pump damage. Maintenance and engineering support
'
personnel took vibration readings and these readings were
-
determined to be normal.
During this event, the licensee failed to comply with the following plant procedures:
1) AP-16, Conduct of Operations - Operations Group, Revision 22, requires the operations staff to operate the plant
'
safely and to be aware of and responsible for plant status at all times.
2) AP-14, Safety Clearance and Tagging, Revision 13, requires
,
careful evaluation of the work to be performed, by the
,
preparer of the tag order, to assure proper isolation. The procedure also states that the tagging official will
.
carefully review the tag order to assure that execution of the order is acceptable with regard to its effect on plant status.
,
In addition, this event was similar to several past events described in IR 50-348,364/92-12, paragraph 8 (power removal to a wrong unit low-pressure safety injection system valve, calibration i
on a wrong unit "SW to diesel generator building" differential pressure switch and removal of a wrong unit SW pump motor breaker); IR 50-348,364/93-06, paragraph 3.a. (operation of a
,
wrong unit auxiliary feedwater flow control valve " local / remote transfer switch" during testing); IR 50-348,364/93-08, paragraph 8 (removal of a wrong unit D/G breaker); and IR 50-348,364/93-19; i
paragraph 3.c. (misalignment of CCW to the miscellaneous CCW l
system header).

Exit Interview Inspection scope and findings were summarized during management interviews throughout the report period and on October 25, with the plant manager and selected members cf his staff. The inspection
.
findings were discussed in detail.
The licensee acknowledged the inspection findings and did not identify as proprietary any material reviewed by the inspectors during this inspection.
On October 26, F.S. Cantrell, Section Chief, Region II Division of Reactor Projects, discussed the report findings with Mr. R.D. Hill, Plant General Manager and obtained mutually acceptable availability dates for this enforcement conference to be held thereby allowing the.
licensee to explain his position on these _ issues.
Mr. Hill stated that he would discuss the company's position on this issue at a future date.
