i Inspection Scope (71707. 60710) l The inspectors conducted frequent observations of control room operations during the coastdown, shutdown, and cooldown activities. Special requirements for RCS temperature bands to support the requirements for axial shape index during coastdown 4 were reviewed. Procedures and surveillances required for entry into the RFO were reviewe ; Observations and Findinos On January 19,1999, the operators reduced power at the rate of approximately 1 percent per day. Boron concentration in the RCS had been reduced to minimal levels !

arvj a reduction in reactor power was required to maintain the RCS within the required temperature band. The . inspectors observed operator performance and plant response during this time. Both the primary and secondary plants responded well, with no ;

unexpected perturbations resulting from the reduced steam, feedwater, or heater drain l flows. No concerns were identifie On February 2, the inspectors identified a maintenance action item tag that was hung on the wrong train of the fuel pool cooling system. A work item related to a metallic sound coming from the Fuel Pool Cooling Pump B discharge check valve had been discussed during a licensee planning meeting. The residents performed an independent verification and found that the maintenance action item tag had been correctly written to

- appropriate component. The OperatioC Superintendent followed up by discussing, with all operations shift personnel, the importance of attention to detail and use c'

self-checking techniques during independent activitie On February 19, the plant was shut down to begin RFO 9. Reactor power was approximately 77 percent following the end of coastdown operations. Control room operators performed the shutdown in a controlled manner in accordance with the approved procedures and placed the plant in a condition to allow a subsequent cooldown. A dedicated shuown cooling system operator was stationed in the control

. room to place the plant on s itdown cooling and to continuously monitor plant conditions. The inspectors ( wrved portions of these operations and considered the actions to be appropriate anc . 3rvativ Conclusions The performance of the operations staff associated with coastdown of reactor power prior to a scheduled RFO and subsequent plant shutdown and cooldown were conducted appropriately and conservativel .3 RCS Draindown.

The inspectors reviewed the applicable procedures and observed portions of the -

'draindown of the RCS and establishment of midloop operation. Operations at midloop were monitored on a continuous basis. Preparations for RCS draindown, midloop, and shutdown cooling, including time-to-boil calculations, were reviewed and assesse Also, the inspectors observed the RCS fill operation to greater than 5 percent pressurizer leve Observations and Findinas

. On February 22,1999, the inspectors observed preparations for draindown to midloop and reviewed the draindown Operating Procedure OP-001-003, " Reactor Coolant System Draindown," Revision 18. The inspectors attended the crew briefing conducted l

- prior to the draindown evolution, The briefing was detailed and it was evident that the crew had previously trained on execution of the procedure. Specific assignments were i discucsed with the control room supervisor. The briefing and operations involvement were very good.~

' On February 23, the operators commenced draining the RCS to midloop to allow steam generator nozzle dam installation, shutdown cooling system valve work, and pressurizer heater assembly replacement. The draindown operation was conducted, as specified by I

E

All level indications tracked within the required tolerance as level decreased. Level was stabilized and maintained within a band of 13.75 to 14.00 fee ~

The inspectors monitored and observed the licensee's activities on a continuous basis during draindown and midloop operation. _ The conduct of operations and control of other work activities were observed. Control room operators demonstrated a good -

awareness of plant conditions and work in progress. Access by nonoperations personnel to the control room was carefully controlled during the period of reduced inventory operations.' Contingency plans were established and implemented to protect electrical Train B and Trains A and B of the shutdown cooling system. Other work in progress at this time included preventive maintenance on EDG A and replacement of the Train B SUT. The inspectors considered the actions of the operators during this time to be comprehensive and effective in maintaining the plant in a safe conditio On February 25, the operators commenced filling the RCS to a band of 18.5 to 19.5 feet. At this level, work continued on several valves and the pressurizer heater The dedicated shutdown cooling watch in the control room was maintained to monitor shutdown cooling system operation. The RCS was maintained at this level until-February 27, when level was increased to greater than 5 percent in the pressurizer. The dedicated shutdown cooling system watch was discontinued at that time. The inspectors observed plant operators and considered the control of the plant during these times to be in accordance with procedures and expectation .

The crew briefing and operations involvement were very good. Independent level indications were utilizes v required. Operations to fill the RCS to greater than -

5 percent in the pressurizer were in accordance with procedures and expectations.- Conclusions The operators' actions to drain the ROS and place the plant in midloop conditions were comprehensive and effective in maintaining the plant in a safe condition.

The inspectors reviewed the licensee's actions and observed the extent of damages caused by numerous loose barges on the Mississippi Rive ,

.-

.

-4- Observations and Findinas On February 12,1999, at 3:38 a.m., a report was received in the control room, from security personnel at the circulating water intake structure, that indicated a noise was heard that sounded like barges striking the intake structure. At 3:40 a.m., the St. Charles Parish Emergency Operations Center reported to the control room that up to 100 barges (the number was later found to be in excess of 200) had broken loose upstream and that Waterford could start seeing barges soon. An auxiliary operator was dispatched to the intake structure and reported 12 barges headed for the intake structure and a large number of barges headed for the discharge structure. In addition, the operator reported that barges were trapped between the dolphins (a pylon located a short distance in front of the structure to protect the structure from damage) and the intake structure. It was noted that some damaga had be'en identified on several dolphins at both the intake and discharge structure The inspectors observed the situation at both the intake and discharge structures as daylight allowed a more detailed inspection. A total of five barges had been trapped between the intake structure and the dolphins, with one hung up on the weir. No barges were trapped near the discharge structure. Damage appeared to be limited to the dolphins. The contents of the barges were identified as grain products and were not considered dangerous. The plant circulating water system functioned as required for continued operation of the facility. The licensee reacted appropriately by monitoring the situation closely and was prepared to shut down the plant in the event of severe damage to plant system Later in the day, the U.S. Coast Guard and shipping company employees secured the barges near the intake structure and formulated a plan to remove them at the earliest opportunity. The barges were removed within the next 2 days and a detailed inspection of the intake and discharge structures indicated no substantial damage with the exception of the dolphin Conclusions The licensee's actions regarding a series of loose barges on the river was appropriat Damage from the barges striking the circulating water intake and discharge structures l

was limited to the dolphins, which were designed to protect these structures during this type of event.

5-11. Maintenance M1 Conduct of Maintenance (61726,62707)

The inspectors observed all or portions of the following maintenance and surveillance activities as specified by the referenced Work Authorization (WA) or surveillance procedures:

  • OP-903-110 RAB Fluid Systems Leak Test

- STA-001-006 Leak Rate Testing

  • STA-001-004 Local Leak Rate Test, Penetration 33
  • WA 01167405 Inspect and Replace Permanently Lubricated Bushings and Washers on Both Ends of the Terry Turbine Governor Valve Lever
  • WA 01160313 SUT B Replacement j in general, the inspectors considered the observed work activities to have been performed in an acceptable and effective manner. The technicians were knowledgeable and conducted the work, as required by the applicable procedures. Appropriate support personnel, including health physics, quality control, and supervisory personnel, were at the work site when require The inspectors conducted frequent tours of the facility to assess plant conditions related to work in progress. General conditions were found to be good with limited clutter and ongoing efforts to maintain the plant cleanliness. The inspectors toured the containment i building and determined that some areas did not appear to have adequate lighting to '

allow safe and effective work practices. These areas included the lower sections of the l steam generators and the reactor coolant pump motor areas. TN inspectors identified I this to the licensee and additional lighting was installed in these areas. Subsequent tours by the inspectors revealed a much improved lighting condition in these area M1,1 EDG 5-Year Preventive Maintenance Activities Inspection Scoce (62707)

b The inspectors observed the licensee's activities during the performance of the 5-year preventive maintenance program on EDG A. These preventive maintenance activities included partial disassembly of the engino and generator and inspection of internal portions of the component I'

..

6- Observations and Findinas On February 22,1999, the licensee performed a premaintenance run of EDG A in preparation for the scheduled 5-year preventive maintenance activities. The EDG was

' then tagged out and work commenced to partially disassemble the engine and generator to inspect the internal components and assess the overall condition of the EDG. Access to the EDG A room was made easier by devitalizing the area and providing access by authorized personnel via the protected area yard. This mt de bringing tools, parts, and supplies into the area easier and more convenien Parts removed from the EDG were appropriately marked and tracked for reassembl Foreign material exclusion controls were in place and utilized when critical components were open for access to perform work or inspection activities. Surfaces were cleaned in preparation for detailed inspection and replacement of gasket material. The lube oil sump was pumped out to allow inspection of the crankcase are The inspectors observed this work in progress and concluded that it was well coordinated and conducted, as required by the applicable procedures. The inspectors did note that the bottom of the lube oil sump showed signs of damage to the pirted surfaces. The paint _was chipped off in places, but no signs of flaking paint were observed. - The inspectors questioned the system engineer at the work site to determine if this presented any concems for operability. The engineer responded that this damage had occurred during past maintenance activities on the engine and that no concerns had been identified since any paint that did flake off would be picked up by the strainers and filters located in the lube oil system before they could be transported to the critical

. portions of the engine. In addition, this area of the engine would not be expected to be subject to corrosion due to the presence of tube oil. The inspectors concluded that this condition would not adversely affect the EDG operabilit As part of these preventive maintenance activities, an inspection of all 16 combustion chambers was perfo.rmed using a remote TV camera and light instrument. A video tape was made of these inspections, which primarily were concerned with the intake and

- exhaust valve condition and the condition of the cylinder head. The inspectors observed these inspections in progress and viewed the video tape. The condition of these areas appeared to be good. In addition, the licensee performed a visual inspection of the

~ cylinder walls using a small scope. No areas of concern were note j

7-M1.2 SUT B heolacement Insoection Scope (71707. 62707)

The inspectors observed portions of the SUT B replacement activities to verify compliance with WA 01160313 and commitments to safety during midloop operations, Observetions and Findinas The inspectors periodically observed personnel working on SUT B to ensure that safe work practices around the SUT were maintained. Equipment and tools that were not in use were collected and overhead connections were tied off. Personnel on scaffolding were secured with safety belts and protective clothing was in use when required. The work area was cordoned off from the rest of the switchyard by the use of barrier tap Vehicle access to the roadway adjacent to the work area was also restricted with the use of barrier tape. No unauthorized personnel were observed by the inspectors in the sequestered area of the switchyard during the work to replace the SU On February 23,1999, while the reactor was at midloop operations, the inspectors observed disassembly of the SUT E> Calvert ducts using WA 99100012. A crano was used to lift a section of the Calvert bus enclosure from above the transformer. The sheet metal structure was about 12 feet long by 2 feet wide and weighed about 150 pounds. The workers failed to attach a tag line to help stabilize the load. When the duct was lifted high enough to clear SUT B and the other Calvert duct (about 40 feet in the air), wind gust caused the load to swing uncontrollably. The inspectors were concerned that the duct could have caused damage to surrounding electrical equipment or cause a power loss, which could have affected midioop operations. The inspectors discussed the activity with the supervisors providing oversight for the crane crew. The activity was stopped and the crew was counseled on appropriate lift techniques prior to resuming the work. The inspectors notified the shift superintendent. Condition Report (CR) 99-0194 was alsu writte Conclusions With the exception of the failure to control a lift of the Calvert duct during midloop operation, replacement of SUT B was well controlle M1.3 Reactor Auxiliary Buildino Fluid System Leak Test Inspection Scope (61726)

The numbers were 50-382/9705-02 and 50-382/9705-0 Closing this violation closes both number The licensee initiated four CRs to document each of the exarnples of failure to control welding activitie In response to this violation, the licensee identified both specific and generic corrective actions for each of the four examples. Specific corrective actions included revising Administrative Procedures MM-001-053,"Contrcl of Welding Consumables";

MM-001-050, " General Welding Requirements"; MD-001-012, " Tool Control"; and MM-001-054," Control and Documentation of Welding." Maintenance Directive 7,

" Guidance for Conducting Pre-Job Briefings," was also revised. To address the broader implications of this violation, the licensee planned to conduct additional training for welders, tool room attendants, and quality assurance welding inspectors. All maintenance personnel were briefed by the maintenance manager concerning the need for positive component identification, the use of the STAR (Stop, Think, Act and Review)

process, and the importance of a complete job turnover. The inspectors reviewed the corrective actions for each issue and found them to be acceptabl M8.2 (Closed) Inspection Followuo item (IFI) 50-382/9707-01: Unauthorized control room panel symbol Main control room panel placards displayed incorrect information regarding the input signals needed for automatic closure of two containment isolation valve The licensee corrected the indicated signal inputs on the control room panel for automatic Containment isolation Valves CVR-400 and -401, in addition, the licensee reviewed the remaining control board symbols and did not identify any additional discrepancies.

deficiencie j The licensee determined that the reason for the design deficiency was that design controls did not ensure that field-routed, safety-related conduit was protected against design-basis tornados. The licensee performed walkdowns to identify other missile vulnerable safety-related equipment, implemented modifications to relocate exposed conduits '.o areas that provide missile protection, and implemented Revision 5 to Drawing LOU-1564-B-288 SH.21 A-1. This procedure revision added a note requiring design personnel to review new cable and conduit installations for tornado effect and tornado-generated missile loading. In addition, during a review of the design and licensing basis of tornado missile protection, the licensee identified a potential common-mode failure of the safety-related SUPS. This issue was reported to the NRC 1 in Licensee Event Report (LER) 97-020-00, dated July 3,1997, and is discussed in Section E8.5 of this repor The inspectors reviewed the licensee's operability determination for the six valves found with incorrect settings and found it to be acceptable.

Plant operators were trained to understand the situations under which the SUPS could lose power and the actions that might be necessary to realign safety-related load As a permanent solution to the problem, the licensee will modify the Train B SUPS, as specified in Design Change DC-3546, with a new unit that will provide a current limiting feature that would prevent most of the postulated faults from causing a momentary loss of power to the unit. However, control room / cable vault area faults that would deliver higher current levels could still result in a momentary loss of power to the SUPS or a voltage degradation problem. To address this vulnerability, the licensee revised procedures to require the operators to isolate all nonessential unprotected loads receiving power from the Train B SUPS. These procedure changes willintroduce an extra 2 minutes in operator actions for a control room fire, but this was still well within the time profile for design basis safe shutdown actions. In plant areas other than the control room / cable vault, the licensee will reroute and fire wrap cables for configurations that are not rescIved by the SUPS modification. The final result of these actions will be to establish Train B as the protected train of the SUPS. All of these actions are scheduled to be completed during the RFO scheduled to begin on February 19,199 Based on discussions and review of plant documents, the inspectors determined that the modifications and procedure changes would satisfactorily address the identified vulnerabilit )

The inspectors identified this issue as a violation of License Condition C.9," Fire Protection," for the failure to have operable 1-hour fire barriers in place for redundant affected circuits routed through the same fire area. This Severity Level IV violation is being treated as a noncited violation, consistent with Appendix C of the NRC Enforcement Policy. This violation is in the licensee's corrective action program as CR 97-0157 (50-382/9902-01).

Conclusions A violation of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix R, Section Ill.G.2.c, was identified for the failure to W operable fire barriers in piace to protect redundant trains of SUPS. This Seveniy Level IV violation is being issued as a noncited violation per the guidance ,

-14-The licensee revised Calculations MN(0)-6-4, " Water Levels inside Containment,"

Revision 1, and MN(O)-6-27,"NPSH Calculation for HPSI and CS Pumps During Recirculation," Revision 3, to more accurately assess the NPSH available to the CS and HPSI pumps during the recirculation phase of a LOCA. Licensing Document Change Request LDCR 97-0212 was processed on July 29,1998, to revise UFSAR Sections 6.2.2.3.2.1, "NPSH Calculations"; 6.3.2.2.2.3, " Net Positive Suction Head"; and Table 6.2-22," Design Data for Containment Spray System Components." After these revisions, the design calculations and UFSAR were consistent. The licensee also updated the applicable design basis document Safety Evaluation 98-046 was performed to address the 10 CFR 50.59 implications of the UFSAR changes. This evaluation concluded that an unreviewed safety question did ,

not exist. The inspectors noted that no physical changes were made to the plant, but l

'

that the calculated minimum available NPSH margins for the CS and HPSI pumps had decreased significantly (94.8 to 36.78 percent for CS and 40.8 to 8.86 percent for HPSI). However, the NPSH margin was not defined in the bases of the TS or the safety analyses. Since a positive NPSH tc.argin still existed for all pumps (including consideration of vortexing), the assumed flow rates were not affected and no TS bases or safety analysis parameters related to 99 performance of these pumps was affecte The inspectors considered the UFSAR errors discussed above to be a violation of 10 CFR 50.71(e). This Severity Level IV violation is being treated as a noncited violation, consistent with Appendix C of the NRC Enforcement Policy. This violation is in the licensee's corrective action program as CR 97-0806 (50-382/9902-02).

E8.7 / Closed) URI 50-382/9725-02: Inadequate containment flooding calculations and nonqualified equipmen The licensee identified and corrected errors in a containment flooding calculation and discovered thal the new maximum flooding level would cause submergence of the cooling coils of a containment fan cooler and three safe shutdown instruments that nad not been qualified for submergence. As a short-term measure to alleviate the flooding concern, the licensee administratively reduced the refueling water storage pool (RWSP)

LOCA)," Revision 4, on September 3,1998, to more precisely determine the post-LOCA flooding levels in containment. The new levels identified in the calculation required the application of a more restrictive limit on the maximum RWSP level (87 percent). At this RWSP level, taking into account instrument uncenainties, no safe shutdown instruments were calculated to be submerged or adversely affected durirg a LOCA. The cooling

-15-l coils of some containment fan coolers could become partially submerged, but this would have a negligible effect on the overall performance of this system (approximately a 0.15 psig difference in peak containment pressure). The 10 CFR 50.59 safety evaluation for Calculation EC-M89-004 concluded that an unreviewed safety question did not exist. The inspectors agreed with this conclusio The inspectors observed that the current operating band of the RWSP was only 83-87 percent of the indicated level. The licensee stated that efforts were underway to raise the elevation of the affected instruments in containment to allow use of the full .

volume of the RWSP. This modification was tentatively planned for the RFO scheduled for September 200 Based on the revised calculation and its accompanying safety evaluation, along with the ]

current RWSP level operating limits, the inspectors considered the current containment i flooding situation to be satisfactory. However, it appeared that past operability or adherence to Regulatory Guide 1.97," Instrumentation for Light-Water-Cooled Nuclear Power Plants to Assess Plant and Environs Conditions During and Following an l Accident," Revision 2, particularly at times that the RWSP was at or near full level, was i questionable. The principalinstruments of concern were the steam generator l wide-range level instruments, since no backup instruments existed. These instruments supply an input to the emergency feedwater (EFW) system flow logic. EFW is not l required for a large break LOCA, which floods containment in a short period of tim EFW is required for a small break LOCA, but the time to reach maximum flooding levels is much greater. By the time the wide-range instrument would be flooded, the steam generator levels would be in the narrow range, where operators could establish manual control as prescribed by the emergency operating procedures. The narrow-range instruments would not be affected by the postulated flood water Based on this, the licensee concluded that the submergence of the wide-range instruments would have had no effect on me outcome of the accident analysis. All other instruments affected by potential flooding conditions had bachp instruments capable of providing the required parameters during accident conditions. Based on these facts, the I licensee determined that this condition was not reportabl !

The inspectors considered the inadequate design calculations that permitted the potential exposure of safe shutdown equipment to an unqualified submergence condition to be a violation of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion ill," Design Control."

-16-Conclusions A violation of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion l!I, " Design Control," was identified for the failure to perform adequate calculations to ensure that environmentally sensitive equipment in the containment Duilding would be adequately protected from submergence during a LOCA. This Severity Level lV violation is being issued as a noncited violation per the guidance provided in Appendix C of the Enforcement Polic E8.8 (Closed 1 LER 97-032-00 and -01: Hydrogen Recombiner Analyzer System Containment Isolation Valves Did Not Meet Geraral Design Criterion 5 On November 25,1997, while evaluating a related issue reported in LER 97-031-00, the licensee found that the hydrogen recombiner analyzer system containment isolation valves did not meet the redundancy requirement of General Design Criterion 54, " Piping Systems Penetrating Containment."

The hydrogen recombiner analyzer system consists of two trains, each of which draw and return containment air samples through Penetrations 66 and 67, respectively. The two sample supply lines each have solenoid-operated inboard valves (HRA 109A and-1098) and solenoid-operated outboard valves (HRA-110A and -1108) for containment isolation. The two return lines each have solenoid-operated outboard containment isolation valves (HRA-126A and -1268) and check valves (HRA-128A and -1288) for inboard containment isolation. Hydrogen recombiner analyzer system Containment isolation Valves HRA-109A, -1098, -126A, and -126 B were classified in the UFSAR as automatic containment isolation valves and were maintained normally closed. As such, they are required by General Design Criteria 54 to be designed to have redundant power source The licensee determ;.1ed that, because all valves in the same train are powered through the same relay, a single failure of that relay at the same time the valves are open for testing would prevent all valves in that train from closing upon a containme.it isolation signal. As immediate corrective action, on November 26,1997, the licensee removed power from the outboard containment isolation valves (HRA-110A and-110B) and declared them inoperable. Because the valves share the same power source, this also I I

rendered hydrogen recombiner analyzer system containment isolation valves HRA-101 A, -109B, -126A, and -126B inoperable, which resulted in both hydrogen i analyzers being declared inoperable. On November 28, the licensee reclassified l automatic hydrogen recombiner analyzer system containment isolation Valves j HRA-109A, -1098, -110A, -1108, -126A, and -126B as manual / remote manual,  !

locked-closed containment isolation valves, thus eliminating the single failure vulnerability. The licensee then declar?d the hydrogen recombiner analyzer system containment isolation Valves HRA-101 A, -1098, -126A, and -126B and the hydrogen 4

This letter stated that reclassification of the hydrogen recombiner analyzer system containment isolation valves did not involve an unreviewed safety question. The inspectors reviewed the licensee's corrective actions to the event, the 10 CFR 50.59 safety evaluation, and proposed changes to the UFSAR and found them to be adequat E8.9 (Closed) LER 50-382/98-003-00: Inoperable Hydrogen Analyzer Due to Undersized Thermal Overload The licensee identified that the sample pump overloads for Hydrogen Analyzers A and B were undersized, rendering both analyzers inopcrable for a period exceeding the allowed outage time specified in TS 3.6. The undersized overloads had been installed since June 1988. Although the thermal overloads were undersized, engineering determined that the analyzers would have functioned in an accident, meaning the inoperability determination was conservativ Had the analyzers not functioned, the emergency operating procedures would have had the operators start the hydrogen recombiners or the containment atmosphere release system, thereby maintaining hydrogen concentrations at safe levels. Therefore, the overall safety significance was lo In response, the licensee replaced the hydrogen analyzer heater overloads with properly cized units. The licensee performed a walkdown of a sample of safety-related motors and their overicads, a task that involved approximately 100 motors. From the sample, two inconsistencies were identified. The control room air handling unit motor (HVCEMTR311 A/4F) had slightly oversized heater overloads, possibly because of nuisance tripping during startup testing. The incorrectly sized overloads were replace The second inconsistency involved two EDG A and B air compressor motors that had slightly undersized heater overloads, which were also replaced. Neither inconsistency involved an operability proble The failure to meet the requirements of TS 3.6.4.1 was identified as a violation. This Severity Level IV violation is being treated as a noncited violation, consistent with Appendix C of the NRC Enforcement Policy. This violation is in the licensee's corrective action program as CR 98-0291 (50-382/9902-04).

Conclusions A violation of Technical Specification 3.6.4.1 was identified for failure to meet the appropriate action statement following an extended period when both hydrogen

-18-Having discovered that the maximum expected differeritial pressure (MEDP) was greater than previously assumed, the licensee determined that both nitrogen accumulators, which service each feedwater isolation valve, must de in service for the valve to be operabl TS 3.6.3 requires each containment isolation valve to be operable. Previously, the licensee had assumed an MEDP of 1400 psig for the fradwater isolation valves, which allowed the feedwater isolation valves to be operable with only one nitrogen accumulator in service. Therefore, the 4-hour limiting condition for operations (LCO) for TS 3. was not entered during times that only one accumulator was inoperable. As a result of further investigation, the licensee determined that the correct MEDP was 1581 psig. At this differential pressure, the feedwater isolation valves would require both accumulators to be operable to perform its design function to close. As a result, the licensee implemented an administrative control to Operations Procedure OP-100-014. " Technical Specification and Technical Requirements Compliance," Revision 9, requiring entry into TS 3.6.3 should a feedwater isolation valve hydraulic accumulator be declared l

inoperable. The inspectors reviewed Procedure OP-100-014 and verified that the '

administrative control was in plac The licensee's investigation of the event revealed that maintenance work to restore an accumulator to service could have been completed within about 3 hours3.472222e-5 days <br />8.333333e-4 hours <br />4.960317e-6 weeks <br />1.1415e-6 months <br /> and, thus, would not have exceeded tne 4-hour LCO; however, without the LCO identified, it was very likely that on some occasions the 4-hour LCO period was exceeded. On this basis,

~t he licensee issued this L.2R for failure to meet TS 3. The licensee's failure to enter TS 3.6.3 for past hydraulic accumulator outages that exceeded the 4-hour LCO period was identified as a violation. This Severity Level IV violation is being treated as a noncited violation, consistent with Appendix C of the NRC Enforcement Policy. This violation is in the licensee's corrective action program as :

CR 98-0337 (50-382/9902-05).

The inspectors also observed vehicle searches being conducted by security officers at the primary access portal. A large crane and a flatbed trailer carrying air conditioning l equipment were observed. The snrches were conducted using Procedure PS-011-103," Vehicle Access Control," Revision 9. All requirements of this procedure were adequately addressed. However, the inspectors did note that the security officers conducting the searches did not use any flashlights or other form of lighting to illuminate darker areas, such as engine compartments. In addition, the primary method used by the security force to conduct the search of the top portion of irregularly shaped vehicles, such as the crane and the air conditioning equipment, was to use a remote controlled camera mounted on a pole located just east of the vehicle search area. The inspectors considered the searches to be adequate but that they could be enhanced by the use of better lightin Conclusions Personnel and vehicle searches conducted at the primary access portal were performed in accordance with applicable procedures.
