The inspectors evaluated the stations material condition and the licensee's procedures for coping with the expected high wind conditions. As part of this evaluation, the inspectors observed the licensee as they implemented their abnormal operating procedure (AOP) attachment for potential high wind conditions. The observation included walking down the turbine building, primary auxiliary building, and circulating water pump house and validating that the licensee prepared the site for the high wind conditions. Site preparation included validating or closing various overhead doors and, in some instances, installing braces behind overhead doors for additional support. The inspectors also verified that licensee's required surveillances were current. Documents reviewed are listed in the Attachment to this report. This inspection constituted one readiness for impending adverse weather condition sample as defined in inspection procedure (IP) 71111.01-05.

SUBJECT: POINT BEACH NUCLEAR PLANT, UNITS 1 AND 2-NRC INTEGRATED INSPECTION REPORT 05000266/2017003 AND 05000301/2017003

Dear Mr. Coffey:

On September 30, 2017, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed an inspection at your Point Beach Nuclear Plant, Units 1 and 2. On October 10 and

October 25, 2017, the NRC inspectors discussed the results of this inspection with you and other members of your staff. The results of this inspection are documented in the enclosed report. Based on the results of this inspection, the NRC has identified two issues that were evaluated under the risk significance determination process as having very low safety significance (Green). The NRC has also determined that two violations are associated with these issues.

Because the licensee initiated condition reports to address these issues, these violations are being treated as Non-Cited Violations (NCVs), consistent with Section 2.3.2 of the Enforcement Policy. These NCVs are described in the subject inspection report. If you contest the violations or significance of these NCVs, you should provide a response within 30 days of the date of this inspection report, with the basis for your denial, to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, ATTN: Document Control Desk, Washington, DC 20555 0001; with copies to the Regional Administrator, Region III; the Director, Office of Enforcement; and the NRC resident inspector at the Point Beach Nuclear Plant. In addition, if you disagree with a cross-cutting aspect assignment or a finding not associated with a regulatory requirement in this report, you should provide a response within 30 days of the date of this inspection report, with the basis for your disagreement, to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, ATTN: Document Control Desk, Washington, DC 20555-0001; with copies to the Regional Administrator, Region III; and the NRC resident inspector at the Point Beach Nuclear Plant. This letter, its enclosure, and your response (if any) will be made available for public inspection and copying at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html and at the NRC Public Document Room in accordance with 10 CFR 2.390, "Public Inspections, Exemptions, Requests for Withholding."

Sincerely,/RA/

SUMMARY

Inspection Report 05000266/2017003, 05000301/2017003; 06/01/2017 - 09/30/2017; Point Beach Nuclear Plant, Units 1 & 2; Post Maintenance Test and Problem Identification and Resolution. This report covers a 3-month period of inspection by resident inspectors and announced baseline inspections by regional inspectors. Two Green findings were identified by the inspectors. The findings involved non-cited violations (NCVs) of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) requirements. The significance of inspection findings is indicated by their color (i.e., greater than Green, or Green, White, Yellow, Red) and determined using Inspection Manual Chapter (IMC) 0609, "Significance Determination Process," dated April 29, 2015.

Cross-cutting aspects are determined using IMC 0310, "Aspects Within the Cross-Cutting Areas," dated December 4, 2014. All violations of NRC requirements are dispositioned in accordance with the NRC's Enforcement Policy, dated November 1, 2016. The NRC's program for overseeing the safe operation of commercial nuclear power reactors is described in NUREG-1649, "Reactor Oversight Process," Revision 6.

Cornerstone: Mitigating Systems

Green.

A finding of very low safety significance and associated NCV of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion V, "Instructions, Procedures, and Drawings," was identified by the inspectors for the failure to have instructions of a type appropriate to the circumstances. Specifically, the instructions for testing a refurbished safety-related power supply did not contain acceptance criteria to ensure that the power supply voltage output did not exceed the maximum voltage requirements established by the vendor of the downstream level transmitter. Immediate corrective actions included evaluating the voltage output of operating power supplies to ensure the voltage at their associated transmitters was within vendor specifications. The finding was determined to be more than minor because the finding, if left uncorrected, had the potential to lead to a more significant safety concern.

Specifically, power supplies could have been placed back in service producing voltage levels at the downstream safety-related transmitters exceeding their vendor requirements. The inspectors concluded this finding was associated with the Mitigating Systems Cornerstone. The inspectors determined the finding could be evaluated using the Significance Determination Process (SDP) in accordance with IMC 0609, "Significance Determination Process," Attachment 0609.04, "Initial Characterization of Findings," issued on October 7, 2016. Specifically, the inspectors used IMC 0609 Appendix A "SDP for Findings At-Power," issued June 19, 2012, Exhibit 2, "Mitigating Systems Screening Questions" to screen the finding. The finding screened as of very low safety significance (Green) because the inspectors answered "No" to the screening questions. This finding has a cross-cutting aspect in the area of human performance, Design Margins, because the licensee did not ensure that design margins were carefully guarded.

[H.6] (Section 1R19)

Green.

A finding of very low safety significance and associated non-cited violation of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion XVI, "Corrective Action," was identified by the inspectors for the failure to promptly identify and correct degraded structural supports for safety-related cables, a condition adverse to quality. Specifically, the licensee failed to repair or replace degraded service water pump cable supports after they identified the degraded supports in 2011. The licensee was in the process of scheduling the cable support repairs at the end of the inspection period. The inspectors determined that the continued non-compliance does not present an immediate safety concern because, given the weight pressing onto the cables, the insulation should remain intact. The finding was determined to be more than minor because the finding was associated with the Mitigating Systems cornerstone attribute of Reliability and affected the cornerstone objective of ensuring the availability, reliability, and capability of systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences (i.e., core damage). Specifically, the failure of the service water motor cable support allowed the structural beam to drop and metal cable clamps to impinge on the insulation of the 480 volt safety-related cables. The inspectors determined the finding could be evaluated in accordance with IMC 0609,

"Significance Determination Process," Attachment 0609.04, "Initial Characterization of Findings," issued on October 7, 2016. Specifically, the inspectors used IMC 0609 Appendix A "SDP for Findings At-Power," issued June 19, 2012, Exhibit 2, "Mitigating Systems Screening Questions" to screen the finding. The finding screened as of very low safety significance (Green) because the inspectors answered "No" to the screening questions. This finding has a cross-cutting aspect in the area of human performance, Conservative Bias, because the licensee did not use decision making-practices that emphasize prudent choices overt those that are simply allowed.

REACTOR SAFETY

Cornerstone:

Initiating Events, Mitigating Systems, and Barrier Integrity

1R01 Adverse Weather Protection

.1 Readiness for Impending Adverse Weather Condition-High Wind Conditions

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors evaluated the stations material condition and the licensee's procedures for coping with the expected high wind conditions. As part of this evaluation, the inspectors observed the licensee as they implemented their abnormal operating procedure (AOP) attachment for potential high wind conditions. The observation included walking down the turbine building, primary auxiliary building, and circulating water pump house and validating that the licensee prepared the site for the high wind conditions. Site preparation included validating or closing various overhead doors and, in some instances, installing braces behind overhead doors for additional support. The inspectors also verified that licensee's required surveillances were current. Documents reviewed are listed in the Attachment to this report. This inspection constituted one readiness for impending adverse weather condition sample as defined in inspection procedure (IP)

71111.01 - 05.

b. Findings

No findings were identified.

1R04 Equipment Alignment

.1 Quarterly Partial System Walkdowns

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors performed partial system walkdowns of the following risk-significant systems:

  • P-35A, electric fire pump with P-35B out-of-service (OOS);
  • Unit 1 P-15B, safety injection pump after testing; and
  • Unit 1 P-14A, containment spray pump with P-14B OOS. The inspectors selected these systems based on their risk significance relative to the Reactor Safety Cornerstones at the time they were inspected. The inspectors attempted to identify any discrepancies that could impact the function of the system and, therefore, potentially increase risk. The inspectors reviewed applicable operating procedures, system diagrams, Updated Final Safety Analysis Report (UFSAR), Technical Specification (TS) requirements, outstanding work orders (WOs), condition reports, and the impact of ongoing work activities on redundant trains of equipment in order to identify conditions that could have rendered the systems incapable of performing their intended functions. The inspectors also walked down accessible portions of the systems to verify system components and support equipment were aligned correctly and operable.

The inspectors examined the material condition of the components and observed operating parameters of equipment to verify that there were no obvious deficiencies.

The inspectors also verified that the licensee had properly identified and resolved equipment alignment problems that could cause initiating events or impact the capability of mitigating systems or barriers and entered them into the corrective action program (CAP) with the appropriate significance characterization. Documents reviewed are listed in the Attachment to this report. These activities constituted three partial system walkdown sample as defined in IP

71111.04 - 05.

b. Findings

No findings were identified.

1R05 Fire Protection

.1 Routine Resident Inspector Tours

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors conducted fire protection walkdowns, which were focused on availability, accessibility, and the condition of firefighting equipment in the following risk-significant plant areas:

  • Fire Zones 300, 301, and 303, Unit 1 Turbine Building 8 Foot Elevation;
  • Fire Zone 319, Unit 1 Turbine Building 26 Foot Elevation;
  • Fire Zone 318, Cable Spreading Room;
  • Fire Zone 166, 2B32 MCC Room; and
  • Fire Zone 680; Station Auxiliary Transformers. The inspectors reviewed areas to assess if the licensee had implemented a fire protection program that adequately controlled combustibles and ignition sources within the plant, effectively maintained fire detection and suppression capability, maintained passive fire protection features in good material condition, and implemented adequate compensatory measures for OOS, degraded or inoperable fire protection equipment, systems, or features in accordance with the licensee's fire plan. The inspectors selected fire areas based on their overall contribution to internal fire risk as documented in the plant's Individual Plant Examination of External Events with later additional insights, their potential to impact equipment, which could initiate or mitigate a plant transient, or their impact on the plant's ability to respond to a security event. Using the documents listed in the Attachment to this report, the inspectors verified that fire hoses and extinguishers were in their designated locations and available for immediate use; that fire detectors and sprinklers were unobstructed; that transient material loading was within the analyzed limits; and fire doors, dampers, and penetration seals appeared to be in satisfactory condition. The inspectors also verified that minor issues identified during the inspection were entered into the licensee's CAP. Documents reviewed are listed in the Attachment to this report. These activities constituted five quarterly fire protection inspection samples as defined in IP

71111.05 - 05.

b. Findings

No findings were identified.

.2 Annual Fire Protection Drill Observation

a. Inspection Scope

On August 14, 2017, the inspectors observed a fire brigade activation for a simulated fire in the 13.8KV switchgear building. Based on this observation, the inspectors evaluated the readiness of the plant fire brigade to fight fires. The inspectors verified that the licensee staff identified deficiencies openly discussed them in a self-critical manner at the drill debrief, and took appropriate corrective actions. Specific attributes evaluated were:

  • proper wearing of turnout gear and self-contained breathing apparatus;
  • proper use and layout of fire hoses;
  • employment of appropriate firefighting techniques;
  • sufficient firefighting equipment brought to the scene;
  • effectiveness of fire brigade leader communications, command, and control;
  • search for victims and propagation of the fire into other plant areas;
  • utilization of pre-planned strategies;
  • adherence to the pre-planned drill scenario; and
  • drill objectives. Documents reviewed are listed in the Attachment to this report. These activities constituted one annual fire protection inspection sample as defined in IP

71111.05 - 05.

b. Findings

No findings were identified.

1R06 Flooding

.1 Underground Vaults

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors selected underground bunkers/manholes subject to flooding that contained cables whose failure could disable risk-significant equipment. The inspectors determined that the cables were not submerged, that splices were intact, and that appropriate cable support structures were in place. In those areas where dewatering devices were used, such as a sump pump, the device was operable and level alarm circuits were set appropriately to ensure that the cables would not be submerged. In those areas without dewatering devices, the inspectors verified that drainage of the area was available, or that the cables were qualified for submergence conditions. The inspectors also reviewed the licensee's corrective action documents with respect to past submerged cable issues identified in the corrective action program to verify the adequacy of the corrective actions. The inspectors performed a walkdown of the following underground bunkers/manholes subject to flooding:

  • Z-65B, service water cable vault. Documents reviewed are listed in the Attachment to this report.

This inspection constituted one underground vault sample as defined in IP

71111.06 - 05.

b. Findings

1R11 Licensed Operator Requalification Program

.1 Resident Inspector Quarterly Review of Licensed Operator Requalification

a. Inspection Scope

On August 21, 2017, the inspectors observed a crew of licensed operators in the plant's simulator during licensed operator requalification training. The inspectors verified that operator performance was adequate, evaluators were identifying and documenting crew performance problems, and that training was being conducted in accordance with licensee procedures. The inspectors evaluated the following areas:

  • licensed operator performance;
  • crew's clarity and formality of communications;
  • ability to take timely actions in the conservative direction;
  • prioritization, interpretation, and verification of annunciator alarms;
  • correct use and implementation of abnormal and emergency procedures;
  • control board manipulations;
  • oversight and direction from supervisors; and
  • ability to identify and implement appropriate TS actions and Emergency Plan actions and notifications.

The crew's performance in these areas was compared to pre-established operator action expectations and successful critical task completion requirements. Documents reviewed are listed in the Attachment to this report. This inspection constituted one quarterly licensed operator requalification program simulator sample as defined in IP

71111.11 - 05 and satisfied the inspection program requirement for the resident inspectors to observe a portion of an in-progress annual requalification operating test during a training cycle in which it was not observed by the NRC during the biennial portion of this IP.

- The inspectors conducted a detailed review of ten job performance measures (JPMs) and four simulator scenarios to assess content, level of difficulty, and quality of the operating test materials. (02.04)

- The inspectors observed the administration of the annual operating test to assess the licensee's effectiveness in conducting the examination(s),

including the conduct of pre-examination briefings, evaluations of individual operator and crew performance, and post-examination analysis. The inspectors evaluated the performance of one crew in parallel with the facility

evaluators during two dynamic simulator scenarios, and evaluated various licensed crew members concurrently with facility evaluators during the administration of several JPMs. (02.05)

- The inspectors assessed the adequacy and effectiveness of the remedial training conducted since the last requalification examinations and the training planned for the current examination cycle to ensure that they addressed weaknesses in licensed operator or crew performance identified during training and plant operations. The inspectors reviewed remedial training procedures and individual remedial training plans. (02.07)

  • Conformance with Examination Security Requirements (10 CFR 55.49): The inspectors conducted an assessment of the licensee's processes related to examination physical security and integrity (e.g., predictability and bias) to verify compliance with 10 CFR 55.49, "Integrity of Examinations and Tests."

The inspectors observed the implementation of physical security controls (e.g., access restrictions and simulator input/output controls) and integrity measures (e.g., security agreements, sampling criteria, bank use, and test item repetition) throughout the inspection period. (02.06)

  • Conformance with Operator License Conditions (10 CFR 55.53): The inspectors reviewed the facility licensee's program for maintaining active operator licenses and to assess compliance with 10 CFR 55.53(e) and (f). The inspectors reviewed the procedural guidance and the process for tracking on-shift hours for licensed operators, and which control room positions were granted watch-standing credit for maintaining active operator licenses. Additionally, medical records for seven licensed operators were reviewed for compliance with 10 CFR 55.53(I). (02.08)
  • Conformance with Simulator Requirements Specified in (10 CFR 55.46): The inspectors assessed the adequacy of the licensee's simulation facility (simulator) for use in operator licensing examinations and for satisfying experience requirements. The inspectors reviewed a sample of simulator performance test records (e.g., transient tests, malfunction tests, scenario based tests, post-event tests, steady state tests, and core performance tests), simulator discrepancies, and the process for ensuring continued assurance of simulator fidelity in accordance with 10 CFR 55.46. The inspectors reviewed and evaluated the discrepancy corrective action process to ensure that simulator

fidelity was being maintained. Open simulator discrepancies were reviewed for importance relative to the impact on 10 CFR 55.45 and 55.59 operator actions as well as on nuclear and thermal hydraulic operating characteristics. (02.09)

  • Problem-Identification and Resolution (10 CFR 55.59(c); SAT element 5 as defined in 10 CFR 55.4): The inspectors assessed the licensee's ability to identify, evaluate, and resolve problems associated with licensed operator performance (a measure of the effectiveness of its LORT program and their ability to implement appropriate corrective actions to maintain its LORT Program up to date).

The inspectors assessed performance issues with respect to the reliability, availability, and condition monitoring of the system. In addition, the inspectors verified maintenance effectiveness issues were entered into the CAP with the appropriate significance characterization. Documents reviewed are listed in the Attachment to this report. These inspections constituted three quarterly maintenance effectiveness samples as defined in IP

71111.12 - 05.

b. Findings

No findings were identified.

1R13 Maintenance Risk Assessments and Emergent Work Control

.1 Maintenance Risk Assessments and Emergent Work Control

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors reviewed the licensee's evaluation and management of plant risk for the maintenance and emergent work activities affecting risk-significant and safety-related equipment listed below to verify that the appropriate risk assessments were performed prior to removing equipment for work:

  • July 27, 2017, feedwater flow transmitter FT-466;
  • July 31, 2017, 1PT-429, pressurizer pressure red channel OOS with switchyard maintenance in progress;
  • August 15, 2017, diesel-driven fire pump and 2P-2B charging pump OOS with switchyard maintenance in progress; and
  • September 18, 2017, 1P-29 turbine-driv en auxiliary feedwater pump OOS with switchyard maintenance in progress. These activities were selected based on their potential risk significance relative to the Reactor Safety Cornerstones. As applicable for each activity, the inspectors verified that risk assessments were performed as required by 10 CFR 50.65(a)(4) and were accurate and complete. When emergent work was performed, the inspectors verified that the plant risk was promptly reassessed and managed. The inspectors reviewed the scope of maintenance work, discussed the results of the assessment with the licensee's probabilistic risk analyst or shift technical advisor, and verified plant conditions were consistent with the risk assessment. The inspectors also reviewed TS requirements and walked down portions of redundant safety systems, when applicable, to verify risk analysis assumptions were valid, and applicable requirements were met. Documents reviewed during this inspection are listed in the Attachment to this report. These maintenance risk assessments and emergent work control activities constituted five samples as defined in IP

71111.13 - 05.

b. Findings

No findings were identified.

1R15 Operability Determinations and Functional Assessments

.1 Operability Evaluations

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors reviewed the following issues:

  • foreign material found in Unit 1 containment;
  • control room alarm buzzer not always working;
  • 2N-31 nuclear instrument counts affected by cable movement;
  • degraded supports in Z-65A/Z-65B vaults.

The inspectors selected these potential operability issues based on the risk significance of the associated components and systems. The inspectors evaluated the technical adequacy of the evaluations to ensure that TS operability was properly justified and the subject component or system remained available such that no unrecognized increase in risk occurred. The inspectors compared the operability and design criteria in the appropriate sections of the TS and UFSAR to the licensee's evaluations to determine

whether the components or systems were operable. Where compensatory measures were required to maintain operability, the inspectors determined whether the measures in place would function as intended and were properly controlled. The inspectors determined, where appropriate, compliance with bounding limitations associated with the evaluations. Additionally, the inspectors reviewed a sampling of corrective action documents to verify that the licensee was identifying and correcting any deficiencies associated with operability evaluations. Documents reviewed are listed in the Attachment to this report. These operability inspections constituted five samples as defined in IP

71111.15 - 05.

b. Findings

  • 1LQ-428, Unit 1 pressurizer level power supply after refurbishment;
  • 2P-2C, charging pump after maintenance;
  • 1SI-856B; residual heat removal suction valve from refueling water storage tank. These activities were selected based upon the structure, system, or component's ability to impact risk. The inspectors evaluated these activities for the following (as applicable):

the effect of testing on the plant had been adequately addressed; testing was adequate for the maintenance performed; acceptance criteria were clear and demonstrated operational readiness; test instrumentation was appropriate; tests were performed as written in accordance with properly reviewed and approved procedures; equipment was returned to its operational status following testing (temporary modifications or jumpers required for test performance were properly removed after test completion); and test

documentation was properly evaluated. The inspectors evaluated the activities against TSs, the UFSAR, 10 CFR Part 50 requirements, licensee procedures, and various NRC generic communications to ensure that the test results adequately ensured that the equipment met the licensing basis and design requirements. In addition, the inspectors reviewed corrective action documents associated with post-maintenance tests to determine whether the licensee was identifying problems and entering them in the CAP and that the problems were being corrected commensurate with their importance to safety. Documents reviewed are listed in the Attachment to this report. These inspections constituted five post-maintenance testing samples as defined in IP

71111.19 - 05.

b. Findings

(1) Inappropriate Instructions For Testing Safety-Related Power Supplies
Introduction:

A finding of very low safety significance and associated NCV of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion V, "Instructions, Procedures, and Drawings," was identified by the inspectors for the failure to have instructions of a type appropriate to the circumstances. Specifically, the instructions for testing a refurbished safety-related power supply did not contain acceptance criteria to ensure that the power supply voltage output did not exceed the maximum voltage requirements established by the vendor of the downstream level transmitter.

Description:

While inspecting the refurbishment and testing of LQ-428, a power supply for a pressurizer level transmitter, the inspectors observed that the work order contained testing requirements to ensure that the power supply produced a minimum voltage, but did not have any acceptance criteria to ensure the power supply output was below a maximum voltage. A review of the vendor documentation for the pressurizer level transmitter found that it had a maximum voltage requirement of 48 volts. The inspectors

reviewed a previously accepted value of power supply output, which was measured in milliamps and converted to voltage, and found that it was approximately 46 volts. The power supply is designed to produce 43 volts plus or minus 2.15 volts, producing an upper limit of 45.15 volts. The inspectors were concerned that without a maximum voltage acceptance criteria, the power supply could be returned to service with a voltage output that exceeded the vendor recommendations for the pressurizer level transmitter.

The inspectors discussed their concern with the licensee. The licensee agreed with the inspectors concerns and entered the issue into their CAP. Additionally, the inspectors found that the acceptance criteria for the power supply post-maintenance testing was taken from the licensee's calibration procedures, which tested the power supply voltage periodically. The inspectors reviewed previous performances of the calibration procedures and found that some of the power supplies were returned to service with voltage levels above the power supply specifications and the transmitter requirements. The inspectors reviewed the vendor documentation for the transmitters associated with those power supplies and found that they had a maximum voltage requirement of 45 volts. The inspectors communicated their concerns to the licensee. The licensee entered the issue into their CAP and completed an immediate operability determination. The licensee concluded that the resistance across additional components within the transmitter and power supply loop circuit would cause enough of a voltage drop to ensure that the transmitters' voltage requirements would not be exceeded. The licensee also assigned a prompt operability determination to formally assess and document the issue and its extent of condition.

Analysis:

The inspectors determined that failing to have instructions of a type appropriate to the circumstances was contrary to 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion V and was a performance deficiency. The finding was determined to be more than minor because the finding, if left uncorrected, had the potential to lead to a more significant safety concern. Specifically, power supplies could have been placed back in service producing voltage levels at the downstream safety-related transmitters that exceeding their vendor requirements. The inspectors concluded this finding was associated with the Mitigating Systems Cornerstone. The inspectors determined the finding could be evaluated using the SDP in accordance with IMC 0609, "Significance Determination Process," Attachment 0609.04, "Initial Characterization of Findings," issued on October 7, 2016. Specifically, the inspectors used IMC 0609 Appendix A "SDP for Findings At-Power," issued June 19, 2012, Exhibit 2, "Mitigating Systems Screening Questions" to screen the finding. The finding screened as of very low safety significance (Green) because the inspectors answered "No" to the screening questions. Specifically, the finding did not result in a loss of operability for the safety-related transmitters. This finding has a cross-cutting aspect in the area of human performance, Design Margins (H.6), because the licensee did not ensure that design margins were carefully guarded. Specifically, after refurbishing safety-related power supplies, the licensee's post-maintenance test instructions did not have upper acceptance criteria to ensure that the voltage output was less than the vendor prescribed maximum voltage for downstream transmitter.

Enforcement:

Title 10 CFR Part 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 completed.

Contrary to this requirement, on August 2, 2017, the licensee failed to ensure that activities affecting quality were prescribed by documented instructions of a type appropriate to the circumstances. Specifically, WO 40472738, did not contain acceptance criteria to ensure that the power supply voltage output did not exceed the power supply design range or the maximum allowed voltage for the downstream transmitter. Because the violation was of very low safety significance and was entered into the licensee's corrective action program as action request (AR) 2224407 and 2228184, this violation is being treated as an NCV, consistent with Section 2.3.2 of the NRC Enforcement Policy. Immediate corrective actions included evaluating the voltage output of operating power supplies to ensure the voltage at their associated transmitters was within vendor specifications.

RADIATION SAFETY

Cornerstones: Public Radiation Safety and Occupational Radiation Safety

2RS7 Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program

.1 Site Inspection (02.02)

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors walked down select air sampling stations and dosimeter monitoring stations to determine whether they were located as described in the Offsite Dose Calculation Manual (ODCM) and to determine the equipment material condition. The inspectors reviewed calibration and maintenance records for select air samplers, dosimeters, and composite water samplers to evaluate whether they demonstrated adequate operability of these components. The inspectors assessed whether the licensee had initiated sampling of other appropriate media upon loss of a required sampling station. The inspectors observed the collection and preparation of environmental samples from select environmental media to determine if environmental sampling was representative of the release pathways specified in the ODCM and if sampling techniques were in accordance with procedures. The inspectors assessed whether the meteorological instruments were operable, calibrated, and maintained in accordance with guidance contained in the Final Safety

Analysis Report, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Regulatory Guide 1.23, "Meteorological Monitoring Programs for Nuclear Power Plants," and licensee procedures. The inspectors assessed whether the meteorological data readout and recording instruments were operable. The inspectors evaluated whether missed and/or anomalous environmental samples were identified and reported in the annual environmental monitoring report. The inspectors selected events that involved a missed sample, inoperable sampler, lost dosimeter, or anomalous measurement to determine if the licensee had identified the cause and had implemented corrective actions. The inspectors reviewed the licensee's assessment of any positive sample results and reviewed any associated radioactive effluent release data that was the source of the released material. The inspectors selected structures, systems, or components that involve or could reasonably involve a credible mechanism for licensed material to reach ground water, and assessed whether the licensee had implemented a sampling and monitoring program sufficient to detect leakage to ground water. The inspectors evaluated whether records important to decommissioning, as required by 10 CFR 50.75(g), were retained in a retrievable manner. The inspectors reviewed any significant changes made by the licensee to the ODCM as the result of changes to the land census, long-term meteorological conditions, or modifications to the sampler stations since the last inspection. The inspectors reviewed technical justifications for any changed sampling locations to evaluate whether the licensee performed the reviews required to ensure that the changes did not affect its ability to monitor the impacts of radioactive effluent releases on the environment. The inspectors assessed whether the appropriate detection sensitivities with respect to the ODCM where used for counting samples. The inspectors reviewed the Quality

Control Program for analytical analysis. The inspectors reviewed the results of the licensee's Interlaboratory Comparison Program to evaluate the adequacy of environmental sample analyses performed by the licensee. The inspectors assessed whether the interlaboratory comparison test included the media/nuclide mix appropriate for the facility. The inspectors reviewed the licensee's determination of any bias to the data and the overall effect on the Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program. These inspection activities constituted one complete sample as defined in IP

71124.07 - 05.

b. Findings

No findings were identified.

.2 Groundwater Protection Initiative Implementation (02.03)

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors reviewed monitoring results of the groundwater protection initiative to evaluate whether the licensee had implemented the program as intended and to assess whether the licensee had identified and addressed anomalous results and missed samples.

The inspectors evaluated the licensee's implementation of the minimization of contamination and survey aspects of the groundwater protection initiative and the Decommissioning Planning Rule requirements in 10 CFR 20.1406 and 10 CFR 20.1501. The inspectors reviewed leak and spill events and 10 CFR 50.75

(g) records and assessed whether the source of the leak or spill was identified and appropriately mitigated. The inspectors assessed whether unmonitored leaks and spills where evaluated to determine the type and amount of radioactive material that was discharged. The inspectors assessed whether the licensee completed offsite notifications in accordance with procedure. The inspectors reviewed evaluations of discharges from onsite contaminated surface water bodies and the potential for ground water leakage from them. The inspectors assessed whether the licensee properly accounted for these discharges as part of the effluent release reports. The inspectors assessed whether onsite ground water sample results and descriptions of any significant on-site leaks or spills into ground water were documented in the Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report or the Annual Radiological Effluent Release Report. The inspectors determined whether significant new effluent discharge points where updated in the ODCM and the assumptions for dose calculations were updated as needed.

b. Findings

(1) Service Water Cable Support Failure
Introduction:

A finding of very low safety significance and associated non-cited violation of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion XVI, "Corrective Action," was identified by the inspectors for the failure to promptly identify and correct degraded structural supports for safety-related cables, a condition adverse to quality. Specifically, the licensee failed to repair or replace degraded service water pump cable supports after they identified the degraded supports in 2011.

Description:

During an inspection of the licensee's underground cable vaults on August 23, 2017, the inspectors observed that a structural support within the cable vault had failed. The metal edges of cable clamps, which were mounted on the bottom side of the failed support, were found to be pressing into the insulation of safety-related service water pump motor cables located below. The licensee entered the condition into their CAP and performed an operability determination on the service water cables. The operability determination concluded that the service water cables were operable but

nonconforming. The inspectors' review of the licensee's CAP found that, in April of 2011, the licensee documented that the cable supports were rusting and had almost degraded to the point of failure. The inspectors found that the licensee performed condition evaluations in 2011, which also assigned corrective actions and work orders to replace the rusting structural supports. The inspectors reviewed the cable support work orders and found that they had been delayed in their original planning process and were subsequently rescheduled multiple times through the time period of concern.

Analysis:

The inspectors determined that failing to repair the degraded service water cable supports, a condition adverse to quality, was contrary to 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion XVI and was a performance deficiency. The finding was determined to be more than minor because the finding was associated with the Mitigating Systems cornerstone attribute of Reliability and affected the cornerstone objective of ensuring the availability, reliability, and capability of systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences. (i.e., core damage). Specifically, the failure of the service water motor cable support, allowed the structural beam to drop and metal cable clamps to impinge on the insulation of the 480 volt safety-related cables. The inspectors determined the finding could be evaluated using the SDP in accordance with IMC 0609, "Significance Determination Process," Attachment 0609.04, "Initial Characterization of Findings," issued on October 7, 2016. Specifically, the inspectors used IMC 0609 Appendix A "SDP for Findings At-Power," issued June 19, 2012, Exhibit 2, "Mitigating Systems Screening Questions" to screen the finding. The finding screened as of very low safety significance (Green) because the inspectors answered "No" to the screening questions. Specifically, the finding did not result in a loss of operability for the service water pumps. This finding has a cross-cutting aspect in the area of human performance, Conservative Bias (H.14), because the licensee did not use decision making-practices that emphasize

prudent choices over those that are simply allowed. Specifically, once identified, the licensee eventually planned the repairs on the cable supports, but then rescheduled the repairs multiple times over the six-year period, and did not complete the repairs before the cable supports failed.

Enforcement:

Title 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion XVI, "Corrective Action," states, in part, that measures shall be established to assure that conditions adverse to quality (CAQs), such as failures, malfunctions, deficiencies, deviations, defective material and equipment, and non-conformances, are promptly identified and corrected. Contrary to the above, since April 14, 2011, the licensee failed to assure that CAQs, such as failures, malfunctions, deficiencies, deviations, defective material and equipment, and non-conformances, were promptly identified and corrected. Specifically, on April 14, 2011, the licensee identified that the cable supports for the safety-related service water pump motor cables were rusting, degraded, and near failure, which is a CAQ. They documented the issue in their CAP as AR 01641275. The licensee closed AR 01641275 on September 13, 2011, after creating work orders 40080735 and 40080737 to correct the condition; however, the work orders are not completed and the supports are not repaired. The licensee was in the process of scheduling the cable support repairs at the end of the inspection period. The inspectors determined that the continued non-compliance does not present an immediate safety concern because, given the weight pressing onto the cables, the insulation should remain intact.

Because this violation was of very-low safety significance and was entered into the licensee's CAP as AR 2229666, this violation is being treated as a NCV, consistent with Section 2.3.2.a of the NRC Enforcement Policy.

Reports and URIs Potentially Affecting Safety System Functional Failure Performance Indicator

a. Inspection Scope

The NRC documented a unresolved item (URI) during the fourth quarter of 2011 (ADAMS Accession Number ML12030A225) related to whether or not the licensee should have reported some equipment issues as safety system functional failures in the performance indicators reported to the NRC. S pecifically, when it was identified that the emergency diesel generator exhaust stacks were not adequately missile protected, the licensee reported the condition in accordance with 10 CFR 50.73, but did not annotate the condition as a safety system functional failure. The inspectors were concerned that the condition could adversely impact the li censee's ability to perform its mitigation strategies. In addition, there were open questions related to the seismic qualifications of the condensate storage tanks and the operability of the residual heat removal pumps from internal flooding which also had the ability to affect the reported performance indicator. The inspectors identified this issue as a URI pending a review of the completed assessments and submittals of the required information (10 CFR 50.73 reports and/or performance indicator data.). The Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation reviewed the seismic concern and the internal flooding concern and inspectors in the Region III Division of Reactor Safety reviewed the concerns surrounding the emergency diesel generators. Neither review identified any deficiencies with the information submitted to the NRC. Based on the above assessment, the inspectors determined that no performance deficiencies or violations of regulatory requirements of safety significance existed. The inspectors had no further concerns in this area. Documents reviewed are listed in the Attachment to this report. This URI is closed.

b. Findings

No findings were identified.
