==Dear Mr. Christian:== | |||
On March 31, 2006, the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed an inspection atyour Millstone Power Station Unit 2 and Unit 3. The enclosed inspection report documents theinspection results, which were discussed on April 20, 2006, with Mr. J. Alan Price and other members of your staff.The inspection examined activities conducted under your license as they relate to safety andcompliance with the Commission's rules and regulations and with the conditions of your license. | |||
The inspectors reviewed selected procedures and records, observed activities, and interviewed personnel.This report documents one NRC-identified finding and one self-revealing finding of very lowsafety significance (Green). Both of these findings were determined to involve violations of | |||
NRC requirements. However, because of their very low safety significance and because theyhave been entered into your corrective action program, the NRC is treating these issues asNon-Cited Violations (NCVs), in accordance with Section VI.A.1 of the NRC's EnforcementPolicy. Additionally, one licensee-identified violation which was determined to be of very low safety significance is listed in this report. If you contest any NCV in this report, you should provide a response within 30 days of the date of this inspection report, with the basis for your denial, to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, ATTN.: Document Control Desk, Washington DC 20555-0001; with copies to the Regional Administrator, Region I; the Director, Office of Enforcement, United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555-0001; | |||

=SUMMARY OF FINDINGS= | |||
IR 05000336/2006-002, 05000423/2006-002; 01/01/2006 - 03/31/2006; Millstone PowerStation, Unit 2 and Unit 3; Operator Performance During Non-Routine Plant Evolutions andEvents, Other Activities.The report covered a 3-month period of inspection by resident inspectors and announcedinspections by regional inspectors. Two (Green) non-cited violations (NCVs) were identified. | |||
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 commercialnuclear power reactors is described in NUREG-1649, "Reactor Oversight Process," Revision 3,dated July 2000.A. | |||
===NRC-Identified and Self-Revealing Findings=== | |||
===Cornerstone: Initiating EventsUnit 3=== | |||
: '''Green.''' | |||
A Green self-revealing NCV of Technical Specification (TS) 6.8.1a,"Procedures," was identified for inadequate implementation of procedures which resulted in an unintended positive reactivity addition. On February 17, 2006, | |||
Operations personnel mis-positioned three valves which isolated the "A" boric acid gravity feed flow path and the "A" boric acid transfer pump. This issue manifested itself the following day during a planned blended makeup to the Volume Control Tank which resulted in a small positive reactivity addition. | |||
Dominion entered their procedural compliance error into their corrective action program for resolution. This issue involved the cross-cutting aspects of human performance in that operators failed to adequately implement procedures which lead to an unintended reactivity addition.This issue was more than minor because it is associated with the humanperformance and configuration control attributes of the Initiating Events cornerstone. The finding is associated with an increase in the likelihood of initiating events in that an inadvertent positive reactivity addition actually occurred. The inspectors determined that the self-revealing finding was of very low safety significance because the amount of reactivity added was small (approximately 6 pcm) and did not contribute to both the likelihood of a reactortrip and the unavailability of mitigation equipment or functions. (Section 1R14) | |||
===Cornerstone: Mitigating SystemsUnit 2=== | |||
: '''Green.''' | |||
The inspectors identified a Green NCV for the failure to comply with TS3.3.1.1, "Reactor Protection Instrumentation," during routine monthly surveillance ivtesting of the Wide Range Nuclear Instrument (WRNIs). During a review ofcontrol room logs from January 1, 2006 through March 31, 2006, the inspectors identified that Operations did not enter TS 3.3.1.1 on two occasions duringWRNIs testing and take action per Table 3.3-1 to place the Reactor Coolant Flow-Low and Thermal Margin/Low Pressure protective channels in either the bypassed or tripped condition within 1 hour. Dominion took immediate action to inform the operators of this deficiency and entered this issue into their corrective action program under CR-06-02295 and CR-06-03586 for resolution.The failure by the operators to comply with TS was more than minor because itaffected the configuration control attribute of the Mitigating SystemsCornerstone. Specifically, deliberate operator action was required to ensure that proper reactor protection system coincidence was maintained. Because therewas no loss of safety function and the zero power mode switch was later verified to be in the "OFF" position, the failure to meet the TS action statement was considered to be of very low safety significance (Green). This finding is related to the cross-cutting aspects of problem identification and resolution in that Dominion did not identify the requirement to enter TS 3.3.1.1 for WRNIs duringtesting and failures and take action to place the Reactor Coolant Flow-Low and Thermal Margin/Low Pressure protective channel in either the bypassed or tripped condition within 1 hour. (Section 4OA5.2) | |||
===B.Licensee-Identified Violations=== | |||
One violation of very low significance, which was identified by Dominion, has beenreviewed by the inspectors. Corrective actions taken or planned by Dominion have been entered into the Dominion's corrective action program. This violation and Dominion's corrective action tracking number is listed in Section 4OA7 of this report. | |||

3Enclosure1R05Fire Protection (71111.05).1Quarterly Sample Review (71111.05Q - Four Unit 2 Samples and Four Unit 3 Samples) | |||
====a. Inspection Scope==== | |||
The inspectors performed eight walkdowns of fire protection areas during the inspectionperiod. The inspectors reviewed Dominion's fire protection program to determine the required fire protection design features, fire area boundaries, and combustible loading requirements for the selected areas. The inspectors walked down those areas to assess Dominion's control of transient combustible material and ignition sources. In addition, the inspectors evaluated the material condition and operational status of fire detection and suppression capabilities, fire barriers, and any related compensatorymeasures. The inspectors then compared the existing conditions of the inspected fire protection areas to the fire protection program requirements to ensure that selected program requirements were being met. Documents reviewed during the inspection are listed in the Attachment. The fire protection areas reviewed included:Unit 2*Auxiliary Building, General Area, 45'-6" Elevation (Fire Area A-1, Zone A);*Turbine Building, 14'-6" Elevation (Fire Area T-1, Zone A); | |||
*Turbine Building, 31'-6" Elevation (Fire Area T-1, Zone C); and | |||

====b. Findings==== | |||
No findings of significance were identified..2Annual Fire Drill Observation (71111.05A - One Site Sample) | |||
====a. Inspection Scope==== | |||
Unit 2 and Unit 3The inspectors observed personnel performance during a site fire brigade drill onFebruary 15, 2006, to evaluate the readiness of station personnel to prevent and fightfires. The drill simulated a fire in the Unit 2 Auxiliary Building (Fire Area T-8, T-9). The 4Enclosureinspectors observed the site fire brigade members using protective clothing, turnoutgear, and self-contained breathing apparatus and entering the fire area in a controlledmanner. The inspectors also observed the fire fighting equipment brought to the fire scene to evaluate whether sufficient equipment was available to effectively control and extinguish the simulated fire. The inspectors evaluated whether the permanent plant firehose lines were capable of reaching the fire area and whether hose usage was adequately simulated. The inspectors observed the fire fighting directions and communications between site fire brigade members. The inspectors verified that the pre-planned dr ill scenario was followed and observed the post-drill critique to evaluate ifthe drill objectives were satisfied and that any drill weaknesses were discussed andentered into the corrective action program. | |||

7Enclosure1R14Operator Performance During Non-Routine Evolutions and Events (71111.14 - Four Unit 2 Samples and Two Unit 3 Samples) | |||
====a. Inspection Scope==== | |||
The inspectors reviewed six samples of events that demonstrated personnelperformance in coping with non-routine evolutions and transients. The inspectors observed operations in the control room and reviewed applicable operating and alarm response procedures, technical specifications, plant process computer indications, and control room shift logs to evaluate the adequacy of Dominion's response to these events. The inspectors also verified the events were entered into the corrective action program to resolve identified adverse conditions. Documents reviewed during the inspection are listed in the Attachment.Unit 2*On January 9, 2006, at 4:35 a.m., with the Unit at 100 percent power, Operationsreceived a charging pump bladder failure primary plant computer (PPC) alarm and observed a decreasing "C" charging pump flow trend. Operators took action to restore charging pump flow by starting the "A" and "B" charging pumps and securing the "C" charging pump. When no flow was indicated, Operationspromptly secured all the charging pumps and isolated letdown. Operatorsentered Technical Specification Action Statement (TSAS) 3.0.3 for a loss of allcharging. Operators identified water leaking out of the "B" charging pumpdischarge pulsation dampener cover. Operators entered Abnormal Operating Procedure (AOP) 2568, "Reactor Coolant System Leak", and directed that the "B" charging pump be isolated. After the "B" charging pump was isolated, the leakage stopped. At 5:54 a.m., the "C" charging pump was started and properflow was observed. Operations exited TSAS 3.0.3 but entered TSAS 3.5.2.a forhaving one inoperable emergency core cooli ng system train. At 1:43 p.m., TSAS3.0.3 was re-entered based on a second loss of all charging. Dominion determined that the loss of all charging on both occasions was due to the migration of nitrogen from a failed discharge pulsation dampener to the common suction piping for all three charging pumps. The "A" and "C" charging pumps were filled and vented and by 3:14 p.m. and the "C" charging pump was restarted with proper operations observed. At 5:52 p.m., after a Reasonable Expectation of Continued Operability was approved that supported the running ofone charging pump, Operations exited TSAS 3.0.3 and re-entered TSAS 3.5.2.a. This issue was reviewed in detail in NRC Inspection Report 05000336/2006006,Section 4OA2.1.c.3 and was dispositioned as a Green NCV of 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion III, "Design Control."*On February 23, 2006, at approximately 10:22 a.m., with the Unit at 100 percentpower, Unit 2 experienced a partial loss of instrument air in the turbine building. | |||
The partial loss of instrument air caused a transient on the feedwater heater level control valves which resulted in the trip of both main feedwater pumps on loss of suction pressure. Operations personnel manually tripped the reactor and 8Enclosureturbine-generator as directed in AOPs. Operations personnel then enteredEmergency Operating Procedure (EOP) 2525, "Standard Post Trip Action." Both motor-driven auxiliary feedwater pumps automatically started as a result of theloss of main feedwater and operators restored steam generator water levels to the program band. Operations personnel received a call from the field that aninstrument air line nipple had broken off during maintenance activities. An upstream instrument air excess flow check valve prevented the entire air header from rapidly depressurizing and limited the air loss to components in the turbine building. In addition, maintenance personnel quickly responded by reconnecting the air line and applying a temporary wooden wedge to support the air line. The resident inspectors responded to the Unit 2 control room to observe crew response. The inspectors observed that the operators were following procedures, that the unit supervisor was demonstrating proper command and control, and that management was providing oversight and support. By 11:21 a.m., the Unit was stable in Mode 3.*On February 25, 2006, Operations personnel responded to a report of lightsmoke from the main turbine front standard as the main turbine was being rolled during plant startup. The site fire brigade was dispatched. After a report that arcing from the permanent magnet generator (PMG) was observed, the unitsupervisor ordered the manual tripping of the main turbine. The PMG is a small generator that supplies backup power to the turbine electrohydraulic control system. The reactor was stabilized at approximately 12 percent reactor power,steaming to the condenser via the bypass valves. Subsequent investigation indicated damage limited to the PMG. No safety related equipment was affected.*On February 25, 2006, Operations personnel responded to an unexpectedreduction in primary plant pressure during manual feedwater control during a plant startup. During the transient, primary plant pressure dropped from the normal system pressure (2250 psig) to 2185 psig. Operations personnel enteredTS 3.2.6, "DNB (Departure from Nucleate Boiling) Margin", since primary plantpressure dropped below the DNB TS limit of 2225 psig as specified in the core operating limits report. Control room operators took prompt action and restored pressure to above the DNB limit in approximately two minutes and exited the limiting condition of operation. Unit 3*On February 6, 2006, Operations personnel responded to a high radiationparticulate alarm in containment (CMS *22B, channel 2 only) and entered AOP 3573, "Radiation Monitor Alarm Response" and the applicable TS Limiting Conditions of Operations (LCOs). Actions included checking all indications for signs of a reactor coolant system (RCS) leak. No indications of a RCS leak wereapparent by reviewing water level traces of the volume control tank, leakage calculation outputs, and obtaining local containment air samples. Subsequent tothe containment alarm, it was apparent that the "B" control rod drive mechanism 9Enclosure(CRDM) cooling fan had failed and tripped off. Operators responded by startingthe standby "C" CRDM cooling fan, in accordance with standard operatingprocedures. It was determined that indications observed prior to failure were consistent with prior CRDM fan failure events. Local air samples indicated a radon based spike. Dominion determined this radiation spike was caused by dust particles associated with fan vibration and subsequent failure. Containment monitor CMS*22B returned to normal and the applicable TS LCOs were exited. | |||
Dominion entered this condition into their corrective action program (CR-06-01165 and CR-06-01167).*On February 18, 2006, with Unit 3 at 100 percent power, Operations personnelinitiated action to perform a blended makeup to the volume control tank (VCT). | |||
Shortly after initiating the makeup, Operations personnel observed "0" gallons per minute (gpm ) of boric acid flow. Within approximately thirty seconds, Operations personnel confirmed there was a boric acid flow problem and terminated the addition. The control room supervisor observed there had been approximately 41 gallons of primary water added to the VCT. In anticipation of an increase in reactor power due to the positive reactivity addition, Operations personnel reduced turbine load to ensure reactor power remained within licensed limits. | |||
====b. Findings==== | |||
=====Introduction.===== | |||
A Green self-revealing NCV of Technical Specification 6.8.1a,"Procedures," was identified for inadequate implementation of procedures which resulted in an unintended positive reactivity addition.Description. On February 18, 2006, with Unit 3 at 100 percent power, Operationspersonnel initiated action to perform a blended makeup to the VCT. Shortly after initiating the makeup, Operations personnel observed "0" gpm of boric acid flow. Within approximately thirty seconds, Operations personnel confirmed there was a boric acid flow problem and terminated the addition. The control room supervisor observed there had been approximately 41 gallons of primary water added to the VCT. In anticipated of an increase in reactor power due to the positive reactivity addition, Operations personnel reduced turbine load to ensure reactor power remained within licensed limits.Dominion's subsequent investigations revealed that the "A" boric acid storage tank wasinadvertently isolated the previous day during a surveillance test on the "B" boric acidtransfer pump. Specifically, Section 4.2.3 of Surveillance Procedure (SP)-3604C.5, "Boric Acid Pump 3CHS*P2B Operational Readiness Test," states, "To test 3CHS*V294, boric acid transfer pump "A" discharge check valve, check the following valves open: | |||
3CHS*V289, 3CHS*V290, 3CHS*295." The inspectors determined that theses valveswere closed vice check opened. This action isolated the "A" boric acid transfer pump and the boric acid gravity drain line from the "A" boric acid storage tank and manifested itself the following day during the planned blended makeup to the VCT. In addition, the inspectors determined that the operator failed to use peer checking for valve manipulation and failed to notify the control room that a change to a valve position 10Enclosureoccurred during a "CHECK" step (required by Operations Department AdministrativeControls). Upon discovery of the mis-positioned valves, Dominion took immediate corrective action to verify valve lineups for the "A" boric acid transfer pump and the "A" boric acid tank, placed the "B" storage acid tank in service, re-performed applicable steps of SP-3604C.5, and performed a surveillance test of the "A" boric acid pump toverify the pump was not damaged. The issue was entered into the corrective action program (CAP) as condition report CR-06-01662. The performance deficiency associated with this event is that the plant operators did not adequately implement aplant operating procedure that was within Dominion's ability to foresee and control. | |||
=====Analysis.===== | |||
Traditional enforcement does not apply because there were no actual safetyconsequences, impacts on the NRC's ability to perform its regulatory function, or willfulaspects to the violation. This issue was more than minor because it is associated with the human performance and configuration control attributes of the Initiating Events cornerstone. The finding is associated with an increase in the likelihood of initiating events in that an inadvertent positive reactivity addition actually occurred and operatorstook manual action to reduce turbine load. The inspectors determined that the self-revealing finding was of very low safety significance (Green) through performance of a Phase 1 SDP in accordance with Inspection Manual Chapter (IMC) 0609, Appendix A, "Significance Determination of Reactor Inspection Findings for At-Power Situations." | |||
Specifically, the amount of reactivity added was small (approximately 6 pcm) and consequently did not contribute to both the likelihood of a reactor trip and the unavailability of mitigation equipment or functions. This issue involved the cross-cuttingaspects of human performance in that operators failed to adequately implement procedures which led to an unintended positive reactivity addition.Enforcement. Technical Specification S 6.8.1a, "Procedures," states, in part, that"written procedures shall be established, implemented and maintained covering the activities specified in Appendix A of Regulatory Guidance 1.33, "Quality Assurance Program Requirements (Operations)." Appendix A, Item 3.n of this Regulatory Guide, requires procedures to be adequately implemented for the operation of the Chemical and Volume Control System. Contrary to this requirement, on February 17, 2006, during boric acid transfer pump testing, Operations mis-positioned valves which resulted in isolation of the "A" boric acid drain line and the "A" boric acid transfer pump. This action led to an inadvertent positive reactivity addition during an intended blended makeup the following day. This violation has been determined to have a very low safety significance and is in Dominion's corrective action program as CR-06-01662. Therefore, it is being treated as a non-cited violation consistent with Section VI.A.1 of the NRCEnforcement Policy (NCV 05000423/2006002-01, Mis-positioning of Boric AcidValves Resulting in Unintended Positive Reactivity Addition | |||

Dominion investigation revealed a compression fitting which was reassembled improperly on September 7, 2004, even though the leak tightness check wassuccessfully completed. Dominion also determined that the improperly assembled joint was most likely disturbed during the time period between the two tests. NRC InspectionReport 05000423/2005002, Section 1R19, documented a non-cited violation associatedwith this issue. The inspectors reviewed this LER with its associated condition reports to verify that the root cause and corrective actions related to the event described in theLER was adequate. The inspectors identified one new finding of minor significance. | |||
Code of Federal Regulations, 10 CFR 50.73, "Licensee Event Report System," requires that LERs be submitted within 60 days of the date of event occurrence. Contrary to thisrequirement, LER 05000423/2005-001-00 described an out of service condition for the hydrogen recombiners that occurred on February 24, 2005 and was not reported in this LER until September 1, 2005, (a time period of 189 days) which exceeded the 60 day reporting requirement. However, because of the very low safety significance and because the issue was entered into Dominion's corrective action program (CR-05-04348), this finding is being treated as a minor violation, consistent with Section VI.A of the Enforcement Policy, issued May 1, 2000 (65FR25368). This LER is closed. | |||

Dominion determined that the loss of the circulating water pumpswas related to a storm consisting of high winds and waves. The inspectors reviewed this LER with its associated condition reports to verify that the root cause and corrective actions related to the event described in the LER were adequate. No findings of significance were identified and no violation of NRC requirements occurred. Dominiondocumented this problem in CR-05-10322. This LER is closed.4OA5Other Activities.1(Closed) Unresolved Item 05000336/2004007-05, Main Steam Code Safety ValveTestingThis unresolved item (URI) was opened to determine how information supplied by a10 CFR 50 Appendix "B" certified vendor is reviewed including vendor-provided constant and testing tolerances, if Dominion could trace the measuring and test equipment to a national standard, and whether it was acceptable to test main steam code safety valves (MSSVs) with the vendor's test apparatus following an actual lift of the relief valve.The inspectors reviewed the vendor's response to questions on this matter anddetermined that K constant provided by the vendor was based on correlations which were supported by safety valve testing at various inlet conditions in which approximately 200 data points were taken to develop the correlation. This documentation also indicated that the tolerances during testing met the appropriate American Society of Mechanical Engineers and Technical Specification requirements which included traceability of test instrumentation to the appropriate standards bureaus. The vendoralso indicated that the test apparatus could be used to test valves that had beenpreviously lifted by an actual demand signal. However, the vendor noted that any othermethod other than the precise method specified in the vendor prescribed licenseeprocedure may result in an actual lift point slightly different from that established by strictcontrol of the test conditions provided by the procedure.The inspectors noted that this URI was opened in NRC Inspection Report05000336/2004007 in conjunction with a non-cited violation for the failure to take effective corrective actions to preclude MSSVs from lifting following design basis turbine trips/reactor trips from 100 percent power. Specifically, the inspectors noted that MSSVs lifted and reseated following two uncomplicated reactor trips at Unit 2 in March 2004 and that there was a previous history of MSSVs lifting and reseating following uncomplicated trips. This URI attempted to identify other likely causes for the frequent opening of MSSVs for uncomplicated reactor trips. In response to this concern, Dominion lowered operating Tave by 2 degrees Fahrenheit (F) which lowered steam generator pressure to establish a greater margin to the MSSV setpoints. Additionally, Dominion implemented Design Change (M2-05001) in January 2006 which lowered 23EnclosureTave by an additional 4 degrees F and lowered the Quick-Open Tave signals for theatmospheric and condenser dump valves from 557 degrees F to 554 degrees F to limit the likelihood of MSSV opening. These actions were demonstrated as successful during a February 23, 2006, reactor trip due to a loss of feedwater in which the MSSVs remained shut for the duration of the transient. The inspectors had no further questions on this issue, and therefore, URI 05000336/2004007-05 is closed. The inspectors determined that no additional violations of regulatory requirements occurred..2(Closed) URI 05000336/2005301-02, Potential Gap in Technical SpecificationRequirements for Nuclear Instrument OperabilityThis URI was opened to address a potential TS issue noted during development of theUnit 2 2005 written examination as follows:*Wide Range Nuclear Instruments (WRNIs) are required to be operable in modes 3, 4, 5.*Power Range Nuclear Instruments (PRNIs) are required to be operable in modes 1, 2.*Mode 2 is defined as Keff > | |||
===.99. *Power Range Nuclear Instruments come on scale at 0.1 percent power.The inspectors noted that it was possible to be in compliance with TechnicalSpecifications with the plant in Mode 2 with power still below the range of the PRNIs, butwith no requirement for operable WRNIs.=== | |||
This issue was been entered into Dominion's corrective action program as CR-05-03176, and was unresolved pending further NRC review .Introduction: The inspectors identified a Green NCV for the failure to comply with TS3.3.1.1, "Reactor Protection Instrumentation," during routine monthly surveillance testingof the WRNIs. | |||
=====Description:===== | |||
The inspectors reviewed Unit 2 TS requirements, licensee amendments,and the FSAR associated with the WRNIs. In addition, the inspectors interviewed Operations, Training, and Licensing personnel. The inspectors determined that TS 3.3.1.1, "Reactor Protective Instrumentation," required that the reactor protectiveinstrumentation channels and bypasses of Table 3.3-1 be operable. Table 3.3-1 of TS 3.3.1.1 required four operable channels of Reactor Coolant Flow-Low and Thermal Margin/Low Pressure (TMLP). The WRNIs provided an input to the zero power mode bypass relays for Reactor Coolant Flow-Low and TMLP reactor protective instrumentation channels. In accordance with Table 3.3-1 of TS 3.3.1.1, this ensuresthe availability of the automatic removal of the zero mode bypass function when thermalpower is greater than or equal to 5 percent of rated thermal power. The bypass relays allow bypassing these trip functions when the reactor is at very low power (< 5 percent)in order to perform certain pre-startup checks.Based on the review of applicable technical references and interviews, the inspectorsdetermined that when a WRNI is out of service, the automatic removal of the zero mode 24Enclosurebypass function is inoperable and thus the associated protective channels of ReactorCoolant Flow-Low and TMLP are also inoperable. During a review of control room logs from January 1 through March 31, 2006, the inspectors identified that Operations did notenter TS 3.3.1.1 on two occasions during WRNI testing. The inspectors determined thaton January 17, 2006, the "B" channel WRNI was inoperable for approximately 8 hours and on February 13, 2006, the "A" WRNI channel was inoperable for approximately 8 hours. In accordance with TS 3.3.1.1, operators should have taken action to place the associated Reactor Coolant Flow-Low and TMLP protective channels to either bypassed or tripped condition within 1 hour. Following a discussion with Operations, the inspectors determined that Operations do not routinely entered TS 3.3.1.1 forsurveillance testing of the WRNIs. In addition, the inspectors identified weaknesses in licensed operator knowledge of the relationship between the WRNIs and the Reactor Coolant Flow-Low and Thermal Margin/Low Pressure protective instrumentation channels. Dominion took immediate corrective action to inform the operators of the deficiency and entered this issue into their corrective action program under CR-06-02295 and CR-06-03586 for resolution. The performance deficiency associated with this issue was the failure of operators to enter TS 3.3.1.1 during surveillance testing ofWRNIs. | |||
=====Analysis:===== | |||
The failure by the operators to trip the inoperable channels or place in bypasswithin 1 hour was more than minor because it affected the configuration control attribute of the Mitigating Systems Cornerstone. Specifically, deliberate operator action is required by TS, to ensure that proper reactor protection system coincidence andreliability are maintained. Because there were no loss of safety function and the zeromode bypass switch was later determined to be in the "OFF" position (this ensured that the required protection for TMLP and Reactor Coolant Flow-Low was actually maintained), the failure to meet the TS was considered to be a very low safety significance (Green). This finding is related to the cross-cutting aspects of problem identification and resolution in that Operations did not identify the requirement to enterTS 3.3.1.1 for WRNIs during testing and failures.Enforcement: Technical Specification 3.3.1.1, "Reactor Protective Instrumentation,"requires four channels of Reactor Coolant Low-Flow and TMLP be operable with the availability to automatically remove the zero mode bypass when thermal power isgreater than or equal to 5 percent of rated thermal power. Contrary to this, on January 17, 2006, and February 13, 2006, Dominion did not comply with the required TS3.3.1.1 LCO action statement which states "the inoperable channel is placed in a eitherthe bypassed or tripped condition within 1 hour." Dominion continued in this condition for approximately 8 hours on January 17, 2006, and February 13, 2006, respectively. | |||
This violation has been determined to be of very low safety significance and was entered into Dominion's corrective action program (CR-06-02295 and CR-06-03586). | |||

25Enclosure.3(Closed) URI 05000423/2005012-02, DNC Integrated Assessment of Charging SystemPerformance following the April 17, 2005 Inadvertent Safety InjectionThe inspectors evaluated Dominion's actions to assess the performance of the chargingsystem in its high head safety injection (SI) function during the event on April 17, 2005. The inspector reviewed Dominion's assessments and other documents, interviewed station personnel, and performed walkdowns of the charging system. During awalkdown of the charging system, the inspectors identified uneven alignment of packingfollowers for two manual valves, one of which suffered packing extrusion during the April 17, 2005 event. The inspector noted that this misalignment could potentially contributeto loss of packing integrity similar to that seen during the event, though records indicated that this condition was not observed prior to the event. Dominion wrote condition reports CR-06-03022 and CR-06-03024 to further assess this issue.In reviewing this URI, the inspectors determined that Dominion adequately decreasedthe likelihood of a future water hammer event by improving f ill and vent procedures andby using post-maintenance ultrasonic inspection techniques to verify the system free ofvoids. The higher than expected contamination levels (and the potential to result inpost-accident accessibility issues) in the charging cubicle following the event wereadequately evaluated by Dominion and attributed to the letdow n system alignmentduring system recovery from its high head SI lineup. To address valve packingextrusion during the event and the potential existence of a containment bypass path,Dominion performed an assessment which identified likely causes for the loss of valve packing integrity, the principle likely causes being potential design issues with the alternative minimum flow system resulting in pressure transients, coupled withweakness in the valve packing program which resulted in degraded packing conditions. | |||
Actions to prevent recurrence were also identified, including changes to the alternative minimum flow system, using higher gland stress for composite packing in certainsystems, and recommendations to improve the overall valve packing program. Basedon the actions planned and taken to date, the inspector concluded that they weresufficient to address this URI. No violations of regulatory requirements were identified. | |||
This item is closed.4OA6Meetings, Including ExitAccess Controls to Radiologically Significant Areas Exit Meeting SummaryOn February 16, 2006, the inspector presented the inspection results to members ofDominion management. Dominion acknowledged the conclusions presented.Integrated Report Exit Meeting SummaryOn April 20, 2006, the resident inspectors presented the overall inspection results to Mr.J. Alan Price and other members of his staff, who acknowledged the findings. The inspectors asked Dominion whether any of the material examined during the inspection should be considered proprietary. No proprietary information was identified. | |||
26Enclosure4OA7Licensee Identified ViolationsThe following violation of very low significance (Green) was identified by Dominion andis a violation of NRC requirements which meet the criteria of Section VI of the NRCEnforcement Policy, NUREG-1600, for being dispositioned as a non-cited violation(NCV).Unit 2Technical Specification 4.8.1.1.2.C.9, "Emergency Diesel Generator [EDG] Hot RestartSurveillance," requires that the EDGs be tested to verify their hot restart capability. Contrary to this, it was identified by Dominion that this surveillance requirement was notperformed within the required periodicity plus grace period for the "B" EDG. This was identified in Dominion's corrective action program as CR-06-01050. This finding is of very low safety significance because an evaluation was performed, risk was adequately managed, and the "B" EDG was satisfactorily tested.ATTACHMENT: | |||

SUBJECT: MILLSTONE POWER STATION - NRC INTEGRATED INSPECTION REPORT05000336/2006002 AND 05000423/2006002
Dear Mr. Christian:
On March 31, 2006, the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed an inspection atyour Millstone Power Station Unit 2 and Unit 3. The enclosed inspection report documents theinspection results, which were discussed on April 20, 2006, with Mr. J. Alan Price and other members of your staff.The inspection examined activities conducted under your license as they relate to safety andcompliance with the Commission's rules and regulations and with the conditions of your license.
The inspectors reviewed selected procedures and records, observed activities, and interviewed personnel.This report documents one NRC-identified finding and one self-revealing finding of very lowsafety significance (Green). Both of these findings were determined to involve violations of
NRC requirements. However, because of their very low safety significance and because theyhave been entered into your corrective action program, the NRC is treating these issues asNon-Cited Violations (NCVs), in accordance with Section VI.A.1 of the NRC's EnforcementPolicy. Additionally, one licensee-identified violation which was determined to be of very low safety significance is listed in this report. If you contest any NCV in this report, you should provide a response within 30 days of the date of this inspection report, with the basis for your denial, to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, ATTN.: Document Control Desk, Washington DC 20555-0001; with copies to the Regional Administrator, Region I; the Director, Office of Enforcement, United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555-0001;
and the NRC Resident Inspector at the Millstone Power Station.In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 of the NRC's "Rules of Practice," a copy of this letter, itsenclosure, and your response (if any) will be available electronically for public inspection in the Mr. D. A. Christian2NRC Public Document Room or from the Publicly Available Records (PARS) com ponent ofNRC's document system (ADAMS). ADAMS is accessible from the NRC Website at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html (the Public Electronic Reading Room).

SUMMARY OF FINDINGS
IR 05000336/2006-002, 05000423/2006-002; 01/01/2006 - 03/31/2006; Millstone PowerStation, Unit 2 and Unit 3; Operator Performance During Non-Routine Plant Evolutions andEvents, Other Activities.The report covered a 3-month period of inspection by resident inspectors and announcedinspections by regional inspectors. Two (Green) non-cited violations (NCVs) were identified.
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 commercialnuclear power reactors is described in NUREG-1649, "Reactor Oversight Process," Revision 3,dated July 2000.A.
NRC-Identified and Self-Revealing Findings
Cornerstone: Initiating EventsUnit 3
- Green.
A Green self-revealing NCV of Technical Specification (TS) 6.8.1a,"Procedures," was identified for inadequate implementation of procedures which resulted in an unintended positive reactivity addition. On February 17, 2006,
Operations personnel mis-positioned three valves which isolated the "A" boric acid gravity feed flow path and the "A" boric acid transfer pump. This issue manifested itself the following day during a planned blended makeup to the Volume Control Tank which resulted in a small positive reactivity addition.
Dominion entered their procedural compliance error into their corrective action program for resolution. This issue involved the cross-cutting aspects of human performance in that operators failed to adequately implement procedures which lead to an unintended reactivity addition.This issue was more than minor because it is associated with the humanperformance and configuration control attributes of the Initiating Events cornerstone. The finding is associated with an increase in the likelihood of initiating events in that an inadvertent positive reactivity addition actually occurred. The inspectors determined that the self-revealing finding was of very low safety significance because the amount of reactivity added was small (approximately 6 pcm) and did not contribute to both the likelihood of a reactortrip and the unavailability of mitigation equipment or functions. (Section 1R14)
Cornerstone: Mitigating SystemsUnit 2
- Green.
The inspectors identified a Green NCV for the failure to comply with TS3.3.1.1, "Reactor Protection Instrumentation," during routine monthly surveillance ivtesting of the Wide Range Nuclear Instrument (WRNIs). During a review ofcontrol room logs from January 1, 2006 through March 31, 2006, the inspectors identified that Operations did not enter TS 3.3.1.1 on two occasions duringWRNIs testing and take action per Table 3.3-1 to place the Reactor Coolant Flow-Low and Thermal Margin/Low Pressure protective channels in either the bypassed or tripped condition within 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br />. Dominion took immediate action to inform the operators of this deficiency and entered this issue into their corrective action program under CR-06-02295 and CR-06-03586 for resolution.The failure by the operators to comply with TS was more than minor because itaffected the configuration control attribute of the Mitigating SystemsCornerstone. Specifically, deliberate operator action was required to ensure that proper reactor protection system coincidence was maintained. Because therewas no loss of safety function and the zero power mode switch was later verified to be in the "OFF" position, the failure to meet the TS action statement was considered to be of very low safety significance (Green). This finding is related to the cross-cutting aspects of problem identification and resolution in that Dominion did not identify the requirement to enter TS 3.3.1.1 for WRNIs duringtesting and failures and take action to place the Reactor Coolant Flow-Low and Thermal Margin/Low Pressure protective channel in either the bypassed or tripped condition within 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br />. (Section 4OA5.2)
B.Licensee-Identified Violations
One violation of very low significance, which was identified by Dominion, has beenreviewed by the inspectors. Corrective actions taken or planned by Dominion have been entered into the Dominion's corrective action program. This violation and Dominion's corrective action tracking number is listed in Section 4OA7 of this report.

The inspectors completed a detailed review of the alignment and condition of the Unit 2Auxiliary Feedwater System. The inspectors conducted a walkdown of the system toverify that the critical portions, such as valve positions, switches, and breakers, were correctly aligned in accordance with procedures to identify any discrepancies that may have had an effect on operability.The inspectors also conducted a review of outstanding maintenance work orders toverify that the deficiencies did not significantly affect the auxiliary feedwater systemfunction. In addition, the inspectors discussed system health with t he system engineerand reviewed the condition report database to verify that equipment alignment problems were being identified and appropriately resolved. Documents reviewed during the inspection are listed in the Attachment.
b. Findings
No findings of significance were identified.
3Enclosure1R05Fire Protection (71111.05).1Quarterly Sample Review (71111.05Q - Four Unit 2 Samples and Four Unit 3 Samples)
a. Inspection Scope
The inspectors performed eight walkdowns of fire protection areas during the inspectionperiod. The inspectors reviewed Dominion's fire protection program to determine the required fire protection design features, fire area boundaries, and combustible loading requirements for the selected areas. The inspectors walked down those areas to assess Dominion's control of transient combustible material and ignition sources. In addition, the inspectors evaluated the material condition and operational status of fire detection and suppression capabilities, fire barriers, and any related compensatorymeasures. The inspectors then compared the existing conditions of the inspected fire protection areas to the fire protection program requirements to ensure that selected program requirements were being met. Documents reviewed during the inspection are listed in the Attachment. The fire protection areas reviewed included:Unit 2*Auxiliary Building, General Area, 45'-6" Elevation (Fire Area A-1, Zone A);*Turbine Building, 14'-6" Elevation (Fire Area T-1, Zone A);
- Turbine Building, 31'-6" Elevation (Fire Area T-1, Zone C); and

b. Findings
No findings of significance were identified..2Annual Fire Drill Observation (71111.05A - One Site Sample)
a. Inspection Scope
Unit 2 and Unit 3The inspectors observed personnel performance during a site fire brigade drill onFebruary 15, 2006, to evaluate the readiness of station personnel to prevent and fightfires. The drill simulated a fire in the Unit 2 Auxiliary Building (Fire Area T-8, T-9). The 4Enclosureinspectors observed the site fire brigade members using protective clothing, turnoutgear, and self-contained breathing apparatus and entering the fire area in a controlledmanner. The inspectors also observed the fire fighting equipment brought to the fire scene to evaluate whether sufficient equipment was available to effectively control and extinguish the simulated fire. The inspectors evaluated whether the permanent plant firehose lines were capable of reaching the fire area and whether hose usage was adequately simulated. The inspectors observed the fire fighting directions and communications between site fire brigade members. The inspectors verified that the pre-planned dr ill scenario was followed and observed the post-drill critique to evaluate ifthe drill objectives were satisfied and that any drill weaknesses were discussed andentered into the corrective action program.

7Enclosure1R14Operator Performance During Non-Routine Evolutions and Events (71111.14 - Four Unit 2 Samples and Two Unit 3 Samples)
a. Inspection Scope
The inspectors reviewed six samples of events that demonstrated personnelperformance in coping with non-routine evolutions and transients. The inspectors observed operations in the control room and reviewed applicable operating and alarm response procedures, technical specifications, plant process computer indications, and control room shift logs to evaluate the adequacy of Dominion's response to these events. The inspectors also verified the events were entered into the corrective action program to resolve identified adverse conditions. Documents reviewed during the inspection are listed in the Attachment.Unit 2*On January 9, 2006, at 4:35 a.m., with the Unit at 100 percent power, Operationsreceived a charging pump bladder failure primary plant computer (PPC) alarm and observed a decreasing "C" charging pump flow trend. Operators took action to restore charging pump flow by starting the "A" and "B" charging pumps and securing the "C" charging pump. When no flow was indicated, Operationspromptly secured all the charging pumps and isolated letdown. Operatorsentered Technical Specification Action Statement (TSAS) 3.0.3 for a loss of allcharging. Operators identified water leaking out of the "B" charging pumpdischarge pulsation dampener cover. Operators entered Abnormal Operating Procedure (AOP) 2568, "Reactor Coolant System Leak", and directed that the "B" charging pump be isolated. After the "B" charging pump was isolated, the leakage stopped. At 5:54 a.m., the "C" charging pump was started and properflow was observed. Operations exited TSAS 3.0.3 but entered TSAS 3.5.2.a forhaving one inoperable emergency core cooli ng system train. At 1:43 p.m., TSAS3.0.3 was re-entered based on a second loss of all charging. Dominion determined that the loss of all charging on both occasions was due to the migration of nitrogen from a failed discharge pulsation dampener to the common suction piping for all three charging pumps. The "A" and "C" charging pumps were filled and vented and by 3:14 p.m. and the "C" charging pump was restarted with proper operations observed. At 5:52 p.m., after a Reasonable Expectation of Continued Operability was approved that supported the running ofone charging pump, Operations exited TSAS 3.0.3 and re-entered TSAS 3.5.2.a. This issue was reviewed in detail in NRC Inspection Report 05000336/2006006,Section 4OA2.1.c.3 and was dispositioned as a Green NCV of 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion III, "Design Control."*On February 23, 2006, at approximately 10:22 a.m., with the Unit at 100 percentpower, Unit 2 experienced a partial loss of instrument air in the turbine building.
The partial loss of instrument air caused a transient on the feedwater heater level control valves which resulted in the trip of both main feedwater pumps on loss of suction pressure. Operations personnel manually tripped the reactor and 8Enclosureturbine-generator as directed in AOPs. Operations personnel then enteredEmergency Operating Procedure (EOP) 2525, "Standard Post Trip Action." Both motor-driven auxiliary feedwater pumps automatically started as a result of theloss of main feedwater and operators restored steam generator water levels to the program band. Operations personnel received a call from the field that aninstrument air line nipple had broken off during maintenance activities. An upstream instrument air excess flow check valve prevented the entire air header from rapidly depressurizing and limited the air loss to components in the turbine building. In addition, maintenance personnel quickly responded by reconnecting the air line and applying a temporary wooden wedge to support the air line. The resident inspectors responded to the Unit 2 control room to observe crew response. The inspectors observed that the operators were following procedures, that the unit supervisor was demonstrating proper command and control, and that management was providing oversight and support. By 11:21 a.m., the Unit was stable in Mode 3.*On February 25, 2006, Operations personnel responded to a report of lightsmoke from the main turbine front standard as the main turbine was being rolled during plant startup. The site fire brigade was dispatched. After a report that arcing from the permanent magnet generator (PMG) was observed, the unitsupervisor ordered the manual tripping of the main turbine. The PMG is a small generator that supplies backup power to the turbine electrohydraulic control system. The reactor was stabilized at approximately 12 percent reactor power,steaming to the condenser via the bypass valves. Subsequent investigation indicated damage limited to the PMG. No safety related equipment was affected.*On February 25, 2006, Operations personnel responded to an unexpectedreduction in primary plant pressure during manual feedwater control during a plant startup. During the transient, primary plant pressure dropped from the normal system pressure (2250 psig) to 2185 psig. Operations personnel enteredTS 3.2.6, "DNB (Departure from Nucleate Boiling) Margin", since primary plantpressure dropped below the DNB TS limit of 2225 psig as specified in the core operating limits report. Control room operators took prompt action and restored pressure to above the DNB limit in approximately two minutes and exited the limiting condition of operation. Unit 3*On February 6, 2006, Operations personnel responded to a high radiationparticulate alarm in containment (CMS *22B, channel 2 only) and entered AOP 3573, "Radiation Monitor Alarm Response" and the applicable TS Limiting Conditions of Operations (LCOs). Actions included checking all indications for signs of a reactor coolant system (RCS) leak. No indications of a RCS leak wereapparent by reviewing water level traces of the volume control tank, leakage calculation outputs, and obtaining local containment air samples. Subsequent tothe containment alarm, it was apparent that the "B" control rod drive mechanism 9Enclosure(CRDM) cooling fan had failed and tripped off. Operators responded by startingthe standby "C" CRDM cooling fan, in accordance with standard operatingprocedures. It was determined that indications observed prior to failure were consistent with prior CRDM fan failure events. Local air samples indicated a radon based spike. Dominion determined this radiation spike was caused by dust particles associated with fan vibration and subsequent failure. Containment monitor CMS*22B returned to normal and the applicable TS LCOs were exited.
Dominion entered this condition into their corrective action program (CR-06-01165 and CR-06-01167).*On February 18, 2006, with Unit 3 at 100 percent power, Operations personnelinitiated action to perform a blended makeup to the volume control tank (VCT).
Shortly after initiating the makeup, Operations personnel observed "0" gallons per minute (gpm ) of boric acid flow. Within approximately thirty seconds, Operations personnel confirmed there was a boric acid flow problem and terminated the addition. The control room supervisor observed there had been approximately 41 gallons of primary water added to the VCT. In anticipation of an increase in reactor power due to the positive reactivity addition, Operations personnel reduced turbine load to ensure reactor power remained within licensed limits.

Introduction.
A Green self-revealing NCV of Technical Specification 6.8.1a,"Procedures," was identified for inadequate implementation of procedures which resulted in an unintended positive reactivity addition.Description. On February 18, 2006, with Unit 3 at 100 percent power, Operationspersonnel initiated action to perform a blended makeup to the VCT. Shortly after initiating the makeup, Operations personnel observed "0" gpm of boric acid flow. Within approximately thirty seconds, Operations personnel confirmed there was a boric acid flow problem and terminated the addition. The control room supervisor observed there had been approximately 41 gallons of primary water added to the VCT. In anticipated of an increase in reactor power due to the positive reactivity addition, Operations personnel reduced turbine load to ensure reactor power remained within licensed limits.Dominion's subsequent investigations revealed that the "A" boric acid storage tank wasinadvertently isolated the previous day during a surveillance test on the "B" boric acidtransfer pump. Specifically, Section 4.2.3 of Surveillance Procedure (SP)-3604C.5, "Boric Acid Pump 3CHS*P2B Operational Readiness Test," states, "To test 3CHS*V294, boric acid transfer pump "A" discharge check valve, check the following valves open:
3CHS*V289, 3CHS*V290, 3CHS*295." The inspectors determined that theses valveswere closed vice check opened. This action isolated the "A" boric acid transfer pump and the boric acid gravity drain line from the "A" boric acid storage tank and manifested itself the following day during the planned blended makeup to the VCT. In addition, the inspectors determined that the operator failed to use peer checking for valve manipulation and failed to notify the control room that a change to a valve position 10Enclosureoccurred during a "CHECK" step (required by Operations Department AdministrativeControls). Upon discovery of the mis-positioned valves, Dominion took immediate corrective action to verify valve lineups for the "A" boric acid transfer pump and the "A" boric acid tank, placed the "B" storage acid tank in service, re-performed applicable steps of SP-3604C.5, and performed a surveillance test of the "A" boric acid pump toverify the pump was not damaged. The issue was entered into the corrective action program (CAP) as condition report CR-06-01662. The performance deficiency associated with this event is that the plant operators did not adequately implement aplant operating procedure that was within Dominion's ability to foresee and control.
Analysis.
Traditional enforcement does not apply because there were no actual safetyconsequences, impacts on the NRC's ability to perform its regulatory function, or willfulaspects to the violation. This issue was more than minor because it is associated with the human performance and configuration control attributes of the Initiating Events cornerstone. The finding is associated with an increase in the likelihood of initiating events in that an inadvertent positive reactivity addition actually occurred and operatorstook manual action to reduce turbine load. The inspectors determined that the self-revealing finding was of very low safety significance (Green) through performance of a Phase 1 SDP in accordance with Inspection Manual Chapter (IMC) 0609, Appendix A, "Significance Determination of Reactor Inspection Findings for At-Power Situations."
Specifically, the amount of reactivity added was small (approximately 6 pcm) and consequently did not contribute to both the likelihood of a reactor trip and the unavailability of mitigation equipment or functions. This issue involved the cross-cuttingaspects of human performance in that operators failed to adequately implement procedures which led to an unintended positive reactivity addition.Enforcement. Technical Specification S 6.8.1a, "Procedures," states, in part, that"written procedures shall be established, implemented and maintained covering the activities specified in Appendix A of Regulatory Guidance 1.33, "Quality Assurance Program Requirements (Operations)." Appendix A, Item 3.n of this Regulatory Guide, requires procedures to be adequately implemented for the operation of the Chemical and Volume Control System. Contrary to this requirement, on February 17, 2006, during boric acid transfer pump testing, Operations mis-positioned valves which resulted in isolation of the "A" boric acid drain line and the "A" boric acid transfer pump. This action led to an inadvertent positive reactivity addition during an intended blended makeup the following day. This violation has been determined to have a very low safety significance and is in Dominion's corrective action program as CR-06-01662. Therefore, it is being treated as a non-cited violation consistent with Section VI.A.1 of the NRCEnforcement Policy (NCV 05000423/2006002-01, Mis-positioning of Boric AcidValves Resulting in Unintended Positive Reactivity Addition
).

This was accomplished by reviewing thedescription of each new CR and attending daily management review committee meetings..2Annual Sample Review Unit 3
a. Inspection Scope
The inspectors selected CRs associated with the Unit 3 Charging System. The reportswere reviewed to ensure that the full extent of the issues were identified, an appropriateevaluation was performed, and appropriate corrective actions were specified, prioritized, and implemented. The inspectors evaluated the reports against the requirements of Dominion's corrective action program as delineated in MP-16-CAP-FAP01.1, "CR Screening and Review," and 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion XVI, "Corrective Actions." Documents reviewed during the inspection are listed in the Attachment.
Unresolved Item (URI)05000423/2005012-02, "DNC Integrated Assessment ofCharging System Performance Following the April 17, 2005 Inadvertent Safety Injection," was selected as a sample as part of this annual review. Details of this review are contained in Section

b. Findings
and ConclusionsNo findings of significance were identified.
21Enclosure.4Cross-References to PI&R Findings Documented Elsewhere in this ReportSection 4OA5.2 describes a finding for the failure to comply with TS during wide rangenuclear instruments (WRNI) testing. Specifically, Dominion did not identify the requirement to enter TS 3.3.1.1 for WRNIs during testing and failures.4OA3Event Followup (71153 - One Unit 2 Sample and Two Unit 3 Samples).1Unit 2 Trip
a. Inspection Scope
On February 23, 2006, Unit 2 Operations personnel responded to a loss of instrumentair in the turbine building resulting in a loss of main feedwater and a manual reactor trip.
Section 1R14 provides a detailed discussion on this event. Resident inspectors responded to the control room, verified emergency action level and notification considerations, and reviewed the event in accordance with Inspection Procedure 71153, "Event Follow-up", and Management Directive 8.3, "NRC Incident InvestigationProgram".
b. Findings
No findings of significance were identified..2(Closed) Licensee Event Report (LER) 05000423/2005-001-00, Hydrogen RecombinersOut of Service On February 24, 2005, with Unit 3 at 100 percent power, during performance of asurveillance test on the "A" hydrogen recombiner, the system failed a leak tightness test. Dominion investigation revealed a compression fitting which was reassembled improperly on September 7, 2004, even though the leak tightness check wassuccessfully completed. Dominion also determined that the improperly assembled joint was most likely disturbed during the time period between the two tests. NRC InspectionReport 05000423/2005002, Section 1R19, documented a non-cited violation associatedwith this issue. The inspectors reviewed this LER with its associated condition reports to verify that the root cause and corrective actions related to the event described in theLER was adequate. The inspectors identified one new finding of minor significance.
Code of Federal Regulations, 10 CFR 50.73, "Licensee Event Report System," requires that LERs be submitted within 60 days of the date of event occurrence. Contrary to thisrequirement, LER 05000423/2005-001-00 described an out of service condition for the hydrogen recombiners that occurred on February 24, 2005 and was not reported in this LER until September 1, 2005, (a time period of 189 days) which exceeded the 60 day reporting requirement. However, because of the very low safety significance and because the issue was entered into Dominion's corrective action program (CR-05-04348), this finding is being treated as a minor violation, consistent with Section VI.A of the Enforcement Policy, issued May 1, 2000 (65FR25368). This LER is closed.
22Enclosure.3(Closed) LER 05000423/2005-003-00, Manual Reactor Trip Due to Loss of TwoCirculating Water Pumps in Same Condenser SectionOn September 29, 2005, with the Unit in Mode 1 at 100 percent power, Unit 3 reactorwas manually tripped due to a loss of two circulating water pumps in the same condenser section. Dominion determined that the loss of the circulating water pumpswas related to a storm consisting of high winds and waves. The inspectors reviewed this LER with its associated condition reports to verify that the root cause and corrective actions related to the event described in the LER were adequate. No findings of significance were identified and no violation of NRC requirements occurred. Dominiondocumented this problem in CR-05-10322. This LER is closed.4OA5Other Activities.1(Closed) Unresolved Item 05000336/2004007-05, Main Steam Code Safety ValveTestingThis unresolved item (URI) was opened to determine how information supplied by a10 CFR 50 Appendix "B" certified vendor is reviewed including vendor-provided constant and testing tolerances, if Dominion could trace the measuring and test equipment to a national standard, and whether it was acceptable to test main steam code safety valves (MSSVs) with the vendor's test apparatus following an actual lift of the relief valve.The inspectors reviewed the vendor's response to questions on this matter anddetermined that K constant provided by the vendor was based on correlations which were supported by safety valve testing at various inlet conditions in which approximately 200 data points were taken to develop the correlation. This documentation also indicated that the tolerances during testing met the appropriate American Society of Mechanical Engineers and Technical Specification requirements which included traceability of test instrumentation to the appropriate standards bureaus. The vendoralso indicated that the test apparatus could be used to test valves that had beenpreviously lifted by an actual demand signal. However, the vendor noted that any othermethod other than the precise method specified in the vendor prescribed licenseeprocedure may result in an actual lift point slightly different from that established by strictcontrol of the test conditions provided by the procedure.The inspectors noted that this URI was opened in NRC Inspection Report05000336/2004007 in conjunction with a non-cited violation for the failure to take effective corrective actions to preclude MSSVs from lifting following design basis turbine trips/reactor trips from 100 percent power. Specifically, the inspectors noted that MSSVs lifted and reseated following two uncomplicated reactor trips at Unit 2 in March 2004 and that there was a previous history of MSSVs lifting and reseating following uncomplicated trips. This URI attempted to identify other likely causes for the frequent opening of MSSVs for uncomplicated reactor trips. In response to this concern, Dominion lowered operating Tave by 2 degrees Fahrenheit (F) which lowered steam generator pressure to establish a greater margin to the MSSV setpoints. Additionally, Dominion implemented Design Change (M2-05001) in January 2006 which lowered 23EnclosureTave by an additional 4 degrees F and lowered the Quick-Open Tave signals for theatmospheric and condenser dump valves from 557 degrees F to 554 degrees F to limit the likelihood of MSSV opening. These actions were demonstrated as successful during a February 23, 2006, reactor trip due to a loss of feedwater in which the MSSVs remained shut for the duration of the transient. The inspectors had no further questions on this issue, and therefore, URI 05000336/2004007-05 is closed. The inspectors determined that no additional violations of regulatory requirements occurred..2(Closed) URI 05000336/2005301-02, Potential Gap in Technical SpecificationRequirements for Nuclear Instrument OperabilityThis URI was opened to address a potential TS issue noted during development of theUnit 2 2005 written examination as follows:*Wide Range Nuclear Instruments (WRNIs) are required to be operable in modes 3, 4, 5.*Power Range Nuclear Instruments (PRNIs) are required to be operable in modes 1, 2.*Mode 2 is defined as Keff >
.99. *Power Range Nuclear Instruments come on scale at 0.1 percent power.The inspectors noted that it was possible to be in compliance with TechnicalSpecifications with the plant in Mode 2 with power still below the range of the PRNIs, butwith no requirement for operable WRNIs.
This issue was been entered into Dominion's corrective action program as CR-05-03176, and was unresolved pending further NRC review .Introduction: The inspectors identified a Green NCV for the failure to comply with TS3.3.1.1, "Reactor Protection Instrumentation," during routine monthly surveillance testingof the WRNIs.
Description:
The inspectors reviewed Unit 2 TS requirements, licensee amendments,and the FSAR associated with the WRNIs. In addition, the inspectors interviewed Operations, Training, and Licensing personnel. The inspectors determined that TS 3.3.1.1, "Reactor Protective Instrumentation," required that the reactor protectiveinstrumentation channels and bypasses of Table 3.3-1 be operable. Table 3.3-1 of TS 3.3.1.1 required four operable channels of Reactor Coolant Flow-Low and Thermal Margin/Low Pressure (TMLP). The WRNIs provided an input to the zero power mode bypass relays for Reactor Coolant Flow-Low and TMLP reactor protective instrumentation channels. In accordance with Table 3.3-1 of TS 3.3.1.1, this ensuresthe availability of the automatic removal of the zero mode bypass function when thermalpower is greater than or equal to 5 percent of rated thermal power. The bypass relays allow bypassing these trip functions when the reactor is at very low power (< 5 percent)in order to perform certain pre-startup checks.Based on the review of applicable technical references and interviews, the inspectorsdetermined that when a WRNI is out of service, the automatic removal of the zero mode 24Enclosurebypass function is inoperable and thus the associated protective channels of ReactorCoolant Flow-Low and TMLP are also inoperable. During a review of control room logs from January 1 through March 31, 2006, the inspectors identified that Operations did notenter TS 3.3.1.1 on two occasions during WRNI testing. The inspectors determined thaton January 17, 2006, the "B" channel WRNI was inoperable for approximately 8 hours9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br /> and on February 13, 2006, the "A" WRNI channel was inoperable for approximately 8 hours9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br />. In accordance with TS 3.3.1.1, operators should have taken action to place the associated Reactor Coolant Flow-Low and TMLP protective channels to either bypassed or tripped condition within 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br />. Following a discussion with Operations, the inspectors determined that Operations do not routinely entered TS 3.3.1.1 forsurveillance testing of the WRNIs. In addition, the inspectors identified weaknesses in licensed operator knowledge of the relationship between the WRNIs and the Reactor Coolant Flow-Low and Thermal Margin/Low Pressure protective instrumentation channels. Dominion took immediate corrective action to inform the operators of the deficiency and entered this issue into their corrective action program under CR-06-02295 and CR-06-03586 for resolution. The performance deficiency associated with this issue was the failure of operators to enter TS 3.3.1.1 during surveillance testing ofWRNIs.
Analysis:
The failure by the operators to trip the inoperable channels or place in bypasswithin 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br /> was more than minor because it affected the configuration control attribute of the Mitigating Systems Cornerstone. Specifically, deliberate operator action is required by TS, to ensure that proper reactor protection system coincidence andreliability are maintained. Because there were no loss of safety function and the zeromode bypass switch was later determined to be in the "OFF" position (this ensured that the required protection for TMLP and Reactor Coolant Flow-Low was actually maintained), the failure to meet the TS was considered to be a very low safety significance (Green). This finding is related to the cross-cutting aspects of problem identification and resolution in that Operations did not identify the requirement to enterTS 3.3.1.1 for WRNIs during testing and failures.Enforcement: Technical Specification 3.3.1.1, "Reactor Protective Instrumentation,"requires four channels of Reactor Coolant Low-Flow and TMLP be operable with the availability to automatically remove the zero mode bypass when thermal power isgreater than or equal to 5 percent of rated thermal power. Contrary to this, on January 17, 2006, and February 13, 2006, Dominion did not comply with the required TS3.3.1.1 LCO action statement which states "the inoperable channel is placed in a eitherthe bypassed or tripped condition within 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br />." Dominion continued in this condition for approximately 8 hours9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br /> on January 17, 2006, and February 13, 2006, respectively.
This violation has been determined to be of very low safety significance and was entered into Dominion's corrective action program (CR-06-02295 and CR-06-03586).
Therefore, this violation is being treated as a non-cited violation (NCV), consistent withSection VI.A.1 of the NRC Enforcement Policy.

25Enclosure.3(Closed) URI 05000423/2005012-02, DNC Integrated Assessment of Charging SystemPerformance following the April 17, 2005 Inadvertent Safety InjectionThe inspectors evaluated Dominion's actions to assess the performance of the chargingsystem in its high head safety injection (SI) function during the event on April 17, 2005. The inspector reviewed Dominion's assessments and other documents, interviewed station personnel, and performed walkdowns of the charging system. During awalkdown of the charging system, the inspectors identified uneven alignment of packingfollowers for two manual valves, one of which suffered packing extrusion during the April 17, 2005 event. The inspector noted that this misalignment could potentially contributeto loss of packing integrity similar to that seen during the event, though records indicated that this condition was not observed prior to the event. Dominion wrote condition reports CR-06-03022 and CR-06-03024 to further assess this issue.In reviewing this URI, the inspectors determined that Dominion adequately decreasedthe likelihood of a future water hammer event by improving f ill and vent procedures andby using post-maintenance ultrasonic inspection techniques to verify the system free ofvoids. The higher than expected contamination levels (and the potential to result inpost-accident accessibility issues) in the charging cubicle following the event wereadequately evaluated by Dominion and attributed to the letdow n system alignmentduring system recovery from its high head SI lineup. To address valve packingextrusion during the event and the potential existence of a containment bypass path,Dominion performed an assessment which identified likely causes for the loss of valve packing integrity, the principle likely causes being potential design issues with the alternative minimum flow system resulting in pressure transients, coupled withweakness in the valve packing program which resulted in degraded packing conditions.
Actions to prevent recurrence were also identified, including changes to the alternative minimum flow system, using higher gland stress for composite packing in certainsystems, and recommendations to improve the overall valve packing program. Basedon the actions planned and taken to date, the inspector concluded that they weresufficient to address this URI. No violations of regulatory requirements were identified.
This item is closed.4OA6Meetings, Including ExitAccess Controls to Radiologically Significant Areas Exit Meeting SummaryOn February 16, 2006, the inspector presented the inspection results to members ofDominion management. Dominion acknowledged the conclusions presented.Integrated Report Exit Meeting SummaryOn April 20, 2006, the resident inspectors presented the overall inspection results to Mr.J. Alan Price and other members of his staff, who acknowledged the findings. The inspectors asked Dominion whether any of the material examined during the inspection should be considered proprietary. No proprietary information was identified.
26Enclosure4OA7Licensee Identified ViolationsThe following violation of very low significance (Green) was identified by Dominion andis a violation of NRC requirements which meet the criteria of Section VI of the NRCEnforcement Policy, NUREG-1600, for being dispositioned as a non-cited violation(NCV).Unit 2Technical Specification 4.8.1.1.2.C.9, "Emergency Diesel Generator [EDG] Hot RestartSurveillance," requires that the EDGs be tested to verify their hot restart capability. Contrary to this, it was identified by Dominion that this surveillance requirement was notperformed within the required periodicity plus grace period for the "B" EDG. This was identified in Dominion's corrective action program as CR-06-01050. This finding is of very low safety significance because an evaluation was performed, risk was adequately managed, and the "B" EDG was satisfactorily tested.ATTACHMENT:
