SUBJECT: NRC INSPECTION REPORT NO. 50-458/99-03
Dear Mr. Edington:
l
This refers to the inspection conducted on March 7 through April 17,1999, at the River Bend
?
Station facility. The enclosed report presents the results of this inspection.
I
Based on the results of this inspection, the NRC has determined that eight violations of NRC
requirements occurred. These violations are being treated as noncited violations (NCVs),
consistent with Appendix C of the Enforcement Policy. Several have been consolidated as
multiple examples of failing to follow procedures. We are concerned since almost all of the
problems identified in this report were associated with poor human performance (e.g.,
procedural adherence). Of particular note were the failures associated with fue! and its
movement, the three inadvertent engineered safety features actuations, and failures to properly
perform weekly Division lli standby service water pump breaker checks. Although none of
these problems, in and of themselves, imposed significant plant risk, they give rise to concerns
about River Bend's overall outage performance.
We are also concerned with the continuing engineering performance problems that, during this
period, culminated in a design control violation. The engineering evaluation to determine the
design fouling rate for the Division I residual heat removal heat exchangers failed to consider all
operational conditions and changes that could impact the evaluation results; furthermore, your
processes and procedures did not identify the quality shortcomings of this product. It was only
when you conducted performance testing in response to our concerns that you discovered that
the actual degradation rate was three times what the evaluation predicted. Recent NRC reports
have highlighted similar instances where the validity of engineering assumptions and the quality
j
of engineering product reviews have been questioned.
Increased management attention is needed to address this continuing concern. In this regard,
{
we would like to meet with you to better understand your assessment of performance during
{
this outage and its implication on overall River Bend operations. We believe this meeting would
j
best be conducted after your outage review has been completed. We also believe this meeting
would be most effective at the River Bend location. Mr. David N. Graves, Chief, Project
Branch B, will contact your staff to coordinate the details of this meeting.
>
If you contest the violation or severity level of these NCVs, you should provide a response
j
within 30 days of the date of this inspection report, with the basis for your denial, to the Nuclear
Regulatory Commission, ATTN: Document Control Desk, Washington, DC 20555-0001, with
