INSPECTION RESULTS
Unresolved Item Unresolved Issue Associated with 10 CFR 50.9, 71111.13 (Open) "Completeness and Accuracy of Information" URI 05000282,05000306/2021004-01
Description:
The inspectors identified an unresolved issue (URI) associated with 10 CFR 50.9, "Completeness and Accuracy of Information". The inspectors identified three licensee submittals with potentially inaccurate and incomplete information that had been provided to the NRC. Specifically, on April 11, 2008, December 28, 2009, and June 13, 2019, the licensee provided information to the Commission that was potentially not complete and accurate in that, the fluence values provided in these records for Circumferential Weld-Intermediate Shell forging C to Lower Shell Forging D and Circumferential Weld - Nozzle Shell Forging B to Intermediate Shell Forging C (a.k.a. Welds W-3 and W-2) and related parameters (upper shelf energy (USE) at 54 Effective Full Power Years (EFPY), RTNDT, ARTNDT and RTPTS-End of Operating Life (EOL)) were not accurate. Specifically, in these documents, the fluence values reported for circumferential reactor vessel welds W-2 and W-3 were not correct and consequently the values reported for the related parameters derived/based on these incorrect fluence values were also incorrect. Because this erroneous information was non-conservative and necessary to demonstrate compliance with NRC regulations (e.g., 10 CFR 50.60 and/or 10 CFR50.61) it was considered a potential 50.9 "Completeness and Accuracy of Information" issue.
This issue is unresolved because the inspectors will need to consult with the Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation to verify the "materiality" of each of the submittals as well as determining if "substantial further inquiry" will be needed. This information is necessary to determine if a violation of regulatory requirements exists.
Planned Closure Actions: The inspectors will discuss the information obtained during the inspection with the Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation (NRR) to determine the "materiality" and if "substantial further inquiry" is needed for the information per 10 CFR 50.9 and the enforcement manual.

Failure to Meet ASME OM Code requirements for Accumulator Check Valve Cornerstone Significance Cross-Cutting Report Aspect Section Initiating Events Green [H.14] - 71111.15 NCV 05000306/2021004-02 Conservative Open/Closed Bias The inspectors identified a green finding and associated non-cited violation of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) Part 50.55a(f)(4) for the failure to meet the in-service testing requirements set forth in the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Operations and Maintenance Code and Addenda after Check Valve 2SI-6-4 exceeded its ASME Code leakage acceptance criteria. Specifically, the licensee failed to repair or replace the check valve prior to returning the valve to service. The licensee entered this issue into their corrective action program and plan on repairing or replacing the valve during the next refueling outage.
Description:
On October 24, 2021, the licensee performed a Reactor Coolant System Integrity Test on Accumulator Check Valve 2SI-6-4. During this test, the 0 to 5.3 gallon per minute (gpm) flow meter used to measure the internal valve leakage was off scale high and the valve leakage acceptance criteria of 1.8 gpm was exceeded. The licensee estimated the internal valve leakage was approximately 5.9 gpm. The licensee reperformed the test at a higher pressure to apply back seat pressure to the valve and lower the valve's leakage. The valve leakage acceptance criteria was exceeded again during the second test. The licensee entered this issue into their corrective action program, performed an operability determination, concluded the failed leakage test did not impact any Technical Specification (TS) requirements, and proceeded with plant restart activities.
The inspectors reviewed the Prairie Island Technical Specifications and agreed with the licensee's conclusion that 2SI-6-4 was not included in any specification. A subsequent review of the Updated Safety Analysis Report (USAR) found that Check Valve 2SI-6-4 was used to accomplish multiple safety functions. Section 6.2.1.1 of the USAR states 2SI-6-4 opens to provide a flow path for the Emergency Core Cooling System (ECCS) accumulators.
Based on testing performed during the outage, the open function of 2SI-6-4 was not impacted by the failed leakage test. Additionally, USAR Section 4.6.1.2.1 designates Check Valve 2SI-6-4 as a pressure isolation valve. This designation is reserved for configurations where two normally closed valves in series valves are used to protect a lower pressure system (in this case the ECCS accumulator) from an over pressurization failure caused by the attached Reactor Coolant System (RCS). The inspectors determined this function was impacted by the failed leakage test since the valve did not meet the leakage acceptance criteria.
As part of this review, the inspectors also reviewed the ASME Operations and Maintenance (OM) Code to determine if code requirements were met. The inspectors determined the licensee's code of record was ASME OM 2004, 2006 addenda, and leakage testing of 2SI-6-4 was being performed to satisfy ASME OM Code In-service Testing (IST)requirements. The inspectors also reviewed licensee procedure H10.1 ASME Inservice Testing Program." This procedure described the licensee's ASME IST program and classified 2SI-6-4 as a Category A valve for the closed direction/function. The basis for categorizing a valve as Category A is that leakage past the valve is considered consequential to the achievement of a safety function. Per ASME OM Code, Section ISTC-3630, Leakage Rate for Other Than Containment Isolation Valves, Category A valves with leakage requirements not based on an Owners 10 CFR 50, Appendix J program shall be tested to verify their seat leakages are within the acceptable limits. Based on the inspectors review of procedure H.10, they concluded 2SI-6-4 was not part of the licensee's 10 CFR 50, Appendix J program. As a result, the valve leakage acceptance criteria were governed by ASME OM Code, Section ISTC-3630(e), "Analysis of Leakage Rates," which stated, "Leakage rate measurements shall be compared with permissible leakage rates specified by the Owner, the following rates shall be permissible:
- (1) for water, 0.5 times the pipe diameter or 5 gpm, whichever is less at function differential pressure." Because 2SI-6-4's measured leakage rate exceeded the criteria specified in Section ISTC 3630(e), the inspectors determined ISTC Section-3630(f) applied. Section ISTC-3630(f), Corrective Action, stated, valves or valve combinations with leakage rates exceeding the values specified by the Owner per ISTC-3630 shall be declared inoperable and either repaired or replaced. A retest demonstrating acceptable operation shall be performed following any required corrective action before the valve is returned to service.
When the licensee exceeded the leakage acceptance criteria for 2SI-6-4, the valve was not in-service, because the reactor was not operating in a mode where 2SI-6-4 was required to meet its safety function. The licensee did declare 2SI-6-4 code inoperable when its leakage rate was exceeded and entered the issue into their corrective action program, but they did not repair or replace the valve prior to returning the valve to service. Specifically, the licensee did not repair or replace the valve prior to placing the reactor in an operating mode where 2SI-6-4 would need to perform its safety function of protecting the low-pressure accumulator system from the high-pressure RCS. The licensee did not believe they needed to perform any actions prior to returning 2SI-6-4 to service because the check valve in series with it had successfully passed a leakage test. The licensee believed that a successful leakage test of one out of two check valves was sufficient, the code allowed them to repair 2SI-6-4 at a later date, and a request for relief from the ASME Code requirements from the NRC was not required. The licensee started up Unit 2 on October 28, 2021.
The inspectors reviewed the licensees position and determined it did not fully meet the requirements of ASME OM Code. Although the licensee performed leakage testing of 2SI-6-4 as required by ASME OM Code Subsection ISTC-3630, the licensee did not repair or replace 2SI-6-4 after identifying the valve failed to meet its ISTC-3630 leakage value and did not perform a retest demonstrating acceptable operation prior to returning the valve to service. In addition, the licensee did not request relief from the code via an ASME Code relief request to the NRC which, if approved, would have allowed the valve to be returned to service without performing the required repair or replacement.
Corrective Actions: The licensee entered the issue into their corrective action program and plans to repair or replace the valve during the next refueling outage.
Corrective Action References: 501000057644, 2SI-6-4 leakage during SP 2070
Performance Assessment:
Performance Deficiency: The licensee failed to meet the in-service testing requirements in the ASME OM code as required by 10 CFR 50.55a (f)(4). Specifically, the licensee failed to repair or replace accumulator check valve 2SI-6-4 when the valve failed its leakage test.
Screening: The inspectors determined the performance deficiency was more than minor because it was associated with the Equipment Performance attribute of the Initiating Events cornerstone and adversely affected the cornerstone objective to limit the likelihood of events that upset plant stability and challenge critical safety functions during shutdown as well as power operations. Specifically, the failure to repair or replace check valve 2SI-6-4 as required by the ASME OM Code impacts the valve's ability to perform the function of preventing back leakage from a high pressure rated system to a low pressure rated system.
Significance: The inspectors assessed the significance of the finding using Appendix A, The Significance Determination Process (SDP) for Findings At-Power. The issued screened as Green because the inspectors answered no to all the questions.
Cross-Cutting Aspect: H.14 - Conservative Bias: Individuals use decision-making practices that emphasize prudent choices over those that are simply allowable. A proposed action is determined to be safe in order to proceed, rather than unsafe in order to stop. Specifically, when faced with uncertainty regarding the ASME OM Code requirements, the licensee decision making practices resulted in a non-conservative decision.
Enforcement:
Violation: 10 CFR 50.55a (f)(4) states, Throughout the service life of a boiling or pressurized water-cooled nuclear power facility, pumps and valves that are within the scope of the ASME OM Code must meet the in-service test requirements set forth in the ASME OM Code and addenda that become effective subsequent to editions and addenda specified in paragraphs (f)(2) and
- (3) of this section and that are incorporated by reference in paragraph (a)(1)(iv) of this section, to the extent practical within the limitations of design, geometry, and materials of construction of the components."
The ASME OM Code 2004, 2006 Addenda, Section ISTC-3630, Leakage Rate for Other Than Containment Isolation Valves, states, "Category A valves with leakage requirements not based on an Owners 10 CFR 50, Appendix J program shall be tested to verify their seat leakages are within the acceptable limits."
The ASME Code 2004, 2006 Addenda, Section ISTC-3630(e), "Analysis of Leakage Rates,"
states, "Leakage rate measurements shall be compared with the permissible leakage rates specified by the plant Owner for a specific valve or valve combination. If leakage rates are not specified by the Owner, the following rates shall be permissible:
- (1) for water, 0.5D gpm or 5 gpm, whichever is less, at function differential pressure."
The ASME OM Code 2004, 2006 Addenda, Section ISTC-3630(f) "Corrective Action" states, "Valves or valve combinations with leakage rates exceeding the values specified by the Owner per ISTC -3630(e) shall be declared inoperable and either repaired or replaced.
A retest demonstrating acceptable operation shall be performed following any required corrective action before the valve is returned to service." Contrary to the above, on October 28, 2021, the licensee failed to meet the in-service test requirements set forth in ASME OM Code and addenda. Specifically, the licensee failed to either repair or replace the 2SI-6-4 check valve after the valve failed the ASME OM Code, Subsection 3630(e) leakage requirements.
Enforcement Action: This violation is being treated as a non-cited violation, consistent with Section 2.3.2 of the Enforcement Policy.
Observation: Annual Review of Cooling Water System Leaks 71152 Inspectors conducted an annual review of Cooling Water System leaks and leak related degradation initiated within the last 12 months. The inspectors identified 19 Corrective Action Program (CAP) items that were applicable to the review. Of the 19 items, 10 had been resolved, 4 were in "Working" status and 5 were in "Open" status. The oldest of the "Open" items reviewed was initiated in April of 2021. The inspectors concluded that the licensee appeared to be appropriately identifying, prioritizing, and resolving leaks and leak related degradation associated with the Cooling Water System. All deficiencies were entered into the Corrective Action Program and were being tracked to resolution. The inspectors did not identify any adverse trends or non-compliances with licensee or regulatory requirements. No findings or violations of NRC requirements of more than minor safety significance were identified by the inspectors in the course of this review
Observation: Review of Actions Associated with Technical Specification 5.6.6 71152 and Related License Amendment Request The inspectors reviewed actions associated with Technical Specification 5.5.6 and the License Amendment Request (LAR) to implement Revision 4 of the Westinghouse calculation (WCAP 14040) for developing the Pressure and Temperature Limits curves (PTLR).
In 2009, the station identified the need to implement Revision 4 of Westinghouse Calculation WCAP 14040 to change the PTLR development methodology, and it was included in the MUR (Measurement Uncertainty Recapture) LAR.
In February of 2010, the change in PTLR Methodology was withdrawn from the MUR LAR due to the additional length of time it would take to obtain approval and the need to expedite the MUR LAR.
In 2015, the licensee identified that the Reactor Vessel Fluence Calculations were non-conservative and that the then current calculated fluence values would be exceeded in mid-to late-2020. It was also identified that plant calculations/procedures/documents should be updated prior to exceeding the fluence values so that the PTLR curves could be updated as required.
On December 11, 2018, a LAR to Revise TS 5.6.6 Reference to Westinghouse WCAP 14040 Revision 4 methodology was created. (Change Request 607000000341). This Change Request indicated that it needed to be submitted by August 21, 2020, however, the submittal date has been extended to 2023.
On October 10, 2021, Westinghouse provided a letter to Xcel Energy indicating that there was an error in WCAP 14040 Revision 2 (their current methodology for determining PTLR curves) resulting in non-conservative PTLR curves and recommending implementation of the WCAP 14040 Revision 4 methodology. Because the previously identified and initiated LARs to allow use of the Revision 4 methodology had not been completed, the station was required to implement NEI 15-03 Non-conservative Technical Specification Actions until such time as the LAR to use Revision 4 methodology can be approved.
The inspectors did not identify any non-compliances with licensee or regulatory requirements.
No findings or violations of NRC requirements of more than minor safety significance were identified by the inspectors in the course of this review.
Observation: Annual Review of D6 EDG Corrective Action Documents 71152 Inspectors selected a potential trend of corrective action documents related to leaks on the D6 Emergency Diesel Generator Fuel Oil System for review. The licensee had entered a series of small leaks in the corrective action program. The site addressed the leaks in maintenance notifications and a prompt operability determination. The licensee found the collection of leaks did not have an adverse effect on the system and D6 EDG maintained Operability. The leakage was reduced or corrected in a D6 EDG work window and the site has scheduled some final corrective actions for another upcoming D6 EDG work window.
The inspectors determined that the licensees corrective actions were adequate to address the trend. No Findings or Violations were identified.
Observation: Annual Review of Corrective Actions Associated with Voids Found 71152 in A Train RHR system Inspectors selected a series of void issues exceeding the Operability Limits in the Unit 2 RHR A train subsystem. These issues had been identified by the licensee and entered into the CAP as required by the H64 (GAMP) Gas Accumulation Management Program. The inspectors verified that each of these issues were properly addressed as required by the GAMP and CAP. The CAP directed the Engineering department to complete a Condition Evaluation of the processes, procedures, and schedule order of operations restoring the RHR system from outage to online to identify any issues with procedure order. Although this evaluation, was not completed during this review, the inspectors determined that the licensee was taking the appropriate actions to address the identified voids. No findings or violations were identified.
LER 2021-002-00 Inadvertent Operation of Switchyard Disconnect Resulting in Loss of Electrical Buses and Actuation of a Safety System Cornerstone Significance Cross-Cutting Report Aspect Section Initiating Events Green [H.8] - 71153 NCV 05000282,05000306/2021004-03 Procedure Open/Closed Adherence On October 17, 2021, licensee personnel failed to implement Human Performance (HU) tools during the implementation of a switching procedure leading to procedural non-compliance resulting in a loss of non-vital loads, loss of redundancy to vital buses, actuation of a safety system, and a downpower of the online unit.
Description:
On October 17, 2021, with Unit 1 at 100 percent and Unit 2 in Mode 6, 2RY Transformer was inadvertently de-energized when operations personnel opened the 2RSY/B DISC SW disconnect instead of closing the 2RSX/B DISC SW disconnect per procedure 2D20.5.2RS XFMR U2 SD, 2RS Transformer Isolation and Restoration with Unit 2 Shutdown. Unit 2 impacts included a loss of non-safeguards loads and impacts to several systems including D5 and D6 Emergency Diesel Generators (EDG) and 121 Motor Driven Cooling Water Pump.
In addition, Unit 1 performed a rapid downpower to approximately 95 percent due to a loss of efficiency from the lockout of the Heater Drain Tank Pumps.
The proximity of the components challenged the two non-licensed Operators (NLO)performing the switching operations in the Switchyard. After closing the 2RSX/A DISC SW, one of the NLOs failed to identify that the other went to 2RSY/B DISC instead of the 2RSX/B DISC. As a result, 2RSY/B DISC SW was opened instead of the required action to close the 2RSX/B DISC SW, causing arcing between the disconnects. Opening of the 2RSY/B DISC SW also de-energized the 2RY XFMR resulting in a loss of power to the supported loads as well as other plant impacts as stated.
Corrective Actions: 501000057355 Loss of Power to 2RY Transformer
Corrective Action References: 501000057355 Loss of Power to 2RY Transformer Root Cause Evaluation
Performance Assessment:
Performance Deficiency: On October 17, 2021, with Unit 1 at 100 percent and Unit 2 in Mode 6, Operations personnel failed to utilize Human Performance Tools while performing an electrical switching procedure. This resulted in the 2RY Transformer de-energization when Operations personnel opened the 2RSY/B DISC SW disconnect instead of closing the 2RSX/B DISC SW disconnect per procedure 2D20.5.2RS XFMR U2 SD, 2RS Transformer Isolation and Restoration with Unit 2 Shutdown. This resulted in a loss of redundancy to safety related buses, loss of non-safeguards loads, impacted several systems including D5 and D6 Emergency Diesel Generators (EDG), caused initiation of a safety system, and a power reduction of the online unit.
Screening: The inspectors determined the performance deficiency was more than minor because it was associated with the Human Performance attribute of the Initiating Events cornerstone and adversely affected the cornerstone objective to limit the likelihood of events that upset plant stability and challenge critical safety functions during shutdown as well as power operations. Licensee personnel failed to utilize Human Performance (HU) Tools to ensure procedural compliance during the performance of a switching procedure 2D20.5.2RS XFMR U2 SD, 2RS Transformer Isolation and Restoration with Unit 2 Shutdown.
Significance: The inspectors assessed the significance of the finding using Appendix G, Shutdown Safety SDP. The Inspectors determined that this issue screened to Green in accordance with Inspection Manual Chapter 0609 Appendix G Attachment 1, "Shutdown Operations Significance Determination Process Phase 1 Initial Screening and Characterization of Findings", Exhibit 2 "Initiating Events Screening Questions."
Cross-Cutting Aspect: H.8 - Procedure Adherence: Individuals follow processes, procedures, and work instructions. Licensee personnel failed to utilize Human Performance (HU) Tools to ensure procedural compliance while implementing a substation switching procedure.
Enforcement:
Violation: 10 CFR 50 Appendix B Criterion V, "Instructions, Procedures and Drawings" requires in part that "Activities affecting quality shall be prescribed by documented instructions, procedures, or drawings, of a type appropriate to the circumstances and shall be accomplished in accordance with these instructions, procedures, or drawings. Instructions, procedures, or drawings shall include appropriate quantitative or qualitative acceptance criteria for determining that important activities have been satisfactorily accomplished."
Contrary to the above, on October 17, 2021, the licensee failed to complete activities affecting quality in accordance with approved instructions, procedures, or drawings to ensure satisfactory accomplishment. Specifically, Non-Licensed Operators (NLOs) failed to ensure procedural compliance while performing a switching procedure, resulting in a loss of non-vital loads, a loss of redundancy to vital buses, initiation of a safety system, and a power reduction of the online unit.
Enforcement Action: This violation is being treated as a non-cited violation, consistent with Section 2.3.2 of the Enforcement Policy.
Minor Violation: LER 2021-001-00 for Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plant, 71153 Unit 2, 22 Turbine Driven Auxiliary Feedwater Pump Actuation Signal Due to Procedure Error Minor Violation: On October 3, 2021, with Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plant (PINGP)
Unit 2 in Cold Shutdown, the 22 Turbine Driven Auxiliary Feedwater (AFW) Pump received a valid actuation signal. While performing the prerequisite checklists for a Surveillance Procedure, the 22 Turbine Driven Auxiliary Feedwater (AFW) Pump selector switch in the Main Control Room was placed in Shutdown Auto from Manual. This, combined with having the Non-Safety Related 4160 Volt buses 21 and 22 isolated for maintenance, completed the automatic start signal. 10 CFR 50 Appendix B Criterion V, "Instructions, Procedures, and Drawings", requires in part that "Activities affecting quality shall be prescribed by documented instructions, procedures, or drawings, of a type appropriate to the circumstances and shall be accomplished in accordance with these instructions, procedures, or drawings. Instructions, procedures, or drawings shall include appropriate quantitative or qualitative acceptance criteria for determining that important activities have been satisfactorily accomplished."
Contrary to above, on October 3, 2021, the Licensee failed to ensure activities affecting quality were accomplished in accordance with instructions and procedures appropriate for the circumstances to ensure the activities were satisfactorily accomplished.
Screening: The inspectors determined the performance deficiency was minor. This issue was determined to be minor due to the system being secured for maintenance/testing when the event occurred. The safety system did not initiate and there were no actual consequences.
Enforcement:
This failure to comply with 10 CFR 50 Appendix B Criterion V constitutes a minor violation that is not subject to enforcement action in accordance with the NRCs Enforcement Policy.
