SUMMARY

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) continued monitoring the licensees performance by conducting an integrated inspection at Braidwood Station, 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 https://www.nrc.gov/reactors/operating/oversight.html for more information.

List of Findings and Violations

Failure to Follow Established Procedures Results in Incomplete Multi-Purpose Canister Blowdown Cornerstone Significance Cross-Cutting Report Aspect Section Not Applicable NCV 05000456,05000457/2020004-01 Not Applicable 71152 Open/Closed A self-revealed Severity Level IV non-cited violation (NCV) of 10 CFR 72.150, "Instructions,

Procedures and Drawings," occurred for failing to follow procedures for activities that affect quality when setting up the Multi-Purpose Canister (MPC) Forced Helium Dehydration (FHD)system. Specifically, in preparation for removing bulk water from the MPC, hoses were incorrectly connected which resulted in essentially no water being removed prior to commencing drying operations and incorrectly declaring that bulk water boiling was no longer a concern.

Main Steam Safety Valves Lift Pressure Setpoints Not Within Technical Specification Lift Setting Tolerance Cornerstone Significance Cross-Cutting Report Aspect Section Mitigating Green [P.5] - 71153 Systems NCV 05000457/2020004-02 Operating Open/Closed Experience A self-revealed finding of very low safety significance and an associated non-cited violation (NCV) of Technical Specification (TS) 3.7.1, "Main Steam Safety Valves (MSSVs)," were identified when the licensee operated Braidwood Unit 2 with three MSSVs which were found to have lift pressure setpoints that were not within their TS lift setting tolerance. Specifically, just prior to the Braidwood Unit 2 A2R21 refueling outage on April 15 - 16, 2020, MSSVs 2MS014B, 2MS016A, and 2MS016C were found with lift pressure setpoints above the percent tolerance listed in TS 3.7.1 during in-situ testing. A subsequent causal evaluation by the licensee identified that previous procedures and work instructions used to make adjustments to the lift pressure setpoints for the MSSVs did no incorporate applicable guidance for temperature stabilization following very large adjustments or multiple back to back adjustments. This pre-disposed the MSSVs to larger lift pressure setpoint drift levels over their service time.

Additional Tracking Items

Type Issue Number Title Report Section Status LER 05000457/2020-001-00 LER 2020-001-00 for 71153 Closed Braidwood Station, Unit 2,

Three Main Steam Safety Valves Failed Setpoint Testing

PLANT STATUS

Unit 1 and Unit 2 both began the inspection period operating at full power. With the exception of minor reductions in power to support scheduled testing activities and load changes requested by the transmission system dispatcher, both units remained operating 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 Disease 2019 (COVID-19), resident 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; conducted plant status activities as described in IMC 2515, Appendix D, Plant Status; 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 portions 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

Failure to Follow Established Procedures Results in Incomplete Multi-Purpose Canister Blowdown Cornerstone Severity Cross-Cutting Report Aspect Section Not Severity Level IV Not 71152 Applicable NCV 05000456,05000457/2020004-01 Applicable Open/Closed A self-revealed Severity Level IV non-cited violation (NCV) of 10 CFR 72.150, "Instructions, Procedures and Drawings," occurred for failing to follow procedures for activities that affect quality when setting up the Multi-Purpose Canister (MPC) Forced Helium Dehydration (FHD)system. Specifically, in preparation for removing bulk water from the MPC, hoses were incorrectly connected which resulted in essentially no water being removed prior to commencing drying operations and incorrectly declaring that bulk water boiling was no longer a concern.

Description:

On August 19, 2020, while preparing for processing MPC 409, the vent hose was incorrectly connected to the drain line and the drain hose was connected to the vent line on the MPC.

During bulk water removal from this MC, an evolution known as blowdown, compressed helium should have been applied to the vent line where bulk water is then forced out through the drain line and back to the spent fuel pool. By monitoring a sight glass on the drain line, a worker can determine when blowdown is complete when only gas, and no water, is flowing through the drain line. Because the hoses were swapped, compressed helium was incorrectly put into the drain line and effectively allowed to bubble out of the vent line without removing any water from the MPC. Approximately 10 to 15 minutes following the start of blowdown, a worker noted the blowdown appeared complete since no water was seen flowing through the drain line site glass. Normally, a blowdown is expected to take 45 to 60 minutes. Believing blowdown was complete, the workers declared that bulk water boiling was no longer a concern. The time to boiling is calculated and tracked to ensure that bulk water is removed prior to the time at which bulk boiling would start. As such, the licensee incorrectly exited the time-to-boil (TTB) clock and continued with drying operations, the next evolution in processing an MPC. When the FHD system was started, the workers heard an abnormal noise and stopped to investigate. It was at this point that the licensee identified the incorrect hose lineup and discovered blowdown was incomplete. The hoses were reconfigured, blowdown was completed successfully, the TTB clock was correctly exited. The TTB clock was calculated to expire at 2030 on August 19. Despite the original error in declaring bulk water removed, the licensee was able to correct the configuration and blowdown the canister by 1518 on August 19, well within the calculated TTB expiration time. In addition to a potential hazard to equipment and personnel, bulk boiling inside an MPC has the potential to over pressurize the important-to-safety MPC, which is relied upon as the eventual confinement barrier to fission product release.

The as configured lineup during initial attempts to process MPC 409 was not in accordance with licensee procedure OU-MW-671-300, MPC Processing Forced Helium Dehydration (FHD) for PWRs, Revision 13. Step 4.4.7 of this procedure states, "Connect 2-inch hose, from FDV-2, Manifold Drain Side Inlet Valve, to VD-1, Drain Port RVOA." Step 4.4.10 states, "Connect 2-inch hose, from FVV-2, Manifold Vent Side Outlet Valve, to VV-1, Vent Port RVOA." Furthermore, the condition was not identified beforehand during procedurally required equipment alignment checks or from available indications following completion of the perceived blowdown. Specifically, Step 4.4.19 states, "Perform walkdown of hoses and components to verify configuration." Finally, the personnel involved noted that the duration of the attempted blowdown appeared to be rather short and available survey data indicated no change in radiological conditions following the attempted blowdown; however, this information was not reviewed or used to assess the results of the blowdown.

Corrective Actions: Upon discovery of the incorrect hose configuration, the equipment was placed in a safe condition and lineup corrected, the MPC was blown down, and the canister was safely processed for storage. There was no immediate safety concern because the bulk water was eventually removed prior to exceeding the calculated time to boil. The concern was placed in the corrective action program and additional causal evaluations and corrective actions assigned. Long term corrective actions proposed include modifying components to ensure the configuration is fail-safe and procedural enhancements to further ensure the configuration is correct and conditions as expected. The inspectors did not identify and issues with these licensee corrective actions as part of their in-depth problem identification and resolution inspection sample.

Corrective Action References: IR 04364058; Forced Helium Drying Skid Issue; 08/19/2020

Performance Assessment:

The inspectors determined this violation was associated with a minor performance deficiency.

The inspectors concluded that the licensee failed to follow procedure OU-MW-671-300 when setting up the FHD system to process the important-to-safety MPC, increasing the potential to over pressurize the MPC, damage equipment, and/or injure personnel.

Enforcement:

Severity: The inspectors determined that the violation could be evaluated, using Section 6.5.d.1 of the NRC Enforcement Policy, as a violation of very low safety significance (Severity Level IV) because the licensee failed to meet a regulatory requirement that had a more than minor safety significance.

Violation: Title 10 CFR 72.150, "Instructions, Procedures, and Drawings," states, in part, that the licensee shall prescribe activities affecting quality by documented instructions, procedures, or drawings of a type appropriate to the circumstances and shall require that these instructions, procedures, and drawings be followed. The licensee established procedure OU-MW-671-300, MPC Processing Forced Helium Dehydration (FHD) for PWRs, Revision 13, as the implementing procedure for processing an MPC, an activity affecting quality.

Procedure OU-MW-671-300, Step 4.4.7 states, "Connect 2-inch hose, from FDV-2, Manifold Drain Side Inlet Valve, to DV-1, Drain Port RVOA;" Step 4.4.10 dates, "Connect 2-inch hose, from FVV-2, Manifold Side Outlet Valve to VV-1, Vent Port RVOA;" and Step 4.4.19 states, "Perform walkdown of hoses and components to verify configuration."

Contrary to these requirements, on August 19, 2020, the licensee failed to follow procedure OU-MW-671-300 in that the drain hose was incorrectly connected from the Manifold Drain Site Inlet Valve to the Vent Port RVOA and the vent hose was incorrectly connected from the Manifold Vent Side Outlet Valve to the Drain Port RVOA, and the licensee did not identify the incorrect configuration while performing the walkdown of hoses and components when setting up the FHD system to process the important-to-safety MPC.

Enforcement Action: This violation is being treated as a non-cited violation, consistent with Section 2.3.2 of the Enforcement Policy.

Observation: Trend in Fire Protection System Header Isolation Valve Issues 71152 The inspectors performed a review of plant issues, particularly those entered into the licensees corrective action program (CAP), associated with fire protection system over the past six months. During their review, the inspectors noted that there had been several recent issues at the station involving the separation of the valve disc from the valve stem in fire protection system header isolation valves. These included, but were not limited to:

-Issues with 0FP297, Auxiliary Building Ring Header to Loop Header Isolation Valve, as documented in the licensees CAP as IR 4382568.

-Issues with 0FP252, Auxiliary Building Ring Header Sectionalizing Valve, as documented in the licensees CAP as IR 4382571.

-Issues with 0FP251, Auxiliary Building Ring Header Sectionalizing Valve, as documented in the licensees CAP as IR 4366302.

In addition to being installed in the same raw water system, the inspectors noted that all of these fire protection system header isolation valves were of a similar design (Anchor-Darling 150 pound class manual gate valves, of either 10-inch or 6-inch size), and had been installed around the same time as part of the plants initial construction.

While the inspectors noted that these issues documented in the CAP had occurred as part of the licensees actions to conduct extensive full flow testing of their fire protection system header in response to industry operating experience, coincidental issues with multiple header isolation valves featuring so many common denominators represented a potential concern warranting a more in-depth analysis. Following discussions with the inspectors, the licensee entered the trend into their CAP as IR 4393999.

The inspectors did not identify any findings or violations of NRC requirements in the course of their review.

Observation: 2B Emergency Diesel Generator (EDG) Cooler Quad Rings 71152 The inspectors performed a detailed review of IR 4389711, 2B DG - 2DG01KB-Y1/Y2 - Quad Ring Gasket Material Found. The issue involved the identification of quad ring gasket material in both the upper and lower 2B EDG lube oil coolers during a 6-year lube oil cooler inspection performed on the 2B EDG in December 2020. The inspectors chose this issue for an in-depth review of the licensee's actions within their corrective action program (CAP) due to previous history on the 2B EDG where quad ring gasket material had been degraded and potentially become a foreign material issue. Consequently, for this detailed Problem Identification and Resolution inspection sample, the inspectors focused on assessment of the licensee's corrective actions taken both in the past and for this present condition.

The inspectors did not identify any issues with the licensee's CAP actions taken for past historical issues involving quad rings on either the 2B EDG lube oil jacket water coolers.

These CAP actions were largely focused on preventing the quad rings from becoming extruded or otherwise damaged to the extent that they might become a foreign material issue.

Similarly, the inspectors' review of the licensee's current corrective actions also did not result in the identification of any issues of note. The most recent CAP actions included, but were not limited to, retrieval of all of the most recently identified gasket material from December 2020 and analysis of 2B EDG lube oil temperatures since the last 6-year lube oil cooler inspection had been performed in 2016. The latter action verified that no abnormal temperature conditions had been recorded during 2B EDG operation during the period.

No findings or violations of NRC requirements were identified by the inspectors in the course of this review.

Main Steam Safety Valves Lift Pressure Setpoints Not Within Technical Specification Lift Setting Tolerance Cornerstone Significance Cross-Cutting Report Aspect Section Mitigating Green [P.5] - 71153 Systems NCV 05000457/2020004-02 Operating Open/Closed Experience A self-revealed finding of very low safety significance and an associated non-cited violation (NCV) of Technical Specification (TS) 3.7.1, "Main Steam Safety Valves (MSSVs)," were identified when the licensee operated Braidwood Unit 2 with three MSSVs which were found to have lift pressure setpoints that were not within their TS lift setting tolerance. Specifically, just prior to the Braidwood Unit 2 A2R21 refueling outage on April 15 - 16, 2020, MSSVs 2MS014B, 2MS016A, and 2MS016C were found with lift pressure setpoints above the 3 percent tolerance listed in TS 3.7.1 during in-situ testing. A subsequent causal evaluation by the licensee identified that previous procedures and work instructions used to make adjustments to the lift pressure setpoints for the MSSVs did no incorporate applicable guidance for temperature stabilization following very large adjustments or multiple back to back adjustments. This pre-disposed the MSSVs to larger lift pressure setpoint drift levels over their service time.

Description:

On April 15 - 16, 2020, the licensee was conducting pre-outage lift pressure setpoint testing for Unit 2 MSSVs as required by TX 3.7.1 prior to shutting the unit down for its scheduled A2R21 refueling outage. During testing, the as-found set points for MSSVs 2MS014B, 2MS016A, and 2MS016C failed to meet the as-found set pressure acceptance criteria set forth in TS 3.7.1 of +/- 3 percent. The specific as-found values were +4.18 percent for 2MS016A, +3.9 percent for 2MS014B, and +3.13 percent for 2MS016C.

The licensee determined that the apparent cause of the failed as-found lift pressure setpoint testing on the MSSVs was setpoint drift. This setpoint drift had been exacerbated by the lack of incorporation of known industry and internal company experience into the formal work instructions and/or procedural guidance governing testing and setpoint adjustments for the MSSVs. This lack of formal guidance led to insufficient temperature stabilization lifts in between multiple back to back adjustments of the MSSV setpoints or following very large adjustments to the setpoints. Ultimately, without allowing the MSSV temperature to appropriately stabilize as a part of the lift pressure setpoint adjustment process, the valves were susceptible to larger drift levels over their subsequent service periods.

Typically, issues found during TS surveillance tests are considered to have occurred at the time of the test unless there is substantive evidence to the contrary. Multiple MSSVs found to lift with setpoints outside of TS limits was an indication that the condition had arisen over a period of time, and that the unit had been operated at power in excess of TS 3.7.1 required action completion times. As a result, the licensee reported this event in accordance with 10 CFR 50.73(a)(2)(i)(B) as an operation or condition prohibited by the plant's TS.

Additionally, because the issue impacted multiple MSSVs and led to their being inoperable, the event was also considered to be reportable under 10 CFR 50.73(a)(2)(vii) as an event where a single cause or condition caused two independent trains or channels to become inoperable in a single system designed to mitigate the consequences of an accident. The licensee reported this event to the NRC as LER 2020-001-00, Three Main Steam Safety Valves Failed Setpoint Testing, on June 12, 2020, (ADAMS Accession Number ML20164A226).

Corrective Actions: The entire population of 20 Unit 2 MSSVs were subjected to lift pressure setpoint testing, and all 20 MSSVs were returned to the required lift pressure setpoint range of +/- 1 percent as set forth in TS 3.7.1 at the conclusion of testing evolution. Further, the licensee's causal evaluation confirmed that all 20 installed MSSVs on Unit 2 had not been subjected to multiple adjustments without sufficient lifts to stabilize the valves' springs in between adjustments during pre-outage A2R21 testing, and enhancements were made to existing MSSV testing procedures and work instructions to incorporate appropriate guidance for temperature stabilization. Finally, 2MS014B and 2MS016C were conservatively scheduled for lift pressure setpoint testing in the licensee's A2R22 refueling outage planned for October 2021.

Corrective Action References: 4335846; 2MS016A - Pre-A2R21 Testing As-Found Outside of Acceptance Range; 04/15/2020. 4336005; 2MS016C - Pre-A2R21 Testing As-Found Outside of Acceptance Range; 04/16/2020. 4335997; 2MS014B - Pre-A2R21 Testing As-Found Outside of Acceptance Range; 04/16/2020.

Performance Assessment:

Performance Deficiency: The inspectors concluded that the licensee's failure to incorporate industry guidance for stabilizing valve temperatures during the testing and adjusting of the lift set pressure of their MSSVs into applicable work instruction and procedures constituted a performance deficiency. Further, because some of the licensee's corporate subject matter experts were keenly aware of this guidance, the inspectors determined that the performance deficiency was within the licensee's ability to have foreseen and should have been prevented.

Screening: The inspectors determined the performance deficiency was more than minor because it was associated with the Procedure Quality 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.

Significance: The inspectors assessed the significance of the finding using Appendix A, The Significance Determination Process (SDP) for Findings At-Power. This finding was associated with the Mitigating Systems Cornerstone of Reactor Safety and was determined to be of more than minor significance because it was associated with cornerstone attributes of design control and procedure quality, and adversely affected the cornerstone objective: "To ensure the availability, reliability, and capability of systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences (i.e., core damage)." Specifically, the inspectors determined that the licensee's failure to have incorporated known industry guidance for stabilizing valve temperatures during the testing and adjusting of the lift set pressure of their MSSVs into applicable work instructions and procedures contributed to the degradation of the valves with respect to lift pressure setpoint drift and contributed to the ultimate inoperability of MSSVs 2MS016A, 2MS014B, and 2MS016C. The inspectors also compared the finding with the examples listed in IMC 0612, "Power Reactor Inspection Reports," Appendix E, "Examples of Minor Issues," Example 3.I was found to be similar in that a failure to incorporate available industry operating experience into the licensee's processes for MSSV lift pressure setpoint testing and adjustments ultimately resulted in increased MSSV lift pressure setpoint drift and valve inoperability.

Cross-Cutting Aspect: P.5 - Operating Experience: The organization systematically and effectively collects, evaluates, and implements relevant internal and external operating experience in a timely manner. Specifically, licensee subject matter experts were aware of industry experience regarding MSSV temperature stabilization during lift pressure setpoint adjustment activities, yet this information was not effectively implemented by incorporating it into applicable procedures and work instructions until after Unit 2 MSSV lift pressure setpoint testing activities on April 15 - 16, 2020, as corrective action for this event.

Enforcement:

Violation: Technical Specification (TS) 3.7.1 requires that the five MSSVs associated with each steam generator (SG) are operable whenever the unit is operating above 56 percent of rated thermal power. Contrary to this requirement, on April 15 - 16, 2020, planned lift pressure setpoint testing identified that MSSV 2MS016A for the 2A SG, MSSV 2MS014B for the 2B SG, and MSSV 2MS016C for the 2C SG failed to meet the as-found set pressure acceptance criteria set forth in TS 3.7.1 of +/- 3 percent and were, therefore, inoperable. A causal evaluation performed by the licensee determined that the failures had occurred over time during the previous Unit 2 operating cycle, and that the unit had been operated in a condition prohibited by TS 3.7.1 during that cycle.

Enforcement Action: This violation is being treated as a non-cited violation, consistent with Section 2.3.2 of the Enforcement Policy.
