WATERFORD STEAM ELECTRIC STATION, UNIT 3 - NRC INTEGRATED INSPECTION REPORT 05000382/2018001 | |||
Mr. | ==Dear Mr. Dinelli:== | ||
On March 31, 2018, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed an inspection at your Waterford Steam Electric Station, Unit 3. On April 12, 2018, the NRC inspectors discussed the results of this inspection with you and other members of your staff. The results of this inspection are documented in the enclosed report. | |||
NRC inspectors documented one Severity Level IV violation with no associated finding. The NRC is treating this violation as a non-cited violation (NCV) consistent with Section 2.3.2.a of the Enforcement Policy. | |||
From April 2017 to April 2018, the NRC issued three Severity Level IV traditional enforcement violations associated with impacting the ability of the NRC to perform its regulatory oversight function. This includes the one Severity Level IV violation documented in this report. However, the NRC will not conduct Inspection Procedure 92723, Follow Up Inspection for Three or More Severity Level IV Traditional Enforcement Violations in the Same Area in a 12-Month Period, because one of the violations occurred in 2006 and is not representative of present performance. | |||
If you contest the violation or significance of this NCV, you should provide a response within 30 days of the date of this inspection report, with the basis for your denial, to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, ATTN: Document Control Desk, Washington, DC 20555-0001; with copies to the Regional Administrator, Region IV; the Director, Office of Enforcement; and the NRC resident inspector at the Waterford Steam Electric Station, Unit 3. This letter, its enclosure, and your response (if any) will be made available for public inspection and copying at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html and at the NRC Public Document Room in accordance with 10 CFR 2.390, Public Inspections, Exemptions, Requests for Withholding. | |||

=====Description:===== | |||
Waterford Technical Specification 3.7.4, states, in part, that two independent trains of ultimate heat sink cooling towers shall be Operable in Modes 1, 2, 3, and 4. Each train consists of a dry cooling tower and a wet cooling tower and its associated water basin. | |||
Action c of Technical Specification 3.7.4 states that with a tornado watch in effect, all nine dry cooling tower fans under the missile protected portion of the dry cooling tower shall be Operable. If the number of Operable fans is less than required, restore the inoperable fan(s)to Operable status within 1 hour, or be in at least Hot Standby within 6 hours and in Hot Shutdown within the following 6 hours. The licensee established Procedure OP-100-014, Technical Specification and Technical Requirements Compliance, Revision 336, to provide guidance for determining Operability of equipment and ensuring compliance with the technical specifications and technical requirements manual. Procedure OP-100-014, Attachment 6.6, Specific System Guidelines, provides guidelines on actions when declaring a system inoperable. One of the systems listed and discussed is the ultimate heat sink and its associated Technical Specification 3.7.4. | |||
The Process Applicability Determination process is a method for determining which plant licensing basis documents and processes are affected by a proposed activity and must be revised to reflect that activity. The licensee revised Procedure OP-100-014, Revision 336, using a Process Applicability Determination Evaluation [PAD-OP-100-014, Revision 337] to provide additional guidance on implementation of Technical Specification 3.7.4. | |||
Procedure OP-100-014, Revision 337, was implemented in February 2017 with an added note stating, in part, if the dry cooling tower fans are declared inoperable solely due to wet cooling tower fans being out of service (cascading technical specification), then Technical Specification 3.7.4.c does not need to be applied upon a tornado watch/warning. The licensee performed a technical analysis and concluded that the missile-protected dry cooling tower fans were to be considered Operable for the tornado event because wet cooling tower fan operation is not credited in the tornado event analysis. | |||
The licensee used Procedure EN-LI-100, Process Applicability Determination, to evaluate the change in licensing basis documents. When answering the question, does the proposed activity affect, invalidate, or render incorrect, OR have the potential to affect, invalidate, or render incorrect, information contained in any of the following Licensing Basis Documents? | |||
the licensee answered no for impact on Operating License/Technical Specifications. | |||
However, the inspectors determined that this addition to the site procedure could adversely impact the bases for the acceptability to ultimate heat sink design and operations. As a result, that question should have been answered yes and the licensee would have had to prepare a licensing basis document change request. The inspectors concluded that if Procedure OP-100-014, Revision 337, would have been implemented as written, it would have constituted a change affecting an evaluation that demonstrates the function of the ultimate heat sink. | |||
The inspectors confirmed that between February 2017 and January 2018, there were no tornado watches that coincided with ultimate heat sink system work windows. Therefore, during the time this note was in the procedure, the licensee did not invoke the provision. | |||
Corrective Action(s): The licensee removed the note from Procedure OP-100-014, and corrected the interpretation of the technical specification. Procedure OP-100-014, Revision 342, which removed the note, became effective January 2018. Therefore, if the wet cooling tower fans are inoperable, and there is a simultaneous tornado watch/warning, the licensee will implement Technical Specification 3.7.4, Action c. | |||
Corrective Action Reference(s): CR-WF3-2018-02111 | |||
=====Performance Assessment:===== | |||
Performance Deficiency: The licensees failure to submit a licensing basis document change request when performing a change impacting technical specifications in accordance with Procedure EN-LI-100, Process Applicability Determination, was a performance deficiency. | |||
Specifically, Procedure EN-LI-100 states that if proposed activities affect, invalidate, or render incorrect information contained in Licensing Basis Documents such as the Operating License/Technical Specifications, then the proper regulatory reviews are performed. The procedure instructs the licensee to prepare a licensing basis document change request in accordance with the licensing basis document change process. | |||
Screening: The inspectors determined the performance deficiency was of minor significance because the licensee did not implement this procedure change and as a result, did not incur a violation of technical specifications. However, because 10 CFR 50.59 violations could potentially impede or impact the regulatory process, the inspectors processed this performance deficiency using the traditional enforcement process and the examples in Section 6.1 of the Enforcement Policy. | |||
=====Enforcement:===== | |||
Severity: The ROPs significance determination process does not specifically consider the regulatory process impact in its assessment of licensee performance. Therefore, it is necessary to address this violation which impedes the NRCs ability to regulate using traditional enforcement to adequately deter noncompliance. This violation was more than minor because there was a reasonable likelihood the change would require NRC review and approval prior to implementation, similar to violations assessed in Section 2.1.3 of the NRC Enforcement Manual. The inspectors determined the violation to be a Severity Level IV violation similar to violation Example 6.1.d.2 in the NRC Enforcement Policy. | |||
Violation: As stated, in part, in 10 CFR 50.59, Changes, Tests, and Experiments, Section (c)(1), a licensee may make changes in the facility as described in the final safety analysis report (as updated), make changes in the procedure as described in the final safety analysis report (as updated), and conduct tests or experiments not described in the final safety analysis report (as updated) without obtaining a license amendment pursuant to Sec. 50.90 only if: | |||
: (i) a change to the Technical Specifications incorporated in the license is not required. The licensee established Procedure EN-LI-100, Process Applicability Determination, Revision 19, to comply with this requirement. Attachment 9.1 of Procedure EN-LI-100 states, in part, to prepare a licensing basis document change request if a proposed activity affects, invalidates, or renders incorrect, information contained in Technical Specifications. | |||
Contrary to the above requirements, from February 2017, until December 2017, the licensee completed an activity that affected Technical Specifications and did not prepare a licensing basis document change request. Specifically, the licensee implemented a change to Technical Specification 3.7.4, Action c, through the implementation of Procedure OP-100-014, Technical Specification and Technical Requirements Compliance, Revision 337, by adding a note that instructed Operations personnel to not enter Technical Specification 3.7.4.c in the event of a tornado watch/warning if the dry cooling tower fans were declared inoperable solely due to wet cooling tower fans being out of service. This action was inconsistent with the current licensing basis and would have constituted a violation of technical specifications. | |||
Enforcement Action: Because this violation was not repetitive or willful, and was entered into the licensees corrective action program as CR-WF3-2018-02111, this violation is being treated as a non-cited violation, consistent with Section 2.3.2 of the NRC Enforcement Policy. | |||

SUBJECT: WATERFORD STEAM ELECTRIC STATION, UNIT 3 - NRC INTEGRATED | |||
INSPECTION REPORT 05000382/2018001 | |||
Dear Mr. Dinelli: | |||
On March 31, 2018, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed an inspection | |||
at your Waterford Steam Electric Station, Unit 3. On April 12, 2018, the NRC inspectors | |||
discussed the results of this inspection with you and other members of your staff. The results of | |||
this inspection are documented in the enclosed report. | |||
NRC inspectors documented one Severity Level IV violation with no associated finding. The | |||
NRC is treating this violation as a non-cited violation (NCV) consistent with Section 2.3.2.a of | |||
the Enforcement Policy. | |||
From April 2017 to April 2018, the NRC issued three Severity Level IV traditional enforcement | |||
violations associated with impacting the ability of the NRC to perform its regulatory oversight | |||
function. This includes the one Severity Level IV violation documented in this report. However, | |||
the NRC will not conduct Inspection Procedure 92723, Follow Up Inspection for Three or More | |||
Severity Level IV Traditional Enforcement Violations in the Same Area in a 12-Month Period, | |||
because one of the violations occurred in 2006 and is not representative of present | |||
performance. | |||
If you contest the violation or significance of this NCV, you should provide a response within | |||
days of the date of this inspection report, with the basis for your denial, to the U.S. Nuclear | |||
Regulatory Commission, ATTN: Document Control Desk, Washington, DC 20555-0001; with | |||
copies to the Regional Administrator, Region IV; the Director, Office of Enforcement; and the | |||
NRC resident inspector at the Waterford Steam Electric Station, Unit 3. | |||
J. Dinelli 2 | |||
This letter, its enclosure, and your response (if any) will be made available for public inspection | |||
and copying at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html and at the NRC Public Document | |||
Room in accordance with 10 CFR 2.390, Public Inspections, Exemptions, Requests for | |||
Withholding. | |||

The inspectors identified a Severity Level IV, non-cited violation of 10 CFR 50.59, Changes, | |||
Tests, and Experiments, Section (c)(1), for the licensees failure to submit and obtain | |||
authorization prior to implementation procedures described in the Final Safety Analysis | |||
Report. | |||
Description: Waterford Technical Specification 3.7.4, states, in part, that two independent | |||
trains of ultimate heat sink cooling towers shall be Operable in Modes 1, 2, 3, and 4. Each | |||
train consists of a dry cooling tower and a wet cooling tower and its associated water basin. | |||
Action c of Technical Specification 3.7.4 states that with a tornado watch in effect, all nine dry | |||
cooling tower fans under the missile protected portion of the dry cooling tower shall be | |||
Operable. If the number of Operable fans is less than required, restore the inoperable fan(s) | |||
to Operable status within 1 hour, or be in at least Hot Standby within 6 hours and in Hot | |||
Shutdown within the following 6 hours. The licensee established Procedure OP-100-014, | |||
Technical Specification and Technical Requirements Compliance, Revision 336, to provide | |||
guidance for determining Operability of equipment and ensuring compliance with the technical | |||
specifications and technical requirements manual. Procedure OP-100-014, Attachment 6.6, | |||
Specific System Guidelines, provides guidelines on actions when declaring a system | |||
inoperable. One of the systems listed and discussed is the ultimate heat sink and its | |||
associated Technical Specification 3.7.4. | |||
The Process Applicability Determination process is a method for determining which plant | |||
licensing basis documents and processes are affected by a proposed activity and must be | |||
revised to reflect that activity. The licensee revised Procedure OP-100-014, Revision 336, | |||
using a Process Applicability Determination Evaluation [PAD-OP-100-014, Revision 337] to | |||
provide additional guidance on implementation of Technical Specification 3.7.4. | |||
Procedure OP-100-014, Revision 337, was implemented in February 2017 with an added | |||
note stating, in part, if the dry cooling tower fans are declared inoperable solely due to wet | |||
cooling tower fans being out of service (cascading technical specification), then Technical | |||
Specification 3.7.4.c does not need to be applied upon a tornado watch/warning. The | |||
licensee performed a technical analysis and concluded that the missile-protected dry cooling | |||
tower fans were to be considered Operable for the tornado event because wet cooling tower | |||
fan operation is not credited in the tornado event analysis. | |||
The licensee used Procedure EN-LI-100, Process Applicability Determination, to evaluate | |||
the change in licensing basis documents. When answering the question, does the proposed | |||
activity affect, invalidate, or render incorrect, OR have the potential to affect, invalidate, or | |||
render incorrect, information contained in any of the following Licensing Basis Documents? | |||
the licensee answered no for impact on Operating License/Technical Specifications. | |||
However, the inspectors determined that this addition to the site procedure could adversely | |||
impact the bases for the acceptability to ultimate heat sink design and operations. As a | |||
result, that question should have been answered yes and the licensee would have had to | |||
prepare a licensing basis document change request. The inspectors concluded that if | |||
Procedure OP-100-014, Revision 337, would have been implemented as written, it would | |||
have constituted a change affecting an evaluation that demonstrates the function of the | |||
ultimate heat sink. | |||
The inspectors confirmed that between February 2017 and January 2018, there were no | |||
tornado watches that coincided with ultimate heat sink system work windows. Therefore, | |||
during the time this note was in the procedure, the licensee did not invoke the provision. | |||
Corrective Action(s): The licensee removed the note from Procedure OP-100-014, and | |||
corrected the interpretation of the technical specification. Procedure OP-100-014, | |||
Revision 342, which removed the note, became effective January 2018. Therefore, if the wet | |||
cooling tower fans are inoperable, and there is a simultaneous tornado watch/warning, the | |||
licensee will implement Technical Specification 3.7.4, Action c. | |||
Corrective Action Reference(s): CR-WF3-2018-02111 | |||
Performance Assessment: | |||
Performance Deficiency: The licensees failure to submit a licensing basis document change | |||
request when performing a change impacting technical specifications in accordance with | |||
Procedure EN-LI-100, Process Applicability Determination, was a performance deficiency. | |||
Specifically, Procedure EN-LI-100 states that if proposed activities affect, invalidate, or render | |||
incorrect information contained in Licensing Basis Documents such as the Operating | |||
License/Technical Specifications, then the proper regulatory reviews are performed. The | |||
procedure instructs the licensee to prepare a licensing basis document change request in | |||
accordance with the licensing basis document change process. | |||
Screening: The inspectors determined the performance deficiency was of minor significance | |||
because the licensee did not implement this procedure change and as a result, did not incur a | |||
violation of technical specifications. However, because 10 CFR 50.59 violations could | |||
potentially impede or impact the regulatory process, the inspectors processed this | |||
performance deficiency using the traditional enforcement process and the examples in | |||
Section 6.1 of the Enforcement Policy. | |||
Enforcement: | |||
Severity: The ROPs significance determination process does not specifically consider the | |||
regulatory process impact in its assessment of licensee performance. Therefore, it is | |||
necessary to address this violation which impedes the NRCs ability to regulate using | |||
traditional enforcement to adequately deter noncompliance. This violation was more than | |||
minor because there was a reasonable likelihood the change would require NRC review and | |||
approval prior to implementation, similar to violations assessed in Section 2.1.3 of the NRC | |||
Enforcement Manual. The inspectors determined the violation to be a Severity Level IV | |||
violation similar to violation Example 6.1.d.2 in the NRC Enforcement Policy. | |||
Violation: As stated, in part, in 10 CFR 50.59, Changes, Tests, and Experiments, | |||
Section (c)(1), a licensee may make changes in the facility as described in the final safety | |||
analysis report (as updated), make changes in the procedure as described in the final safety | |||
analysis report (as updated), and conduct tests or experiments not described in the final | |||
safety analysis report (as updated) without obtaining a license amendment pursuant to | |||
Sec. 50.90 only if: (i) a change to the Technical Specifications incorporated in the license is | |||
not required. The licensee established Procedure EN-LI-100, Process Applicability | |||
Determination, Revision 19, to comply with this requirement. Attachment 9.1 of | |||
Procedure EN-LI-100 states, in part, to prepare a licensing basis document change request if | |||
a proposed activity affects, invalidates, or renders incorrect, information contained in | |||
Technical Specifications. | |||
Contrary to the above requirements, from February 2017, until December 2017, the licensee | |||
completed an activity that affected Technical Specifications and did not prepare a licensing | |||
basis document change request. Specifically, the licensee implemented a change to | |||
Technical Specification 3.7.4, Action c, through the implementation of | |||
Procedure OP-100-014, Technical Specification and Technical Requirements Compliance, | |||
Revision 337, by adding a note that instructed Operations personnel to not enter Technical | |||
Specification 3.7.4.c in the event of a tornado watch/warning if the dry cooling tower fans | |||
were declared inoperable solely due to wet cooling tower fans being out of service. This | |||
action was inconsistent with the current licensing basis and would have constituted a violation | |||
of technical specifications. | |||
Enforcement Action: Because this violation was not repetitive or willful, and was entered into | |||
the licensees corrective action program as CR-WF3-2018-02111, this violation is being | |||
treated as a non-cited violation, consistent with Section 2.3.2 of the NRC Enforcement Policy. | |||

SUBJECT:
WATERFORD STEAM ELECTRIC STATION, UNIT 3 - NRC INTEGRATED INSPECTION REPORT 05000382/2018001
Dear Mr. Dinelli:
On March 31, 2018, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed an inspection at your Waterford Steam Electric Station, Unit 3. On April 12, 2018, the NRC inspectors discussed the results of this inspection with you and other members of your staff. The results of this inspection are documented in the enclosed report.
NRC inspectors documented one Severity Level IV violation with no associated finding. The NRC is treating this violation as a non-cited violation (NCV) consistent with Section 2.3.2.a of the Enforcement Policy.
From April 2017 to April 2018, the NRC issued three Severity Level IV traditional enforcement violations associated with impacting the ability of the NRC to perform its regulatory oversight function. This includes the one Severity Level IV violation documented in this report. However, the NRC will not conduct Inspection Procedure 92723, Follow Up Inspection for Three or More Severity Level IV Traditional Enforcement Violations in the Same Area in a 12-Month Period, because one of the violations occurred in 2006 and is not representative of present performance.
If you contest the violation or significance of this NCV, you should provide a response within 30 days of the date of this inspection report, with the basis for your denial, to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, ATTN: Document Control Desk, Washington, DC 20555-0001; with copies to the Regional Administrator, Region IV; the Director, Office of Enforcement; and the NRC resident inspector at the Waterford Steam Electric Station, Unit 3. This letter, its enclosure, and your response (if any) will be made available for public inspection and copying at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html and at the NRC Public Document Room in accordance with 10 CFR 2.390, Public Inspections, Exemptions, Requests for Withholding.
Sincerely,
/RA/

PLANT STATUS
Waterford Steam Electric Station Unit 3 operated at or near 100 percent rated thermal power for the entire inspection period.
INSPECTION SCOPES
Inspections were conducted using the appropriate portions of the inspection procedures (IPs) in effect at the beginning of the inspection unless otherwise noted. Currently approved IPs with their attached revision histories are located on the public website at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/doc-collections/insp-manual/inspection-procedure/index.html. Samples were declared complete when the IP requirements most appropriate to the inspection activity were met consistent with Inspection Manual Chapter (IMC) 2515, Light-Water Reactor Inspection Program - Operations Phase. The inspectors performed plant status activities described in IMC 2515, Appendix D, Plant Status, and conducted routine reviews using IP 71152, Problem Identification and Resolution. The inspectors reviewed selected procedures and records, observed activities, and interviewed personnel to assess licensee performance and compliance with Commission rules and regulations, license conditions, site procedures, and standards.

INSPECTION RESULTS
Failure to Obtain NRC Staff Authorization Prior to Changing a Procedure that Impacts Implementation of Technical Specifications Cornerstone Significance Cross-cutting Report Aspect Section Not Applicable Severity Level IV Not Applicable 71152 NCV 05000382/2018001-01 Closed The inspectors identified a Severity Level IV, non-cited violation of 10 CFR 50.59, Changes, Tests, and Experiments, Section (c)(1), for the licensees failure to submit and obtain authorization prior to implementation procedures described in the Final Safety Analysis Report.
Description:
Waterford Technical Specification 3.7.4, states, in part, that two independent trains of ultimate heat sink cooling towers shall be Operable in Modes 1, 2, 3, and 4. Each train consists of a dry cooling tower and a wet cooling tower and its associated water basin.
Action c of Technical Specification 3.7.4 states that with a tornado watch in effect, all nine dry cooling tower fans under the missile protected portion of the dry cooling tower shall be Operable. If the number of Operable fans is less than required, restore the inoperable fan(s)to Operable status within 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br />, or be in at least Hot Standby within 6 hours6.944444e-5 days <br />0.00167 hours <br />9.920635e-6 weeks <br />2.283e-6 months <br /> and in Hot Shutdown within the following 6 hours6.944444e-5 days <br />0.00167 hours <br />9.920635e-6 weeks <br />2.283e-6 months <br />. The licensee established Procedure OP-100-014, Technical Specification and Technical Requirements Compliance, Revision 336, to provide guidance for determining Operability of equipment and ensuring compliance with the technical specifications and technical requirements manual. Procedure OP-100-014, Attachment 6.6, Specific System Guidelines, provides guidelines on actions when declaring a system inoperable. One of the systems listed and discussed is the ultimate heat sink and its associated Technical Specification 3.7.4.
The Process Applicability Determination process is a method for determining which plant licensing basis documents and processes are affected by a proposed activity and must be revised to reflect that activity. The licensee revised Procedure OP-100-014, Revision 336, using a Process Applicability Determination Evaluation [PAD-OP-100-014, Revision 337] to provide additional guidance on implementation of Technical Specification 3.7.4.
Procedure OP-100-014, Revision 337, was implemented in February 2017 with an added note stating, in part, if the dry cooling tower fans are declared inoperable solely due to wet cooling tower fans being out of service (cascading technical specification), then Technical Specification 3.7.4.c does not need to be applied upon a tornado watch/warning. The licensee performed a technical analysis and concluded that the missile-protected dry cooling tower fans were to be considered Operable for the tornado event because wet cooling tower fan operation is not credited in the tornado event analysis.
The licensee used Procedure EN-LI-100, Process Applicability Determination, to evaluate the change in licensing basis documents. When answering the question, does the proposed activity affect, invalidate, or render incorrect, OR have the potential to affect, invalidate, or render incorrect, information contained in any of the following Licensing Basis Documents?
the licensee answered no for impact on Operating License/Technical Specifications.
However, the inspectors determined that this addition to the site procedure could adversely impact the bases for the acceptability to ultimate heat sink design and operations. As a result, that question should have been answered yes and the licensee would have had to prepare a licensing basis document change request. The inspectors concluded that if Procedure OP-100-014, Revision 337, would have been implemented as written, it would have constituted a change affecting an evaluation that demonstrates the function of the ultimate heat sink.
The inspectors confirmed that between February 2017 and January 2018, there were no tornado watches that coincided with ultimate heat sink system work windows. Therefore, during the time this note was in the procedure, the licensee did not invoke the provision.
Corrective Action(s): The licensee removed the note from Procedure OP-100-014, and corrected the interpretation of the technical specification. Procedure OP-100-014, Revision 342, which removed the note, became effective January 2018. Therefore, if the wet cooling tower fans are inoperable, and there is a simultaneous tornado watch/warning, the licensee will implement Technical Specification 3.7.4, Action c.
Corrective Action Reference(s): CR-WF3-2018-02111
Performance Assessment:
Performance Deficiency: The licensees failure to submit a licensing basis document change request when performing a change impacting technical specifications in accordance with Procedure EN-LI-100, Process Applicability Determination, was a performance deficiency.
Specifically, Procedure EN-LI-100 states that if proposed activities affect, invalidate, or render incorrect information contained in Licensing Basis Documents such as the Operating License/Technical Specifications, then the proper regulatory reviews are performed. The procedure instructs the licensee to prepare a licensing basis document change request in accordance with the licensing basis document change process.
Screening: The inspectors determined the performance deficiency was of minor significance because the licensee did not implement this procedure change and as a result, did not incur a violation of technical specifications. However, because 10 CFR 50.59 violations could potentially impede or impact the regulatory process, the inspectors processed this performance deficiency using the traditional enforcement process and the examples in Section 6.1 of the Enforcement Policy.
Enforcement:
Severity: The ROPs significance determination process does not specifically consider the regulatory process impact in its assessment of licensee performance. Therefore, it is necessary to address this violation which impedes the NRCs ability to regulate using traditional enforcement to adequately deter noncompliance. This violation was more than minor because there was a reasonable likelihood the change would require NRC review and approval prior to implementation, similar to violations assessed in Section 2.1.3 of the NRC Enforcement Manual. The inspectors determined the violation to be a Severity Level IV violation similar to violation Example 6.1.d.2 in the NRC Enforcement Policy.
Violation: As stated, in part, in 10 CFR 50.59, Changes, Tests, and Experiments, Section (c)(1), a licensee may make changes in the facility as described in the final safety analysis report (as updated), make changes in the procedure as described in the final safety analysis report (as updated), and conduct tests or experiments not described in the final safety analysis report (as updated) without obtaining a license amendment pursuant to Sec. 50.90 only if:
- (i) a change to the Technical Specifications incorporated in the license is not required. The licensee established Procedure EN-LI-100, Process Applicability Determination, Revision 19, to comply with this requirement. Attachment 9.1 of Procedure EN-LI-100 states, in part, to prepare a licensing basis document change request if a proposed activity affects, invalidates, or renders incorrect, information contained in Technical Specifications.
Contrary to the above requirements, from February 2017, until December 2017, the licensee completed an activity that affected Technical Specifications and did not prepare a licensing basis document change request. Specifically, the licensee implemented a change to Technical Specification 3.7.4, Action c, through the implementation of Procedure OP-100-014, Technical Specification and Technical Requirements Compliance, Revision 337, by adding a note that instructed Operations personnel to not enter Technical Specification 3.7.4.c in the event of a tornado watch/warning if the dry cooling tower fans were declared inoperable solely due to wet cooling tower fans being out of service. This action was inconsistent with the current licensing basis and would have constituted a violation of technical specifications.
Enforcement Action: Because this violation was not repetitive or willful, and was entered into the licensees corrective action program as CR-WF3-2018-02111, this violation is being treated as a non-cited violation, consistent with Section 2.3.2 of the NRC Enforcement Policy.

SUBJECT: WATERFORD STEAM ELECTRIC STATION, UNIT 3 - NRC INTEGRATED
INSPECTION REPORT 05000382/2018001
Dear Mr. Dinelli:
On March 31, 2018, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed an inspection
at your Waterford Steam Electric Station, Unit 3. On April 12, 2018, the NRC inspectors
discussed the results of this inspection with you and other members of your staff. The results of
this inspection are documented in the enclosed report.
NRC inspectors documented one Severity Level IV violation with no associated finding. The
NRC is treating this violation as a non-cited violation (NCV) consistent with Section 2.3.2.a of
the Enforcement Policy.
From April 2017 to April 2018, the NRC issued three Severity Level IV traditional enforcement
violations associated with impacting the ability of the NRC to perform its regulatory oversight
function. This includes the one Severity Level IV violation documented in this report. However,
the NRC will not conduct Inspection Procedure 92723, Follow Up Inspection for Three or More
Severity Level IV Traditional Enforcement Violations in the Same Area in a 12-Month Period,
because one of the violations occurred in 2006 and is not representative of present
performance.
If you contest the violation or significance of this NCV, you should provide a response within
days of the date of this inspection report, with the basis for your denial, to the U.S. Nuclear
Regulatory Commission, ATTN: Document Control Desk, Washington, DC 20555-0001; with
copies to the Regional Administrator, Region IV; the Director, Office of Enforcement; and the
NRC resident inspector at the Waterford Steam Electric Station, Unit 3.
J. Dinelli 2

Closed
The inspectors identified a Severity Level IV, non-cited violation of 10 CFR 50.59, Changes,
Tests, and Experiments, Section (c)(1), for the licensees failure to submit and obtain
authorization prior to implementation procedures described in the Final Safety Analysis
Report.
Description: Waterford Technical Specification 3.7.4, states, in part, that two independent
trains of ultimate heat sink cooling towers shall be Operable in Modes 1, 2, 3, and 4. Each
train consists of a dry cooling tower and a wet cooling tower and its associated water basin.
Action c of Technical Specification 3.7.4 states that with a tornado watch in effect, all nine dry
cooling tower fans under the missile protected portion of the dry cooling tower shall be
Operable. If the number of Operable fans is less than required, restore the inoperable fan(s)
to Operable status within 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br />, or be in at least Hot Standby within 6 hours6.944444e-5 days <br />0.00167 hours <br />9.920635e-6 weeks <br />2.283e-6 months <br /> and in Hot
Shutdown within the following 6 hours6.944444e-5 days <br />0.00167 hours <br />9.920635e-6 weeks <br />2.283e-6 months <br />. The licensee established Procedure OP-100-014,
Technical Specification and Technical Requirements Compliance, Revision 336, to provide
guidance for determining Operability of equipment and ensuring compliance with the technical
specifications and technical requirements manual. Procedure OP-100-014, Attachment 6.6,
Specific System Guidelines, provides guidelines on actions when declaring a system
inoperable. One of the systems listed and discussed is the ultimate heat sink and its
associated Technical Specification 3.7.4.
The Process Applicability Determination process is a method for determining which plant
licensing basis documents and processes are affected by a proposed activity and must be
revised to reflect that activity. The licensee revised Procedure OP-100-014, Revision 336,
using a Process Applicability Determination Evaluation [PAD-OP-100-014, Revision 337] to
provide additional guidance on implementation of Technical Specification 3.7.4.
Procedure OP-100-014, Revision 337, was implemented in February 2017 with an added
note stating, in part, if the dry cooling tower fans are declared inoperable solely due to wet
cooling tower fans being out of service (cascading technical specification), then Technical Specification 3.7.4.c does not need to be applied upon a tornado watch/warning. The
licensee performed a technical analysis and concluded that the missile-protected dry cooling
tower fans were to be considered Operable for the tornado event because wet cooling tower
fan operation is not credited in the tornado event analysis.
The licensee used Procedure EN-LI-100, Process Applicability Determination, to evaluate
the change in licensing basis documents. When answering the question, does the proposed
activity affect, invalidate, or render incorrect, OR have the potential to affect, invalidate, or
render incorrect, information contained in any of the following Licensing Basis Documents?
the licensee answered no for impact on Operating License/Technical Specifications.
However, the inspectors determined that this addition to the site procedure could adversely
impact the bases for the acceptability to ultimate heat sink design and operations. As a
result, that question should have been answered yes and the licensee would have had to
prepare a licensing basis document change request. The inspectors concluded that if
Procedure OP-100-014, Revision 337, would have been implemented as written, it would
have constituted a change affecting an evaluation that demonstrates the function of the
The inspectors confirmed that between February 2017 and January 2018, there were no
tornado watches that coincided with ultimate heat sink system work windows. Therefore,
during the time this note was in the procedure, the licensee did not invoke the provision.
Corrective Action(s): The licensee removed the note from Procedure OP-100-014, and
corrected the interpretation of the technical specification. Procedure OP-100-014,
Revision 342, which removed the note, became effective January 2018. Therefore, if the wet
cooling tower fans are inoperable, and there is a simultaneous tornado watch/warning, the
licensee will implement Technical Specification 3.7.4, Action c.
Corrective Action Reference(s): CR-WF3-2018-02111
Performance Assessment:
Performance Deficiency: The licensees failure to submit a licensing basis document change
request when performing a change impacting technical specifications in accordance with
Procedure EN-LI-100, Process Applicability Determination, was a performance deficiency.
Specifically, Procedure EN-LI-100 states that if proposed activities affect, invalidate, or render
incorrect information contained in Licensing Basis Documents such as the Operating
License/Technical Specifications, then the proper regulatory reviews are performed. The
procedure instructs the licensee to prepare a licensing basis document change request in
accordance with the licensing basis document change process.
Screening: The inspectors determined the performance deficiency was of minor significance
because the licensee did not implement this procedure change and as a result, did not incur a
violation of technical specifications. However, because 10 CFR 50.59 violations could
potentially impede or impact the regulatory process, the inspectors processed this
performance deficiency using the traditional enforcement process and the examples in
Section 6.1 of the Enforcement Policy.
Enforcement:
Severity: The ROPs significance determination process does not specifically consider the
regulatory process impact in its assessment of licensee performance. Therefore, it is
necessary to address this violation which impedes the NRCs ability to regulate using
traditional enforcement to adequately deter noncompliance. This violation was more than
minor because there was a reasonable likelihood the change would require NRC review and
approval prior to implementation, similar to violations assessed in Section 2.1.3 of the NRC
Enforcement Manual. The inspectors determined the violation to be a Severity Level IV
violation similar to violation Example 6.1.d.2 in the NRC Enforcement Policy.
Violation: As stated, in part, in 10 CFR 50.59, Changes, Tests, and Experiments,
Section (c)(1), a licensee may make changes in the facility as described in the final safety
analysis report (as updated), make changes in the procedure as described in the final safety
analysis report (as updated), and conduct tests or experiments not described in the final
safety analysis report (as updated) without obtaining a license amendment pursuant to
Sec. 50.90 only if: (i) a change to the Technical Specifications incorporated in the license is
not required. The licensee established Procedure EN-LI-100, Process Applicability
Determination, Revision 19, to comply with this requirement. Attachment 9.1 of
Procedure EN-LI-100 states, in part, to prepare a licensing basis document change request if
a proposed activity affects, invalidates, or renders incorrect, information contained in
Technical Specifications.
Contrary to the above requirements, from February 2017, until December 2017, the licensee
completed an activity that affected Technical Specifications and did not prepare a licensing
basis document change request. Specifically, the licensee implemented a change to
Technical Specification 3.7.4, Action c, through the implementation of
Procedure OP-100-014, Technical Specification and Technical Requirements Compliance,
Revision 337, by adding a note that instructed Operations personnel to not enter Technical Specification 3.7.4.c in the event of a tornado watch/warning if the dry cooling tower fans
were declared inoperable solely due to wet cooling tower fans being out of service. This
action was inconsistent with the current licensing basis and would have constituted a violation
of technical specifications.
Enforcement Action: Because this violation was not repetitive or willful, and was entered into
the licensees corrective action program as CR-WF3-2018-02111, this violation is being
treated as a non-cited violation, consistent with Section 2.3.2 of the NRC Enforcement Policy.
