List of Findings and Violations

Spent Fuel Storage Cask Design Changes Cornerstone Severity Cross-Cutting Aspect Report Section Not Applicable Severity Level IV NCV 05000346/2021002-01 Open/Closed Not Applicable 60855 The inspectors identified a Severity Level IV Non-Cited Violation (NCV) of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 72.48(d)(1), Changes, Tests, and Experiments, for failing to maintain a record of a change to the spent fuel storage cask design that includes a written evaluation providing the bases for the determination that the change, test, or experiment does not require a license amendment pursuant to 10 CFR 72.48(c)(2). Specifically, the licensee failed to recognize in 10 CFR 72.48 screening No. 721042-146 that changes to thermal conditions in the annulus potentially impact the analyzed fuel cladding temperatures, which consistent with NRC endorsed industry guidance, would require an evaluation providing the bases for determining the change does not require a license amendment pursuant to 72.48(c)(2). However, an evaluation was not performed. Additionally, in the changes described in 10 CFR 72.48 evaluation No. 721042-155, the licensee failed to demonstrate the supporting adiabatic heat up calculation, which differed from the ANSYS Fluent models in the NUHOMS EOS Updated Final Safety Analysis Report (UFSAR), was a methodology approved by the NRC for the intended application consistent with 10 CFR 72.48(a)(2)(ii) and would not require a license amendment.

PLANT STATUS

Unit 1 began the inspection period at rated thermal power. On May 21, 2021, the unit was down powered to 40 percent to perform scheduled testing of the turbine stop valves. The unit was returned to rated thermal power on May 22, 2021 and remained at or near rated thermal power for the remainder of the inspection period.

INSPECTION SCOPES

Inspections were conducted using the appropriate portions of the inspection procedures (IPs) in effect at the beginning of the inspection unless otherwise noted. Currently approved IPs with their attached revision histories are located on the public website at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/doc-collections/insp-manual/inspection-procedure/index.html. Samples were declared complete when the IP requirements most appropriate to the inspection activity were met consistent with Inspection Manual Chapter (IMC) 2515, Light-Water Reactor Inspection Program - Operations Phase. The inspectors reviewed selected procedures and records, observed activities, and interviewed personnel to assess licensee performance and compliance with Commission rules and regulations, license conditions, site procedures, and standards.

Starting on March 20, 2020, in response to the National Emergency declared by the President of the United States on the public health risks of the coronavirus (COVID-19), resident and regional inspectors were directed to begin telework and to remotely access licensee information using available technology. During this time, the resident inspectors performed periodic site visits each week, increasing the amount of time on site as local COVID-19 conditions permitted.

As part of their onsite activities, resident inspectors conducted plant status activities as described in IMC 2515, Appendix D; observed risk significant activities; and completed on site portions of IPs. In addition, resident and regional baseline inspections were evaluated to determine if all or a portion of the objectives and requirements stated in the IP could be performed remotely. If the inspections could be performed remotely, they were conducted per the applicable IP. In some cases, portions of an IP were completed remotely and on site. The inspections documented below met the objectives and requirements for completion of the IP.

INSPECTION RESULTS

Spent Fuel Storage Cask Design Changes Cornerstone Severity Cross-Cutting Aspect Report Section Not Applicable Severity Level IV NCV 05000346/2021002-01 Open/Closed Not Applicable 60855 The inspectors identified a Severity Level IV Non-Cited Violation (NCV) of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 72.48(d)(1), Changes, Tests, and Experiments, for failing to maintain a record of a change to the spent fuel storage cask design that includes a written evaluation providing the bases for the determination that the change, test, or experiment does not require a license amendment pursuant to 10 CFR 72.48(c)(2).

Specifically, the licensee failed to recognize in 10 CFR 72.48 screening No. 721042-146 that changes to thermal conditions in the annulus potentially impact the analyzed fuel cladding temperatures, which consistent with NRC endorsed industry guidance, would require an evaluation providing the bases for determining the change does not require a license amendment pursuant to 72.48(c)(2). However, an evaluation was not performed.

Additionally, in the changes described in 10 CFR 72.48 evaluation No. 721042-155, the licensee failed to demonstrate the supporting adiabatic heat up calculation, which differed from the ANSYS Fluent models in the NUHOMS EOS Updated Final Safety Analysis Report (UFSAR), was a methodology approved by the NRC for the intended application consistent with 10 CFR 72.48(a)(2)(ii) and would not require a license amendment.

Description:

In October 2019, the licensee loaded the first Certificate of Compliance (CoC)1042, Amendment 0, NUHOMS EOS System. While processing their first EOS-37 dry shielded canister (DSC), DSC No. 9, the licensee experienced unexpected issues complicating the drying process. Specifically, the licensee was unable to demonstrate the dryness criterion was met during vacuum drying as specified in the NUHOMS EOS Technical Specification (TS) limiting condition of operation (LCO) 3.1.1. LCO 3.1.1 states, in part, that The DSC vacuum drying pressure shall be sustained at or below 3 Torr (3 mm Hg)absolute for a period of at least 30 minutes following evacuation. While troubleshooting the issue, the licensee backfilled the canister with helium so that the fittings could be checked for leakage. When the licensee backfilled the canister with helium, the water in the annulus began to rapidly boil. The boiling in the annulus created a safety hazard to personnel, so the licensee backed out of the procedure by drawing a vacuum. The licensee worked with the CoC holder and eventually identified and fixed a leaking fitting that was preventing them from meeting the dryness criteria. The licensee then completed processing the canister and was able to meet TS requirements.

Given the extended time in vacuum drying and the changing thermal environment in the DSC during troubleshooting, the inspectors questioned whether the canister conditions encountered during troubleshooting were consistent with the design basis thermal analysis described in Chapter 4 of the NUHOMS EOS UFSAR, Revision 1. Once the licensee completed processing the canister, the licensee consulted with the CoC holder to address the issues experienced during the vacuum drying process. The licensee made several changes to the UFSAR using the 10 CFR 72.48 process. To complete a review of the thermal analysis and the changes made to the UFSAR, the inspectors opened Unresolved Item (URI)05000346/2019004-01 (ML20035D918).

The NRC staff reviewed the licensees corrective actions associated with the conditions encountered during troubleshooting. This included a review of calculations concluding that temperatures did not exceed the maximum peak cladding temperature limits specified in the UFSAR. Also reviewed were changes to the UFSAR made following the issues encountered during vacuum drying of DSC No. 9. The NRC staff identified the following issues associated with the licensees UFSAR changes:

1) Section 4.5.11 of the EOS UFSAR states the water in the annulus is monitored and replenished with fresh water to prevent boiling, and to maintain the water level if excessive evaporation occurs Presence of water within the annulus maintains the maximum DSC shell temperature below the boiling temperature of water in open atmosphere (223°F). Title 10 CFR 72.48 screening No. 721042-146, dated October 18, 2019, revised these statements in the UFSAR. Specifically, the licensee changed the language in the UFSAR from no boiling of water in the annulus to an expectation of boiling at high heat loads. The change also provided additional instructions that the annulus must remain open to the atmosphere and how to add water to the annulus to ensure water level is maintained.

In the screening, the licensee stated that the changes being made were editorial in nature and provided additional clarification. However, UFSAR Section 4.5.11 was consistent with the NRCs Safety Evaluation Report for this system which stated that the water in the annulus would be maintained below the boiling temperature of water to ensure the canister shell would be maintained below 223°F at a given pressure. These assumptions can only be met with a constant pressure in the DSC and subcooled water in the annulus so that the evaluation performed remained valid. Hence, boiling in the annulus would have an adverse effect on the design function conditions that maintain the DSC shell below 223°F during vacuum drying operations and subsequently the design function to keep peak cladding (a fission product barrier) temperatures within limits. Therefore, the licensee incorrectly concluded in their screening that there were no changes involving a system, structure, or component that adversely affected a design function described in the UFSAR. Furthermore, the licensee failed to recognize that changes to thermal conditions in the annulus and DSC shell temperatures potentially impact the analyzed fuel cladding temperatures. Potential changes to fuel cladding impacts, adverse or not, should be evaluated per 72.48 as noted in industry guidance endorsed by the NRC in Regulatory Guide 3.72, Guidance for Implementation of 10 CFR 72.48, Changes, Tests, and Experiments, Revision 0. These evaluations are required to provide the bases for determining the change does not require a license amendment pursuant to 72.48(c)(2).

2) In 10 CFR 72.48 evaluation No. 721042-155, dated October 29, 2019, the licensee evaluated a change to the UFSAR establishing additional limits for a canister in vacuum drying. Specifically, the change modified steps 17 and 24 in Section 9.1.3 of the UFSAR limiting the canister to a pressure below 3 Torr for 3 hours3.472222e-5 days <br />8.333333e-4 hours <br />4.960317e-6 weeks <br />1.1415e-6 months <br /> before pressure must then be raised. This change was supported by calculation No. 503948-0404, Revision 0, that evaluated the thermal impact of the proposed UFSAR changes establishing additional vacuum drying operation limitations.

Section 4.4, Thermal Evaluation for Storage, of the EOS UFSAR states ANSYS Fluent CFD [Computational Fluid Dynamics] models are used to demonstrate that the maximum temperatures of key components such as fuel cladding, concrete, heat shields, etc. are below maximum temperature limits. Section 4.5.2.2 of the EOS UFSAR states similar to the modeling approach used for evaluation of storage conditions, the unstructured meshes for the EOS-37PTH DSC basket assembly and the EOS-TC125 are imported and combined into ANSYS Fluent to create an integrated model. Finally, Section 4.5.11 states the EOS-37 DSC models described in Section 4.5.2 are used to determine the maximum fuel cladding temperatures for vacuum drying operations. In 72.48 evaluation No. 721042-155, the licensee concluded that calculation No. 503948-0404, Revision 0, follows the same methodology as described in Section 4.5 of the UFSAR. Therefore, this change does not depart from a method of evaluation described in the UFSAR. As noted above, the UFSAR establishes that ANSYS Fluent models are used to demonstrate key components are below maximum temperature limits. However, calculation No. 503948-0404, Revision 0, used the maximum fuel cladding temperature calculated in the UFSAR and assumed an adiabatic heat up for the time duration being evaluated. The heat up rate chosen was taken from UFSAR Section 4.4.8. This section provides a method for comparing EOS 37 DSC heat up rates to the EOS 89 DSC, but it does not provide a method to demonstrate that the maximum temperatures of key components such as fuel cladding are below maximum temperature limits as stated in Section 4.4 of the EOS UFSAR. In the 72.48 evaluation, the licensee failed to demonstrate that the adiabatic heat up calculation, which differed from the ANSYS Fluent models in the EOS UFSAR, was a methodology approved by the NRC for the intended application consistent with 10 CFR 72.48(a)(2)(ii).

Corrective Actions: The concern was placed in the corrective action program. Following initial loading of DSC No. 9, calculations were performed by the licensee, and independently reviewed by the NRC, which concluded that temperatures did not exceed the maximum peak cladding temperature limits specified in the UFSAR. Therefore, there was no immediate safety concern. Additional corrective actions are still in progress and include evaluating the need for additional changes to restore compliance as well as performing a causal evaluation regarding the circumstances of the non-compliance.

Corrective Action References: CR-2021-05199; Potential NCV of 10 CFR 72.48 for 2019 DB Fuel Loading Campaign; July 8, 2021

Performance Assessment:

None Screening: The inspectors determined that the violation was of more than minor significance using NRC Enforcement Manual, Appendix E, "Example of Minor Issues." Specifically, the example for Minor changes to requirements was found to be similar and resulted in a more than minor determination since there was reasonable likelihood that the change would require prior NRC approval.

Significance: In accordance with Section 2.2 of the Enforcement Policy, ISFSIs are not subject to the Significance Determination Process (SDP) and traditional enforcement will be used for these facilities. Traditional enforcement violations are not assessed for cross-cutting aspects.

Enforcement:

Severity: The inspectors determined that the violation could be evaluated using Section 6.1.d.2 of the NRC Enforcement Policy as a Severity Level IV violation because, although more than minor, the resultant condition was of very low safety significance because the changes did not result in temperatures in the canister exceeding regulatory limits.

Violation: Title 10 CFR 72.48(d)(1) requires, in part, the licensee to maintain records of changes in the facility or spent fuel storage cask design, of changes in procedures, and of tests and experiments made pursuant 10 CFR 72.48(c). These records must include a written evaluation which provides the bases for the determination that the change, test, or experiment does not require a license amendment pursuant to paragraph (c)(2) of this section.

Title 10 CFR 72.48(c)(2)(viii) requires, in part, that a specific licensee obtain a license amendment pursuant to 10 CFR 72.56 prior to implementing a proposed change if the change would result in a departure from a method of evaluation described in the FSAR (as updated) used in establishing the safety analyses performed.

Title 10 CFR 72.48(a)(2)(ii) states, in part, that definitions for the purposes of this section include departure from a method of evaluation described in the FSAR (as updated) used in establishing the design bases means changing from a method described in the FSAR to another method unless that method has been approved by NRC for the intended application.

UFSAR Section 4.4, Thermal Evaluation for Storage, of the EOS UFSAR states, in part, ANSYS Fluent CFD [Computational Fluid Dynamics] models are used to demonstrate that the maximum temperatures of key components such as fuel cladding, concrete, heat shields, etc. are below maximum temperature limits.

UFSAR Section 4.5.11 states the EOS-37 DSC models described in Section 4.5.2 are used to determine the maximum fuel cladding temperatures for vacuum drying operations.

Section 4.5.11 also states the water in the annulus is monitored and replenished with fresh water to prevent boiling. The presence of water within the annulus maintains the maximum DSC shell temperature below the boiling temperature of water in open atmosphere (223°F).

Contrary to the above, on October 18 and October 29, 2019, the licensee failed to maintain a record of two changes to the spent fuel storage cask design that includes a written evaluation providing the bases for the determination that the change did not require a license amendment pursuant to 10 CFR 72.48(c)(2). Specifically, the licensee failed to recognize in 10 CFR 72.48 screening No. 721042-146 that changes to thermal conditions in the annulus and DSC shell temperatures potentially impact the analyzed fuel cladding temperatures, which would require an evaluation providing the bases for determining the change does not require a license amendment pursuant to 72.48(c)(2). However, an evaluation was not performed. In the changes described in 10 CFR 72.48 evaluation No. 721042-155, the licensee failed to demonstrate the adiabatic heat up calculation, which differed from the ANSYS Fluent models in the EOS UFSAR described above, was a methodology approved by the NRC for the intended application consistent with 10 CFR 72.48(a)(2)(ii) and would not require a license amendment.

Enforcement Action: This violation is being treated as a non-cited violation, consistent with Section 2.3.2 of the Enforcement Policy.
