JOSEPH M. FARLEY NUCLEAR PLANT - NRC INTEGRATED INSPECTION REPORT 50-348/02-04 and 50-364/02-04 and OFFICE OF INVESTIGATION REPORT 2-2002-007
Dear Mr. Beasley:
On September 28, 2002, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed an inspection at your Farley Nuclear Plant. The enclosed report documents the inspection findings discussed on September 27, 2002, with Mr. Don Grissette and other members of your staff.
This inspection examined activities conducted under your license relating to safety and compliance with the Commissions rules and regulations and the conditions of your license.
The inspectors reviewed selected procedures and records, observed activities, and interviewed personnel.
One Severity Level IV violation of NRC requirements was identified based upon NRC staff review of an NRC Office of Investigation (OI) Report. A synopsis of the OI Report is enclosed.
However, due to the low severity level and because the violation was entered into a corrective action program, this violation meets the criteria of Section VI of the NRC Enforcement Policy, NUREG-1600, for being dispositioned as a non-cited violation (NCV). If you deny this violation, you should provide a response with the basis of the denial, within 30 days of the date of this inspection report, to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, ATTN: Document Control Desk, Washington DC 20555-0001; with copies to the Regional Administrator, Region II; Director, Office of Enforcement, United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington DC 20555-0001; and the NRC Resident Inspector at the Joseph M. Farley Nuclear Plant.
In accordance with 10 CFR 2.790 of the NRCs Rules of Practice, a copy of this letter and its enclosure will be publicly available in the NRC Public Document Room or from the Publicly Available Records (PARS) component of NRCs document system (ADAMS). ADAMS is

SUMMARY OF FINDINGS IR 05000348/02-04, IR 05000364/02-04, OI 2-2002-007, Southern Nuclear Operating Company, 6/30/2002 - 09/28/2002, Joseph M. Farley Nuclear Plant, other activities.
The inspection was conducted by resident inspectors, regional operator licensing examiners, a regional emergency preparedness specialist, and regional reactor inspectors. The inspectors identified one finding which was a Severity Level IV non-cited violation using the traditional enforcement process. 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 are indicated by No Color or by the severity level of the applicable violation. 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 Findings Cornerstone: Physical Protection
- A Severity Level IV, non-cited violation of Section 8.3 of the Physical Security Plan and 10 CFR 50.9 was identified in that on February 19, 2002, a security officer failed to perform certain required recurring compensatory patrols of specified areas, but willfully documented that the patrols had in fact been performed.
- Because this issue involved willfulness on the part of a licensee employee and inaccurate information which impacts the regulatory process, it was not subject to the provisions of the Reactor Oversight Process, and was dispositioned in accordance with traditional enforcement. It was greater than minor because it involved willfulness and the loss of one barrier in the physical protection system.
(Section 4OA5)
B. Licensee Identified Violation A violation of very low significance, which was identified by the licensee, has been reviewed by the inspectors. Corrective actions taken or planned by the licensee have been entered into the licensees corrective action program. The violation and corrective action tracking number is listed in section 4OA7 of this report.

1R14 Personnel Performance During Non-routine Plant Evolutions
.1 Unit 1 Secondary Plant Transient a. Inspection Scope The inspectors followed up on the control room operators recovery from a Unit 1 secondary plant transient that occurred on July 27. The transient was initiated when the 1B heater drain tank level control valve (LCV) failed to close, causing a low suction pressure on the steam generator feedwater pump (SGFPs). Operators started the spare condensate pump, bypassed the LCV, and ramped the unit down about 1% RTP.
To determine the adequacy of the operators actions, the inspectors assessed the licensees use of operating procedures, annunciator procedures, control room actions, command and control, post transient recovery, management involvement, training expectations, and communication. The inspectors reviewed operator logs, plant computer data, control room strip charts, and discussed actions with operations personnel.
b. Findings No findings of significance were identified.
.2 Unit 2 Secondary Chemistry Transients a. Inspection Scope The inspectors observed control room operators and chemistry personnels response to several secondary plant chemistry transients during the period. This included a unit down power to 67% RTP on August 11. The excursions generally started with higher than normal contaminant levels in both the main condenser and the steam generators.
The inspectors assessed the licensees use of abnormal operating procedures, chemistry control guidelines and procedures, control room and chemistry laboratory actions, command and control, management involvement, training expectations, and communication. The inspectors reviewed operator and chemistry logs, trended computer data, chemical control specifications, and discussed actions with operations and chemistry personnel. The inspectors also independently assessed the cause of the contaminants in the condenser and steam generators, likely due to a condenser tube leak. Observations were compared to the requirements specified in licensee procedures listed in the Attachment.
b. Findings No findings of significance were identified.
.3 Unit 1 Notification of Unusual Event a. Inspection Scope The inspectors evaluated the licensees identification, response, and recovery efforts when the 1C Service Water (SW) pump motor failed causing its supply breaker to trip.
Since the 1A SW pump was out of service for a scheduled overhaul, the loss of the 1C SW pump resulted in a loss of Unit 1 A train of SW. This review included observation of operator actions at both the control room and the SW Intake Structure, classification of the event, and subsequent operator actions to recover from the event. Initially, it was reported by maintenance personnel working on the 1A SW pump that the 1C pump motor failure caused a fire. The inspectors observed the licensees root cause determination and independently assessed the licensees conclusion that an electrical arc occurred when the 1C SW pump motor failed, but a fire had not actually occurred.
b. Findings No findings of significance were identified.
1R15 Operability Evaluations a. Inspection Scope The inspectors reviewed the following nine operability evaluations to verify they met the requirements of licensee procedures FNP-0-AP-16 and FNP-0-ACP-9.2, Operability Determination (OD), for technical adequacy, consideration of degraded conditions, and identification of compensatory measures. The inspectors reviewed the evaluations against the design bases, as stated in the UFSAR and Functional System Descriptions (FSD), to verify system operability was not affected.

.1 Reactor Vessel Head Penetration (RVHP) Inspection a. Inspection Scope (TI 2515/145)
The inspectors observed activities relative to inspection of the Unit 2 reactor vessel head penetrations (RVHPs) in response to NRC Bulletins 2001-01 and 2002-02. The guidelines for the inspection were provided in NRC temporary instruction (TI) procedure TI2515/145, Circumferential Cracking of Reactor Pressure Vessel Head Penetration Nozzles (NRC Bulletin 2001-01).
The inspection included review of nondestructive examination (NDE) procedures, assessment of NDE personnel training and qualification, and observation and assessment of Ultrasonic (UT) and Remote Visual (VT) examinations. Discussions were also held with contractor representatives and licensee personnel. The activities were examined to verify licensee compliance with regulatory requirements and gather information to help the NRC staff identify possible further regulatory positions and generic communications.
Specifically, the inspectors reviewed or observed:
- UT scanning analysis activities of the inside diameter (ID) of the nozzle for 4 penetrations and
- VT examination of the external surface of the head and the junction of the penetration and head for 12 penetrations.
b. Findings and Observations There were no indications of RV head or penetration degradation identified by the licensee during the observed inspections.
TI 2515/145-05 Reporting Requirements:
a. Was the examination:
1. Performed by qualified and knowledgeable personnel? (Briefly describe the personnel training/qualification process used by the licensee for this activity.)
The bare-metal visual examinations of the RV head were conducted by contractor personnel working for Westinghouse/Brooks. Personnel involved were certified visual inspectors by Westinghouse or by Brooks.
The Ultrasonic examinations of the penetration nozzles were conducted by Framatome, using Framatome qualified and certified data collectors and evaluators.
2. Performed in accordance with approved and adequate procedures?
Bare metal RV head examinations were performed in accordance with licensee reviewed contractor procedure No. MRS-SSP-1332, Reactor Head Penetration Remote Visual Inspections for J. M. Farley, Unit 2 (APR), Rev. 0, dated July 18, 2002.
Ultrasonic examinations of the RV head penetrations were conducted in accordance with licensee approved contractor procedure No. 54-ISI-100, Remote Ultrasonic Examination of Reactor Head Penetrations, Rev. 9, dated Sept, 9, 2002. The procedure was for ACCUSONEX' FTomoscan based data acquisition system and referenced Procedure Qualifications No. PQ-100-1, 54-PQ-100-2, 3, 4, and 5.
3. Adequately able to identify, disposition, and resolve deficiencies?
The VT and UT examination techniques were adequately able to identify, disposition and resolve relevant deficiencies in the RV head penetration materials.
4. Capable of identifying the primary water stress-corrosion cracking (PWSCC)
phenomenon described in the bulletin?
The VT equipment was capable of identifying PWSCC phenomenon identifiable through evidence of leakage through annulus between penetrations and RV head base material.
The UT material was not qualified to thoroughly examine the quality of the J-groove welds, but was capable of identifying cracking from the J-groove weld that would have impact on the penetration materials.
b. What was the condition of the reactor vessel head (debris, insulation, dirt, boron from other sources, physical layout, viewing obstructions)?
Majority of the head outer surface was free of obstructions and therefore accessible with a crawler mounted video camera. Peripheral locations were covered by metal insulation shield and some fibrous insulation that could not be easily removed, so where crawler movement was restricted, inspections were conducted with video boroscope.
The condition of the head was relatively clean. There were some evidence of fibrous insulation debris and some dirt.
c. Could small boron deposits, as described in the bulletin, be identified and characterized?
With the lighting available on the remote visual equipment, and the clarity of the pictures, boron deposits, as described in the bulletin, could have been readily identified and characterized.
d. What materiel deficiencies (associated with the concerns identified in the bulletin) were identified that required repair?
No material deficiencies were identified that required repair.
e. What, if any, significant items that could impede effective examinations and/or ALARA issues were encountered?
There were no significant items that could impede effective examinations and/or significant ALARA issues encountered.
.2 Office of Investigations (OI) Report No. 2-2002-007 a. Inspection Scope The inspectors reviewed the results of OI Investigation No. 2-2002-007 completed on July 16, 2002, regarding the alleged falsification of security logs by a security officer on February 19, 2002. The inspectors reviewed evidence gathered by OI, the licensees investigation into the issue, and applicable documentation. The licensees activities were reviewed against Sections 4 and 15 of the Physical Security Plan (PSP), Revision (Rev.) 15, correspondence from the licensee dated November 21, 2001, and 10 CFR 50.9, Completeness and Accuracy of Information.
b. Findings Introduction: A Severity Level IV, non-cited violation (NCV) was identified in that on February 19, 2002, a security officer failed to perform certain required recurring compensatory patrols of specified areas, but willfully documented that the patrols had in fact been performed.
Description: In its investigation and as documented in the attached OI Report synopsis, OI concluded that a security officer willfully made false entries in a security log to document required compensatory checks which had not been performed. Specifically, during a security computer upgrade project, the licensee implemented security checks at a specified frequency of certain vital area doors and valve boxes to compensate for degraded alarms and security functions. The licensee identified that on February 19, 2002, an officer failed to perform several of the checks at the required frequency between approximately the hours of 12:00 a.m. and 1:15 a.m. The inspectors reviewed the relevant evidence gathered by OI and the licensee and noted the following: (1) the security officer logged two employees into the Emergency Generator Building (EDG) at 12:13 a.m and 12:14 a.m, as documented on the Post 724 Authorization Log dated February 19, 2002, while Compensatory Log (CL) DCP 9254 completed by the officer indicates that at 12:11 a.m. he was at a location approximately 10 minutes away; (2) interviews with several security officers on duty on February 19, 2002, noted the location of the security officer at various times which was contrary to those documented by the officer on DCP 9254; and (3) at approximately 1:30 a.m. the Security Supervisor noted that the CL had been filled out through 1:50 a.m.
Analysis: Because this finding involved willfulness on the part of a licensee employee and inaccurate information which impacts the regulatory process, it is not subject to the provisions of the Reactor Oversight Process, and is being dispositioned in accordance with traditional enforcement. The finding was determined to be greater than minor because it involved willfulness and one barrier (e.g., compensatory measures for inoperable alarms) was lost in the physical protection system.
Enforcement: License Condition 2.D requires that the licensee implement its activities in accordance with the Commission approved Physical Security and Training and Qualification Plan and amendments thereto submitted in accordance with 10 CFR 50.54(p). The PSP, Rev. 15, Section 8.3 states, in part, that during the security computer system replacement project in 2002, compensatory measures will be implemented in accordance with the provisions of this plan. This project will be worked and compensatory measures implemented during each phase as described in docketed correspondence to the NRC.
Docketed correspondence from Dave Morey, Southern Nuclear Operating Company, dated November 21, 2001, states, in summary, that during this installation period the plant will be utilizing compensatory measures described in the PSP. As the project proceeds the compensatory measures necessary will vary based on the functions disabled for each installation phase. The compensatory plan generally consists of the following measures: recurring patrols of other affected VA [vital area] doors at a specified frequency. The other affected vital area doors included those areas listed on CL DCP 9254.
The PSP, Rev. 15, Section 4.5.4, states that routine security tours and inspections shall be documented and records retained for at least three (3) years. 10 CFR 50.9 (a)
states, in part, that information by statute or by the Commissions regulations, orders, or license conditions to be maintained by the licensee shall be complete and accurate in all material respects.
Contrary to these requirements, during the period of approximately 12:00 a.m. and 1:15 a.m. on February 19, 2002, a security officer failed to perform certain required, recurring compensatory patrols, but documented that the patrols had in fact been performed in these areas on the CL DCP 9254, a record required to be maintained by the PSP. The inaccurate information entered in the CL DCP 9254 was material to the NRC in that this record would be relied upon to determine compliance with the PSP and the adequacy of security controls during the computer upgrade project. Although this violation is willful, it was brought to the NRCs attention by the licensee, it involved isolated acts of a low-level individual, and it was addressed by appropriate remedial action. Therefore, this Severity Level IV violation is being treated as non-cited violation NCV 50-348 and 50-364/2002-004-01, Falsification of Security Round Logs, consistent with Section VI.A.1 of the NRC Enforcement Policy. This violation is in the licensees program as Investigation File No. 019-2002.
4OA6 Meetings Exit Meeting Summary The inspectors presented the inspection results to Mr. Don Grissette, Plant General Manager, and other members of licensee management on September 27, 2002. The inspectors asked the licensee if any of the material examined during the inspection should be considered proprietary. No proprietary information was identified.
4OA7 Licensee Identified Violations The following finding of very low safety significance (Green) was identified by the licensee and is a violation of NRC requirements which meets the criteria of Section VI of the NRC Enforcement Policy, NUREG-1600, for being dispositioned as an NCV:
On July 23, 2002, a relay failed in the Unit 1B train PRF that controls PRF damper positions. The licensees operability determination (CR 2002001606) concluded that the 1B PRF train was operable. During surveillance testing on July 28, the licensee determined the 1B PRF train was inoperable and had been since July 23. TS 5.4.1.a requires written procedures be established and maintained covering the activities listed in Regulatory Guide 1.33, Rev. 2, Appendix A, February 1978, including equipment control. Licensee procedure FNP-0-ACP-9.2, Operability Determination, requires personnel to adequately assess equipment operability when a degraded condition occurs. The failure to appropriately assess 1B PRF operability was a violation of TS 5.4.1.a. This violation was placed in the licensees corrective action program as CR 2002001643 (Section 4OA3).
