PLANT STATUS
Unit 1 began the inspection period operating at full power. Apart from minor reductions in power to support scheduled testing activities, load changes requested by the transmission dispatcher, and coast down in preparation for a planned refueling outage, the unit remained at or near full power. On September 13, 2021, the unit began a refueling outage. The unit went critical again on September 30, 2021. The unit was returned to full power on October 6, 2021.
Unit 2 began the inspection period operating at full power. Apart from minor reductions in power to support scheduled testing activities or small load changes requested by the transmission dispatcher, the unit remained at or near full power for the entire 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. 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 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.
Starting on March 20, 2020, in response to the National Emergency declared by the President of the United States on the public health risks of the coronavirus (COVID-19), resident and regional inspectors were directed to begin telework and to remotely access licensee information using available technology. During this time, the resident inspectors performed periodic site visits each week, increasing the amount of time on-site as local COVID-19 conditions permitted.
As part of their on-site activities, resident inspectors conducted plant status activities as described in IMC 2515, Appendix D, Plant Status, and conducted routine reviews using IP
===71152, Problem Identification and Resolution, observed risk significant activities; and completed on-site portions of IPs. In addition, resident and regional baseline inspections were evaluated to determine if all or a portion of the objectives and requirements stated in the IP could be performed remotely. If the inspections could be performed remotely, they were conducted per the applicable IP. In some cases, portions of an IP were completed remotely and on-site. The inspections documented below met the objectives and requirements for completion of the IP.

INSPECTION RESULTS
URI Main Steam Safety Valve Room Structural Acceptance 71111.21M Criteria URI 05000454,05000455/2021011-03
Description:
Calculation No. 5.6.3, "Safety Valve Room Analysis and Design", Revision 5, evaluated the valve room concrete wall and slab sections for load combinations including compartment pressurization due to a main steam line break. In parts of the calculation, an acceptance limit of Fy (yield strength = 60 ksi) was used for checking adequacy of the reinforcing steel, while in other parts of the same calculation as well as in other similar calculations, a more restrictive limit of 0.9Fy (= 54 ksi) was used. The URI was opened due to a concern whether the use of Fy limit provided adequate margin consistent with the design basis. For the URI closure, inspectors reviewed the licensee response to the questions and independently reviewed the applicable parts of the UFSAR as well as the design code.
UFSAR Section 3.8.4, Other Seismic Category I Structures, is applicable to the Safety Valve Room structural design. Section 3.8.4.5.1 which describes the Structural Acceptance Criteria for reinforced concrete design states, in part, that the stresses and strains of various structural components are based on the ultimate strength design provisions in ACI-318 and that the margin of safety is contained in the capacity reduction factor (denoted by Greek letter "phi") specified in the code. It also states that the Byron/Braidwood Stations comply with portions of ACI-349 which are based on ACI 318. ACI-318 editions listed under Table 3.8-2 are 71, 77, and 83. A review of the calculation showed that the moment capacities of concrete sections were checked based on factored loads using the principles and method described in the ACI 318 code and the required margin was provided by increasing the factored loads to account for the capacity reduction factor (phi = 0.9). Methodologies described in the ACI-318 and the ACI-349 require use of steel yield strength combined with a limiting concrete strain of
.003 for determination of the concrete section moment capacity.
Application of another 0.9 factor to Fy was therefore redundant but conservative. It was not included in the original calculations but was used in some instances during updates of certain sections. It was also noted that a
.9 Fy limit is specified in the UFSAR for design of
containment and internal structures and that may have caused the inconsistency. Based on the above discussion, it is concluded that the use of Fy as limiting steel stress in the subject calculation is consistent with the design basis and therefore this URI is closed without identification of any finding or violation.
Enforcement Enforcement Action EA-21-143: Failure to Comply with 10 CFR 71124.08 Discretion Part 37
Description:
On April 27, 2016, the licensee was issued NRC Inspection Report Nos. 05000454/2016406 and 05000455/2016406, which documented a licensee identified violation of 10 CFR Part 37, Physical Protection of Category 1 and Category 2, Quantities of Radioactive Material at Facilities with a 10 CFR Part 73, Physical Protection Program. The violation met the criteria for Enforcement Discretion as described in Enforcement Guidance Memorandum (EGM)14-001, "Interim Guidance for Dispositioning 10 CFR Part 37 Violations with Respect to Large Components or Robust Structures Containing Category 1 or Category 2 Quantities of Material at Power Reactor Facilities Licensed Under 10 CFR Parts 50 and 52."
Subsequently, the inspectors re-evaluated this activity and found that while a violation of regulatory requirements continues to exist, the conditions remain within the criteria for enforcement discretion established within EGM 14-001.
Corrective Actions: As specified in EGM 14-001, the application of discretion is authorized until the underlying technical issue is dispositioned through rulemaking or other regulatory action. Additional corrective actions are not required.
Corrective Action References: Not Applicable.

Violation: On April 27, 2016 a violation of 10 CFR Part 37 was documented in Byron Inspection Report Nos. 05000454/2016406 and 05000455/2016406. The inspectors determined that the previously identified violation remains.
Basis for Discretion: This violation met the criteria for Enforcement Discretion as described in Enforcement Guidance Memorandum (EGM) 14-001, "Interim Guidance for Dispositioning 10 CFR Part 37 Violations with Respect to Large Components or Robust Structures Containing Category 1 or Category 2 Quantities of Material at Power Reactor Facilities Licensed Under 10 CFR Parts 50 and 52."
Observation: Thermal Sleeves 71152 The inspectors performed a detailed review of IR 4447364; B1R24 CRDM Thermal Sleeve Metrology and VT-1 Exam Results.
The sample selected was associated with a 10 CFR Part 21 notification to the NRC (Westinghouse LTR-NRC-19-79, dated December 12, 2019; ADAMS Accession No.
ML19346H873) and additional information on the 10 CFR Part 21 in Nuclear Safety Advisory Letter (NSAL) NSAL-20-1, "Reactor Vessel Head Control Rod Drive Mechanism Penetration Thermal Sleeve Cross-Sectional Failure" dated February 14, 2020 (ADAMS Accession No.
ML20063J583). The specific issue was associated with mechanical fatigue and fracture that leads to flange separation of thermal sleeves in the CRDM penetration tubes which could have a safety consequence that was not previously considered. In addition, the sample was associated with NSAL-18-1, Thermal Sleeve Flange Wear Leads to Stuck Control Rod, July 9, 2018 (ADAMS Accession No. ML18198A275). The specific issue was associated with thermal sleeve flange wear that leads to complete flange separation of the thermal sleeves which may prevent control rod insertion. PWROG-16003-P, Evaluation of Potential Thermal Sleeve Flange Wear, Revision 2 provides acceptance criteria for evaluation of thermal sleeve flange wear associated with NSAL 18-1.
The licensee performed an evaluation of the actual thermal sleeve wear measurements taken at thermal sleeve penetrations during the Fall Unit 1 2021 outage versus the NSAL-20-1 lowering criteria. In addition, the licensee performed an evaluation of the thermal sleeve at penetration 30 and 34 which lowered beyond the NSAL-20-1 lowering criteria. VT-1 visual examinations were performed on Penetrations 30, 34, 37, and 35 in accordance with NSAL-20-1 criteria. No recordable or relevant indications (i.e., cracking) were identified.
Also, the licensee performed an evaluation of the wear before complete flange separation occurs for Penetrations 30 and 34 and the PWROG-16003-P, Revision 2 acceptance criteria was met. The inspectors reviewed the evaluations and consulted with technical staff from the Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation (NRR). No findings or violations were identified.
Observation: Vulnerability in post-maintenance testing related to the 0B 71152 Essential Service Water Makeup Pump On August 12, 2021, the NRC observed 0B Essential Service Water Makeup Pump testing. The pump was declared inoperable for testing at 1124; TS 3.7.9 Action Condition F was entered for 0BOSR 7.9.6-2, Essential Service Water Makeup Pump 0B Monthly Operability Surveillance and 0BOSR 5.5.8.SX.5-2c, Unit 0 Comprehensive IST Requirements for Essential Service Water Makeup Pump 0B. During the comprehensive, final part of the test, gearbox oil temperature indication was steadily increasing. The field operators reported the condition to the control room. The rising indication was then closely monitored as the test was completed. The indication came within 8 degrees of its limit. The tests were annotated as "Complete Sat," and Condition F was exited at 1303.
Due to crediting a safety related test with an uncertain temperature indication, the inspectors reviewed the licensees recent CAP products related to 0TE-SX178B, Essential Service Water Makeup Pump Gear Oil RTD. Instrument problems were documented in 4259629 and 4339213, from 2019 and 2020 respectively. Subsequently, the element was replaced in 2019, but the old RTD was tested and found to work normally. The issue from 2020 was closed to a work request. Following the August test, the licensee initiated 4440377 and prompted an existing work order, 5002723 to effect repair. Workers found and cleaned a high resistance connection for 0TE-SX178B. Additionally, they replaced the failed open 0TE-SX177B Essential Service Water Makeup Pump Water RTD. Post-maintenance testing was only an instrument calibration.
In the observed test, the faulty gearbox oil temperature readings were taken in support a GL 89-13 commitment. The related CAP review suggests that a timelier resolution of this problem could have resulted had the licensee perform a more comprehensive investigation and assessment of the 2019 and 2020 issues. There were no findings or violations of NRC requirements identified in the course of this review.
Observation: Potential Adverse Trend in Work Package Completion 71152 The inspectors performed a semi-annual review of the licensee's corrective action program over six months for adverse trends in work package completion.
- 4413082 NRC ID: Improper Work Order Closure 3/31/2021 (8 ACITs)
- 4413530 NRC ID: Incorrect Megger Calculations, 4/1/2021 (2 MREQs)
- 4423176 Three taped joints not repaired during SAT 242-2 Outage, 5/12/2021 (2 ACITs, HURB, & ANLY)
- 4428225 Fabricated Clamp not Inspected, 6/8/2021 (ACIT, HURB, & ANLY)
- 4430638 NRC ID: Sign offs missing in 1 AF-018 Loop Cal Package, 6/21/2021 (6 ACITs, HURB, & PCRA)
- 4438077 NRC 1D: 1B EDG Flex Coupling PM Credited Incorrectly, 7/30/2021 (3 ACITs)
The licensee has identified a related trend and entered it into their CAP as 4431360, Trend Identified in Maintenance Work Package Closure Gaps. The inspectors determined the licensee appropriately followed their corrective action process and did not identify any significant trends that might indicate the existence of a more significant safety concern. While none of these issues individually rose to the level of being documented as a finding, taken in aggregate the inspectors found that they could suggest a generic level of distraction within the licensee's workforce as it relates to quality checks of work package completion.
