SUMMARY
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) continued monitoring the licensees performance by conducting a triennial fire protection team inspection at Joseph M. Farley Nuclear Plant, in accordance with the Reactor Oversight Process (ROP). The Reactor Oversight Process is the NRCs program for overseeing the safe operation of commercial nuclear power reactors. Refer to https://www.nrc.gov/reactors/operating/oversight.html for more information.
List of Findings and Violations
No findings or violations of more than minor significance were identified.
Additional Tracking Items
None.
INSPECTION SCOPES
Inspections were conducted using the appropriate portions of the inspection procedures (IPs) in effect at the beginning of the inspection unless otherwise noted. Currently approved IPs with their attached revision histories are located on the public website at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/doc-collections/insp-manual/inspection-procedure/index.html. Samples were declared complete when the IP requirements most appropriate to the inspection activity were met consistent with Inspection Manual Chapter (IMC) 2515, Light-Water Reactor Inspection Program - Operations Phase. The inspectors reviewed selected procedures and records, observed activities, and interviewed personnel to assess licensee performance and compliance with Commission rules and regulations, license conditions, site procedures, and industry standards.
Starting on March 20, 2020, in response to the National Emergency declared by the President of the United States on the public health risks of the coronavirus (COVID-19), inspectors were directed to begin tele-work. In addition, regional baseline inspections were evaluated to determine if all or a portion of the objectives and requirements stated in the IP could be performed remotely. If the inspections could be performed remotely, they were conducted per the applicable IP. In some cases, portions of an IP were completed remotely and on site. The inspections documented below met the objectives and requirements for completion of the IP.
REACTOR SAFETY
===71111.21N.05 - Fire Protection Team Inspection (FPTI)
Structures, Systems, and Components (SSCs) Credited for Fire Prevention, Detection, Suppression, or Post-Fire Safe Shutdown Review (IP Section 03.01)===
The inspectors verified that components and systems will function as required to support the credited functions stated for each sample. Additional inspection considerations were located in the fire hazards analysis (FHA) or nuclear safety capability assessment (NSCA).
- (1) SSC #1 (Fire Prevention) - Combustible Controls and Hot Work Administrative Programs
- (2) SSC #2 (Detection/Suppression) - Deluge Fixed Spray Water Suppression Systems (Switchyard and Turbine Building)
a. Review deficiencies or open fire protection impairments for the selected system, including any temporary modifications, operator workarounds, or compensatory measures.
b. Verify that operator actions can be accomplished as assumed in the licensees FHA, or as assumed in the licensees fire probabilistic risk assessment (FPRA)analysis and SSA.
c. Review repetitive or similar maintenance work requests which could be an indicator of a design deficiency and could affect the ability of the components to perform their functions, when needed.
d. Ensure that post maintenance and/or surveillance activities are performed as scheduled.
e. Perform a walkdown inspection to identify equipment alignment discrepancies.
Inspect for deficient conditions such as corrosion, missing fasteners, cracks, and degraded insulation.
f. Ensure the selected SSCs that are subject to aging management review (AMR)pursuant to 10 CFR Part 54 are being managed for aging (e.g., loss of material, cracking, reduction of heat transfer) in accordance with appropriate aging management programs. Verify that the licensees aging management program activities (such as, Fuel Oil Analysis or Selective Leaching Aging Management Program) associated with FP equipment are being implemented.
g. If a review of operating experience issues will be completed for the selected inspection sample, verify that the licensee adequately reviewed and dispositioned the operating experience in accordance with their processes.
Fire Protection Program Administrative Controls (IP Section 03.02) (2 Samples)
The inspectors verified that the selected control or process is implemented in accordance with the licensees current licensing basis (CLB). If applicable, ensure that the licensees FPP contains adequate procedures to implement the selected administrative control. Verify that the selected administrative control meets the requirements of all committed industry standards.
- (1) Fire Protection Administrative Program #1 - NFPA 805 Monitoring Program
- (2) Fire Protection Administrative Program #2 - Fire Brigade Drills and Training
Fire Protection Program Changes/Modifications (IP Section 03.03) (2 Samples)
The inspectors verified the following:
a. Changes to the approved FPP do not constitute an adverse effect on the ability to safely shutdown.
b. The adequacy of the design modification, if applicable.
c. Assumptions and performance capability stated in the SSA have not been degraded through changes or modifications.
d. The FPP documents, such as the Updated Final Safety Analysis Report, fire protection report, FHA, and SSA were updated consistent with the FPP or design change.
e. Post-fire SSD operating procedures, such as abnormal operating procedures, affected by the modification were updated.
- (1) FPP Changes / Modification #1 - Design Change Package (DCPs) SNC 1054443/1054444/1054445/1054446 Unit 2 AUX & Turbine Building Class B Fire Protection Modifications
- (2) FPP Changes / Modification #2 - DCP SNC 968080 Fire Protection Change Evaluation for DECP Install Line Stops on the Fire Pump Discharge Lines
INSPECTION RESULTS
No findings of more than minor significance were identified.
EXIT MEETINGS AND DEBRIEFS
The inspectors verified no proprietary information was retained nor documented in this report.
- On July 1, 2021, the inspectors presented the Fire Protection Team Inspection (FPTI)results to Robert Norris, Plant Manager and other members of the licensee staff during the Exit Meeting.
THIRD PARTY REVIEWS
Inspectors reviewed ATC-Combustion Engineering Solutions Investigation of the Failure of a Section of Fire Protection Piping at Farley Nuclear Plant during the inspection period. No other third-party documentation was reviewed during the inspection.
