LICENSEE: Philadelphia Electric Corpany EVALUATION PERIOD: December 1,1984 to Anuary 31, 1986 PROJECT MANAGER: Robert E. Martin

1. INTRODUCTION This report presents the results of the evaluation of the Philadelphia Electric Ccmpany (PECo), the licensee and applicant for the Limerick Generating Station, Units 1 and 2, respectively, in the functicral area of Licensing Activities.

The approach used in this evaluation is consistent with the provisions of fWR Office Letter No. 44, NRR Inputs to SALP Process, dated January 3, 1964, which requires that each organization responsible for preparir.g a Safety Evaluation provide a SALP input upon completion of the evaluation. The staff has applied the SALP evaluation criteria for the perfomance attributes based on first hard experience with the licensee or with the licensee's submittals.

The individual SALP evaluations for each rated issue were assembled into a retrix (See Appendix A). Those data were then used, with appropriate weightino factors for the importance to safety of the licensing issue, to develop the overall evaluation of the licensee's perfonnance. The assessments for the individual ratings were also tempered with judgrent regarding the appropriateness of the rating for the specific licensing issue.

This approach is consistent with NRC Manual Chapter 0516, which specifies that eadi functional area evaluated will be assigned a performance category based on a composite of a number of attributes.

II.

SUMMARY

OF RESULTS The licensee has, in general, continued the high level of perfornance of the previous two SALP evaluations in the Licensirg Activities area. There were a few exceptions to this general high level of perfornance; specifically, they were the initial handling of the remote shutdown system redundancy issue and the safety parameter display system issue. However, the licensee's response to staff inquiry in these areas was vigorous and technically sound.

Overall, the licensee's strong points are the approach to problems fron 6 sr.fcty standpcint, the responsiveness to NRC concerns, the qualifications and depth of staffing and the reporting of events. Senior managen.ent centrol is widely opparent dod particularly When a respcnse to a problem is Called for. A weak point ruy be the area of ensuring that all regulatory is!ues are adequately followed during the transition period from concerns that primarily involve NTOL issues to concerns that primarily involve operating reactor issues.

~

1 Dased on the assessment approach dcscribed in the Introduction, the licensee's performance in the functional area of Licensing Activities is rated Category 1.

III. CRITERIA The seven evaluation criteria as given in NRC Manual Chapter 0516 (Table 1) were used in this assessment. In addition, housekeeping in and around the

. plant is also discusscd. These criteria are as follcws:

A. Management involvement in assuring quality B. Approach to resolution of technical issues from a safety standpoint C. Respcnsiveness to NRC initiatives D. Enforcement History

  • E. Stcffing (including management)*

F. Reporting and analysis of reportable events G. Training qualification and effectiveness

  • H. Housekeeping
  • IV. PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS The licensee's performance for the Licensing Activities functional area was evaluated for four of the eight criteria listed above. The data base of experience in this rating period for the remaining four criteria (asterisked abose) was

~

much smaller than for the other four criteria and therefore, only a summary com-ment is provided for those criteria.

This performance assessment is based on the staff's evaluation of the licensee's performance in support of licensirg actions which had a significant level of activity during the assessment period. These actions included nurerous ASLB and ASLAB activities including an ASLB hearing on the Graterford prisoner offsite emergency evacuation issues, preparation of three supplements to the SER, pre-sedtation of the proposed full power license to the Commission and operation of the plant in the startup testing program throughout most of the rating period.

An extensive effort was required by the staff ano the licensee to support these actions during the rating period. Those actions which were explicitly identified as completed licensing actions and reported in SER supplements are listed below (21 actions).

1. On-site Meteorological Measurements (III.A.2)
2. Pipe break jet impingement loads
3. Environmental Conditions Inside Primary Containment
4. Findings of RG 1.97 review
5. Heavy Loads Handling - Phase II
6. Tornado Missile Effects on Ultimate Heat Sink
7. Fire Protection System - Completed Modifications
8. Shift Advisor Qualifications
9. Independent Design Verification Program Evaluation -
10. Pelief per 10 CFR 50.55 for Revision 5 of IST program
11. Relief per 10 CFR 50.55 for Preservice Inspection Prograt iters
12. Initial Containment Inerting per 10 CFR 50.44

. 13. Remote Shutdown System Redundarcy

14. Solio Radwaste Process Control Program
15. Offsite Emergency Planning
16. Generic Letter 83-28, Iten 1.1
17. Detailed Control Room Design Review
18. Containment Isolation Dependability (II.E.4.2)
19. Emergency Plan Exercise Schedule
20. Generic Letter 83-28, Items 3.1.3 and 3.2.3
21. Safety Parameter Display System A. Management Involvenent And Control In Assuring Quality The licensee's management participated directly in almost all of the najor licensing activities addressed in this report. Notable examples of the positive contributions as a result of this management involvement as well as the several areas which could have benefited from additional attenticn are summarized below.

The reviews for all of the items listed above in Part IV, except where discussed below, were tinely, thorough and technically sour.d. Subsequent

requests for information were not required to support resolution of these issues.

The Senicr Vice President for Nucleer Power was directly involved in supporting the staff's site visit of Decenber 20, 1984 to confirm features of plant design related to the ultimate heat sink tornado missile issue.

  • The resolution of the IDVP ittm concerning pipe break jet impingement loads required several meetings and licensee submittals. However, these were accom-plished vigorously over a short period of time and upon identification of the angJyses required to address the issue, the licensee's corrective action dencn-strated initiative in responding to the issue and resulted in resolution of the Concern.
  • The resolution of the redundancy in remote shutdcwn equipment issue required several iterations and submittals to ensure that all of the required information had been adequately provided to the staff. However, once this information was received from the licensee in a sufficiently detailtd and verifiable form it showed that the issue was technically resolved and that all but a few of the required hardware modifications had been completed.

There was only one occurrence during the rating period involving a breakdchn in management control of licensing activities. This cccurrence involved imple-menting a FSAR schedular commitment and associated license condition and the failure of the licensee to notify the staff in a timely manner that the schtdule for tFe startup testing of the safety paran.eter display system (SPDS) would reed to be amended. Hevever, the licensee's corrective action was prompt and thorouch.

This experience was a departure f rom the licensee's cverall excellent record in anticipating future needs and in communicating information of significance to licensing issues to NRR in a timely, thorough and technically sound manner.

  • The licensee's Superintendert for Plant Operations participated in a meeting with the staff to ensure that the applications for license amendecnts were tech-i nically corrplete and contained adequate bases for the deteminotions on sigrificant hazards consideraticns and environmental impact assessmerts. The proposed license amendrtents involved the Technical Specifications in regar!i to surveillance intervals on check valve and isolation valve testing.

Management participation was particularly evident in the development and ir:plementation of a corrective action program in response to the relatively high rate of reportable events experienced in the early months of licensed operation.

4 During this assessment period several changes in managenent responsibilities occurred in response to the transition in plant status frcr a construction /

, preoperational state to an operating state. The plant staff was reorganized to provide an additional Superintendent reporting to the Plant Panager to provide for improved control of the activities of Plant Services and of Plant Operations. Also, with the change in status to an operating plant, the corporate staff in the Electric Production Department undertakes certain functions in l supporting licensing activities with the NRC staff. Coordination of comuni-cations between the NRR staff and personnel in the Electric Production Department, the Engineering and Research Department, which previously had sole responsibility for dealing with NRR licensing issues, and the plant staff has been accomplished

__ in a very effective manner.

On the basis of these observations a rating of catcgory 1 is assigned for this attribute. However, it is reccirrended that the licensee continue to ensure that a broad oversight be maintained to ensure that forthcoming schedular requirements are continually recognized and responded to in a timely manner.

B. Approach to Resolution of Technical Issues From a Safety Standpoint Most of the technical issues considered during this rating period were portions of larger issues from the previous rating period. With only a few exceptions, which had relatively minor consequences from a safety standpoint and are discussed above, the licensee's management and staff continued to demonstrate a thorough

, understanding of the issues. This understanding was often reflected in the adequacy of initial responses to issues. For exanple, for 11 (Items 1, 3, 4, 5, i 8,12,14,16,17,19, and 20) cf the 21 actions listed earlier in Part IV, no further information, beyond the initial response which was reviewed in this rating pericd, was required to permit closure of the issues. For other issues, which did require iterations to achieve resolution (Itens 2, 6, 11, 13, anc 21) the final resolution proposed by the licensee was conservative and technically sound.

On thc basis of these observations, a rating of Category 1 is assigned for this attribute.

C. Responsiveness to URC Initiatives With only a few exceptions (e.g., remote shutduwn systen redundancy and safety parameter display system) wherein the licensee allowed a substantial fraction of the available time for dealing with an issue to expire before submitting the response to the staff, the licensee's record en this attribute is excellent.

4 e - _ _ , _ - . _ _ . , - - , , - _ _ _ . _ . _ , . ,- _

. The licensee has been prepared to support meetings and discussions with the staff as frequently and in as much depth as required to reach a te.chnically sound and thorough resolution. This was apparent in our reviews of the pipe break jet impingement loads issue, the tornado missile effects on the ultimate heat sink issue, the IDVP, the preservice inspection program, the remote shutdcwn system, the DCRDR and the SPDS issues.

It is a characteristic of this licensee that schedule cornitments are met or the staff is advised of the need and the associated basis for readjustment of any schedules.

On the basis of these observations a rating of Category 1 is assigned for this attribute.

3i . D. Enforcement History The bases for our assessments en this topic are the Project Manager's observations of various events which took place during the rating period. These events were principally addressed by cffices other than NRR and are considered to represent highlights of this attribute for this rating period.

On May 30, 1985, a Notice of Violation and Proposed Imposition of Civil Penalties

_ was issued to the licensee concerning physical protection requirements of Limerick and control of radiological hazards to werkers at the Peach Bottom plant. These issues were of concern because they raised questions regarding the adecuacy of licensee oversight of the performance of contractors at the plants. The licensee did not contest and promptly paid the civil penalty of $50,000 for the Severity Level III problem at Limerick.

Early in the operating life at Limerick, Unit 1, a greater than desirable frequency of yeportable events was experienced by the licensee. An NRC Inspection Report of February 11, 1985 documented the staff's concerns. The licensee's response, provided during a neeting on February 22, and in a letter dated April 2,1985, described the corrective action program. The program included attention by senior management, an Independent Safety Engineering Group (ISEG) investigation and addressed the areas of 1) modifications to eliminate recurring design ceficiencies, 2) actions to address personnel errors, and 3) prograrrinatic improvements. The corrective actions appear to have been effective as borne out by the subsequent significant reduction in frequency of reportable events.

No event to date has resulted in a serious degradation of safety barriers.

During this rating period there has been a rather active level of cernrunication between Region I staff, including the Resident Inspector, and NRR staff, usuelly the Project Marager, regarding specific event histories, features of the plant design and the status of licensing issues. The licensee has been very coopera-tive and effective in supporting these cor.raunications whether by corporate or plent staff, technical or management personnel attention. -

E. Staffing The bases for our assessnents on this topic are principally the Project Manager's observations during the rating period. No NRR licensing activitics concerning staffing were undertaken during the rating period.

There has been little turnover among senior plant management, shift superintendents or operators during the period. The licensee now has sufficient licensed personnel to fully staff all six shifts (3 operational,1 day-work,1 off duty, and 1 in training). The licensee is also now maintaining a level of 3 SR0's on shift around the clock. These levels are in excess of the requirements of the Technical Specifications. There was substantial hot operating BWR experience distributed among the operating staff prior to the startup testing program. On these bases the station appears to be well staffed with operating personnel.

The corporate staff level in Philadelphia has been ample to meet the needs of the licensing activities during this period. This has been demonstrated in meetings and discussions with the NRC staff wherein the staffing level has in virtually every instance been adequate to meet the objectives of the meeting.

F. rep 0RTING AND ANALYSIS OF REPORTABLE EVENTS PEPCo has held a full power operating license for the past 51/4 months of the 15 1/2 month report period. During these 15 1/2 months, the licensee reported 143 non-security events. A large number of events (58) occurred during the first 2 3/4 months of the low power license operation (October 26, 1984 to January 17, 1985). During that same period, one event was considered to be significant enough for the staff to review in detail: On November 29, 1984, Limerick experienced a power loss to the source range and intermediate range monitors. During the remaining 12 3/4 months of the period studied, the rate at which events were reported decreased significantly. The licensee's energetic corrective action program, which was addressing specific areas of performance, was successful in reducing by 2/3 the frequency of reportable events (mostly ESF actuations).

A total of 3 reactor trips during the full power license operation translates into a frequency of 6.8 trips / year, which is slightly higher than the average frequency of 5.9 trips / plant / year recently determined by AE0D, but a very low reactor trip average for a new plant.

Events at Limerick Unit 1 appear to have been reported promptly and accurately.

The frequency of reportable events during the full power operation period is average for a new pla'nt and none of the evennts was of any significance.

Based on these evaluations, and the licensee's successful efforts at reversing an adverse trend, the Operating Reactors Assessment Staff recommends a ratino of Category 2 for the licensee's performance in frequency, reporting and analysis of reportable events.

G. TRAINING AND QUALIFICATION EFFECTIVENESS The bases for our assessments on this topic are the Project Manager's contacts with the corporate licensing staff and the plant staff during the,ratina period.

There were no NRR review activities concerning licensee training and qualification programs during this rating period.

. .Nevertheless the Project Manager has found that the training.and Qualifications of the licensee's corporate staff have continued to be maintained at a high level. This is due in part to the relatively low turnover of key technical and managerial personnel, many of whom have been with the licensee throughout much of the Unit 1 operating licensing review.

The Pro.iect Manager has also found, throuah limited contacts with plant staff such as the Superintendent for Operations, the Reaulatory Engineer, several shif t Superintendents and the Administrative Assistant for Security, that the plant staff is highly qualified to perform its functions, and is virtually always well informed concerning the status of the plant's systems and components. In general, the plant staff reflects a high degree of professionalism and a sense of being "on top of" the issues which arise during plant operations.

It is also noted that virtually all currently licensed operators have received -

their simulator training on the Limerick simulator located nearby at the Limerick Training Center.

H. Housekeeping '

Housekeeping is an area that will be discussed elsewhere in the SALP report

_ (usually in the Fire Protection and Housekeeping section). However, NRR has a continuing interest in this area since good housekeeping practices indicate that the licensee and its employees take pride in the facilities and their jobs.

The Project Manager's observations and discussions with NRC Region I Resident 4 Inspectors indicate that the plant is maintained in an orderly and clean working environment. For example, the Unit I side of the plant reflects a general absenca 4

of standing pools of water, oil or debris beneath equipment, spare or miscellaneous materials stored about the plant or even excessive dust on components in pipe tunnels.

  • This area was not formally assigned a numerical rating due to the small number and scope of issues addressed during the rating period. However, if the trend experienced on those few issues had been maintained over a larger base of experience then this would probably have been rated a Category 1.
    • Plant was under construction / pre-operational status for almost all of this period. Based on comments by senior NRC representatives during site visits this would probably have been a category 2 with an improving trend had it been rated separately during that period.
