SUMMARY OF FINDINGS
IR 05000483/2006004; 06/24/2006 - 09/23/2006; Callaway Plant: Event Followup and Other
Activities.
This report covered a 3-month inspection by region based emergency preparedness and health physics inspectors and resident inspectors. Three Green noncited violations and a Green finding were identified. The significance of most findings is indicated by their color (Green,
White, Yellow, or Red) using Inspection Manual Chapter 0609, Significance Determination Process. Findings for which the Significance Determination Process does not apply may be Green or 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.
Inspector-Identified and Self-Revealing Findings
Cornerstone: Initiating Events
- Green.
A self-revealing noncited violation of Technical Specification 5.4.1.a,
Procedures, was identified following two unplanned 50 gallon per minute volume control tank loss of inventory events. Both events occurred due to an inadequate equipment control procedure. On July 17 and 18, 2006, planned maintenance on the boron thermal regeneration system inlet valve created a flow path from the reactor coolant system letdown line to the equipment drain system from a known leaking demineralizer drain valve. AmerenUE did not have an administrative procedure or other effective means to control letdown line configuration with the leaking demineralizer drain valve. AmerenUE placed this issue in the corrective action program as Callaway Action Request 200605751.
This finding is greater than minor because this finding is associated with the reactor safety initiating events cornerstone attribute of procedure quality and affected the objective to limit the likelihood of events that upset plant stability. Using the Manual Chapter 0609, Significance Determination Process, Phase 1 Worksheet, the inspectors determined that this finding is only of very low significance because the condition did not result in the reactor coolant system Technical Specification leakage limit being exceeded (this leakage is not considered reactor coolant system leakage), did not contribute to both the likelihood of a reactor trip and the likelihood that mitigating equipment or functions would be unavailable, and did not increase the likelihood of a fire or flooding. This finding has a crosscutting aspect in the area of human performance associated with resources because AmerenUE did not ensure a complete and accurate equipment control procedure was available to plant operators (Section 4AO3).
- Green.
A self-revealing noncited violation of Technical Specification 5.4.1.a,
Procedures, was identified after an inadequate turbine trip procedure resulted in an unplanned manual reactor trip. On May 12, 2006, the inadequate procedure lead to a steam generator level transient after plant operators failed to stabilize reactor power following a turbine trip. Operators manually tripped the reactor following a high steam generator level feedwater isolation. AmerenUE placed this issue in the corrective action program as Callaway Action Requests 200603734 and 200603736.
This finding is greater than minor because this finding is associated with the reactor safety initiating events cornerstone attributes of procedure quality and affects the objective to limit the likelihood of events that upset plant stability. Using the Manual Chapter 0609, Significance Determination Process, Phase 1 Worksheet, the inspectors determined this finding to be of very low safety significance because the condition was not a loss of coolant accident initiator, did not contribute to both the likelihood of a reactor trip and the likelihood that mitigating systems would be unavailable, and did not increase the likelihood of fire or flooding. This finding has a crosscutting aspect in the area of human performance associated with resources because AmerenUE did not ensure complete, accurate, up-to-date design documentation and procedures were available to plant operators (Section 4OA5).
- Green.
An NRC identified finding was identified after AmerenUE restarted the reactor on May 12, 2006, without completing an adequate reactor posttrip evaluation. The licensee did not adequately address discrepancies between expected and actual plant response during the transient leading to the reactor trip. The licensee did not identify the cause of the trip or implement immediate corrective actions prior to restart as required by plant administrative procedures. AmerenUE placed this issue in the corrective action program as Callaway Action Request 200605766.
This finding is greater than minor because it could become a more significant event if left uncorrected. This finding is associated with the initiating events cornerstone. Using the Manual Chapter 0609, Significance Determination Process, Phase 1 Worksheet, the inspectors determined this finding is of very low safety significance because the condition was not a loss of coolant accident initiator, did not contribute to both the likelihood of a reactor trip and the likelihood that mitigating systems would be unavailable, and did not increase the likelihood of fire or flooding. This finding has a crosscutting aspect in the area of problem identification and resolution associated with the corrective action program because AmerenUE did not thoroughly evaluate the cause of the reactor trip or implement timely corrective actions prior to the Emergency Duty Officer authorizing reactor restart (Section 4OA5).
Cornerstone: Emergency Preparedness
- Green.
The inspectors identified a Green noncited violation of 10 CFR 50.54(q) for a failure to adequately implement the emergency plan. The licensee failed to declare an ALERT when conditions existed that met Emergency Action Level 3J, Hazards Affecting Plant Safety. AmerenUE placed this issue in the corrective action program as Callaway Action Request 200607835.
This finding is greater than minor because this finding is associated with the reactor safety emergency preparedness cornerstone attribute of emergency response organization performance and affects the cornerstone objective of the licensee protecting public health and safety during a radiological emergency. The inspectors used Manual Chapter 0609, Significance Determination Process, Appendix B,
Emergency Preparedness Significance Determination Process, Sheet 1, Failure to Comply, because the licensee misunderstood the emergency action level, but otherwise adequately implemented the emergency plan. The inspectors concluded this finding is of very low safety significance because the performance deficiency is related to the inability to implement one emergency action level at the ALERT level, which is a risk significant planning standard problem but not a risk significant planning standard function failure or a risk significant planning standard degraded function. This finding has a crosscutting aspect in the area of human performance associated with decision making because the licensee did not provide training to the emergency response organization that clearly communicated the basis for decisions associated with the language changes made to Emergency Action Level 3J (Section 4OA3).

b. Findings
Interpretation of Scrams with Loss of Normal Heat Removal PI
Introduction:
The inspectors are reviewing the AmerenUE interpretation of scrams with loss of normal heat removal reporting guidance.
Description:
The inspectors identified that a loss of normal feedwater contributed to the February 15, 2004, and May 12, 2006 reactor trips. AmerenUE did not include either event when reporting the scrams with loss of normal heat removal PI. Both trips occurred after a steam generator level transient resulted in a feedwater isolation and the loss of both main feed pumps. NEI 99-02, Regulatory Assessment Indicator Guideline, Revision 4, listed the loss of all main feedwater due to a high steam generator level as an example of a scram with loss of normal heat removal. AmerenUE did not include either of these trips in their PI report because a feedwater isolation occurs following most Callaway reactor trips. Initial correspondence with the NRCs Performance Assessment Branch of Nuclear Reactor Regulation indicated that this issue needs further review. This issue is considered unresolved pending additional NRC review to determine whether the PI reporting threshold was met for the February 15, 2004, and May 12, 2006, reactor trips: Unresolved Item (URI)05000483/2006004-01, Interpretation of Scrams with Loss of Normal Heat Removal Performance Indicator.
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 corrective action program. This assessment was accomplished by reviewing the daily CAR screening report and control room logs and attending selected CAR board and work control meetings. 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 corrective action program;
- (2) verified that corrective actions were commensurate with the significance of the issue; and
- (3) identified conditions that might warrant additional followup through other baseline inspection procedures.
Selected Issue Followup Inspection In addition to the routine review, the inspectors selected the listed issues 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.

4OA3 Event Followup
.1 Inadequate Equipment Control Procedure Resulted in Loss of Volume Control
Tank (VCT) Inventory
a. Inspection Scope
The inspectors reviewed the circumstances and the operator response to the VCT level transient that occurred on July 17 and 18, 2006.
b. Findings
Introduction:
A self-revealing Green noncited (NCV) of Technical Specification 5.4.1.a, Procedures, was identified after two unplanned 50 gallon per minute (gpm) loss of VCT inventory events occurred due to an inadequate equipment control procedure.
Description:
On two occasions, an inadequate equipment and status control procedure resulted in leakage past a known leaking boron thermal regeneration system demineralizer drain valve. Each event resulted in a 50 gpm loss of inventory from the VCT. On July 17, 2006, planned maintenance on the boron thermal regeneration system inlet valve created a flow path from the RCS letdown line to the demineralizer drain valve. Plant operators quickly recognized the VCT level decrease and terminated the leak. On July 18, 2006, after maintenance was completed on the inlet valve, the outlet from the demineralizer tank was restored to the normal open position, as required by the system operating procedure, and again created the flow path from the RCS letdown line. For the past year, the licensee had used caution cards to keep both the inlet and outlet demineralizer valves closed to isolate the demineralizer because of the leaking drain valve. Because of changes required by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, the licensee discontinued using caution cards to administratively control deficient equipment; however, AmerenUE was still in the process of developing a program when this issue occurred. Neither Procedure ODP-ZZ-00310, WPA and Caution Tagging, Revision 24, nor any other administrative control method was effective in protecting the VCT water inventory.
Analysis:
Failure of the tagging and status control procedure to prevent loss of VCT inventory is a performance deficiency. This finding is greater than minor because this finding is associated with the reactor safety initiating events cornerstone attribute of procedure quality and affects the objective to limit the likelihood of events that upset plant stability. Using the Manual Chapter 0609, Significance Determination Process, Phase 1 Worksheet, the inspectors determined that this finding is only of very low significance because the condition did not result in the RCS Technical Specification leakage limit being exceeded (this leakage is not considered RCS leakage), did not contribute to both the likelihood of a reactor trip and the likelihood that mitigating equipment or functions would be unavailable, and did not increase the likelihood of a fire or internal/external flood. This finding has a crosscutting aspect in the area of human performance associated with resources because AmerenUE did not ensure a complete and accurate equipment control procedure was available to plant operators.
Enforcement:
Technical Specification 5.4.1.a, Procedures, requires that written procedures be established, implemented, and maintained covering the activities specified in Appendix A, Typical Procedures for Pressurized Water Reactors, of Regulatory Guide 1.33, Quality Assurance Program Requirements, February 1978.
Appendix A, Item 1c, requires procedures for equipment control. Contrary to the above, Procedure ODP-ZZ-00310 did not have a defined manner to control deficient equipment. On July 17 and 18, 2006, the operations department work control group did not effectively implement equipment control of the leaking boron thermal regeneration system demineralizer drain valve. Because this finding is of very low safety significance and was entered into the licensee's corrective action program (CAR 200605751), this violation is being treated as an NCV, consistent with Section VI.A.1 of the NRC Enforcement Policy: NCV 05000483/2006004-02, Inadequate Equipment Control Procedure Resulted in Loss of Volume Control Tank Inventory.
.2 Program Failure to Ensure EAL Entered when Meeting the Defined Limit for Hazardous
Atmosphere
a. Inspection Scope
The inspectors reviewed the circumstances and licensee response to the hazardous atmosphere created by painting in the lower auxiliary feedwater area that occurred on September 8, 2006.
b. Findings
Introduction:
The inspectors identified a Green NCV of 10 CFR 50.54(q) for a failure to adequately implement the emergency plan. The licensee failed to declare an ALERT when conditions existed that met EAL 3J, Hazards Affecting Plant Safety.
Description:
On September 8, 2006, following painting in the area below the auxiliary feedwater pumps, the short-term exposure limit for methanol airborne concentrations as defined in Callaway Plant Procedure CDP-ZZ-01100, Atmospheric Hazard Control Program, Revision 0, was exceeded. Procedure CDP-ZZ-01100 defines a hazardous atmosphere as one in which any short-term exposure limit is exceeded. The shift manager was informed of the event approximately 1.5 hours5.787037e-5 days <br />0.00139 hours <br />8.267196e-6 weeks <br />1.9025e-6 months <br /> after the short-term exposure limit was exceeded, which was approximately one hour after the methanol airborne concentrations had decreased below the short-term exposure limit.
Subsequently, AmerenUE personnel reviewed the Callaway Plant EALs and concluded that the event did not meet the criteria for EAL 3J related to release of flammable or toxic gases in a safety-related area.
The inspectors determined that plant conditions did meet the criteria in EAL 3J for declaration of an ALERT. During Revision 24 to the EALs, AmerenUE added language in EAL 3J to include which jeopardizes operations of systems required to maintain safe operation or to establish or maintain cold shutdown. This change was made by the licensee without NRC prior approval via 10 CFR 50.54(q) and, as such, should not have created an intent change to the EAL. Previously, the EAL included, Report or detection of toxic or flammable gases, not properly contained, within or adjacent to any of the following Safe Shutdown Areas, that have created a Hazardous Atmosphere per CDP-ZZ-01100. Following the addition of the words in Revision 24, the licensee implemented an intent change that lead to the failure to declare an ALERT on September 8, 2006. Plant training required both a hazardous environment and an impact to safe operation of the plant to meet the EAL. The addition of the Revision 24 language resulted in the licensee adding a criteria which was not intended in the prior NRC-approved version of the EAL. The inspectors concluded that the licensee should have declared an ALERT based on exceeding the short-term exposure limit for a hazardous environment as defined in Procedure CDP-ZZ-01100.
Analysis:
Failure to make a proper emergency classification due to a misunderstanding of an EAL is a performance deficiency. This finding is greater than minor because this finding is associated with the reactor safety emergency preparedness cornerstone attribute of emergency response organization performance, and affects the cornerstone objective of the licensee protecting public health and safety during a radiological emergency. The inspectors used Manual Chapter 0609, Significance Determination Process, Appendix B, Emergency Preparedness Significance Determination Process, Sheet 1, Failure to Comply, because the licensee misunderstood the EAL, but otherwise adequately implemented the emergency plan. The inspectors concluded this finding is of very low safety significance because the performance deficiency is related to the inability to implement one EAL at the ALERT level, which is a risk significant planning standard problem but not a risk significant planning standard function failure or a risk significant planning standard degraded function. This finding has a crosscutting aspect in the area of human performance associated with decision making because the licensee did not provide training to the emergency response organization that clearly communicated the basis for decisions associated with the language changes made to EAL 3J.
Enforcement:
Title 10 CFR 50.54(q), requires the licensee to follow their emergency plan and EALs described in 10 CFR 50.47(b)(4). EAL 3J as written and approved requires an ALERT if a hazardous atmosphere (as defined in licensee procedures)exists in an area adjacent to or containing equipment needed to reach and/or maintain cold shutdown. Contrary to this, the licensee failed to declare an Alert in accordance with EAL 3J when a hazardous environment existed adjacent to a safe shutdown area.
Because this finding is of very low safety significance and was entered into the licensee's corrective action program (CAR 200607835), this violation is being treated as an NCV, consistent with Section VI.A of the NRC Enforcement Policy:
NCV 05000483/2006004-03, Program Failure to Ensure Emergency Action Level Entered when Meeting the Defined Limit for Hazardous Atmosphere.

Review Adequacy of Procedure and Operator Response to a Turbine Trip
a. Inspection Scope
The inspectors reviewed the adequacy of procedures and operator response following a May 12, 2006, turbine and reactor trip. The inspectors discussed the trip with operations, engineering, and licensee management personnel to gain an understanding of the event and assess followup actions. The inspectors reviewed operator actions taken in accordance with licensee procedures and reviewed unit and system indications to verify that actions and system responses were as expected. The inspectors discussed the trip with the licensees root cause analysis team and assessed their actions to gather, review, and assess information leading up to and following the reactor trip. The inspectors later reviewed the initial investigation report and root cause determination to assess the detail of review and adequacy of the root cause and proposed corrective actions prior to unit restart.
b. Findings
Introduction:
A self-revealing Green NCV of Technical Specification 5.4.1.a, Procedures, was identified after an inadequate turbine trip procedure lead to an unplanned reactor trip. The inadequate procedure resulted in a steam generator level transient after plant operators failed to stabilize reactor power following a turbine trip.
Description:
On May 12, 2006, plant operators manually tripped the reactor during a steam generator level transient. The transient began from 48 percent reactor power after the operators manually tripped the main turbine after observing high main turbine vibration. Plant operators entered Procedure OTO-AC-00001, Turbine Trip Below P-9, Revision 9. Reactor power was driven to about 10 percent over the next 4 minutes by automatic rod control. The rapid load reduction and loss of feedwater heating resulted in high steam generator water levels. As a result, a high steam generator level feedwater isolation occurred. Operators manually tripped the reactor following the feedwater isolation.
The inspectors concluded that Procedure OTO-AC-00001 was inadequate to mitigate the event. The plant was designed to sustain a turbine trip without a reactor trip at less than 50 percent power (Permissive P-9). The mitigation strategy credited a 10 percent power reduction with control rods to bring the plant within the 40 percent steam bypass capability. Reactor operators were expected to stabilize reactor power above 20 percent and transition feedwater control to the bypass valves prior to conducting a controlled shutdown. Procedure OTO-AC-00001 did not require reactor power to be stabilized until step 8 of the procedure, well after reactor power was below 20 percent.
URI 05000483/2006003-04 also described operator performance issues associated with the transient. Procedure OTO-AC-00001, step 8, required the operators to check whether reactor power was stabilized and step 10 directed plant operators to transfer feedwater control to the bypass valves before reaching 20 percent power. Operators failed to stabilize reactor power above 20 percent prior to transferring feedwater control to the bypass valves. In addition, step 10 and Attachment A required steam generator level to be trending to between 45 and 55 percent prior to opening each feedwater bypass valve. Opening the bypass valve was intended to provide additional steam generator feed flow to drive level slightly higher, resulting in automatic closure of the main feedwater regulation valves. The inspectors identified that steam generator level was greater than 80 percent, and trending higher, at the time the operator opened the first feedwater bypass valve. The main feedwater regulation valves were already closed due to the high steam generator level. A high steam generator level feedwater isolation (91 percent level) occurred about a minute after the operator opened the first bypass valve. However, the licensee concluded that, because reactor power was below the operating range of the main feed water regulation valves, the high steam generator level may have occurred regardless of the operator actions to open the bypass valves. The inspectors agreed with this conclusion. These findings constitute violations of minor significance and are similar to Example 4.b in Manual Chapter 0612, Appendix E.
These minor violations are not subject to enforcement action in accordance with Section IV of the NRC's Enforcement Policy.
Analysis:
The performance deficiency associated with this finding involved an inadequate procedure. This finding is greater than minor because it is associated with the reactor safety initiating events cornerstone attributes of procedure quality and affected the objective to limit the likelihood of events that upset plant stability. Using the Manual Chapter 0609, Significance Determination Process, Phase 1 Worksheet, the inspectors determined this finding to be of very low safety significance because the condition was not a loss of coolant accident initiator, did not contribute to both the likelihood of a reactor trip and the likelihood that mitigating systems would be unavailable, and did not increase the likelihood of fire or flooding. This finding has a crosscutting aspect in the area of human performance associated with resources because AmerenUE did not ensure complete, accurate, up-to-date design documentation and procedures were available to plant operators.
Enforcement:
Technical Specification 5.4.1.a, Procedures, requires that written procedures be established, implemented, and maintained covering the activities specified in Appendix A, Typical Procedures for Pressurized Water Reactors, of Regulatory Guide 1.33, Quality Assurance Program Requirements, February 1978.
Appendix A, Item 6.q, requires procedures for turbine and generator trips.
Procedure OTO-AC-00001 was required to mitigate a turbine trip below P-9. Contrary to the above, on May 12, 2006, Procedure OTO-AC-00001 was not adequately established to allow plant operators to successfully mitigate a turbine trip below P-9.
Because of the very low safety significance and AmerenUEs action to place this issue in their corrective action program (CARs 200603734 and 200603736), this violation is being treated as an NCV in accordance with Section VI.A.1 of the Enforcement Policy:
NCV 05000483/2006004-04, Review Adequacy of Procedure and Operator Response to a Turbine Trip.

Review of Less Than Adequate Reactor Posttrip Evaluation
a. Inspection Scope
The inspectors reviewed the adequacy of AmerenUEs initial review of the May 12, 2006, reactor trip. The inspectors discussed the trip with operations, engineering, and licensee management personnel to gain an understanding of the event and assess followup actions, and reviewed Administrative Procedure APA-ZZ-00542, Event Review, Revision 8. The inspectors discussed the trip with the licensees root cause analysis team and assessed the teams actions to gather, review, and assess information leading up to and following the trip.
b. Findings
Introduction.
The inspectors identified a Green finding after AmerenUE restarted the reactor without completing an adequate reactor posttrip evaluation. They failed to thoroughly review the trip data and compare it to the plant design and therefore incorrectly identified the cause of the trip.
Description:
On May 12, 2006, AmerenUE restarted the reactor without adequately identifying the cause of the steam generator level transient that lead to the manual reactor trip (a detailed description of the event is provided in Section 4OA5.1 of this report). Administrative Procedure APA-ZZ-00542, Event Review, defined reactor trips as either Condition I or Condition II. Procedure APA-ZZ-00542 defined a Condition II trip as when the cause of the trip is positively known and will be corrected before restart. AmerenUE designated the May 12, 2006, event as a Condition II trip and authorized reactor restart on May 12, 2006.
The inspectors identified that the May 12, 2006, plant transient response was inconsistent with the design basis. The failure of the plant operator to stabilize reactor power following the turbine trip led to the steam generator level transient. The AmerenUE pre-restart evaluation failed to adequately identify the inconsistencies between the expected and actual plant response. As a result, the licensee did not identify the sequence problem with Procedure OTO-AC-00001 or implement corrective actions prior to reactor restart.
Analysis:
The performance deficiency associated with this finding involved the failure of AmerenUE to adequately identify and correct the cause of the reactor trip prior to restart. This finding is greater than minor because it could become a more significant event if left uncorrected. This finding is associated with the initiating events cornerstone. Using the Manual Chapter 0609, Significance Determination Process, Phase 1 Worksheet, the inspectors determined this finding is of very low safety significance because the condition was not a loss of coolant accident initiator, did not contribute to both the likelihood of a reactor trip and the likelihood that mitigating systems would be unavailable, and did not increase the likelihood of fire or flooding.
This finding has a crosscutting aspect in the area of problem identification and resolution associated with the corrective action program because AmerenUE did not thoroughly evaluate the cause of the reactor trip or implement timely corrective actions prior to the Emergency Duty Officer authorizing reactor restart.
Enforcement:
No violation of regulatory requirements occurred. The licensee entered this finding into their corrective action program (CAR 200603734):
