REPORT DETAILS

Summary of Plant Status:

Unit 1 began the inspection period operating at 100 percent Rated Thermal Power (RTP). On

August 26, 2004, power was reduced to 40 percent to repair a leak in the 'B' low pressure

service water supply header and the 1A1 low pressure feedwater heater relief valve that lifted

spuriously and failed to reseat. The Unit was returned to 100 percent RTP on August 28, 2004,

and remained there for the remainder of the inspection period.

Unit 2 began the inspection period at 100 percent RTP. On September 7, 2004, power was

gradually reduced in accordance with Reactor Engineering instructions as part of the reactor

coolant average temperature coastdown associated with the Unit 2 end-of-cycle (EOC) 13

refueling outage. The Unit was removed from service on September 11, 2004, for refueling and

maintenance activities.

1. REACTOR SAFETY

Cornerstones: Initiating Events, Mitigating Systems, Barrier Integrity

1R01 Adverse Weather Protection

Adverse Weather Condition

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors performed two separate reviews of the effectiveness of the licensees

severe weather protection program pertaining to the actual and projected adverse

weather conditions associated with the following two adverse weather conditions:

These reviews included field walkdowns to identify items that could become potential

missiles and the status of drainage measures in outside locations, including the areas

surrounding the main transformers, the reactor, auxiliary and turbine buildings, cooling

towers, and main switchyard. The inspectors discussed with licensed operators, the

specific measures to be taken during the periods when high winds and flooding were

experienced and conducted a walkdown of control room and in-plant equipment related

to protection from these conditions. The inspectors met with Emergency Planning

personnel to discuss activities taken to ensure the site was prepared for the expected

wind and rain conditions and reviewed the completed attachments to the station

Response Procedure to Severe Weather. Documents reviewed/generated during this

inspection are listed in the Attachment to this report.

b. Findings

No findings of significance were identified.

1R02 Evaluations of Changes, Tests or Experiments

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors reviewed selected samples of evaluations to confirm that the licensee

had appropriately considered the conditions under which changes to the facility or

procedures may be made, and tests conducted, without prior NRC approval. The

inspectors reviewed evaluations for various design and procedure changes. The

inspectors reviewed additional information, such as calculations, supporting analyses

and drawings to determine if the licensee had appropriately concluded that the changes

could be accomplished without obtaining a license amendment. The eight evaluations

reviewed are listed in the Attachment to this report.

The inspectors also reviewed samples of design/engineering packages and procedure

changes for which the licensee had determined that evaluations were not required, to

verify that the licensees conclusions to screen out these changes were correct and

consistent with 10 CFR 50.59. The fourteen screened out changes reviewed are listed

in the Attachment to this report.

The inspectors reviewed the licensees corrective action program and self-assessments

of the 50.59 process to confirm that the licensee was identifying 10 CFR 50.59 issues,

entering issues into the corrective action program, and resolving concerns.

b. Findings

No findings of significance were identified.

1R04 Equipment Alignment

.1 Partial System Walkdowns

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors verified the critical portions of equipment alignments for selected trains

that remained operable while the redundant trains were inoperable. The inspectors

reviewed plant documents to determine the correct system and power alignments, and

the required positions of select valves and breakers. The inspectors verified that the

licensee had properly identified and resolved equipment alignment problems that could

cause initiating events or impact mitigating system availability. The inspectors verified

the following five partial system alignments and reviewed the associated listed

documents:

.2 Complete System Walkdown

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors conducted one detailed walkdown/review of the alignment and condition

of the Unit 2 residual heat removal (ND) system. The inspectors utilized licensee

procedures, as well as licensing and design documents to verify that the system

(i.e., pump, valve, and electrical) alignment was correct. During the walkdowns, the

inspectors also verified that: valves and pumps did not exhibit leakage that would impact

their function; major portions of the system and components were correctly labeled;

hangers and supports were correctly installed and functional; and essential support

systems were operational. In addition, pending design and equipment issues were

reviewed to determine if the identified deficiencies significantly impacted the systems

functions. Items included in this review were the operator workaround list, the

temporary modification list, system Health Reports, and outstanding maintenance work

requests/WOs. A review of open Problem Identification Process reports (PIPs) was also

performed to verify that the licensee had appropriately characterized and prioritized ND

related equipment problems for resolution in the corrective action program. Documents

reviewed/generated during this inspection are listed in the Attachment to this report.

b. Findings

No findings of significance were identified.

1R05 Fire Protection

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors walked down accessible portions of the plant to assess the licensees

control of transient combustible material and ignition sources, fire detection and

suppression capabilities, fire barriers, and any related compensatory measures. The

inspectors observed the fire protection suppression and detection equipment to

determine whether any conditions or deficiencies existed which could impair the

4

operability of that equipment. The inspectors selected the areas based on a review of

the licensees safe shutdown analysis probabilistic risk assessment, based on sensitivity

studies for fire related core damage accident sequences, and summary statements

related to the licensees 1992 Initial Plant Examination for External Events submittal to

the NRC. Documents reviewed/generated during this inspection are listed in the

Attachment to this report. The inspectors toured the following eight areas important to

reactor safety:

  • Unit 2, switchgear room, auxiliary building, 594 foot elevation

performance of licensed operators. The session utilized Task Requirement Guide OP-

CN-PTRQ-S-04, which included three scenarios involving a loss of residual heat

removal capabilities with the unit shutdown under various configurations and decay heat

loads. The inspection focused on high-risk operator actions performed during

implementation of the abnormal operating procedures, emergency plan implementation

5

and classification, and the incorporation of lessons learned from previous plant events

and simulator sessions. Through observations of the critique conducted by training

instructors following the exam session, the inspectors assessed whether appropriate

feedback was provided to the licensed operators regarding identified weaknesses.

b. Findings

No findings of significance were identified.

.2 Program Review

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors reviewed the facility operating history and associated documents in

preparation for this inspection. During the week of August 30 - September 3, 2004, the

inspectors reviewed documentation, interviewed licensee personnel, and observed the

administration of operating tests associated with the licensees operator requalification

program. Each of the activities performed by the inspectors was done to assess the

effectiveness of the licensee in implementing requalification requirements identified in

10 CFR Part 55, Operators Licenses. The evaluations were also performed to

determine if the licensee effectively implemented operator requalification guidelines

established in NUREG 1021, Operator Licensing Examination Standards for Power

Reactors, and Inspection Procedure 71111.11, Licensed Operator Requalification

Program. The inspectors also evaluated the licensees simulation facility for adequacy

for use in operator licensing examinations using ANSI/ANS-3.5-1998. The inspectors

observed four crews during the performance of the operating tests. Documentation

reviewed included written examinations, Job Performance Measures (JPMs), simulator

scenarios, licensee procedures, on-shift records, licensed operator qualification records,

watchstanding and medical records, simulator modification request records and

performance test records, the feedback process, and remediation plans. The records

were inspected using the criteria listed in Procedure 71111.11. Documents reviewed

during the inspection are listed in the Attachment to this report.

Following the completion of the annual operating tests, which ended on September 3,

2004, the inspectors reviewed the overall pass/fail results of the biennial written

examination, the individual JPM operating tests, and the simulator operating tests

administered by the licensee during the operator licensing requalification cycle. These

results were compared to the thresholds established in Manual Chapter 609, Appendix I,

Operator Requalification Human Performance Significance Determination Process.

b. Findings

No findings of significance were identified.

1R12 Maintenance Effectiveness

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors reviewed the licensees effectiveness in performing routine maintenance

activities. This review included an assessment of the licensees practices pertaining to

6

the identification, scope, and handling of degraded equipment conditions, as well as

common cause failure evaluations and the resolution of historical equipment problems.

For those systems, structures, and components scoped in the maintenance rule per 10

CFR 50.65, the inspectors verified that reliability and unavailability were properly

monitored, and that 10 CFR 50.65 (a)(1) and (a)(2) classifications were justified in light

of the reviewed degraded equipment condition. The inspectors conducted this

inspection for the degraded equipment conditions associated with the two items listed

below. Documents reviewed are listed in the Attachment to this report.

C Monitoring of boron deposition in the Unit 2 lower containment ventilation unit

enclosures. It was subsequently determined that boron deposits in the

1R20 Refueling and Outage Activities

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors evaluated Unit 2 outage activities to ensure that the licensee: considered

risk in developing outage schedules; adhered to administrative risk reduction

methodologies developed to control plant configuration; developed mitigation strategies

for losses of key safety functions; and adhered to operating license and TS

requirements that ensure defense-in-depth. The following specific areas were reviewed:

  • Review of Outage Plan - Prior to the outage, the inspectors reviewed the

licensees outage risk control plan, attended risk briefings, and verified that the

licensee appropriately considered risk, industry experience, and previous site

specific problems. The inspectors reviewed the licensees contingency actions

for losses of key safety functions, and verified that the licensee maintained key

safety function status and controls throughout the portion of the outage in this

inspection period. The inspectors reviewed the Unit 2 outage risk assessment

4. OTHER ACTIVITIES

4OA1 Performance Indicator Verification

.1 Mitigating Systems Cornerstone

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors sampled licensee submittals for the performance indicators (PIs) listed

below for the period from June 2003 through May 2004. To verify the accuracy of the PI

data reported during that period, PI definitions and guidance contained in Nuclear

Energy Institute (NEI) 99-02, Regulatory Assessment Performance Indicator Guideline,

Rev. 2, were used to verify the basis in reporting for each data element.

The inspectors reviewed a selection of Licensee Event Reports, portions of Unit 1 and

Unit 2 operator log entries, PIP descriptions, monthly operating reports, and PI data

sheets to verify that the licensee had adequately identified the number of unavailability

hours and safety system functional failures. These numbers were compared to the

numbers reported for the PIs.

b. Findings

No findings of significance were identified.

15

.2 Barrier Integrity Cornerstone

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors sampled licensee submittals for the PI listed below for the period from

June 2003 through May 2004. To verify the accuracy of the PI data reported during that

period, PI definitions and guidance contained in NEI 99-02, Regulatory Assessment

Performance Indicator Guideline, Rev. 2, were used to verify the basis in reporting for

each data element.

The inspectors reviewed a selection of Unit 1 and Unit 2 operator log entries compiled

from the reactor coolant leakage calculation performed on a daily basis. The inspectors

verified that the reported reactor coolant leakage performance indicator data was

conservative and accurate.

b. Findings

No findings of significance were identified.

4OA2 Problem Identification and Resolution

.1 Daily Screening of Items Entered Into the Corrective Action Program

As required by Inspection Procedure 71152, Identification and Resolution of Problems,

and in order to help identify repetitive equipment failures or specific human performance

issues for follow-up, the inspectors performed a daily screening of items entered into the

licensees corrective action program. This review was accomplished by reviewing

copies of PIPs, attending some daily screening meetings, and accessing the licensees

computerized database.

.2 Annual Sample Review

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors selected two PIP documents for detailed review. PIP C-03-6458

identified an adverse trend associated with foreign material exclusion. The second PIP,

C-03-6007, involved a seal failure on the 1A ND pump. Both documents involved root

cause investigations that were reviewed to ensure that the full extent of the issues were

identified, an appropriate evaluation was performed, and appropriate corrective actions

were specified and prioritized. The inspectors evaluated the PIP documents against the

requirements of the licensees corrective action program, Nuclear System Directive 208,

Problem Investigation Process, and 10 CFR 50 Appendix B.

b. Findings

No findings of significance were identified.

4OA5 Other Activities

(Closed) Temporary Instruction (TI) 2515/152, Inspection of Reactor Pressure Vessel

Lower Head Penetration Nozzles

The inspectors verified that qualified and knowledgeable licensee individuals performed

the inspection of the Unit 2 lower vessel head penetration nozzles. These individuals

were qualified VT-2 Level II examiners. The inspectors verified that the inspection was

performed in accordance with the licensees approved procedure. This procedure was

written to be able to identify, disposition, and resolve deficiencies and any pressure

boundary leakage. The inspection of the vessel penetrations was performed by 360

degree visual inspection with the appropriate lighting and mirrors. The inspection did

not identify any deficiencies or pressure boundary leakage. There were slight boric

acid deposits at the interface of the vessel and nozzle penetrations at six (6)

penetrations. In addition, there was some surface streaming boric acid residue on the

reactor vessel outer surface. Samples were taken from all six penetrations with

surrounding boric acid deposits, as well as some of the surface residue, and analyzed

by the licensee to confirm the origination of the boric acid. The licensee analysis

followed the Electric Power Research Institute boric acid aging recommendations and

compared the ratio of cobalt 58 and cobalt 60. The analysis indicated that the boric acid

deposits and residue were the result of previous reactor cavity seal leakage. The

inspectors independent review of the lower vessel head penetrations and licensee

documentation of surface samples found no evidence of material deficiencies. The

inspectors verified through a review of the 2EOC-13 refueling outage schedule that

washing of the bottom head area and documentation of the as-left condition will be

completed prior to the Unit 2 restart. Bare metal examinations have been performed

for both Unit 1 and Unit 2 lower vessels and penetration nozzles and the inspections

associated with this TI have been completed. Documents reviewed during this

inspection are listed in the Attachment to this report.
