INSPECTION RESULTS

Unit 2 Inadvertent Electrical Bus De-Energization and Equipment Damage Due to the New 2C SUT Being Wired Out of Phase Cornerstone Significance Cross-Cutting Aspect Report Section Mitigating Systems

Green NCV 05000366/2019002-01 Open/Closed

[H.5] - Work Management 71111.19 The inspectors documented a Green, self-revealing, NCV of 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion V, Instructions, Procedures, and Drawings, for the licensees failure to ensure that activities affecting quality shall be described by documented instructions, procedures, or drawings, of a type appropriate to the circumstances and shall be accomplished in accordance with these instructions, procedures, or drawings. Specifically, the failure to follow work order instruction SNC904209, "Install Conduits, Cables and Terminate PTs," on SUT 2C to verify the correct wiring of the PT resulted in the station experiencing an inadvertent electric bus de-energization on Unit 2 (Mode 5), damage to the 2C EDG AVR, and tripping the Unit 1 (Mode 1) 1C SUT offline.

Description:

On February 23, 2019, a post maintenance test was performed on the 2C SUT and associated wiring. While attempting to parallel the 2C SUT (offsite power) to the 2G emergency bus, which was energized by the 2C EDG, the operators attempted to close the alternate supply breaker as required by the Logic System Functional Test (LSFT) procedure.

Immediately upon closing the alternate supply breaker, both the alternate supply breaker and 2C EDG output breaker tripped open. Additionally, the power circuit breakers (PCBs)supplying power to the 1C SUT and 2C SUT also tripped open. The cause of the PCBs and output breakers tripping open was later determined to be a 120 degree out of phase condition due to the PTs (which are connected to the synchro scope in the Control Room) being improperly wired during the installation of the new 2C SUT. This resulted in damage to the AVR circuit of the 2C EDG and Unit 1 entering Technical Specification 3.8.1. A, 72 hour8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br /> shutdown action, for one required offsite circuit inoperable.

A second example of work not performed in accordance with work instructions, occurred on February 26, 2019, when the station experienced a trip of the 230KV feed for both the 1C and 2C SUTs. This trip occurred during testing of the 2C SUT Current Transformers (CTs), as part of the recovery of the February 23, 2019 LSFT event. This also resulted in Unit 1 entering Technical Specification 3.8.1. A, 72 hour8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br /> shutdown action, for one required offsite circuit inoperable. The cause for the trip was due to a lead not being lifted, as required by work order instruction SNC1001346, "GPC to Perform CT Testing," prior to injecting a signal.

The 2C SUT replacement was performed under a major plant modification (Degraded Grid Project) which required the coordination between Southern Nuclear Company, Georgia Power, and Day and Zimmermann (DZ).

Corrective Actions: The licensee entered these issues in their corrective action program and corrective actions were taken to correct the wiring. Phase rotation checks along with independent and concurrent verifications were immediately put into place for ongoing Degraded Grid Modification electrical work.

Corrective Action References: CRs 10585063, 10585783 and 10585867, corrective action report (CAR) 275824, Cause Determination Report, Version 1.

Performance Assessment:

Performance Deficiency: The failure to verify the wiring of the PTs for the 2C SUT was performed in accordance with work order instruction SNC904209, "Install Conduits, Cables and Terminate PTs" on SUT 2C, is a performance deficiency that was within the licensees ability to foresee and correct.

Screening: The inspectors determined the performance deficiency was more than minor because it was associated with the Design Control attribute of the Mitigating Systems cornerstone. The PD was more than minor because it was associated with the Design Control attribute of the Mitigating Systems Cornerstone objective to ensure the availability, reliability, and capability of systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences (i.e., core damage).

Significance: The inspectors assessed the significance of the finding using Appendix A, The Significance Determination Process (SDP) for Findings At-Power. The finding was of very low safety significance (i.e. Green) because the performance deficiency did not result in an actual loss of safety system function, and it did not represent a loss of function of one or more than one train for more than its TS allowed outage time of greater than 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br />. This was also evaluated per Appendix G, Attachment 1, Shutdown Operations Significance Determination Process, where it also screened to Green.

Cross-Cutting Aspect: H.5 - Work Management: The organization implements a process of planning, controlling, and executing work activities such that nuclear safety is the overriding priority. The work process includes the identification and management of risk commensurate to the work and the need for coordination with different groups or job activities. The finding was assigned a cross cutting aspect of Work Management, because the licensee did not implement a process of planning, controlling, and executing work activities such that nuclear safety is the overriding priority. Additionally, the work process of independent and redline verifications did not included the identification and management of risk commensurate to the work and the need for coordination with different groups. (H.5)

Enforcement:

Violation: 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion V, Instructions, Procedures, and Drawings, for the licensees failure to ensure that activities affecting quality shall be described by documented instructions, procedures, or drawings, of a type appropriate to the circumstances and shall be accomplished in accordance with these instructions, procedures, or drawings.

Contrary to the above, the licensee failed to follow written instructions, procedures, or drawings to verify that the wiring of the PTs for the 2C SUT was done in accordance with work order instruction SNC904209, "Install Conduits, Cables and Terminate PTs" on SUT 2C.

Enforcement Action: This violation is being treated as a non-cited violation, consistent with Section 2.3.2 of the Enforcement Policy.

Licensee-Identified Non-Cited Violation 71152 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 non-cited violation, consistent with Section 2.3.2 of the Enforcement Policy.

Violation: 10 CFR 26.4(a)(4), states in part, All persons who are granted unescorted access to nuclear power reactor protected areas and perform maintenance or onsite directing of maintenance of SSCs that a risk informed evaluation process has shown to be significant to public health and safety shall be subject to a Fitness for Duty (FFD) program that meets all of the requirements of this part.

Contrary to the above, on February 25, 2019, the licensees failure to follow Southern Company procedure Fatigue Management Program, NMP-AD-016, Ver. 10.1, step 4.6, by not performing a Fatigue Assessment prior to allowing Georgia Power employees to perform work on the 2C SUT resulted in the inadvertent trip of the Unit 1C SUT. The SUTs on both unit 1 and unit 2 are classified as risk significant SSCs in the licensees probabilistic risk assessment (PRA). This condition was discovered during the root cause determination performed on two separate events that occurred during post installation testing of the degraded grid modification.

Significance: Green. The inspectors assessed the significance this finding using IMC 0609, Appendix A, Exhibit 1, dated July 1, 2012. The inspectors concluded this violation is of very low safety significance (Green) based on the results of IMC 0609, Appendix A, Initiating Events Screening Questions. Specifically, when the Unit 1C SUT was tripped offline it resulted in the loss of one required offsite circuit and an entry into Technical Specification 3.8.1.a, it did not cause a partial or complete loss of offsite power to the operating unit. (IMC 0609, Appendix A, Exhibit 1 Question C.b).
