o WEEK ENDING SEPTEMBER 14, 1990 NRC Dbservation of INP0 Evaluation Team A member of the Performance and Quality Evaluation Branch (LPEB) is accompanying-

.an INP0 evaluation team at Point Beach.

Stewart D. Ebneter, Regional Adminis-trator, Region II, will observe the last.few days of the evaluation. NRC staff are observing the INP0 evaluation process in order to determine the emphasis

'l and quality of maintenance area evaluations. These observations are part of a broad staff assessment of the status of maintenance in the industry and the industry commitment to improving maintenance.

NCI Task Group Members of the Division of Radiation Protection and Emergency Preparedness attended a meeting of the Task Group on September 12, 1990 for the purpose of preparing a management briefing package regarding the National Cancer Institutes report, " Cancer in Po>ulations Living Near Nuclear Facilities."

?

individual plant data exhibits isolated deviation (both positive and negative) from a relative risk value of 1.0, the point at which the observed cancers exactly matched those expected.

International Visit on High-Level Waste Staff from the Division of High-level Waste Management and the Office of l '

I Governmental and Public Affairs met wich representatives from the French Nuclear Protection and Safety Institute, and the Central Service for Nuclear i

Installation Safety on September 11, 1990. Topics discussed included problems being encountered in the United States with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency high-level waste standard and similar issues in France.

In addition, the French gave a presentation on the ongoing waste site inves-tigation activities. :This included a summary of the activities in the four different media being explored, clay, granite, salt, and schist. During the

' discussion, the French noted that the Prime Minister had placed a one year moratorium on any work on the high-level waste program. The Prime Minister's action was a result of local opposition c.t the four sites. Also discussed was the waste vitrification process in France, and the similarities and differences in the quality control techniques being employed by the French and United States glass producers. Finally, a discussion on quality assurance

-issues in the high-level waste area was held.

1989 Accident Sequence Frecursor Report The 1989 Accident Sequence Precursor (ASP) report, NUREG/CR-4674 Volumes 11 and 12, has been published and distributed. This report provides a quantitative evaluation of significant operating events described in licensee event reports during 1989. It provides a safety significance perspective of 1989 operating experience. There are no precursors in 1989 with conditional core damage probabilities higher than IE-3. There are seven precursors in 1989 with conditional core damage probabilities in the 1E-4 to /E-4 range, with the steam generator tube rupture at McGuire-1 (LER 89-004 having the highest conditional core damage probability (7E-4).

'I Nine Mile Point Units 1 and 2 Unit 1: Power Ascension Update The licensee-achieved criticality on 7/29/90. One forced-shutdown and two manual scrams occurred during the period. The forced shutdown on 7/30/90 was initiated to correct high-drywell leakage caused by a damaged electromatic l

relief' valve (ERV) downcomer vacuum breaker and two leaking ERVs.- The manual 1

scrams on 8/6/90 and 8/19/90 were initiated as a result of excessive vibration

!on the main turbine.

The unit is currently operating.just below 25% which is the upper limit of the first plateau in the-Power Ascension Program.- The licensee has completed all testing and other activities scheduled for Phase I of the Power Ascension i

Program.;. As required per Supplement I to Confirmatory Action Letter 88-17, e self-assessment of operation was presented to the NRC Restart Panel on 9/10/90 prior to increasing power to the next plateau (25% to 75%). After completion of' actions initiated by the. licensee, as a result of lessons

Team Leader Counterpart Meeting

- Approximately 60 Regional and Headquarters inspectors and managers participated

in a team leader counterpart meeting September 4-6, 1990. The objectives of the meeting were to improve team leader skills, promote group identity, and i

identify team leader qualification and training requirements. Messrs. J. Sniezek,

-T.:Murley, and B. Davis gave senior NRC perspectives on the inspection process, team leaders, and the Regulatory Impact Survey. A number of important issues Lwere discussed during the meeting, including whether written inspector questions were acceptable, quality of.NRR team members, announcement of team inspections and multiple discipline teams to perform core inspection modules.

Public Meeting On September'6, 1990, the Director, DREP, participated with Regional Administrator, Region I, in a public meeting in Plymouth, Massachusetts.

The purpose of the meeting was to allow the NRC staff to hear directly from local officials who are involved in emergency preparedness planning around the Pilgrim Nuclear Power Plant. The information received will assist the staff l

in evaluating the continued progress in offsite emergency planning and prepared-

-i ness for Pilgrim.

In addition, DREP staff members EPB were viriting emergency response organizations in the vicinity of the Pilgrim site to collect current data for a report to the Comission on the status of offsite emergency preparedness around Pilgrim.

Pneumatic Supply. AEOD/E90-08 Duringatestofthe' low-temperature,overpressureprotection-(LTOP)systemat Point teach, Unit 1, the licensee determined that the system was inoperable

~because the. stroke time for the power opertted relief valve (PORV) was greater.

than that assumed. in the safety evaluation report for the LTOP system. The delayed stroke time was caused.by an inadequate nitrogen gas supply that is used as a backup to the normal-air supply to actuate the valves. There were four

. Other plants that reported similar problems with backup pneumatic systems since 1987.

The issue of inadequate nitrogen supply was first highlighted in Information Notice 82-45. Generally, the problem is caused by excessive pressure drop or 1eakage in the backup gas supply lines and no surveillance on stroke time with the backup gas supply.

Information Notice 89-32 addressed surveillance requirements for LTOP systems, but did not specifically include testing the l

backup pneumatic supply-system.

Suggestion was made to issue a supplement to the Information Notice 89-32.

Los's of Off-Site Power to Comply with NRC Regulations. AEOD/T90-12 During trouble shooting of the station auxiliary transformer, the transformer faulted and caused both reactor recirculation pumps to trip at Brunswick Unit 2, a boiling water reactor (BWR).

In accordance with NRC Bulletin No. 88-07,.

Supplement 1, " Power Oscillations in Boiling Water Reactors," Unit 2 was manually scramed although the licensee-knew the scram would also result in a loss of off-site power (LOOP) to Unit 2.

Since a loop is not a desirable transient, the circumstances of the event were investigated to determine if the regulatory bulletin may be responsibe for other undesirable transients at

.the BWRs. We found that no additional scrams had occurred due to licensee compliance with NRC Bulletin No. 88-07 or Supplement 1.

AE0D also_ concluded that the LOOP at Brunswick Unit 2 was not caused by lack of adequacy with the Bulletin, but by the licensee's failure to take all necessary actions'in response to the Bulletins.

' September 13, 1990 to MQS Inspection, Inc., Elk Grove Village, Illinois.

The action was based on an overexposure event which resulted in four violations of NRC requirements. There violations were:

(1) exceeding the whole body dose limit during a calendar quarter,_(2) failure to i

survey the circumstances of the radiographic exposure device following an exposure,-(3)failuretoreporttotheNRCwithin24hoursaneventwhich threatens to cause exposure to the whole body of 5 rems or more of radiation,'and (4) failure to survey and lock the exposure device after each et,osure. The: licensee responded to the Notice in a letter dated May 9, 1990. The licensee denied Violation C'(reporting requirement),.

protested the imposition of the civil penalty and requested 100% mitigation.

After. careful consideration of the licensee's response, the staff has-concluded that the violation did occur-as set forth in the Notice of L

L Violation and Proposed Imposition of Civil Penalty.

A Notice of Violation-and Proposed Imposition of Civil Penalty in the L

amount of $1,875 was issued September 14, 1990 to St. Luke's Hospital, L

Cleveland, Ohio. This action was based on a therapeutic misadministration that resulted from. failure to check a patient's planning chart prior to o

L

. administration. Additional violations of reporting requirements as to

. therapeutic misadministrations are cited without civil penalty. The base.

civil penalty was mitigated for identification and reporting and corrective action, but was escalated for past performance, with a net mitigation.of 25%.

Civil Penalties Paid 1

a 1.- ' Somat Engineering, Inc., Taylor, Michigan paid the civil penalty in the.

amount of.$125. The action was based on failure to maintain constant-contro's over a moisture density gauge.

In this case, an. employee made a conscious decision to' leave the gauge unattended in an unrestricted

~

l.

area for-a'short time while he drove to a telephone to make a call.

2.

U.S. Department of Agriculture, Washington, D.C. paid the civil penalty in the amount of $5,000. The action was based on fifteen violations that, L

^

L when viewed collectively, demonstrate a lack of management oversight.

Significant among these violations, was a failure to ensure that facilities 1

under this broad license were inspected internally by the radiation safety' staff at required frequencies. The violation was identified during NRC L

inspections in 1988 and 1989.

'Second Building On September 12, the White flint North Limited Partnershi) filed an application with Montgomery County for er "xcavationpermitforTwoW11teFlintNorth(TWFN).

The new appraiser, contracted by GSA to review the TWFN site, met during the.

week with the developer's representatives to discuss' the property. Completion of the appraisal is not expected by GSA until early October.

Completion of the systems furniture standards review by Dewberry & Davis' interior design' group has been delayed about two weeke. The delay, which is not critical to the overall project schedule, resulted from a decision by the developer's managing architect-for the TWFN. project to require a redesign of the proposed.proto-typical floor layout submitted by Dewberry & Davis. The Office of Consolidation needs the proto-typical floor layout to determine the space utilizatinn efficiency factor which,'in turn, will determineithe overall space. requirement in the building, and how the various organizational units and activities wit 1' fit onto the floors.

New Reg Cafe During the week, the contractor for the outdoor furniture, Architectural Precast,. Inc., told the Director, CONS, that the company had decided to completely; replace the-existing furniture with new, redesigned-equipment.

Vermont Yankee Fuel Assemble' Failure 1

During the past operating cycle, Vermont Yankee ex)erienced fuel failures.

Using data collected during the operating cycle, tie licensee was able to

~

predict.the approximate number and locations of the failed fuel assemblies in the reactor. As part of a sipping, plan, all bundles % these suspect 1

areas have been tested by the licensee and 4 leaking fuel assemblies have been identified. Three of the four assemblies-have been in the reactor core for three operating cycles and are scheduled to be discharged to the i

spent fuel pool. The fourth assembly was new when installed during the February 1989 refueling. As part of the normal outage activities, General Electric was contracted to come in and, using an underwater periscope, perform visual ins)ections of some of the fuel.

In particular, GE was asked to look at tiose fuel assemblies which were determined to have failed i

and to determine the mechanism of failure. The inspection of the fourth assembly identified one of its 60 half inch diameter fuel rods as being s

failed. The. failure appears to'have occurred as a result of a manufacturing defect; however, further analysis by the fuel vendor is required to determine-the actual cause. The failed rod has a crack which has allowed some of the uranium pellets normally contained in the rod to erode.

. Point Beach Nuclear Power Plant Approximately 150 dout,le crested corriorants have been found dead in the t

water intake forebay at the plant. These birds, which are a large migratory waterfowl, are a protected species.

Point Beach has a large doughnut shaped intake structure about 300 yards offshore that resembles a rocky island, which is a favorite roosting place for the birds.

In the process of diving for fish, they are possibly being drawn into the intake piping where they drown. This is the first such occurrence of these birds roasting at the plant. The licensee is taking action to remedy the 11tuatien. An air horn was installed at the intake structure to frighten off the birds, with limited success. A chain link fence is being considered to cover the intake structure.

Representatives from the State r

of Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service are investigating this issue.

Perry Nuclear Plant On September 7, 1990, the plant's main turbine was removed from the grid connencing the licensee's second refueling outage.

Following main turbine overspeed testing, a reactor shutdown by control rod insertion was commennd. riowever, at about 10 percent reactor power, the licensee einted to complete the reactor shutdown by performing a manual scram du6 to a failure in the motor driven feed pump and increased turbine driven feed pump vibration at the low feed flow conditions. The plot responded as expected to the manual scram with reactor water level control maintained with the reactor cbre isolation cooling system. One anomaly N eurred while securing the turbine driven feed pumps when the "B" pump could not be tripped from the control room, in addition, when the eight main steam isolatiot valves (MSIVs) were closed by a " slow close" method, 5

MSlYs 22C & 28B reopened. Also, a reactor water cleanup system isolation L

occurred cu high delta flew. The isolation signai was reset and the cause is being investigated. Major work planned for thir outage includes refueling, replacement of all 19 safety relief valves replacement of reactor recirc pump shafts, and overhaul of an emergency diesel generator.

The outage is currently planned to last about 80 days.
