a. Insoection Scooe (71707)

The inspectors observed activities associated with the upgrade of the main control room and simulator to evaluate the impact on plant operations and the effectiveness of the implementation proces Observations and Findinas The inspectors monitored the licensee's upgrade of the McGuire main control room and the simulator control room which began in Februar l 1997. The upgrade was accomplished in conjunction with the steam generator replacement project (SGRP) outages on both units which included the replacement of the units' operator aid computers and digital rod position indication systems. The licensee chose the SGRP outages to implement this upgrade to limit impact on an operational ,

unit. The upgrade included replacement of the reactor operator (RO) and l senior reactor operator (SRO) work stations, incorporation of new video screens for operator information and logging, the addition of increased use of control board mimics, and more distinctive work area locations to allow for improved control of control room traffic. During the implementation of activities associated with the control room modifications, the inspectors did not observe any adverse impacts to safe operation of the units. The simulator control room was u) graded in advance of the main control room to allow for operator feedbacc and acclimatio , _ - _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ - . . -

.

The inspectors considered that the u) grade allowed for improved monitoring of the units by placing t1e operators in positions more prone to facing the control boards and elevating the control room shift manager to provide better overview of control room activities. Other attributes were im) roved desk layouts providing better immediate access to emergency and a] normal procedures, as well as better control of routine task Conclusion The inspectors concluded that the comaleted upgrade of the control room and simulator control room provided t1e operators an improved environment for monitoring operation of the units. The implementation was accomplished in a safe manner with limited impact on operators during transition period Quality Assurance in Ooerations 07.1 Nuclear Safety Review Board (NSRB)

The inspector attended the NSRB meeting to assess how the licensee evaluated overall plant performance and responded to plant issue Observations and Findinas On May 14. 1998, the inspector attended the McGuire portion of the NSRB meeting held at the Catawba site. Site presentations to the board included plant performance, reportable events, violations, trends, areas for improvement, and other relative issues. The inspector considered that t1e information presented to the NSRB gave a realistic view of overall plant performance. Numerous proposals for improved performance were suggested and documented for resolution, Conclusions The inspector concluded that the NSRB members provided good insights to plant management for potential improvements. McGuire site management gave a realistic presentation of the McGuire site performance to the Boar Miscellaneous Operations Issues 0 (Closed) Licensee Event Report (LER) 50-369/97-03: Inoperability of Both Trains of the Control Room Ventilation System Due to Isolated Air Intake Valves This event involved inoperability of the common main control room ventilation system (VC) during a planned maintenance activity on train B of VC. The B train of VC was out of service due to the associated outside air intake valves being closed to support maintenance on

.

radiation monitor 1 EMF-43 During the planned activities, the operators received a high radiation alarm on radiation monitor 1 EMF-43A and took actions to isolate the remaining train A outside air intakes as directed by the applicable alarm response procedure. This action resulted in both trains of VC becoming inoperable for a period of approximately two minutes until the 1 EMF-43A alarm cleared, allowing the intakes to be reopened. The cause of the Train A radiation alarm was later attributed to spurious operation, which was confirmed by increased radiation sam] ling. The inspectors reviewed the operators immediate response to t1e event and determined the actions appropriate. In addition, the inspectors reviewed additional corrective actions identified in the subject LER and concluded that the licensee responded appropriately to the event. Safety im3act to the shutdown and operational unit was minimal. This LER is close .2 (Closed) LER 50-369.370/97-04. Revision 0 and 1: Main Steam Safety Valve Technical Specifications (TS) Inaccuracies The inspectors evaluated the licensee's actions following the-

identification of non-conservative TS requirements of TS 3.7.1.1.a and Table 3.7-1 outlining the maximum allowable power range neutron flux high setpoint with inoperable steam line safety valves during four loop operation. The TS allows continued power operation at less than 43 percent rated thermal power with 3. main steam safety valves inoperabl This TS was determined to be non-conservatism by the licensee following a detailed analysis. The licensee established administrative controls to prohibit operation with three or more steam line safety valves inoperabl The licensee has also submitted a formal TS amendment request to correct this non-conservatism. The inspectors reviewed the instructions provided to the operating crews and confirmed that the instructions were ap3ropriate to prevent operation outside plant design basis.

On June 11, 1997, the licensee submitted an LER abstract describing potential air entrainment from the non-safety related AFW suction sources based on preliminary calculations. After further analysis, the licensee determined that no operability concerns existed. Therefore, this LER is closed; however, inspector followup item (IFI) 97-08-0 Potential Airbinding of AFW Pumps, will remain open pending further NRC review of the licensee's supporting calculations.

M1,2 Maintenance Rule Monitorina of the Reactor Protection System )

, Insoection Scope (62706)

This inspection was conducted to review monitoring of the reactor protection system as a result of problems identified at other utilities l

during Maintenance Rule baseline inspections. Two areas of concern evolved as a result of those inspections: First, there was concern that 1 the system was not being monitored at a low enough level to prevent masking of problems, which would eventually result in a plant trip or an inadvertent safety system actuation. Second, it was found that some

, utilities had classified the system as risk-significant, and were not i monitoring unavailability in accordance with NUMARC 93-01 guidance. The inspector reviewed the system performance criteria, Maintenance Rule and non-Maintenance Rule data, system surveillance testing, block and logic l diagrams, and interviewed the system engineer and the Maintenance Rule l coordinator to determine if the monitoring of the reactor protection l system under the Maintenance Rule was in accordance with NUMARC guidance.

.

b. Observations end Findings The licensee's performance criteria and Maintenance Rule data collection was established to monitor reliability at the train leve However, additional discussion with the system engineer determined that system monitoring, in many cases, went to a far lower component level. This was evidenced by the fact that the system engineer reviews all work orders on the system and Jersonally resolves most of the deficiency reports on the system. T1e licensee also trends card fai'.ures; power supply failures and drift; detector current. insulation resistance, and capacitance; solid state system failures and logic board failures; and

.

reactor trip breaker timings, trip bar force, under voltage trip attachment forces and under voltage coil dropout voltages. Data supporting this m'nitoring reviewed by the inspector provided clear evidence of detailed monitoring at the component leve {

The second concern at other utilities related to unavailability monitoring for risk-significant portions of the reactor protection ,

system. All portions of the McGuire system were classified as non-risk j significant with the exception of the reactor trip breakers which were J classified as risk-significant. The inspector verified that this j classification was in accordance with the licensee's robabilistic risk assessment. The inspector determined that unavailabi ity was not being  !

monitored on the breakers, and questioned the licensee concerning this l a] parent deviation from the NUMARC guidance. The licensee stated that i t1e only possible unavailability would be during testing of the trip breakers. This testing was required by technical specifications to be accomplished once every 62 days, one train at a time, and limited to a L two-hour duration. In a typical year, this would amount to 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br /> of )

unavailability, which was bounded by the licensee's probabilistic risk assessment. In addition, the testing was accomplished with both the l reactor trip breaker, and the bypass breaker in the " racked in" position. With the breakers in this position, the manual trip actuation was not defeated, and one immediate operator action (initiation of a reactor manual trip) would restore the breaker safety function, and, in fact, would initiate the function. As a result, the licensee did not consider the breaker to be unavailable during testing, and had established the breaker performance criteria as 100% availability and zero-functional failures. The inspector verified that condition monitoring was being conducted on the breakers as a result of these performance criteria, and the NRC agreed with the licensee's position L concerning unavailability.

broken away. Maintenance personnel retrieved the broken piece from the turbo-charger ring catcher. Metallurgical examination was in-progress at the end of the inspection period to determine the failure mode. The valve seat, which was com)osed of a tungsten molybdenum steel alloy, was imbedded in the cylinder lead. Although 15 of the 16 cylinders carried the full load, the licensee. considered this a valid failure due to increased stress on the crankshaft, which could lead to catastrophic l failure.

the 6R cylinder head was replaced and an operability test was satisfactorily performe The inspectors were concerned that potential damage during removal from the cylinder head may have occurred if valve seats were reused during the rebuild. Inspectors' review of the Nordberg vendor manual indicated that removal of inserts. may be performed using 0.75 inch spot welds at 120 degrees apart. This appeared to coincide with the failure orientation. However, the system engineer indicated that McGuire specified that new valve . seats were to be used in the rebuil The licensee's preliminary investigation revealed that the seat was cocked and the acre in the head may not have been completely roun Inspectors questioned if the Nordberg vendor manual recommended installation practices were used by NAK. by letter dated May 21, 199 NAK Engineering notified McGuire that the Nordberg vendor manual, procedures, and McGuire station procedure for cylinder corrective maintenance were being utilized. However, the inspectors did observe that NAK did not document actual measurements (shrink fit dimensions) of

,

each bore hole and valve seat insert for each cylinder hea Additionally, during the review of this event the inspectors also noted that the local alarm panel annunciator response procedure for hi/lo exhaust temperature did not identify a failed seat as a potential caus Performance data gathered during a post-rebuild break-in run in 1997 revealed lower than normal 6R cylinder firing pressure during low load conditions. However, the 6R had normal firing pressure at full load conditions. The licensee had concluded that the full load firing pressure was usually an important factor where engine balance is of concern, and therefore this low load anomaly was dismissed during the review of break-in data. Following the seat failure, the licensee postulated that the lower firing pressure may have been attributed to gas leakage between the seat insert and the bore in the head. At increased load, the licensee believed that high temperatures could have reduced the gap and help explain why firing pressure was consistent with the other 15 cylinders. Prior to the failure, the subject cylinder continued to meet acceptance criteria during tests conducted between the 1997 rebuild break-in run and the May 19, 1998 test. Inspectors review of engine diagnostics from the break-in runs confirmed no similar low-temperature anomalies on the other three diesels and the other 15 1A EDG cylinders for the full range of load condition c. Conclusions The immediate corrective actions to repair an inoperable 1A emergency diesel generator that experienced a valid failure on May 19, 1998, were adequat The initial engineering operability evaluation of all four station EDG appeared reasonabl However IFI 98-06-01.

The inspectors monitored the licensee's immediate follow up to PIP report 0-C98-1817 identified at the Catawba Nuclear Station for pott ial impact on the McGuire unit Observations and Findinas The subject Catawba PIP involved a potential missed auxiliary building TS surveillance due to the system's moisture separators not being included in the delta-P testing for the components. The inspectors reviewed the McGuire ap)licable TS and discussed the Catawba PIP with

,

the system engineer witlin one day of the PIP being received at McGuir The inspectors noted that the system engineer was aware of the Catawba PIP and had already determined that the specific problem did not exist at McGuire due to specific equipment differences. The involved system engineer also reviewed other plant ventilation systems for similar concerns. No problems were identified. However, in the annulus venti 4 tion system. several bar type heaters were evaluated for potential flow blockage impact and found to be acceptabl Conclusion The inspectors concluded that system engineering response to a potential common surveillance problem at the Catawba site was aroactive, immediate, and provided assurance of continued opera)ility of the auxiliary building ventilation system at McGuir M8 Miscellaneous Maintenance Issues M (Closed) VIO 50-369/97-08-02: Inadequate Procedure for Performing Analog Channel O r ational Test (ACOT)

physical properties of Nacl and confirmed low humidity conditions during fuel fabrication. Also, concentrations <f Nacl were significantly less than what is permitted by FCF specifications for maximum chloride residue on fuel pellets (25 parts per million). FCF also completed an autoclave corrosion test which confirmed no adverse impact on cladding performance. The inspectors concluded that the 10 CFR S0.59 safety evaluation was satisfactorily com)leted for use of the contaminated fuel. The inspectors discussed t1e issues with NRR reactor systems branch and the NRR Project Manager during a conference call on May 12, 1998. No specific concerns were expressed.

' Conclusions l A comprehensive and very detailed safety evaluation was performed by the corpcrate nuclear engineering department to evaluate sd tability of new fuel that contained cladding contaminated with sodium chloride. The inspectors considered the licensee's and fuel vendor's ap3 roach for addressing potential Nacl effects on fuel performance to )e a rigorous examination of the issue with good consultation by independent industry fuel expert E3 Engineering Procedures and Documentation E3.1 Modification of 120 Volt (V) AC Auxiliary Control Power System Loads Insoection Scooe (37551)

loads and panel board KXB carries primarily Unit 2 loads: however, each l of the panel boards carry some loads from the opposite unit. The I modification was developed to segregate the critical Unit I load; on panel board KXA. The affected loads include Unit 1 Electro Hydraulic Control System and Main Steam Isolation Valve Control. A similar modification was proposed for the upcoming Unit 2 outage to segregate the critical Unit 2 loads on KXB to minimize the likelihood of a similar dual unit trip following a loss of power to either panel board KXA or KX _ - _ _ _ _

E4.1 Lack of Insoection and Docursentation for Refuelina Water Storaae Tank l (RWST) Interior Coatir.as ' Inspection Scooe (71707)

The inspectors discussed PIP reports 0-M97-3386 and 1-M98-0249 with licensee engineering personnel concerning past inspections performed on each unit's RWST and qualification / potential deteriorization of the l tanks' interior coating l Observations and Findinas In mid-1997, the inspectors questioned the licensee regarding what l inspections had been performed on the RWST The licensee indicated i that the tanks had been inspected internally; however records of the inspection were not readily available. During a subsequent licensee initiated review of the refueling water system, on September 17. 1997 l the licensee questioned the need for periodic vessel / code related i inspections for the RWSTs. PIP 0-M97-3386 was initiated to document the l basis for periodic inspections for the RWSTs and what inspections had been performed in the pas On January 26, 1998. engineering personnel initiated PIP 1-M98-0249 which questioned the integrity of the Plasite (epoxy type) coating inside the Unit 1 RWST. The PIP description indicated that the material of the Unit 2 RWST appeared to be stainless steel with no Plasite coating. The PIP was initiated to determine the condition of the Unit 1 RWST interior coatings, based on a lack of information available regarding its long term qualification. The PIP further indicated that design engineering correspondence indicated that the service life of the coating (Plasite 7155) was identified as 10 years. The McGuire RWSTs have been in service for over 17 year _ _ - _ _ _ _ _

.

During the current inspectica period, the inspectors met with cognizant engineering personnel to discuss the above PIP During this meeting, the inspectors were informed that the licensee had recently identified that both of the RWSTs were fabricated from carbon steel with Plasite interior coatings and that neither tank had any record of internal inspection. Based on the above, the inspectors questioned the operability of the tanks considering the lack of service life I qualification information regarding the RWST interior coatings and the lack of visual inspections to verify the coating integrit The inspectors further questioned if the RWST interior coatings deteriorated, could they pose a threat to the containment sump during a LOC PIP 1-M98-0249 documented an operability review that analyzed potential corrosion rates of the RWSTs' carbon steel in a boric acid environmen This review concluded that the RWSTs were operable based on negligible impact of the anticipated corrosion on the seismic capability of the tanks to perform their intended safety function. In addition, the PIP referenced past degradation of the Oconee facility boric dcid tank This information was used to support continued McGuire operability. The inspectors noted that the PIP operability evaluation did not address the potential degradation of the coatings and their potential effect on the containment sump or post-accident fuel performanc The licensee concluded that the RWSTs interior coating were not degradad based on their avaluation and that routine sampling of the tanks did riot reveal any abnorrr.alities. At the end of the ins 3ection period, the licensee had determined that no ins)ections of t1e Unit 1 RWST interior coating would be performed during t1e current rO nng outage: although future inspection were being considered. Unres med Item 50-36 /98-02, Refueling Water Storage Tank Interior Coating Inspection, was identified to further evaluate inspection requirements for both refueling water storage tanks and documentation for the interior tank coatings to support continued operabilit Conclusion An Unresolved Item was identified to further evaluate inspection requirements for the refueling water storage tanks and review documentation for the interior tank coatings used to support continued operabilit The licensee's initial documentation of the problem within PIP 1-M98- l 0249 was weak in not providing a thorough operability evaluation for the l refueling water storage tanks. Additional problems were noted in the l initial mis-identification of the matericl used in the construction of the refueling water storage tank and misunderstanding of actual past inspections performed on the tan _ _ _ _ - _ _ _ _ _

E8 Miscellaneous Engineering Issues E8.1 (Closed) URI 50-369.370/96-06-02: Refueling Practices Involving Full Core Off Load Into SFP. Unresolved Item 96-06-02 was opened to evaluate licensee's past 3ractice of offloiding the full core on a routine basis with regard to t1e licensing basis for normal refueling practices. As discussed in IR 50-369/96-06, the staff reviewed licensing basis regarding spent fuel pool decay heat removal and refueling outage core offload practice In a revision of the UFSAR (Section 9.1.3) dated January 12, 1995, the licensee describes the heat loads assumed for analyzing the spent fuel pool cooling section. The UFSAR states:

Normal Heat Load: Assumes one-third core has been placed in the pool seven (/) days after shutdown. The remainder of the pool, less 193 spaces, is filled with previous McGuire discharges from normal refueling operations and Oconee spent fuel which has decayed at least five (5) years. The 193 empty spaces are reserved for a full core discharg '

Abnormal Heat Load: Assumes one full core discharge consisting of ;

three batches. The batches are irradiated 23.5 days, one-yea and two years respectively. In addition, one refueling batch has decayed 36 day The remainder of the pool is filled with previous McGuire discharges from normal refueling operations and Oconee spent fuel which has decayed at least five (5) year Further. UFSAR Table 9-5 describes the calculated bulk spent fuel temperature for these two cases (identified in the Table as the normal maximum and abnormal maximum heat loads) with two spent fuel pool cooling system configurations (one and two trains operating) analyzed for each case. An assumed heat load. [ spent fuel pool] design basis tem)erature and calculated spent fuel pool temperature were provided for eac1 cas The normal maximum heat load case, analyzed with one cooling train operating, results in a calculated spent fuel pool temperature of 133 The abnormal maximum heat load case, analyzed with one cooling train operating, results in a calculated spent fuel pool temperature of 178 F. In a footnote to Table 9-5. the licensee stated, regarding design basis for spent fuel pool temperature, that 140 F was used as a maximum for [ spent fuel pool] structural calculation Tne inspectors reviewed records from past refueling outages and confirmed that:

(1) The licensee has offloaded the full core during each refueling since plant startu (2) During all past full core offloads, the licensee did not offload the full core prior to the 150 hours0.00174 days <br />0.0417 hours <br />2.480159e-4 weeks <br />5.7075e-5 months <br /> after shutdown assumed in the UFSA _

(3) The inspectors did not review records of spent fuel 1001 cooling system operability records, but did determine that t1e maximum temperature reached following a full core offload was 120 F. This temperature was well below the design criteria of 140 F described in the UFSA The inspectors observed that UFSAR Section 9.1.3.1 by introducing the terms normal and abnormal, characterizes each of the design basis cases in a way that could imply that full core offloads are to occur on a less frequent basis than partial core offloads. The inspectors were unable to conclude: however, that Section 9.1.3.3. represents a specific commitment to limit the frequency with which full core offloads are conducted. As noted above, nothing in the UFSAR description of the s)ent fuel pool cooling design basis is sensitive to the frequency with w1ich full core offloads are conducted. Therefore, the inspectors concluded that the practice of offloading the full core during each refueling outage did not represent a change to the facility or a change to the procedure described in the UFSAR and thus did not require a review pursuant to 10 CFR 50.59. On this basis URI 50-369/96-06-02. is

On March 31, 1998, QMSS favorably terminated the employee without-notifying McGuire Security; consequently, his site access to Duke nuclear facilities remained vali On April 13. 1998. the Access Control Group at the General Office received a letter from QMSS saying that they had terminated an em)loyee on March 31, 1998, and no longer required unescorted access to Duce Power Company nuclear facilities. Review of the access control database showed that employee still had an active security access badge at McGuire Nuclear Station. The General Office notified McGuire site security at approximately 11:45 a.m. , of the situation and immediately terminated the employee's site access. At 5:45 p.m., on the same day, the site Access Control Supervisor learned from the terminated employee that he had entered the prutected area on April 7 to keep his security badge from being placed on Administrative Hold because of ten-day non-use. With no malevolent intent, the employee entered the protected area, walked around the area for eight minutes, and then existed, without entering any vital areas that his badge could have allowed him to enter. Because entry into the protected area by a terminated

,

employee is a one-hour reportable event under 10 CFR 73.71, the licensee notified the NRC Operations Center and Senior Resident Inspector of the event at 6:20 The root cause of this event was the lack of coordination and communication between involved badge and job s]onsors. The terminated employee had the same McGuire Nuclear Station .3adge s3onsor and job sponsor for both of the OMMS and DE&S projects. The Jadge sponsor was unaware that the employee had changed employment. The employee needed unescorted access to the site as determined by the March 31 day badge review, which was performed by the badge sponsor. The badge sponsor had even extended the employee's badge expiration date from May 31, 1998, to April 1, 1999 on March 30, 1998, due to being assigned to the new project. The job sponsor was aware of the employer change, but was unaware that changes needed to be made to the employee's employment status. The employee continued to work on the OMSS project after changing employment, while training for the new project, and was being paid after March 31, 1998 by DE& During the Problem Investigation Process (PIP) (0-M98-1118), the licensee determined that the employee was transferred from one Duke Power employer to another rather than terminated and rehired. The licensee retracted the NRC Notification (34067) on April 16, 199 Duke Power Nuclear Policy Manual-2. Nuclear System Directive B.1 Access Restrictions states, "If the termination of employment is VOLUNTARY / FAVORABLE the individual's Security Badge must ce restricted when there is no longer a need for work related unescorted access."
