SUBJECT:

LASALLE COUNTY STATION, UNITS 1 AND 2 USNRC INTEGRATED INSPECTION REPORT 50-373/02-05; 50-374/02-05

Dear Mr. Skolds:

On September 30, 2002, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (USNRC) completed an integrated inspection at your LaSalle County Station, Units 1 and 2. The enclosed report documents the inspection findings which were discussed on September 27, 2002, with Mr. G. Barnes and other members of your staff.

The inspection examined activities conducted under your license as they relate to safety and compliance with the Commissions rules and regulations and with the conditions of your license.

The inspectors reviewed selected procedures and records, observed activities, and interviewed personnel.

Based on the results of this inspection, the inspectors identified one issue of very low safety significance (Green) that was determined to involve a violation of USNRC requirements.

However, because of its very low safety significance and because it was entered into your corrective action program, the USNRC is treating this issue as a Non-Cited Violation in accordance with Section VI.A.1 of the USNRCs Enforcement Policy. If you contest the subject or severity of a Non-Cited Violation, you should provide a response within 30 days of the date of this inspection report, with a basis for your denial, to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, ATTN: Document Control Desk, Washington, DC 20555-0001, with a copy to the Regional Administrator, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission - Region III, 801 Warrenville Road, Lisle, IL 60532-4351; the Director, Office of Enforcement, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555-0001; and the Resident Inspector Office at LaSalle County Station. In response to the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001 the USNRC issued an Order and several threat advisories to commercial power reactors to strengthen licensees capabilities and readiness to respond to a potential attack. The USNRC established a deadline of September 1, 2002 for licensees to complete modifications and process upgrades required by the order. In order to confirm compliance with this order, the USNRC issued Temporary Instruction 2515/148 and over the next year, the USNRC will inspect each licensee in accordance with this Temporary Instruction. The USNRC continues to monitor overall security controls and may issue additional temporary instructions or require additional inspections should conditions warrant.

In accordance with 10 CFR 2.790 of the USNRC's "Rules of Practice," a copy of this letter and its enclosure will be made available electronically for public inspection in the USNRC Public Document Room or from the Publicly Available Records (PARS) component of USNRCs document system (ADAMS). ADAMS is accessible from the USNRC Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html (the Public Electronic Reading Room).

SUMMARY OF FINDINGS

IR 05000373-02-05, 05000374-02-05; Exelon; on 07/01-09/30/02, LaSalle County Station;

Units 1 & 2. Fire Protection, Identification and Resolution of Problems.

This report covers a 3-month period of baseline resident inspection and announced baseline inspections on radiation protection and security. The inspection was conducted by Region III inspectors and the LaSalle, Dresden, and Clinton resident inspectors. One Green finding and two associated Non-Cited Violations were identified. 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 may be Green or be assigned a severity level after USNRC management review. The USNRCs 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. Inspection Findings

Cornerstone: Mitigating Systems

Green.

The inspectors identified dried paint on the side of a safety-related switchgear bus duct which led to the identification of openings between the Unit 1 and Unit 2 Division 1 and Division 2 Essential Switchgear Rooms. These openings compromised the 3-hour fire protection barrier separating the two fire zones.

The issue was of very low safety significance since it was not likely that redundant safe shutdown equipment would be significantly impacted. A Non-Cited Violation of License Condition 25 concerning the LaSalle Unit 1 and Unit 2 Fire Protection Program was identified. (Section 1R05)

A Non-Cited Violation of 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion XVI, Corrective Action, was also identified due to the failure to take adequate corrective action to address a similar issue that occurred in June 2000. (Section 4OA2)

Licensee-Identified Violations

Violations of very low safety significance, which were identified by the licensee have been reviewed by the inspectors. Corrective actions taken or planned by the licensee have been entered into the licensees corrective action program. These violations and corrective action tracking numbers are listed in Section 4OA7 of this report.

REPORT DETAILS

Summary of Plant Status:

Unit 1 operated at or near full power until August 18, when power was reduced to about 50 percent to isolate the B heater string to address indications of 14B low pressure feedwater heater tube leakage. The problem was resolved and the unit was returned to full power on August 23. Unit 1 operated at full power until August 25 when power was reduced to about 82 percent to address a leaking electro-hydraulic line associated with the #1 turbine control valve (TCV). The TCV was repaired and the unit was returned to full power later that day.

Unit 1 operated at full power until August 26, when power was reduced to about 82 percent to address an unexpected closure of the #1 turbine control valve. The problem was repaired and the unit was returned to full power on August 27. Unit 1 operated at or near full power for the remainder of the inspection period, except for power reductions to perform maintenance, pre-planned surveillance testing activities, and rod pattern adjustments.

Unit 2 operated at or near full power until August 23 when power was reduced to about 23 percent to perform power suppression testing to identify leaking fuel rods. Testing was completed and the unit was returned to full power on August 27. Unit 2 operated at or near full power for the remainder of the inspection period, except for power reductions to perform maintenance, pre-planned surveillance testing activities, and rod pattern adjustments.

1R04 Equipment Alignment

.1 Partial Walkdowns

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors performed partial walkdowns of accessible portions of trains of risk-significant mitigating systems equipment during times when the trains were of increased importance due to the redundant trains or other related equipment being unavailable. The inspectors utilized the valve and electric breaker checklists listed at the end of this report to verify that the components were properly positioned and that support systems were lined up as needed. The inspectors also examined the material condition of the components and observed operating parameters of equipment to verify that there were no obvious deficiencies. The inspectors reviewed outstanding work orders and condition reports (CRs) associated with the trains to verify that those documents did not reveal issues that could affect train function. The inspectors used the information in the appropriate sections of the Updated Final Safety Analysis Report (UFSAR) to determine the functional requirements of the systems.

The inspectors verified the alignment of the following trains:

  • On July 9, 2002, the inspectors performed a walkdown of the accessible portions of the 2B and 2C Residual Heat Removal (RHR) systems to verify system availability during scheduled maintenance on the 2A RHR and Unit 2 Low Pressure Core Spray (LPCS) systems.
  • On July 23, 2002, the inspectors performed a walkdown of the Unit 1 and Unit 2 Station Air Compressors (SACs) to verify system availability during scheduled maintenance on the Unit 0 SAC.
  • On August 28, 2002, the inspectors performed a walkdown of the accessible portions of the Unit 2 Standby Gas Treatment (SBGT) system to verify system operability during scheduled maintenance on the Unit 1 Standby Gas Treatment system.

b. Findings

No findings of significance were identified.

.2 Complete Walkdown

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors performed a complete walkdown of accessible portions of the Unit 1 and Unit 2 Reactor Core Isolation Cooling (RCIC) systems to verify system operability. This system was selected because it was considered both safety-significant and risk-significant in the licensees probabilistic risk assessment.

The inspection consisted of the following activities:

  • a review of plant procedures (including selected abnormal and emergency procedures), drawings, and the UFSAR to identify proper system alignment;
  • a review of outstanding or completed temporary and permanent modifications to the system;
  • a review of control room operator log entries; and
  • an electrical and mechanical walkdown of the system to verify proper alignment, component accessibility, availability, and current condition.

The inspectors also reviewed selected issues documented in Condition Reports (CRs),to determine if they had been properly addressed in the licensees corrective action program.

b. Findings

No findings of significance were identified.

1R05 Fire Protection

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors walked down the following risk significant areas to identify any fire protection degradations:

  • Fire Zone 1: Refueling Floor

Room

  • Fire Zone 7C6: Unit 1 Division 1 CSCS Room
  • Fire Zone 4C2: Auxiliary Building - Main Floor
  • Fire Zone 4C3: Auxiliary Building - Elevation 768'
  • Fire Zone 3B1: Unit 2 Reactor Building - Elevation 820'
  • Fire Zone 4F3: Auxiliary Building - Ground Floor
  • Fire Zone 5D6: Turbine Building Clean and Dirty Oil Tank Room
  • Fire Zone 3I6: Unit 2 Reactor Building Drain Tank Room
  • Fire Zone 3C: Unit 2 Reactor Building - Elevation 807'
  • Fire Zone 3I1: Unit 2 Reactor Building - Elevation 673'
  • Fire Zone 5A3: Turbine Building Operating Floor and Heater Bay
  • Fire Zone 5B5: Turbine Building - Unit 1 Elevation 731'
  • Fire Zone 5B6: Turbine Building - Unit 2 Elevation 731'
  • Fire Zone 5D5: Turbine Building Upper Basement Area
  • Fire Zone 5C11: Turbine Building - Ground Floor General Area The inspectors also conducted a routine walkdown of the Unit 1 Division 1 Essential Switchgear Room.

Emphasis was placed on control of transient combustibles and ignition sources; the material condition, operational lineup, and operational effectiveness of the fire protection systems, equipment, and features; and the material condition and operational status of fire barriers used to prevent fire damage or fire propagation.

In particular, the inspectors verified that all observed transient combustibles were being controlled in accordance with the licensees administrative control procedures. In addition, the inspectors observed the physical condition of fire suppression devices, such as overhead sprinklers, and verified that any observed deficiencies did not impact the operational effectiveness of the system. The physical condition of portable fire fighting equipment, such as portable fire extinguishers, was observed. The inspectors also observed that extinguishers were located appropriately and that access to the extinguishers was unobstructed. Fire hoses were verified to be installed at appropriate locations and the physical condition of the hoses was verified to be satisfactory and access unobstructed. The physical condition of passive fire protection features such as fire doors, ventilation system fire dampers, fire barriers, fire zone penetration seals, and fire retardant structural steel coatings were inspected and verified to be properly installed and in good physical condition.

b. Findings

Introduction One Green finding and an associated Non-Cited Violation of License Condition 25 concerning the LaSalle Unit 1 and Unit 2 Fire Protection Program was identified when dried paint was found on the side of a safety-related switchgear bus duct which led to the identification of openings between the Unit 1 and Unit 2, Division 1 and Division 2 Essential Switchgear Rooms. A Non-Cited Violation of 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Corrective Action, was also identified due to the failure to take adequate corrective action to address a similar issue identified in June 2000 (Section 4OA2).

Description During a routine walkdown of the Unit 1 Division 1 Essential Switchgear Room (Fire Zone 4F1), the inspectors identified dried paint on the side of a bus duct which communicated between the Unit 1 Division 1 and Unit 1 Division 2 Essential Switchgear Rooms. Following questions regarding the origin of the paint, licensee personnel identified that external bus duct fire seals between the Unit 1 Division 1 and Unit 1 Division 2 Essential Switchgear Rooms were missing.

The Unit 1 Division 2 Essential Switchgear Room (Fire Zone 4E3) is located directly above the Unit 1 Division 1 Essential Switchgear Room. The missing seals potentially compromised the 3-hour external fire barrier between the two fire zones. As a result, the bus duct seals were declared inoperable and hourly fire watches were established in accordance with Technical Requirement Manual (TRM) 3.7.o. Additional walkdowns identified a similar condition on Unit 2. The issue was entered into the licensees corrective action program as Condition Report (CR) 00095253.

As discussed in USNRC Inspection Report 50-373/00-11(DRP); 50-374/00-11(DRP) in July 2000, the inspectors identified an open corehole in the overhead of the Unit 1 Division 1 Essential Switchgear Room that was not sealed with any fire retardant material. Subsequently, licensee personnel discovered a second open corehole. Both open coreholes compromised the 3-hour fire rating between the two safety-related switchgear rooms.

Also, as discussed in Section 4OA2 of this report, during recent extent of condition reviews of inaccessible areas as a result of the inspectors identification of the missing exterior bus duct seals, licensee personnel identified two Unit 2 open coreholes which were not properly sealed. Both of these unsealed Unit 2 openings were in similar locations as the unsealed Unit 1 openings identified above.

During this inspection period, licensee personnel completed a root cause investigation regarding the circumstances which led to the most recent material condition issues, and assessed the collective risk of all these issues utilizing Appendix F, Determining Potential Risk Significance of Fire Protection and Post-Fire Safe Shutdown Inspection Findings, of Inspection Manual Chapter (IMC) 0609, Significance Determination Process. The following discussion presents the results of those reviews and the results of the inspectors review of this issue. A review of the corrective actions to address a similar issue documented in Problem Identification Form (PIF) L2000-03778 and PIF L2000-03839 was performed and is discussed in Section 4OA2 of this report.

Analysis - Fire Scenario Based on these fire barrier degradations, the inspectors postulated a Bus 241Y fire in the Unit 2 Division 1 Essential Switchgear Room initiated by either transient combustibles or a fault on Bus 241Y which propagated to the cable trays over Bus 241Y, resulting in the complete loss of Unit 2 Division 1 alternating current (AC)power. The fire was initially postulated to have sufficient thermal energy to potentially affect the breaker cubicles immediately above the open coreholes. However, based upon fire analysis modeling results, it is not believed that the combustible loading of the overhead cables was sufficient to create a hot gas layer of sufficient temperature to have a significant temperature-based impact on Division 2 equipment. A similar type scenario with similar results could also be postulated for Unit 1. As a conservative measure, an SDP Phase 2 analysis was performed.

Significance Determination Process Review The inspectors, in conjunction with Region III fire protection and probabilistic risk assessment experts, assessed the issue utilizing the Significance Determination Process (SDP) as provided in Inspection Manual Chapter 0609, Appendix F. Because the missing bus duct seals represented a degradation of a defense-in-depth fire protection element and compromised the 3-hour fire barrier separation requirements for redundant safe shutdown trains, a Phase 2 SDP analysis was performed.

A fire in the Division 1 switchgear room could potentially cause a reactor trip and a loss of 4160V AC Bus 241Y. Therefore, two SDP worksheets, Transients (TRAN) and Loss of 4160V AC Bus 241Y (LAC1), were used to evaluate the finding. Mitigation capabilities were evaluated assuming all Division 1 cables and the Division 2 B RHR breaker were damaged. This was a conservative assumption since the fire analysis demonstrated that the temperature at the ceiling of the Division 1 Essential Switchgear Room would be below the damage temperature for any power cable in the Division 2 Essential Switchgear Room. Damage to the B RHR pump cubicles was assumed to be limited and actions to expeditiously replace the B RHR pump motor breaker with the C RHR pump motor breaker was credited. Since other Division 2 redundant safe shutdown equipment remained available to mitigate the consequences of a fire in the Division 1 Essential Switchgear Room, this finding screened out as Green. Other factors which primarily contributed to this result included the following:

  • Since the fire modeling showed that temperatures required for breaker damage could not to be achieved, a moderate fire barrier degradation was assumed.
  • Since there was no automatic suppression features in the Unit 1 and Unit 2 Division 1 and Division 2 Essential Switchgear Rooms, no credit for automatic fire suppression was given. However, the effectiveness of the fire brigade resulted in maximum credit for manual fire suppression and detection.
  • Based upon historical data, the transient combustible loading in the Unit 1 and Unit 2 Division 1 and Division 2 Essential Switchgear Rooms was assumed to be relatively small.
  • Fire ignition frequencies of 7.93E-3 per year for a switchgear fire (per the licensees IPEEE) and 5.9E-4 per year for a transient combustible fire (EPRI methodology) were utilized.

Enforcement License Condition 25 for LaSalle Unit 1 and Unit 2 required that the fire protection program be implemented and maintained in accordance with the LaSalle Updated Final Safety Analysis Report (UFSAR) and NUREG-0519, Safety Evaluation Report Related to the Operation of LaSalle County Station Units 1 and 2. As noted below, the UFSAR and NUREG-0519 required that the Unit 1, Division 1 and Unit 1, Division 2 Essential Switchgear Rooms be separated by a fire barrier having a 3-hour rating:

UFSAR Section H.3.4.14, Unit 1, Division 2 Essential Switchgear Room - Fire Zone 4E3,"

UFSAR Section H.3.4.16, Unit 1, Division 1 Essential Switchgear Room - Fire Zone 4F1, NUREG-0519 Section 9.5.2.1, Fire Barriers and Penetrations.

The missing bus duct seals between the Unit 1 and Unit 2, Division 1 and Division 2 Essential Switchgear Rooms were an example where the 3-hour fire barrier requirement of License Condition 25 for LaSalle Unit 1 and Unit 2 was not met and was a violation.

However, because of its low safety significance and because it was entered into the corrective action program, the USNRC is treating this issue as a Non-Cited Violation (NCV 50-373/0205-01(DRP); 50-374/0205-01(DRP)), in accordance with Section VI.A.1 of the USNRCs Enforcement Policy. The issue was entered into the licensees corrective action program as Condition Report (CR) 95253.

4OA2 Identification and Resolution of Problems

a. Inspection Scope

During this inspection, the inspectors reviewed corrective actions associated with the following Problem Identification Forms (PIFs) and Condition Reports (CRs) to verify the effectiveness of the licensees corrective actions:

  • PIF L2000-03778: Unsealed Penetrations in the Unit 1 Division 2 Essential Switchgear Rooms.
  • CR L2001-00350: Check Valves 1(2)E12-F445 Fail To Fully Seat Due to Scale and Debris Accumulation.

Attributes considered during the review of licensee actions to address the issues discussed above included the following:

  • Complete and accurate identification of the problem in a timely manner commensurate with its significance and ease of discovery.
  • Evaluations and disposition of performance issues associated with maintenance effectiveness.
  • Evaluation and disposition of reportability issues.
  • Consideration of extent of condition, generic implications, common cause, and previous occurrences.
  • Classification and prioritization of the resolution of the problem commensurate with its safety significance.
  • Identification of root cause and contributing causes of the problem.
  • Identification of corrective actions which are appropriately focused to correct the problem.
  • Completion of corrective actions in a timely manner commensurate with the safety significance of the issue.

b. Findings

PIF L2000-03778 Introduction One Non-Cited Violation of 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion XVI, Corrective Action, was identified for the failure to adequately address unsealed openings between the Unit 1 Division 1 and Unit 1 Division 2 Essential Switchgear Rooms.

Description During this inspection, the inspectors reviewed the licensees corrective actions to address two previously identified unsealed 2.75-inch diameter core holes between the Unit 1 Division 1 and Unit 1 Division 2 Essential Switchgear Rooms, one which the inspector identified on July 5, 2000 was documented in Problem Identification Form (PIF) L2000-03778, and another which was identified during subsequent licensee walkdowns and documented in PIF L2000-03839. These nonconformances compromised the 3-hour external fire rating between the Unit 1 Division 1 and Division 2 Essential Switchgear Rooms.

As part of the immediate corrective actions, the corebores were sealed on July 18, 2000, in accordance with site design drawings under Action Request (AR)990099133 and AR 990099442. In addition, an evaluation was conducted to demonstrate that with the degraded condition, the plant would be able to safely shutdown and maintain shutdown conditions with a postulated design basis fire in the Unit 1 Division 1 Essential Switchgear Room.

To address the extent of condition of the problem, a plan was developed which included walkdowns of both accessible and inaccessible areas of the auxiliary building. An accessible area was defined as an area that could be entered during power operations without challenging the operation of the plant, rendering a plant system or component inoperable, creating a personnel safety hazard, and or challenging As-Low-As-Reasonably-Achievable (ALARA) principles. Core holes located inside energized panels were considered inaccessible. A walkdown of accessible areas of the auxiliary building was completed. Subsequently, a decision was made to not perform a walkdown of inaccessible areas. This decision was based on the fact that all readily accessible core holes located in fire rated assemblies protecting areas containing safety-related equipment had been inspected which accounted for about 90 percent of all core holes installed and that only one additional unsealed opening had been discovered.

On January 16, 2002, Effectiveness Review Action Tracking Item 81976 was closed which documented that the corrective actions taken to address the unsealed corebores were effective to prevent recurrence.

As discussed in Section 1R05 of this report, during a routine walkdown of the Unit 1 Division 1 Essential Switchgear Room, the inspectors identified dried paint on the side of a bus duct which led to the identification of missing exterior bus duct seals. This compromised the 3-hour external fire rating between the Unit 1 Division 1 and Division 2 Switchgear Rooms.

During the extent of condition reviews of inaccessible areas directed as a result of the inspectors identification of the missing exterior bus duct seals, licensee personnel identified two open core holes which were not properly sealed. Both were in areas considered inaccessible during the initial review. Specifically, one was located in the rear of Essential Switchgear 242Y cubicle 10 (2B Residual Heat Removal pump). The second was located in the rear of Essential Switchgear 252 cubicle 7 (2B Reactor Recirculation pump). Both of these unsealed Unit 2 openings were in similar locations as the unsealed Unit 1 openings identified by the inspectors in July 2000.

Licensee personnel conducted a root cause investigation (AR 102054102054 to investigate the ineffective extent of condition reviews and ineffective corrective actions associated with the unsealed fire rated assembly openings that had been identified in July 2000.

The licensees root cause investigation identified a flawed decision making process that resulted in an insufficient extent of condition scope as the cause of all unsealed penetrations not being identified in 2000. In particular, the root cause report documented that because 1) two unsealed core holes associated with inaccessible areas had been found while only one unsealed core hole had been found in the accessible areas, 2) only 10 percent of core holes are in inaccessible areas, and 3) the inaccessible areas had not been inspected, it would be expected that unsealed core holes would have a higher probability of being located in inaccessible areas than accessible areas. All unsealed core holes discovered subsequent to the extent of condition review were found in inaccessible areas. The licensee concluded that, had the inaccessible areas not been excluded from the extent of condition review, it was likely that all of the unsealed core holes would have been discovered as part of the extent of condition walkdowns. The report documented that the root cause for the failure to identify the missing external fire seals earlier was the fact that these seals were inadvertently omitted from the periodic fire seal inspection conducted in accordance with LTS-1000-31, Inspection of Bus Duct Seals on Units 1 & 2.

The inspectors reviewed the subject root cause report, and conducted independent interviews and followup with licensee personnel. The following issues were identified:

  • Missed Opportunity to Identify Missing External Bus Duct Seals
  • Determination of Motor Control Center (MCC) Breaker Cubicle Accessibility The inspectors determined that licensee personnel had missed an opportunity to identify that the external fire seals were missing during their extent of condition review following the discovery of open core holes in July 2000. Specifically, had a comprehensive review of all fire barriers, including bus duct seals, that were designed to be sealed in accordance with design drawings been conducted in response to the July 2000 findings, the missing external seals could have been identified much earlier.

The inspectors reviewed the licensees determination that the MCC breaker cubicles were inaccessible and identified that this conclusion failed to include important technical input from the auxiliary power system engineer and was based on only limited input from operations and the fire protection system engineer. A conversation with the auxiliary power system engineer revealed that opening backpanels for breakers associated with 6.9 kilovolt (kV) and 4160 volt (V) switchgear would not incur any potential for a transient or scram and these areas were therefore accessible. The completion of maintenance activities to seal the open core holes in July 2000, which required that the MCC breaker cubicle panels associated with the open holes be opened, also supported this conclusion.

Analysis As discussed in Section 1R05, the inspectors assessed the issue utilizing the Significance Determination Process (SDP) as provided in Inspection Manual Chapter 0609, Appendix F, and the finding screened out as Green. The inspectors concluded that the licensees deferral of additional extent of conditions reviews was not appropriate and therefore the corrective action was inadequate.

Enforcement 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion XVI, Corrective Action, requires that measures be established to assure that conditions adverse to quality, such as defective material and equipment, and nonconformances are promptly identified and corrected. The failure to identify Unit 2 unsealed core holes as part of the corrective action to address unsealed core holes between the Unit 1 Division 1 and Unit 1 Division 2 Essential Switchgear Rooms identified on July 5, 2000 and documented in PIF L2000-03778 and PIF L2000-03839 was an example where the requirements of 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion XVI were not met and was a violation. However, because of its low safety significance and because it was entered into the corrective action program, the USNRC is treating this issue as a Non-Cited Violation (NCV 50-373/0205-02(DRP);50-374/0205-02(DRP)), in accordance with Section VI.A.1 of the USNRCs Enforcement Policy. The issue was entered into the licensees corrective action program as Condition Report (CR) 095253.

4OA3 Event Followup

.1 (Closed) Licensee Event Report (LER) 50-374/02-02, Revision 0: Loss of Voltage

Control on the 2B EDG [Emergency Diesel Generator] Due to Failure of the Voltage Regulator Range Potentiometer R3.

On May 30, 2002, during post-maintenance testing of the 2B EDG, the EDG operated normally for about 15 minutes, then reactive load began to vary erratically. The EDG was subsequently unloaded and shutdown. Licensee personnel conducted a root cause investigation and determined that a voltage regulator potentiometer had failed.

Since the EDG was out of service when the failure occurred and the EDG was restored to operable status within the Limiting Condition for Operation (LCO) Allowed Outage Time (AOT), the safety significance of the event was minimal.

This issue was entered into the licensees corrective action program as Action Tracking Item (ATI) 110032-17. This LER is closed.

4OA5 Other Activities

.1 Completion of Appendix A to TI 2515/148, Rev 1

Interim exits were conducted for:

  • Radiation Protection inspection with Mr. G. Barnes on August 9, 2002.
  • Safeguards inspection with Mr. G. Barnes on September 20, 2002.

4OA7 Licensee Identified Violations

The following violations of very low significance were identified by the licensee and are violations of USNRC requirements which meets the criteria of Section VI of the USNRC Enforcement Manual, NUREG-1600, for being dispositioned as NCVs.

Cornerstone: Mitigating Systems

Technical Specification Surveillance Requirement 3.8.1.6 requires that every 92 days each required fuel oil transfer system operates to automatically transfer fuel oil from storage tanks to the day tank. On August 12, 2002, licensee personnel identified that since May 2001, none of the automatic fuel oil transfer systems associated with the emergency diesel generators had been verified as required. This issue was entered into the licensees corrective action program as CR 00119063. Because the licensee was able to demonstrate that the fuel oil transfer system could satisfy the surveillance testing requirements following identification of the issue, this violation is not more than of very low safety significance, and is being treated as a Non-Cited Violation (50-373/0205-03(DRP); 50-374/0205-03(DRP)).

Technical Specification Surveillance Requirement 3.8.7.1 requires that correct breaker alignments and voltage to required alternating current (AC) and direct current (DC)electrical power distribution systems be verified every 7 days. On August 18, 2002, licensee personnel identified that the Unit 2 bus voltage for 480-volt safety-related bus 236Y had not been consistently verified every 7 days since March 17, 2002. This issue was entered into the licensees corrective action program as CR 00119654. Because the licensee was able to demonstrate that actual Unit 2 236Y bus voltage was adequate, this violation is not more than of very low safety significance, and is being treated as a Non-Cited Violation (50-374/0205-05(DRP)).

Cornerstone: Barrier Integrity

Technical Specification Surveillance Requirement 3.4.12.1 requires that reactor steam dome pressure be verified to be less than or equal to 1020 pounds per square inch gauge (psig) every 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br />. On August 16, 2002, licensee personnel identified that since July 25, 2002, Unit 2 steam dome pressure had only been verified every 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> instead of every 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br /> as required. This issue was entered into the licensees corrective action program as CR 00119654. Because the licensee was able to demonstrate that actual Unit 2 steam dome pressure never exceeded the 1020 psig requirement, this violation is not more than of very low safety significance, and is being treated as a Non-Cited Violation (50-374/0205-04(DRP)).
