SUBJECT:
NINE MILE POINT NUCLEAR STATION, UNITS 1 AND 2 - NRC COMPONENT DESIGN BASES INSPECTION REPORT 05000220/2014007 AND 05000410/2014007
Dear Mr. Costanzo:
On October 10, 2014, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed an inspection at the Nine Mile Point Nuclear Power Station. The enclosed inspection report documents the inspection results, which were discussed on October 10, 2014, with you and other members of your staff.
The inspection examined activities conducted under your license as they relate to safety and compliance with the Commissions rules and regulations and with the conditions of your license.
In conducting the inspection, the team examined the adequacy of selected components and operator actions to mitigate postulated transients, initiating events, and design basis accidents.
The inspection involved field walkdowns, examination of selected procedures, calculations and records, and interviews with station personnel.
This report documents three NRC-identified findings which were of very low safety significance (Green). All of these findings were determined to involve violations of NRC requirements.
However, because of the very low safety significance of the violations and because they were entered into your corrective action program, the NRC is treating these violations as non-cited violations (NCV) consistent with Section 2.3.2.a of the NRC Enforcement Policy. If you contest any of the NCVs in this report, you should provide a response within 30 days of the date of this inspection report, with the basis for your denial, to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, ATTN: Document Control Desk, Washington, D.C. 20555-0001, with copies to the Regional Administrator, Region I; the Director, Office of Enforcement, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, D.C. 20555-0001; and the NRC Resident Inspector at Nine Mile Point Nuclear Station. In addition, if you disagree with the cross-cutting aspect assigned to any finding in this report, you should provide a response within 30 days of the date of this inspection report, with the basis for your disagreement, to the Regional Administrator, Region I; and the NRC Resident Inspector at Nine Mile Point Nuclear Station. In accordance with Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) 2.390, Public Inspections, Exemptions, Requests for Withholding, of the NRCs Rules of Practice, a copy of this letter, its enclosure, and your response (if any) will be available electronically for the public inspection in the NRC Public Docket Room or from the Publicly Available Records component of NRCs document system (ADAMS). ADAMS is accessible from the NRC Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html (the Public Electronic Reading Room).
Sincerely,

SUMMARY OF FINDINGS
IR 05000220/2014007 and 05000410/2014007; 9/8/2014 - 10/10/2013; Exelon Generation
Company, LLC; Nine Mile Point Nuclear Power Station, Units 1 and 2; Component Design Bases Inspection.
The report covers the Component Design Bases Inspection conducted by a team of six NRC region based inspectors and three NRC contractors. The team identified three findings of very low risk significance (Green) and classified each as non-cited violations (NCV). The significance of most findings is indicated by their color (Green, White, Yellow, Red) using Inspection Manual Chapter (IMC) 0609, Significance Determination Process (SDP), dated June 2, 2011. Cross-cutting aspects are determined using IMC 0310, Aspects Within Cross-Cutting Areas, dated January 1, 2014. All violations of NRC requirements are dispositioned in accordance with the NRCs Enforcement Policy dated July 9, 2013. The NRCs program for overseeing the safe operation of commercial nuclear power reactors is described in NUREG-1649, Reactor Oversight Process, Revision 5.
Cornerstone: Mitigating Systems
- Green.
The team identified a Green NCV of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion III, Design Control, for failure to verify and assure, in Nine Mile Point Unit 1 design basis calculations, that adequate voltages would be available to Class 1E accident initiated motors, motor-operated valves (MOV), and control circuits powered from the 4160 V, 600 V, and 120 V distribution systems during a design basis loss-of-coolant accident (LOCA) with offsite power available. Specifically, Exelon did not identify and evaluate the minimum transient voltage for the design basis LOCA event regarding accident initiated motors, MOVs, and control circuits, and did not evaluate the capability of the safety-related main steam isolation valve motor brakes. Immediate corrective action included preliminary calculations using the design grid voltage sag, which determined the Reserve Service Station Transformer load tap changers, motor control center (MCC) control circuits, MOVs, and the main steam isolation valve motor brakes would have adequate voltage to remain capable of performing their safety functions. Exelon entered the issues into their corrective action program as issue reports 2386719, 2386824, 2387652, 2387888, 2392928, and 2393299.
This finding was more than minor because it was associated with the design control attribute of the Mitigating Systems Cornerstone and adversely affected the cornerstone objective of ensuring the availability, reliability, and capability of systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences. The team determined the finding was of very low safety significance because it was a design deficiency confirmed not to result in a loss of safety-related MCC MOV operability or functionality. This team assigned a cross-cutting aspect associated with this finding because the long-standing performance deficiency continued during and after Exelons review of related internal and external operating experience from 2012 to 2014. The team determined this finding had a cross-cutting aspect in the area of Problem Identification and Resolution, Operating Experience (Aspect P.5),
because Nine Mile Point Unit 1 staff did not effectively collect, evaluate, and implement relevant internal and external operating experience in a timely manner.
(Section 1R21.2.1.1.b.1)ii
- Green.
The team identified a Green NCV of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion III,
Design Control, for failure to verify the adequacy of the Nine Mile Point Unit 1 electrical design during a design basis loss of coolant accident (LOCA) event with sustained degraded grid voltage (DGV). Specifically, Exelon did not verify Class 1E loads would not be damaged or become unavailable for a design basis LOCA with a degraded voltage condition between the degraded voltage setpoint and the loss of voltage setting for the degraded voltage time delay of 21 +/- 3 seconds and subsequent reconnection to the emergency diesel generator. Immediate corrective actions included preliminary evaluation of the safety-related MOV that operate during the first 21 seconds of the accident, which determined there was reasonable assurance the MOV protective devices would not actuate during sustained DGV concurrent with a design basis LOCA. Exelon entered this issue into their corrective action program as issue reports 2387818 and 2392780.
The finding was more than minor because it was associated with the design control attribute of the Mitigating Systems Cornerstone and adversely affected the cornerstone objective of ensuring the availability, reliability, and capability of systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences. The team determined the finding was of very low safety significance (Green) because it was a design deficiency confirmed not to result in loss of operability or functionality. The team determined this issue had a cross-cutting aspect in the area of Problem Identification and Resolution, Operating Experience (Aspect P.5),
because the organization did not effectively collect, evaluate, and implement relevant internal and external operating experience in a timely manner. Despite NRC Regulatory Issue Summary 2012-11, Adequacy of Station Electric Distribution System Voltages, and NRC Component Design Bases Inspections identifying similar performance deficiencies at other Exelon facilities during the last 3 years, the Nine Mile Point staff did not effectively evaluate and resolve this operating experience. (Section 1R21.2.1.1)
- Green.
The team identified a Green NCV of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion III,
Design Control, because Exelon did not verify the design adequacy of Nine Mile Point Unit electrical power to safety-related MOVs to support their design function during design basis events. Specifically, Exelon did not verify that the thermal/magnetic breaker (TMB)protection on core spray (CS) loop injection MOV circuits 1V-40-01, 1V-40-09, 1V-40-10, and 1V-40-11 were properly sized to support the design function of repetitive MOV operation (throttling) in response to a design basis loss-of-coolant accident (LOCA). Routine throttling operation of the CS injection valves could potentially cause a TMB trip and loss of power to the MOV leading to the valve failing in an indeterminate position and not being capable of performing its design function to control reactor pressure vessel (RPV) level. Immediate corrective action included guidance to control room operators to close three of the MOVs when required to maintain RPV level and only use MOV 1V-40-09 which had a TMB tripping design of 17 seconds Exelon entered this issue into its corrective action program as issue report 2393386.
iii
The finding was more than minor because it is associated with the design control attribute of the Mitigating Systems Cornerstone and adversely affected the cornerstone objective of ensuring the availability, reliability, and capability of systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences. The team determined that the finding was of very low safety significance (Green) because it was a design deficiency confirmed not to result in loss of operability or functionality. The team determined that the central cause of this finding was not reflective of current performance or current plant modification processes. Therefore no cross-cutting aspect was assigned. (Section 1R21.2.1.2)
Licensee-Identified Violation The team reviewed a violation of very low safety significance that was identified by Exelon.
Corrective actions taken or planned by Exelon have been entered into Exelons corrective action program. This violation and corrective action tracking number are listed in Section 4OA7 of this report.

1R21 Component Design Bases Inspection (IP 71111.21)
.1 Inspection Sample Selection Process
The team selected risk significant components for review using information contained in the Nine Mile Point Nuclear Power Station Probabilistic Risk Assessment (PRA) and the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commissions (NRC) Standardized Plant Analysis Risk (SPAR)model. Additionally, the Nine Mile Point (NMP) Significance Determination Process (SDP) analysis was referenced in the selection of potential components for review. In general, the selection process focused on components that had a Risk Achievement Worth (RAW) factor greater than 1.3 or a Risk Reduction Worth (RRW) factor greater than 1.005. The team also selected components based on previously identified industry operating experience issues and the component contribution to the large early release frequency (LERF) was also considered. The components selected were located within both safety-related and non-safety related systems, and included a variety of components such as pumps, breakers, heat exchangers, electrical buses, transformers, and valves.
The team initially compiled a list of components based on the risk factors previously mentioned. Additionally, the team reviewed the previous component design bases inspection reports (05000220/2006008, 2008008, 2011007 and 05000410/2006008, 2008008, 2011007) to minimize the selection of those components previously inspected.
The team then performed a margin assessment to narrow the focus of the inspection to 24 components and three industry operating experience (OE) samples. One component was selected because it was a containment-related structure, system, and components (SSC) and was considered for LERF implications. The teams evaluation of possible low design margin included consideration of original design issues, margin reductions due to modifications, or margin reductions identified as a result of material condition/equipment reliability issues. The assessment also included items such as failed performance test results, corrective action history, repeated maintenance, maintenance rule (a)1 status, operability reviews for degraded conditions, NRC resident inspector insights, system health reports, and industry operating experience. Finally, consideration was given to the uniqueness and complexity of the design and the available defense-in-depth margins.
The inspection performed by the team was conducted in accordance with NRC Inspection Procedure 71111.21. This inspection effort included: walkdowns of selected components; interviews with operators, system engineers and design engineers; and reviews of associated design documents and calculations to assess the adequacy of the components to meet design and licensing basis requirements. A summary of the reviews performed for each component, operating experience sample, and the specific inspection findings identified are discussed in the subsequent sections of this report.
Documents reviewed for this inspection are listed in the Attachment.
.2 Results of Detailed Reviews
.2.1 Results of Detailed Component Reviews (24 samples)
.2.1.1 Unit 1 4160V Power Board 103
a. Inspection Scope
The team reviewed selected calculations for electrical distribution system load flow/voltage drop, degraded voltage protection, short-circuit, and electrical protection and coordination. The adequacy and appropriateness of design assumptions and calculations were reviewed to verify that bus capacity was not exceeded and bus voltages remained above minimum acceptable values under design basis conditions.
The switchgears protective device settings and breaker ratings were reviewed to ensure that selective coordination was adequate for protection of connected equipment during worst-case short-circuit conditions. Automatic and manual transfer schemes between alternate offsite sources and the emergency diesel generator were reviewed. Voltage protection schemes were reviewed for degraded and loss of voltage relaying. The team reviewed degraded and loss of voltage relays to verify that they were set in accordance with calculations, and that associated calibration procedures were consistent with calculation assumptions, associated time delays, and setpoint accuracy calculations. In addition, the latest surveillance was reviewed.
The team also evaluated selected portions of the licensee response to NRC Generic Letter (GL) 2006-02, Grid Reliability and the Impact on Plant Risk and the Operability of Offsite Power, dated February 1, 2006. The stations interface and coordination with the transmission system operator for plant voltage requirements and notification set points were reviewed. The team reviewed the adequacy of instrumentation/alarms available. To ensure that breakers were maintained in accordance with industry and vendor recommendations, the team reviewed the preventive maintenance templates.
System health reports, component maintenance history, and licensee corrective action program reports were reviewed to verify deficiencies and potential degradation mechanisms were appropriately identified and resolved. The team performed a visual non-intrusive inspection of accessible portions of the safety-related 4160 volt (V)switchgear to assess the installation configuration, material condition, and potential vulnerability to hazards. Finally, the team reviewed corrective action documents and system health reports to determine if there were any adverse operating trends and to assess Exelon's ability to evaluate and correct problems.
b. Findings
.1 Deficient Evaluation of Minimum Voltages to Nine Mile Point Unit 1 Class 1E
Accident Initiated Motors and Motor Operated Valves during a Design Basis Loss of Coolant Accident with Offsite Power Available
Introduction.
The team identified a Green non-cited violation (NCV) of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion III, Design Control for failure to verify and assure, in design basis calculations, that adequate voltages would be available to Class 1E accident initiated motors, motor operated valves (MOV),and control circuits powered from the 4160 V, 600 V, and 120 V distribution systems during a design basis loss-of-coolant accident (LOCA) with offsite power available for Unit 1. Specifically, Exelon did not identify and evaluate the minimum transient voltage for the design basis LOCA event regarding accident initiated motors, MOVs, and control circuits, and did not evaluate the capability of the safety-related main steam isolation valve motor brakes.
Description.
The team identified four examples of non-conservative inputs and methodologies in electrical calculations that contributed to the failure of the licensee to verify and assure adequate voltages to Class 1E accident initiated motors, MOVs, and control circuits powered from the 4160 V, 600 V, and 120 V distribution systems during a design basis accident (DBA) with offsite power available. The following examples contributed to the identified performance deficiency:
- Electrical calculation NIMO-ELMS-AC01, U1 Auxiliary System Performance, Revision 1, evaluated starting 4160 V emergency system loads during a design basis event at steady-state voltages on the 4160 V safety-related buses associated with a nominal 115 kV grid voltage. However, the Transmission Operator plant/grid interface study NER-1E-015, NMP 1&2 Offsite Grid Voltage Regulation Study, Revision 7, identified that the 115 kV grid will sag 3.5 percent as a result of the unit trip during a DBA. Exelon incorrectly used 115 kV as the grid voltage instead of incorporating the 3.5 percent grid voltage sag into calculation NIMO-ELMS-AC01.
Consequently, Exelon did not identify and evaluate the minimum transient voltages to the Class 1E accident initiated motors and MOVs on the safety-related buses and motor control centers (MCC) during the initiation of a DBA with the subsequent unit scram and resulting sag of the 115 kV grid. For MOVs, the reduced voltage would reduce the available motor actuator output torque which would directly impact the mechanical torque and thrust calculations. In response to the teams concern, Exelon performed preliminary voltage drop calculations, taking into account the grid voltage sag. Based on these calculations Exelon determined that the most critical MOVs would have adequate voltage during the voltage transients, but would have reduced margins. Exelon entered the issue, including an extent-of-condition evaluation of voltage adequacy for additional safety-related loads, into the corrective action program as issue reports (IR) 2387652, 2386824, 2392928, and 2386719.
- Electrical calculations used steady-state voltages at the MCCs during a design basis event. As a result, Exelon did not evaluate the worst-case control circuit voltage drop for the control circuits for 600V motors and MOVs that were required to change state at the onset of a DBA. The use of steady-state voltages instead of transient voltages would predict higher control circuit voltages than would actually exist; therefore, the control circuit contactors may not have adequate voltage to energize until after the upstream 4160 V starting motors have accelerated. Exelon also did not evaluate the potential time delay impact for affected MOVs on the Updated Final Safety Analysis Report (UFSAR) accident analyses. To address the teams concern, Exelon performed preliminary evaluations for MCC 171B and concluded that there was sufficient voltage to ensure operation during the upstream motor start scenarios.
The issue was entered into the corrective action program as IR 2386824.
- Electrical calculation NIMO-ELMS-AC01 did not evaluate the capability of main steam isolation valves IV-01-01 and IV-01-02 BRAKE-01-01 and BRAKE-01-02 motor brakes to operate and release to perform their safety function for a design basis event (DBE) during worst-case motor starting transient voltages. The motor brake vendor requires a minimum voltage of 90 percent (495 V). The Environmental Qualification Document Package for the motor brakes, 1EQP-MOV005 and report GLS-NMPCDNG-9322J-1, documented a one-time lower voltage test to verify the capability of the motor/motor brake system to close the valve at a low voltage during a DBA. The analysis supports operation of the motor brake at a voltage of 440 V (80 percent). The team determined that during a DBA with resulting transient voltages lower than steady-state conditions, the motor brake may have voltages as low as 429V (78 percent) and fail to operate and release during stroking of IV-01-01 and IV-01-02. Exelons preliminary analysis, in response to the teams concern, indicated the MOV actuators had sufficient margin to close the valves with the motor brake still engaged. Exelon entered this issue into the corrective action program as IR 2387888.
- Electrical calculations did not use the worst case transient voltage to evaluate load tap changer (LTC) performance during a DBA. Consequently, Exelon did not ensure the automatic LTC controls and motor for the 101N and 101S Reserve Service Station Transformers, whose operation is needed to restore vital bus voltage during DBEs before the degraded voltage relays time out in 21 seconds, had adequate voltage to operate during DBAs. The team discussed this concern with Exelon, who performed a preliminary voltage drop calculation to demonstrate that sufficient voltage was available during the worst-case grid voltage levels. Exelon entered this issue into its corrective action program as IR 2393299.
Analysis.
The team determined that the failure to verify and assure adequate voltages would be available to Unit 1 Class 1E accident initiated motors, MOVs, and control circuits powered from the 4160 V, 600 V, and 120 V distribution systems during a design basis LOCA with offsite power available was a performance deficiency. This finding was more than minor because it was associated with the design control attribute of the Mitigating Systems Cornerstone and adversely affected the cornerstone objective of ensuring the availability, reliability, and capability of systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences. The team evaluated the finding in accordance with Inspection Manual Chapter (IMC) 0609, Significance Determination Process, Attachment 0609.04, Initial Screening and Characterization of Findings, dated June 19, 2012, for the Mitigating Systems Cornerstone, and IMC 0609, Appendix A, The SDP for Findings At-Power, dated June 19, 2012. The team determined that the finding was of very low safety significance (Green) because it was a design deficiency confirmed not to result in loss of operability or functionality. Specifically, Exelons interim calculations and operability determinations demonstrated adequate voltage during a design basis LOCA with offsite power available, such that the Class 1E accident initiated motors and MOVs would perform their safety functions. The team reviewed Exelons interim calculations and found them to be reasonable.
The team determined that this issue had a cross-cutting aspect in the area of Problem Identification and Resolution, OE, because the organization did not effectively collect, evaluate, and implement relevant internal and external OE in a timely manner. Although NRC Component Design Bases Inspections identified similar performance deficiencies at other Exelon facilities during the last 3 years, NMP staff did not effectively evaluate and resolve this internal OE. Additionally, Exelons evaluation of NRC Regulatory Issue Summary 2012-11, Adequacy of Station Electric Distribution System Voltages, Revision 1, did not result in implementing timely corrective measures. (IMC 0310, Aspect P.5)
Enforcement.
10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion III, Design Control, requires, in part, that design control measures shall provide for verifying or checking the adequacy of design, such as by the performance of design reviews, by the use of alternate or simplified calculational methods, or by the performance of a suitable testing program. In addition, NMP Unit 1 UFSAR, Section 1A, Principal Design Criteria, paragraph 7.0 states that the electrical power system has sufficient normal and standby auxiliary sources of electrical power to assure a capability for prompt shutdown and continued maintenance of the Station in a safe condition under all credible circumstances.
Contrary to the above, prior to September 29, 2014, Exelon did not establish and implement adequate design control measures to verify or check the adequacy of the electrical power system design. Specifically, Exelon did not verify adequate voltages were available to NMP Unit 1 101N and 101S Reserve Service Station Transformer LTCs and to Class 1E accident initiated motors, MOVs, and control circuits powered from the 4160 V, 600 V, and 120 V distribution system during a design basis LOCA with offsite power available. Immediate corrective actions included preliminary evaluation of voltage to LTCs, motors, MOVs, and control circuits during a design basis LOCA with a unit scram to verify safety-related components remained operable. This violation is being treated as an NCV, consistent with Section 2.3.2 of the NRC Enforcement Policy.
The violation was entered into the Exelon corrective action program as IRs 2386719, 2386824, 2387652, 2387888, 2392928, and 2393299.

.2 Deficient Evaluation of Nine Mile Point Unit 1 Electrical Protection Design to
Ensure Survivability of Safety-Related Loads during Sustained Degraded Voltage
Introduction.
The team identified a Green NCV of Title 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion III, Design Control for failure to verify the adequacy of electrical design during a design basis LOCA event with sustained degraded grid voltage (DGV) for Unit 1.
Specifically, Exelon did not verify that NMP Unit 1 Class 1E loads would not be damaged or become unavailable for a design basis LOCA with a degraded voltage condition between the degraded voltage setpoint and the loss of voltage setting for the degraded voltage time delay of 21 +/- 3 seconds and subsequent reconnection to the emergency diesel generator (EDG).
Description.
NRC letter dated June 2, 1977, Statement of Staff Positions Relative to Emergency Power Systems for Operating Reactors, Position 1(c)(3) states that the allowable time duration of a degraded voltage condition at all distribution levels shall not result in failure of safety systems or components. Furthermore, NRC Regulatory Issue Summary (RIS) 2011-12, Adequacy of Station Electric Distribution System Voltages, Revision 1, clarifies that the DGV time delay chosen should be optimized to ensure that permanently connected Class 1E loads are not damaged under sustained degraded voltage conditions (such as a sustained degraded voltage below the degraded voltage relay voltage setting(s) for the duration of the time delay setting).
Electrical components typically have protective devices (such as a thermal overload (TOL) heater, thermal/magnetic breaker (TMB), fuses, or breakers with protective relays)which monitor the current drawn by the component. If, for example, voltage degrades sufficiently to stall or prevent the motor from starting, the protective device trips open the electrical circuit to prevent motor damage. The team reviewed electrical protection device specifications for a sample of 10 MOVs which receive automatic actuation signals in response to a design basis LOCA. The team noted that thermal overload heaters were typically set to trip after 10 seconds for stall or locked rotor current conditions.
Additionally, the team determined several of the breaker thermal/magnetic trip device specifications indicated they could potentially trip prior to the 21 second DGV time delay (TD) relay actuation. If the protected device actuated before the end of the 21 second DGV TD, the associated electrical breaker would trip open and the component would not be capable of automatically actuating in response to the LOCA.
The team noted that the NMP Unit 1 electrical design calculations had not evaluated the protective device actuation and therefore did not assure and verify that connected Class 1E loads would not be damaged or become unavailable for a design basis LOCA and a sustained degraded voltage condition between the degraded voltage setpoint (3705 V) and the loss of voltage setting (3200 V) for the degraded voltage time delay of 21 +/- 3 seconds and subsequent reconnection to the EDG. Specifically, safety-related running components or safety-related loads which required starting during an accident had not been verified to ensure their protective devices would not trip, prior to and after the transfer to the EDG source for a sustained degraded grid condition coincident with a design basis LOCA. Control power circuits also had not been evaluated for the Class 1E accident-initiated motors to ensure that their control circuit fuses would not blow if the starter did not have sufficient voltage to pick-up during the degraded voltage time delay period.
Upon identification by the team, Exelon performed a preliminary evaluation of the NMP Unit 1 critical MOVs that operate during the first 21 seconds of the accident and concluded there was reasonable assurance that protective devices would not actuate during sustained degraded voltage concurrent with a design basis LOCA. Exelon entered this issue into its corrective action program as IRs 2387818 and 2392780. The team reviewed Exelons preliminary evaluation and found the results to be reasonable.
Analysis.
The team determined that the failure to verify electrical design adequacy to ensure that the allowable duration of a degraded voltage condition at all distribution levels would not result in failure of safety systems or components for Unit 1 was a performance deficiency. This performance deficiency was more than minor because it was similar to NRC IMC 0612, Appendix E, Examples of Minor Issues, Example 3.j, in that the design analysis deficiency resulted in a condition where the team had reasonable doubt regarding the operability of safety-related systems or components during a LOCA concurrent with a sustained degraded voltage condition. The finding was associated with the Mitigating Systems Cornerstone attribute of design control and affected the cornerstone objective of ensuring the availability, reliability, and capability of systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences. The team evaluated the finding in accordance with IMC 0609, Significance Determination Process, Attachment 0609.04, Initial Screening and Characterization of Findings, dated June 19, 2012, for the Mitigating Systems Cornerstone, and IMC 0609, Appendix A, The SDP for Findings At-Power, dated June 19, 2012. The team determined that the finding was of very low safety significance (Green) because it was a design deficiency confirmed not to result in loss of operability or functionality.
The team determined that this issue had a cross-cutting aspect in the area of Problem Identification and Resolution, OE, because the organization did not effectively collect, evaluate, and implement relevant internal and external OE in a timely manner. Although NRC Component Design Bases Inspections identified a similar performance deficiency at other Exelon facilities during the last 3 years, NMP staff did not effectively evaluate and resolve this internal OE. Additionally, Exelons evaluation of NRC RIS 2012-11 did not result in implementing timely corrective measures. (IMC 0310, Aspect P.5).
Enforcement.
10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion III, Design Control, requires in part, that design control measures provide for verifying or checking the adequacy of design, such as by the performance of design reviews, by the use of alternate or simplified calculational methods, or by the performance of a suitable testing program. In addition, NRC letter dated June 2, 1977, required all licensees to verify the existing plant design or propose modifications to ensure onsite emergency power systems met certain criteria including Staff Position 1. Staff Position 1(c)(3) stated the DGV protection time delay shall be established such that the allowable time duration of a DGV condition at all distribution system levels shall not result in failure of safety systems or components.
NMP-1 letter to the NRC dated July 14, 1977, responsed to NRC Staff Position 1 and confirmed that the DGV time delays were chosen so that the voltage requirements for safety-related loads were maintained and that failures of safety-related systems would not occur.
Contrary to the above, prior to September 28, 2014, Exelon had not implemented design control measures to verify that the Unit 1 connected Class 1E loads would not be damaged or become unavailable for a design basis LOCA coincident with a sustained degraded voltage condition between the degraded voltage setpoint and the loss of voltage setting for the degraded voltage time delay of 21 +/- 3 seconds and subsequent reconnection to the EDG.

b. Findings
Inadequate Protective Device Sizing for Unit 1 Safety-Related Core Spray Motor-Operated Injection Valves
Introduction.
The team identified a Green NCV of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion III, Design Control, because Exelon did not verify the design adequacy of electrical power to safety-related MOVs to support their design function during design basis events. Specifically, Exelon did not verify that Unit 1 TMB protection on core spray (CS) loop injection MOV circuits 1V-40-01, 1V-40-09, 1V-40-10, and 1V-40-11 were properly sized to support the design function of repetitive MOV operation (throttling to control reactor pressure vessel (RPV) level) in response to a design basis LOCA.
Description.
Core spray injection valves 1V-40-01, 1V-40-09, 1V-40-10, and 1V-40-11 are normally closed. The valves have a safety function to provide containment isolation in the closed position. They also have a safety function to open to allow CS injection following a LOCA and subsequent RPV depressurization. In 1995, Boiling Water Reactor Owners Group (BWROG) Emergency Procedure Guidelines (EPG) were revised to direct throttling the CS injection valves to slowly restore reactor vessel level during RPV level recovery for a LOCA event. This reduced the need to repeatedly start and stop CS pumps to maintain RPV level, thereby improving CS pump reliability and availability.
Each CS injection MOV motor has two diverse protective devices (a TOL and a TMB)which monitor the adequacy of power to the motor. If power degrades or excessive current which could damage the motor is sensed, the protective devices are designed to trip (or open) the electrical circuit. The original Electrical Overload Heater Sizing Calculations for the four CS injection MOVs sized the TOLs and TMB protection based on one duty cycle, which is an opening of the valve followed by a close stroke. The TOLs and TMBs were not sized to withstand multiple motor starting current surges and the associated motor heatup.
In 1995, modification N1-90-041, Installation of Individual Core Spray System Minimum Flow Recirculation Lines and Remote Valve Throttling Capability, Revision 1, was implemented to enable the CS injection valves to be used as throttle valves for maintaining RPV level consistent with the BWROG EPGs. The licensee recognized that frequent operation of the CS injection valves to throttle flow could cause the MOV TOL protective device to actuate, causing interruption of power to the MOV. The modification installed connections to allow operators to install jumpers and manually bypass the TOL relay device prior to operating the MOV as a throttle valve.
The modification specified that operational limitations (if identified) should be placed in the appropriate operating or emergency operating procedures. Emergency operating procedure N1-EOP-1, NMP1 Emergency Operating Procedure (EOP) Support Procedure, Attachment 4, step 3.4.4 states, Throttle Core Spray Inboard IVs (40-01, 40-09, 40-10, and 40-11) as necessary to maintain RPV level as directed by the EOP Director. The team determined that the number and frequency of valve operations to establish and maintain level is not defined in the procedure. Control room staff informed the team that the number of valve operations to establish and maintain level could vary between 5-10 throttles in a small period of time. The team identified that the TMB protection for MOVs 1V-40-10, -40-01, and -40-11 can trip in 2.5, 4, and 6 seconds respectively and in 17 seconds for MOV 1V-40-09, independent of the TOL protection relay being bypassed. Consequently, routine throttling operation of the CS injection valves may cause a TMB trip and loss of power to the MOV. This would cause the MOV to fail in an indeterminate position and not be capable of performing its design function to control RPV level.
The team determined that modification N1-90-041 had not considered that the TMB protection was the limiting factor for potential tripping. The team determined modification N1-90-041 was deficient in that consideration of the design function of throttling the CS injection MOVs had not been factored into the protective device sizing criteria for the TMBs and had not been evaluated to ensure that the CS injection valve would not inadvertently trip during operation of the MOV in response to EOP guidance following design basis accident conditions. Specifically, the licensee did not recognize TMB protection was the limiting factor for potentially tripping power to the MOVs and therefore did not factor TMB protection into the protective device sizing criteria when changing the design function of the CS injection MOVs. The team discussed this issue with Exelon staff who entered this issue into the corrective action program as IR 2393386. Immediate corrective action included guidance to control room operators to close three of the MOVs when required to maintain RPV level and only use MOV 1V-40-09 which had a TMB tripping design of 17 seconds, thereby, providing reasonable assurance that the design function of controlling RPV level would be maintained.
Analysis.
The team determined the failure to verify modification N1-90-041 design adequacy with respect to ensuring that Unit 1 TMBs on safety-related Core Spray Injection MOV circuits were properly sized to support their design function of cycling numerous times in response to design basis accidents was a performance deficiency.
This performance deficiency was more than minor because it was similar to NRC IMC 0612, Appendix E, Examples of Minor Issues, Example 3.j, in that the design analysis deficiency resulted in a condition where the team had reasonable doubt regarding the operability of the CS injection MOVs to throttle flow to maintain RPV level in accordance with EOP N1-EOP-1.
The finding was associated with the Mitigating Systems Cornerstone attribute of design control and affected the cornerstone objective of ensuring the availability, reliability, and capability of systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences. The team evaluated the finding in accordance with IMC 0609, Significance Determination Process, Attachment 0609.04, Initial Screening and Characterization of Findings, dated June 19, 2012, for the Mitigating Systems Cornerstone, and IMC 0609, Appendix A, The Significance Determination Process (SDP) for Findings At-Power, dated June 19, 2012. The team determined that the finding was of very low safety significance (Green) because it was a design deficiency confirmed not to result in loss of operability or functionality. The team determined that the central cause of this finding was not reflective of current performance or current plant modification processes in that the failure to properly size the CS MOV circuit TMBs occurred in 1995. Therefore, no cross-cutting aspect was assigned.
Enforcement.
10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion III, Design Control, requires, in part, that design control measures provide for verifying or checking the adequacy of design. Modification N1-90-041, was implemented to enable the CS injection valves to be used as throttle valves for maintaining RPV level consistent with the BWROG EPGs.
Emergency operating procedure N1-EOP-1, required operators to Throttle Core Spray Inboard IVs (40-01, 40-09, 40-10, and 40-11) as necessary to maintain RPV level as directed by the EOP Director in response to a LOCA.
Contrary to the above, prior to October 9, 2014, measures had not been established to verify the adequacy of design to ensure that TMBs on safety-related CS injection MOV circuits were properly sized to support their design function of cycling numerous times in response to design basis accidents. Immediate corrective action included an Operations Daily Order which provided guidance to control room operators for throttling the CS injection valves. This violation is being treated as an NCV, consistent with Section 2.3.2 of the NRC Enforcement Policy. The violation was entered into the Exelon corrective action program as IR 2393386.

2.2.3 NRC Information Notice 2012-12: Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning Design Control Issues Challenge Safety System Function
a. Inspection Scope
The team evaluated NMPs applicability review and disposition of NRC IN 2012-12. The NRC issued this IN to inform addressees about certain events involving heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system design control issues that challenged, or potentially challenged safety system functions. Although the example events described in this IN all dealt with HVAC system design deficiencies, the NRC noted that these events illustrate the importance of rigorously evaluating modifications made to any safety-related systems to verify that the design-basis requirements for these system continue to be met. As sample HVAC items to review, the team selected: a) the design of the Unit 1 Screen-Pump House HVAC equipment for its response to a loss of offsite power (LOOP) under minimum and maximum ambient air conditions; and b) design of the Unit 2 Intake Structure deicing equipment also for its response to a LOOP but for minimum lake water temperatures. The team also reviewed procedures CNG-CM-1.01-1003, Design Engineering and Configuration Control, Revision 601, used to develop modifications and CC-AA-202-1001, Quality Review Team, Revision 7 used for quality product review to assure that design changes comply with each plant's design and licensing bases.
b. Findings
No findings were identified.
OTHER ACTIVITIES
4OA2 Identification and Resolution of Problems (IP 71152)
a. Inspection Scope
The team reviewed a sample of problems that Exelon identified and entered into their corrective action program. The team reviewed these issues to evaluate whether Exelon had an appropriate threshold for identifying issues and to evaluate the effectiveness of corrective actions. In addition, corrective action documents written on issues identified during the inspection were reviewed to evaluate adequate problem identification and incorporation of the problem into the corrective action program. In addition, the team reviewed IR2345014 which discussed Unit 2 DGV time delay test equipment which did not meet vendor-specified harmonic distortion criteria and the licensees initial operability assessment. Other corrective action documents that were sampled and reviewed by the team are listed in the attachment.
b. Findings and Observations
No findings were identified.
During the inspection, the team identified the Unit 2 DGV protection time delay relay calibration procedure was deficient, because it permitted calibration with test equipment that didnt meet vendor- specified harmonic distortion criteria. If not properly calibrated, the DGV protection circuit could be inoperable. The team determined the initial operability impact reviews for this issue by both the Unit 2 Senior Reactor Operator and the Station Operations Committee lacked depth and were deficient. Neither recognized the potential impact on offsite power operability. Each considered the issue administrative. Consequently, Unit 2 operated with offsite power in an indeterminate state for 6 days.
The team discussed the initial operability impact assessment with station management, who promptly initiated a detailed and comprehensive operability impact assessment.
Exelon determined that the actual test equipment used for calibration met the vendor-specified criteria and offsite power remained operable. The team reviewed Exelons operability assessment and found the results to be reasonable. The team determined the deficient calibration procedure and deficient operability impact assessment were minor because they were related to equipment qualification and no equipment operability or functionality was significantly affected. In accordance with IMC 0612, Power Reactor Inspection Reports, the above issues constituted violations of minor significance that are not subject to enforcement action in accordance with the Enforcement Policy.
Exelon entered the teams observations into their corrective action program (IRs 2345014, 2392774, and 2400345). Other corrective action documents that were sampled and reviewed by the team are listed in the attachment.
4OA6 Meetings, including Exit
On October 10, 2014, the team presented the inspection results to Mr. Christopher Costanzo, Site Vice President, and other members of the Exelon staff. The team verified that none of the information in this report is proprietary.
4OA7 Licensee-ldentified Violations
The following violation of NRC requirements was identified by Exelon. The issue was determined to have very low safety significance (Green) and met the criteria of Section 2.3.2 of the NRC Enforcement Policy, NUREG-1600, for being dispositioned as an NCV.
10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion III, Design Control, requires, in part, that design control measures shall provide for verifying or checking the adequacy of design, such as by the performance of design reviews, by the use of alternate or simplified calculational methods, or by the performance of a suitable testing program.
In addition, NRC letter dated June 2, 1977, required all licensees to verify existing plant design or propose modifications to ensure onsite emergency power systems met certain criteria including Staff Position 1. Staff Position 1(c)(2) stated the DGV protection time delay duration, shall minimize the effect of short duration disturbances from reducing the availability of the offsite power source(s). Staff Position 1(c)(3) stated the DGV protection time delay shall be established such that the allowable time duration of a DGV condition at all distribution system levels shall not result in failure of safety systems or components.
Contrary to the above, prior to October 9, 2014, Exelon did not adequately evaluate the sequencing of Unit 2 safety-related loads and associated transient voltages to the Unit 2 Class 1E accident initiated motors and MOVs on the-safety related buses and MCCs during the initiation of a design basis loss of coolant event, subsequent unit trip, and resulting sag of the 115kV grid. Specifically, Exelon did not ensure the chosen DGV protection time delay duration:
- (1) minimized the effect of short duration disturbances from reducing the availability of offsite power sources; and,
- (2) maintained voltage requirements for safety-related loads to ensure that failures of safety-related systems would not occur. Exelon did not identify the resulting voltage transients, minimum 4kV motor and 600V MOV starting voltages, associated motor actuator output torque, and control circuit voltages to safety-related MOV motors.
Exelon identified these deficiencies as a result of their review of NRC RIS 2011-12R1 and contracted in September 2014 to have the electrical calculations revised. Initial results, using the grid operator specified grid sag of 3.5 percent following a unit trip, indicated that the transient 4KV safety bus voltage would be too low to reset the DGV relays. This would result in the unintended disconnection of offsite power and transfer to the EDG. Immediate actions included reevaluation of the postulated grid sag and transient 4 kV bus voltages. Exelons subsequent assessment concluded that grid stability had improved and offsite power remained operable. The team reviewed Exelons assessment and immediate actions and found them to be reasonable. Exelon entered this issue into the corrective action program as IRs 2393336 and 2392930. The team determined that the finding was of very low safety significance (Green) in accordance with IMC 0609, Attachment 4, "Phase 1 - Initial Screening and Characterization of Findings," Mitigating Systems, because it was a design deficiency confirmed not to result in loss of operability or functionality.
