Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation Items of Interest Week Ending August 20, 1993 FEMA Countersions MOU on Radioloaical Emeroency Plannina and Preparedness (EP)
By letter of August 12, 1993, FEMA's acting Associate Director, State and Local Programs and Support, informed the NRC that he had countersigned the new
" Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) Between NRC and FEMA Relating to Radio-logical Emergency Planning and Preparedness." The new HOU, dated June 17, 1993, supersedes the MOU of April 9, 1985, (published April 18, 1985, 50 FR 15485). The principal changes the new MOU addresses:
(1) withdrawal of
" reasonable assurance" findings, (2) recovery from disasters affecting offsite emergency preparedness, and (3) review of applications for early site permits (under NRC's rules in 10 CFR Part 52).
FEMA will arrange for the new MOU to be published in the Federal Reaister.
Vendor Branch Inspection at GE Nuclear Enerav To Review OA Procram and Controls for SBWR Test Activities During the week of August 9-13, 1993, the NRC's Vendor Inspection Branch led a team inspection at the GE Nuclear Energy (GENE) office in San Jose, California. The purpose of the inspection was to determine if the activities performed as part of the Gravity Driven Cooling System (GDCS) Integrated Systems Test (GIST)) program were conducted under the appropriate provisions of the GENE 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, quality assurance program, as I
implemented by the " Advanced Light Water Reactor Quality Assurance Program i
Plan" (QA Program Plan), prepared for Department of Energy Contract No. DE-AC03-86SF16563 and also to review the input modeling of the TRACG computer code for the GIST facility.
The results of the inspection indicate that the GIST program and supporting independent design verification activities for the TRACG computer code were conducted without implementing appropriate Appendix B quality assurance measures and controls expected for safety-related activities. Specifically, the code qualification document (CQD), Licensing Topical Report NEDE-32177P, "TRACG Qualification," February 1993, submitted to the NRC for review and approval for referencing in licensing actions for the SBWR, did not receive independent design verification as would be required for a level I computer code used to support design basis analyses. This CQD provides a description of the qualification of TRACG against various activities including the GDCS integrated systems test. The lack of independent design verification for TRACG also raises concerns with the validity of other calculations included in Chapter 15 of the SSAR.
The classification of the GIST test program as a non safety-related developmental test is not consistent with GE's QA procedural requirements because the GIST output was used as input for TRACG qualification for a specific SBWR design application.
Finally, the GIST Design Record File (DRF A00-0217), did not include or reference the appropriate supporting quality test records such as; as-built design drawings, Final Test Report NED0-3168, instrument calibration records, TRACG calculational notebook information, applicable nonconformance reports, and GIST data tape references.
AUGUST 20, 1993 ENCLOSURE A

In response to the above findings, GENE comitted to (1) verify the input deck modeling for the TRACG code and rerun TRACG for GIST, as part of the design review to upgrade TRACG to a level 2 code and, (2) attempt to backfit the GIST DRF to represent a safety-related test and therefore include all the required QA controls and backup documentation.
NIST Small-Scale Fire Tests of Fire Barrier Materials During the period of August 4-13, 1993, NIST conducted a series of small-scale fire endurance tests for the Plant Systems Branch (SPLB). These small-scale tests were conducted as part of SPLB's on-going evaluation of fire barrier performance and will be focused on fire barrier materials other than Thermo-Lag. This series of fire tests evaluated the thermal performance cf Thermal Ceramics FP-60, 3M Interam, and Eternit Promat fire barrier materials. No significant concerns have been identified to date. The test results are provided below.

System 80+ SGTR Containment Bypass In SECY 93-087, the staff recommended, and the Commission approved, a policy requiring applicants for design certification for passive and evolutionary PWRs to assess design features which mitigate the amount of containment bypass leakage that could result from steam generator tube ruptures (SGTRs). The scenario of concern assumes a SGTR which leads to the opening of a Main Steam Safety Valve (MSSV).
Should the MSSV fail to reseat following the reduction in main steam line pressure, an unisolable pathway would exist between the AUGUST 20, 1993 ENCLOSURE A

Reactor Coolant System (RCS) and the environment. The staff requested ABB-CE to evaluate and report on possible enhancements to the CE System 80+ design for minimizing the probability of containment bypass as a result of SGTR.
On August 16, 1993, representatives of ABB-CE met with NRC senior management to discuss the issue of SGTR as a mechanism for containment bypass. ABB-CE presented the results of analyses of five-tube SGTR events with emphasis on determining the amount of time available to operators prior to a MSSV opening.
The presentation included an analysis which assumed the existence of a Nitrogen-16 (N-16) detection system to identify the affected SG and to initiate mitigating actions (e.g., RCS depressurization). As a result of the meeting, ABB-CE and the staff agreed that ABB-CE will:
- 1) continue their analyses assuming only one failed SG tube; 2) perform analyses assuming the existence of an N-16 system to isolate the affected SG, initiate auxiliary pressurizer spray, and lower the turbine bypass valve setpoint (in an effort to prevent MSSV opening); 3) begin design assessments on an N-16 system which initiates actions to mitigate the effects of a SGTR while analyzing the effects of spurious N-16 system operation. The analyses (and some of the engineering) are targeted for completion in approximately 2 weeks. ABB-CE will be providing the results of this effort to the Reactor Systems Branch as they become available, and will provide their assessment of the feasibility and effectiveness of such a system to reduce SGTR bypass.
Reactor Pressure Vessel level Instrumentation The licensee for WNP-2 reported on Friday, August 13, 1993, a level offset in t
one channel of its level instrumentation during startup. The divergence was first noted at about 8 psig during heatup and increased slowly to a maximum of 12 inches with pressure at about 15 psig. At this point the level difference began to decrease and finally converged at a pressure of about 56 psig. The i
licensee postulated the presence of gas bubbles migrating between vertical and horizontal sections of pipe, and shrinking with pressurization as the cause.
)
The licensee did not take any special measures to backfill the leg either during the preceding cooldown nor during the heatup. Since no " notching" had been noted in this leg during the previous cooldown, it is unlikely that non-condensible gases sufficient to cause large level errors are present. The staff is continuing to investigate this level offset.
7 Eurry Units 1 & 2 - Notice of Unusual Event (NOUE)
At 0635 EDT on August 16, 1993, the licensee declared a NOUE when they lolt meteorological indication in the main control room. The cause of this event i
is attributed to a large bird (Blue Heron) flying into a power line which i
resulted in a short which, in turn, caused the loss of meteorological indication in the control room.
During attempted re-energizing of the
{
circuitry, a metering device emitted a fireball which caused a minor brushfire. The power line has been repaired and power has been restored to the meteorological tower. The NOUE was terminated at 1044 EDT on August 16, 1993.

Items of Interest Week Ending August 20, 1993 Inauaural Meetina Under Research Contract with Purdue University to Perform SBWR Inteoral Thermal - Hydraulic (T/H) Testino A meeting was held with Purdue University on August 17 to discuss detailed planning for the SBWR T/H loop design and test program. The planned facility is 1:4 height,1:400 volume scale, which should provide a favorable representation of multidimensional phenomena.
It is intended to provide data on the operation of passive safety features of the SBWR including the Gravity Driven Cooling System and the Passive Containment Cooling System. The experiments will be initiated at reduced pressure (1 MPa) and continue into the long term cooling phase. The contract calls for facility design, construction, and testing. The contract duration is three years and calls for experimental data to be available in conjunction with the SBWR design certification schedule. The data, along with data from GE's testing programs in GIST, GIRAFFE, and PANDA, will be used to assess and validate the linked RELAP-CONTAIN codes. The meeting demonstrated the Purdue University personnel's indepth knowledge of scaling and the detailed planning that had gone into the preliminary design at the facility and provided confidence in their ability to design and conduct a successful loop design and test program.

A Notice of Violation and Proposed Imposition of Civil Penalty in the amount of $75.000 was issued on August 17, 1993 to the GPU Nuclear Corporation (0yster Creek). The action was based on five radiological controls violations that were identified as the result of two entries made into a highly contaminated high radiation area without proper radiological controls.
Collectively, the violations have been classified as a Severity Level III problem. The base civil penalty of $50,000 has been escalated a total of 50 percent to $75,000 based on the prior performance and corrective action factors.
(EN 93-081)
A Notice of Violation and Proposed Imposition of Civil Penalty in the amount of $1,000 was issued on August 18, 1993 to the Environmental Protection Agency Laboratory, Port Orchard, Washington. The action was based on a Level III problem involving improper disposal of licensed material (two 20 mci Nickel-63 and two 250 mci Tritium gas chromatograph sources) failure to conduct periodic inventories of licensed material, inadequate control of licensed material in storage, and inadequate training of personnel working in restricted areas.
The $500 base civil penalty for the Level 11 problem was escalated 100 percent for prior opportunity to identify the violation.
(EN 93-082)
An Order Imposing A Civil Penalty in the amount of $37,500 was issued on August 20, 1993 to Babcock and Wilcox Company, Lynchburg, Virginia. The action was based on a number of violations involving the failure to establish or adhere to nuclear criticality safety (NCS) limits and controls, and the failure to conduct audits and correct audit findings. The licensee responded to a Notice in a letter dated May 6, 1993. After careful consideration of the licensee's response, the staff has concluded that the violations occurred as set forth in the Notice of Violatir?, and Proposed Imposition of Civil Penalty, and the licensee did not provide a sufficient reason to mitigate the proposed civil penalty.
(EN 93-030A) l Civil Penalties Paid Hobile Cardiovascular Testing of Milwaukee, Wisconsin paid the civil penalty in the amount of $2,500. The action was based on 12 violations that in the aggregate indicate management's failure to oversee the NRC licensed adiation safety program. Examples of the violations include the failure to: conduct area radiation surveys at the end of the work day; control licensed materikl; conduct training; and properly dispose of radioactive waste. The civil penalty adjustmer.t factors of the NRC Enforcement Policy were considered and on balance no r.djustment to the amount of the base civil penalty was warranted.
(Ed 93-150)
Commonwealth Ednua Company (Dresden) paid the civil penalty in the amount of
$75,000. The action was based on two violations that have been collectively classified as a Severity Level III problem. The first violation involves the licensee's acceptance of, without prior NRC approval, changes made to Unit 3, specifically modifications to the containment cooling service water system, AUGUST 20, 1993 ENCLOSURE K l

that involved unreviewed safety questions. The second violation involves the
]
inadequate safety evaluation that was performed, pursuant to 10 CFR 50.59, which led the licensee to conclude that the changes to the containment cooling service water system did not involve unreviewed safety questions. The base civil penalty of $50,000 has been escalated 50 percent based upon NRC identification of the violations.
(EA 93-019)
Mercy Memorial Medical Center, St. Joseph, Michigan paid the civil penalty in the amount of $6,250. The action was based on two Severity Level III problems involving the quality management and radiation safety programs that resulted i
in a misadministration to a patient and an unwarranted exposure to the attending nurse. Neither the misadministration nor the unwarranted exposure appeared to be significant from a health and safety standpoint. However, the j
NRC is concerned about the program breakdowns and the substantial potential l

NRC identified it. The base civil penalty of $2,500 involving the unwarranted l
exposure and substantial potential was mitigated 50% each for identification and corrective action, but was escalated 100% for duration.
In sum, the total 1

Aareement State Manaaers Workshon i
The Office of State Programs sponsored an Agreement State Managers Workshop on t
August 17-19, 1993 in Hunt Valley, Maryland. Chairman Selin provided opening i
comments to the workshop participants in which he outlined the Commission's t
plans for strengthening the Agreement State program.
Included in these plans are the development of common performance indicators; the review of actions to ensure that potentially inadequate State programs receive necessary attention; review of State staffing deficiencies and fee structures; and insuring the accurate and complete reporting of abnormal occurrences and radiation events.
Additional issues discussed by the Chairman were: the compatibility policy and the length of time it takes States to adopt regulations; consolidation of Agreement State policies and guidance into a single document; financial requirements for decontamination and decommissioning; the medical licensing program and the Site Decommissioning Management Plan and the potential extension of this program to the Agreement States. All of these topics were extensively reviewed and discussed by the workshop participants.

Millstone Unit No. 2 On May 24, 1993, Millstone Unit No. 2 developed a body to bonnet gasket leak in a 2" diameter, Velan gate valve in the unisolable section of the CVCS letdown line.
It appears that, without adequate engineering analysis, the licensee installed Furmanite injection ports and injected the valve to stop the leak.
Preliminary ir. formation indicates that, in installing the injection ports, one of the four closure studs was damaged by the drilling process. The valve leak reoccurred several times and each time the licensee injected additional Furmanite.
It appears the valve may have been injected as many as 30 times from early June through August. Subsequently, while injecting the valve on August 5,1993, one of the four closure studs failed and a leak of approximately four gallons per minute developed. The licensee declared an unusual event and shutdown the plant (see PNO-I-93-39).
Preliminary inspection by the resident inspector and a regional specialist has disclosed the following:
AUGUST 20, 1993 ENCLOSURE R
The drilling operation to install the injection ports passed beyond the gasket outside diameter and into the seating area contrary to instructions.
Initial installation of the injection ports was not performed using any engineering analysis. Consequently, the ports were placed in the stud anchorage stress field. Subsequent engineering involvement directed that port installations be made outside of the stress fields. Additional port installations were made in the stress field contrary to the instruction.
The body to bonnet parting line of the valve was peened to develop a dam to limit the extrusion of Furmanite. The instructions prohibited the peening from being continuous around the valve.
The work crews ignored this instruction.
There was limited involvement of quality control in the work i
process.
The licensee is conducting a detailed root cause analysis and extensive metallurgical examinations that should be concluded in two to three weeks. The region is following this activity for any generic implications.

South Texas Pro.iect. Unit 1 The unit entered Technical Specification 3.0.3 and commenced a cooldown from Mode 3 at about 4 p.m. CDT on August 13, 1993. Mode 3 had been entered on September 12 to allow testing of the turbine-driven auxiliary feedwater pump. On August 13, the licensee declared the four main feedwater isolation valve bypass valves inoperable after finding that the Valtek, air-operated, spring-to-close valves had insufficiently strong springs to hold the valves closed against steam generator pressure. This was determined after one of the valves drifted approximately 10 percent open during heatup and the licensee contacted the vendor to determine the design pressure differential for which the valve should remain closed. The vendor's answer was 847 psid. With downstream check valve leakage, the valve is subjected to up to full steam generator pressure. The licensee made a report per 10 CFR 50.72 and planned a Notepad entry.
The unit was subsequently cooled down and will be defueled in preparation for steam generator eddy current testing. The portions of auxiliary feedwater pump testing which were completed were satisfactory, but the major tests were not completed prior to the required cooldown.

Seouoyah Fuels Corporation On August 17, 1993, Sequoyah Fuels Corporation, a subsidiary of General Atomics, informed NRC Region IV that it may have inadvertently released licensed material when it sold 5 fluorine cells to a nonlicensed company 4
in Pennsylvania. The licensee found natural uranium while investigating anomalous readings inside a water jacket of a separate fluorine cell.
The water jacket contained water that was used to heat electrolyte during system startup and, after the reaction began, was used to cool the electrolyte. The water was contained in a closed system that supplied steam and heated water to other plant systems that processed 4
natural uranium. The licensee has contacted the nonlicensed company and is continuing its investigation. The licensee expects that some small amount of licensed material was released (less than 20 grams per cell),
and the quantity is not expected to pose an undue risk to the general public. Region IV is continuing to follow the situation.
