Dear Mr. Eury:
SUBJECT:
INSPECTION REPORT 50-261/89-200 - MOTOR OPERATED VALVE INSPECTION
H. B. ROBINSON STEAM ELECTRIC PLANT, UNIT NO. 2
This letter conveys the results and conclusions of the motor-operated valve
inspection conducted by the Nuclear Regulatory Comni.ssion (NRC)
Office of
Nuclear Reactor Regulation at the H. B. Robinson Steam Electric Plant, Unit
No. 2 during the period of May 22-26, 1989. The inspection team consisted of
regional and headquarters NRC personnel along with one consultant.
The purpose of this inspection was to determine whether the motor-operated valves
in the H. B. Robinson Steam Electric Plant were designed and installed, and are
being maintained, in a manner that would ensure their capability to perform
their intended safety-related functions. During this inspection, technical
reviews were conducted of your engineering, maintenance, training, and operations
as pertinent to our assessment of the motor-operated valves.
As a result of this inspection, two potential enforcement findings and two open
items requiring timely action were identified and were discussed during the exit
meeting on May 26, 1989. The first potential enforcement finding concerned the
inadequate documentation and evaluation of equipment failures. Three examples
of this finding were noted during the inspection, including the failure to docu
ment and evaluate a thermal overload device that was found in a tripped condition
during the last three unit startups.
The second potential enforcement finding concerned four examples of inadequate,
improperly engineered design modifications to the plant. The examples noted
included a case in which the licensee replaced valves with those of a different
type without performing the calculations necessary to ensure adequate motor
actuator sizing.
Subsequently, as a result of IE Bulletin No. 85-03, you
performed these calculations and determined that several safety-related
motor actuators installed in the plant were undersized.
Although your
evaluation supports continuing operation until the next refueling outage, we
understand that you will be replacing the undersized motor actuators.

The two open items identified during the inspection involved your lack of
bases for motor actuator torque switch settings and for thermal overload sizing.
We are particularly concerned that, although the torque switch setting problem
was apparently known well before this inspection was conducted, no preliminary
safety assessment had been performed to ensure the operability of your safety
related motor-operated valves. This fact is particularly troublesome in light
of your response to IE Bulletin No. 85-03, which identified 6 of 11 motor
actuators as being undersized and requiring replacement. On June 6, 1989, a
conference call was held between the NRC staff and Carolina Power & Light (CP&L)
site personnel. During this call, CP&L committed to performing reviews of the
two identified generic concerns within a 90-day period, as discussed in Section 1.3
of the enclosed report.
In addition to the weaknesses noted, the team also noted several positive aspects
of your motor-operated valve program. Specifically, the training of maintenance
personnel, the quality of applicable maintenance procedures, and your review of
motor operated valve generic communication were identified as strengths by the
inspection team.
Any enforcement actions resulting from this inspection will be identified by
Region II in separate correspondence.
In accordance with 10 CFR 2.790(a), a copy of this letter and the enclosure will
be placed in the NRC Public Document Room.
O You are requested to respond to this Office within 60 days regarding the findings
and weaknesses identified in the enclosed inspection report. Should you have any
questions concerning this inspection, please contact the NRR Project Manager,
Ronnie Lo, or Jeffrey Jacobson of the NRC staff. Messrs. Lo and Jacobson can be
reached at (301) 492-1463 and (301) 492-0996, respectively.
