i Inspection Summary Inspection from February 26 through March 6.1990 (Report No. 50-461/90002(DRP))' Areas Inspected: Special team inspection by the resident and regional Inspectors-ofmaintenance,operationsinterface,(managementcontrols,andposttrip.

l review analysis for balance of-plant B0P) systems.. ' i-Results: Overall the programs for corrective, predictive, and preventative.

maintenance on BOP equipment appear to be acceptable. Operations ~ Department-activities in support of B0P equipment maintenance, the operation of BOP systems,-management controls and the utilization of prior industry events also appear to be acceptable...The post trip review program appears to be adequate. Areas for improvement were identified in the. preventative.

maintenance program, equipment tagout program, and post--trip review program.

One violation was identified which' involved the failure to recognize that the.

utilization of administrative methods for controlling radwaste tank levels, vice the installed instrumentation, required a 10 CFR 50.59 review.

' Due to previous.NRC concerns with the:performanceiof; Clinton Statiori . ~in maintaining and~ operating Balance of Plant:(B0P) systems'(discussed-in the SALP;9 Report (50-461/89001(DRP)) and the.0STI Team:Repo~rt (50-461/89030(DRP)), a special~ team inspection was conducted,'duringa: ' , planned outage, to evaluate the condition'of B0P? systems and to observe-maintenance being performed on these systems.u.The focus of this ' '

, inspection was-in four areas: a.

A review'of the.effect'iveness of the licensee's: predictive,3 , ~ preventive, and corrective mai.ntenance on;B0P'sys_tems, ' ' ]a , - b.

A review'of t.he adequacy of operating proc'edures for B0P systems and-H operations! department interface activities.in support ofEmaintenance a on B0P systems, ,t .' A: review of the effectiveness;of management support in correcting ,p q c.

'The. inspectors reviewed the 1licenseel - e A . - response and verified that the corrective: actions were'being implemented-as' stated.

The inspectors also reviewed -the; licensee's supplemental x response contained,in'a letter from D. L. Holtzscher to A. B. Davis; x.-

' - r . , dated' July 21, 1989, (U-601497).

The' inspectors' 2 observations of ' ~\\, a N" ' ', procedural compliance-are; discussed in Paragraph 4.b.. Based on these.

and the ability'to maintain the operability of these'-systems,- atTal. ~ '

level commensurate with~the' system or componentifunctions under' 'I _.

, abnorma1' conditions, was questionable. JThe housekeeping and . , ' , material' condition of other plant areas appeared-to be acceptable ! ' considering the amount of outage related workt . / k ( . The insp'ectors. observed a'large ' number of MR tags and " Danger do" ' not Operate" tags in the radwaste control-room.

Discussions with-licensee personnel. indicated that manyc equipment problems existed- " in the~radwaste area'and equipment' availability'in this area.was; <. less than 80%. In the recent past',L equipment availability lin this: ' , -area had been less than 50%. The inspectors:were. told that' the ' > ' . availability of radwaste equipment;did:not,directly relate to plant capacity'nor.to the ability ofjthe pl. ant to" adequately. perform the s ! "radwaste function.. A maintenance supervisor hadirecently been

~ s , assigned to address radwaste problems'and the' area had~recentlym. -

' received: additional management. attention ( .A computer. report dated:

March 2,11990,-was? provided to the dnspectors,'which listed 256 open

,radwaste MWRs.L'A1though a number of MWRs were;of low significance, some documented equipment operability problems.; A lack-of! management - attention' and al_ location of resources in' the 'nonsafety-related ~ , y" radwaste area hadLresult'ed in-a significant deterioration'of - < radwiste equipment availability,3 efficiency and capability.

The , f" r . significance of this problemiwas lessened"because=the radwaste. ~!

, l facility was originally designed fo_r'a two unit plantxand therefore ' ' [ had excess, capacity for the present single unit' operation.

o - - The. inspectors noted that the.r$dwast'e' sludge tank level indicators '

l ~ , (m 'were inoperative.

The inspectors ~were told that maintenance for , l- 'these: level detectors was difficult-and these-controls had not been - effectively. utilizedLsince plant operations began April -17;-1987.

^ y' Licensee; personnel also statedithat another. level indication system

' existed for'the tanks; however, it was also considered unreliable, j'

' g .. Consequently,'the liquid radwaste -sludge tank.levelsTwere. controlled - ' ~ administrative 1y rather than by'using the installed level-indicators and annunciators that were described in Sections 111.2;1'.5.1 and ( 11.2.'1.6 of..the Clinton Updated. Safety Analysis: Report (USAR).

,4 s The tank administrative. controls were described in procedure - CPS'3909.03, " Operating Sludge System.'"- The radwaste control = room.

operator was required to monitor flows-in and.outiof the tanksito: , , determine when the? tank level-was-nearing capacity.~ Licensee 'i ' personnel; stated that, while:using this method in. July 1988, a; .. .% tank became'ov'erfilled and caused acspil1Joflradioactiv.e water and

For the work 1 , covered by the MWR-packages. reviewed,: this;did 'not seem to impact 1 the. quality or adequacy:of._the work.

However, the inspectors;did " ~ identify some concerns _with:the following packages: PEMCWA005 and PEMCWA007

The inspectors reviewed PMs associated with the circulating water pumps including monthly motor oil samples,x quarterly filter inspections or replacement, and motor ~

insulation resistance tests that were performed every five years._ _.

' ~ The PM program: allowed deferral of-PMsLup to'25% past the-due date.- The. inspectors-.noted that some circulating water pump PMs were-deferred beyond the 25% limit; for example, the quarterly filter: PM on pump 1CW01AA was-performed.in January 1989,-June'1989 andL _ y February 1990.

In addition, the oil sample PM on pump l1CWOPIC was not performed in October and November 1989.

> o > L ' sThe five year motor insulation 1 resistance tests-appeared to have met the acceptance criteria but the. quantitative values were not documented. =While the absolute values were unimportant, an;

'3 increasing:or decreasing value may indicate'a trend.

On July.17, f ~ 1988, the "A" circulating water pump' motor failed when all three _ phases' shorted to ground,; caused by.a phase-to phase fault;between * the motor windings. -An investigation report concluded that:the; l

cause of the failure was generic and a combination of design and: -l f - motorswere:manufacturedandpurchasedunderthesame>kthree' pump

,j]
manufacturing errors.
The licensee recognized:that al specifications.

' + .The 1A motor was rewound but no action was taken by the licensee on~ l the other two circulating water pump motors. -The five year test _ j interval was not changed. The licensee stated that a high potential

test was considered, but due'to concerns that the test: voltage would damage the insulation _or' accelerate its degradation, a decision was: _ d , ' made-to not perform a high potential test.The; inspectors' reviewed the vendor manual and noted that the vendor didLnot recommend an d over potential test but did recommend a high potential. test and , i several other tests as part of'PM, none of which were performed by ( the licensee. :The licensee's Nuclear Station Engineering Department-- l (NSED) recommendation. letter of September 20, 1988, states,.inLpart, q "... the failure'strongly suggests a. manufacturing' defect-in all

three (circulating water) motors.'_ The inspectors' believe that_ the

licensee's actions to monitor the two additional circulating pump. ~ -! motors were not prompt nor adequate.

The PM control' F '- , ' . completed by the due or late 'date, since rescheduling or deferral y established a new date. The number'of PM deferrals past the late.

j , date was small and'in most cases PMs were performed as scheduled! .; There did not appear to be a significant problem'with preventative jl ' ' maintenance in either..the safety-related or.nonsafety-related area.

., y + -The inspectors did identify that General Electric safety-related;

and nonsafety-related HFA.and HGA relays were not-included in the.

established PM program. The. vendor manual-recommended that types' .j , HFA and HGA relay. contacts be' periodically cleaned.

With :the HGA ll relays, the vendor also recommendeditesting the voltage pi.ckup;and

dropout voltages, and pickup timescat an interval'of one to.;two 1l years.

These periodic tests were not accomplished.

Additionally, the licensee did not perform an evaluation.or' review to exempt these q ' relays from the PM' program.

The inspectors recognize.'that there were no regulatory requirements to review vendor recommended maintenance for 80P. systems / equipment i for inciorporation in the -PM program.

However, the.above instances mg demonstrated that consideration of this information'could increase 1 ! < plant / component reliability.

Thus, the inspectors: recommended that" r, j th'e licensee should consider such reviews to ensure that'B0P J equipment failures do not cause unwarranted plant transients.

The upgrade-will be accomplished through a three phase < study which began with the Feedwater Delivery. System, Phase I.. Th'e- ' "' q study will involve ~ a systematic review and analysisiof the 80PF j ,_ system,'sub-system, component functions, failure modes (including trip logic / functions) and maintenance history;in. order to establish' , maintenance priorities consistent with s'afety, operability and'

< economic considerations.

Phase I was~being performed by the licensee at the time of the inspection.

The licensee anticipated that the Phase I: study would be completed by.. April. 30, 1990._ The licensee will then; modify the B0P maintenance program to ensure that the critical Feedwater Delivery System equipment isLappropriately; maintained to increase the reliability _of critical BOP equipment.

!

Although no determination of MIAP effectiveness ~ could be reached.

-i at the time-of the inspection,- the program should result in the-

" identification of significant-B0P1 issues.

j

QA interest in B0P problems in the past resulted from QA. review of j condition reports, previous QA audit findings, NRC-open items, and .1 licensee event reports which may have involved B0P. issues. :The QA 't Department did perform a limited scope audit on,B0P Turbine-Trips (Q-38-89-18, dated September ~ 27,1989).

The QA audit determined-a-I need.to identify all B0P equipment failures which could result inEa R Turbine / Generator trip with subsequent. reactor: scram and to developu .an appropriate maintenance program to enhance BOP reliability; (Note: The MIAP will: resolve the QA findings).

The licensee's corrective action for BOP issues' identified ~1n the-Operational Safety Team Inspection'(OSTI) and the Clinton'SALP 9 " reports (NRC Inspection Reports No. 50-461/89030(DRP) and No. 50-461/89001(DRP),"respectively) was comprehensive.' Most- ; actions however, have only been implemented;recently or.have yet i' h to be fully implemented.

The effectiveness of the licensee's action !' will be determined after fu111 implementation has been achieved.

The l inspectors determined through interviews with~the Licensing staff I that open items, commitments'to the NRC, and othen NRC identified BOP issues.are directed to the appropriate licensee staff, where ' l _- generic BOP implications can be investigated and corrective action initiated.

The Licensing staff tracked actions through closure.

The inspectors concluded that.NRC identified BOP issues were usually- " appropriately addressed by the licensee. - 1 c.

The licensee had.a comprehensive' industry feedback program which was managed by the Licensing staff. ' Procedure L.1, Revision 4,. " Feedback Program," dated September 15, 1989, governed, licensee efforts.

Any BOP issues identified by the NRC, industryi-vendor and Architect / Engineer documents are reviewed-for' applicability, referred to appropriate staff.for the' development of an' action plan, . and then tracked to action plan completion.

The inspectors reviewed l ' several NRC.and. industry originated notifications.

NRC' notifications generally received good management attention and-were promptly 'd . L' addressed.

The inspectors noted, however, that the licensee di not devote appropriate resources to certain industry originated ' recommendations prior to May 1989.

By Fall 1989'the licensee had dedicated the resources necessary to' properly address all applicable.

industry recommendations and to. review completed actions for effectiveness.

The inspectors interviewed-an Independent Safety Engineering Group (ISEG)' representative and determined that no'B0P failure occurred prior to Fall 1989, as a result of the insufficient.

action on some industry recommendations.

. . The inspectors concluded that the licensee's feedback program was effective in identifying and addressing ~ Clinton B0P issues, Thelicensee'cpeticipationinind'ustryinitiativesthroughtheBWR i d.

The inspectors also attended the' daily outage meetings.

These meetings appeared to be an excellent forum for. dissemination of accurate and concise information on outage progress, problems and anticipated problems.. Good consideration was given to ALARA for all planned and emerging work.

Personnel safety was emphasized.

Problems / events were promptly critiqued and information disseminated to work crews.

Good staff coordination mitigated many problems that arose during outage. briefings.

Good planning skills were demonstrated.

The outage appeared to be effectively controlled, (i.e., work efforts, planning and scheduling, contractor oversight' _ , procedural. compliance, minimizing personnel errors, emphasis on . personnel safety, and good communications). -In preparation,for the outage the licensee conducted " Outage Management Seminars." The inspectors attended sever'a1 of;these seminars and they seemed very effective with good planning, an' excellent exchange of,id,eas,'and good discussion of potentia 1' problem areas.

Root Cause Analysis .

The inspec{ ors reviewed the plant operating histury fof the past two. i years and selected five post trip review packages for' evaluation.

The packages covered trip numbers 15, 16, 19, 20.. and 21 from July 16, 1988 through July 31, 1989.

These reactor trips were all initiated by B0P equipment, The inspectors reviewed each package'to verify that the root cause of the trip had been ascertained and abnormal ' component responses identified. :The inspectors reviewed the corrective actions to ensure that they were adequate and timely and were effective in preventing recurrence.

' The inspectors reviewed the licensee's root cause analysis procedure CPS procedure No. 1041.01, " Post Trip Review," to verify that it contained adequate provisions for evaluation of the transient and review of abnormal equipment responses.

Post trip review packages 16 through 21 & were acceptable; however, the inspectors did' identify several concerns , with review package 15.

' This event was initiated by a failed limit switch on the turbine building condenser pit sump high water level circuit.

When this switch failed, in conjunction with an already failed sump level switch, all three circulating water pumps tripped.

This led to a loss of condenser vacuum: , 16?

t ,. ,

i i . . and a turbine trip, reactor trip, and: subsequent' main steam =line isolation.. The corrective action stated forithis trip was, W R C53329 written to investigate / troubleshoot / repair condenser pit. level ~ - switches." The first concern was that>this statement was not a , . description of corrective actions taken to prevent recurrence, but was only ansaction plan.

Nor could the' inspectors find any records which u indicated'that management had evaluated this event from a broad , perspective.

Questions such as the following were not addressed: (1) Was the design of the circulating water pump-trip circuit appropriate , with an automatic trip or would an alarm in the control room and-subsequent operator manual action be adequate, (2) Was the design of.

a this level switch appropriate for its use in this location, (3) Had-maintenance on the switch, or. lack thereof, caused this problem, . . ' (4) How did the unmonitored failure of the first level switch contribute-

to this~ event, and (5) Was'the lack of any external indication of the > status of the level switches (on or off) a contributor to this event.

The second concern deals with the classification of the type of trip (types I through V, (relating to understanding the cause of the trip, did ' all the plant equipment respond properly, and were there any abnormal chemistry or radiation readings)).. This trip was classified as' type I (the cause of the trip is known and all safety-related and important to safety.. equipment functioned properly during the transient).

However, the , trip package > stated that the A reactor recirculation flow control valve '(FCV) did not run back to the required position when reactor vessel water ' level dropped to level 4'setpoint but locked up.

Subsequently, it was

, reset and did run back to its required position.

These facts were. stated on the post tripfreview and should have resulted in classifying this trip l ' " as a type II' (equipment did not function properly).

Based on a review of ' ~ > < the existing records the inspectors were unable to determine if_this + apparent malfunction of the FCV was ever resoli/ed.

The' third' concern deals with onsite review of.the post trip review I ' , package by'the. Facility Review Group (FRG).

Minutes for FRG meeting , v 88-068 indicated that the FRG did identify a concern with the operation . of the FCV and that one of the members of the FRG agreed to initiate a

condition report'to investigate this problem; however, the condition

report'was.never initiated.

Additionally, the FRG meeting minutes , contained no indication that questions on the. acceptability of-the + ' ' circulating water pump trip circuit or maintenance of.the level switches-were ever discussed.

Discussions with members of the FRG indicated-that, . these questions were probably discussed but not documented.

Nor did the FRG identify that the trip package was improperly classified (based on " the response of the FCV).

ticensee Event Report 88-019 stated in various portions that all equipment responses to the transient that followed the scram occurred.

> as designed and that the FCVs ran back to minimum position when reactor vessel water level dropped past level 4.

When the inspectors. questioned the discrepancy between the post trip review package and the LER, concerning the response of the FCV, the licensee was unable to provide ,

A

> , \\

, _ u7 '

' , . . a . , V o .- . l ! l' l any objective evidence to resolve the conflict.

In subsequent reactor-trips the FCVs have responded properly; consequently, the inspectors did ' not have any concerns with their operability, but the inspectors were . concerned with the licensee's evaluation and documentation of abnormal-equipment responses.

Overall, the inspectors viewed the post trip review' process as a technique to be used by plant management to evaluate the response of the plant; and that the evaluation and any conclusions need to be documented / and completed prior to restart.

Additionally, the post trip review process was not just within the purview of the Operations Department, but was the responsibility of all departments at Clinton station.' The licensee was encouraged to improve its efforts in documenting evaluations and decisions.

The inspectors did note improvements in the documentation of the post trip review packages which occurred after trip 15.

In subsequent' discussions with licensee management they indicated that.the FRG would evaluate its method of reviewing and documenting evaluations of post trip packages.

No violations or deviations were identified.

Conclusions The inspectors concluded that nonsafety-related maintenance activities were acceptable and were performed'in much the~same manner-as safety-related maintenance activities.. MWRs and procedures were used, work was accomplished by skilled maintenance personnel, and the work was generally documented in the same manner as safety-related work. The previously noted problem of failure to follow maintenance procedures was not noted by the inspectors during this inspection.

Maintenance personnel appeared to be knowledgeable and adequately trained in the work performed.

The inspectors noted that some nonsafety-related work, such as radwaste, was given such a low priority for maintenance work that the ability of

the systems to perform their intended functions under abnormal conditions was questionable.

The implementation of PMs on nonsafety-related systems and components I was acceptable.

In most cases, all PM activities were controlled and conducted in the same manner as safety-related systems and components.

Vendor recommended PMs were adequately addressed for nonsafety-related equipment, in most cases.

PM work was performed by utilizing the _ same maintenance personnel, the same documentation, and the same methods as '

used for safety-related work.

In the tracking and control of PMs, however, an engineering evaluation was required for deferral or.

' rescheduling of safety-related PMs; an engineering evaluation was not , ' required for deferral or rescheduling of nonsafety-related PMs.

The'PM control systems did not provide an easy method for identifying PMs not completed by the due or late date.

The number of PM deferrals past'the - late date was small and in most cases PMs.were performed as scheduled.

There did not appear to be a significant problem with preventative , maintenance of BOP systems.
