Actions on Previously Identified Items (92701, 92702)

a.

(Open) Open Item 255/91009-0l(DRP) and Violation

255/91006-03(DRSS):

Control of Vendor Manuals.

These items addressed vendor manual control problems in two plant

disciplines. Consumers Power Company Audit Report QA-91-20, in.

paragraph 3.2, identified a vendor manual control problem in a third

discipline.

The inspector concluded that the licensee's corrective

action for the violation and subsequent open item did not encompass

vendor manual control for all plant disciplines as evidenced by

QA-91-20.

This was discussed at the management interview.

b.

(Closed) Unresolved Item 255/91015-01:

Removal From Service of

Pressure Switch (PS)-0918,

11 Component Cooling Water Pump Discharge

Pressure.

11

This unresolved item addressed two questions.

Tve first concerned

whether a temporary modification was required and the second

pertained to the applicability of the Technical Specifications .

2

. .

3.

The inspector reviewed the following:

(1)

Palisades Final Safety Analysis Report (FSAR), section

9.3.2.3.3,

11 Emergency Operations.

11

(2)

Palisades Technical Specifications 3.4.1 and 3.4.2.

With regard to the question concerning the need to process a

temporary modification when PS-0918 was initially removed from

service, the licensee - by authorizing a temporary modification

subsequent to their reanalysis of this question - has rendered the

issue academic.

No unreviewed safety question existed.

With regard to the question concerning the applicability of

Technical Specifications 3.4.1 and 3.4.2 when PS-0918 was removed

from service, the inspector's assessment was that the Technical

Specifications did apply.

The Palisades FSAR, in section 9.3.2.3.3,

11 Emergency Operations," stated:

11The third pump is sequenced later

but only starts if a low pump discharge pressure is present,

indicating that the other pumps have not started.

11

In the event of

a OBA, one component cooling pump and both heat exchangers are

required.

The opening of the links to PS-0918 on August 27, 1991, rendered

inoperable the interlock provided to automatically start the third

CCW pump.

Palisades Technical Specification 3.4.1.c requires heat

exchangers, valves, piping and interlocks associated with the

containment cooling system and required to function during accident

conditions be operable during plant operations. Technical

Specification 3.4.2 provides limiting conditions for operations and

action requirements if components of TS 3.4.1 are not operable.

The

accident analyses only credit one component cooling water pump

during the injection phase of an accident, although three are

provided, thus mitigating the safety significance. Applicability,

in this case, was determined by FSAR commitment to system design and

operating characteristics. The rendering of PS-0918 inoperatile on

August 27, 1991, and subsequent failure to comply with the action

statements within the time limits specified, is a violation of

Palisades Technical Specifications 3.4.1.c and 3.4.2 (Violation

255/91018-0l(DRP)).

The inspector observations pertaining to control of the maintenance

activity for PS-0918 is discussed in paragraph 4.a,

11Maintenance -

WO 24906479.

11

One violation and no deviations, unresolved or open items were

identified.

Operational Safety Verification (71707, 71710, 42700)

Routine steady state operating activities were observed as conducted in

the plant and from the main control room.

3

The performance of reactor operators and senior reactor operators, shift

engineers, and auxiliary equipment operators was observed and evaluated.

Included in the review were procedure use and adherence, records and

logs, communications, shift/duty turnover, and the degree of

professionalism of control room activities.

Evaluation, corrective action, and response for off normal conditions or

events were examined.

This included compliance to any reporting

requirements.

Observations of the control room monitors, indicators, and recorders were

made to verify the operability of emergency systems, radiation monitoring

systems, and nuclear reactor protection systems.

Reviews of

surveillance, equipment condition, and tagout logs were conducted.

a.

Genera 1

The unit began and ended the report period at essentially 100

percent power.

The unit experienced an efficiency loss of

approximately 10 MWe when CV-0605,

11Feedwater Heater 6-B Drain

11

failed in the closed position (discussed in paragraph 4.b,

11Maintenance

11 ).

b.

CROM 17 Inoperable

The inspector reviewed the licensee's response to an elevated seal

leak-off temperature for Control Rod Drive Mechanism (CROM) 17.

The elevated leak-off temperature was identified during biweekly

exercising of CRDMs.

The design of the CRDMs utilizes a direct

drive with a rotating seal which forms part of the primary coolant

pressure boundary.

Each CROM has a seal leak-off line with a

locally mounted thermocouple to monitor seal performance.

Leak-off

water is collectively drained to the containment sump.

The elevated

temperature can indicate seal integrity problems.

Because of a

common drain line, the licensee cannot measure the individual CROM

leak-off rate.

The licensee has implemented the following actions.

(1)

The temperature alarm setpoint of CROM 17 has been increased to

eliminate a standing common control room alarm.

This will

ensure that an elevated temperature for CROM 17 does not mask

potential problems with other CRDMs.

(2) A review of the planned preventative maintenance activities for

CROM 17 confirmed that a changeout of the seal package was

scheduled for the next refueling outage.

(3)

An evaluation of the elevated temperature de.termined

operability was not a problem. However, there was a need to

minimize movement of the seals .

4

(4)

To m1n1m1ze movement of the seals, CROM 17 was removed from the

biweekly testing schedule and declared inoperable. Technical

Specifications do not require compensatory measures if one CROM

is inoperable.

(5)

The rod was confirmed not to be misaligned and was still

considered capable of being tripped as evidenced by the

refueling frequency test that verified tripping times.

The inspector reviewed the Technical Specifications and FSAR,

discussed this issue with the system engineer, and concluded that

the licensee remains in compliance with the reviewed documents.

c.

Diesel Generator Operability

During this inspection period, the Configuration Control Project

identified a number of potential diesel generator operability

problems.

Each was evaluated and determined not to render the

diesel generators inoperable.

These items are listed below and

were provided to the NRC Electrical Distribution System Functional

Inspection (EDSFI) team leader for consideration during the upcoming

EDSFI inspection.

(1)

The licensee found that no diesel generator trips were bypassed

during emergency phases of operation. This was contrary to NRC

Branch Technical Position 17 which required bypassing of

certain trips during emergency operations.

This item was the. subject of Systematic Ev_aluation Program (SEP)

Topic VIII-2,

11Diesel Generators

11

The closeout letter dated

February 27, 1981, for SEP Topic VIII-2, stated the licensee

was in compliance with Branch Technical Position 17 with one

exception which was listed and approved.

The February 27

letter also referenced applicable licensee correspondence.

One

licensee letter dated May 16, 1977, stated that the trips were

active and not bypassed during an emergency start. The

licensee has been in telephone contact with NRR to discuss -the

issue and plans to make the appropriate modifications during

the next outage.

(2)

The licensee determined that the

11A

11 control circuit may be

inoperable because of a modification made to the local

annunciator panel.

During the modification, a non-seismically

qualified annunciator panel was installed to provide reflash

capability in the control room.

The annunciator panel has a

locally installed fuse that may short circuit during a seismic

event and cause a loss of power to the

11A

11 control circuit.

The licensee evaluation determined that the.

11B

11 control circuit

was seismically qualified, operated independently of the

11A

11

control circuit and was capable of starting the diesel

generator.

The licensee determined that the diesel generators

were operable but will require modifications during the 1992

refueling outage to establish the proper configuration.

5

(3) A review of diesel generator room cooling determined that the

cooling capacity was marginal.

The room was cooled by a forced

air ventilation system.

The heat rating of the generator may

be exceeded during prolonged usage at fully loaded conditions

during certain times of the year.

The licensee evaluation

continues.

d.

Medical Response Drill

The inspector observed the medical response drill conducted on

September 27, 1991.

The drill was well planned and executed.

The

drill exercised emergency first aid skills, crowd control and

access/egress within a radiologically*controlled area. The response

by both onsite and offsite personnel demonstrated appropriate skills

to deal with actual incidents.

e.

50.72 Notification

On November 1, 1991, the licensee determined that a potential

exists to exceed 10 CFR, Part 50, Appendix A, Criterion 19 limits

for radiological exposure of control room personnel.

The potential

exists because post accident management of containment iodine (as

approved by a previous revision of the NRC Standard Review Plan)

assumed that hydrazine added to the injection water provided iodine

retention and sodium hydroxide added to recirculation water

established a neutral pH and maintained iodine in retention.

The current revision of the Standard Review Plan does not credit

hydrazine for iodine retention. Based on current operating

practices, the licensee determined that the sump pH required to

keep iodine in solution would not be established within one hour (as

assumed in the accident analysis) following a Design Basis Accident

(DBA), the large break loss-of-coolant-accident (LOCA).

Based on

preliminary calculations, unacceptable control room doses are

expected if iodine does not stay in solution during the first four

hours of an event. Presently, the licensee is pursuing proposals on

the application of trisodium phosphate (TSP) for passive sump pH

control. Additionally, control room atmosphere is continuously .

monitored for iodine with procedural requirements for operators to

don self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) should an alarm occur.

The inspector had no additional questions. However, this issue will

be followed as the licensee c*ompletes their Maximum Hypothetical

Accident (MHA) analysis.

No violations, deviations, unresolved or open items were identified.

4.

Maintenance (62703, 42700)

Maintenance activities in the plant were routinely inspected, including

both corrective maintenance (repairs) and preventive maintenance.

Mechanical, electrical, and instrument and control group maintenance

activities were included as available *

The focus of the inspection was to ensure the maintenance activities

reviewed were conducted in accordance with approved procedures,

6

regulatory guides and industry codes or standards, and in conformance

with Technical Specifications.

The following items were considered

during this review: the Limiting Conditions for Operation were met while

components or systems were removed from service, approvals were obtained

prior to initiating the work, activities were accomplished using approved

procedures, and post maintenance testing was performed as applicable.

The following activities were inspected:

a.

Work Order (WO) 24906479:

Preplanned Emergence Work On Station

Power Inverters.

The inspector reviewed WO 24906479, which was used to troubleshoot

the Preferred AC Bus No. 1 Trouble alarm on August 27, 1991.

During

trouble shooting, the licensee found a ground associated with

PS-0918 had caused the trouble alarm.

When PS-0918 was removed from

the circuit, the trouble alarm was cleared.

PS-0918 is not directly

associated with the station power inverters and appears to be

outside the boundary of the inverters.

The inspector reviewed Palisades Administrative Procedure (AP) 5.01,,

"Processing Work Requests/Work Orders,

11 as it pertains to job scope

(section 5.20) and performance of work (section 6.2.17). It was the

inspector

1 s assessment that the use of WO 24906479 was not in

compliance with the guidance and direction established in AP 5.01.

The noncompliance in this instance is twofold.

(1)

Job scope, as defined section 5.20, is: "That work required to

eliminate the deficiency identified in the original WO,

provided all the required work is principally associated with

the equipment **. identified in the Work Order Equipment

Description section . . .

and no additional system boundaries

will be violated." The defined job scope of WO 24906479

pertained to the station

1s inverters and did not include the

Main Control Room Panel C13L, the panel in which the links for

PS-0918 are located.

Palisades Plant Drawing 950 E-8 Sheet 2,

diagrams the 120V Instrument and Preferred AC System.

The.

Station Power Inverters are shown as dotted lines which is

indicative of a system interface or boundary and doesn

1t

include Panel C13L within the system boundary.

(2)

The performance of work orders, as detailed in section 6.2.17,

requires if a WO cannot be performed or completed in accordance

with the job plan (i.e., there is work required in addition to

the job plan description) the Assigned Supervisor shall proceed

in accordance with section 6.2.9.b of AP 5.01. Section 6.2.9,

11Returned Work Order Processing," requires the Assigned

Supervisor to return the WO to the Work Gro~p Coordinator or

Job Planner if the work required to complete the job was

outside the scope of the WO.

Once returned, the Work Group

Coordinator or Job Planner will revise and reissue the WO to

the Work Group Supervisor for completion.

WO 24906479 was not

revised in accordance with the requirements of section 6.2.9.

7

The manner in which WO 24906479 was used, in the aforementioned

situation, is incompatible with the guidance provided in

Administrative Procedure 5.01.

The inspector did not pursue enforcement action for maintenance

aspects of this issue because electrical maintenance did maintain

positive control by use of a "lead/link control sheet" to document

and control the opened links for PS-0918 in accordance with

Administrative Procedure 5.16, "Controls of jumpers, leads and links

during maintenance, modifications and testing." Enforcement action

is being taken relating to operability of PS-0918 (reference

paragraph 2.b). Through discussions with the licensee, the

inspector has concluded that this apparent misuse of WO 24906479 was

an isolated case and actions taken appeared reasonable to preclude

recurrence.

b.

WO 24105095: Repair CV-0605 "Feedwater Heater E-68 Drain."

The inspector observed two portions of the attempted repair

activities. The first pertained to the investigation confirming

that the valve was separated from the disc and the second pertained

to planning and attempted repair of the valve. During the initial

investigation, the inspector observed the cooperative effort of

system engineers, operations personnel (auxiliary and shift

supervisor) and maintenance personnel performing the investigation.

During the attempted repair, the inspector attended the planning

meeting and noted that representatives from various plant disciplines

were present, conversation was uninhibited and covered a range of

topics from contingency options to effect on the plant.

The repair

was aborted because a boundary isolation valve would not isolate due

to malfunction.

The licensee continued to evaluate repair options,

because the failure of CV-0605 resulted in an efficiency loss of

approximately 10 MWe.

c.

WO 24105214: Repair Manual Operator BTV-0606, "High Pressure

Feedwater Heater E-68 Extraction Steam."

d.

e.

f.

g .

h.

The manual operator malfunctioned when this valve was used as a

boundary isolation valve for another repair activity.

The

malfunction occurred when the fasteners broke.

Initial

investigation indicated that the fasteners were the wrong material.

The licensee evaluation continues.

5.

Surveillance (61726, 42700)

The inspector reviewed Technical Specifications required surveillance

testing as described below and verified that testing was performed in

accordance with adequate procedures.

Additionally, test instrumentation

was calibrated, Limiting Conditions for Operation were met, removal and

restoration of the affected components were properly accomplished, and

test results conformed with Technical Specifications and procedure

requirements.

The results were reviewed by personnel other than the

individual directing the test and deficiencies identified during the

testing were properly reviewed and resolved by appropriate management

personnel.

The following activities were inspected:

a.

ME-12

Monthly Battery Checks

b.

The inspector verified that the crew was in compliance with the

requirements of ME-12 during the setup and performance of the test.

During the setup, the crew placed an electrical extension cord

through the fire doors to battery rooms 1 and 2.

The fire doors

were declared inoperable and the applicable compensatory measures

implemented.

Once the equipment was setup, the crew left the area.

The inspector questioned the need to degrade a fire barrier (fire

door) in preparation for test performance since no one was in the

area, no surveillance activities were being performed and removal

of the extension cord and restoration of the fire barrier to operable

status was not a difficult or time consuming task.

Q0-10

(1)

Containment Spray and Low Pressure Safety Injection

Check Valve Test

During the Enforcement Conference for Inspection Report No.

50-255/91017(DRP), the licensee stated that the performance of

Q0-10 interrupted shutdown cooling because the Containment

Spray System and Shutdown Cooling System share components.

As

a result of that statement, the inspector reviewed Q0-10 to

ensure that sufficient controls were in place to prevent an

inadvertent loss of shutdown cooling.

Q0-10 required approval

of a shift supervisor, the Operations Department Scheduler and

the Operations Superintendent prior to performance of sections

9

that bypassed the shutdown cooling heat exchanger.

Additionally, the test was not permitted during mid-loop or

reduced inventory conditions. Q0-10 maintained shutdown

cooling flow but bypassed the shutdown heat exchanger during

performance of the test and appeared to have sufficient

administrative controls in effect to prevent an inadvertent

loss of shutdown cooling.

The inspector discussed this item with the Operations

Superintendent and the Inservice Inspection Supervisor.

The

inspector asked if the licensee considered that the information

obtained from the test justified the risk to shutdown cooling

ability.

The response was affirmative.

In addition, the

inspector was informed that a proposed modification to the

recirculation flow path, to resolve an unrelated problem,

should minimize the risk.

(2)

While reviewing Q0-10, the inspector noted that paragraphs

5.2.2.a. and 5.2.3.a. required verification that the RHR pump

discharge valve was open prior to starting the pump.

The valve

referenced was not for the pump started. This was identified

to the System Engineer, who stated that the procedure would be

revised. This error did not affect operability of the pumps.

c.

M0-78

Fire Water Pumps

d.

M0-7C

Fuel Oil Transfer Pumps

e.

DW0-13

LLRT Inner/Outer Personnel Air Lock Seal

No violations, deviations, unresolved or open items were identified.

6.

Security. (71707)

Routine facility security measures, including control of access for

vehicles, packages and personnel, were observed.

Performance of

dedicated physical security equipment was verified during inspections in

various plant areas.

The activities of the professional security force

in maintaining facility security protection were occasionally examined or

reviewed, and interviews were occasionally conducted with security force

members.

During the evening of October 1, 1991, the inspector observed various

drills designed to exercise the response capabilities of the licensee's

security force against terrorist infiltration of the facility.

The

professionalism and enthusiasm of the security personnel were noteworthy.

The drill scenarios appeared to be well planned, well executed, and a

valuable training tool.

No violations, deviations, unresolved or open items were identified.

10

7.

Reportable Events (92700, 92720)

The inspector reviewed the following Licensee Event Reports (LERs) by

means of direct observation, discussions with licensee personnel, and

review of records.

The review addressed compliance to reporting

requirements and, as applicable, that immediate corrective action and

appropriate action to prevent recurrence had been accomplished.

a.

(Closed) LER 90012:

Service Water to Control Room HVAC

(CRHVAC) Inadequate to Support CRHVAC Design Temperature Due to

Management Interview

The inspectors met with licensee representatives - denoted in Paragraph 1

- on November 7, 1991, to discuss the scope and findings of the

inspection.

In addition, the likely informational content of the

inspection report with regard to documents or processes reviewed by the

inspectors during the inspection was also discussed.

The licensee did

not identify any such documents/processes as proprietary.

11 ).

12

c.

d.

e.

f.

g.

(3)

The staging of equipment to perform a surveillance test

resulted in unnecessary compensatory measures (paragraph 5.a,

"Surveillance - ME-12").

The cited violation was discussed. The licensee stated in a previous

meeting and at the exit interview that it did not agree with the

violation.

The licensee was encouraged to discuss its views on the

matter with the NRC Region III section chief assigned to Palisades

(paragraph 2. b, "Ac~ion on Previously Identified Items").

The findings of the Configuration Control Project pertaining to the

Diesel Generators were discussed. The NRC EDSFI will review these

items during a future inspection (paragraph 3.c, "Operations - Diesel

Generator Operabi 1 ity").

The 10 CFR 50.72 notification was discussed. The inspector will

perform additional reviews when the LER is issued (paragraph 3.e,

"Operations - 50.72 Notifications").

The maintenance problem potentially involving wrong material

fasteners was discussed.
