=SUMMARY= | |||
Dear Mr. Christian: | |||
On June 30, 2006, the United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed aninspection at your North Anna Power Station, Units 1 and 2. The enclosed integratedinspection report documents the inspection findings, which were discussed on July 14, 2006, with Mr. Jack Davis and other members of your staff. The inspections examined activities conducted under your licenses as they relate to safety andcompliance with the Commission's rules and regulations and with the conditions of your licenses. The inspectors reviewed selected procedures and records, observed activities, and interviewed personnel.Based upon the results of this inspection, one NRC-identified finding and two self-revealingfindings of very low safety significance (Green) were identified. These three findings were determined to involve violations of NRC requirements. However, because of their very lowsafety significance and because they were entered into your corrective action program, the NRC is treating these three findings as non-cited violations (NCVs) consistent with Section VI.Aof the NRC Enforcement Policy. In addition, three licensee-identified violations, which weredetermined to be of very low safety significance (Green), are listed in Section 4OA7 of this report. If you contest any non-cited violation 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 United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission, ATTN: Document Control Desk, Washington, D.C. | |||

Routine Integrated Resident and Regional Report. Inservice Inspection. 10 CFR 50.59 Modification Inspection. Biennial Heat Sink Performance Inspection.The report covered a three-month period of inspection by the resident inspectors, senior reactorinspectors, and reactor inspectors from the region. One NRC-identified and two self-revealingGreen findings were identified. These were determined to be Non-cited Violations (NCVs). 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: Mitigating Systems=== | |||
: '''Green.''' | |||
A self-revealing non-cited violation of 10 CFR 50 Appendix B CriterionXVI was identified for inadequate corrective action which resulted in an inoperable control room chiller. On May 16, 2006, the chiller failed to start due toa faulty chilled water flow switch. Previously, a work order was initiated as part of a corrective action document to replace the flow switch due to aging. | |||
However, the work order was completed without performing the switch replacement. The licensee documented this failure in their corrective action program.The finding is more than minor due to the impact on the Mitigating Systemscornerstone objective to ensure the availability, reliability, and capability ofsystems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable c onsequencesand its attribute of procedure quality. The finding is of very low safety significance because it did not result in a loss of safety function of one or more trains and was not potentially risk-significant due to possible external events. | |||
The cause of this finding involved the problem identification and resolution cross-cutting area based on the failure of the work order to complete the actions of a corrective action document. (Section 1R12)*Green. The inspectors identified a non-cited violation of Technical Specification(TS) 5.4.1a associated with the licensee's failure to correctly implement a maintenance procedure which resulted in a failure of a Unit 1 pressurizer power operated relief valve (PORV) on March 31, 2006. The inspectors' review of the root cause evaluation in conjunction with the associated work order and interview with plant personnel resulted in the conclusion that a critical cause of the degraded PORV was a failure to correctly implement the maintenance procedure by installing AC voltage versus the required DC voltage solenoid operated valves 4Enclosurein the PORV control system. The licensee entered this problem into theircorrective action program.This finding is more than minor due to the impact on the Mitigating Systemscornerstone objective to ensure the availability, reliability, and capability ofsystems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable c onsequencesand its attribute of procedure quality. The finding is of very low safety significance because it did not result in a loss of safety function of one or more trains and was not potentially risk-significant due to possible external events. | |||
This finding involved the human performance cross-cutting area based on the failure to implement a procedure correctly. (Section 1R15)*Green. A self-revealing non-cited violation of 10 CFR 50 Appendix B CriterionXVI was identified for the licensee's failure to properly identify and evaluate the extent of condition involving high cycle fatigue of components associated withEmergency Diesel Generators (EDGs). The failure to correct this condition adverse to quality resulted in a broken lube oil filter vent line and subsequent inoperability of the Unit 2 J EDG on October 16, 2005. The licensee repairedthis problem through their corrective action program.This finding is more than minor due to the impact on the Mitigating Systemscornerstone objective to ensure the availability, reliability, and capability ofsystems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable c onsequencesand its attribute of procedure quality. The finding is of very low safety significance because it did not result in a loss of safety function of one or more trains and was not potentially risk-significant due to possible external events. | |||
This finding impacts the cross-cutting area of problem identification and resolution, in that, the licensee failed to properly identify and evaluate the extentof condition involving high cycle fatigue of components associated with theEDGs. (Section 4OA2) | |||
===B.Licensee-Identified Violations=== | |||
Three violations of very low safety significance were identified by the licensee, and havebeen reviewed by the inspectors. Corrective actions taken or planned by the licensee have been entered into the licensee's corrective action program. These violations and their corresponding corrective action tracking numbers are listed in Section 4OA7 of this report. | |||

==1R07 Heat Sink PerformanceBiennial Review== | |||
====a. Inspection Scope==== | |||
The inspectors reviewed inspection records, test results, maintenance work orders, andother documentation to ensure that heat exchanger (HX) deficiencies that could mask ordegrade performance were identified and corrected. The test procedures and records were also reviewed to verify that these were consistent with Generic Letter (GL) 89-13 licensee commitments, and industry guidelines. Risk significant heat exchangers (HX)reviewed included the Component Cooling System (CC) HXs, and Control Room Chillers.The inspectors reviewed HX inspection and cleaning work instructions, workmaintenance history, and completed inspection records for all the safety related HXs selected. The documents were reviewed to verify inspection methods were consistent with industry standards, to verify HX design margins were being maintained, and to verify performance of the HXs under the current maintenance frequency was adequate.The inspectors also reviewed general health of the service water system via review ofdesign basis documents, system health reports, inservice testing requirements, heatexchanger performance testing calculations, and discussions with the HX and SW system engineers. These documents were reviewed to verify the design basis wasbeing maintained and to verify adequate SW system performance under current preventive maintenance, chemical treatments, cleaning, inspections, and test frequencies. The inspectors physically walked down accessible portions of the SW system including the CC system, control room chillers, and the SW reservoir and LakeAnna dam. The inspectors reviewed the dam inspection reports and associated followup transmittals on the reservoir and the Lake Anna dam. The inspectors also verified SW system corrosion and degradation were beingmonitored and addressed via review of corrosion control program procedures, SW pipe replacement and material condition action plans, and discussions of coatings and cathodic protection systems with applicable engineers. The inspectors reviewed thelicensee's SW Project activities that are in progress for piping coating, man-way installation and cathodic protection over the next several years. | |||

====b. Findings==== | |||
=====Introduction:===== | |||
A Green self-revealing, Non-cited Violation (NCV) of 10 CFR 50 AppendixB Criterion XVI was identified as a result of the licensee's failure to adequately implement corrective action which resulted in an inoperable control room chiller.Description: On May 16, 2006, the licensee attempted to place 1-HV-E-4B, controlroom chiller, in service; however, the chiller failed to start and was declared inoperableper TS 3.7.11, Condition A, which requires restoration within 30 days. Troubleshooting by the licensee determined that a chilled water flow switch, 1-HV-FS-1213B was thecause of the failure to start and was subsequently replaced using a commercial grade dedication process. The inspectors performed a review of the work history associated with the aforementioned flow switch in addition to the similar flow switches on the other control room chillers, 1-HV-E-4A and 1-HV-E-4C, and identified the followinginformation:*May 1, 2001: The licensee performed preventive maintenance (PM) on flowswitch, 1-HV-FS-1213A (control room chiller, 1HV-E-4A) and identifiedintermittent operation. Plant Issue N-2001-1327 was initiated due to the intermittent operation and the equipment age of about 25 years. This plant issuewas closed to Work Order (WO) 00440514-01 which replaced the flow switch.*June 24, 2003: The licensee performed a PM on flow switch, 1-HV-FS-1213A(control room chiller, 1HV-E-4A) and identified intermittent operation. PlantIssue N-2003-2482 was initiated due to the intermittent operation and the equipment age of about 25 years. This plant issue was also closed to a WO using the following statement, "WO 00493252 01 status 30 to replace flow switch due to age. PI is listed on WO. Current flow switch in t he system is operable." However, the WO remained incomplete, and the switch was only adjusted.*August 16, 2004: WO 00493252-01 was completed with the last work performedidentified as "as left data sat. no adjustments. functioned sat." Flow switch, 1-HV-FS-1213B, was not replaced as noted as corrective action in Plant Issue N-2003-2482.*January 25, 2005: WO 00526971-01, which was initiated to perform acalibration on flow switch, 1-HV-FS-1213B, as a routine PM was cancelled and noted that "flow switch was calibrated under WO 493242-01 on 08/16/04."*May 16, 2006: After starting successfully for each quarter since closure of WO00493242-01 in August, 2004, chiller 1-HV-E-4B failed to start. The previousfailure was 'intermittent operation', and the previous switch adjustment apparently allowed some successful starts. Notwithstanding, the documented corrective action to replace the switch due to age was not performed; thus, the 11Enclosureswitch was unable to meet the expected performance requirements between thespecified PM frequency.The inspectors determined that the failure to replace flow switch, 1-HV-FS-1213B, asspecified by WO 00493252-01 was contrary to the requirements of 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion XVI which requires in part that measures shall be established to assure that conditions adverse to quality are promptly identified and corrected.Analysis: The failure to implement adequate corrective action had a credible impact onreactor safety because of the failure of the control room chiller to start on demand. Theinspectors reviewed IMC 0612 and determined that the issue was more than minor due to the impact on the mitigating systems cornerstone objective to ensure the availability,reliability, and capability of systems that respond to initiating events to preventundesirable consequences and its attribute of procedure quality. The inspectors evaluated this finding using IMC 0609, Appendix A and determined that it was of very low safety significance (Green). Although it impacted the mitigating systemcornerstone, the finding is of very low safety significance because it did not result in a loss of safety function of one or more trains and was not potentially risk-significant due to possible external events. The cause of this finding involved the problem identification and resolution cross-cutting area based on the failure of the work order to complete the actions of a corrective action document.Enforcement: 10 CFR 50 Appendix B, Criterion XVI requires in part that measures shallbe established to assure that conditions adverse to quality are promptly identified and corrected. Contrary to the above, on August 16, 2004, WO 00493252-01 was completed without performing the corrective actions documented in Plant Issue N-2003-2482. This finding is of very low safety significance and is in the licensee's corrective action program as Plant Issue N-2006-2683; therefore, this violation is characterized as a NCV, consistent with Section VI.A of the NRC Enforcement Policy: | |||

==1R13 Maintenance Risk Assessments and Emergent Work Evaluation== | |||
====a. Inspection Scope==== | |||
The inspectors evaluated, as appropriate, for the six activities listed below: | |||
: (1) theeffectiveness of the risk assessments performed before maintenance activities were conducted; | |||
: (2) the management of risk; | |||
: (3) that, upon identification of an unforseensituation, necessary steps were taken to plan and control the resulting emergent work activities; and | |||

====b. Findings==== | |||
=====Introduction:===== | |||
A Green, NCV of TS 5.4.1a was identified by the NRC as a result of thelicensee's failure to implement a maintenance procedure which resulted in a degraded condition of a pressurizer PORV.Description: On March 31, 2006, Unit 1 was in Mode 5 with both pressurizer PORVsopen to comply with TS requirements for a vent path. At 0158 hours the licensee determined that pressurizer PORV 1-RC-PCV-1455C was closed with its respective switch in 'open' during evaluation of a ground alarm on the 1-I vital inverter. The PORV was reopened by using the nitrogen backup system at 0238 hours. During repairs thelicensee discovered that the solenoid operated valves (SOV) 1-RC-SOV-1455C-1 & 2, used to stroke the valve on instrument air, were AC voltage as opposed to the required DC voltage. Separate SOVs are used to operate the PORV with the nitrogen backupsystem. The inspectors reviewed the licensee's past operability evaluation and notedthat the impact on TS operability was not clearly identified. The inspectors alsoreviewed the licensee's root cause evaluation (RCE) and noted that it focused onwarehouse parts issues concerning a transfer of SOVs between stock numbers without consideration of part descriptions. The inspectors also noted that subsequent evaluations of the RCE by station nuclear safety personnel and the corrective action review board had rejected the RCE due to no external operational experience review, no corrective actions relative to combining stock numbers, no organizational failure discussion, no repeat problem discussion, and why previous corrective actions did not prevent recurrence. The inspectors reviewed the work package, WO 00507310-01, that installed new SOVs as preventative maintenance in September, 2004. The inspectors identified that electrical maintenance procedure, 0-ECM-2101-01, "Trouble-Shooting,Testing, and Replacing ASCO Solenoid-Operated Valves," Revision 7, had the following caution statement, "Coil must be correct voltage type (AC or DC) and have correct voltage and current ratings." Additionally, the inspectors noted that the work package contained an electrical elementary diagram, 11715-ESK-6NR, which showed that the SOVs undergoing replacement were part of a 125 VDC circuit. The inspectors interviewed plant personnel and determined that compliance with the caution statementis performed by reviewing the nomenclature located on the SOV to ensure to correctness. The inspectors concluded that a critical cause of the event was a failure to implement the procedure correctly. This is contrary to the requirements of TS 5.4.1awhich requires in part that written procedures shall be implemented covering the activities in the applicable procedures recommended by Regulatory Guide (RG) 1.33, Revision 2, Appendix A, February 1978, of which part 9.a. requires procedures for performing maintenance. | |||
14EnclosureAnalysis: The failure to implement 0-ECM-2101-01 correctly resulted in the installationof wrong SOVs in the control system for the respective PORV and the consequentimpact on TS operability. The inspectors reviewed IMC 0612 and determined that theissue was more than minor due to the impact on the mitigating systems cornerstoneobjective to ensure the availability, reliability, and capability of systems that res pond toinitiating events to prevent undesirable consequences and its attribute of procedure quality. The inspectors evaluated this finding using IMC 0609, Appendix A and determined that it was of very low safety significance (Green). Although it impacted the mitigating system cornerstone, the finding is of very low safety significance because itdid not result in a loss of safety function of one or more trains and was not potentially risk-significant due to possible external events. The cause of this finding involved the human performance cross-cutting area based on the failure to implement a procedure correctly.Enforcement: TS 5.4.1a requires in part that written procedures shall be implementedcovering the activities in the applicable procedures recommended by Regulatory Guide 1.33, Revision 2, Appendix A, February 1978, of which part 9.a. requires procedures forperforming maintenance. Contrary to the above, on September 26, 2004,0-ECM-2101-01 was incorrectly implemented which subsequently impacted TS operability of pressurizer PORV, 1-RC-PCV-1455C. This finding is of very low safetysignificance and is in the licensee's corrective action program as Plant Issue N-2006-1905; therefore, this violation is characterized as a NCV, consistent with Section VI.A of the NRC Enforcement Policy: NCV 05000338/2006003-02, Failure to Implementa Maintenance Procedure Impacting Pressurizer PORV Operability. | |||

===.1 Daily ReviewAs required by Inspection Procedure 71152, "Identification and Resolution of Problems,"and in order to help identify repetitive equipment failures or specific human performance=== | |||
issues for follow-up, the inspectors performed a daily screening of items entered into the licensee's corrective action program. This review was accomplished by reviewing daily Plant Issues summary reports and periodically attending daily Plant Issue Review Team meetings. | |||
===.2 Annual Sample Review=== | |||
====a. Inspection Scope==== | |||
The inspectors reviewed the licensee's assessments and corrective actions for PlantIssue N-2005-4494, "At approx. 10 hours into 2-PT-83.12J the 2J emergency diesel generator lube oil filter vent line pulled from its union connector which cause the engine to be shut down as several gallons of oil sprayed from the line," and Plant Issue N-2006-1578, "RS Sump Inspection - inspected the top cover plates of the "B" RS Sump | |||
... to confirm the size of the two small openings (one of 2" X 1 " and another of 2" X 1 1/8") next to the containment line (back of sump cover) found during 1-PT-57.3." The plant issues were reviewed to ensure that the full extent of the issue was identified, appropriate evaluations were performed, and appropriate corrective actions were specified and prioritized. The inspectors also evaluated the plant issues against the requirements of the licensee's corrective action program as specified in VPAP-1601, "Corrective Action Program," VPAP-1501, "Deviations," and 10 CFR 50, Appendix B. | |||
====b. Findings and Observations==== | |||
EDG Lube Oil Filter Vent LineIntroduction: A Green non-cited violation (NCV) was identified for failure to correct acondition adverse to quality associated with the broken lube oil filter vent line on the 2J EDG. | |||
=====Description:===== | |||
On October 16, 2005, the licensee initiated Plant Issue N-2005-4494 inresponse to the failure of the lube oil filter vent line on the Unit 2J EDG identified during 2-PT-83.12J, "2J Diesel Generator Test (Start by ESF Actuation) Followed by 24-Hour Run and Hot Restart Test." The 2J EDG was previously removed from service to complete maintenance for leaking water bypass gaskets and to replace control relays, but the licensee failed to complete WO 720789-01 to repair a broken U-bolt support for a main lube oil line. Plant Issue N-2005-3166 documented the licensee's functional evaluation for this broken U-bolt support and determined that it did not present an operability issue at that time. However, during 2-PT-83.12J on October 16, 2005,operators identified an increase in vibrations on the diesel and alerted engineers who concluded that the overall vibrations were normal. Shortly thereafter, the lube oil filtervent line ruptured at its ferrule connection rendering the diesel inoperable. After replacement of this vent line, the diesel was restarted for a post maintenance test and to complete 2-PT-83.12J; however, the lube oil filter vent line failed again at the same location causing operators to shut down the diesel. The inspectors reviewed the licensee's functional evaluation for the cracked U-bolt support, the planned EDG outage work order package (WO 725645-01), and the following plant issue reports:*Plant Issue N-2005-1522, licensee identified a cracked support bracket on the 1JEDG;*Plant Issue N-2005-4578, NRC inspectors identified a cracked support bracketon the 1J EDG; 21Enclosure*Plant Issue N-2005-0660, licensee identified a cracked weld support on the 1H &2H EDG;*Plant Issue N-2005-3166, licensee identified a cracked U-bolt support on the 2JEDG; and,*Plant Issue N-2004-1925, corrective actions established a process to reviewoutstanding work orders before and following each EDG maintenance period to ensure proper maintenance was completed and that no outstanding work existed that would challenge the EDG operability until the next maintenance period.The inspectors noted that the licensee had previously taken some corrective actions torepair the support bracket weld cracks due to high cycle fatigue, but failed to adequately address the lube oil filter vent line. Additionally, the inspectors noted that thecracked U-bolt support was inadequately evaluated as not an immediate impact and was scheduled for repair 10 months later. The inspectors concluded that the failure of the licensee to assess the high cycle fatigue conditions involving the lube oil filter ventline lead to its subsequent failure. The inspectors also independently reviewed and verified that the licensee's evaluation had determined similar findings. The inspectors concluded that the failure to properly identify and correct the high cycle fatigue problemis contrary to 10 CFR 50 Appendix B, Criterion XVI, which requires in part that measures shall be established to assure that conditions adverse to quality, such as deficiencies and defective material and equipment are promptly identified and corrected.Analysis: The inspectors determined the finding is more than minor because it affectedthe mitigating systems cornerstone objective to ensure the availability, reliability, andcapability of systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirableconsequences and its attribute of equipment performance. This had a credible impact on safety because it affected the availability of the emergency diesel generator. Theinspectors further referenced IMC 0609 for the SDP review and determined the finding was of very low safety significance. Although it affected the mitigating systemcornerstone, the finding is of very low safety significance because it did not result in a loss of safety function of one or more trains and was not potentially risk-significant due to possible external events. This finding impacts the cross-cutting area of problem identification and resolution, in that, the licensee failed to properly identify and evaluatethe extent of condition involving high cycle fatigue of components associated with theEDGs.Enforcement: 10 CFR, Appendix B, Criterion XVI states in part, "Measures shall beestablished to assure that conditions adverse to quality, such as deficiencies, defective material and equipment are promptly identified and corrected." Contrary to this on October 16, 2005, the licensee failed to properly identify and correct a high cycle fatigueproblem impacting the lube oil filter vent line which subsequently rendered the 2J EDG inoperable. This finding is of very low safety significance and is entered into the licensee's corrective action program as Plant Issue N-2005-4494; therefore, this violation is characterized as a NCV, consistent with Section VI.A of the NRC Enforcement Policy: NCV 05000339/2006003-03, Failure to Correct a Condition Adverse to Quality Regarding High Cycle Fatigue Failure of the 2J EDG Lube Oil Filter Vent Line. | |||
22EnclosureContainment Recirculation Spray Sump PumpA licensee identified violation associated with this review is documented in section 4OA7of this report. On March 23, 2006, during the cycle 18 refueling outage the licenseeidentified two openings (2" x 1" and 2" x 1 1/8") in the RS sump enclosure during performance of 1-PT-57.3, "Containment Recirculation Spray Sump Visual Examination," and initiated Plant Issue N-2006-1578 for an evaluation. The inspectorsreviewed the licensee's evaluation and subsequent corrective actions and noted that additional plant issues were initiated as a result of more openings found during an extent of condition review:*N-2006-1595, "A 1-1/4" diameter hole in each RS pump baseplate was open tothe inside of the IRS A and B circular screens (elevation 222' - 11-3/4");"*N-2006-1637, "An opening (1/2" x 1-1/2") in IRS A pump circular screen lowerflange that provided a direct path to the pump well (elevation 214' - 7-3/8");"*N-2006-1819, "Gaps larger than 1/4" in top cover of RS sump (elevation 221' -9-3/8");" and,*N-2006-1938, "Two gaps larger than 1/4" in top cover plate of the sump(elevation 221' - 9-3/8")".The inspectors also reviewed plant issues related to the RS system from the 2004 cycle17 refueling outage and noted the following plant issues:*N-2004-3605, "Openings larger than | |||
===.12 inch were found: a)in the top plate ofthe RS sump; b) between several vertical screen panels; and c) on the top of=== | |||
several panels connection to the sump structure. These openings allow for a bypass around the vertical fine mesh screens for both the 'A' and 'B' sides of the sump;"*N-2004-3744, "Subsequent to the evaluation for IPR 04-314 and N-2004-3605,additional gaps were identified under the two screen panels (horizontal bottom)on each end of the sump (screen panels 1B, 2B, and 1A, 2A). Te gaps varied from 1/4" to 1/2" in height and were 35" long;"*N-2004-4186, "Additional gaps were found in the front of the "A" side of thesump in the tube steel above the vertical screen panels and the corners of the "A" side of the sump. During investigation into N-2004-4186, another potential gap was located on the "B" side corner of the sump in the tube steel above the vertical screen panels;" and,*N-2004-4011, "Debris was found in the shell (RS) side of the RS heatexchangers. ET-NAF-04-0099 concluded that the RS system had been operablebut degraded prior to Fall 2004."The inspectors concluded that the licensee's failure to implement adequate correctiveactions for the plant issues in 2004 to preclude the RS sump deficiencies identified during the 2006 refueling outage is a violation of 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion XVI, which requires in part that in the case of significant conditions adverse to quality, measures shall assure that the cause of the condition is determined and corrective 23Enclosureaction taken to preclude repetition. The enforcement aspects are discussed inSection 4OA7. | |||
===.3 Semi-Annual Review to Identify Trends=== | |||
====a. Inspection Scope==== | |||
As required by Inspection Procedure 71152, "Identification and Resolution of Problems,"the inspectors performed a review of the licensee's corrective action program through the plant issue reports to identify trends that could indicate the existence of a moresignificant safety issue. The inspectors' review considered the results of daily inspector plant issue item screening discussed in section 4OA2.1 above, licensee trending efforts, and licensee human performance results. The inspector's review nominally considered the six-month period of January through June 2006, although some examples expanded beyond those dates when the scope of the trend warranted. The review also covered areas not documented in plant issues reports such as: departmental problem/challenges lists, system health reports, quality assurance audit/surveillance reports, selfassessment reports, and maintenance rule assessments. The inspectors compared and contrasted their results with the results contained in the licensee's latest quarterly trend reports. Corrective actions associated with a sample of the issues identified in the licensee's trend report were reviewed for adequacy. | |||
b.Assessment and ObservationsNo findings of significance were identified. The inspectors evaluated the licenseetrending methodology and observed that the licensee had performed reviews as directed by VPAP-1601, "Corrective Action," and the "Dominion Trend Analysis Manual" The inspectors compared the licensee process results with the results of the inspectors' daily screening and did not identify a discrepancy or potential trend in the plant issue reportdata that the licensee had failed to identify by a unique plant issue document.The inspectors performed a review of plant issues associated with control roomdifferential pressure problems and specifically those that involved entry into TS 3.7.10,"Main Control Room/Emergency Switchgear Room (MCR/ESGR) Emergency Ventilation System (EVS), and/or TS 3.7.13, "Main Control Room/Emergency Switchgear Room (MCR/ESGR) Bottled Air System." The inspectors found that from the period of January 1, 2006 through June 6, 2006, the licensee initiated Plant Issues N-2006-2937,N-2006-3029, and N-2006-3068. The inspectors also noted that from June 14, 2005 until end of the year, the licensee initiated ten plant issues for MCR/ESGR differentialpressure problems requiring entry into the applicable TS. On June 22, 2006, the licensee again entered TS 3.7.10/3.7.13 due to low differential pressure and initiatedPlant Issue N-2006-3388. Based on testing performed and documented under ET-SE-97-0162, Revision 7, "Control Room Positive Pressure Indications," new procedural limits for MCR/ESGR were introduced that allowed exit of the TS LCOs. | |||
However, following the introduction of the new limits the licensee encountered more ventilation problems resulting in an additional three Plant Issues, N-2006-3587, N-2006-3630, and N-2006-3639 between July 3, 2006 and July 6, 2006. The inspectors 24Enclosurereviewed the licensee's trend results and noted that the control room differentialpressure problems were captured in a category for unplanned TS LCO entries and highlighted by comments noting that the problems constituted more than half of theissues within this category. The licensee is continuing to trend this issue.4OA3Event Followup(Closed) Licensee Event Report (LER) 05000338/2006001-00: Manual Reactor TripDue to Shutdown Bank "A" Group 2 Step Counter InoperableOn April 7, 2006, Unit 1 was in Mode 3, zero percent power, preparing for restartfollowing a refueling outage. As part of the performance for rod drop time measurement, Shutdown Bank "A" Groups 1 and 2 control rods were being withdrawn from the core. Group 2 step counter stopped at 215 steps, while Group 1 and individual rod position indicators showed continued motion to 225 steps. The Shutdown Bank Group 2 step counters were declared inoperable and a manual reactor trip was initiated by opening the reactor trip breakers in accordance with Technical Requirement 3.1.3 due to a mismatch of the Shutdown Bank "A" Group step counters. This was a valid actuation of the Reactor Protection System. The failed digital step counter for Shutdown Bank "A" Group 2 was evaluated, and the internal connections were noted to be inadequate due to a problem with the manufacturing process. The failed digital step counter was replaced on April 8, 2006, and rod drop time measurement testing was subsequently completed satisfactorily. The applicable maintenance procedure was revised to include steps directing pre-installation testing and inspection. This LER is closed.4OA5Other Activities | |||
===.1 (Closed) NRC Temporary Instruction (TI) 2515/165 "Operational Readiness of OffsitePower and Impact on Plant Risk" The inspectors reviewed licensee procedures and controls, and interviewed operationsand maintenance personnel to verify these documents contained specific attributes=== | |||
delineated in the TI to ensure the operational readiness of offsite power systems inaccordance with plant TS; the design requirements provided in 10 CFR 50, Appendix A, General Design Criterion 17, "Electric Power Systems;" and the impact of maintenance on plant risk in accordance with 10 CFR 50.65(a)(4), "Requirements for Monitoring the Effectiveness of Maintenance at Nuclear Power Plants." Documents reviewed are listed in the Attachment. Appropriate documentation of the results of this inspection was provided to NRC headquarters staff for further analysis, as required by the TI. Thiscompletes the Region II inspection TI requirements for North Anna Power Station. | |||
===.2 Review of the Operation of an Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation=== | |||
{{IP sample|IP=IP 60855}} | |||
====a. Inspection Scope==== | |||
25EnclosureThe inspectors observed: loading spent fuel assemblies into the spent fuel dry storagecask TN-32-41; verification of assemblies being loaded into the cask; setting the lid on the top of canister; verification of positive engagement of lifting devices being positioned; lifting of the loaded cask above the water surface; draining a small portion of water from the cask for the lid bolting; removing water from bolt holes; hand tightening lid bolts; draining the water from the cask; moving the loaded cask to the cask setting area by following the heavy load lifting path; drying the cask; and backfill with helium. Observations were compared to the licensee's procedures to ensure compliance. The inspectors also observed radiation protection controls and monitoring.The inspectors reviewed required records and data contained in the working copy of theprocedure. The inspectors reviewed TN-32-41 Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation (ISFSI) Fuel Assembly and Insert Component Certification and CaskLoading Map to verify that the loaded assemblies met the Technical Specification TN-32Cask Operating Limits. This documents contained the description and limits of thespent fuel assemblies to be placed in the canister, such as initial fuel enrichment, fuel burnup, decay heat, time discharged, fuel assembly design, time since discharged for burnable poison rods, and uranium content. The inspectors reviewed training certificates and qualification records for crane operators and cask loading operators. | |||
The inspectors reviewed spent fuel cask crane periodic inspection, function test, and maintenance records. Documents reviewed are listed in the Attachment. | |||
====b. Findings==== | |||
No findings of significance were identified.4OA6Meetings, including Exit | |||
===.1 Exit Meeting=== | |||
On July 14, 2006, the resident inspectors presented the inspection results to Mr. Jack Davis and other members of the staff. The licensee acknowledged the findings. The inspectors confirmed that proprietary information was not provided or examined during the inspection. | |||
===.2 Annual Assessment MeetingOn April 18, 2006, the NRC Chief of Reactor Projects Branch 5 met with Virginia Electricand Power Company to discuss the NRC's Reactor Oversight Process (ROP)=== | |||
and theNorth Anna Power Station annual assessment of safety performance for the period of January 1, 2005 - December 31, 2005. Attendees included licensee corporate and site management, licensee site staff and members of the local news media. This meeting was open to the public. The presentation material used for the discussionis available from the NRC's document system (ADAMS) as accession number ML051030203. ADAMS is accessible from the NRC Web site ashttp://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html (the Public Reading Room). | |||
26Enclosure4OA7Licensee-Identified ViolationsThe following findings of very low significance (Green) were identified by the licenseeand are violations of NRC requirements which meet the criteria of Section VI of the NRCEnforcement Policy, NUREG-1600, for being characterized as NCVs.*TS 5.4.1 requires that written procedures shall be established, implemented, andmaintained covering the activities in the applicable procedures recommended by Regulatory Guide 1.33, Revision 2, Appendix A, February 1978, of which part9.a. requires procedures for performing maintenance. Contrary to the above, onMarch 13, 2006, the licensee failed to establish adequate procedure steps in maintenance procedure 0-ECM-0706-01, "Woodward Governor Adjustment." | |||
This resulted in inadequate tuning of the 1J EDG Woodward governor which subsequently resulted in 1J EDG frequency outside of the allowable TS band and a declaration of inoperability. The inspectors reviewed IMCs 0612 and 0609and determined that the finding was of very low safety significance given that only one train was affected for less than the TS allowed outage time The licensee has this finding documented in their corrective action program as Plant Issue N-2006-1056.*TS 5.4.1 requires that written procedures shall be established, implemented, andmaintained covering the activities in the applicable procedures recommended by Regulatory Guide 1.33, Revision 2, Appendix A, February 1978, of which part9.b. requires the development of procedures to perform preventative maintenance. Contrary to the above, on March 14, 2006, the licensee failed toestablish a preventative maintenance procedure that would inspect, clean andtest the K relays on the 1H EDG. This resulted in high resistance readings on the relays due to dirt buildup and oxidation residue which rendered the diesel inoperable due to the output breaker closing greater than time allowed by TS. | |||
The inspectors reviewed IMCs 0612 and 0609 and determined that the finding was of very low safety significance given that only one train was affected for less than the TS allowed outage time. The licensee has this finding documented in their corrective action program as Plant Issue N-2006-1112.*10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion XVI requires in part that in significant cases ofconditions adverse to quality, measures shall assure that the cause of the condition is determined and corrective action taken to preclude repetition. | |||
Contrary to this on March 23, 2006, the licensee identified that corrective actionstaken for Plant Issue N-2004-3605 did not identify all breeches in the Unit 1 containment sump enclosure. The finding had a credible impact on safety based on the dimensions of the breeches which were greater than the analyzed values. | |||
The inspectors reviewed IMCs 0612 and 0609 and determined that the finding was of very low safety significance. Although it impacted the mitigating systemcornerstone, the finding is of very low safety significance because it did not result in a loss of safety function of one or more trains and was not potentially risk-significant due to possible external events. The licensee has this finding documented in their corrective action program as Plant Issue N-2006-1578. | |||

SUBJECT: NORTH ANNA POWER STATION - NRC INTEGRATED INSPECTIONREPORT NOS. 05000338/2006003, 05000339/2006003, AND 07200016/2006001 AND ANNUAL ASSESSMENT MEETING
SUMMARY
Dear Mr. Christian:
On June 30, 2006, the United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed aninspection at your North Anna Power Station, Units 1 and 2. The enclosed integratedinspection report documents the inspection findings, which were discussed on July 14, 2006, with Mr. Jack Davis and other members of your staff. The inspections examined activities conducted under your licenses as they relate to safety andcompliance with the Commission's rules and regulations and with the conditions of your licenses. The inspectors reviewed selected procedures and records, observed activities, and interviewed personnel.Based upon the results of this inspection, one NRC-identified finding and two self-revealingfindings of very low safety significance (Green) were identified. These three findings were determined to involve violations of NRC requirements. However, because of their very lowsafety significance and because they were entered into your corrective action program, the NRC is treating these three findings as non-cited violations (NCVs) consistent with Section VI.Aof the NRC Enforcement Policy. In addition, three licensee-identified violations, which weredetermined to be of very low safety significance (Green), are listed in Section 4OA7 of this report. If you contest any non-cited violation 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 United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission, ATTN: Document Control Desk, Washington, D.C.
20555-0001; with copies to the Regional Administrator, Region II; the Director, Office of Enforcement, United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, D.C. 20555-0001; and the NRC Resident Inspector at the North Anna Power Station.
VEPCO 2In 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 theNRC Public Document Room or from the Publicly Available Records (PARS) component of NRC's document system (ADAMS).

Routine Integrated Resident and Regional Report. Inservice Inspection. 10 CFR 50.59 Modification Inspection. Biennial Heat Sink Performance Inspection.The report covered a three-month period of inspection by the resident inspectors, senior reactorinspectors, and reactor inspectors from the region. One NRC-identified and two self-revealingGreen findings were identified. These were determined to be Non-cited Violations (NCVs). 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: Mitigating Systems
- Green.
A self-revealing non-cited violation of 10 CFR 50 Appendix B CriterionXVI was identified for inadequate corrective action which resulted in an inoperable control room chiller. On May 16, 2006, the chiller failed to start due toa faulty chilled water flow switch. Previously, a work order was initiated as part of a corrective action document to replace the flow switch due to aging.
However, the work order was completed without performing the switch replacement. The licensee documented this failure in their corrective action program.The finding is more than minor due to the impact on the Mitigating Systemscornerstone objective to ensure the availability, reliability, and capability ofsystems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable c onsequencesand its attribute of procedure quality. The finding is of very low safety significance because it did not result in a loss of safety function of one or more trains and was not potentially risk-significant due to possible external events.
The cause of this finding involved the problem identification and resolution cross-cutting area based on the failure of the work order to complete the actions of a corrective action document. (Section 1R12)*Green. The inspectors identified a non-cited violation of Technical Specification(TS) 5.4.1a associated with the licensee's failure to correctly implement a maintenance procedure which resulted in a failure of a Unit 1 pressurizer power operated relief valve (PORV) on March 31, 2006. The inspectors' review of the root cause evaluation in conjunction with the associated work order and interview with plant personnel resulted in the conclusion that a critical cause of the degraded PORV was a failure to correctly implement the maintenance procedure by installing AC voltage versus the required DC voltage solenoid operated valves 4Enclosurein the PORV control system. The licensee entered this problem into theircorrective action program.This finding is more than minor due to the impact on the Mitigating Systemscornerstone objective to ensure the availability, reliability, and capability ofsystems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable c onsequencesand its attribute of procedure quality. The finding is of very low safety significance because it did not result in a loss of safety function of one or more trains and was not potentially risk-significant due to possible external events.
This finding involved the human performance cross-cutting area based on the failure to implement a procedure correctly. (Section 1R15)*Green. A self-revealing non-cited violation of 10 CFR 50 Appendix B CriterionXVI was identified for the licensee's failure to properly identify and evaluate the extent of condition involving high cycle fatigue of components associated withEmergency Diesel Generators (EDGs). The failure to correct this condition adverse to quality resulted in a broken lube oil filter vent line and subsequent inoperability of the Unit 2 J EDG on October 16, 2005. The licensee repairedthis problem through their corrective action program.This finding is more than minor due to the impact on the Mitigating Systemscornerstone objective to ensure the availability, reliability, and capability ofsystems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable c onsequencesand its attribute of procedure quality. The finding is of very low safety significance because it did not result in a loss of safety function of one or more trains and was not potentially risk-significant due to possible external events.
This finding impacts the cross-cutting area of problem identification and resolution, in that, the licensee failed to properly identify and evaluate the extentof condition involving high cycle fatigue of components associated with theEDGs. (Section 4OA2)
B.Licensee-Identified Violations
Three violations of very low safety significance were identified by the licensee, and havebeen reviewed by the inspectors. Corrective actions taken or planned by the licensee have been entered into the licensee's corrective action program. These violations and their corresponding corrective action tracking numbers are listed in Section 4OA7 of this report.

b. Findings
Introduction:
A Green self-revealing, Non-cited Violation (NCV) of 10 CFR 50 AppendixB Criterion XVI was identified as a result of the licensee's failure to adequately implement corrective action which resulted in an inoperable control room chiller.Description: On May 16, 2006, the licensee attempted to place 1-HV-E-4B, controlroom chiller, in service; however, the chiller failed to start and was declared inoperableper TS 3.7.11, Condition A, which requires restoration within 30 days. Troubleshooting by the licensee determined that a chilled water flow switch, 1-HV-FS-1213B was thecause of the failure to start and was subsequently replaced using a commercial grade dedication process. The inspectors performed a review of the work history associated with the aforementioned flow switch in addition to the similar flow switches on the other control room chillers, 1-HV-E-4A and 1-HV-E-4C, and identified the followinginformation:*May 1, 2001: The licensee performed preventive maintenance (PM) on flowswitch, 1-HV-FS-1213A (control room chiller, 1HV-E-4A) and identifiedintermittent operation. Plant Issue N-2001-1327 was initiated due to the intermittent operation and the equipment age of about 25 years. This plant issuewas closed to Work Order (WO) 00440514-01 which replaced the flow switch.*June 24, 2003: The licensee performed a PM on flow switch, 1-HV-FS-1213A(control room chiller, 1HV-E-4A) and identified intermittent operation. PlantIssue N-2003-2482 was initiated due to the intermittent operation and the equipment age of about 25 years. This plant issue was also closed to a WO using the following statement, "WO 00493252 01 status 30 to replace flow switch due to age. PI is listed on WO. Current flow switch in t he system is operable." However, the WO remained incomplete, and the switch was only adjusted.*August 16, 2004: WO 00493252-01 was completed with the last work performedidentified as "as left data sat. no adjustments. functioned sat." Flow switch, 1-HV-FS-1213B, was not replaced as noted as corrective action in Plant Issue N-2003-2482.*January 25, 2005: WO 00526971-01, which was initiated to perform acalibration on flow switch, 1-HV-FS-1213B, as a routine PM was cancelled and noted that "flow switch was calibrated under WO 493242-01 on 08/16/04."*May 16, 2006: After starting successfully for each quarter since closure of WO00493242-01 in August, 2004, chiller 1-HV-E-4B failed to start. The previousfailure was 'intermittent operation', and the previous switch adjustment apparently allowed some successful starts. Notwithstanding, the documented corrective action to replace the switch due to age was not performed; thus, the 11Enclosureswitch was unable to meet the expected performance requirements between thespecified PM frequency.The inspectors determined that the failure to replace flow switch, 1-HV-FS-1213B, asspecified by WO 00493252-01 was contrary to the requirements of 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion XVI which requires in part that measures shall be established to assure that conditions adverse to quality are promptly identified and corrected.Analysis: The failure to implement adequate corrective action had a credible impact onreactor safety because of the failure of the control room chiller to start on demand. Theinspectors reviewed IMC 0612 and determined that the issue was more than minor due to the impact on the mitigating systems cornerstone objective to ensure the availability,reliability, and capability of systems that respond to initiating events to preventundesirable consequences and its attribute of procedure quality. The inspectors evaluated this finding using IMC 0609, Appendix A and determined that it was of very low safety significance (Green). Although it impacted the mitigating systemcornerstone, the finding is of very low safety significance because it did not result in a loss of safety function of one or more trains and was not potentially risk-significant due to possible external events. The cause of this finding involved the problem identification and resolution cross-cutting area based on the failure of the work order to complete the actions of a corrective action document.Enforcement: 10 CFR 50 Appendix B, Criterion XVI requires in part that measures shallbe established to assure that conditions adverse to quality are promptly identified and corrected. Contrary to the above, on August 16, 2004, WO 00493252-01 was completed without performing the corrective actions documented in Plant Issue N-2003-2482. This finding is of very low safety significance and is in the licensee's corrective action program as Plant Issue N-2006-2683; therefore, this violation is characterized as a NCV, consistent with Section VI.A of the NRC Enforcement Policy:
NCV-05000338, 339/2006003-01, Inadequate Corrective Action Results In Failure of Control Room Chiller to Start.
1R13 Maintenance Risk Assessments and Emergent Work Evaluation

The inspectors evaluated, as appropriate, for the six activities listed below:
- (1) theeffectiveness of the risk assessments performed before maintenance activities were conducted;
- (2) the management of risk;
- (3) that, upon identification of an unforseensituation, necessary steps were taken to plan and control the resulting emergent work activities; and
- (4) that maintenance risk assessments and emergent work problems were adequately identified and resolved. The inspectors verified that the licensee was complying with the requirements of 10 CFR 50.65 (a)(4) and the data output from thelicensee's safety monitor associated with the risk profile of Units 1 and 2.

1R15 Operability Evaluations
a. Inspection Scope
The inspectors reviewed six operability evaluations affecting risk-significant mitigatingsystems, listed below, to assess, as appropriate:
- (1) the technical adequacy of theevaluations;
- (2) whether continued system operability was warranted;
- (3) whether otherexisting degraded conditions were considered as compensating measures;
- (4) whether the compensatory measures, if involved, were in place, would work as intended, and were appropriately controlled;
- (5) where continued operability was consideredunjustified, the impact on TS Limiting Conditions for Operation and the risk significance in accordance with the SDP. The inspectors' review included a verification that the operability determinations were made as specified by Procedure VPAP-1408, "SystemOperability." Documents reviewed by the inspectors are listed in the Attachment.*Plant Issue N-2006-2320, during the performance of 2-PT-75.2A, the acceptancecriteria for the discharge check valve (1-SW-10) on 1-SW-P-1B could not be met;*Plant Issue N-2006-2358, discovered a Recirculation Spray (RS) pipe supportwith a loose pipe clamp bolt and a bent rod end;*Plant Issue N-2006-2436, stainless steel tubing for the 1H EDG Lube Oil Filterand Strainer Constant Vent line was found with broken and loose support clips;*Plant Issue N-2006-2676, 1-CH-RV-106A would not control pressure.

b. Findings
Introduction:
A Green, NCV of TS 5.4.1a was identified by the NRC as a result of thelicensee's failure to implement a maintenance procedure which resulted in a degraded condition of a pressurizer PORV.Description: On March 31, 2006, Unit 1 was in Mode 5 with both pressurizer PORVsopen to comply with TS requirements for a vent path. At 0158 hours0.00183 days <br />0.0439 hours <br />2.612434e-4 weeks <br />6.0119e-5 months <br /> the licensee determined that pressurizer PORV 1-RC-PCV-1455C was closed with its respective switch in 'open' during evaluation of a ground alarm on the 1-I vital inverter. The PORV was reopened by using the nitrogen backup system at 0238 hours0.00275 days <br />0.0661 hours <br />3.935185e-4 weeks <br />9.0559e-5 months <br />. During repairs thelicensee discovered that the solenoid operated valves (SOV) 1-RC-SOV-1455C-1 & 2, used to stroke the valve on instrument air, were AC voltage as opposed to the required DC voltage. Separate SOVs are used to operate the PORV with the nitrogen backupsystem. The inspectors reviewed the licensee's past operability evaluation and notedthat the impact on TS operability was not clearly identified. The inspectors alsoreviewed the licensee's root cause evaluation (RCE) and noted that it focused onwarehouse parts issues concerning a transfer of SOVs between stock numbers without consideration of part descriptions. The inspectors also noted that subsequent evaluations of the RCE by station nuclear safety personnel and the corrective action review board had rejected the RCE due to no external operational experience review, no corrective actions relative to combining stock numbers, no organizational failure discussion, no repeat problem discussion, and why previous corrective actions did not prevent recurrence. The inspectors reviewed the work package, WO 00507310-01, that installed new SOVs as preventative maintenance in September, 2004. The inspectors identified that electrical maintenance procedure, 0-ECM-2101-01, "Trouble-Shooting,Testing, and Replacing ASCO Solenoid-Operated Valves," Revision 7, had the following caution statement, "Coil must be correct voltage type (AC or DC) and have correct voltage and current ratings." Additionally, the inspectors noted that the work package contained an electrical elementary diagram, 11715-ESK-6NR, which showed that the SOVs undergoing replacement were part of a 125 VDC circuit. The inspectors interviewed plant personnel and determined that compliance with the caution statementis performed by reviewing the nomenclature located on the SOV to ensure to correctness. The inspectors concluded that a critical cause of the event was a failure to implement the procedure correctly. This is contrary to the requirements of TS 5.4.1awhich requires in part that written procedures shall be implemented covering the activities in the applicable procedures recommended by Regulatory Guide (RG) 1.33, Revision 2, Appendix A, February 1978, of which part 9.a. requires procedures for performing maintenance.
14EnclosureAnalysis: The failure to implement 0-ECM-2101-01 correctly resulted in the installationof wrong SOVs in the control system for the respective PORV and the consequentimpact on TS operability. The inspectors reviewed IMC 0612 and determined that theissue was more than minor due to the impact on the mitigating systems cornerstoneobjective to ensure the availability, reliability, and capability of systems that res pond toinitiating events to prevent undesirable consequences and its attribute of procedure quality. The inspectors evaluated this finding using IMC 0609, Appendix A and determined that it was of very low safety significance (Green). Although it impacted the mitigating system cornerstone, the finding is of very low safety significance because itdid not result in a loss of safety function of one or more trains and was not potentially risk-significant due to possible external events. The cause of this finding involved the human performance cross-cutting area based on the failure to implement a procedure correctly.Enforcement: TS 5.4.1a requires in part that written procedures shall be implementedcovering the activities in the applicable procedures recommended by Regulatory Guide 1.33, Revision 2, Appendix A, February 1978, of which part 9.a. requires procedures forperforming maintenance. Contrary to the above, on September 26, 2004,0-ECM-2101-01 was incorrectly implemented which subsequently impacted TS operability of pressurizer PORV, 1-RC-PCV-1455C. This finding is of very low safetysignificance and is in the licensee's corrective action program as Plant Issue N-2006-1905; therefore, this violation is characterized as a NCV, consistent with Section VI.A of the NRC Enforcement Policy: NCV 05000338/2006003-02, Failure to Implementa Maintenance Procedure Impacting Pressurizer PORV Operability.

The plant issues were reviewed to ensure that the full extent of the issue was identified, appropriate evaluations were performed, and appropriate corrective actions were specified and prioritized. The inspectors also evaluated the plant issues against the requirements of the licensee's corrective action program as specified in VPAP-1601, "Corrective Action Program," VPAP-1501, "Deviations," and 10 CFR 50, Appendix B.
b. Findings and Observations
EDG Lube Oil Filter Vent LineIntroduction: A Green non-cited violation (NCV) was identified for failure to correct acondition adverse to quality associated with the broken lube oil filter vent line on the 2J EDG.
Description:
On October 16, 2005, the licensee initiated Plant Issue N-2005-4494 inresponse to the failure of the lube oil filter vent line on the Unit 2J EDG identified during 2-PT-83.12J, "2J Diesel Generator Test (Start by ESF Actuation) Followed by 24-Hour Run and Hot Restart Test." The 2J EDG was previously removed from service to complete maintenance for leaking water bypass gaskets and to replace control relays, but the licensee failed to complete WO 720789-01 to repair a broken U-bolt support for a main lube oil line. Plant Issue N-2005-3166 documented the licensee's functional evaluation for this broken U-bolt support and determined that it did not present an operability issue at that time. However, during 2-PT-83.12J on October 16, 2005,operators identified an increase in vibrations on the diesel and alerted engineers who concluded that the overall vibrations were normal. Shortly thereafter, the lube oil filtervent line ruptured at its ferrule connection rendering the diesel inoperable. After replacement of this vent line, the diesel was restarted for a post maintenance test and to complete 2-PT-83.12J; however, the lube oil filter vent line failed again at the same location causing operators to shut down the diesel. The inspectors reviewed the licensee's functional evaluation for the cracked U-bolt support, the planned EDG outage work order package (WO 725645-01), and the following plant issue reports:*Plant Issue N-2005-1522, licensee identified a cracked support bracket on the 1JEDG;*Plant Issue N-2005-4578, NRC inspectors identified a cracked support bracketon the 1J EDG; 21Enclosure*Plant Issue N-2005-0660, licensee identified a cracked weld support on the 1H &2H EDG;*Plant Issue N-2005-3166, licensee identified a cracked U-bolt support on the 2JEDG; and,*Plant Issue N-2004-1925, corrective actions established a process to reviewoutstanding work orders before and following each EDG maintenance period to ensure proper maintenance was completed and that no outstanding work existed that would challenge the EDG operability until the next maintenance period.The inspectors noted that the licensee had previously taken some corrective actions torepair the support bracket weld cracks due to high cycle fatigue, but failed to adequately address the lube oil filter vent line. Additionally, the inspectors noted that thecracked U-bolt support was inadequately evaluated as not an immediate impact and was scheduled for repair 10 months later. The inspectors concluded that the failure of the licensee to assess the high cycle fatigue conditions involving the lube oil filter ventline lead to its subsequent failure. The inspectors also independently reviewed and verified that the licensee's evaluation had determined similar findings. The inspectors concluded that the failure to properly identify and correct the high cycle fatigue problemis contrary to 10 CFR 50 Appendix B, Criterion XVI, which requires in part that measures shall be established to assure that conditions adverse to quality, such as deficiencies and defective material and equipment are promptly identified and corrected.Analysis: The inspectors determined the finding is more than minor because it affectedthe mitigating systems cornerstone objective to ensure the availability, reliability, andcapability of systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirableconsequences and its attribute of equipment performance. This had a credible impact on safety because it affected the availability of the emergency diesel generator. Theinspectors further referenced IMC 0609 for the SDP review and determined the finding was of very low safety significance. Although it affected the mitigating systemcornerstone, the finding is of very low safety significance because it did not result in a loss of safety function of one or more trains and was not potentially risk-significant due to possible external events. This finding impacts the cross-cutting area of problem identification and resolution, in that, the licensee failed to properly identify and evaluatethe extent of condition involving high cycle fatigue of components associated with theEDGs.Enforcement: 10 CFR, Appendix B, Criterion XVI states in part, "Measures shall beestablished to assure that conditions adverse to quality, such as deficiencies, defective material and equipment are promptly identified and corrected." Contrary to this on October 16, 2005, the licensee failed to properly identify and correct a high cycle fatigueproblem impacting the lube oil filter vent line which subsequently rendered the 2J EDG inoperable. This finding is of very low safety significance and is entered into the licensee's corrective action program as Plant Issue N-2005-4494; therefore, this violation is characterized as a NCV, consistent with Section VI.A of the NRC Enforcement Policy: NCV 05000339/2006003-03, Failure to Correct a Condition Adverse to Quality Regarding High Cycle Fatigue Failure of the 2J EDG Lube Oil Filter Vent Line.
22EnclosureContainment Recirculation Spray Sump PumpA licensee identified violation associated with this review is documented in section 4OA7of this report. On March 23, 2006, during the cycle 18 refueling outage the licenseeidentified two openings (2" x 1" and 2" x 1 1/8") in the RS sump enclosure during performance of 1-PT-57.3, "Containment Recirculation Spray Sump Visual Examination," and initiated Plant Issue N-2006-1578 for an evaluation. The inspectorsreviewed the licensee's evaluation and subsequent corrective actions and noted that additional plant issues were initiated as a result of more openings found during an extent of condition review:*N-2006-1595, "A 1-1/4" diameter hole in each RS pump baseplate was open tothe inside of the IRS A and B circular screens (elevation 222' - 11-3/4");"*N-2006-1637, "An opening (1/2" x 1-1/2") in IRS A pump circular screen lowerflange that provided a direct path to the pump well (elevation 214' - 7-3/8");"*N-2006-1819, "Gaps larger than 1/4" in top cover of RS sump (elevation 221' -9-3/8");" and,*N-2006-1938, "Two gaps larger than 1/4" in top cover plate of the sump(elevation 221' - 9-3/8")".The inspectors also reviewed plant issues related to the RS system from the 2004 cycle17 refueling outage and noted the following plant issues:*N-2004-3605, "Openings larger than
.12 inch were found: a)in the top plate ofthe RS sump; b) between several vertical screen panels; and c) on the top of
several panels connection to the sump structure. These openings allow for a bypass around the vertical fine mesh screens for both the 'A' and 'B' sides of the sump;"*N-2004-3744, "Subsequent to the evaluation for IPR 04-314 and N-2004-3605,additional gaps were identified under the two screen panels (horizontal bottom)on each end of the sump (screen panels 1B, 2B, and 1A, 2A). Te gaps varied from 1/4" to 1/2" in height and were 35" long;"*N-2004-4186, "Additional gaps were found in the front of the "A" side of thesump in the tube steel above the vertical screen panels and the corners of the "A" side of the sump. During investigation into N-2004-4186, another potential gap was located on the "B" side corner of the sump in the tube steel above the vertical screen panels;" and,*N-2004-4011, "Debris was found in the shell (RS) side of the RS heatexchangers. ET-NAF-04-0099 concluded that the RS system had been operablebut degraded prior to Fall 2004."The inspectors concluded that the licensee's failure to implement adequate correctiveactions for the plant issues in 2004 to preclude the RS sump deficiencies identified during the 2006 refueling outage is a violation of 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion XVI, which requires in part that in the case of significant conditions adverse to quality, measures shall assure that the cause of the condition is determined and corrective 23Enclosureaction taken to preclude repetition. The enforcement aspects are discussed inSection 4OA7.
.3 Semi-Annual Review to Identify Trends
a. Inspection Scope
As required by Inspection Procedure 71152, "Identification and Resolution of Problems,"the inspectors performed a review of the licensee's corrective action program through the plant issue reports to identify trends that could indicate the existence of a moresignificant safety issue. The inspectors' review considered the results of daily inspector plant issue item screening discussed in section 4OA2.1 above, licensee trending efforts, and licensee human performance results. The inspector's review nominally considered the six-month period of January through June 2006, although some examples expanded beyond those dates when the scope of the trend warranted. The review also covered areas not documented in plant issues reports such as: departmental problem/challenges lists, system health reports, quality assurance audit/surveillance reports, selfassessment reports, and maintenance rule assessments. The inspectors compared and contrasted their results with the results contained in the licensee's latest quarterly trend reports. Corrective actions associated with a sample of the issues identified in the licensee's trend report were reviewed for adequacy.
b.Assessment and ObservationsNo findings of significance were identified. The inspectors evaluated the licenseetrending methodology and observed that the licensee had performed reviews as directed by VPAP-1601, "Corrective Action," and the "Dominion Trend Analysis Manual" The inspectors compared the licensee process results with the results of the inspectors' daily screening and did not identify a discrepancy or potential trend in the plant issue reportdata that the licensee had failed to identify by a unique plant issue document.The inspectors performed a review of plant issues associated with control roomdifferential pressure problems and specifically those that involved entry into TS 3.7.10,"Main Control Room/Emergency Switchgear Room (MCR/ESGR) Emergency Ventilation System (EVS), and/or TS 3.7.13, "Main Control Room/Emergency Switchgear Room (MCR/ESGR) Bottled Air System." The inspectors found that from the period of January 1, 2006 through June 6, 2006, the licensee initiated Plant Issues N-2006-2937,N-2006-3029, and N-2006-3068. The inspectors also noted that from June 14, 2005 until end of the year, the licensee initiated ten plant issues for MCR/ESGR differentialpressure problems requiring entry into the applicable TS. On June 22, 2006, the licensee again entered TS 3.7.10/3.7.13 due to low differential pressure and initiatedPlant Issue N-2006-3388. Based on testing performed and documented under ET-SE-97-0162, Revision 7, "Control Room Positive Pressure Indications," new procedural limits for MCR/ESGR were introduced that allowed exit of the TS LCOs.
However, following the introduction of the new limits the licensee encountered more ventilation problems resulting in an additional three Plant Issues, N-2006-3587, N-2006-3630, and N-2006-3639 between July 3, 2006 and July 6, 2006. The inspectors 24Enclosurereviewed the licensee's trend results and noted that the control room differentialpressure problems were captured in a category for unplanned TS LCO entries and highlighted by comments noting that the problems constituted more than half of theissues within this category. The licensee is continuing to trend this issue.4OA3Event Followup(Closed) Licensee Event Report (LER) 05000338/2006001-00: Manual Reactor TripDue to Shutdown Bank "A" Group 2 Step Counter InoperableOn April 7, 2006, Unit 1 was in Mode 3, zero percent power, preparing for restartfollowing a refueling outage. As part of the performance for rod drop time measurement, Shutdown Bank "A" Groups 1 and 2 control rods were being withdrawn from the core. Group 2 step counter stopped at 215 steps, while Group 1 and individual rod position indicators showed continued motion to 225 steps. The Shutdown Bank Group 2 step counters were declared inoperable and a manual reactor trip was initiated by opening the reactor trip breakers in accordance with Technical Requirement 3.1.3 due to a mismatch of the Shutdown Bank "A" Group step counters. This was a valid actuation of the Reactor Protection System. The failed digital step counter for Shutdown Bank "A" Group 2 was evaluated, and the internal connections were noted to be inadequate due to a problem with the manufacturing process. The failed digital step counter was replaced on April 8, 2006, and rod drop time measurement testing was subsequently completed satisfactorily. The applicable maintenance procedure was revised to include steps directing pre-installation testing and inspection. This LER is closed.4OA5Other Activities
.1 (Closed) NRC Temporary Instruction (TI) 2515/165 "Operational Readiness of OffsitePower and Impact on Plant Risk" The inspectors reviewed licensee procedures and controls, and interviewed operationsand maintenance personnel to verify these documents contained specific attributes
delineated in the TI to ensure the operational readiness of offsite power systems inaccordance with plant TS; the design requirements provided in 10 CFR 50, Appendix A, General Design Criterion 17, "Electric Power Systems;" and the impact of maintenance on plant risk in accordance with 10 CFR 50.65(a)(4), "Requirements for Monitoring the Effectiveness of Maintenance at Nuclear Power Plants." Documents reviewed are listed in the Attachment. Appropriate documentation of the results of this inspection was provided to NRC headquarters staff for further analysis, as required by the TI. Thiscompletes the Region II inspection TI requirements for North Anna Power Station.
.2 Review of the Operation of an Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation
a. Inspection Scope
25EnclosureThe inspectors observed: loading spent fuel assemblies into the spent fuel dry storagecask TN-32-41; verification of assemblies being loaded into the cask; setting the lid on the top of canister; verification of positive engagement of lifting devices being positioned; lifting of the loaded cask above the water surface; draining a small portion of water from the cask for the lid bolting; removing water from bolt holes; hand tightening lid bolts; draining the water from the cask; moving the loaded cask to the cask setting area by following the heavy load lifting path; drying the cask; and backfill with helium. Observations were compared to the licensee's procedures to ensure compliance. The inspectors also observed radiation protection controls and monitoring.The inspectors reviewed required records and data contained in the working copy of theprocedure. The inspectors reviewed TN-32-41 Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation (ISFSI) Fuel Assembly and Insert Component Certification and CaskLoading Map to verify that the loaded assemblies met the Technical Specification TN-32Cask Operating Limits. This documents contained the description and limits of thespent fuel assemblies to be placed in the canister, such as initial fuel enrichment, fuel burnup, decay heat, time discharged, fuel assembly design, time since discharged for burnable poison rods, and uranium content. The inspectors reviewed training certificates and qualification records for crane operators and cask loading operators.
The inspectors reviewed spent fuel cask crane periodic inspection, function test, and maintenance records. Documents reviewed are listed in the Attachment.
b. Findings
No findings of significance were identified.4OA6Meetings, including Exit
.1 Exit Meeting
On July 14, 2006, the resident inspectors presented the inspection results to Mr. Jack Davis and other members of the staff. The licensee acknowledged the findings. The inspectors confirmed that proprietary information was not provided or examined during the inspection.
.2 Annual Assessment MeetingOn April 18, 2006, the NRC Chief of Reactor Projects Branch 5 met with Virginia Electricand Power Company to discuss the NRC's Reactor Oversight Process (ROP)
and theNorth Anna Power Station annual assessment of safety performance for the period of January 1, 2005 - December 31, 2005. Attendees included licensee corporate and site management, licensee site staff and members of the local news media. This meeting was open to the public. The presentation material used for the discussionis available from the NRC's document system (ADAMS) as accession number ML051030203. ADAMS is accessible from the NRC Web site ashttp://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html (the Public Reading Room).
26Enclosure4OA7Licensee-Identified ViolationsThe following findings of very low significance (Green) were identified by the licenseeand are violations of NRC requirements which meet the criteria of Section VI of the NRCEnforcement Policy, NUREG-1600, for being characterized as NCVs.*TS 5.4.1 requires that written procedures shall be established, implemented, andmaintained covering the activities in the applicable procedures recommended by Regulatory Guide 1.33, Revision 2, Appendix A, February 1978, of which part9.a. requires procedures for performing maintenance. Contrary to the above, onMarch 13, 2006, the licensee failed to establish adequate procedure steps in maintenance procedure 0-ECM-0706-01, "Woodward Governor Adjustment."
This resulted in inadequate tuning of the 1J EDG Woodward governor which subsequently resulted in 1J EDG frequency outside of the allowable TS band and a declaration of inoperability. The inspectors reviewed IMCs 0612 and 0609and determined that the finding was of very low safety significance given that only one train was affected for less than the TS allowed outage time The licensee has this finding documented in their corrective action program as Plant Issue N-2006-1056.*TS 5.4.1 requires that written procedures shall be established, implemented, andmaintained covering the activities in the applicable procedures recommended by Regulatory Guide 1.33, Revision 2, Appendix A, February 1978, of which part9.b. requires the development of procedures to perform preventative maintenance. Contrary to the above, on March 14, 2006, the licensee failed toestablish a preventative maintenance procedure that would inspect, clean andtest the K relays on the 1H EDG. This resulted in high resistance readings on the relays due to dirt buildup and oxidation residue which rendered the diesel inoperable due to the output breaker closing greater than time allowed by TS.
The inspectors reviewed IMCs 0612 and 0609 and determined that the finding was of very low safety significance given that only one train was affected for less than the TS allowed outage time. The licensee has this finding documented in their corrective action program as Plant Issue N-2006-1112.*10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion XVI requires in part that in significant cases ofconditions adverse to quality, measures shall assure that the cause of the condition is determined and corrective action taken to preclude repetition.
Contrary to this on March 23, 2006, the licensee identified that corrective actionstaken for Plant Issue N-2004-3605 did not identify all breeches in the Unit 1 containment sump enclosure. The finding had a credible impact on safety based on the dimensions of the breeches which were greater than the analyzed values.
The inspectors reviewed IMCs 0612 and 0609 and determined that the finding was of very low safety significance. Although it impacted the mitigating systemcornerstone, the finding is of very low safety significance because it did not result in a loss of safety function of one or more trains and was not potentially risk-significant due to possible external events. The licensee has this finding documented in their corrective action program as Plant Issue N-2006-1578.
