Licensee Action on Previous Inspection Findings

(Closed) Unresolved Item; Submittal of ISI Exemption Request. This item

addressed the requirement of 10 CFR 50.55a(g)(5)(iii) to submit exemption

requests for those items of the code which are considered impractical for

the licensee.. The licer 2e has submitted the exemption requested in a

letter to the NRC (N9D ..perating Reactor Branch 3) dated May 29, 1981.

The exemption requested was that a radiograph not be performed on a

repaired arc strike due to geometry of the repair.

lne line involved is

a 2" shutdown cooling / low pressure safety injection crosstie line.

No

unaccepteble conditions were identified.

(0 pen) Unresolved item (317/81-04-01; 318/81-04-05) 10 CFR 50.72

(1) Findings

At 3:30 p.m. on June 12, 1981, while conducting a routine plant

!

inspection, the inspector discovered 1-LS-4142-C (refueling

water tank low to RAS) isolated.

1-LS-4142-C provides a signal

to Engineering Safety Features Actuation System (ESFAS) Channel

"C" to switch the emergency core cooling system from the

(

injection mode to the recirculation mode.

Upon discovery,

l

Instrument & Control personnel verified the level switch

j

operable by performing the applicable portion of Surveillance

Test STP-M-220-1.

The level switch was returned to service at

6:25 p.m.

The three (3) redundant level switches remained

operable throughout the event.

The cause of the isolation was apparently of failure of an I&C

technician to restore the level switch to service follow (ng

completion of Monthly Suryr-i!;ance Test STP-M-220-1 on May 26, 1981.

To prevent ricurrence, the licensee revised the Surveillance Test

Procedure (R(vision 3, approved June 24, 1981) to describe

specifically the inservice valve lineup and to provide signature

bl:n!= #e- =cknowledging each switch's return to service. The

inspector reviewed the licensee's corrective actions including the

revised procedure and concluded that the licensee had taken and

l

completed adequate corrective actions prior to completion of the

i

inspection period. The inspector stated that failure to restore

Level Switch 1-LS-4142-C to service following testing was an item of

noncompliance (50-317/81-13-01).

4.

Plant Maintenance

During the inspection period, the inspector observed various maintenance

and problem investigation activities.

The inspector reviewed these

activities to verify compliance with regulatory requirements, including

those stated in the Technical Specifications; compliance with the

!

administrative and maintenance procedures; compliance with applicable

l

codes and standards; required QA/QC involvement; proper use of safety

l

tags; proper equipment alignment and use of jumpers; personnel

qualifications; radiological controls for worker protection; retest

requirements and ascertain reportability as required by Technical

Specifications. The following act;vities were included during this

review:

--

Maintenance (NSR) observed work on 12 I/A compressor on 6/30/81.

During shutdown testing on Unit 1 on 7/14/81 No. 12 MSIV was discovered

to have a slow closure time (13 seconds versus required 3.6 seconds).

!

The inspector observed part of the maintenance actions to correct the

j

slow closure.

Following replacement of a hydraulic accumulator bladder

and additional stroke testing, the MSIV timing was discovered to be 2.7

seconds. By licensee procedure the required clo;ure time was 3.4 1 2

seconds. The inspector went to the Unit 1 MSIV Room on 7/15 to observe

timing adjustment. The mechanics and QC inspector n rforming and

observing the adjustments were unsure when asked initially which was No.

12 MSIV, however, indicated that both valves needed adjustment.

The

l

inspector checked with the Control Room and discovered that no work was

!

authorized on 11 MSIV but that both orifice valves were required to be

i

adjusted on 12 MSIV. An apparent communications breakdown had occurred

in that the mechani::s understood that both MSIVs required adjustment.

The restriction orifice adj"c+m=+ '-m

m . = =: to its original position

under post written MR M-81-234 issued to doct. ment work on 6/18/81.

Correct adjustment of 12 MSIV was accomplished.

The licensee committed

to verify 2 times a week the partial stroke time of 12 MSIV stating that

the slow closure probably would be detected by a degradation of partial

l

stroke time. The licensee discussed past failure history of 12 MSIV and

noted that only one additional failure (May, 1981) had occurred in the

last two years of quarterly testing. The inspector stated that MSIV slow

closure times would be followed by the NRC (317/81-13-02).

l

The inspector also stated that performing work on 11 MSIV when not

l

authorized by a Maintenance Request was an item of noncompliance

j

(317/81-13-03).

l

5.

Surveillance Testing

The inspector observed portions of the following surveillance (or other)

testing. The inspector verified that testing was performed in accordance

.

with approved procedures, limiting conditions for operation were

satisfir3, test results (if completed at time of observation) were

satisfactory, removal and restoration of equipment were accomplished and

that defici'encies identified were properly reviewed and resolved.

l

a.

Pressurizer Level Devietions

,

!

--

On 6/1/81 during a Unit 1 restart after a weekend outage to

l

repair a RCP lube oil leak, manual control of steam generator

l

water level at low power resulted in repeated oscillations. Such

deviaticns , caused by temperature variations from steam

ganerator level or turbine loading changes, are re: tine during

st.artups and shutdowns.

The licensee attempted to stabilize

conditions prior to incremental load increases, and shifted to

staSle, automatic control when a sufficient steamirg rate was

reached.

The event was reported to the Operations Center as

required by 10 CFR 50.72.a(5).

--

At 6:25 a.m. on 6/26/81 Unit 1 Pressurizer Level Program was

discovered drifted outside tolerance allowed by T.S. (216"

versus 210" allowed).

The level was returned in. band within 10

minutes.

--

Pressurizer Level (Unit 1) was out of bar.d it.: mediately prior to

the U" t 1 trip caused by a partial loss of instrument air (see

belos) on 6/30/81.

--

Unit 2 Pressurizer Level was out of band between 3:00 p.m.

until 4:25 p.m. on 7/3/81 due to a gradual pressurizer level

decrease while the chargirg pumps were turned off to make a

surface repair to a common discharge header test connection

leak.

The level went from 220" (top of program) to 165"

Charging flow was restored r 4:08 p.m.

l

--

Unit 2 Pressurizar [ ,el was out of band at 2:20 p.m. on 7/4

'

during restart osc ilations fol' awing a unit trip on 7/4/81.

The licensee stated that the new T.S. were overly restrictive in

specifying a 5's level error froia program to consider the pressurizer

inoperable and additionally did not contain a window of time to

j

__

allow operation outside the band as was the case with other

,

Technical Specifications, such as the DNB carameters.

They further

stated that they were pursuing a wider band with the vendar (CE) and

would equest a T.S. change to allow operational flexibility.

Resolution of the pressurizer level Limiting Condition for Operation

is an unresolved item (317/81-13-04; 318/81-13-01).

b.

Unit I tripped about 8:00 a.m., 6/30 due to low No. 11 Steam

Generator water level.

The trarsient cccurred while valving out a

portion of the instrumert a;r (IA) system.

Partial loss of IA

pressure caused feed water to rapidly increase. Operator action to

,

i

reduce flow, coupled with control system respor.se upon restoration

of IA pressure, resultte in the low level condition.

i

The cause of loss of instrument air pressure was not conclusisely

found. The operator involved stated a correct isolation lineup had

been performed (bypass valve on air dryer tcwers opened before

,

!

isolations closed). A partial loss of instrument air occurred later

i

in the cay on Unit 1 duo to botn towers oeing steck in the

regenerztion cycle.

The towers were quickly bypassed to restore air

pressure.

Four instrument air valves and solenoid valve were

reworke

to correct the tc.er problem.

d

c.

Unit 2 tripped at 04:21 a.m. on 7/4. The t-ip was caused by Turbine

Vacuum trip testing.

This testing lowers Auto Step Oil Pressure

about 10 psid. Auto Stop Oil Prassure was found to be low following

the trip and was adjusted above 100 psig.

The licensee plans to

change testing procedures te verify adequate Auto Stop Oil Pressure

prior to testing the Turbine Vacuum trip.

d.

At 06:35 a.m. on 7/4 a licensee employee was transported to Calvert

Memorial Hospital to investigate a back pain.

The employee had

.

strained his back during a containment entry following the Unit 2

'

plant trip.

The individual was not contaminated.

e.

At about 8:30 p.m. on 6/13, increasing Unit 1 RCS leakage was

noticed.

Initial checks identified about 9.1 gpm. A detailed

l

check completed at 9:45 p.ni. Indicated that (identified) leakage had

increased to 16 gpm. A controlled shutdown was initiated as

required by the lechnical Specifications (10 gpm limit).

The NRC

4

Operations Center was notified about 10:30 p.m. of the required

shutdown due to RCS leakage.

About 0015 a.m., prior to changing

from Mode 1 to Mode 2, an unusual event was declared per the Site

Emergency Plan and the required State and local officials were

notified. The leak was found to be blown packing on an isolation

valve from the 12A Reactor Coolant Pump differential pressure

transmitter.

The leakage was stopped and back in specification

about 11:00 a.m. on 6/14/81. Although no new information was

available at OU15, an unusual event was declared. The Site

,

Emergency Plan requires NRC notification but the associated

IE Circular Review

l

The following IE Circulars were reviewed on site to determine that the

l

circular was received by licensee management, that a review for

applicability was per.'ormed, and that further action taken or planned was

appropriate.

80-15 Loss of Reactor Coolant Pump Cooling and Natural Circulation

--

Cocldown. The licensee has routed this circular to all operators

l

and included the event in the requalification lecture series.

The

Plant Operational Experience Assessment Committee has reviewed

various aspects of this event and recommended actions.

The licensee

is participating with the CE Owners Group in the development of

revised natural circulation coolaown and shutdown cooling

procedures.

NRR is also following licensee actions in this area

(Generic letter 81-21).

Circular 80-15 is considered closed.

!

Additional licensec actions / reviews in this area will be inspected

following up on Circular 81-10, Steam Voiding in the Reactor Coolant

System, issued July 2, 1981.

l

--

80-05 Emergency Diesel Generator Lubricating 011 Addition and Onsite

!

Supply. The licensee had received and reviewed this circular and

I

taken appropriate action.

Lubricacing oil must be added directly to

i

the storage tank in the Diesel Rooms for Calvert Cliff's EDGs. The

!

oil must be added directly from a barrel with a portable, air driven

l

pump. A sign is in place by the tank stating the type of oil

I

required.

The licensee reviewed oil consumption records and made

arrangements to have onsite stores increased to include maxium usage

for the T.S. Fuel Oil supply time requ'reaent.

analyzed with a safety factor of two so that the piping ID

reduction should not result in excessive restriction.

Further

review indicated that the restriction would result in a flow

'

reduction betwoen 1 to 2%. The licensee stated in LER 81-42:

" Parametric contingency analyses recently performed in

support of the EPRI Safety ani Relief Valve Test Program

(EPRI Project V102-20) have demonstrated a large margin in

the sizi.ig of the pressurizer safety valves for Calvert

Cliffs.

Based on the licensing methods for these plants,

the calculated required safety valve capacity is more than

,

an order of magnitude below that specified for the plant.

1

It is unlikely that the reduced valve capacity resulting

from the smaller inlet piping could have a significant

impact in light of this large design margin.

Therefore,

it is concluded that the above described reduction in

inlet pipe diameter for the Dresser Modci 31739A Safety

,

Valve does not constitute a safety hazard for Calvert

Cliffs Units 1 and 2."

Although a safety hazard does not appear to exist the NRC will

perform further revie.<s of the EPRI Safety and Relief Valve

program and the effecte of a reduced size inlet pipe.

81-42 (Unit 1) and 81-28 (Unit 2) remain open pending further

NRC review.

Licensee Action on NUREG 0660, NRC Action Plan Developed as a

?esult of the TMI-2 Accident

The NRC's Office of Inspection and Enforcement has been assigned

i

inspection responsibility for licensee implementation of selected action

plan items.

These items have been further broken down into numbered

descriptions (enclosure 1 to NUREG 0737, Clarification of TMI Action Plan

Items). Various licensee letters containing commitments to the NRC were

used as the basis for determining acceptability along with NRC

clarification letters and censiderable inspector judgement.

The

'

.

following action plan items were reviewed during this inspection (number

of description in parenthesis).

I.C.6

'!erify Performance of Oparating Activities.

This item was

previously inspected and remains open (Combined Inspection Reports

317/81-02; 318/81-02 and 317/81-11; 318/81-11).

During this

inspection the licensee committed to implement the following

additional actions to comply with I.C.6.

a.

By Septenber 1, 1981 a second independent verification by a

qualified operator will be performed when equipment is removed from

service in accordance with CLi 112 " Safety Tagging". A second

independent verification will also be performed when equipment is

returned to service.

In each case the second verification may be

waived if proper system lineup is verified by functional oest or if

such verification would necessitate entry into a high radiation

area.

b.

A second verification will not be required when equipment it removed

l

for service for the purpose of conducting surveillance testing.

i

However, by October 1, 1981 a second independent verification by a

!

qualified operator will be performed when equipment is returned to

l

service upon ccmpletion of surveillance testing.

This second

verification may be waived if such verification would necessitate

entry irto high radiation area, if proper system lineup is verified

by functional testino, or if the component to be verified receives a

safety signal which was not defeated by the surveillance test

'

procedure.

c.

A computerized system for tracking outstanding maintenance requests

l

will be operational by July 1, 1982.

In the interim period

l

Operations personnel will continue to keep track of outstanding

maintenance actions by wti of infor.ual turnover sheets and by

logging all effective teco spec action statements in the Control

,

Room Operator log.

I

d.

Prior to restart from the next refueling outage valve checklists and

procedures for their use will be developed for all instrument root

valves in safety related systems.

The inspector stated that the above proposed actions, coupled with the

licensee's existing programs and status monitoring equipment adequately

implement the guidance of TAP I.C.6.

The line item will remain upen

l

pending implementation of the above actions and inspection by the NRC.
