SUBJECT:
RIVER BEND STATION - NRC INTEGRATED INSPECTION REPORT 05000458/2006002
Dear Mr. Hinnenkamp:
On March 31, 2006, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed an inspection at your River Bend Station. The enclosed integrated inspection report documents the inspection findings which were discussed with you and other members of your staff on April 6, 2006.
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, three self-revealing findings were evaluated under the risk significance determination process as having very low safety significance (Green). The NRC has also determined that violations are associated with these findings. However, because these violations were of very low safety significance and were entered into your corrective action program, the NRC is treating these violations as noncited violations, consistent with Section VI.A.1 of the NRCs Enforcement Policy. If you contest the violations or the significance of the violations, 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, DC 20555-0001, with copies to the Regional Administrator, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Region IV, 611 Ryan Plaza Drive, Suite 400, Arlington, Texas 76011-4005; the Director, Office of Enforcement, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555-0001; and the NRC Resident Inspector at the River Bend Station facility.
In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 of the NRCs Rules of Practice, a copy of this letter, its enclosure, and your response (if any) will be available electronically for public inspection in the NRC Public Document Room or from the Publicly Available Records (PARS) component of NRCs document system (ADAMS). ADAMS is accessible from the NRC Website at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html (the Public Electronic Reading Room).

SUMMARY OF FINDINGS
IR 05000458/2006002; 01/01/2006 - 03/31/2006; River Bend Station; Postmaintenance Testing,
Refueling and Other Outage Activities, Event Followup The report covered a 3-month period of routine baseline inspections by resident inspectors and regional engineering inspectors. Three Green noncited violations were identified. The significance of most findings is indicated by their color (Green, White, Yellow, Red) using Inspection Manual Chapter (MC) 0609, Significance Determination Process. Findings for which the significance determination process 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.
NRC-Identified and Self-Revealing Findings
Cornerstone: Mitigating Systems
- Green.
A self-revealing noncited violation of Technical Specifications Section 5.4.1.a.
was identified for the failure of procurement engineers to specify the correct replacement relief valve in a repetitive maintenance task to periodically replace thermal relief valves in the standby service water system. As a result, an incorrect valve was installed in the system which, following a system pressure transient, failed to reseat, creating a 10 gpm leak from the system. The valve was replaced and the issue was entered into the licensee's corrective action program as CR-RBS-2006-1054.
The finding is more than minor because it would become more significant if left uncorrected in that additional makeup to the standby service water system would be required during a sustained loss of off-site power. The finding affected the mitigating system cornerstone. Using Manual Chapter 0609, "Significance Determination Process," Phase 1 Worksheets, the finding was determined to have very low safety significance because it did not result in the loss of the standby service water system safety function. The cause of the finding is related to the crosscutting element of problem identification and resolution because the problem which led to the installation of the incorrect valve had been previously identified and corrective actions were not effective in preventing recurrence (Section 1R19).
- Green.
A self-revealing noncited violation of Technical Specification Section 5.4.1.a, was identified for the failure of mechanical maintenance technicians to correctly reassemble Low Pressure Coolant Injection Testable Check Valve E12-AOVF041A during Refueling Outage 12. As a result, a steam leak from a valve flange caused a rise in drywell unidentified leakage. The issue was entered into the licensees corrective action program as CR-RBS-2006-00546 and the valve was repaired.
The finding is more than minor because it would have become a more significant safety concern if left uncorrected. The leakage would have continued to increase during the cycle, and it would have continued to have an adverse affect on indicated reactor vessel level. Using the Manual Chapter 0609, "Significance Determination Process," Phase 1 Worksheets, the finding was determined to have very low safety significance because it did not result in a loss of the low pressure coolant injection system safety function and was not potentially risk significant due to seismic, flooding, or severe weather related initiating events. The finding had crosscutting aspects associated with human performance in that maintenance technicians incorrectly reassembled the valve during refueling outage 12 (Section 1R20).
- Green.
A self-revealing noncited violation of Technical Specifications Section 5.4.1.a.
was identified for the failure to provide adequate procedural guidance for the use of a test plug during the performance of a required surveillance test procedure. The use of the wrong test plug caused an initiation of the high pressure core spray system and injection into the vessel. The issue was entered in the licensees corrective action program as CR-RBS-2006-00283.
The finding is more than minor because it is associated with the mitigating system cornerstone attribute of equipment performance and the cornerstone objective to ensure the availability and reliability of high pressure core spray, a system that responds to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences. The Phase 1 worksheets in Manual Chapter 0609, "Significance Determination Process," were used to conclude that a Phase 2 analysis was required because there was an actual loss of system safety function. Based on the results of the Phase 2 analysis, the finding was determined to have very low safety significance. The cause of the finding is related to the crosscutting element of human performance because the technicians did not verify that they were using the correct test plug for the surveillance test being performed (Section 4OA3).
REPORT DETAILS
Summary of Plant Status: The plant was operated at 100 percent power until January 17, 2006, when reactor power was lowered to 90 percent to perform turbine testing and a control rod shuffle. Power was returned to 100 percent later that day. On February 4, 2006, reactor power was reduced to 75 percent due to concerns with reactor steam carryover. The plant was shut down on February 10, 2006, to inspect the steam dryer. The reactor was restarted on February 17, 2006, and achieved 100 percent power on February 22, 2006. Reactor power was lowered on March 3, 2006, to 85 percent power to perform turbine testing and a control rod shuffle. Power was returned to 100 percent later that day and remained there for the remainder of the inspection period.

b. Findings
Introduction:
A self-revealing noncited violation (NCV) of TS Section 5.4.1.a. was identified for the failure of procurement engineers to specify the correct replacement relief valve in a repetitive maintenance task to periodically replace thermal relief valves in the standby service water system. As a result, following a system pressure transient, the relief valve failed to reseat, creating a 10 gpm leak from the system. The leak was discovered and the relief valve was reseated by isolating the heat load from the service water system.
Description:
On March 10, 2006, operators discovered a leak in the service water system. The leak was determined to be from a failed open relief valve on the service water supply header to Leakage Control Compressor B. The operators isolated service water to the leakage control compressor, which reseated the relief valve and slowly restored service water to the compressor. The leak was calculated to be approximately 10 gpm. Subsequent evaluation of the leak determined that if the standby service water system had been in service, the leak would have been within the capacity of the system and the makeup capability of the standby cooling tower.
The inspectors determined that the valve in question, SWP-RV49B, had been replaced on February 28, 2006, under WO 00064733, as a repetitive task to routinely replace thermal relief valves in the standby service water system. The replacement relief valve was an older style valve without an adjustable blowdown so that, if it lifted during a system pressure transient, it would remain partially open, because its reseat pressure was lower than normal system pressure at the leakage control compressor.
In June 1996, the licensee processed a part interchangeability evaluation to upgrade the type of relief valve to one with an adjustable blowdown feature with a higher reseat pressure for several applications within the service water system. Valve SWP-RV49B was part of that evaluation. Although the component database for SWP-RV49B was changed, the information was not transferred to preexisting repetitive task WOs to periodically replace thermal relief valves in the service water system. In December 2003, CR-RBS-2003-03678 was generated because of problems associated with part interchangeability evaluations not being incorporated into existing WOs for repetitive tasks. Since the licensee concluded that the procurement engineers had no effective way to search the existing repetitive tasks to correct deficient parts data, the corrective actions were focused on making sure that future repetitive task WOs included part interchangeability data. The licensee would depend on the work planning process, which required planners and technicians to review task instructions and information during the walkdown prior to performing work, to identify and correct similar problems in existing WOs. This corrective action was ineffective and led to the use of the wrong relief valve for Valve SWP-RV49B. The decision not to review existing repetitive tasks for correct part interchangeability data was the root cause for the use of the wrong replacement relief valve for Valve SWP-RV49B. In CR-RBS-2006-1054, the planned maintenance optimization working group committed to review all existing part interchangeability evaluations to ensure that all effected repetitive tasks have the correct replacement parts data.
Analysis:
The performance deficiency associated with this finding involved the failure to update a repetitive task WO with the correct replacement valve part number. A parts interchangeability evaluation had been performed but it was not included in the repetitive task WO. The finding is more than minor because it would become more significant if left uncorrected in that additional makeup to the standby service water system would be required during a sustained loss of off-site power. The finding affected the mitigating system cornerstone. Using the Manual Chapter 0609, "Significance Determination Process," Phase 1 Worksheets, the finding was determined to have very low safety significance because it did not result in the loss of the standby service water system safety function because contingency plans are in place for makeup to the standby cooling tower during a sustained loss of off-site power.
The cause of the finding is related to the crosscutting element of problem identification and resolution because the problem with parts interchangeability data had been previously identified. The corrective actions to ensure that all new repetitive task WOs would include part interchangeability data were limited in scope in that they did not address repetitive WOs generated prior to December 2003. The licensee felt that a proper review of the component database during the work planning process would identify problems with existing repetitive tasks. The licensee has committed to reevaluate all existing repetitive task WOs to ensure that all replacement component data is updated to include the correct part interchangeability data.
Enforcement:
TS Section 5.4.1.a requires that written procedures be established, implemented, and maintained covering the activities specified in Appendix A, "Typical Procedures for Pressurized Water Reactors and Boiling Water Reactors," of Regulatory Guide 1.33, "Quality Assurance Program Requirements (Operation)," dated February 1978. Regulatory Guide 1.33, Appendix A, Section 9.a, states that maintenance activities that can affect the performance of safety-related equipment be properly preplanned and performed in accordance with written procedures, documented instructions, or drawings appropriate to the circumstances. Contrary to this, the parts interchangeability data for replacement relief valves in the standby service water system was not included in the repetitive task WO to periodically replace thermal relief valves in the system. Therefore, when WO 00064733 was written in February 2006, it did not specify the correct part number for the replacement relief valve and the wrong relief valve was installed in the system. A pressure transient in the system lifted the relief valve and it failed to reseat, creating a 10 gpm leak. The inspectors determined that the failure to specify the proper replacement relief valve directly led to the use of the wrong part and the subsequent leak from the standby service water system. Because the finding is of very low safety significance and has been entered into the licensees CAP as CR-RBS-2006-01054, this violation is being treated as an NCV consistent with Section VI. A of the Enforcement Policy: NCV 05000458/2006002-01, Installation of Incorrect Relief Valve Caused Leak in Standby Service Water System.
1R20 Refueling and Other Outage Activities Forced Outage FO-06-01, February 10-17, 2006
On February 10, 2006, the licensee shut down the plant in response to an apparent increase in moisture carryover. In a boiling water reactor saturated steam system, a small amount of liquid water is entrained in the steam flow and transported out of the reactor vessel via the main steam lines. The moisture content of the steam is determined by monitoring the ratio of sodium (Na-24) content of the reactor water, condensate, and heater drains. Over the previous 60 days, the licensee had detected a steady increase in Na-24. Such an increase is normally an indication of steam dryer damage resulting in an increase in dryer leakage. In response to this indication, the licensee shut down the unit to perform inspections of the steam dryer.
a. Inspection Scope
The inspectors reviewed the following activities during the forced outage:
- (1) steam dryer inspection activities;
- (2) the licensees identification and resolution of sources of drywell unidentified leakage, suppression pool inleakage and increased containment airborne activity;
- (3) implementation of the Shutdown Operations Protection Plan (SOPP);
- (4) tagging/clearance activities;
- (5) decay heat removal;
- (6) reduction of inventory for reactor vessel disassembly and reassembly;
- (7) reactivity control;
- (8) containment closure;
- (9) heatup and cooldown activities;
- (10) restart activities; and
- (11) licensee identification and implementation of appropriate corrective actions associated with problems identified during the outage. The inspectors' drywell inspections included identification of sources of unidentified drywell leakage and inspections of control rod drive mechanisms and drywell floor and equipment drain sumps. Specific outage activities observed and reviewed included:
- Preoutage Onsite Safety Review Committee review of the SOPP
- Reactor shutdown and transition to shutdown cooling
- Operating shift review of SOPP against changing plant conditions
- Removal and inspection of the steam dryer
- Initial drywell entry to identify sources of drywell unidentified leakage
- Reactor Water Cleanup Loop Isolation Valve 1G33-MOVF100
- Low Pressure Coolant Injection Testable Check Valve E12-AOVF041A
- Reactor Head Vent Valves B21-MOVF001 and F002
- Inspection and repair of sources of suppression pool inleakage
- RCIC Pump Suction Check Valve E51-VF030
- HPCS Pump Discharge Thermal Relief Valve E22-RVF035
- Inspection and repair of Reactor Water Cleanup Demineralizer Outlet Strainer Blowdown Valves G36-VF031A, VF031B, VF032A, and VF032B
- Onsite Safety Review Committee review of outage activities and recommendation for startup Documents reviewed by the inspectors are listed in the attachment.
The inspectors completed one inspection sample.
b. Findings and Observations
.1 Steam Dryer Inspection Activities
The inspectors observed and reviewed the licensees steam dryer inspection activities.
Prior to performing the inspections, the licensee conducted training using a dryer that had been stored in a warehouse. This training was conducted to identify each weld location, size, and layout.
The inspectors reviewed the licensees plan for inspecting the dryer and found that it was based on industry operating experience associated with previous dryer failures.
The plan included:
1. Dryer Hood Welds
2. Dryer Inspections Below the Support Ring
- Earthquake block cover plates - Welds EBP 1 through 6
- Skirt vertical seams - Welds SK-V1 and SK-V2 The licensee did not identify any defects during their initial inspections and expanded the inspection scope to include the following:
3. Underside of the Steam Dryer
- Drain pipes and their connections to the drain channel
- Bottom of inner hood connection to the horizontal plate
- Inlet side of vane module for damage to perforated plates The inspection equipment (underwater camera and control system) used during the inspection of Items 1 and 2 above was appropriate for the task in that it provided excellent coverage and resolution.
The inspections performed for Item 3 were conducted using a submarine type robot with a fixed camera. The camera had excellent resolution. However, control of the submarine was difficult. Maintaining smooth movements was difficult and time consuming and location determination was not easily achieved. In addition, since the submarine was controlled through the use of fan-like thrusters, silt-like deposits occasionally were stirred up, making observation quite difficult at best. The inspectors observed several welds that appeared to be coated with a black crud or oxide-like substance which clearly had the potential for masking certain types of indications in the welds. Subsequent discussion with licensee personnel revealed that the crud-like deposits were most likely the result of less than adequate chemistry control during earlier cycles.
4. Inspections Other than the Steam Dryer
- Feedwater spargers
- Steam separator structural assessment (i.e., stand pipes and assemblies, upper and middle support rings, outside surfaces of the steam separator, and hold down bolts)
The inspectors observed portions of the above inspections in Items 1, 2, and 3. These inspections were conducted using Nondestructive Examination Level II and Level III personnel. While the inspections were not conducted to ASME Code visual examination criteria (i.e., VT-1), they were performed using documented visual instructions which were generally sufficient to detect the types of defects expected for the amount of moisture carryover that had been thought to exist.
Upon further investigation, the licensee determined that the apparent increase in dryer leakage was the result of inaccurate Na-24 measurement. The Na-24 isotope is identified using 1368.55 Kev gamma energy and is measured to indicate dryer leakage.
The licensee determined that the sodium count was being masked by the presence of Iodine-135 which is identified at 1367.89 Kev. The iodine occurrence was the direct result of known fuel leaks. The licensees sodium measurement methodology did not have sufficient sensitivity to allow discrimination between the two isotope energy levels.
As a result, the two isotopes energies were measured additively, resulting in a false high Na-24 reading indicative of a dryer leak. As a corrective action for this condition, the licensee recalibrated the sodium measurement to account for the increase in Iodine-135.
.2 Leak from Low Pressure Coolant Injection Testable Check Valve E12-AOVF041A
Introduction.
A self-revealing NCV of TS Section 5.4.1.a was identified for failure to correctly reassemble Low Pressure Coolant Injection Testable Check Valve E12-AOVF041A during Refueling Outage 12. As a result, a steam leak from a valve flange caused a rise in drywell unidentified leakage during the current operating cycle.
Description:
During Refueling Outage 12, mechanical maintenance technicians removed a flange from the high pressure side of Valve E12-AOV041A to permit inservice test program exercising of the valve disk. When the valve was reassembled, technicians did not properly align the required steam gasket within the flanged fitting. When the flange bolts were torqued down, the gasket was crushed unevenly. As a result, the sealing function of the gasket was compromised and a seat leak developed during the operating cycle.
The steam leak was the major contributor to drywell unidentified leakage prior to the shutdown and caused elevated temperatures in that area of the drywell. During the operating cycle, a concern arose that there was an decrease in moisture carryover out of the reactor, indicating potential problems with the steam dryer. One of the indications that contributed to the potential for steam dryer degradation was an anomalous decrease in Channel A reactor water level indication. Inspection of the drywell revealed that the indicated decrease in Channel A reactor water level was due to heating of the instrument variable leg by the steam leaking out of Valve E12-AOVF041A, not problems with the steam dryer as had originally been thought by the licensee. During the forced outage, the flange was disassembled and the steam gasket was replaced.
Analysis:
The performance deficiency associated with this finding involved failure to correctly reassemble Low Pressure Coolant Injection Testable Check Valve E12-AOVF041A during Refueling Outage 12. The inspectors determined that the steam leak from the valve contributed to an indicated decrease in Channel A reactor water level. This indicated decrease was a factor in the licensees conclusion that there was potential damage to the steam dryer and in their decision to shut down the dryer for inspection. The finding was more than minor because it would have become a more significant safety concern if left uncorrected. The leakage would have continued to increase during the cycle, and it would have continued to have an adverse affect on indicated reactor vessel water level. Using the Manual Chapter 0609, "Significance Determination Process," Phase 1 Worksheets, the finding was determined to have very low safety significance because it did not result in a loss of the system safety function and was not potentially risk significant due to seismic, flooding, or severe weather related initiating events. The inspectors reviewed the licensees analysis of the potential impact of the worse case degradation of the flanged fitting on Valve E12-AOV041A and agreed that there would not be a loss of the low pressure coolant injection Train A safety function due to the margin between the analyzed system injection flow rates and recorded surveillance test data.
This finding had crosscutting aspects associated with human performance in that maintenance technicians incorrectly reassembled the valve during Refueling Outage 12.
Enforcement.
TS Section 5.4.1.a requires that written procedures be established, implemented, and maintained covering the activities specified in Appendix A, "Typical Procedures for Pressurized Water Reactors and Boiling Water Reactors," of Regulatory Guide 1.33, "Quality Assurance Program Requirements (Operation)," dated February 1978. Regulatory Guide 1.33, Appendix A, Section 9.a, requires procedures for maintenance that can affect the performance of safety-related equipment.
WO 50573954, step 4.7, directs maintenance personnel to reinstall the end cover on the valve. Contrary to the above, maintenance technicians incorrectly reassembled Valve E12-AOVF041A during Refueling Outage 12, which resulted in a drywell steam leak from the flange covering the disk operator on the high pressure side of the valve.
Because this violation was of very low safety significance and was documented in the licensees CAP as CR-RBS-2006-00546, it is being treated as an NCV in accordance with Section VI. A of the NRC Enforcement Policy: NCV 05000458/2006002-02, Inadequate maintenance results in a drywell steam leak from Low Pressure Coolant Injection Train A Testable Check Valve.

4OA2 Identification and Resolution of Problems
a. Inspection Scope
.1 Routine Review of Identification and Resolution of Problems
The inspectors performed a daily screening of items entered into the licensee's CAP.
This assessment was accomplished by reviewing CRs and work requests. The inspectors:
- (1) verified that equipment, human performance, and program issues were being identified by the licensee at an appropriate threshold and that the issues were entered into the CAP;
- (2) verified that corrective actions were commensurate with the significance of the issue; and
- (3) identified conditions that might warrant additional follow-up through other baseline inspection procedures.
.2 Selected Issue Follow-up Inspection
In addition to the routine review, the inspectors selected the issue below for a more in-depth review. The inspectors considered the following during the review of the licensee's actions:
- (1) complete and accurate identification of the problem in a timely manner;
- (2) evaluation and disposition of operability/reportability issues;
- (3) consideration of extent of condition, generic implications, common cause, and previous occurrences;
- (4) classification and prioritization of the resolution of the problem;
- (5) identification of root and contributing causes of the problem;
- (6) identification of corrective actions; and
- (7) completion of corrective actions in a timely manner.
C CR-RBS02006-00805, Potential adverse trend in the area of work management and coordination of scheduled maintenance items causing unnecessary unavailability of risk important and safety-related systems Other CRs reviewed during this assessment included:
CR-RBS-2005-01400 CR-RBS-2005-03520 CR-RBS-2005-03863 CR-RBS-2005-03219 CR-RBS-2005-03768 CR-RBS-2005-00103 The inspectors completed one inspection sample.
b. Findings and Observations
There were no findings of significance identified associated with the CRs reviewed.
However, the inspectors identified several occasions in which licensee personnel were not adequately prepared to perform the intended work due inadequate system tagouts.
The licensee identified several occasions where incomplete component and system impact statements led operators to prepare and hang tagouts for safety-related equipment when the actual job scope was not clearly defined. As a result, safety-related equipment was tagged out unnecessarily, or the tagout was not sufficient for the work being performed. The inspectors noted that in all cases the licensee identified the condition and restored the equipment and systems to service within hours. The inspectors reviewed the apparent cause analysis and the measures put in place by the licensee to correct the problem and plan to perform an effectiveness review as part of normal inspection activities throughout the remainder of the year.
4OA3 Event Follow-up
The inspectors completed the following three inspection samples.
Failure of Standby Gas Treatment System (SGTS) Train B On February 2, 2006, while operators manually aligned SGTS Train B in preparation for the calibration of time delay relays in the automatic start sequencing circuit for motor operated dampers, the train failed to start. Prior to aligning Train B, operators disabled SGTS Train A in accordance with Procedure SOP-0059, Containment HVAC System, Revision 25, Section 5.2, Standby Gas Treatment Manual Start. As a result, for a period of time both trains of SGTS were inoperable, requiring operators to enter TS Section 3.0.3. SGTS Train A was immediately returned to its normal standby lineup and TS Section 3.0.3 was exited. The inspectors reviewed the operators action and the shift managers evaluation of the event against the reporting requirements of 10 CFR Part 50.72. The inspectors reviewed the restoration and postmaintenance testing of the SGTS Fan B circuit breaker under WO 00081357 and CR-RBS-2006-00454. No findings of significance were identified.
(Closed) LER 05000458/2004-002-00, Automatic Reactor Scram and System Actuations Due to Insulator Flashover in Switchyard On October 1, 2004, a ground fault caused by insulator flashover on one 230 kV line that supplied off-site power to Division I resulted in the loss of Division I off-site power.
This also caused a loss of power to one half of the balance of plant equipment. Another ground fault caused by insulator flashover occurred a few minutes later on the main unit transformers and resulted in a generator lockout, turbine trip, and generator load reject scram. The loss of the Division I line also led to the loss of the main condenser. The NRCs inspection of this event was documented in NRC Special Inspection Report 05000458/2004012, issued February 10, 2005. Additional inspection was documented in NRC Supplemental Inspection Report 05000458/2005012, issued October 24, 2005.
During this inspection period, the inspectors reviewed the LER and the root cause analysis and corrective actions documented in CR-RBS-CR-RBS-2004-02841 and 02842. No additional findings of significance were identified. This LER is closed.
(Closed) LER 05000458/2006-002-00, Loss of Safety Function of High Pressure Core Spray Due to Manual Deactivation
Introduction.
A self-revealing NCV of TS Section 5.4.1.a was identified for the failure to provide adequate procedural guidance for the use of a test plug during the performance of a TS-required surveillance test. The use of the wrong test plug caused an initiation of the HPCS and injection into the vessel.
Description.
On January 24, 2006, instrument and controls technicians were performing Surveillance Test Procedure (STP)-051-4356, HPCS - Drywell Pressure - High Channel Calibration and Logical System Functional Test, Revision 11, when they caused an inadvertent initiation of HPCS. Operators immediately responded by verifying that an actual high drywell pressure condition did not exist and that HPCS operation was not required. They stopped HPCS injection into the reactor vessel by closing HPCS Injection Isolation Valve E22-MOVF004. The manual override of the automatic opening of Valve E22-MOVF004 disabled the system because the valve would not automatically reopen on a lowering reactor water level. The simulated high drywell pressure signal was cleared and the test plug was removed from the HPCS logic panel. The initiation signal was then reset and HPCS was returned to its normal standby lineup. HPCS was inoperable for 97 minutes.
The test plug used was developed in response to the September 27, 2003, inadvertent initiation of HPCS at Grand Gulf Nuclear Station. During that event, technicians hooked up a volt-ohm meter to the wrong test connections of a multipoint cannon plug on the front of the HPCS logic cabinet. River Bends instrument and control departments response was to create two test plugs that would separate out the test lead connections for each half of the system initiation logic. Even though the test plugs were made up and training was conducted on the Grand Gulf event and the RBS solution, the use of the test plugs was not included in the appropriate STPs.
Analysis.
The performance deficiency associated with this finding was the failure to include specific procedural guidance on the use of the correct test plug in STP-051-4356. This resulted in the technicians use of the wrong test plug for the surveillance test being performed. The finding is more than minor because it is associated with the mitigating systems cornerstone attribute of equipment performance and affects the associated cornerstone objective to ensure the availability and reliability of a system that responds to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences because operators had to override HPCS injection. The Phase 1 worksheets in Manual Chapter 0609, "Significance Determination Process," were used to conclude that a Phase 2 analysis was required because there was an actual loss of system safety function. The inspectors performed a Phase 2 analysis using Manual Chapter 0609, Appendix A, "Determining the Significance of Reactor Inspection Findings for At-Power Situations,"
and the Phase 2 worksheets for RBS. The inspectors used an out-of-service time of 97 minutes and assumed that, since the operators had manually inhibited HPCS injection, it was reasonable to assume that they would have reopened the injection valve if HPCS was required to maintain reactor water level following a plant trip. The dominant transients from the Phase 2 analysis were a plant trip and loss of normal feedwater, stuck open relief valve, loss of normal service water, and a loss of off-site power with a failure of the Divisions I and II emergency diesel generators. Using the Counting Rule Worksheet, this finding was estimated to be of very low safety significance (Green). This characterization was verified and validated by a senior reactor analyst.
The inspectors determined that this finding had crosscutting aspects associated with human performance. The root cause for the human performance error of using the wrong test plug was inadequate procedural guidance for its use during the surveillance test. Additionally, the technicians did not independently verify they had the correct test plug in the shop during their prejob walkthrough and did not verify that they were using the correct test plug before inserting it into the logic cabinet cannon plug.
Enforcement.
TS Section 5.4.1.a requires that written procedures be established, implemented, and maintained covering the activities specified in Appendix A, "Typical Procedures for Pressurized Water Reactors and Boiling Water Reactors," of Regulatory Guide 1.33, "Quality Assurance Program Requirements (Operation)," dated February 1978. Regulatory Guide 1.33, Appendix A, Section 9.a, requires that maintenance that can effect performance of safety-related equipment be properly preplanned and performed in accordance with written procedures, documented instructions, or drawings that are appropriate to the circumstances. Contrary to this, STP-051-4356 did not contain specific procedural guidance for the use of the correct test plug. Because the finding is of very low safety significance and has been entered into the licensees CAP as CR-RBS-2006-00283, this violation is being treated as an NCV consistent with Section VI. A of the Enforcement Policy: NCV 05000458/2006002-03, Inadvertent Initiation of High Pressure Core Spray Caused by the Use of the Wrong Test Plug During Surveillance Testing. This LER is closed.
