'l Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation Items of Interest Week Ending December 3, 1993 Seouoyah Unit J CCS Check Valve Failures The Mechanical Engineering Branch and Projects staff participated in a conference call with Region II, the site Senior Resident and TVA/Sequoyah personnel about reported events and operability problems with check valves in the component cooling system (CCS) at Sequoyah Units 1 and 2.
The valves are 1 1/2 inch Hancock inverted T lif t check valves located at the high to low pressure interface in the reactor cooling pump thermal barrier portion of the CCS piping.
The licensee first discovered the inoperable check valves in Unit I and then brought Unit 2 to hot standby to inspect the same CCS valves.
The licensee found eight Unit 1 CCS check valves not operable:
seven failed to open and the eighth had internal parts incorrectly installed.
In the event of a pump thermal barrier heat exchanger rupture, the valves serve to isolate the low pressure CCS from cxposure to the reactor coolant system (RCS) pressure.
Two check valves in series in each of the four supply lines from the CCS to the reactor coolant pump thermal barrier heat exchangers are required to perform the safety function.
These valves had not been included in the in service testing (IST) program because the pump thermal barrier heat exchanger and CCS are not Code classed.
The licensee reported that the valves were never tested.
Based on discussions with the Region and subsequent review in September 1993, the licensee recognized the valves' safety functions and included the valves in the IST program in October 1993. The discovery of the valves inoperability was the result of the first IST of the valves.
The licensee's analysis indicates that the corrosion deposit build-up between the piston and valve body bore is the root cause for the failure of the seven check valves.
The licensee reported that results from a structural analysis performed on the low pressure portion of the CCS located in containment under the RCS pressure show that the integrity would have been maintained in the event of a heat exchanger rupture.
The licensee's near term plans are to clean the valve piston / bore interface surf aces and return the valves to service.
The resurfaced valves in Unit 2 will be subsequently tested in April 1994.
The long term fix involves consideration of replacements or modifications. The licensee has been in contact with the valve vendor with regards to causes and fixes.
Watts Bar Exit Meetin_g On December 3, 1993, Gary Zech, Chief of the Performance and Quality Evaluation Branch (RPEB) attended an exit meeting at the Watts Bar site of the staff's followup inspection of TVA's Program for Assurance of Completion and Assurance of Quality (PAC /AQ).
The focus of this week's inspection was on DECEMBER 3, 1993 ENCLOSURE A
2 Phase IV (Vertical Slice Reviews).
Phase V (Oversight of Operational Readiness) will be inspected sometime next spring after TVA has completed a major portion of its own operational readiness review. An inspection of Phases I thru III was completed in early September.
Bob Latta of RPEB was again the team leader with other team members from NRR, RES, AEOD and Region II.
PRA Action Plan On November 23, 1993, the Division of System Safety and Analysis hosted a planning and coordination meeting at the Holiday Inn Crowne Plaza, Rockville, attended by representatives from RES, AEOD and NMSS. The purpose of the meeting was to discuss the objective and scope of the staff's PRA Action Plan currently under development. The day-long meeting resulted in fruitful discussion among the program offices on the use of PRA techniques and resulted in agreement on follow-up actions to support development of a PRA Action Plan by December 30, 1993.
Oil Spill Prevention Conference Richard Eckenrode of the Human Factors Assessment Branch, participated as an invited panelist in the first Oil Spill Prevention Conference sponsored by the Washington State Marine Safety Board and Department-of Ecology, U.S. Coast Guard and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
Since it has been determined that human error is involved in over 80% of oil spill events, the subject of the conference was human performance in maritime transportation and -
oil handling industries. Mr. Eckenrode was part of a panel discussion with representatives from the FAA and NASA on how human error issues are addressed in non-maritime industries. The conference was attended by over 300 representatives from petroleum and transportation industries and State and Federal regulatory bodies.
Indian Point 3 The unit has been shutdown since february 26, 1993,'for the " Performance improvement Plan (PIP)" outage.
A Confirmatory Action Letter (CAL) that documents the licensee's restart commitments was issued by the NRC on June 17, 1993. The NRC's New York Power Authority (NYPA) Assessment Panel (NAP) continues to closely monitor licensee performance. The NAP also serves as the l
restart panel and has developed a restart action plan per NRC Inspection Manual Chapter 0350. NYPA's current schedule has Indian Point 3 ready for the NRC's Restart Readiness Assessment Team Inspection on February 14, 1994, with the plant on-line (breaker closure) in mid-April.
The service water system operational performance inspection concluded its 2-week inspection on November 15, 1993. A public exit meeting was held on December 3, 1993.
Prior to the start of the inspection, the Indian Point 3 Restart Action Plan had listed the resolution of service water system deficiencies as a specific NRC restart issue.
On November 20, 1993, by letter to Governor Mario Cuomo, Richard M. Flynn resigned as Chairman of the'NYPA Board of Trustees.
NYPA owns and operates DECEMBER 3, 1993 ENCLOSURE A

l the Indian Point 3 and James A.'Fitzpatrick power plants. The resignation will become effective on February 1, 1994. Mr. Flynn, who has been Chairman since 1985 and a trustee for more than 18 years, has accepted the position as Chairman of the Northeast Corridor Initiative Board, an organization involved in developing a-high speed electrified rail network linking major cities throughout the Northeast and in Eastern Canada. A successor to Mr. Flynn has not yet been announced.
l On November 24, 1993, the licensee made a 10 CFR 26.73 notification when a licensed senior reactor operator (SRO) provided a suspect (i.e., cold) urine sample during a random fitness-for-duty drug test. The licensee immediately collected a second sample which was witnessed and submitted it for analysis.
The SRO resigned shortly after the second sample was taken.
On November 30, l
1993, test results from the second sample indicated positive for drug use.
t Even though the individual is no longer a NYPA employee, the licensee continues to investigate the safety significance of the event since the individual was an on-shift SRO. Additional actions are being assessed by l
Region I and NRR.
Robinson Unit 2 - Auamented Insoection Team (AIT) Sent to Robinson and Siemens Power Corp.
On November 18, 1993, during restart following a refueling outage, Carolina Power &' Light Company (CP&L) placed Robinson 2 (HBR) in cold shutdown because of a concern with an incorrect core reload. The licensee was at 30 percent power when core flux mapping revealed core power distribution anomalies.
The cause was determined to be six improperly configured fuel assemblies in which the cs-loaded gadolinia poison pin locations within the new assemblies did not comply with the design specifications. The fuel assemblies were manufactured by Siemens Power Corporation in Richland, Washington.
3 The Region 11 Regional Administrator issued a confirmatory action letter to CP&L to complete the specific items identified in the letter.
From November 20 until November 23, 1993, an AIT investigated fuel-related problems l
at HBR discovered during the restart. The charter for the AIT included an investigation of the actions by the licensee, as well as an inspection of the manufacturing process / quality assurance at Siemens to assess generic
[
implications of the HBR fuel problem.
A supplemental AIT team is at Siemens the week ending December 3.
The Project Director and Project Manager will attend AIT exit at HBR on December 6, 1993, encompassing the investigations at Robinson, as well as those at Siemens.
l Susauehanna Steam Electric Station, Units 1 and 2 i
On October 29, 1993, an Augmented Inspection Team (AIT) was dispatched to Susquehanna to review the events and circumstances involving a series of fuel handling equipment problems that occurred during the current Unit l refueling outage. On November 18, 1993, a management meeting was held with Pennsylvania Power and Light (PP&L) in the Region I office during which the licensee present their assessment, root cause determination, corrective measures, and l
action taken in preparation for resurrpt,on of fuel handling activities.

November 19, 1993, Region I informed PP&L that the NRC agreed to resumption of refueling activities based on the information presented at the management meeting and the NRC's independent review and assessment of the licensee's revised procedures, additional personnel training, augmented qualification of operators and strengthened management oversight and control. The Confirmatory Action Letter was closed. On November 22, 1993, a public exit meeting was held near the Susquehanna plant for the AIT to present the conclusions from 4
their inspection.
The AIT concluded that operations management oversight'of fuel handling was weak and there were inadequacies in PP&L's previous root cause evaluations, independence of the reviews and the corrective actions taken.
PP&L had stopped reloading the core on October 28, 1993, and did not resume fuel handling until November 26, 1993.
Thus, fuel handling was suspended for 26 days.
On November 22, 1993, PP&L decided to replace all 20 of the 10" long jet pump.
hold-down beams in Unit 1.
This action was initiated as a result of information received from General Electric (GE) on November 20, 1993, on the metallographic examination of the #10 jet pump beam that failed at Grand Gulf on September 13, 1993.
During the current outage of Unit 1, PP&L had l
inspected all 20 hold-down beams.
In the November 20, 1993, correspondence to PP&L, GE noted that the hold down beams used by Grand Gulf and Susquehanna were of the same design, material, heat treatment, and were installed with the same 25 kip preload. The beams were fabricated of Inconel X-750 and the failure mechanism determined through metallographic examination for the Grand Gulf failure was inter-granular stress corrosion cracking (IGSCC). Approximately 80% of the crack cross section indicated IGSCC with the remaining 20% indicating ductile failure from gross overload conditions (fatigue failure).
PP&L confirmed there is no pre-failure operability test which would detect beam end cracking prior to failure.
In addition, PP&L noted that Grand Gulf 1
ran their daily jet pump surveillance two hours prior to the September 13 event without receiving any anomalous indications.
i The visual (VT) inspections that were performed prior to the Grand Gulf f
failure did not identify any beam cracking.
The ability of ultrasonic testing l
(UT) to detect cracking was also questioned for the beam ends since current methods do not address this location.
GE also identified that the beams used in all BWR-4, 5, 6's are manufactured at a single facility in Wilmington, DE.
To replace the hold-down beams, PP&L offloaded the 54 fuel assemblies that had been returned to the reactor vessel prior to the suspension of fuel handling on October 28, 1993.
Since the unit has been down since September 25, 1993, the recirculation pumps, RHR, core spray, control rod drive system, the reactor water cleanup system and the feedwater pumps were electrically disabled on November 29, 1993, to preclude inadvertent operation.
The 20 jet pumps have been detensioned, breaking the tack welds. The entire inlet / mixer subassembly on each jet pump will be removed to the equipment pool to key-hole saw the jet pump keeper for removal.
Replacement of the hold-down beams will delay startup of Unit I until early January 1994 DECEMBER 3, 1993 ENCLOSURE A

t Office of Nuclear Material Safety and Safeguards Items of Interest Week Ending December 3, 1993 Visit to Babcock & Wilcox-NNFD A Licensing Branch staff member visited Babcock & Wilcox Naval Nuclear Fuel Division (NNFD), Lynchburg, Virginia, on November 18-19, 1993, to conduct routine Material Control and Accounting (MC&A) licensing oversight activities. The main topics of discussion pertained to anticipated changes in processing operations and related MC&A activities as a result of the major cut-back in naval fuel production, and to revisions to the licensee's fundamental nuclear material control plan that will be necessitated by such changes.
l Cateaory i Fuel Cycle Licensees Implement Part 26 Fitness for Duty 1
Nuclear Fuel Services, Erwin, Tennessee, and Babcock & Wilcox Naval Nuclear Fuel Division, Lynchburg, Virginia, implemented 10 CFR Part 26 on November 30, 1993. Both licensees report that they are ready to begin random testing of individuals who require unescorted access to Category IA material. The Nuclear Regulatory Commission is currently determining the comparability of 10 CFR Part 26 to other fitness for duty programs which cover other government employees and contractors resident on these sites who require unescorted access to Category IA material.
Implementation of the rule came about after two meetings with the licensees to discuss implementation experience at power reactors.
Region 11 representatives will begin inspecting the implemented program in December 1993.
Meetina with Department of Enerav Contractors on Soent Fuel Issues A meeting was held on December 1,1993, between Office of Nuclear Material 1
Safety and Safeguards staff and BDM International, Inc., a Department of I
t Energy (DOE) contractor, to provide them with information on two issues associated with spent fuel.
The first issue involved what role the Nuclear Regulatory Commission might play in the return of U.S.-origin spent fuel from foreign research reactors. NRC's involvement was described as monitoring and supporting DOE's efforts to renew its Off-Site Fuels policy._ No further involvement, e.g., overseeing or licensing shipments, was anticipated.
The second issue concerned the Defense Nuclear Facilities Safety Board's (DNFSB's) recommendation that DOE sites that store' spent fuel meet NRC requirements for this type of facility.
The DNFSB is a DOE oversight board appointed by Congress. The NRC provided information and guidance on appropriate regulations (safety and safeguards) to the meeting participants.
t Visit by Japan Nuclear Fuel Limited Mr. Kawakatsu, Executive Managing Director of Japan Nuclear Fuel Limited (JNFL), visited Mr. C. Stoiber, Director, Office of International Programs and Mr. R. Bernero, Director, Office of Nuclear Material Safety and Safeguards. Mr. Kawakatsu is responsible for the construction and operation of the new Japanese reprocessing plant being built at Rokkasho-mura in Amori Prefecture. The purpose of his visit was to assure that there is adequate i

i liaison between the appropriate elements of the U.S. Government and-JNFL to take into account the need for International Atomic Energy Agency safeguards in order to meet the requirements of the U.S.-Japan Agreement for Nuclear
.j Cooperation. Mr. Kawakatsu mentioned that construction is well underway, i
that functional testing should start at the end of 1996, and that operation is planned for the year 2000.
Meetina with the DeDartment of Enerav Division of fuel Cycle Safety and Safeguards staff met on December 1,1993, with representatives from the Department of Energy Office of Safeguards and Security to discuss comparability of threat policy.
In addition, they agreed to begin development of a draft Memorandum of Understanding that would clarify l
and formalize the process by which comparability betw?en the two agencies is achieved.
D_0LPetition for Rulemakina on Vitrified Waste r
t On November 30, 1993, the Department of Energy (DOE) submitted a petition for rulemaking to amend 10 CFR 71.63. The petition, submitted under 10 CFR 2.802, requests that the Nuclear Regulatory Commission modify its rules for transportation packaging to exempt vitrified high-level waste canisters from the requirement for double containment.
These canisters would be used to ship vitrified high-level waste containing plutonium from DOE facilities in Savannah River, South Carolina, Hanford, Washington, and West Valley, New York, to a geologic repository. The Nuclear Waste' Policy Act requires that these high-level wastes be shipped to the repository in an NRC-certified shipping package.
Recent Events Concernina Ward Valley Low-level Radioactive Waste Disnosal Facility j
Two recent events may significantly affect the schedule for the operation of the California low-level radioactive waste disposal site.
In a letter of
[
November 24, 1993, to California Governor Pete Wilson, the Secretary of the Interior, Bruce Babbitt, declared he would postpone any further action on the transfer of federal lands for the proposed Ward Valley site in California.
Secretary Babbitt cited a challenge in California State Court concerning the issuance of the license for the construction and operation of the Ward Valley facility. He stated that "the challengers maintain... that a full adjudicatory hearing is required before the. licensing decision can become final," and since "the court is now being asked to order a' hearing at least as comprehensive as the one described in my August letter, it seems to me the proper course is to await the outcome of the State court litigation."
In August 1993, Secretary Babbitt had stated he was prepared to~ transfer the Ward Valley site after a hearing of several months duration was conducted.
If the hearing did not disclose important new information, Babbitt stated, he was
" prepared to make the transfer expeditiously." Governor Wilson provided Interior Secretary Babbitt with a detailed proposal for the requested hearing in September.

On November 18, 1993, Senator Boxer, of California, announced the formation of the W.A.R.D. Task Force (Warning About Radioactive Danger), a group established "to coordinate Federal, State and local officials' actions, along with those of concerned citizens, to ensure that Californians do not suffer in any way from the proposed Ward Valley radioactive waste dump." Senator Boxer also wrote to President Clinton, on November 20, and has stated that "...the scope of the hearing (required by Babbitt) is to be so restricted as to guarantee that many significant issues will remain unresolved.
...We must ensure that your Administration is not a party to a decision that could threaten the water supply of tens of millions of people in California, Arizona, and Mexico."
In a letter dated November 24, 1993, Senator Boxer thanked President Clinton "for deferring the transfer of Federal land for the proposed radioactive waste facility at Ward Valley and delaying the inadequate hearing planned by Governor Pete Wilson." Senator Boxer goes on to say that s
"af ter resolution of the State court actions we will still need a full and fair hearing to consider the full scope of issues raised by the proposal should it still be the policy of the State to move forward."
Finally, on December 8, Senator Boxer plans to release a new report on the Ward Valley site, prepared by three geologists who are employees of the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS).
The USGS employees, apparently acting as private citizens, wrote a June 2 memorandum cited by Boxer as evidence of outstanding concerns about the Ward Valley site.

Office of Nuclear Regulatory Research Items of Interest Week Ending December 3, 1993 PHEBUS Fission Product Pro.iect The first PHESUS-FP test, FPT-0 was successfully conducted on December 2, 1993. The FPT-0 test bundle used 21 fresh fuel rods and one control rod, and they were 1m in length. On November 21, 1993, the FPT-0 fuel was irradiated by the driver core held at a constant power of 18MW. The irradiation phase was completed on November 30, 1993.
The driver core was scrammed for 36 hours4.166667e-4 days <br />0.01 hours <br />5.952381e-5 weeks <br />1.3698e-5 months <br /> to allow for xenon decay because it is necessary to run the driver core at a higher power for the test.
The PHEBUS-FP project is sponsored by the Commissariat a l'Energie Atomique of France (CEA) and the Commission of the European Communities.
The USNRC participates in the PHEBUS-FP project through a cooperative agreement with CEA. The objective of the PHEBUS-FP project is to perform in-pile severe fuel damage experiments and study the fission product behavior and transport in the reactor system and the containment system. The integral experimental data obtained will enable the USNRC to validate its analytical models for fission product transport in the reactor system and containment, and for iodine chemistry in the containment.
The information will supplement that obtained under the NRC Severe Accident Research Program, and will provide confirmation for the revised source term as delineated in NUREG-1465, " Accident Source Terms for Light-Water Nuclear Power Plants."
In the morning of December 1,1993, CEA found six Greenpeace activists clinging to the " chimney" of the PHEBUS-FP facility with a banner citing
" Atomic Power is too dangerous to your lives."
It is unknown how these people got into a secured site like Cadarache, but one only has to get through the first fence erected around the site to reach the PHEBUS-FP building. By 2:30 p.m., the Greenpeace activists descended from the chimney voluntarily af ter TV crews taped their protest.
The Greenpeace activists were then treated to lunch and escorted off-site by security CEA is investigating how the perimeter was breached.
Af ter this incident was over, the experimental phase commenced on December 2, 1993. First indication of fission product release was observed at 12:00 noon (12/2/93), the control rod reached a temperature of 1000*C at 12:45 p.m.,
and a fuel temperature of 2500*C (4532*F) was achieved at 1:57 p.m.
The driver core was scrammed manually at 2:54 p.m. in accordance with the safety criteria established for test bundle shroud behavior (>l*C/s rise rate)
Melt relocation was expected at the time of the reactor scram. Most experimental data acquisition worked as planned.
Fission products were also detected in the simulated containment vessel as expected.
The operation of on-line acquisition of the experimental data will continue until December 6,1993.
It will take at least a year to complete detail chemical analysis of this test.

ASME Boiler & Pressure Vessel Code Meetina j
DE staff attended meetings of the ASME Boiler & Pressure Vessel Code writing committees in Atlanta, GA, during the week of November 15, 1993.
Of
}
particular interest to the staff are two items that were approved by voice vote during first consideration at the Boiler and Pressure vessel Committee (BPVC), but which pose technical concerns to the NRC staff.
The first item would eliminate the need for successive examinations for all subsurface flaws in vessels that have been approved for continued operation' by fracture
{
mechanics analyses. The second item would incorporate significant revisions to the rules for piping seismic design, including redefinition of the failure mode.
It is anticipated that letter ballots that would disapprove these items will be submitted, with explanation, by the NRC representative on the BPVC.
One or more negative letter ballots, during first consideration, will return an item to the cognizant subcommittee for resolution of the negative ballots.
Seismic and Geoloaic Sitina Criteria A public meeting was held on November 30, 1993, between representatives of l
NUMARC and the NRC. The purpose of the meeting was to allow NUMARC the opportunity to clarify its comments on the proposed revision of Appendix A j
to 10 CFR Part 100 and several regulatory guides.
NUMARC had proposed an entirely probabilistic seismic hazard analysis as an alternative to the NRC's probabilistic-deterministic approach required by the proposed regulation and described in draft Regulatory Guide DG-1015.
Several public meetings on this subject have been held during the past year and a half, and NUMARC's i
presentations at this meeting indicated that the positions of both sides are closer together.
During the course of the meeting, the NRC staff noted several areas in the NUMARC comment package that warranted inclusion of the technical basis or rationale for the comments.
The staff requested that NUMARC consider providing that information.
t Meeting of JCCCNRS Workina Groun 6 on Severe Accidents i
During October 25-29, 1993, in conjunction with the Twenty-first Water Reactor i
Safety Information Meeting, the Joint Coordinating Committee for Civilian Nuclear Reactor Safety (JCCCNRS) Working Group 6 on Severe Accidents held a l
meeting to discuss the status of various tasks outlined in the Implementing Arrangement on Severe Accident Research between USNRC and the Russian Research y
i Center (RRC) and its subsequent addenda (through Addendum 3).
Delegates from both the Russian Academy of Sciences (RAS) and the Russian Research Center l
(RRC) were present in the meeting with Dr. Bolshov leading the RAS delegation and Dr. Asmalov leading the RRC delegation. The USNRC was represented in the i
meeting by several members of the Accident Evaluation Branch led by the Deputy l
Director of Research, Themis Speis.
Among the items discussed in the meeting were the status of the hyd ogen combustion research at RRC, the lower head failure program at the RASPLAV facility, and the technical assessment of the CORCON-MOD 3 code at RAS.
This meeting was followed by another series of discussions between the RAS delegates and the RES/AEB staff the following week (November 1-5, 1993) on

A Notice of Violation and Proposed Imposition of Civil Penalty in the amount l
of $2,500 was issued on December 2, 1993, to Boston City Hospital.
This _
}
action was based on one_ Severity Level III violation. The violation involves' a failure to maintain access control to licensed' radioactive material, as l
required by 10 CFR 20.207.
(EN 93-116)
A Notice of Violation and Proposed Imposition of Civil Penalty in the amount-of $237,500 was issued on December 3,1993 to Northeast Nuclear Energy._ Company-(Millstone Unit 2). This action is based on the violations associated with i
the licensee's repeated attempts to repair a body-to-bonnet leak on a letdown.
valve that was unisolable from the reactor coolant system. Ultimately the repeated repair attempts resulted in the failure of one of the. valve's four bonnet studs which led to a reactor shutdown when the technical specification limit for reactor coolant system leakage was exceeded.
The three violations being cited have been combined into a single Severity Level III problem. The l
base civil penalty of $50,000 has been escalated 275 percent by applying the Enforcement Policy factors for NRC identification of the violations, insufficient long term corrective actions, poor past performance, and the j
duration of the violations.
In addition, given the egregious nature of the licensee management's failure to properly oversee this activity, the staff has decided to exercise discretion in accordance with Section VII.A.(1) of the Enforcement Policy and increase the proposed civil penalty an additional 100 percent. Therefore, on balance, the base civil penalty was escalated by 375 percent.
(EN 93-117) l A Notice of Violation and Proposed Imposition of Civil Penalty in the amount of 5200,000 was issued Thursday, December 2,-1993, to Tennessee Valley Authority.
The action was discussed in SECY-93-305 and approved by the.
Commission on November 30, 1993).

}
Civil Penalty Paid Como Plastics, Inc., Columbus, Indiana paid the civil penalty of $750.
This acticn was based on the improper transfer of two static eliminator devices i
each containing nominally 10 millicuries of polonium-210. The base civil penalty for a Severity Level III violation is $500.
The civil-penalty was initially mitigated 50% for the licensee's corrective _ actions, but this was i
offset by 100% escalation for the licensee' poor performance (i.e. five devices have been lost since July 1988. On balance the civil penalty was'
