SUBJECT:
PRAIRIE ISLAND NUCLEAR GENERATING PLANT, UNITS 1 AND 2NRC INTEGRATED INSPECTION REPORT 05000282/2018004 AND 05000306/2018004
Dear Mr. Sharp:
On December 31, 2018, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed an inspection at your Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plant, Units 1 and 2. On January 10 and 22, 2019, the NRC inspectors discussed the results of this inspection with you and other members of your staff. The results of this inspection are documented in the enclosed report.
Based on the results of this inspection, the NRC has identified one issue that was evaluated under the risk significance determination process as having very low safety significance (Green). The NRC has also determined that one violation was associated with this issue.
Because the licensee initiated condition reports to address this issue, this violation is being treated as a Non-Cited Violation (NCV), consistent with Section 2.3.2 of the Enforcement Policy.
The NCV is described in the subject inspection report. Further, the inspectors documented a licensee-identified violation which was determined to be of very low safety significance in this report. The NRC is treating this violation as a NCV consistent with Section 2.3.2 of the Enforcement Policy.
If you contest the violations or significance of the NCVs, you should provide a response within 30 days of the date of this inspection report, with the basis for your denial, to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, ATTN: Document Control Desk, Washington, DC 20555-0001; with copies to the Regional Administrator, Region III; the Director, Office of Enforcement; and the NRC Resident Inspector at the Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plant. If you disagree with a cross-cutting aspect assignment or a finding not associated with a regulatory requirement in this report, you should provide a response within 30 days of the date of this inspection report, with the basis for your disagreement, to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, ATTN: Document Control Desk, Washington, DC 20555-0001; with copies to the Regional Administrator, Region III; and the NRC resident inspector at the Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plant.
This letter, its enclosure, and your response (if any) will be made available for public inspection and copying at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html and at the NRC Public Document Room in accordance with 10 CFR 2.390, Public Inspections, Exemptions, and Requests for Withholding.

INSPECTION RESULTS
71152Problem Identification and Resolution
Observation 71152Semi Annual Trend Review
During the inspection period, the licensee identified several trends. Notably, the licensee
identified potential trends in gas accumulation in the Unit 1 RHR system (no impact to safety
function), and a potential trend in minor jacket water leaks identified following the performance
of maintenance on EDGs at the site. The inspectors reviewed the inputs, evaluations, and
planned actions associated with these trends, and also performed their own search of the
corrective action program to validate that all inputs were considered. Although some of the
evaluations were ongoing at the end of the inspection period, the inspectors held discussions
with licensee management to understand interim actions taken to mitigate the trends until final
corrective actions were taken.
The inspectors did not identify any concerns with the licensees interim actions and
determined that the scope of each evaluation was appropriate.
71153Follow-Up of Events and Notices of Enforcement Discretion
Licensee Identified Non-Cited Violation 71153
This violation of very low safety significance was identified by the licensee and has been
entered into the licensee corrective action program and is being treated as a NCV, consistent
with Section 2.3.2 of the Enforcement Policy.
Enforcement:
Violation: Prairie Island Technical Specification (TS) Limiting Condition for Operation 3.9.5
states, in part, one RHR loop shall be operable and in operation while in Mode 6 with water
level greater than, or equal to, above the top of the reactor vessel flange.
Contrary to the above, on October 19, 2017, the licensee removed a flood barrier floor plug
that rendered the No. 22 RHR pump inoperable for 28 hours3.240741e-4 days <br />0.00778 hours <br />4.62963e-5 weeks <br />1.0654e-5 months <br /> and 40 minutes (greater than the
Immediate and 4-hour TS-Required Action Completion Times of TS 3.9.5, Condition A).
Because the No. 21 RHR pump was out-of-service while the flood barrier was removed, a
condition existed where the RHR safety function could have been impacted if a postulated
internal flood event had occurred.
Significance/Severity Level: The failure to restore the flood barrier floor plug prior to the
expiration of the TS Action Completion time was considered a performance deficiency. The
inspectors determined the performance deficiency was more than minor because it adversely
affected the Mitigating Systems Cornerstone attribute of configuration control. The inspectors
attempted to screen the finding using IMC 0609, Appendix G, Attachment 1 Shutdown
Operations Significance Determination Process Phase 1 Initial Screening and
Characterization of Findings. The inspectors answered Yes to Question 2 of Exhibit 3
because the condition represented a loss of safety function for 28 hours3.240741e-4 days <br />0.00778 hours <br />4.62963e-5 weeks <br />1.0654e-5 months <br /> and 40 minutes, and
thus required further review using IMC 0609, Appendix G, Attachment 2, Phase 2 SDP
Template for PWR During Shutdown. An NRC Region III senior risk analyst reviewed the
finding and confirmed it to be very low safety significance (Green) based on the condition
existing while the refueling cavity was flooded-up (aka Plant Operating State-3), where a
potential Loss of Residual Heat Removal would have negligible impact.

Failure to Develop Appropriate Clearance Order Results in Loss of Power to 4kV Bus 25
Cornerstone Significance Cross-Cutting Aspect Report
Section
Mitigating Systems Green H.2Field Presence 71153
Closed
Introduction:
A Green finding and associated NCV of Title 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion V,
Instructions, Procedures, and Drawings, was self-revealed when the licensee failed to
properly develop a Clearance Order (C/O) for modification activities within 4kV safeguards
Bus 25. This resulted in the de-energization of the bus, the automatic actuation, loading and
unloading of the D5 EDG, and a loss of available power to Unit 2 A train safeguards
equipment for 52 minutes.
This issue was documented in LERs 05000306/2018001-001-00 and-01, Automatic
Actuation of Emergency Diesel Generator D5.
Description:
On May 17, 2018, with Unit 2 operating at full power, a complete loss of power occurred to
4kV Bus 25 with a subsequent valid actuation of the D5 EDG during the performance of
modification activities within Bus 25. The D5 supply breaker closed onto Bus 25 as designed,
but immediately tripped open. Operators responded to the event and restored power to
Bus 25 within 52 minutes. The inspectors observed operator response to this event and
reviewed the event timeline, use of response procedures, and immediate corrective
actions. The event response and inspector activities were documented in Section 71153 of
Prairie Island Inspection Report 2018002.
Following the event, the licensee conducted a root cause evaluation (RCE) to identify root and
contributing causes, as well as corrective actions. The licensee also submitted an 8-hour
Event Notification for the valid actuation of the D5 EDG, and also submitted a LER. The
inspectors reviewed the RCE and LER that identified an overall lack of risk recognition as part
of the modification preparation/planning, development of tagging and clearances, and also
oversight of supplemental personnel for the physical work that was being conducted on
May 17, 2018. The licensee determined that several programmatic deficiencies and
inappropriate decisions were made that led to workers inappropriately manipulating a potential
transformer drawer for the energized Bus 25 causing the event.
The licensee determined that C/O development was inappropriate, in that,
C/O 2-EA 7000282-0150, TD Install Conduit Cable for PT to Breaker 25-16, for the
modification was not properly screened on December 14, 2017 as an Exceptional C/O per
station procedure FP-OP-TAG-01, Fleet Tagging, Revision 34. Had the C/O been properly
developed, the site would have altered the work instructions to avoid work in the proximity to
an energized potential transformer drawer, or the work would have been scheduled to coincide
with a Bus 25 outage window.
Corrective Actions: Corrective actions to address the root and contributing causes included
implementation of a nuclear risk mitigation program, revision to supplemental oversight
procedures, and the study and development of rigorous walk-down expectations for the
Design, Maintenance, and Operations planning departments. Also, the site revised
FP-OP-TAG-01 to ensure that all tagging and clearances associated with modifications were
designated as complex and exceptional. Corrective actions were also planned to install
locking devices for Bus potential transformer drawers during the next planned bus
outages. Interim actions were taken to preclude opening of the drawers until locking devices
are installed.
Corrective Action Reference: AR 501000012089
Performance Assessment:
Performance Deficiency: The inspectors determined that the failure to accomplish
FP-OP-TAG-01, Fleet Tagging, Revision 34 in the development of a C/O for modification
activities within 4kV safeguards Bus 25, was a performance deficiency. The cause of the
issue of concern was reasonably within the licensees ability to foresee and correct and
the issue of concern should have been prevented. Specifically, by failing to accomplish
FP-OP-TAG-01, an inadequate C/O was created that led to Bus 25 to be de-energized.
Screening: The inspectors determined the performance deficiency was more than minor, and
a finding, because it adversely affected the Mitigating Systems Cornerstone Attribute of
Configuration Control to ensure the availability, reliability, and capability of systems that
respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences. Specifically, the licensees
failure to properly develop a C/O for modification activities within 4kV Bus 25 (a Mitigating
System) led to the unavailability of Bus 25 for approximately 52 minutes.
Significance: The inspectors assessed the significance of the finding using IMC 0609,
Appendix A, The Significance Determination Process (SDP) for Findings At-Power. The
finding screened as very low safety significance (Green) because the inspectors answered No
to Questions A.1 to A.4 under Exhibit 2Mitigating Systems Screening Questions due to the
finding not representing an actual loss of function of a single train for greater than its Technical
Specification-allowed outage time.
Cross-cutting Aspect: The finding had a cross-cutting aspect in the Field Presence
component of the Human Performance cross-cutting area that states that leaders are
commonly seen in the work areas of the plant observing, coaching, and reinforcing standards
and expectations. Deviations from standards and expectations are corrected promptly.
Senior managers ensure supervisory and management oversight of work activities, including
contractors and supplemental personnel. Specifically, several standards and expectations
were not reinforced during the development of the open phase modification, and oversight was
lacking on several occasions during the work control process. (H.2)
Enforcement:
Violation: Title 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion V, Instructions, Procedures, and
Drawings, requires, in part, that activities affecting quality be prescribed by documented
procedures of a type appropriate to the circumstances and be accomplished in accordance
with these procedures. The licensee prescribed procedure FP-OP-TAG-01, Fleet Tagging,
Revision 34, as the implementing procedure for establishing a safe tagging boundary for
C/O 2-EA 700007282-0150: TD INSTALL CONDUIT CABLE FOR PT TO BKR25-16
(EC 26784), an activity affecting quality for safety-related Bus 25 modifications.
Procedure FP-OP-TAG-01, Step 5.3.1 stated, in part, The Clearance Order Preparer
SHALL screen for Exceptional C/Os. Additionally, Step 4.15 stated, in part, that Examples of
[Exceptional C/Os] would include: All stored energy cannot be relieved from within a blocking
boundary.
Contrary to the above, on December 14, 2017, the licensee failed to accomplish Step 5.3.1 of
procedure FP-OP-TAG-01. Specifically, the Clearance Order Preparer did not screen
C/O 2-EA 700007282-0150 as an Exceptional C/O as evidenced by answering NO to the
question, "Is this an EXCEPTIONAL Tagout?" in the Attributes Section of the Electronic
Tagout system. In fact, this C/O was an EXCEPTIONAL Tagout due to the inability to relieve
all stored energy within the Bus 25 BKR 25-16 blocking boundary for the activity affecting
quality.
This self-revealed Green NCV closes LER 05000306/2018-001-00 and-01.
