EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Wolf Creek Generating Station

NRC Inspection Report 50-482/98-19

Operations

. The clearance order established for the inspection and lubrication of the fuel building

emergency exhaust absorber unit toinado damper was inadequate and was a violation

of Technical Specification 6.8.1. The clearance order did not provide isolation from all

sources of high volumetric air flow and did not include special conditions or precautions

on the clearance order summary sheet, as was required if positive boundaries were not

established. This nonrepetitive, licensee-identified and corrected violation is being

treated as a noncited violation, consistent with Section Vll.B.1 of the NRC Enforcement

Policy (Section 04.1).

Maintenance

. In violation of 10 CFR Part 50. Appendix B, Criterion XI, the procedure for testing the

spent fuel bridge crane was inadequate from September 1986 until October 1997 in that

it failed to account for the weight of the scale during checks of the overload cutout

setpoint as required. As a result, the licensee failed to demonstrate operability of the

spent fuel bridge crane. The licensee revised and successfujiy performed the

procedure. This nonrepetitive, licensee-identified and corrected violation is being

treated as a noncited violation, consistent with Section Vll.B.1 of the NRC Enforcement

Policy (Section M8.1).

Enoineerina

. Substantial effort by the engeeering organization resulted in sustained improved i

'

performance of the turbine-druen auxiliary feedwater pump. At the end of September

1998, the accumulated rolling 18-month unavailability for the turbine-driven auxiliary

feedwater pump was approximately 100 hours0.00116 days <br />0.0278 hours <br />1.653439e-4 weeks <br />3.805e-5 months <br />, substantially less than the goal of

200 hours0.00231 days <br />0.0556 hours <br />3.306878e-4 weeks <br />7.61e-5 months <br /> (Section E2.1). l

. The licensee's corrective actions were appropriate to assure that the diesel-driven fire

pump starting circuit relays were placed in the preventive maintenance program for the  !

diesel-driven fire pump (Section E8.1).

- Overall, the licensee's response to road closures due to flooding was excellent. The

licensee maintained contact with offsite agencies and provided timely updates to 1

necessary personnel. The licensee ensured that all emergency response organization

requirements would be met if needed and provided updated road closure information to

emergency response managers. The road closure information was also posted in the

technical information center and the emergency offsite facility (Section P4.1).

!

a. IrLspection Scope (71707)  :

!

The inspector reviewed the clearance order used to provide isolation for the inspection  !

and lubrication of the fuel building emergency exhaust absorber unit tornado damper. j

b. Observations and Findinas l

l

On October 15,1998, the inspector observed maintenance technicians attempt to  !

inspect Tornado Damper GGD-0035, using Work Order 97-126469-001. Clearance  !

Order 98-0994-GG established the isolation for the work. The ventilation duct and i

damper were located in the overhead on the 2047 foot level of the auxiliary building

inside the radiological controlled area.  ;

i

The maintenance technicians encountered a very high air flow when they initially opened i

the access cover in the ventilation duct in order to inspect the damper. The technicians, {

who were briefed to expect essentially zero flow, immediately closed the access. After

checking a second time to ensure that the isolation indicated on the clearance order was  ;

in place, the maintenance technicians held discussions with the job coverage health  ;

physics technician and with their supervisor. The decision was made to open the ,

access cover a second time to see if the high air flow would decrease.  !

The technicians opened the access cover again and waited momentarily. The high air ,

flow did not decrease and the technicians closed the access cover because the air flow  :

i

was transporting lint and dust particulates out of the ventilation duct at such a high rate

that it was hazardous to be on the scaffolding. Additionally, the health physics  ;

technician noted that the high air flow had blown a considerable amount of dust onto the

floor and onto the personnelin the area. Since this area had previously been a

contaminated area, there was a concern that the air flow could have redistributed

unidentified surface contamination from the overhead to the floor area. The inspector

noted that no surface contamination was detected and all persons in the area

successfully passed through a portal monitor. Due to the hazard presented to personnel

and the increased risk of spreading contamination, maintenance and health physics

supervision placed the job on hold until the flow of air could be stopped.

.The inspector returned to the work control center with the maintenance technicians to

determine why a high flow rate was encountered when almost zero flow was expected

by the technicians. The inspector noted that work control center personnel had no

immediate explanation for the unexpected flow in the work area. Additionally, the

inspector observed that personnel in the work control center did not appear to recognize ,

or express concern that the isolation established by the clearance order for the work l

was inadequate. The inspector discussed this with the shift supervisor. This issue was

documented in Performance improvement Request 98-3106.

The inspector then reviewed licensee Procedure AP 21E-001," Clearance Orders,"

Revision 7, to determine if the clearance order established for the damper inspection

met the clearance order program requirements. The inspector noted that

paragraph 4.6.1 of Procedure AP 21E-001, requires that " Danger-Do Not

Operate (DNO) tags should be installed on the control points and all boundary points to ,

isolate equipment from all sources of energy for the protection of personnel and i

equipment." Additionally, paragraph 6.1.2.1 states that a " qualified preparer will identify

energy sources and determine isolation points. When positive boundaries are not l

practical, the clearance order shall not be issued without adding special )

conditions / precautions on the attache d clearance order summary sheet." i

Paragraph 6.1.2.3 adds additional guidance by stating that "when it is necessary to I

communicate information of a technical nature or safety concern to ensure safe and

proper implementation of the clearance order, then the clearance order summary sheet,

Form AP 21E-001-11, shall be utilized and attached."

l

l

'

The inspector observed that Clearance Order 98-0994-GG did not provide isolation from

all sources of high volumetric air flow to the ventilation duct at the fuel building

. emergency exhaust absorber unit tornado Damper GGD-0035. Further, the clearance

order did not include special conditions or precautions in the summary sheet section as

was required by paragraph 6.1.2.3.

Technical Specification 6.8.1 required, in part, that procedures shall be implemented

covering the activities referenced in Appendix A of Regulatory Guide 1.33, Revision 2. l

Regulatory Guide 1.33, Appendix A,1.c, references procedures for equipment control

(e.g., locking and tagging). Failure to properly implement Procedure AP 21E-001 was a

violation.

A previous occurrence of clearance orders that did not provide adequate isolation was

identified in NRC Inspection Report 50-482/98-10, and resulted in a notice of violation

(50-482/9813-01) for clearance orders that did not provide complete isolation of the

component from all energy sources. In the previous instance, a clearance order for

electncal work was incomplete, which resulted in an arc flash and minor injury to a

maintenance technician. The licensee's response to the notice of violation, in a letter

dated July 7,1998, identified corrective actions to prevent recurrence. Those corrective

actions included a revision to Procedure AP 21E-001 to require that:

- A qualified preparer prepare the clearance order.

. A qualified preparer identify energy sources and determine isolation paints.

.

3-

. When positive boundaries are not practical, the clearance not be issued without

adding special conditions / precautions to the attached clearance order summary

sheet.

In addition, the licensee held a meeting on May 22,1998, with the clearance order group

to discuss the changes to Procedure AP 21E-001 and communicated the expectation

that clearance order preparers were to provide special conditions or precautions on the

clearance order summary sheet when complete isolation by the clearance order was not

practical. The inspector determined that these corrective actions were reasonable and

complete. If the preparer of Clearance Order 98-0994-GG had complied with the

requirements in the clearance order procedure, the clearance order would have been

properly prepared and provided maintenance technicians with the information necessary

to ensure safe and proper implementation of the work order.

The licensee commenced a thorough evaluation of the failure to comply with the

clearance order procedure. The individual responsible for the generation of the

clearance uder was counseled, and improvements in communication between the

clearance order group and the planning group were evaluated. The results of this

evaluation were subject to the review by the licensee's corrective action review board.

This nonrepetitive, licensee-identified and corrected violation is being treated as a

noncited violation, consistent Section Vll.B.1 of the NRC Enforcement Policy

(50-482/9819-01).

c. Conclusions

The clearance order established for the inspection and lubrication of the fuel building

emergency exhaust absorber unit tcrnado damper was inadequate and was a violation

of Technical Specification 6.8.1. The clearance order did not provide isolation from all i

sources of high volumetric air flow and did not include special conditions or precautions l

on the clearance order summary sheet, as was required if positive boundaries were not

established. This nonrepetitive, licensee-identified and corrected violation is being

treated as a noncited violation, consistent with Section Vll.B.1 of the NRC Enforcement

Policy.

During this inspection period, routine plant tours were conducted to evaluate plant )

material condition.

I

b. Observations and Findinos

in general, where equipment deficiencies existed, the deficiencies had been identified by ,

the licensee for corrective action. The inspector noted several material condition issues '

during this inspection period.

On October 22,1998, during surveillance testing, Train A containment cooler outlet

containment isolation Valve EF HV-049 failed to fully close. Valve EF HV-049, a 10-inch

butterfly valve with a Teflon seat ring, is physically located outside of containment. The 1

licensee declared the valve inoperable and closed the manual isolation valve inside l

containment, which resulted in entry into a limiting conditions for operation action i

statement which required that the Train A containment cooler be restored to operable '

status within 7 days. The licensee then developed a plan to remove, repair, and reinstall l

the valve within the required time constraints. The plan included contingencies for

unexpected valve component conditions. Once the valve was removed, the licensee

discovered that the Teflon seat ring was damaged and required replacement.

Additionally, the base metal at one location in the vicinity of the seat ring was damaged

and required weld buildup, which was one of the preplanned contingencies. The j

licensee completed the repair and reinstallation of the valve and the postmaintenance I

test was successful. Va!ve EF HV-049 was restored to operable status on October 23, l

1998. Subsequently, the licensee successfully completed testing of Train B

containment cooler outlet containment isolation Valve EF HV-050. j

On September 29,1998, during monthly surveillance testing of Emergency Diesel

Generator B (NEO2), a fuel oil leak was identified which originated from Cylinder 13.

The leak rate was determined to be approximately 2 drops per second while the diesel

was in operation and decreased to approximately 1 drop every 5 seconds when the

diesel was secured. Drip pans with oil absorbing pads were provided to catch the

leaking fuel oil and residual fuel oil was routinely wiped up. The licensee's fire

protection engineer evaluated the fire hazard associated with the leak and determined

that the fire hazard associated with the leak was within the limits of the design basis fire

load evaluation for the emergency diesel generator room. The inspector agreed with the

fire protection engineer's assessmerit. During a meeting to plan the repairs, the

licensee decided to repair the leak during the Emergency Diesel Generator B outage

scheduled for the fourth week of October 1998. However, the licensee determined that

one of the parts needed to complete the repairs was not in stock onsite. When the

licensee approached the vendor to obtain the part, the vendor responded tnat the part

would not be available until early in 1999. The Emergency Diesel Generator B outage  !

scheduled for February 1999 includes the repair of the fuel oil leak.

During this inspection period, the inspector walked down portions of the plant, l

specifically checking temporary equipment for compliance with Procedure AP 21J-001,  !

" Control of Temporary Equipment," Revision 2. The inspector identified several

examples of minor deficiencies with the labeling expectations for temporary equipment.

The licensee responded quickly to evaluate and correct the labeling deficiencies where )

warranted. Licensee Performance improvement Requests 98-2959,-3067, and -3120 l

addressed the identified deficiencies. l

l

On October 12,1998, during a plant tour, the inspector found the cover p! ate for

Pressure Switch AB PSL-0017E, " Main Steam Isolation Valve Low Pressure Air Supply ,

Pressure Low," not installed. This was documented in Performance Improvement  !

Request 98-3058. The cover plate was immediately reinstalled and an environmental J

qualification evaluation was performed that concluded no environmental qualification

hazard existed. The licensee determined that the cover plate had been inadvertently left

uninstalled during a calibration procedure performed earlier the same day. Installation j

of the cover plate was considered a skill-of-the-craft task and was not included as a  ;

specific procedure step. '

c. Conclusions

The material condition of those plant systems and components evaluated during this l

inspection period were good with few equipment deficiencies, including those discussed

in this section.

M8 Miscellaneous Maintenance issues (92902)

M8.1 (Closed) Licensee Event Reoort (LER) 50-482/97017-00: Spent fuel storage facility

crane surveillance not met. On September 30,1997, the licensee identified that, from

1986 to 1995, surveillance test Procedure STS KE-003, " Spent Fuel Bridge Crane

Surveillance Test," was inadequate to satisfy Technical Specification Surveillance

Requirement 4.9.7. The procedure did not account for the weight of the scale in steps

to check the overload cutout setpoint. The scale weighed approximately 49 pounds.

Technical Specification 3.9.7 stated that loads in excess of 2250 pounds shall be

prohibited from traveling over fuel assemblies in the spent fuel pool storage facility.

Technical Specification 4.9.7 required that the crane interlocks and physical stops which

prevent loads in excess of 2250 pounds from traveling over fuel assemblies be

demonstrated operable within 7 days prior to crane use and at least once per 7 days

,

l

thereafter during crane operation, in late 1995, Amendment 89 transferred Technical l

Specification 3.9.7 and the associated surveillance requirements to Updated Safety

Analysis Report Section 16.9.3.

The licensee determined the cause to be an inadequate procedure revision. In i

September 1986, the licensee revised Procedure STS KE-003 to incorporate the use of

'

the scale. The procedure revision did not take the weight of the scale into '

consideration.

The licensee declared the spent fuel bridge crane inoperable until  ;

'

Procedure STS KE-003 was revised and successfully performed. On October 1,1997,

the licensee satisfactorily revised the procedure to include weight of the scale. On l

October 2,1997, the procedure was successfully performed. The licensee reviewed

past calibrations of the load cell, which initiates the overload cutout. The licensee

determined that no loads in excess of 2250 pounds were moved over fuel assemblies.

'

The inspectors determined that, although there were no past operability concerns, the

'

licensee had an inadequate surveillance test procedure for testing the crane from

September 1986 until October 1997.

I

The inspectors concluded that, in violation of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion XI,

the procedure for testing the spent fuel bridge crane was inadequate from i

September 1986 until October 1997 in that it failed to account for the weight of the scale l

during checks of the overload cutout setpoint as required. As a result, the licensee  !

failed to demonstrate operability of the spent fuel bridge crane. The licensee revised

and successfully performed the procedure. This nonrepetitive, licensee-identified and i

corrected violation is being treated as a noncited violation, consistent with

Section Vll.B.1 of the NRC Enforcement Policy (50-482/98019-02).

E2.1 Turbine-Driven Auxiliary Feedwater Pumo Peformance Imorovement

a. Inspection Scope (37551)

.

The inspector reviewed the licensee's basis for moving the turbine-driven auxiliary

feedwater pump from maintenance rule Category (a)(1) to (a)(2).

b. Observation and Findinos

On September 30,1998, a licensee expert panel decided to move the turbine-driven

auxiliary feedwater pump from maintenance rule Category (a)(1) to Category (a)(2).

The system had demonstrated that it met the established goals for a period of several

months before the licensee made the change. The maintenance rule performance

!

goals for the turbine-driven auxiliary feedwater pump were unavailability of less than or

equal to 200 hours0.00231 days <br />0.0556 hours <br />3.306878e-4 weeks <br />7.61e-5 months <br /> per rolling 18-month period and a functional failure rate of less than

or equal to one per rolling 18-month period. The unavailability goal was originally

exceeded, resulting in the turbine-driven auxiliary feedwater pump initially being placed

in the (a)(1) category.

The unavailability goal for the turbine-driven auxiliary feedwater pump was exceeded as

a result of the following:

.

Failures of the limit switch on the turbine-trip throttle valve.

.

Failures of the Resistor R1 in the power circuit for the turbine control circuitry.

.

Water intrusion into the lube oil from steam leaks and gland seal alignment

problems.

.

Inattention to maintenance rule performance goal requirements.

Since 1996, the performance of the turbine-driven auxiliary feedwater pump had

improved. This was a result of increased licensee focus on improving the system. The

system engineer involvement in the planning and scheduling of maintenance was

increased and the system out-of-service time was optimized to streamline maintenance

activities. Maintenance procedures were revised to improve guidance on setting limit

switches; the frequency of some preventive maintenance was adjusted to better meet

the needs of the components; and major system repairs and modifications were

accomplished. As a result of these efforts, the performance of the turbine-driven

auxiliary feedwater pump improved such that the system unavailability was well within

the established performance goals.

At the end of September 1998, the accumulated rolling 18-month unavailability for the

turbine-driven auxiliary feedwater pump was approximately 100 hours0.00116 days <br />0.0278 hours <br />1.653439e-4 weeks <br />3.805e-5 months <br />, substantially less

than the goal of 200 hours0.00231 days <br />0.0556 hours <br />3.306878e-4 weeks <br />7.61e-5 months <br />. Sustained improved performance over several months led

the expert panel to move the turbine-driven auxiliary feedwater pump from maintenance

rule Category (a)(1) to Category (a)(2). The licensee performance criteria for the

system shall remain the same as the goals used in Category (a)(1).

c. Conclusions

Substantial effort by the engineering organization resulted in sustained improved

performance of the turbine-driven auxiliary feedwater pump. At the end of September

1998, the accumulated rolling 18-month unavailability for the turbine-driven auxiliary

feedwater pump was approximately 100 hours0.00116 days <br />0.0278 hours <br />1.653439e-4 weeks <br />3.805e-5 months <br />, substantially less than the goal of

200 hours0.00231 days <br />0.0556 hours <br />3.306878e-4 weeks <br />7.61e-5 months <br />.

E8.1 (Closed) Inspection Followuo item 50-482/9812-10: Review the corrective actions to  :

assure that the diesel-driven fire pump starting circuit relays are placed in the preventive l

maintenance program. The licensee identified in Performance improvement

Request 98-0964 that the diesel-driven fire pump engine failed to start on demand

during postmaintenance testing on April 2,1998. The licensee determined that the i

cause of the failure was a failed relay in the engine start circuitry and that the preventive

maintenance program did not include the inspection or replacement of these relays. ,

This weakness was documented in NRC Inspection Report 50-482/98-12. i

The inspector reviewed the licensee's evaluation and the corrective actions specified in l

Performance Improvement Request 98-0964. The inspector also reviewed Performance i

improvement Requests 98-0943, -2482, -2569, and -2571. The inspector verified that

the inspection of the start circuit relays was added to the licensee's preventive j

maintenance program for the diesel-driven fire pump. Additionally, the inspector  !

determined that the licensee performed a complete review of the maintenance history,

preventive maintenance program, and manufacturer's recommended maintenance

program for the diesel-driven fire pump. As a result of this review, the licensee  !

incorporated additional improvements into the preventive maintenance program for the  ;

'

diesel-driven fire pump.

b. Observations and Findinos

The licensee maintained contact with federal, state, and local agencies during the

flooding. The licensee also attended the Coffey County emergency planning daily

briefings as conditions warranted. The licensee provided timely updates of offsite

conditions and licensee contingency plans to the inspectors, Region IV, and

headquarters personnel.

When the county closed roads due to flooding, the licensee ensured that alternate

evacuation routes were delineated. Since the flooding could also affect offsite

monitoring team routes, the licensee provided road closure information to the

emergency managers and posted the information in the technical information center and

the emergency offsite facility. The licensee provided the emergency response team

members with road closure information and ensured that all emergency plan staffing

requirements would be met if required.

c. Conclusions
