PLANT STATUS

Unit 1 was shut down for planned refueling outage cycle 21 (1R21), at the beginning of the inspection period. The unit was restarted on October 4, 2018, but was manually tripped during low power physics testing due to a rod control failure. After troubleshooting and repair of the rod control failure, the unit was restarted on October 6, 2018, and attained full reactor thermal power (RTP) on October 9, 2018, where it operated for the remainder of the quarter.

Unit 2 operated at or near full RTP for the entire inspection period.

INSPECTION SCOPES

Inspections were conducted using the inspection procedure (IP) 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. The inspectors performed plant status activities described in Inspection Manual Chapter (IMC) 2515 Appendix D, Plant Status and conducted routine reviews using IP 71152, Problem Identification and Resolution.

INSPECTION RESULTS

Failure to Follow Work Instructions for Checking Lube Oil Level in Nuclear Service Cooling Water Fan Gearbox Cornerstone Significance Cross-cutting Report Aspect Section Mitigating Green NCV [H.5] - Work 71152 Systems05000424/2018004-001 Management Opened/Closed

Introduction:

A Green self-revealing NCV of TS 5.4.1.a, Procedures, was identified for the licensees failure to check NSCW fan gearbox lube oil level in accordance with work instructions. As a result, the licensee failed to identify a low lubricating oil condition on the unit 1 A train NSCW fan no. 1 which ultimately led to failure of the fan on July 4, 2018.

Description:

The NSCW cooling towers are mechanical induced draft towers that function as the ultimate heat sink for Vogtle Electric Generating Plant (VEGP). Each reactor unit has two 100-percent capacity towers, each consisting of four draft fans that provide heat removal from safety related components during a transient or accident, as well as during normal operations. Each NSCW fan is driven by a 100-horse power motor via a right-angle gearbox.

The fans cycle on/off based on NSCW return header water temperature.

On July 4, 2018 the Unit 1 A train NSCW tower fan no. 1 motor breaker tripped due to a failure of the fans gearbox. During removal and inspection, the licensee noted the gearbox was low on lube oil with only half of the required oil volume (19.5 gallons.) Oil residue was noted on the gearbox mounting pedestal, but no apparent source of the leak was identified.

Heavy burnt oil residue was also noted on top of the gearbox at the vent breather and input shaft seal. The gearbox was determined to have failed due to a failed bearing caused by lack of lubrication. The licensee determined the oil loss was most likely attributed to leakage from the gearbox inspection port cover gasket. Following enough oil loss, the oils heat removal capacity was reduced (i.e. less oil volume), causing it to become hotter and resulting in the burnt oil residue observed at the top of the gearbox vent and input shaft seal. The hotter oil temperature resulted in

(1) additional oil loss and
(2) lower oil viscosity until gearbox failure on July 4, 2018.

The inspectors reviewed the licensees quarterly lube oil check maintenance history of the failed fan. The inspectors noted that maintenance technicians had just checked the oil level 11 days prior to the failure, on June 23, 2018, with satisfactory results (work order no.

SNC936531). The work order provided a one-step instruction to verify acceptable oil levels and made reference to the vendor technical manual AX4AD02-00147. The inspectors reviewed the gearbox vendor manual instructions for checking oil level and noted that the vendor called for stopping the gearbox to allow the oil to stabilize before checking the oil.

The inspectors reviewed operational fan data from the plant computer for June 23, 2018 and noted that none of the running fans (fans no.1 and no. 2) on the 1A NSCW tower were stopped in support of checking the oil. On September 13, 2018 the inspectors observed maintenance technicians check gearbox oil levels for both Unit 1 NSCW towers via a remote oil gauge tube with a dipstick. The inspectors noted each remote oil tube had a metal placard with instructions, consistent with the vendor manual, on how to check oil level. When attempting to measure oil level of the running fans the inspectors noted the dipstick wasnt long enough to reach the top of the oil in the tube. Checking level with the fan running resulted in a level drop in the remote oil gauge tube due to the oil being picked up by rotating component inside the gearbox. This was a known behavior and technicians expected a lower oil level on running fans; however, because the dipstick wasnt long enough, determination of adequate oil level was a qualitative judgment based on the technicians visual assessment (i.e. looking down a narrow oil tube) of the oil level. The inspectors independently assessed oil levels for a sample of the running fans and determined that the practice was subjective, imprecise, and inconsistent with the work instructions. An accurate measurement was required because the difference between an acceptable and an out-of-specification oil level condition was just one

(1) inch. In addition, the inspectors noted there was no evaluated criteria for acceptable and/or low oil levels on a running fan.

Based on an assessment of the as-found outside housing conditions of the failed gearbox, the amount of lost oil, no indication of a sudden oil leak source, and the significant buildup of burnt oil on top of the gearbox the inspectors determined that the gearbox had operated under low oil conditions for some time and was most likely low when it was checked on June 23, 2018. Because the oil level wasnt properly checked per the work order instructions, technicians failed to identify the low oil condition and the fan subsequently failed.

The inspectors expanded their review to other fans and noted that since the licensee began measuring oil levels, in May 2018, running fans were not being stopped in support of checking oil level. Maintenance technicians indicated that shutting down the fans required operations support, which was normally not available when requested.

Corrective Action(s): The licensee entered this issue into their corrective action program under condition report (CR) 10545066. The licensee verified that all (Units 1 and 2) NSCW fan gearboxes had adequate oil levels by stopping the fans. Additionally, the licensee revised the preventative maintenance instructions to include more detailed steps and operations support requirements to stop fans in support of the lube oil checks.

Performance Assessment:

Performance Deficiency: The failure to check NSCW tower fan gearbox oil level in accordance with written documented instructions was a performance deficiency.

Screening: The inspectors determined the performance deficiency was more than minor because it was associated with the equipment performance 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. Specifically, the performance deficiency resulted in the licensees failure to restore proper oil levels of Unit 1 NSCW fan no.1 and contributed to the subsequent lack of lubrication failure on July 4, 2018.

Significance: The inspectors assessed the significance of the finding using Inspection Manual Chapter 0609, Appendix A, The Significance Determination Process (SDP) for Findings At-Power, dated June 19, 2012. The inspectors determined that the finding required a detailed risk evaluation because it involved an actual loss of function of at least a single train for greater than its technical specification allowed outage time. A detailed risk evaluation was performed using the NRC Vogtle SPAR model which considered the PD as a non-recoverable common-cause fail to run of the NSCW tower fan for an exposure of 12 days. The dominant sequence was a small loss of coolant accident initiator, successful reactor trip, success of auxiliary feedwater, success of high pressure injection, failure of secondary side cooling, and failure of high pressure recirculation leading to a loss of core heat removal and core damage. The risk assessment determined that the PD represented a risk increase of less than 1.0E-6 per year in core damage frequency. Therefore, this violation was of very low safety significance (Green).

Cross-cutting Aspect: The inspectors determined the finding had a cross-cutting aspect of "Work Management" in the Human Performance area because, for this maintenance activity, the organization did not implement a process of planning, controlling, and executing such that nuclear safety was the overriding priority. Specifically, the work process did not identify the need for operations support (i.e. stopping and starting fans) in order to adequately accomplish the work. [H.5]

Enforcement:

Violation: Technical Specification 5.4.1.a, "Procedures," required, in part, that written procedures covering the applicable procedures recommended in Appendix A to Regulatory Guide 1.33, "Quality Assurance Program Requirements," of February 1978, shall be implemented. Regulatory Guide 1.33, Appendix A, Item 9 required, in part, that maintenance activities that can affect the performance of safety-related equipment should be performed in accordance with written documented instructions.

Contrary to the above, since May 2018, the licensee failed to perform maintenance activities to check the oil level for the NSCW tower fan gearboxes in accordance with written documented instructions. Specifically, the licensee failed to stop NSCW fans and allow the lube oil to stabilize before checking oil level as documented in the work order and field installed instructions.

Disposition: This violation is being treated as an NCV, consistent with Section 2.3.2 of the Enforcement Policy.

Unresolved Item Calibration of Containment High-range Area Radiation 71124.05 (Open) Monitors URI 05000424/425/2018004-02

Description:

During a review of recent isotopic calibration records for the U1 containment high-range area radiation monitors 1RE-0005 and 1RE-0006, the inspectors noticed that both detectors were found out of tolerance (26.5 R/hr and 25.1 R/hr versus an acceptance criteria of 17 R/hr +-

20%), and as a result, the gains were adjusted down. Discussions with the licensee revealed that a new tripod mount had been used for the first time to hold the cesium (Cs-137)calibration source in place and that this may have contributed to the as-found conditions.

From further discussions and a review of records, the inspectors determined that this particular calibration source was not designed for use with the licensees long, narrow, high-range ion chamber tubes. To resolve this, the licensee had removed the fixed-geometry metal hanger from the calibration source housing several years ago. Therefore, a fixed, reproducible, source-to-detector geometry was never established and there was no transfer data available from the manufacturer that would describe the detectors response characteristics to this particular source. To compensate for this, the licensee periodically performed a re-dedication of the calibration source in the count room laboratory. This consisted of irradiating a calibrated, small-volume ion chamber on a benchtop in order to estimate the distance from the exposed calibration source that would result in 17 R/hr. This distance was then estimated in the field by attempting to accurately measure the distance between the shielded housing cylinder of the calibration source and the cylindrical ion chamber detection tubes. Since small changes in source-to-detector geometry for a point source can significantly impact detector response, the licensees source re-dedication methodology and in-field measurements process may have introduced unintended error during each calibration surveillance. Therefore, it is possible that 1RE-0005, 1RE-0006, 2RE-0005, and 2RE-0006 were not being maintained so that they met the +- 20% accuracy requirement described in FSAR Chapter 12. The inspectors noted these monitors are used to provide indication that an Emergency Action Level threshold has been reached and that the regulations in 10 CFR 20.1501 require them to be calibrated for the radiation measured.

Planned Closure Action(s): In order to close this URI, the licensee will need to evaluate whether the containment high-range area radiation monitors are reliably accurate to within +/-

20% of the actual radiation field, and if they are not, determine the degree of error. The NRC acknowledges that such an evaluation might be difficult or even impossible using purely analytical methods, so it is expected that new empirical data will be obtained. The evaluation should address the following items:

1) The effect of error propagation due to: acceptance criteria tolerances during source re-dedication, and distance measurement errors both on the benchtop and in the field.

2) Given that the high-range ion chamber detector tubes are 9 inches long and 1.25 inches wide and that the calibration point source is currently held 1.9375 inches from the detector, what are the effects of uneven irradiation of the active detection volume on monitor response?

3) There were multiple instances over the past 10 years where it was determined that the source-to-detector distance could remain unchanged from one 18-month surveillance to the next (i.e. acceptance criteria for benchtop re-dedication was met) and the target dose rate of 17 R/hr was still acceptable. In effect then, the Cs-137 source was not decay-corrected from one surveillance to the next during those time periods. What additional error was introduced by failing to account for radioactive decay?

Licensee Action(s): Licensee is currently analyzing the condition and no action has been taken to date. Actions will be taken based on licensee evaluation results.

Corrective Action Reference(s): CR 10569547 Unresolved Item Calibration Surveillance Extension of Post Accident 71111.22 (Open) Monitoring Instruments URI 05000424/425/2018004-03

Description:

The inspectors reviewed surveillance test interval (STI) evaluation number TE 999226. The STI evaluation approved (March 2018) the extension of the CHANNEL CALIBRATION surveillance interval associated with Technical Specification (TS) Limiting Condition of Operation (LCO) 3.3.3, Post Accident Monitoring System (PAMS) Instrumentation from 18 months to 18 months Staggered (i.e. 36 months per instrument channel). The scope of the evaluation included the following PAMS instruments:

(1) containment normal sumps level (narrow range,)
(2) containment water level (wide range,)
(3) containment radiation level monitors (high range,) and
(4) steam line radiation monitor. Section D.1 of the evaluation documented the results of the surveillance test history review for the associated instruments, as required by the surveillance test interval evaluation instructions procedure NMP-ES-072-002. The inspectors noted that the review identified 12 Out-of-Tolerance (OOT) conditions that required instrument adjustments to within acceptable limits before placing it back in service. The licensee characterized these OOT instances as being associated with electrical equipment drift caused by environmental conditions (e.g., changes in temperature and humidity) and other factors dependent upon application. Furthermore, the licensee noted that OOT conditions were normal and to be expected. The inspectors were concerned that no additional evaluation (i.e. drift analysis, As-found/As-Left) was performed to demonstrate and provide confidence that doubling the calibration interval would not result in an increased number of OOT conditions for the associated instruments. The licensee indicated that drift analyses were not performed for this STI evaluation because their instrument setpoint monitoring program did not require these instruments to be monitored for drift. The inspectors determined that because the licensee attributed the identified OOT conditions to drift (i.e.

these instruments were susceptible to drift), Section D.1 of the STI should have evaluated the instruments historical drift performance (or equivalent evaluation) in order to demonstrate that there will not be an adverse impact on the instruments required range and accuracy over the proposed STI change.

Additionally, the inspectors noted that the STI evaluation extended the calibration interval for the electronics portion of the containment and steam line radiation monitors. In order to meet the CHANNEL CALIBRATION surveillance requirements for these radiation monitors, both the electronic and isotopic calibration must be conducted to demonstrate operability of the detector. The inspectors were concerned with the acceptability of satisfying the calibration surveillance requirement while having different calibration intervals for individual instrument sub-components.

Planned Closure Action(s): To close this URI, the licensee will need to evaluate the historical drift performance or equivalent, such as a review of as-found/as-left data, of the affected instruments over the proposed STI change in order demonstrate that the instruments will be expected to perform at the required accuracy and range.

In addition to the historical analysis described above, further evaluation is needed for the containment high-range area radiation monitors and steam line radiation monitors. Since multiple surveillance procedures are used to perform the calibrations on these devices, each with different surveillance frequencies, the licensee must determine at which point in the process an acceptable calibration has been completed (and TS requirements have been met). In addition, the licensee must evaluate the effects of multiple potential calibration adjustments over a 36-month period (potentially two gain adjustments due to isotopic calibrations for every high-range electronic calibration) on overall detector performance.

Licensee Action(s): Licensee has entered the issue into their CAP program and are performing an analysis to meet the URI closure actions listed.
