Subject:

Yankee Nuclear Power Station - Detailed Control Room Design Review (DCRDR) Request for Additional Information Dear Sir During several recent telephone conversations, the last one on May 21, 1990 between Yankee Atomic Electric Company (YAEC), Mr. J. Bongarra (USNRC) and Mr. P. Sears (USNRC), it was requested that Yankee provide additional information to enable the staff to verify that the open items identified in References (b) and (c) have been or will be satisfactorily corrected.

Attachment A provides the additional information requested.

Attachment A provides an update to the information provided to the staff under Reference (d).

_ YAEC will update the staff via its annual 10CFR50.59 report of final resolution for the Human Engineering Deficiencies (HEDs) described in Attachment A as plant modifications are completed.

Resolutions which differ from the proposed actions in Attachment A will also be described as discussed with the staff during the aforementioned telecon.

/b

P h

United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission June 4, 1990 Document Control Desk Page 2 As YAEC discussed in its original submittal, Reference (f)..and the staff acknowledged in References (b) and (e), no HEDs had a safety significance such that the schedule for implementing HED corrections would be affected. None of the HEDs had adverse impacts which warranted immediate changes to the control boards.

In addition, YAEC's integrated approach to determining, verifying, and implementing design improvements has/will result in significant HEDs of various categorizations being integrated and corrected together. We believe the above clarifies this question to the staff's satisfaction.

l We trust that you will find this information satisfactory; however, should you have any questions, please contact us.

Very truly yours, YANKEE ATOMIC ELECTRIC COMPANY Jr.

1419 RCD No.: 0440 C9Irtet1Ym_ Action:

RCD No. 0440 notes that there is no one place tnat all equipment out of service is listed. The finding is correct in that there is no single quick reference log of out of service equipment. However, it is not considered necessary based on the extensive logs kept by the operations department and could in fact overtax the operator or cause confusion from inconsistent log entries.

Plant procedure OP-2007 addresses the shift supervisor's log, which is a chronological notebook record of the significant events of the shift. All out of service safety related equipment would be logged here.

Plant _ procedure OP-2002 addresses the i

shift turnover, which requires that the control room operations staff review and sign the log sheets for the following logs:

- Plant Operating log

- Rofueling Log (when applicable)

- Temporary Change Request

- Special Order log 1

CortschiYm A tion Failure Mode Study - Equipment manufacturers for panel indicators were contacted for information on four failure modest a.

Signal open b.

Signal short to ground c.

Signal short to 36 V de d.

Signal short to 120 V ac The study concluded that the manufacturer's data was complex and ambiguous, that there is no concise / conclusive information that can be provided as an operator aid.

To attempt to tabulate failure mode data would overtax the operator's memory and probably increase operator confusion. The operators will continue to use the information from redundant and diverse parameters to determine if a f ailure exists. No further action required.

HED No.:

1400 RCD No.:

0149 This finding reads as follows

" Control rod position lights are dim, and occasionally out.

Possible technical specification violation could result."

Correctita_ Action:

This control rod position indication (CRPI) problem has been a maintenance issue identified long before the Control Room Design Review deficiency was resolved.

The basic system design consists of the following: a stack of 30 transformer type coils (i.e., each has a primary and secondary winding) for each of the 24 control rods, and a series of 30 light-emitting diodes (LED) for each control rod.

Each LED represents 3 inches of rod motion.

A Technical Specification Limiting Condition for Operation (T.S. 3/4.1.3) is that all control rods shall be positioned within i 8 inches (indicated position) of every other rod in their group. This means that no more than two consecutive LEDs can be out (not illuminated) at any given time during plant operation. WPP74/35

'e Within the-last.three years, several major changes have been or are being done to improve the overall system' operation. The Vapor Container Ventilation System Cooling Water System Piping has been chemically

. cleaned and the two ventilation heat exchangers have been replaced and two are being replaced.

A small number of CRPI coils have been typically replaced on a rotating basis.- During.the 1990 refueling, approximately 1/3 of-the total number of colle will be replaced with a coil of higher temperature rating.

During: subsequent refuslings, the coils will continue to be replaced on a rotating basis. Coil stack polarity problems were discovered and corrected during the 1988 refueling.

Since the work described above has been completed and the coils are being replaced on a rotating basis, this issue is considered a maintenance item' and the HED is considered closed.

RCD No. 0149 status is now Closed.

In addition, it is felt that the 2400 V voltmeter and 480 voltmeter should be moved to enhance the display / control relationship.

Also, on CRDR Panel No. 10 (MCB Panel 9F), the display meters for circulating water pumps, condensate pumps, and heater drain pumps should E

be moved to enhance the display / control relationship.

The moving of indicators,is recommended over moving of controls to limit the possibility of inadvertent operation.

The proposed corrective action is:

l a.

Move Battery No. 3 ground voltmeter from each side of the L

synchroscope meters to below Battery No. 1 ground voltmeter.

.b.-

Move the 2400 V meter to the left of 2400 V bus voltmeter selector switches and demarcate.

c.

Move the 480 V meter to the right so that it lines up with the 480 V L

bus voltmeter selector switches on the bench board, d.

Move the display meters for circulating water, condensate, and L1 heater drain pumps so that they line up with their respective controls on the bench board section. The condenser back-pressure gauge will be. relocated on this panel as needed.

RCD Nos. 0146-ano 0142 noted that Sigma indicators use setpoint lights differently.

4 l

Sigma meters for SF-LIS-225A, and 224A (on the primary pumps control f

panel) have setpoint-lights on if pointer is between setpoints.

Sigma l

meters for DW-LI-230 ( on gravity drain transfer panel) have setpoint lights off if pointer is between setpoints. General operator preferences j

are to have setpoints off and then light if pointer goes outside the l

setpoint limits., Meter is Sigma 9262X zero-powered indicating y

alarm / controller.

1 The Sigma meters can be modified by moving the lights lead wire from the f

~

alarm points to the control points on the printed circuit boards.

I The proposed corrective action is - Modify meters for SF-LIS-225A, and

(

224A so that the setpoint lights come on only if pointer goes outside the setpoint limits.

Eroposed Corrective Action:

RCD Nos. 1098 and 0518 noted that LCV-220 and 221 controllers were 1

difficult to understand and that they were mounted 67" above the floor.

The mounting' height is within anthropometric guidelines. However, the open/close indication is confusing.

Proposed Corrective Action - Replace controllers with electroswitches and status. lights or with new control stations as determined by plant-l Operations Department and the required control scheme.

-i HED No.:

1422 RCD No.: 0392 Eroposed Corrective _ Action:

RCD No. 0392 noted that additional indication for steam dump position and digital indication for MC pressure and level is needed.

The finding was based on operator. comments. The operator survey summary was reviewed for additional details.

The survey noted that operators wanted steam dump position indication for the condenser -- this has been added by EDCR'83-3 during the.1984 refueling outage.

The survey also noted that the operators wanted a larger scale-for MC pressure at low i

operating pressures and a meter indication of pressurizer narrow-range level (at present only on strip chart).

Increased resolution of MC pressure is needed for LTOP operation when starting up from cold shutdown. The operators transition from low to high when T = 380'F and P = 450 psi, but must maintain pressure (prior to this transition) between 400 psi and 450 psi per OP-2100.

Eroposed CorrectiYn_ Actions:

1.

EDCR 89-305, " Reduced Inventory Operation and E0P Instrument Changes," will add a new narrow-range pressurizer pressure indicator with a range of 0 - 1,000 psig during the 1990 Refueling outage.

This will provide the Control Room operators with a more accurate measurement of MC pressure during reduced pressure operation.

2.

Add a new indicator for pressurizer narrow-range level. WPP74/35 c

  • Revised annunciator window layouts will be implemented to resolve the problems prioritizing, abbreviating, inconsistent type size, numbering, and clearing.

The revised layouts will be " test implemented" on the Yankee Plant Simulator to verify operator performance and acceptance. The revised layout will be based on the impact the alarmed condition has on plant operation and safety. All windows will be renumbered left to right. All windows will be re-engraved for consistency.

These findings originated-from a task analysis (I & C Needs Study) done by the original CRDR team using the emergency operating procedures (EOPs) that were in use at the time.

'Since that time, 1985, YAEC has implemented new E0Ps, as required by TMI action items. -The new E0Ps are based on the Westinghouse Owners Group Emergency Response Guidelines.. During the verification and validation phase.of the E0P: development, a task analysis was performed, including an instrumentation' and control (I & C) needs study. The identified discrepancies from the task analysis were resolved prior to the implementation of the E0Ps. A post-implementation inspection and walkdown of E0Ps was performed by the NRC and it was found and documented (Inspection Report No. 50-029/89-90, dated February 16, 1990) that the n

E0P: implementation program was excellent.
