(2) evaluated the licensees sample plan for the written examinations for compliance with 10 CFR 55.59 and NUREG-1021, as referenced in the facility requalification program procedures; and
(3) evaluated maintenance of license conditions for compliance with 10 CFR 55.53 by review of facility records (medical and administrative), procedures, and tracking systems for licensed operator training, qualification, and watchstanding. In addition, the inspectors reviewed remedial training for examination failures for compliance with facility procedures and responsiveness to address areas failed.

Furthermore, the inspectors:

(1) interviewed 10 personnel (6 operators, 2 instructors/evaluators, and 2 training supervisors) regarding the policies and practices for administering examinations;
(2) observed the administration of two dynamic simulator scenarios to one requalification crew by facility evaluators, including an operations department manager, who participated in the crew and individual evaluations; and
(3) observed two facility evaluators administer five job performance measures, including two in the control room simulator in a dynamic mode and three in the plant under simulated conditions. Each job performance measure was observed being performed by an average of four requalification candidates.

The inspectors also reviewed the remediation process for one individual, which involved a written examination failure. The inspectors also reviewed the results of the annual licensed operator requalification operating examinations for 2003. The biennial written examinations that were administered in August 2002 were also reviewed. The results of the examinations were assessed to determine the licensees appraisal of operator performance and the feedback of performance analysis to the requalification training program. The inspectors interviewed members of the training department, training department managers, and six members of an operating crew to assess the responsiveness of the licensed operator requalification program. The inspectors also observed the examination security maintenance for the operating tests during the examination week.

Additionally, the inspectors assessed the Wolf Creek plant-referenced simulator for compliance with 10 CFR 55.46 using Baseline Inspection Procedure IP-71111.11 (Section 03.11). The inspectors assessed the adequacy of the facility licensees simulation facility (simulator) for use in operator licensing examinations and for satisfying experience requirements as prescribed in 10 CFR 55.46, Simulation Facilities.

The inspectors reviewed a sample of simulator performance test records (i.e., transient tests, surveillance tests, malfunction tests, and scenario-based-tests), simulator work request records (simulator modification packages), and processes for ensuring simulator fidelity commensurate with 10 CFR 55.46. The inspectors also interviewed members of the licensees simulator configuration control group as part of this review.

b. Findings

No findings of significance were identified.

4OA2 Identification and Resolution of Problems

Reactor Safety Cornerstone

a. Inspection Scope

On October 2, 2003, the inspector completed the review of the licensees corrective actions in response to an NRC identified finding in NRC Inspection Report 05000482/2003004, Section 1R17. The inspector used the guidance in Inspection Procedure 71152, Section 03.02, for the review. The finding in NRC Inspection Report 2003004 was the result of the licensees failure to identify and correct a procedure deficiency. This failure was documented as an NRC identified finding in NRC Inspection Report 05000482/2002008, Section 1R05.4.

b. Findings

No findings of significance were identified.

4OA3 Event Followup

1. Plant Response to a Reactor Trip

a. Inspection Scope

On August 25, 2003, the inspector completed the review of the plant response to a reactor trip. On August 18, 2003, the plant tripped on steam Generator B low-low level after the associated main feed isolation valved closed. All safety systems responded as required. However, there were two noteworthy equipment issues. Following the trip, the steam Generator A atmospheric relief valve was slow to close in automatic. The operators took manual control and closed the valve. Also, the main steam dumps did not operate automatically when the operators shifted them to the steam pressure mode.

The operators were able to operate the steam dumps in the manual mode. These issues did not significantly affect the operator response to the trip.

The licensee repaired the feedwater isolation valve, atmospheric relief valve, and steam dump controller. The postmaintenance tests on these components was successful.

The licensee restarted the plant on August 19, 2003.

Findings No findings of significance were identified.

2. (Closed) Licensee Event Report (LER) 50-482/1999-009-00,01: Inadequate Fire

Separation Could Result in Loss of Charging Water Capability On August 11, 1999, the licensee identified that volume control tank outlet isolation Valves BG-LCV-112B and -C and level Transmitters BG-LT-112 and -185 did not meet minimum separation criteria required for safe shutdown following a fire. In the event of a fire, a potential existed for gas intrusion into the suction of the centrifugal charging pumps. Immediate corrective actions included the implementation of fire watches in the affected areas. The long-term corrective actions included modifying off-normal Procedure OFN KC-016, Fire Response, to ensure an adequate suction source is maintained to the centrifugal charging pumps at all times.

Additionally, the licensee relocated level Transmitter BG-LT-112 in order to meet the separation criteria. This finding is more than minor because it had a credible impact on safety, in that, if there was a gas intrusion into the suction of the centrifugal charging pumps, high head safety injection could have been disabled.

The finding affects the mitigating systems cornerstone and was considered to have very low safety significance (Green) using an Appendix F Phase II significant determination process because of the low ignition frequencies in the areas, the low combustible loading in the areas, the automatic fire detection capabilities, and the ability of operator actions to extinguish the postulated fire and restore an adequate suction source to the centrifugal charging pumps. This licensee-identified finding involved a violation of License Condition 2.C(5)(a) of Facility Operating License NPF-42. The enforcement aspects of the violation are discussed in Section 4OA7. This LER is closed.

4OA6 Meetings

.1 Exit Meeting Summaries

The inspector presented the resident inspection results to Ms. D. Jacobs and other members of licensee management after the conclusion of the inspection on October 3, 2003.

The inspector presented the licensed operator requalification inspection results to Mr. B. T. McKinney, Site Vice President, and other members of licensee management after the conclusion of the inspection on August 8, 2003.

The inspectors asked the licensee whether any materials examined during the inspection should be considered proprietary. No proprietary information was identified.

4OA7 Licensee-Identified Violations

The following violation of very low safety significance (Green) was identified by the licensee, is a violation of NRC requirements, and met the criteria of Section VI of the NRC Enforcement Policy, NUREG-1600, for being dispositioned as a noncited violation.

1. Volume Control Tank Outlet Minimum Separation Criteria

License Condition 2.C(5)(a) of Facility Operating License NPF-42 requires, in part, that the licensee shall maintain all provisions of the approved fire protection program as described in the SNUPPS Final Safety Analysis Report for the facility through Revision 17 and the Wolf Creek site addendum through Revision 15. In 1987, Revision 00, of the Wolf Creek Updated Safety Analysis Report was issued and combined the SNUPPS Final Safety Analysis Report, Revision 17, and the Wolf Creek site addendum, Revision 15, into the Updated Safety Analysis Report. Table 9.5E,Section III.G, of the Updated Safety Analysis Report details the licensees methods of ensuring that one of the redundant trains of postfire safe shutdown equipment is free of fire damage.

Contrary to this, on August 11, 1999, the licensee identified that volume control tank outlet isolation Valves BG-LCV-112B and -C and Level Transmitters BG-LT-112 and

-185 did not meet minimum separation criteria required for safe shutdown following a fire. The conditions have been entered into the licensees corrective action program as Performance Improvement Request 99-1100. Due to the low ignition frequencies of the areas, the low combustible loading in the areas, the automatic fire detection capabilities, and the ability of operator actions to extinguish the postulated fire and restore an adequate suction source to the centrifugal charging pumps, this violation is of very low safety significance and is being treated as a noncited violation.
