SUMMARY

IR 05000272/2013004, 05000311/2013004; 07/01/2013 - 09/30/2013; Salem Nuclear Generating Station, Units 1 and 2; Follow-Up of Events and Notices of Enforcement Discretion. This report covered a three-month period of inspection by resident inspectors and announced inspections performed by regional inspectors. Inspectors identified one finding of very low safety significance (Green). The significance of most findings is indicated by their color (i.e., greater than Green, or Green, White, Yellow, Red) and determined using Inspection Manual --dated October 28, 2011. All violations of NRC requirements are dispositioned in accordance icy, dated July 9safe operation of commercial nuclear power reactors is described in NUREG-

Cornerstone: Initiating Events

Green.

The inspectors identified a self-revealing Green finding when PSEG did not provide appropriate air-operated valve program setpoint control, and ensure adequate packing consolidation of the Unit 1 pressurizer spray valve (1PS1), in accordance with station procedure, ER-AA-410, Air Operated Valve Program Implementing Procedure, Revision 4. This resulted in a packing leak in excess of the Technical Specification (TS) allowable unidentified reactor coolant system (RCS) leak rate on August 22, 2013, and subsequently required an unplanned unit shutdown. PSEG isolated the leak and entered this issue in the corrective action program (CAP) via Notifications 20618913 and 20618915. This finding was more than minor because it was associated with the equipment performance attribute of the Initiating Events cornerstone, and adversely affected the associated cornerstone objective to limit the likelihood of events that upset plant stability and challenge critical safety functions during shutdown as well as power operations. Using IMC 0609, the inspectors determined that this finding was of very low safety significance (Green) using Exhibit 1 - Initiating Events Screening Questions. Specifically, after a reasonable assessment of degradation, the inspectors determined the finding would not exceed the RCS leak rate for a small loss-of-coolant accident (LOCA), and the finding would not have affected other systems used to mitigate a LOCA. The inspectors determined that this finding had a cross-cutting aspect in the area of Human Performance, Operating Experience (OE), because PSEG did not implement vendor recommendations through changes to station processes and procedures. P.2(b) (Section 4OA3)

Other Findings

None

REPORT DETAILS

Summary of Plant Status Unit 1 began the inspection period at 100 percent power and operated at full power until August 22, 2013, when the unit was shutdown for RCS leakage attributed to the packing area of a pressurizer spray valve. A reactor startup was commenced on August 24, 2013, and the unit returned to 100 percent power on August 25, 2013. The unit remained at or near 100 percent power for the remainder of the inspection period. Unit 2 began the inspection period at 100 percent power and remained at or near 100 percent power for the remainder of the inspection period.

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors observed licensed operator simulator training on September 4 and 24, 2013, which included a requalification examination and scenarios on a station blackout and feed pump trip, respectively. The inspectors evaluated operator performance during the simulated event and verified completion of risk significant operator actions, including the use of abnormal and emergency operating procedures. The inspectors assessed the clarity and effectiveness of communications, implementation of actions in response to alarms and degrading plant conditions, and the oversight and direction provided by the control room (CR) supervisor. The inspectors verified the accuracy and timeliness of the emergency classification made by the shift manager and the TS action statements entered by the shift technical advisor. Additionally, the inspectors assessed the ability of the crew and training staff to identify and document crew performance problems.

b. Findings

No findings were identified.

.2 Quarterly Review of Licensed Operator Performance in the Main Control Room

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors observed and reviewed the Unit 1 shutdown and startup on August 22 and 24, 2013, respectively, for the 1PS1 pressurizer spray valve leak. The inspectors observed infrequently performed test or evolution briefings, pre-shift briefings, and reactivity control briefings to verify that the briefings met HU-AA--job Briefingsoperator performance to verify that procedure use, crew communications, and coordination of activities between work groups similarly met established expectations and standards.

b. Findings

No findings were identified.

1R12 Maintenance Effectiveness

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors reviewed the samples listed below to assess the effectiveness of maintenance activities on structure, system, and component (SSC) performance and reliability. The inspectors reviewed system health reports, CAP documents, maintenance WOs, and maintenance rule (MR) basis documents to ensure that PSEG was identifying and properly evaluating performance problems within the scope of the MR. For each sample selected, the inspectors verified that the SSC was properly scoped into the MR in accordance with 10 CFR 50.65 and verified that the (a)(2)performance criteria established by PSEG staff was reasonable. As applicable, for SSCs classified as (a)(1), the inspectors assessed the adequacy of goals and corrective actions to return these SSCs to (a)(2). Additionally, the inspectors ensured that PSEG staff was identifying and addressing common cause failures that occurred within and across MR system boundaries.

Unit 1, 13 charging pump failure to start Common, station air compressor performance

b. Findings

No findings were identified.

1R13 Maintenance Risk Assessments and Emergent Work Control

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors reviewed station evaluation and management of plant risk for the maintenance and emergent work activities listed below to verify that PSEG performed the appropriate risk assessments prior to removing equipment for work. The inspectors selected these activities based on potential risk significance relative to the Reactor Safety cornerstones. As applicable for each activity, the inspectors verified that PSEG personnel performed risk assessments as required by 10 CFR 50.65(a)(4) and that the assessments were accurate and complete. When PSEG performed emergent work, the inspectors verified that operations personnel promptly assessed and managed plant risk. The inspectors reviewed the scope of maintenance work and discussed the results of consistent with the risk assessment. The inspectors also reviewed the TS requirements and inspected portions of redundant safety systems, when applicable, to verify risk analysis assumptions were valid and applicable requirements were met.

Unit 1, transition from Mode 3 to Mode 1 with 13 chiller inoperable Unit 1, overhead alarm 12VDC PS-2 failure Unit 1, 1PS1 pressurizer spray valve emergent work Unit 2, elevated risk during 23 auxiliary feedwater work window Unit 2, emergent work on 22CA330 containment isolation valve Common, elevated risk with 500 kV Bus #1 OOS Common, station air compressor unreliability and overhauls

Unit 1, 13 chiller low suction pressure Unit 1, 1R46A (C, D) main steam line radiation monitor inoperability Unit 1, auxiliary building ventilation #12 supply fan failure to start Unit 1, 1PS1 pressurizer spray valve extent of condition Unit 2, emergency diesel generator (EDG) following control area ventilation fan failure to run Unit 2, 4 kV vital buses with 24 station power transformer load tap changer in manual Unit 1, operation until 1R23 with the 1PS1 pressurizer spray valve isolated The inspectors selected these issues based on the risk significance of the associated components and systems. The inspectors evaluated the technical adequacy of the ODs to assess whether TS operability was properly justified and the subject component or system remained available such that no unrecognized increase in risk occurred. The inspectors compared the operability and design criteria in the appropriate sections of the systems were operable. The inspectors compared the local leak rate testing limits in whether the components or systems remained operable. Where compensatory measures were required to maintain operability, the inspectors determined whether the measures in place would function as intended and were properly controlled by PSEG. The inspectors determined, where appropriate, compliance with bounding limitations associated with the evaluations.

b. Findings

No findings were identified.

1R19 Post-Maintenance Testing

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors reviewed the post-maintenance tests for the maintenance activities listed below to verify that procedures and test activities ensured system operability and functional capability. The inspectors reviewed the test procedure to verify that the procedure adequately tested the safety functions that may have been affected by the maintenance activity, that the acceptance criteria in the procedure were consistent with the information in the applicable licensing basis and/or design basis documents, and that the procedure had been properly reviewed and approved. The inspectors also witnessed the test or reviewed test data to verify that the test results adequately demonstrated restoration of the affected safety functions.

1EP4 Emergency Action Level and Emergency Plan Changes

a. Inspection Scope

The Office of Nuclear Security and Incident Response headquarters staff performed an in-office review of the latest revisions of various Emergency Plan Implementing Procedures and the Emergency Plan located under ADAMS accession number ML130520717. PSEG determined that in accordance with 10 CFR 50.54(q), the changes made in the revisions resulted in no reduction in the effectiveness of the Plan, and that the revised Plan continued to meet the requirements of 10 CFR 50.47(b) and Appendix E to 10 CFR Part 50. The NRC review was not documented in a safety evaluation report and did not constitute approval of licensee-generated changes; therefore, this revision is subject to future inspection.===

b. Findings

No findings were identified.

OTHER ACTIVITIES

4OA1 Performance Indicator Verification

.1 Mitigating Systems Performance Index

a. Inspection Scope

The inspe for the Mitigating Systems Performance Index for the following systems for the period of July 1, 2012, through June 30, 2013.

Units 1 and 2, heat removal systems Units 1 and 2, RHR systems To determine the accuracy of the performance indicator (PI) data reported during those periods, inspectors used definitions and guidance contained in Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI) Document 99-inspectors reviewed condition reports, mitigating systems performance index derivation reports, event reports, and NRC integrated inspection reports to validate the accuracy of the submittals.

b. Findings

No findings were identified.

4OA2 Problem Identification and Resolution

.1 Routine Review of Problem Identification and Resolution Activities

a. Inspection Scope

As required by Inspection Procedure inspectors routinely reviewed issues during baseline inspection activities and plant status reviews to verify that PSEG entered issues into the CAP at an appropriate threshold, gave adequate attention to timely corrective actions, and identified and addressed adverse trends. In order to assist with the identification of repetitive equipment failures and specific human performance issues for follow-up, the inspectors performed a daily screening of items entered into the CAP and periodically attended condition report (CR) screening meetings.

b. Findings

No findings were identified.

.2 Annual Sample:

Corrosion of Service Water Air Operated Valves (AOVs)

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors performed an in-extent of condition (EOC) reviews and corrective actions associated with issues related to degraded service water (SW) AOVs. These AOVs experience a build-up of debris in the stainless steel valves causing pitting of the valve stem and binding of the valve affecting valve motion and travel. The issues were captured in past PSEG Notifications 20608514, 70118364, 70120002, and 70154085. The inspectors extent of condition (EOC) reviews, compensatory actions, and the prioritization and identifying, characterizing, and correcting problems associated with this issue and whether the planned and completed corrective actions were appropriate. The inspectors CAP and 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B. In addition, the inspectors interviewed engineering and operations personnel to assess the effectiveness of the implemented corrective actions.

b. Findings and Observations

No findings were identified. In response to issues concerning the build-up of debris in stainless steel SW AOVs causing pitting of the valve stem and binding of the valve affecting valve motion and travel, PSEG has performed multiple apparent cause evaluations (ACEs), EOC reviews and corrective actions since 2003. PSEG most recently performed an ACE documented in notification 70154085 for the 21 CCW room cooler inlet AOV (21SW129) not going full PSEG documented in an AOV WO (30118934) from 2008 that packing leaks on SW AOVs result in the build-up of debris due to the valve being constructed of stainless increasing packing friction and preventing full valve travel.

pump room cooler SW isolation valve (11SW153) to close during quarterly IST testing documented an ACIT to review the current PM strategy for SW AOVs to determine if additional PM activities are required. This action was scheduled to be completed June 1, 2011, but was not completed until August 2, 2012.

The assigned ACIT above identified that there were no open and inspect PMs for the SW room cooler valves and that these PMs (30 total valves) were deactivated by PSEG inadvertently by Orders 80076274 and 80059932 in 2003. Both 21SW129 and 11SW153 had their PMs deactivated in 2003. These PMs included a packing check for these valves which would have caught the stem degradation prior to failure.

strategy review identified the 30 deactivated PMs, but was not performed prior to the failure of the valve on April 17, 2013 (it had been scheduled for 2R21 in the Fall of 2015). After the inspectors discussed this with PSEG, the PMs that had been deactivated were re-reviewed to ensure the schedule had been prioritized to prevent future AOV failures from valve binding. The inspectors determined that re-prioritized PM schedule would not have prevented the 21SW129 failure.

The inspectors discussed these issues with the EQACE team and system engineers to a non-susceptible material (AL6XN), and the re-planned and prioritized PM schedule for these valves, was adequate to address the valve stem pitting issue with the affected SW AOVs. No new issues were identified by the inspectors during the review.

.3 Review of Operator Work Arounds (OWAs)

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors reviewed the cumulative effects of the existing OWAs, operator burdens, existing operator aids and disabled alarms, and open main control room (MCR) deficiencies to identify any effect on emergency operating procedure operator actions, and any impact on possible initiating events and mitigating systems. The inspectors evaluated whether station personnel had identified, assessed, and reviewed OWAs as specified in Salem procedure OP-AA-102-103, Revision 2, Program.

Throom distractions to minimize operator burdens. The inspectors reviewed the system used to track these OWAs. The inspectors also toured the control room and discussed the current operator workarounds with the operators to ensure the items were being addressed on a schedule consistent with their relative safety significance.

b. Findings

No findings were identified. The inspectors concluded that PSEG was properly identifying, prioritizing, and resolving MCR distractions. However, the inspectors observed that implementation and adherence to station procedures regarding their OWA program, while minor, was less than adequate. Some examples include: Procedure OP-AA-102-103-1001, Operator Burdens Program, Revision 1, Attachment 1, provides guidance on periodically assessing the aggregate effect of operator burdens. When the outstanding Aggregate Impact Items list exceeds the OO.2: MCR distractions metric by 10, the procedure calls for an evaluation to determine whether these quarterly assessments need to be completed more often. By procedure, the Aggregate Impact Items includes, among other items, OWAs and operator cOWAs included 36 operator challenges in August 2013, an increase from 16 in May 2013. The MCR distractions metric goal was 14. Based on Challenges alone, the procedural requirement for an evaluation had been met.

OP-AA-102-103-1001, Attachment 1, Section 3, discusses the aggregate impact CRCR operators could not locate the assessment when requested by inspectors. In June of 2012, Standing Order (SO) 12-12 was issued regarding the Operations Burden Program. This SO established an expectation that operators would use CAP codes to support the program that were in conflict with or in addition to those established by the OP-AA-102-103-1001 procedure. OP-AA-102-104, Pertinent Information Program, Revision 1, section 2.3, states that SOs existing procedures, TSs, administrative technical requirements, or ODCM. They shall not be used OP-AA-102-103-1001, does not define its use of the term Operator Burden. Despite MCR distractions as part of the burdens program, they are not listed as elements of the program in the procedure.

The inspectors also noted that similar observations had been made in 2011 (IR 05000272, 311/2011005) regaThe inspectors confirmed that PSEG had not captured these prior observations in their CAP. In response, PSEG captured these new observations as Notifications 20624037 and 20626619, and is reviewing their approach to observations made in NRC inspection reports. The inspectors concluded that these performance deficiencies were not more than minor based on a review of IMC 0612.

4OA3 Follow-Up of Events and Notices of Enforcement Discretion

.1 Plant Events

a. Inspection Scope

For the plant events listed below, the inspectors reviewed and/or observed plant parameters, reviewed personnel performance, and evaluated performance of mitigating systems. The inspectors communicated the plant events to appropriate regional personnel, and compared the event details with criteria contained in IMC 0309, inspection activities. As applicable, the inspectors verified that PSEG made appropriate emergency classification assessments and properly reported the event in accordance with 10 CFR 50.72. The inspectors reviewed PSEG-up actions related to the events to assure that PSEG implemented appropriate corrective actions commensurate with their safety significance.

Unit 1, manual reactor shutdown for pressurizer spray valve packing leakage on August 22, 2013

b. Findings

IntroductionAOV program setpoint control to ensure adequate packing consolidation, in accordance with ER-AA-410, constituted a self-revealing Green Finding. This resulted in a packing leak in excess of the Technical Specification (TS) allowable unidentified reactor coolant system (RCS) leak rate on August 22, 2013, and subsequently required an unplanned unit shutdown.

Description.

Following the unplanned shutdown on August 22, 2012, PSEG discovered the as-found packing nut torque on the Unit 1 pressurizer spray valve number 1 (1PS1) to be less than 10 ft.-lbs. The packing vendor installation instructions specify a minimum torque value of 16 ft.-lbs. Packing nut torque is one of several parameters available to measure packing consolidation. The packing vendor recommends a minimum packing gland stress of 1.5 times system pressure, or 3728 psi as determined by PSEG (1.5 times primary system design pressure of 2485 psi), to provide adequate consolidation for the 1PS1 packing configuration. PSEG established a minimum gland stress of 4000 psi, and a maximum gland stress of 5000 psi, when the packing was first installed under design change package (DCP) 80098748, in 2010. PSEG also incorporated the minimum and maximum gland stress values into the valve packing data sheet, which is used under WO instruction during the performance of valve packing. The packing vendor provides theoretical calculations to determine packing gland stress, as well as packing friction, based on packing nut torque. The inspectors noted that these calculations are also provided in readily available industry documentation. Based on the theoretical calculations, 16 ft-bs of packing nut torque would correspond to a packing gland stress of 3728 psi, and a packing friction of 653 lbs. Additionally, PSEG utilizes industry standard diagnostic testing software to measure actual friction values during valve stroking. During as-left diagnostic testing of 1PS1 on April 22, 2013, following planned maintenance to replace the packing during the 2013 refueling outage, the as-left friction value on 1PS1 was determined to be 424 lbs. This correlates to a packing gland stress of only 2400 psi, which is below the maximum primary system design pressure of 2485 psi. Additionally, the as-left packing nut torque value was not required to be recorded in the work order following the April 22, 2013, maintenance on 1PS1. Through interviews with maintenance technicians, PSEG concluded that 16 ft-lbs of torque was achieved on the 1PS1 packing nuts, as specified in the 1PS1 valve packing data sheet, following the April 22, 2013 maintenance. The inspectors performed independent interviews and -lbs was reasonable. Although PSEG maintenance technicians determined that the packing nut torque specification had been met, PSEG AOV diagnostic data from actual stroking of the 1PS1 indicated that the packing gland stress was well below the value corresponding to adequate packing consolidation. the 1PS1 Packing Leak under Notification 20618915. PSEG determined the most probable apparent cause of the packing leak was attributed to current industry and valve user group standards not using stem friction values to verify proper packing consolidation. PSEG also determined that the PSEG air-operated valve (AOV) program procedures did not specify a minimum as-left friction value as measured by diagnostic testing. The inspectors noted that PSEG generated many corrective actions as a result of this EQACE. The inspectors noted specific corrective actions to revise AOV program procedures and diagnostic testing software output data to include acceptance criteria for friction and packing consolidation, and to revise pressurizer spray valve maintenance procedures to include detailed procedural guidance for packing consolidation. Additionally, the inspectors noted that an action was created to revise the maintenance planning process for all orders involving valve repacks and packing torque checks to create a dedicated WO operation for the as-left packing torque value. Finally, the -left friction value on evaluation was appropriate to the circumstances.

The inspectors performed an independent review of PSEG AOV program procedures. ER-AA--AA-410-1001, AOV Design Basis Review and Setpoint Control, step 4.7.2, describes the program requirements for setpoint control of packing configuration. The inspectors noted that step 4.7.2 contains no application of setpoint control for packing consolidation. PSEG determined, via EQACE 20618915, that ER-AA-410-does not include any guidance or instruction for evaluating packing friction in AOV testing. The inspectors also reviewed industry documentation for valve packing, and PSEG WO instructions from the April 22, 2013, maintenance to repack 1PS1. The inspectors also interviewed maintenance technicians that worked on 1PS1 on April 22, 2013, as well as on August 22, 2013. The inspectors concluded that the 1PS1 low packing gland The inspectors also noted that PSEG used vendor information to establish a minimum and maximum gland stress when the packing was first installed in the 2010 design change package (DCP), and PSEG incorporated the minimum and maximum gland stress values into the valve packing data sheet. The inspectors also noted that readily available industry documentation, dating back to 2002, also contained information and guidance regarding the use of diagnostic friction values to evaluate packing consolidation, and specifically discussed that low friction values could result in valve packing leaks. Therefore, the inspectors concluded that PSEG had an opportunity to evaluate the low as-left friction values measured by diagnostic testing on April 22, 2013, following planned maintenance to repack the valve. The inspectors determined that this EQACE, nor in the corrective actions, and therefore would be characterized as a self-revealing finding.

Analysis.

Tde the appropriate AOV program setpoint control to ensure adequate packing consolidation on the Unit 1 pressurizer spray valve (1PS1) constituted a performance deficiency. Specifically, on April 22, 2013, PSEG as-left diagnostic testing on the 1PS1 valve determined that the AOV friction value was 424 lbs, which is below the minimum friction value of 701 lbs specified by the vendor. As a consequence of the inadequate packing consolidation, 1PS1 experienced a packing leak in excess of the TS allowable unidentified RCS leak rate on August 22, 2013, which subsequently required an unplanned shutdown of Unit 1. This finding was more than minor because it was associated with the equipment performance attribute of the Initiating Events cornerstone, and adversely affected the associated cornerstone objective to limit the likelihood of events that upset plant stability and challenge critical safety functions during shutdown as well as power operations. Using IMC 0609, A-finding was of very low safety significance (Green) using Exhibit 1 - Initiating Events Screening Questions. Specifically, after a reasonable assessment of degradation, the inspectors determined the finding would not exceed the RCS leak rate for a small LOCA, and the finding would not have affected other systems used to mitigate a LOCA.

The inspectors determined that this finding had a cross-cutting aspect in the area of Human Performance, OE, because PSEG did not implement vendor recommendations through changes to station processes and procedures P.2(b). Specifically, PSEG did not incorporate into procedures or work order instructions the minimum packing gland stress, as specified by the packing manufacturer, to properly consolidate the 1PS1 valve packing.

Enforcement.

This finding does not involve an enforcement action because no violation of a regulatory requirement was identified. PSEG entered this issue in the CAP in accordance with Notifications 20618913 and 20618915. Because this finding does not involve a violation and is of very low safety significance, it is identified as a FIN.

.2 (Closed) Licensee Event Report (LER) 05000311/2007003-01, Reactor Trip Due to

Spurious Feedwater (FW) Interlock Signal (1 sample)

a. Inspection Scope

On August 6, 2007, the Salem Unit 2 reactor tripped due to 22 steam generator (SG) water level reaching its low-low level set point. The cause of SG low-low level was faulty solid state protection system output driver card A517 that initiated a spurious FW isolation signal and resulted in the closure of the FW regulating valves. The failed circuit card was removed, inspected, and tested by PSEG personnel. Inspection of the card performed at increased magnification identified a defective solder joint. The card was replaced and the system tested satisfactorily. Subsequent to that LER review, PSEG supplemented the LER via Revision 1 to incorporate results of a root cause evaluation. PSEG determined that the direct cause was a defective solder joint and the root cause was inadequate post-soldering test practices. This issue was inspected at the time of the occurrence and was discussed in section 4OA3.1 of NRC Inspection Report 05000272, 311/2007004. The LER was reviewed and no findings or violations of NRC requirements were identified. This LER is closed. This LER revision was reviewed at this time due to a prior administrative oversight.

4OA5 Other Activities
