PLANT STATUS
The plant operated at, or near, full power from January 1, 2018, until February 24, 2018, when
power was lowered to approximately 60 percent power to perform a rod sequence exchange
and to perform corrective maintenance on the steam system. The plant returned to full power
on February 25, 2018, and remained at, or near, full power for the remainder of the inspection
period with minor reductions in power to support routine surveillances.
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. Samples were declared
complete when the IP requirements most appropriate to the inspection activity were met
consistent with Inspection Manual Chapter (IMC) 2515, Light-Water Reactor Inspection
Program - Operations Phase. The inspectors performed plant status activities described
in IMC 2515 Appendix D, Plant Status and conducted routine reviews using IP 71152,
Problem Identification and Resolution. The inspectors reviewed selected procedures and
records, observed activities, and interviewed personnel to assess licensee performance and
compliance with Commission rules and regulations, license conditions, site procedures, and
standards.

INSPECTION RESULTS
71152Problem Identification and Resolution
Observation 71152Semi-Annual Trend Review
The licensee and other external organizations noted several trends during reviews of
activities, events, and issues that occurred in the last six months of 2017. Two trends stood
out. The first was that the causes of important recurring issues were not broadly investigated.
The trend also questioned if remaining planned actions were sufficient to arrest the issues.
The result has been longstanding performance issues in the areas of controlling foreign
material, industrial safety, chemical control, and lifting and rigging. The second trend was
more broadly focused on procedure use and adherence, which the inspectors determined
from two more narrowly focused trends identified by the licensee. These two trends were
shortfalls in the application of maintenance fundamentals contributing to some recent
operational challenges and workers did not always recognize the importance of conscious
implementation of error prevention techniques during planned daily activities. The results
were unplanned entries into Technical Specification limiting condition of operations action
statements, increased potential for damage to equipment, missed Technical Specification
surveillance requirements, unavailability of safety systems, material falling into open fuel
pools, improper dose control, and preventable injuries. Each issue was minor in terms of
significance, but, when reviewed in aggregate, revealed a trend in behaviors that might lead to
more significant issues in the future. The inspectors determined that the licensee had and
continued to take actions to address the identified issues and the behaviors that contributed to
the trends.
Observation 71152Annual Follow-Up of Selected
Issues
For each sample documented in this inspection report (IR), the inspectors confirmed that both
the actions taken and the actions planned by the licensee were appropriate based on the
individual circumstances identified in the condition reports. Specifically, for the Flex
equipment maintained in Storage Bay No. 2, the licensee removed the diesel fuel from the
N+1 air compressor to prevent the diesel fuel from gumming up the injectors at reduced
temperatures. In addition, the licensee developed an action plan to install heaters in the
storage bay to maintain temperatures above 40 degrees Fahrenheit before the onset of
extremely cold weather in the fall of 2018. For the flooding concerns, the licensee has
updated the calculations regarding the effects of internal flooding in the Control Complex 620
elevation switchgear rooms for the fire water piping that was not previously accounted for.
The new calculations showed that additional water would not adversely affect the equipment
in the switchgear rooms.
71153Follow-Up of Events and Notices of Enforcement Discretion
Failure to Notify the NRC within 60 Days of a Condition Prohibited by Technical Specifications
Cornerstone Severity Cross-Cutting Aspect Report
Section
Not Applicable Severity Level IV Not Applicable 71153
Closed
The inspectors identified a Severity Level IV Non-Cited Violation of 10 CFR 50.73, Licensee
Event Report System, for the licensees failure to report a condition that was prohibited by
the plants Technical Specifications to the NRC within 60 days. Specifically, the licensee did
not report a condition that, as determined by the NRC, rendered the Division 2 DG inoperable
for a period longer than the Technical Specification allowed completion times of its associated
required actions.
Description:
In a letter dated August 24, 2017 (IR 05000440/2017010; ML17236A187), the NRC provided
the final significance determination of the preliminary White finding discussed in NRC
IR 05000440/2017009, dated June 5, 2017 (ML17156A750). The August 24 letter and its
enclosures document the NRCs position that a performance deficiency associated with a
diode installation on the Division 2 DG emergency start circuit rendered the DG inoperable
from April 2, 2015 until November 8, 2016. Technical Specification 3.8.1 allow a 14-day
completion time to restore an inoperable D
- G. If the DG is not restored in 14 days, there are
required actions to be in Mode 3 and Mode 4 with completion times of 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br /> and 36 hours4.166667e-4 days <br />0.01 hours <br />5.952381e-5 weeks <br />1.3698e-5 months <br />
respectively. Since the DG was not restored within the required completion times and the
plant was not in Mode 3 with the next 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br />, the NRC determined that a violation of the
Technical Specifications occurred. As such, the inspectors determined a License Event
Report (LER) for a condition which was prohibited by the plants Technical Specifications was
required. An LER is required if a condition existed for a time longer than permitted by the TS
(i.e., greater than the total allowed restoration and shutdown outage time (or completion time
in the STS)), even if the condition was not discovered until after the allowable time had
elapsed and the condition was rectified immediately upon discovery.
Although the NRC documented the violation of a condition prohibited by the plants Technical
Specifications in an IR, a LER is still required. NUREG 1022 provides additional guidance for
such a situation. Despite the fact the NRC identified a reportable event or condition to the
licensee via inspection activities, Section 2.6 of the NUREG states, in part, that such
conditions do not satisfy 10 CFR 50.73. The regulations in 10 CFR 50.73 specifically require
a submittal of a written LER for an event or condition that meets the criteria stated in those
rules. Therefore, a LER was required within 60 days of August 24, 2017, the date of the final
significance determination letter. No LER was submitted until March, 2018.
Corrective Action: The licensee submitted LER 05000440/2018-001-00 on
March 28, 2018.
Corrective Action Reference: CR 2018-01763
Performance Assessment:
The inspectors determined this violation was associated with a minor performance deficiency.
Enforcement:
The Reactor 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.
Violation: Title 10 CFR 50.73(a)(2)(i)(B), Licensee Event Report System, requires, in part
that the licensee shall report any operation or condition which was prohibited by the plants
Technical Specifications within 60 days of discovery of the condition.
Contrary to the above, the licensee failed to notify the NRC within 60 days of receiving the
final determination that the licensee was in a condition prohibited by technical specifications.
Specifically, as determined by the NRC on August 24, 2017, the Division 2 DG was
inoperable from April 2, 2015, until November 8, 2016, which exceeded the allowed
completion times. The licensee did not submit the LER until March 28, 2018.
Severity: IV
Disposition: This violation is being treated as a NCV, consistent with Section 2.3.2 of the
EXIT MEETINGS AND DEBRIEFS
The inspectors confirmed that proprietary information was controlled to protect from public
disclosure. No proprietary information was documented in this report.
- On March 30, 2018, an interim exit meeting was conducted for the inspection results of the
Radiation Safety Program review with Mr.
- F. Payne, Plant General Manager, and other
members of the licensee staff.
- On April 4, 2018, the inspector presented the resident inspector quarterly report inspection
results to Mr. D. Hamilton and other members of the licensee staff.
