-

Plant tours taken during the reporting period included, but were not

~

1.imited to, the turbine buildings, the auxilary building, Units 1 and 2

4

electrical equipment rooms, Units 1 and 2 cable spreading rooms', and the

station yard zone inside the protected area.

During the plant tours, ongoing activit 6 , housekeeping, security,

equipment status and radiation control practices were observed.

a '. Unit 1 Operations

Unit i began the reporting period at full power and remained there

until August 28, when a reactor power coastdown was intitiated.

'

Reactor power level and, consequently, reactor coolant system average

temperature were allowed to decrease gradually to compensate for the

-decrease in core reactivity due to fuel depletion at the end of .the

fuel cycle. On the evenin: of September 3, a controlled shutdown was

initiated from approximately 85 percent power, and the unit was taken

off line early on the morning of September 4, to begin its fourth

refueling outage.

The reactor coolant system was cooled down to Mode 4 (hot shutdown)

on September 4 and to Mode 5 (cold shutdown) on September 5.

Mode 6

.(refueling) was entered on September 10, and core alterations were

commenced on September 20.

,

Each unit is equipped with two emergency diesel generators (EDGs) to

supply standby power for safe unit shutdown in the event of a loss of

of f site oower.

Each diesel generator has an independent fuel oil

storage tank and supply system.

When required for maintenance

access, the 50,000 gallon underground storage tank can be isolated by

shutting one of two valves in the supply line connecting the storage

tank to the remainder of the fuel oil system. One valve is interior

to its corresponding diesel room while the other is outside ' the

1

diesel room in the underground storage tank area and is in close

proximity to the exterior valve for the other diesel of that unit.

On September 11, at approximately 6:10 p.m. , the licensee discovered

l

that the exterior fuel oil supply valve (1FD-74) to diesel generator

i

1B was mistakenly shut instead of the exterior fuel oil supply valve

(1FD-67) to diesel generator 1A.

This condition, causing diesel 18

to 'be inoperable, had existed since approximately 11:50 p.m.

on

September 8, during which time diesel 18 had been considered the only

operable diesel for Unit 1 as diesel 1A was undergoing major outage

maintenance.

Unit I was in Modes 5 and '6 during this time.

The

valve alignment was corrected at the time of discovery by the

i

licensee.

The cause of the mistaken valve alignment was incorrect

valve identification in that the label plates for the two valves

were interchanged. The licensee determined that the label plates were

initially installed in this configuration approximately six months

prior to the occurrence when Operating Procedure OP/1/A/6350/02

'(Diesel . Generator) was used to verify the valves' location.

This

location.

The licensee corrected the ' label _ plates at the time of

' discovery and promptly issued a change to correct the operating

procedure.

isolation instead of the exterior valves, it is considered unlikely

that the. exterior valves had previously been inappropriately operated

.during the time'the valves were misidentified.

Having both diesel generators inoperable in Modes 5 and 6 constitutes

a violation 'of Technical Specifications . 3.1.2.1,

3.1.2.3,

and

3.8;1.2.

Furthermore, the procedural inadequacies delineated above,

'

concerning operating procedure OP/1/A/6350/02 constitute a violation

of Technical Specification 6.8.1.

It should also be noted that since

the c unit had not reached the point of moving fuel, the action

statements of the above specifications were unknowingly met.

o

)

Inasmuch as the circumstances of the above event satisfy the

,

requisites del.ineated in 10 CFR 2 Appendix C concerning licensee

l

identified violations, no Notice of Violation will be issued. (LIV

'

50-369/87-36-01)

In a related matter, the ' subject of the deportability of the above

described incident will be carried as an Unresolved Item pending

completion of the licensee's evaluation.

Currently, the licensee

does not consider the event to be reportable because, unbeknownst to

them at the time, the . action statements of the applicable

specifications were met. (UNR 50-369/87-36-02)

-

The unit was in Mode 6, with the reactor coolant system drained for

"mid-loop" operations and the reactor pressure vessel head removed, .

on the morning of September 16, when a loss of offsite power

occurred.

One of the two independent circuits between the offsite

transmission network and the onsite essential auxiliary power system

had been removed from service for outage maintenance as permitted by

the plant's Technical Specifications in the existing mode.

The

second offsite power source was lost at 10:15 a.m. as a result of

nuclear station modification testing being performed by Instrument

and Electrical (IAE) personnel .

All systems appeared to respond

normally to the loss of offsite power. The operable diesel generator

started and loaded as required, and the operators promptly restarted

j

the residual heat removal (NU) pump on emergency power

Reactor

coolant system temperature increased about six degrees during the

four minutes in which no ND flow existed. Offsite power was restored

{

at 10:25 a.m.

At 10:30 a.m. the licensee declared a Notification of

q

Unusual Event (NOUE) as required by the emergency plan; the NOUE was

j

terminated at 1:49 p.m.

]

The licensee has initiated a Problem Investigation Report (PIR Serial

No. 0-M87-0208) to follow-up on this event and determine appropriate

corrective actions to prevent recurrence. The inspectors will review

the licensee's PIR and track this event as an Inspector Follow-up

'

Item (IFI 50-369, 370/87-36-03).

Loss of these

,

electrical supplies ultimately resulted in;the trip of a main turbi.ne-

control ~ interface. relay, GBX, which was perceived: by' the turbine

control logic as a total loss of main ' generator load and caused the

turbine' governor valves to close.to prevent a turbine overspeed. The,

lossiof ca' secondary heat sink caused primary system temperature and

.' pressure.to increase to the high pressurizer pressure trip setpoint

of. 2385 psig.

The' -lost. electrical supplies _ also prevented

pressurizer power . operated relief valves, condenser steam dumps

and atmospheric. dumps from functioning, thereby

increasing the

magnitude o_f the' primary pressure transient. Pressure peaked at 2412

psig, .so the' primary system code safety valves, which have lift

j

setpoints of 2485 psig, were not. challenged. The. event was further

'

complicated by a loss of.. throttling capability for the auxiliary

feedwater system and by the moisture. separator / reheater extraction

' steam valves remaining open after the trip.

These complications,

l

which were also attributable to the loss of power, caused difficulty

u

in controlling the primary coolant system cooldown rate and resulted

. i n 'a decrease inl average coolant _ temperature to 540 degroes-

Fahrenheit.

Power to the lost load centers was restored at about

>

10:44 a.mi, facilitating a normal plant recovery from the reactor

. trip.

The circumst'ances surrounding this event, and in particular

)

the coordination of electrical breakers, will be carried as an

!

Inspector Follow-up Item.

(IF1 50-370/87-36-04)

j

The unit . was restarted on September 7 and operated at. full power

until September 16, when a loss of instrument air (VI) pressure

i

caused the main feedwater regulating valves to close and the reactor

!

to trip on low steam' generator water level.

The plant responded

.n

normally during the trip and was placed back on the line early on the

mor.ning of September 17; it completed the reporting period at full

power,

' The September'16,. loss of. instrument air resulted from the' loss of

% c'

receivers. : Three of the four. compressors were aligned to receive

Nf , g

their electrical power 'from Unit 1 on1 the morning of. September '16,

,

'^

thus when offsite power was lost, the single-surviving' compressor was

gi

zi ncapable of supplying system demand.

Approximately six minutes

after the' loss of offsite power on' Unit 1, VI pressure decreased to:a

@

point ~ at which the Unit 2 air-operated feedwater regulating valves

began to elose .and steam ; generator water level began. _to . drop. The

~

operators were unable-to restart.the VI compressors on- Unit 2 power

soon Anough .to halt the loss of VI pressure. As noted-in the~ Unit 1

. operations' discussion, the licensee -has inititated a PIR r to

investigate this event and the inspectors will followup on the

-

licensee's corrective actions.

'n

During a: tour .of the Unit 2 auxiliary feedwater (CA) pump rooms on

September 1,.1987, the inspectors noted that 2CA-87, a 2A motor

.

driven pump manual discharge, isolation' valve, had a lock and chain

attached to the-valve yoke.that did not in any way capture the valve

handwheelfto prevent it from being operated. The inspectors verified

that .the valve was open and proceeded to the control room to

'

determine from - the CA': procedure (0P/2/A/6250/02) valve checklist

whether the valve was supposed to be locked in the open position and

to . report the apparentL discrepancy to the Operations staff,

The

procedure confirmed that 2CA-87 was supposed to be locked in the open

position. ~ An Operator was promptly dispatched to <orrect the

deficiency.

'

m

,

Any deviation from normal system alignment is..normally controlled by.

the Tagout/ Removal and Restoration (R&R) procedure, OMP 2-17.

Accordingly, the R&R index was reviewed to determine whether an R&R

had recently been issued for the CA system.

It revealed that R&R

number 27-286 had been issued .on the 2A motor driven CA pump on

August 27 and that sequence number 3 of the tagout required that

2CA-87 be closed. When the system was restored later that day, the

j

return position block for 2CA-87 indicated that the valve should be

d

returned to the open position, but it failed to indicate that the

valve should be locked, as' required by 0P/2/A/6250/02 and OMP 2-17.

NRC Inspection Report Nos. 50-369,370/87-26 documents a reactive

inspection conducted to review the' circumstances surrounding a Unit 1

g

diesel generator inoperability which occurred between July 26 and 30,

1987.

One factor involved in that incident was the apparent

inadequacy of an R&R processed to remove an RN pump from service for

preventive maintenance. The equipment tagged block of the R&R failed

to adequately specify how the diesel generator cooled oy that RN pump

was to be prevented from starting (for eq-ui pment orotection

purposes).

This incident is being considered for escalated

enforcement action,-and the Notice of Violation has nct yet been

!

issued by the NRC.

Unit 2 Fuel Element Defect

Unit.2 completed 'its last' refueling outage on July 6,

1987, and

opercted with. normal

fuel

performance until August 26, when

indications of a possible fuel element defect were detected.

The

reactor cociant system dose equivalent iodine-131 concentration had

been running at normal levels (i.e., less than 0.05 microcuries/ gram)

i

but showed a suoden increase to approximately 0.31 microcuries/ gram.

,

The sample . frequency has been increased to help trend the variations

in iodine concentration, particularly after operational transients.

The highest peak recorded to date has been 0.93. microcuries/ gram,

which remains below the Technical Specification limit of 1.0

microcurie / gram.

Personnel at McGuire and the Duke Power Company General Office have

been tracking the data closely and have evalcated the consequences of

operating for an extended period of time with a significant fuel

element defect. The licensee has compared the limited data available

for Unit 2 at this time with the data from fuel element defects at

other Duke facilities and other licensees.

Historically, fuel

element defects have been induced by two mechanisms, either grid

fretting or debris. The data currently available appears to fit the

coolant activity trend found in debris induced fuel failures.

The

licensee is continuing to track changes in coolant activity, with

samples being taken on twelve hour intervals,

The inspectors will

continue to monitor licensee activities in this area.

5.

Surveillance Testing

i

Selected surveillance tests were analyzed and/or witnessed by the

inspector to ascertain procedural and performance adequacy and conformance

with applicable Technical Specifications.

Selected tests were witnessed to ascartain thst current written approved

procedures were available and in use, that test equipment in use was

calibrated, that test prerequisites were met, that system restoration was

completed and test results were adequate.

Detailed below are selreted tests which were either reviewed or witnessed:

L'-

'On' July 21,11987,- both NcGuire units were operating.at full power and the

-

y

' "A": train .of. VC/.YC wasL supplying control room ventilation. The normal RN

. .

essential header discharge flow path ' to the main .. condenser circulating

'

.

. ' , .

_

Jwater system discharge was isolated (i.e., valve ORN-147A was closed and

4

0RN-148A-was open) and. valve 0RN-149A was open sending the RN discharge to

y

the standby nuclear service water pond (SNSWP). The Performance group was

'

making preparations to . conduct "A"

train safety injection slave relay :

testing in accordance with section 12.25 of PT/2/A4200/28, which required

valve ORN-147A to'be in the open position but failed to'specify a position

for ORN-148A. At Performance's request the Operations staff realigned the

c'

RN valves to comply with the PT and .sti'll maintain the existing RN.

flowpath to the SNSWP' (i.e. , valve ORN-147A was opened and ORN-148A was

! closed).

. .

. When the train

"A" safety injection slave relays (K610 and K641) were

energized,r valve ORN-149A closed as required, thereby isolating the only

avaliable discharge flowpath for the essential RN header. This. caused the

operating "A".: train.VC/YC chiller to trip on loss of cooling water flow as

the "B" train had done on February 4, 1987.

requ. ired."B" train essential loads. RN pump 2B was . running at the time,

however, since the RN supply _ header was cross connected, it was supplying

flow to the, "A"

VC/YC chiller, an essential

"A" trai n load.

A very

similar statement in- section 12.26 of the same procedure was responsible

for the incident on' February 4.

It had also directed the technician to

Follow-up of Previous Enforcement Actions-

(Closed)" Violation 50-369/84-23-01 - Failure to fileia special report

regarding . loose parts detection system inoperability.

The licensee's

' Compliance staff, has placed increased emphasis and ef fort' into reviewing :

  • '

' Operations ~ 1ogbooks to' detect -conditions and events that require NRC

-

. report's and-notifications. The' resident inspectors have remained vigilant

'

for missed reporting requirements and have, from, time to: time, detected

additional failures to submit required reports to the NRC. These failures

have been: attributed to isolated personnel errors and are not. considered

to constitute a programmatic deficiency.

The missed special report was submitted to the NRC on July 30, 1984. On

January 10, 1986, . licensee management issued a Technical Specification

(TS) interpretation to provide guidance to the control room operators in

making operability determinations regarding TS 3.3.3.10, which governs the

-loose parts detection system.

~

(Closed) Deviation 50-369/87-14-06 - Failure to construct the auxiliary

'i

feedwater halon 1301 system in accordance with applicable design drawings

and standards as committed to the'NRC. During a routine tour of the Unit
