SUMMARY OF FINDINGS
IR 05000266/2012003, 05000301/2012003; 04/01/2012 - 06/30/2012; Point Beach Nuclear
Plant, Units 1 and 2; Post-Maintenance Testing; In-Plant Airborne Radioactivity Control and
Mitigation; and Follow-Up of Events and Notices of Enforcement Discretion.
This report covers a 3-month period of inspection by resident inspectors and announced
baseline inspections by regional inspectors. Two Green NRC-identified findings and one Green
self-revealing finding were identified during this inspection. The findings were considered
non-cited violations (NCVs) of NRC regulations. 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 NRCs program
for overseeing the safe operation of commercial nuclear power reactors is described in
NUREG-1649, Reactor Oversight Process, Revision 4, dated December 2006.
A. NRC-Identified and Self-Revealed Findings
Cornerstone: Initiating Events
- Green. A finding of very low safety significance and associated non-cited violation of
10 CFR 50.65(a)(3) was self-revealed when an unplanned reactor trip of Unit 2 occurred
on June 13, 2011, as a result of the failure of a source range detector during low power
physics testing. Specifically, the licensee failed to adequately evaluate operating
experience and incorporate it into its preventive maintenance program to periodically
replace aging electrical subcomponents in nuclear instrumentation systems and a
subsequent age-related failure resulted in initiating a plant transient. The licensee
entered this issue into the corrective action program, and corrective actions to prevent
recurrence were initiated.
The finding was determined to be more than minor in accordance with Inspection
Manual Chapter 0612, Power Reactor Inspection Reports, Appendix B, Issue
Screening, dated December 24, 2009, because the finding was associated with the
Initiating Events Cornerstone attribute of equipment performance. Specifically, the
availability and reliability of the nuclear instruments was degraded to a point where an
instrument failure caused a reactor trip, an event that adversely impacted the
cornerstone objective to limit the likelihood of those events that upset plant stability and
challenge critical safety functions during power operations. The finding has a
cross-cutting aspect in the area of corrective action program, evaluation/extent of
condition. Specifically, the licensee failed to thoroughly evaluate related nuclear
instrument failure rates so that the resolutions addressed the causes and extent of
conditions for age-related failures of electrical subcomponents (P.1(c)).
(Section 4OA3.4)
Cornerstone: Mitigating Systems
- Green. The inspectors identified a finding of very low safety significance and associated
non-cited violation of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion XI, "Test Control," because
the licensee failed to establish routine testing procedure that demonstrated room
temperatures would be maintained. Specifically, on March 29, 2012, the inspectors
identified that the licensee failed to establish routine testing procedure that demonstrated
1 Enclosure
the air flows for emergency diesel generators G-01 and G-02 ventilation systems would
perform adequately to ensure that the room temperatures would be maintained. The
licensee entered this issue into its corrective action program, and corrective actions
included performance of air flow measurements on the fan units, creation of a preventive
maintenance requirement for taking periodic flow measurements, and assessment of the
identified issue through a condition evaluation.
The finding was determined to be more than minor in accordance with Inspection
Manual Chapter 0612, Appendix B, Issue Screening, dated December 24, 2009. The
inspectors determined that this finding was more than minor because it was associated
with the Mitigating Systems Cornerstone attribute for design control. Specifically, it
adversely affected the Mitigating System Cornerstone objective to ensure the reliability
of systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences. This
finding has a cross-cutting aspect in the area of human performance, decision-making.
Specifically, the licensee did not use conservative assumptions regarding the verification
of the proper air flow through the safety-related gravity dampers in the emergency diesel
generators G-01 and G-02 rooms (H.1(b)). (Section 1R19)
Cornerstone: Occupational Radiation Safety
- Green. The inspectors identified a finding of very low safety significance and associated
non-cited violation of 10 CFR 20.1701. Specifically, the inspectors identified
deficiencies, as of January 19, 2012, in the licensees testing program for assuring that
the technical support center (TSC) ventilation system was in compliance with the
systems design basis. The licensees TSC high efficiency particulate air and charcoal
filter efficiencies were not tested to the design criteria. The licensee documented this
issue in its corrective action program and the corrective actions included revising
applicable procedures. In addition, the licensee performed a calculation to show
that the TSC ventilation system was capable of maintaining a radiological habitability of
less than 5 Rem total effective dose equivalent for the duration of the design base
accidents. The calculation was based on actual historical filter testing efficiencies.
The finding was more than minor because it was associated with the program and
process attribute of exposure control of the Occupational Radiation Safety Cornerstone
and adversely affected the cornerstone objective of ensuring the adequate protection of
worker health and safety from exposure radiation and radioactive material. Specifically,
inappropriately testing installed emergency ventilation system filters designed to
mitigate workers radiation exposures did not validate that the TSC ventilation system
was capable of performing its intended design function of minimizing worker exposures
to airborne radioactive materials. The finding was assessed using the occupational
radiation safety significance determination process and was determined to be of very
low safety significance (Green) because it was not an as-low-as-is-reasonable-
achievable planning issue, there was no overexposure or potential for overexposure,
and the licensees ability to assess dose was not compromised. The inspectors
determined that the most significant contributor to the finding was a cross-cutting aspect
in the area of human performance, resources. Specifically, the licensee failed to ensure
that the TSC ventilation filter testing protocol assured compliance to the systems
designed margins (H.2(a)). (Section 2RS3)

1R01 Adverse Weather Protection (71111.01)
.1 Summer Seasonal Readiness Preparations
a. Inspection Scope
The inspectors performed a review of the licensees preparations for summer weather
for selected systems, including conditions that could lead to an extended drought. The
inspectors reviews focused specifically on the following plant systems:
- service water (SW);
- component cooling water (CCW); and
- primary auxiliary building (PAB) ventilation.
During the inspection, the inspectors focused on plant specific design features and the
licensees procedures used to mitigate or respond to adverse weather conditions.
Additionally, the inspectors reviewed the Final Safety Analysis Report (FSAR) and
performance requirements for systems selected for inspection, and verified that operator
actions were appropriate as specified by plant specific procedures. The inspectors also
reviewed corrective action program (CAP) items to verify that the licensee was
identifying adverse weather issues at an appropriate threshold and entering them into
the CAP in accordance with station corrective action procedures. Documents reviewed
are listed in the Attachment to this report.
This inspection constituted one seasonal adverse weather sample as defined in
Inspection Procedure (IP) 71111.01-05.

.2 Readiness for Impending Adverse Weather Condition - Solar Magnetic Disturbances
a. Inspection Scope
Since solar magnetic disturbances were forecast in the vicinity of the facility for
April 23, 2012, the inspectors reviewed the licensees overall preparations/protection for
the expected weather conditions. On April 23, 2012, the inspectors walked down the
offsite power system, in addition to the licensees emergency alternating current (AC)
power systems, because their safety-related (SR) functions could be affected or required
as a result of solar magnetic flares. The inspectors evaluated the licensees
preparations against the sites procedures and determined that the staffs actions were
adequate. During the inspection, the inspectors focused on plant-specific design
features and the licensees procedures used to respond to specified adverse weather
conditions. Additionally, inspection activities included a review of the FSAR, the
licensees adverse weather procedures, daily monitoring of the off-normal environmental
conditions, and that operator actions specified by plant-specific procedures were
appropriate to ensure operability of the facilitys systems. The inspectors also reviewed
a sample of CAP items to verify that the licensee identified adverse weather issues at an
appropriate threshold and dispositioned them through the CAP in accordance with
station corrective action procedures. Documents reviewed are listed in the Attachment
to this report.
This inspection constituted one readiness for impending adverse weather condition
sample as defined in IP 71111.01-05.
b. Findings
No findings were identified.
.3 Readiness for Impending Adverse Weather Condition - Severe Thunderstorm Watch
a. Inspection Scope
Since thunderstorms with potential tornados and high winds were forecast in the vicinity
of the facility for June 17, 2012, the inspectors reviewed the licensees overall
preparations/protection for the expected weather conditions. The inspectors reviewed
the actions taken by the licensee in response to the adverse weather condition while the
associated meteorological tower was out of service. The inspectors reviewed the
potential impact of the adverse weather conditions on SR equipment, in addition to the
licensees emergency AC power systems. The inspectors evaluated the licensees
preparations against the sites procedures and determined that the licensees actions
were adequate. During the inspection, the inspectors focused on plant-specific design
features and the licensees procedures used to respond to specified adverse weather
conditions. The inspectors evaluated operator staffing and accessibility of controls and
indications for those systems required to control the plant. Additionally, the inspectors
reviewed the FSAR and performance requirements for systems selected for inspection,
and verified that operator actions were appropriate as specified by plant specific
procedures. The inspectors also reviewed a sample of CAP items to verify that the
licensee identified adverse weather issues at an appropriate threshold and dispositioned
them through the CAP in accordance with station corrective action procedures.
Documents reviewed are listed in the Attachment to this report.

1R04 Equipment Alignment (71111.04)
.1 Quarterly Partial System Walkdowns
a. Inspection Scope
The inspectors performed partial system walkdowns of the following risk-significant
system:
- Unit 2 safety injection (SI) system B, during surveillance testing on the opposite
train; and
- Unit 1 turbine-driven auxiliary feedwater (TDAFW) pump after returned to service
following maintenance.
The inspectors selected this system based on its risk significance relative to the Reactor
Safety Cornerstones at the time it was inspected. The inspectors attempted to identify
any discrepancies that could impact the function of the system and, therefore, potentially
increase risk. The inspectors reviewed applicable operating procedures, system
diagrams, FSAR, Technical Specification (TS) requirements, outstanding work orders
(WOs), condition reports (CRs), and the impact of ongoing work activities on redundant
trains of equipment in order to identify conditions that could have rendered the systems
incapable of performing their intended functions. The inspectors also walked down
accessible portions of the system to verify system components and support equipment
were aligned correctly and operable. The inspectors examined the material condition of
the components and observed operating parameters of equipment to verify that there
were no obvious deficiencies. The inspectors also verified that the licensee had properly
identified and resolved equipment alignment problems that could cause initiating events
or impact the capability of mitigating systems or barriers and entered them into the CAP
with the appropriate significance characterization. Documents reviewed are listed in the
Attachment to this report.
These activities constituted two partial system walkdown samples as defined in
IP 71111.04-05.
b. Findings
No findings were identified.

1R05 Fire Protection (71111.05)
.1 Routine Resident Inspector Tours (71111.05Q)
a. Inspection Scope
The inspectors conducted fire protection (FP) walkdowns which were focused on
availability, accessibility, and the condition of firefighting equipment in the following
risk-significant plant areas:
- fire zone 187 (monitor tank room);
- fire zone 596 (Unit 2 façade);
- fire zone 151 (SI pump room); and
- fire zone 318 (cable spreading room).
The inspectors reviewed areas to assess if the licensee had implemented an FP
program that adequately controlled combustibles and ignition sources within the plant,
effectively maintained fire detection and suppression capability, maintained passive FP
features in good material condition, and implemented adequate compensatory measures
for out-of-service, degraded or inoperable FP equipment, systems, or features in
accordance with the licensees fire plan. The inspectors selected fire areas based on
their overall contribution to internal fire risk as documented in the plants Individual Plant
Examination of External Events with later additional insights, their potential to impact
equipment which could initiate or mitigate a plant transient, or their impact on the plants
ability to respond to a security event. Using the documents listed in the Attachment to
this report, the inspectors verified that fire hoses and extinguishers were in their
designated locations and available for immediate use; that fire detectors and sprinklers
were unobstructed; that transient material loading was within the analyzed limits; and fire
doors, dampers, and penetration seals appeared to be in satisfactory condition. The
inspectors also verified that minor issues identified during the inspection were entered
into the CAP. Documents reviewed are listed in the Attachment to this report.
These activities constituted four quarterly fire protection inspection samples as defined in
IP 71111.05-05.
b. Findings
No findings were identified.
1R06 Flooding (71111.06)
a. Inspection Scope
The inspectors reviewed selected risk important plant design features and licensee
procedures intended to protect the plant and its SR equipment from internal flooding
events. The inspectors reviewed flood analyses and design documents, including the
FSAR, engineering calculations, and abnormal operating procedures (AOPs) to identify
licensee commitments. In addition, the inspectors reviewed licensee drawings to identify
areas and equipment that may be affected by internal flooding caused by the failure or
7 Enclosure
misalignment of nearby sources of water, such as the fire suppression or the circulating
water systems. The inspectors also reviewed the licensees corrective action documents
with respect to past flood-related items identified in the CAP to verify the adequacy of
the corrective actions. The inspectors performed a walkdown of the following plant area
to assess the adequacy of watertight doors and verify drains and sumps were clear of
debris and were operable, and that the licensee complied with its commitments.
Documents reviewed are listed in the Attachment to this report.
- residual heat removal (RHR) rooms.
This inspection constituted one internal flooding sample as defined in IP 71111.06-05.
b. Findings

1R11 Licensed Operator Requalification Program (71111.11)
.1 Resident Inspector Quarterly Review (71111.11Q)
a. Inspection Scope
On May 21, 2012, the inspectors observed a crew of licensed operators in the plants
simulator during licensed operator requalification examinations to verify that operator
performance was adequate, evaluators were identifying and documenting crew
performance problems, and that training was being conducted in accordance with
licensee procedures. The inspectors evaluated the following areas:
- licensed operator performance;
- crews clarity and formality of communications;
- ability to take timely actions in the conservative direction;
- prioritization, interpretation, and verification of annunciator alarms;
- correct use and implementation of abnormal and emergency procedures;
- control board manipulations;
- oversight and direction from supervisors; and
- ability to identify and implement appropriate TS actions and Emergency Plan
actions and notifications.
The crews performance in these areas was compared to pre-established operator action
expectations and successful critical task completion requirements. Documents reviewed
are listed in the Attachment to this report.
This inspection constituted one quarterly licensed operator requalification program
simulator sample as defined in IP 71111.11.
b. Findings
No findings were identified.
8 Enclosure
.2 Resident Inspector Quarterly Observation of Heightened Activity or Risk (71111.11Q)
a. Inspection Scope
On April 20 and 21, 2012, the inspectors observed activities in the control room during
the high risk activity of a Unit 2 downpower to 15 percent to secure one train of main
feedwater (FW). This was an activity that required heightened awareness or was related
to increased risk. The inspectors evaluated the following areas:
- licensed operator performance;
- crews clarity and formality of communications;
- ability to take timely actions in the conservative direction;
- prioritization, interpretation, and verification of annunciator alarms;
- correct use and implementation of procedures;
- control board manipulations; and
- oversight and direction from supervisors.
The performance in these areas was compared to pre-established operator action
expectations, procedural compliance, and task completion requirements. Documents
reviewed are listed in the Attachment to this report.
This inspection constituted one quarterly licensed operator heightened activity/risk
sample as defined in IP 71111.11.
b. Findings

1R12 Maintenance Effectiveness (71111.12)
.1 Routine Quarterly Evaluations (71111.12Q)
a. Inspection Scope
The inspectors evaluated degraded performance issues involving the following
risk-significant system:
- TDAFW system.
The inspectors reviewed events, such as where ineffective equipment maintenance had
resulted in valid or invalid automatic actuations of engineered safeguards systems, and
independently verified the licensee's actions to address system performance or condition
problems in terms of the following:
- implementing appropriate work practices;
- identifying and addressing common cause failures;
- scoping of systems in accordance with 10 CFR 50.65(b) of the maintenance rule;
- characterizing system reliability issues for performance;
- charging unavailability for performance;
- trending key parameters for condition monitoring;
- ensuring 10 CFR 50.65(a)(1) or (a)(2) classification or re-classification; and
9 Enclosure
- verifying appropriate performance criteria for structures, systems, and
components (SSCs)/functions classified as (a)(2), or appropriate and adequate
goals and corrective actions for systems classified as (a)(1).
The inspectors assessed performance issues with respect to the reliability, availability,
and condition monitoring of the system. In addition, the inspectors verified maintenance
effectiveness issues were entered into the CAP with the appropriate significance
characterization. Documents reviewed are listed in the Attachment to this report.
This inspection constituted one quarterly maintenance effectiveness samples as defined
in IP 71111.12-05.
b. Findings
No findings were identified.
1R13 Maintenance Risk Assessments and Emergent Work Control (71111.13)
.1 Maintenance Risk Assessments and Emergent Work Control
a. Inspection Scope
The inspectors reviewed the licensee's evaluation and management of plant risk for the
maintenance and emergent work activities affecting risk-significant and SR equipment
listed below to verify that the appropriate risk assessments were performed prior to
removing equipment for work:
- risk management of 345-kilovolt (kV) output breaker hotspot with increasing
outside air temperatures;
- risk management with CCW heat exchanger C inoperable but available;
- risk management with emergency diesel generators (EDGs) G-01 and G-02
inoperable week of April 26; and
- risk management with Unit 1 TDAFW pump and gas turbine generator
out-of-service.
These activities were selected based on their potential risk significance relative to the
Reactor Safety Cornerstones. As applicable for each activity, the inspectors verified that
risk assessments were performed as required by 10 CFR 50.65(a)(4) and were accurate
and complete. When emergent work was performed, the inspectors verified that the
plant risk was promptly reassessed and managed. The inspectors reviewed the scope
of maintenance work, discussed the results of the assessment with the licensee's
probabilistic risk analyst or shift technical advisor, and verified plant conditions were
consistent with the risk assessment. The inspectors also reviewed TS requirements and
walked down portions of redundant safety systems, when applicable, to verify risk
analysis assumptions were valid and applicable requirements were met. Documents
reviewed are listed in the Attachment to this report.
These activities constituted four maintenance risk assessments and emergent work
control samples as defined in IP 71111.13-05.
10 Enclosure
b. Findings
No findings were identified.
1R15 Operability Determinations and Functional Assessments (71111.15)
.1 Operability Evaluations
a. Inspection Scope
The inspectors reviewed the following operability issues:
- control room board deficiencies and abandoned in-place modifications;
- containment fan cooler unit closed drain valves (Unit 2);
- SI with non-conservative gas void acceptance criteria;
- water leaking in steam generator A vault (Unit 2) (partial);
- cable spreading room.
The inspectors selected these potential operability issues based on the risk significance
of the associated components and systems. The inspectors evaluated the technical
adequacy of the evaluations to ensure that TS operability was properly justified and the
subject component or system remained available such that no unrecognized increase in
risk occurred. The inspectors compared the operability and design criteria in the
appropriate sections of the TSs and FSAR to the licensees evaluations to determine
whether the components or systems were operable. Where compensatory measures
were required to maintain operability, the inspectors determined whether the measures
in place would function as intended and were properly controlled. The inspectors
determined, where appropriate, compliance with bounding limitations associated with the
evaluations. Additionally, the inspectors reviewed a sampling of corrective action
documents to verify that the licensee was identifying and correcting any deficiencies
associated with operability evaluations. Documents reviewed are listed in the
Attachment to this report.
This inspection constituted four completed and two partial operability samples as defined
in IP 71111.15-05.
b. Findings
No findings were identified.
1R18 Plant Modifications (71111.18)
.1 Plant Modifications
a. Inspection Scope
The inspectors reviewed the following modification(s):
- main feedwater isolation valve (MFIV) curtains (permanent);
- main steam isolation valve (MSIV) air line leak repair (temporary);
- EDG exhaust (temporary) (partial); and
11 Enclosure
- 480-volt temporary power to 1B-42 loads (temporary).
The inspectors reviewed the configuration changes and associated 10 CFR 50.59 safety
evaluation screening against the design basis, the FSAR, and the TSs, as applicable, to
verify that the modification did not affect the operability or availability of the affected
systems. The inspectors, as applicable, observed ongoing and completed work
activities to ensure that the modifications were installed as directed and consistent with
the design control documents; the modifications operated as expected; post-modification
testing adequately demonstrated continued system operability, availability, and reliability;
and that operation of the modifications did not impact the operability of any interfacing
systems. As applicable, the inspectors verified that relevant procedure, design, and
licensing documents were properly updated. Lastly, the inspectors discussed the plant
modification with operations, engineering, and training personnel to ensure that the
individuals were aware of how the operation with the plant modification in place could
impact overall plant performance. Documents reviewed are listed in the Attachment to
this report.
This inspection constituted two completed temporary modification samples, one partial
temporary modification sample, and one permanent plant modification sample as
defined in IP 71111.18-05.
b. Findings
No findings were identified.
1R19 Post-Maintenance Testing (71111.19)
.1 Post-Maintenance Testing
a. Inspection Scope
The inspectors reviewed the following post-maintenance testing (PMT) activities to verify
that procedures and test activities were adequate to ensure system operability and
functional capability:
- PMT of PAB ventilation following low flow switch replacement (Units 1 and 2);
- PMT of main generator output breaker disconnects following hotspot repair
(Unit 2); and
- PMT of main steam dump 2MS 2052 to condenser dump control valve (Unit 2).
These activities were selected based upon the SSCs ability to impact risk. The
inspectors evaluated these activities for the following (as applicable): the effect of testing
on the plant had been adequately addressed; testing was adequate for the maintenance
performed; acceptance criteria were clear and demonstrated operational readiness; test
instrumentation was appropriate; tests were performed as written in accordance with
properly reviewed and approved procedures; equipment was returned to its operational
status following testing (temporary modifications or jumpers required for test
12 Enclosure
performance were properly removed after test completion); and test documentation was
properly evaluated. The inspectors evaluated the activities against TSs, the FSAR,
10 CFR Part 50 requirements, licensee procedures, and various NRC generic
communications to ensure that the test results adequately ensured that the equipment
met the licensing basis and design requirements. In addition, the inspectors reviewed
corrective action documents associated with PMTs to determine whether the licensee
was identifying problems and entering them in the CAP, and that the problems were
being corrected commensurate with their importance to safety. Documents reviewed are
listed in the Attachment to this report.
This inspection constituted seven post-maintenance testing samples as defined in
IP 71111.19-05.
b. Findings
Failure to Establish Emergency Diesel Generator Ventilation Damper Testing
Introduction: The inspectors identified an issue of very low safety significance (Green)
and associated non-cited violation (NCV) of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion XI,
"Test Control," because the licensee failed to establish a routine testing procedure to
demonstrate that the air flows for the ventilation systems in the G-01 and G-02 EDG
rooms were sufficient to keep room temperatures maintained at or below the design
basis. The licensee entered this issue into its CAP for evaluation and development of
corrective actions.
Description: The TS 3.8.1 required, in part, that independent and redundant sources of
power be provided to the Engineered Safety Feature Systems. This was met through
each safeguard bus having a normal offsite power source and a standby emergency
power source (EDG). There were two EDGs (G-01 and G-02) that supplied power to the
Train A buses. These diesels were considered operable when the diesel room
temperature was less than 115 degrees Fahrenheit with the EDG carrying design basis
accident loads. For the room temperature to be maintained, three of the four gravity
operated louvers must be opened.
Based on this information, the inspectors reviewed the acceptance criteria for the gravity
operator louvers and found none. In response, the licensee stated the gravity louvers
had to open freely; however, a specified amount was not necessary. Additionally, the
licensee stated that the gravity operated louvers did not have specific acceptance criteria
established to ensure air flows were met and that, instead, the fan motors were used to
determine air flows. The inspectors then questioned the licensee regarding the ability to
accurately predict fan air flow outputs based on the fan motors. Also, the inspectors
questioned what additional monitoring was performed on the fans to ensure that there
was no degradation of the fan blades, no friction on the bearings, or that no bypass flow
was occurring, as well as how the test was performed in a consistent manner. The
licensee provided that there was no periodic testing to ensure air flows.
On March 29, 2012, the licensee initiated CR01750276 in response to the inspectors
concerns regarding the louvers in the G-01 and G-02 EDG rooms. Specifically, the CR
identified that air flows had not been routinely taken to ensure that adequate air flow
requirements were met. At the conclusion of the inspection period, the licensees
corrective actions included performance of air flow measurements on the fan units,
13 Enclosure
creation of a preventive maintenance requirement for taking periodic flow
measurements, and assessment of the identified issue through a condition evaluation.
Additionally, the inspectors noted that the licensee had taken air flow measurements on
the fans in 1998 and 2007, but had not established acceptance criteria and routine
testing. The inspectors noted differences between the 1998 and 2007 data obtained,
and that the licensee had used the lesser-conservative data from these tests to support
the design calculation. The inspectors questioned the use of non-conservative data
values in the design calculations for the maximum temperatures in the EDG rooms to
support operability. This concern was captured in CR1769204. The licensees planned
corrective actions were to revise the calculation to use the accurate data.
Analysis: The inspectors determined that the failure to establish a routine testing
procedure to demonstrate that the air flows for the G-01 and G-02 rooms would keep
room temperatures at or below the maximum allowable temperatures when the EDGs
were carrying design basis accident loads was a performance deficiency warranting
further review. Using IMC 0612, Appendix B, Issue Screening, dated
December 24, 2009, the inspectors determined that this finding was more than minor
because it was associated with the Mitigating Systems Cornerstone attribute for design
control. Specifically, it adversely affected the Mitigating System Cornerstone objective to
ensure the reliability of systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable
consequences.
The inspectors determined the finding could be evaluated using IMC 0609, Significance
Determination Process, Attachment 0609.04, Phase 1 - Initial Screening and
Characterization of Findings, Tables 3b and 4a, for the Mitigating Systems Cornerstone,
dated January 10, 2008. The inspectors answered No to all of the questions in the
Mitigating Systems column of Table 4a; therefore, the finding screened as having very
low safety significance (Green). The licensee entered this issue into the CAP as
AR01750276. The licensees corrective actions included performance of air flow
measurements on the fan units, creation of a preventive maintenance requirement for
taking periodic flow measurements, and assessment of the identified issue through a
condition evaluation.
This finding has a cross-cutting aspect in the area of human performance,
decision-making. Specifically, the licensee did not use conservative assumptions
regarding the verification of the proper air flow through the SR gravity dampers in the
EDG G-01 and G-02 rooms (H.1(b)). The inspectors reviewed the licensees causal
assessment and found that this assessment was consistent with their assessment of the
condition.
Enforcement: Title 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion XI, "Test Control," requires, in part,
that a test program be established to assure that all testing required to demonstrate that
components will perform satisfactorily in service is identified and performed in
accordance with written test procedures which incorporate the requirements and
acceptance limits contained in applicable design documents. Contrary to this, on
March 29, 2012, the inspectors identified that the licensee failed to establish a routine
testing procedure to demonstrate that the air flows for EDGs G-01 and G-02 ventilation
systems would keep the room temperatures at or below the maximum allowable
temperatures when the EDGs were carrying design basis accident loads. Because this
violation was of very low safety significance, and it was entered into the licensees CAP
14 Enclosure
(as CR1750276), this violation is being treated as an NCV, consistent with Section 2.3.2
of the NRC Enforcement Policy (NCV 05000266/2012003-01; 05000301/2012003-01;
Failure to Establish Emergency Diesel Generator Ventilation System Testing).
1R20 Outage Activities (71111.20)
.1 Other Outage Activities
a. Inspection Scope
The inspectors evaluated outage activities for an unplanned Unit 2 outage that began on
June 27, 2012, and continued through the end of the inspection period. The outage
occurred as a result of a turbine control system malfunction that resulted in a turbine
load reject which terminated when the reactor operators inserted a manual reactor trip.
The inspectors reviewed activities to ensure that the licensee considered risk in
developing, planning, and implementing the outage schedule.
The inspectors observed or reviewed the reactor shutdown and cooldown, outage
equipment configuration and risk management, electrical lineups, selected clearances,
control and monitoring of decay heat removal, control of containment activities,
personnel fatigue management, startup and heatup activities, and identification and
resolution of problems associated with the outage.
This inspection constituted one other partial outage sample as defined in
IP 71111.20-05.
b. Findings

risk-significant systems and equipment were capable of performing their intended safety
function, and to verify testing was conducted in accordance with applicable procedural
and TS requirements:
- PAB ventilation TS-87 system monthly test (routine);
- TDAFW quarterly pump and valve test (Unit 1) (inservice testing);
- instrument air valves quarterly SR (Unit 2) (containment isolation valve); and
- reactor coolant system (RCS) leak rate (Unit 2) (RCS).
The inspectors observed in-plant activities and reviewed procedures and associated
records to determine the following:
- did preconditioning occur;
- were the effects of the testing adequately addressed by control room personnel
or engineers prior to the commencement of the testing;
15 Enclosure
- were acceptance criteria clearly stated, demonstrated operational readiness, and
consistent with the system design basis;

in accordance with TSs, the FSAR, procedures, and applicable commitments;
- measuring and test equipment calibration was current;
- test equipment was used within the required range and accuracy; applicable
prerequisites described in the test procedures were satisfied;
- test frequencies met TS requirements to demonstrate operability and reliability;
tests were performed in accordance with the test procedures and other
applicable procedures; jumpers and lifted leads were controlled and restored
where used;
- test data and results were accurate, complete, within limits, and valid;
- test equipment was removed after testing;
- where applicable for inservice testing activities, testing was performed in
accordance with the applicable version of Section XI, American Society of
Mechanical Engineers (ASME) code, and reference values were consistent with
the system design basis;
- where applicable, test results not meeting acceptance criteria were addressed
with an adequate operability evaluation or the SSC was declared inoperable;
- where applicable for SR instrument control surveillance tests, reference setting
data were accurately incorporated in the test procedure;
- where applicable, actual conditions encountering high resistance electrical
contacts were such that the intended safety function could still be accomplished;
- prior procedure changes had not provided an opportunity to identify problems
encountered during the performance of the surveillance or calibration test;
- equipment was returned to a position or status required to support the
performance of its safety functions; and
- all problems identified during the testing were appropriately documented and
dispositioned in the CAP.
Documents reviewed are listed in the Attachment to this report.
This inspection constituted one routine surveillance testing sample, one inservice testing
sample, one reactor coolant system leak detection inspection sample, and one

.1 Engineering Controls (02.02)
a. Inspection Scope
An unresolved item (URI) was documented in NRC Integrated Inspection Report (IR)
05000266/2012002; 05000301/2012002, concerning additional information that was
needed by the inspectors to assess the licensees TSC ventilation system filter testing
program. Supplemental calculations and reviews were performed by the licensee, and
the additional information was reviewed by the inspectors. Specifically, selected
procedures, system design calculations, plant configuration drawings, and related
licensee documentation were reviewed. The inspectors completed these reviews to
verify that the licensees program and its implementation met the requirements of
10 CFR 20.1701 and were consistent with NRC guidance.
b. Findings
Non-Compliance With 10 CFR 20.1701 to Control the Concentration of Radioactive
Material in Air and Ensure That Radiological Airborne Hazards Would Be Minimized in
the Technical Support Center During a Design-Basis Accident
Introduction: The inspectors identified a finding of very low safety significance (Green)
and associated NCV of 10 CFR 20.1701, Use of Process or Other Engineering
Controls. The inspectors identified that the licensee failed to establish adequate high
efficiency particulate air (HEPA) and charcoal filter testing procedures for ensuring that
radiological airborne hazards would be minimized and the habitability of the TSC would
be maintained under accident conditions. Specifically, the licensee failed to ensure
engineering controls that were in place to minimize the concentration of radioactive
material in air in the TSC were maintained in accordance with the design bases.
17 Enclosure
Description: The TSC is an onsite emergency response facility intended to support plant
operations under emergency conditions. The TSC ventilation system is designed to
remove radioactive material from the air, thereby minimizing the radioactive material
entering the TSC during postulated accident scenarios.
The inspectors identified that, for an extended period of time, the licensee did not
validate that the removal efficiencies in the TSC ventilation filter design bases were
being achieved. Specifically, testing of the TSC ventilation HEPA and charcoal filters did
not demonstrate that filter performance was in compliance with the design criteria. The
design bases for the TSC ventilation system HEPA filter was 99 percent for particulate
radioactive material removal efficiency. The licensees surveillance test acceptance
criterion was95 percent. In addition, the design basis for the charcoal filter laboratory
analysis was 95 percent removal efficiency of radioactive iodine. The surveillance test
required 80 percent. Consequently, there was no assurance that the installed TSC
ventilation equipment would perform at its designed radioactive material removal
capacity, thereby minimizing the radiological exposures to the occupants of the TSC
during postulated accidents.
Analysis: The inspectors determined that the failure to establish testing criteria in
accordance with the system design bases was a performance deficiency consistent
with IMC 0612, Power Reactor Inspection Reports. The inspectors determined that the
licensee failed to meet the requirements of 10 CFR 20.1701 to use installed process
equipment to reasonably minimize the level of airborne radioactive materials. The
performance deficiency was reasonably within the licensees ability to foresee and
correct and was indicative of current performance, in that, the licensee had recent
opportunities to self-identify and correct the issue, including when performing recent
technical reviews for NRC license amendment submittals for license renewal, alternate
source term, and extended power uprate.
The inspectors reviewed IMC 0612, Appendix B, "Issue Screening," dated December 24,
2009, and found no similar examples. However, the inspectors determined that the
finding was more than minor because it was associated with the program and process
attribute of exposure control of the occupational radiation safety cornerstone and
adversely affected the cornerstone objective of ensuring the adequate protection of
worker health and safety from exposure radiation and radioactive material. Specifically,
by testing the installed emergency ventilation system filters to removal efficiencies less
than their design criteria, the licensee did not validate that the TSC ventilation system
was capable of performing its design function and minimize worker exposures to
airborne radioactive materials.
The finding was assessed using IMC 0609, Appendix C, Occupational Radiation Safety
Significance Determination Process, (SDP) and was determined to be of very low safety
significance (Green) because it was not an as-low-as-is-reasonably-achievable (ALARA)
planning issue, there was no overexposure or potential for overexposure, and the
licensees ability to assess dose was not compromised. The licensee documented this
issue in its corrective action program. Corrective actions included revising applicable
procedures and based on actual historical filter testing efficiencies, calculating that the
TSC ventilation system was capable of maintaining a radiological habitability of less than
5 Rem total effective dose equivalent (TEDE) for the duration of the design-basis
accidents.
18 Enclosure
The inspectors identified that the most significant contributor to the finding was a
cross-cutting aspect in the area of human performance, resources. Specifically, the
licensee failed to ensure that the TSC ventilation filter testing protocol assured
compliance to the systems designed margins in that the TSC ventilation filter testing
acceptance criteria were established independent of the system design requirements
(H.2(a)).
Enforcement: Title 10 CFR 20.1701 requires that licensees use, to the extent practical,
process or other engineering controls (e.g., containment, decontamination, or ventilation)
to control the concentration of radioactive material in air. Contrary to the above, as of
January 19, 2012, the licensee failed to ensure that effective engineering controls were
implemented to control the concentration of radioactive material in air in the TSC in
accordance with the facilitys design bases. Because the issue was of very low safety
significance and has been entered into the licensees CAP (as CR01752498), the
violation is being treated as an NCV consistent with Section 2.3.2 of the NRC
Enforcement Policy (NCV 05000266/2012003-02; 05000301/2012003-02;
Non-Compliance With 10 CFR 20.1701 to Control the Concentration of Radioactive
Material in Air and Ensure that Radiological Airborne Hazards Would Be Minimized in
the Technical Support Center During a Design-Basis Accident). This NCV closes
URI 05000266/2012002-05; 05000301/2012002-05, TSC Filter Testing May Be
Inadequate," in Section 4OA5.2.

to determine if indicator related data was adequately assessed and reported. To assess
the adequacy of the licensees PI data collection and analyses, the inspectors discussed
with radiation protection staff, the scope and breadth of its data review and the results of
those reviews. The inspectors independently reviewed electronic personal dosimetry
dose rate and accumulated dose alarms and dose reports and the dose assignments for
any intakes that occurred during the time period reviewed to determine if there were
potentially unrecognized occurrences. The inspectors also conducted walkdowns of
numerous locked high and very-high radiation area entrances to determine the

4OA2 Identification and Resolution of Problems (71152)
.1 Routine Review of Items Entered into the Corrective Action Program
a. Inspection Scope
As part of the various baseline inspection procedures discussed in previous sections of
this report, the inspectors routinely reviewed issues during baseline inspection activities
and plant status reviews to verify that they were being entered into the licensees CAP at
an appropriate threshold, that adequate attention was being given to timely corrective
actions, and that adverse trends were identified and addressed. Attributes reviewed
included: identification of the problem was complete and accurate; timeliness was
commensurate with the safety significance; evaluation and disposition of performance
issues, generic implications, common causes, contributing factors, root causes,
extent-of-condition reviews, and previous occurrences reviews were proper and
adequate; and that the classification, prioritization, focus, and timeliness of corrective
actions were commensurate with safety and sufficient to prevent recurrence of the issue.
Minor issues entered into the licensees CAP as a result of the inspectors observations
are included in the Attachment to this report.
These routine reviews for the identification and resolution of problems did not constitute
any additional inspection samples. Instead, by procedure they were considered an
integral part of the inspections performed during the quarter and documented in

.3 Annual Sample: Review of Operator Workarounds
a. Inspection Scope
The inspectors evaluated the licensees implementation of the process used to identify,
document, track, and resolve operational challenges. Inspection activities included, but
were not limited to, a review of the cumulative effects of the operator workarounds
(OWAs) on system availability and the potential for improper operation of the system, for
potential impacts on multiple systems, and on the ability of operators to respond to plant
transients or accidents.
The inspectors performed a review of the cumulative effects of OWAs. The documents
listed in the Attachment to this report were reviewed to accomplish the objectives of the
inspection procedure. The inspectors reviewed both current and historical operational
challenge records to determine whether the licensee was identifying operator challenges
at an appropriate threshold, had entered them into the CAP, and proposed or
implemented appropriate and timely corrective actions which addressed each issue.
Reviews were conducted to determine if any operator challenge could increase the
possibility of an Initiating Event, if the challenge was contrary to training, required a
change from long-standing operational practices, or created the potential for
inappropriate compensatory actions. Additionally, all temporary modifications were
reviewed to identify any potential effect on the functionality of Mitigating Systems,
impaired access to equipment, or required equipment uses for which the equipment was
not designed. Daily plant and equipment status logs, degraded instrument logs, and
operator aids or tools being used to compensate for material deficiencies were also
assessed to identify any potential sources of unidentified OWAs.
This review constituted one operator workaround annual inspection sample as defined in
IP 71152-05.

The inspectors elected to review this practice as a selected issue follow-up item.
This review constituted the completion of one in-depth problem identification and
resolution sample as defined in IP 71152-05, completing the partial sample referenced
previously in integrated IR 05000266/2012002; 05000301/2012002.
b. Findings
Partial Turnover of Extended Power Uprate Modifications
23 Enclosure
Introduction: During the inspectors review of the licensees partial turnover process, the
inspectors identified a URI associated with the process.
Description: The inspectors selected the licensees partial turnover process as a
selected issue follow-up due to the potential inadequacies associated with the process.
As previously identified in IRs 05000266/2011008; 05000301/2011008, and
05000266/2012002; 05000301/2012002, the inspectors identified problems and
violations associated with the licensees partial turnover process where systems had
been partially turned over and declared operable, and it was later discovered that
portions of the modification were not tested prior to being placed in-service. With the
additional identification of problems associated with the partial turnover process
referenced in CRs in Integrated IRs 05000266/2012002; 05000301/2012002, the
inspectors were concerned that additional systems may be subject to similar issues as a
result of the partial turnover process. At the completion of the first quarter inspection
period, the inspectors were awaiting the requested documentation from the licensee to
complete their review of this issue.
During the second quarter, the inspectors received portions of the requested
documentation. The issue is unresolved pending review of the portions of the previously
requested documentation (URI 05000266/2012003-03; 05000301/2012003-03, Partial
Turnover of Extended Power Uprate Modifications).
.5 Selected Issue Follow-Up Inspection: Licensed Operator Respirator Qualifications And
Control Room Staffing
a. Inspection Scope
During a review of items entered in the licensees CAP, the inspectors found recent
corrective action items documenting repetitive occurrences associated the licensed
operator respirator qualifications. These CRs related to AR01670172 which
documented a condition where shift staffing was challenged due to having expired
licensed operator respirator qualifications. The inspectors questioned the licensees
evaluation of the CR regarding the conclusions reached. Specifically, the inspectors
noted that the individual was credited with watch-standing during the period of expired
qualifications and that the procedures for the annual requirements conflicted. The
licensee entered the inspectors concerns in the CAP as AR01747333 and AR1772196.
The licensee was able to demonstrate through timed entries and door logs that control
room staffing was not compromised due to the expired respirator qualification.
Additionally, the licensees corrective actions created a report to track licensed operator
respirator qualifications as well as initiated a procedure change requests to more clearly
document licensed operator watch-standing requirements and clarify the definitions for
annual requirements.
This review constituted one in-depth problem identification and resolution sample as
defined in IP 71152-05.

.4 (Closed) Licensee Event Reports (LERs) 05000301/2011-004-00 and
05000301/2011-004-01, Automatic Reactor Trip During Startup Physics Testing Due to
Source Range
Introduction: A Green NCV of 10 CFR 50.65(a)(3) was self-revealed when an
unplanned reactor trip occurred as a result of the failure of a source range detector
during low power physics testing. Specifically, the licensee failed to adequately evaluate
operating experience and incorporate it into preventive maintenance programs to
periodically replace aging electrical subcomponents in nuclear instrumentation systems
and a subsequent age-related failure resulted in initiating a plant transient.
Description: On June 13, 2011, during the performance of beginning of life (BOL) low
power physics testing, and with reactor power decreasing due to inserting reactor control
rods to obtain test data, power decreased below the setpoint that actuates and
automatically places source range monitoring (SRM) instrumentation in service. When
SRMs were actuated, channel 2N31 experienced a failure of the associated high voltage
power supply. This failure satisfied the SRM high flux reactor trip logic and resulted in
an automatic reactor trip.
Subsequent review by the licensee determined that the failure was due to age-related
degradation and that the most likely cause of the failure was because the output filter
capacitors were degraded. The licensee indicated that the recent failures were
experienced on power supplies manufactured in the 1970s, and that the date codes on
the capacitors in the subject units was also from the 1970s. Additionally, the licensee
noted that many of the components used in the construction of the related units were
40 years old.
The licensees root cause analysis identified historical operating experience as early as
1992, which reflected the need to periodically repair or replace power supplies; and that
in 1998, Westinghouse provided a recommendation to replace power supplies; or at a
minimum, replace filtering capacitors every 10 years. In 1998, the licensee made a
decision not to incorporate the vendor recommendations into the preventive
maintenance program.
The licensee concluded that the root cause could be attributed to life cycle management
and preventive maintenance program deficiencies. The corrective action to prevent
recurrence was related to the life cycle management plan for the nuclear instruments.
The inspectors considered that this action was adequate to address concerns related to
the nuclear instruments. The inspectors reviewed the issue with the licensee with
respect to subcomponent aging management. The licensee had indicated that
subsequent to this event and industry reviews, it had expanded the subcomponent aging
management program. The licensee provided evidence which demonstrated that a
program for subcomponent aging and management was in the final stage of
development, and that the program was reviewing several categories of subcomponents
consisting of over 4,000 items. Additionally, the program was looking at single point
vulnerabilities and risk prioritization of reviews. The inspectors concluded that this
program appeared to approach subcomponent aging management systematically and
would provide a strong barrier to preclude similar failures in the future.
Analysis: The inspectors determined that the failure to incorporate operating experience
related to aging of electrical subcomponents specific to nuclear instrument source range
26 Enclosure
monitors into preventive maintenance programs was a performance deficiency
warranting further review. The finding was determined to be more than minor in
accordance with IMC 0612, Power Reactor Inspection Reports, Appendix B, Issue
Screening, dated December 24, 2009, because the finding was associated with the
Initiating Events Cornerstone attribute of equipment performance. Specifically, the
availability and reliability of the nuclear instruments was degraded to a point where an
instrument failure caused a reactor trip, an event that adversely affected the cornerstone
objective to limit the likelihood of those events that upset plant stability and challenge
critical safety functions during power operations.
The inspectors determined that the finding could be evaluated using IMC 0609,
Significance Determination Process, Attachment 0609.04, Phase 1 - Initial Screening
and Characterization of Findings, Table 4a for the Initiating Events Cornerstone, dated
January 10, 2008. The inspectors determined that the finding did not contribute to both
the likelihood of a reactor event and the likelihood that mitigation equipment or functions
would not be available; therefore, the issue screened as having very low safety
significance (Green).
The inspectors reviewed the licensees root cause analysis. The licensee considered
the issue a legacy issue related to the 1998 decision to ignore 1992 operating
experience and a 1998 vendor recommendation to replace power supplies at 10-year
intervals. Because the adverse decision occurred in 1998, the licensee concluded that
no crosscutting aspect occurred. However, the inspectors noted that the licensee
continued to amass internal and external operating experience from 1998 to 2011,
including a 2010 NRC-identified trend of source range monitoring failures as
documented in IR 05000266/2010002; 05000301/2010002, Section 4OA2.3,
Semiannual Trend, and that a rigorous and thorough evaluation of these issues could
have precluded the most recent failure. Therefore, the inspectors determined that the
issue had a crosscutting aspect in the area of corrective action program,
evaluation/extent of condition. Specifically, the licensee failed to thoroughly evaluate
related nuclear instrument failure rates such that the resolutions addressed the causes
and extent of conditions for age-related failures of electrical subcomponents (P.1(c)).
Enforcement: Title 10 CFR 50.65(a)(3) states, in part, that preventive maintenance
activities shall be evaluated at least every refueling cycle and take into account, where
practical, industry-wide operating experience. Contrary to this requirement, the licensee
failed to evaluate its preventative maintenance activities to take into account a
Westinghouse Infogram, dated August 8, 1998, that recommended replacement of
power supplies every 10 years, and other industry-wide operating experience issued
since 1998 related to the replacement of aging electrical subcomponents. This failure
resulted in electrical subcomponents of a source range monitor not being replaced since
the 1970s. A failure of one of these subcomponents resulted in a trip of the Unit 2
reactor on June 13, 2011.
Because this violation was of very low safety significance and it was entered into the
licensees CAP (as root cause evaluation (RCE) 01660378-02), this violation is being
27 Enclosure
treated as an NCV, consistent with Section 2.3.2 of the NRC enforcement Policy
(NCV 05000266/2012003-04; 05000301/2012003-04, Failure to Incorporate Industry
Operating Experience Into Preventive Maintenance Programs for Nuclear
Instrumentation).
This event follow-up review constituted one sample as defined in IP 71153-05.

.3 Temporary Instruction (TI)-2515/182 - Review of the Industry Initiative to Control
Degradation of Underground Piping and Tanks
a. Inspection Scope
Leakage from buried and underground pipes has resulted in ground water contamination
incidents with associated heightened NRC and public interest. The industry issued a
guidance document, NEI 09-14, Guideline for the Management of Buried Piping
Integrity, (ADAMS Accession No. ML1030901420), to describe the goals and required
actions (commitments made by the licensee) resulting from this underground piping and
tank initiative. On December 31, 2010, NEI issued Revision 1 to NEI 09-14, Guidance
for the Management of Underground Piping and Tank Integrity, (ADAMS Accession
No. ML110700122), with an expanded scope of components which included
underground piping that was not in direct contact with the soil and underground tanks.
On November 17, 2011, the NRC issued TI-2515/182, Review of the Industry Initiative
to Control Degradation of Underground Piping and Tanks, to gather information related
to the industrys implementation of this initiative.
The inspectors reviewed the licensees programs for buried pipe, underground piping,
and tanks in accordance with TI-2515/182 to determine if the program attributes and
completion dates identified in Sections 3.3 A and 3.3 B of NEI 09-14, Revision 1, were
28 Enclosure
contained in the licensees program and implementing procedures. For the buried pipe
and underground piping program attributes with completion dates that had passed, the
inspectors reviewed records to determine if the attribute was in fact complete and to
determine if the attribute was accomplished in a manner which reflected good or poor
practices in program management.
Based upon the scope of the review described above, Phase I of TI-2515/182 was
completed.
b. Observations
The licensees buried piping and underground piping and tanks program was inspected
in accordance with Paragraphs 03.01.a through 03.01.c of TI-2515/182, and was found
to meet all applicable aspects of NEI 09-14, Revision 1, as set forth in Table 1 of the TI.
c. Findings
No findings were identified.
