Inspection Summary

Inspection Conducted September 15 through October 24,1990 (Report 50-482/90-32)

'

L

Areas Inspected:

Routine. unannounced inspection including plant status,

1

operational safety verification, surveillance observations, maintenance

l

observations', prompt onsite response of an event at operating power reactors,

'

review of licensee event reports, and followup on previously identified items.

Results: Within the areas inspected, one noncited violation was identified

(failure to follow procedure).

The noncited violation concerned failure to

properly utilize the industry technical information program (paragraph 8).

The

inspector found a spread of contamination outside of a designated " contaminated

area," which appeared to be an isolated event in the licensee's radiological

controls area (paragraph 3).

Examples of good quality verification were

demonstrated by the identification and resolution of defects found in certain

snubber parts assemblies and in the licensee's response to a pinned spring can

(paragraph 4).

Insufficient human factors considerations contributed to

procedural weaknesses in a surveillance test procedure (paragraph 4).

Control

of troubleshooting and maintenance was good (paragraphs 3, 4, and 5) although

inattention to detail caused control of two auxiliary feedwater valves to shift

Plant Status (71707)

The plant operated at 100 percent power during the inspection period,

except for brief reductions to 98 percent power to conduct surveillance

tests.

3.

Operational Safety Verification (71707)

The objectives of this inspection were to ensure that the facility was

being operated safely and in conformance with license and regulatory

requirements to ensure that the licensee's management control systems were

effectively discharging the licensee's responsibilities for cont'nued safe

.

.

operation. The methods used to perform this inspection included direct

observation of activities and equipment, tours of the facility, interviews

and discussions with licensee personnel, independent verification of

safety system status and limiting conditions for operation (LCOs),

corrective actions, and review of facility records.

'

Areas reviewed during this inspection included, but were not limited to,

control room activities, routine surveillances, engineered safety

feature (ESF) operability, radiation protection controls, fire protection,

security, plant cleanliness, instrumentation and altrms, deficiency

reports, and corrc cive actions.

Selected inspecto' observations are

discussed below:

a.

3prend of Contamination Beyond a Contamination Boundary

On September 19, 1990, during a routine tour, the inspector found

water stlashing from the "B" centrifugal charging pump (CCP).

The

licersee had shut off the positive displacement charging pump to

repa.r the speed controller and was running the "B" CCP in the

interim.

.eak off past the pump bearing and seal was dripping into a

'

temporary p'astic catch device.

However, the device was collapsed

and ineffective at collecting the leak-off. During the time that the

"B" CCP was n,t running, the leak-off, although not contained by the

device, did not spread beyond the roped-off contaminated area of the

pump and its foundation. With the room cooler and pump both in

operation, however, the additional air currents appeared to cause the

leak-off water to splash beyond the roped off area.

The splashing

was small but sufficient to cause a spread of contamination. The

inspector notified health physics (HP) of the potential contamination

and the HP technician found that the floor in the area of the

splashing was contaminated.

HP took appropriate actions to rope off

the area to limit further spread of contamination.

This appeared to

be an isolated event in the licensee's evaluations of and actions

taken to limit the spread of contamination,

b.

Spurious Tripping of Diesel Generator Room Supply Fan "B"

On October 3, 1990, control room personnel were reviewing existing

plant status during shift turnover and noted that there was no

l

indication that the diesel generator (DG) Room Supply Fan "B" was

operating.

Personnel were dispatched to verify the problem, and it

was determined that the DG Supply Fan "B" supply breaker had tripped.

The breaker was reset and the fan began running.

Since the cause of-

the breaker tripping was not known, however, the DG "B" was declared

i

inoperable at the time that the condition of the fan trip was first

,

l

identified at 7:09 a.m.

l

Technical Specification (TS) Action Statement 3.8.1.1d.1 requires

Diesel Generator "A" was considered to be administrative 1y inoperable

becausa the airconditioning unit that supplies cooling to the

Train "A" DG switchgear was out of service for maintenance.

The

plant safety review committee (PSRC) met at 8 a.m. to discuss the

situation and evaluate the criteria for requesting a temporary waiver

of c.ompliance from TS 3.8.1.1d.1, while DG Room Supply Fan "B" was

troubleshot.

Electrical maintenance personnel continued work on air conditioning

Unit SGK-05A and determined that a problem existed on the thermal

i

overloads associated with the molded case circuit breaker. As work

proceeded on both components, licensee management contacted RIV to

request a temporary waiver of compliance.

A conference call with

RIV, Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation (NRR), and licensee

management was held at approximately 10:30 a.m.

Since the licensee

did not restore DG "A" to operable status within 2 hours2.314815e-5 days <br />5.555556e-4 hours <br />3.306878e-6 weeks <br />7.61e-7 months <br />, a shutdown

-

of the plant was required.

The licensee planned to initiate reducing

power at 11:09 a.m., 2 hours2.314815e-5 days <br />5.555556e-4 hours <br />3.306878e-6 weeks <br />7.61e-7 months <br /> after entering the 6-hour power

reduction requirement.

This was based on the ability to conduct an

orderly shutdown within 4 hours4.62963e-5 days <br />0.00111 hours <br />6.613757e-6 weeks <br />1.522e-6 months <br />. A temporary waiver of compliance

was not required, however, because the breaker for SGK-05A was

replaced and an operability run was successfully performed.

The troubleshooting efforts on the DG Room Supply Fan "B" continued.

The control circuit was monitored and no further instances of the

breaker tripping occurred. On the basis of previous troubleshooting

(WR 04839-90) results, the nuclear plant engineering group reviewed

,

and approved a change to increase the instantaneous trip setting of

'

the breaker from 2 to 3.

The PSRC approved the change at 10:50 p.m.

on October 5, and the breaker was declared operable on October 5,

,

1990, at 3 p.m.-

Additionally, a modification was being pursued by

the licensee to eliminate the potential for a high starting current,

-

which may have tripped the breaker.

Notwithstanding the above, HP controls appeared to be effective during the

. inspection period.

The involvement of HP personnel was evident during the

plant tours and observation of the maintenance activities.

Plant security was found to be generally-professional and in accordance

with the security plan. The inspector observed portions of security

drills conducted during both dayshift and backshift during this inspection

period.

Control of troubleshooting and maintenance activities were good.

4.

Surveillance Observations (61726)

The purpose of this inspection was to ascertain whether surveillance of

safety-significant systems and components was being conducted in

a%ordanca with TS.

Methods used to perform this inspection included

direct observation of licensee activities and review of records.

_

.-

,

.

-6-

The following surveillances were witnessed and/or reviewed by the

inspectors:

.

STS AL-201, Revision 9, " Auxiliary Feedwater System Inservice Valve

Test," performed September 28, 1990.

During performance of STS AL-201, the licensee was testing the stroke

,

time for the auxiliary feedwater system flow control valve to Steam

Generator"D"(ALHV-5).

Lack of procedural clarity resulted in

initial problems during the test.

First, during the closure of the

valve, the operator was to observe an indicator light on the ESF

status panel being lit. However, the indicator light was lit white

while the valve was open and turned red when it began to close.

The

procedure did not specify which color to observe. The procedure also

specified that the AL HV-5 (a two-speed valve) was to be slow closed

to obtain the required stroke time.

The procedure did not specify

the open speed for the open stroke time. As a result, the operator

opened the valve in slow speed and found that the stroke time was

unacceptable before he realized the intent of the procedure was for

AL HV-5 to be stroked open in fast speed.

The inspector observed the

operators prepare a procedure _ change to address the indicator light

question, and the operators stated that they would verify which open

speed was correct and initiate a procedure change to specify the

correct opening speed of AL HV-5.

STS SF-001, Revision 1, " Control and Shutdown Rod Operability

Verification," performed October 12, 1990.

On October 12, 1990, Procedure STS SF-001, " Control and Shutdown Rod

Operability Verification," was being performed in accordance with

TS 4.1.3.1.2.

This surveillance verifies the operability of each

full-length rod not fully inserted in the core by movement of at

least 10 steps in any one direction. At 7:33 a.m., during the

perfo_rmance of the surveillance test, Control Bank A, Group 1 Rods,

?

H-6 and H-10 digital rod position indication (DRPI), did not show

'

movement'when rod movement was demanded. No alarms were received.

I&C personnel were sent to investigate the problem under Work

Request (WR) 05061-90 and-the surveillance test was terminated.

At-8:57 a.m., I&C reported that the stationary grippers for rods H-6

and -10 were not releasing.

Since Control Rods H-6 and -10 were

still capable of being tripped because a trip signal would remove

power from the s'tationary grippers,-TS 3.1.3.1, Action 4, was defined

at 9:12 a.m.

Action 4 of TS 3.1.3.1 requires that the inoperable

rods be returned to operable status within 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br /> or be in " Hot

Standby" within the next 6 hours6.944444e-5 days <br />0.00167 hours <br />9.920635e-6 weeks <br />2.283e-6 months <br />.

Troubleshooting and repair work

was accomplished and control room personnel performed STS SF-001

satisfactorily. At 5 p.m., TS 3.1.3.1 was exited.

The inspector witnessed the troubleshooting, card replacement, and

surveillance test.

The troubleshooting appeared to be well

organized, preplanned, and performed by experienced personnel. One

.

.

.

, . .

..

-7-

inspector observation noted was the acceptance criteria for voltage

measurements and traces were not specified in the steps developed

prior to performing the troubleshooting but were verified from the

vendor manual that was at the job site and documented in the WR,

Mechanical Snubber Assembly Spare Parts Testing

On September 12, 1990, the 1::ensee identified that three of five

replacement parts for 1/2-inch size mechanical snubber assemblies had

failed 20 percent load tests onsite.

The onsite test is performed to

20 percent of the rated load of 650 pounds. One earlier failure

occurred in 1987.

There were two of these spare part assemblies

installed in the plant and the licensee removed one of the snubbers.

In the other case, previous analysis by the licensee showed that the

snubber was not required and would not affect the piping by either

locking up or by breaking free.

The licensee returned the removed

-

part assembly, as well as other representative samples of spares,

from the warehouse and provided them to the vendor for further

,

testing. .The results of the vendor tests indicated that the parts

were found to routinely fail below the expected 1500-pound acceptance

point.

The removed part failed at about 125 pounds, while four

others failed at between 145 and 655 ,aunds.

The failure mechanism

appeared to be inadequate crimping of two rods into a cylindrical end

piece.

The rods pulled free of the end piece during tension tests.

The crimp dents were described by the licensee as being shallow

compared to similar parts from another lot. The licensee purchased

the entire lot of 20 assemblies from the vendor.

The licensee also

stated that the vendor, PSA, issued a Part 21 report, but that they

do not believe there are other defective parts in distribution.

Spring Can Hanger Inspection

A spring can hanger was found pinned by the licensee, and was

discussed in NRC Inspection Report 50-482/90-31.

This condition

restricted pipe movernent on one side. The licensee issued a

programmatic deficiency report, PDR OP 90-181. A review of

documentation by the licensee did not reveal the need to have the

spring can hanger pinned. As a result, the licensee was unable to

l-

determine the root cause of this deficiency.

To assure that other

l

hangers did not remain pinned, the licensee conducted a sample

L

inspection of 32 of 198 safety related hangers and 80 of

902 nonsafety-related hangers of similar configuration. There were

no pins found installed in the inspected hangers.

Insufficient human factors considerations contributeo to procedural

I

weaknesses in Surveillance Test STS AL-201.

Root cause analysis and

I.

quality. verification were good regarding defects found in certain snubber

.

parts and in response to a pinned spring can.

Maintenance Observations (62703)

The purpose of inspections in this area was to ascertain that maintenance

activities on safety-related systems and components were conducted in

accordance with approved procedures and TS.

Methods used in this

inspection included direct observation, personnel interviews, and records

review.

Portions of selected maintenance activities regarding the WRs

were observed. The WRs and related documents reviewed by the inspectors

are listed below:

Rework check valves in the auxiliary feedwater lines (WR 04333-89).

"B" DG supply fan breaker tripped (WR 04941-90).

On October 8, 1990, troubleshooting was performed on Control Room

!

Cabinet RP053BB to determine if there were variations in the voltage

being supplied to the control circuitry for the DG supply fan.

The

troubleshooting activity involved the connection of two channels of a

!

four-channel recorder to the 115-volt power supply.

Inadvertently,

leads were swapped and the -15-volt supply was connected to a common

terminal which shorted out the power supply. As a result, control of

auxiliary feedwater (AFW) System Valves HV-7 and HV-12 shif ted to the

auxiliary shutdown panel.

This condition was annunciated in the

control room.

The I&C technician removed the leeds immediately and

control room personnel were sent to the auxiliary shutdown panel to

restore the switches to the remote position.

The annunicator cleared

<

and the indication showed control being in remote. Although the

event was caused by personnel error, work controls appeared to be

adequate for the circumstances.

The same activity was observed by

the inspector on October 9, 1990, and no problems were noted.

"B" RHR pump breaker inspection and testing (WR 5196-90).

'

Replace pipe insulation to condensate storage tank (WR 07062-90).

Install valve for isolating BB-PCV-8034 (WR 02930-90).

Control Rod Group 1 did not move (WR 05061-90).

With the exception of inattention to detail by a technician, which caused

control of auxiliary feedwater valves to transfer to the auxiliary

shutdown panel, control of troubleshooting and maintenance was good.

6.

Prompt Onsite Response to Events at Operating Power Reactors (93702)

At 1:33 a.m., CDT, on October 25, 1990, the plant experienced a partial

i

loss of offsite power.

Four breakers in the switchyard opened

automatically to isolate the east bus. The power supply from the east bus

is used as the normal supply to the "A" train emergency bus, NB01. Upon

loss of power to NB01, the "A" emergency diesel tenerator (EDG)

automatically started and closed in on NB01 in 8 seconds. The shutdown

from another independent offsite power source at 4:25 a.m. and restored

safety systems to their normal lineup. The plant remained at 100 percent

power throughout the event, supplying power through the west bus.

Electricians from system operations initially found a Phase "A" fault in

Breaker 345-90, one of three main breakers on the east bus.

Breakers 345-60 and -120 opened to isolate the east bus and Breaker 345-80

The operators and

opened to isolate 345-90 from the west bus.

The inspectors will review the LER for the event and will report any

findings in a subsequent inspection repcrt.

7.

Review of Licensee Event Reports (LERs) (92700)

During this inspection period, the inspectors performed folls

n

WCGS LERs. The LERs were reviewed to ensure that:

Corrective action stated in the report has been properly completed or

work is in progress;

Response to the event was adequate;

Response to the event met license conditions, commitments, or other

applicable regulatory requirements;

The-information contained in the report satisfied applicable

reporting requirements; and

Generic issues were identified.

The LERs discussed below were reviewed and closed:

During the performance of $fS AL-211, Revision 3, " Turbine Driven

Auxiliary Feedwater System Flow Path Verification and Inservice Check

Valve Test," the levels in Steam Generators A and C reached the

high-high level. A feedwater isolation signal and main turbine trip

signal occurred.

The cause of the event was procedural. inadequacy

that led the operators to believe that the four check valves (one per

each steam generator) were to be tested simultaneously. This required

feeding 140,000 pounds-mass per hour which was higher than steam flow

for the existing plant conditions.

Procedure STS AL-211 was revised

on June 28, 1990, to clarify that only one check valve be tested at a

time. Operations personnel have been reminded of their authority to

suspend testing if necessary to preclude plant transients. On the

basis of these corrective actions, this LER is closed,

'

b.

(Closed) LER 482/90-003, " Control Room Ventilation Isolation and

Containment Purge Isolation Caused by High Gaseous Activity During

-

Containment Vent."

On March 20, 1990, shortly after initiation of a containment vent,

CPIS and CRVIS isolation signals were received.

The probable cause of

the high activity was a vent line installed from the pressurizer

relief tank (PRT) to the containment shutdown purge ductwork that had

been left open while the purge was not in progress.

This allowed an

accumulation of higher activity air to build up in the duct. When

the purge was started, the concentration of radioactivity in the air

being exhausted was sufficient to generate the isolation signals.

Caution statements have been added to Procedure GEN 00-007,

Revision 13, "RCS Drain Down," dated July 26, 1990. These cautions

state that when venting to the purge ductwork from the PRT or vessel

!

head, the duration of time when the purge is shut down should be

minimized.

These changes to the procedure should prevent farther

events of this type.

This LER is closed.

8.

Followup on Previously Identified NRC Items (92701 and 92702)

a.

(Closed) Unresolved Item 482/8929-02, Resolve Inadequacy of

Containment Cooler Supports. This item concerned the delay from the

time the licensee became aware of a question concerning the seismic

qualification of the containment cooler supports and when the issue

was resolved.

The licensee initiated Programmatic Deficiency

Report (PDR) NP 90-01, on November 18, 1989, after determining that

personnel had failed to follow KGP-1311, Revision 2, " Industry

Technical Information Program," that required placing applia b?e

incoming vendor technical information in industry technical

information program (ITIP). The licensee performed a review of r,ther

problem information requests (PIRs) provided by Bechtel and found

that there were other PIRs that were not entered into the licensee's

ITIP.

Those items were subsequently entered in the ITIP for

tracking.

The failure to follow KGP-1311 is an apparent violation of

,

TS 6.8.1.a (482/9032-01).

Because the criteria specified in

)

Section V.A of the Enforcement Policy was satisfied, a cited violation

will not be issued. The unresolved item and the noncited violation

are closed.

b.

(Closed) Violation 4 2/8905-03, Failure to Update Drawing. This

,

item concerned a drawing in the control room that had not been

redlined to reflect field implementation and partial closeout of a

plant modification.

The licensee revised Procedure ADM 01-042,

Revision 16. " Plant Modification Request Implementation," to require

that drawings be marked with red lines to indicate changes before

)

affected systems are returned to service.

This includes

modifications that are completely installed as well as partially

installed.

In addition, ADM 01-228, Revision 2, " Temporary

Modifications," requires that control room drawings be marked with a

green line to reflect installed temporary modifications.

This item

is closed,

c.

(Closed) Violation 482/8908-01, Inadequate Procedures.

This item

concerned failure to include consideration of a potential release of

radioactivi contamination in a fire h uards analysis.

The licensee

performed an analysis that found that the dose rate of the material

in the area of consideration would have needed to be greater than

1000 mrem /hr to exceed 10 CFR Parts 20 and -100 limits.

The licensee

performed surseys of the areas and found the highest dose rate

measured was 15 mrem /hr.

Further, the inspector reviewed Procedure

KPN-D-316, Revision 3, " Fire Protection Review," and associated Forms

KEF-D-316-1 and -2.

The procedure requires the use of the checklists

in the forms during fire protection review applicability screening.

Form KEF-D-316-2, Step 3.6, questions an increase ir. the amount of

radioactive material that can be released in the event of a fire.

This item is closed.

d.

(Closed) Violation 482/8927-01, TS Surveillance Requirement

Improperly Performed.

This item concerned performance of a

surveillance test of service water flow through the containment

coolers.

Since the violation was issued, TS Surveillance

Requirement 4.6.2.3.a.2 has been changed to verify a flow rate

greater than 1,850 gallons per minute (gpm) rather than the previous

minimum of 2,200 gpm.

Procedure STS EF-925, Revision 3, " Containment

I

Coolers Flow Verification," requires the new flow rate minimum.

In

,

'
