INSPECTION RESULTS

Failure to Verify the Adequacy of the Design of the Reactor Building to Suppression Chamber Vacuum Breakers Cornerstone Significance Cross-Cutting Report Aspect Section Barrier Integrity Green None (NPP) 71153 NCV 05000341/2019002-01 Open/Closed A finding of very low safety significance and an associated Non-Cited Violation (NCV) of 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion III, Design Control, was identified by the inspectors when the licensee failed to verify the adequacy of the design of the reactor building to suppression chamber vacuum breakers to ensure the associated butterfly isolation valves automatically closed upon increasing torus pressure and remain closed during all containment high pressure conditions. Specifically, during various loss of offsite power (LOP) and loss of coolant accident (LOCA) scenarios, the butterfly valves would not close automatically without manual operator action.

Description:

The reactor building to suppression chamber vacuum breakers consist of a power-to-close, spring-to-open butterfly isolation valve and a testable check valve in series. The function of the reactor building to suppression chamber vacuum breakers is to relieve vacuum when primary containment depressurizes below reactor building pressure. In addition, the two vacuum breakers in series (butterfly valve and check valve) must be closed to maintain a leak tight primary containment boundary. In accordance with Fermis Updated Final Safety Analysis Report (UFSAR), the butterfly valves are normally closed and open automatically to prevent formation of a negative pressure in the torus. The butterfly valves close automatically upon increasing torus pressure and remain closed during all containment high pressure conditions.

On December 8, 2018, while in Mode 4 (cold shutdown), the licensee identified a legacy design issue since initial power operation on January 23, 1988, in the control logic circuitry for the reactor building to suppression chamber vacuum breakers that prevented automatic closure of the butterfly isolation valves following power restoration from a LOP event. The reactor building to suppression chamber vacuum breaker check valves were not impacted by the design issue and therefore there was no loss of safety function. Procedural guidance was available to manually close the butterfly valves from the main control room following a LOP event.

On February 2, 2019, the licensee submitted LER 05000341/2018-007-00 (ADAMS Accession ML19036A741) to the NRC in accordance with 10 CFR 50.73(a)(2)(i)(B) as a condition which was prohibited by the plants Technical Specifications.

Technical Specification (TS) 3.6.1.7, Reactor Building-to-Suppression Chamber Vacuum Breakers, requires, in part, that each reactor building to suppression chamber vacuum breaker shall be operable in Mode 1, 2, and 3. As a consequence of this design control issue, the licensee declared that the reactor building to suppression chamber vacuum breaker butterfly valve in each line had been inoperable since initial power operation whenever the reactor was in Modes 1, 2, or 3. LCO 3.6.1.7 did not include any associated actions for the condition (failure to reclose following restoration of power), which placed the licensee in LCO 3.0.3, which required the licensee to place the reactor in Mode 2 within 7 hours8.101852e-5 days <br />0.00194 hours <br />1.157407e-5 weeks <br />2.6635e-6 months <br />, Mode 3 within 13 hours1.50463e-4 days <br />0.00361 hours <br />2.149471e-5 weeks <br />4.9465e-6 months <br />, and Mode 4 within 37 hours4.282407e-4 days <br />0.0103 hours <br />6.117725e-5 weeks <br />1.40785e-5 months <br />. Since the licensee was not previously aware of the condition of the valve, the actions required by LCO 3.0.3 were not taken.

Although the design issue was identified by the licensee during an engineering evaluation of an unrelated issue associated with LOP/LOCA conditions, the inspectors identified inadequacies in the licensees characterization and evaluation of the issue of concern. Specifically, the licensee failed to document in their evaluation of the design issue why it was not identified during or in the years following original plant construction nor during periodic functional testing of the reactor building to suppression chamber vacuum breakers. In addition, the past operability evaluation was generic in nature stating that TS LCO 3.6.1.7 was not met (i.e. inoperable), but did not recognize that LCO 3.0.3 applied, and also was not met. When questioned by the inspectors, the licensees proposed TS actions did not involve TS LCO 3.0.3, which would have been required while the plant operated in Mode 1, 2, or 3 with the butterfly valves in their normally closed position. Therefore, the finding was considered NRC-Identified.

The licensees corrective action program ownership screening committee and management review committee both determined a formal causal evaluation was not necessary. Therefore, a qualitative description of the event stated the cause was a legacy design issue with a supporting technical justification. The design issue was corrected through a physical plant modification that included a post-maintenance functional test (open and close valve strokes)and a one-time post-maintenance test that consisted, in part, of removing and re-installing control power fuses to verify the butterfly isolation valves functioned as designed. The licensee did not document an evaluation of the effectiveness of past and present functional testing procedures until questioned by the inspectors. The inspectors determined current, post-modification reactor building to suppression chamber vacuum breaker functional test procedures (to open and close the butterfly valves) were adequate to verify automatic closure of the butterfly valves following power restoration from a LOP event.

Corrective Actions: A physical modification was implemented to re-wire the manual override portion of the vacuum breaker butterfly isolation valve control circuits so that the butterfly isolation valves would automatically re-close following the restoration of electrical power following a LOP event.

Corrective Action References: CARD 18-29870

Performance Assessment:

Performance Deficiency: The failure to verify the adequacy of the design of the reactor building to suppression chamber vacuum breakers to ensure the associated butterfly isolation valves close automatically upon increasing torus pressure and remain closed during all containment high pressure conditions (specifically following a restoration of electrical power)was a performance deficiency.

Screening: The inspectors determined the performance deficiency was more than minor because it was associated with the Design Control attribute of the Barrier Integrity cornerstone. Specifically, the reactor building to suppression chamber vacuum breaker butterfly isolation valves would not automatically close following a LOP event in order to perform their containment isolation function during all containment high pressure conditions.

Significance: The inspectors assessed the significance of the finding using Appendix A, Significance Determination of Reactor Inspection Findings for At - Power Situations. The inspectors concluded the issue was of very low safety significance (i.e., Green) based on answering No to Exhibit 3 Barrier Integrity Screening Questions B.1 and B.2.

Cross-Cutting Aspect: Not Present Performance. No cross cutting aspect was assigned to this finding because the inspectors determined the finding did not reflect present licensee performance.

Enforcement:

Violation: Title 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion III, Design Control, requires, in part, that the licensee provide for verifying or checking the adequacy of design, such as by the performance of design reviews, by the use of alternate or simplified calculation methods, or by performance of a suitable testing program. Fermi UFSAR Table 6.2-2, Note 24 states, in part, that each reactor building to suppression chamber butterfly valve is normally closed and opens automatically to prevent formation of a negative pressure in the torus and that the butterfly valve closes automatically upon increasing torus pressure and remains closed during all containment high pressure conditions.

Technical Specification LCO 3.6.1.7 requires that each reactor building to suppression chamber vacuum breaker be operable in Mode 1, 2, and 3. Technical Specification LCO 3.0.3 requires, in part, that when an LCO is not met and an associated action is not provided, the unit shall be placed in a Mode or other specified condition in which the LCO is not applicable and that this action shall be initiated within 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br /> to place the unit, as applicable, in Mode 2 within 7 hours8.101852e-5 days <br />0.00194 hours <br />1.157407e-5 weeks <br />2.6635e-6 months <br />; Mode 3 within 13 hours1.50463e-4 days <br />0.00361 hours <br />2.149471e-5 weeks <br />4.9465e-6 months <br />; and Mode 4 within 37 hours4.282407e-4 days <br />0.0103 hours <br />6.117725e-5 weeks <br />1.40785e-5 months <br />.

Contrary to the above, from initial power operation on January 23, 1988, until December 19, 2018, the licensee failed to verify the adequacy of the design of the reactor building to suppression chamber vacuum breakers to ensure the associated butterfly isolation valves close automatically upon increasing torus pressure and remain closed during all containment high pressure conditions. Specifically, during various LOP and LOCA scenarios, the butterfly valve would not close automatically without manual operator action. Additionally, because the licensee was not aware of the reactor building to suppression chamber vacuum breaker inoperability since initial power operation, the licensee failed to take the actions required by TS LCO 3.0.3 whenever the reactor had been in Modes 1, 2, or 3.

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