INSPECTION RESULTS
Observation: Test Signal Inadvertently Applied to the Incorrect Instrument Loop 71152A The inspectors performed a detailed review of IR 4474052, Level 3 Configuration Control:
Incorrect Connection of Test Equipment. The issue involved Instrument Maintenance Department (IMD) calibration procedure BwIP 2P-0120, Calibration of Charging Header Pressure Loop 2P-0120 (CV), which was performed under Work Order (WO) 5063738, 2P-0120 Charging Header Pressure Loop. On January 26, 2022, IMD technicians performing this calibration activity were prompted to change out their test signal equipment partway through the procedure due to a low battery indication. Despite the use of robust barriers within the applicable 2PA06J instrumentation cabinet intended to prevent such an error, the IMD technicians connected the replacement test signal equipment to test connection points associated with the Unit 2 Volume Control Tank (VCT) pressure instrument loop, vice the intended 2P-0120 Charging Header Pressure instrument loop. When the test signal was subsequently applied, Unit 2 operators in the main control room were forced to respond to invalid VCT pressure indications and took steps to stabilize VCT pressure.
The inspectors chose this issue for an in-depth review of the licensees actions within their corrective action program (CAP) because of the inherent risk associated with wrong unit /
wrong component manipulations. While in this particular case the wrong component error did not result in any significant adverse impact to the applicable unit, such an error could have resulted in a significant plant transient or unintended automatic equipment actuation.
Consequently, for this detailed Problem Identification and Resolution inspection sample, the inspectors focused on assessment of the licensees corrective actions taken both for this specific error, as well as those targeted at the more generic issue of addressing potential wrong unit / wrong component errors.
The inspectors determined that the erroneous connection of the IMD test signal equipment to test connection points associated with the Unit 2 VCT pressure instrument loop, vice the intended 2P-0120 Charging Header Pressure instrument loop on January 26, 2022, had constituted a violation of the requirements of TS 5.4.1(a), which requires that written procedures be established, implemented, and maintained for the applicable procedures recommended in Regulatory Guide 1.33, Revision 2, Appendix A, February 1978. In this case, Section 8.a of Regulatory Guide 1.33, Revision 2, Appendix A, February 1978, contains the requirement for procedures associated with instrument calibrations, and licensee procedure BwIP 2P-0120, Calibration of Charging Header Pressure Loop 2P-0120 (CV),
Revision 1, is an applicable procedure. Section 4.1, Test Setup, of this procedure directs that the IMD test equipment is to be connected to Terminals TBF-7 and TBF-8 in Cabinet 2PA06J to facilitate calibration of the Charging Header Pressure Loop 2P-0120. Contrary to these instructions, the IMD test signal equipment was connected to Terminals TBF-1 and TBF-2 in Cabinet 2PA06J. However, because there were no safety consequences associated with this event, the inspectors concluded that the error had not adversely affected the Initiating Events Cornerstone objective to limit the likelihood of events that upset plant stability and challenge critical safety functions during shutdown as well as power operations. As a result, the issue was determined to be a violation of minor significance that was not subject to formal actions per Section 2.3.1 of the NRC Enforcement Policy.
The inspectors did not identify any issues with the licensees CAP actions taken. The licensees formal CAP evaluation revealed that human performance failures had occurred at multiple times during the calibration. Subsequent interviews performed with station supervisors and technicians revealed that multiple interpretations of standards and expectations existed with respect to the use of several human performance tools. Multiple corrective actions targeting this aspect of the event were implemented by the licensee; these included the reinforcement of standards and expectations by plant management with shop superintendents regarding the use of human performance tools, peer-to-peer coaching, and supervisory oversight in the field.
No findings or violations of NRC requirements of more than minor safety significance were identified by the inspectors in the course of this review.
Observation: Trend in Reactor Vessel Level Indication System (RVLIS) Issues 71152S The inspectors performed a review of plant issues, particularly those entered into the licensees CAP over the past several months. During their review, the inspectors noted an adverse trend involving the performance of the Reactor Vessel Level Indication System (RVLIS). The majority of issues were on Unit 1, but the inspectors noted that the trend was not exclusive to only that unit. Specific CAP entries reviewed by the inspectors included, but were not limited to:
- IR 4442055; 1-9-D6 - Unexpected Main Control Room Alarm - RVLIS Sensor Uncovered.
- IR 4442887; 1-9-D6 - Unexpected Main Control Room Alarm - RVLIS Sensor Uncovered.
- IR 4450389; Unexpected Main Control Room Alarm - RVLIS Sensor/Core Exit Thermocouple (CETC) Failure.
- IR 4472056; Alarm 2-9-D6 - RVLIS Level Sensor 7B Erratic.
- IR 4482013; 1-9-D6, RVLIS Sensor Uncovered, Sensor 6A (Plenum 27%).
- IR 4488602; Unexpected Alarm on Unit One A-Train RVLIS.
- IR 4508584; Unexpected Alarm 1-9-D6, RVLIS Sensor Uncovered, Sensor 3A.
The Reactor Vessel Level Indication System is described in Appendix E, Requirements Resulting from the Three Mile Island 2 Accident, of the stations Updated Final Safety Analysis Report (UFSAR) as part of a system of instrumentation used to detect inadequate core cooling (ICC) during significant accident scenarios. Operability requirements for RVLIS in operational Modes 1, 2, and 3 are set forth in Section 3.3.3 of the stations Technical Specifications (TS). The Bases for TS 3.3.3 states, in part:
The Reactor Vessel Water Level Monitoring System provides a direct measurement of the liquid level above the fuel. Two channels are required OPERABLE (Train A and Train B). Each channel consists of eight sensors on a probe. For a channel to be considered OPERABLE one of the two sensors in the "head" region and three of the six sensors in the "plenum" region shall be OPERABLE. The level indicated by the OPERABLE sensors represents the amount of liquid mass that is in the reactor vessel above the core. Operability of each sensor may be determined by reviewing the error codes displayed on the control room indicator.
In the cases reviewed, the inspectors noted that the issues typically involved brief or spurious abnormal readings from a single RVLIS sensor, which was insufficient by itself to render the applicable RVLIS channel inoperable. The inspectors also noted, however, that the continuing presence and frequency of these abnormal readings was, at best, becoming a nuisance for control room operators and, at worst, a chronic issue that could eventually challenge RVLIS TS operability.
The inspectors further noted that the licensee was placing an appropriate level of emphasis on this issue; at the conclusion of the inspection period the licensee generated IR 4508208; Potential Trend in Unit 1/Unit 2 RVLIS Issues, within the stations CAP to drive additional engineering reviews into this issue.
The inspectors did not identify any findings or violations of NRC requirements in the course of their review.
