1.0 INTRODUCTION
This Report presents the results of the Seismic Walkdown conducted for the Beaver Valley Power Station Unit 2 (BV2) in support of FirstEnergy Nuclear Operating Company's (FENOC)response to NTTF Recommendation 2.3 in NRC 50.54(f) Letter, dated March 12, 2012.Consistent with the guidelines in Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) Report 1025286,"Seismic Walkdown Guidance for Resolution of Fukushima Near-Term Task Force Recommendation 2.3: Seismic," the walkdown implements the procedure described in Section 5.0 of this report.2.0 SEISMIC LICENSING BASIS The seismic licensing basis is contained in the Unit 2 Updated Final Safety Analysis Report (UFSAR).Geologic and seismologic surveys of the site were conducted to establish two design earthquakes with different intensities of ground motion. These are the operating basis earthquake (OBE) and the design basis earthquake (DBE). The OBE and DBE are considered equivalent to 1/2 Safe Shutdown Earthquake and the Safe Shutdown Earthquake (SSE), respectively.
The OBE is the earthquake which is of sufficient probability of occurrence to require its resulting ground accelerations at the site to be considered for operational loadings.
The OBE produces the vibratory ground motion for which the Seismic Category I structures, systems and components are designed to remain operational without undue risk to the health and safety of the public. The OBE is considered to be a modified Mercalli Intensity VI as measured at the site.The DBE/SSE is that earthquake giving rise to the maximum vibratory ground acceleration at a site which can be reasonably predicted from geologic and seismic evidence.Seismic Category I instrumentation and electrical equipment are designed to maintain the capability to: 1. Initiate a protective action during the safe shutdown earthquake (SSE), 2. Withstand seismic disturbances during post-accident operation without loss of safety function.I Instrumentation and electrical equipment are seismically qualified in accordance with general instructions for earthquake requirements (UFSAR Section 3.7B.3.1).
These requirements conform with, and exceed, those outlined in IEEE Standard 344-1971, and are in agreement with the acceptance criteria in SRP 3.10, Rev. 1, 11-75 (NUREG-75-087).
Although not required (due to Beaver Valley's docket date being before October 27, 1972), IEEE 344-1975 was employed for seismic qualification of Seismic Category I electrical equipment when feasible.Instrumentation and electrical equipment may be tested as individual components, as part of a simulated structural section, or as part of a completely assembled module or unit.1-1 -11 FIYEMUECI C151 FIGURE 3.?R- I DESIGN RESPONSE SPECTRA SAFE SHUTDOWN EARTHOUAKE B AVER VALLEY POWER STAITO-UNIT 2 FINAL SAFETY ANALYSIS REPORT FIGURE 378-2 DESIGN RESPONSE SPECTRA 1/2 SAFE SHUTDOWN EARTHQUAKE SEAVER VALLEY POWERSTATION-UNITZ FINAL SAFETY ANALYSIS REPORT UFSAR Figure 3.7B-1: Response Spectra SSE UFSAR Figure 3.7B-2: Response Spectra 1/2/ SSE The response of racks, panels, cabinets, and consoles is considered in assessing the seismic capability of instrumentation and electrical equipment.
As a minimum, mounted equipment is qualified to acceleration levels consistent with those transmitted by supporting structures.
A design objective is to minimize amplification of floor acceleration by supporting members to mounted equipment.
Determination of amplification and seismic adequacy of instrumentation 2
and electrical equipment are implemented by the analysis and testing methods outlined in UFSAR Section 3.7B.3.1.Supports for Seismic Category I electrical equipment, instrumentation, and control systems are seismically qualified by the analysis and testing procedures outlined in Section 3.7B.3. 1.Supports are designed to withstand the combined effects of normal operating loads acting simultaneously with horizontal and vertical components of earthquake loading and must retain their functional capability and structural integrity as applicable.
When qualified by analysis, stress levels permitted under applicable codes. If there are no applicable codes, the stress level under the combined loading for an operating basis earthquake (OBE) does not exceed 75 percent of the minimum yield strength of the material in accordance with the ASTM specification.
The design earthquakes, OBE and DBE, for the plant are specified by OBE and DBE design response spectra. These criteria are based on the plant site geologic investigations and seismologic recommendations as discussed in Sections 2.5 and 3.7 through 3.10 of the Unit 2 UFSAR. These spectra represent earthquake ground motions which are potentially damaging to structures.
While these spectra could be exceeded by ground motion "spikes" above 10 Hz, extensive investigations concerning the effects of these high-frequency motions, both from structure/equipment evaluations as well as seismological considerations, demonstrate the adequacy of the spectra used for design.The horizontal design response spectra used for seismic analysis are shown on UFSAR Figures 3.7B-1 and 3.7B-2. The spectra for the safe shutdown earthquake (SSE) correspond to a maximum ground surface acceleration of 0.125g, and the spectra for the 1/2 safe shutdown earthquake (1/2 SSE) correspond to a maximum ground acceleration of 0.06g. (The operating basis earthquake, which is referenced in Section 3.2, and Regulatory Guide 1.143, is equivalent to 1/2 of the SSE.) These spectra differ from the spectra in Regulatory Guide 1.60. The Beaver Valley Power Station -Unit 2 (BVPS-2) spectra are based in Appendices 2C and 2D of the BVPS-2 PSAR, and as revised in the response to USAEC Regulatory Position 3 of May 25, 1973 (Question 3.15, BVPS-2 PSAR, Amendment 7, July 9, 1973). The vertical design response spectra are taken to be two-thirds of the horizontal design response spectra.For the Beaver Valley Nuclear Power Plant Unit 2 design SSC spectra refer to Figure 2-1 3 1.0 2 4-j M 0.8 0.6 0.4 0.2 0.0 Beaver Valley Unit 2 SSE Spectra (5% damping)0.1 1 10 100 Frequency

2.3 Seismic
Walkdown: " J. Reddington" R. Mueller" D. Reny* F. Beigi The ABS Consulting Walkdown Team consisted of the following individuals: " F. Beigi" E. Guerra* B. Lucarelli Additionally, J. Reddington served as the reviewer of the Licensing Basis and of the Individual Plant Examination External Events (IPEEE). Mr. M. Alvi served as the lead peer reviewer for this effort.The seismic walkdown personnel, peer reviewer and lead peer reviewer possess technical degrees from accredited universities and have been trained in the application of seismic 4 experience data for seismic verification of nuclear power plant (NPP) structures, systems, and components (SSC). In addition to completion of the NTTF 2.3 training provided by EPRI these individuals (J. Reddington, M. Alvi, F. Beigi, E. Guerra, and B. Lucarelli) have also completed the EPRI Seismic Qualification Utility Group (SQUG) training.
Resumes and certificates of the walkdown team members are presented in Appendix A of this report.The above mentioned individuals have experience in earthquake engineering and seismic analysis.
Additionally, the team collectively represents previous Nuclear Power Plant walkdowns experience associated with the A-46 program, IPEEE, and recent Fukushima related stress tests for plants outside the United States.Based on their knowledge of plant documentation, associated SSCs, equipment classes, and the previous IPEEE evaluation, these individuals also supported equipment selection, walkdown planning, equipment location determination, and selection of walk-by areas for the 2.3 Seismic Walkdown.4.0 SELECTION OF SSCS Consistent with the guidance in EPRI 1025286, "Seismic Walkdown Guidance," (Reference 1)dated May, 2012, the process of selecting the SSCs for inclusion of the Seismic Walkdown Equipment List (SWEL) 1 and SWEL 2 in support of the walkdown began with the creation of larger lists. The development of the list for SWEL 1 is presented first in Section 4.1 and it is followed by that for SWEL 2 in Section 4.2.4.1 DEVELOPMENT OF THE SWEL 1 LIST (RELATED TO KEY SAFETY FUNCTIONS)
The EPRI guidance document (Reference
- 1) says that using the previously developed IPEEE seismic equipment list as a starting point for category 1 SSCs is acceptable provided it covers all of the five safety functions requested, including the containment function.ABS Consulting has assisted FENOC in developing a seismic equipment list (SEL) for use in a seismic probabilistic risk assessment (PRA) for Beaver Valley Unit 2. An existing internal PRA model is often a prerequisite to developing such a seismic PRA. For example, the PRA modeling logic for non-seismic events was used as a starting point for the seismic PRA plant response model. It was therefore decided, to combine the lists of SSCs from both the currently available Beaver Valley Unit 2 internal events PRA (i.e., working model BV2REV5F based on Reference
- 2) and the Beaver Valley Unit 2 IPEEE SEL list of 1443 SSCs (Reference 3).Duplicate SSCs, caused by (1) overlap between the two lists and (2) because the PRA contains 5 duplicate basic events for multiple failure modes of an SSC, were removed. Information about the original source of the remaining SSCs was retained.
In short, the requirements in the EPRI walkdown guidance document in preparing the SSC SEL list were adequately satisfied.
However, during SSC sampling in preparation for the walkdown, selections were generally made preferentially from the IPEEE lists of SSCs. This is because the design packages were more likely to be available for these SSCs, so that advantage could be taken of the earlier design review work.SSCs from other sources were also chosen so that they were useful for seismic PRA purposes, but did not appear on either source list. For example, panels to be represented in the still evolving internal fire PRA and tanks represented in the PRA for internal floods were also reviewed for possible inclusion.
Again, duplicate SSCs were eliminated.
The list of SSCs in Tables B-i and B-3 of EPRI 1025286 (Reference
- 1) were also reviewed for completion.
Some SSCs were added as a result of this review.Nuclear steam supply system (NSSS) related SSCs were not required for this application and so were not added to the list. Also excluded were the supports for this equipment along with all the components mounted in or on this NSSS equipment.
Category 1 structures were also added in preparation for the seismic PRA, though they also are not required for the current walkdowns.
Careful attention was paid to the SSCs in the internal events PRA that are included in the modeling of the containment isolation function and for the evaluation of interfacing loss of coolant accident (LOCA) frequencies.
These SSCs were flagged as important to the containment safety function; i.e., they are involved in the computation of large early release frequency (LERF).Additionally, major new and replaced equipment, added to the plant since the performance of the IPEEE and the last Beaver Valley Unit 2 internal events PRA update are noted in a separate column of the developed lists titled "Screen 4d -Major New & Replacement Equip." These events were identified by consulting with long term plant operations staff that identified specific equipment items that had been replaced or overhauled, and by computerized searches of the word "replace" in titles of existing engineering change packages (ECPs). Both lists were then evaluated to match equipment IDs appearing on Base List 1 with specific ECP numbers, that were judged to be of a major change.6 There were several IPEEE vulnerabilities requiring plant changes identified for the Beaver Valley Unit 2 IPEEE. These vulnerabilities were associated with RCP Seal LOCA, Station Blackout, containment bypass/isolation failure, loss of switchgear HVAC and transients without scram. Modifications performed in response to these vulnerabilities included new operator action procedures for mitigation of loss of emergency switchgear ventilation, failure of 4,160 V fast bus transfer, and battery load shedding.
In addition some hardware modifications were implemented such as capability to crosstie Unit 1 and 2 diesel generators.
Once the initial list of SSCs was developed, it was first screened to retain only seismic category 1 quality, equipment.
Whether the SSC is regularly inspected, was also noted as this is justification for a second screen; e.g., for piping systems and containment penetrations.
Attributes of the retained SSCs were collected for the following information:
- Equipment ID" Brief SSC Description" SSC location -by building, elevation, and area description" The room environment where the SSC is located; including radiation level, moisture level, room temperature, and whether the location is inside or outside of plant buildings" System ID; including both frontline and support systems" Key associated safety function from among the list of five safe shutdown and containment functions (i.e., Reactor Reactivity Control, Reactor Coolant Pressure Control, Reactor Coolant Inventory Control, Decay Heat Removal, and Containment Function) and several support system functions mentioned in the EPRI walkdown guidance.
Panels not previously evaluated for their associated safety functions (i.e., from the ongoing PRA for internal fires) were retained for the selection process." Internal event PRA risk achievement worth (RAW) and Fussell-Vesely importance measures, if available.
The equipment ID and description fields were used to assign each retained SSC to one of the EPRI equipment categories (from Table A-I of Reference
- 1) used for fragility analysis.
For some EPRI Categories (i.e., 0, 1, 2, 3 and 20), a sub-category was defined and tracked separately from the original category.
For example, Category la was assigned for 480V breakers that are found within the motor control center (MCC) cabinet (i.e., Category 1). None of the breaker SSCs (i.e., assigned to Category la) were separately selected for the walkdown because they are accounted for already in the selection of MCCs. The check valves and manual valves were assigned to Sub-Category Od, to avoid linking these numerous SSCs with SSCs also assigned to 7 the EPRI other category.
A total of 10 SSCs were selected from the 0 and Od EPRI categories.
All of the EPRI categories were later employed as part of the SSC selection process. Except for EPRI Categories 11 (chillers), 12 (air compressors), and 13 (motor generators) at least one SSC was selected from the other EPRI categories.
Equipment in categories 11, 12, and 13 do appear on the combined list, however, at Beaver Valley Unit 2, none of these equipment are seismic Category 1 and therefore are screened from Base list 1.Base List 1, as defined in the EPRI walkdown guidance is attached as Table 4-1 for Beaver Valley Unit 2. The equipment coming out of Screen #3 and entering Screen #4, make up the"Base List 1". All SSCs in this table are seismic Category 1 SSCs, are not regularly inspected, and are associated with one of the safety functions and supporting systems defined in the EPRI guidance.
They are therefore candidates for the SSC selection process. The column labeled SSC source identifies the original list of SSCs from which the SSC made its way onto the list. In some cases, SSCs appeared on both the original internal PRA and the IPEEE lists for Beaver Valley Unit 2. This is so indicated in the SSC source column.SWEL 1, as defined in the EPRI walkdown guidance (Reference
- 1) is attached as Table 4-2.The format is the same as that in the Base List 1, and the table is the same except that only the selected SSCs are shown. The equipment coming out of Screen #4 and entering the SWEL 1 bucket make up the SWEL 1 list. The selected SSCs have been chosen to account for a variety of systems, equipment types, room environments, and considering whether the SSCs involve new or replaced equipment since the completion of the IPEEE, or are subject to enhancements as a result of findings from the IPEEE.SWEL 1 includes representative items from some of the variations within each of the above attributes.
A total of 109 SSCs were selected.
Beaver Valley Unit 2 plant operations staff was consulted in the SSC selection process. The selected list of SSCs is from most all of the major buildings including the containment.
Two components are from the valve pit and one (Refueling Water Storage Tank) is from the yard. Many of the selected SSCs are from support systems, but there are also SSCs selected from each frontline system. A total of 94 SSCs came from the original IPEEE or current internal events PRA model. Another 10 SSCs came from the list of panels reviewed for the Fire PRA (Fire Panels). SSCs are selected from each of the safety functions, including 7 related to the containment function.
There were 13 SSCs selected that are located in relatively high radiation areas and 11 that are often in damp or humid areas and 2 that 8 are in wet areas. Most SSCs selected are in cool and dry areas. However, 77 are chosen from normally warm areas and 10 from relatively hot areas The column in Table 4-2 labeled "Reason for Selection into SWEL I" summarizes the basis for selecting the chosen SSCs. The screens referred to for each SSC are associated with the screen numbers listed across the top of the table. SSCs which are new or subject to a major replacement are assigned a screen of 4d. Also, SSCs subject to IPEEE vulnerability are labeled as Screen 4e.For a number of SSCs, the internal events PRA importance rankings (i.e., Screen 4f) indicated that the SSC is risk significant (i.e., RAW>2 or FV>.005).
A representative set, but not all, of such risk significant SSCs were, therefore, included in the selected list. A number of selected SSCs are located inside the containment.
These SSCs were not accessible and therefore were not examined during the September walkdowns.
Those SSC's located in containment were walked down on October 5th 2012 during refueling outage 2R16.4.2 DEVELOPMENT OF SWEL 2 FOR SPENT FUEL POOL RELATED ITEMS For spent fuel pool repeated items, there was no starting list of SSCs with which to begin.Instead, the functions of the spent fuel pool systems were reviewed and equipment related to pool cooling and make up were included on a new list. Reference 4 details the operator actions to respond to a loss of spent fuel pool cooling or a loss of inventory.
The functions considered were normal spent fuel pool cooling, spent fuel pool makeup from demineralized water, spent fuel pool makeup using gravity feed from the refueling water storage tank (RWST), and spent fuel pool makeup from the fire protection system or from river water. The equipment identified for these functions in Reference 4 were included in the list along with the SSCs which make up the boundaries of the alternative makeup flow paths. The RWST and CVCS (i.e., from the blender) system were not included in the spent fuel pool list of SSCs as those systems are included in Base List 1; i.e., see Section 4.1.Base List 2 is attached as Table 4-3. The equipment coming out of Screen #2 and entering Screen #3 in Figure 1-2 of the EPRI walkdown guidance report (Reference
- 1) make up "Base List 2." All SSCs on this list are seismic category 1 and involve equipment and systems related to the spent fuel pool. At Beaver Valley Unit 2, the spent fuel pool cooling pumps and heat exchangers are Seismic Category 1 and therefore are included on Base List 2 9 Attributes of the retained SSCs were collected for the following information: " Equipment ID" Brief SSC Description" SSC location -by building, elevation, and plant room number" The room environment in where the SSC is located; including radiation level, moisture level, room temperature, and whether the location is inside or outside of plant buildings.
The equipment ID and description fields were used to assign each retained SSC to one of the EPRI equipment Categories used for fragility analysis.
These EPRI categories were later employed as part of the SSC selection process.At Beaver Valley Unit 2, it is not possible to siphon the spent fuel pool level down to less than 10' above the top of the spent fuel rack; i.e., failures resulting in a rapid drain-down cannot occur (Reference 5.). Therefore, the rapid drain-down list of SSCs is empty for Beaver Valley Unit 2.SWEL 2, as defined in the EPRI walkdown guidance is attached as Table 4-4. A total of 10 equipment items are included in SWEL 2.There are no entries from rapid drain-down considerations; i.e., from Screen #4. The equipment coming out of Screen #3 and entering the SWEL 2 bucket in Figure 1-2 from the EPRI walkdown guidance report make up this second Seismic Walkdown Equipment List. The format is the same as that in the Base List 2, and the table entries are the same except that only the selected SSCs are shown. The selected SSCs have been chosen to account for a variety of equipment types and room environments.
Since Base List 2 is much shorter than that of Base List 1, and the number of applied screens smaller, the column labeled "Reason for Selection" simply contains the associated EPRI category and a text description of why each SSC was chosen. Since the types of Seismic Category 1 equipment related to the spent fuel pool are limited, so too is the variety of equipment types among the SSCs selected.10
5.0 SEISMIC
WALKDOWN AND AREA WALK-BYS This section summarizes the activities prior to, during, and after performing the NTTF 2.3 seismic walkdown and area walk-bys.
It also presents the results and findings of the walkdown and documents the checklists utilized to record the walkdown data.It is concluded that the approach implemented to conduct the seismic walkdowns and area walk-bys satisfies the characteristics and recommendations outlined in EPRI Report 1025286.Therefore, by following these guidelines, the walkdown approach and format of the results documented herein fulfills the requests established in the NRC 50.54(f) letter, Enclosure 3, Recommendation 2.3: Seismic.5.1 WALKDOWN PREPARATION The overall procedure directly implements the EPRI guidelines.
However, due to their unique nature, the following description gives special attention to the (1) selection and execution of the configuration checks of selected anchorage, and (2) the verification of the seismic adequacy of block walls in the vicinity of equipment on the SWEL. EPRI guidelines recommend that a minimum of 50 percent of the equipment considered in the walkdown be examined to document the existing anchorage configurations, and assess this configuration relative to the design basis.It. also recommends that the block wall maps be retrieved to document previous evaluations in support of NTTF 2.3.Prior to the walkdowns, the Seismic Walkdown Engineers (SWE) examined available plant documentation associated with (1) anchorage design, and (2) block wall capacity calculations, and correlated these to relevant SWEL components and the respective Seismic Walkdown Checklists (SWC) and Area Walk-By Checklists (AWC). This pre-walkdown activity contributed to gaining familiarity and critical insights regarding the components and areas to be walked down. The relevant design documentation, drawings and calculations were uploaded to each of the SWEs electronic tablets used during the walkdown with the intention of verifying, if required, any anchorage configuration or block wall seismic adequacy.5.2 NTTF 2.3 WALKDOWNS The NTTF 2.3 walkdowns at Davis-Besse were performed over a duration of four days from July 11 to July 14, 2012. The overall task man-hour, including walkdowns and post walkdown 146 preparations, was 620 hours0.00718 days <br />0.172 hours <br />0.00103 weeks <br />2.3591e-4 months <br />. During the walkdowns, the SWEs completed the walkdown checklists as SWEL components were inspected.
Selected anchorage configurations were verified for 50% of the floor or wall mounted components on the SWEL with respect to design documentation, including anchorage design drawings, A-46/JPEEE SEWS and A-46 calculations.
Anchorage configuration could not be verified for some SWEL components MCCs due to lack of accessibility inside the cabinet or the presence of recently added fire proofing material obscuring the anchorage for panels inside the Control Room. These situations were addressed by verifying that the A-46 anchorage calculations were consistent with the design drawings.Masonry walls in the vicinity of SWEL and non-SWEL items were recorded in the SWCs and AWCs. Subsequently, the SWEs verified the seismic adequacy of the block walls based on IE Bulletin 80-11 documentation.
5.3 POST WALKDOWN ACTIVITIES The primary activity after the walkdown involved compiling the SWCs and the AWCs.Additional documentation, such as design calculations and/or A-46/IPEEE submittals, was also reviewed to support configuration checks. Photographs taken during the walkdown were linked to the respective checklists.
Some of the findings of the walkdown that could not readily be dispositioned during the walkdowns, were evaluated further through additional calculation/modification package reviews for proper disposition.
The post walkdown activity also developed this walkdown report.147 6.0
SUMMARY
OF THE WALKDOWN RESULTS 6.1 WALKDOWN ITEMS AND WALK-BY AREAS The SWEL 1 included a total of 109 components, and SWEL 2 included a total of 7 components.
From this total of 116 components, 108 components were walked down and 8 components were inaccessible and will require walkdown during the next plant's refueling outage. These eight items located inside the Containment Building will be walked down later during the next scheduled plant refueling outage. W.O. # 200529380 has been generated to have these walkdowns performed during 18RFO. Cabinets and panels listed in Table 6-3a will have their walkdowns completed by opening the cabinet doors and inspecting the internals consistent with the FAQ distributed 9-17-12 titled "Opening Cabinets".
These components will be Completed no later then 18RFO. Table 6-1 and Table 6-2 identify the walkdown items and walk-by areas, respectively, and Table 6-3 presents a list of items on the SWEL which were inaccessible while the plant is in operation.
These components will be walked down during the next refueling outage scheduled for 2014. The areas walk-bys and the walkdown items are cross correlated on the respective SWCs and AWCs. Table 6-4 provides the total number of walked down components arranged by their respective equipment classes.Table 6-1: Davis-Besse NTTF 2.3 Walkdown Items (SWEL 1+2)Equipment Equip.

The Plant is well maintained, and no major issues related to potentially adverse conditions were uncovered.
In general, based on the number 154 of potentially adverse seismic conditions identified during the walkdown, it can be concluded that most components and areas were found to be in good condition and that no major degraded or design non-conformances were identified.
Generally, the nature of the potentially adverse conditions is related to credible interaction effects and minor discrepancies between existing and as-designed conditions.
Several relatively minor findings are reported here. These are generally of the nature of seismic interactions.
Observations in this respect are organized on the basis of potentially adverse seismic conditions identified during both Seismic Walkdowns and Area Walk-Bys.While performing the area walk-by walkdowns some lack of thread engagement in some bolted connections was observed; however based on Davis-Besse procedure DB-MM-09266 these conditions were judged to be acceptable and required no further action.6.2.1 Seismic Walkdown Findings No potential adverse seismic conditions were identified during the Seismic Walkdowns.
All findings were resolved and judged not to present credible and/or significant seismic concerns based on sound engineering judgment and precedent design documentation.
Field notes and finding resolutions are presented in their respective SWCs included in Appendix B.* Masonry Block Walls Based on calculations presented in response to IE Bulletin 80-11, Masonry block walls identified in the vicinity of walked-down SWEL items have adequate seismic capacity.
Appendix E presents the list of block walls associated with the nearby SWEL item as well as the referenced calculations used for verification of the block wall seismic capacity.Other conditions which were noted but subsequently resolved are briefly described below.* Unprotected Fluorescent Light Tubes During the walkdowns hanging light fixtures without proper cover to prevent falling of dislodged fluorescent tubes were noted in virtually all rooms inspected.
It was subsequently verified that these fluorescent light fixtures are attached via socket & plunger type connection and not the twist-in type. It was further verified from previous SEWS from SQUG documentation 155 (Reference Calculation No. C-CSS-D1) that these fluorescent type fixtures were tested in order to assess the holding capacity of the fixtures.Thus it is concluded that fluorescent tubes do not represent a credible interaction source.Figure 6-1: Unprotected Fluorescent Light Tubes 156
- Wooden Scaffold in Battery Room 429B (Auxiliary Building)A wooden platform in the Battery Room 429B was noted during the walkdowns.
The overall stability of this platform was judged to present a potential interaction hazard for battery racks 2N and 2P. Based on plant's control process log, FENOC personnel confirmed that this scaffold is a temporary structure complying with the working period limits and will be removed after work completion.
That platform was braced, and no further action is required.Figure 6-2: Wooden Scaffold in Battery Room 429B 157 e Missing Nuts along Cooler Fan Housing One comer of the housing for the Cooler Fan 34-1 was missing all screw nuts along the vertical edge connection.
FENOC personnel were informed of the situation.
It was confirmed with maintenance that sheet metal screws are used and nuts are not required Figure 6-3: Missing Nuts along Cooler Fan Housing 158 9 Differential Displacement between Aux. Building and Containment During inspection of valve CS1530 and its attached piping, it was observed that the attached piping crosses from the Auxiliary Building to the Shield Building and that it may not have adequate flexibility to accommodate the differential displacements between these two buildings in a seismic event. The effect of differential building displacements (or Seismic Anchor Movements) on this piping was verified from Pipe Stress Calculation lB R/12 and found acceptable.
Figure 6-4: Support Conditions for Component CS1530 6.2.2 Area Walk-By Findings The following section presents potentially adverse seismic conditions and findings identified during the Area Walk-Bys.
A total of 23 potentially adverse seismic conditions were identified during the area walk-bys.
Table 6-5 provides as summary of all 23 adverse finding conditions identified.
As shown in Table 6-5, only two condition reports were issued, which would require Licensing Basis Evaluation.
Justifications for findings for which a Licensing Evaluation is not required are provided in the Area's respective AWCs provided in Appendix C.159 Table 6-5: Potentially Adverse Seismic Conditions Identified from Area Walk-Bys Licensing Reference Description of Adverse Seismic Basis for Room Bldg Floor El Condition Evaluation fon RequiredJustification

These are briefly described below.* Lateral Restraint of Fire Extinguishers Fire extinguishers were identified in various locations around the plant lacking the proper fixity to restrain against vertical movement during a seismic event. Common practice suggests the use of metal straps around the extinguisher bolted to the wall as well as to provide an adequate overall encasing.
However, based on previous calculations, the vertical peak spectral accelerations are generally less than 1.Og and it is judged that fire extinguishers will remain supported and therefore do not represent a credible seismic condition.
161 Figure 6-5: Typical Wall Mounting for Fire Extinguishers
- Unrestrained Housekeeping/Storage Boxes Various maintenance-related equipment such as ladders, storage boxes and dollies, were found to be loosely tied or without any restraint to prevent contact with surrounding items. For every case where any of these situations were encountered, the SWEs notified the associated owner about the finding, in addition to ensuring its temporary condition in the area. These conditions were judged to not pose a significant seismic interaction on both the operability and integrity of any surrounding component.
No condition report (CR) was written based on judgments made above.Figure 6-6: Unrestrained Maintenance Equipment 162
6.3 CONFIGURATION
CHECKS The SWELL 1+2 included 77 items, which were not in-line components such as valves. The process of verifying the anchorage configuration focused on 45 SWEL components arbitrarily selected prior to walkdown proceedings (this is about 62% of the SWEL items with anchorage configurations).
Appendix D provides a list of the 45 components comprising the anchorage configuration list linked with the specific references used for verification purposes; i.e., A-46/IPEEE SEWS, design drawings, etc.The anchorage configuration for each of the 45 SWEL components listed in Appendix D was verified based on A-46/IPEEE SEWS, A-46 calculation and/or Plant Design documentation.
SWEs referred to design drawings as the main reference for anchorage verification whenever it was possible to have a complete field inspection of the anchorage.
The design drawings were uploaded onto electronic tablets for quick accessibility during the walkdowns and verification of the as-installed configuration against the design drawings.
In cases where design basis drawings were not readily identifiable, SWEs referred to previous A-46/IPEEE SEWS or A-46 calculations to ensure that the configuration was assessed during the IPEEE program and no design concerns were identified.
These configuration checks verified consistency of as-installed conditions to that of the design drawings/calculations in all 45 instances.
7.0 LICENSING
BASIS EVALUATION Two condition reports (CR) were generated as a result of this walkdown.
CR-2012-10920 identifies what appeared to be a missing nut on the strap that holds a conduit to its unistrut support. Upon further inspection with assistance from a qualified electrician, the conduit strap was an approved strap that is "nutless" and relies on thread engagement through the strap itself.The "as-found" strap is a Unistrut model P1112. Direction for the types of straps used is specified in Drawing E-302A, and it does allow this model number of strap or equivalent.
The Unistrut strap was replaced, however, with a type that accepts a nut and, the subject strap was replaced on 8/3/12. The second condition report CR-2012-10973 identified a crack in a concrete masonry unit wall in the cabinet room adjacent to the control room. The crack was evaluated to be a cosmetic, non-structural crack through a mortar joint and did not invalidate the calculation for the wall. These cracks were previously identified during maintenance rule walkdown of Room 503 and dispositioned as not a structural concern.163 Several other questionable items were noted during the walkdown.
These items were researched and validated to be within their design basis. They are noted in Table 6-5, and their resolution is provided in the walkdown checklists.
8.0 IPEEE
VULNERABILITIES A summary of the IPEEE Vulnerabilities is provided in Appendix G. Toledo Edison Serial Number 2316 (August 29, 1995) is the submittal for resolution of Generic Letter 87-02,"Verification of Seismic Adequacy of Mechanical and Electrical Equipment in Operating Reactors, Unresolved Safety Issue A-46." A sampling of these vulnerabilities were verified to have been corrected during both the component and area walkdowns.
9.0 PEER REVIEW A peer review of the Submittal Report for the Near Term Task Force NTTF Recommendation 2.3 "Seismic Walkdowns" was performed using the guidance provided in Section 6 of EPRI Document 1025286, "Seismic Walkdown Guidance." Following are the peer reviewers for Davis-Besse Nuclear Power Plant: " Mohammed Alvi (Team Leader)* Tim Ridlon The peer review process included the following activities:
- Review the selection of the SSCs included on the SWEL* Review a sample of the checklists prepared for the seismic walkdowns and area walk-bys" Review the Licensing Basis Evaluations" Review the decisions for entering the potentially-adverse conditions into the Corrective Action Program (CAP)." Review the submittal report" Summarize the results of the peer review process in the submittal report 164 A. Review the Selection of the SSCs Included on the SWEL: The peer review concluded that the selection of Seismic Walkdown Equipment List (SWEL) was performed in accordance with guidance provided in Section 3 of EPRI Document 1025286"Seismic Walkdown Guidance." The peer reviewers used the checklist provided in Appendix F of this document which is enclosed.
Also, an ex-Senior Reactor Operator (SRO) from the Davis-Besse Nuclear Power Station acted as Operations representative during the selection of the SWEL.Appropriate figures 1-1, 1-2 and 1-3 of the EPRI Document 1025286 were used and the final SWEL 1 and SWEL 2 were developed.
The peer review confirmed that the following EPRI screens were used in the selection of SWEL 1: Screen 1: Seismic Category I Screen 2:.Equipment or System Screen 3: Support for the five safety functions Screen 4: Sample Considerations The station did use the existing documentation that resulted from IPEEE and USI A-46 programs in identifying the components.
A matrix/spreadsheet was prepared that identifies all the selected components on SWEL 1 and SWEL 2. It was confirmed that these two lists did include a variety of type of systems, major new and replacement equipment, a variety of equipment types, a variety of environments in which the components are located, and the equipment enhanced due to vulnerabilities identified during the IPEEE program.It was confirmed that the size of the sample was sufficiently large to include a variety of items that collectively included variations within all the attributes stated in the paragraph above.SWEL 1 for the Davis-Besse Nuclear Power Station included 109 components.
The peer review also confirmed that the station used the following EPRI screens in the development of SWEL 2: Screen 1: Seismic Category I Screen 2: Equipment or System 165 Screen 3: Sample Considerations Screen 4: Rapid Drain-Down Similar process was used in the development of SWEL 2 as for SWEL 1. SWEL 2 for the Davis Besse Nuclear Power Plant included 7 components.

Also, an ex SRO from the Davis-Besse Nuclear Power Station acted as Operations representative during the selection of the SWEL.B. Review of a sample of the checklists prepared for the Seismic Walkdowns and Area Walk-Bys EPRI Document 1025286 on Seismic Walkdown Guidance required a review of the sample of the checklists prepared for the seismic walkdowns and area walk-bys by the peer reviewers.
The sample review should be between 10 percent and 25 percent. However, the lead peer reviewer reviewed 100 percent of the checklists to ensure that all the work has been performed in compliance with the requirements.
The following comments were identified during the early stages of peer review and were successfully resolved: A. In some cases, statements regarding minor anomalies (not resulting in a condition report)identified during the walkdowns did not have adequate justification for acceptability in meeting the design basis requirements.
B. In some cases, missing documentation/references/checkmarks.
C. In some cases, minor anomaly stated but no justification provided.D. Editorial and typographical errors E. In some cases, weakness in documenting 50 percent anchor check documentation.
The above comments were discussed with the Seismic Walkdown Engineers (SWEs) and were successfully resolved in the final signed version of the checklists.
In addition, the lead peer reviewer also participated in the walkdowns and observed the work performed by the SWEs during the inspections.
It was noted that the walkdown/inspection was intrusive, walkdown team members discussed, issues amongst themselves, and used engineering 172 judgment in making decisions about whether there is any concern that should be noted. In some cases, the lead peer reviewer requested additional photographs.
The lead peer reviewer interviewed the SWEs to verify they followed the guidance in Section 4 of the EPRI Document "Seismic Walkdowns and Area Walk-Bys." The interview concluded that they did follow the said guidance and were knowledgeable about the walkdown requirements.
Questions asked were successfully answered during the interview as well as during the walkdowns.
Four SWEs participated in the walkdowns.
See their resumes for experience and background training.The lead peer reviewer also observed the configuration check in some cases and assured that the installed configuration did match the plant drawings/documentation.
He also reviewed several masonry wall calculations to make sure that they were seismically designed according to the design basis requirements.
==
Conclusion:==
The seismic walkdown and area walk-by checklists were completed in accordance with the guidance of EPRI Document 1025286 and no major issues were identified.
All comments were successfully resolved.
Adequate documentation has been provided in the checklists for the components that were walked down.173 C. Review of the Licensing Basis Evaluations The walkdowns identified several minor anomalies, however two of them resulted in generating condition reports as follows: A. CR-2012-10920:
RC3703 has a 1 inch conduit coming in the top that is missing a nut on the bracket that attaches the conduit to the unistrut.B. CR-2012-10973:
Crack in the concrete masonry wall near the control room.The station performed the licensing basis evaluations for the above two CRs which are documented in Section 7 of this report.Conclusion:
The licensing basis evaluations as documented in Section 7 of this report were reviewed.
In summary, they have been adequately evaluated against the design basis requirements, the corrective actions taken are adequate, and no further action is required.D. Review of the decisions for entering the potentially adverse conditions into the CAP Process Section 6 of this report discusses the summary of walkdown results. Specifically, Section 6.2.1 discusses seismic walkdown findings associated with SWEL 1, and Section 6.2.2 discusses seismic walkdown findings associated with area walk-bys.
The results were documented in Table 6-5 in accordance with EPRI Document 1025286 and titled as "Potentially Adverse Seismic Conditions Identified from Area Walk-Bys." No potential adverse seismic conditions were identified in association with SWEL 1 list of components.
All findings with SWEL 1 were judged to be acceptable.
Adequate justification is documented in the checklists that provide the basis as why these issues have insignificant impact on the design of the components and that the components are still capable of performing their intended design function while still meeting the design basis requirements.
Table 6-5 identified 23 potentially adverse seismic conditions.
Two of these conditions were entered in the corrective action program (CAP). Again, adequate justification is documented in the checklists that provide the basis as why these 21 issues have insignificant impact on the 174 design of the surrounding components and that the components are still capable of performing their intended design function while still meeting the design basis requirements.
A review of the basis documented in the checklists for not entering these issues in the CAP concluded the decisions taken were appropriate.
Section 9.C above discusses the nature of anomalies documented in two condition reports.Conclusion:
The peer reviewers agree with the decisions taken for entering or not entering the identified potentially seismic walkdown findings in the corrective action program.E. Review of the Submittal Report
Conclusion:
A team of reviewers performed a review of this submittal report. Comments were successfully resolved.
Refer to the signature page for a listing of reviewers.
F. Summary of results of peer review process
Conclusion:
The selected samples (SWEL 1 and SWEL 2) adequately represent and meet the criteria set forth in the selection process outlined in EPRI Document 1025286. An Operations person also participated in the sample selection process and the walkdowns.
The lead peer reviewer participated in the walkdowns, observed the conduct of walkdown team members, and discussed issues while remaining independent.
The Seismic Walkdown Checklists (SWCs) and Area Walk-by Checklists (AWCs) were adequately prepared and the basis for justifications appropriatly documented.
The decisions taken to enter the findings or not to enter the findings into the CAP were appropriate.
Also, the resolution of the issues (License Basis Evaluations) identified in the condition reports was adequate.175
