SUMMARY

Scope:

This routine resident inspection was conducted on site in the areas of plant

operations, plant maintenance, plant surveillance, licensee event report

review, action on previous inspection findings, and licensee self assessment.

During the performance of this inspection, the resident inspector~ conducted

review of the licensee's backshift or weekend operations on July 1, 2, 8, 14,

15, and 28.

Results:

In the area of plant operations, the operators performance during the reactor

trip on July 1 was considered good; however, distractions that challenge

operator expertise should be minimized or eliminated.

These distractions

involve recurring problems in the instrument air system, individual rod

position indication, and the operation of main steam dump valves and indicated

that additional corrective actions were warranted in these areas (paragraph

3.f.(1)).

In the area of maintenance, a weakness was identified in the program for

planning and accomplishing of work. in a timely manner.

The issue involved

isolation of safety related equipment for a longer period of time than was

required to perform the maintenance activity (paragraph 4.a).

In the area of safety assessment/quality verification, the preparation and

conduct of safety committee meetings that were reviewed during this inspection

period has improved over past committee meetings that were monitored earlier

this year (paragraph 8).

Operational Safety Verification (71707 & 42700)

a .

Daily Inspections

The inspectors conducted daily inspections in the following areas:

control room staffing, access, and operator behavior; operalor

adherence to approved procedures, TS, and LCOs; examination of panels

b.

C.

2

containing instrumentation and other reactor protection system

elements to determine that required channels are operable; and review

of control room operator logs, operating orders, plant deviation

reports, tagout logs, temporary modification logs, and tags on

components to verify compliance with approved procedures.

The

inspectors also routinely accompanied station management on plant

tours and observed the effectiveness of their influence on activities

being performed by plant personnel.

Weekly Inspections

The inspectors conducted weekly inspections in the following areas:

operability verification of selected ESF systems by valve alignment,

breaker positions,

condition bf equipment or component,

and

operability of instrumentation and support items essential to system

actuation or performance. Plant tours were ~onducted which included

observation of general plant/equipment conditions, fire protection

and preventative measures, control of activities in progress,

radiation protection controls,

plant

housekeeping

conditions/

cleanliness, and missile hazards.

The inspectors routinely noted the

temperature of the AFW pump discharge piping to ensure increases in

temperature were being properly monitored and evaluated by the

licensee .

Biweekly Inspections

The inspectors conducted biweekly inspections in the following areas:

verification review and walkdown of safety-related tagouts in effect;

review of sampling program (e.g., primary and secondary coolant

samples, boric acid tank samples, plant liquid and gaseous samples);

observation of control room shift turnover; review of implementation

of the plant problem identification system; verification of selected

portions of containment isolation lineups; and verification that

notices to workers are posted as required by 10 CFR 19.

d.

Other Inspection Activities

Inspections included areas in the Units 1 and 2 cable vaults, vital

battery rooms, steam safeguards areas, emergency switchgear rooms,

diesel generator rooms, control room, auxiliary building, cable

penetration areas, independent spent fuel storage facility, low level

intake structure, and the safeguards valve pit and pump pit areas.

RCS leak rates were reviewed to ensure that detected or suspected

leakage from the system was recorded, investigated, and evaluated;

and that appropriate actions were taken, if required. The inspectors

routinely independently calculated RCS leak rates using the NRC

Independent Measurements Leak Rate Program (RCSLK9).

On a regular

basis,

RWPs were

reviewed,

and specific work activities were

monitored to assure they were being cond~cted per the RWPs.

Selected

radiation protection instruments were periodically checked, and

equipment operability and calibration frequency were verified.

3

On July 1, following the Unit 1 reactor trip, which is discussed

paragraph 3.f.(l), 2 of 8 main steam dump valves stuck. partially

open. After unit restart, the inspectors examined the Units 1 and 2

main steam dump valves. Results of this examination revealed t~at the

licensee had utilized a rubberized compound in the pack.ing area of

several main steam dump valves to prevent air leakage into the

condenser. This condition was brought to the attention of licensee

management.

The

licensee stated this would not affect valve

operation; however, the inspectors did not consider this type of

repair to be normal. The licensee was investigating a better type of

packing repair to resolve this issue which would be implemented

during upcoming outages. The inspectors will monitor future licensee

actions in this area as part of their routine outage inspection

activities.

During this inspection period, the inspectors observed operator

requalification program training.

The training included a scenario

on the simulator performed by the C operations team in which two non-

licensed operators were

used as emergency communicators

for

performing certain steps in the emergency

plan

implementing

procedure. The scenario involved a steam generator tube rupture with

other complications, such as a failed air ejector radiation monitor,

and the inability to manually initiate safety injection.

The

inspectors noted that the team detected the problems and properly

handled the scenario satisfactorily and in a reasonable period of

time.

The inspectors noted that the team detected the problem and

properly handled the scenario satisfactorily and in a reasonable

period of time.

During the latter part of the inspection period, several events

occurred which were brought to the inspectors attention by station

management.

These events included operational errors associated with

alignment of systems (CVCS

and chilled water) and unexpected

detection of gaseous releases through the monitored release path.

Although no TS LCOs or limits were reached, these multiple events

occurring over the last week. warrant further review and evaluation

and will be discussed in next month 1 s inspection report.

e.

Physical Security Program Inspections

In the course of monthly activities, the inspectors included a review

of the licensee 1 s physical security program.

The performance of

various shifts of the security force was observed in the conduct of

daily activities to include: protected and vital areas access

controls; searching of personnel, pack.ages and vehicles; badge

issuance and retrieval; escorting of visitors; and patrols and

compensatory posts.

No discrepancies were noted.

f.

Licensee 10 CFR 50.72 Reports*

(1)

On July 1, 1990 the licensee made a report in accordance with 10

CFR 50.72 concerning a Unit 1 reactor trip. At approximately

1802 hours0.0209 days <br />0.501 hours <br />0.00298 weeks <br />6.85661e-4 months <br />, on July 1, the A RSST input and output breakers

opened on a sudden pressure lockout signal. The transformer was

4

supplying normal power to the Unit lJ emergency 4160 volt bus.

The No. 3 EOG automatically started and the Unit lJ bus loaded

on the EOG as designed.

During the period of time that the

Unit lJ bus was deenergized, !RPI failed low and resulted in a

turbine runback from 100% power.

After !RPI was reenergized and

rod indication returned to normal, the runback signal cleared at

approximately 95% power.

At this time, operators noticed that

Unit 1 instrument air pressure was decreasing and dispatched an

operator to the air dryer location to investigate.

The

operator, upon arriving at the dryer location, noticed that the

Unit 1 air dryer was continually blowing down in an abnormal

manner.

The operator began to manually isolate the dryer from

the instrument air flowpath.

However, before the evolution

could be completed, Unit 1 was manually tripped when the control

room operator observed the C MSTV beginning to close. The MSTV

closure was due to the instrument air pressure reaching a point

where the valve began to drift shut.

After the reactor trip,

all three MSTVs went shut and the unit was stabilized in hot

shutdown with feedwater being supplied from the B MFP and C SG

PORV being used for decay heat removal.

The A RCP and the A MFP

lost power due to the A RSST not being available after the trip ..

All safety systems operated as designed. The B SG PORV did not

respond to demand and 3 of the 8 steam dump valves indicated

intermediate position after the unit was stabilized. Two of the

steam dump valves that indicated intermediate position were

later found to be stuck partially open.

Prior to the Unit 1 restart, corrective action was implemented

for each of the problems identified above.

The A RSST problem

was corrected. The packing was loosened on the two steam dump

valves that had stuck partially open. The position indication

limit switch was adjusted on the third steam dump valve and the

valves were then satisfactorily stroke tested.

The B SG PORV

controller was adjusted and the valve was satisfactorily

stroked. The licensee was not able to immediately identify the

cause of the instrument air dryer problem.

However, prior to

restart, interim corrective action was to have an operator

stationed at the IA area to bypass the dryers if they began to

blowdown and depressurize the instrument air system.

The inspectors monitored licensee immediate and corrective

actions prior to unit restart, reviewed the licensees post trip

review report, and observed selected restart evolutions.

The

operator's trip response was considered good; however, several

recurring equipment problems including instrument air dryer

problems, erratic individual rod position indication due to

momentary loss of power, and the operation of main steam dump

valves

indicated that additional corrective actions were

warranted to minimize or eliminate these problems.

Licensee

management al so recognized these recurring problems and was

planning corrective actions for each area.

On July 3, the unit

returned to power operation.

5

(2)

On May 12, 1990 the licensee made a report in accordance with 10

CFR 50.72 concerning a diesel oil spill of less than 10 gallons.

The spill occurred when a contractor's truck ran over a board in

the construction area causing a 3/8 inch fitting on the t~uck's

fuel tank to break. Approximately eight gallons of diesel oil,

which was not able to be recovered, leaked onto the dirt road in

the construction area

in

the

form

of a small

trail.

Approximately two gallons of diesel oil leaked from the truck at

the ISFSI pad.

The dirt where the two gallons of oil leaked was

removed and disposed of.

Diesel oil did not enter the waterway.

Within the areas inspected, no violations were identified.

4.

Maintenance Inspections (62703 & 42700)

During the reporting period, the inspectors reviewed maintenance

activities to assure compliance with the appropriate procedures.

Inspection areas included the following:

a.

Replacement of the Unit 1 TDAFW Pump Steam Supply SOVs

On July 10, the licensee replaced the ASCO SOVs to the Unit 1 TDAFW

pump main steam supply trip valves. These SOVs were replaced because

their EQ life had expired. Work orders 3800096886 and 3800096887 and

upgraded procedure O-EPM-2102-02,

ASCO Solenoid Valve Replacement,

dated May 24; 1990, were utilized to accomplish this maintenance.

After replacement, the SOVs were tested in accordance with procedure

1-PT:-I°5.1C, Turbine Driven Auxiliary Feedwater Pump, dated May 10,

1990.

The inspectors monitored the licensee's activities associated with

the replacement of the SOVs, including review of the maintenance area

isolation, work package, test results, and TS LCOs that were created

as a result of this maintenance. The inspectors visited the job site

and observed the craft plan the job using the upgraded O-EPM-2/02-02

procedure.

However, prior to performing the procedure, the craft

made several changes to it that involved torque values and

replacement of electrical connectors.

Since this procedure was

recently up-graded, the inspector specifically reviewed and examined

it in detail and after further investigation with regard to the

changes, the inspectors concluded that they were not necessary.

The

up-graded procedure could have been performed as it was written. The

inspectors considered that the changes, which were made at the

craft's request, were the results of poor and inadequate preplanning

for the job.

The job preplanning involved procedure review, changes and processing

of changes, staging of tools and parts that resulted in safety

related equipment being inoperable for approximately one shift longer

than necessary, however no LCD time constraints were exceeded.

The

isolation to accomplish this maintenance was established at 0539,

however, replacement of the SOVs did not commence until approximately

1545 hours0.0179 days <br />0.429 hours <br />0.00255 weeks <br />5.878725e-4 months <br /> on the same day.

The inspectors consider that activities

6

accomplished between 0539 and 1545 involving the above discrepancies

should have been identified during the prejob review.

The inspectors

ot,,

reviewed administrative procedure VPAP-2002, Work Requests and Work

Orders, dated July 1, 1990, and concluded that specific guidance on

minimizing out of service time on safety related components was not

addressed.

The inspectors discussed the delay in the start of work

on the subject components with station management.

Management agreed

that the subject maintenance activity experienced excessive delay in

the commencement of work after tagout of the safety related component

and were reviewing corrective actions when the inspection period

ended.

The inspectors consider that the excessive time involved in

commencing maintenance on safety related components after establish-

ment of isolation for the work is a weakness in the licensee's

program for planning and accomplishment of work.

b.

Repair of No. 2 Emergency Diesel Generator

On July 11, 1990, the licensee performed the quarterly exercise test

(2-PT-22.3M) on No. 2 EOG.

During this test a high temperature alarm

was received on the 1 ubri cat i ng oil system for the diesel.

The

cooling water alarm is set at 200 degrees Fahrenheit maximuM and the

actual water temperature reached 202 degrees.

Failure of the

periodic test placed the unit in a seven day LCO .

The licensee processed a work order to correct the high temperature

condition.

The corrective actions included replacement of the oil

cooler, cleaning of the radiator, repair of a small leak in the

cooling water to radiator piping, and replacement of the two cooling

water pumps.

The work was performed on work order no. 3800097762.

The inspectors reviewed applicable parts of the following procedures

which were used to perform the repairs:

- Procedure No. EE-EDG-M/Al, Emergency Diesel Generator Engine

One Year Service and Inspection, dated October 31, 1989

- Procedure No. EE-EDG-M/N3, Emergency Diesel Generator Engine

Six Year Service and Inspection, dated October 30, 1989

- Procedure No. MCM-1801-01, Piping/Components

Repair/Replacement, dated February 27,1990

The inspectors observed work in progress over a three day period of

time and observed the performing of the appropriate periodic test

used for returning the diesel to service.

No discrepancies were

noted.

Within the areas inspected, no violations were identified.

5.

Surveillance Inspections (61726 &'42700)

During the reporting period, the inspectors reviewed various surveillance

activities to assure compliance with the appropriate procedures as

follows:


~~~-~---

7

Test prerequisites were met.

Tests were performed in accordance with approved procedures.

Test procedures appeared to perform their intended function.

Adequate coordination existed among personnel involved in the test.

Test data was properly collected and recorded.

Inspection areas included the following:

- a.

Testing No. 2 Emergency Diesel Generator

b.

On July 14, 1990, the inspectors witnessed the performance of

periodic test 2-PT-22.3M, Diesel Generator No. 2 Quarterly Exercise

Test, dated December 12, 1990.

During the previous performance of

this test, the diesel failed to satisfy the test requirements because

of a high temperature in the lube oil system.

This condition

resulted in the repair to the cooling system which is discussed in

paragraph 4.b.

This test was being conducted after corrective

maintenance in order to return the diesel to service. The inspectors

observed testing in the diesel room including preparation for

starting, checking air starting system check valves and solenoids*

(IS! requirements), locally starting the diesel, performing diesel

oscilloscope test analysis, and recording of some of the test data.

The PT recorded a normal temperature for the lube oil cooling system

indicating that the maintenance activity had corrected the problem.

No discrepancies were identified.

Testing of Unit 2 Inside Recirculation Spray Pumps

On July 20, the inspectors witnessed the performance of periodic test

2-PT-17.2, Inside Recirculation Spray Pumps Test, dated October 25,

1989.

The purpose of this test was to verify operability of the

pumps as required by TS 4.5.B.l. The inspectors witnessed this test

from the Unit 2 swithgear room and reviewed the completed test

procedure.

2-PT-17.2 requires that the inside recirculation pump

vibration alarm be monitored during the test and if the alarm

persists, the pump is required to be immediately stopped.

The

inspectors asked what the alarm setpoint value was and if the pump's

vibration sensors were routinely calibrated. The licensee responded

that there were no procedures that routinely calibrated the vibration

instrumentation and that the alarm setpoint value was not immediately

available.

The

inspectors

reviewed the vibration detectors'

technical manual which specifies that the alarm setpoint value could

be adjusted to a. range of values and also contains instructions to

calibrate the detector.

The inspectors noted that the 1 i censee I s

inservice test program states that the inside recirculation - spray

pumps are equipped with a vibration detector and a high vibration

alarm in the control room and that this alarm would be observed

during each pump test. The inspectors consider that since the inside

recirculation pumps are safety related equipment and the inservice

c.

8

test program takes credit for this alarm during pump testing, the

vibration detector should be calibrcted and the alarm setpoint be set

at a conservative value. The licensee was evaluating the inspectors*

concerns in this area.

This wi 11 be foll owed up during subsequent

inspections

Testing of Unit 1, A Inside Recirculation Spray Pump

The inspectors noticed that on July 25, 1990, a 72 hour8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br /> hot shutdown

LCD was entered pending amperage reading evaluations on Unit 1 inside

recirculation spray pump A.

The pump was run for a period of 30

seconds maximum and the amperage on each of the three phases was

measured.

The three readings are required to have a minimum average

value of 109 amps.

When the abeve test was performed the average

amperage value was approximately 0.3 amp below 109 amps.

The

licensee recalibrated the meters used in the test and found one of*

the meters was reading ten percent 1 ower than the actua 1 value and

another meter was reading approximately three percent lower.

These

meters were reca 1 i brated and were used to re-perform the periodic

test. The inspectors witnessed the re-performance of this test, which

also was performed on July 25th, and observed that the amperages were

in the proper range.

Procedure l-PT-17.2, Inside Recirculation Spray

Pump Test, dated October 25, 1989 was used for these tests.

No

discrepancies were noted.

Within the areas inspected, no violations were identified.

6.

Licensee Event Report Review

(92700)

The inspector reviewed the LER 1 s listed below to ascertain whether NRC

reporting requirements were being met and to evaluate initial adequacy of

the corrective actions. The inspector 1s review also included followup on

implementation of corrective action and review of licensee documentation

that all required corrective actions were complete.

(Closed) LER 281/89-05, Unplanned ESF Component Actuation, Closure of 1A1

and

1C1 Condenser Waterbox Circulating Water Inlet Valves.

The issue

involved unexpected closure of valves during testing of the turbine

building flood control circuitry.

Immediate response included operator

actions to maintain intake canal level within the normal operating band.

, The event was caused by the actuation of a relay that was recently

replaced.

The *licensee 1 s review of the event determined that the new

relay, which was different from the old relay, required on electrical

circuit modification

for

proper system operation.

A subsequent

modification was made to the electrical circuit for the new relay and

verified proper operation by testing.

In addition, an evaluation was

conducted to determine how the new relay was initially installed without

the required circuit modifications.

This evaluation determined that a

substitute part had been provided by the vendor which did not have the

exact electrical characteristics of the old part. Therefore, use of the

new replacement part on this non-safety related maintenance activity was

not challenged.

Since this occurrence, the procurement process has been

changed to assure that adequate reviews are accomplished for all parts.

9

The inspector reviewed the licensee 1 s actions associated with this event

and held several discussions with station supervision and engineering

personnel in reviewing this area.

7.

Action on Previous Inspection findings

(92701, 92702)

a.

(Closed) Violation 280, 281/87-06-01, Failure to Follow Procedure.

b.

C.

This issue involved maintenance activities that were not properly

completed or documented.

The licensee responded to this violation in

a letter dated July 17, 1987.

In that letter, the licensee stated

that corrective action involved correction of the deficiencies

identified, meetings between mintenance personnel

and

station

management where the importance of procedural adherence and proper

documentation were discussed, .p.nd the formation of teams that

reviewed completed work packages for completion.

The inspectors

verified that the corrective actions were implemented.

(Closed)

Violation 280/89-21-01,

Failure to Provide Adequate

Procedure and/or Instructions for the Calibration of Instrumentation.

The violation was identified in Inspection Report 280, 281/89-21.

In

that report, the cause of the Unit 1 reactor trip that occurred on

July 9, 1989 was attributed to the I&C technicians* improper use of

an

ungrounded volt meter during recalibration of the NI flux

setpoints.

The licensee responded to this violation in a letter

dated October 2, 1989.

In that letter, the licensee stated that

in-house and operations experience review reports involving the

misuse of test equipment were reviewed and incorporated into lesson

plans taught to the technicians and that the instrument technician

development training program was revised to include instruction on

the used of grounded/ungrounded test equipment.

The inspectors

reviewed these revised training plans and consider that the

licensee 1 s corrective action was adequate.

(Closed) URI 280, 281/89-21-05, Review of Licensee* s Program for

Implementing TS Requirements.

The issue was discussed in inspection

report 280, 281/89-21.

In that report a potential problem was

identified with regards to the normal implementation and review/audit

functions for implementation of TS requirements due to changes.

Since identification of this issue, the licensee has completed a

review of the TS and did not discover any additional discrepancies

with regards to TS requirements.

However, in order to assure that

the process of changing the TS would be adequately controlled, the

licensee implemented administrative requirements to provide guidance

so that changes to TS are processed in an orderly and expedient

manner

and

that adequate documentation is maintained.

These

requirements are addressed in SUADM-LR-05, Technical Speci fi cation

Changes.

The

inspector

reviewed

administrative

procedure

SUADM-LR-05,

Revision 2 dated June 7, 1990 and considers that

adequate administrative controls are in place to assure that TS

requirements are implemented at the station.

Review of Licensee Self Assessment Capability (40500)

During this inspection period, the inspectors attended several onsite

safety committee (SNSOC) meeting~ and evaluated the licensee's onsite

program for continuing review of the operational and safety aspects of the

nuclear facility as required by TS 6.1.C. The inspectors attended SNSOC

meetings on July 17, 19, and 24 and made the following observations:

The inspectors reviewed the TS requirements and verified that the

meeting was in compliance with respect to composition, quorum,

meeting frequency, and review responsibilities.

On

July

17,

the committee

reviewed proposed administrative

procedures, procedure revisions 1 deviation report closeouts, and one

root cause evaluation associated with ESW pump 1-SW-P-18 failure to

start.

On July 19, the committee reviewed several engineering work requests

and design change packages which are* scheduled to be implemented

during the upcoming Un it 1 outage, two security training pl an

changes, several deviation report packages for closeout, one root

cause evaluation associated with reactor trips of both units on

May 22, 1990, and several operations and maintenance completed

procedures or procedure changes.

On July 24, the committee reviewed a design change package for

control room modifications.

In addition, the station QA supervisor

for audits presented the results of a corporate QA audit in the area

of fitness for duty.

The inspectors specifically noted that control of the committee review

process was well coordinated by the chairman. Only one issue or item was

focused on by all committee members at one time, and members appeared to

be familiar with most of the items dis~ussed due to advance routing of the

review packages.

The inspectors discussed review of agenda items that

were distributed prior to the meeting with several committee members. The

members considered that the agenda packages were distributed in a timely

manner and that there was adequate time available to review the

information prior to the meetings.

The inspectors consider that the

preparation and conduct of SNSOC committee meetings, which were reviewed

during this inspection period, are an improvement over past committee

meetings which were monitored.earlier this calendar year.

On July 17, 1990 the inspectors attended a meeting of the licensee's MSRC

which was being held at the Surry Power Station.

The MSRC has been

identified in a pending TS change as the offsite review committee which

will replace the current IOER group currently required by TS 6.2.

The

MSRC is comprised of senior corporate and station management as well as

several industry consultants.

Areas of discussion included 10 CFR 50.59

training, proposed TS changes, summaries on nuclear safety, IDER reports,

and QA audits, and other special reports associated with requested action

i terns.

The inspector noted that the committee appeared to be fully

functional and capable of accomplishing the required independent reviews.

Exit Interview

~

The inspection scope and results were summarized on August 1, 1990 with

those individuals identified by an asterisk in paragraph 1.

The folJowing

summary of inspection activity was discussed by the inspectors during this

exit.

In the area of plant operations, the operators performance during the

reactor trip on July 1 was considered good; however, recurring operator

distractions including instrument air problems, individual rod position

indication~ and the operation of main steam dump valves indicated that

additional corrective actions were warranted in these areas.

In the area of maintenance, a weakness was identified in the program for

planning and accomplishing of work in"a.timely manner.

The issue involved

isolation of safety related equipment for a period of time longer than was

required to perform the maintenance activity.

In the area of safety assessment/quality verification, the preparation and

conduct of SNSOC committee meetings reviewed during this inspection period

were improved over past committee meetings that were monitored earlier

this year.

Licensee management was informed of the items closed in paragraphs 6

and 7.

The licensee acknowledged the inspection conclusions with no dissenting

comments.

The licensee did not. identify as proprietary any of the

materials provided to or reviewed by the *inspectors during this

inspection.
