SUMMARY OF FINDINGS
Inspection Report (IR) 05000237/2012005, 05000249/2012005; 10/01/2012
- 12/31/2012;
Dresden Nuclear Power Station, Units 2 & 3; Adverse Weather Protection and Maintenance Risk Assessments and Emergent Work Control.
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. These findings were considered non-cited violation s (N CV s) of NRC regulations. The significance of most findings is indicated by their color (Green, White, Yellow, Red) using Inspection Manual Chapter (IMC) 0609, "Significance Determination Process" (SDP). Findings for which the SDP does not apply may be Green or be assigned a severity level after NRC management review.
The NRC's program for overseeing the safe operation of commercial nuclear power reactors is described in NUREG
-1649, "Reactor Oversight Process," Revision 4, dated December 2006. A. N RC-Identified and Self-Revealed Findings
Cornerstone: Mitigating Systems
GreenThe finding was determined to be more than minor because the finding was similar to IMC 0612, Appendix E, Example 4.a. In this example the failure to write an engineering evaluation was not more than minor; however, the example states the failure to write engineering evaluations on similar issues was more than minor. The reason this violation is similar to IMC 0612, Appendix E, Example 4.a, is that the environmental conditions necessary to enter DOA 57001
-01 existed 21 times between October 5, 2012 and November 6, 2012. Therefore this performance deficiency also impacted the Mitigating System Cornerstone objective of ensuring the availability, reliability, and capability of systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences. The inspectors evaluated the finding using IMC 0609, "Significance Determination Process," Appendix A, "The SDP for Findings At-Power," The inspectors reviewed IMC 0609, Appendix A, Exhibit 2, "Mitigating Systems Screening Questions
," dated June 19, 2012, and answered all four questions NO. Therefore the issue screened as having very low safety significance. This finding has a cross-cutting aspect in the area of problem identification and resolution, because the licensee did not take appropriate corrective actions. Specifically, the licensee was aware that the plant heating boilers were not available and that temperatures were dropping below freezing
. The inspectors identified a finding of very low safety significance and associated NCV of Technical Specification 5.4.1.a for the failure to follow an abnormal operating procedure. Specifically, abnormal operating procedure (DOA) 5700
-01, "Loss of Heating Boilers," Revision 12, required per step D.5 monitoring and logging temperatures per Checklists 1 and 2 at specific locations within and outside the plant when outside ambient temperature was below 40 degrees Fahrenheit. The licensee failed to enter DOA 5700-01 and perform the required Checklists even though the outside ambient temperatures dropped below 40 degrees 21 times between October and November 6, 2012. The licensee's corrective actions include revising procedures DOA 5700
-01 and DOS 0010-22 to remove inconsistencies and creating a method for ensuring plant temperature monitoring is performed in all required locations in accordance with proceduralized compensatory measures.
and did not enter the appropriate procedures to ensure the plant was adequately protected from the weather (P.1(d)). (Section 1R01.1) GreenThe inspectors determined that this performance deficiency is a finding and greater than minor because the licensee failed to perform a complete risk assessment including failing to review PARAGON, the licensee's configuration risk management software, prior to commencing the maintenance task and as a result did not implement prescribed risk management actions of posting signs and barricades to protect the Unit 2 250 Vdc battery equipment during the Unit 3 250 Vdc battery work window; which is similar to Example 7.f in IMC 0612, Appendix E. The inspectors performed a Phase screening with assistance from the Regional Senior Reactor Analyst (SRA) using IMC 0609, Appendix K, "Maintenance Risk Assessment and Risk Management Significance Determination Process," Flowchart 2, "Assessment of Risk Management Actions."
The licensee provided core damage frequency (CDF) and large early release frequency (LERF) risk increase factors of 1.49 and 1.50, respectively, for the maintenance configuration, and a zero baseline CDF of 3.5E
-6/yr. Given these values and assuming a maximum duration of 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> that the RMAs were not implemented, the SRA calculated an incremental core damage probability (ICDP) and incremental large early release probability (ICLERP) of 1.4E
-8. Using flowchart 2, the finding was determined to be of very low safety significance (Green) because the ICDP was less than 1E
-6 and ILERP was less than 1E
-7. This finding has a cross-cutting aspect in the area of Human Performance, Work Practices, Procedural Compliance because the licensee failed to conduct an adequate risk assessment prior to commencing maintenance activities and as such did not perform risk management actions required by procedure OP
-AA-108-117, resulting in the missed postings for the protected pathway equipment (H.4(b)).
(Section 1R13)
. A finding of very low safety significance and associated NCV of 10 CFR 50.65(a)(4), Maintenance Rule, was identified by the inspectors for the licensee's failure to implement all necessary prescribed risk management actions during a Unit 3 250 Vdc battery system maintenance and testing window. Specifically, the licensee failed to post protected equipment signs for the Unit systems whose unavailability would have taken the unit into a Red risk condition. The licensee entered this issue into their corrective action program
. B. A violation of very l ow safety significance that was identified by the licensee has been reviewed by inspectors. Corrective actions planned or taken by the licensee have been entered into the licensee's corrective action program. This violation and corrective action tracking number is listed in Section 4OA7 of this report.

1R01 Adverse Weather Protection
.1
a. Winter Seasonal Readiness Preparations The inspectors conducted a review of the licensee's preparations for winter conditions to verify that the plant's design features and implementation of procedures were sufficient to protect mitigating systems from the effects of adverse weather. Documentation for selected risk
-significant systems was reviewed to ensure that these systems would remain functional when challenged by inclement weather. During the inspection, the inspectors focused on plant specific design features and the licensee's procedures used to mitigate or respond to adverse weather conditions. Additionally, the inspectors reviewed the Updated Final Safety Analysis Report (UFSAR) and performance requirements for systems selected for inspection, and verified that operator actions were appropriate as specified by plant specific procedures. Cold weather protection, such as heat tracing and area heaters, was verified to be in operation where applicable. The inspectors also reviewed corrective action program (CAP) items to verify that the licensee was identifying adverse weather issues at an appropriate threshold and entering them into their CAP in accordance with station corrective action procedures.
Specific documents reviewed during this inspection are listed in the Attachment to this report. The inspectors' reviews focused specifically on the following plant systems due to their risk significance or susceptibility to cold weather issues:
Inspection Scope Condensate Storage Tanks Fire Protection; and Diesel Generator Cooling Water. This inspection constituted one winter seasonal readiness preparations sample as defined in Inspection Procedure (IP) 71111.01-05.

b. Findings
Introduction
- A finding of very low safety significance (Green) and associated non
-cited violation (NCV) of Technical Specifications (TSs) was identified by the inspectors for the failure to follow procedures DOA 5700
-01, "Loss of Heating Boilers," Revision 12, DOS 0010-23, "Initiation of Cold Weather Operations For Unit 2," Revision 7, and DOS 0010-26, "Initiation of Cold Weather Operations For Unit 3," Revision 6. Description "IF at any time the plant heating boilers are off line and outside ambient temperature is predicted to reach 32 degrees Fahrenheit or less, THEN perform Attachment A, In Plant Temperature vs. Outside Ambient Temperature with Heating Boilers Offline.
" : The inspectors reviewed the licensee's preparation for cold weather on November 6, 2012. The inspectors were told that both plant heating boilers were in the process of being replaced and were not yet prepared to be placed in service. The inspectors reviewed all the licensee's procedures for cold weather preparation and implementation. The inspectors identified that procedures DOS 0010-23, "Initiation of Cold Weather Operations For Unit 2," Revision 7, and DOS 0010-26, "Initiation of Cold Weather Operations For Unit 3," Revision 6, Step I.1, states:
The inspectors identified that the outside ambient temperature had been 32 degrees or lower 5 times between October 6 and November 6, 2012, and that DOS 0010-23 and DOS 0010-26, Attachment A had not been performed. The inspectors reviewed Attachment A and identified that different instructions were given if the temperature got below 32 degrees, 30 degrees, and 25 degrees. But all the instructions included monitoring temperatures per DOA 5700-01, "Loss of Heating Boilers."
The inspectors reviewed DOA 5700-01. This procedure required per step D.5 monitoring and logging temperatures per Checklists 1 and 2 at specific locations within and outside the plant when outside ambient temperature was below 40 degrees Fahrenheit. The inspectors identified that outside ambient temperatures got below 40 degrees 21 times between October 5, 2012 and November 6, 2012, and that DOA 5700-01, Checklists 1 and 2 had not been performed.
The inspectors also identified that procedures DOA 5700-01 and DOS 0010-23 and DOS 0010-26 appeared to contradict one another. Procedure DOA 5700-01 required monitoring inside and outside plant temperatures if outside ambient temperatures got below 40 degrees while procedures DOS 0010-23 and DOS 0010-26 only required monitoring temperatures if outside ambient temperature reached 32 degrees. The Shift Manager was made aware of these issues on November 7, 2012, and wrote IR1437069, "NRC SRI Question."
The inspectors noted that the licensee eliminated procedure DOS 0010-23 and replaced it with procedure DOS 0010-22 during the inspection period for reasons not associated with this violation.
AnalysisThe finding was determined to be more than minor because the finding was similar to Inspection Manual Chapter (IMC) 0612, Appendix E, Example 4.a. In this example the failure to write an engineering evaluation was not more than minor
- however, the example states the failure to write engineering evaluations routinely on similar issues
- The inspectors determined that failure to monitor temperatures both inside and outside the plant was contrary to procedures DOA 5700-01, DOS 0010-23, and DOS 0010-26, and was a performance deficiency.
5 Enclosure was more than minor. The reason this violation is similar to IMC 0612, Appendix E, Example 4.a, is that the environmental conditions necessary to enter DOA 57001-01 existed 21 times between October 5, 2012 , and November 6, 2012. Therefore this performance deficiency also impacted the Mitigating System Cornerstone objective of ensuring the availability, reliability, and capability of systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences.
The inspectors determined the finding could be evaluated using the Significance Determination Process (SDP) in accordance with IMC 0609, "Significance Determination Process," Appendix A. The inspectors reviewed IMC 0609, Appendix A, Exhibit 2, "Mitigating Systems Screening Questions ," dated June 19, 2012, and answered all four questions NO. Therefore the issue screened as having very low safety significance (Green). This finding has a cross
-cutting aspect in the area of problem identification and resolution, because the licensee did not take appropriate corrective actions.
Specifically, the licensee was aware that the plant heating boilers were not available and that temperatures were dropping below freezing and did not enter the appropriate procedures to ensure the plant was adequately protected from the weather (P.1.(d)). EnforcementContrary to the above, outside ambient temperatures got below 40 degrees 21 times between October 5, 2012 , and November 6, 2012, and that DOA 5700-01, Checklists 1 and 2 were not performed.
Because this violation was of very low safety significance and it was entered into the licensee's corrective action program as IR1437069, "NRC SRI Question," and IR1454998, "Inconsistent Procedures Affect DOA 5700-01 Entry" this violation is being treated as an NCV, consistent with Section 2.3.2 of the NRC Enforcement Policy (NCV 05000 237/201 2 0 05-01; 05000249/20120 05-01, Failure To Follow Cold Weather Initiating Procedure
). The licensee's corrective actions include revising procedures DOA 5700-01 and DOS 0010-22 to remove inconsistencies and creating a method for ensuring plant temperature monitoring is performed in all required locations in accordance with proceduralized compensatory measures.
- Technical Specification Section 5.4.1 a states, in part, that "Written procedures shall be established, implemented, and maintained covering the following activities:
The applicable procedures recommended in Regulatory Guide 1.33, Revision 2, Appendix A, February 1978." Paragraph 5 of Regulatory Guide 1.33 stated, in part, "that procedures for Abnormal, Offnormal, or Alarm Conditions shall be prepared and activities shall be performed in accordance with these procedures." The licensee established DOA 5700-01, "Loss of Heating Boilers," Revision 12, as the implementing procedure for when heating boilers were unavailable and outside ambient temperatures were expected to drop below freezing. Procedure DOA 5700-01 required per step D.5 monitoring and logging temperatures per Checklists 1 and 2 at specific locations within and outside the plant when outside ambient temperature was below 40 degrees Fahrenheit.
.2 a. Readiness
for Impending Adverse Weather Condition
- High Wind Conditions Since high wind conditions as a result of hurricane Sandy were forecast in the vicinity of the facility for October 29, 2012, the inspectors reviewed the licensee's overall Inspection Scope
6 Enclosure preparations/protection for the expected weather conditions. On October 29, 2012, the inspectors walked down the Unit 2 and Unit 3 transformer yards specifically focused on the offsite power system, in addition to the licensee's emergency alternating current (AC) power systems, because their safety
-related functions could be affected or required as a result of high winds or tornado
-generated missiles or the loss of offsite power. The inspectors evaluated the licensee staff's preparations against the site's procedures and determined that the staff's actions were adequate. During the inspection, the inspectors focused on plant
-specific design features and the licensee's procedures used to respond to specified adverse weather conditions. The inspectors also toured the plant grounds to look for any loose debris that could become missiles during a tornado. The inspectors evaluated operator staffing and acce ssibility of controls and indications for those systems required to control the plant. Additionally, the inspectors reviewed the UFSAR and performance requirements for systems selected for inspection, and verified that operator actions were appropriate as specified by plant specific procedures. The inspectors also reviewed a sample of CAP items to verify that the licensee identified adverse weather issues at an appropriate threshold and dispositioned them through the CAP in accordance with station corrective action procedures.
Specific documents reviewed during this inspection are listed in the Attachment to this report
. This inspection constituted one readiness for impending adverse weather condition sample as defined in IP 71111.01-05. b. No findings were identified.
Findings
.3 a. External Flooding
The inspectors evaluated the design, material condition, and procedures for coping with the design basis probable maximum flood. The evaluation included a review to check for deviations from the descriptions provided in the UFSAR for features intended to mitigate the potential for flooding from external factors. As part of this evaluation, the inspectors checked for obstructions that could prevent draining, checked that the roofs did not contain obvious loose items that could clog drains in the event of heavy precipitation, and determined that barriers required to mitigate the flood were in place and operable. The inspectors visually accounted for the licensee's newly obtained Aquaberm, barge, motor boats, and removable flood barriers used as mitigating devices in the licensee's flood coping strategy.
Additionally, the inspectors performed a walkdown of the protected area to identify any modification to the site which would inhibit site drainage during a probable maximum precipitation event or allow water ingress past a barrier. The inspectors also walked down underground bunkers/manholes subject to flooding that contained multiple train or multiple function risk
-significant cables. The inspectors also reviewed the new revision of the abnormal operating procedure (AOP) for mitigating the design basis flood to ensure it could be implemented as written.
Inspection Scope This inspection constituted one external flooding sample as defined in IP 71111.01-05. b. No findings were identified.
Findings 7 Enclosure 1R04 Equipment Alignment

a. Quarterly Partial System Walkdowns The inspectors performed partial system walkdowns of the following risk
-significant systems: Inspection Scope Unit 3 alternate decay heat removal (ADHR)
- Unit 3 Division II low pressure coolant injection and core spray with Division I unavailable for maintenance and testing; and Unit 3 emergency diesel generator (EDG) during 2/3 EDG inoperable during preventative maintenance testing for Bus 23
-1/33-1 crosstie breaker to Bus 33-1 Mechanism Operated Cell (MOC) switch replacement
. 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, UFSAR, 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 CAP with the appropriate significance characterization. Documents reviewed are listed in the Attachment to this report
. These activities constituted three partial system walkdown sample s as defined in IP 71111.04-05. b. No findings were identified.

and IR 1420439, "Fire in MMD Shop" September 30, 2012
. 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 out
-of-service, 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. Usi ng 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 four quarterly fire protection inspection samples as defined in IP 71111.05-05. b. No findings were identified.
Findings 1R08 Inservice Inspection ActivitiesFrom November 13 through November 20, 2012, the inspectors conducted a review of the implementation of the licensee's Inservice Inspection (ISI) Program for monitoring degradation of the reactor coolant system, risk significant piping and components and containment systems.

b. Findings
Introduction
- A finding of very low safety significance (Green) and associated NCV of 10 CFR 50.65(a)(4), Maintenance Rule, was identified by the inspectors for the licensee's failure to implement all necessary prescribed risk management actions during a Unit 3 250 Vdc battery system maintenance window.
Specifically, the licensee failed to post protected equipment signs for the Unit 2 250 Vdc battery system whose unavailability would have taken the unit into a licensee-defined Red risk condition.
DescriptionOn November 19, 2012 , the licensee removed the Unit 3 250 Vdc battery from service in order to perform DES 8300-20, "Unit 3 250 Volt Station Battery Modified Performance Test," under WO 01388735
-03. In accordance with the pre
-outage on-line and outage risk assessment
, the licensee properly declared Unit 2 on-line risk Yellow when the Unit 3 250 Vdc battery was made unavailable, but the on
-shift operations crew did not perform a PARAGON run to determine equipment which could turn Unit 2 on-line risk Red should it become unavailable during the work window.
This missed action prevented the licensee from recognizing that the Unit 2 250 Vdc battery system should be protected in accordance with procedure OP
-AA-108-117, "Protected Equipment Program ," as a predetermined risk management action (RMA) for this plant condition.
The inspectors identified this discrepancy on November 20, 2012 , during a protected equipment walk down. The inspectors noted that the Unit 2 250 Vdc battery system was properly configured and no work was being performed on it which could affect its availability.
The licensee immediately posted protected equipment barriers around the Unit 2 250 Vdc battery system when the inspectors raised this condition to their attention.
- On November 20, 2012, during a protected pathway walk down for the Unit 3 250 Vdc battery work window, the inspectors identified that the Unit 2 250 Vdc battery system was not labeled with the appropriate protected equipment signs in the field. This system was, however, listed in the PARAGON on-line risk assessment software program as equipment that would turn on
-line risk to Red if made unavailable during the current plant configuration and therefore should be protected in accordance with the station's Protected Equipment Program procedure, OP
-AA-108-117.
Analysis:
The inspectors determined that the licensee's failure to post protected equipment signs for the Unit 2 250 Vdc battery, whose unavailability would have taken the unit into a Red risk condition, was contrary to the station's protected equipment program procedure, OP
-AA-108-117, and is a performance deficiency.
The inspectors determined that this finding is more than minor because the licensee failed to implement prescribed risk management actions as a result of not performing a complete risk assessment prior to commencing the work window.
Noteworthy was that the licensee recognized that the overall Unit 2 on-line risk changed to Yellow during the Unit 3 250 Vdc battery work window, but did not perform the PARAGON run to determine what 13 Enclosure systems would result in an on
-line Red risk condition if they became unavailable during the maintenance window. By performing this risk assessment, it would have become apparent that a subsequent loss of the Unit 2 250 Vdc battery would have placed Unit 2 in Red risk. Licensee procedure OP
-AA-108-117 requires systems or components whose loss will result in a Red risk condition be protected. In addition, the licensee's pre-outage on-line and outage risk assessment did not identify this discrepancy either.
Therefore this performance deficiency also impacted the Mitigating System Cornerstone objective of ensuring the availability, reliability, and capability of systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences.
This finding is similar to Example 7.f. provided in IMC 0612, Appendix E. The inspectors used IMC 0609, Appendix K, "Maintenance Risk Assessment and Risk Management Significance Determination Process," Flowchart 2, "Assessment of Risk Management Actions," to analyze the finding.
A regional SRA reviewed the licensee's risk significance evaluation of this issue.
The total actual exposure time used when calculating these values was determined to be 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />. The inspectors performed a Phase 1 screening using IMC 0609, Appendix K, "Maintenance Risk Assessment and Risk Management Significance Determination Process," with assistance from the Regional SRA.
The SRA also evaluated the licensee's independent risk significance evaluation performed by the licensee's risk expert.
The licensee provided core damage frequency (CDF) and large early release frequency (LERF) risk increase factors of 1.49 and 1.50, respectively, for the maintenance configuration, and a zero baseline CDF of 3.5E-6/yr. Given these values and applying the duration of 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> that the RMAs were not implemented, the SRA calculated an incremental core damage probability (ICDP)and incremental large early release probability (ICLERP) of 1.4E
-8. Using flowchart 2, the finding was determined to be of very low safety significance (Green) because the ICDP was less than 1E
-6 and ILERP was less than 1E
-7. This finding has a cross
-cutting aspect in the area of Human Performance, Work Practices, Procedural Compliance because the licensee failed to implement risk management actions in accordance with procedure OP
-AA-108-117 (H.4(b)).
Specifically, the failure to conduct an adequate risk assessment prior to commencing maintenance activities led to the missed postings for protected pathway equipment.
EnforcementContrary to the above, on November 19, 2012, the licensee failed to implement all necessary prescribed risk management actions during the Unit 3 250 Vdc battery system maintenance window.
As a result, the increase in risk associated with making the Unit 2 250 Vdc battery system inoperable while the Unit 3 250 Vdc system was unavailable was not adequately accounted for. The licensee entered this issue into their corrective action program (CAP) as IR1442762. Corrective actions planned and completed by the licensee included immediately protecting the Unit 2 250 Vdc battery system, distributing a Shift Manager Leadership Report to all supervisors regarding the required use of the PARAGON risk management software prior to taking equipment out of service for maintenance and testing, updating pre
-job heightened level of awareness briefs associated with 250 Vdc battery testing to include warnings about the need to protect the opposite unit's battery, and the on
-shift operations crew's clock was reset. Because the
- The requirements for monitoring the effectiveness of maintenance at nuclear power plants, as described in 10 CFR 50.65(a)(4), states, in part, that "before performing maintenance activities, the licensee shall assess and manage the increase in risk that may result from the proposed maintenance activities."
14 Enclosure licensee has entered the issue into their CAP and the finding is of very low safety significance, this violation of 10 CFR 50.65(a)(4) is being treated as an NCV, consistent with Section 2.3.2 of the NRC Enforcement Policy

2301-8 Leakage Analysis ," Revision 2; IR 1435817, "Feed to LPCI Swing Bus at Bus 39 Will Not Close;" and IR 1439549, "NRC Resident Question on Instrument Calibration
." 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 measure s 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 th e
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 to this report
. This operability inspection constituted five sample s as defined in IP 71111.15-05. b. No findings were identified.
Findings 1R17 Evaluations of Changes, Tests, or Experiments and Permanent Plant Modifications

During the Evaluation of Changes, Tests, or Experiments and Permanent Plant Modifications inspection, the inspectors identified an unresolved item (URI) concerning (Closed) Unresolved Item 05000237/2012008
-04 "Unit 2 East and West LPCI Corner Rooms Internal Flooding Event Issue
"
15 Enclosure the design basis internal flood barrier protection for the Unit 2 East and West LPCI rooms. As a result, the inspectors were not able to determine if flood seal No. 9 penetration for the Unit 2 East LPCI corner room and flood seal No.
5 and No. 10 penetration for the Unit 2 West LPCI corner room were required to be classified as safety-related. To address this concern, the licensee provided additional licensing and design basis documents for the flood seals. The inspector reviewed the UFSAR, Systematic Evaluation Program, and correspondence related to an NRC Request for Information for internal flooding evaluations following a failure of the circulating water lines at Quad Cities Unit 1, in 1972. The inspectors did not identify a performance deficiency or violation of NRC requirements. Based on the review of licensing and design basis documents, this URI is closed.

a. Plant Modifications T he inspectors reviewed the following modification(s):
Inspection Scope EC 353299; "Reactor Recirculation MG Set Replacement with Adjustable Speed Drive (ASD)
Units," Revision 0. The inspectors reviewed the configuration changes and associated 10 CFR 50.59 safety evaluation screening against the design basis, the UFSAR, and the TS, as applicable, to verify that the modification did not affect the operability or availability of the affected system. The inspectors, as applicable, observed ongoing and completed work activities to ensure that the modifications were installed as direct ed and consistent with the design control documents; the modifications operated as expected; post-modification testing adequately demonstrated continued system operability, availability, and reliability; and that operation of the modifications did not impact the operability of any interfacing systems. As applicable, the inspectors verified that relevant procedure, design, and licensing documents were properly updated. Lastly, the inspectors discussed the plant modification with operations, engineering, and training personnel to ensure that the individuals were aware of how the operation with the plant modification in place could impact overall plant performance.
Documents reviewed in the course of this inspection are listed in the Attachment to this repor t. This inspection constituted one permanent plant modification sample as defined in IP 71111.18-05. b. No findings were identified.

-15, "OP Perform Capacity Test
." 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
TS s, 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 to this report

.2 Radiological Hazard Assessment
a. Inspection Scope
(02.02) The inspectors determined if there have been changes to plant operations since the last inspection that may result in a significant new radiological hazard for onsite workers or members of the public. The inspectors evaluated whether the licensee assessed the potential impact of these changes and has implemented periodic monitoring, as appropriate, to detect and quantify the radiological hazard.
The inspectors reviewed the last two radiological surveys from selected plant areas and evaluated whether the thoroughness and frequency of the surveys where appropriate for the given radiological hazard.
The inspectors conducted walkdowns of the facility, including radioactive waste processing, storage, and handling areas to evaluate material conditions and performed independent radiation measurements to verify conditions.
The inspectors selected the following radiologically ris k-significant work activities that involved exposure to radiation.
Drywell and Control Rod Drive Activities; Reactor Disassembly and Reassembly Activities; Refuel Floor and Refueling Activities; and Turbine Retrofit and Upgrade For these work activities, the inspectors assessed whether the pre
-work surveys performed were appropriate to identify and quantify the radiological hazard and to establish adequate protective measures. The inspectors evaluated the radiological survey program to determine if hazards were properly identified, including the following:
identification of hot particles; the presence of alpha emitters; the potential for airborne radioactive materials, including the potential presence of transuranics and/or other hard
-to-detect radioactive materials (This evaluation may include licensee planned entry into non
-routinely entered areas subject to previous contamination from failed fuel.);
the hazards associated with work activities that could suddenly and severely increase radiological conditions and that the licensee has established a means to inform workers of changes that could significantly impact their occupational dose; and severe radiation field dose gradients that can result in non
-uniform exposures of the body. The inspectors observed work in potential airborne areas and evaluated whether the air samples were representative of the breathing air zone.
The inspectors evaluated whether continuous air monitors were located in areas with low background to minimize false alarms and were representative of actual work areas. The inspectors evaluated the licensee's program for monitoring levels of loose surface contamination in areas of the plant with the potential for the contamination to become airborne.

.4 Contamination and Radioactive Material Control
(02.0 4)
a. Inspection Scope
The inspectors observed locations where the licensee monitors potentially contaminated material leaving the radiological control area and inspected the methods used for control, survey, and release from these areas. The inspectors observed the performance of personnel surveying and releasing material for unrestricted use and evaluated whether the work was performed in accordance with plant procedures and whether the procedures were sufficient to control the spread of contamination and 22 Enclosure prevent unintended release of radioactive materials from the site. The inspectors assessed whether the radiation monitoring instrumentation had appropriate sensitivity for the type(s) of radiation present.
The inspectors reviewed the licensee's criteria for the survey and release of potentially contaminated material. The inspectors evaluated whether there was guidance on how to respond to an alarm that indicates the presence of licensed radioactive material.
The inspectors reviewed the licensee's procedures and records to verify that the radiation detection instrumentation was used at its typical sensitivity level based on appropriate counting parameters. The inspectors assessed whether or not the licensee has established a de facto "release limit" by altering the instrument's typical sensitivity through such methods as raising the energy discriminator level or locating the instrument in a high-radiation background area.
The inspectors selected several sealed sources from the licensee's inventory records and assessed whether the sources were accounted for and verified to be intact.
The inspectors evaluated whether any transactions, since the last inspection, involving nationally tracked sources were reported in accordance with 10 CFR 20.2207.
b. Findings
No findings were identified.
.5 Radiological Hazards Control and Work Coverage

For these radiation work permits, the inspectors evaluated airborne radioactive controls and monitoring, including potential for significant airborne levels (e.g., grinding, grit blasting, system breaches, entry into tanks, cubicles, and reactor cavities).
The inspectors assessed barrier (e.g., tent or glove box) integrity and temporary high
-efficiency particulate air ventilation system operation.
The inspectors examined the licensee's physical and programmatic controls for highly activated or contaminated materials (nonfuel) stored within spent fuel and other storage pools. The inspectors assessed whether appropriate controls (i.e., administrative and physical controls) were in place to preclude inadvertent removal of these materials from the pool.
The inspectors examined the posting and physical controls for selected high radiation areas and very high radiation areas to verify conformance with the occupational performance indicator.
b. Findings
No findings were identified.
.6 Risk-Significant High Radiation Area and Very High Radiation Area Controls (02.0 6)
a. Inspection Scope
The inspectors discussed with the radiation protection manager the controls and procedures for high
-risk high radiation areas and very high radiation areas. The inspectors discussed methods employed by the licensee to provide stricter control of very high radiation area access as specified in 10 CFR 20.1602, "Control of Access to Very High Radiation Areas," and Regulatory Guide 8.38, "Control of Access to High and Very High Radiation Areas of Nuclear Plants."

4OA2 Identification and Resolution of Problems
(71152)
.1 Routine Review of Items Entered into the Corrective Action Program
a. Inspection Scope
As part of the various baseline inspection procedures discussed in previous sections of this report, the inspectors routinely reviewed issues during baseline inspection activities and plant status reviews to verify they were being entered into the licensee's CAP at an appropriate threshold, that adequate attention was being given to timely corrective 28 Enclosure actions, and that adverse trends were identified and addressed. Attributes reviewed included: identification of the problem was complete and accurate; timeliness was commensurate with the safety significance; evaluation and disposition of performance issues, generic implications, common causes, contributing factors, root causes, extent-of-condition reviews, and previous occurrences reviews were proper and adequate; and that the classification, prioritization, focus, and timeliness of corrective actions were commensurate with safety and sufficient to prevent recurrence of the issue. Minor issues entered into the licensee's CAP as a result of the inspectors' observations are included in the Attachment to this report.
These routine reviews for the identification and resolution of problems did not constitute any additional inspection samples. Instead, by procedure they were considered an integral part of the inspections performed during the quarter and documented in Section 1 of this report.
b. Findings
No findings were identified.
.2 Daily Corrective Action Program Reviews
a. Inspection Scope
In order to assist with the identification of repetitive equipment failures and specific human performance issues for follow
-up, the inspectors performed a daily screening of items entered into the licensee's CAP. This review was accomplished through inspection of the station's daily condition report packages.
These daily reviews were performed by procedure as part of the inspectors' daily plant status monitoring activities and, as such, did not constitute any separate inspection samples.
b. Findings
No findings were identified.
.3 Semi-Annual Trend Review
a. Inspection Scope
The inspectors performed a review of the licensee's CAP and associated documents to identify trends that could indicate the existence of a more significant safety issue. The inspectors' review was focused on repetitive equipment issues, but also considered the results of daily inspector CAP item screening discussed in Section 4OA2.2 above, licensee trending efforts, and licensee human performance results. The inspectors' review nominally considered the 12-month period of January 2012 through December 2012, although some examples expanded beyond those dates where the scope of the trend warranted.
Specific focus was given to the high pressure coolant injection and emergency diesel generator systems as these safety
-related systems experienced repeat failures during this time frame.
29 Enclosure The review also included issues documented outside the normal CAP in major equipment, problem lists, repetitive and/or rework maintenance lists, departmental problem/challenges lists, system health reports, quality assurance audit/surveillance reports, self assessment reports, and Maintenance Rule assessments. The inspectors compared and contrasted their results with the results contained in the licensee's CAP trending reports. Corrective actions associated with a sample of the issues identified in the licensee's trending reports were reviewed for adequacy.
This review constituted a single semi
-annual trend inspection sample as defined in IP 71152-05.
b. Findings
No findings were identified.
.4 Selected Issue Follow
-Up Inspection: Assessment of Periodic Time-Based Replacement for Aging Active Components
a. Inspection Scope
The inspectors reviewed in
-place, preventive
-maintenance (PM) programs that prescribe periodic refurbishment or replacement intervals for designated critical SSCs. This review included verifying:
- (1) the categorization of SSCs to ensure a refurbishment or replacement plan has been initiated;
- (2) the licensee evaluated SSCs in service beyond the manufacturer's specified service life; and
- (3) the licensee was aware of available industry operating experience (OE) that has a bearing on the service life of SSCs. Examples of active components that have been identified as having a defined service life include: electrical relays, contactors, and meters; pumps, motors, and heat exchangers; battery chargers; dampers, seals, o
-rings, and solenoid valves; circuit breakers (all sizes); and power supplies, capacitors, and circuit cards. Specifically, the inspectors selected and reviewed 64 procedures, condition reports (CRs), operating experience evaluations (OEs), focused area self assessments (FASAs), WOs, and assorted other documents describing the licensee's performance of time
-based preventive maintenance activities that had been issued between April 1999 to October 2012. The inspectors noted the licensee had evaluated the PM program before entering the period of extended operation and identified a small number of components which had not been categorized properly to be replaced before exceeding the service life. The inspectors reviewed these CRs and verified appropriate corrective actions were being implemented. The issues identified by the licensee were considered minor since the components had not exceeded their service life.
In addition, the inspectors selected a sample of SCCs and verified the licensee had properly categorized and initiated appropriate actions for replacement or refurbishment.
No concerns were identified.
The inspectors reviewed the licensee's implementing procedures and noted guidance had been provided to either replace aging components or document a justification for extending the service life before exceeding the vendor recommendations. The inspectors selected a sample of SCCs and did not identify any concerns regarding the timeliness of replacements. The inspectors also performed independent searches on the CAP database to identify potential aging issues. The inspectors noted the identified issues were properly evaluated for aging and the corrective actions were appropriate 30 Enclosure and consistent with the licensee's procedures for identifying and maintaining critical components.
The inspectors also interviewed plant personnel to assess sensitivity with equipment aging. The inspectors did not identify any significant concerns with the licensee's processes for managing aging of active components.
The documents reviewed are listed in the Attachment to this report.
This review constituted one in
-depth problem identification and resolution sample as defined in IP 71152

4OA3 Follow-Up of Events and Notices of Enforcement Discretion
(71153)
.1 (Closed) Licensee Event Report 05000237/2011
00, "MSIV [main steam isolation valve] Closure Times Outside of Technical Specification Limits" On October 17, 2011, the licensee performed closure time testing of Unit 2 MSIVs. The acceptance criteria for testing the valves is that they close Three of the eight MSIVs failed the timing acceptance criteria by closing in less than 3 seconds.
2-0203-1B timed at 2.9 second s 2-0203-2B timed at 2.6 seconds 2-0203-1D timed at 2.4 seconds The licensee determined that the reason for the failed test on two of the three valves was a performance deficiency associated with the testing procedure. The last time the valves were tested two of the three timed at 3.0 seconds. Previously the valves were tested cold. Operating experience had previously demonstrated that the valves close faster when the valves are hot. There was no requirement in the test procedure to adjust the timing if the valve tested within acceptance criteria regardless of what the temperature was when the valves were tested. Since the valves were previously tested cold, margin should have been established for when the plant heated up. This was not done. For valve 2-0203-1D the reason the valve failed was that the limit switch was bad. The licensee was aware as early as 2007 of operating experience that demonstrated that the lower limit switches near the valve body were susceptible to heat degradation. The licensee had prepared a modification to resolve the problem but chose to delay the installation of the modification several times.
The failure of the test procedure to properly set the timing of the MSIV for the conditions under which it was tested was a performance deficiency and a licensee identified violation which is discussed in Section
4OA7 of this report.
The inspectors reviewed the corrective actions for both of these problems and had no additional concerns. This Licensee Event Report (LER) is closed.

.2 (Closed) Supplemental
Licensee Event Report 05000237/2011 01, "Standby Liquid Control Explosive Valve Failure" The inspectors reviewed the subject supplemental LER to evaluate the licensee's root cause and corrective actions in response to the failure of the Unit 2 'A' explosive valve to actuate during a functional test on October 28, 2011.
In August 2009, the licensee upgraded the Unit 2 standby liquid control (SBLC) system h eat tracing under modification EC 373699, "Upgrade U2 Standby Liquid Heat Tracing," Revision 0. The licensee replaced the existing heat tracing and insulation on the SBLC suction, discharge, and relief lines, and the injection pumps. The heat tracing installation was intended to stop at the spool piece before the explosive valve. However, during the modification, the installers wrapped the 'A' explosive valve with heat tracing. During an injection test performed on October 28, 2011, the 'A' SBLC explosive valve failed to function properly which resulted in no flow of demineralized water from the test tank to the reactor.
Upon further investigation, it was revealed that the heat trace modification done in 2009 was not installed in accordance with the modification's specifications. The incorrect installation placed the heat trace around the 'A' explosive valve trigger assembly which resulted in higher than normal temperatures and resulted in thermal degradation of the explosive material. The inspectors determined that the licensee did not perform an appropriate inspection upon completion of the modification that should have identified the inappropriate heat tracing installation.
An NCV of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criteria X, "Inspection," was documented in Inspection Report 05000237/2012008 for the failure to execute an appropriate inspection for work performed on the Units 2 and 3 SBLC pumps and associated equipment.
Specifically, the licensee failed to determine via inspection that the heat tracing was properly installed on the Unit 2 'A' SBLC components and that insulation material removed around the Unit 3 SBLC pumps was properly reinstalled post maintenance (NCV 05000237/2012008
-02). The licensee replaced the failed assembly and the functional test was subsequently completed satisfactorily. Following successful testing of the 'A' train, a new explosive valve was installed. A WO was completed to rearrange the heat trace for the Unit 2 SBLC system so that it is installed in accordance with the modification's instructions.
The initial LER was reviewed by the inspectors and closed in Inspection Report 05000237/2012004.
The inspectors' review of this supplemental LER did not identify any additional findings or violations of NRC requirements. This LER is closed.

Licensee Event Report 05000237;05000249/2012-002-01, "Inlet Steam Drain Pot Drain Line Leaks Result in High Pressue Coolant Injection Inoperabilites" The inspectors reviewed the subject supplemental LER to evaluate the licensee's response to steam leaks in the Unit 2 high pressure coolant injection (HPCI) system that occurred on May 22, 20 12 , and the Unit 3 HPCI system on June 10, 2012.
On May 22, 2012, plant personnel identified a steam leak in the Uni t 2 HPCI inlet drain pot inboard drain line to the main condenser. Additionally, on June 10, 2012, plant personnel identified a steam leak in the Unit 3 HPCI inlet drain pot inboard drain line to the main condenser. In each case, the Unit 2 and Unit 3 HPCI systems were taken out of service to secure the leaks and allow repair activities to be performed. Appropriate TS action statements were entered and performed. Based on a failure analysis, the licensee determined that the failure mechanism was erosion of the chrome
-molybdenum material elbows caused by liquid impingement. The licensee replaced both chrome
-molybdenum elbows with stainless steel elbows as stainless steel is less susceptible to liquid impingement corrosion. Both HPCI systems were returned to service on May 25, 2012, and June 12, 2012, respectively.
In addition, the licensee replaced the 2
-2301-29, 3-2301-29 and 3-2301-30 air operated valves (AOVs) as part of an extent of condition from a through wall leak identified on the 2-2301-29 AOV. Extent of condition non
-destructive examination (NDE) was completed on Unit 3 in November 2012. Elbows that were found degraded were replaced with more resistant stainless steel elbows. All degraded piping components were replaced as well. Non
-destructive examinations are scheduled to be completed on Unit 2 on selected elbows in January 2013. Based on the results of NDE, portions of the HPCI drain piping will be replaced during scheduled HPCI maintenance in March 2013. Any degraded piping components that remain will be scheduled for replacement during the upcoming Unit 2 refueling outage in November 2013. For the remaining chrome
-
33 Enclosure molybdenum portions of piping, preventative maintenance activities have been created to periodically perform NDE to identify degradation.
The initial LER was reviewed by the inspectors and closed in Inspection Report 05000237/2012004. The inspectors' review of this supplemental LER did not identify any additional findings or violations of NRC requirements. This LER is closed.

-Term Task Force Recommendation 2.3 Flooding Walkdowns, and NRC TI 2515/188, Inspection of Near
-Term Task Force Recommendation 2.3 Seismic Walkdowns
a. Inspection Scope
The inspectors continued to accompany the licensee on a sampling basis, during their flooding and seismic walkdowns, to verify that the licensee's walkdown activities were conducted using the methodology endorsed by the NRC.
Specifically, the inspectors observed the licensee inspect motor control centers and electrical distribution panels during maintenance outages and other operational periods when these high energy components could be safely accessed for seismic structural soundness. In addition the inspectors reviewed newly acquired flood mitigation equipment including an aquaberm, a floating dock, and flood barriers for the isolation condenser make-up pump house. The inspectors also reviewed the newest revision of the licensee's flooding response procedure DOA 0010-04, "Floods," Revision 37 and the licensee's Seismic Walkdown Report for adequacy.
The inspectors
, along with Regional and Headquarters technical staff , continue to engage the licensee regarding the site's response strategy for a flooding event resulting from a Probable Maximum Flood. The staff submitted a 30 day response letter to the licensee on November 1, 2012 , with numerous questions concerning the results of the flooding walkdowns performed over the last several months (ML12306A393). The licensee responded in writing to these questions on December 1, 2012 (ML12348A012).
These walkdowns are being performed at all sites in response to a letter from the NRC to licensees, entitled "Request for Information Pursuant to Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations 50.54(f) Regarding Recommendations 2.1, 2.3, and 9.3, of the Near
-Term Task Force Review of Insights from the Fukushima Dai-Ichi Accident," dated March 12, 2012 (ADAMS Accession No. ML12053A340). As of the end of this inspection period, the inspectors continue to engage the licensee regarding its response strategy for flooding events.
3 of the March 12, 2012, letter requested licensees to perform seismic walkdowns using an NRC
-endorsed walkdown methodology. Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) document 1025286 titled, "Seismic Walkdown Guidance," (ADAMS Accession No. ML12188A031) provided the NRC
-endorsed methodology for performing seismic walkdowns to verify that plant features, credited in the current licensing basis (CLB) for seismic events, are available, functional, and properly maintained.
4 of the letter requested licensees to perform external flooding walkdowns using an NRC-endorsed walkdown methodology (ADAMS Accession No. ML12056A050). Nuclear Energy Institute Document 12-07 titled, "Guidelines for Performing Verification Walkdowns of Plant Protection Features," (ADAMS Accession 34 Enclosure No. ML12173A215) provided the NRC
-endorsed methodology for assessing external flood protection and mitigation capabilities to verify that plant features, credited in the CLB for protection and mitigation from external flood events, are available, functional, and properly maintained.
b. Findings
No findings were identified.

The inspection results for the areas of radiological hazard assessment and exposure controls; occupational ALARA planning and controls; and occupational exposure control effectiveness performance indicator verification with Mr. B. Kapellas, Operation s Director, on November 27, 2012. The inspectors confirmed that none of the potential report input discussed was considered proprietary. Proprietary material received during the inspection will be handled in accordance with NRC policy.
4OA7 Licensee-Identified Violations
The following violations of very low significance (Green) were identified by the licensee and are violations of NRC requirements which meet the criteria of the NRC Enforcement Policy for being dispositioned as NCVs.
.1 MSIV Closure Times Outside of Technical Specification Limits
Technical Specification 3.6.1.3.B required that if one or more penetration flow paths with two or more primary containment isolation valves inoperable for reasons other than having the MSIV leakage rate not within limits were inoperable then the affected flow path must be isolated by use of at least one closed and de
-activated automatic valve, manual valve, or blind flange within 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br />. Contrary to the above on October 17, 2011, the licensee identified that the flow path containing valves 2
-0203-1B and 2-0203-2B had been inoperable for the entire previous cycle (2 years) because they were time tested 35 Enclosure and failed with times less than 3.0 seconds each and the flow path was not isolated within 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br />.
The licensee determined that the reason for the failed test on the two valves was a performance deficiency associated with the testing procedure. The last time the valves were tested the two valves timed at 3.0 seconds. Previously the valves were tested cold. Operating experience had previously demonstrated that the valves close faster when the valves are hot. There was no requirement in the test procedure to adjust the timing if the valve tested within acceptance criteria regardless of what the temperature was when the valves were tested. Since the valves were previously tested cold, margin should have been established for when the plant heated up. This was not done.
The inspectors determined the performance deficiency was more than minor because it was associated with the barrier integrity cornerstone attribute of Procedure Quality in that the surveillance test procedure affected the reliability/availability of a component that was relied upon to protect the public from radionuclide releases caused by accidents or events. The inspectors reviewed Table 4a of Inspection Manual Chapter 0609.04, dated January 1, 2008. The inspectors answered all four questions under the containment barrier column N O, so the issue screened as having very low safety significance (Green). The licensee's corrective actions consisted of a procedure change to surveillance test procedure DOS 0250-02, "MSIV Fast Closure Timing," to include requirements to make adjustments for measurements based on temperature of the valve when the testing is performed.
