Dear Mr. Crane:

On March 31, 2005, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed an integrated inspection at your Byron Station, Units 1 and 2. The enclosed report documents the inspection findings which were discussed on April 10, 2006, with Mr. Dave Hoots and other members of your staff.

The inspection examined activities conducted under your license as they relate to safety and compliance with the Commissions rules and regulations and with the conditions of your license.

The inspectors reviewed selected procedures and records, observed activities, and interviewed personnel.

Based on the results of this inspection, one NRC-identified and one self-revealed findings of very low safety significance (Green) are documented in this report. Both of these findings were determined to involve a violation of NRC requirements. Because these violations were of very low safety significance and because the issues were entered into your corrective action program, the NRC is treating these findings as Non-Cited Violations in accordance with Section VI.A.1 of the NRCs Enforcement Policy.

If you contest the subject or severity of a Non-Cited Violation, you should provide a response within 30 days of the date of this inspection report, with the basis for your denial, to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, ATTN: Document Control Desk, Washington, D.C.

SUMMARY OF FINDINGS

IR 05000454/2006002; 05000455/2006002; on 01/01/2006-03/31/2006; Byron Station,

Units 1 and 2; Maintenance Risk Assessments and Emergent Work Control, Identification and Resolution of Problems.

This report covers a 3 month period of baseline resident inspection and announced baseline inspections on radiation protection. The inspections were conducted by resident and inspectors based in the NRC Region III office. Two Green findings, both which were violations of NRC requirements, were identified. The significance of most findings is indicated by their color (Green, White, Yellow, Red) using Inspection Manual Chapter (IMC) 0609, Significance Determination Process (SDP). Findings for which the SDP does not apply may be Green or be assigned a severity level after NRC management review. The NRCs program for overseeing the safe operation of commercial nuclear power reactors is described in NUREG-1649, Reactor Oversight Process, Revision 3, dated July 2000.

A. Inspector-Identified and Self-Revealed Findings

Cornerstone: Barrier Integrity

Green.

A finding of very low safety significance and associated Non-Cited Violation (NCV) of Technical Specification 5.4.1, regarding procedure adherence was inspector identified when the inspectors identified that ventilation barrier requirements were not being met during a routine assessment of work activities in the Unit 2 containment spray pump rooms. Upon identification, the licensee restored the barrier. The primary cause of this violation was related to the cross-cutting area of Human Performance.

This finding was more than minor because it affected the barrier integrity objective to provide reasonable assurance that the physical design barriers to protect the public from radionuclide releases caused by accidents or events. The finding was determined to be of very low safety significance because the issue only represented a degradation of the radiological barrier function provided for the auxiliary building. (Section 1R13).

Green.

A finding of very low safety significance and associated NCV of Technical Specifications 5.4.1, Procedures, was self-revealed. Specifically, licensee personnel conducted unauthorized troubleshooting activities after an abnormal flow condition was encountered during Reactor Coolant System sampling activities and did not report the condition to shift operations promptly. These troubleshooting activities were not allowed by the chemistry sampling, procedures use and adherence, and corrective action program procedures. Shift operations learned about the condition 2 days later and subsequently declared the pressurizer liquid sample containment isolation valves inoperable and completed the required Technical Specification actions. The primary cause of this violation was related to the cross-cutting area of Human Performance.

This finding was more than minor because it affected the human performance attribute of the barrier integrity cornerstone to provide reasonable assurance that physical barriers, specifically the reactor containment, protect the public from radionuclide releases caused by accidents or events. The finding was determined to be of very low safety significance because it did not represent an actual open pathway or involve an actual reduction in defense-in-depth for the pressure control or hydrogen control functions of the reactor containment. (Section 4OA2)

Licensee Identified Violations

None.

1R13 Maintenance Risk Assessments and Emergent Work Control

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors reviewed the licensees management of plant risk during emergent maintenance activities or during activities where more than one significant system or train was unavailable. The inspectors chose activities based on their potential to increase the probability of an initiating event or impact the operation of safety-significant equipment. The inspectors verified that the evaluation, planning, control, and performance of the work were done in a manner to reduce the risk and the work duration was minimized where practical. The inspectors also verified that contingency plans were in place where appropriate.

The inspectors reviewed configuration risk assessment records, UFSAR, TS, and Individual Plant Examination. The inspectors also observed operator turnovers, observed plan-of-the-day meetings, and reviewed other related documents to determine that the equipment configurations had been properly listed, that protected equipment had been identified and was being controlled where appropriate, and that significant aspects of plant risk were being communicated to the necessary personnel. The inspectors verified that the licensee controlled work activities in accordance with the following documents:

  • ER-AA-310, Implementation of the Maintenance Rule, Revision 4;
  • OU-AA-103, Shutdown Safety Management Program, Revision 4;
  • OU-AP-104, Shutdown Safety Management Program, Revision 8;
  • WC-AA-101, On-Line Work Control Process, Revision 11;
  • Byron Operating Department Policy 400-47, February 21, 2006, Revision 9; and

  • Emergent Work on Unit 0 Train A Essential Service Water Make-up Pump and Unit 2 Component Cooling Water Discharge Cross-tie Isolation Valve;
  • Unit 2 Train A Auxiliary Feedwater pump work window while Unit 2 Component Cooling Water pump was in a monthly surveillance;
  • Unit 2 Train A DG testing while Unit 1 Auxiliary Building ventilation fan was out of service; and
  • Unit 2 Train B DG maintenance work window in conjunction with ASME testing of the Unit 2 Train B Containment Spray pump.

The inspectors also reviewed selected issues documented in CRs, to determine if they had been properly addressed in the licensees corrective action program. The documents reviewed during this inspection are listed in the Attachment to this report.

b. Findings

Introduction:

The NRC identified an Non-Cited Violation (NCV) of TS 5.4.1 finding of very low safety significance (Green). Specifically, the inspectors identified that a Plant Barrier Impairment (PBI) was incorrectly written and reviewed resulting in a ventilation barrier being impaired contrary to plant procedure.

Description:

On February 6, 2006, the inspectors were performing a routine assessment of maintenance risk by walking down the areas involved in ongoing maintenance activities. The inspectors noted the door between the Unit 2 Train A Containment Spray Pump Room and the rest of the auxiliary building (door 0DSD246)was secured fully open. At that time work activities were ongoing in the Unit 2 Train B Containment Spray Pump Room and that pump was inoperable; however, no work activities were ongoing in the Unit 2 Train A Containment Spray Pump Room. The licensees procedural requirements for auxiliary building ventilation barrier impairments allowed barriers to be removed only if the equipment was inoperable, or not required by TS. Otherwise, the barrier is limited to a one inch opening. Therefore, the inspectors questioned the as-found condition.

The door was immediately reduced to being open only one inch or less, air flow into the room was verified, and the PBI was corrected. Maintenance personnel in the area were also informed of the revised PBI.

Analysis:

The inspectors determined that the failure to properly control ventilation barrier in accordance with plant procedures was a performance deficiency warranting a significance evaluation. This determination was made in accordance with Inspection Manual Chapter (IMC) 0612 Power Reactor Inspection Reports, Appendix B, Issue Disposition Screening issued on September 30, 2005. The inspectors determined that the finding was more than minor because it affected the barrier integrity objective to provide reasonable assurance that the physical design barriers to protect the public from radionuclide releases caused by accidents or events.

Technical Specification 3.7.12, requires that the difference in air pressure between the Unit 2 Train A Containment Spray Pump Room and the outside atmosphere be less than 0.25 inches of water. The inspectors determined that the finding could be evaluated using the Significance Determination Process (SDP) in accordance with IMC 0609, Significance Determination Process, dated November 22, 2005, because the finding was associated with the Barrier Integrity cornerstone and protection of the auxiliary building integrity. This NRC identified issue was determined to be of very low safety significance (Green) by the significance determination process because the issue only represented a degradation of the radiological barrier function for the auxiliary building.

Enforcement:

Technical Specification 5.4.1 states that written procedures shall be established, implemented and maintained covering the applicable procedures recommended in Regulatory Guide 1.33, Revision 2, Appendix A, February 1978. This includes general procedures for the control of maintenance. Contrary to the above, on February 6, 2006, the inspectors identified that auxiliary building door 0DS0246 was not maintained in the position required by BAP 1100-3, PBI Program, Revision 17, pre-evaluated matrix 3A3, Revision 18.

Because this violation was of very low safety significance and the issue was captured in the licensees corrective action program (CR 451041), this violation is being treated as a Non-Cited Violation consistent with Section VI.A of the NRC Enforcement Policy (NCV 05000454/2006002-01; 05000455/2006002-01).

1R14 Personnel Performance Related to Non-routine Plant Evolutions and Events

  • Operator Response to a Fire in the Unit 1 Refueling Water Storage Tank Tunnel; and
  • Operator Response to Unit 2 Train D Feedwater Flow Channel Malfunction.

The inspectors evaluated crew performance in the areas of:

  • Prioritization, interpretation and verification of alarms; Procedure use;
  • Control board manipulations;
  • Supervisors command and control
  • Management oversight; and
  • Group dynamics.

Crew performance in these areas was compared to licensee management expectations and guidelines as presented in the following documents:

  • OP AA-103-103, Operation of Plant Equipment; and

Additional documents reviewed during this inspection are listed in the Attachment to this report.

b. Findings

No findings of significance were identified.

1R15 Operability Evaluations

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors evaluated plant conditions, selected condition reports, engineering evaluations and operability determinations for risk-significant components and systems in which operability issues were questioned. These conditions were evaluated to determine whether the operability of components was justified.

The inspectors completed five inspection samples by reviewing the following evaluations and issues:

  • Unit 1 Train A Centrifugal Charging Pump Oil Leak;
  • Unit 1 Train B DG Operation with Elevated Air Intake Manifold Temperatures;
  • Unit 2 Train A DG Operation and Operability With Flame-Hardened Pushrods; and

The inspectors compared the operability and design criteria in the appropriate section of the TS including the TS Basis, the Technical Requirements Manual (TRM) and UFSAR to the licensees evaluations to determine that the components or systems were operable. The inspectors determined whether compensatory measures, if needed, were taken, and determined whether the evaluations were consistent with the requirements of licensees Procedure LS-AA-105, Operability Determination Process, Revision 1. The inspectors also discussed the details of the evaluations with the shift managers and appropriate members of the licensees engineering staff.

The inspectors utilized the following references during the completion of their review:

  • NRC Regulatory Issue Summary RIS-05-020, Revision to Guidance Formerly Contained in NRC Generic Letter 91-18, Information to Licensees regarding Two NRC Inspection Manual Sections on Resolution of Degraded and Nonconforming Conditions and on Operability.

The inspectors reviewed these activities to determine that the post maintenance testing was performed adequately, demonstrated that the maintenance was successful, and that operability was restored. During this inspection activity, the inspectors interviewed maintenance and engineering department personnel and reviewed the completed post maintenance testing documentation. The inspectors used the appropriate sections of the TS, TRM, and UFSAR, and other related documents to evaluate this area. The inspectors verified that the licensee controlled post maintenance testing in accordance with the following:

  • BAP 1600-11, Work Request Post Maintenance Testing Guidance, Rev.12; and

The inspectors completed six inspection samples by observing and evaluating the post maintenance testing subsequent to the following maintenance activities:

  • Unit 1 Train B Safety Injection Pump Work Window;
  • Unit 2 Train B DG Following Maintenance;
  • Unit 2 Train B DG 110 percent run;
  • Unit 2 Component Cooling Discharge Cross-tie Isolation Valve 2CC9473A Repair;

RADIATION SAFETY

Cornerstone: Occupational Radiation Safety

2OS1 Access Control to Radiologically Significant Areas (71121.01)

.1 High Risk Significant, High Dose Rate High Radiation Area, and Very High Radiation

Area Controls

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors reviewed the licensees performance indicators for high risk high radiation areas (HRA) and very high radiation areas (VHRA) and observed the placing of a resin filled high integrity container into a shipping cask. Discussions were held with radiation protection (RP) management, concerning high dose rate/HRA and VHRA controls and procedures, including procedural changes that had occurred since the last inspection. This was done to determine if workers were adequately protected from radiological overexposure and whether procedure modifications could have substantially reduced the effectiveness and level of worker protection. This review represented one sample.

The inspectors evaluated the controls including Procedures RP-AA-460; Controls For High And Very High Radiation Areas, Revision 10 and RP-BY-460-1001; High Radiation Area & Locked High Radiation Barrier Guidance (Defense In Depth Strategy),

Revision 2" that were in place for special areas that had the potential to become VHRAs during certain plant operations. Discussions were held with RP supervisors to determine how the required communications between the RP group and other involved groups would occur beforehand in order to allow corresponding timely actions to properly post and control the radiation hazards. This review represented one sample.

During plant walkdowns, the posting and locking of entrances to high dose rate HRAs and VHRAs were reviewed for adequacy. This review represented one sample.

b. Findings

No findings of significance were identified.

2OS2 As Low As Is Reasonably Achievable (ALARA) Planning And Controls (71121.02)

.1 Inspection Planning

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors reviewed plant collective exposure history, current exposure trends along with ongoing and planned activities, in order to assess current performance and exposure challenges. This included determining the plants current 3 year rolling average collective exposure. This review represented one sample.

Site specific trends in collective exposures and source-term measurements were reviewed to evaluate the effect of the plants source term on worker exposure. This review represented one sample.

b. Findings

No findings of significance were identified.

.2 Source-Term Reduction and Control

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors reviewed licensee records to evaluate the historical trends and current status of tracked plant source terms and to determine if the licensee was making allowances and had developed contingency plans for expected changes in the source term due to changes in plant fuel performance issues, or changes in plant primary chemistry. This review represented one sample.

The inspectors reviewed the source term reduction plan to determine if the licensee understood the plant source-term including input mechanisms in order to reduce the source term. The licensees source-term control strategy, which included a process for evaluating radionuclide distribution plus a shutdown and operating chemistry plan, which can minimize the source-term external to the core, was evaluated. Other methods used by the licensee to control the source term, including component/system decontamination, hotspot flushing and the use of shielding, were evaluated. These reviews represented one sample.

The licensees process for identification of specific sources was reviewed along with exposure reduction actions and the priorities the licensee had established for implementation of those actions. Results achieved against these priorities since the last refueling cycle were reviewed to evaluate the effectiveness of the licensees source term reduction program. For the current assessment period, source-term reduction evaluations and actions taken to reduce the overall source-term were reviewed and compared to the previous year. These reviews represented one sample.

b. Findings

No findings of significance were identified.

.3 Declared Pregnant Workers

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors reviewed the licensees procedure and process for monitoring the radiological exposure of declared pregnant workers to determine if the controls complied with the requirements of 10 CFR 20.1208. There were no declared pregnant workers during the assessment period. This review represented one sample.

b. Findings

No findings of significance were identified.

Cornerstone: Public Radiation Safety

2PS1 Radioactive Gaseous And Liquid Effluent Treatment And Monitoring Systems (71122.01)

.1 Inspection Planning

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors reviewed the most recent Radiological Effluent Release Reports for 2003, dated April 30, 2004; and for 2004, dated April 30, 2005, along with current effluent release data to determine if the program was implemented as described in the Radiological Environmental TSs/Offsite Dose Calculation Manual (RETS/ODCM) and UFSAR. The effluent report was also evaluated to determine if there were any significant changes to the ODCM or to the radioactive waste system design and operation. There were no significant changes to the ODCM, and no significant modifications had been made to the design or operation of the radioactive waste system.

The RETS/ODCM and UFSAR were reviewed to identify the effluent radiation monitoring systems and associated flow measurement devices. Licensee records including CRs, self-assessments, audits, and special reports were reviewed to determine if there were any radiological effluent performance indicator occurrences or any unanticipated offsite releases of radioactive material for follow-up. The UFSAR description of all radioactive waste systems was reviewed. This review represented one sample.

b. Findings

No findings of significance were identified.

.2 Onsite Inspection

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors walked down the major accessible components of the gaseous and liquid release systems, including radiation and flow monitors, tanks, and vessels. This was done to observe current system configuration with respect to the description in the UFSAR, ongoing activities, and equipment material condition. This review represented one sample.

The inspectors reviewed system diagrams of the radioactive liquid waste processing and release systems to determine how liquid radwaste was processed. Liquid effluent release packages including projected doses to the public were reviewed to determine if regulatory effluent release limits were exceeded. The inspectors reviewed system diagrams of the radioactive gaseous effluent processing and release systems and observed the collection and analysis of a gaseous radwaste sample to determine if appropriate treatment equipment was used and that the radioactive gaseous effluent was processed and released in accordance with RETS/ODCM requirements.

Radioactive gaseous effluent release data including the projected doses to members of the public was evaluated to determine if regulatory effluent release limits were exceeded. This review represented one sample.

The inspectors reviewed the licensees process for making releases with inoperable effluent radiation monitors to determine if adequate compensatory sampling and analyses was performed and to determine if an adequate defense-in-depth was maintained against an unmonitored, unanticipated release of radioactive material to the environment. This included projected radiological doses to members of the public.

There were no abnormal releases noted. This review represented one sample.

There had been no significant changes made to the ODCM or to the liquid and gaseous radioactive waste system design, procedures, or operation including effluent monitoring and release controls since the last inspection. The inspectors reviewed the licensees verification of the offsite dose calculation software. This review represented one sample.

The inspectors reviewed a selection of monthly, quarterly, and annual dose calculations to ensure that the licensee properly calculated the offsite dose from radiological effluent releases and to determine if any annual RETS/ODCM (i.e., Appendix I to 10 CFR Part 50) values were exceeded. This review represented one sample.

The inspectors reviewed air cleaning system surveillance test results to determine if the system was operating within the licensees acceptance criteria. The inspectors reviewed surveillance test results for the vent flow rates and determined if the flow rates were consistent with UFSAR values. This review represented one sample.

The inspectors reviewed records of instrument calibrations performed since the last inspection for each point of discharge effluent radiation monitor and flow measurement device. The current effluent radiation monitor alarm set point values were reviewed for agreement with RETS/ODCM requirements. The inspectors also reviewed calibration records of radiation measurement (i.e., counting room) instrumentation associated with effluent monitoring and release activities. Quality control data for the radiation measurement instruments were evaluated to determine if the instrumentation was operating under statistical control and that any problems observed were addressed in a timely manner. This review represented one sample.

The inspectors reviewed the results of the interlaboratory comparison program to determine the adequacy of the quality of radioactive effluent sample analyses performed by the licensee. The inspectors reviewed the licensees quality control evaluation of the interlaboratory comparison test results. In addition, the inspectors reviewed the results from the licensees quality assurance audits to determine whether the licensee met the requirements of the RETS/ODCM. This review represented one sample.

b. Findings

No findings of significance were identified. However, the inspectors evaluated the adequacy of the licensees surveillance program for the plant circulating water blow-down line which returns plant cooling water along with batch releases of low level liquid radiological waste to the Rock River. These liquid radiological waste releases conformed to NRC requirements for radioactivity concentrations, were part of the licensees NRC approved effluent release program described in the ODCM, and followed a defined pathway from the site through the blow-down line to the Rock River. Industry experience has shown that the failure of circulating water blow-down line vacuum breakers has resulted in the release of contaminated water into the offsite environment resulting in groundwater contamination. During the inspection, the licensee could not demonstrate that the line was intact. However, the licensee performed a survey of the vacuum breaker vaults. This surveillance demonstrated the presence of water in some of the vaults which indicated that leakage had occurred.

The licensee planned to perform additional inspections on the blow-down line vacuum breaker vaults and to perform analyses for tritium and gamma emitting isotopes on any water found in the vaults. Leakage of water from the blow-down line could result in the release of radioactive material into the environment via a release path that was undefined in the ODCM and had no offsite dose estimates. Therefore, this issue remains under review by the NRC and is categorized as an Unresolved Item (URI),

(URI 05000454/2006002-02;05000455/2006002-02).

.3 Identification and Resolution of Problems

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors reviewed the licensees self assessments, audits, and special reports related to the radioactive effluent treatment and monitoring program since the last inspection to determine if identified problems were entered into the corrective action program for resolution. The inspectors also determined whether the licensee's self-assessment program identified and addressed repetitive deficiencies or significant individual deficiencies that were identified in problem identification and resolution.

The inspectors also reviewed corrective action reports from the radioactive effluent treatment and monitoring program, interviewed staff and reviewed documents to determine if the following activities were being conducted in an effective and timely manner commensurate with their importance to safety and risk:

  • Initial problem identification, characterization, and tracking;
  • Disposition of Operability/reportability issues;
  • Evaluation of safety significance/risk and priority for resolution;
  • Identification of repetitive problems;
  • Identification of contributing causes;
  • Identification and implementation of effective corrective actions;
  • Resolution of non-cited violations tracked in the corrective action system; and
  • Implementation/consideration of risk significant operational experience feedback.

This review represented one sample.

b. Findings

No findings of significance were identified.

2PS2 Radioactive Material Processing and Transportation (71122.02)

.1 Shipment Preparation

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors observed packaging and surveying, and reviewed shipping papers for a spent resin shipment. The inspectors observed radiation worker practices to determine if the workers had adequate skills to accomplish each task, to determine if the shippers were knowledgeable of the shipping regulations and if shipping personnel demonstrated adequate skills to accomplish the package preparation requirements for public transport with respect to NRC Bulletin 79-19 and 49 CFR Part 172 Subpart H. The inspectors determined if the receiving licensee was authorized to receive the shipment package.

This review was conducted to determine if the licensees training program provided training consistent with NRC and Department of Transportation requirements.

This inspection sample was partially completed and will be finished at a later time.

b. Findings

No findings of significance were identified.

OTHER ACTIVITIES

4OA2 Identification and Resolution of Problems

.1 Routine Review of Identification and Resolution of Problems

a. Inspection Scope

As discussed in previous sections of this report, the inspectors routinely reviewed issues during baseline inspection activities and plant status reviews to determine that they were being entered into the licensees corrective action system at an appropriate threshold, that adequate attention was being given to timely corrective actions, and that adverse trends were identified and addressed. Minor issues entered into the licensees corrective action system as a result of inspectors observations are generally denoted in the list of documents reviewed at the back of the report.

b. Findings

No findings of significance were identified.

.2 Selected Issue Follow-up Review - Inadvertent De-boration of the RCS

Introduction:

On October 11, 2005, the Unit 2 RCS experienced an unexpected 30 ppm boron dilution below the target boron concentration of greater than or equal to 1790 ppm. This boron concentration was required to support Digital Rod Position Indication operability testing as specified in the Core Operating Limits Reports. Since the testing had not been started, this reduction in boron concentrated did not adversely challenge established TSs Shutdown Margin limits. However, it indicated a degradation of one or more barriers to proper reactivity management. The inspectors selected this issue as one annual sample of the licensees problem identification and resolution program.

Documents reviewed as part of this inspection are listed in the attachment to this report.

a.

Prioritization and Evaluation of Issues

(1) Inspection Scope The inspectors reviewed the apparent cause evaluation associated with CR 384495 and discussed the evaluation with member of the licensees investigation team. The inspectors compared the evaluation method used to the guidance in the licensees procedures, and discussed the technical aspects of the issue with member of the licensees operation staff. The inspectors considered the licensees evaluation and disposition of performance issues and prioritization of issues. The inspectors also conducted an independent search on the licensees corrective action program database to verify if there were similar event in the past.
(2) Issues In general, the inspectors found that the licensee prioritized and evaluated issues appropriately. The licensee used a TapRoot Root Cause Tree to determine the root cause for each causal factor and the root causes identified were being addressed.

Based on the search on the corrective action program database, the inspectors determined that the licensee had performed an adequate review of previous events in the ACE. No significant issues were identified in this area.

b.

Effectiveness of Corrective Actions

(1) Inspection Scope The inspectors reviewed the correction actions prescribed for each apparent cause to determine if the issues were being resolved promptly and appropriately.
(2) Issues The inspectors determined that the corrective actions addressed the causes that were identified. Although some of the corrective actions were not completed, the inspectors determined that they were appropriate and were being implemented in a timely manner.

No significant issues were identified in this area.

.3 Selected Issue Follow-up Review - Unit 1 Pressurizer Containment Isolation Valves

Leakage

Introduction:

The inspectors identified a Non-Cited Violation of very low safety significance (Green) for failure to follow procedures after an abnormal condition was identified during sampling activities. Specifically, the licensees personnel failed to follow the chemistry sampling, procedure use, and corrective action program procedures when leakage through the Unit 1 pressurizer liquid sample containment isolation valves was identified. As a result, operability evaluation and entry into TS 3.6.3 for the containment isolation valves were not completed in a timely manner. The inspectors determined that this issue was a violation of TS 5.4.1, Procedures.

Description:

On January 23, 2006, at appropriately 9:02 a.m., a chemistry technician was performing daily RCS sampling using chemistry procedure BCP 300-23, Reactor coolant or Pressurizer Liquid and/or Pressurized Grab Sample on both units. After requesting the Unit 1 reactor operator to open the RCS containment isolation valves for both units, the technician observed indication of flow on Unit 2 RCS sample line but not on Unit 1 sample line. He then backed out of the procedure and proceeded to line up the Unit 1 pressurizer liquid sample valves to troubleshoot the problem. This action was not consistent with the chemistry sampling procedure, nor with the procedure use and adherence procedure for a situation when an abnormal condition was identified. Per BCP 300-23, the technician should have generated a condition report, contacted supervision and/or the Operations Department for an alternate isolation valve if a process sample valve could not be verified in its required position. Per HU-AA-104-101, Procedure Use and Adherence, the technician should have discussed with supervisor and the Operations Department to determine the proper method to place the system in a stable and safe condition if the procedure could not be continued. In addition, per LS-AA-120, Issue Identification and Screening Process, the technician should have notified Operations Shift Management to discuss potential operability or reportability of the issue upon discovery.

During the unauthorized troubleshooting activities, the chemistry technician observed flow from the Unit 1 pressurizer sample line and was able to confirm with the Unit 1 reactor operator that the pressurizer liquid sample containment isolation valves (1PS9355A/B) were not opened. Therefore, potential leak-by on the Unit 1 pressurizer liquid sample containment isolation valves was identified. The technician did not notify his immediate supervision, the High Radiation Sampling system (HRSS) chemist, until 3 hours3.472222e-5 days <br />8.333333e-4 hours <br />4.960317e-6 weeks <br />1.1415e-6 months <br /> later, nor did he write a condition report.

Furthermore, the HRSS chemist did not write a condition report or notify the shift manager immediately. He continued to troubleshoot the problem, and attempted to correct the isolation issue but was unsuccessful. A condition report was eventually generated at 9:30 a.m. on January 24, 2006, but not routed to the shift manager for immediate review. Per LS-AA-120, any equipment issue-related condition report required immediate review by the operations shift management. This condition report was not reviewed by the shift manager until 5:00 a.m. on January 25, 2006.

The shift manager subsequently declared both containment isolation valves inoperable and entered the limiting condition for operations at 12:50 p.m. on January 25, 2006.

The pressurizer liquid sample line was then isolated in accordance with the TS Action statement within 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br />.

Analysis:

The inspectors determined that the failure to follow the chemistry sampling, procedure use, and the corrective action program procedures was a performance deficiency. This performance deficiency warranted a significance evaluation in accordance with IMC 0612 Power Reactor Inspection Reports, Appendix B, Issue Disposition Screening. The inspectors determined that the finding was more than minor because it did not resemble any of the minor examples in Appendix E, Examples of Minor Issues, to IMC 0612 and it affected the human performance attribute of the containment function of the barrier integrity cornerstone to provide reasonable assurance that physical barriers protect the public from radio nuclide releases caused by accidents or events. The inspectors also determined that the chemistry technicians and the HRSS chemists failure to follow procedures and engaged in unauthorized troubleshooting activities affected the cross-cutting area of Human Performance.

The inspectors determined that the finding could be evaluated using the SDP in accordance with IMC 0609, Significance Determination Process, because the finding was associated with the integrity of reactor containment. Since this finding did not represent an actual open pathway in the physical integrity of reactor containment and did not involve an actual reduction in defense-in-depth for the atmospheric pressure control or hydrogen control functions of the reactor containment. Based on this, the finding was determined to be of very low safety significance.

Enforcement:

Technical Specifications 5.4.1 states that written procedures shall be established, implemented and maintained covering the applicable procedures recommended in Regulatory Guide 1.33, Revision 2, Appendix A, February 1978.

This includes chemistry sampling and various administrative procedures. Contrary to the above, between January 23, 2006, and January 24, 2006, a chemistry technician and a chemist failed to follow the chemistry sampling, procedure use and corrective action program procedures after an abnormal condition was identified during sampling activities. Because this violation was of very low safety significance and the issue was entered into the licensees corrective action program (CR 445208), it was treated as an NCV, consistent with Section V1.A of the NRC enforcement Policy.

(NCV 05000454/2006002-03)

The enforcement aspects for the untimely TS action completion is discussed in Section 4OA3 of this report.

4OA3 Event Follow-Up

.1 (Closed) Licensee Event Report (LER) 05000455-2005-001-00: Unit 2 Automatic

Reactor Trip Due to Low Steam Generator Level Resulting from a Software Fault on the Turbine Control Power Runback Feature.

On August 19, 2005, the licensee experienced a reactor trip on low steam generator level, as the 2A Condensate/Condensate Booster pump developed a fault in the motor and tripped offline. The 2D Condensate/Condensate Booster pump was not available due to maintenance. A turbine runback was initiated by the operators in an attempt to match steam flow and feed flow. However, a recently modified turbine control system failed to respond. The licensee later determined that an application software fault caused the failure of the Digital Electro-Hydraulic system to automatically runback the turbine when required. The licensee evaluated the safety significance of the reactor trip and the inspectors reviewed the licensees evaluation. The inspectors determined that no violation of NRC requirements occurred. However, an inspection finding associated with this issue was discussed in Section 1R17 of NRC Inspection Report 05000454/455/2005011. This LER is closed.

.2 (Open) Licensee Event Report (LER) 05000454-2006-001-00: Technical Specification

Required Action Completion Time Exceeded for Inoperable Containment Isolation valves Due to Untimely Operability Determination On January 23, 2006, licensee personnel identified that the pressurizer liquid sample containment isolation valves were leaking by. They did not promptly notify shift operations to review the potential impact on containment integrity on this condition.

A condition report was written on January 24, 2006, but it was not forwarded to shift operations for a prompt operability determination. Shift operations became aware of this condition during routing condition report review on January 25, 2006. Technical Specification 3.6.3 states that when one or more penetration flow paths with two containment isolation valves inoperable, the affected penetration flow path shall be isolate within 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br />. Subsequently, the licensee declared the containment isolation valves inoperable and completed all required TS actions. Since the condition was discovered 2 days before, the required TS action completion time would have been exceeded. However, the inspectors cannot determine if there was a TS violation because the licensee was not able to quantify the leakage due to existing plant configuration. In September 2006 the licensee plans to perform a test to quantify the leakage. Therefore, this issue remains under review by NRC and is categorized as an Unresolved Item 05000454/2006002-04. The human performance aspects of the event was discussed in Section 4OA2 of this report. This LER is closed.

.3 Unit 1 Fire and Notification of Unusual Event

a. Inspection Scope

On February 24, 2006, the inspectors responded to the control room after hearing a plant announcement of a fire in the auxiliary building. Control room personnel had received a fire alarm at 8:36 a.m. for the Unit 1 Train B safety injection pump room. The presence of smoke was confirmed and the fire brigade was dispatched. At 8:54 a.m., a Notification of Unusual Event for Fire in the Protected Area not extinguished in

  1. 15 minutes or explosion in the Protected Area was declared. Offsite fire department assistance was requested and received.

The fire was limited to the Unit 1 Refueling Water Storage Tank heater and associated power cable. A large amount of smoke was generated but neither the fire nor the smoke had any significant impact on plant operation. The Notification of Unusual Event was terminated at 11:09 a.m. after a non-safety related breaker, which failed to automatically trip, and an associated electrical short was isolated. The inspectors assessed licensee performance during the event, damage assessment activities following the event, and root cause analysis efforts.

b. Findings

No findings of significance were identified.

.4 Unit 2 Train D Steam Generator Feedwater Control Malfunction

a. Inspection Scope

On March 31, 2006, the inspectors responded to the control room after notified by the licensee that the feedwater controlling channel to the Unit 2 Train D steam generator malfunctioned. Control room personnel received numerous alarms when the Unit 2 Train D steam generator feedwater channel spiked high momentarily. Plant system responded automatically by decreasing feedwater flow to the affected steam generator.

Operators took manual control of the feedwater regulation valve and stabilized the plant.

The event was terminated when operators restored steam generator level to normal.

The inspectors assessed the operators actions during the event, evaluated plant parameters, system responses, and fission product barrier integrity.

b. Findings

No findings of significance were identified.

4OA5 Other

1. Implementation of Temporary Instruction (TI) 2515/165 - Operational Readiness of

Offsite Power and Impact on Plant Risk

a. Inspection Scope

The objective of TI 2515/165, Operational Readiness of Offsite Power and Impact on Plant Risk, was to confirm, through inspections and interviews, the operational readiness of offsite power systems in accordance with NRC requirements. On March 15 through 17, 2006, the inspectors reviewed licensee procedures and discussed the attributes identified in TI 2515/165 with licensee personnel. In accordance with the requirements of TI 2515/165, the inspectors evaluated the licensees operating procedures used to assure the functionality/operability of the offsite power system, as well as, the risk assessment, emergent work, and/or grid reliability procedures used to assess the operability and readiness of the offsite power system.

The information gathered while completing this Temporary Instruction was forwarded to the Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation for further review and evaluation.
