SUBJECT:

CALLAWAY PLANT - INTEGRATED INSPECTION REPORT 05000483/2021001

Dear Mr. Diya:

On March 31, 2021, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed an inspection at Callaway Plant. On April 7, 2021, the NRC inspectors discussed the results of this inspection with Mr. B. Cox, Site Vice President, and other members of your staff. The results of this inspection are documented in the enclosed report.

One finding of very low safety significance (Green) is documented in this report. This finding involved a violation of NRC requirements. We are treating this violation as a non-cited violation (NCV) consistent with Section 2.3.2 of the Enforcement Policy.

On December 24, 2020, Callaway Plant experienced an electrical fault in the non-safety main generator. Subsequent inspections of the damage and development of repair plans resulted in an expected outage duration that was of sufficient duration for the NRC to consider whether to implement Inspection Manual Chapter (IMC) 0375, Implementation of the Reactor Oversight Process at Reactor Facilities in an Extended Shutdown Condition for Reasons Not Related to Performance. The Regional Administrator, Region IV approved a decision to not implement the additional oversight measures contained in IMC 0375. This decision is documented in ADAMS Accession No. ML21111A037.

If you contest the violation or the significance or severity of the violation documented in this inspection report, 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, Region IV; the Director, Office of Enforcement; and the NRC Resident Inspector at Callaway Plant.

If you disagree with a cross-cutting aspect assignment in this report, you should provide a response within 30 days of the date of this inspection report, with the basis for your disagreement, to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, ATTN: Document Control Desk, Washington, DC 20555-0001; with copies to the Regional Administrator, Region IV; and the NRC Resident Inspector at Callaway Plant. This letter, its enclosure, and your response (if any) will be made available for public inspection and copying at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html and at the NRC Public Document Room in accordance with Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations 2.390, Public Inspections, Exemptions, Requests for Withholding.

PLANT STATUS

Callaway Plant began the inspection period shut down for an unplanned outage and remained shut down through the end of the inspection period.

INSPECTION SCOPES

Inspections were conducted using the appropriate portions of the inspection procedures (IPs) in effect at the beginning of the inspection unless otherwise noted. Currently approved IPs with their attached revision histories are located on the public website at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/doc-collections/insp-manual/inspection-procedure/index.html. Samples were declared complete when the IP requirements most appropriate to the inspection activity were met consistent with Inspection Manual Chapter (IMC) 2515, Light-Water Reactor Inspection Program - Operations Phase. The inspectors reviewed selected procedures and records, observed activities, and interviewed personnel to assess licensee performance and compliance with Commission rules and regulations, license conditions, site procedures, and standards.

Starting on March 20, 2020, in response to the National Emergency declared by the President of the United States on the public health risks of the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19), resident inspectors were directed to begin telework and to remotely access licensee information using available technology. During this time, the resident inspectors performed periodic site visits each week; conducted plant status activities as described in IMC 2515, Appendix D, Plant Status; observed risk-significant activities; and completed onsite portions of IPs. In addition, resident and regional baseline inspections were evaluated to determine if all or portions of the objectives and requirements stated in the IP could be performed remotely. If the inspections could be performed remotely, they were conducted per the applicable IP. In some cases, portions of an IP were completed remotely and onsite. The inspections documented below met the objectives and requirements for completion of the IP.

INSPECTION RESULTS

Failure to Provide Adequate Work Instructions for Performing Maintenance on Motor Control Centers Cornerstone Significance Cross-Cutting Report Aspect Section Mitigating Green [H.9] - Training 71153 Systems NCV 05000483/2021001-01 Open/Closed The NRC identified a Green, non-cited violation of Technical Specification 5.4.1.a, Procedures, for the Callaways failure to provide adequate work instructions for performing maintenance on motor control centers. Specifically, Callaway's procedure, MPE-ZZ-QS001, Cleaning and Inspection of Motor Control Centers, Revision 36, failed to include instructions for the inspection of fuses and fuse clips including the adjustment of fuse clip tension as necessary to prevent fuse movement. As a result, the licensee failed to recognize that the control power fuse clip tension for safety-related essential service water isolation valve EFHV0024 was insufficient to prevent fuse movement, causing a loss of control power and inoperability of this valve.

Description:

Between July 22, 2020 and September 18, 2020, Callaway Plant experienced three unexpected A train engineered safety feature actuation systems (ESFAS) alarms while operating safety-related essential service water isolation valve EFHV0024. This valve is part of a valve pair that automatically closes during accident conditions to preserve ultimate heat sink inventory and isolate the essential service water (ESW) system from the non-safety service water system. Each instance of the A Train ESFAS alarm was accompanied by erratic and/or intermittent valve position indication (VPI) for EFHV0024.

The first unexpected A Train ESFAS alarm occurred on July 22, 2021 while restoring from a containment cooler flow rate surveillance test. The control room received the A train ESFAS alarm when the reactor operator attempted to close EFHV0024. No other abnormal indications were identified in the control room or following a walkdown of plant equipment in the field. The licensee documented the unexpected alarm in Condition Report 202003527 and generated Job 20002062 to investigate and repair the issue.

The control room received a second unexpected A train ESFAS alarm on August 17, 2020 while securing ESW after lowering the level in the ultimate heat sink (UHS) pond. The A train ESFAS alarm came in, then cleared, and the closed VPI flickered while opening EFHV0024. No other abnormal indications were observed in the control room or in the field.

The licensee documented this additional occurrence of the A train ESFAS alarm in Condition Report 202004022.

The third A train ESFAS alarm occurred on September 12, 2020 when closing EFHV0024 after starting ESW to lower UHS pond level. The A train ESFAS alarm came in, then cleared, and both the open and close VPI indicating lights flickered. No other abnormal indications were found in the control room or in the field. The licensee documented the third A train ESFAS alarm in Condition Report 202004586.

Callaway commenced troubleshooting the unexpected A train ESFAS alarms on September 18, 2020. While cycling EFHV0024, the licensee observed erratic voltage at the valve and intermittent VPI. Further investigation inside NG01AGF2, the feeder circuit breaker to EFHV0024, identified that the valves secondary control power fuse was improperly seated within the fuse clip. The licensee inspected the fuse and fuse clip and found the fuse clip tension was insufficient to prevent fuse movement, causing a loss of control power and inoperability of EFHV0024. The licensee adjusted the fuse clip tension and reinstalled the control power fuse. EFHV0024 was cycled multiple times as part of post-maintenance testing without any further issues and the valve was declared operable. The licensee documented the insufficient fuse clip tension identified during troubleshooting in Condition Report 202004735.

The inspectors reviewed the history of work associated with this component and associated procedures. The inspectors noted that the secondary control power fuse for EFHV0024 was last manipulated when it was installed on September 15, 2009. Following the initial installation, the control power fuse and fuse clip were not inspected as part of the licensees preventative maintenance program. Between 2009 and 2020, the fuse clip tension apparently relaxed until the tension was insufficient to prevent fuse movement causing a loss of control power and inoperability of EFHV0024. Industry operating experience indicates that this has been a known issue.

The inspectors determined that Callaways motor control center preventative maintenance procedure, MPE-ZZ-QS001, Cleaning and Inspection of Motor Control Centers, did not require fuse and fuse holder inspection at the time of the failure, contributing to the licensee not recognizing there was insufficient fuse clip tension, allowing fuse movement and eventually causing inoperability of EFHV0024; however, fuse and fuse clip checks had previously been included in earlier revision of the procedure due to past fuse and fuse clip problems.

The inspectors also reviewed procedures that describe the level of detail required in procedures and general awareness of electrical connections when performing maintenance.

For example, licensee procedure APA-ZZ-00013 Appendix 1, Maintenance Department Skill of the Craft Listings, Revision 9, states that the replacement, removal, and installation of fuses as activities that would not normally be detailed in written instructions. Procedure APA-ZZ-00013 Appendix 4, Maintenance Fundamentals and Technical Skills, Revision 2, discusses proper electrical connections and states that failure to ensure proper connection tightnesscould cause the connection to eventually fail. Ultimately, the inspectors determined that this combination of procedures did not ensure fuse tightness and good electrical connections until the several self-revealing failures occurred in 2020.

The inspectors independently reviewed the licensees cause evaluation and raised several questions to the licensee regarding the quality the cause evaluation, proposed corrective actions, and the extent of condition review. The licensees initial cause evaluation determined the cause of the ESFAS alarm was a loose fuse clip but failed to address the cause for the fuse clip becoming loose, procedural and training requirements for checking fuses and the fuse holder, or a review of operating experience on fuses and fuse holder vulnerabilities. In response to the inspectors questioning, the licensee revised the cause evaluation. The licensee documented the inspectors concerns and cause evaluation revision in Condition Report 202100214. The inspectors noted that the redundant isolation valve, paired and in series with EFHV0024, remained operable and would successfully isolate the safety-related ESW system from the non-safety service water system in an event, limiting the safety significance of the failure. The licensees corrective actions included revising the motor control center preventative maintenance Procedure MPE-ZZ-QS001, to prompt technicians to inspect motor control center fuse clip tightness every 48 months.

Corrective Actions: The licensee inspected the secondary control power fuse and clip for damage, adjusted the fuse clip tension, reinstalled the fuse, conducted post-maintenance testing, and revised the maintenance procedure to include fuse and fuse holder checks.

Corrective Action References: Condition Report 202004735

Performance Assessment:

Performance Deficiency: The failure to provide adequate work instructions for performing maintenance on motor control centers is a performance deficiency. Specifically, the failure to include fuse and fuse holder checks in the work scope for appropriate preventative maintenance procedures to detect problems known to occur based on station operating experience resulted in the failure to detect a repeat occurrence prior to a loss of operability in a safety-related motor-operated valve.

Screening: The inspectors determined the performance deficiency was more than minor, and therefore a finding, because it was associated with the Equipment Performance attribute of the Mitigating Systems cornerstone and adversely affected the cornerstone objective to ensure the availability, reliability, and capability of systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences. Specifically, the performance deficiency allowed the secondary control power fuse to move within the clip and caused intermittent electrical contact rendering EFHV0024 inoperable.

Significance: The inspectors assessed the significance of the finding utilizing Inspection Manual Chapter 0609, Attachment 4, Initial Characterization of Findings, dated December 13, 2019, and Appendix A, The Significance Determination Process (SDP) for Findings At-Power, Exhibit 2, Mitigating Systems Screening Questions, dated November 30, 2020. The finding was determined to be of very low safety significance (Green) because the finding (1)was not a design or qualification deficiency,

(2) did not represent a loss of the Probabilistic Risk Assessment (PRA) function of a single train Technical Specification (TS) system,
(3) did not represent a loss of the PRA function of one train of a multi-train TS system,
(4) did not represent a loss of the PRA function of two separate TS systems,
(5) did not represent a loss of a PRA system and/or function as defined in the Plant Risk Information Book or the licensees PRA and
(6) did not represent a loss of the PRA function of one or more non-TS trains of equipment designated as risk-significant in accordance with the licensees maintenance rule program. Specifically, the redundant valve, paired and in series with EFHV0024, retained its capability of isolating non-safety service water from safety-related ESW.

Cross-Cutting Aspect: H.9 - Training: The organization provides training and ensures knowledge transfer to maintain a knowledgeable, technically competent workforce and instill nuclear safety values. The inspectors concluded that the primary causal factor in removing preventative maintenance procedure instructions to verify fuse and fuse clip conditions was that the licensee had relied on training to ensure that skill of the craft would be sufficient to cover that scope. That specific training was subsequently discontinued following two cycles without a fuse clip issue. Therefore, the inspectors concluded that the finding had a Human Performance cross-cutting aspect associated with training, in that the verification of good electrical connections with fuses was no longer covered in the skill of the craft guidance and training for routine motor control center inspections.

Enforcement:

Violation: Technical Specification 5.4.1.a, Procedures, states in part, that written procedures shall be established, implemented, and maintained covering the applicable procedures listed in Regulatory Guide 1.33, Quality Assurance Program Requirements, Revision 2, Appendix A, February 1978. Regulatory Guide 1.33, Revision 2, Appendix A, Section 9, Procedures for Performing Maintenance, requires, in part, that maintenance that can affect the performance of safety-related equipment should be properly pre-planned and performed in accordance with written procedures, documented instructions, or drawings appropriate to the circumstances. The licensee established procedure, MPE-ZZ-QS001, Cleaning and Inspection of Motor Control Centers, Revision 36, in part, to meet this requirement.

Contrary to the above, from September 15, 2009 to September 18, 2020, the licensee failed to establish, implement and maintain the maintenance procedure for the cleaning and inspecting of motor control centers that can affect safety-related equipment. Specifically, Procedure MPE-ZZ-QS001, Cleaning and Inspection of Motor Control Centers, Revision 36, a maintenance procedure that can affect safety-related equipment, failed to include adequate instructions for the inspection of fuses and fuse clips including adjusting fuse clip tension as necessary to prevent fuse movement. As a result, the control power fuse clip tension for safety-related ESW isolation valve, EFHV0024, was insufficient to prevent fuse movement, causing a loss of control power and inoperability of EFHV0024.

Enforcement Action: This violation is being treated as a non-cited violation, consistent with Section 2.3.2 of the Enforcement Policy.
