SUMMARY
IR 05000397/2016003 and 07200035/2016001; 07/01/2016 - 09/30/2016; Columbia Generating
Station and Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation; Problem Identification and Resolution.
The inspection activities described in this report were performed between July 1 and September 30, 2016, by the resident inspectors at Columbia Generating Station and inspectors from the NRCs Region IV office. One finding of very low safety significance (Green) is documented in this report. The significance of inspection findings is indicated by their color (Green, White, Yellow, or Red), which is determined using Inspection Manual Chapter 0609,
Significance Determination Process. Their cross-cutting aspects are determined using Inspection Manual Chapter 0310, Aspects within the Cross-Cutting Areas. Violations of NRC requirements are dispositioned in accordance with the NRC Enforcement Policy. The NRCs program for overseeing the safe operation of commercial nuclear power reactors is described in NUREG-1649, Reactor Oversight Process.
Cornerstone: Initiating Events
- Green.
The inspectors reviewed a self-revealing finding for the licensees failure to follow plant procedure SYS-4-31, System and Equipment Performance Monitoring and Trending Program, revision 11, that ensures system and component performance to permit early detection and predict equipment problems, and confirm the effectiveness of predictive, preventive, proactive, and corrective maintenance. The actions taken for piping supplied by plant service water were not effective in managing corrosion control. Specifically, the loss of the 2C condensate booster pump was due to a system performance monitoring program that did not permit early detection and predict fouling of internal surfaces of piping that cooled the lube oil coolers. Consequently, on August 5, 2016, the licensee reduced reactor power to approximately 60 percent power due to an inability to control lube oil temperature on the 2C condensate booster pump oil coolers which are cooled by plant service water.
The licensee entered this issue into their corrective action program as Action Request 353210.
The failure to follow plant procedure SYS-4-31, System and Equipment Performance Monitoring and Trending Program, that ensures that a system performance monitoring program will permit early detection of equipment problems, predict equipment problems, and help confirm the effectiveness of predictive, preventive, proactive, and corrective maintenance was a performance deficiency. Specifically, the loss of the 2C condensate booster pump was due to ineffective corrective actions and a system performance monitoring program that did not permit early detection related to fouling of internal surfaces of piping that supplied cooling water to the lube oil coolers. The performance deficiency was more than minor because it affected the equipment performance attribute of the Initiating Event Cornerstone and adversely affected the cornerstone objective to limit the likelihood of events that upset plant stability and challenge critical safety functions during shutdown as well as power operations. Specifically, the inability to adequately cool the lube oil coolers for the condensate booster pump 2C upset plant stability by causing an unplanned plant transient. The inspector performed the initial significance determination using NRC Inspection Manual Chapter 0609, Appendix A, Exhibit 1, Initiating Events Screening Questions. The inspectors determined that the finding was of very low safety significance because the finding did not cause a reactor trip and the loss of mitigation equipment relied upon to transition the plant from the onset of the trip to a stable shutdown condition.
Specifically, the licensee maintained other feed and condensate pumps for mitigation since they were powered from diverse sources.
This finding had a cross-cutting aspect in the area of human performance, challenge the unknown, in that the licensee failed to challenge uncertain conditions. Specifically, since 1999 and as recent as 2012, despite a plant service water corrosion control program, piping supplied by plant service water has continued to corrode internally and challenge loads supported by plant service water [H.11]. (4OA2.2)
Licensee-Identified Violations
A violation of very low safety significance that was identified by the licensee has been reviewed by the inspectors. Corrective actions taken or planned by the licensee have been entered into the licensees corrective action program. This violation and associated corrective action tracking numbers are listed in Section 4OA7 of this report.
PLANT STATUS
The plant began the inspection period at 100 percent power. On July 16, 2016, the plant reduced power to approximately 90 percent power for control rod maintenance and steam valve testing. The plant returned to 100 percent power on July 17, 2016. On July 20, 2016, the plant reduced power to approximately 70 percent power due to a loss of electrical power to non-safety-related condensate and feedwater components. The plant returned to 100 percent power on July 22, 2016.
On August 5, 2016, the plant reduced power to approximately 60 percent power to remove a non-safety-related condensate booster pump from service for repair. The plant returned to 100 percent power on August 7, 2016. On August 13, 2016, the plant reduced power to approximately 92 percent power for control rod drive and steam valve testing. The plant returned to 100 percent power on August 14, 2016. On August 21, 2016, the plant reduced power to approximately 70 percent power for control rod configuration change and steam valve testing. The plant returned to 100 percent power on August 22, 2016.
On September 9, 2016, the plant reduced power to approximately 65 percent power for power suppression testing. The plant returned to 100 percent power on September 11, 2016. On September 17, 2016, the plant reduced power to approximately 92 percent power for control rod drive and steam valve testing. The plant returned to 100 percent power on September 18, 2016, and remained there for the remainder of the inspection period.

- On August 5, 2016, the inspectors reviewed Action Requests for plant service water deficiencies including regulatory commitments after the emergent downpower The inspectors assessed the licensees cause analyses, extent of condition reviews, and compensatory actions. The inspectors verified that the licensee appropriately prioritized the planned corrective actions and that these actions were appropriate.
These activities constituted completion of two annual follow-up samples as defined in Inspection Procedure 71152.
b. Findings
Introduction.
The inspectors reviewed a self-revealed, Green finding for the licensees failure to follow plant procedure SYS-4-31, System and Equipment Performance Monitoring and Trending Program, revision 11. Specifically, the licensee was not effective in detecting and managing internal corrosion of piping that supplied cooling water to the 2C condensate booster pump lube oil coolers resulting in an unplanned power reduction to secure that equipment on August 5, 2016.
Description.
On August 5, 2016, the licensee reduced reactor power to approximately 60 percent power due to an inability to control lube oil temperature on the 2C condensate booster pump oil coolers which are cooled by plant service water.
Operators responded appropriately to manage the changing plant conditions, including completion of a temporary modification to the system to restore plant service water to the 2C condensate booster pump oil coolers. The licensees subsequent apparent cause evaluation in AR 353210353210concluded that the internal surfaces of the plant service water piping were fouled due to corrosion which limited the heat transfer capacity and reduced cooling capability of the condensate booster pump lube oil coolers.
As discussed in the plant Final Safety Analysis Report, section 9.2.1, the plant service water system is designed to provide cooling water for removal of heat rejected from auxiliary equipment. The cooling water comes from an 8-inch header that is reduced to a 2-inch line and then a 1.5-inch line. From the 1.5-inch header pipe the water is distributed through 1-inch lines to the booster pump coolers starting with the 2A pump, then the 2B pump, and finally the 2C pump. In addition to a biocide treatment system, the plant service water system is maintained with additional chemical treatment intended to minimize silt deposition, scale formation, corrosion, and consequential fouling of heat transfer surfaces.
The inspectors reviewed licensee procedure SWP-CAP-01, Corrective Action Program, revision 36, which refers to SWP-CAP-07, Trending Program, revision 9, which states that equipment trending is performed through SYS-4-31, System and Equipment Performance Monitoring and Trending Program, revision 11. SYS-4-31, System and Equipment Performance Monitoring and Trending Program, revision 11, ensures, in part, that a system performance monitoring program will monitor system and component performance, permit early detection of equipment problems, predict equipment problems, and help confirm the effectiveness of predictive, preventive, proactive, and corrective maintenance.
The licensees apparent cause evaluation stated, Since 2012, the licensee has experienced multiple instances of COND-P-2C [the 2C condensate booster pump] outlet lube oil high temperatures due to clogging of the small bore piping. However, the inspectors independent review of the licensees corrective action system found that since 1999, as described in Condition Report 139350, the licensee was aware that the plant service water system was challenged by corrosion of the internal surfaces of carbon steel piping. The inspectors found that the corrosive environment led to multiple additional examples of plant service water pipe blockage issues, with notable examples documented from 2012 through 2015 (e.g., AR 268037268037 AR 269662269662 AR 310400310400 AR 311460311460 and AR 310551310551.
In 2008, the licensee developed a Long Range Improvement Plan (LRIP), a living document to evaluate and define the corrective actions required to effectively improve the performance and reliability of the system. However, despite the LRIP, the inspectors determined the licensees actions were ineffective and failed to ensure the early detection of equipment problems, predict equipment problems, and help confirm the effectiveness of predictive, preventive, proactive, and corrective maintenance as required by plant procedures. Of note, the licensees apparent cause evaluation ultimately concluded that the plant service water subsystem piping and components should have been replaced prior to this event. The licensees apparent cause evaluation (in AR 353210353210 included new long-term corrective actions to address the internal surface corrosion.
Analysis.
The failure to follow plant procedure SYS-4-31, System and Equipment Performance Monitoring and Trending Program, that ensures a system performance monitoring program will permit early detection of equipment problems, predict equipment problems, and help confirm the effectiveness of predictive, preventive, proactive, and corrective maintenance was a performance deficiency. Specifically, the loss of the 2C condensate booster pump was due to ineffective corrective actions and a system performance monitoring program that did not permit early detection related to fouling of internal surfaces of piping that cooled the lube oil coolers. Consequently, on August 5, 2016, the licensee reduced reactor power to approximately 60 percent power due to an inability to control lube oil temperature on the 2C condensate booster pump oil coolers which are cooled by plant service water. The performance deficiency was more than minor because it affected the equipment performance attribute of the Initiating Event Cornerstone and adversely affected the cornerstone objective to limit the likelihood of events that upset plant stability and challenge critical safety functions during shutdown as well as power operations. Specifically, the inability to adequately cool the lube oil coolers for the condensate booster pump 2C upset plant stability resulting in an unplanned plant transient. The inspector performed the initial significance determination using NRC Inspection Manual Chapter 0609, Appendix A, Exhibit 1, Initiating Events Screening Questions. The inspectors determined that the finding was of very low safety significance because the finding did not cause a reactor trip and the loss of mitigation equipment relied upon to transition the plant from the onset of the trip to a stable shutdown condition. Specifically, the licensee maintained available other feedwater and condensate pumps for mitigation of the unplanned plant transient.
This finding had a cross-cutting aspect in the area of human performance, challenge the unknown, in that the licensee failed to challenge uncertain conditions. Specifically, since 1999 and as recent as 2012, despite a plant service water corrosion control program, piping supplied by plant service water has continued to corrode internally and challenge the functionality of loads supported by plant service water [H.11].
Enforcement.
This finding does not involve enforcement action because no violation of a regulatory requirement was identified. This issue was entered into the licensees corrective action program as AR 353210353210 Because this finding does not involve a violation and is of very low safety significance, it is identified as FIN 05000397/2016003-01, Ineffective System Performance Monitoring Program For Plant Service Water Piping Fouling.
4OA3 Follow-up of Events and Notices of Enforcement Discretion
.1 (Closed) Licensee Event Report (LER) 05000397/2016-001-01: Manual Reactor Scram
Following Loss of Reactor Closed Cooling On March 28, 2016, the licensee inserted a manual reactor scram due to a loss of the non-safety reactor closed cooling (RCC) system. The loss of RCC was due to inadequate mechanical isolation between RCC and the safety-related standby service water (SW) system during post-maintenance testing of a SW valve. The scram was uncomplicated and RCC was recovered without adverse impact to cooled components.
This issue was dispositioned as a Green non-cited violation in Section 1R19 of NRC Integrated Inspection Report 05000397/2016002 (ML16202A082). This revision to the LER modified language for the root cause but did not significantly change the NRCs conclusion. This licensee event report is closed.
.2 Loss of main feed pump
On July 20, 2016, the licensee reduced reactor power to approximately 70 percent power due to a failure of non-safety circuit breaker E-CB-S/3 mechanism operated cell switches. Specifically, the switches failed to change state during routine electric lineup shift. As a result, non-safety components tripped including a condensate pump, a condensate booster pump, and a main feed pump. The inspectors reviewed personnel performance, including operator response to changing plant conditions, and computer data. The inspectors determined the licensees response was appropriate for the event and in accordance with procedures and training.
.3 Loss of condensate booster pump 2C
On August 5, 2016, the licensee reduced reactor power to approximately 60 percent power due to an inability to control lube oil temperature on the 2C condensate booster pump oil coolers which are cooled by plant service water. The loss of the 2C condensate booster pump was due to ineffective corrective actions related to fouling of internal surfaces of piping that cools the lube oil coolers. This issue was dispositioned as a Green finding in Section 4OA2 of this report.
These activities constituted completion of three event follow-up samples, as defined in Inspection Procedure 71153.

OTHER ACTIVITIES
.1 Operation of an Independent Spent Fuel Storage Facility at Operating Plants (60855.1)
a. Inspection Scope
A routine Independent Spent Fuel Storage Inspection (ISFSI) inspection was conducted at Columbia Generating Station (CGS) on July 26-28, 2016, by Region IV, Division of Nuclear Material Safety inspectors. The inspectors reviewed and evaluated selected areas from the licensees ISFSI program areas. The areas reviewed included radiation safety, operating procedures, cask thermal monitoring, quality assurance, corrective action, safety evaluations, fuel specifications of loaded assemblies, and compliance to conditions listed in the Holtec HI-STORM 100 Technical Specifications and Holtec Final Safety Analysis Report (FSAR). Also reviewed were changes made to the ISFSI program since the last routine ISFSI inspection which was conducted in March of 2014.
CGS utilized a general Part 72 license in accordance with the Holtec HI-STORM 100 System, approved under Certificate of Compliance 1014, License Amendment 2 and FSAR, Revision 4. At the time of the inspection, CGSs ISFSI had 36 loaded Holtec HI-STORM 100S casks on its ISFSI pad.
Inspectors performed a review of the dry fuel storage records for the five canisters that had been loaded at the ISFSI since the last NRC ISFSI inspection. The canisters contents were reviewed to verify that the licensee was loading fuel in accordance with the Technical Specifications for approved contents. Documents reviewed included multi-purpose canister (MPC) loading maps and fuel assembly specific information such as identification, decay heat, cooling time, average U-235 enrichment, burn-up values, and other information. All fuel documents reviewed documented that CGS had met the requirements listed in the Technical Specifications.
The inspectors requested documentation related to maintenance of the fuel building cask handling crane and the annual maintenance of the sites loaded HI-STORM casks and ISFSI pad. Documents were provided that demonstrated the fuel building cask handling crane was inspected on an annual basis in accordance with the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) B30.2 safety requirements. The licensee had completed annual inspections and maintenance on its casks and ISFSI pad in accordance with FSAR Table 9.2.1 for two calendar years that were reviewed, 2014 and 2015.
Inspectors reviewed the radiological conditions at the CGS ISFSI through a document review of the most recent radiological survey and three calendar years of thermoluminescent dosimeter (TLD) monitoring data from around the ISFSI. A dry cask loading supervisor, one radiation protection (RP) technician, and other members of the licensee staff accompanied the NRC inspectors during a walk-down of the ISFSI pad.
A radiological survey was performed by the RP technician to record gamma exposure rates. The measurements taken by the RP technician were consistent with measurements recorded on the most recent ISFSI site survey. The radiological conditions in and around the ISFSI were as expected for the age and heat-load of the 36 currently loaded spent fuel storage casks. Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Reports for the CGS site were reviewed for the last two calendar years. The reports documented the dose equivalent to any real individual located beyond the site controlled area had been well below the 10 CFR 72.104(a)(2) requirement of less than 25 millirem per year.
A review of the Corrective Action Program (CAP) associated with the ISFSI was conducted by the NRC inspectors. A list of condition reports issued since the last NRC ISFSI inspection was provided by the licensee for the cask handling crane and ISFSI operations. When a problem was identified the licensee would document the issue as an Action Request (AR) in the licensees CAP.
Of the list of ARs provided relating to the ISFSI and the cask handling crane, 30 were selected by the NRC inspectors for further review. The ARs were related to a variety of issues. The ARs reviewed were well documented and properly categorized based on the safety significance of the issue. The corrective actions taken were appropriate for the situations. Based on the comprehensiveness of the ARs, the licensee demonstrated a high attention to detail in regard to the maintenance and operation of the ISFSI program and the cask handling crane. No NRC safety concerns were identified related to the ARs reviewed.
The licensees 10 CFR 72.48/10 CFR 50.59 screenings and evaluations for ISFSI program changes and changes to the cask handling crane were reviewed to determine compliance with regulatory requirements. The CGS had not performed any 10 CFR 72.48 or 10 CFR 50.59 full evaluations (on the cask handling crane) since the last NRC ISFSI inspection. The NRC inspectors selected twenty 10 CFR 72.48 screens and one 10 CFR 50.59 screen that was performed on the cask handling crane for additional review. All the screens reviewed were determined to be adequately evaluated by the licensee.
An on-site review of the Quality Assurance (QA) audits and QA surveillance reports related to dry cask storage activities at the CGS ISFSI was performed by the NRC inspectors. The QA audit reports and surveillances resulted in several ARs. The NRC inspectors reviewed the corrective actions resulting from the ARs to ensure that the identified deficiencies were properly categorized based on their significance and properly resolved. All identified deficiencies had been properly categorized and resolved by the licensee.

4OA7 Licensee-Identified Violations
The following licensee-identified violation of NRC requirements was determined to be of very low safety significance and meets the NRC Enforcement criteria for being dispositioned as a non-cited violation.
License NPF-21, Condition 2.C(11), Shield Wall Deferral (Section 12.3.2, SSER #4, License Amendment #7) states that the licensee shall complete construction of the deferred shield walls and window as identified in Attachment 3. Attachment 3 of License NPF-21 states, in part, that shield walls and window identified in five areas will be installed if the associated radiation levels at these locations exceed 2.5 millirem per hour (mR/hr) as dictated by the ongoing ALARA reviews.
Contrary to the above, one of these locations routinely exceeded 2.5 mR/hr since 2015 without the construction of a shield wall. Specifically, the Radwaste 467 Decontamination Facility A-Centrifuge Room routinely had general area dose rates measuring 4 -70 mR/hr.
In addition, from 2009 through 2015, the licensee failed to establish a program to conduct ALARA reviews routinely and monitor dose rates for three radiation zones containing all five areas.
The licensee initially identified this non-compliance with License Condition 2.C(11) during a quality assurance audit in 2010. In September 2015, during Quality Assurance Audit Report AU-OP/TS-15, the licensee identified this non-compliance again and that it was not corrected. This 2015 audit deficiency was entered in their corrective action program as Action Request AR 00339651.
During the inspection, inspectors toured the five areas called out in the license condition with the licensees Principal Health Physicist and Heath Physics (HP) technician. Radiation surveys performed by the HP technician confirmed general area dose rates in the Radwaste 467 Decontamination Facility A-Centrifuge Room were in excess of 2.5 mR/hr.
The inspectors assessed the finding in accordance with Inspection Manual Chapter (IMC) 0609, The Significance Determination Process, dated April 29, 2015. The inspectors determined the finding was of very low safety significance (Green). The inspectors determined that this violation resulted in no actual safety consequence. All five areas remained properly characterized and appropriate administrative radiation area controls remained in place. The licensee created two corrective action program entries, Action Requests AR 00354266, to create procedures for ongoing ALARA reviews, and AR 00354320, to take action to update their licensee condition to accurately reflect current operations. This violation is being treated as a licensee-identified, non-cited violation consistent with Section 2.3.2 of the NRC Enforcement Policy.
