SUBJECT:

DONALD C. COOK NUCLEAR POWER PLANT, UNITS 1 AND 2 NRC COMPONENT DESIGN BASES INSPECTION (CDBI)

REPORT 05000315/2007002(DRS); 05000316/2007002(DRS)

Dear Mr. Nazar:

On March 2, 2007, the U .S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed an inspection at your Donald C. Cook Nuclear Power Plant, Units 1 and 2. The enclosed report documents the inspection findings which were discussed on March 2, 2007, with Mr. Mark Peifer and other members of your staff.

The inspection examined activities conducted under your license as they relate to safety, and to compliance with the Commissions rules and regulations, and with the conditions of your license. The inspectors reviewed selected calculations, design bases documents, procedures, and records; observed activities; and interviewed personnel. Specifically, this inspection focused on the design of components that are risk significant and have low design margin.

Based on the results of this inspection, three NRC-identified findings of very low safety significance were identified, all of which involved violations of NRC requirements. However, because these violations were of very low safety significance and because they were entered into your corrective action program, the NRC is treating the issues as Non-Cited Violations (NCV) in accordance with Section VI.A.1 of the NRCs Enforcement Policy.

If you contest the subject or severity of a NCV, you should provide a response with a basis for your denial, within 30 days of the date of this inspection report, to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, ATTN: Document Control Desk, Washington, DC 20555-0001, with a copy to the Regional Administrator, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission - Region III, 2443 Warrenville Road, Suite 210, Lisle, IL 60532-4352; the Director, Office of Enforcement, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555-0001; and the NRC Resident Inspector at the Donald C. Cook facility.

In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 of the NRC's "Rules of Practice," a copy of this letter, its enclosure, and your response (if any), will be available electronically for public inspection in the NRC Public Document Room or from the Publicly Available Records System (PARS) component of NRC's document system (ADAMS), accessible from the NRC Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html (the Public Electronic Reading Room).

Sincerely,

/RA/

SUMMARY OF FINDINGS

IR 05000315/2007002(DRS); 05000316/2007002(DRS); 02/2/2007 - 03/02/2007;

Donald C. Cook Nuclear Power Station, Units 1 and 2; Component Design Bases Inspection.

The inspection was a 3-week onsite baseline inspection that focused on the design of components that are risk significant and have low design margin. The inspection was conducted by regional engineering inspectors and two consultants. Three findings of very low safety significance were identified with three associated Non-Cited Violations (NCVs). The significance of most findings is indicated by their color (Green, White, Yellow, Red) using Inspection Manual Chapter (IMC) 0609, Significance Determination Process (SDP). Findings for which the SDP does not apply may be Green, or be assigned a severity level after NRC management review. The NRC's program for overseeing the safe operation of commercial nuclear power reactors is described in NUREG-1649, Reactor Oversight Process, Revision 3; dated July 2000.

NRC-Identified

and Self-Revealed Findings

Cornerstone: Mitigating Systems

Green.

The inspectors identified a finding having very low safety significance and an associated NCV of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion XVI, Corrective Action for the licensees failure to promptly identify that the Unit 1 Train A (1-CD) emergency diesel generator (EDG) would exceed its capacity rating. Specifically, the 1-CD EDGs capacity rating would have been exceeded if the 1-CD EDG was allowed to run at the upper frequency band of 61.2 Hz as allowed by Technical Specifications. As a result, the licensee performed corrective action calculations to assess the finding and on March 1, 2007, imposed an operational upper frequency limit of #60.5Hz on the stations Unit 1 EDGs. This finding has a cross-cutting aspect in the area of problem identification and resolution associated with the corrective action program because the licensee did not take appropriate corrective action to address the safety issue in a timely manner commensurate with its safety significance and complexity.

This finding was more than minor because the 1-CD EDG would have exceeded its design load rating at the maximum TS allowed frequency of 61.2Hz. Without the evaluation and imposing an administrative limit, the licensee could not ensure that the 1-CD EDG would reliably perform its safety related function. The finding was of very low safety significance based on a Phase 1 screening in accordance with IMC 0609,

Appendix A, "Significance Determination of Reactor Inspection Findings for At-Power Situations. (Section 1R21.3b)

Cornerstone: Barrier Integrity

Green.

The inspectors identified a finding having very low safety significance and an associated NCV of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion XVI, Corrective Action for failure to promptly identify and correct a condition adverse to quality regarding inadequate safety analysis dose calculations. Specifically, the licensee failed to address the aggregate effect of various nonconforming conditions on containment leakage rates for offsite dose and control room calculations to ensure that accurate and adequate margin remained available for offsite dose analyses and control room habitability. The finding was entered into the licensees corrective action program and an operability determination evaluation (ODE) was initiated during the inspection. The primary cause of this violation was related to the cross-cutting area of problem identification and resolution because the licensee did not thoroughly evaluate known discrepant conditions.

This finding was more than minor because the licensee did not verify the capability of containment to maintain the offsite and control room dose within required limits under post-accident conditions to the values assumed in the analyses. The finding was of very low safety significance based on a Phase 1 screening in accordance with IMC 0609,

Appendix A, Significance Determination of Reactor Inspection Findings for At-Power Situations. (Section 1R21.4b.1)

Green.

The inspectors identified a finding having very low safety significance and an associated NCV of 10 CFR Part 50.36, Technical Specifications. Specifically, the licensee failed to maintain previously imposed administrative limits (i.e., compensatory measures) required by non-conforming updated final safety analysis report (UFSAR)offsite and control room dose analyses. The station operated from April 25, 2003, through February 28, 2007, based on analyses that included assumed containment leakage values that were not bounded by the licensees TS 5.5.14, Containment Leakage Rate Testing Program. Once the finding was identified by the inspectors, the licensee re-imposed the required compensatory measures during the inspection. The primary cause of this violation was related to the cross-cutting area of human performance because the licensee failed to communicate decisions with respect to containment leakage and the basis for those decisions to personnel.

The finding was more than minor in accordance with IMC 0612, Appendix B because the finding was associated with the configuration control (containment design parameters maintained) attribute of the Barrier Integrity Cornerstone and affected the cornerstones objective of maintaining the functionality of containment. Specifically, the licensee did not re-impose compensatory measures to limit the maximum allowable containment leakage rate to the values assumed in the analyses. The finding was of very low safety significance based on a Phase 1 screening in accordance with IMC 0609, Appendix A,

Significance Determination of Reactor Inspection Findings for At-Power Situations.

REACTOR SAFETY

Cornerstone: Initiating Events, Mitigating Systems, and Barrier Integrity

1R21 Component Design Bases Inspection

.1 Introduction

The objective of the component design bases inspection is to verify that design bases have been correctly implemented for the selected risk significant components and that operating procedures and operator actions are consistent with design and licensing bases. As plants age, their design bases may be difficult to determine and an important design feature may be altered or disabled during a modification. The Probabilistic Risk Assessment (PRA) model assumes the capability of safety systems and components to perform their intended safety function successfully. This inspectible area verifies aspects of the Initiating Events, Mitigating Systems, and Barrier Integrity cornerstones for which there are no indicators to measure performance.

Specific documents reviewed during the inspection are listed in the attachment to the report.

In addition, the inspectors reviewed several licensee audits and self-assessments to assess how effective licensee personnel were at self-identifying problems. The assessment was accomplished by comparing licensee-identified problems with problems that the inspectors identified during this inspection. The sample included a self-assessment in preparation for the inspection and selected assessments of the engineering design control program.

.2 Inspection Sample Selection Process

The inspectors selected risk significant components and operator actions for review using information contained in the licensees PRA and the Donald C. Cook Standardized Plant Analysis Risk Model, Revision 3P. In general, the selection was based upon the components and operator actions having a risk achievement worth of greater than 2.0. The operator actions selected for review included actions taken by operators both inside and outside of the control room during postulated accident scenarios.

The inspectors performed a margin assessment and detailed review of the selected risk-significant components to verify that the design bases have been correctly implemented and maintained. This design margin assessment considered original design reductions caused by design modification, or power uprates, or reductions due to degraded material condition. Equipment reliability issues were also considered in the selection of components for detailed review. These included items such as failed performance test results, significant corrective action, repeated maintenance activities, maintenance rule (a)(1) status, components requiring an operability evaluation, NRC resident inspector input of problem areas/equipment, and system health reports.

Consideration was also given to the uniqueness and complexity of the design, operating experience, and the available defense in depth margins. A summary of the reviews performed and the specific inspection findings identified are included in the following sections of the report.

.3 Component Design

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors reviewed the UFSAR, TS, design basis documents, drawings, calculations and other available design basis information, to determine the performance requirements of the selected components. The inspectors used applicable industry standards, such as the American Society of Mechanical Engineers Code, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Standards and the National Electric Manufacturers Association, to evaluate acceptability of the systems design. The review was to verify that the selected components would function as designed when required and support proper operation of the associated systems. The attributes that were needed for a component to perform its required function included process medium, energy sources, control systems, operator actions, and heat removal. The attributes to verify that the component condition and tested capability was consistent with the design bases and was appropriate may include installed configuration, system operation, detailed design, system testing, equipment and environmental qualification, equipment protection, component inputs and outputs, operating experience, and component degradation.

For each of the components selected, the inspectors reviewed the maintenance history, system health reports, operating experience-related information and licensee corrective action program documents (action requests--ARs). Field walkdowns were conducted for all accessible components to assess material condition and to verify that the as-built condition was consistent with the design. Other attributes reviewed are included as part of the scope for each individual component.

The following 18 Unit 1 and Unit 2 components were reviewed (18-inspection samples):

  • Unit 1 Switchgear 1-T11A and Tie Breaker 1-T11A9: The inspectors reviewed electrical diagrams, specifications for the original and recently installed 4160 Volt (4.16kV) switchgear 1-T11A vacuum breakers, system short circuit calculations, protective relay trip setpoints, circuit breaker coordination, recently completed surveillance and relay calibration test results to assess the adequacy of the switchgear and tie breaker 1-T11A9 to meet the connected bus loading and short circuit duty requirements. The inspectors reviewed the loss of voltage protection on safety bus 1-T11A and reviewed the offsite voltage profile and the protocols between the plant operators and offsite power system operations to ensure that the loss of voltage relays would not actuate spuriously during certain offsite electrical system disturbances. The inspectors also reviewed the degraded voltage relay settings to ensure that adequate voltage was maintained at the terminals of the safety loads. The inspectors interviewed plant engineers to discuss the electrical distribution system configuration under all modes of operating conditions. The inspectors reviewed tie breaker 1-T11A9 closing and opening control circuits to verify that breaker tripping and closing logic was consistent with design basis description. The inspectors also reviewed recently completed plant preventive maintenance, surveillance testing and relay calibration test procedures to verify that calibrations were within the calculated limits. The inspectors performed a visual inspection of the 1-T11A switchgear to verify that breaker position indication lights, control switches, relay trip setpoints and equipment alignment were consistent with electrical calculations and drawings.
  • Unit 1 Unit Auxiliary Transformer (UAT) TR1AB: The inspectors reviewed the UATs vendor specifications, nameplate data, system one-line diagrams, protective relay setting calculations, 4.16kV buses 1-1A and 1-1B feeder cable ampacity calculations and loading requirements to determine the adequacy of the transformer to supply the 4.16kV Train B power demand requirements. The inspectors also performed independent relay setpoint calculations to verify the adequacy of electrical protection and that trip setpoints would not spuriously interfere with the transformer performing its designed function during energization, through-faults, and at maximum loading conditions. The relay settings review included the transformer overall differentials and the ground overcurrent relays. The inspectors also reviewed the adequacy of the transformer neutral grounding resistor rating. The inspectors reviewed the results of several recently completed transformer preventive maintenance and relay setpoint calibration tests to verify that the test results were within the allowable limits. Finally, the inspectors performed a visual inspection of the observable portions of Unit 1 UAT and the neutral grounding resistor to assess the installation configuration, material condition, and potential vulnerability to external hazards.
  • Unit 1 Auxiliary 4.16kV Bus 1-1A and Supply Breaker 1-1A7: The inspectors assessed the components performance requirements through a selective review of one-line diagrams, load flow calculations, short circuit currents, protective relay trip setpoints, and system descriptions to evaluate the adequacy of the switchgears voltage, current and interrupting ratings as well the adequacy of electrical protection coordination with upstream and downstream breakers. The inspectors also performed independent short circuit and relay trip setpoint calculations to verify adequacy of the ratings for the switchgear and that of the recently installed vacuum circuit breaker when the power supply to bus 1-1A is switched from the UAT to the reserve auxiliary transformer (RAT).
  • Unit 1 Engineered Safety System (ESS) Train B: The inspectors reviewed calculations and drawings for supply breaker 1-T11A10 (4.16kV), transformer 1-TR11A (4.16kV/600V), supply breaker 1-11A11 (600V) and bus 1-11A (600V)to determine whether the loading of the components were within equipment ratings. The inspectors reviewed supply breaker 1-T11A10 control circuit voltage drop calculations to ensure adequate breaker control voltage was maintained.

The inspectors reviewed the appropriateness of design assumptions and calculations related to short circuit currents, voltage and protective relay settings associated with transformer 1-TR11A and bus 1-11A. On a sample basis, the inspectors reviewed completed maintenance and functional validation test results to verify that transformer 1-TR11A was capable of supplying adequate power to bus 1-11A during normal and accident conditions. Cable routing drawings were reviewed to determine whether adequate separation was maintained between trains.

  • Unit 1 Reactor Coolant Pump Supply Breaker 1-1B9: The inspectors assessed the component performance requirements through a review of electrical drawings and calculations describing the RCP motor power 4.16kV supply breaker, feeder and breaker control requirements during normal and degraded voltage operating conditions to evaluate the adequacy of the RCP 1-1B9 supply breaker, including the adequacy of the power feeder cable ampacity as-well-as that of the containment electrical penetrations. The protective relay setting calculations and coordination curves associated with the RCP motor circuit were also reviewed to determine the adequacy of relay trip settings. Specifically, the review included the relay setpoint calculations of the differential, phase and ground overcurrent relays. The containment electrical penetration ratings were reviewed to determine if they were adequate to withstand the available electrical and mechanical loadings during motor starting and in the event of electrical faults at the RCP motor terminals.
  • Unit 1 Train B (1-AB) Emergency Diesel Generator (EDG): The inspectors reviewed the EDG loading calculations including voltage, frequency, current and loading sequence during loss of offsite power and loss of coolant accident.

Short circuit calculations were reviewed to ensure that the ratings of the generator output breaker were adequate for the available short circuit duties.

Protective relay setpoint calculations were reviewed to assess adequacy of protection during test mode and during emergency operation. The generator grounding scheme was also reviewed to determine the adequacy of the grounding scheme and ground overcurrent relay coordination. The electrical drawings and calculations that describe the generator output breaker 1-T11A11 control logic and interlocks were reviewed to determine whether the breaker opening and closing control circuits were consistent with design basis documents. The inspectors also reviewed electrical calculations and drawings to evaluate the capability of the 600V motor circuit center 1-ABD-A to supply the control and power requirements to the EDGs fuel oil transfer pump motor. The inspectors reviewed the Diesel Room Heat Up calculations, assessing the validity of assumptions, design inputs, and results. The assessment included fan flow rate margin and fan blade adjustments to maximize heat removal. The inspectors also interviewed the EDG System Engineer regarding the 2003 replacement of the jacket and lube oil coolers. Calculations addressing fuel consumption and tank volumes were also reviewed to verify adequate onsite fuel inventory. The inspectors performed a review of system normal operating procedures and surveillance test procedures to assess whether component operation and alignments were consistent with design and licensing bases assumptions.

  • Unit 1 Heat Exchanger 1-HE-15W Component Cooling Water (CCW) Outlet Motor Operated Shutoff Valve 1-CMO-420: The inspectors reviewed the motor-operated valve (MOV) calculations including required thrust, weak link, and maximum differential pressure, to ensure the valve was capable of functioning under design conditions. Periodic Verification Diagnostic Test results were reviewed to verify acceptance criteria were met and performance degradation would be identified. Associated electrical calculations were reviewed to confirm that the design basis minimum voltage at the MOV motor terminals was consistent with the design inputs used in the MOV thrust calculations, and that the thermal overload heaters protecting the motors would not prematurely trip. The inspectors reviewed motor data, electrical control and schematic diagrams, degraded voltage calculations, thermal overload settings, voltage drop calculations, etc., to confirm that the motor operated shutoff valve 1-CMO-420 would have sufficient voltage and power available to perform its safety function at worst case degraded voltage and ambient conditions. The inspectors also reviewed operator actions requiring throttling of this valve to ensure that the thermal overload selected for this valve would not spuriously actuate due to frequent throttling.

b. Findings

The inspectors identified one finding of very low safety significance with one associated NCV.

Failure to Identify and Correct a Condition Adverse to Quality

Introduction:

The inspectors identified a NCV of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion XVI, Corrective Action having very low safety significance (Green) for failure to promptly identify and correct a condition adverse to quality regarding the Unit 1 Train A (1-CD) EDGs capacity rating until prompted by the NRC. Specifically, the 1-CD EDGs capacity rating could have been exceeded if the 1-CD EDG was allowed to run at the upper frequency band of 61.2 Hertz (Hz) as permitted by TS. As a result, the licensee performed corrective action calculations to assess the finding and on March 1, 2007, imposed an operational upper frequency limit of #60.5Hz on the stations Unit 1 EDGs. The primary cause of this violation was related to the cross-cutting area of problem identification and resolution.

Description:

The inspectors reviewed Calculation 1-E-N-ELCP-4KV-001, Unit 1, 4.16kV/600V Load Control Calculation, Revision 1, Change Sheet #6, dated January 22, 2002, and noted the 1-CD EDGs maximum loading was 3465 kW at a frequency of 60Hz for a LOOP/LOCA with Containment Spray Initiated scenario. With a design load rating of 3500 kW, this represented a very small margin (3500-3465/3500 or 1 percent) which should have prompted the licensee to evaluate the EDG assuming the maximum allowed frequency of 61.2 Hz. The inspectors determined that the 1-CD EDG would likely exceed its design load rating at the maximum upper frequency limit.

The inspectors discussed this concern with the licensee. The licensee indicated that the 1-CD EDG loading with respect to frequency was being evaluated as part of AR00124406, Effects of EDG Frequency at 61.2Hz on Safety Related Loads, dated March 30, 2006. The AR documented that while replacing the internal assembly of the Unit 2 east charging pump, the licensee identified that the pump would develop 726 break horse power (BHP) versus 690 BHP of the pump motor when power to the pump motor was supplied by the EDG at 61.2Hz. Based on this discovery, the licensee evaluated all safety related pumps in both units, including the Unit 1 charging pumps and determined that only the Unit 2 east charging pump would exceed its motor BHP rating when supplied by the EDGs at 61.2Hz. Subsequently, the licensee performed a quick frequency analysis for Unit 2 and determined that at 60.5Hz, the Unit 2 east charging pump would not exceed its motor BHP rating and administratively limited the Unit 2 EDG operation to #60.5Hz as allowed by NRC Administrative Letter 98-10, Dispositioning of Technical Specifications That Are Insufficient to Assure Plant Safety.

As part of the resolution of AR00124406, the licensee assigned a corrective action (CA

  1. 14) with a due date of February 2007, to review the Unit 1 and Unit 2 EDG load rating with respect to the upper frequency limit. The inspectors noted that the licensees corrective action consisted of a review and re-analysis of the calculation to gain additional margin and to determine the highest frequency at which the Unit 1 EDGs could run safely without exceeding their design load rating. The licensee did not use the best information available at the time (i.e., Change Sheet #6 which showed very little margin) and therefore, did not place an administrative limit of 60Hz on the Unit 1 EDGs.

Until questioned by the inspectors on February 14, 2007, the licensee had not completed this evaluation. On February 15, 2007, the licensee issued AR00809059, EDG Steady State Frequency Limits Contained in Technical Specifications, and stated that under worst case loading conditions at 61.2 Hz, the 1-CD EDG would produce 3600kW, exceeding the EDGs design load rating of 3500 kW by 100 kW. As a result, on March 1, 2007, the licensee imposed a Unit 1 operational upper frequency limit of

  1. 60.5Hz on the stations 1-AB and 1-CD EDGs. The inspectors concluded the licensee allowed the 1-CD EDG to remain in a condition for a period of 11-months (from March 30, 2006, to March 1, 2007), where the 1-CD EDG design load rating could have been exceeded at the maximum TS allowed frequency of 61.2 Hz.
Analysis:

The inspectors determined that the failure to promptly identify that the 1-CD EDG would exceed its capacity rating until prompted by the NRC constituted a performance deficiency and a finding. The 1-CD EDGs capacity rating would have been exceeded if the 1-CD EDG was allowed to run at the upper frequency band of 61.2 Hz as allowed by TS. Furthermore, the inspectors determined that it was reasonably within the licensees ability to have identified this issue on January 22, 2002 with the approval of Change Sheet #6 to Calculation 1-E-N-ELCP-4KV-001 and on March 30, 2006, when the Unit 2 east charging pump issue was identified.

The inspectors determined that the finding was more than minor in accordance with IMC 0612, Power Reactor Inspection Reports, Appendix B, Issue Screening because the finding was associated with the equipment performance (reliability) attribute of the Mitigating Systems Cornerstone and affected the cornerstones objective of ensuring the availability, reliability, and capability of the Unit 1 EDGs. Specifically, the 1-CD EDG would have exceeded its design load rating at the maximum TS allowed frequency of 61.2Hz. Without the evaluation and imposing an administrative limit of #60.5Hz, the licensee could not ensure that the 1-CD EDG would perform its safety related function.

The inspectors evaluated the finding using IMC 0609, Significance Determination Process, Appendix A, Phase 1 screening. The finding screened as Green because it was not a design issue, did not represent an actual loss of a system safety function, did not result in exceeding a TS allowed outage time, was not an actual loss of safety related equipment and did not affect external event mitigation.

This finding has a cross-cutting aspect in the area of problem identification and resolution associated with the corrective action program because the licensee did not take appropriate corrective action to address the safety issue in a timely manner commensurate with its safety significance and complexity. Specifically, the licensee failed to identify the 1-CD EDG would exceed its capacity rating because the licensees corrective action to re-perform calculations was not implemented in a timely manner and allowed the condition to exist for 11 months.

Enforcement:

Title 10 of the CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion XVI, Corrective Action, requires, in part, that measures shall be established to assure that conditions adverse to quality, such as failures, malfunctions, deficiencies, deviations, defective material and equipment, and non-conformances are promptly identified and corrected.

Contrary to the above, from January 22, 2002, to March 1, 2007, the licensee failed to promptly identify and correct a condition adverse to quality related to the 1-CD EDG capacity rating until prompted by the NRC. Specifically, the licensee failed to identify that the 1-CD EDGs capacity rating of 3500 kW would have been exceeded by 100 kW had the 1-CD EDG operated at the upper frequency band of 61.2 Hz as permitted by TS. Because the finding was determined to be of very low safety significance, and the licensee entered the finding into their corrective action program as AR00809805, Potential Criterion XVI Violation, this violation is being treated as a NCV, consistent with Section VI.A.1 of the NRC Enforcement Policy (NCV 05000315/2007002-01(DRS)).

.4 Operating Experience

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors reviewed five operating experiences (five samples) to ensure that NRC generic concerns had been adequately evaluated and addressed by the licensee. The operating experiences (OEs) listed below were reviewed as part of this inspection effort:

  • IN 91-56 Potential Radioactive Leakage to Tank Vented to Atmosphere;
  • IN 2006-22 New Ultra-Low-Sulfur Diesel Fuel Oil Could Adversely Impact Diesel Engine Performance; and
  • OpESS FY2007-01 Review of Operating Experience Smart Sample (OpESS)

FY2007-01, related to Information Notice 2006-20.

b. Findings

The inspectors identified two findings of very low safety significance with two associated NCVs.

1. Failure to Correct Inadequate Safety Analysis Dose Calculations

Introduction:

The inspectors identified a NCV of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion XVI, Corrective Action having very low safety significance (Green) for failure to promptly identify and correct a condition adverse to quality regarding inadequate safety analysis dose calculations. Specifically, the licensee failed to address the aggregate effect of various nonconforming conditions on containment leakage rates for offsite dose and control room calculations to ensure that accurate and adequate margin remained available for offsite dose analyses and control room habitability. The finding was entered into the licensees corrective action program and an operability determination evaluation (ODE) was initiated during the inspection. The primary cause of this violation was related to the cross-cutting area of problem identification and resolution.

Description:

The inspectors reviewed the licensees evaluation for NRC Information Notice (IN) 91-56, Potential Radioactive Leakage to Tank Vented to Atmosphere during this inspection. The IN addressed the potential radiological consequences of fluid leakage from the ECCS into the vented RWST under post-accident conditions and the leak testing of system isolation valves in that leakage path. As a result of this review, the inspectors questioned the impact of the potential leakage paths on both the offsite and control room dose analyses. Several condition reports and analyses addressed the impact of ECCS leakage and other concerns on the offsite and control room dose analyses for various postulated accidents, including the following:

  • On June 29, 1998, Condition Report 98-03076 was initiated to identify that although UFSAR Chapter 6 and Chapter 14 analyses were performed for up to 10-gpm ECCS leakage, these analyses were not introduced into the licensing basis with a supporting 10 CFR 50.59 evaluation. The corrective action associated with the UFSAR change was closed on April 2, 2004, without an appropriate resolution.
  • On February 19, 1999, Condition Report 99-03135 was initiated to identify that the 1997 update for the Unit 2 UFSAR did not include a dose contribution from ECCS leakage. The condition report documented a basis for operability that was based on calculation RD-94-01 for ECCS leakage and the Unit 2 UFSAR for other contributors to dose. On October 20, 1999, the corrective action associated with the ECCS leakage was closed based on the incorporation of 0.2-gpm ECCS leakage into control room and offsite dose calculations using the alternative source term methodology.
  • On November 11, 1999, Calculation CN-CRA-99-78, D. C. Cook (AEP/AMP)

TID-14844 Source Term LOCA Radiation Dose Analyses was approved. This calculation was an operability type evaluation that was intended to support restart and it included a 0.2-gpm ECCS leakage assumption. A new offsite dose accident analysis using the alternative source term methodology was intended to be submitted to the NRC for review and approval after restart. The offsite dose accident analysis using the alternative source term methodology was not submitted due to other technical issues.

  • On December 8, 2005, Condition Report 05342040 (AR00119229) was initiated to identify that several corrective actions associated with UFSAR offsite and control room dose accident analyses were inappropriately closed. The condition report documented a basis for operability that was based on Calculation RD-94-01 for ECCS leakage and the more conservative dose results in the Unit 1 UFSAR. There was no ODE implemented as a result of this condition report. This condition report was open at the time of the inspection.
  • On June 12, 2006, Condition Report 06163008 (AR 00127854) was initiated to identify that non-conservative values were used for containment free air volumes in previous calculations. This condition report documented a new basis for operability, based on calculation RD-94-01 for ECCS leakage and calculation CN-CRA-99-78, Revision 2. There was no ODE implemented as a result of this condition report. This condition report was open at the time of the inspection.

The inspectors noted that the licensee had not assessed the aggregate effect these conditions had on containment leakage rates for offsite dose and control room calculations. The inspectors were concerned that without this aggregate review, the licensee could not ensure that the remaining margin for the offsite dose and control room habitability analyses was adequate. In addition, the inspectors questioned the lack of established compensatory measures for TS to ensure that the maximum allowable containment leakage rate and maximum allowable ECCS leakage rates were maintained below the values assumed in the operability analyses as outlined in NRC Administrative Letter 98-10 (see Section 1R21.4b.2).

In response, the licensee initiated an Operability Determination Evaluation (ODE) for the Aggregate Effects of Non-Conservative Values Impacting Control Room Habitability and Offsite Dose Analyses (ODE for AR00809145) during this inspection. The ODE addressed the known non-conservative values used in the various dose analyses. In addition, as discussed in Section 1R21.4b.2 of this report, the licensee initiated compensatory measures on February 28, 2007, to ensure that the maximum allowable containment leakage rate and maximum allowable ECCS leakage rate were maintained below the values assumed in the operability analyses.

Analysis:

The inspectors determined that the licensees failure to perform an operability evaluation to determine the aggregate effect several discrepant conditions had on containment leakage rates for offsite dose and control room habitability calculations constituted a performance deficiency and a finding. Furthermore, the inspectors determined that it was reasonably within the licensees ability to have corrected this finding as indicated by several condition reports on the subject.

The inspectors determined the finding was more than minor in accordance with IMC 0612, Power Reactor Inspection Reports, Appendix B, Issue Screening because the finding was associated with the configuration control (containment design parameters maintained) attribute of the Barrier Integrity Cornerstone and affected the cornerstone objective of maintaining the functionality of containment. Specifically, the licensee did not verify the capability of containment to maintain the offsite and control room dose within required limits under post-accident conditions to the values assumed in the analyses.

The inspectors evaluated the finding using IMC 0609, Significance Determination Process, Appendix A, Phase 1 screening. The finding screened as Green because the inspectors answered no to the three questions in the Containment Barriers Cornerstone Column. Specifically, the finding did not represent an actual open pathway in the physical integrity of reactor containment.

This finding has a cross-cutting aspect in the area of problem identification and resolution associated with the corrective action program because the licensee did not thoroughly evaluate the condition such that, corrective actions addressed the causes and extent of conditions, and that effectiveness reviews of those corrective actions ensured that the problems were resolved in a timely manner. Specifically, the licensee failed to perform an operability evaluation to assess the aggregate effect several known discrepant conditions because the licensee failed to thoroughly evaluate several identified conditions, inappropriately closed corrective actions and did not recognize the potential impact on the calculated margins in offsite dose and control room habitability analyses.

Enforcement:

Title 10 of the CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion XVI, Corrective Action, requires, in part, that measures shall be established to assure that conditions adverse to quality, such as failures, malfunctions, deficiencies, deviations, defective material and equipment, and non-conformances are promptly identified and corrected.

Contrary to the above, from February 19, 1999, to February 28, 2007, the licensee failed to promptly identify and correct conditions adverse to quality regarding inadequate safety analysis dose calculations, which supported operability of containment.

Specifically, a.

On December 8, 2005, the licensee identified that previously on April 2, 2004, Condition Report 98-03076 was inappropriately closed without resolving the issue. The licensee failed to provide a basis (a 10 CFR 50.59 safety evaluation)for a UFSAR change which allowed up to 10-gpm of ECCS leakage either into the auxiliary building or back to the RWST under post-accident conditions. As of March 2, 2007, the licensee failed to take prompt corrective actions, in that, this evaluation (or an evaluation supporting a different leakage rate) had not been completed.

b.

On February 19, 1999, the licensee identified that the 1997 Unit 2 UFSAR update did not include a dose contribution from ECCS leakage. Subsequent condition reports identified other deficiencies in the analyses and operability type evaluations were performed to address individual issues. However, the licensee did not identify the aggregate effect various nonconforming conditions had on containment leakage rates for offsite dose and control room calculations. This evaluation was not completed and compensatory actions were not implemented until February 28, 2007.

Because the finding was determined to be of very low safety significance, and because the licensee subsequently entered the finding into their corrective action program as AR00809806, Potential Criterion XVI Violation, dated March 1, 2007, this violation is being treated as a NCV, consistent with Section VI.A of the NRC Enforcement Policy (NCV 05000315/2007002-02(DRS);05000316/2007002-02(DRS)).

2. Failure to Maintain Previously Imposed Compensatory Measures

Introduction:

The inspectors identified a NCV of 10 CFR Part 50.36, Technical Specifications having very low safety significance (Green) regarding the failure to maintain previously imposed compensatory measures for inadequate safety analysis dose calculations. Specifically, the licensee previously imposed administrative limits (i.e., compensatory measures) as a result of non-conforming UFSAR offsite and control room dose analyses. However, the licensee stopped those actions and operated between April 25, 2003, and February 28, 2007, with assumed containment leakage values that were not bounded by the licensees TS 5.5.14, Containment Leakage Rate Testing Program. Once identified by the inspectors, the licensee re-imposed the required compensatory measures.

Description:

As discussed in Section 1R21.4b.1 of this report, the licensee initiated numerous condition reports and analyses which addressed non-conforming UFSAR offsite and control room dose analyses for postulated accidents. As a result, the inspectors were concerned that adequate compensatory measures had not been established to address the impact of the non-conforming conditions on containment leakage. The inspectors identified the following:

  • On May 20, 2000, a Unit 2 administrative limit was imposed by the licensees Administrative Technical Requirements (ATR) Manual Number 2-CNTMT-1, Containment Systems - Containment Leakage, on Unit 2's Procedure 2-EHP-4030-001-001, Unit 2 Primary Containment Leak Rate Running Total.

The administrative limit was imposed based on Condition Report P-00-01069, Impact Assessment for Westinghouse Letter Report AEP-00-004 Identified Changes to Plant Procedures, dated January 20, 2000. The administrative limit imposed a maximum containment leakage rate which was half the TS allowed value.

  • On November 6, 2000, a Unit 1 administrative limit was imposed by the licensees ATR Manual Number 1-CNTMT-1, Containment Systems -

Containment Leakage, on Unit 1's Procedure 1-EHP-4030-001-002, Unit 1 Primary Containment Leak Rate Running Total. The administrative limit was imposed based on Condition Report P-00-01069, Impact Assessment for Westinghouse Letter Report AEP-00-004 Identified Changes to Plant Procedures, dated January 20, 2000. The administrative limit imposed a maximum containment leakage rate, which was half the TS allowed value.

  • On April 25, 2003, the Unit 2 administrative limit imposed by ATR Manual Number 2-CNTMT-1 was removed. The licensee stated that the administrative limit was removed based on the NRCs approval of Unit 2's TS Amendment 252 for alternate source term which eliminated the need for the administrative restriction.
  • On September 30, 2003, the Unit 1 administrative limit imposed by ATR Manual Number 1-CNTMT-1 was removed. The licensee stated that the administrative limit was removed based on the NRCs approval of Unit 1's TS Amendment 271 for alternate source term which eliminated the need for the administrative restriction.
  • On December 8, 2005, Condition Report 05342040 (AR00119229), was initiated to document that several corrective actions associated with the offsite and control room dose analysis were inappropriately closed and relied upon referenced calculations as a basis for operability. Among the assumptions made in the referenced calculations were maximum containment leakage rates which were half the TS 5.5.14 allowed leakage rate. This condition report was still open at the time of this inspection.
  • On June 12, 2006, Condition Report 06163008 (AR00127854) was initiated to identify that non-conservative values were used for containment free air volumes in previous calculations. To provide a reasonable assurance of operability associated with this condition report, credit was taken for containment leak rates which were half of the TS 5.5.14 value, as supported by actual leak test results.

Administrative limits were not imposed to ensure that the assumed leakage rates were not exceeded. This condition report was still open at the time of this inspection.

As a result of this information, the inspectors questioned the lack of compensatory measures established to ensure that containment leakage rates assumed in these operability analyses would not be exceeded. At the time of this inspection, neither TS 5.5.14 nor plant procedures included administrative leakage limits that bounded the analyses.

In response, the licensee initiated compensatory measures on February 28, 2007, to ensure that the maximum allowable containment leakage rate and maximum allowable ECCS leakage rate were maintained below the values assumed in the operability analyses.

Analysis:

The inspectors determined that the failure to maintain previously imposed compensatory measures to ensure that containment leakage rates assumed in various operability analyses would not be exceeded constituted a performance deficiency and a finding. Without the administrative limits (i.e., compensatory measures) maintained and/or imposed, the station could have operated up to the non-conservative and/or deficient TS values. The inspectors further determined that the finding was within the licensee's ability to foresee and correct, and that it could have been prevented had the licensee re-imposed the required compensatory measures in 2005.

The inspectors determined the finding was more than minor in accordance with IMC 0612, Power Reactor Inspection Reports, Appendix B, Issue Screening because the finding was associated with the configuration control (containment design parameters maintained) attribute of the Barrier Integrity Cornerstone and affected the cornerstones objective of maintaining the functionality of containment. Specifically, the licensee did not re-impose compensatory measures to limit the maximum allowable containment leakage rate to the values assumed in the analyses.

The inspectors evaluated the finding using IMC 0609, Significance Determination Process, Appendix A, Phase 1 screening. The finding screened as Green because the inspectors answered no to the three questions in the Containment Barriers Cornerstone Column. Specifically, the finding did not represent an actual open pathway in the physical integrity of reactor containment. This determination was based on an ODE performed by the licensee during the inspection, and on the licensees review of actual ECCS and containment leakage rate test data.

This finding has a cross-cutting aspect in the area of human performance associated with the decision-making component because the licensee failed to communicate decisions and the basis for those decisions to personnel who had the need to know the information in order to perform work safely. Specifically, the licensee failed to maintain previously imposed compensatory measures because the need to limit the maximum allowable containment leakage rate was not communicated to station personnel.

Enforcement:

Title 10 of the CFR Part 50.36, Technical Specifications, requires, in part, that each TS limiting condition for operation specify, at a minimum, the lowest functional capability or performance level of equipment required for the safe operation of the facility.

TS 5.5.14 c. states that the maximum allowable containment leakage rate, La, at the calculated peak containment internal pressure stated in TS 5.5.14.b, shall be 0.25 percent of containment air weight per day.

Contrary to the above, from April 25, 2003, to February 28, 2007, the licensee operated Unit 1 and Unit 2 without restriction to the maximum allowable containment leakage rate defined by TS 5.5.14.c. However, as a basis for containment operability, the licensee relied upon calculations which assumed half the TS 5.5.14 allowed leakage rate as documented in at least two condition reports (Condition Report 05342040 and 06163008). The licensee failed to recognize the TS were non-conservative and did not imposed administrative limits to ensure that the assumed leakage rates were not exceeded until February 28, 2007. Because the finding was determined to be of very low safety significance and because the licensee subsequently entered the finding into their corrective action program as AR00809878, Potential Violation of 10 CFR Part 50.36, dated March 1, 2007, this violation is being treated as a NCV, consistent with Section VI.A of the NRC Enforcement Policy (NCV 05000315/2007002-03(DRS);05000316/2007002-03(DRS)).

.5 Modifications

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors reviewed five permanent plant modifications related to selected risk significant components to verify that the design bases, licensing bases, and performance capability of the components had not been degraded through modifications. The modifications listed below were reviewed as part of this inspection effort:

  • 1-DCP-4894 Modify Standby Readiness Position of TDAFW Pump Discharge Valves (1-FMO 211, 221, 231 and 241);
  • 1-MOD-35003 4kV Motor Current Transformer (CT) Saturation Resolution;
  • 1-MOD-55348 1-T11A9, Install New 4kV Breaker;
  • 12-LDCP-5260 Essential Service Water Pump Upgrades for Reliability; and

b. Findings

No findings of significance were identified.

.6 Risk Significant Operator Actions

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors performed a margin assessment and detailed review of four risk significant, time critical operator actions (four samples). These actions were selected from the licensees PRA rankings of human action importance based on risk achievement worth values. Where possible, margins were determined by the review of the assumed design basis and UFSAR response times and performance times documented by job performance measures results. For the selected operator actions, the inspectors performed a detailed review and walk through of associated procedures, including observing the performance of some actions in the stations simulator and in the plant for other actions, with an appropriate plant operator to assess operator knowledge level, adequacy of procedures, and availability of special equipment where required.

The following operator actions were reviewed:

  • Actions, as directed by the stations emergency operating procedures, to transfer to cold leg recirculation when the RWST level reaches 30 percent;
  • Actions, as directed by the stations emergency and abnormal operating procedures, to cross-tie the chemical and volume control system (CVCS) to the unit affected units CVCS upon a loss of the CCW system;
  • Actions, as directed by the stations emergency and abnormal operating procedures, to restore reactor coolant system inventory following recovery from a loss of CCW; and
  • Actions, as directed by the stations emergency and abnormal operating procedures, to mitigate and recover from a station blackout.

b. Findings

No findings of significance were identified.
