UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION

REGION II

ril 24, 2008

SUBJECT:

MCGUIRE NUCLEAR STATION - NRC INTEGRATED INSPECTION REPORT 05000369/2008002 AND 05000370/2008002

Dear Mr. Hamilton:

On March 31, 2008, the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed an inspection at your McGuire Nuclear Station. The enclosed report documents the inspection findings which were discussed on April 3, 2008, with you and members of your staff.

The inspection examined activities conducted under your licenses as they relate to safety and compliance with the Commissions rules and regulations, and with the conditions of your licenses. The inspectors reviewed selected procedures and records, observed activities, and interviewed personnel.

This report documents three findings (two NRC-identified and one self-revealing) of very low safety significance (Green) which were determined to be violations of NRC requirements.

However, because of their very low safety significance, and because they were entered into your corrective action program, the NRC is treating these findings as non-cited violations (NCVs) consistent with Section VI.A of the NRC Enforcement Policy. If you deny these non-cited violations, you should provide a response with the basis for your denial, within 30 days of the date of this inspection report, to the United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission, ATTN:

Document Control Desk, Washington, D.C. 20555-0001, with copies to the Regional Administrator, Region II; the Director, Office of Enforcement, United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, D.C. 20555-0001; and the NRC Resident Inspector at the McGuire facility.

DEC 2 In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 of the NRC's "Rules of Practice," a copy of this letter, its enclosure, and your response (if any) will be available electronically for public inspection in the NRC Public Document Room or from the Publicly Available Records (PARS) component of NRC's 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,

/RA/

SUMMARY OF FINDINGS IR05000369/2008002, IR05000370/2008002; 1/1/2008 - 3/31/2008; McGuire Nuclear Station, Units 1 and 2; Licensed Operator Requalification, Maintenance Effectiveness, Other.

The report covered a three month period of inspection by resident inspectors and announced inspections by three health physicists and two reactor inspectors. Three Green non-cited violations (NCVs) were identified. The significance of most findings is indicated by their color (Green, White, Yellow, Red) using 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 NRC's program for overseeing the safe operation of commercial nuclear power reactors is described in NUREG-1649, Reactor Oversight Process, Revision 4, dated December 2006.

A. NRC-Identified and Self-Revealing Findings Cornerstone: Mitigating Systems

  • Green. The inspectors identified a non-cited violation (NCV) of Technical Specification (TS) 5.4.1.a. for failure to adequately establish and maintain procedures required by Regulatory Guide 1.33, Appendix A, Section 5, Procedures for Abnormal Conditions. Specifically, loss of nuclear service water (RN) procedures were not established and maintained with an adequate safety analysis for the sharing of nuclear service water between units.

This finding is more than minor because it affects the availability, reliability, and capability of the RN system (ultimate heat sink) and is related to the design control and procedure quality attributes of the mitigating systems cornerstone. In addition, this finding could be reasonably viewed as a precursor to a significant event (i.e. loss of RN on both units). The issue was determined to be of very low safety significance in IMC 0609 SDP Phase 1 screening based on the fact that this finding did not represent an actual loss of system safety function nor a loss of a single train of RN for greater than its Technical Specification allowed outage time, because these procedural steps had never been used. This finding has a cross-cutting aspect of resources in the area of human performance H.2.c]

because the licensee failed to ensure that procedures had complete, accurate and up-to-date design documentation to assure nuclear safety. (Section 1R11)

  • Green. A self-revealing NCV of TS 5.4.1.a, for failure to adequately implement procedures required by Regulatory Guide 1.33, Appendix A, Section 9, Procedures for Performing Maintenance, was identified. Specifically, foreign material exclusion control procedures as described in work orders were not implemented.

This finding is more than minor because it affects the availability, reliability, and capability of one train of the RN system (ultimate heat sink) and is related to the Enclosure

human performance and procedure quality attributes of the mitigating systems cornerstone. This finding was considered self-revealing because the foreign material (i.e., divers knife) was discovered in the 2A RN strainer as a result of the loss of safety equipment functionality. Data related to the frequency of high RN strainer differential pressure alarms was reviewed by the NRC staff for the seasonal macro-fouling periods of 2006 and 2007 to determine the total actual exposure time that macro-fouling occurred. Based on the data, a collective period of less than 30 days was selected as a conservative, bounding exposure number to determine the significance of the collective seasonal macro-fouling for the period from 2006 until January 28, 2008. The issue is of very low safety significance based on review IMC 0609 Appendix A pre-solved risk tables for loss of one train of nuclear service water for less than 30 days. This finding has a cross-cutting aspect of decision making in the area of human performance

H.1.b] because the licensee failed to use conservative assumptions in decision making when deciding not to implement foreign material procedures. (Section 1R13)

  • Green. The inspectors identified a NCV of 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion III, Design Control, for failure to establish measures to verify the design capability of the RN pumps. Specifically, the licensee did not perform system hydraulic analyses or use other means to demonstrate that RN pumps 1A and 1B could perform their safety function under the most limiting design basis conditions.

This finding is more than minor because it affected the design control attribute of the mitigating systems cornerstone objective to ensure the availability, reliability, and capability of systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences. The inspectors assessed the finding using the SDP and determined that the finding was of very low safety significance because subsequent engineering analysis, completed in March 2008, demonstrated there was no loss of RN system safety function capability when the worst case design basis accident (DBA) limiting values were input into the RN system flow analysis.

(Section 4OA5.2)

B. Licensee-Identified Violations None.

1. REACTOR SAFETY Cornerstones: Initiating Events, Mitigating Systems, Barrier Integrity 1R04 Equipment Alignment

.1 Partial Walkdown a. Inspection Scope The inspectors performed a partial walkdown of the three systems listed below to assess the operability of redundant or diverse trains and components when safety equipment was inoperable. The inspectors attempted to identify any discrepancies that could impact the function of the system, and, therefore, potentially increase risk. The inspectors reviewed applicable operating procedures, walked down control system components, and verified that selected breakers, valves, and support equipment were in the correct position to support system operation. The inspectors also verified that the licensee had properly identified and resolved equipment alignment problems that could cause initiating events or impact the capability of mitigating systems or barriers, and entered them into the corrective action program. Documents reviewed are listed in the Attachment to this report.

  • Unit 2 train B chemical and volume control system with train A out-of-service on January 8
  • Unit 1 train B emergency diesel generator with train A out of service on February 12 b. Findings No findings of significance were identified.

1R05 Fire Protection

.1 Fire Protection - Tours a. Inspection Scope For the seven areas identified below, the inspectors reviewed the licensees control of transient combustible material and ignition sources, fire detection and suppression capabilities, fire barriers, and any related compensatory measures, to determine whether those items were consistent with Updated Final Safety Analysis Report (UFSAR) Section 9.5.1, Fire Protection System, and the fire protection program as described in the Design Basis Specification for Fire Protection, MCS-1465.00-00-0008. To determine whether conditions in these areas were consistent with descriptions of the areas in the Design Basis Specification, the inspectors walked down accessible portions of each area, as well as reviewed the associated pre-fire plan strategy and the results from related surveillance tests. Documents reviewed during this inspection are listed in the Attachment to this report.

The inspected Areas included:

  • Unit 1 motor generator set room (fire area 22)
  • Unit 2 motor generator set room (fire area 23)
  • Unit 1 turbine building (fire area TBG)
  • Unit 1 feed pump area (fire area MFPT)
  • Unit 2 reactor building pipe chase (fire area RB2)
  • Unit 2 reactor building inside crane wall (fire area RB3)

b. Findings No findings of significance were identified.

1R07 Heat Sink Performance - Annual Resident Inspection a. Inspection Scope The inspectors selected the heat exchangers listed below based on their risk significance and reviewed the results of the associated inspections (including the digital pictures of the inlet channels and tube sheets) to determine whether the heat exchangers were ready and available to perform their intended functions as described in the UFSAR. Through review of digital pictures from the previous two refueling outages and comparing the as-found conditions for the three outages, the inspectors evaluated whether the frequency of inspection was sufficient to detect degradation prior to loss of heat removal capabilities below design requirements. The inspectors also reviewed heat Enclosure

exchanger differential pressure alarm history for the two heat exchangers with the heat exchanger engineer. The documents reviewed during this inspection are listed in the Attachment to this report.

  • 2B component cooling heat exchanger
  • 2A component cooling heat exchanger b. Findings No findings of significance were identified.

1R08 In-service Inspection (ISI) Activities (Unit 2)

.1 Piping Systems ISI a. Inspection Scope The inspectors reviewed the implementation of the licensees ISI program for monitoring degradation of the reactor coolant system (RCS) boundary and risk significant piping system boundaries. The inspectors reviewed a sample from activities performed during the Unit 2 end-of-cycle 18 (Spring 2008) refueling outage, including: (1) nondestructive examinations (NDE) required by the 1998 Edition through 2000 Addenda, of American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code,Section XI with a Risk Informed ISI Program; (2) Boric Acid Program activities done in response to GL 88-05; and (3) augmented examination commitments. The inspectors also reviewed the procedures, equipment, personnel qualifications, and work packages, observed Ultrasonic Examinations, and walked down the containment to examine boric acid leakages. The inspectors reviewed Self Assessment MCE-SA07-05, Boric Acid Corrosion Control Program and GO-07-014, 2007 Maintenance and Work Control Functional Area Evaluation. An Ultrasonic Examination (UT) report for Weld Overlay 2NC2FW2-NW6 for the Pressurizer 14 diameter surge line nozzle to safe end dissimilar weld was reviewed for Temporary Instruction (TI) 2515/172, Reactor Coolant System Dissimilar Metal Butt Welds.

Specifically, the inspectors reviewed NDE procedures, reports, equipment calibration and certification records, personnel qualification records, for the following NDE activities.

  • UT Report UT-08-001 of Pressurizer 14 diameter surge line, nozzle to safe end dissimilar overlay weld 2NC2FW2-NW6

  • UT Reports UT-06-281, 283, 285, & 350 of Pressurizer 8 diameter spray line, nozzle to head dissimilar weld 2PZR-12
  • UT Report UT-06-347 of Steam Generator C Tube Sheet to Lower Head weld 2-SGC-W22 The inspectors reviewed the following Repair/Replacement Activities for compliance with ASME Code. Specifically, the inspectors reviewed weld process control sheets, welder operating instructions, welding procedure specifications, welding procedure qualification records, welder qualification records, Certified Material Test Reports for weld material, and NDE reports.
  • Weld Repair/Replacement Work Order 01750537 for welds NC2FW101.8 & 101.18 for 1 diameter reactor head vent line valve replacement

.2 PWR Vessel Upper Head The inspection for the vessel upper head and head penetrations in accordance with NRC Order EA-03-009 was completed during the last outage and documented under Section 4OA.5.2 of NRC Inspection Report 05000369/2006005, 05000370/2006005, and 072000038/2006002, NRC TI 2515/150, Reactor Pressure Vessel Head and Vessel Head Penetration Nozzles. The licensee was not required to perform the head inspection during this outage, because it is in the low susceptibility category described in the Order. The next inspection is scheduled for the Unit 2 EOC 20 (Spring 2011)

Refueling Outage.

.3 Boric Acid Corrosion Control (BACC) Program a. Inspection Scope The inspectors reviewed the licensees Boric Acid Corrosion Control Program to ensure compliance with commitments made in response to NRC Generic Letter 88-05, Boric Acid Corrosion of Carbon Steel Reactor Pressure Boundary, and Bulletin 2002-01, Reactor Pressure Vessel Head Degradation and Reactor Coolant Pressure Boundary Integrity.

The inspectors conducted an on-site record review, and an independent walk-down of the containment building, which is not normally accessible during at-power operations, to evaluate licensee compliance with their program procedures and applicable industry guidance. In particular, the inspectors verified that the licensees visual examinations Enclosure

focused on locations where boric acid leaks could cause degradation of safety-related components and that degraded or non-conforming conditions were properly identified in the licensees corrective action program.

b. Findings No findings of significance were identified.

.4 Steam Generators The licensee did not perform the steam generator in-service inspection during this outage and delayed the inspection to the next outage. The licensee performed an evaluation which concluded that the steam generator in-service inspection could be delayed to the next outage. The inspectors reviewed the evaluation for the delayed inspection.

.5 Identification and Resolution of Problems a. Inspection Scope The inspectors performed a review of ISI related problems, including welding, and BACC program that were identified by the licensee and entered into the corrective action program as PIPs. The inspectors reviewed the PIPs to confirm that the licensee had appropriately described the scope of the problem and had initiated corrective actions.

The review also included the licensees consideration and assessment of operating experience events applicable to the plant. The inspectors performed this review to ensure compliance with 10CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion XVI, Corrective Action, requirements. The corrective action documents reviewed by the inspectors are listed in the Attachment to this report.

b. Findings No findings of significance were identified.

1R11 Licensed Operator Requalification a. Inspection Scope On January 30, 2008, the inspectors observed licensed operator performance during requalification simulator training for shift B, to determine whether operator performance was consistent with expected operator performance, as described in Exercise Guide OP-MC-SRT-40. This training tested the operators ability to perform abnormal and emergency procedures dealing with pressurizer pressure abnormalities, loss of electrical power, faulted steam generator, reactor trip, safety injection, and safety injection termination. The inspectors focused on clarity and formality of communication, use of procedures, alarm response, control board manipulations, group dynamics and Enclosure

supervisory oversight. The inspectors observed the post-exercise critique to determine whether the licensee identified deficiencies and discrepancies that occurred during the simulator training.

The inspectors reviewed PIP-M-07-6207, Acceptability of Using Operable Train of Nuclear Service Water to Feed Opposite Unit, to determine whether the licensee identified and implemented appropriate corrective actions.

b. Findings Introduction: The inspectors identified a Green NCV of TS 5.4.1.a. for failure to adequately establish and maintain procedures required by Regulatory Guide 1.33, Appendix A, Section 5, Procedures for Abnormal Conditions. Specifically, loss of nuclear service water procedures were not established and maintained with an adequate safety analysis for the sharing of nuclear service water between units.

Description: While observing licensed operator simulator training (Exercise Guide OP-MC-SRT-75) in November 2007, the inspectors identified steps in the abnormal procedure for loss of nuclear service water (AP/1/A/5500/20, AP/2/A/5500/20) that allowed cross-connecting the nuclear service water (RN) of one units safety train discharge headers to the other units safety train discharge headers. Upon a complete loss of RN, abnormal procedures first direct the operators to align the same units containment ventilation cooling water (RV) pumps to the RN system to maintain safety function. If no RV pumps are available to provide this defense in depth, the procedure response not obtained column then directs the operators to enclosure 1, which aligns an operating train of RN from the other unit (donor unit) through manual locked closed cross-connect valves which connect the RN systems of both units. When these cross-connect valves are opened, water from the donor units operating RN system will be diverted to the other unit. The amount of water diverted from the donor unit is dependent on the throttling of the valves in the system. The procedure has some minimal guidance on overall pump flow rates, based on the suction source (Lake Norman or standby nuclear service water pond), and guidance to monitor for alarms on equipment.

The licensees UFSAR was submitted in accordance with Regulatory Guide 1.70, which states that the UFSAR shall include a failure analysis to demonstrate any safety implications related to sharing of the service water system (Section 9.2.1). The licensees UFSAR section 3.1 commits to 10 CFR 50, Appendix A, General Design Criterion 5 (GDC 5), which states that systems shall not be shared among nuclear power units unless it can be shown that such sharing will not significantly impair their ability to perform their safety function. When requested by the inspectors, the licensee could not provide a safety analysis which showed that the procedural guidance to share the RN discharge safety trains between units would not significantly impair the operable RN systems ability to perform its safety function. License amendments 78 for Unit 1 and 59 for Unit 2 were previously approved to clarify that portions of the RN system are shared between the two McGuire units, but that the system is not shared in its entirety. The RN discharge headers were specifically designated as not shared in these amendments.

Enclosure

The licensee could not provide a subsequent license amendment that changed the designation of the shared portions of the RN system. The licensee subsequently informed the inspectors that a calculation did not exist.

Analysis: This finding is more than minor because it affects the availability, reliability, and capability of the RN system (ultimate heat sink) and is related to the design control and procedure quality attributes of the mitigating systems cornerstone. In addition, this finding could be reasonably viewed as a precursor to a significant event (i.e., loss of RN on both units). The issue was determined to be of very low safety significance (Green)

in IMC 0609 SDP Phase 1 screening based on the fact that this finding did not represent an actual loss of system safety function nor a loss of a single train of RN for greater than its TS allowed outage time, because these procedural steps had never been used. This finding has a cross-cutting aspect of resources in the area of human performance H.2.c]

because the licensee failed to ensure that procedures had complete, accurate and up-to-date design documentation to assure nuclear safety.

Enforcement: TS 5.4.1.a requires that written procedures be established, implemented, and maintained covering activities described in Regulatory Guide 1.33, Revision 2, Appendix A, 1978, which includes procedures for abnormal conditions (Section 5).

10CFR50, Appendix B, Criterion III, Design Control, states that measures shall be established to assure that the applicable regulatory requirements and the design basis, as specified in the license application, for those structures, systems, and components, to which this appendix applies are correctly translated into specifications, drawings, procedures, and instructions. UFSAR Section 3.1 commits to 10 CFR 50, Appendix A, General Design Criterion 5 (GDC 5), which states that systems shall not be shared among nuclear power units unless it can be shown that such sharing will not significantly impair their ability to perform their safety function. Contrary to the above, prior to March 2008, the licensee failed to adequately establish and maintain abnormal procedures for loss of nuclear service water (AP/1/A/5500/20, AP/2/A/5500/20), in that the procedures required operation of the nuclear service water system outside the bounds of the approved licensing basis. Specifically, these abnormal procedures required operators to cross-connect an operable RN train from one unit to the RN system on the other unit without a safety analysis showing that such sharing would not significantly impair the RN systems ability to perform its intended safety function for its original assigned unit.

Because this violation was determined to be of very low safety significance and was placed in the corrective action program as PIP M-07-6207, this violation is being treated as a NCV in accordance with Section VI.A.1 of the Enforcement Policy: NCV 05000369,370/2008002-01, Failure to Establish and Maintain Abnormal Procedures for Loss of Nuclear Service Water.

1R12 Maintenance Effectiveness a. Inspection Scope The inspectors reviewed the samples listed below for items such as: (1) appropriate work practices; (2) identifying and addressing common cause failures; (3) scoping in accordance with 10 CFR 50.65(b) of the maintenance rule; (4) characterizing reliability Enclosure

issues for performance; (5) trending key parameters for condition monitoring; (6) charging unavailability for performance; (7) classification and reclassification in accordance with 10 CFR 50.65(a)(1) or (a)(2); and (8) appropriateness of performance criteria for structures, systems, and components (SSCs)/functions classified as (a)(2)

and/or appropriateness and adequacy of goals and corrective actions for SSCs/functions classified as (a)(1). Documents reviewed are listed in the Attachment to the report.

  • Residual heat removal heat exchanger outlet isolation valve control failures c. Findings No findings of significance were identified.

1R13 Maintenance Risk Assessments and Emergent Work Evaluation a. Inspection Scope The inspectors reviewed the licensees risk assessments and the risk management actions used to manage risk for the plant configurations associated with the nine activities listed below. The inspectors assessed whether the licensee performed adequate risk assessments, and implemented appropriate risk management actions when required by 10CFR50.65(a)(4). For emergent work, the inspectors also verified that any increase in risk was promptly assessed, and that appropriate risk management actions were promptly implemented. The inspectors also reviewed associated PIPs to determine whether the licensee identified and implemented appropriate corrective actions.

  • Work associated with removing the Unit 1 switchyard red bus line from service for maintenance activities on January 7
  • Work associated with unit one, train A nuclear service water maintenance activities and associated elevated risk on January 15
  • Work associated with unit one, train A main feedwater pump control failure troubleshooting and repair on January 15
  • Work associated with unit one wet tap, for valve 1RN-400, located upstream of the inlet to the 1A diesel generator cooling water heat exchanger
  • Emergent work associated with 2A nuclear service water strainer backwash motor problems that resulted in an orange risk condition, and main feed pump digital controller issues that occurred at the same time
  • Emergent Unit 2 Orange risk on March 4 due to tornado watch causing a change in the power availability defense-in-depth key safety function assessment Enclosure
  • Emergent Unit 2 Orange risk on March 7 due to discovery of valve 2KF-122, fuel transfer tube isolation valve, not in the open position to credit long term injection source in decay heat removal key safety function assessment
  • Emergent issue associated with Unit 1 turbine building siding blowing off in area of Unit 1 main transformers b. Findings Introduction: A Green NCV of TS 5.4.1.a, for failure to adequately implement procedures required by Regulatory Guide 1.33, Appendix A, Section 9, Procedures for Performing Maintenance, was identified. Specifically, foreign material exclusion control procedures as described in work orders were not implemented.

Description: On January 28, 2008, the Unit 2 train A RN pump suction strainer motor experienced a motor overload alarm. The strainer motor was quickly secured to prevent damage and the A train of RN was declared inoperable. The function of the strainer is to prevent macro-fouling of the RN system. The strainer is maintained un-fouled from debris by backwashing a section of the strainer at a time. The motor performs a rotation function to ensure that all sections are backwashed over a set period of time. The licensee found that the strainer had been fouled by a divers knife, which was lodged in between the strainer basket and backwash chamber during rotation.

The licensees apparent cause determined that the foreign material (divers knife) came from maintenance activities associated with diving inspections of the RN suction piping conducted in 2006. While the work orders for those maintenance activities included foreign material control procedures, the procedures were never implemented by the job manager, because he believed the diving inspections of the suction piping did not formally constitute a breach of the RN system. Had the foreign control procedures been implemented, they would have directed the licensee to designate a monitor to log all items in and out of the suction piping to ensure no material (including a divers knife) was left inside the system after completion of work that could affect the operability of the system.

Analysis: This finding is more than minor because it affects the availability, reliability, and capability of one train of the RN system (ultimate heat sink) and is related to the human performance and procedure quality attributes of the mitigating systems cornerstone. This finding was considered self-revealing because the foreign material was discovered as a result of the loss of safety equipment functionality. Data related to the frequency of high RN strainer differential pressure alarms was reviewed by the NRC staff for the seasonal macro-fouling periods of 2006 and 2007 to determine the total actual exposure time that macro-fouling occurred. Based on the data, a collective period of less than 30 days was selected as a conservative, bounding exposure number to determine the significance of the collective seasonal macro-fouling for the period from 2006 until January 28, 2008. The issue is of very low safety significance (Green) based on review of IMC 0609 Appendix A pre-solved risk tables for loss of one train of RN for less than 30 days. This finding has a cross-cutting aspect of decision making in the area Enclosure

of human performance H.1.b] because the licensee failed to use conservative assumptions in decision making when deciding not to implement foreign material procedures.

Enforcement: TS 5.4.1.a requires the implementation of written procedures described in Regulatory Guide 1.33, Revision 2, Appendix A, including procedures for performing maintenance that can affect the performance of safety-related equipment. Duke Work Process Manual 700 requires that work execution comply with the requirements of the work order. Contrary to the above, prior to January 2008, the licensee failed to adequately implement work order instructions related to diving activities in the safety-related RN system. Specifically, foreign material exclusion control procedures, as described in work orders associated with diving inspections conducted on the safety-related RN system intake piping, were never implemented. As a result, a divers knife was lost and not retrieved, which resulted in the inoperability of the Unit 2 train A RN strainer. Because this violation was determined to be of very low safety significance and was placed in the corrective action program as PIP M-08-0514, this violation is being treated as a non-cited violation in accordance with Section VI.A.1 of the Enforcement Policy: NCV 05000370/2008002-02, Failure to Implement Foreign Material Exclusion Control Procedures.

1R15 Operability Evaluation a. Inspection Scope The inspectors reviewed the operability determinations the licensee had generated that warranted selection on the basis of risk insights. The selected samples are addressed in the PIPs listed below. The inspectors assessed the accuracy of the evaluations, the use and control of any necessary compensatory measures, and compliance with the TS.

The inspectors verified that the operability determinations were made as specified by Nuclear System Directive 203, Operability. The inspectors compared the arguments made in the determination to the requirements from the TS, the UFSAR, and associated design-basis documents, to determine whether operability was properly justified and the subject component or system remained available, such that no unrecognized increase in risk occurred.

1R19 Post Maintenance Testing a. Inspection Scope The inspectors reviewed the seven post-maintenance tests listed below to determine whether procedures and test activities ensured system operability and functional capability. The inspectors reviewed the licensees test procedure to determine: whether the procedure adequately tested the safety function(s) that may have been affected by the maintenance activity; if the acceptance criteria in the procedure were consistent with information in the applicable licensing basis and/or design basis documents; and whether the procedure had been properly reviewed and approved. The inspectors also witnessed the test or reviewed the test data, to determine whether test results adequately demonstrated restoration of the affected safety function(s).

1R20 Refueling and Outage Activities a. Inspection Scope The inspectors evaluated licensee outage activities to determine whether the licensee:

considered risk in developing outage schedules; adhered to administrative risk reduction methodologies they developed to control plant configuration, adhered to operating license and TS requirements that maintained defense-in-depth, and developed Enclosure

mitigation strategies for losses of the key safety functions identified below:

  • Inventory Control
  • Power Availability
  • Reactivity Control
  • Containment Prior to the outage, the inspectors reviewed the licensees outage risk control plan to determine whether the licensee had performed adequate risk assessments and had implemented appropriate risk management strategies when required by 10CFR50.65(a)(4).

The inspectors observed portions of the cooldown process to determine whether TS cooldown restrictions were followed. The inspectors observed the items or activities described below, to determine whether the licensee maintained defense-in-depth commensurate with the outage risk control plan for the key safety functions identified above and applicable TS when taking equipment out-of-service.

  • Clearance Activities
  • Electrical Power
  • Spent Fuel Pool Cooling
  • Inventory Control
  • Reactivity Control
  • Containment Closure The inspectors reviewed the licensees responses to emergent work and unexpected conditions, to determine whether resulting configuration changes were controlled in accordance with the outage risk control plan. The inspectors also observed fuel handling operations (removal, sipping, and insertion) and other ongoing activities, including control rod latching, to determine whether those operations and activities were being performed in accordance with TS and procedure PT/0/A/4150/037, Total Core Unloading. Additionally, the inspectors observed refueling activities to determine whether the location of the fuel assemblies was tracked, including new fuel, from core offload through core reload.

Prior to mode changes and on a sampling basis, the inspectors reviewed system lineups and/or control board indications to determine whether TSs, license conditions, and other requirements, commitments, and administrative procedure prerequisites for mode changes were met prior to changing modes or plant configurations. Also, the inspectors periodically reviewed reactor coolant system boundary leakage data, and observed the setting of containment integrity, to determine whether the reactor coolant system and containment boundaries were in place and had integrity when necessary.

Enclosure

Periodically, the inspectors reviewed the items that had been entered into the licensees corrective action program, to determine whether the licensee had identified problems related to outage activities at an appropriate threshold and had entered them into the corrective action program. For the significant problems documented in the corrective action program and listed in the Attachment to this report, the inspectors reviewed the results of the licensees investigations to assess whether the licensee had determined the root cause and implemented appropriate immediate corrective actions, as required by 10CFR50, Appendix B, Criterion XVI, Corrective Action.

The inspectors reviewed the licensees compliance with Enforcement Guidance Memorandum (EGM) 07-006, Enforcement Discretion for Heavy Load Handling Activities, to determine whether the licensees action for the lift and set of the reactor vessel head justified enforcement discretion. Specifically, the inspectors evaluated whether the licensee had complied with the following:

(1) For all heavy load lifts within the reactor building, the licensee has defined and implemented safe load paths, load handling procedures, and standards for training of crane operators, use of special lifting devices, use of slings, and design, inspection, testing, and maintenance of the reactor building polar crane.

The inspectors reviewed the documents listed in the Attachment to this report, including lift procedures, crane and lift device inspection results, and training records.

(2) Perform the lift with an accepted safety basis that bounds the planned lifts with respect to load weight, load height, and medium present under the load, and implement procedures for moving the head that reflect the safety basis.

The inspectors reviewed calculation MCC-1134.02-00-0043, Reactor Vessel Head Load Drop Analysis, that was performed by Westinghouse for McGuire and Catawba, and observed the head lifts to determine whether the bounds of the calculation and the procedures listed in the Attachment to this report were followed.

(3) Include the movement of heavy loads as a configuration management activity in administrative controls established to implement 10CFR 50.65(a)(4).

The inspectors observed the licensees risk assessment process and discussed their methodology with licensee personnel.

b. Findings No findings of significance were identified. The inspectors did find that the licensees UFSAR had not yet been updated for the site specific load lift analysis described in calculation MCC-1134.02-00-0043. However, because the inspectors determined that the licensee has complied with the intent of Enforcement Guidance Memorandum 07-006 for the reactor vessel head lift and set during the Unit 2 refueling outage, enforcement discretion (EA-08-035) is continuing to be exercised (as previously stated in NRC Inspection Report 05000369,370/2007005) in accordance with Section VII.B.6 of the NRC Enforcement Policy without any enforcement action being taken.

b. Findings No findings of significance were identified.

2. RADIATION SAFETY Cornerstone: Occupational Radiation Safety (OS)

2OS1 Access Control To Radiologically Significant Areas a. Inspection Scope Access Controls - The inspectors evaluated licensee performance in controlling worker access to radiologically significant areas and monitoring jobs in-progress associated with the 2EOC18 outage. The inspectors directly observed implementation of administrative and physical radiological controls; evaluated radiation worker (radworker) and health physics technician (HPT) knowledge of and proficiency in implementing radiation protection requirements; and assessed worker exposures to radiation and radioactive material.

During facility tours, the inspectors directly observed postings and physical controls for radiation areas, high radiation areas (HRAs), and potential airborne radioactivity areas established within the radiologically controlled area (RCA) of the Unit 2 containment, Unit 1 and Unit 2 auxiliary buildings, and radioactive waste (radwaste) processing and storage locations. The inspectors independently measured radiation dose rates or directly observed conduct of licensee radiation surveys for selected RCA areas. Results were compared to current licensee surveys and assessed against established postings and Radiation Work Permit (RWP) controls. Licensee key control and access barrier effectiveness were evaluated for selected Unit 1 and Unit 2 Locked High Radiation Area (LHRA) and Very High Radiation Area (VHRA) locations. Changes to procedural guidance for LHRA and VHRA controls were discussed with health physics (HP)

supervisors. Controls and their implementation for storage of irradiated material within the spent fuel pool (SFP) were reviewed and discussed. Established radiological controls were evaluated for selected Unit 2 EOC18 tasks including cavity liner plate grinding/welding and entry into the upper cavity area near the reactor head. In addition, licensee controls for areas where dose rates could change significantly as a result of plant shutdown and refueling operations were reviewed and discussed.

For selected tasks, the inspectors attended pre-job briefings and reviewed RWP details to assess communication of radiological control requirements to workers. Occupational workers adherence to selected RWPs and HPT proficiency in providing job coverage were evaluated through direct observations and interviews with licensee staff. Electronic dosimeter (ED) alarm set points were evaluated against area radiation survey results for cavity liner plate grinding/welding near the Unit 2 transfer canal.

The inspectors evaluated the effectiveness of radiation exposure controls, including air sampling, barrier integrity, engineering controls, and postings through a review of both internal and external exposure results. Worker exposure as measured by ED and by Enclosure

licensee evaluations of skin doses resulting from discrete radioactive particle or dispersed skin contamination events were reviewed and assessed. For high radiation area tasks involving significant dose rate gradients (i.e., work in the transfer canal), the inspectors evaluated the use and placement of whole body and extremity dosimetry to monitor worker exposure.

Radiation protection activities were evaluated against the requirements of UFSAR Section 12; TS Sections 5.4 and 5.7; 10 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Parts 19 and 20; and approved licensee procedures. Records reviewed are listed in Section 2OS1 of the Attachment to this report Problem Identification and Resolution - Licensee Corrective Action Program (CAP)

documents associated with access control to radiologically significant areas were reviewed and assessed. This included review of selected PIPs related to radworker and HPT performance. The inspectors evaluated the licensees ability to identify, characterize, prioritize, and resolve the identified issues in accordance with procedure NSD 208, Problem Investigation Process, Rev. 28. The inspectors also reviewed recent self-assessment results. Licensee CAP documents reviewed are listed in Section 2OS1 of the Attachment to this report. The inspectors completed 21 of the required line-item samples described in Inspection Procedure (IP) 71121.01.

b. Findings No findings of significance were identified.

2OS2 ALARA Planning and Controls a. Inspection Scope As Low As Reasonably Achievable (ALARA) - Implementation of the licensee's ALARA program during Unit 2 EOC 18 refueling outage was observed and evaluated by the inspectors. The inspectors reviewed ALARA planning, dose estimates, and prescribed ALARA controls for outage work tasks expected to incur the maximum collective exposures. Reviewed activities included cavity liner repair and ECCS sump modifications. Also, incorporation of planning, established work controls, expected dose rates and dose expenditure into the ALARA pre-job briefings and RWPs for those activities were reviewed. The inspectors directly observed performance of these activities while evaluating the licensees use of engineering controls, low-dose waiting areas, and on-the-job supervision.

Select elements of the licensee's source term reduction and control program were examined to evaluate the effectiveness of the program in supporting implementation of the ALARA program goals. Shutdown chemistry program implementation and the resultant effect on containment and auxiliary building dose rate trending data were reviewed and discussed with cognizant licensee representatives; this included a significant reduction in dose rates from what was observed in previous outages that was Enclosure

being attributed to the implementation of zinc injection, reduced inventory cleanup, and ultrasonic fuel cleaning.

Trends in individual and collective personnel exposures were reviewed. Records of year-to-date individual radiation exposures sorted by work groups were examined for significant variations of exposures among workers. The inspectors examined the dose records of all declared pregnant workers from 2007 and 2008 to evaluate total or current gestation dose. The applicable RP procedure was reviewed to assess licensee controls for declared pregnant workers. Trends in the plants three-year rolling average collective exposure history, outage, non-outage, and total annual doses for select years were reviewed and discussed with licensee representatives.

The licensee's ALARA program implementation and practices were evaluated for consistency with UFSAR Chapter 12, Radiation Protection; 10 CFR Part 20 requirements; Regulatory Guide 8.29, Instruction Concerning Risks from Occupational Radiation Exposure, February 1996; and licensee procedures. Documents reviewed during the inspection of this program area are listed in Section 2OS2 of the Attachment to this report.

Problem Identification and Resolution - The inspectors reviewed CAP documents listed in Section 2OS2 of the report Attachment that were related to the ALARA program. The inspectors assessed the licensees ability to identify, characterize, prioritize, and resolve the identified issues in accordance with SPP-3.1, Corrective Action Program, Rev. 12.

The inspectors completed 25 of the samples detailed in IP 71121.02.

b. Findings No findings of significance were identified.

Cornerstone: Public Radiation Safety 2PS1 Radioactive Gaseous and Liquid Effluent Treatment and Monitoring Systems Groundwater Monitoring a. Inspection Scope The inspectors reviewed the licensees implementation of the NEI Groundwater Protection initiative. The review included the review of two voluntary reports made to the NRC and State and Local Authorities. The reports were for water that had already been radiologically monitored for release but was being treated to meet NPDES criteria for foaming. The inspectors walked down the systems involved and the corrective actions that had been taken. Additionally, the inspectors reviewed an inspection report made by the Mecklenburg County Land Use and Environmental Services Agency regarding their on-site inspection and independent sampling performed in response to the voluntary reports.

Enclosure

The licensee has a system of 55 on-site monitoring wells that are routinely sampled and analyzed for tritium and other mobile nuclides. All of the sample results were well below the EPA drinking water limit for tritium of 20,000 pico-Curies/ liter. Most of the wells showed levels comparable to the background levels found local area lakes. Three wells showed elevated levels, one of which showed approximately 60% of the EPA drinking water limit. The nearest drinking water well is approximately 4000 feet away, and based on topography, could not reasonably be expected to be affected.

b. Findings No findings of significance were identified.

Cornerstone: Public Radiation Safety 2PS2 Radioactive Material Processing and Transportation a. Inspection Scope Waste Processing and Characterization - The inspectors reviewed and discussed the currently installed radioactive waste (radwaste) processing system as described in the UFSAR Section 11. In addition, stored and disposed radwaste types and quantities as documented in Effluent Release Reports for Calendar Year 2006 were discussed with responsible licensee representatives.

During the inspection, the operability and configuration of selected liquid and solid radwaste processing systems and equipment were evaluated. Inspection activities included reviews of procedures and records, interviews with plant personnel, and direct inspection of processing equipment and piping. The inspectors directly observed equipment material condition and configuration for liquid and solid radwaste processing systems. Licensee staff was interviewed regarding equipment function and operability.

The licensees policy regarding abandoned radwaste equipment was reviewed and discussed with cognizant licensee representatives. Chemistry staff was interviewed to assess knowledge of radwaste system processing operations. Procedural guidance involving transfer of resin and filling of waste packages was reviewed for consistency with the licensees Process Control Program (PCP) and UFSAR details.

Licensee radionuclide characterizations of each major waste stream were evaluated.

For dry active waste (DAW), primary resin, secondary resin, and filters, the inspectors evaluated PCP and licensee procedural guidance against 10 CFR 61.55 and the Branch Technical Position (BTP) on Radioactive Waste Classification details. Part 61 data and scaling factors were reviewed and discussed with licensee representatives for radwaste processed or transferred to licensed burial facilities from October 1, 2006, through March 20, 2008. The licensees analyses and current scaling factors for quantifying hard-to-detect nuclides were assessed.

The inspectors discussed potential for changes to plant operating conditions and reviewed selected DAW waste stream radionuclide data to determine if known plant changes were assessed and radionuclide composition remained consistent for the Enclosure

period reviewed. Effects of zinc addition on primary chemistry and waste streams were discussed with chemistry and radwaste staff.

Transportation - The inspectors evaluated the licensees activities related to transportation of radioactive material. The evaluation included review of shipping records and procedures, assessment of worker training and proficiency, and direct observation of shipping activities.

The inspectors assessed shipping-related procedures for compliance with applicable regulatory requirements. Selected shipping records were reviewed for completeness and accuracy, and for consistency with licensee procedures. Training records for individuals qualified to ship radioactive material were verified. Inspectors directly observed radiation and contamination surveys for a shipment of dry active waste.

The inspectors directly observed radiation surveys of the boxes and the transport vehicle being prepared for shipment. Responsible staff was interviewed to assess their knowledge of package radiation and contamination controls and applicable limits.

Transportation program guidance and implementation were reviewed against regulations detailed in 10 CFR 71.5, 49 CFR 170-189, and applicable licensee procedures listed in the Attachment to this report. In addition, training activities were assessed against 49 CFR 172 Subpart H, and the guidance documented in NRC Bulletin 79-19.

Problem Identification and Resolution - Licensee CAP documents associated with radwaste processing and transportation activities were reviewed and assessed. The inspectors evaluated the licensees ability to identify, characterize, prioritize, and resolve the identified issues in accordance with NSD-208, Problem Investigation Process, Rev. 28. Specific assessments and PIP documents reviewed in detail for this inspection area are identified in Section 2PS2 of the Attachment to this report.

.2 (Closed) Unresolved Item (URI) 05000369,370/2006007-004, Nuclear Service Water (RN) System Flow Analysis a. Inspection Scope During the 2006 component design basis inspection (CDBI) an URI was indentified related to a design control finding for the licensees failure to perform adequate analysis to verify that RN pumps 1A and 1B could perform their safety function under most limiting design basis conditions. The CDBI identified several design input deficiencies in the existing RN system flow analysis. These deficiencies were design basis accident (DBA) limiting conditions which were not input into previous system analyses to assure RN system capability during the DBA. These included the following:

  • TS allowed EDG frequency variations (over and under) on pump performance
  • RN pump NPSH margin - projection of actual test values to DBA conditions
  • Pump degradation permitted by IWP Enclosure
  • Impact from SNSWP evaporation during DBA on RN pump performance
  • Maximum number of tubes plugged in heat exchangers (HX)
  • Maximum RN flow
  • Minimum tube plugging
  • Validation of HX tube plugging limit based on 60/40 % mud/water assumption The item was unresolved pending the completion of the licensees RN system flow analysis model. The flow analysis model was completed in March, 2008.

b. Findings Introduction: The inspectors identified a Green NCV of 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion III, Design Control, for failure to establish measures to verify the design capability of the RN pumps. Specifically, the licensee did not perform system hydraulic analyses or use other means to demonstrate that RN Pumps 1A and 1B could perform their safety function under the most limiting design basis conditions.

Description: The CDBI identified that the licensee did not perform system hydraulic analyses, nor use other means to demonstrate that RN Pumps 1A and 1B would be able to deliver the required flows to the safety-related components and HXs under the limiting design basis conditions. Some of the limiting design basis conditions included:

maximum allowable pump degradation; maximum number of tubes plugged in the HXs; minimum ultimate heat sink (UHS) level; and EDG under-frequency. The CDBI also identified a lack of analysis to demonstrate that the RN pumps would be protected from cavitation under the limiting design basis conditions such as minimum allowed UHS level, EDG over-frequency, maximum RN flow, minimum HX tube plugging, etc. The team also questioned how the 60/40% mud/water assumption used to establish the heat exchanger tube plugging limits was validated. Operation of the RN pumps under the most limiting design basis conditions could have affected the systems ability to deliver the required flows to the safety related HXs, or resulted in cavitation conditions. The licensee initiated PIP M-06-1593, to address these issues.

Analysis: Failure to perform analyses to demonstrate that RN Pumps 1A and 1B could perform their safety function under the most limiting design basis conditions is a performance deficiency. This finding is more than minor because it affected the design control attribute of the mitigating systems cornerstone objective to ensure the availability, reliability, and capability of systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences. The inspectors assessed this finding for significance in accordance with NRC Manual Chapter 0609, Appendix A, Attachment 1, Significance Determination Process (SDP) for Reactor Inspection Findings for At-Power Situations, and determined that it was of very low safety significance (Green) because subsequent engineering analysis, completed in December 2007, demonstrated that there was no loss of RN system safety function capability when the worst case DBA limiting values were input into the RN system flow analysis. This finding was reviewed for cross-cutting aspects and none were identified.

Enclosure

Enforcement: 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion III, Design Control states, in part, that the design control measures shall provide for verifying or checking the adequacy of design, such as by the performance of design reviews, by the use of alternate or simplified calculation methods, or by the performance of a suitable testing program.

Contrary to the above, the team identified on April 20, 2006, that the licensee did not perform a system hydraulic analysis or use other means to demonstrate that RN Pumps 1A and 1B could perform their safety function under the most limiting design basis conditions. This condition had existed since original plant licensing and was applicable to RN Pumps 2A and 2B also. This finding was entered into the licensees corrective action program as PIP M-06-1593 with actions to evaluate the RN system capability under limiting design basis conditions. Because the finding was of very low safety significance and has been entered into the licensee's corrective action program (PIP M-06-1593), this violation is being treated as a non-cited violation (NCV), consistent with Section VI.A of the NRC Enforcement Policy: NCV 05000369,370/2008002-03, Nuclear Service Water System Flow Analysis Deficiencies.

4OA6 Meetings, Including Exit On April 3, 2008, the resident inspectors presented the inspection results to Mr. Bruce Hamilton and other members of his staff. The inspectors confirmed that proprietary information was not provided or examined during the inspection.
