SUMMARY

The NRC continued monitoring the licensees performance by conducting a quarterly inspection at Vogtle Electric Generating Plant Units 1 and 2 in accordance with the Reactor Oversight Process. The Reactor Oversight Process is the NRCs program for overseeing the safe operation of commercial nuclear power reactors. Refer to http://www.nrc.gov/NRR/OVERSIGHT/ASSESS/index.html for more information. NRC and self-revealed findings, violations, and additional items are summarized in the table below.

List of Findings and Violations Failure to Adequately Load Emergency Diesel Generator (EDG) During 24-Hour Endurance Test Cornerstone Significance Cross-cutting Aspect Report Section Mitigating Green NCV [H.9] - Training 71152 - Problem Systems05000424/2018002-01 Identification and Opened/Closed Resolution An NRC-identified Green NCV of Vogtle Nuclear Station TS, Section 5.4.1.a, Procedures, was identified for the licensees failure to implement the EDG 24-hour endurance surveillance procedure 14668A-1, Train A Diesel Generator Operability Test, revision 7.2, to operate the EDG as close as practicable to 3390 kVAR. Specifically, the licensee failed to carry out procedure steps and provisions that would assist in loading the EDG closer to the TS value of 3390 kVAR. The failure to follow procedure 14668A-1 and get as close as practicable to 3390 kVAR was a performance deficiency.

High Vibrations on Unit 2 NSCW Pump No. 3 Result in Pump Inoperability Cornerstone Significance Cross-cutting Aspect Report Section Mitigating Green NCV [H.6] - Design Margins 71152 - Problem Systems05000424/2018002-02 Identification and Opened/Closed Resolution An NRC-identified Green NCV of 10 CFR 50 Appendix B, Criterion III, Design Control, was identified for the licensees failure to ensure that design control measures for the Unit 2 train A (2A) nuclear service cooling water (NSCW) pump no. 3 motor replacement, conducted in May 2015, adequately evaluated and addressed structural resonance of the pump, commensurate with the original pumps. As a result, the pump operated at higher than desired vibrations, since installation, causing accelerated bearing wear and premature failure of the motor in February 2018. The licensees failure to ensure that design control measures for the 2A NSCW pump no. 3 motor replacement adequately evaluated and addressed structural resonance of the pump, commensurate with the original pumps was a performance deficiency.

PLANT STATUS

Unit 1 operated at or near 100 percent rated thermal power (RTP) for the entire inspection period.

Unit 2 operated at or near 100 percent RTP for the entire inspection period.

INSPECTION SCOPES

Inspections were conducted using the inspection procedure (IP) in effect at the beginning of the inspection unless otherwise noted.

INSPECTION RESULTS

Failure to Adequately Load EDG During 24-Hour Endurance Test Cornerstone Significance Cross-cutting Aspect Report Section Mitigating Green NCV [H.9] - Training

71152 - Problem Systems05000424/2018002-01

Identification and Opened/Closed Resolution An NRC-identified Green NCV of Vogtle Nuclear Station TS, Section 5.4.1.a, Procedures, was identified for the licensees failure to implement the EDG 24-hour endurance surveillance procedure 14668A-1, Train A Diesel Generator Operability Test, revision 7.2, to operate the EDG as close as practicable to 3390 kVAR. Specifically, the licensee failed to implement procedure steps and provisions that would assist in loading the EDG closer to the TS value of 3390 kVAR. The failure to follow procedure 14668A-1 and get as close as practicable to 3390 kVAR was a performance deficiency.

Description:

The 24-hour endurance test for the EDGs demonstrate the machines long-term operational readiness to assume the design basis accident (DBA) loads. Operation at these conditions heats the electric conductors and magnetic frame in the machine and demands maximum output from support systems.

During the week of February 4, 2018, the inspectors observed portions of the 1A EDG 24-hour endurance test in accordance 14668A-1, Train A Diesel Generator Operability Test, revision 7.2. This surveillance was conducted every 18 months to satisfy Technical Specification (TS) Surveillance Requirement (SR) 3.8.1.13, which required, in part, that the licensee verify each EDG operates for 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> as close as practicable to 3390 kVAR, while maintaining voltage at the 1E 4160V bus less than or equal to 4330V. This reactive loading (3390kVARs) is representative of the actual inductive loading that the EDG would experience during DBA conditions.

The inspectors reviewed the test results, following completion of the test on February 6, 2018, and noted that the reactive loading on the 1A EDG was maintained at approximately one-third (1150-1250 kVAR) of the TS required loading for the duration of the test. Procedure 14668A-1 Step 5.1.11.b required the operators to establish reactive load as close to 3390 kVAR as possible, while maintaining a bus voltage of less than 4326V. After achieving kVARs as close to 3390, while maintaining 4326V or less, the procedure has operators verify that the voltage at the downstream 480V AC switchgear buses is less than 506V. If voltage is greater than 506V the procedure provided the operators with the following three actions to restore voltage within limits.

(1) adjusting kVARs (i.e. by lowering generator output voltage),

(2) placing more loads on the 1E 480V switchgear, and

(3) requesting the system controller to lower grid voltage.

The inspectors noted that the operators only performed the first action (adjust kVARs) during the test and marked the other two as not applicable (N/A). The inspectors determined that not conducting actions

(2) and

(3) first before simply lowering generator voltage, and consequently KVARs, was not consistent with establishing a reactive load as close as practicable to 3390 kVAR. Placing more loads on the 1E 480V AC switchgear and requesting system controller to lower grid voltage, if possible, would reduce the 480V switchgear bus voltage to less than 506V and allow for a higher kVAR loading on the EDG.

These actions would be consistent with the procedure in order to satisfy the as close as practicable TS requirement. The inspectors also noted that operators logged a maximum voltage of 4300V during the 24-hour surveillance and did not attempt to go higher, closer to the TS limit, in order to maximize reactive load.

The inspectors also determined that the use of less accurate instrumentation on the EDG control board in the main control room versus the more accurate and readily available readings from the integrated plant computer (IPC) limited the operators from attaining a reactive load closer to 3390 kVAR. The inspectors communicated their concerns to the licensee and the concerns were captured in the corrective action program as condition report 10462412. On February 19, 2018, the licensee conducted another scheduled 24-hour endurance surveillance on the 1B EDG. This time the operators implemented all procedural measures, to attain the required reactive load which resulted in a reactive load much closer to the TS value.

The inspectors conducted a review of the last four 24-hour endurance surveillances for each EDG to determine how the licensee had historically conducted the test with respect to attaining, as close as practicable, the design basis reactive load. The inspectors noted that the reactive load, on only a few instances, was close to the 3390 kVAR TS requirement. For the majority of the surveillances the kVAR loading ranged between 500 to 2000 kVARs with the steps listed in section 4.1.14.d marked as N/A and did not use IPC instrumentation.

Corrective Action(s): The licensee entered these issues in their corrective action program to provide operator training on as close as practicable expectations to achieve the required reactive load. The licensee also revised the EDG surveillance procedures to include better guidance and clarification of the requirements for kVAR loading.

Corrective Action References: CRs 10462412, 10475251, 10516149, and 10518082.

Performance Assessment:

Performance Deficiency: The failure to fully implement procedure 14668A-1 and get as close as practicable to 3390 kVAR was a performance deficiency.

Screening: The Performance Deficiency (PD) was more than minor because if left uncorrected, it would have the potential to lead to a more significant safety concern.

Specifically, if left uncorrected, the PD could result in the licensee not detecting an issue with the EDG that would prevent it from running with a full load for the required time during accident conditions. In addition, this PD was identified for multiple test performances on all four EDGs at the site.

Significance: The inspectors assessed the significance of the finding using Exhibit 2, Mitigating Systems Screening Questions, of Inspection Manual Chapter (IMC) 0609, Appendix A, The Significance Determination Process (SDP) for Findings At- Power, issued June 19, 2012. The finding was of very low safety significance (i.e. Green) because the performance deficiency affected the qualification of the EDG, but the EDG maintained its operability and functionality. The licensee performed an evaluation and determined it had reasonable assurance that the EDGs were operable and able to perform their safety function.

Cross-cutting Aspect: The finding was assigned a cross cutting aspect of Training, because the licensee did not ensure they had a knowledgeable, technically competent workforce regarding the loading requirements for the EDG 24-hour endurance run. The licensee entered this issue into their CAP and conducted training with all operators on the EDG loading requirements and TS requirements for the EDG 24-hour endurance run. (H.9)

Enforcement:

Violation: Technical Specification 5.4.1.a, "Procedures," required, in part, that written procedures covering the applicable procedures recommended in Appendix A to Regulatory Guide 1.33, "Quality Assurance Program Requirements," of February 1978, shall be implemented. Appendix A, Item 8 required, in part, that specific procedures for surveillance tests should be written for Emergency Power Tests.

Contrary to the above, on February 6, 2018, the licensee failed to properly implement the 1A EDG 24-hour operability test. Specifically, the licensee failed to control kVAR as close as practicable to 3390 while maintaining 4326V or less by utilizing steps given in the procedure.

Disposition: This violation is being treated as an NCV, consistent with Section 2.3.2.a of the Enforcement Policy.

High Vibrations on Unit 2 NSCW Pump No. 3 Result in Pump Inoperability Cornerstone Significance Cross-cutting Aspect Report Section Mitigating Green NCV [H.6] - Design Margins

71152 - Problem Systems05000425/2018002-02

Identification and Opened/Closed Resolution

Introduction:

An NRC identified Green NCV of 10 CFR 50 Appendix B, Criterion III, Design Control, was identified for the licensees failure to ensure that design control measures for the Unit 2 train A (2A) nuclear service cooling water (NSCW) pump no. 3 motor replacement, conducted in May 2015, adequately evaluated and addressed structural resonance of the pump, commensurate with the original pumps. As a result, the pump operated at higher than desired vibrations, since installation, causing accelerated bearing wear and premature failure of the motor in February 2018.

Description:

The ultimate heat sink for each unit at VEGP consists of two trains (A and B)of NSCW. Each train has three 50-percent capacity pumps, two of which are in-service during normal plant operations. Between January 12, 2018, and February 27, 2018, the licensee experienced a rapid increasing trend of motor vibrations for the 2A NSCW pump no. 3. The pump had been under increased monitoring since its motor was replaced in May 2015, due to elevated vibrations. On January 12, vibrations at the motor upper perpendicular test point were at 0.32 inches per second (ips). On February 9, vibrations increased to 0.51 ips and on February 27, 2018 they increased to 0.66 ips. With the in-service test (IST) required Action limit at 0.7 ips, the licensee declared the pump inoperable because it did not have reasonable assurance the pump would be capable of performing its safety function for its 30-day mission time. This issue was entered into the licensees corrective action program (CAP) under corrective action report (CAR) 273164 to conduct a causal analysis evaluation.

The licensee determined the cause of the motor failure was due to internal loosening caused by continued operation at elevated vibrations. Additionally, since installation in 2015 the motors rotational speed was near the pump-motor structure natural frequency (NF). Motor internal loosening led to unbalancing of the motor and shifted the motor-pump NF response closer to the motors rotational speed. This resulted in elevated resonance vibration, causing accelerated bearing wear and potential damage. Rotational speed near a pump-motor structure NF amplifies normal equipment vibration and will result in damaging vibration levels.

The 2A NSCW pump no. 3 motor was procured in 2014, as a spare NSCW motor, to facilitate refurbishment of all NSCW pump motors. The motor was not a like-for-like replacement and required engineering evaluation to ensure it met the requirements of the original motors. New motor differences included changes in motor weight, dimensions, cooling line connections, center of gravity, electrical performance, seismic qualification, etc. Additionally, an initial evaluation of the new motor-pump NF response identified it was 2.7-percent (%) below the motor operating speed. Historical data for the NSCW pumps showed that vibrations were generally acceptable when the NF was more than 5% below the motor rotational speed. The new motor would need installation of a calming mass to achieve an acceptable separation margin. The licensee evaluated the acceptability of the new motor under configuration change evaluation (CCE) SNC620017. The evaluation determined the motor could only be installed at the 2A NSCW pump no. 3 without adding a calming mass. This pump was unique in that its discharge piping had welded stiffeners that were expected to result in acceptable NF to rotational speed separation margins. Specifically, NF response analysis predicted the NF would be 11% above the motor rotational speed at this pump location. The inspectors noted that the post-installation vibration and NF test results identified higher than desired vibrations at the motor upper perpendicular direction. Also, NF testing confirmed the vibrations were due to structural resonance. Specifically, NF response was just 3.8% above the motor rotational speed, significantly lower than expected and within the 5% margin historically acceptable for the original NSCW pumps. The NF and vibration test report documented recommendations to resolve the resonant conditions; however, the pump was restored to service at the higher than desired vibrations without addressing the resonant condition based on vibration limits being just below the IST Alert levels (0.325ips at the bearing housing) at 0.3ips. The inspectors noted the as-left motor vibrations exceeded the maximum coupled and uncoupled permissible vibrations limits specified in the documented vendor technical manual, 2X4AF02-00236, NSCW Pump Motor Unit 2 NSCW Pump 3 Instruction Manual and Renewal Parts List, version 1.0. Specifically, the maximum permissible vibration on the motor housing, uncoupled, was 0.2 ips; measured vibrations were at 0.25 ips. Maximum permissible vibration while coupled and fully loaded was 0.3ips; measured vibrations were at 0.38 ips. Additionally, the inspectors noted that two weeks after the pump was returned to service the IST vibration levels had exceeded the IST Alert limits at 0.359ips. The pump remained under increased vibration monitoring until it failed after 33 months in service, approximately 16,000 hours0 days <br />0 hours <br />0 weeks <br />0 months <br /> of operation.

The inspectors determined the licensee failed to adequately evaluate the NF to motor rotational speed margin for the new motor against historical operating experience with the original NSCW motors. This was required by the licensees CCE Contents Form, NMP-ES-084-001-F20 section A.7. Specifically, this section required documentation of applicable internal and external experience, including the mitigation strategy incorporated into the modification to ensure similar events would not occur. The as-left separation margin wasnt just less than what had been historically acceptable for the original NSCW pumps, it was also in the positive direction (i.e., above the motor rotational speed instead of below). This was non-conservative because normal equipment wear would naturally lower the NF closer to the motor rotational speed as the equipment becomes less stiff over time. Additionally, this low margin in combination with elevated vibrations did not demonstrate that vibrations would remain acceptable over the full range of design conditions, such as, lower pump suction water levels, higher water temperatures, and emergency diesel generators alternating power (AC) frequency allowances during accident conditions which could narrow the separation margin to unacceptable levels.

Corrective Action(s): The licensee refurbished the 2A NSCW pump motor no. 3 and implemented a design change that added a calming mass atop of the motor. This provided a NF to motor rotational speed margin of approximately 11% and reasonably lower and acceptable vibration levels. The pump was returned to service on May 7, 2018.

Corrective Action Reference(s): CAR 273164

Performance Assessment:

Performance Deficiency: The licensees failure ensure design control measures for the 2A NSCW pump no. 3 motor replacement, in May 2015, adequately evaluated and addressed structural resonance of the pump, commensurate with the original pumps was a performance deficiency.

Screening: The performance deficiency was more than minor because it adversely affected the reliability of the Unit 2 NSCW system. Furthermore, the pump remained out-of-service for approximately 2 months for motor repairs and design changes.

Significance: The inspectors assessed the significance of the finding using Exhibit 2, Mitigating Systems Screening Questions, of Inspection Manual Chapter (IMC) 0609, Appendix A, The Significance Determination Process (SDP) for Findings At- Power, issued June 19, 2012. The finding was of very low safety significance (i.e. Green) because although the performance deficiency affected the operability of the Unit 2 NSCW pump no. 3, it did not result in an actual loss of safety system function, and it did not represent a loss of function of more than one train for more than its TS allowed outage time or greater than 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />.

Cross-cutting Aspect: The finding was assigned a cross cutting aspect of Design Margins, because the licensee did not maintain acceptable NF to motor rotational speed separation margins. (H.6)

Enforcement:

Violation: 10 CFR 50 Appendix B Criterion III, Design Control, required, in part, that design changes shall be subject to design control measures commensurate with those applied to the original design.

Contrary to the above, since replacement of the 2A NSCW pump no.3 motor in May 2015, the licensee failed to subject the U2 NSCW pump no. 3 motor replacement to design control measures commensurate with those applied to the original motors. Specifically, design control measures for the replacement motor did not ensure sufficient separation between the motor-pump NF and the operating speed of the motor, commensurate with the original NSCW motors, to prevent a resonant condition. As a result, high vibrations resulted in accelerated bearing wear and premature failure of the motor in February 2018.

Disposition: This violation is being treated as an NCV, consistent with Section 2.3.2.a of the Enforcement Policy.

EXIT MEETINGS AND DEBRIEFS

The inspectors verified no proprietary information was retained or documented in this report.

• On July 16, 2018, the inspectors presented the quarterly resident inspector inspection results to Mr. Daniel Komm, and other members of the licensee staff.
