SUMMARY

Scope:

This special, announced inspection was conducted for the purpose of a

Safety System Quality Evaluation for the Containment Spray system and

included a review of the TVA Nuclear Performance Plan functional

,

correctivt action areas identified in the Sequoyah Unit 1 and Unit 2

l

restart program matrix.

The inspection consisted of an in plant

review in the mechanical, electrical, civil,

structural,

ano

instrumentation and control disciplines in order to verify that the

CS system as currently constructed and installed is in accordance

i

with the licensed design bases, system design specifications,

applicable drawings, system modifications and temporary alterations.

In addition, the operational capability of the CS system was

evaluated by reviewing the system operating

instructions and

procedures, surveillance and testing requirements, corrective and

preventive maintenance activities, human factors, emergency operating

instructions and operator training. The inspection team evaluated,

g

on a sampling basis, portions of the TVA Nuclear Performance Plan

functional corrective action areas.

Results:

Based on a review of the Containment Spray System there appears to be

adequate program implementation in the fo11 ewing areas to support

,

REPORT DETAILS

1.

Mechanical Inspection

The design aspectf of the inspection evaluated the system and components

against applicable standards, the references cited and listed in this

report, and the SYSTERS/ design basis reports for the Unit 1 CS system.

Inspectors performed a walkdown of portions of the Unit 1 CS system and

performed a comparison between the as-constructed drawings and the actual

installed system. The walkdown was conducted on system piping, valves,

and components inside containment, the annulus, and the auxiliary

building,

Additional information for the walkdown was drawn from

isometric details, design documents, and vendor data packages,

a.

Conformance of the Containment Spray System With the As-Constructed

Drawings

A walkdown of portions of the CS system was performed in the

auxiliary building, annulus, and containment comparing the installed

system with drawings 47W437, sheets 1-6, and 47W312, sheet 1.

The

following system attributes were considered during the walkdown and

drawing review:

Pipe sizing and class

Reducers

Flanges / fittings / spool pieces

Location of vents, drains, thermowells

!sometric routing

Unidentified / undocumented valves, pipes, instrumentation

Interfersnces

Support / restraint location

Valve flow directions

The inspectors identified no major discrepancies during the system

walkdown.

The discrepancies observed by the inspectors had

previously been identified by the licensee prior to the inspectian as

port of the OSLA 107 walkdown program, implemented as part of the

Itcensee's SSQE inspection preparation, and did not affert system

operability,

b.

Associated System Interfaces

A verification was performed of the following associated system

interfaces with the CS system, both on the drawings and on the

installed system:

RHR HX 1A & IB to CS (drawing 47W311. sheet 1)

ERCW to CS HX A & B (drawing 47WT*5)

The inspectors noted that several skid mounted valves supplying

i

component cooling water for cooling of the CS pump mechanical seal

and the oil bearing cooler were unlabeled and not on the flow

L

drawings.

TVA had previously comitted in their response to NRC

l

Inspection Report 327,328/87-52 to add skid mounted valves to the SI

l

and SOI checklists prior to Unit I startup.

These valves were

identified on SOI checklists 72.1A-1 and 72.1A-2 for CS Pumps IA and

}

18, respectively, with the valve numbers listed as N/A. During NRC

system alignment inspection 327,328/87-66, TVA had labeled all Unit 2

skid mounted valves with tags having descriptions matching those in

the SOI checklists. This was necessary to ensure that the operators

[

using the checklists would position the proper unnumbered skid valve.

Since this had not yet been accomplished for Unit 1, the inspectors

i

obtained a commitment from TVA to label all Unit 1 skid valves with

descriptive tags prior to establishing configuration control for

-

Unit 1 restart.

This comitment is being tracked under Violation

f

327,328/87-52-01 corrective action.

c.

$hield Building Penetrations

The inspector reviewed the following Unit I

shield building

mechanical penetration seals:

Penetration 1X-48 B at Elevation 729'

Fenetration 1X-49 8 at Elevation 729'

Penetration IX-48 8 is a 16 inch pipe sleeve which accommodates the

12 inch line to CS beader 1-B.

Penetration 1K-49 8 is a 12 inch pipe

sleeve which accoraodates the 8 inch line to RHR spray header 1-B.

The mechanical seal penetrations are shown schematically on TVA

drawing No.

to

provide

the

appropriate

qualification

documentation, and was able to provide the inspector with a

i

comparable document which ICMS prepared for the same penetration seal

j

naterials used at another plant.

To show that penetration seal asse-blies IX-48 8 and IX-49 8 are

qualified to the negatise (0.5 inch w a t,e r) annular pressure

differential and the transient tornadic differential prec ure drop of

l

3 psi specified on TVA drawing 47E235-31, TVA pre 'ded the team with

ICMS report No. HT-M05-34

Seals, dated May 22, 1486.

The ICMS report surrartres a 2-hour

j

hyd ro s t a t.i c test conducted for a 2-inch pipe /IO-inch sleeve to a

l

maximum hydrostatic pressure of 28 psi, to confirm the ability of the

k

'

mechanical penetration seal assemblies that are installed below

elevation 724 feet to withstand the design basis flood. This test

j

condition would envelope the design pressure environment for

penetrations IX-48 C and 1X-49 B.

The TVA technical staff have

indicated that penetration seal asserblies installed belew ficod

It was noted that TVA had not considered tht axial thrust induced in

the pipe due to the dif ferential hydrostatic pressure on the seal

{

which must be restrained by the pipe supports adjacent to the

I

penetration. For penetrations IX-45 B and IX-49 8 the loads would be

i

small, but for penetrations subjected to 18 PSI the loads are higher.

As an example, a penetration assembly which consists of an 8-inch

,

pipe and a 12-inch sleeve appears capable of generating a 4-5 K!P

}

thrust due to a hydrostatic pressure of 18 psi. During the course of

(

the review it was found for penetrations with significant dP across

'

them that TVA did not account for the additional axial load imparted

,

to the pipe by t.he Icaded area of the seal. This issue is designated

y

URI 327,328/88-29-06, (Example a). Adequate resolution for the above

URI will include Engineering Assurance review and approval of the

I

design documentation and requires resolution prior to the startup of

i

Sequoyah Unit 1.

l

YVA has indicated that Construction Technology Laboratories Report,

!

Fire and Hose-Stream Tests for Penetration Seal Systems (hMP2-PSS6),

!

dated March 1986 qualifies the penetration assembly to the 3-hour

.

fire barrier requirement imposed by 10 CFR 50, Appendix R.

j

In addition, the peneteation assembly boot material has been

f

proportioned to accomodate the radial and axial pipe movements due

j

to thermal and SSE movecents which are listed on sheet 95 of ECW

!

L73328.

l

I

The inspector's conclusion is that shield building penetrations

f

IV.-48 B and IX-49 8 meet the design bases.

Documentation was

initially not available within TVA to justify that the penetrations

!

were qualified to meet the radiation and temperature design bases.

Documentation was generated for the inspectors and appeared to be

adequate.

To assess TVA's implementation of thesa NUREG roquirements, the

inspector reviewed the design changes and surveillance criteria which

TVA prepared and implemented for tne CS system.

TVA letter L51 791031913 dated November 1, 1979, established the

initial guidelines which the TVA technical staff used to

alement

the NUREG requirements.

ECN No. 2586 installed welded nipples and threaded caps on a number

of drains, vents and test valves in the CS system and other systems.

TVA made these design changes by reviewing the as-designed flow

diagrams and identifying drains and vent lines which did not have a

secondary boundary.

For the CS system, the design changes prepared

under ECN 2386 were incorporated into the following as-designed TVA

drawings:

TVA drawing No. 47W812-1, Flow Diagram / Containment Spray System,

Rev. 9, dated September 18, 1979.

The following TVA mechanical CS system piping drawings:

47W437-1, Rev. 17, dated September 12, 1979

47W437-2, Rev. 14, dated September 12, 1979

47W437-5, Rev. 10, dated September 12, 1979

47W437-6, Rev. 11. dated September 12, 1979

Field Change Request SQ-FCR-001 was prepared on February 23, 1980 to

revise Rev. 9 of the fic v diagram when a subsequent review of the

drawing indicated that not all of the design changes had originally

been incorporated into the drawing.

The inspector confirmed that the comparable as-constructed flow

diagram and piping physicals indicated the addition of these nipples

and caps.

On April 2,

1980, TVA provided the NRC with the surveillance

procedures to be used to monitor system leakage (A27 800402 008).

,

Surveillance instruction procedure SI-632.0, Auxiliary Building

Combined Systems External Leakage, Rev. O, dated Jani'ary 17, 1980,

i

documents the combined extarnal leakage to the auxiliary building

which is monitored by the separate implementation of system-specific

surveillance procedures

such as SI-632.1, Auxiliary Building

Containment Spray System External Leakage, Rev. O, dated January 17,

1980.

.

TVA provided the NRC with the results of the leakage tests for the

Unit I systems monitored outside of containment. Supplement No. S to

the SER dated May 1981 indicates that the results of the tests which

TVA submitted to the NRC for Unit I were sati(factory.

The

inspectors concluded that TVA's actions to implement NUREG 0578

Section 2.1.6.a for the CS system were satisfactory.

.

e.

System Alignment

The inspectors reviewed S0I checklists 72.1A-1 and 72.1B-1 for

adequacy and conformance with the system drawing.

The inspectors

verified that the system was either aligned per the 50I checklists or

the valve position was documented in the configuration log. During

the walkdown the inspectors noted that valves 72-515, 522 and 524,

which are reach rod operated valves, had hold order tags attached

indicating that the valves were open when the remote position

indicators showed that the valves were shut. The inspectors verified

locally that the valves were actually open. Through discussiuns with

the licensee it was determin?d that the problem with the reach rod

indication had previously been identified by the licensee as part of

an ongoing effort to identify and correct problems with reach rod

operated valves throughout the plant. The licensee currently

requires operators to verify valve position locally on reach rod

operated valves as well as through remote indication,

f.

Component Marking and Accessibility

,

A verification was performed to ensure that the equipment

identification, tagging, and nomenclature used in the CS system was

consistent with drawings and procedures. TVA has a tagging / labeling

program in progress.

Components necessary for the operation of the

system were determined to be accessible and adequately identified.

,

Minor discrepancies noted by the inspectors had been previously

t

identified in th- TVA program,

g.

Material Traceability

The inspectors verified that the name plate data for both containment

spray heat exchangers, both CS pumps, both CS pump motors, and pump

suction relief valve 1-72-513 were in accordance with vendor data

packages and design docunients. Th? inspectors verified that the size

.

imprint on the recently modified orifice plate in the header piping

to the spray nozzles agreed with the size specified on ECN L7381A and

work plan 73S1-01.

The ECN and work plan resized the orifice and

replaced the orifice ta a full flow pipe size.

verification.

If testing of Train

"B"

is not to be

performed immediately following Train "A", shut down the

hot air compressor to avoid neating/ pressurizing the

piping.

Step 6.2.4 of SI-138 then states:

Open valve 72-546 and start hot-air compressor (if

necessary).

This will allow air flow through CSH "B".

Description:

Compressor, Air, 100*. Oil-free Air, @ 300

degree F. 1500 CFM @ 125 psig max., with

relief valve set @ 100 psi.

Lead Time:

5-7 weeks

Previous Requisition:

453185

CAUTION:

If compressor furnished does not have relief

,

capability, appropriate measures should be taken

to ensure relief capability is provided or steps

shall

be

taken

to

prevent

potential

overpressurization of piping by rearrangement of

procedure steps using temporary change forms per

AI-4.

I

The closure of Valve 72-545 in step 6.2.3 isolated the CS system

piping and applies full compressor air pressure to a section of

100 psi rated pipe. Therefore, until the opening of '2-546 in

,

step 6.2.4, the CS piping is relying on the ccmpe

ar relief

u

valve for protection.

If the compressor does not have relief

'

capability, the piping will overpressurize.

It is irprudent at

,

best to close 72-545 until 72-546 is open in either case.

'

Revision 7, the current revision to SI-138, requires the nozzles

to be inspected by use of an infrared camera to verify that each

of the 312 nozzles are open and pass air freely.

Results for

all unobstructed nozzles are documented by checking one blanh.

The procedures also states, "If desired, photos may be made for

future reference."

{

.

_

'

.

If one or more nozzles are nonfunctional, the number of nonfunc-

tional nozzles are recorded and a sketch is made of the location

of each. Verification is made by the Test Director and a second

party.

The technique used to conduct the surveillance requires the test

director to observe the nozzles for the lack of an infrared

signal.

Previous revisions of the procedure required each

nozzle to be identified and checked off that a positive infrared

signal exists.

Thus the previous revisions of SI-138 required the director to

look for a positive signal as opposed to the lack thereof. The

previous revisions also created more auditable records of the

inspections by requiring the test director to document that each

nozzle flowed freely.

TS Surveillance Requirement 4.6.2.1.1,

requires that each CS spray train shall be demonstrated OPERABLE

by verifying each spray nozzle is unobstructed.

The verifica-

tion for each spray nozzle should be documented.

Revision 7 of SI-138 has never been performed.

Therefora, all

previous tests have

included appropriate procedures and

documentation.

This SI should be revised to include more

appropriate documentation

prior to

its

next

required

performance.

During the review of 51-274.900, Engineered Safety Feature

Response-Time Verification, the inspector became aware of a

potential problem with the response timing of the Containment

Spray actuation system caused by inaccuracies in the Agastat

relay. The Agastat relay is a 0-300 second timing relay used in

the sequencing of EDG loads. The vendor stated accuracy of the

relay is plus or minus 5'a for a specific rep 9atability.

The

licensee stated that the actual accuracy over a test range was

about plus or minus 10'e.

Even though the relay is capable of

operatiag over an entire range, it is operated in the CS system

only at a specific point. Therefore, the inspector requested

the licensee to field verify the accuracy of the relay for its

specific application in the Containment Spray Systen.

In response to this request, on June 29, 1988, the licensee

performed a bench test of one of the Agastat relays for

installation in Unit 1.

The relay was calibrated for 180

seconds.

The relay was independently measured and its

repeatability determined to be accurate within 1?; which was

considered acceptable.

(2) The inspector reviewed the following Emergency Procedures for

the Conttinment Spray System:

.

.

10

E-0, Reactor Trip or Safety Injection

E-1, Loss of Reactor or Secondary Coolant

ES-1.2, Transfer to RHR Containment Spray

ES-1.2 required operators to verify the CS pump .uction to the

containment sump at an RWST. level of less than or equal to 8%

indicated level.

The procedure recommended that the operator

verify ECCS lineup prior to this swap, if time allowed.

The

safety analysis for containment pressure control assumes that

swapover occurs before ice melt, therefore the time dependance

of this swapover was questioned. The inspector determined that

in all cases the swapover should occur prior to complete ice

melt.

i

No violations or deviations were identified.

(3) The inspector questioned the adequacy of the testing of etives

72-547 and 72-548 in that they are not type "C"

leak rate tisted

l

per 10 CFR 50 Appendix J.

The adequacy of the containmsqt

isolation design with respect to GDC-56 was reviewed by .he

staff during the review of the nuclear performance plan inc is

documented in the May 1988 SER.

The inspector will revitw the

leak rate testing of these valves durir.g future resid!nt

inspection activities.

(4) A sample of the records for the tvilowing valves were examiced

to assure that inservice testing and MOV thermal overload

protection requirements were met.

These requirements are

contained in the FSAR (6.2 and 9.2), TS (4.8.3.2,

4.0.5,

3.6.2.1),

10 CFR 50 Appendix A (General Design Criteria -

,

Section V) and ASME Section XI (IWV).

Valves:

1-FCV-72-2, 13, 20, 21, 22, 23, 34A, 39, 40, 41

Check Valves:

1-72-506, 507, 547, 548, 555, and 556

In an SER issued in May 198S (NUREG 1232, Volume 2) the NRC

stated, "Since certain penetrations, including the containment

spray and RHR spray, are part of the systems required to operate

following an accident, it is imprudent to follow the explicit

requirements of GDC 56 red automatically isolate or lock closed

the isolation valves.

In those instances where post-accident

operation is required, remote manual valves are acceptable for

.

'

meeting the GDC as described by SRP section 6.2.4 and the ANSI

standard.

For the containment spray and RHR spray line

penetrations, TVA has identified additional outboard valves that

have remote manual closure capability as containment isolation

valves.

The designation of those valves as containment

isolation valves brings the isolation design

for these

penetrations into compliance with the staff guidelines for

meeting GDC 56 contained in the SRP."

The system is provided with a check valve inside containment

(1-FCV-72-547 and 1-FCV-72-548) and a "remote manual" isolation

valve outside containment (1-FCV-72-2 and 1-FCV-72-39) for each

spray header.

The licensee requested and was granted relief in April 1985

(SER) from exercising valves 72-547 and 72-548 (containment

spray header check valves) in accordance with the requirements

of ASME Section XI, contingent upon providing a method for

verifying full riow capability of the valves.

Testing these

valves with water would jeluge containment, causing potentially

significant damage and cleanup requirements to equipment and

structures. The licensee proposed testing these valves with air

during the spray header nozzle test required by TS 4.6.2.1 at

least once every five years.

The NRC position stated that this

method could not ensure fall stroking of the CVs.

As an

alternate to full flow testing, one of these four CVs will be

disassembled each refueling outage on a rotating basis.

If any

valve is found to be inoperable and the cause determined to be

potentially generic, the other valves must also be disassembled

and inspected before being declared operable.

The disassembly of these valves is performed under SI-166.39,

Disassembly and Inspection of SIRHR/CS/UHI Check Valves During

Refueling Outages, Unit 1.

The inspector reviewed documentation

on the last performance of this SI dated May 1,1986 and found

it to be acceptable.51-158.1, Containment Isolation Valve Leak Rate Test, verifies

that valves 1-FCV-72-2 and 1-FCV-72-39 have acceptable leakage

rates for containment isolation. The latest performance of this

SI dated September 9,

1985, was reviewed and found to be

acceptable.

The inspector reviewed the status of thermal overload protection

devices installed in the containment spray system MOV motor

starters. All thermal overload protection devices were removed

or bypassed with the exception of those in starters associated

with valves 1-FCV-72-20,21,22,23,40 and 41.

These devices are

tested in accordance with 51-251.1, Channel Calibration of

Class 1E Motor Operated Valve Overload Relay Heaters.

This SI

implements the requirements of SR 4.8.3.2.

The

inspector reviewed documentation of the most recent

performances of SI-251.1 on valves 1-FCV-72-20 and 1-FCV-72-21

and found these tests to be acceptable.

The inspector also randomly selected valves and verified that

they were included in the Section XI program and currently

tested per that program.

(5) The following design basis required functions were reviewed to

determine if surveillance or other functional testing adequately

documents the ability of the CS system to meet the design

function.

The operability of the CS pump protective circuit was evaluated.

This circuit protects the pump by allowing pump discharge to be

circulated back to the pump intake if flow in the discharge line

drops below that required for pump protection (1650 gal / min) as

measured by flow elements FE-72-34 or 13, or if 'spon starting

flow is not achieved in the spray header within a preset time

interval (10 seconds). It was determined that construction and

calibration criteria were established. This system capability

was tested in TVA-21B and again in WP 12358 following

modifications.

A review for the existence of an interlock between FCV-72-23 and

22 for CS train "A" and FCV-72-20 and 21 for CS train

"B"

was

performed.

The function of this interlock is to prevent the CS

pump from taking suction from the RWST and the containment sump

at the same time.

This item is discussed further in

Section 1.(j) of this report.

Automatic activation of the CS system is based on activation of

two out of four of the containment hi/hi pressure switches. The

inspectors requested to observe a surveillance which would

demonstrate this system function.

Due to tne CS system being

drained for maintenance, these sis were not performed during the

inspection period.

It will be necessary for two testing func-

tions to be observed prior to the startup of Unit 1:

Pump flow characteristics including a multiple point test

as well as the performance of the current revision of

SI 37.1.

ESF pump / valve logic performance as demonstrated in SI-68.

i.

ASME Code Section XI Testing

The inspector evaluated the implementation of the Section XI testing

program for the IA-A CS pump for consistency with TS requiremenus and

design requirements.

The current TS SR 4.6.2.1.1.b requires that the licensee verify that,

"each containment spray train shall be demonstrated OPERABLE by

verifying, that on recirculation flow, each pump develops a discharge

pressure of greater than or equal to 140 psig when tested pursuant to

TS 4.0.5."

_

'

.

.

13

Baseline flowrate data for the Unit 1 containment spray pumps will be

established during future performances of S1-37.1 and SI-37.2. These

have not been established in the past because it is not a regulatory

requirement and measurement of pump flowrate is not required by the

1974 edition through the summer of 1975 addenda to the ASME Boller &

Pressure Vessel Code Section hI (Code of record for Sequoyah).

Previous tests of the pumps met the allowable ranges of inservice

test quantities identified in Section XI and during baseline tests.

These tests also verified the letter of the TS, However, these tests

never verified that 4750 gpm would be supplied to the spray no:zles

during an accident as assumed in the design basis calculations. This

flowrate is required for the system to meet its design basis.

The licensee has submitted a TS change request to require that the

pumps be tested to deliver 4750 gpm at a dP of 143 psid.

Following the performance of the current revision of SI-37.1 the

pisnt will be ready for resta. t with respect to Section XI and

surveillance testing for the 1A-A CS pump.

10 CFR 50.55a(g) requires inservice testing of pumps and valves in

accordance with ASME Section XI to verify Goerational Readiness.

ASME Section XI, IWV-2100 defines relief valves as category C valves

and ASME Section XI, IWV-3511 requires category C valves to be tested

on at least a five year interval in accordance with Table IWV-3510.1.

Contrary to the above, the licensee failed to include ASME Section XI

requirements for testing of the containment spray system suction

relief valves (72-512 and 72-513) in the instructions for inservice

testing which are provided in Section 6.8 of the SeQv-"ah Final

Safety Analysis Report.

These valves were however,

t.

ed in other

surveillances and were maintained operable.

This is violation

327,328/88-29-04 example 2.

Functional Design Parameters

The following sample cf functional design parameters was reviewed

during the inspection.

(1) The design parameters of the CS piping are shown on drawing

47W312-1, Rev. 16 (Reference 1,

report section

1.L).

Tne

inspector reviewed the calculations which determine these design

parameters for the piping. These calculations are References 2,

3, 4 and 5.

Reference ^ *as prepared on May 27, 1988. References 3, 4 and 5

were prer red in June 1988.

.

.

14

The inspector reviewed these references.

The review revealed

that several pressure and temperature (design conditions)

boundaries as shown in Reference 1 were incorrect.

The results

of the review are as fellows:

The calculation of Reference 2 was rerformed as part of ECN

L6673, dated June 17, 1986.

It changes the design

conditions of the lines from the flow restrictor downstream

of RWST to valves FCV-72-21 and FCV 72-22 to 40 psi and 150

Degrees F.

Reference 1 depicts the old conditions which

were 100 psi and 100 Degrees F.

The parameters 42 psi and

150* degree F were added to the design conditions in design

condition No. 5 of Reference 2.

Reference

3,

addresses the pump suction, discharge,

miniflow and test lines.

This calculation, completed

during the inspection, identified that the design condition

boundaries shown at valves 72-503 and 72-504 are incorrect

because the pressure just downstream of these valves could

be 170 psig, which is higher than the current 100 psig

rating.

The design condition boundary will be moved to

valve 72-502.

Reference 4, addresses the containment spray ring headers

and lines downstream of the isolation valves FCV-72-2 and

FCV-72-39.

This calculation identified that the design

condition boundary should be moved from the outlet of these

valves to the iniet side of the containment penetration

since the pressure at the outlets of these valves could be

127 psig, higher than the current 100 psig rating.

Reference 5, addresses the RHR spray ring headers and lines

downstream of isolation valves FCV-72-40 and FCV-72-41.

This header and piping are considered part of the

Containment Spray system. The calculation identified that

'

I

the design condition boundary should be moved from the

inlet side of these valves to the inlet side of the

penetration since the pressure at the penetration will not

i

i

exceed

100 psi.

By

implementing

the change,

the

penetration will be at design conditions which are in

agreement with its nameplate rating (100 psig).

CAQR SQP 880387, Revision 0, was written on June 24, 1933,

to address the discrepancy between Ref. 1 (Fig. 6.2.2-2 of

the Sequoyah FSAR which currently shows R12) and the

nameplate rating of the pressure of the fluted heads for

containment p:netrations X49A and X49B.

The 100 psi

nameplate rating was found as a result of a system walkdown

performed by TVA on December 13, 1987.

The results of

Reference 5 indicate that the 220 psi rating is not

required as the design pressure of the steel containment

_ _ - _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

'

.

15

penetration and that the maximum sustained operating

pressure per ANSI B31.1 is below 100 psi.

Therefore, this is considered a documentation problem and

not a component deficiency.

This CAQR is applicable to

both Units 1 and

2.

Due to the above mentioned

discrepancies,

the following corrective actions were

recommended in the CAQR:

Perform calculations to support desion parameters on

drawings 47WS12-1, R16 (Reference 1).

Resolve any discrepancies identified between values

listed on drawings and results of the calculation.

Reevaluate adequacy of components, revise drawings,

determine impact on pipe analysis,

and verify

hydrotest records as necessary if design parameters on

the flow diagram cannot be supported by calculations.

Determine if other design calculations for pressure

and temperature are missing on other systems in order

to establish and resolve the full extent of problem.

An ECN/DCN will be prepared by TVA to update the design

documentation to reflect the changes addressed above and will be

completed prior to Unit I restart.

The failure to have pressure and temperature calculatier.s to

define pressures and temperatures at various points ia the

Containment Spray System is considered to be a violation of

10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion III, Design Control, and is

identified

as

violation

327,328/88-29-01,

Design

Basis

Calculations.

The missing pressure and temperature calculations were re -

generated during the inspection. As a result of the new calru-

lations, several components and associated oiping are in a

higner pressure rating.

TVA is currently assessing the ef fect

of these changes. As of June 27, 1938, no hardware had been

identified as affected by the resulting shift in tho location of

pressure

boundaries.

This

issue is designated as URI

327,328/88-29-06 Example b. , and requires resolution prior to

the startup of Sequoyah Unit 1.

Adequate resolution for the

above URI shall inclede an Engineering Assurance review of the

design basis information related to this issue.

As part of assessing whether

celeration (water hammer) in tne CS system has been considered

by TVA in terms of its resulting dynamic loading of the system,

the inspector reviewed a study entitled, Evaluation of Fluid

,

16

Dynamic loads on the Containment Spray System, dated May 26,

1987.

This study is incorporated as Appendix A to problem

Number 0600104-01-02 Containment Spray System, Units 1 and 2,

Sequoyah Nuclear Plant. The lack of existence in 1987 of such a

calculation and its subsequent generation by TVA was addressed

in Inspection Report 50-327, 328/87-28.

The following are the results of this calculation review:

(a) The methodology used in the calculation is simplistic with

potentially inaccurate results.

(b) The derivation of maximum force and rise time formula on

page 7 of Appendix A is not given; however, based on

similar studies, it appears that the magnitude of the force

is reasonable.

(c) The derivation of the maximum load on the ring header is

not given.

It is stated that the maximum load occurs at

the time that one-half the header is filled. The inspector

considers that both the magnitude and time of occurrence

are incorrect. Similar studies have shown that the maximum

load on the header could be one order of magnitude higher

than the one calculated in Appendix A.

Moreover, the time

<

of each occurrence is the time at which the two water slugs

which fill the tne header in a symmetric fashion from the

two opposite ends meet each other. A comparison of the

support loads due to water hammer versus other loads is

given in Appandix A.

Although accurately calculated water

!

l.ommer loads may still be substantially smaller than other

loads on the syster, there may be support locations where

such loads are not negligible. Appendix A, indicates that

the CS System is scheduled for reanalysis following Unit 2

restart.

The inspectors consider that a more accurate

<

I

methodology for calculating water hammer loads should be

used.

This issue is designated URI 327,328/88-29-06

Example c and requires resolution prior to the startup of

Seqtoyah Unit 1.

Adequate resolution for the above URI

shall include an Engineering Assurance review of the design

basis informatien related to this issue.

(2) A review of sample piping runs was performed. Two pips stress

analysis problems, 0600104-01-02 and N2-72-1A & 2A, were

selected for review using the piping detailed on physical

drawings 47W812, Sheet 1 and 47W437 Sheets 1-6.

Also included

in the review were all outstanding deficiencies previously

'

identified by TVA.

These analysis problems were reviewed

considering the walkdown attributes listed in Section 1.a in

addition to the design and stress analysis items listad below

which were verified.

_______

'

.

17

The stress isometric of record agreed with the current

piping physical drawings.

All pipe supports were identified on the stress isometric

e

including type and direction.

Equipment nozzle loadings were properly considered.

Results of the latr.st system walkdown were considered and

properly accounted for in the analysis.

All anchor and restraint point displacements due to thermal

and seismic effects were properly considered.

Design input parameters such as temperature, pressure, pipe

material and size, seismic anchor movements and response

spectra were properly considered.

Proper modeling considerations such as valve motor

operator, system interconnection and o,erlap, elbow and tee

type, flanges, concentrated masses, e'.c., were made.

All pertinent loading conditions were considered, including

thermal deadweight, seismic, fluid dynamic, and steel

containment vessel thermal displacement.

Pipe stresses were within the specified allowables for all

conditions analyzed.

Containment spray pipe stress problems N2-72-1A & -2A, Rev. 5,

i

dated May 18, 1988, contained the analysis for pipit.g routed

from the containment spray pumps IA-A and 18-8 discharge nozzles

to the containment spray htat exchangers 18 and 1A intake

nozzles.

The system was divided into two problems N2-72-1A and

N2-72-2A as shown on isometric 47K437-50. Problems N2-72-1A and

l

N2-72-2A are not connected and do not overlap with any other

piping system.

I

During the review of the above problems the following items were

discovered.

Page "a"

of the sumary of piping analysis

N2-72-1A, 2A indicates that Rev. 5 voided page 12B; however, the

page was not indicated as voidea.

TVA confirmed that page 128

belongs in the analysis of record package and will modify page

"a"

of the analysis accordingly.

Another area which requires

attention is that the piping analysis isometric of record for

Unit 1 identifies pipe supracts using Unit 2 support identifiers

resulting in confusion whv

trying to review piping analyses.

TVA currently has a prograi which should, in the near future,

update the piping isometrics to reflect both the Unit 1 support

.

identifiers and also include the current as-built system

geometry and support locations.

These issues were identified as deficiencies and provided for

licensee information.

.

On page A.18 of the calculation a value of 141/2 inches was

measured in the field as the distance from the pipe center line

to the weld location for a 12 inch long radius elbow.

Since

this elbow standard dimension should be 18 inches, either the

field measurement was incorrect or the elbow was modified. TVA

should review this discrepancy and take appropriate action.

T h', s issue is designated URI 327,328/88-29-06 Example d.,

and

requires resolution prior to the startup of Sequoyah Unit 1.

Adequate resolut. ion for the above URI shall

include an

Engineering Assurance review of the design basis information

related to this issue.

,

Ouring the review of the pipe stress analysis walkdown

evaluation shown on page A.17 of the calculation an apparent

anomaly in the reported as-built piping lengths was discovered.

The walkdown results reported a total deviation of 5 feet, 5 and

1/4 inches between the as-analyzed and as-built dimensions of a

length of pipe run from node point 211 to the control point of

the elbow at point 215 as shown on drawing 47K437-50, R4.

A

field verification of this length performed by the NRC

determined that no deviation exists.

TVA has used these

erroneous lengths in calculations to justify the adequacy of the

as-built piping system and supports.

TVA should review the

,

walkdorin data for this system and modify the calculations as

required.

This issue was identified as a deficiency and

provided for licensee information.

During the review of the above problem the following items were

identified which require further TVA action.

On page B.26 of

seismic restraint located at Node 120.

The loading on the

restraint at Node 120 would increase due to the new location of

the adjacent X-direction restraint (C5H-31) located at Node 66.

TVA should determine the load increase and evaluate its effect

on the seismic restraint located at Node 120. Also, the effects

of moving the support at Node 66 on the loading of the

Containment Spray Heat Exchanger 1B has not been considered by

TVA.

Adequate

resolution for the above URI shall include an Engineering

Assurance review of the design basis information related to this

issue.

In summary, from the design standpoint all items and attributes

listed above, with the exceptions discussed, were determined to

have been adequately addressed by TVA.

The analysis of record

for these piping problems based upon the attributes reviewed are

considered adequate and meet FSAR and design commitments.

(3) The team reviewed Containment Spray Pumps 1A-A and 18-B to

assess the design and procurement of these pumps with respect to

FSAR commitments and design criteria.

The CS pumps are shown on the following as-designed TVA

drawings:

47W812-1, Flow Diagram / Containment Spray System, Rev. 17,

dated June 14, 1988.

47V437-1, Mechanical / Containment Spray System Piping,

Rev. 24, dated May 3, 1938.

FSAR Section 6.2.2.2 specifies that each oump is rated for 4750

gpm flow at a design head of 370 feet.

FSAR Table 6.2.2-1

specifies additional pump design parameters.

FSAR Section

6.2.2.2 also details the functional requirements for the 700 HP

pump motors.

The functional requirements for the pump and pump motor are

reiterated in Design Criteria No. SQN-DC-V-27.5, Containment

Spray System, Rev. 2, dated July 22, 1937.

The design parameters of the CS System punps are provided in

Reference 6.

The calculation considers only / low from the RWST.

Only one pump is assumed operational.

The calculation shows

that each of the pumps, IA-A and IB-B, must develop a head of

328.29' or 142.1 psi at its rated flow. This is lower than the

manufacturer value of about 160 psi. A similar calculation for

Unit 2 resulted in a required head of 328.88' (Reference 7).

TVA could not provide a similar calcul

ion for the required

head when the pump takes suction from

he sump during the

recirculation mode for Unit 1.

Since the RWST is at a higher

elevation from the sump and the piping geometry on the suction

side is different for the two cases (RWST vs. Pump) it could be

expected that during recalculation the required head might be

.

20

higher.

On the other hand, since the containment pressure

exerted on the sump assists the pump during recirculation it is

likely that the required pump head during recirculation will be

smaller. Without a calculation it is not apparent which case

might control.

Consequently, the team considers .that a

calculation should be performed by TVA to document the head

required under recirculation mode for Unit 1.

A Technical Specification change has been submitted to the NRC

that will replace the requirement that "on recirculation flow,

each pump develops a discharge pressure of greater than or equal

to 140 psig" to the requirement that "on recirculatio1 flow,

each pump develops a differential pressure of greater than or

equal to 143 psid at greater than or equal to 4750 gpm".

Moreover, Surveillance Instructions SI-37.3 and SI-37.4 for

Unit 2 have been revised to reflect the 143 psid (Reference 12).

Surveillance Instructions SI-37.1 and 51-37.2 for Unit I have

not as yet been revised to reflect 143 psid, although it is

stated in the revision log that the revised differential

pressure was incorporated (Reference 13).

It appears that little or no margins have been incorporated in

the calculations nor have the requirements of ASME Code

Section XI been fully considered by the calculations used to set

the required pressure differential across the pump.

These

issues are designated URI 327,326/85-29-06 Example t.,

and

requires resolution prict to the startup of Sequoyan Unit 1.

Adequate corrective action for the above URI shall include an

Engineering Assurance review of the design basis information

related to this issue.

In both References 6 and 7 the recommendation is made that a

Mmorehensive pre-operational test be performed to establish a

set of performance points for the pumps.

The origin of this

request stems from the test deficiencies experienced in the

original pre-op program conducted in 1930.

This subject was addressed previously by the NRC through URI

327,328/87-50-03.

Specifically, CAQR SQP 870860 was issuec by

the licensee to document the fact that the preoperational test

for the CS pumps was not satisfied, in that, the head may not be

adequate to provide the required system flow.

The CAQR stated

that

preliminary analysis

indicated

that

although

the

preoperational test for pump performance was not satisfied, the

impact on containment integrity was minimal .

Initially, the

reportability of this CAQR and supporting potential reportable

occurrence (PRO) report was determined to be "indeterminate."

The CAQR was later determined, after approximately two months of

engineering evaluation, to be reportable.

The

inspector

cetermined that the licensee has scheduled the technical issue

I

O

21

,

for resolution prior to plant restart.

liowever, the use of

the term "indeterminate" for situations where the licensee knows

'

that a value used in TS and FSAR accident analysis can not be

satisfied by installed equipment is questioned. This issue was

discussed with the licensee in a management meeting conducted on

September 24, 1987.

As part of the resolution of the above CAQR, the licensee

performed special test instruction (STI) STI-65, Containment

Spray Pump Performance for Unit 2.

The intent of the test was

to reestablish a pump performance curve and verify that pump

performance is adequate to provide the needed system flow.

Additionally, this test was to measure actual heat exchanger

differential pressure (dp) and compares it to the value of

10 psid used to size the pump. Due to problems with installed

flow instruments (ANNUBAR), the licensee has had to resort to

the use of ultrasonic flow instruments during testing. The test

results of STI-65 indicated that the 2B pump satisfied the

manufacturers pump prformance curve.

However, the 2A pump

failed to provide the req #ed flow during testing.

It was

later determined that the ultrasonic flow instrument used during

testing of the 2A pump failed it's post use calibration. A

second test was performed using another ultrasonic flow

instrument and again the pump flow curve failed to satisfy the

pump head curve; however, on the second test the pump did

deliver the required 4750 gpm minimum flow. A CAQR was issued

to document the pump failure.

At the time of the SSQE inspection, it was TVA's intention to

perform the recommended testing on the pumps using a single

point test at the 4750 gpm flow rate.

The team considers that

because pump performance appears to be marginally edequate and

that the resciution of this identical issue for Unit 2 included

a three point pump curve flow test, that a three point pump

curve flow tost should be performed for the Unit 1 pumps also.

A licensee commitment was obtained to accomplish this.

This

ssue is designated as URI 327,328/35-29-06 Example

f.,

and

requires resolution prior to the startup of Sequoyah Unit 1.

Adequate resolution for the above URI shall include an

Engineering Assurance review of the design basis information

related to this issue.

The following additional CS Pump functional design parameters

were reviewed:

l

Accuracy of the calculation EPM-DAB-040498 which determines

the required CSS pump head for 4750 gpn.

The inspector requested that TVA perform a co?parison

between the piping lengtns appearing in the subject

calculation and the as-ouilt crawings.

The inspector

considered that due to the importance of the subject

calculation and the lack of margin in the use of the

generated pump head, such a comparison was crucial.

The

inspectors rmrformed a limited review of TVA's comparison.

The results indicated that the subject calculation was

acceptable.

Consistency of the geometrical configuration and flow loss

coefficient between calculations EPM-DAB-040488 Pumphead

and SQN-SQS4-0107, Pump NPSH.

In order to review the consistency of the input information

used in essential calculations by various preparers, the

.

inspectnr requested that TVA perform a comparison between

the geometrical configuration and flow loss coefficients.

Pipe lengths, fittings, components and the corresponding

l

losses were compared. A limited review of TVA's comparison

indicated that overall, more conservative numbers were used

l

for the calculation of the required NPSH in calculation

j

SQN-SQS4-0107. Since the available NPSH is higher than the

I

required NPSH, the choice of conservative numbers is

l

acceptable.

Clogging of Spray hozzles.

The head loss through the spray nozzles is a significant

contributor to the total system loss.

Moreover the spray

nozzles should be kept clean so that they can pass the

required flow.

Due to the above considerations, the

inspector reviewed TVA's practices in ensuring that these

nozzles remain clean.

Technical

Specification

Surveillance

Requirement

4.6.2.1.1.d (and 4.6.2.1.2) require that the CS System (and

RHR System) spray train shall be demonstrated operable at

least once per five years by performing an air or smoke

flow test through each spray header and verifying each

spray nozzle is unobstructed. This is accomplished through

the Surveillance Instruction SI-138, Rev

6, which was

found to be acceptable in section 1.h of this report.

Opening tines of Valves FCV-72-2 and FCV-72-39.

The inspector reviewad the data sheets on the stroke time

of these valves. The data indicated that both valves open

fully in about 15 seconds.

The maximum allowable stroke

time is about 20 seconds.

ConsidGring that the CSS pumps

reach full speed in about five seconds and that both valves

and pumps receive the signal simultaneously, the valve

opening times are acceptable.

Effect of the Opening of the Miniflow Line on CS System

Pump Ability to Deliver the Required Flow of 4753 gpm.

The Annubars used to measure the flow in the CS System are

i

~

susceptible

to

clogging,

particularly

during

the

recirculation mode.

Such clogging could result in a low

flow indication which in turn could result in opening

minimum flow valve FCV-72-13. The orifice in this miniflow

l!ne is sized to pass 250 gpm under deadhead conditions

(201.82 psid).

The inspector questioned whether the CS

System pump can deliver the required flow of 4750 gpm to

the spray header while simultaneously feeding the miniflow

line 250 gpm. The total flow through the pump will be 5000

gpm.

TVA performed a calculation which indicate, that,

under these conditions, the pump can deliver up to 5250

gpm.

The inspector performed a limited review of this

calculation and has found it to be correct. Therefore, the

opening of the miriflow valve will still allow the required

flow to the spraw header.

(4) A review was performed for the CS pumps relative to net positive

suction head (NPSH).

The available NPSH fer the CS pumps is

calculated based on the assumptions that the sump fluid is

subcooled (190 degrees F) and that NPSH available is equal to

the containment pressure prior to LOCA plus the pump static head

minus the vapor pressure head and the line loss. Therefore, the

applied methodology meets the intentions

of

Regulateey

Guide 1.1.

l

The NPSH calculations for the CS pumps are provided in

References 8 and 9 (section ik). These calculations are common

to both units.

Reference 8 compares the net positive suction

head available (NPSHA) to the net positive suction head required

4

(NPSHR) during the RWST injection mode. An adequate margin is

computed.

This calculation used the rated flow rates for the

pumps.

The maximum flow rates should have been used instead.

A similar comparison of NPSHA and NPSH is made in Reference 9

for a large LOCA. Maximum flow rates are us+d.

An adequate

margin is computed.

Discrepancies Between Design Calculations and Construction

"as-built" anchorages were not consistent and in agreement with

component qualification. The CAQR addressed equipment installed

in Units 1 and 2.

To address the CAQR, TVA, in part, prepared the following

exchanger,s and the associated supports and anchorages, as well

.

27

TVA asked Impell to compare the applicability of the Unit 2 heat

exchanger calculations to the Unit I heat exchangers.

i

Impell's letter to TVA dated June 16, 1988, indicates, in part,-

I

that CS Heat Exchanger 1A requires separate qualification due to

significant differences in the supporting structures and nozzle

loads, and that CS Heat Exchanger 1B requires additional

evaluation due to differences in the nozzle loads and as-built

conditions.

TVA is currently considering Impell's proposal to implement the

scope of work outlined in the letter.

The team therefore notes that TVA's actions to re qualify the

components installed in Unit I with respect to the generic

deficiencies which the NRC identified during the 101 inspection

conducted on Unit 2 during the latter part of 1987 are

incomplete at this time.

This issue is designated URI

327,328/88-29-06 Example

h.,

and requires resolution prior to

the startup of Sequoyah Unit 1.

Adequate resolution for the

above URI shall include an Engineering Assurance review of the

design basis information related to this issue.

The maximum operating pressure of the CS system heat exchangers

is calculated in Reference 31 (section 1.1) as 155 psig. This

is below the 220 psi rating of the system.

A study of required ERCW flow rate (shell side) to remove the

heat from the CS system under various ERCW inlet temperatures

and varicus heat exchanger tube plugging is given in Reference

32.

The results from the reference are used to adjust the ERCW

flow rates when Surveillance Instruction SI-566 is implemented

(Reference 33).

A maximum of 10% tube plugging is used in

SI-566.

CAQR SQP 870105, Rev.1 (reference 34), revises FSAR Table

6.2.1-1 sheets 9 through 12. According to TVA, the revised data

agree with HX calculations and the Westinghouse /HX vendor data.

Some inconsistencies between the HX parameters in the current

FSAR and the HX parameters in the Design Criteria of the CS

exist.

The pressure drop across the HX tubes is measured via SI-37.1

and SI-37.2, Containment Spray Pump Tests. During these tests,

conducted as part of the Unit 2 restart test program, a pressure

differential of about 5 psid was developed for the required flow

rate of 4750 gpm.

following the Loss of Down Stream Dam, Reference 35 concludes

that an ERCW supply temperature as high a s 83.2'F will

adequately remove the required heat load. The team performed a

limited review of this calculation as -it relates to CSS.

An

unverified assumption is used which relates to data received

from Westinghouse.

Some discrepancies were identified between

the unverified assumption and heat removal rates used in

previous calculations.

Inspectors did not perform a review of

the justification of the clarification on the differences by

TVA.

Due to the importance of the CS System HXs, TVA should review in

more detail the HX calculations and their conformance to

component specification 1152, the FSAR, and the CSS design

criteria.

This issue is designated URI 327,328/88-29-06

Example i., and requires resolution prior to the startup of

Sequoyah Unit 1.

Adequate resolution for the above URI shall

include an Engineering Assurance review of the design basis

information related to this issue.

(6) An evaluation was conducted to determine if a hazard analysis

had been performed for the CS system.

Four issues were addrussed by the inspectors.

Effect of a High Energy Line Break on C5 System

Operability.

The inspector evaluated the effect of high eneroy line

breaks (HELB) inside and outside containment on the CS

system.

Two concerns were addressed:

Pipe whip and

flooding

from

such

HELB which

could

potentially

incapacitate the CS system.

Regarding pipe whip for a HELB inside containment, drawings

47W200-12, R5, and 47W200-13, RS, "Equipment, Reactor

Building" and drawing 47W2500-1 through 12, R3, "Composite

Piping" show that the top of the steam generator cavity,

the refueling floor and the control rod drive missile

shield provide a 1hysical separation between any piping in

the lower containment and the CS system piping and

components.

Therefore,

such er

interaction

is not

credible.

A HELB outside containment will not require the ectuation

of the CSS.

Moreover,

a

simultaneous HELB inside

containment is beyond the DBA and need not be analyzed.

Regarding flooding, there is no CSS equip;nent inside

containment that could be affected by a HELB inside

containment. Additionally, for a HELB outside contair.mee.,

the CSS 11 not required to operate.

'

'

Verification of the Secondary Design Basis of the CS

System.

The FSAR on page 6.2-S7, states, "Tne secondary design

basis for the Containment Heat Removal Spray Systems is the

suppression of steam partial pressure in the upper volume

due to operating deck leakage from a small break before a

full loss-of-coolant accident. The requirement is that the

Containment Spray Systems be able to absorb the steam

leakage through the operating deck at the maximum possible

long-term deck differential pressure of one ocund per

square foot equivalent to the ice :endenser door opening

....". The team requested the analysis which verifies that

the containment spray will guench the leaking steam. TVA's

response was provided in writing to the inspector on

June 30, 1988. According to this response, the secondary

design basis has been deleted from the CS design criteria

SQN-0C-27.5, with Westinghouse's concurrence.

The secondary design basis addresses the protection of the

containment from a double accident that is a small break,

which initiates the CS system, followed by a large break.

In the TVA response, the argument is made that this

scenario goes bayond current NRC requirements. Moreover,

the Technical Specifications' action statements would be

entered and safety injection would be actuated before the

containment sprays would be activated.

The inspector found

this logic acceptable.

According to TVA, the secondary design basis will be

omitted from the FSAR in the next yearly update, scheduled

for April 15, 1939, to make it consistent with the design

criteria.

Effect of CS System Pump Startup Delay, Que to Diesel

loading Sequence, on the Accident Analysis.

The delay time in the FSAR analysis assumed for loading the

spray pumps on the diesels is 30 seconds.

This time has

been changed to 180 seconds to account for random loads

that might occur during the safeguards loadings sequerce.

To assess the impact of this enange, the containment

pressure (due to LOCA) and temperature (due to mainsteam

line break) analyses currently presented in the FSAR have

been reviewed by TVA.

As a result of this review, TVA

concluded through a qualitative evaluation that the delay

has no impact on either analyses.

Westinghouse has concurred with TVA's conclusion. Tne team

has reviewed both TVA's evaluation and the concurrenca

letter form Westingrouse and foor:: trem both acceptaf e.

Modeling of the Delay Time for Change Over from Injection

'

to Recirculation.

In changing over from injection to recirculation, the CSS

pumps are shut off.

The delay time for changeover from

injectier, to recirculation is given in Table 6.3.2-5 of the

FSAR as the summation of actions 13 through 18. This time

is equal to 110 seconds.

Westinghouse LOCA analysis

assumed 310 . seconds.

The inspector determined that this

modeling assumption was conservative.

(7) An evaluation was performed to ascertain that senti!ation having

airborne radioactivity originating in une pump compartment will

l

not be transmitted to the other pump compartment or to otner

l

vital areas within the auxiliary building.

The design features of the ventilation system which would

prevent the transport of radioactivity from one pump room to the

other were reviewed.

Review of drawings 47WS66-1, -2 and -10

(

"Flow Diagram, l! eating and Ventilating / Air Flow", indicated the

j

following:

Backdraft damoers prevent backflow in the ducts. Each room

'

is equipped with one such camper.

These rooms are normally exhausted by general ventilation.

In case of radiation release, the auxiliary building gas

treatment system is used.

These design features appear to be acceptable.

J.

Preoperationa) Functional Testing

(1) An inspection was performed to verify that the following

preoperational functional testing was performed and to determine

whether or not the testing was adequate.

Test TVA-218, Containment Spray System.

Pumps were operated at reduced flow through the minimlm

flow recirculation lines and essentially heated flow

.hrough the test line to the RWST. Pump performance values

were derived.

Valve

interlocks

in pump suction lines between the

containment sump and RWST were verified to be operable in

accordance with SCN-47W610-72-1. Mechanical Logic Diagram.

The capability of manual oceration from the control rocm

and the auxiliary control room was verified.

Test W-6.1A1 - Integrated Flow Testing of the Safety Injection

(SI) System

This test demonstrated acequate net positive suction head

(NPSH) during integrated operation of the CS and SI systems

during the recirculation mode.

.

The inspector reviewed Preoperational Test TVA-218, Containment Spray

System, and verified that the preoperational test operated the pumps

at reduced flow through the minimum flow recirculation line and at

essentially rated flow through the test line to the Refueling Water

Storage Tank, and that pump performance values were generated. The

inspector verified that the preoperational

test

tested

the

-

Containment Spray valve interlockt on the punp suction lines and the

RHR Containment Spray injection valves. The inspector also verified

that the preoperational test verified that the motor operated valves

could be operated f rom the local, remote and auxiliary control

stations.

The inspector also reviewed Preoperational Test W-6.1A1 -

Integrated Flow Testing of the Safety Injection System, as it

pertained to the Containment Spray System.

The inspector noted the

following:

,

TVA-21B did not adequately verify the valve interlocks on the

RHR

containment

spray discharge valves

1-FCV-72-40 anc

1-FCV-72-41.

The inspector determined that this condition had

been identified by the licensee as part of the restart test

program.

The inspector, however, determined that the valve

interlock had been tested and verified as part of the ASME

Section XI Program.

Step 5.6.14 of TVA-21B required that inboard and outboard

bearing temperatures and the motor temperature be recorded at 10

minute intervals until the bearing temperature stabilizes.

The

step contains a note that a stable temperature exists when three

successive readings do not vary more than 3%.

Review of the

bearing temperature data rccorded in the pre-operational test

determined that the bearing temperctures did not meet the 35

criteria as required.

Section XI testing requires that pump

bearing temperature be monitored anc that three successive

readings be within 3%.

The inspector determined that the pump

bearing temperatures recorded in the ore-operational test were

.

not excessive and that TVA his received exemption from tne

[

requirement for monitoring pump bearing temperatures on the

,

containment

spray pu-ps based on

inaccurate

temperature

'

measurements of the bearings and the fact that the other test

parameters provide suf ficient information about pump condition.

The inspector believes this deficiency does not present a pump

operability issue and that the licensee'sSection XI testing

provides sufficient information about pu p cordition.

Electrical Inspection

Design document and in plant field observation were integrated in order to

evaluate the CS system and ccmponents for proper design and design

implementation.

As discussed in each of the following Nctions, the

inspectors evaluated the system and components against the applicable

standards listed at the end of this report and the SYSTERS/ design basic

reports for the Unit 1 CS system.

The inspection of electrical components of the CS system included pumps,

motors, breakers, motor operated valves, and associated cabling and

control devices.

The inspection was conducted on a sampling basis by a

comparison of physical installations to Sequoyah Unit 1 as-constructed

d rawi r.g s .

TVA staff personnel accompan;ed inspecters for most of the

electrical walkdowns and all findings and comments were af scussed with

appropriate personnel. Components selected for saepling were necessary in

supporting the analyzed design, function, and operation of the CS system

and therefore provided an adeouate basis for determination of design,

compliance, and performance.

Additionally, the cesign was reviewed for con-

formance to the commitments of the Final Safety Analysis Report

(FSAR), the requirements of the TS and license conditions.

This design review was made for normal station operating modes

including the following postulated concitions:

!

Loss of Coolant Accident (LOCA) - Normal offsite power.

'

'

Loss of Coolant Accident - degraded offsite grid.

Loss of Coolant Accicent - loss of offsite oower (LCOP)

Loss of Coolant Accident - electrical fault

The review was made to determine if the steady state and

transient current and voltage were within the systems component

design ratings.

Correlation between the elect ical parameters of selective

electric components was reviewed. These electrical parameters

were specified in the purchase specifications of electrical

'

equipment, vendors test results, field verified equipment name

plate data, and input data to electrical calculations.

The protection coordination of the electrical systems, curing

postulated fault conditions, was reviewed, relative to the

containment spray system, to assure fault removal with the

minimum disturbance to the unaffected portions of the electrical

systems. Field verification of selected protective relay types

and settings was made.

These data were compared to the relay

calibration test data and to the protection coordination study.

An operability evaluation of the electrical systems was made

relative to and including the containment spray system.

This

evaluation was made by reviewing selective surveillance test

records,

These tests and records are required as specified in

the

Technical

Specifications.

Also

reviewed were

the

operability and cesign of the containment spray pump motor space

heaters.

A followup review of the emergency generator

(3) Auxiliary Electrical System Analysis

The TVA Electrical Loacing Patrix (ELMS) study of the ele:trical

system load flow, fault current and voltage considered the

following plant conditions:

Unit i normal - Unit 2 normal (condition 1)

Unit 1 full load rejection (FLR) - Unit 2 FLR (cond-ition 2)

Unit 1 FLR - Unit 2 Safety Injection (SI) phase A

(condition 3)

Unit 1 FLR - Unit 2 SI pnase B (condition 4)

_ _ _ _ _ _ _

____

a

37

The ibove conditions were analyced at time zero and five seconds

including electric power supplied from tne main generator

(source-1) and from the 161KV system (source-2).

During the

thirty seconds af ter a FLR electric power will be supplied to

the station service auxiliary power system from the main

generator then transferred to the 161KV source.

The ELM study with the reverse of the above conditions for

conditions 3 and 4 and with Unit 1 full load rejection was not

available for review.

The summary and conclusions of the

completed ELM study is presently scheduled to be submitted by

TVA to the NRC ty Ju'y 15, 1988.

The emergency diesel generator loading study was not a"ailable

for review. This study for two unit operation will be submitted

by TVA to the NRC prior to Unit I restart,

The review of these studies are necessary for the completion of

a site electrical systems Safety Evaluation Report.

(4)

Fault Currents

A review of the ELM electrical system study revealed the

following:

The 6.9 KV unit board load breakers interrupt design rating

are exceeded for a postulated fault condition tan a load

cable next to the breaker.

This condition is valid during normal plant operation when

the unit boards are supplied power from the main generator.

The interrupt values that the load breakers would be

required to interrupt are 584 MVA for the smallest motor

and 550 MVA for the largest motor on the unit boards.

The

installed breakers are ITE 7.5HK500 which have a design

interrupt rating of 500 MVA and a performance guarantee

rating cf 525 MVA.

ITE has tested this breaker type for

550 MVA Interruption.

The unit board load becaker interrupt requirements are

higher should a fault occur when the emergency diesel

generators (EDG) are being tested. Only one EDG is tested

at a time. The test frequency is once per month for a one

hour duration per EC3.

The postulated f ault currents in the ELM study are based

upon a three chase bolted f ault with no fault impecance,

This type of fault nas a low probability of occurrence.

The value of the fault currents would cecrease due to both

fault impedance and cistance of the fault from tne bus

toward tne load cue to the increased cable impecance.

.

38

The

6.9KV

shutdown

board

load

breaker

interrupt

requirements are 525 MVA whicn is equal to the breaker

performance guarantee rating.

The ELM study did not list the momentary current for the

fault condition.

Both the interruot and momentary fault

conditions were analy:ed for Unit 2 restart and are

discussed in the Safety Evaluation Report (SER) for

Sequoyah, NUREG-1232, Volume 2.

The interrupt value stated

in the SER for Unit 2 unit board load breakers was more

than 560 MVA. TVA has committed te resolve this problem of

the 6.9KV unit board load breaker fault interruption. This

commitment was given to the NRC in a letter of August 10,

1987.

The NRC staff has requested that TVA provida a

detailed description, analysis, and installation schedule

for implementation of the corrective actions.

TVA has

committed to provide this information before June 30, 1939.

The review of this study is necessary for the completion of

a site electrical systems Safety Evaluation Report and TVA

should make this information available to the NRC reviewer.

The postulated fault current values in the ELM study, at

tne 480 volt portion of sna auxiliary power system, did not

exceed the 480 voit breaker interrupt rating and are

acceptable.

(5) Voltage

The voltage at the 6.9 KV shut swn boards, for time zero,

conditions 1 through 4,

with v rce 1 and 2, was adequate to

maintain the 6.6 KV motors with'i the motors' design rating.

During condition 4 when the shutdown boards are supplied power

from source 2, the voltage at time zero drops below the setooint

of the degraded voltage relay.

This set point is 6560 volts,

plus or minus 33 volts.

After five seconds tne voltage on

shutdown board 1A-A reco"ers to 6662 volts which is 68 volts

above 6560 volts plus 33 volts.

Associated with the degraded

voltage relay is a ten (10) second time delay before system

separation. Although a ten seconc ELMS study was made, it was

not available for review. The concern is the voltage relay cead

band.

TVA was asked to provide this information. The value of

voltage that must be reached to stoo the time delay relay must

be known to assure that the voltage at the shutdown board nas

recovered above the cead band before ten seconds to preclude

unnecessary system separation for the offsite source.

The

information provided oy TVA from the pSO eelay calibration sheet

indicates the uncervoltage relay would reset and stop the timer

at 6600 volts and the snutoo n coarc voltage recovers to 6662 in

5 secones.

, _ _ .

'

.

.

39

The. review of this study is necessary for the completion of a

site electrical systems Safety Evaluation Report and TVA should

make this information available to tne NRC reviewer.

The 480 volt motors did not fall below their 804 starting limits

with one exception.

A motor operated valve (MOV) had 79%

voltage.

The MOV had been specified to start at 75% voltage.

TVA will be asked to show that all 6.6 KV and 460 volt meter

voltages recover to the minimum of minus ten percent of motor

rated voltage after either a condition 3 or 4 when supplied

power from source 2.

The review of this data is necessary for the completion of a

site electrical systems Safety Evaluation Report and TVA should

make this information available to the NRC reviewer.

A review was made for adequate voltage at the containment spray

system Iotors and motor operated valve motor contactors during a

steady state degraded voltage condition.

i

The voltage value used was the setpoint of the degraded voltage

relay which is 6560 volts plus or minus 33 volts. Using tha low

side of 6560 volts minus 33 volts. I volt was added for a value

of 6528 volts.

The containment spray pump motor terminal

voltage was within the motor rating. The motor operated valves,

associated with the containment spray system, also had terminal

y

voltage within their design.

The voltage at the MOV motor

contactor coil was above the TVA test value of 80 volts. During

the contactor minimum voltage test the pickup current was 987

milliamperes. The worst case control current was compared to

the type FRN-1 fuse which is a 1 ampere time delay fuse. The

worst case contactor current was 70% less than the fuse opening

current, at the 10 seconds setpoint of the degraded voltage

condition, where system separation occurs.

(6) Protection Coordination

The protective relay coordination provides selective tripping

during a fault condition to minimize deenergizing electrical

equipment.

The load breakers should open for a load fault

without opening a supply breaker unless there is a f ailure of

its protective relays or the load breaker fails to cpen.

A review was made of protective relays assoc'ated with the unit

transformer and incoming supply breaker to the 6.9 KV unit board

IB.

These relay setpoint curves were compared with the

protective relay setooint curves of reactor coolant pump 2 for

proper coordination.

Reactor coolant pump 2 is the largest

norsepower motor supplied power f rom the unit board 16.

This

coordination review contained for tne protective

relays

associated with unit coard IS tie Dreamer te snutcown Ocard '.A-A

,_

i

'

,

40

including those relays associated with the incoming supply

'reaker to shutdown board 1A-A.

Tne relay setpoint curves

c

associated with the incoming power supply to shutcown board 1A-A

were compared with the protective relay setpoint curves of the

largest norsepower motor on the bus, which is containment soray

pump 1A-A.

The co' rdination review continued from shutdown

board 1A-A through load center transformer 1Al-A to the 450 volt

shutdown board (1Al-A) then to the 480 volt reactor motor

+

operated valve (MOV) board (IAl-A).

Reactor MOV board 1Al-A

supplies power to the containment spray MOVs associated with

containment spray pump 1A-A.

Relay types, trip current setpoints, and time lever settings

were found to be the same between the coordination curves relay

calibration sheets and field verified at the panels.

The

coordination curves indicated that the electrical systems

protective relay setpoint was adequate.

(7) Electrical Operability Surveillance

There were fifteen electrical surveillances considered for

review.

These

are

tests

required

by

the

Technical

Specification.

Due to the extensive data and the review time

available curing this inspection a proper review coulc not be

made at this time.

However, the tests that are identified in

the documents reviewed listing will be given an additional

review both for adequacy of test methods and content.

It was noted in the review for SI-7, Diesel Generato*, that

starting the diesel required pulling fuses, removal of relay

covers, and pushing a relay to make contact.

Also, the

acceptable measurement in the seven day tank, related to the

62,000 gallons required by the Technical Specification, was

given in feet in the Surveillance Instructions.

TVA has not

responded as to why the diesel generator batteries Surveillance

Test did not include both a service and capacity test as did the

vital station batteries.

The review of this information is necessary for the completion

of a site electrical systems Safety Evaluation Report.

'VA

should make this information available to the NRC reviewer.

Electrical Componee s

The time delay relays uwd for the emergency diesel loading and

degraded voltage time delay are of the electric pneumatic typ9.

These relays require that air bleed off to complete the time

delay function.

TVA was asked to provided data that these

relays would not be adversely affected during a tornaco created

atmosphere depression. TVA provided a study, SON-CSS-019, that

indicated that these time delay relays were not adversely

affected during a tornado.

Electrical Components Inspection

(1) Motor Operated Vahes

A wiring verification and inspection was performed on five

Containment Soray motor operated valves. Work was observed on

two additional motor operated valves that had their valve

operators removed and in the mechanical maintenance shop for

repair, Selected valves in the Containment Spray system were

inspected for proper wiring configuration, qualified wire,

correct termination and crimping, limit switch condition, cable

and conductor damage, valve cleanliness and condition, and

environmental qualification.

The wiring was vcrified to be in

accordance with the "As Configured" wiring diagrams.

The

inspection included an electrical verification of valve condi-

tion in the limit switch compartment.

Prior to the NRC field

'perated valves, the licensee had

inspection of the motor

overhauled.

Inspectors surveyed the valve location in the

Unit 1, 714 ft level penetration room. The valve operators had

been disassembled in place and the operators were in the

mechanical shop.

The limit switch covers, limit switches,

,

torque switches, terminal boards, motors, nuts, bolts and

l

washers were located in the general ' work area on top of hanger

ICSH-5 near the valves about 8 feet above floor level.

Several

deficiencies were noted with regard to proper- in-process

handling, storage, and protection of safety related material and

equipment.

This was discussed with electrical supervisory

personnel; however, the condition remainad unchanged during tne

2 week inspection period. The following was noted.

Electrical Control Boards

Containment Spray portions of the 6.9 KV shute wn ocards and

reactor ocards were inspected to determine that system circuits,

relays, breakers, fuses, and switches were properly installed

and that corrective and preventative maintenance had maintained

the electrical boards in accordance with procedures and

drawings.

Prior to the NRC inspection of the electrical boards

TVA had performed a pre-inspection of the same boards using

teams composed of DNE, maintenance, QC, modification, and system

engineering personnel.

NRC inspectors performed a

field

inspection verifying the TVA findings and in addition, found

several additional discrepancies that were not identified by

TVA.

NRC field insoections were conducted with electrical

maintenance superviscry and craft personnel.

The following

items were noted:

  • = NRC identified
  • = Identified during TVA pre-inspection.

Contrary to sections 3.4 and 5.2 of M&AI-7, motor lead T1 on

flow control valve 1-FCV-72-13 was not trained in accordance

with the required bend radius.

In addition, motor leads T1 and

T2, and white conductor wire 25 of cable 1A5335 have cable

repairs using electrical tapo.

This is a violation 327,328,

SS-29-02, example

equipment whicn may be damaged oy dust or moisture. Contrary to

this

requirement,

components

for valves

1-FCV-72-2 and

1-FCV-72-39 were not tagged correctly, nor covered.

These

components were stored in an area where penetration seal work

was being conducted directly overhead.

This is a violation,

327,32S/83-29-02, example 3.

Maintenance Instruction MI-6.20, Configuration Control During

Maintenance Activities, impicments TS procedural requirements

for controlled reassembly ^# safety related components. MI-6.20

states that when a configuration change is returned to normal

the accuracy shall be verified and documented. Contrary to this

procecure, during an internal inspection of the limit switch

component

of

valves 1-FCV-72-41 and 1-FCV-72-22,

loose

extraneous material was identified in the internal of the limit

switch.

This is violation 327,323/83-29-02, example 4

The

loose material

which was

identified

in

violation

327,323/88-29-02, example 4 also constitutes a question with

respect to t e maintenance of the seismic qualification of the

equipment in accordance with IEEE 344 Recommended Practice for

Seismic Qualification of Class 1E Eculpment for Nuclear Power

Generating Stations.

IEEE 344 states that it must ce

demonstrated that the equipment is capable of performing its

safety function thecughout its qualified life including its

functional operability during and af ter an SSE at the end of

life. It further states that justification must be provided to

show that the equipment to be qualified is similar to the data

base equipment. If extraneous material has been left within the

qualified equipment, then the installed equipment may no longer

be similar to the data base equipment, test or calculation that

was originally used to support seismic qualification.

In addition to the discrepancies listed in violation 327,323/

83-29-02, examples 1-4, the discrepancies listed in the .MOV and

control board sections cf th!n report relate to inadequate

implementation of several sections of

M&AI-7, Cable Termi-

nations,

Splicing and Repair of Damaged Cables,

SCM-2,

Maintenance Management System, and SQA-66, Plant House Keeping.

The additional discrepancies icentifiec above recuire resolutior

prior to the startup of Sequoyah Unit 1.

Adequate corrective

action for violation 327.323/SE-29-02,

Failure to Paintain

Safety-Related Electrical Equipment, will include correction of

identified deficiencies,

evaluation

of

root

cause

and

appropriate action to preclude recurrence.

In addition adecuate

(3) Cabling

Inspectors reviewe: cable routing rec *rds for the Containment

Spray system cables and performed on a sampling basis, a

physical inspection of 6.9 KV Containment Spray pump power

cables, and cable trty system associated with that system.

Cables and trays inspected were reviewed for divisional

separation, segregation, identification, loading, associated

cabling and cable condition. Mechanical aspects of the cable

tray supports are addressed in the support section of this

report. TVA perfor.*ed a cre-inspection of the cables and trays

for the 6.9 KV power cables for the IA-A and IB-B Containment

Spray pumps. During the pre-inspection, cable IPP637B (CS pump

1B-B 6.9 KV power cable) was found to be routed in tne wrong

tray for a distance of about 20 feet.

The cable lef t the

specified tray AA-B between nodes 5 and 6 and entered tray A0-B

between nodes 13 and 14.

The cable exited tray A0-B between

nodes 15 and 16 and entered conduit 1pP6378.

Inspcctors performed a physical

inspection of the

IA-A,

Containment Spray pump power cable tray AM-A between nodes 25

and 28.

Correct cable count and identification were verified

for this tray section.

No deficiencies were noted.

Inspectors performed a physical inspection of the misrouted

cable in tray A0-B on the 669 f t,

level of the auxiliary

building. Inspection of this tray section verified a portion of

the TVA walkdown on cable 1pP625A.

Inspectors performed a

physical inspwetion of cable trays A0-B between nodes 13 and 16

and AA-B between A10 and A12 and verified the misrouted cable.

Although the cable was misrouted and not in accordance with the

approved routing schedule, inspectors concluded that the routing

was

satisfactory with

respect

to

separation,

voltage

segregation, associated cabling, and Appendix R considerations.

Based on tray fill and cable count of tray 40-B in the area of

the misroute, it appeared that tray loading and ampacity would

be satisfactory.

It appeared that the niscouting was from

original plant construction.

Tray AA-8, the correct tray,

turned away from the area the cable needed to be routed and tray

A0-B continued in the required direction to about 5 feet from

the conduit entry point for Containment Spray pu p 1B-B cable.

Inspectors concluded that the miscouted cable presented no

operability or safety prcblems and that based on the tray

location and routing, the misrouting may have been an original

construction walkdown drawing error. Discussions with TVA staff

indicated that a Crawing Desistion request and a CAQR were ceirg

preparec to docu ert anc resoise tne issue,

Instru entation and Control (Design Evaluation)

In each of the following sections the design phase of the inspection

evaluated the system and components against select requirements as

indicated in the report,

a.

Instrument Verification

The design aspects and application of the following instruments were

reviewed:

PDT 30-42 Containment / Annulus Differential Pressure Channel IV

POT 30-43 Containment / Annulus Differential Pressure Channel III

POT 30-44 Containment / Annulus Differential Pressure Channel II

POT 30-45 Contain.ent/ Annulus Differential Pressure Channel I

Interlock and Control Functions

(1) The operability of tne C5 pumo miniflow protective circuit was

evaluatec,

This circuit protects tne pump Oy allowing pump

cischarge to be circulated back.to the pump intake if flow in

the discharge

line drops below that reouired for pu p

operability. The flow is measured by fhw elements FE-72-34 or

13, and if upon starting, flow is not acnieved in the spray

header within a preset time interval, the circulation is back to

the intake.

The flow elements are ANNUBARs.

.

The design evaluation of the miniflow control channels revealed

the following:

inspectors reviewed the specifications for tne

flow channels used for measuring containment spray flow; this

measurement is used for flew indication, and at the lower end of

its range, provides a signal for miniflow control. . Inspectors

also reviewed schematic diagram 45N779-26 nevision T.

dated

January 16,

1983, vendor loop diagram (GE) 0-30C0K13-513

sheet 9, Revision E, instrument accuracy calculation 1-FT-72-13

,

Rey, 4 dated April 30, 1988, and ECN 6674 Revision 1 dated

April 30, 1933.

The inspector identified several miniflow control issues. These

issues regarced the ability of the miniflow control to function

,

as described in the FSAR under all cesign basis conditions, the

"

accuracy of the flow indication presented to the operator, and

j

the implications for any other safety-related systems using

l

Annubars.

I

First, the use of an Annubar for measuring flow during the

containment sump recirculation phase does not assure a

,

functional system, since the ports and plenum of the element

could become blocked by pcst-accident debris or particulates

'

from the sump.

The TVA specification did not stipulate debris

and particulate as a design basis.

If the upstream ports were

blocked, a false low flow measurement could result, which would

,

!

open the miniflon vahe at normal flow values rather inan at the

low flow setpoint.

This would divert flow from the spray

headers, and could occur concurrently for both C5 system trains.

Overriding the flow signal from the cont"ol room (i.e., closing

j

the valve) must be cone by holding down tM mo entary action

I

control switenes, making corrective action difficult.

The consecuences of diserted miniflow are discussed in Srction

1.j.3 of this report. In addition, inaccurate flow irdications

,

in both CSS trains would be presented to tne operator for

serifying containment spray flow; this verification is recuirec

i

by Emergency Instruction ES-1,2, "Transfer to RHR Containment

Second

ECN (674 reported structural inadequacy of the original

Annuoars which had one-sided support; that ECN replaces the

original elements with Annubars having two-siced support.

Discussions with TVA staf f indicated snat ene original Annudar

had been damaged in service.

Inspectors requested that TVA

i

crovide a root cause and extent determination for the original

failure of the Annubar element to provido assurance that

problems do not exist for cther safety-related systems.

This

issue is designated URI 327,328/SS-29- % , Exaeple

Engineering Assurance review of the design basis informat' ion

related to this issue.

I

Third, it was noted that it was not apparent that element errors

!

due to process upstream / downstream flow conditions were

l

accounted for.

These errors would take into account installed

upstream / downstream straight run, tees, elbows, and other

!

significant disturbances that could result in repeatability

!

trrors

related

to

the

velocity

profile.

Subsequent

documentation of the installed conditions was retrieved by TVA,

r

indicating that the downstream conditions were not within the

i

ieference conditions

stipulated by the vendor

for

the

i

repeatability specifications quoted.

'

This issue was identified as a deficiency and provided for

,

licensee information.

l

P-

It was also noted that the setpoint calculation concludes that a

i

!

setpoint of at least 1200 gpm is required, due to an assumed 5:1

turndown ratio for the element (due to the square root

)

relationship of differential pressure to flow).

However, the

l

actual setpoint indicated on the current instrument tabulation

i

is 500 gpm, which is below the region of accurate measurement.

[

TVA explained that the instrument tabulation will be updated to

l

reflect

the

higher setpoint after the modification is

i

implemented,

Inspectors concluded this action was acceptable

and in accordance with TVA peccedures.

'

(2) An inspection was performed to verify the existence of an

i

interlock between FCV-72-23 and 22 for CS A train and FCV-72-20

and 21 for C$ B trair,.

Tne function of this interlock is to

.

prevent the CS pump f rom taking suction from the RWST and the

i

containment sump at the same time.

review included three inauiries to TVA regarding the manual

suction transfer scheme.

The inspector note: a safety evaluation assumption cited in

SQN-DC-V-27.5, Rev. 2, paragraph 3,9,1, wherein 110 seconds

'

-

is assumed from CS pump shutoff to pump restart. TVA was

/

asked to provide the basis for a manual switchover (rather

than an automatic switchover) in light of this apparent

requirement for operator action within less than 2 minutes.

TVA clarified the statement in SQN-0C-V-27.5, stating thtt

the 110 seconds is not a limiting value f;r the manual

switchover, but rather represents their evalvation of the

operator action sequence time as described in FSAR Table

6.3.2-5.

It was further stated that the )$miting value as

determined by the containment pressure an 1ysis t is 310

4

seconds, per Table 1 of the "Westinghouse Report for the

SNP Units 1 and 2 Containment Pressure Calculations with an

Extended Containment Spray Pump koading Delay" cated

June 1987.

Considerti,g that the switchover is a manual

preplanned

operation prescribed by procedures,

the

inspector concluded that the requirement for manual actua-

tion within 310 seconds was acceptable.

The inspector noted that a postulated single failure to the

MOV circuits of inttrest might result in connection of the

containment sump and RWST through a single train of valves.

The inspector asked that TVA address the consequences of

this postulated event and demonstrate that the consequences

were within the design basis.

TVA demonstrated that the

consequences of the postulated failure would be an early

switchovt- to sump recirculation (since the RWST level

would drop more rapidly prior to switchover). The FSAR in

section 7.6.6 takes credit for measures that would preclude

spurious actuation of SIS sump valves 63-72 and 63-73;

therefore, we do not include spurious actuation of these

valves in our postulated scenario.

Accordingly, these

valves may be assumed to recat. closed until recircu'ation.

Following switchover, TVA demonstrated that no loss of

inventuty would

result,

spray

flow would not

be

interrupted, and spray temperatures would be within design

values (since ice melt would not be cceplete).

TVA was

aste

to demonstrate that any release paths to atmospnere

(via the RWS f) during this postulated single failure have

been adequately addressed, taking into account check sal,e

leakage.

This issue is designated URI 327,328/8S-29-06,

The interlocks that prevent operation of the sump iselation

valves are bypassec ey a "seal-in" wnile the sump valve is

j

opening.

Consecuently, there is a very brief interval

,

where the Ed$T cutlet valve could be reopened from tne

i

control room, defeating the interlock.

However, this

vulnerability is limited to a short interal during the

!

first (nominal) 5*. of sump valve travel, dwing which the

i

postulated overriding operator action would need to be

1

taken to defeat the interlock.

Also, if this were to

!

occur, the corresponding interlock in the RWST valve

!

circuit would be cuickly reinstatec, limiting the RW57

,

valve travel for this event. Emergency Instruction (EI)

ES-1.2, Transfer to RHR Containeent Sum, Rev. 5, dated

January 12, 1955, explictly prescribes the seivence of

!

operator actions required to achieve the manual transfer.

Operating the valves in the postulated manner would violate

the Emergency Instruction.

TVA's response noted that check valve 72-505 is prov'ded as

a second isolation point for the postulated release path

a

h

(Reference FSAR Yable 6.4.2-8).

They stated that this

i

check valve was raanufactured and tested to an acceptance

criteria of 24 cc/ hour of seat leikage, and the valve is

maintained under the ASME Section XI valve testing progre

to assure operability.

In addition, a water leg is

,

1

maintained from the RWST that provides in additional

ba r r'i e r to the ateosphere.

The inspector found TVA's

respenses to be acceptable.

The inspector concluded that this limited vulneN.bility for

defeat of the interlocks is acceptable since nJfeat would

require violation of the E! by the eperator and wtuld only

be possible for only a very brief time interval.

Based on the foregoing review, the design of the interlocks

appears to be acceptable pending a satisf actory re aiution

of URI 327 323/55-23-06, E m ple 1.

(3) An inspection of the design of the provisions fer the acto?atic

activation of the C5 system was performed. The syster is cased

the NRC staff.

On that basis, we focused our review on the

field instrumentation.

,

t

TVA verified that no hign energy line breaks requiring

[

mitigation by containment spray or high containment pressure

!

initiate safety injections would cause common mode failure of

l

the containment / annulus differential pressure instruments.

On

this basis, the physical separation provided by the 4 field

,

,

instrument racks appears acceptable.

With regard to seismic

j

l c,

supports for the impulse line tubing, TVA is verifying this and

4

l

other field routec tubing as a cart of TVA's longer ters

cce:.rf tment to verification of field routed instrument lines

against engineered installation criteria.

With regard to

.

potential offects on response tiee. TVA reported that tre

sensing lines are 1/2" schodule 80 piping having maximum length

of about 20 feet, the penetrationt, are 3/4" schedule 160, and no

restrictions exist in the lines.

On that basis, inspectors

concluded the lines would not adversely affect response time.

l

l

The inspector noted that TVA is currently replacing the

differential pressure transmitter 1-PDT-30-44 with Foxboro Model

NE130M.

The de cnstrated accuracy calculation dated April 10,

1938, for these new ;ransmitters indicated a range of -1 to 13

psig which was less than the range stipulated in FSAR Taole

7.5.1-2.

TVA determined that this was an isolated typographical

,

!

error appearing once in the calculation and did not affect the

results.

TVA will correct the calculation document.

It was also noted that the au.uracy calculation establishes the

tolerances

for post-accident indication and not for the

actuation signal setpoint. TVA indicatea that the tolerance for

the actuation signal value is determineo by WCAP 11239 Rev. 2,

dated Septe-ber 1986,

TVA was asked to confirm that the new

transmitters are bounded by WCAP 11239 and to more explicitly

demonst, rate or elsrify the margin between the actual setpoint

value and the measured value.

TVA retrieved NS$5 vencor

,

dc;;u:entation cemenstrating tc the team that these aspects of

i

the tolerance ralculations were properly covered by t.he vendor's

support of WCAF 11239.

TVA was asked to provide assu ance that obstruction or isolation

of the lines would net go unottactec, noting tnat the traes-

mitter process input simulation for test purposes is r4 ported to

be do9e at the instru ent rack.

If the untested pettions of the

lines were blocked and not detected, automatic initiation of

containrent spray and automatic initiation of safet,y injection

en high containrent pressure a uld be cefeated.

(4) An inspection was performed to verify the discharge isolation

I

valve / pump inte,' lock for one CS train.

Inspectors reviewed schematic diagrams 45N779-10 Rev. O dated

6/1/88 and 45N765-7 Rev. O dated 4/8/88. The interlock were in

conform nce

to

the

requirements

of

FSAR

6.2.2.5

and

SQN-DC ,-27.5 Rev. 2, para. 3.9.1, and acceptable on that basis,

c.

The following CS instrumentation design criteria were evaluated:

(1) The response time cesign cnaracteristics of the CS system witn a

containment pressure initiation signal was evaluated.

Inspectors examined the overall design of the CSS actuation

signal charnels, noting that the hardware and configuration of

the analog signal conditioning and actuation logic was of a

generic design provided by the NSSS vendor and previously

reviewed by the NRC staff. On that basis, the response times of

the analog signal

conditioning,

function modules,

logic

circuits, and master / slave output relays would be expected to

have an acceptable design basis for use in the containment spray

system.

Similar hardware in the system is used to provide

reactor trip and safety injection signals, for example.

The design of the containment / annulus dif ferential pressure

transmitters and impulse lines was also examined (as reported in

item 3.b.(3), and it was concluded that the design basis for the

'

response time of these instruments appears to be bounded by the

design basis described in FSAR 7.3, and is therefore acceptable.

(2)

he design relationship between the SI system and the CS system

shile in the recirculation mode is described in design document

SQN-0SG7-008.

This design document addresses the containment

sump minimum level at the time of switchover to the recir:ula-

tion mode and the allowable margin for RWST level instrument

inaccuracy for a large LOCA.

(3) Design Evaluation of RWST Level Channel Accuracy

Inspectors checked instrument accuracy calculation 843871001915,

RWS1 Level, Rev. 5.

dated October 1,

19S7.

This calculation

established the demonstrated a; curacy for RWST level channels

1-LT-63-50,-51,-52,53 which are used for automatic switchboard

and lo-lu clarm.

Those instrument channels al>o include level

indicators.

was ask to demonstrate that there were no inconsistencies in the

approach and that the TVA methods are intended to be generally

consistent with WCAP 11239 reinocology.

In addition, a review was conducted of interfacing instrument

accuracy assumptions embodied in TVA calculation SQN-0SG7-0008,

Containment Sump Minimum Level at Time of Switchover to

Recenciliation Mode for a large LOCA, Rev. 4, dated May 6, 1988.

The review of these assumptions identified that slightly less

conservative accuracies were assumed in SQN-0$G7-0003 for the

automatic switchover (low level) and alarm (low-low level)

signals

than were demonstrated by the

latest revision

(Revision f) to the instrument calculation. This appears to be

a case where the latest revision of the instrument calculation

was

not used.

The

consequences

of

this

error

are

nonconservative, but are insignificant with respect to safety

(less than 2000 gallons volume and approximately 2 inches water

of NPSH).

However, the programmatic issue of maintaining

current calculation cross references should be addressed by TVA.

We understand that TVA will

issue a PIR addressing and

correcting this inconsistency.

It was noted by the team that if the indicators shown in the

instrument calculation were used for post-accident monitoring

(PAM), the indicator channel accuracy does not appear to be

within the plus or minus 3'; of span specified in FSAR Table

7.5.1-2.

TVA was asked to demonstrate that the PAM RWST level

indicators meet the FSAR requirements.

In addition, TVA should

demonstrate that the RWST level indication used for TS opera-

bility determination

(i.e.,

assurance of adequate RW9T

inventory) has been properly assessed for demonstrated accuracy.

This item remains open pending TVA's clarification of the WCAP

11239 results, issuance of a PIR regarding the calculation

discrepancy, and demonstration that the RWST level indication

channels and allowable values for PMis and TS values have been

properly assessed for the ef fects of instrument errors.

This

issue is designated URI 327,323/88-29-06, Example

Component Environmental Qualification Irapection

a.

Field walkdowns were conducted on selected Containment Spray motor

operated valves, instruments, motors, penetrations and electrical

equipment.

All Raychem splices encountered in notor operatec valves

were inspected for evidence of deterioration, camage, overlap, terd

radius, and nuclear sealant at the wire / Ray:nem interface.

switch covers, gaskets and gasket sealing surfaces were inspected for

condition and damage.

Instruments were inspected for broken

conduits. loose connection boxes, and loose trahw.iite /;nJicatec

covers.

Junction boxes and conculet covers were not removed to

inspect Raychem splices. Containment spray pump motors, penetrations

and other electrical equipment were physically inspected during the

walkdown.

Issues identified in the environmental qualification walkdowns were

limited to improper wire repairs within Containment Spray motor

operated valves. The specific details a-e discussed in section 2 of

this report.

The issees involved use of electrical tape to repair

damaged MOV internal wiring,

b.

EQ binders for the following components were sampled for anomalies

with EQ design bases and other engineering criteria (such as

environmental data and component functional requirements):

(1) Containment Spray Pump Motor (SQNEQ-MOT-001 Rev.10, March 11,

1988).

(2) MOV 1-FCV-72-20: Sump isolation to CSP suction MOV 1-FCV-72-22:

RWST isolation to CSP suction (SQNEQ-M0V-004 Rev. 15, May 6,

1988).

(3)

1-FT-72-13, -34: CSS Header Flow Transmitters (SQNEQ-XMT12-003,

Rev. 13, May 19, 1988).

No anomalies were found in the binders, and they appeared comprehen-

sive and readily auditable.

However, a potential programmatic

problem was identified regarding possible use by engineering of "as

constructed" environmental data drawings (47E235 series).

In the

review, the inspector used "as-constructed" drawings provided by TVA,

and noted technical errors on those drawings regarding post-accident

integrated dose for certain plant areas; these areas were incorrectly

identified as mild radiation (<10' Rad). More current "as-designed"

drawings subsequently retrieved by TVA had correct information.

Tne

inspector had a concern regarding the possibility that a design

engineer might nistakenly use the obsolete "as-constructed" drawings

and incorrectly specify the 59rvice environment for new equipment.

The licensee currently has a comorehensive drawing control and

upgrade program in progress.

This issue was identified as a deficiency ano ;rovided for licensee

information.

5.

Maintenance and Housekeeping Inspection

Inspectors performed a verification on a sampling basis of the adecuacy of

the mair.tenance program as applied to the CS system..

Tne following was

consicerec:

.

63

Management / supervisory involvement.

Maintenan n instruction enhancement.

Preventative maintenance.

Maintenance *, raining.

Ade uacy of recent work requests performed on the system.

Review of work requests encountered during walkdowns.

Inspe: tion for maintenance condition of system components (leakage,

integrity,

bent

stems, missing or imprope- fasteners, mounting,

preservation, hazards) during walkdowns.

The inspector verified the adequacy of all hold orders associated with the

Containment Spray System. The inspector reviewed selected completed work

requerts for acequacy and reviewed the licensee's work control printout of

all open work requests on the Containment Spray System. No discrepancies

were noted in any of the maintenance activities reviewed by the inspector.

The inspector reviewed 'he licensee's preventative maintenance program as

it applies to the containment spray system.

The inspector determined

through discussions with the licensee that a PM upgrade progr_m is

presently in progress to improve and standardize the PM program and

procedures. The first phase of this improvement program is scheduled for

completion prior to the end of 1938.

The program apoeared to be

adequately implemented.

The inspectors conducted a housecleaning inspection of the Unit 1

containment spray pump rooms, heat exchanger (HX) rooms, and pipe chases

and had the following observation.

Large amounts of insulation were

scattered about the pump and HX rooms and the 690 pipe chase.

The

insulation removal was a result of ongoing work. The overall cond',cior

f

the plant was acceptable with respect to housekeeping with the exception

of maintenance discrepancies on motor operated valves discussed in Section

2 of this report.

6.

Structural Supports

Design and in plant field observation phases of tne inspo: tion were used

to evaluate Unit 1 for proper design and design implementation relative to

structural supports.

In each of the following sections, the design phase

of the inspection evaluated the system and components again:t the appli-

cabl9 standards listed at the end of this report and the SYSTERS/ design

basis reports for the Unit 1 CS system.

The inspectors walked down the CS system and selected a number of

hydraulic and mechanical snubbers, other pipe supports, cable tray

supports, and equipment foundations for a detailed review.

The detailed

review was performed to verify whether or not the installation was in

accordance with design drawings and that the installation was techni: ally

adequate.

Pipe Snubbers and Other Pipe Supports / Restraints

TVA's program to review the rigorously analyzed piping and supports

for Sequoyah Unit 1 was presented to the NRC on April 14, 1988. As

noted in TVA's presentation, TVA's program philosophy for this review

uses the similarity between Units 1 and 2,

addresses open NRC

Bulletin 79-14 items, and performs an integrated evaluation of

as-built data, nonconformances (CAQRs, NCRs, PIRs, SCRs), and

as-built discrepancies.

The specific elements in TVA's review program include field

walkdowns, a review of the calculations of record, and revisio;i or

regeneration of these calculations as warranted, and modificat'ons to

supports performed pre- or post-restart.

The scope of TVA's program includes the review of 25 safety-related

piping systems, 162 piping analyses, and approximately 2900 pipe

supports. Specific program procedures, originally implemented for

TVA's program to regenerate the pipe support calculations for Unit 2,

include:

Revision 3 of CEB-DI 21.87 added TVA's commitment to assess the

adequacy of the pipe support calculations prepared by Gilbert

Commonwealth.

TVA will perform a general technical review of at

least ten percent of the calculations and perform a thorough

line-by-line review of at least 50 pipe support calculations.

TVA's

overview of Gilbert Commonwealth's work parallels TVA's overview of

the pipe support calculations which Bechtel and Stone and Webster

prepared for Unit 2.

Design Criteria No. SQN-DC-V-24.2, Supports for Rigorously Analyzed

Category I Piping, Revision C, dated November 30, 1957, establishes

the design requirements for the evaluation or design of pipe supports

"or rigorously analyzed Category I piping.

Re-evaluated pipe supports which cannot meet the requirements of

Design Criteria SQN-0C-V-24.2 can be evaluated to the interim

criteria detailed in CEB-CI 21.89. Supports which meet these interim

criteria can be reviewed to SQN-DC-V-24.2 after restart and nodified.

Support designs which cannot meet the interim design criteria of

CEB-CI 21.89 must be reconciled, either by enhanced analysis or

modification, prior to restart.

On June 30, 1988, TVA indicated tnat approximately 2500 of 2900 cipe

supports had been reviewed, that 2430 pipe supports required no

modification, that 200 supports reauired ecci fi cati on s befcre

The specific attributes which were reviewed for the above pipe

supports are listed below:

The pipe support was designed to restrain the pipe loadings in

the proper direction and location.

The proper loading value, direction and orientation was

transmitted to the pipe support designer f rom the pipe stress

analyst.

The structural analyst checked the pipe support stresses against

the proper allowables for all structural shapes in axial,

bending, shear, co-bined stress interaction, web crippling, etc.

Loccl stresses induced into the piping by welded attacn-ents

were properly consicered.

_ - _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

o

67

o

Torsional stresses were properly considered.

Concrete anchor bolts, including bass olate flexibility, were

addressed.

Support rigidity / frequency or deflection limits were considered

properly.

Component standard supports properly applied.

St'ructural computer program used in an appropriate manner using

proper units, loadings, properties, geometry, etc.

The as-analy:ec pipe support configuration agrees with or has

been properly compared with the as-built condition.

Weld configurations and sizes used in the analysis agree with

the as-built configurationt and sizes.

All structural analysis computer output has been properly

reviewed.

That proper consideration has been given to special design

considerations such as thermal environmental conditions.

In general the pipe support calculations reviewed were prepared in

such a manner that enabled the work to be reviewed with little

outside explanation.

The calculations were considered

to be

auditable and generally well documented.

During the

' view of the

above pipe supports several items were identified whicn require TVA

action.

On page 6 of the pipe support calculation for 1-H21-17 the loadings

are i sntified in a local direction.

However, the piping isometric

and

tress analysis calculations clearly indicate that the direction

of estraint is the global Z-direction. Existing Unit 2 calculations

e ussd to qualify the Unit i support and the Unit 2 calculation

w

as performed using the proper load orientation.

Therefore, this

item results in only a documentation error which TVA should correct.

This issue was identified as a deficiency and provided for licensee

j

information.

l

j

For support calculation 1-421-100, it was not apparent that the

as-installed direction of the snubber is in agreement with the

i

restraint direction indicated in the pipe stress analysis.

It was

necessary to perform a calculation to insure that the restraint was

installed in tne proper direction.

Generally, a pipe support's

direction of restraint is oDvious and can be determined from just

looking at the support drawing.

However, for supports with

complicated geometry such as supper's connecting to the steel

, - _

'

l

.

l

containment vessel, a calculation may be required when the restraint

direction is not clear from just looking at the support drawing. TVA

should consicer performing the necessary cal;ulations where required

to assure that the pipe support has been destgred to restrain the

proper loading direction.

This issto was identified as a deficiency and provided for licensee

information.

Page 16 of pipe support calculation 1-CHS-96 contains a weld calcu-

lation which indicates a weld si:e of 0.132 inch is requirec arc a

0.165 inch weld is provided.

However, the calculation also states

that a significant portion of the weld was determined to have a size

of only 0.08 inch.

Therefore, tne welc as analyzed would result in

an overstressed condition.

Also the weld calculation is not very

clear in its determination of weld size.

TVA was notified of this

issue and should resolve the inconsistency.

This issue is designated URI 327.323/88-29-06

l

The inspector's review of pipe restraints 1-CSH-400, -403, -413 and

'

-444 indicated no deficiencies with respect to the design attributes.

In conclusion, the sample of rigorously analyzed snubber and rigid

i

pipe supports were reviewed for the attributes listed above and with

i

the exceptions discussed, the supports were determined to have )een

adequately addressed by TVA. The analyses of record for these pipe

The di sc repar.cie s identified by TVA in their pre-SSQE walkdown

included undersized welds, missing locknuts, undersized material and

The new discrepancies identified by the

NRC inspector included undersized welds, load bolts, structural

shapes, concrete expansion anchors and spring can assemblies.

Nineteen of the 29 discrepancies identified by the NRC had not been

identified during the previous TVA walkdown programs or by the

walkdown TVA conducted prior to the SSQF inspection.

Numerous instances were identified where design features, such as

weld details, were not specified on the drawings used for

construction and inspection. Undersized welds, expansion anchors and

load bolts indicate that either inadequate modifications have been

performed or the supports had been inadequately inspected.

In

addition, numerous discrepancies had not been identified earlier

curing previous TVA walkcown/ inspections either due to a oif f e ent

scope of inspection or an inadequate inspection.

Inadequate design

performed visual inspections and measurements to verify compliance

with design drawings and support documents. A design evaluation was

performed on the CS Heat Exchanger 1A and CS Pump 1A-A and IB-B

supports.

(1) CS Heat Exchanger Support 1A calculation SCG 1S 180 (B25

Unit 1

Containment

Spray Heat Exchanger support adopts

calculation SCG 15 179, Rev. O, cated December 19, 1987, which

'

analyzed the identical heat exchanger supports in Unit 2.

These

calculations were performed as a result of the discovery of

inadequacies in the original calculations as identified by CAQR

SQP 870188, dated March 11, 1987.

This CAQR identified the

inadequacy of the calculations in that improper vendor loads had

,

been used. Review of Drawing 48N1231 demonstrated that the heat

!

exchanger foundation supports are identical except they are

mirror images.

The Unit 2 corrective measure was reviewed by

accordance with the Draf t ASME Code for Pumps and Valves for

Nuclear Power, Class II, dated 1968, and March 1970 AJdenda.

TVA procured the CS pumps in accordance with the design criteria

contained in TVA purchase specification No. 71C30-92646,mPumps,

Centrifugal,

Electric-Motor-Driven, which TVA prepared on

November 9, 1970.

TVA design specification No. N2M-46 R0, Sequoyah Nuclear Plant

Units 1 and 2/ Centrifugal Pumps for Containment Spray, dated

May 18,

1972,

forms a part of the CS pump purchase

specification, and contains detailed design provisions in

specification 1153 for Electric-Motor-Driven Centrifugal Pumping

Units for Containment Spray Service for Sequoyah Nuclear

Plants 1 and 2.

TVA prepared this specification in compliance

with paragraph N-141 of the draft ASME Code for Pumps and Valves

for Nuclear Power, dated November 1968.

The functional requirements for the pump and motor detailed in

Specification 1153 are in accordance with the pump and motor

design parameters specified in the FSAR.

Section 22 of

Specification 1153, Seismic Requirements, notes in part that:

The pump-motor assembly and all individual parts of the

pump shall be designed to operate satisfactorily during

earthquake forces resulting from acceleration in the

horizontal and vertical directions.

The forces are 1.0 g

horizontal and 0.67 g vertical, applied simultaneously at

the center of gravity.

The entire assembly must be

designed to receive and transmit these forces through the

supports to the foundation.

TVA procured the CS pumps prior to TVA's formal implementation

of Appendix F, Design Criteria for Qualification of Seismic

Class I and Seismic Class II Mechanical

and

Electrical

Equipment, which TVA issued on February 11, 1971, and which TVA

subsequently used to specify the seismic requirements for

safsty-related mechanical and electrical equipment.

The CS pump is shown on Weise & Monski Outline Drawing No. UE

032-12.50-2. Rev. 1, dated June 23, 1972.

Weise & Monski calculation No. TP-001-2, Seismic Calculation of

Strengths, Containment Spray Pump, Rev.1, dated July 27, 1972,

(RIMS No. 870824T0771) was originally prepared to qualify the CS

pumps to the design criteria detailed in TVA Specification 1153.

However, based on two generic deficiencies which the NRC

identified during an inspection of SQN Unit 2 during the latter

part of 1987, Deficiency 03.4-6, Vendor Seismic Qualification

.

75

Reports, and Deficiency D3.6-1,

Equinment Anchorages, TVA

prepared the following calculations:

SQN-CEB-SCG-2E-105-375,

Seismic

Qualification, Equipment, Rev. O, dated February 12, 1988

(RIMS No. B25 88 0215 319).

United Engineers (UEC) prepared Rev. O of the first calculation

for TVA on November 24, 1987, to compute the anchor bolt loads

for the Unit 2 CS pump.

TVA technical staff revised the

calculation to incorporate the Unit 1 CS pumps.

Impell prepared the second calculation for TVA to re qualify the

Unit 2 pump to the governing mechanical and seismic loads in

accordance with the ASME design code of record. As noted in the

Impell calculotion, the original qualification report which

Weise & Monski prepared for the CS pump was prepared in

accordance with German standards applicable to commercial pumps,

and did not provide documented evidence that these criteria were

consistent with the ASME code requirements for the CS pump

materials and pump assembly.

Review of the first TVA calculation indicated that UEC computed

the seismic component of the anchor bolt tension and shear by

using the zero period acceleration (ZPA) loads instead of the

1.0g horizontal, 2/39 vertical accelerations specified for the

CS pump in the purchase specification. The ZPA loads are about

15 percent of the specified seismic loads. UEC chose to use the

ZPA loads based on the assumption that the CS pumps are rigid.

However, UEC's use of the ZPA loads to compute the seismic

component of the anchor bolt loads is unconservative with

respect to Specification 1153.

The inspector noted that

Impell's calculation to re qualify the pump assembly uses the

correct seismic loads.

TVA's design of the pump foundation pad, which uses the anchor

bolt loads as input design loads, also needs to be reviewed.

The second calculation, which Impell

prepared for TVA,

requalifies the CS pump assembly, in part, to the manufacturer's

allowable suction nozzle loads and to the Unit 2 discharge

nozzle loads calculated in the piping analysis of record by TVA.

However,

the

calculation does not address the seismic

qualification of the Westinghouse motor, or the qualification of

the bolts which restrain the motor to the pump baseplate.

this concern,

TVA prepared calculation MCL

A09/SCG-4M-00457, Seismic Qualification of Containment Spray

Pump Motor,

Rev. O,

dated June 24,

1988.

However,

the

calculation does not confirm the seismic qualification of the

motor and the motor hold-down bolts to the 1.0 , 2/39 design

9

seismic loads.

TVA provided the inspectors with an additional calculation

entitled Sequoyah Nuclear Plant, Containment Spray Pump Nozzle,

Rev. 1, dated February 23,1982 (RIMS no. CEB 82 0225 002). The

team recommends that this calculation be voided, since the

calculation appears to be superseded by the calculation which

Impell recently prepared for TVA.

In summary, the team notes that TVA needs to perform the

following:

Check the CS pump base plate anchor bolts for the design

seismic loads.

o

Review the design for the CS pump foundation pad for these

revised loads.

Requalify the CS pump for the Unit i nozzle loads.

Provide evidence that the CS pump motor and motor hold-down

bolts are qualified for the design seismic loads.

This issue is designated URI 327,328/88-29-06, Example

q.,

and

requires resolution prior to the startup of Sequoyah Unit 1.

Adequate resolution for the above URI shall include an

Engineering Assurance review of the design basis information

related to this issue.

The inspectors reviewed a calculation for pump foundation

supports SCG15173x106 (B25 8P-1029-482), dated January 29, 1988.

I

Orawing 41N307-3 locates nump and mark number 410307-1 provides

the bolt details.

Drawing 41N353-1 Revision 4,

contains

dimensions of the punp concrete foundation.

The pump is held down to a 2'-3" reinforced concrete slab by six

1" diameter A307 bolts. There is 5/4" of grout and a 6" thick

concrete pad between the concrete slab and the bottom of the

pump support frame.

An anchor bolt is designed for maximum of 16570 lbs. of tension

and 9844 lbs. of shear.

These loads are results of a separate

pump analysis referenced as SCG-4M-00168.

calculation was done in accordance with the methodology provided

in . AISC Sec. 5-1.6.3 and concluded that they are within

allowable stresses.

The inspectors performed a simplified and

conservative independent calculation and came to the same

conclusion.

The anchor bolt concrete capacity was investigated

for tension pullout load.

The (rout pad and 6" concrete pad

were not considered, which is conservative.

The result indicated that there exists a safety factor of more

than four which is acceptable.

(3) The following foundations were inspected in the field:

CS Heat Exchanger 1B per drawing 48N1231, FCR 6873 R1,

CS Pump 18-B per drawings UE 032-12.50-2, 41N353-1, 41N307,

41N307-3, 41N309, and 41N309-1.

The lower support for the Heat Exchanger 1B was found to be

installed in accordance with design drawings with regard to

bolting, member size, configuration, and weld size, location and

quality. The following discrepancies related to bolting of the

heat exchanger to the upper support structure were identified:

Six of eight fasteners were loose, two with only 1/2 nut

engagement.

One assembly had no washer.

The remaining seven fasteners had flat washers ir stalled on

the sloped inside surface of the structural channel flange.

The American Institute of Steel Construction (AISI) Manual

of Steel Construction and TVA Modifications and Addition

Instruction M& AI 9,

"Tightening,

Inspection,

and

Documentation of Bolted Connections", require the use of

beveled washers for surfaces that slope greater than 1:20.

A fol;owup inspection by TVA also identified that 3/4 inch

diameter bolts were installed. The heat exchanger mounting feet

have holes for one inch bolts.

l

The failure tu install CS Heat Exchanger 1B in accordance with

design drawings and site procedures is Violation 327,328/

l

88-29-02, example 1.

l

CS Pump 18 B was generally installed in accordince with design

drawings and site procedures. However, the inspector ider c;fied

that the holes in the mounting bracket of the vendor $Jpplied

pump asserbly had been enlarged (slotted), apparently to aid in

the alignment of the holes with the anchor bolts excedded in the

concrete foundation pad.

been enlarged a minimum of an additional 7/16 inch.

This

minimum dimensio'n is based on measured gaps visible outside the

washer and assuming the bolt is in contact with the bracket on

i

the opposite side (nuts were not removed for the inspection).

TVA staff indicated that they were unable to provide any

documentation to show that this condition had been previously

identified, documented, or evaluated for effect on the seismic

design basis. As a result of this inspection, TVA is performing

new seismic calculations to determine the technical accepta-

bility of the as-installed condition.

CAOR SQN 880392 was

issued by TVA to address this matter.

The failure to properly control the installation and design

changes to CSS Pump 18-8 installed foundation brackets is

Violation 327,328/88-29-03, example 3.

The walkdown discrepancies identified in the structural section

l

of this report involve the as-built configuration of the plant.

Adequate corrective action for violation 327,328/88-29-03 will

i

include retrieval, generation or regeneration of sufficient

system operability determination information necessary to

resolve this issue. In addition, adequate corrective action for

the above mentioned violation shall include a Quality Assurance

Platform Thermal Growth

!

TVA found, in May 1935, that structural and miscellaneous steel were

designed and installed without proper consideration of thermal

1

loading from a postulated DBA (Staff Safety Evaluation Report,

NUREG 1232, Volume 2, on TVA Sequoyah Nuclear Performanco Plan -

.

May 1988).

Subsequently, TVA completed corrective measures which

I

resulted in several structural modifications introducing connections

I

'

with slotted holes to allow thermal expansion.

The staf f reviewed

and approved the TVA corrective actions for Unit 2 restait (see above

i

noted staff SER).

The modifications were comon to both Unit 1 and

However, the inspectors reviewed the thermal growth

t' e containment spray piping and the steel

containment shell.

It was noted during the inspector's field walkdown that several

platforms were attached to the containment spray pipes.

the pipe at the location of the platforms.

These platforms are

acting as pipe supports, (Drcing 482412-1, R1) and they are in turn

supported by the steel shell containment.

Review of shell stress

summary report (SCG-CSG-SS-091, Rev. O,

B25-8S-0227-308) revealed

that no stresses from thermal growth were accounted for at the

location of pipe supports.

Design basis related thermal growth of containment shell will be

reflected in the piping reactions and these reactions are to be

incorporated into shell stress analysis.

This is required by FSAR

Section 3.8.2.3.2. , items 4A and 40.

TVA stated that it is their

belief that the calculation did not include piping rea-tions because

they were considered to be small.

TVA presented several aspects of conservatisms inherent in their

'

shell stress calculation including conservative shell wall thickness

close to where the pipino is supported.

TVA also stated that when

3

they determined that the antribution of piping reactions to shell

j

stresses was considered to be large, such effects were included in

the total stress calculation in the final stress report, thus meeting

the FSAR requirements.

The inspector was

Cable Tray Support

,

Cable tray supports for CS pump motor 6900 V power and control cables

were inspected on a sampling basis. Selected supports were inspected

to the specifications of drawings 48N13'O and 48N1360.

The cable

tray supports supported power and control trays for CS cables in

One potential discrepancy was notad concerning relocated

This

issue appeared to have little safety significance and was

referred to TVA for resolution.

i

This ',ssue was identified as a deficiency and provided for

licensee information.

(2) The inspector reviewed the TVA design of cable tray supports.

Design criteria SQN-DC-V-1.3.4 entitled Category I Cable Tray

Support System, Revision 1, December 22, 1936 (805-861230 501),

included Appendix A "Interim Acceptance Criteria for Reevalua-

tion of Category I Cable Tray Supports".

The purpose of this

appendix is to provide an interim acceptance criteria for the

reevaluation to be completed prior to the restart of the

'

Sequoyah units. A set of calculations SCG1552x1, (Rev. O. B25

860913 825), SCG1547x1 (Rev. O,

825 860913 801), SCG1S47x2

(Pev. 1, B25-861113-818) and SCGIS29x46 (Rev. 1, B25 861113 817)

,

constitutes such a reevaluation.

'

-

As stated in NRC staff safety evaluation, NURE6-1232, Volume 2,

May 1988, several audits have been completed and both interim

criteria and TVA calculational methodology were approved with

TVA's com.mitment that original FSAR criteria for the affected

cable tray supports will be restored in an orderly manner after

2

i

restart.

Interim acceptance criteria for cable tray supports

are less stringent than those in the FSAR.

TVA calculations

were performed on worst case bases.

The SER stated that

regarding the selection methodology, the staff finds that TVA

has used good engineering judgement in its selection of the

worst cases and found the approach used acceptable for restart.

The inspector selected two cable tray supports for review. They

are MK-1B in 48N1337, R 10 and MK-2F in 48N1338R9C.

TVA's

reevaluation calculation of the cable tray supports also

selected MK-1B as a worst case sample (SCG-IS-47x1) even though

it is at a different elevation (drawing 48N1360).

Therefore,

the inspector's review of support MK-1B in 48N1337 constituted a

review of the TVA reevaluation calculation.

No inadequacies

were identified.

Next, the inspectors reviewed support MK-2F to determine if this

support is bounded by the worst case support, MK-1B.

Consideration of the number of cable trays at the support, span

distances to +he next supports, support member sizes, and its

unsupporteu length as prescribed in the TVA worst case selection

rethodology demonstrated that support MK-1B bounds MK-2F. This

issue is closed and the inspe: tors concluded that design of

cable tray supports is adequate for restart.

The radiographic film was reviewed to determine compliance with USAS

B31.7 code in the adequacy of weld quali'.y, weld coverage, film

density, penetrameter size and location, sensitivity, and geometric

unsharpness.

The following discrepancies were identified.

The radiographic data sheets which accompanied the file packet failed

to reference the radiographic procedure used. However, the licensee

was able to reconstruct this information through review of weld data

sheets and determining the time frame the welds were welded and

radiographed.

From the inspection dates the licensee determined the

document applicable to the radiography was G-29 Process Specification

3.M.3.1, Rev. 3, Spe:ification For Radiographic Examination Of Welded

Joints.

As specified in Table 1 of this procedure, in the weld

thickness range of 1/4" through 3/8" a number 7 penetrameter with 2T

sensitivity is required to show on the radiographic film. The review

of the following welds with a nominal wall thickness of .365 and .375

inches revealed a number 10 film side penetrameter was placed on the

material.

numbar 10 penetrameter when a number 7 was specified except they

believed the weld, with reinforcement, was actually thicker than .375

inches.

To determine the actual wall thickness, the inspector

requested an ultrasonic wall thickness of the following welds.

1-CSF-28

Measured minimura wall thickness .372

-

1-CSF-31

Measured minimum wall thickness .246

1-CSF-23

Measured minimum wall thickness .381

-

1-CSF-28A

Measured minimum wall thickness .426

-

1-CSF-29

Measured minimum wall thickness .462

-

As noted above weids 1-CSF-28, 1-CSF-31 were below the .375 wall

thickness and a number 7 penetrameter is required to meet the

requirements specified in USAS B31.7

Table 3.2.2.2 of the FSAR states the code applicable for fabrication,

and nondestructive examinations of TVA Class B piping is 831.7.

The licensee informed the inspector that Code Case 115 was approved

.

and allowed the substitution of ASME Section III requirements for

piping weld.

ASME Section III allows the use of a number 10

penetrameter in the thickness ranges discussed above.

Based on the

applicability of Code Case 115

the penetraneter selection is

,

acceptable.

The licensee performed calculations of the pipe weld to heat

exchanger nozzle weld (CS-1-00-31) with a measured wall thickness of

,

.246 inch thick to determine seismic and pressure / temperature

adequacy.

Ca l cul a +. i on number SCG-4M-00461 determined the weld is

i

seismically adequate.

Calculation number SQN-72-0053 determined a

minimum wall thickness requirement of .151 inch. Therefore the weld

,

thickness is considered adequate. The inspector determined the wall

reduction from the original design nominal wall thickness of .375

inches occurred when grinding was perfortned during fabrication to

remove surface defects found by radiography.

The licensee was

successful

in producing a defect free weld that passed the

radiography examination; however, they failed to consider the minimum

wall thickness requirements.

Quality Control inspection for wall

thickness reduction was not included in the inspection program during

fabrication of the field piping welds.

Failure to comply with the co .mitted to 831.7 weld standard n

implemented by TVA procedure G-29 is violation 327,328/88-29-04

'

example 1.

Adequate corrective action for this violation will

include TVA review to determine if minimum wall design requirements

were met on other field fabricated pipe welds.

In addition to the above radiographic film review, the licensee

re-radiographed the following listed welds for the inspectors review:

84

The inspector's review included a comparison of the original

radiographic film to the new film to determine if the original weld

radiographed matched the weld number shown on the drawing. The new

film was also reviewed for weld quality, and a determination if

intergranular stress corrosion cracking (IGSC) and/or microbiological

intrusion corrosion (MIC) had occurred. No fabrication defects were

observed and no IGSC or MIC were apparent.

c.

Structural Welds

The inspectors reviewed the pipe support calculations for pipe

restraints 1-CSC-15, -47,

-400, -403, -413 and -444, in part to

confirm that the pipe support detail sheets properly indicated weld

si:es wnere required, and that welds were checked to confirm

structural adequacy with respect to the forces imaosed by the

connected members.

The inspectors did not identify any deficiencies

from this review.

,

,

The inspector reviewed a weld calculation of the heat exchanger 1A

4

foundation suppcrts.

The calculation required two 1/4 inch fillet

welds 6 inches long on each side of the web of a f14 X 13 diagonal

member (see SCG IS 180 Rev, 9, B25-88113-801, dated January 3, 1988,

1

which in turn references SCG 15 179, B25-88-0223-310, dated

1

February 22, 1988 - P 118 for 1/4 inch welds). The M4x 13 section is

a newly added member to strengthen the foundation support required by

a recent modification (see CAQR SQP 870 188, 3/1.'87).

This weld

connects the web of the M4x12 to the flange of vercical member of

,

!

8WF35.

The angle between two members is shown to the 56.5 degrees.

The theoretically available maximum length for the fillet weld due to

geometric constraints including 56.5 degree angle between the members

i

as well as TVA's subsequent field as-built measurement indicated that

'

it is not possible to have more than 4 inches of weld. TVA admitted

.

that 6 inch length in the calculation does not reflect field

measurement and a CAQR is being issued reflecting the error in the

'

j

calculation.

TVA has initiated a modification to the calculation

with the purpose of showing that the current as-built weld of

'

approximately 4 inches of weld continues to be adequate to satisfy

4

design requirements committed to in the FSAR.

i

The issue will remain open subject to a review of the calculation.

TVA has determined that this issue is to be resolved prior to restart

of Unit 1.

TVA indicated that revised calculations would include

'

evaluation of calculational conservatism as well as conservatism in

-

I

the value for the weld allowable stress,

in addition, an entire weld

.

calculation of the heat exchanger foundation supports is being

l

re-evaluated for a complete accuracy check.

It should be noted that

l

a previous IDI report (NRC Inspection Report 50-327-S3-13, May 26,

1928) noted several calculational errors and Rev. 3, of SC GIS 179

Operational and Experience Review Issues

The following areas were reviewed to determine if systemic operational or

experience review issues existed.

a.

Restart Test Program (RTP)

The inspector reviewed the Unit 2 CS system Restart Test Program

(RTP) test matrix and compared the matrix to the Unit No. 1 CS system

functions.

The inspector also compared the general Unit 1 program

against the Unit 2 completed program. The inspection objectives for

the CS along with the inspector's finding are provided below.

(1) Unit No. 1 CS Restart Test Program Review

The objectives of this inspection were as follows:

To verify that the Restart Test Group (RTG) functional

review process in being adequately implemented.

To verify that component / system functions that are

identified as requiring testing are properly dispositioned.

To provide a sample assessment of the technical adequacy of

several portions of previously completed preoperational

tests that are being used to satisfy the functional testing

requirements.

To provide a sample assessment of the correctness of the

FSAR as it related to system functional requirements.

The inspectors reviewed the identificd system package to

verify compliance to the specified program.

Specifically,

the following items were addressed during this review:

Verify that the functional analysis report (FAR) matrix

package complied with the following documents as applicable

and contained the necessary information:

Function Review Process - Unit 1 (SIL-6)

Function and Punchlist Tracking - Unit 1 (SIL-7)

Test Analysis Report - Unit 1 (SIL-8)

Function Analysis Report - Unit 1 (SIL-9)

RTP Interface Report - Unit 1 (SIL-9A)

RTG Generated Testing Implementation Unit 1 (SIL-10)

RTG Closure Reports - Unit 1 (SIL-11)

Review ( 10-20*.) Division of Nuclear Engineering (DNE)

documents to Restart Test Engineer (RTE) which list

component / system functions and verify that the functions

were listed on the functional review matrix (FRM).

Determine

if

RTE

has

identified

any ' additional

component / system fun-tions as a result of the reviews and

ascertain the reason the functions were not listed by DNE.

Verify that any additional functions identified during the

review were listed on the Punchlist and determine if they

were properly identified to DNE and if the item resulted in

a Conditica Adverse to Quality Report (CAQR).

Discuss with RTE their background experience and verify

'

qualifications, documented training, and required reading

are in accordance with SIL-1.

Review the FAR, including the punchlist report and FRM to

verify that the above documents are in agreement as to

number of identified retests / tests to be performed, the

disposition of punchlist items, and the resolution of

f

identified interface items. Additionally, the conclusions

reached by the RTE should be evaluated and discussed with

the RTE. The following points should be considered when

perforraing the above review:

(a)

If the function has never been tested:

is testing

planned; what type of function

(i.e.,

control,

indication, safety, etc.); will a special test be

written or will the existing SI be modified?

If a

safety

function

is

involved, was existing SI

inadequate? Was CAQR issued?

( .-)

If function was last tested during preoperational

testing, should it be included in an existing SI as a

requirement or an enhancement, added to a preventive

,

maint3 nance program or ISI program, etc.?

(c) Are TS, FSAR, and/or design criteria document changes

necessary? What method has TVA used to identify / track

these changes?

Evaluate the supervisory and JTG review and approval of the

'

system package

Verify that the FRM reflects the functions listed in the

applicable FSAR and TS section.

process and the FAR indicated that DNE concurred with the

I

RTE that the functions were neither normal nor safety

(

functions for the system.

..

Subsequent discussion indicated that the ability of the

,

local switches to open the valves in riuestion was verified

during preoperational

testing.

Howev6r,

the closing

'

function of these local switches 'was not verified.

The

l

licensee indicated that the JTG had advised the RTE that as

!

i

long as the specified function did not reqvire additional

testing DNE agreed that the local switches d'd not provide

,

any safety or normal control function and we e installed

>

for maintenance purposes only. Given that the switches are

!

located in an area that would be inaccessible during an

accident condition, the inspector agreed with ths licensee

position that this function would be outside the intended

scope of the RTP.

Functions72-002 and /2-017 require that the CS pumps

deliver 4750 GPM with a discharge head of 143 psid.

For

Unit No. 2, RTG had determi md that during preoperational

testing the' vendor pump csr es had not been properly

validated and required in STI-65 that a three point flow

test be performed.

However, for Unit 1,

the licensee

.

indicated that the function would be validated by 51-37.1 &

i

37.2 for the 1A-A & IB-B pumps respectively. These two sis

!

only

require a single point verification of pump

'

performance as required by ASME Section XI.

The inspector

questioned the acceptability of validating pump performance

j

with a single point test when the licensee's preoperational

test for pump performance was never satisfied.

l

The licensee was requested to justify the adequacy of a

I

single point test to validate this function for the IA-A &

[

1B-B pumps.

j

f

Functions72-003 and 72-018 specify CS heat exchangers IA &

t

1B differential pressure (DP) as 10 psid.

The inspector

determined that the 10 osid specified was in error because

the results of recent CS flow calculations for both Unit 1

}

and Unit 2, which were performed to verify the adequacy of

l

the r odified system to deliver the required 4750 GFM,

The inspecto-

requested that TVA determine if the FAR

functions were inc6rrectly stated and if so detarmine if

-

the FRM should be modified to accurately reflec' i maximum

of 6 psid.

Additionally, the FAR should be changed to

L.

Comparison of Unit 3 RTP to the Unit 2 Completed Program

The' purpose of this comparison was to determine the adequacy of the

modifi 4 Unit 1 RTP as contrasted to the Unit 2 program that was

accepte; by the NRC and cocumented in NUREG-1232 Volume 2, Safety

!

Evaluation Report of TVA Sequoyah Nuclear Performance Plan.

The RTP for Unit ; wat essentially the same as that for Unit 2 and

the evaluation and conclusions discussed in the SER mentioned above

I

are considtred valid for both ; nits.

However, the Unit 1 program

scope was reduced from that used for Unit 2 based on lessons learned,

and as a result of modifications to other Unit 1 programs that we.'e

l

inputs to the RTP.

These differences along with th9 inspector

'

comments are provided below:

Once the design functions W2re established, the revicw of the

impact cf previous modifications was performed by :he RTE

'

utilizing SIL-98 to generate the modification review report.

,

This was different from the Unit 2 program which utilized the

DBVP output for the list of modifications which may ef fect the

system.

The inspector identified a possible weakness with this approach

specifically, the Unit 2 program had also used red iine drawings

-

to depict the as constructed

,ystem at the timo the

l

preoperational tests wtre performed. Combining the DSVP output

(i.e., mocs since time of licensing) with the red line drawings,

i

the Unit 2 program evaluated the tdeqtacy of post modification

testing of

all

modifications

subsequent

to

successful

l

preoperational testing.

In comparison, the Unit 1 program which

did net include the red line drawing process created a gap

'

involving the adeauacy of cost modification testing between the

time the preoperational test was per formed and the time of

R

issuance of the operating licensing (OL).

'

The above mentioned problem only affected those functions where

.

'

the licensee was taking creuit for preoperational tests to

validate adequate testing of the specified function.

Subsequent to the inspector's identification of this problem,

the licensee determined that 274 modifications fell into the

post preoperational testing and pre OL category. Of these, 190

modifications were reviewed as part of the modifications review

for Unit 1 and 16 were Unit 2 only which left 68 modificationa

to.be reviewed. Two of the 68 modification were determined to

have a potential impact on previously tested equipment and both

of these modifications were determined to be adequately tested

and had no impact on the function involved.

The Unit 2 program requirement to review the results of the post

maintenance test survey was not included in the Unit 1 program.

This decision was based on lessons . learned from the Unit 2

program which indicated that approximately 6% of the MR reviewed

Indicated either a lack of acequate test documentation or a lack

e f adequate testing.

Additionally, the post maintenance test

survey was not conducted for Unit 1 as part of D8VP; therefore,

the RTP could not use it as an input to their process.

The inspector was provided with a copy of memo (RIM S16 880624

890) dated June 24, 1988, from the RTP manager to the JTG which

provided statistics from the Unit 2 ef fort and provided the

basis for not including it in the Unit 1 program. Additionally,

the inspector was informed that the additional testing controls,

put in place at the station as a result of the Unit 2

maintenance program upgrade should also reduce the impact of

possible inadequate post maintenance testing on the validity of

previc'Js functional test.

T!

Unit 2 requirement to review the impact of the piece parts

review was also deleted from the Unit 1 program. The licensee

previded the inspector a copy of a February 10, 1988 letter to

the NRC (RIM L44 880210 800) which indicated that based on the

Unit 2 program lessons learned the scope of the Unit 1 piece

parts program would be reduced. The letter indicated that less

than four hundredths of one percent (5 of 13,000) of the

reviewed parts required change out.

T h e .", < , based on the above statistic, did not identify a need

to review the output of the piece part program far impact on

functional test validation. Additionally as stated above the

licensee feels that the improved naintenance program would

ensure that any part replaced as a result of the piece parts

review would be adequately tested.

As

stated earlier based

on

the

above minoi

program

implementation changes, the esalvation and conclusio.- for the

Unit 2 program as stated in the SER appear to generally bound

the Unit 1 program.

With the exception of tne three point pump test, the RTP appears to

be adequately implemented.

c.

Quality Assurance (QA) audit or surveillance items which may be

applicable to Unit 1

During this inspection the licensee was requested to provide the

results of ary quality assurance audits or surveillances which had

been conducted on the CS System. Discussions with licensee personnel

concerning this subject revealed that no audits or surveillances had

been conducted specifically on the CS system.

Audits are conducted

to verify programmatic controls and surveillances are conducted on

specific site activities.

Further discussion indicated that, if

deficiencies on the CS system hao been icentified by other

programmatic audits or activity surveillances, the results would be

available on the TROI computer tracking system which was reviewed by

the inspector. As a result of the above, the licensee was requested

to provide the results of any audits concerning operational readiness

conducted prior to the restart of Unit 2.

The licensee provided the

audits and the inspector reviewed them for proper corrective action

and closecut (as apprcpriate). The following audits were included in

this review:

Employee Concerns CATO items which art specifically applicable to the

Unit 1 or Uni; 2 CS systeas

The inspector reviewed issues which had been presented to the New

Employee Concerns program for sigd ficant items applicable to tFe

containment spray system.

The liew Employee Concerns program was

formed on February 1,1986, in order to resolve problems identified

after that date.

The licensee was requested to identify any ECP issues which could

af fect the CS system. One case, ECP-87-SQ-510-09, was identified as

' he report for this open case

being relevant to containment spray.

,

was to supercede ECP report ECP-S6-50-253-01 and provice a revised

response to NRC allegation RII-84-A-OlS7, which involved the adequacy

and implementation of procedures concerning heat number valication on

structural raterial.

The original licensee investigation had

'

concluded that the concern in ECP-86-SQ-253-01 was unsubstantia ted,

i

but this conclusion was later invalidated and the case reopened. The

!

reinvestigation reviewed the heat number validation program for the

time period from 1977 through 1984 as well as the information from

'

L

previous investigations.

<

The ECP-87-SQ-510-09 investigation identified 31 receipt inspection

i

data cards for QA Level I structural steel on which material

i

inspectors certified that the inspection was accomplished according

!

to procedure when it had not been.

In addition, ECP identified a

<'

number of violations of heat number validation procedures, including

y

a seven year period of routinely verifying heat numbers by using an

j

indexed listing which was unauthorized and contrary to procedures.

Use of the incexing listing has been evaluated for impact on the

quality of pressure boundary construction but not for structural

i

,

construction.

,

The inspector reviewed a draf t of the ECP report, and a TVA letts

l

dated May 27, 198b, from the Site Quality Manager to the Site

i

Director in response to the ECP report draft.

This letter stated

I

i

that the ECP report brought into question the adequacy of the

material controls for the structural steel installed at Sequoyah

!

during construction.

The letter also outlined a proposed plan of

action to assure the required traceabili'y.

The planned course of

'

action had not been finalized at the time of the inspection,

All information obtained during the inspection regarding this

,

!

Empicyoe Concern will be forwarded to the Allegation Coordinator, NRC

(

resolution of heat code traceability issues.

-

i'

The inspector also reviewed the listing of all safety significant

employee concerns and open files, and identified approximately thirty

I

!

additional cases involving general issues which could possibly affect

f

containment spray.

The licensee provided the inspector with a

summary of the resolution or the status of each of these cases. With

one exception, the cases identified by the inspector had either been

i

i

unsubstantiated, were restricted to systems other than the Unit 1 CS,

j

had not at Tected equipment operability, or were being addressed

l

'

programmatically and adequately resolved.

l

ECP-SS-SQ-658, concerning wall thickness on inaccessible tubing,

appeared to have possible relevance to containment spray.

This

concern resulted from an allegation nade at Bellefonte that Sequoyah

i

E

may not have adequately handled a nonconformance identified at

Bellefonte. The issue identified that Sequoyah had a problem with a

,

failure to verify wall thickness on inaccessible tubing as identified

j

on BLN NCR 4658.

In response to *he inspector's request to evaluate

!

!

the concern for possiele applicability to Unit 1 CS, the licensee

{

l

determined that the issue was being adcressed through PIR SQNCEBS74

i

!

and that corrective action arid closure will he a post restart item

for both enits. The PIR does affect the Containment Spray System, in

'

that tube steel was used in t.he support; for that system.

The

maximum decrease in tube steel wall thickness identified in this PIR

>

is 6.2% less than required.

CEB-C1 21.82 permits a 20f. increase in

>

allowable stress in determining restart status.

Since the area of

.

steel increases linearly with the wall thickness, and the rection

modulus could increase with the square of the wall thickness the

worst case would be (1.062)2=.88, or a 12% reduction in section

modulus. Therefore, under the maximum design stress conditions, the

i

tube steel would qualify for restart.

Maintenance History and Trending

In

response

to violations identified in Inspection Reports

327,328/85-15 and 327,328/86-37, TVA implemented in

1986

a

!

maintenance history and trending program intended to improve the

l

timeliness and effectiveness of corrective actions for equipment

failures and out-of-tolerance conditions. As described below, the

maintenance history and trending consisted of an "Operability

Lookback" at pre-1986 issues, and an ongoing program consisting of

several computer data-bases. The inspector reviewed portions of the

!

history and trending for components in the CS system to identify

l

possible equipment operability issues and to assess the effectiveness

j

of the licensee program.

Within this area of inspection, no vic.lations or deviations were

i

identified.

Effective use of histo,; cal maintenance records to

,

identify and resrive recurring problems had been made by the licensee

I

on several occasions.

In the future, as more information is added to

3

the data bases for periods of plant operation, and the presently

i

planned refinements have been fully incorporated, the tracking and

trending program should prove more useful.

(1) Operability Lookback Review

l

To aid in identifying potential operabi tity questions resulting

,

from past undetected repetitive failures.

the

licensee

l

"Operability Lookback" review was conducted to identify and

evaluate equipment problems which occurred prior to the

initiation of the tracking and trending program in 1986.

The

objectives of the lookback program included the identification

of adverse conditions associated with equipment operability, the

evaluation of these conditions for significance with respect to

safety, documentation of the existence and effectiveness cf

corrective actions, and the proposal of additional or modified

corrective actions.

The Operability Lookback utili:ed data

obtained from PRDs from both Sequoyah units, and interviews with

senior

plant

employees.

The

review

process

evaluated

operability issues involving generic equipment groups, as well

as problems with specific individual components.

The inspector reviewed each PRO evaluation from the CS system

"

portion of the Operability Lookback. The Operability Lookback

review had identified eleven significant component failures in

'

containment spray. Of these, the following were classified by

the licensee as isolated cases:

The 18-B containment spray pump failed to manually start

-

because the breaker locking lever was not adequately

lubricated. The PRO evaluation included a review of prior

work requests ( A529411, A38689, A232/41, A157697) and

concluded that there was no evidence of repetitive failures

for the same root cause.

In response to this finding, a

recommendation was made to revise maintenance instruction

(MI-10.4) to require lubrication of breaker locking levers.

The inspector confirmed that this procedure modification

had been made.

Containment Spray pump 2B-B failed a surveillance test

-

because the timer was out of tolerance.

,

!

Containment spray pump 2A-A was declared inoperable due to

-

i

a failure of undervoltage relay BCTA-72-27. The PRO review

i

noted that there had been a similar previous undervoltage

relay f ailure on DG 1A, but the two f ailures were not

'

i

considered to represent a trend

1

Check valve 72-525 failed 51-166.45 twice. Because the SI

-

was run every 92 days and the valve enly failed twice, the

4

i

PRO concluded that the problem was not significant,

u..]

additional corrective action was not recammended.

i

Check valves 72-506 and 507 failed a sureatllance test

-

because the valve internals had not been repisced af ter

flushing the system.

Flow transmitter 2-FT-72-13 failed upscale due to air being

[

-

trapped ir. the sense lines. The PRO evaluation documented

'

that another failure of this flow transmitter had occurred

on 4/11/83 due to a failed power supply.

.

Containment spray mini-flow valve w;uld not open due to a

-

Buchanan plug coming loose on the control room handswitch.

The following issue was also identified in the lockback review:

Possible deterioration of the containment spray heat

-

exchanger tubing could go unnoticed.

The recommended

corrective action was to perform eddy current testing of

i

the heat exchanger during every cutage. The PRO evaluation

package, dated 1/27/S7, states that this eddy current

testing had been performed at least once since 1979. The

.

inspector verified through discussions with the licensee

that the eddy current testing had been performed during

subsequent outages.

The following CS issues had been incorporated into the

Operability Iookback generic equipment concern packages for

Arrow Hart and Limitorque:

Flow Control valve 1-FCV-72-24 failed to open due to dirty

-

breaker contacts (Arrow Hart).

Failure of BCTO-072-2A ( Arrow Hart).

'

-

1-FCV-72-20 failed to open due to loose bolts on the torque

-

switch (Limitorque). The PRO review generic package for

this issue included one additional example of a valve which

failed to stroke due to loose bolts.

The generic PRO review package for Arrow Hart contactors

included at least eight PR0s addressing failures of these

components. The generic review, dated 3/13/87, stated that

problems with the contactors had occurred since early plant

operation, and a corrective uaintenance plan had been documented

in LER 84014 R1,

After implementation of this corrective

maintenance plan, additional failures occurred due to dirty

e

contacts and dirt in the lubrication.

DNE and Electrical

Maintenance then determined that the lubrication appeared to

create problems which negated the benefits. Laboratory testing

j

was performed which showed that unlubricated contacts performed

reliably for five times the number of cycles expected during the

j

40 year life of the plant. As a resuit, the lubrication was

removed, and M1-10.40 was revised to require inspection of the

'

breaker contacts. The inspector discussed the current status of

this issue with Electrical Maintenance p e r s o,",e l , and the

proble.n appeared to have been resolved.

The inspector observed that once the Operability Lookback issues

had been identified through a search of the PR0s, the PRO

reviews made effective use of available maintenance tracking and

,

trending data records when evaluating tbs issues for repetitive

or generic failures. However, the a sessma its appeared to focus

primarily on f ailures of a particular cr fonent having the same

root cause, and the review could therefore have failed to fully

identify the significance of repetitive failures due to

different causes.

Frequent failures of a particular type of

component for different reasons or due to failures of different

subcomponents could indicate the need to increase the testing

frequency for that component,

In addition, because the Operability Lookback was baseo

primarily on a resiew of existing FR0s, the potential existed

i

for repetitive failures apparent from WR records not to be

identified. The inspector performed a cursory review of the WRs

issued during the tcNJ of the lookback study, and noted

possible patterns which were not picked up by the Operability

lookback.

In particular, an unusually large number of WRs were

observed for the flow transmitters and flow indication

instrumentation, including calibration and other problems. This

was not reflected in the Operability Lookback.

However,

previcus trends, if they continue and are of significance, are

expectea to be identified by the new ongoing tracking and

trending program.

,

This issue was identified as a deficiency and provided for

licensee information.

Inspection Report 327,328/87-24 identified that the findings of

,

the Operability Lookback program were being tracked to

'

completion but were not being directly factored into the new

tracking and trending program data base.

The licensee had

,

responded that the operability lookback issue summary packages

would be made readily available for utilization by those groups

i

i

reviewing the trending and tracking data for repetitive

instrument deficiencies. The inspector noted that although the

Operability Lookback equipment failu'e issues were not directly

l

factored into the new program, those issues addressed in WRs

'

were included in the maintenance history records and thus

available for incorporation in future trending reviews.

In conjunction with the review of the new mainterance history

and trending program, the inspector reviewed the history and

(

trending records for subsequent f ailures of selected comnonents

flagged in the operability lockback review.

The resul6s are

[

documented below.

f

(2) Maintenance History and Trending Program

ANS 3.2/ ANSI NIS.7, Section 4.1.4 requires that a program be

[

established which detects trer.ds in activities affecting plant

r

safety which may not be apparent to the day-to-day observer.

l

Procedural requirements for trending the required information

obtained from WRs. special reports, and out-of-calibration

reports are specified in SQM-58, "Maintenance History and

Trending".

The inspector reviewed Revision 6 of the procedure.

The Maintenece History and Treeding program documented in

SQM-58 was implemented to satisfy le ANSI requiremr.ts by

providing cyprehensive raintenance n' story reccrds for major

plant co.tponen a , in a readily retries.ble format useful for

detecting failure trends.

components, and 3) Other components (including CSSC) falling

outside of the other two categories.

Maintanance history information is tracked in three data bases

'

from which it can be trended:

(a) NPROS: Program Procedure 1601.02 documents that ANSI NI8.7

!

history and trendir.g requirements will be satisfied through

use of the NPRDS program.

The NPRDS program, managed by

.-

INP0, provides maintenance

trending

and reliability

information which is both specific to Sequoyah and commor.

l

'

to the industry.

The components tracked by NPRDS ne

prescribed by

the

program description.

Semi-annual

4

trending reports are prepared based on this data base, each

covering a twelve month period so that all significant data

.

will be included.

The trending analysis incorporates

l

criteria for identifying both repetitive and generic

component failures.

(b) EQls:

Program Procedure 1601.02 documents that 10 CFR

[

50.49 tracking requirements will be satisfied through the

use of the EQIS data base.

EQIS is used to store NPRDS

L

,

reportable activities, Class IE and 50.49 failures, and

certain other failures documented on WRs. The data entered

!

into EQIS is primarily failure related.

EQIS was

5plemented in January 1986

'nd contains information

,

processed after that date.

The 1E and 50.49 components are trended annually with EQIS

.

using the same criteria as for the NPRDS data.

CSSC

!

'

'

components which are non-NPRDS and non-1E/50.49 are also

trended annually using EQIS. The capability exists to use

t

EQIS to trend the NPRDS components but this is not

i

'

routinaly done.

EQIS trending is also required whenever a component failure

results in a reactor trip, turbine trip, load reduction, or

,

LER. Each time a work request is entered, the data base is

!

reviewed for similar failures of that component and

f

cumponents with three or more failures are flagged for

further review.

(c) Maintenance History:

The Maintenance History data base

l

contains records of all maintenance activities requiring

i

documentation fJr tracking, both failures and non-failures,

,

Thi: data bire can be sorted and trended using the SEEK

!

program to obtain comprehensive maintenance records for

,

particular components, but the program is not designed for

t

routine use for identifying repetitive failure trends.

The threshold criteria which indicate a rapetitive or generic

failu.e are specified in SQM-58 as:

1) Any component failing

two or more times in 12 months, 2) Any component model number

with failures or more than 3'

of the . omponents during 12

.

months, and 3) Any item of the same function made by the same

manufacturer with 5'4 f ailur es in 12 months.

SQM-58 requires

that when repetitive or generic component failure trends are

identified, an evaluation be performed in accordance with the

appropriate attachments to the procedure.

The inspector reviewed selected WRs to independently identify

issues relevant to equipment operability, and to assess how

effectively these issues were being evaluated and trended by the

licensee. The licensee was requested to provide a list of all

WRs issued on the Unit 1 CS system since 1985 (the approximate

time period applicable to EQIS entries), including those WRs

which were either active or completed but in the review process.

From the list which was provided, the inspector reviewed those

WRs listed below for generic issues which affected equip ent

cperability and could indicate design problems, a need for

increased preventive maintenance, er a need for an increosa in

surveillance testing frequency. For purposes of the inspector's

review, an equipment failure was defined as any condition which

could prevent the equipment from performing its intended

function. This included out of calibration conditions. When it

was not apparent from the WR whather or not the equipment was

actually found out of tolerance during a calibration, the IM

calibration cards were consulted.

In some cases the available

information

was

The above information was not considered by the inspector to

indicate any generic equipment problems.

To assess whether component failures were reliably being entered

into the EQIS and NPROS data bases, the Unit 1 EQIS data base

was searched for records of those WRs considered by the

inspector to constitute component failures.

A number of the

above WRs had either been filed prior to the inceptie~ of EQIS,

or had not completed the review process at the time of the

inspection. The remaining component failures identified from

the WRs by the inspector were all properly identified in EQIS

,

and reported to NPROS when required.

The licensee had also

l

implemented an independent engineering review of the component

failure designations for added assurance that all applicable

data would be tracked and trended as required, and be properly

classified.

The licensee identified to the inspector that CAQR CHS 88001 had

been written to address the fact that a number of data entries

had been accidently deleted from the E015 data base and actions

were being taken to restore the information to the records.

This loss of data did not af fect the trending commitments with

respect to data being trended through NPRDS, but potentially

affected the trending of 50.49 components with EQIS.

Licensee

corrective action for this problem was ongoing at the time of

the inspection, and appeared to be adequas?.

The inspector noted that PRO 1-86-076, dated 4/8/S6,

-

identified that 1-FM-72-13A and 1-FM-72-13B were found to

_

_ --

_

104

be out of tolerance. The EQIS data base did not contain a

failure entry for the associated work request, B11S633.

The inspector briefly reviewed with the licensee the evaluations

of repetitive or generic failures identified in the annual EQIS

reviews for IE/50.49 components.

No issues were identified as

applicable to the CS system.

NPRDS failure reports identified only one potential generic or

repetitive failure pertaining to the CS system.

The report for

the period from July 19S5 through June 1956, prepared by the TVA

!

Performance and Analysis Section, identified multiple problems

!

involving Kerostat valves similar to FCV-72-34.

The inspector

reviewed the licensee evaluation of this issue, which concluded

that the failures were due to unrelated causes (dirt in the

system, broken stem coupling, worn bearings, scratched end

seat).

No further corrective action was recommended.

The inspector reviewed four additional review and evaluation

packages for generic or repetitive equipment failures identified

through the trending programs for systems other than containment

spray.

The packages which were reviewed addressed generic

problems

with

Quincy

Air

Start

Compressors,

Foxboro

transmit *,ers, and Asco pressure switches. Each of these reviews

,

l

were considered by the inspector to be thorough and

'

comprehensive, and produced meaningful and significant results

and recommendations.

The inspector noted that some of the reviews of repetitive

failures (primarily those in the Operability Lookback review)

l

appeared to focus primarily on root c.use determination, and

possibly deemphasized the importance of repetitive failures from

'

different causes. Numerous repetitive failures resulting from

different root causes could indicate a need for an increased

,

testing frequency.

Licensee plans

included more

fully

l

implementing this type of review in the future as the data base

'

is expanded.

The inspector noticed in the review of +5e EQIS records that no

CS pump failures were logged, although failures of subcomponents

were logged which could have affected the operability of the CS

pumps.

The licensee follows the NPRDS guidelines concerning

which components are to be tracked and where the failures should

be entered.

Effe:tive trending of failures of eajor components

due to different root causes must be accomplished by trending

the major component together with all applicable subcomponents.

The pump curve deficiency,

i

however, was never properly resolved.

The licensee resolved

i

this tr. sue for Unit 2 startup by performing STI-65.

STI-65

!

required that a three point flow test be performed so that the

i

manufacture's curve could be validated. However, for Unit 1 the

!

licensee indicated that SI 37.1 and 37.2 would be performed to

[

verify proper pump performance.

[

t

The inspector's review of SI 37.1 and 37.2 indicated that only

!

one flow data point was being verif ted at the required flow of

I

4750 GpM. This issue was previously discussed in section 8.a of

i.

Industry Nuclear Experience Review (NER)

issues specifically

applicable to the Unit 1 or Unit 2 CS systems (Note:

this included

SER, 50ER, IEB, IEN, NSRS, NMRG, and NSRB items from August 1935 to

present)

Other items concerning industry nuclear operating experience issues

with the Containment Spray System were reviewed by the inspector

(NERs, SERs and IEBs). The following items were included in this

review:

NER 88-0250

NER 88-0196

NER 87-0683

l

NER 870464002

l

NER 850314001

l

SER 30-84

l

IEN 84-39

,

'

The corrective actions for inree of these items was determined to be

weak or nonexistent:

corrective action for NER 850314001 which

concerned inadvertent actuations of the contaiament spray system at

various other utilities did not indicate that a thorough review of

instrumentation / controls, procedures and personnel training had been

conducted.

No documentation of corrective actions was previded by

the licensee for SER 30-34 (Inadvertent Actuation or containment

spray at another utility),

nor IE Notice 64-39 (Inadvertent

Isolations of Conta*nment Spray Systems at cther utilities).

Training of Licensed Operators and Aux liary Unit Operators Which are

Specifically Applicable to the Unit 1 or Unit 2 CS Systems

,

!

As part of this inspection the inspector requested and reviewed Power

j

Operations Training Center (POTC) course outlines / lesson plans

associat'sd with the CSS. A review of these lesson plans to determine

the detail and type of questions prov ided during this training for

both AVO and licensee operators was pteformed and is discussed below:

Course outline OPN 017.027 (PWR), Student III, Step 1B - Reactor

Technology (SON-WBN) which is taught to AV0s during the course

of their training prior to being assigned to an operating plant.

This course has an 8 hour9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br /> duration and contained basic system

function description.

Course outline OPN 218.067, Student III, Step II - Containment

Spray (system 72) which is taught to AVO during the last part of

their training phase was revi+wed. This course, listed as an 8

hour program, provided a bash system function description as

well as providing system operating information.

Course outline OPL271C024, SQN Operator Certification Training -

Containment Systems, which is taught to licensed operators

during a part of their qualification and requalification

t 'aining, was also reviewed.

Thi s instruction also provided

basic system description and operating instruction.

Based on a review of the above lesson plans the inspector provided

the following observation:

None of the above three lesson plans discussed the interlocks

associated with this system.

These interlocks involving are

very important to proper system operation.

This observation was discussed with the POTC PWR training

manager who indicated that a training letter discussing these

interlocks would be issued within seven dtys #ollowed by a

revision to the above training plans during the next scheduled

update.

This is a coreitment which the licensee agreed to at

the exit meeting conducted on July 8,19SS.

In addition to the above, the inspector reviewed past training

records to determine if students demonstrated any generic weakness on

the CSS.

Additionally, the inspector reviewed approximately 20

student feed back forms required by Procedure SQ-0TIL-14 in an

attempt to identify any stucent suggestions to inprove the training

on the CSS.

No problems associated with these reviews were

identified.
