Meetino Summary

Enforcement Conference on November 19. 1993 (Report No. 50-331/93021(DRP) i

Areas Discussed: One apparent violation with two examples identified during-

the inspection was discussed along with the corrective actions taken or i

planned by the-licensee. This. apparent violation involved the inability of

the *B" standby diesel generator (SBDG) to automatically supply.~ power to .

essential bus IA4 had offsite power been lost. In the first example, the "B"

SBDG was inoperable for a time in excess of that. allowed by technical  :

specifications. In the second example, core alterations were in progress

while both the "A" and "B" SBDGs were inoperable contrary to technical.

specifications. ,

2. Enforcement Conference j

An enforcement conference was held in the NRC Region III Office cn

November 19, 1993. This conference was conducted as a result of the i

'

findings of inspection conducted from August 24 through October 14,

1993, in which two examples of an apparent violation of NRC regulations I

were identified. Inspection report (IR) 50-331/93015(DRP), dated

November 5, 1993, documented the results of the inspection.

The purpose of. this conference was to discuss the apparent violation, j

root causes, contributing factors, and the licensee's corrective i

actions. During the enforcement conference, the licensee presented the

event investigation, safety significance, causes, and corrective.

actions.

.

The licensee's presentation contained no significant additions to the

description of the event documented'in IR 50-331/93015(DRP).

In addition to the corrective actions documented in IR 50-

331/93015(DRP), the licensee's presentation indicated that the following i

additional corrective actions had been taken:

2

l

l

l

P

'

..

I

  • A description of the event was placed on the " Notepad" network for

the Institute of Nuclear Power Operations and on the nuclear plant

reliability data system.

,

1

! * The licensee attended a workshop sponsored by the Nuclear

Maintenance Application Center, a subgroup of Electrical Power

Research Institute, to review the event and draft a revision to

i EPRI's 4160 Vac circuit breaker maintenance procedure

recommendations.

l

  • Event specific train'ig was completed for all plant operating i

crews.

l' * All maintenance electricians were trained on the details of the

event and the corrective actions in place to prevent recurrence.

  • The licensee determined that the issue was not reportable under

10 CFR Part 21. However, the licensee committed to review its

initial evaluation.

,

  • Labels were attached to the 4160 Vac circuit breakers stating that

the correct breaker plunger was to be verified when a circuit

3

I '

breaker was " racked in."

  • Licensee event report 50-331/93-008 was issued on October 18,

1993, which described the event.  !

l

  • The licensee presented the results of its risk assessment of the I

"B" SBDG being inoperable during power operations and while core I

alterations were in progress. The licensee concluded that even

though the core damage frequency was slightly increased, prior ,

training, outage risk management, and existing plant procedures i

minimized the overall risk to the plant and the public. l

In addition to the corrective actions documented in IR 50-  !

331/93015(DRP), the licensee's presentation indicated that the following

additional corrective actions were planned or under consideration ,

following the "B" SBDG being inoperable for a time in excess of that l

allowed by technical specifications: '

  • The circuit breaker vendor, General Electric (GE), planned to

issue a Service Advisory Letter (SAL) describing the issue'.

  • The licensee contracted with GE to review the revised 4160 Vac ,

circuit breaker maintenance procedure. It planned to wait until  !

GC completed the evaluation before the revision was issued. .

APPARENT VIOLATION

,

Duane Arnold Energy Center technical specification 3.5.G.1

states that with one standby diesel generator (SBDG)

inoperable, continued reactor operation is permissible for the i

next 7 days unless the SBDG is made operable. If that  ;

condition is not met, an orderly shutdown shall be conducted  !

and the reactor shall be taken to hot shutdown within the next.

12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br /> and taken to cold shutdown within the following 24 '

hours. Technical specification 3.9.D.1. requires that with core

alterations in progress, one SBDG be operable with its

associated standby gas system train and its main control room

ventilation standby filter unit subsystem. If that condition can

not be met, core alterations are not permitted.

CONTRARY TO THE ABOVE

i

a. On July 21,1993, with the reactor operating at approximatel

75 percent power, the "B" SBDG became inoperable. The "B"

SBDG was not restored to operable status within 7 days and

the reactor was not taken to hot shutdown within the next 12 '

hours, or cold shutdown within the following 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />. ,

l

b. From August 7 to 11,1993, with core alterations in progress,

the "A" and "B" SBDGs were inoperable.

l

l

i

The apparent violatio.ns discussed in this enforcement conference are

subject to further review and may be subject to change prior to any 1

resulting enforcement action.

- Existing procedures provide the necessary guidance to  ;

reenergize the essential bus.

- A blind test was run on two operating crews. Both crews

identified the failure and reenergized the bus within 5-

l

minutes.

- Event-specific training has been completed for all  !

operating crews.

- 1992 licensed operator continuing training speci5cally

addressed 4160v distribution and the diesel generator

CORE OFFLOAD EVENT

e Fuel offload commenced on 8/7/93 and was completed on

8/11/93: a total of 4.25 days.

e Tech Specs require one offsite power source, and one

diesel generator to be operable during fuel movement.

e 'A' diesel was out of service for planned maintenance.

e 'B' diesel was available with the exception of the capability .

of the diesel generator's output breaker to automatically

close in on the essential bus.

e The probability of a fuel handling accident concurrent

with a LOOP during the 4.25 days of fuel movement

(while assuming both diesels inoperable) is 6 x 10E-8.

This assumes no operator action.

e This probabilityis remote and does not significantly add

to the overall probability of a release.

e Secondary containment was intact and would isolate

on a LOOP.

  • The essential bus could have been reenergized from the

Control Room with minimal operator action.

CORE OFFLOAD EVENT

e Prior to RFO12 an independant shutdown risk review

of the outage schedule was performed.

e The risk factor during fuel move was only 4.5% of the

Phase 1 risk

planned main (even with the 'A' diesel inoperable for

tenance).

e With the 'B' diesel inoperable and no operator actions,

the relative risk during this time frame is increased to

only 4.83% of the highest risk phase of the outage (Phase 1).

e The increase is minimal due to the aredetermined plant

configuration during this phase of the outage:

- all 'B' side safety systems were considered protected

- the reactor cavity was flooded

- two fuel pool cooling systems were availaable

- both SBGT trains were operable

- both S/U and S/B transformers were available

- work in the switchyard was prohibited

e Due to preplanning, the LOOP scenerio only accounts

for approximately 2% of the risk during this phase.

s The probability of a concurrent LOOP and fuel handling

accident is low.

e The second inoperable dieselincreases the probability

of boiling to less than 5% of other acceptable phases

of the outage.

  • Operators were trained on the outage risk study prior

to RFO12.

'

e Operations was kept informed of daily outage risks including

equipment out of service and time to boil.

  • Outage preplanning and defense in depth minimized the

effect of the 'B' diesel inoperability.

SAFETY SIGNIFICANCE CONCLUSIONS '

!

!

  • Iowa Electric fully recognizes the importance of  :

maintaining our diesels in an . operable status. o

e The inability of the 'B' Diesel to automatically  ;

supply power to its essential bus had a small-

i

effect on risk even without operator actions.

l

e This failure was analyzed prior to the event and is l

included in both the online and RFO12 risk l

analysis. 1

u

e The operators had been trained on how to  ;

recover from the event and.were well informe'd i

of the current status of plant safety systems and .

time to boil during RFO12.

  • RFO12 risk assessment and preplanning

minimized the effect of both diesels being inop

during core offload using the defense in depth

philosophy.
