SUBJECT:
LIMERICK GENERATING STATION - COMPONENT DESIGN BASES INSPECTION REPORT 05000352/2015007 AND 05000353/2015007
Dear Mr. Hanson:
On July 10, 2015, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed the onsite portion of an inspection at the Limerick Generating Station (LGS), Units 1 and 2. The enclosed inspection report documents the inspection results, which were preliminarily discussed on July 10, 2015, with Mr. Rick Libra, Limerick Site Vice President, and other members of your staff. Subsequent to the onsite inspection, continued dialogue and evaluation continued for two of the items discussed on July 10, 2015. The NRCs conclusions on these items were discussed via teleconference on July 30, 2015, with Mr. Wayne Lewis, Senior Design Engineering Manager, 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 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 two NRC-identified findings, both of which were of very low safety significance (Green). Both of the findings were determined to be violations of NRC requirements. However, because of the very low safety significance and because they were both entered into your corrective action program, the NRC is treating these findings as non-cited violations (NCV) consistent with Section 2.3.2.a of the NRCs 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 Senior Resident Inspector at LGS. In addition, if you disagree with the cross-cutting aspect assigned to the findings 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 Senior Resident Inspector at LGS. In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 of the NRCs Rules of Practice, a copy of this letter, its enclosure, and your response (if any) will be available electronically for public inspection in the NRC Public Docket Room or from the Publicly Available Records component of NRCs document system, Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS).

SUMMARY OF FINDINGS
IR 05000352/2015007 and 05000353/2015007; 6/8/2015 - 7/30/2015; Limerick Generating
Station, Units 1 and 2; Component Design Bases Inspection.
The report covers the Component Design Bases Inspection conducted by a team of four U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) inspectors and two NRC contractors. Two findings of very low safety significance (Green) were identified, which were considered to be 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. Cross-cutting aspects associated with findings are determined using IMC 0310,
Components Within the Cross-Cutting Areas. The NRCs program for overseeing the safe operation of commercial nuclear power reactors is described in NUREG-1649, Reactor Oversight Process, Revision 4, dated December 2006.
NRC-Identified and Self-Revealing Findings
Cornerstone: Mitigating Systems
- Green.
The team identified a finding of very low safety significance involving a non-cited violation (NCV) of the 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion III, Design Control, in that Exelon did not verify and assure in design basis calculations, that adequate voltage would be available for starting Class 1E accident mitigating motors when the safeguards buses are powered by the emergency diesel generators (EDG). Specifically, in the calculation performed to evaluate voltage available to individual motors when they are powered by the EDGs, Exelon assumed that the generator output voltage would be 4285 Volts, alternating current (Vac), rather than the minimum voltage allowed by station technical specifications (4160 Vac). Additionally, the electrical ratings of loads powered by the EDG were not adjusted for the maximum frequency allowed by station technical specifications (61.2 hertz (Hz)). As a result, the starting voltage for some of the safety-related motors would not have been acceptable under EDG generator voltage and frequency limiting conditions. In response, Exelon entered the issue into their corrective action program and performed evaluation that determined that EDG actual test results demonstrated the EDGs to be operable. The team review of the evaluation determined it to be reasonable.
This finding was more than minor because it was similar to Example 3.j of NRC IMC 0612, Appendix E, and 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 motor operability or functionality. The team determined this finding had a cross-cutting aspect in the area of Problem Identification and Resolution (Identification, Aspect P.1), because during a calculation revision in 2014, Exelon did not recognize that the limits of voltage and frequency allowed by the station technical specifications affected the calculation results and, therefore, did not completely and accurately identify the issue and revise the calculation in accordance with the stations corrective action program requirements. (Section 1R21.2.1.1)ii
- Green.
The team identified a finding of very low safety significance involving a non-cited violation (NCV) of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion III, Design Control, in that Exelons design control measures did not verify the adequacy of the design regarding adequate direct current voltage (Vdc). Specifically, Exelon did not ensure that adequate voltage existed to emergency diesel generator (EDG) relays and output breaker spring charging motors. Additionally, the team determined that the overall impact to voltage drop calculations was not adequately assessed when the temporary battery cart is used.
Following identification of the issue, Exelon entered it into their corrective action program and evaluated the operability of the batteries, concluding that the affected DC components would function at the current battery capacities. The teams review of the evaluation determined it to be reasonable.

The team determined the finding was of very low safety significance because it was a design deficiency affecting the safety-related batteries that did not result in the loss of operability or functionality. The team determined this finding had a cross-cutting aspect in the area of Human Performance, (Documentation, Aspect H.7) because the battery sizing calculation was revised on March 15, 2014, which provided an opportunity to identify the inaccuracies of the battery calculations.

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 Limerick (LGS) Probabilistic Risk Assessment (PRA) and the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commissions (NRC) Standardized Plant Analysis Risk (SPAR) model for LGS. Additionally, the team referenced the Risk-Informed Inspection Notebook for LGS 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 components selected were associated with both safety-related and non-safety related systems and included a variety of components such as pumps, transformers, operator actions, electrical busses, 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 (CDBI) reports (05000352 and 353/2007007, 05000352 and 353/2009006, and 05000352 and 353/2012007) and excluded those components previously inspected.
The team then performed a margin assessment to narrow the focus of the inspection to 19 components and three operating experience (OE) items. The team selected two components based on large early release frequency (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 OE.
Finally, consideration was also given to the uniqueness and complexity of the design and the available defense-in-depth margins.
The inspection performed by the team was conducted as outlined in NRC Inspection Procedure (IP) 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 bases. Summaries of the reviews performed for each component and OE sample 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 (21 samples)
.2.1.1 D14 Emergency Diesel Generator
a. Inspection Scope
The team reviewed the electrical and mechanical capabilities of Unit 1 emergency diesel generator (EDG), D14. The design function of EDG D14 is to provide standby power to the 4160 Vac safety-related emergency switchgear bus D14 when the preferred offsite power is not available. The electrical evaluation of the EDG focused on its ability to supply power to the safety-related loads during design basis abnormal and accident events. Specifically, the team reviewed transient and steady state loading analyses and the design capabilities of the EDG to confirm its ability to accept and run the required loads. The team reviewed the brake horsepower basis for selected pump motors to ensure that the loads were adequately considered in the loading study at conservative motor operating conditions. The team also reviewed EDG voltage settings and voltage drop calculations to verify that adequate voltage was provided to the safety-related loads during worst-case loading conditions. Additionally, the team reviewed short circuit calculations and the 4160 Vac coordination analysis to ensure that the switchgear equipment was adequately rated and the protective devices selectively coordinated such that the loads and cables were adequately protected without interruption of service to other components during overload or faulted conditions. The team reviewed bus voltage relay settings and control schematic wiring diagrams to confirm that the EDG would start automatically during a loss-of-offsite power or degraded voltage condition and that the bus loading would occur, in accordance with design requirements and licensing bases.
The team reviewed the EDG surveillance test procedures and results to verify that such testing complied with technical specification (TS) requirements and, in particular, that during the sequential starting of loads, the EDG had sufficient capability to accelerate the loads within the time periods specified in the Updated Final Safety Analysis Report (UFSAR). The team reviewed the details associated with an EDG time delay relay testing minor deficiency, wherein the safety function could still be performed but the team evaluated a potential timing and sequencing issue with the alternate source of offsite power and EDG breakers closing on safety-related buses within the same timeframe (Issue Report (IR) 02535151).
The team also inspected the EDG mechanical support systems to ensure they were capable of meeting their design basis functions, including the fuel oil, lubricating oil, starting air, engine cooling, and room cooling systems. The team reviewed the fuel oil consumption calculation to ensure the quantity of fuel on site was consistent with design and licensing requirements. Engine air start system check valve leakage testing and associated calculations were reviewed to ensure engine starting capability from the stored air supply was adequate to start the EDG during worst case delayed starting assumptions. The team reviewed engine heat exchanger design calculations and recent heat exchanger inspection results to ensure adequate cooling water flow rate and heat transfer assumptions were maintained.
The team also witnessed a monthly surveillance test of the diesel engine which was conducted using the slow start method to verify the adequacy of the surveillance, to determine whether all elements of the procedure were completed, and to verify that components were operating as designed.
The team reviewed selected maintenance procedures and completed work records to evaluate whether the EDG was being properly maintained. The team reviewed completed surveillances to determine if the EDG was being tested in accordance with the TSs. The team also interviewed the responsible engineers and performed walkdowns of the EDG and related equipment to assess Exelons configuration control, the material condition, the operating environment, and potential external hazards. Finally, the team reviewed corrective action documents and system health reports to evaluate whether there were any adverse operating trends and to assess Exelon's ability to evaluate and correct problems.
b. Findings
Introduction:
The team identified a finding of very low safety significance (Green)involving a non-cited violation (NCV) of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion III, "Design Control," in that Exelon did not verify and assure in design basis calculations, that adequate voltage would be available for starting Class 1E accident mitigating motors when the safeguards buses are powered by the EDGs. Specifically, in the calculation performed to evaluate voltage available to individual motors when powered by the EDGs, Exelon assumed that the generator output voltage would be 4285 Vac, rather than the minimum voltage allowed by the station TSs (4160 Vac). Additionally, the kilowatt (kW) and kilovolt amperes (KVA) ratings of the loads powered by the EDG were assumed to be at nominal frequency (60 Hz) rather than at the maximum frequency allowed by the station TSs (61.2 Hz). As a result, the starting voltage for some of the safety-related motors may not have been acceptable under limiting EDG voltage and frequency conditions.
Description:
Calculation 6380E-08, Diesel Generator Voltage Regulation Study, was prepared to predict and evaluate the EDG voltage transient during the addition of step load changes to assure that the capability of the on-site power system is not degraded to a point that prevents the starting and running of all engineered safety feature and emergency shutdown loads required for: 1) a loss-of-offsite power (LOOP); and 2) a loss-of-coolant accident (LOCA) coincident with a LOOP. The teams review of the design inputs determined that Exelon had assumed a starting EDG voltage of 4285 Vac.
Additionally, the team observed that the calculation had assumed a nominal frequency of 60 Hz. Based on the assumed voltage and frequency, the calculation concluded that, when powered from the EDG, all motors received an acceptable starting voltage, albeit the margin for some 460 Vac motors was very limited both under LOOP and LOCA-LOOP conditions.
To confirm the acceptability of the calculation assumptions the team reviewed the UFSAR and the TSs. The team determined that TS Surveillance Requirement (SR) 4.8.1.1.2.a.4 required verification that the diesel can start and gradually accelerate to synchronous speed with generator voltage and frequency at 4280 +/- 120 Vac and 60 +/- 1.2 Hz, and that other SRs have similar requirements. Similarly, the team found that these same voltage and frequency requirements were reflected in the applicable plant surveillance procedures.
The team identified that the surveillance procedures can allow voltages less than the calculated 4285 Vac and higher than the calculated nominal 60 Hz, as permitted by the TSs. However, in light of the very limited margin available on several safety-related motors, the team questioned the acceptability of the assumptions formulated in calculation 6380E-08 compared to the tested acceptance criteria and questioned Exelon as to whether the surveillance acceptance criteria were potentially non-conservative. To address the teams concern, Exelon conducted preliminary analyses to determine the minimum required EDG voltage to assure that adequate starting voltage at all safety-related motors, assuming EDG operation at a maximum frequency of 61.2 Hz.
Exelon staff determined that when the safety-related motors were powered by the EDG, the minimum EDG voltage should be not less than 4235 Vac and that EDG surveillance testing should confirm that the voltage regulator maintained such minimum voltage.
Exelon entered the teams finding in the corrective action program (IR 2525662) and performed an operability evaluation to confirm that, under current governor and voltage regulator settings, all motors remained operable. The team reviewed Exelons operability assessment and agreed that, based upon test results demonstrating that the voltage never fell below the calculated value, the EDGs remained operable.
In addition, the team discussed the applicability of NRC Administrative Letter (AL) 98-10, Dispositioning of Technical Specifications that are Insufficient to Assure Plant Safety.
Specifically, in this case, the TSs allowed the EDG minimum voltage (4160 Vac) and maximum frequency to values that are not bounded by the governing design calculation (4285 Vac, 61.2 Hz). Accordingly, and consistent with AL 98-10, Exelon plans to impose administrative controls as a short term compensatory measure (for the TS surveillance test); and will evaluate an amendment to the TS, with appropriate justification and schedule, for submittal to the NRC in a timely fashion.
Analysis:
The team determined that the failure to confirm that all safety-related motors had adequate starting voltage when powered by the EDG was a performance deficiency.
Specifically, Exelon did not consider the effects of minimum voltage and maximum frequency allowed by TSs on the ability of the engineered safety feature and emergency shutdown loads to start and run, as assumed in the design basis calculation of record, 6380E-08. As a result, at the minimum voltage allowed by the TSs, some of the motors may not have the minimum voltage specified in the applicable industry standards and calculation assumptions. The finding was more than minor because it was similar to Example 3.j of NRC Inspection Manual Chapter (IMC) 0612, Appendix E, Examples of Minor Issues, which determined that calculation errors would be more than minor if, as a result of the errors, there was reasonable doubt on the operability of the component.
In addition, the finding was associated with the Design Control attribute of the Mitigating Systems Cornerstone and adversely affected the cornerstone objective to ensure the availability, reliability, and capability of systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences.
The team performed a risk screening, in accordance with IMC 0609, Appendix A, Significance Determination Process for Findings At-Power, using Exhibit 2, Mitigating Systems Screening Questions, and determined the finding was of very low safety significance (Green) because it was a design deficiency affecting motor starting capability that did not result in the loss of operability or functionality of the affected safety-related equipment. Specifically, a preliminary analysis determined that existing settings for the EDG speed governor and voltage regulator were adequate to prevent the voltage at all motors from dropping below the required minimum. Additionally, results of recent surveillance tests indicated that the EDG voltage never fell below the calculated value.
The team determined that this finding had a cross-cutting aspect in the area of Problem Identification and Resolution (Identification), because during a revision of the calculation in 2014, Exelon did not recognize that the limits of voltage and frequency allowed by the TSs affected the calculation results and, therefore, did not completely and accurately identify the issue and revise the calculation in accordance with the stations corrective action program requirements. (IMC 0310, Aspect P.1)
Enforcement:
10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion III, "Design Control," requires, in part, that design control measures shall provide for verifying the adequacy of design, and for the selection and review for suitability of equipment that is essential to the safety related functions of structures, systems, and components. Contrary to the above, prior to July 10, 2015, Exelon's design control measures had not verified the adequacy of the design basis calculation to assure that adequate voltage would be available for starting Class 1E accident mitigating motors when the safeguards buses are powered by the EDGs. Specifically, in the design basis calculation performed to evaluate voltage drop to individual motors when they are powered by the EDGs (6380E-08), Exelon assumed that the EDG output voltage would be 4280 Vac, rather than the minimum voltage allowed by the TSs (4160 Vac). Additionally, the loads were not adjusted for the maximum frequency allowed by the TSs (61.2 Hz) or the administrative limits imposed on the EDG governor. Because this violation was of very low safety significance (Green) and was entered into Exelons corrective action program (IR 2525662), this violation is being treated as an NCV, consistent with Section 2.3.2.a of the NRC's Enforcement Policy.

.2.1.2 Division I 125/250 Vdc Station Battery and Direct Current Bus (2 samples)
a. Inspection Scope
The team inspected the Division I 125/250 voltage direct current (Vdc) station battery and direct current (DC) bus at Unit 1 to evaluate whether the battery and bus could perform the design basis function to provide DC power to the Division I switchgear following postulated design basis accidents.
The team reviewed the UFSAR, TSs, TS Bases, the system design description, drawings, and procedures to identify the performance requirements for the battery and associated DC bus. The team reviewed design calculations to assess the adequacy of the batterys sizing to ensure it could power the required equipment for a sufficient duration, and at a voltage above the minimum required for equipment operation. The team reviewed battery room temperature monitoring to verify that environmental conditions would not adversely affect the life of the battery and that the battery would be capable of performing its intended safety function late in life during normal and postulated accident conditions.
The team reviewed battery test results, including discharge tests to ensure the testing was in accordance with design calculations, plant TSs, vendor recommendations, and industry standards; and that the results confirmed acceptable performance of the battery.
Design and system engineers were interviewed regarding the design, operation, testing, and maintenance of the battery.
The team reviewed the design and operation of the switchgear bus and associated distribution panels. The review evaluated whether the loading of the DC bus was within equipment ratings and determined whether the bus could perform its design basis function to reliably power the associated loads under worst case conditions. Specifically, the team reviewed calculations and drawings including voltage drop calculations, short circuit analyses, and load study profiles to evaluate the adequacy and appropriateness of design assumptions.
The team walked down the Division I 125 Vdc battery, bus, and distribution panels to independently assess their material condition and to determine if the system alignment and operating environment was consistent with design basis assumptions. Finally, the team reviewed corrective action documents and system health reports to determine if there were any adverse operating trends and to assess Exelons ability to evaluate and correct problems.
b. Findings
Introduction:
The team identified a finding of very low safety significance (Green)involving an NCV of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion III, Design Control, in that Exelons design control measures did not verify the adequacy of the design regarding adequate DC voltage. Specifically, the team determined that Exelon did not ensure that adequate voltage existed to EDG relays and output breaker safety-related spring charging motors (SCM). Additionally, the team determined that the overall impact to voltage drop calculations was not adequately assessed when the temporary battery cart is used.
Description:
The team reviewed three pertinent calculations to assess the capability of the safety-related batteries to provide adequate voltage to the DC loads:
- LE-052, Class 1E Battery Load Duty Cycle Determination
- LE-069, Class 1E 125 Vdc System Voltage Analysis
- LE-053, Determine Acceptable Cable Size for Temporary Cable Jumpers Used During Battery Cell Maintenance/Testing The team noted that the purpose of LE-052 was to show that battery voltage stays above 105 Vdc when DC loads operate under worst-case conditions. The purpose of the LE-069 calculation was to show that at 105 Vdc, all the DC loads would have sufficient voltage. Finally, calculation LE-053 was developed to demonstrate that even with the increased resistance of the temporary battery cart, there would be sufficient voltage for all of the loads.
The team noted that the calculated worst case component voltage was lower than the manufacturer recommended minimum voltage for EDG relays and several safety-related SCMs. The EDG relay manufacturer required 106 Vdc, however, the calculation showed 94 Vdc available. The SCM manufacturer required 90 Vdc, but the calculation showed 76 Vdc available. A sample of EDG relays and SCMs was tested in the 1994 timeframe to verify that the components would operate at the calculated minimum voltage (i.e., at a value less than the manufacturer recommended voltages); and actions were internally recommended to perform future periodic testing of these devices to provide assurance that they would continue to operate at the reduced voltage. However, the actions to periodically retest the EDG relays and SCMs were not successful in that maintenance procedures were never updated to require periodic retesting at the calculated minimum voltages. The team noted that new relays of the same model as the EDG relays are tested at the calculated minimum voltage prior to installation in the plant; and SCMs are tested, but at the manufacturers minimum rather than at the lower value in the calculation (76 Vdc).
At Limerick, a temporary battery cart is used to allow online battery maintenance. The cart is designed to jumper out several cells from the battery and jumpers in cells from the cart. The cart is designed to be fully qualified as a replacement for the cells. Calculation LE-053 documents that, although the battery cart causes increased resistance and therefore increases voltage drop, there would be sufficient voltage drop margin so that the battery would remain operable. The LE-053 calculation is dependent on LE-052 and appropriately requires that LE-053 be reviewed whenever LE-052 is revised. The team reviewed the current LE-053 review as documented in the most recent revision to LE-052 and determined that it was inadequate. Specifically, the review included incorrect calculations and erroneous assumptions regarding the worst case increase in voltage drop (~3 Vdc) from the battery cart and the acceptability of being below the required voltage for motor-operated valves and relays to change position, and therefore would invalidate the use of the battery cart regarding Divisions I, II, IIII, and IV.
In response to the teams observations, Exelon entered the DC voltage issues into their corrective action program, evaluated the operability of the affected components, and initiated actions for increased testing and further evaluation. Specifically, Exelon re-calculated the voltage drops using the current battery capacity to demonstrate the ability to perform the intended safety functions, verified the current battery service life calculations, reviewed operating experience to verify no negative trend existed for EDG relay performance, and implemented actions to promptly test spare components, and to periodically test the affected components. In addition, Exelon verified that the temporary battery cart will not be used for the Division III and Division IV batteries until more detailed evaluation can be done to show that the battery cart has sufficient margin for these batteries (their evaluation demonstrated that the cart could be used for Division I and II batteries). The team reviewed the evaluations and agreed that there was reasonable assurance that the batteries will provide adequate voltage to the safety-related components. In the longer term, Exelon planned additional evaluations to ensure operability through the end of expected battery service life.
Analysis:
The team determined that the failure to ensure adequate voltage was available to safety-related DC equipment was a performance deficiency. Specifically, Exelon did not ensure that adequate voltage existed to EDG relays and breaker SCMs and did not ensure the overall impact to voltage drop was adequately assessed when the temporary battery cart was used. The finding was more than minor because it was similar to Example 3.j of NRC IMC 0612, Appendix E, Examples of Minor Issues, which determined that calculation errors would be more than minor if, as a result of the errors, there was reasonable doubt on the operability of the component. In addition, the finding was associated with the Design Control attribute of the Mitigating Systems Cornerstone and adversely affected the cornerstone objective to ensure the availability, reliability, and capability of systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences.
The team performed a risk screening, in accordance with IMC 0609, Appendix A, "Significance Determination Process for Findings At-Power," using Exhibit 2, "Mitigating Systems Screening Questions," and determined the finding was of very low safety significance (Green) because it was a design deficiency affecting the safety-related batteries that did not result in the loss of operability or functionality. Specifically, a preliminary analysis determined that the affected components would function at the current battery capacities.
The team determined that this finding had a cross-cutting aspect in the area of Human Performance (Documentation), because the battery sizing calculation LE-052 was revised on March 15, 2014, which provided an opportunity to identify the inaccuracies of the battery calculations. (IMC 0310, Aspect H.7)
Enforcement:
10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion III, Design Control, states, in part, that measures shall be established to provide for verifying the adequacy of design.
Contrary to the above, prior to July 10, 2015, Exelons design control measures had not verified the adequacy of the design regarding adequate DC voltage. Specifically, Exelon did not perform periodic re-testing of EDG relays or output breaker spring charging motors at reduced voltage, and the DC voltage drop was not adequately assessed when the temporary battery cart was used. Because this finding is of very low safety significance (Green) and was entered into Exelons corrective action program (IRs 2525692, 2526231, and 2526233), the violation is being treated as an NCV, consistent with Section 2.3.2.a of the NRCs Enforcement Policy.

.2.1.3 Reactor Core Isolation Cooling System Logic
a. Inspection Scope
The team inspected the Unit 1 reactor core isolation cooling (RCIC) system logic to evaluate whether it could perform its design basis function to automatically initiate the RCIC system to provide a means for coolant injection to the reactor when the reactor is isolated. The logic also isolates the RCIC system when reactor water level increases to its high setpoint.
The team reviewed the UFSAR, TSs, TS Bases, the system design basis document (DBD), drawings, and procedures to identify the performance requirements for the RCIC system logic. The team reviewed associated surveillance testing of the RCIC system circuitry to verify its performance under design basis conditions. The team reviewed calculations and discussed the design, operation, and maintenance of the system with engineers. The team also conducted a walkdown of related and accessible RCIC system components to assess the material condition of the equipment and to evaluate whether the installed configuration was consistent with the plant drawings, procedures, and the design bases. Finally, the team reviewed corrective action documents and system health reports to determine if there were any adverse operating trends and to assess Exelons ability to evaluate and correct problems.
b. Findings
No findings were identified.
.2.1.4 Reactor Core Isolation Cooling System Flow Controller
a. Inspection Scope
The team inspected the Unit 1 RCIC system flow controller to evaluate whether it could perform its design basis function to automatically control RCIC system flow to the reactor during transient and postulated accident scenarios. The team reviewed the UFSAR, TSs, TS Bases, the system DBD, drawings, and procedures to identify the performance requirements for the RCIC system flow controller.
