           5.      Background

i

                    In February 1983, the Salem Nuclear Power Station experienced two failures
                  of the reactor trip system upon the receipt of trip signals. These failures
                  were attributed to Westinghouse - Type DB-50 Reactor Trip System (RTS)            .
                  circuit breakers.                                                                 l

1

                  The failures at Salem on February 22 and 25,1983, were believed to have
                   been caused by a binding action within the undervoltage trip attachment
!                  (UVTA) located inside the breaker cubicle.
Due to problems identified with circuit breakers at Salem and at other
                   nuclear plants, NRC issued Generic Letter (GL) 83-28, Required Actions Based
 !                 on Generic Implications of Salem ATWS Events, dated July 8,1983.
J
                   This letter required licensees of operating plants to respond to inter-
                  mediate-tenn actions to ensure reliability of the RTS.        Actions to be
                   performed included development of programs to provide for post-trip review,
                   classification of equipment, vendor interface, post-maintenance testing, and

. RTS reliability improvement.

;                  The licensee, Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA), responded to GL 83-28 in a
i                   letter dated November 7, 1983, with several supplemental responses to
-
                   various sections of the GL.
                   This inspection was performed to assess the adequacy of the licensee's
                   current program, planned program improvements, and implementation of present

! procedures associated with post-trip review, equipment classification,

                   vendor interface, post-maintenance testing, and reactor trip system reli-
                   ability for Sequoyah Units 1 and 2.     The results of the inspection are
                   discussed in detail in the paragraphs that follow.
           6.      Post-Trip Review
                   The licensee was requested in GL 83-28 to describe their program, proce-
,                  dures, and data collection capability to assure that the causes for unsched-
                   uled reactor shutdowns as well as the response of safety-related equipment,
                   are fully understood prior to plant restart. The licensee's response to
                   GL 83-28 gives a detailed description of the program and procedures perti-
,
                   nent to performing post-trip reviews. The inspector reviewed the licensee's
.
'
                    response, appropriate procedures, and interviewed responsible licensee
                   personnel to assess the adequacy of the licensee's program for post-trip

.

                    reviews. The    results of this inspection are identified in the following
                   paragraphs.
                   By letter dated August 15, 1985, NRR provided the licensee with a prelimi-
                   nary Technical Evaluation Report (TER) of the licensee's response to

           response either failed to meet the review criteria of GL 83-28, or insuffi-
           cient information was provided to make a determination of the adequacy of
           the data and information capabilities.      The NRR letter requested a prompt
           response to the open issues described in the TER.          However, as of
           February 7,1986, the licensee has not provided this response (identified on
           the licensee's Management Action Tracking System as item number S0-420).
          One problem area identified in the TER questioned whether data retention
           procedures ensured that post-trip review information packages were main-
           tained in an accessible manner for the life of the plant.       The inspector
          examined this item and confirmed that Sequoyah Administrative Instruction
          AI-7, " Recorder Charts and Quality Assurance Records" identifies in
           Enclosure 6 that AI-18, Package 18. " Reactor Trip Reports" are lifetime
           plant operations records. These Reactor Trip Report packages are maintained
            in the onsite permanent records storage vault.
          Another problem area identified in the TER stated that all of the parameters
           specified in the TER for monitoring on the sequence of events and post-trip
           review reports were not monitored by these systems. The TER also questioned
           the performance characteristics of the plant process computer. The inspec-
           tor reviewed preliminary proposed software and hardware changes with Compli-
           ance Engineering personnel. These proposed changes have not been submitted
           for approval to licensee management as of February 6, 1986. Followup of the
           licensee's response to the TER and completion of the hardware and software
           changes identified in the submittal will be tracked as an Inspector Followup
            Item (IFI) 327, 328/86-11-01, Followup of the Licensee's Response to NRR for
           Post-Trip Review.
           The post-trip review program is addressed and implemented by Sequoyah
           Administrative Instruction AI-18, Plant Reporting Requirements, Appendix B
           and File Package 18, Reactor Trip Report. The procedure states that in the
          event of a reactor trip or an unexplained power reduction, it is the respon-
           sibility of the Shift Engineer (SE) to analyze the cause and determine if
           operations can continue safely before returning the reactor to power. The
           SE is a licensed senior reactor operator and supervises the operating shift.
           Shift operations personnel initiate the Reactor Trip Report. Section IV of
           the Reactor Trip Report requires that an evaluation of the event be per-
           formed in regard to Final Safety Analysis Report accident analysis by the SE
           or the Shift Technical Advisor. At this time, an assessment for startup is
          made (Section V).      If the unit cannot be returned to service at this time,
           approval for startup must be granted by the Plant Manager, who may require
           Plant Operations Review Committee (PORC) to review the event and provide
           resolution prior to authorizing restart.     Administrative Instruction AI-2,
           " Authorities and Responsibilities for Safe Operation and Shutdown", requires
           permission from the plant manager, plant superintendent, or operations
           supervisor as a prerequisite to making the reactor critical. This approval
            is documented in Section V of the reactor trip report by the SE.
                                                                                   .

,             Any unplanned manual or automatic reactor trips from power will require a
               full reactor trip report and the assembly of an associated data package
              which includes control room strip charts, post-trip review report and
               sequence of events computer printouts.

               Following completion of the Reactor Trip Report, tne operations supervisor

j reviews the report and completes Section VII, Recommendations and Corrective

Action Followup, if actions are needed to be taken. After review by the
Operations Supervisor, the trip report is sent to the PORC for an indepen-
,
               dent review of the adequacy of the trip review and corrective actions.

i The Reactor Trip Report data package is retained in the onsite permanent 2

               records storage vault for the life of the plant.

j ! The insp!ctor conducted a review of licensee procedures and verified that

               procedures were consistent with licensee responses to GL 83-28.

              The inspector reviewed the Reactor Trip Report data packages generated for
seven reactor trips that occurred in 1985. The packages were found to be
j              thorough and adequately documented the events.

              The inspector also examined the licensee's post-trip review data collection

j capabilities and process computers. Details of the inspection are as j follows: - i

Sequoyah Units 1 and 2 have a Westinghouse PR00AC P250 process and alarm

j computer, which contains a sequence of events (SOE) program and a post-trip i review program. The current system uses a half file disc which does not j have the data storage capacity to meet the TER guidelines for updating and i retaining post-trip information from approximately five minutes prior to the j trip until at least ten minutes after the trip. The licensee indicated that

:              software and hardware changes are planned to provide a full file disc system

, for increased data storage capability. The plant computer is considered ) non-Class IE, however, it is powered from an inverter. ! Each unit also has a DEC PDP 11/44 Technical Support Center computer system

!             which provides the Safety Parameter Display System (SPOS) data collection

) and processing system associated with the NUREG-0737 upgrade of Emergency i

              Response facilities. This system enhances data collection capabilities.
,             Plant personnel preparing and/or reviewing the post-trip documentation

j appeared familiar with plant systems, equipment, and plant operation. ! '

              Procedures provide for review of information from the trip and comparison
              with information derived from normal or expected operations and previous                       ,
j              shutdowns from similar situations. Additionally, site procedures provide                       l

               The licensee was requested in Section 2.1 of GL 83-28 to confirm that all
                components of the reactor trip system whose function is required to trip the
                reactor are identified as safety-related.     This identification was to be on

                documents, procedures, and information handling systems used in the plant to
               control safety-related activities including maintenance, work orders, and
                parts replacement. In addition, the licensee was requested in Section 2.2
                of GL 83-2f to describe their program for ensuring that all components of
                other saftty-related systems are also identified as safety-related on
                information handling systems used at the plant. The licensee's response to
                Sections 2.1 and 2.2 of GL 83-28 gives a detailed description of the program
                and procedures for safety-related equipment classification.
               The licensee stated in their response dated November 7,1983, that TVA's
                Division of Nuclear Power identifies all components whose functioning is
                required to trip the reactor as safety-related.       Those components which
                include the reactor protection system, the solid state protection system,
                and all other components whose functions are defined as safety-related are
                now outlined in TVA's Operational Quality Assurance Manual (0QAM) as Criti-
                cal Systems, Structures or Components (CSSC).     The 0QAM is maintained as a
                corporate document.
                This inspection was performed to verify that the licensee's program for
                equipment classification was adequate and consistent with the above re-
                sponse. Interviews of licensee personnel and review of appropriate proce-
                dures and work documents revealed the following:
                a.   TVA's current program for maintenance of the CSSC list deviates from
                     their submittal dated November 7,1983. The 00AM has been replaced by
                      the Nuclear Quality Assurance Manual and 9e CSSC lists for all TVA
                     Nuclear Plants (BFN, SQN, WBN, and BLN) have been deleted and replaced
                     with only criteria for preparation and maintenance of the CSSC list.
                     Thus, the CSSC list is no longer considered a corporate document as
                     part of the 0QAM.    This change also makes each Site Director responsi-
                      ble for assuring that the CSSC list is reviewed for completeness and
                     accuracy and that a revision control system be established to review
                     and verify each change to the CSSC list when it is made.                     l
                     All of the above changes are contrary to the licensee's initial submit-
                     tal to NRC in which the licensee stated that the CSSC list would be
                      issued and controlled manually as part of the 00AM. The inspector
                     questioned whether the licensee had plans to revise their November 7,        j
                      1983 response in which they described the 00AM as their CSSC list. No
                     answer was provided. The inspector informed the licensee that the
                     Safety Evaluation Report for Items 2.1 and 2.2 has not been issued by
                     NRR as of this date and that current information should be provided to
                     NRR.    Therefore, this item is considered an IFI 50-327, 328/86-11-02,

!                The inspector reviewed the licensee's response of November 7,1983, to

, GL 83-28 in regard to the comprehensive vendor interface program which the

                 licensee stated to be in place.               A cursory review of the Reactor Trip
,
                 Breaker Maintenance Instruction MI-10.9 revealed that one of the procedures

                 listed as references: Procedure No. TSO/5.0/5.0/2.14.0/1, titled, Reactor
                 Trip Breakers, has incorporated the vendor's manual in its entirety.

] However, MI-10.9 itself failed to implement some of the vendor's

l                recommendations.
                 The inspector reviewed licensee's procedures in the area of assimilating

4 other vendor information into the licensee's technical manuals. The inspec- . tor followed NRC Temporary Instruction TI 2515/64, Revision 1 and inspected

                 the following vendor manuals:

                            properly incorporated in the controlled copy located at the Vendor

               The inspector also reviewed the following vendor manuals from vendors that
                had gone out of business or had relinquished certain product lines thus,

                inspector stayed within the guidelines of TI 2515/64 and reviewed only
                safety-related components. Specifically, the inspector reviewed the follow-
                ing vendor manuals who have gone out of business:

                     Indicating Deviation Controllers by Beckman:
                          The inspector noted that the applicant wrote a Design Change
                          Request (DCR) #SQ-DCR-P-2236 to replace any of the subject equip-
                          ment should it become necessary to replace or repair any of them.
                          A system exists in the licensee's design change process to evalu-
                          ate alternatives ahead of anticipated need.

                     Transmitters by GE/MAC:
                                                                                             1
                          The inspector noted that a previous DCR to replace transmitters by !
                          GE/MAC, who no longer manufactures transmitters, had been can-
                          celled. The applicant's rationale for the cancellation of the
                           subject DCR was noted to be as follows: as per the DCR, a single  i
                           selected replacement would be authorized for all GE/MAC transmit- ,
                           ters.   With the cancellation of the DCR, the applicant can react l
                           to each replacement on a case by case basis and order a suitable
,                          replacement for each specific application. The inspector noted
                           that this would be a more flexible and rational approach as
                          opposed to a blanket replacement policy.

                     on several preventive maintenances in 1985 after the issue date,
                     without Temporary Change Authorization (e.g., PM #1032-099 dated

           b.  Witness of MI-10.9 Maintenance Activity on Unit 2 Reactor
               Trip Breaker A (27-Y-1981B-RT-3) Installed in Panel 2-L-116
               The inspector witnessed an execution of MI-10.9 per PM #1035-099 on
               February 4, 1986, until the Work was stopped due to inability to
               complete Step 6.3.9.1 as a result of a typographical error in the step
               directing the craf tsmen to proceed to another step that does not exist
               in the procedure.        A temporary change request #86-268, dated
               February 5,1986 corrected the subject errors in the instruction and

i the maintenance was completed on February 5, 1986. Steps 6.3.1.2 and

               6.3.1.3 could not be performed due to the control voltage being tagged
               out. Step: 7.2 and 7.5 were not performed because of a broken terminal
               board cover and the inability to complete Step 6.3.12.2.2.b because the
               reference voltage was neither known or given in the work order informa-
               tion. Some additional inspectors observations are as follows:
               (1) Step 6.3.12.3 has been designated N/A despite the fact that there
                      is no way to verify the accumulated count of UVTA cycles.
               (2)    It was stated to the inspector that the UVTA coils have been
                     replaced more often than 1250 cycles due to failure to pass the
                     tests of Step 6.3.12. The presently accepted values of accumu-
                     lated cycle count have been subjectively estimated by the cogni-
                     zant engineer and other personnel based on experience and
                     judgement.
               (3) Step 6.3.11.3 requires recording the force needed to trip the
                     breakers, but there is no place in 6.3.11.3 on page 39 to record
                     the measured force.       The step was signed off despite this
                     omission.
               (4) Discussion between the inspector and licensee personnel concerning
                     the sources of some of the testing parameters revealed uncertainty
                     regarding the sources for the TVA parameters. The licensee stated
                                                                                        1

                                           recommendations (e.g., replace UVTA coil after 1250 actions, five

                                           vs. ten post-maintenance electrical UVTA trips).
                          (5) The inspector understands that the five 08-50 spare breakers
                                           included shunt trips and counters.      The inspector feels some
                                           concern whether the equipment is fully qualified, or could be
                                           demonstrated to be fully qualified.      The Westinghouse on-site
                                           representative stated that Westinghouse could confirm if the
                                           equipment is qualified.
                          (6) The licensee stated that all spare breakers would be tested per
                                           MI-10.9 before use.
                          (7) The inspector understands that there is an in-progress modifica-
                                           tion to install shunt-trip controls to work in conjunction with
                                           the present UVTA controls.    This work is expected to be completed
                                           prior to start-up.
                       c. Concluslum Drawn From Review of HI-10.9
                          10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion V requires that activities affecting
                          quality shall be prescribed by documented instructions, procedures, or
                          drawings of a type appropriate to the circumstancies dnd shall be
                          accomplished in accordance with these instructions, procedures, or
                          drawings.                In addition, those instructions, procedures, or drawings
                          shall include appropriate quantitative or qualitative acceptance
                          criteria for determining that important activities have been satisfac-
                          torily accomplished.
                          Considering the above, in light of all the discrepancies identified
                          with Maintenance Instruction MI-10.9, the inspectors concluded that
                          this instruction is inadequate and is not being properly implemented.
                          A summary of the concerns is as follows:
                          (1) The procedure did not include vendor recommendations as specified
                                           in Westinghouse Technical Bulletin NSD-TB-83-02, Revision 1 and
                                           the licensee could not provide adequate Justification for not
                                           implementing the recommendations.
                          (2) The technical review of the procedure appeared to be lacking due
                                           to the number of significant discrepancies found by the inspector,
                                           such items as:
                                           (a) The procedure contained poor quality drawings which were
                                                 difficult to read.
                                           (b) Typographical errors existed in the procedure, each by
                                                 themselves enough to cause the technician to stop work on the
                                                 procedure.    However, records indicate the procedure was
                                                 performed several times with existing errors.

                          required by the instrument mechanic. It required the mechanic to

                          This resulted in miswiring of test leads and misinterpretations of

                     inspector's observations are as follows:
                     (1) Maintenance / test teams consist of a machinist and an electrician
                          who have been trained in a TVA three-day Limitorque Valve Operator
                          training class.

                          Operated Valve and Test System (M0 VATS) by a M0 VATS company
                          technician, after the valves have been maintained and setup for
                          the test by TVA craftsmen per MI-10.43. The M0 VATS test data
                          includes the collection and storage of test data in a " Bubble"     l
                          memory device including torque switch balancing, spring pack
                          calibration, thrust valve setting and five graphic printcut
                          charts.
                     (3) Following the M0VTAS test, a limit-to-limit operating time test
                          (stroke time) will be performed by operation. A person from the     I

1 h. Witness of M0 VATS Test on VCT Outlet Isolation Valve Level Control

                     1-FCV-62-132-5403-121 Size SMB00 Order 347352 Ser, 120610
                     The inspector's observations are as follows:
                     (1) The MOVATS tests were performed by a M0 VATS Co. Senior Technician
                          using input transducers installed by the TVA crew.              Test ID is
                          020586-1-FCV-62-132.
                     (2) The test data was recorded on a memory device test instrument that
                          displayed the input data versus time traces on a cathode ray tube
                          screen and stored it in test device memory.
                     (3) The test data display was manipulated manually after recall from
                          storage to select the~ desired pattern to place in the " Bubble"
                          memory.
                     (4) After recording the. desired displays in the " Bubble" memory
                          device, the memory . device wts given to the cognizant engineer for

               (5) The data recorded in the " Bubble" was later plotted out on five
                      charts which represent:
                            Out-of-seat motor current, and motor running current, and 97%
                            full open position.
                            Closed-to-open stroke motor running current.
                            Spring-pack deflection and load cell curve (for calibration).               ,
                            Open-to-closed stroke motor running current and seating
                            current.
                            Open-to-closed stroke motor current and torque switch and
                            Limit Switch operation.
               (6) The operating stroke time recorded by M0 VATS was 3.986 seconds.
               (7) The operating stroke time observed by the control room operator
                      with a stopwatch was approximately the same.
               (8) There was some misunderstanding on the part of the control room
                      operator as to whether the M0 VATS timing test was to be performed.
                      The matter was resolved by walkie-talkie when the inspector
                      pointed out that the test was called-for in the MR. This incident
                      raised the concern that the control room operator may not be
                      familiar with this test procedure.
               (9) The M0 VATS witnessed test was performed at the end of a regular
                      MOV MR No. A-548687. The working documents referenced during the
                      completed MR work were:

               1.    Miscellaneous Inspector General Observations
                     (1) The inspector was advised of two differing philosophies:
                           TVA does not utilize procedure walk / talk throughs because the
                           written mis are considered to be sufficiently complete and accu-
                           rate that any mechanic can follow them and execute accurate and
                           correct work.
                           Some TVA sections have training goals which plan to aasign crafts-
                           men to classes several days per year to enhance their capabilities
                           and efficiencies.
                     (2) The value of recording trending data is acknowledged, but has not
                           been uniformly and systematically collected. In some cases, the
                           effective use of data is hampered by missing or incomplete specif-
                           ic equipment identification. At the exit meeting, the applicant
                           was reminded of the importance of trending of parameters such as:
                           insulation resistance, response time, trip. torque and UVTA dropout
                           voltage, as a means to predicting the degradation of the reactor
                           trip breakers.
                     (3) The inspector was concerned over a frequent lack of specific
                           knowledge concerning the sources and justifications for some
                           acceptance parameter values used, and some manufacturers' recom-
                           mendations were not implemented.
                     Within the area examined, two examples of one violation were
                     identified.
        10.    Reactor Trip System Reliability
               In a letter dated November 7, 1983, TVA committed to develop a program for
               trending of parameters to assess any possibility of performance degradation
               for the reactor trip breakers.       The licensee indicated that the trending
               program would consist of the following:
               -
                     The compilation of all maintenance activity records into a history
                     life.
               -     The use of the Nuclear Plant Reliability Data System for breaker
                     failure data.
               -
                     An MR system.
                                                                                                I
               However, as of February 3-7, 1986, the licensee has failed to establish a        j
               formalized method for trending of reactor trip breaker parameters.          Al-
               though, the licensee'_s cognizant electrical engineer was informally
                                                                                                I
                                                                                               J

                recording the dropout voltage measurements for undervoltage trip attach-
                ments.   This is not considered a formalized trending program. In addition,
                all parameters which could effect the breakers performance are not being
                recorded by the licensee. Considering that the licensee committed to
                implement a trending program in their response dated November 7,1983, and
                failed to do so, the above concern constitutes a deviation from an NRC
                commitment and is identified as Deviation 50-327, 328/86-11-05, Failure to
                Establish a Formalized Trending Program for Reactor Trip Breakers.
                GL 83-28, Item 4.3 required licensee's of Westinghouse reactors to modify
                their plants by providing automatic reactor trip system actuation of the
                breaker shunt trip attachments. TVA responded to this item by committing to
                implement the WOG generic design package at Sequoyah.
                The licensee has developed a Work Package to implement the WOG generic
                design for the automatic shunt trip.       The inspector requested the design
                evaluations / calculations to confirm that components selected were based on
                actual plant conditions, such as the measured voltages on the UVTA inside
                the breaker cubicles. The licensee indicated that actual plant parameters
                were not considered and that an evaluation would be performed to verify the
                adequacy of the design. This concern is identified as unresolved item
                50-327, 328/86-11-07, Review TVA's Evaluation of the RTB Shunt Trip Modifi-
                cation Using Actual Plant Parameters in Lieu of Nominal Values Specified by
                the Westinghouse Generic Design.
                Within the areas examined, one deviation was identified.
