List of Findings and Violations Failure to Identify a Condition Adverse to Quality Associated with Inoperable Ice Condenser Intermediate Deck Doors.
Cornerstone Significance Cross-Cutting Report Aspect Section Mitigating Green [H.12] - Avoid 71111.20 Systems NCV 05000391/2019002-01 Complacency Open/Closed The inspectors identified a Green finding and associated non-cited violation (NCV) of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion XVI, Corrective Action, for the failure to identify a condition adverse to quality. Specifically, inspectors identified two inoperable intermediate deck doors in the Unit 2 ice condenser during a containment closure walkdown.
Failure to Implement Work Hour Controls for Covered Workers Cornerstone Significance Cross-Cutting Report Aspect Section Initiating Events Green [H.1] - Resources 71111.20 NCV 05000391/2019002-02 Open/Closed The inspectors identified a Green finding and associated non-cited violation (NCV) of 10 CFR 26.205(d)(4), Work Hours, which requires covered workers, working on outage activities, must have one day off in any (rolling) seven-day period. Specifically, the inspectors identified 31 individuals that worked for greater than seven days consecutively without having a day off.
Failure to Perform Radiological Surveys Adequate to Identify a High Radiation Area Cornerstone Significance Cross-Cutting Report Aspect Section Occupational Green [H.1] - Resources 71124.01 Radiation Safety NCV 05000390, 391/2019002-03 Open/Closed The inspectors identified a Green finding and associated NCV of 10 CFR 20.1501 and Technical Specification (TS) 5.11, when the licensee failed to perform adequate radiological surveys. Specifically, the licensee failed to perform surveys sufficient to identify a high radiation area (HRA) in the waste packaging area following a nearby radiation monitor alarm.
Failure to Maintain Records of Containment Breach Activities During Outages Cornerstone Significance Cross-Cutting Report Aspect Section Not Applicable NCV 05000390/2019002-04 Not Applicable 71152 Open/Closed
The inspectors identified an SL IV NCV of 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion XVII, Quality Assurance Records, for the licensees failure to maintain sufficient records to furnish evidence of activities affecting quality. Specifically, the licensee failed to retain the required Quality Assurance (QA) records of containment penetration and closure control activities for the life of both units.
Failure to Follow Clearance Procedure Results in Inoperability of the Unit 2 Power Range Nuclear Instrument.
Cornerstone Significance Cross-Cutting Report Aspect Section Initiating Events Green [H.11] - 71153 NCV 05000391/2019002-05 Challenge the Open/Closed Unknown The inspectors identified a Green finding and associated NCV of Technical Specification (TS)5.7.1.1.a, when the licensee failed to follow procedure NPG-SPP-10.2, Clearance Procedure to Safely Control Energy. Specifically, when developing the clearance for work on the source range and intermediate range instruments, the licensee failed to evaluate if the clearance would cause an undesired trip or actuation of another system. As a result, the power range channel N-42 was inadvertently de-energized when Breaker 45, 2-BKR-235-2/45, was opened to complete the planned work on the intermediate range and source range nuclear instruments.
Failure to Follow System Status Control Procedure Results in a Gap in a Bellows Seal and Inoperability of the Unit 2 Shield Building.
Cornerstone Significance Cross-Cutting Report Aspect Section Barrier Integrity Green [H.8] - Procedure 71153 NCV 05000391/2019002-06 Adherence Open/Closed The inspectors identified a self-revealed Green finding and associated NCV of Technical Specifications 5.7.1.1.a, Procedures, for the failure to follow the requirements of Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) procedure NPG-SPP-10.1, System Status Control, Revision 10. Specifically, on June 20, 2019, it was discovered that the Unit 2 shield building was inoperable due to a gap introduced into a bellows seal between the main steam valve vault room and the annulus.
Additional Tracking Items None.
PLANT STATUS
Unit 1 operated at or near rated thermal power (RTP) for the entire inspection period.
Unit 2 operated at or near RTP from the beginning of the inspection period until April 13, 2019, when it was shutdown for a planned refueling outage. The unit remained in the outage until it was restarted on May 14, 2019. Unit 2 continued power ascension until May 18, 2019, when the unit reached 83 percent power and then experienced an automatic runback to 55 percent power due to the 2A main feedwater pump tripping. The issue with the pump was corrected and power ascension resumed until May 22, 2019, when the unit was manually tripped from 95 percent power due to uncontrolled lowering of steam generator 2 level caused by the failure of an associated main feedwater regulation valve (MFRV). The unit was restarted from the forced outage to repair the MFRV on May 23, 2019. The unit reached at or near RTP on May 25, 2019, and remained there for the remainder of the inspection period.
INSPECTION SCOPES
Inspections were conducted using the appropriate portions of the inspection procedures (IPs) in effect at the beginning of the inspection unless otherwise noted. Currently approved IPs with their attached revision histories are located on the public website at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/doc-collections/insp-manual/inspection-procedure/index.html.

INSPECTION RESULTS
Failure to Implement Work Hour Controls for Covered Workers Cornerstone Significance Cross-Cutting Report Aspect Section Initiating Events Green [H.1] - 71111.20 NCV 05000391/2019002-002 Resources Open/Closed The inspectors identified a Green finding and associated non-cited violation (NCV) of 10 CFR 26.205(d)(4), Work Hours, which requires covered workers, working on outage activities, must have one day off in any (rolling) seven-day period. Specifically, the inspectors identified 31 individuals that worked for greater than seven days consecutively without having a day off.
Description:
During the most recent refueling outage for Unit 2, the inspectors reviewed TVAs implementing procedure NPG-SPP-03.21, Fatigue Rule and Work Hour Limits, Revision 21, for managing fatigue and controlling work hours in accordance with 10 CFR 26, Subpart I, Managing Fatigue.
This procedure defines what work will be considered covered work under 10 CFR 26, Subpart I during outages, which is when maintenance is performed on risk significant systems such as the ice condenser system and the reactor coolant system (RCS).
Covered work is defined by NPG-SPP-03.21 as personnel performing maintenance or on-site directing of the maintenance of System, Structures, or Components (SSCs) that a risk-informed evaluation process has shown to be significant to public health and safety.
The risk-informed evaluation process that TVA uses at Watts Bar to show what SSCs are significant to public health and safety is captured in TI-119, Maintenance Rule Performance Indicator Monitoring, Trending, and Reporting - 10 CFR 50.65, Revision 10.
This process has defined the ice condenser system and the RCS as risk significant SSCs that fall under the requirements of 10 CFR 26, Subpart I.
The inspectors then reviewed containment entry logs for WOs 120306793 and 119473026 to determine which individuals had entered the Unit 2 ice condenser during the most recent refueling outage. These WOs were used during refueling outage U2R2 to conduct maintenance in the Unit 2 ice condenser.
The inspectors identified 24 individuals that were not considered covered as defined by NPG-SPP-03.21 and 10 CFR 26, Subpart I, but were conducting maintenance in the ice condenser.
The inspectors reviewed all the time sheets for these 24 non-covered individuals and determined that at least seven individuals violated 10 CFR 26.205(d)(4) -Work Hours, which requires that a covered individual working on outage activities must have one day off in any (rolling) seven-day period. Contrary to this requirement all seven individuals exceeded the seven-day period without having a day off.
The inspectors then reviewed containment entry logs for WOs 119317306, 1195501127, 119559696, 119559722, 119560630, 119561042, and 119562955 to determine which individuals had entered the Unit 2 containment and worked on RCS insulation activities during U2R2. These WOs were used during U2R2 to conduct maintenance on the RCS by removing and installing insulation on the primary side of the steam generators.
The inspectors identified 25 individuals that were not considered covered as defined by NPG-SPP-03.21 and 10 CFR 26, Subpart I, but were conducting maintenance on the RCS by removing and installing insulation for the primary side of the steam generators.
The inspectors reviewed all the time sheets for these 25 non-covered individuals and determined that at least 24 individuals violated 10 CFR 26.205(d)(4) -Work hours, which requires that a covered individual working on outage activities must have one day off in any (rolling) seven-day period. Contrary to this requirement all 24 individuals exceeded the seven-day period without having a day off.
After interviewing TVA managers about these issues the inspectors discovered that current site practice was to designate entire groups of workers as non-covered based on their craft association, such as insulators, painters, etc., and not the specific task or SSC on which they were working. Inspectors noted this practice likely means there are far more workers in violation of Part 26 than discovered directly as part of the inspection.
These issues were brought to the attention of the licensee and they entered them into their corrective action program as CR 1515224. The licensee also performed an extent of condition review of Part 26 violations during U2R2 and discovered 67 additional violations solely within the insulator and painter craft categories.
During their review of NPG-SPP-03.21, Fatigue Rule and Work Hour Limits, Revision 21, the inspectors also noted that the procedure defines maintenance as: For the purposes of 10 CFR 26.4(a)(4), "Maintenance" is defined as maintenance activities, repair, modification, or calibration that are intrusive to SSCs and where errors could produce consequences to risk significant SSCs.
This differs from how Part 26 defines maintenance: Maintenance means, for the purposes of § 26.4(a)(4), the following onsite maintenance activities: Modification, surveillance, post-maintenance testing, and corrective and preventive maintenance.
The inspectors identified that it appears TVA may have used NEI 06-11 Rev. 1 Section 6.2 to define 'maintenance' in NPG-SPP-03.21. However, the NRC did not agree with all the guidance of NEI 06-11 Rev. 1 Section 6.2 as noted in NRC Reg Guide 5.73.
This issue was entered into their CAP as CR 1515364.
Corrective Actions: The licensee documented these issues in their CAP and is in the process of conducting an apparent cause evaluation. Corrective actions that are planned include updating the Part 26 implementing procedures for both TVA and contractors and provide training.
Corrective Action References: The licensee documented these issues in CRs 1515224 and 1515364.
Performance Assessment:
Performance Deficiency: The inspectors determined the failure to control work hours as required by NPG-SPP-03.21, Fatigue Rule and Work Hour Limits, and 10 CFR Part 26, Subpart I, Managing Fatigue, was a performance deficiency.
Screening: The inspectors determined the performance deficiency was more than minor because if left uncorrected, it would have the potential to lead to a more significant safety concern. Specifically, the failure to control work hours as required by NPG-SPP-03.21, Fatigue Rule and Work Hour Limits, and 10 CFR Part 26, Subpart I, Managing Fatigue, could result in performance of work while impaired from fatigue, which could lead to human errors that damage safety related equipment. Inspectors also determined that work practices associated with the covered/uncovered designation, the number of violations, and the procedural issues indicated that these problems were programmatic at Watts Bar and potentially the TVA fleet.
Significance: The inspectors assessed the significance of the finding using Appendix A, The Significance Determination Process (SDP) for Findings At-Power. Although the likelihood of human error increased the likelihood of an initiating event or adverse impact on mitigation equipment, the finding was determined to be of very low significance because no significant event, reactor trip, or loss of mitigation equipment occurred because of personnel fatigue linked to the hours worked.
Cross-Cutting Aspect: H.1 - Resources: Leaders ensure that personnel, equipment, procedures, and other resources are available and adequate to support nuclear safety. The finding had a cross-cutting aspect in the resources attribute of the human performance area as defined in IMC 0310, Aspects Within the Cross-Cutting Areas, because leaders did not ensure personnel, equipment, procedures, and other resources are available and adequate to support nuclear safety. Specifically, NPG-SPP-03.21 - Fatigue Rule and Work Hour Limits, had an inadequate definition of what was considered maintenance under 10 CFR 26.4(a)(4),which led to confusion on which individuals were considered covered employees.
Enforcement:
Violation: 10 CFR 26.205(d)(4) requires: During the first 60 days of a unit outage, licensees need not meet the requirements of § 26.205(d)(3) or (d)(7) for individuals specified in § 26.4(a)(1) through (a)(4), while those individuals are working on outage activities. However, the licensee shall ensure that the individuals specified in § 26.4(a)(1) through (a)(3) have at least 3 days off in each successive (i.e., non-rolling) 15-day period and that the individuals specified in § 26.4(a)(4) have at least 1 day off in any 7-day period; Contrary to the above, from April 13, 2019, until May 16, 2019, 31 individuals specified in § 26.4(a)(4) did not have at least one day off in any seven-day period.
Enforcement Action: This violation is being treated as a non-cited violation, consistent with Section 2.3.2 of the Enforcement Policy.
Failure to Identify a Condition Adverse to Quality Associated with Inoperable Ice Condenser Intermediate Deck Doors.
Cornerstone Significance Cross-Cutting Report Aspect Section Mitigating Green [H.12] - Avoid 71111.20 Systems NCV 05000391/2019002-01 Complacency Open/Closed The inspectors identified a Green finding and associated NCV of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion XVI, Corrective Action, for the failure to identify a condition adverse to quality. Specifically, inspectors identified two inoperable intermediate deck doors in the Unit 2 ice condenser during a containment closure walkdown.
Description:
On May 30, 2019, inspectors conducted a containment closure walkdown in Unit 2 upper containment in accordance with inspection procedure 71111.20, Refueling and other Outage Activities. Unit 2 was in mode 1 at the time following refueling outage U2R2. As part of the inspection activities the inspectors checked the status of some intermediate deck doors and also inspected the ice baskets and flow channels underneath the doors. Inspectors identified that Bay 21 doors 3 and 7 were both frozen shut and could not be opened, despite no visible ice on or around the doors. The senior reactor operator accompanying the inspectors immediately notified the main control room of the condition and they declared the doors inoperable and entered technical specification limiting condition for operation (TS LCO)3.6.12, Ice Condenser Doors, condition B.
There are two technical specification surveillance requirements (TSSR) relevant to this condition. TSSR 3.6.12.2 requires a visual inspection of each intermediate deck door every seven days to verify they are not impaired by ice, frost, or debris and it is implemented by TVA procedure 2-SI-61-6, Weekly Ice Condenser Intermediate Deck Doors Visual Inspection, Revision 5. TSSR 3.6.12.6 requires, in part, verification of free movement of each intermediate deck door every 18 months and it is implemented by TVA procedure 2-SI-61-7, 18 Month Ice Condenser Intermediate Deck Door Operational Check, Revision 1. When doors are found with visible ice, frost, or debris potentially impairing their free movement during weekly performances of 2-SI-61-6, a digital force gauge is used to assess any degradation in the free movement of the door and acceptance criteria for force-to-open from 2-SI-61-7 are used to verify both as found and as left operability. Acceptance criteria in 2-SI-61-7 ranges from 30.5 lbs to 36.9 lbs depending on a doors location.
After the inspectors identified two frozen doors with no visible ice, frost, or debris, the licensee performed an extent of condition that tested all 192 intermediate deck doors for free movement with a digital force gauge and the acceptance criteria in 2-SI-61-7. The licensee found 33 additional doors with no indications of ice, frost, or debris that failed the 2-SI-61-7 acceptance criteria. One of the doors identified by the inspectors (bay 21 door 7) maxed out the force gauge at 50 lbs, confirming its inoperability. The other door (bay 21 door 3) was unstuck by the senior reactor operator (SRO) during the NRC inspection, preventing an as found test. As a result, both doors were considered to be inoperable. Though they were higher than the acceptance criteria, none of the additional 33 doors maxed out the force gauge. The licensee performed an operability determination that relied on a Westinghouse letter from 1998 to accept higher force-to-open values than were allowed by 2-SI-61-7 for the additional 33 doors. The operability determination concluded that all doors, except the two found by inspectors, were ultimately operable and therefore the safety function of the ice condenser was maintained.
Inspectors noted that the TS 3.6.12 bases specifically mentions that the 18 month frequency of TSSR 3.6.12.6 is based, in part, on the fact that SR 3.6.12.2 confirms on a 7 day Frequency that the doors are not impaired by ice, frost, or debris, which are ways a door would fail the opening force test (i.e., by sticking or from increased door weight). Inspectors noted that significant numbers of doors were not found to be inoperable during previous performances of 2-SI-61-7, including the most recent on May 3, 2019 and during period of the first year after receipt of the operating license, 2015-2016, where the surveillance test was required to be performed every 3 months. In fact, the 2-SI-61-7 performance on May 3, 2019 found all doors met the as found acceptance criteria. The licensee wrote CR 1527359 to address this issue.
Corrective Actions: The immediate corrective actions taken by the licensee following identification of the frozen doors included as found force-to-open tests of all 192 intermediate deck doors, application of lubricant to the door seating surfaces, and verification of satisfactory as-left testing. Subsequent actions and monitoring are currently being evaluated.
Corrective Action References: CRs 1521497, 1520769, 1521049, 1521069, 1521317, 1521319, 1521497, 1527359, 1529382
Performance Assessment:
Performance Deficiency: The failure to identify a condition adverse to quality associated with two inoperable intermediate deck doors in the Unit 2 ice condenser, as required by 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion XVI, Corrective Action, was a performance deficiency. Specifically, inspectors identified two inoperable intermediate deck doors in the Unit 2 ice condenser during a containment closure walkdown.
Screening: The inspectors determined the performance deficiency was more than minor because it was associated with the Human Performance attribute of the Mitigating Systems cornerstone and adversely affected the cornerstone objective to ensure the availability, reliability, and capability of systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences. Specifically, inspectors identified two inoperable intermediate deck doors in the Unit 2 ice condenser during a containment closure walkdown.
Significance: The inspectors determined that the finding screened to Green in accordance with IMC 0609, Appendix A, Exhibit 2, Mitigating Systems Screening Questions, Section A, Mitigating SSCs and Functionality, because the finding did not represent a loss of system function or a loss of a single train for greater than its TS allowed outage time.
Cross-Cutting Aspect: H.12 - Avoid Complacency: Individuals recognize and plan for the possibility of mistakes, latent issues, and inherent risk, even while expecting successful outcomes. Individuals implement appropriate error reduction tools. Specifically, detailed and thorough walkdowns of the ice condenser were not being performed to check and monitor system function beyond the required TSSR.
Enforcement:
Violation: 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion XVI, Corrective Action, requires, in part, that measures be established to assure that conditions adverse to quality, such as failures, malfunctions, deficiencies, deviations, defective material and equipment, and nonconformances are promptly identified and corrected. Contrary to the above, on March 30, 2019, the licensee failed to promptly identify a condition adverse to quality associated with two inoperable intermediate deck doors in the Unit 2 ice condenser.
Enforcement Action: This violation is being treated as a non-cited violation, consistent with Section 2.3.2 of the Enforcement Policy.
Failure to Perform Radiological Surveys Adequate to Identify a High Radiation Area Cornerstone Significance Cross-Cutting Report Aspect Section Occupational Green [H.1] - 71124.01 Radiation Safety NCV 05000390, 391/2019002-03 Resources Open/Closed The inspectors identified a Green finding and associated NCV of 10 CFR 20.1501 and Technical Specification (TS) 5.11, when the licensee failed to perform adequate radiological surveys. Specifically, the licensee failed to perform surveys sufficient to identify a high radiation area (HRA) in the waste packaging area following a nearby radiation monitor alarm.
Description:
On May 1, 2019, main control room operators received an alarm on radiation monitor 0-RE-90-3 indicating higher than normal radiation levels in the waste packaging area and contacted radiation protection (RP) to have them assess the situation. Operator logs showed that RP responded one hour later with the comment RadPro reports rad level in waste packaging are elevated due to water processing. On May 6th and again on May 8th the inspectors walked down the waste packaging area and noticed that 0-RE-90-3 was still in alarm and that the area was posted as a radiation area. Independent NRC surveys showed that dose rates near the liquid waste processing equipment were substantially higher than those displayed on the most recent routine survey posted outside the room and dated February 25, 2019. The inspectors requested survey records showing the initial and continued followup to the area radiation monitor alarm, however the licensee could not produce any relevant documented surveys. The inspectors also noted that there was no procedural guidance that would have required more frequent surveys in the area, other than the initial response, as a result of the ongoing alarm. On May 9th, at the request of NRC inspectors, the licensee performed a thorough survey of the waste packaging area and found dose rates up to 110 mrem/hr at 30 cm, thereby exceeding the threshold for an HRA.
Corrective Actions: The licensee took immediate corrective actions including posting and controlling the area as an HRA.
Corrective Action References: CR 1515390, CR 1516841, CR 1515204
Performance Assessment:
Performance Deficiency: The failure to perform surveys adequate to identify an HRA in the waste packaging area, as required by 10 CFR 20.1501, was a performance deficiency.
Screening: The inspectors determined the performance deficiency was more than minor because it was associated with the Program & Process attribute of the Occupational Radiation Safety cornerstone and adversely affected the cornerstone objective to ensure adequate protection of public health and safety from exposure to radioactive materials released into the public domain as a result of routine civilian nuclear reactor operation.
Failure to perform adequate surveys, and subsequently barricade and post HRAs, could lead to unplanned radiation exposures.
Significance: The inspectors assessed the significance of the finding using Appendix C, Occupational Radiation Safety SDP. The finding was not related to ALARA planning, nor did it involve an overexposure or substantial potential for overexposure, and the ability to assess dose was not compromised. Therefore, the inspectors determined the finding to be of very low safety significance (Green).
Cross-Cutting Aspect: H.1 - Resources: Leaders ensure that personnel, equipment, procedures, and other resources are available and adequate to support nuclear safety.
Licensee procedures did not provide guidance on how to deal with a prolonged area radiation monitor alarm.
Enforcement:
Violation: 10 CFR 20.1501 requires that licensees perform surveys, that may be necessary to comply with the regulations in this part, to evaluate the magnitude of radiation levels. Technical Specification 5.11, in-lieu of the requirements of 10 CFR 20.1601, requires HRAs with dose rates not exceeding 1 rem/hr at 30 cm be barricaded and conspicuously posted as a HRA. Contrary to this, from May 1, 2019 to May 9, 2019, the licensee failed to perform surveys necessary to identify and subsequently barricade and conspicuously post a HRA in the waste packaging area. The licensee took immediate corrective actions including barricading the entrance and posting the area as an HRA.
Enforcement Action: This violation is being treated as a non-cited violation, consistent with Section 2.3.2 of the Enforcement Policy.
Failure to Maintain Records of Containment Breach Activities During Outages Cornerstone Severity Cross-Cutting Report Aspect Section Not Severity Level IV Not 71152 Applicable NCV 05000390/2019002-04 Applicable Open/Closed The inspectors identified an SL IV NCV of 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion XVII, Quality Assurance Records, for the licensees failure to maintain sufficient records to furnish evidence of activities affecting quality. Specifically, the licensee failed to retain the required Quality Assurance (QA) records of containment penetration and closure control activities for the life of both units.
Description:
In the second quarter of 2019, the inspectors chose to perform an annual review sample of containment closure controls during past outages in accordance with NRC Inspection Procedure 71152, Identification and Resolution of Problems. This sample was chosen, in part, due to recent NRC violation 05000390/2019-002, Failure to Meet Acceptance Criteria of Containment Closure in Mode 6. When inspectors attempted to retrieve QA records of containment closure forms from prior refueling outages, none could be found.
The licensee investigated and determined, with the exceptions listed below, all records associated with both Unit 1 and Unit 2 TI-68.002 procedures were irretrievably lost. This prevented the inspectors from completing their inspection. The only records subsequently identified were from a Unit 1 outage in 2002 and several examples of partial records from Unit 2 after the license was issued in October 2015, but prior to the completion of construction and testing in November 2016. Thus, the Unit 1 refueling outage in 2002 was the only retained record of containment closure activities during a past refueling outage that could be retrieved since commercial operation began for Unit 1 in 1996 and Unit 2 in 2016.
TVA procedure 1-TI-68.002, Containment Penetrations and Closure Control, Revision 1 and 2-TI-68.002, Revision 4 each require the retention of certain QA records in section 8.1, QA Records. Section 8.1 requires, specifically, that the following procedure sections be retained as quality records, Attachment A and B Data Sheets and Attachment C and D Data Sheets as required. Attachment A is Breach Closure Time Form and outlines the specific calculation for the minimum breach closure time at different points throughout a refueling outage. Attachment B is Containment Closure Exceptions and includes specific information on each actively breached penetration during the time period of a refueling outage where containment closure controls are in effect. Attachments C and D are related to various time to core boiling calculations. The TI-68.002 procedures and associated records are the quality process used to ensure continued operability of the reactor containment during ongoing maintenance activities for a refueling outage.
The inspectors reviewed other records associated with outage activities and found further discrepancies. These included missing or incomplete records for seven different general operating (GO) procedures across both units. Inspectors also noted that the GO procedures had ambiguous record retention requirements, with most requiring that the Completed Data Package be retained as a QA record. However, it was unclear to both the inspectors and the licensee what sections of the GO procedures constituted a Completed Data Package. Over 75 additional examples were identified of completed technical specification surveillance procedures that were not available in the licensees records management system. These procedures were later located and retained as required.
Corrective Actions: The licensee documented this issue in their corrective action program. The records from the most recent Unit 1 outage (U1R15) were physically located prior to disposal so they could be properly retained.
Corrective Action References: The licensee documented these issues in CRs 1498802, 1506470, 1508361, and 1525666.
Performance Assessment:
The inspectors determined this violation was associated with a minor ROP performance deficiency. The inspectors identified an SL IV NCV 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion XVII, Quality Assurance Records, for the licensees failure to maintain sufficient records to furnish evidence of activities affecting quality.
Enforcement:
The ROPs significance determination process does not specifically consider the regulatory process impact in its assessment of licensee performance. Therefore, it is necessary to address this violation which impedes the NRCs ability to regulate using traditional enforcement to adequately deter non-compliance.
Severity: The failure to maintain sufficient records was more than minor under traditional enforcement because it prevented the NRC from completing the chosen inspection sample and was consistent with Enforcement Policy section 6.9.d.1 for a SL IV violation. Cross-cutting aspects are not assigned to traditional enforcement violations.
Violation: 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion XVII, Quality Assurance Records, requires in part, that sufficient records shall be maintained to furnish evidence of activities affecting quality. The records shall include at least the following: operating logs and the results of reviews, inspections, tests, audits, monitoring of work performance, and materials analyses. These requirements are implemented, in part, by TVA procedures 1-TI-68.002 and 2-TI-68.002. Section 8.1, QA Records, of the above procedures requires the following procedure sections be retained as quality records, Attachment A and B Data Sheets and C and D Data Sheets as required.
Contrary to the above, prior to March 13, 2019, the licensee failed to maintain sufficient records to furnish evidence of activities affecting quality associated with the monitoring of work performance during refueling outages. Specifically, complete records of Attachment A and B Data Sheets and Attachment C and D Data Sheets as required were not retained in accordance with TVA procedures 1-TI-68.002 and 2-TI-68.002, Section 8.1, QA Records.
Enforcement Action: This violation is being treated as a non-cited violation, consistent with Section 2.3.2 of the Enforcement Policy.
Observation: Annual Review of Corrective Actions Associated with NRC NCV 71152 05000390/391 2016013-02, Failure to Provide Accurate Information The inspectors performed an annual review of issues relating to the licensee providing complete and accurate information to the NRC. Specifically, the inspectors reviewed condition reports 1271306 and 1257821. CR 1271306 was written on March 10, 2017 for a violation of 10 CFR 50.9, Completeness and Accuracy of Information that was documented in inspection report 2016013 as NCV 05000390, 391/2016013-002. The violation was issued for inaccurate information provided by TVA in a response letter to the NRCs Chilled Work Environment for Raising and Addressing Safety Concerns at the Watts Bar Nuclear Plant, dated March 23, 2016.
In their response letter, TVA indicated that an effectiveness review of the prior implementation of Confirmatory Order (EA-09-009/203) had been completed when, in fact, it had not been completed. Additionally, CR 1257821 was written on February 2, 2017 to perform a common factors or common cause analysis of a number of recent issues or proposed NRC violations against 10 CFR 50.9.
The residents reviewed the corrective actions associated with each of these CRs.
The licensee created the following corrective actions for CR 1271306: 1 - create gap analysis, 2 - site licensing review after completion of gap analysis, and 3 - closure review. The licensee did not identify any gaps or deficiencies. The residents noted that CR 1257821 was closed to a recommendation of no action. The licensee wrote CR 1370133, on December 19, 2017, to address the lack of corrective actions. This resulted in a revision to TVA procedure NPG-SPP-03.10, Managing TVAs Interface with the NRC, to address the need for additional ownership and rigor in the NRC submittal process.
Failure to Follow System Status Control Procedure Results in a Gap in a Bellows Seal and Inoperability of the Unit 2 Shield Building.
Cornerstone Significance Cross-Cutting Report Aspect Section Barrier Integrity Green [H.8] - 71153 NCV 05000391/2019002-005 Procedure Open/Closed Adherence A self-revealed Green finding and associated NCV of TS 5.7.1.1.a, Procedures, was identified for the failure to follow the requirements of TVA procedure NPG-SPP-10.1, System Status Control, Revision 10. Specifically, on June 20, 2019, it was discovered that the Unit 2 shield building was inoperable due to a gap introduced into a bellows seal between the main steam valve vault room and the annulus.
Description:
On June 20, 2019, radiation protection personnel were performing surveys in the Unit 2 annulus (the space between the concrete shield building and the reactor containment) when they felt air flow coming from outside the shield building into the annulus. The licensee investigation found that rubber bellows seal R2S065 pulled off from its associated penetration through the shield building, leaving an approximate one inch by ten inch gap. The licensee determined that the bellows was most likely pulled off of the penetration by having been stepped on during work that was previously performed in the area. This represented a change of the status of the shield building (i.e. it became inoperable), and was neither authorized, nor documented, in accordance with site procedures.
Inspectors reviewed the requirements of NPG-SPP-10.1, System Status Control, Revision 10. Section 3.2.6, Work Documents, states in part that work activities that change the status of components must be authorized and documented by one of the following: NPG-SPP-10.2, Clearance Program, NPG-SPP-06.1, Work Order Process Initiation, Approved plant procedures, or NPG-SPP-09.5, Temporary Modifications Temporary configuration changes.
Additionally, the pulling off of the bellows was not reported when it occurred, but was found later by radiation protection technicians who were in the area doing preliminary radiation surveys to determine if the annulus could be down-posted from a high radiation area. The technicians were performing an activity, not specifically looking for air leaks or other degradation, but felt warm air which was readily detectable when they stepped off the ladder at their work location and therefore this issue is considered self-revealed.
Corrective Actions: The immediate corrective actions taken by the licensee was to declare the shield building inoperable and enter technical specification limiting condition for operation 3.6.15 Condition A. The licensee documented this issue in their CAP as CR 1526540.
Corrective Action References: CR 1526540 and CR 1527618
Performance Assessment:
Performance Deficiency: The failure to follow TVA procedure NPG-SPP-10.1, System Status Control, Revision 9, Section 3.2.6.A was a performance deficiency. Specifically, Section 3.2.6.A required that work activities that change the status of components must be authorized and documented by one of the following: NPG-SPP-10.2, Clearance Program, NPG-SPP-06.1, Work Order Process Initiation, Approved plant procedures, or NPG-SPP-09.5, Temporary Modifications Temporary configuration changes. Contrary to this requirement, during work in the area of the penetration the bellows seal was removed without being authorized and documented by one of the procedures and resulted in shield building inoperability.
Screening: The inspectors determined the performance deficiency was more than minor because it was associated with the Human Performance attribute of the Barrier Integrity cornerstone and adversely affected the cornerstone objective to provide reasonable assurance that physical design barriers protect the public from radionuclide releases caused by accidents or events. Specifically, the Shield Building was inoperable due to the performance deficiency.
Significance: The inspectors used the SDP Appendix Router to arrive at IMC 0609, Appendix A. The SDP for Findings At-Power. The inspectors determined that the finding screened to Green in accordance with IMC 0609, Appendix A, Exhibit 3, Barrier Integrity Screening Questions, Section C, Control Room, Auxiliary, Reactor, or Spent Fuel Pool Building, because the finding only represented a degradation of the radiological barrier function provided for the auxiliary building.
Cross-Cutting Aspect: H.8 - Procedure Adherence: Individuals follow processes, procedures, and work instructions. Cross-Cutting Aspect: The finding had a cross-cutting aspect in the Procedure Adherence attribute of the Human Performance area as defined in IMC 0310, Aspects within the Cross- Cutting Areas, because the licensee failed to comply with their Conduct of Maintenance procedure by stepping on plant equipment and this resulted in the loss of configuration control.
Enforcement:
Violation: TS 5.7.1, Procedures, in subsection 5.7.1.1.a, requires written procedures covering activities recommended in Regulatory Guide 1.33, Revision 2, Appendix A, February 1978, which includes equipment control activities (e.g. locking and tagging) in section 1.c, be established, implemented, and maintained. Contrary to the above, on June 20, 2019, the licensee failed to adequately implement procedure, NPG-SPP-10.1, System Status Control, when it was discovered that the work activities that change the status of components were not authorized and documented in accordance with NPG-SPP-10.1, System Status Control.
Enforcement Action: This violation is being treated as a non-cited violation, consistent with Section 2.3.2 of the Enforcement Policy.
Failure to Follow Clearance Procedure Results in Inoperability of the Unit 2 Power Range Nuclear Instrument.
Cornerstone Significance Cross-Cutting Report Aspect Section Initiating Events Green [H.11] - 71153 NCV 05000391/2019002-06 Challenge the Open/Closed Unknown The inspectors identified a Green finding and associated NCV of TS 5.7.1.1.a, when the licensee failed to follow procedure NPG-SPP-10.2, Clearance Procedure to Safely Control Energy. Specifically, when developing the clearance for work on the source range and intermediate range instruments, the licensee failed to evaluate if the clearance would cause an undesired trip or actuation of another system. As a result, the power range channel N-42 was inadvertently de-energized when Breaker 45, 2-BKR-235-2/45, was opened to complete the planned work on the intermediate range and source range nuclear instruments.
Description:
On March 17, 2019, the licensee hung clearance 2-92-0105 in order to proceed with work related to the Channel II shutdown monitor. The clearance identified that the Intermediate Range Drawer Instrument Power, 2-NI-92-136; the Source Range Drawer Instrument Power, 2-NI-92-132E; the Shutdown Monitor, 2-NI-92-134; the Local Source Range Neutron Monitor, 2-NM-92-132; and the Amplifier I-R Pulse Output, Source Range Output, and Intermediate Range Campbell Mode Output, 2-NM-92-136, would all be affected by the clearance, which opened the 120V AC Vital Instrument Power Board 2-II, Breaker 45, 2-BKR-235-2/45. However, the clearance did not appropriately identify that power would also be removed from the Power Range Monitor, N-42.
Following the opening of 2-BKR-235-2/45, the Power Range Monitor, N-42, de-energized and the operators entered the applicable TS LCO and completed the applicable actions within the required time.
During the clearance writing, the licensee did not recognize that the Power Range Monitor, N-42, was wired to the 2-BKR-235-2/45 circuit.
NPG-SPP-10.2, Rev. 0021, Clearance Procedure to Safely Control Energy, Attachment 15, Checklist for Preparing and Reviewing Clearance, requires the licensee to evaluate if work or clearance affects any logic or interlocks that could cause undesired trip or actuation of other systems. Attachment 15 also requires the licensee to identify actions to prevent trip/actuation, if the licensee has, in fact, identified undesired trip or actuations of other systems as a result of the clearance.
The licensee failed to ensure that all affected components were adequately identified in the clearance in accordance with NPG-SPP-10.2, Attachment 15. Subsequently, on March 17, 2019, at approximately 1603, the licensee inadvertently de-energized the Power Range Nuclear Instrument, N-42, and entered the applicable TS LCO and abnormal operating instruction (AOI). At approximately 1711 on March 17, 2019, the licensee restored operability of N-42, by powering it back up, and subsequently exited the applicable TS LCO and AOI.
Corrective Actions: The immediate corrective actions taken by the licensee, following the inadvertent de-energization, was to restore its operability by restoring power to N-42. The licensee documented this issue in their CAP.
Corrective Action References: CR 1499812 and CR 1507301
Performance Assessment:
Performance Deficiency: The failure to adequately identify the Power Range Nuclear Instrument, N-42, as an affected component of the clearance work, as required by station procedure NPG-SPP-10.2, Revision 0021, Clearance Procedure to Safely Control Energy, 15, Checklist for Preparing and Reviewing Clearance, was a performance deficiency. Specifically, NPG-SPP-10.2, Attachment 15 requires the licensee to evaluate if work or clearance affects any logic or interlocks that could cause undesired trip or actuation of other systems, and if so, to also identify actions to prevent trip/actuation.
Screening: The inspectors determined the performance deficiency was more than minor because it was associated with the Equipment Performance attribute of the Initiating Events cornerstone and adversely affected the cornerstone objective to limit the likelihood of events that upset plant stability and challenge critical safety functions during shutdown as well as power operations. Specifically, the performance deficiency resulted in the inoperability of N-42, one of four power range channels, thereby inserting a power range high flux trip for that channel. This adversely affected the availability of the reactor protection system to respond to a spurious trip on another channel thereby increasing the likelihood of a reactor trip.
Significance: The inspectors screened the finding using IMC 0609, Appendix A. The SDP for Findings At-Power, Exhibit 2, Mitigating Systems Screening Questions, Section C, Reactivity Control Systems. The inspectors answered no to the three screening questions located in IMC 0609, Appendix A, Exhibit 2, Section C; and therefore, determined the significance of this finding to be Green.
Cross-Cutting Aspect: H.11 - Challenge the Unknown: Individuals stop when faced with uncertain conditions. Risks are evaluated and managed before proceeding. Specifically, reference drawings used for the clearance were not consistent in identifying that the power range nuclear instrument, N-42, was also powered from breaker 2-BKR-235-2/45. As documented in CR 1499812, the clearance preparer requested assistance from the maintenance instrument group and the Westinghouse subject matter expert (SME). The SME confirmed there were no connections to the power range drawer, however, this was an incorrect conclusion. Additionally, 2-BKR-235-2/45 is labeled as Nuclear Instrument System Power Channel II to Panel 2-M-13. The nuclear instrument system includes source, intermediate, and power range instruments. Panel 2-M-13 identified NIS Channel II with a placard, under which are the Channel II source, intermediate, and power range drawers. Therefore, the fact that the breaker also powered the power range could have been recognized during a thorough review of the work site if drawing accuracy was in question.
Enforcement:
Violation: TS 5.7.1, Procedures, in subsection 5.7.1.1.a, requires that written procedures covering activities that are recommended in Regulatory Guide 1.33, Revision 2, Appendix A, February 1978, which includes properly pre-planning maintenance that can affect performance of safety-related equipment in section 9.a, be established, implemented, and maintained. Contrary to the above, on March 17, 2019, the licensee failed to adequately implement NPG-SPP-10.2, Clearance Procedure to Safely Control Energy, Attachment 15, Checklist for Preparing and Reviewing Clearance, when it failed to identify and evaluate the effects on the power range nuclear instrument, N-42, which led to the inadvertent de-energization and inoperability of N-42.
Enforcement Action: This violation is being treated as a non-cited violation, consistent with Section 2.3.2 of the Enforcement Policy.
