SUBJECT:
SOUTH TEXAS PROJECT ELECTRIC GENERATING STATION - NRC INSPECTION REPORT 50-498/02-07; 50-499/02-07
Dear Mr. Cottle:
On June 15, 2002, the NRC completed an inspection at your South Texas Project Electric Generating Station, Unit 2. No inspection of Unit 1 was performed under this report number.
The enclosed report documents the inspection findings which were discussed on June 27, 2002, with Mr. J. Sheppard and other members of your staff.
This inspection examined activities conducted under your licenses as they relate to safety and compliance with the Commissions rules and regulations and with the conditions of your licenses. Within these areas, the inspection consisted of selected examination of procedures and representative records, observations of activities, and interviews with personnel. This inspection was the first in a series of three inspections to cover steam generator replacement activities at the South Texas Project. This inspection covered design and planning activities in support of steam generator replacement.
Based on the results of this inspection no finding of significance was identified.
In accordance with 10 CFR 2.790 of the NRCs "Rules of Practice," a copy of this letter, its enclosure, and your response will be made 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 Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html (the Public Electronic Reading Room).

SUMMARY OF FINDINGS South Texas Project Electric Generating Station NRC Inspection Report 50-498/02-07; 50-499/02-07 IR 05000498-02-07; IR 05000499-02-07; on 03/17-06/15/2002; South Texas Project Nuclear Operating Company; South Texas Project Electric Generating Station, Unit 2. Integrated Resident & Regional Report of Steam Generator Replacement Activities.
This inspection was conducted by resident and regional engineering inspectors. This inspection was the first in a series of three inspections to cover steam generator replacement activities at the South Texas Project in accordance with the approved inspection plan. This inspection covered design and planning activities by the licensee. No findings of significance were identified. Unit 1 was not included in this inspection.
Report Details Plant Status Unit 2 began the inspection period at full power. On May 18, 2002, power was reduced to 80 percent to perform maintenance on main turbine governor valves. Power was returned to 100 percent the same day. On June 14, operators manually tripped the unit when Feedwater Isolation Valve 2C unexpectedly shut during a partial stroke test. The unit remained in Mode 3 at the conclusion of this inspection.
1. REACTOR SAFETY Cornerstones: Initiating Events, Mitigating Systems, Barrier Integrity 1R02 Evaluation of 10 CFR 50.59 Safety Evaluations for Steam Generator Replacement a. Inspection Scope (71111.02)
The inspectors reviewed selected safety evaluations and design changes (see list in attachment) associated with the replacement of the Unit 2 steam generators scheduled for Refueling Outage 9. This review was performed in accordance with NRC Inspection Procedure 50001, Steam Generator Replacement Inspection, and the purpose was to evaluate design changes to verify that they were performed in accordance with the requirements of 10 CFR 50.59.
The Unit 1 steam generator replacement was previously assessed in Inspection Report 50-498/99-05. Since the replacement will be a nearly identical process, the inspectors assessed any changes to the design packages that occurred as a result of the Unit 1 steam generator replacement.
b. Findings No findings of significance were identified.
4. OTHER ACTIVITIES (OA)
4OA5 Steam Generator Replacement Activities
.1 Preoutage Planning and Controls a. Inspection Scope (50001)
The inspectors inspected the licensees activities associated with planning for the steam generator replacement in Unit 2. The inspectors performed an organizational review of the licensee and its contractors. This included a review of organizational charts and the planned staffing requirements the licensee had outlined. The inspectors evaluated project planning and status with regard to the observed activities of replacement steam generator receipt, transport, and storage. The inspectors discussed with licensee personnel adverse impacts to the operating unit and problem identification and resolution (1272 lessons learned) from the Unit 1 steam generator replacement and industry events. The inspectors also reviewed the licensees Mockup Training Plan.
