I.
QUALITY ASSURANCE PROGRAM
Q.1.1 Identification and Resolution of Construction Problems (Inspection Procedure 35007)
a. Inspection Scope
The inspectors continued to review problem evaluation reports (PERs), as part of the applicant's corrective action program, to verify that issues being identified under the corrective action program were being properly identified, addressed, and resolved by the applicant.
The inspectors also specifically reviewed and followed up on the corrective actions of several PERs discussed throughout this report.
b. Observations and Findings
No findings were identified.
c. Conclusions
The issues identified in the PERs reviewed were adequately identified, addressed, and resolved.
II. MANAGEMENT OVERSIGHT AND CONTROLS C.1 Construction Activities C.1.1 Unit 1 and Unit 2 Construction Activity Interface Controls
a. Inspection Scope
The inspectors independently assessed applicant controls, associated with Unit 2 construction work activities, to prevent adverse impact on Unit 1 operational safety. The inspectors attended routine Unit 1/Unit 2 interface meetings to assess the exchange and sharing of information between the two site organizations. Periodic construction and planning meetings were observed, at least once per week, to assess the adequacy of the applicant's efforts to identify those construction activities that could potentially impact the operating unit. This included the review of select work activities, which the applicant had screened as not affecting Unit 1, to verify the adequacy of that screening effort.
Additionally, the inspectors independently assessed select construction activities to verify that potential impacts on the operating unit had been identified and adequately 6 characterized with appropriate management strategies planned for implementation. Furthermore, the inspectors performed independent walkdowns of select construction work locations to verify that controls to protect the operating unit provided an adequate level of protection and had been properly implemented.
Specific work activities observed included work associated with:
- WO 111735249, Auxiliary Building Refuel Floor Crane Lifts
- WO 115447949, System 070 Component Cooling System, 2-PTI 2A, Component Cooling System Unit 2 Train A Flow Balance Specific work activities that the applicant had screened out as not affecting Unit 1 included, but were not limited to work activities as noted in this inspection report.
b. Observations and Findings
No findings were identified.
c. Conclusions
Overall, management oversight and controls were in place for observed construction activities that could potentially impact the operating.
C.1.2 As-built Cable Terminations (Inspection Procedures 51063 and 37051)
a. Inspection Scope
The inspectors observed the termination and inspected the as-built terminations of cables 2PP662B (auxiliary feedwater pump B) and 2PP650A (auxiliary feedwater pump A). The inspectors verified location, cable types, cable identification, cable bend radius, and the creation of the terminations for 2PP622B at the motor and panel. The inspectors also verified location, cable types, cable identification for the termination of 2PP650A at the motor and panel, and verified that the terminations were in accordance with design drawings.
The inspectors also observed the terminations of cables 2V4011B and 2V4029B at both termination points. The inspectors verified location, cable types, cable identification, and bend radius, and verified that the terminations were in accordance with design drawings.
The inspectors observed the terminations of cable 2V4943 at motor control center 2-MCC B2/2A-B and the PNL 276-L222/A. The inspectors also observed the splicing of the cable at junction box 20JB 8573-B. The inspectors verified location, cable types, cable identification, and bend radius, and verified that the terminations were in accordance with design drawings. Documents reviewed are listed in the Attachment. b. Observation and Findings No findings were identified.
7
c. Conclusions
The cables were terminated in accordance with design drawings.
C.1.3 Raceway Walkdowns (Inspection Procedures 51063, 51053, and 37051)
a. Inspection Scope
The inspectors performed as-built walkdowns of Class 1E cable trays with raceway identification numbers 4A 1924:1949 and 4A 1936:1950, which were located in the reactor building. The inspectors verified that the drawings matched the as-built condition by examining the physical location and routing, the location of supports, the physical separation and isolation, the tray loading (ampacity, thermal, and mass), and identification. Additionally, the inspectors reviewed applicant documents to support the as-built verification. The documents reviewed included calculations, drawings, procedures, and specifications.
The following samples were inspected:
- IP 51063 Section 02.03.a - 2 samples
- IP 51053 Section 02.02.f - 2 samples
- IP 37051 Section 02.01.b.2 - 2 samples Documents reviewed are listed in the Attachment.
b. Observations and Findings
No findings were identified. c. Conclusion The inspectors concluded that the raceways were adequately installed.
C.1.4 Reactor Vessel and Internals Work Observation (Inspection Procedure 50053)
a. Inspection Scope
The inspectors continued to monitor in-place storage of the reactor pressure vessel.
The reactor pressure vessel, internals, core barrel, and reactor head were assembled during the third quarter of 2014; therefore, in-place and installed storage inspections of these components were limited as recommended by IP 50053 and could not be accomplished in their entirety due to the inaccessibility of the reactor pressure vessel components during this time. However, the inspectors did verify access controls to assure only authorized entry of tools, equipment, and personnel; and verified cleanliness requirements were being met. b. Observation and Findings No findings were identified.
8 c. Conclusion Quarterly inspection of the reactor pressure vessel storage was limited due to inaccessibility as a result of the components having been assembled. For the areas inspected, adequate controls were in place to protect the exterior portions of the reactor vessel. C.1.5 Piping - Work Observations (Inspection Procedure 49063)
a. Inspection Scope
The inspectors reviewed the engineering evaluation associated with PERs 763877 and 823432; and interviewed cognizant personnel to verify the cleanliness evaluation and the use of a gravity drain flush for the containment spray system and residual heat removal system spray header was acceptable in accordance with TVA procedure N3M-938, "Cleaning and Cleanliness of Fluid System Components." The inspectors also verified that flushing activities met the intent of American National Standards Institute (ANSI)
N45.2.1, "Cleaning of Fluid Systems and Associated Components During Construction Phase of Nuclear Power Plants," 1973.
Documents reviewed are listed in the Attachment. b. Observation and Findings No findings were identified.
c. Conclusions
The inspectors concluded that clean plans were being implemented adequately and issues with cleanliness were evaluated and dispositioned in accordance with engineering and ANSI standards. C.1.6 (Closed) Electrical Components and Systems - Work Observation (Inspection Procedure 51053)
a. Inspection Scope
Background: As described in IMC 2517, TVA addressed WBN Unit 1 construction quality issues as part of the implementation of its nuclear performance plan (NPP). The results of the NRC inspection program were published in NUREG-1528, "Reconstitution of the IMC 2512 Construction Inspection Program for Watts Bar Unit 1." In 1985, construction on Watts Bar Unit 1 and Watts Bar Unit 2 was stopped due to the identification of multiple construction QA issues. TVA completed Unit 1 in 1995 but had conducted very little Unit 2-specific work since 1985. In 2007, TVA decided to finish the Unit 2 plant. As part of confirming that all issues and inspection requirements would be completed for Unit 2, a review of all NRC inspection reports was initiated to determine the status of the required IPs, contained in NRC IMC 2512, in effect at the time construction was stopped. This effort was called the reconstitution process. The NRC used the results of the reconstitution process to identify areas which require additional inspections. IIR 05000391/2009602 (ADAMS Accession No. ML091210420),
2, documented the reconstitution results for IP 51053 and determined that the requirements of the IP were not fully met for Unit 2 and that further inspections were 9 warranted. IIR 05000391/2009602, Attachment 2, specifically documented that Section 02.01.b, Raceway Systems (2.02.a and 2.02.b portions); Section 2.01.e, Distribution, Control, and Protective Apparatus (2.02.e, f, and g portions); and Section 2.01.f, Other Electrical Components (2.02.f portion) should be performed. Section 2.01.c Emergency Diesel Generator and Section 2.01.d DC systems were excluded from review since these systems had been previously inspected prior to 2008, were turned over to Unit 1 control, and therefore inspected as part of the ongoing baseline inspection program for Unit 1. Inspection Activities: The purpose of this IP was to verify, by direct observation and independent evaluation of work performance, work in progress, and completed work, that activities relative to safety-related electrical systems and components were controlled and accomplished in accordance with NRC requirements, safety analysis report (SAR) commitments, and applicant procedures. This IP included receiving inspections, storage, handling, in-process installation, completed work, as-built verification, and construction testing, as applicable. This IP applied to safety-related electrical equipment such as: raceways, raceway hangers and other supports, switchgear, motor control centers, transformers, batteries and racks, battery chargers, inverters, motor-generator sets, electrical penetration assemblies, motors, electric valve operators, local cabinets, limit switches, solenoid valves, and protective devices.
In this report period the inspectors performed as-built walkdowns of pressurizer power-operated relief valve (PORV) block valves 2-FCV68 A and 2-FCV 332-B and an as-built walkdown of the charging flow isolation valve 2-FCV 0091-B. The valves inspected were motor-operated valves. The inspectors compared construction installation drawings and associated installation documentation against the actual installation of the components. The inspectors performed this comparison to determine whether components, shown on the drawing, were of the type specified and whether they had been installed, located, oriented, supported, and protected in accordance with the drawings.
The inspectors verified the status of design changes on the selected drawings to determine whether the applicant properly controlled and documented changes for engineering review, approval, and subsequent incorporation into the as-built drawings.
Documents reviewed are listed in the Attachment. The following samples were inspected:
- IP 51053 Section 02.02.f - 3 samples (Other Electrical Components) The following tables list the inspections that were performed under this IP and documented in earlier inspection reports. The inspections are grouped by the different subsections in 02.01 of the IP (Raceway Systems; Distribution, Control, and Protective Apparatus; and Other Electrical Components).

C.1.7 Environmental Inspection-Periodic (Inspection Procedure 80210)
a. Inspection Scope
The inspectors performed a periodic inspection of the environmental activities associated with WBN Unit 2. The inspection consisted of walkdowns of various structures and areas, and documentation review. The inspectors discussed the requirements imposed by the National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permits on Unit 1 which cover the activities on Unit 2. The inspectors performed a documentation review of the Tennessee NPDES permits which were the inspection basis documents. The review encompassed the annual non-radiological environmental operation reports for the years 2013 and 2014, and various process and procedure documents that constituted the environmental program. The inspectors performed walkdowns of various site areas both inside and outside of the protected area. These walkdowns included the areas associated with fuel oil and chemical handling inside the protected area and areas associated with waste water treatment and holdup such as yard ponds.
Documents reviewed are listed in the Attachment.
13
b. Observations and Findings
No findings were identified. The detailed written directives and procedures adequately documented the environmental program requirements. The program had clearly identified roles and responsibilities. There was sufficient audit and assessment activity to establish that the supporting laboratories were appropriately responsive to the customers' needs. The QA plans provided appropriate surveillance of the environmental program, and an appropriate sensitivity to environmental requirements such as markings for waste oil, asbestos, and general waste containers. The applicant has decentralized some responsibilities and is actively seeking to increase the environmental awareness and training level of the site personnel.
c. Conclusion The inspectors concluded that the environmental programs required for Unit 2 construction activities were properly implemented. There is no evidence of erosion, excessive runoff, or oil contamination in waste water.
P.1 Preoperational Activities P.1.1 Preoperational Test Program Implementation Verification (Inspection Procedure 71302)
a. Inspection Scope
02.01 (Weekly Inspection Activities): The inspectors verified that the applicant's management control system was effectively discharging its responsibilities over the preoperational testing program by direct observation of activities, tours of the facility, interviews and discussions with the applicant's personnel, and reviewing facility records. Preoperational testing activities during the inspection period included the following safety-related systems or portions thereof:
- System 070 - Component Cooling System
- System 063 - Safety Injection System
- System 074 - Residual Heat Removal System As systems became available for preoperational testing, inspectors toured the accessible areas of the facility to make an independent assessment of equipment conditions, plant conditions, security, and adherence to regulatory requirements. Inspectors also verified the following, as available and on a sampling basis, during the tours:
- general plant/equipment conditions;
- plant areas for fire hazards - examined fire alarms, extinguishing equipment, actuating controls, firefighting equipment, and emergency equipment for operability and also verified that ignition sources and flammable material were being controlled in accordance with applicant's procedures (further discussed in Section F.1.1);
14
- activities in progress (e.g., maintenance, preoperational testing, etc.) were being conducted in accordance with applicant procedures;
- listened for the public address system announcements to verify that blind spots do not exist; (i.e., cannot be heard clearly enough to be understood);
- construction work force authorized to perform activities on systems or equipment;
- watched for abuse of installed instrumentation such as stepping or climbing on the instrumentation that could affect the calibration or ability to function; and
- observed cable termination activities to verify that cables were not being damaged. In addition, the inspectors observed the preoperational test of the motor-operated valve stroke time logic test 2 FCV-7. The inspections were completed to verify that the testing was conducted in accordance with the approved procedure 2-PTI 05-A,
"Safety Injection System Pump/Valve Logic Test Train A," Rev. 2.
Also, the inspectors observed two preoperational motorized valve dynamic tests for 2-FCV 33A and 2-FCV 12A to verify that the tests were completed in accordance with the approved work instructions in work orders (WOs) 114902989 and 114902947.
b. Observations and Findings
No findings were identified.
c. Conclusion The applicant's implementation of the preoperational test program was in accordance with procedures for those activities observed during the inspection period. P.1.2 (Closed) Preoperational Test Witnessing - Reactor Coolant System Cold Hydrostatic Test (Inspection Procedure 70462)
a. Inspection Scope
Background: The purpose of IMC 2513, Light Water Reactor Inspection Program - Preoperational Testing and Operational Preparedness Phase, issue date January 1, 1984, is to verify through direct observation, personnel interviews, and review of facility records that:
- systems and components important to the safety of the plant are fully tested to demonstrate that they satisfy their design requirements; and
- management controls and procedures, including quality assurance programs, necessary for operation of the facility have been documented and implemented.
IMC 2513 defines the minimum inspection program for a finding of readiness for license issuance (IP 94300, Status of Plant Readiness for an Operating License). IMC 2513 requires the preoperational test witnessing of the mandatory tests defined in IMC 2513 and five of the primal tests defined in IMC 2513.

IV. OTHER ACTIVITES OA.1.1 (Discussed) Generic Letter 89-04: Guidance on Developing Acceptable In-Service Testing Programs; Temporary Instruction 2515/114: Inspection Requirements for Generic Letter 89-04, Acceptable In-Service Testing Programs; Temporary Instruction 2515/110: Performance of Safety-Related Check Valves
a. Inspection Scope
Background: Generic Letter (GL) 89-04 informed licensees of NUREG-1482, "Guidelines for Inservice Testing Programs at Nuclear Power Plants." NUREG-1482 contained recommendations for developing and implementing inservice testing programs. NUREG-1482 referenced 10 CFR 50.55a(b), which stated the requirements of the ASME Operation and Maintenance (OM) for Nuclear Power Plants was incorporated by reference into the NRC regulations. 10 CFR 50.55a(f)4 requires that throughout the service life of a boiling or pressurized water-cooled nuclear power facility, pumps and valves which are classified as ASME Code Class 1, 2, and 3 must meet the inservice test requirements of ASME OM Code as incorporated by reference in 10 CFR 50.55a(b). As referenced in SSER 22 Section 3.9.6, TVA was expected to submit an inservice test (IST) program and the office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation (NRR) open specific relief requests for WBN Unit 2 nine months before the projected date of operating license issuance. TVA submitted a letter (ADAMS Accession No. ML14133A296), dated May 8, 2014, which provided the NRC staff with TVA's Technical Instruction (TI), 0-TI 006, "Inservice Testing Program" for the Watts Bar Nuclear Plant (WBN) Units 1 and 2, Rev. 1. For Unit 1 WBN submitted Enclosure 1, which was an update to the IST program for the Unit 1 third 10-year interval. Enclosure 2 of the submittal requested to allow (1) alignment of the 120 month interval dates for the Unit 1 IST program to be concurrent with Unit 2 IST program, and (2) Unit 1 and Unit 2 to utilize the latest edition and addenda of the ASME OM Code currently referenced by 10 CFR 50.55a(b), which is ASME OM Code 2004 Edition through 2006 Addenda.
The ASME OM code, subsection ISTD, requirements for dynamic restraints (snubbers),
were not included in the applicant's IST program submittal. The dynamic restraints pre-service and inservice program requirements for TVA were submitted as part of the ASME Section XI program requirements instead of the IST program as permitted by 10 CFR 50.55a. The dynamic restraint testing inspections will be completed by the NRC in accordance with inspection procedure 70370, "Testing Piping Support and Restraint Systems."

Documents reviewed are listed in the Attachment.
b. Observations and Findings
Introduction:
The inspectors identified an unresolved item (URI) associated with the adequacy of the TVA's IST program scope and test frequencies assigned to several safety-related valves.
Description:
During the review of the WBN Unit 2 Inservice Testing Program, the safety injection cold leg accumulator isolation valves and nitrogen charging isolation valves (FCV 67, FCV 80, FCV 98, FCV 118, FCV 63, FCV 87, FCV 107, and FCV 127) were identified as passive in the TVA IST program. The valves were planned to only be position checked remotely every two years instead of stroked time tested, as required, if the valves were classified as active, in accordance with ASME OM Code 2004, 2006 Addenda. The program did not include a justification on basis for the classification. During the review of the TVA IST program, the inspectors questioned whether TVA met the requirements of 10 CFR 50.55a which by reference requires TVA to implement the scope requirements of the ASME OM Code. The ASME OM code requires all active valves that are required to change actuator position to accomplish a specific function in shutting down the reactor to a safe shutdown condition, or maintain the safe shutdown condition, or mitigate the consequences of an accident be assessed for their operational readiness and stroke time tested.
The ASME OM code defines passive valves as valves that maintain obturator position and are not required to change position to accomplish the required safety function. The ASME OM code also requires valves with remote position indicators to be tested and observed locally at least once every two years to verify that the valve operation is accurately indicated. TVA classified the accumulator isolation valves as passive and, therefore, the TVA IST program required only a position verification test every two years.
TVA had not demonstrated that the valves would not be called on to change position to mitigate the consequences of an accident which would require the valves to be classified as active. The inspectors identified several emergency operating procedures which required the valves to be repositioned in order to prevent excessive quantities of nitrogen from being injected into the reactor coolant system (RCS) in a post-accident condition. The emergency response guidelines, provided by the vendor, documented that the injection of nitrogen could inhibit natural circulation or lead to RCS pressure control difficulties. In response 24 to the observations within this URI, the applicant issued PER 951911 to review the URI and make corrective actions if necessary.
Further review is needed to address the URI as defined by IMC 0612: "An issue of concern about which more information is required to determine (a) if a performance deficiency exists, (b) if the performance deficiency is More-than-Minor, or (c) if the issue of concern constitutes a violation. Such a matter may require additional information from the licensee or cannot be resolved without additional guidance, or clarification/interpretation of the existing guidance."
This unresolved item is identified as URI 05000391/2014614-01, Potential failure to comply with the 10CFR50.55a and properly implement the scope of the ASME OM code. The inspectors concluded further inspection will be required to review the TVA IST bases documentation for the accumulator isolation valve classifications. c. Conclusion The inspectors identified URI 05000391/2014614-01, Potential failure to comply with the 10CFR50.55a and properly implement the scope of the ASME OM code. The inspectors concluded further inspection will be required to review the TVA IST bases documentation for the accumulator isolation valve classifications. Additionally, TI's 2515/110 and 2515/114 could not be completed in their entirety due to remaining test observations. Additional inspection is required to complete the remaining sections of TI 2515/110 and TI 2515/114. OA.1.2 (Discussed) Three Mile Island Action Item II.B.1: Reactor Coolant System Vent (Inspection Procedures 92717 and 35007)
a. Inspection Scope
Background: After the Three Mile Island (TMI) accident the NRC required licensees/applicants to install a reactor coolant vent system to relieve non-condensable gases that could accumulate in the reactor head area. The NRC approved the TVA approach to this requirement in a letter dated April 28, 1993. The NRC's Safety Evaluation Report (SER), NUREG-847, Supplement 23, dated July 2011, indicated that TVA's approach for Unit 2 (which was similar to Unit 1) was acceptable. In addition to installation of the system to the quality requirements, required actions included demonstrating acceptable vibration behavior during preoperational testing, system testing, and incorporation into emergency procedures. This item was previously discussed in Section OA.1.3 of IIR 05000391/2013605 (ADAMS Accession No. ML13220A640), which documented the review of documentation confirming valve requirements and review of Unit 2 procedures. IIR 05000391/2013605 concluded and recommended inspection of final installation and testing for the reactor coolant vent system.
25 Inspection Activities: SER dated April 28, 1993 TMI II.B.1 Specific Action Description Inspection Results Status 1 Demonstration of acceptable vibration behavior during pre-operational testing No inspection of this item was performed during the inspection period. This item should be inspected at a later time.
Open 2 Inspection of the task analysis pertinent to the use of the reactor head vent system (RHVS) in the emergency operating procedures (EOPs) The inspectors reviewed the results of the applicant's task analysis as the task analysis itself is not a maintained historical record. Inspectors reviewed the lesson plan, 3-OT-SYS068A, Reactor Coolant System and Job Performance Measure 3-OT-JPMR093, Establish RCS Bleed Paths per FR-H.1 and found them to be satisfactory. Completed3 Inspection of the control room design for the RHVSThe inspectors reviewed the location of controls and alarm annunciators for the RHVS on the Unit 2 main control board and found them equivalent to the installation on the Unit 1 main control board and appropriately labeled. Completed4 Satisfactory completion of vent system testing in accordance with Subsection ISTC of the O&M Code 2004 through 2006 addenda for Category B valves (previously noted as Subsection IWV of Section XI of the ASME Code for Category B valves).
No inspection of this item was performed during the inspection period. This item should be inspected at a later time.
Open 5 Review of the EQ electrical equipment pertaining to the RCS head vent system The inspectors reviewed environmental qualification information release WBNEQ-13051, Rev. 0, to verify that the purchased valves had certificates of conformance indicating that they met the Completed 26 requirements of IEEE 323-1974. The inspectors also reviewed the associated EQ binders and Unit 2-specific environmental drawings to verify that the qualification testing was still bounded for Unit 2, per IEEE 323-1974. 6 Inspection of EOPs that make use of the RHVS in accordance with IP 42001 Inspectors reviewed those Unit 2 EOPs that made use of the RHVS for the following attributes in accordance with Inspection Procedure 42001 and EOPs:
- that entry and exit points are easily followed, and that transitions between and within the Normal Operating, Alarm and Abnormal Operating Procedures and EOPs were appropriate, well defined, and easy to follow;
- that decision points in the procedures were easily discriminated and understood;
- that human factors were adequately considered for the intended use of the procedures. Completed7 Review of the correction of final safety analysis report (FSAR) section 5.5.6.2 as specified by Unit 1 Safety Evaluation SSER 12, enclosure letter Inspectors reviewed the enclosure letter to SSER 12, Item 11, dated April 28, 1993.
Inspectors also reviewed the licensee response to the letter, dated July 25, 1995, and the closure to Item 11 in SSER 16, Approved Conditions. The inspectors reviewed the current revision of FSAR Section 5.5.6.2 and determined further inspection is required. Open
27 In addition to the above items related to Three Mile Island Item II.B.1, the inspectors completed the as-built walkdown of the RCS vent piping as discussed in Section OA.1.6 of this report. Documents reviewed are listed in the Attachment.
a. Observations and Findings
No findings were identified.
b. Conclusions
The inspectors concluded that the RCS vent piping was installed in accordance with the approved design drawings. This item will remain open pending future testing (vibration and O&M testing as noted above) of the reactor coolant vent system and further review of the changes to the FSAR for the RHVS.

No findings were identified. c. Conclusion To date, the applicant's actions taken to meet the requirements of the SBO rule are acceptable. However, modifications related to the Unit 2 SBO requirements were in progress at the time of inspection and specific procedures for coping with an SBO event had not been issued for Unit 2. Additional inspection will be required to close TI 2515/120. OA.1.5 (Discussed) Construction Deficiency Report 391/83-48: Relocating Sensing Lines on Upper Containment Cooler (Inspection Procedures 92701 and 52053)
a. Inspection Scope
Background: The deficiency was initially reported to the NRC on August 10, 1983, as Nonconformance Report (NCR) WBN NEB 8321 in accordance with 10 CFR 50.55(e). The issue was documented as construction deficiency report (CDR) 390/83-50 for Unit 1 and CDR 391/83-48 for Unit 2. The CDRs were primarily related to the ventilation system (System 30) sensing line flow switches, which were not installed in accordance with mounting drawings. For Unit 1, CDR 390/83-50 was closed in NRC IR 50-390/84-53 and 50-391/84-42 (ADAMS Accession No. ML072570621). NRC IIR 5000391/2013604, Section OA.1.4 (ADAMS Accession No. ML13179A079) documented additional background details and inspection results for CDR 391/83-48.
Inspection Activities: The inspectors observed calibration activities for flow switch FS 80A/B as required by WO 112864870, "Perform GTI-01 on Flow Switch Calibration:
WBN FS 0080A/B-B and B/A-A, CTN 2 01346 000," to verify that acceptance criteria were met. The inspectors verified that proper measuring and test equipment (M&TE) was used at the required accuracy for calibration, and that the results were recorded during the activity. The inspectors also verified the as-built installation of the flow switch and found sensing lines properly located and oriented.
Documents reviewed are listed in the Attachment. b. Observations and findings No findings were identified.
c. Conclusion Flow switch calibration activities were adequate and as-built installation matched final drawings and records. Additional field observations are required to verify that flow switch calibration and installation are being adequately performed.
31 OA.1.6 (Closed) Supplemental Safety Evaluation Report, Appendix HH Open Item 69, U2 RCS Vent System Acceptable Pending Verification that Reactor Coolant System Vent System is Installed (Inspection Procedures 92717 and 35007)
a. Inspection Scope
Background: This item is associated with Three Mile Island Item II.B.1: Reactor Coolant System Vent, also discussed in Section OA.1.2 of this report.
After the TMI accident the NRC required licensees/applicants to install a reactor coolant vent system to relieve non-condensable gases that could accumulate in the reactor head area. The NRC approved the TVA approach to this requirement in a letter dated April 28, 1993. The NRC's Safety Evaluation Report (SER), NUREG-847, Supplement 23, dated July 2011, indicated that TVA's approach for Unit 2 (which was similar to Unit 1) was acceptable. This item was also previously discussed in Section OA.1.3 of IIR 05000391/2013605 (ADAMS Accession No. ML13220A640) which documented the review of documentation confirming valve requirements and review of Unit 2 procedures.
Inspection Activities: In addition to the above items related to Three Mile Island Item II.B.1, the inspectors completed the as-built walkdown of the RCS vent piping from the refueling disconnect flanges down to the flow orifice on top of the reactor vessel head. The inspectors interviewed QC personnel and reviewed the flange torque data sheets to verify that the piping was installed in accordance with the work instructions and the approved design drawings. The inspectors also witnessed the applicant and ANI inspection of the reactor head vent during the RCS hydrostatic testing of piping IAW with ASME Section III 1971 to 1973 Addenda, as discussed in Section P.1.3 of IIR 05000391/2013608 (ADAMS Accession No.ML13316A776).
Documents reviewed are listed in the Attachment.
b. Observations and Findings
No findings were identified.
c. Conclusion Based on a review of the applicant's engineering complete closure package and the aforementioned inspection activities, the inspectors concluded that the RCS vent piping was installed in accordance with the approved design drawings. Therefore, SSER Appendix HH Item 69 is considered closed. OA.1.7 (Closed) Cable Issues Corrective Action Program - Sub-Issue: Supports in Vertical Trays and Construction Deficiency Report 50-391/89-04: Support of Class 1E Cables Installed in Long Vertical Cable Tray Runs (Temporary Instruction 2512/016 and Inspection Procedure 51063)
a. Inspection Scope
Background: The Cable Issues Corrective Action Program (CAP) - Sub-Issue: Supports in Vertical Trays and CDR 391/89-04: Support of Class 1E Cables Installed in Long Vertical Cable Tray Runs, are similar issues and have been inspected together. The concern that long vertical cable tray runs may not be adequately supported was initially 32 reported to the NRC on May 26, 1989, in accordance with 10 CFR 50.55(e) as a Condition Adverse to Quality Report (CAQR) WBP 880575. The follow-up final report associated with the notification (ADAMS Accession No. ML073551053) was transmitted by letter dated September 7, 1990, and identified the apparent cause, safety implications, and planned or completed corrective actions. TVA's plans were to use the same approach as used at WBN Unit 1 and using the requirements in General Construction Specification G-38, which meets current standards. TVA commitments in this regard (NCOs 890140002 and 890140007) were to:
- report on support of Class 1E cables installed in long vertical cable tray runs in Unit 2 before Unit 2 fuel loading; and
- complete calculations, walkdowns, evaluations, and rework for Unit 2, as required to address this issue, before Unit 2 fuel loading.
IIR 05000391/2013605 (ADAMS Accession No. ML13220A640) concluded in Section OA.1.2 that the programmatic aspects of the applicant's implementation plan for this CAP sub-issue were adequate. This is the same conclusion reached in Section OA.1.13 as reported in IIR 05000391/2010605 (ADAMS Accession Number ML110410680). Several inspections have been conducted to date, including observations of work associated with Kellem grips, as documented in IIR 05000391/2014605 (ADAMS Accession No. ML14226A049) and 05000391/2014608(ADAMS Accession No.
ML14322A182). The conclusions stated that additional fieldwork needed to be inspected. Inspection Activities: The inspectors measured the radius of the cable bundles supported by Kellem grips for raceway 3B11911/3B1912 to verify that the correct size grip was installed. The inspectors also observed WO 114773157, which installed Kellem grips in the reactor building annulus, to verify that personnel were following the processes in accordance with procedure MIA 3.2, Cable Pulling for Insulated Cables Rated Up to 15,000 Volts, Rev. 27.
b. Observations and Findings
No findings were identified.
c. Conclusions
The inspectors concluded that the vertical supports which were sampled were adequately installed. Based on the field observations in this report, the prior field observations, and the reviews in IIR 05000391/2010605, 05000391/2014605, and 05000391/2014608, CDR 50-391/89-04 and Cable Issues Corrective Action Program - Sub-Issue: Supports in Vertical Trays are considered closed. With the closure of this sub-issue, all sub-issues associated with Cable Issues CAP are considered closed. The Cable Issues CAP is closed.
33 OA.1.8 (Closed) Supplemental Safety Evaluation Report, Appendix HH, Open Item 38: Availability and Operability of the Emergency Response Data System (Inspection Procedure 92701)
a. Inspection Scope
Background: Appendix HH open item 38 is identified in NUREG-0847, Safety Evaluation Report Related to the Operation of Watts Bar Nuclear Plant, Unit 2, SSER 22 (ADAMS Accession No. ML110390197). Section 13.3.2.6 states that NRC staff will confirm the availability and operability of the emergency response data system (ERDS) data capabilities prior to the issuance of the Unit 2 operating license.
The scope of the present review is based on Section 13.3, Emergency Preparedness, of NUREG-0800, Standard Review Plan (SRP) for the Review of Safety Analysis Reports for Nuclear Power Plants, LWR [Light-Water Reactor] Edition (ADAMS Accession No. ML063410307). The SRP provides that, in general, if an application is for an additional reactor at an operating reactor site, and the application proposes to incorporate and extend elements of the existing emergency planning program to the new reactor, those existing elements should be considered acceptable and adequate. This protocol applies to this inspection in that the WBN radiological emergency plan (REP) was written as a site-wide plan and that TVA proposed, and the Commission accepted, a regulatory framework in which TVA would align the Unit 1 and Unit 2 licensing and design basis to ensure design and operational fidelity between the two units.
Inspection Activities: The inspectors observed the applicant initiate ERDS data transmission and observed that available data was being received by an NRC Incident Response Center. Inspectors verified a sample of approximately 30 data points were received and that values were consistent with actual plant data read from the WBN Unit 2 plant computer system. Documents reviewed are listed in the Attachment. b. Observations and findings No findings were identified. Appropriate Unit 2 ERDS data was available.
c. Conclusion The inspectors observed transmission, receipt, and display of a sample of available plant data points. Based on the results of this inspection SSER Appendix HH, Open Item 38 is closed.
OA.1.9 (Closed) Supplemental Safety Evaluation Report, Appendix HH, Open Item 40: Confirm the Adequacy of the Emergency Facilities and Equipment to Support Dual Unit Operations (Inspection Procedure 92701)
a. Inspection Scope
Background: Appendix HH open item 40 is identified in NUREG-0847, Safety Evaluation Report Related to the Operation of Watts Bar Nuclear Plant, Unit 2, SSER 34 No. 22. Section 13.3.2.8 states that the NRC staff will confirm the adequacy of the emergency facilities and equipment to support dual unit operations prior to the issuance of the Unit 2 operating license.
The scope of the present review is based on the Section 13.3, Emergency Preparedness, of NUREG-0800, SRP for the Review of Safety Analysis Reports for Nuclear Power Plants, LWR Edition. The SRP provides that, in general, if an application is for an additional reactor at an operating reactor site, and the application proposes to incorporate and extend elements of the existing emergency planning program to the new reactor (included by reference), those existing elements should be considered acceptable and adequate.
This protocol applies to this inspection in that the WBN REP was written as a site-wide plan and that TVA proposed, and the Commission accepted, a regulatory framework in which TVA would align the Unit 1 and Unit 2 licensing and design basis to ensure design and operational fidelity between the two units. Inspection Activities: This inspection focused on ensuring the facilities were similarly equipped for events affecting either Unit 1, Unit 2, or both. The applicant had completed a self-assessment to verify processes and appropriate materials were in place in their emergency response facilities and identified remaining gaps.
The inspectors reviewed the self-assessment, applicant procedures, and equipment inventories needed to support dual unit operations. The inspectors toured the technical support center (TSC), the operations support center (OSC), and the Central Emergency Control Center (CECC) with licensee/applicant personnel.
Documents reviewed are listed in the Attachment. b. Observations and findings No findings were identified. The inspectors observed that displays were able to display Unit 1 and Unit 2 plant data simultaneously. The inspectors reviewed revised quarterly facility inventory procedures and confirmed a sample of available procedures and drawings were in the TSC and OSC. The inspectors noted that document control processes should ensure additional items would be placed in the facility as they become available. Unit 2 technical specifications were not yet available and were not in the current facility quarterly inventory processes, however this gap was entered into the applicant's corrective action program with appropriate completion dates. c. Conclusion The inspectors determined that the facilities were adequate to support Unit 2 operations.
Based on the results of this inspection SSER Appendix HH, Open Item 40 is closed.
OA.1.10 (Closed) Heat Sink Performance (Inspection Procedure 71111.07 Sections 02.02.d.2 and 02.02.d.4)
a. Inspection Scope
- Background: The subject IP required inspection of various activities associated with ensuring adequate heat sink for components. These items were identified as requiring 35 inspection at Watts Bar Unit 2. Section 02.02.d.2 of the IP covers inspection of underwater Ultimate Heat Sink (UHS) weirs or excavations, either by visual or other types of inspections. Section 02.02.d.4 of the IP covers applicant's operation of the ERCW System and the UHS. Inspection Activities: The inspectors utilized the above IP to determine if sufficient activities had been performed to verify these inspection items were adequately addressed. For section 2.02.d.2, the inspectors checked for settlement or movement, indicating loss of structural integrity, and for sediment intrusion that may affect capacity. For section 2.02.d.4, the inspectors reviewed applicant procedures for a loss of the ERCW system or UHS; and verified that the instrumentation, which is relied upon for decision making, was available. In addition, the inspectors determined that macro fouling was adequately monitored, trended, and controlled by the applicant to prevent clogging. The inspectors also reviewed strong pump-weak pump interaction and design changes to the ERCW system and the UHS. The inspectors also performed a system walkdown of the ERCW system (pumps, travelling screens, etc), and intake structures. In addition, the inspectors reviewed corrective action documents related to the ERCW system and UHS issues, and operating experience to evaluate the effectiveness of the corrective actions.
Documents reviewed are listed in the Attachment.
b. Observations and Findings
No findings were identified. The inspectors determined that the applicant had an appropriate threshold for identifying and correcting issues related to the ERCW system and the UHS. c. Conclusion Based on the activities reviewed, the inspectors concluded that these two inspection items from IP 71111.07 can be closed. OA.1.11 (Closed) Construction Deficiency Report 50-391/94-04: Potential Freezing of Main Steam Pressure Transmitter Sense Line (Inspection Procedure 92701)
a. Inspection Scope
Background: Potential freezing of the sense line for the main steam system pressure transmitter (PT) 1-PT 009A was originally identified as a concern at Watts Bar following the occurrence of a transmitter freeze failure at Sequoyah Nuclear (SQN) Power Plant. This inspection item was previously reviewed in IIR 05000391/2012604 (ADAMS Accession No. ML12167A212) where it was concluded that movement of the pressure transmitter would resolve the issue.
Inspection Activities: The inspectors performed field walkdowns to verify that the subject PTs had been relocated to an area not subject to freezing conditions to resolve the original concern. Additionally, the inspectors reviewed the drawings to ensure that the PTs were installed as prescribed and that the installation locations of the sense lines were defined.
36 Documents reviewed are in the Attachment. b. Observations and findings No findings were identified.
c. Conclusion Based on a review of the applicant's engineering complete closure package and the aforementioned inspection activities, the inspectors determined that the applicant has taken steps to adequately correct the discrepancies noted in CDR 94-04. This item is closed. OA.1.12 (Closed) Three Mile Island Action Item II.B.2, Plant Shielding and Unresolved Item 05000391/2014604-01, Evaluate Methodology for Calculating Mission Doses (Inspection Procedure 92701)
a. Inspection Scope
Background: As part of the response to the Three Mile Island (TMI) accident,Section II.B.2 of NUREG-0737, Clarification of TMI Action Plan Requirements (ADAMS Accession No. ML051400209), required licensees and applicants to perform a radiation shielding design review of the spaces around systems that may, as the result of an accident, contain highly radioactive materials. The goal was to ensure that operator actions in vital areas necessary to mitigate the effects of an accident could be performed without exceeding the dose limits of 10 CFR 50 Appendix A, General Design Criteria (GDC) 19. To this end, plants performed "mission dose" calculations to verify that these dose limits could be met for specific post-accident tasks.Section II.B.2 also required plants to assess the Environmental Qualification (EQ) of safety-related components in the vicinity of post-accident high radiation fields.
During the initial inspection of TMI Action II.B.2, a URI was identified in IIR 05000391/2014604 (ADAMS Accession No. ML14177A214) (URI 05000391/2014604-01). That URI had two components:
- As part of calculation WBNAPS3124, "Dose to Personnel from Obtaining Post-LOCA Liquid Sample from Hot Sample Room, Rev. 3," the applicant calculated a mission dose of 74.99 rem to the extremity of a technician (the limit is 75 rem per NUREG-0737, II.B.3). However, the description of how extremity dose was handled for various mission starting locations didn't address the dose accrued due to the different travel times. Given that this mission dose had very little margin, the NRC required further clarification on the methodology used to evaluate extremity dose for this calculation.
- Calculations WBNAPS3124 and WBNAPS3125, "Post-LOCA RE 106, 112 Radiation Monitor Grab Sample Mission Dose, Rev. 2," contained an assumption that self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) or other types of respiratory protection would be necessary to mitigate airborne radioactivity. However, these calculations did not discuss the impact of SCBA use on technician efficiency.
Instead, these two calculations relied on actual time-and-motion studies performed by a contactor. It was unknown whether these studies were 37 performed while wearing SCBA or other respiratory protection equipment. Therefore, the NRC required additional information regarding how these time-and-motion studies were performed and how they accounted for worker inefficiency due to the use of respiratory protection devices.
Inspection Activities: In order to address URI 05000391/2014604-01, the inspectors reviewed updated versions of WBNAPS3124 and WBNAPS3125 and discussed the revisions with applicant staff. The inspectors also evaluated additional mission dose calculations from a list of 14 essential, post-accident tasks. The calculations were reviewed to determine if appropriate mission steps had been evaluated, whether vital area locations had been adequately identified, and whether calculation methodology and assumptions were reasonable.
The inspectors also reviewed the applicant's activities regarding incorporation of mission dose assumptions (e.g. post-LOCA mission start times) into implementing-level procedures and the tracking of "unverified assumptions." This included discussions with applicant staff and a review of procedural guidance.
b. Observations and findings No findings were identified.
The two components of URI 05000391/2014604-01 were resolved as follows:
- Mission dose calculation WBNAPS3124 was revised in order to demonstrate compliance with NUREG-0737 criteria for extremity dose. The revision consisted of a re-evaluation of the source term near the point of contact with the sampling equipment, which accounts for the majority of the extremity dose. This re-evaluation showed that the previous source term was overly conservative and could be lowered, thereby reducing the dose accrued during the sampling activities. This provided additional margin for the overall extremity dose assessment and showed that the required activities could be performed without exceeding NUREG-0737 limits for all analyzed starting locations.
- Calculations WBNAPS3124 and WBNAPS3125 were revised to include an SCBA inefficiency factor of 1.25. This increased the accrued dose for these activities, however this was offset by increasing the time post-LOCA that the missions were allowed to take place. In addition to this revision process, the applicant held discussions with the contractor who performed the time-and-motion studies for these calculations. These discussions confirmed that the studies were performed with individuals wearing SCBA. Therefore worker inefficiency is already accounted for in WBNAPS3124 and WBNAPS3125 and the additional factor of 1.25 is conservative, but not necessary.
As noted in IIR 05000391/2014604, the mission dose calculations contained certain assumptions regarding operator actions, timing of the missions post-accident, and pre-positioning of tools and equipment. Discussions with applicant staff and a review of mission dose documentation revealed that these assumptions have been identified as
"calculation design outputs". Per procedural requirements, these items will be tracked until incorporation into appropriate implementing-level documents. The inspectors also noted that WBNAPS3125 contained an "unverified assumption" that required U2 38 radiation monitors RE 106 & 112 to be of similar design to U1 in terms of emergency sampling. This item is tracked separately by the applicant. In addition, discussions with the responsible start-up engineer indicated that the method of sampling for U2 RE 106 & 112 will be the same as U1 RE 106 & 112 (via portable sampling cart). c. Conclusion The inspectors determined that the applicant's efforts were sufficient to satisfy the intent of TMI Action II.B.2 and that URI 05000391/2014604-01 has been resolved. Based on a review of the applicant's final closure package and the aforementioned inspection activities, TMI Action Item II.B.2 and URI 05000391/2014604-01 are closed.
V. MANAGEMENT MEETINGS X1 Exit Meeting Summary An exit meeting was conducted on December 9, 2014, to present inspection results to Mr. Skaggs and other members of his staff. The inspectors identified that no proprietary information had been received during the inspection and none would be used in the inspection report.
