Introduction The NRC conducted an inspection to verify that licensee personnel adequately preserved the facility safety system design and performance capability and that licensee personnel preserved the initial design in subsequent modifications of the systems selected for review. The scope of the review also included any necessary nonsafety-related structures, systems, and components that provided functions to support safety functions. This inspection also reviewed the licensee's programs and methods for monitoring the capability of the selected systems to perform the current design basis functions. This inspection verified aspects of the initiating events, mitigating systems, and barrier cornerstones. | |||
Licensee personnel based the probabilistic risk assessment model for the South Texas Project on the capability of the as-built safety systems to perform their intended safety functions successfully. The team determined the area and scope of the inspection by reviewing the licensees probabilistic risk analysis models to identify the most risk significant systems, structures, and components. The team established this according to their ranking and potential contribution to dominant accident sequences and/or initiators. The team also used a deterministic approach in the selection process by considering recent inspection history, recent problem area history, and all modifications developed and implemented. | |||
The team assessed the adequacy of calculations, analyses, engineering processes, and engineering and operating practices that licensee personnel used for the selected safety system and the necessary support systems during normal, abnormal, and accident conditions. Acceptance criteria used by the team included NRC regulations, the technical specifications, applicable sections of the Updated Final Safety Analysis Report, applicable industry codes and standards, and industry initiatives implemented by the licensees programs. | |||

The team inspected the effectiveness of the licensee's implementation of changes | The team inspected the effectiveness of the licensee's implementation of changes to facility structures, systems, and components, risk-significant normal and emergency operating procedures; test programs; and the updated final safety analysis reports in accordance with 10 CFR 50.59, "Changes, Tests, and Experiments." The team utilized Inspection Procedure 71111.02 for this inspection. | ||
The minimum sample size for this procedure is 6 evaluations and 12 screenings. The team reviewed 9 licensee-performed 10 CFR 50.59 evaluations to verify that licensee personnel had appropriately considered the conditions under which the licensee may make changes to the facility or procedures or conduct tests or experiments without prior NRC approval. The team reviewed 13 licensee-performed 10 CFR 50.59 screenings, in which the licensee personnel determined that evaluations were not required, to ensure that the exclusion of a full evaluation was consistent with the requirements of 10 CFR 50.59. The team selected evaluations and screenings in the cornerstones of initiating events, mitigating systems, and barrier integrity, with the majority of evaluations and screenings encompassing the mitigating systems cornerstone. | |||
The team selectively reviewed the licensees design modifications and supporting documents associated with replacement of underground cables serving the 480 Vac loads in the essential cooling water (ECW) intake structure, replacement of Class 1E 480 Vac motor control center buckets, and Class 1E 120 Vac inverters. The review focused on the potential impact of the changes on the design and licensing basis, and post-modification testing of the cable and inverters. The specific documents the team inspected are identified in the list of documents reviewed. | |||
The team also reviewed and evaluated the most recent licensee 10 CFR 50.59 program self assessment to determine whether licensee personnel conducted sufficient in-depth analyses of their program to allow for the identification and subsequent resolution of problems or deficiencies. In addition, the team reviewed the licensees self assessment plan to verify the licensees program in resolving issues associated with the application of the 50.59 process. | |||

REPORT DETAILS
REACTOR SAFETY
Introduction The NRC conducted an inspection to verify that licensee personnel adequately preserved the facility safety system design and performance capability and that licensee personnel preserved the initial design in subsequent modifications of the systems selected for review. The scope of the review also included any necessary nonsafety-related structures, systems, and components that provided functions to support safety functions. This inspection also reviewed the licensee's programs and methods for monitoring the capability of the selected systems to perform the current design basis functions. This inspection verified aspects of the initiating events, mitigating systems, and barrier cornerstones.
Licensee personnel based the probabilistic risk assessment model for the South Texas Project on the capability of the as-built safety systems to perform their intended safety functions successfully. The team determined the area and scope of the inspection by reviewing the licensees probabilistic risk analysis models to identify the most risk significant systems, structures, and components. The team established this according to their ranking and potential contribution to dominant accident sequences and/or initiators. The team also used a deterministic approach in the selection process by considering recent inspection history, recent problem area history, and all modifications developed and implemented.
The team assessed the adequacy of calculations, analyses, engineering processes, and engineering and operating practices that licensee personnel used for the selected safety system and the necessary support systems during normal, abnormal, and accident conditions. Acceptance criteria used by the team included NRC regulations, the technical specifications, applicable sections of the Updated Final Safety Analysis Report, applicable industry codes and standards, and industry initiatives implemented by the licensees programs.
1R02 Evaluations of Changes, Tests, or Experiments
a. Inspection Scope
The team inspected the effectiveness of the licensee's implementation of changes to facility structures, systems, and components, risk-significant normal and emergency operating procedures; test programs; and the updated final safety analysis reports in accordance with 10 CFR 50.59, "Changes, Tests, and Experiments." The team utilized Inspection Procedure 71111.02 for this inspection.
The minimum sample size for this procedure is 6 evaluations and 12 screenings. The team reviewed 9 licensee-performed 10 CFR 50.59 evaluations to verify that licensee personnel had appropriately considered the conditions under which the licensee may make changes to the facility or procedures or conduct tests or experiments without prior NRC approval. The team reviewed 13 licensee-performed 10 CFR 50.59 screenings, in which the licensee personnel determined that evaluations were not required, to ensure that the exclusion of a full evaluation was consistent with the requirements of 10 CFR 50.59. The team selected evaluations and screenings in the cornerstones of initiating events, mitigating systems, and barrier integrity, with the majority of evaluations and screenings encompassing the mitigating systems cornerstone.
The team selectively reviewed the licensees design modifications and supporting documents associated with replacement of underground cables serving the 480 Vac loads in the essential cooling water (ECW) intake structure, replacement of Class 1E 480 Vac motor control center buckets, and Class 1E 120 Vac inverters. The review focused on the potential impact of the changes on the design and licensing basis, and post-modification testing of the cable and inverters. The specific documents the team inspected are identified in the list of documents reviewed.
The team also reviewed and evaluated the most recent licensee 10 CFR 50.59 program self assessment to determine whether licensee personnel conducted sufficient in-depth analyses of their program to allow for the identification and subsequent resolution of problems or deficiencies. In addition, the team reviewed the licensees self assessment plan to verify the licensees program in resolving issues associated with the application of the 50.59 process.
b. Findings
No findings of significance were identified.
1R21 Safety System Design and Performance Capability
The minimum sample size for this procedure is one risk-significant system for mitigating an accident or maintaining barrier integrity. The team completed the required sample size by reviewing the ECW and the emergency electrical systems. The primary review prompted parallel review and examination of support systems, such as, power, instrumentation and controls, cooling and related structures and components.
.1 System Requirements
a. Inspection Scope
The team inspected the following attributes of the selected systems:
- (1) process medium (water, steam, air, electrical signal),
- (2) energy sources,
- (3) control systems, and
- (4) equipment protection. The team examined the procedural instructions to verify that instructions were consistent with actions required to meet, prevent, and/or mitigate design basis accidents. The team also considered requirements and commitments identified in the Updated Final Safety Analysis Report, technical specifications, design basis documents, and plant drawings. In conjunction with the primary review, a parallel review and examination of support systems and related structures and components were also conducted.
b. Findings
No findings of significance were identified.
.2 System Condition and Capability
a. Inspection Scope
The team reviewed the periodic testing procedures for the selected systems to verify that the capabilities of the systems were periodically verified. The team also reviewed system health reports, as well as a sample of the governing procedures and documentation for the control of calculations that were translated into values used in plant procedures. In addition, the team performed walkdowns of the selected systems to ascertain the material condition of the systems.
To assess the licensees monitoring of the condition of underground cables, the team reviewed a sample of insulation resistance test procedures, test results, and trending for the power cable serving the 4160 Vac ECW pump motors and the power cable serving the 480 Vac motor control centers in the ECW intake structure. The team also reviewed a sample of surveillances of the 13.8/4.16 kV engineered safety features transformers.
The specific documents the team inspected are identified in the list of documents reviewed.
The team also reviewed the operation of the systems by reviewing normal, abnormal, and emergency operating procedures. The review included the Updated Final Safety Analysis Reports, technical specifications, design calculations and drawings.
b. Findings
No findings of significance were identified.
.3 Identification and Resolution of Problems
a. Inspection Scope
The team reviewed a sample of problems associated with the selected systems that were identified by licensee personnel in the corrective action program to evaluate the effectiveness of corrective actions related to design issues and aging hardware.
The sample included open and closed condition reports and their disposition via maintenance work orders, or apparent cause evaluations, as documented in the licensees corrective action program. The sample covered the past 3 years and the documents reviewed are listed in the attachment to this report. Inspection Procedure 71152, Identification and Resolution of Problems, was used as guidance to perform this part of the inspection.
The team reviewed a sample of licensee condition reports involving electrical components and cable. The sample included conditions whereby cables in the underground duct bank to the ECW intake structure had become flooded, or had potential for flooding, and where the licensee had reported adverse trends of insulation
resistance for underground cable serving 480 Vac ECW loads. The specific condition reports the team inspected are identified in the list of documents reviewed.
b. Findings
No findings of significance were identified.
.4 System Walkdowns
a. Inspection Scope
The team performed walkdowns of the accessible portions of the selected systems.
The team focused on the installation, configuration, and visible material condition of equipment and components. During the walkdowns, the team assessed:
The placement of protective barriers and systems, The susceptibility to flooding, fire, or environmental conditions, The physical separation of trains and the provisions for seismic concerns, Accessibility and lighting for any required operator action, The material condition and preservation of systems and equipment, and The conformance of the currently-installed system configuration to the design and licensing bases.
b. Findings
No findings of significance were identified.
.5 Design Review
a. Inspection Scope
The team reviewed the current as-built instrument and control, electrical, and mechanical design of the selected systems and support systems. These reviews included an examination of design assumptions, calculations, environmental qualifications, required system thermal-hydraulic performance, electrical power system performance, control logic, and instrument setpoints and uncertainties. The team assessed the adequacy of calculations, analyses, test procedures, and operating procedures that licensee personnel used during normal and accident conditions.
The team also reviewed the adequacy of the original system design to perform the design basis functions during normal, accident and post-accident conditions. The review included: design basis documents; specifications; reliability calculations; instrument uncertainty/setpoint calculations; uncertainty calculations related to
emergency operating instruction action levels; and schematic diagrams. The adequacy of the design and maintenance of selected support systems was also reviewed.
In the electrical design portion of the inspection, the team selectively reviewed:
- The calculations demonstrating that adequate voltage would be provided to the ECW pumps and motor-operated valves from the preferred (offsite) ac sources, and from the standby (onsite) diesel generator sources, under design basis conditions
- The calculations demonstrating that the ampacities of the underground feeder cables to the ECW pump motors and ECW motor control centers were adequate
- The calculations demonstrating that the electrical protection for the ECW pump motors and feeder cables, and screenwash booster pump motor thermal overload protection, were adequate, and would preclude premature trip.
- The calculation for sizing the Class 1E batteries and instrument bus inverters for both design basis and station blackout conditions.
The review was focused on the acceptability of design inputs, assumptions, and methodology used in the calculations, translation of values to and from dependent documents, and the degree of design margin demonstrated by the results and conclusions. The specific calculations the team inspected are identified in the list of documents reviewed.
b. Findings
No findings of significance were identified.
6. Safety System Inspection and Testing
a. Inspection Scope
