DETAILS

1 UNIT 1 EMERGENCY DIESEL GENERATOR INOPERABILITY

1.1 Event Description

In an effort to upgrade plant housekeeping and appearance, the licensee

started to repaint various areas and components within the plant.

On

December 29, 1992, contract painters started to repaint EDG 13 and finished

the job 2 days later. The recoating of the exterior of EDG 13 was performed

under Work Request XG-116382. The work request, which was originated on

February 2, 1991, included, in part, the following instructions in the work

statement:

(1) precautions shall be taken to protect moving parts that could

bind during operation of the diesel, if painted, and (2) an operability test

was required after coating of the equipment.

Before the painting of the EDG, a prejob briefing was held between the

contract painters and mechanical maintenance personnel . Maintenance

personnel, which included the system engineer, discussed and pointed out to

the painters the areas not to be painted.

These areas included moving parts,

stainless steel, and greased components.

A contract foreman was present at

the briefing and during the painting process.

On December 28, 1992, and prior to the start of the painting, the shift

supervisor reviewed the work request and noted that a postmaintenance

test (PMT) consisting of running the EDG in accordance with

Procedure IPSP03-DG-0003, " Standby Diesel 13 Operability Test," was required.

This requirement was a concern to the shift supervisor, because he understood

that the EDG would remain in service during the painting evolution, and the

IMT requirement implied that the EDG would be considered inoperable while

being painted. After discussions between the system engineer and the shift

supervisor, the PMT requirement was voided by the system engineer, with no

documented explanation given for the voidance as required by Procedure OPGP03-

ZM-0025, Revision 3. " Maintenance Testing Program." The voidance without

explanation of the EDG PMT requirement by the system engineer, after

discussion with the shift supervisor, was considered an apparent violation of

TS 6.8.1.a (498/9305-01). The painting was subsequently completed on December

1

31, 1992, without a PMT being performed.

On January 20, 1993, a regularly scheduled surveillance start of EDG 13 was

performed using Procedures OPSP03-DG-0003, Revision 0, " Standby Diesel

Generator 13(23) Operability Test," and IPSP03-DG-0015, Revision 0, " Standby

Diesel 13 LOOP - ESF."

As part of the test process, the EDG was given an

emergency start signal at 6:27 a.m.

EDG 13 rolled to 100 rpm but failed to

start. The EDG was declared inoperable and actions were taken to satisfy the

requirements of TS 3.8.1.1.

Inspection and traubleshooting of EDG 13 were performed in accordance with

Service Request (SR) DG-170221. The fuel starting solenoids were initially

considered to be the source of the problem; however, further investigation

revealed that 11 of 20 injection pumps (seven on right bank, four on left

bank) had fuel metering racks that were stuck because of paint.

The paint

that was applied to the fuel injection pumps had dripped and entered the back

side of the fuel rack openings. This paint prevented the fuel racks from

traversing through the injection pumps, which prevented the injection of fuel

into the cylinders.

The areas were cleaned and maintenance personnel manually

cycled the fuel rack linkage to ensure the racks moved freely in both

directions.

EDG 13 was subsequently started in accordance with Surveillance

Procedure OPSP03-DG-0003. While unloading EDG 13, the engine experienced load

swings of about 1000 kilowatts, while the engine was operating at

4200 kilowatts. The engine was secured and SR DG 175439 was issued to

troubleshoot the problem.

The cause of the load swing problem was determined

to be a faulty motor-operated potentiometer located in the electrical

speed / load control circuitry. A load sensor was visually observed to have a

questionable solder connection and was also replaced. After replacement of

both parts, EDG 13 was satisfactorily tested in accordance with Surveillance

Procedures OPSP03-DG-0003 and IPSP03-DG-0015 and returned to service on

January 22, 1993.

EDG 13 repainting started on December 29, 1992, with the last engine

operability run, prior to January 20, 1993, being successfully performed on

December 24, 1992. As a result, the inspectors determined that EDG 13 was

inoperable for 24 days, from December 29, 1992, until January 22, 1993, which

was considered an apparent violation of the requirements of TS 3.8.1.1.b

(498/9305-02).

In addition to failing to meet the requirements of TS 3.8.1.1.b, the licensee

made three mode changes and failed to conduct operability checks on four

cross-train components during the period that EDG 13 was inoperable.

During a 61-hour period on January 12-14,1993, EDG 12 was declared inoperable

in order to conduct routine Engineering Safety Features Train B maintenance.

EDG 12 being inoperable for these 61 hours7.060185e-4 days <br />0.0169 hours <br />1.008598e-4 weeks <br />2.32105e-5 months <br />, concurrent with EDG 13 being

considered inoperable, was an apparent violation of the requirements of

TS 3.8.1.1, Action f (498/9305-03).

EDG 13 was the first of the plant's six EDGs to be painted. The licensee

plans to paint the remaining EDGs in the future. The licensee has stated that

adequate precautions to prevent EDG operability concerns will be implemented

prior to initiating this work.

2 TURBINE-DRIVEN AUXILIARY FEEDWATER PUMP FOLLOWUP

2.1 Background

On February 1, 1993, at 9:49 a.m., with Unit 1 at 100 percent power, the

Unit 1 TDAFWP was tested using Surveillance Procedure OPSP03-AF-0007,

Revision 7, " Auxiliary Feedwater Pump 14 Inservice," in order to satisfy the

monthly requirements of TS 4.7.1.2.1.a.2.

When called upon to start, the pump

tripped on overspeed and was declared inoperable at 10 a.m.

The licensee

began troubleshooting activities to return the pump to an operable condition.

On February 3, 1993, Unit 2 was operating at 100 percent power. At

approximately 3:23 p.m., the operators initiated a manual reactor trip,

because of the loss of a steam generator feedwater pump.

Following the plant

trip, the TDAFWP was automatically called on to feed the steam generators.

The pump started but immediately tripped on an overspeed condition.

Control

room operators were able to maintain adequate feed flow to the slaam

generators using the remaining three motor-driven auxiliary feedwater pumps.

On February 4, 1993, at 9:38 a.m.,

the licensee had not been successful in

restoring the Unit 1 TDAFWP to an operable condition.

Subsequently, Unit I

commenced shutting down to place the reactor in the mode required by TS.

Region IV formed an augmented inspection team (AIT) on February 4, 1993. The

AIT was sent to the station to gather information regarding licensee actions

and to review plant response to the repeated failures of both unit's TDAFWP

l

overspeed trip problems.

2.2

AIT Inspection Findings and Followup

i

NRC Inspection Report 50-498/93-07; 50-499/93-07 contains a detailed sequence

of events and documents the findings of the AIT; however, selected

descriptions and root and contributing causes of both unit's TDAFWP overspeed

trips will be discussed in this report.

2.2.1

Event Description

On December 27, 1992, the Unit 1 TDAFWP was tested in accordance with

Surveillance Procedure OPSP03-AF-0007, Revision 7, " Auxiliary feedwater

Pump 14/24 Inservice Testing," the monthly surveillance that demonstrates

operability in accordance with TS 4.7.1.2.1.a.2.

After receiving a start

signal, the pump immediately tripped on an overspeed condition. After a local

manual start and a second remote start from the control room, the surveillance

procedure was repeated. On this attempt the pump successfully started and the

licensee subsequently considered the pump operable.

On January 23, 1993, a reactor trip occurred on Unit 2, following a turbine

trip when a main turbine and steam generator feedwater pump turbine

electrohydraulic control (EHC) system pipe, which was common to both turbines,

failed.

Report 50-498/93-04; 50-499/93-04.) The Unit 2 TDAFWP started, on demand, and

was later secured when no longer required.

After the pump was secured,

problems occurred when operators attempted to relatch the TDAFWP's trip and

throttle valve, MOV 514 from the control room. The pump was declared

inoperable, while the unit was shut down for repair of the EHC pipe. On

January 25, 1993, the EHC pipe failure was repaired. A significant amount of

troubleshooting and testing was conducted on the TDAFWP to resolve the MOV 514

relatch problem and another speed control problem that was identified during

the testing. After successfully completing the operability surveillance test

in accordance with Surveillance Procedure OPSP03-AF-0007, the TDAFWP was

declared operable and the unit restarted.

'

On January 28, 1993, the Unit 1 TDAFWP was again tested in accordance with

Surveillance Procedure OPSP03-AF-0007 as part of a routine monthly

surveillance.

When started, the TDAFWP immediately trippcd on overspeed and

was subsequently declared inoperable.

During the period of January 28-30,

1993, an extensive testing and troubleshooting effort was conducted by the

licensee to determine the problem with the TDAFWP. Numerous pump starts were

completed.

Several problems with overspeed tripping, speed control and

oscillations, and the ability to maintain rated, full-load, steady-state speed

were identified. Vendor support was retained to assist in troubleshooting and

problem resolution.

,

On January 30, 1993, maintenance personnel discovered during a meeting that

maintenance had been conducted on the Unit 2 TDAFWP at approximately 12:10

a.m., on January 25, 1993, by unauthorized and unqualified personnel without

the use of appropriate procedures; as a result, the pump was again declared

inoperable. The unauthorized maintenance activities had consisted of

adjustments made to the overspeed trip linkage associated with MOV 514 and was

conducted by the on-shift Unit 2 unit supervisor, a licensed senior reactor

operator. The unauthorized maintenance was observed by the duty plant manager

and the general maintenance supervisor.

Neither of these individuals stopped

'

the work activity or generated a station problem report (SPR) to document this

condition adverse to quality.

A mechanical maintenance supervisor

subsequently generated SPR 930342 on February 1, 1993.

This SPR, which had

not been closed at the end of the inspection, had started the process of

conducting root cause analysis and investigating generic plant implications of

this event. The performance of maintenance on a safety-related component

without the use of appropriate procedures was considered an apparent violation

of TS 6.8.1.a (498;499/9305-04). The unauthorized maintenance was reworked

and the pump tested in accordance with Surveillance Procedure OPSP03-AF-0007,

and was declared operable later on January 30, 1993.

On January 30, 1993, the Unit 1 TDAFWP was declared operable following

extensive maintenance activities and the successful completion of Surveillance

Procedure OPSP03-AF-0007.

On February 1, 1993, the Unit 1 TDAFWP was tested again using Surveillance

Procedure OPSP03-AF-0007.

The pump was tested at the direction of the Unit 1

operations manager in order to ensure operability, following the numerous

--.

,

problems encountered in the previous several days. When called upon to start,

the pump tripped on overspeed and was declared inoperable at 10 a.m.

On February 3,1993, at approximately 3:23 p.m., a Unit 2 reactor trip

occurred, and the TDAFWP started but immediately tripped on an overspeed

condition.

The inspectors reviewed the affect that the unauthorized

maintenance conducted on January 25, 1993, had on this overspeed trip.

On February 4,1993, at 9:38 a.m., Unit I commenced a shutdown to place the

reactor in the mode required by TS because the TDAFWP had not been restored to

an operable condition within the allowed TS outage time.

The inspectors' evaluation of both units' TDAFWP overspeed trip events

determined that the surveillance test program established to satisfy the

operability requirements of TS 4.7.1.2.1.a and b was not sufficiently rigorous

to assure that the testing was performed from normal standby conditions.

This determination was based upon a review of the circumstances during

surveillance testing on several test occurrences.

Specifically, in Unit 1 on

June 11, 1990, December 27, 1992, and January 30, 1993, and in Unit 2 on

December 11, 1991, following an overspeed trip, the pump was not returned to

its normal standby condition prior to retest.

Since these pumps are normally

idle, an on-demand start would normally occur from an ambient temperature

,

condition.

If testing was conducted from other than this condition, the

potential existed that degraded conditions affecting operability would be

masked.

It was evident, from the inspectors' review, that this masking

condition was occurring because, following several start attempts, the pumps

'

would perform their operability test satisfactorily; however, subsequent

i

testing at a later time with the pumps in their normal standby mode resulted

in a failed test.

The failure to ensure that system testing was performed

consistently under appropriate normal standby conditions was considered an

apparent violation of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion XI

(498;499/9305-05).

Because the surveillance test program was determined to be deficient in

ensuring consistent testing was being conducted to determine the operability

of both unit's TDAFWPs, the inspectors considered that no valid operability

surveillance test had been conducted on Unit l's TDAFWP since Mode 3 had been

entered on December 26, 1992, at the end of the fourth refueling outage.

These surveillance tests included the operability tests completed on

December 27, 1992, and January 30, 1993. The inspectors considered that the

pump had remained in this inoperable condition from December 26, 1992, until

the plant was shut down on February 4,1993.

During this period of time, from

December 26, 1993, until February 4,1993, a period of 33 days, the reactor

operated in a mode in which the TDAFWP was required to be operable. The

failure to maintain the TDAFWP operable during these 33 days was considered an

apparent violation of the requirements of TS 3.7.1.2.b (498/9305-06).

In addition to the violation noted above, the licensee made five mode changes

during the period that the Unit 1 TDAFWP was inoperable.

2.2.2 Contributing Causes for Unit 1 Overspeed Trips

l

2.2.2.1

Trip and Throttle Valve Leakage

During the AIT inspection, it was determined that MOV 514 in both units leaked

excessively by their seats.

MOV 514 in Unit I had been identified and

documented as a deficiency by the system engineer since March 1992. This

created the potential for condensate collecting and not draining from the

i

casing. Although not considered by the turbine vendor.to be sufficient water

to consistently cause overspeed trips, the presence of this condensate and its

l

potential for becoming entrained and water slugging the turbine was considered

to reduce the margin to overspeed trips.

j

Late in Unit l's fourth refueling outage, the licercee disassembled MOV 514 in

an attempt to repair the leakage.

The licensee informed the inspectors that,

after the valve was disassembled, they were not able to procure repair parts

and decided to lap the seat of the valve to improve the valve's integrity.

M0V 514 was subsequently reassembled without any significant repairs being

accomplished.

Following the Unit I shutdown on February 4,1993, resulting from the TDAFWP

overspeed trip problems, the licensee removed MOV 514, shipped it to an off-

j

site vendor where the valve was reworked to design leakage specifications, and

J

re-installed the valve in the system. This evolution was completed in only

6 days. The inspectors questioned the licensee on their rationale for not

taking this action to repair the valve during the later portion of the

refueling outage.

Licensee management stated that time was the principle

factor for not removing MOV 514 and conducting an adequate repair during the

outage.

The inspectors considered the failure to take appropriate action to correct

the identified deficient condition in MOV 514 to be a non-proactive approach

in correcting identified problems.

2.2.2.2

Governor Adjustment

Review of the as-fnund condition of the governor valve indicated that its

closed position was misadjusted approximately 1/16-inch (10 percent) off the

closed seat during the last outage (mid-September to late December 1992).

This misadjustment had two impacts:

(1) When the governor valve closed to

slow the turbine, it was 10 percent behind, or further open than, the

governor's demanded position; and (2) with MOV 514 leaking-by, steam was being

admitted into the turbine and, although not sufficient to cause the turbine to

turn, did permit a faster rate of steam admission into the turbine once a

start signal was present. This second impact would also tend to challenge the

governor's ability to slow the turbine prior to an overspeed condition being

reached.

The adjustment of the governor valve was conducted during Unit l's

fourth refueling outage using Preventative Maintenance Work

Instruction MM-1-AF-89003576. The inspectors reviewed this instruction

and determined that it did not contain sufficient quantitative and

qualitative acceptance criteria to demonstrate that the governor valve on the

Unit 1 TDAFWP would perform satisfactorily in service.

The failure to provide

adequate instructions to adjust the governor linkage was considered an

apparent violation of TS 6.8.1.a (498/9305-07).

2.2.2.3

MS 148 and M; 218 Out of Position

During the AIT inspection, the TDAFWP Steam Admission Drain Line Valves MS 148

and MS 218 were determined to be partially closed rather than fully open as

specified on applicable system line-up Procedure IPOP0Z-AF-0001, Revision ll,

" Aux liary Feedwater." Valves MS 148 and MS 218 were series valves that

routed condensate from the TDAFWP steam admission piping to the main condenser

arj maintained the area upstream of MOV 514 free of water to preclude

entrained water from entering the TDAFWP.

Radiographic examination was

performed by the licensee and it was determined that Valve MS 148 was only

20 percent open and that Valve MS 218 was 80 percent open.

Followup of the operational impact of Valves MS 148 and MS 218 being less than

fully open was determined to have had a negligible impact on the operations of

the TDAFWP. This conclusion was based on the fact that the area available for

steam flow through Valve MS 148 was significantly greater than the area

afforded by a 1/8-inch flow orifice which was located immediately downstream

of the subject drain valves.

Although not considered a contributor of the Unit 1 TDAFWP overspeed trip

events, the inspectors noted that the cause of these valves being mistakenly

not fully open was due to seizing of the hand wheel bearings. This situation

caused the operators to incorrectly conclude that the valves were fully open.

This bearing seizure was caused by a lack of maintenance on these valves.

SR MS 1156957 was written in November 1992, which identified the deficient

condition of these valves; however, no action had been taken to correct the

problems prior the TDAFWP overspeed events.

2.2.3

Root Cause for Unit 2 Overspeed Trips

The root cause of the TDAFWP overspeed trip was determined to be an incorrent

valve lineup, in conjunction with an inoperable or, at a minimum, degraded

steam trap.

The inspectors determined that MOV 514's above seat drain system lineup was

changed to incorporate the requirements of Field Change Request 92-0220 on

April 15, 1992.

This field change request specified that Steam Trap Bypass

Valve MS 517 be opened and that the steam trap inlet and outlet Valves MS 515

and MS 516, respectively, be closed in order to isolate the degraded steam

trap.

Based on the review of the valve lineup which was performed on

April 14, 1992, for the auxiliary feedwater system in accordance with

.

Procedure 2 POP 02-AF-0001, Revision 04, " Auxiliary Feedwater," it was

determined that the MOV 514 above seat drain lineup was properly performed.

However, during a subsequent maintenance activity performed April 28-29, 1992,

steam trap bypass Valve MS 517 was closed.

This incorrect system lineup

remained essentially unchanged, as indicated by the temperature trend data

obtained from the plant computer archives for Temperature Element T-7537,

until February 3, 1993, when Unit 2 experienced a reactor trip with an

associated auxiliary feedwater actuation.

During this trip (described in

paragraph 2.2.1 above), the TDAFWP experienced an overspeed trip upon startup

because of the presence of excessive condensate buildup in the steam supply

line above MOV 514.

The excessive condensate was due to MS 517 being

i

l

incorrectly positioned and the steam trap degrading to a condition where it

was no longer capable of passing condensate to the condenser.

Based on the review of the documentation associated with the overspeed trip of

the TDAFWP on February 3, 1993, it was determined that the licensee had failed

to follow procedures in that Valve MS 517 was incorrectly positioned. This

example of failure to follow procedures was considered an apparent violation

of TS 6.8.1.a (499/9305-08).

3.1

(Closed) Unresolved Item 498/9303-02:

EDG Availability and Mode Changes

j

(Unit 1)

This item involved the failure of the EDG to start, resulting from less than

adequate review and oversight of work activities during EDG painting, which
