SUMMARY
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) continued monitoring the licensees performance by conducting an integrated inspection at Columbia Generating Station in accordance with the Reactor Oversight Process. The Reactor Oversight Process is the NRCs program for overseeing the safe operation of commercial nuclear power reactors. Refer to https://www.nrc.gov/reactors/operating/oversight.html for more information. Findings and violations being considered in the NRCs assessment are summarized in the table below.
List of Findings and Violations Failure to Maintain Configuration Control in the Diesel Generator 2 Diesel Cooling Water System Cornerstone Significance Cross-cutting Report Aspect Section Mitigating Green H.12 - Avoid 71111.15 Systems NCV 05000397/2018002-01 Complacency Closed The inspectors reviewed a self-revealed, Green, non-cited violation of Technical Specification 5.4.1.a for the licensees failure to perform maintenance in accordance with written procedures appropriate to the circumstances. Specifically, on April 9, 2018, the licensee inadvertently bumped and partially opened a diesel cooling water valve, DCW-V-8B2, while operating a nearby demineralized water valve, DW-V-14B2, as part of work activities under Work Request (WR) 29127677, and rendered diesel generator 2 inoperable and unavailable.
PLANT STATUS
The plant began the inspection period at 100 percent rated thermal power. On April 19, 2018, the reactor unit was down powered to 98 percent due to feedwater heater 2C level control failure. On April 20, 2018, the unit was down powered further to 85 percent for troubleshooting.
The unit returned to rated thermal power on April 21, 2018.
On April 27, 2018, the reactor unit was down powered to 85 percent for economic dispatch from Bonneville Power Administration. The unit returned to rated thermal power on April 30, 2018.
On May 18, 2018, the reactor unit automatically scrammed due to a load reject from a grid disturbance. The unit was restarted and synched to the grid on May 24, 2018. Reactor power was raised to 65 percent on May 25, 2018, and remained at 65 percent for economic dispatch from Bonneville Power Administration. The unit returned to rated thermal power on June 11, 2018.
On June 12, 2018, the unit was down powered to 98 percent due to trip of the 2C feedwater heater. On June 14, 2018, the unit was down powered to 85 percent to repair the 2C feedwater level controller. On June 15, 2018, the unit was down powered to 78 percent due to subsequent trips of the 3C and 4C feedwater heaters. After maintenance, the reactor returned to rated thermal power on June 15,
INSPECTION SCOPES
Inspections were conducted using the appropriate portions of the inspection procedures (IPs) in effect at the beginning of the inspection unless otherwise noted. Currently approved IPs with their attached revision histories are located on the public website at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/doc-collections/insp-manual/inspection-procedure/index.html.
Samples were declared complete when the IP requirements most appropriate to the inspection activity were met consistent with Inspection Manual Chapter (IMC) 2515, Light-Water Reactor Inspection Program - Operations Phase. The inspectors performed plant status activities described in IMC 2515 Appendix D, Plant Status and conducted routine reviews using IP 71152, Problem Identification and Resolution.

INSPECTION RESULTS
Failure to Maintain Configuration Control in the Diesel Generator 2 Diesel Cooling Water System Cornerstone Significance Cross-cutting Report Aspect Section Mitigating Green H.12 - Avoid 71111.15 Systems NCV 05000397/2018002-01 Complacency Closed The inspectors reviewed a self-revealed, Green, non-cited violation of Technical Specification 5.4.1.a for the licensees failure to perform maintenance in accordance with written procedures appropriate to the circumstances. Specifically, on April 9, 2018, the licensee inadvertently bumped and partially opened a diesel cooling water valve, DCW-V-8B2, while operating a nearby demineralized water valve, DW-V-14B2, as part of work activities under Work Request (WR) 29127677, and rendered diesel generator 2 inoperable and unavailable.
Description:
On April 9, 2018, while operating demineralized water valve DW-V-14B2, maintenance personnel inadvertently bumped and partially opened diesel cooling water valve DCW-V-8B2. The maintenance personnel completed their work activities, cleaned up the work area, and returned to the shop, unaware that their actions resulted in the partial opening of DCW-V-8B2. Meanwhile, the accidental opening of this diesel cooling water valve caused the diesel generator 2 diesel cooling water expansion tank to drain into a nearby floor drain.
Approximately 40 minutes later, the main control room received a diesel generator 2 local panel trouble alarm. Operations personnel responded to the alarm, found the diesel cooling water valve out of position (partially open), and closed the valve. During this event, the tank level reached -4.5 inches, which is outside the normal standby lineup band of +2 to +6 inches.
This rendered diesel generator 2 inoperable and caused an unplanned entry into Technical Specification 3.8.1 for one required diesel generator inoperable. The licensee restored the required water level within 40 minutes of declaring the diesel inoperable. The licensee then verified the diesel was in the proper standby lineup and restored the diesel to operable status approximately 2 hours2.314815e-5 days <br />5.555556e-4 hours <br />3.306878e-6 weeks <br />7.61e-7 months <br /> later. Subsequently, the licensee initiated an investigation of the event that stated the diesel generator was rendered unavailable because it would not have been able to complete its 24-hour mission time with the open diesel cooling water valve. The diesel generator would have started, loaded, and overheated in approximately 10 minutes without a credited cooling water makeup source. Total unavailability time accrued was 86 minutes.
Procedure 1.3.81, Maintaining Plant Component Status Control, Revision 12, ensures plant component status control is maintained. Step 5.5.2 states that personnel performing work in the plant that are given permission to manipulate the plant are required to accept responsibility for, and are accountable for, maintaining plant component status control. Step 6.6.2.d states, in part, that electrical, mechanical, and instrumentation and control maintenance personnel manipulate components only as specified in approved procedures and work packages that have been authorized by the shift manager or designee.
The inspectors noted that step 6.1 of Procedure MI-1.8, Conduct of Maintenance, Revision 70, directs all maintenance personnel to use and adhere to the station error prevention tools as described in Procedure STANDARD-01. Procedure STANDARD-01, Worker Error Prevention Tools, Revision 10, step 3.3 states, in part, that station personnel are responsible for performing work activities using the error prevention tools in accordance with this standard. Section 4.0 details the fundamental human performance tools workers apply during work activities to help them maintain positive control, regardless of their perception of the risk. For example, Section 4.2 describes the Take 2 error prevention tool.
Step 4.2.1 states, in part, that Take 2 is a jobsite review done when first arriving at the jobsite.
The worker develops an accurate understanding of the work environment by taking time to become acquainted with the immediate work area. Step 4.2.4.a instructs the worker to review the Take 2 lanyard or job aid. The Take 2 job aid lists several questions to engage the worker. Question 7 asks, Is there a component misposition or bump hazard in the work area (2 ft zone)? If yes, engage Operations. The licensees event investigation indicated that the maintenance personnel conducted a Take 2 upon arriving at the jobsite but did not refer to their Take 2 job aid.
Notwithstanding the plant procedure for preventing inadvertent operation of equipment, the inspectors noted that WR 29127677 did not contain the necessary controls to ensure that safety-related equipment was not adversely affected during maintenance.
Corrective Actions: The licensees corrective actions included immediately closing the diesel cooling water valve, replenishing the diesel cooling water level, restoring diesel generator 2 to operable status, and completing an event investigation.
Corrective Action Reference(s): Action Request 378835
Performance Assessment:
Performance Deficiency: The failure to perform maintenance in accordance with documented instructions appropriate to the circumstances was a performance deficiency.
Screening: The performance deficiency was more than minor, and therefore a finding, because it was associated with the configuration 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 (i.e., core damage). Specifically, on April 9, 2018, the licensee inadvertently bumped and partially opened a diesel cooling water valve, DCW-V-8B2, while operating a nearby demineralized water valve, DW-V-14B2, as part of work activities under WR 29127677, and rendered diesel generator 2 inoperable and unavailable.
Significance: The inspectors assessed the significance of the finding using Inspection Manual Chapter 0609, Attachment 04, Initial Characterization of Findings, and Appendix A, The Significance Determination Process (SDP) for Findings At-Power, Exhibit 2, Mitigating Systems Screening Questions, dated June 19, 2012. The inspectors determined the finding was of very low safety significance (Green) because all of the screening questions were answered in the negative.
Cross-cutting Aspect: This finding has a cross-cutting aspect in the area of human performance, avoid complacency, in that the licensee failed to implement appropriate error reduction tools and recognize and plan for the possibility of mistakes, latent issues, and inherent risk, even while expecting successful outcomes. Specifically, licensee staff failed to implement the guidance found in the Take 2 card which demonstrated complacency in the perceived lack of intrusiveness of the work [H.12].
Enforcement:
Violation: Technical Specification 5.4.1.a requires, in part, that written procedures shall be established, implemented, and maintained covering the applicable procedures recommended in Appendix A of Regulatory Guide 1.33, Revision 2. Section 9.a of Appendix A of Regulatory Guide 1.33, Revision 2, requires, in part, that maintenance that can affect the performance of safety-related equipment should be performed in accordance with documented instructions appropriate to the circumstances. The licensee established Procedure 1.3.81, Maintaining Plant Component Status Control, Revision 12, to meet the Regulatory Guide 1.33 requirement. Step 6.6.2.d states, in part, that electrical, mechanical, and instrumentation and control maintenance personnel manipulate components only as specified in approved procedures and work packages that have been authorized by the shift manager or designee.
Contrary to the above, on April 9, 2018, the licensee did not manipulate components only as specified in approved procedures and work packages that had been authorized by the shift manager or designee. Specifically, the licensee inadvertently bumped and partially opened diesel cooling water valve DCW-V-8B2 as part of work activities under WR 29127677, and rendered diesel generator 2 inoperable and unavailable.
Disposition: This violation is being treated as a non-cited violation, consistent with Section 2.3.2.a of the NRC Enforcement Policy.
Observation
71152 - Semiannual Trend Review
The inspectors performed an in-depth review of the licensees evaluation and corrective actions related to human performance issues. Since the end of refueling outage RF23 in June 2017, the licensee has initiated multiple condition reports documenting human performance errors. The licensee had also identified an adverse trend as documented in Action Requests 377654, 377416, and 378892.
This review focused on condition reports that documented plant component status control errors and failures to follow procedures. While many of the human performance issues were of minor significance, several resulted in NRC documented findings:
- FIN 05000397/2017004-02, Failure to Follow Procedure Results in Isolation of Reactor Feedwater Minimum Flow Lines. (ADAMS Accession Number ML18036B104)
- NCV 05000397/2018001-01, Failure to Follow Procedure Leads to Loss of Secondary Containment. (ADAMS Accession Number ML18116A407)
- NCV 05000397/2018002-01, Failure to Maintain Configuration Control in the Diesel Generator 2 Diesel Cooling Water System. (Section 71111.15 of this report)
The inspectors noted that the licensee appropriately considered extent of condition and cause when scheduling corrective action assignments. These actions included a site-wide initiative to identify and eliminate any potential plant component status control hazards and a supervisor observation blitz that focused on human performance behaviors such as pre-job briefs, use of the Take 2 card, procedure use and adherence, and supervisory oversight. The inspectors assessed the licensees problem identification threshold, cause analyses, and compensatory actions. The inspectors verified that the licensee appropriately prioritized the planned corrective actions and that these actions were adequate to correct the condition.
EXIT MEETINGS AND DEBRIEFS
The inspectors verified no proprietary information was retained or documented in this report.
The inspectors confirmed that proprietary information was controlled to protect from public disclosure.
On April 5, 2018, the inspectors presented the results from the routine ISFSI inspection to Mr. G. Hettel, Vice President of Operations (title at the time of the ISFSI inspection, but subsequently assumed the title of Senior Vice President and Chief Nuclear Officer), and other members of the licensee staff.
On May 24, 2018, the inspectors presented the baseline radiation protection inspection results to Mr. G. Hettel, Senior Vice President and Chief Nuclear Officer, and other members of the licensee staff.
