ALARA  The inspectors evaluated ALARA program guidance and its implementation forrefueling outage 24 (RO-24). The inspectors reviewed, and discussed with licensee staff, ALARA work plan (AWP) documents including dose estimates and prescribed ALARA controls for selected outage work activities that incurred significant collective doses. The inspectors reviewed the integration of AWP requirements into work procedures and RWPs. The inspectors reviewed the interfaces between plant departments in regard to implementation of the ALARA program. These elements of the ALARA program were evaluated for consistency with the methods and practices delineated in applicable licensee procedures.The inspectors reviewed the site collective exposure estimates and their bases forcalendar year 2007 and RO-24. The inspectors compared select person-hour estimates provided by maintenance and other planning groups with actual work activity time requirements, evaluated the accuracy of the estimates, and discussed identified differences with the ALARA staff. Changes to dose budgets relative to changes in job scope also were identified and discussed.The inspectors reviewed select shielding request packages with respect to dose ratereduction goals and the associated engineering reviews, as applicable. The inspectors reviewed pre-installation and post-installation radiation surveys associated to shielding request packages to determine the consistency between dose reduction goals and results achieved. Selected work activities were observed for evaluating the use of ALARA controls. Activities observed included:  ECCS sump modification, S/G eddy current testing, S/G sludge lancing, and industrial radiography. The inspectors evaluated if the AWP considerations, including engineering controls, were implemented appropriately during job performance. The inspector determined if workers were aware of low dose waiting areas, their electronic dosimeter set points, and the radiological conditions in the area ofwork. The inspectors evaluated whether radiation workers adhered to AWP and RWP requirements, and if radiation worker practices demonstrated the ALARA philosophy. In addition, the inspectors evaluated HPT proficiency in providing pre-job briefings and job coverage.

REPORT DETAILS

Summary of Plant Status The unit began the inspection period operating at 92 percent of ratedthermal power as the unit was experiencing an end-of-cycle coastdown at the rate of approximately -1 percent of rated thermal power per day, in preparation for beginning a scheduled refueling outage. On April 7, with the reactor operating at approximately 4 percent power, the licensee manually tripped the reactor to begin that outage. The licensee restarted the reactor on May 12, re-connected the unit to the electrical grid on May 13, and began a routine post-outage power increase toward 100 percent. On May 15, with the unit operating at 82 percent of rated thermal power and ramping upward, the plant experienced an automatic reactor trip after an electrical fault associated with main transformer monitoring circuitry caused that circuitry to initiate a main generator lockout, which in turn caused a turbine trip and a subsequent reactor trip. After resolving trip-related issues, the licensee restarted the reactor and re-connected the unit to the electrical grid on May 17. The unit returned to full power on May 18, and operated at full power for the remainder of the inspection period.1.REACTOR SAFETYCornerstones: Initiating Events, Mitigating Systems, Barrier Integrity1R04Equipment Alignment

The inspectors compared the justifications provided in the determinations to the requirements from the TS, the UFSAR, and associated design-basis documents, to verify that operability was properly justified and the subject components or systems remained available, such that no unrecognized increase in risk occurred.The inspectors also reviewed a licensee's response to NRC Information Notice 2006-20,"Foreign Material Found in the Emergency Core Cooling System", and in conjunction with licensee actions to resolve Generic Safety Issue 191, "Assessment of Debris Accumulation on PWR Sump Performance".

10Enclosure*235903, Loss of analog rod position indication on the main control board*230613, Foreign material in residual heat removal suction piping Documents reviewed are listed in the Attachment.

b. Findings

No findings of significance were identified. However, during a refueling outage on April22, 2007, the licensee used a remote video camera to visually inspect the two suction lines between the ECCS sump and RHR pumps A and B. Inspection of the first line revealed a piece of wire approximately 30 inches long, and inspection of the second line revealed a stainless steel insulation band and other smaller items of metallic debris.

These items were immediately removed. The licensee has not completed their engineering evaluations at the end of the inspection period. The inspectors determined that additional inspections are required to determine whether and to what extent the subject debris could have affected safety functions during a postulated event that includes recirculation flow from the ECCS sump. Therefore, this issue is identified asURI 05000261/2007003-01, Emergency Core Cooling Sump Piping Foreign Material.

This issue is in the CAP as AR 230613230613

The inspectors reviewed, and discussed with licensee staff, ALARA work plan (AWP) documents including dose estimates and prescribed ALARA controls for selected outage work activities that incurred significant collective doses. The inspectors reviewed the integration of AWP requirements into work procedures and RWPs. The inspectors reviewed the interfaces between plant departments in regard to implementation of the ALARA program. These elements of the ALARA program were evaluated for consistency with the methods and practices delineated in applicable licensee procedures.The inspectors reviewed the site collective exposure estimates and their bases forcalendar year 2007 and RO-24. The inspectors compared select person-hour estimates provided by maintenance and other planning groups with actual work activity time requirements, evaluated the accuracy of the estimates, and discussed identified differences with the ALARA staff. Changes to dose budgets relative to changes in job scope also were identified and discussed.The inspectors reviewed select shielding request packages with respect to dose ratereduction goals and the associated engineering reviews, as applicable. The inspectors reviewed pre-installation and post-installation radiation surveys associated to shielding request packages to determine the consistency between dose reduction goals and results achieved. Selected work activities were observed for evaluating the use of ALARA controls. Activities observed included: ECCS sump modification, S/G eddy current testing, S/G sludge lancing, and industrial radiography. The inspectors evaluated if the AWP considerations, including engineering controls, were implemented appropriately during job performance. The inspector determined if workers were aware of low dose waiting areas, their electronic dosimeter set points, and the radiological conditions in the area ofwork. The inspectors evaluated whether radiation workers adhered to AWP and RWP requirements, and if radiation worker practices demonstrated the ALARA philosophy. In addition, the inspectors evaluated HPT proficiency in providing pre-job briefings and job coverage.

18EnclosureThe inspectors reviewed the controls employed by the licensee for declared pregnantwomen with respect to the requirements of 10 CFR Part 20.ALARA program activities and their implementation were evaluated against 10 CFR19.12; 10 CFR Part 20, Subparts B, C, F, G, H, and J; and approved licensee procedures. In addition, licensee performance was evaluated against Regulatory Guide 8.8, Information Relevant to Ensuring that Occupational Radiation Exposures at Nuclear Power Stations will be As Low As Reasonably Achievable. Procedures and records reviewed within this inspection area are listed in the Attachment.Problem Identification and Resolution Licensee CAP documents associated withALARA activities were reviewed and assessed.

Public Radiation Safety4.OTHER ACTIVITIES 4OA2Identification and Resolution of Problems.1Routine Review of ARsTo aid in the identification of repetitive equipment failures or specific humanperformance issues for followup, the inspectors performed frequent screenings of items entered into the CAP. The review was accomplished by reviewing daily AR reports..2Annual Sample Review

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors selected AR 200586200586for detailed review. The inspectors selected this ARbecause it relates generally to the Mitigating Systems Cornerstone, in that it involves the reliability and availability of the D instrument air compressor. The inspectors reviewed this report to verify:*complete and accurate identification of the problem in a timely manner;*evaluation and disposition of performance issues; 19Enclosure*evaluation and disposition of operability and reportability issues;*consideration of extent of condition, generic implications, common cause, andprevious occurrences;*appropriate classification and prioritization of the problem;

  • identification of root and contributing causes of the problem;
  • identification of corrective actions which were appropriately focused to correct theproblem; and*completion of corrective actions in a timely manner.The inspectors also reviewed this AR to verify compliance with the requirements of theCAP as delineated in Procedure CAP-NGGC-0200, Corrective Action Program, and 10 CFR 50, Appendix B. Documents reviewed are listed in the Attachment.

b. Observations and Findings

No findings of significance were identified..3Semi-Annual Trend Review

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors performed a review of the CAP and associated documents to identifytrends that could indicate the existence of a more significant safety issue. The inspector's review focused on repetitive equipment issues, but also considered the results of daily inspector CAP item screening discussed in Section 4OA2.1, licensee trending efforts, and licensee human performance results. The inspector's review considered the six-month period of January, 2007, through June, 2007. The review 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 latest monthly and quarterly trend reports.

Corrective actions associated with a sample of the issues identified in the trend reports were reviewed for adequacy. The specific documents reviewed are listed in the

.The inspectors also evaluated the trend reports against the requirements of the CAP asspecified in 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion XVI, and in Procedures CAP-NGGC-0200, CAP-NGGC-0206, Corrective Action Program Trending and

Analysis.

b.Assessment and ObservationsNo findings of significance were identified. The inspectors evaluated trendingmethodology and observed that the licensee had performed detailed reviews. The licensee routinely reviewed cause codes, involved organizations, key words, and system links to identify potential trends in their CAP data. The inspectors compared the licensee process results with the results of the inspectors' daily screening, and did not 20Enclosureidentify any discrepancies or potential trends in the CAP data that the licensee hadfailed to identify.4OA3Event Follow-up.1May 15 Reactor Trip

a. Inspection Scope

Following the reactor trip that occurred on May 15, the inspectors reviewed the status ofmitigating systems and fission product barriers, equipment and personnel performance, and related plant management decisions to assist NRC management in making an informed evaluation of plant conditions. The inspectors also reviewed post-trip activities to verify that the licensee identified and resolved event-related issues prior to restarting the plant. Documents reviewed are listed in the Attachment.
