SUMMARY

Inspection Report 05000373/2016001, 05000374/2016001; 01/01/2016-03/31/2016; LaSalle County Station, Units 1 & 2; Problem Identification and Resolution This report covers a 3-month period of inspection by resident inspectors and announced baseline inspections by regional inspectors. One Green finding was identified by the inspectors. The finding involved a non-cited violation (NCV) of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory

Commission (NRC) requirements. The significance of inspection findings is indicated by their color (i.e., greater than Green, or Green, White, Yellow, Red) and determined using Inspection Manual Chapter (IMC) 0609, "Significance Determination Process," dated April 29, 2015.

Cross-cutting aspects are determined using IMC 0310, "Aspects Within the Cross-Cutting Areas," dated December 4, 2014. All violations of NRC requirements are dispositioned in accordance with the NRC's Enforcement Policy, dated February 4, 2015. The NRC's program for overseeing the safe operation of commercial nuclear power reactors is described in NUREG-1649, "Reactor Oversight Process," dated February 2014.

Cornerstone: Barrier Integrity

Green.

A finding of very low safety significance and an associated non-cited violation (NCV) of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion V, "Instructions, Procedures and Drawings," was self-revealed for the licensee's failure to verify zero differential pressure across the jet pump plug seals prior to plug removal, an activity affecting quality, in a manner that was appropriate to the circumstances regarding timeliness of the removal.

The verification was required by steps 6.13.1 and 6.12 of work orders (WO) 1747359-03 and 1804383-05, respectively. The licensee entered this issue into their CAP as action requests 2466339 and 2508333. Corrective actions planned and completed include performed additional analysis and testing of jet pump plug tooling, revised procedures/work instructions, and planned upgrades to the jet pump plug tooling to increase the margins associated with the forces required to displace the seal from the plug. The performance deficiency was determined to be more than minor because if left uncorrected, it had the potential to become a more significant safety concern.

Specifically, the robust physical characteristics of the plugs were such that, if unrecovered and unmitigated, coolant flow through certain peripheral fuel assembly orifices could have become blocked by the plugs and potentially led to fuel melt. The inspectors evaluated the finding in accordance with IMC 0609, "Significance Determination Process," Appendix G, Attachment 1, "Shutdown Operations Significance Determination Process Phase 1 Initial Screening and Characterization of Findings."

Under Exhibit 4, "Barrier Integrity Screening Questions," the inspectors answered "No" to all of the screening questions. Therefore, this issue screened as having very low safety significance (Green). This finding had a cross-cutting aspect in the area of human performance, work management because the licensee did not implement a process of planning, controlling, and executing work activities such that nuclear safety was the overriding priority-as evidenced by the in-field staff verifying zero differential pressure, but then delaying plug removal due to conflicting activities (e.g., shift turnover). As a result, plug removal was later recommenced without re-verifying that conditions had not changed in the intervening period [IMC 0310, H.5]. (Section 4OA2)3

REPORT DETAILS

Summary of Plant Status Unit 1: The unit began the inspection period operating at full power. On January 9, 2016, power was reduced to approximately 83 percent to perform a control rod sequence exchange. The unit was returned to full power later that day. On January 11, 2016, the unit began coasting down at the end of the fuel cycle when the reactor was no longer capable of maintaining full power, until reaching the refueling outage. On February 14, 2016, Unit 1 began down-powering in preparation for refueling outage L1R16, which began on February 15, 2016, when the unit was disconnected from the grid. On March 8, 2016, following completion of the outage, the reactor was restarted, reached criticality but then inadvertently went subcritical. Upon the loss of criticality, operators inserted control rods in accordance with procedures. On March 9, 2016, using a modified startup plan, the unit was restarted and reached Mode 1 without incident.

On March 11, 2016, when Unit 1 had reached approximately 31 percent power, the reactor recirculation (RR) pumps were shifted to high speed. Following upshift of the 1A RR pump, the licensee identified abnormal pressure indications from the pump seal and commenced an unplanned shutdown (forced outage L1F42) to address the issue. On March 16, 2016, following completion of the seal repair work of L1F42, the unit was restarted. Again, the unit had reached approximately 31 percent power when the 1B RR pump tripped during an attempt to upshift to high speed. Following troubleshooting and repair of 1B RR pump, power ascension continued until the unit reached full power on March 18, 2016. On March 18, 2016, shortly after reaching full power, the 1B RR pump seal began to exhibit abnormal indications similar to the previous 1A RR pump issue. The licensee began a second unplanned shutdown of the unit (forced outage L1F43) later that day. Following replacement of both RR pump seals, the licensee commenced startup on March 21, 2016, and achieved full power on March 23, 2016. The unit remained at full power for the rest of the inspection period. Unit 2 The unit began the inspection period operating at full power. On January 29, 2016, power was reduced to 85 percent due to an unexpected issue on the condensate system. The issue was resolved and the unit returned to full power later that day. On March 13, 2016, power was reduced to 85 percent due to an unexpected issue with the 26B high pressure heater. The issue was resolved and the unit returned to full power on March 14, 2016. On March 25, 2016, power was reduced to approximately 64 percent to perform a control rod sequence exchange. The unit was returned to full power on March 27, 2016, where it remained for the rest of the inspection period.

Initiating Events, Mitigating Systems, and Barrier Integrity

1R01 Adverse Weather Protection

.1 Readiness for Impending Adverse Weather Condition-High Wind Conditions

a. Inspection Scope

Since high winds were forecast in the vicinity of the facility for February 19, 2016, the inspectors reviewed the licensee's overall preparations/protection for the expected weather conditions. On February 19, 2016, the inspectors walked down the licensee's emergency alternating current (AC) power systems, because their safety-related functions could be required as a result of high winds or tornado-generated missiles, or the loss of offsite power. The inspectors evaluated the licensee staff's preparations against the site's procedures and determined that the staff's actions were adequate. During the inspection, the inspectors focused on plant-specific design features and the licensee's procedures used to respond to specified adverse weather conditions. The inspectors also toured the plant grounds to look for any loose debris that could become missiles during a tornado. The inspectors evaluated operator staffing and accessibility of controls and indications for those systems required to control the plant. Additionally, the inspectors reviewed the Updated Final Safety Analysis Report (UFSAR) and performance requirements for systems selected for inspection, and verified that operator actions were appropriate as specified by plant specific procedures. The inspectors also reviewed a sample of corrective action program (CAP) items to verify that the licensee identified adverse weather issues at an appropriate threshold and dispositioned them through the CAP in accordance with licensee corrective action procedures.

Documents reviewed are listed in the Attachment to this report. This inspection constituted one readiness for impending adverse weather condition sample as defined in inspection procedure (IP) 71111.01-05.

b. Findings

No findings were identified.

1R04 Equipment Alignment

.1 Semiannual Complete System Walkdown

a. Inspection Scope

On March 8, 2016, the inspectors performed a complete system alignment inspection of the Unit 1 residual heat removal (RHR) shutdown cooling system to verify the functional capability of the system. This system was selected because it was considered both safety significant and risk significant in the licensee's probabilistic risk assessment. The inspectors walked down the system to review mechanical and electrical equipment lineups; electrical power availability; system pressure and temperature indications, as appropriate; component labeling; component lubrication; component and equipment cooling; hangers and supports; operability of support systems; and to ensure that 5 ancillary equipment or debris did not interfere with equipment operation. A review of a sample of past and outstanding work orders (WOs) was performed to determine whether any deficiencies significantly affected the system function. In addition, the inspectors reviewed the CAP database to ensure that system equipment alignment problems were being identified and appropriately resolved. Documents reviewed are listed in the Attachment to this report.

These activities constituted one complete system walkdown sample as defined in IP 71111.04-05.

b. Findings

No findings were identified.

1R05 Fire Protection

.1 Routine Resident Inspector Tours

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors conducted fire protection walkdowns which were focused on availability, accessibility, and the condition of firefighting equipment in the following risk-significant plant areas:

• fire zone 7B3, common diesel generator room;

• fire zone 4E4, Unit 2, Division 2 essential switchgear room;

• fire zone 4E3, Unit 1, Division 2 essential switchgear room; and

• fire zone 7C5, Division 2 RHR service water pump room 674 ft. elevation, during hot work. The inspectors reviewed areas to assess if the licensee had implemented a fire protection program that adequately controlled combustibles and ignition sources within the plant, effectively maintained fire detection and suppression capability, maintained passive fire protection features in good material condition, and implemented adequate compensatory measures for out-of-service, degraded or inoperable fire protection equipment, systems, or features in accordance with the licensee's fire plan.

The inspectors selected fire areas based on their overall contribution to internal fire risk as documented in the plant's Individual Plant Examination of External Events with later additional insights, their potential to impact equipment which could initiate or mitigate a plant transient, or their impact on the plant's ability to respond to a security event.

Using the documents listed in the Attachment to this report, the inspectors verified that fire hoses and extinguishers were in their designated locations and available for immediate use; that fire detectors and sprinklers were unobstructed; that transient material loading was within the analyzed limits; and fire doors, dampers, and penetration seals appeared to be in satisfactory condition. The inspectors also verified that minor issues identified during the inspection were entered into the licensee's CAP. Documents reviewed are listed in the Attachment to this report.

6 These activities constituted four quarterly fire protection inspection samples as defined in IP 71111.05-05.

b. Findings

No findings were identified.

1R08 Inservice Inspection Activities

From February 16, 2016, through February 19, 2016, the inspectors conducted a review of the implementation of the licensee's inservice inspection program for monitoring degradation of the reactor coolant system, risk significant piping and components, and containment systems. The inservice inspections described in Sections 1R08.1 and 1R08.5 below constituted one inspection sample as defined in IP 71111.08-05.

.1 Piping Systems In-Service Inspection

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors observed the following non-destructive examinations mandated by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)Section XI Code to evaluate compliance with the ASME Code Section XI and Section V requirements, and if any indications and defects were detected, to determine if these were dispositioned in accordance with the ASME Code or an NRC-approved alternative requirement.

1R13 Maintenance Risk Assessments and Emergent Work Control

.1 Maintenance Risk Assessments and Emergent Work Control

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors reviewed the licensee's evaluation and management of plant risk for the maintenance and emergent work activities affecting risk-significant and safety-related equipment listed below to verify that the appropriate risk assessments were performed prior to removing equipment for work:

• 345 kilovolt offsite power line 0101 work;

• increased risk due to high winds;

• Unit 2 motor-driven reactor feed pump seal leak event of March 8 and unplanned unavailability; and

• Unit 1 inadvertent subcriticality occurrence. These activities were selected based on their potential risk significance relative to the Reactor Safety cornerstones. As applicable for each activity, the inspectors verified that risk assessments were performed as required by 10 CFR 50.65(a)(4) and were accurate and complete. When emergent work was performed, the inspectors verified that the plant risk was promptly reassessed and managed. The inspectors reviewed the scope of maintenance work, discussed the results of the assessment with the licensee's probabilistic risk analyst or shift technical advisor, and verified plant conditions were consistent with the risk assessment. The inspectors also reviewed TS requirements and walked down portions of redundant safety systems, when applicable, to verify risk analysis assumptions were valid and applicable requirements were met. Documents reviewed are listed in the Attachment to this report.

These maintenance risk assessments and emergent work control activities constituted four samples as defined in IP 71111.13-05.

b. Findings

No findings were identified.

1R15 Operability Determinations and Functional Assessments

.1 Operability Evaluations

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors reviewed the following issues:

• operability review for partial length rods issue;

• Unit 2 high pressure core spray with loss of 480V ventilation; and

• operability evaluation 12-003, revision 3 (Pool Swell). The inspectors selected these potential operability issues based on the risk significance of the associated components and systems. The inspectors evaluated the technical adequacy of the evaluations to ensure that TS operability was properly justified and the 10 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 TS and UFSAR to the licensee's evaluations to determine whether the components or systems were 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. The inspectors determined, where appropriate, compliance with bounding limitations associated with the evaluations. Additionally, the inspectors reviewed a sampling of CAP documents to verify that the licensee was identifying and correcting any deficiencies associated with operability evaluations. Documents reviewed are listed in the Attachment to this report. This operability inspection constituted three samples as defined in IP 71111.15-05.

b. Findings

(Opened) Unresolved Item 05000373; 05000374/2016001-01: Adequacy of Changes to Pool Swell Analysis

Introduction:

The inspectors identified an unresolved item (URI) related to the licensee's changes to the assumptions in their design basis method of analysis associated with the pool swell calculation of record. The inspectors could not resolve the issue of concern during the inspection period due to the need for additional information.

Description:

While reviewing the recent revision to operability evaluation 12-003, the inspectors identified an issue of concern regarding the licensee's changes to the assumptions of the design basis calculation of record for the loss of coolant accident suppression pool swell analysis. This operability evaluation assessed the effects of a previous error identified by the licensee in the design calculation and incorporated additional changes in the design assumptions which resulted in the recapture of significant amount of margin in the analysis. Specifically, the licensee changed the initial blowdown characteristics from all air to an air/steam mixture, which improved the margin of the analysis. The inspectors are evaluating the changes against the guidance of IMC 0326, "Operability Determinations & Functionality Assessments for Conditions Adverse to Quality or Safety." Additionally, the inspectors are reviewing whether or not regulatory relief was/is required to be sought by the licensee from the NRC for the ASME Code requirement per the guidance in IMC 0326. The inspectors are opening this URI because more information/guidance is needed from the NRC Headquarters Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation to determine if this issue of concern represents a violation of regulatory requirements. (URI 05000373; 05000374/2016001-01: Adequacy of Changes to Pool Swell Analysis).

1R18 Plant Modifications

.1 Plant Modifications

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors reviewed the permanent modification of the design and licensing basis pertaining to partial length rods. The inspectors reviewed the configuration changes and 11 associated 10 CFR 50.59 safety evaluation screening against the design basis, the UFSAR, and the TS, as applicable, to verify that the modification did not affect the operability or availability of the affected systems. As applicable, the inspectors verified that relevant procedure, design, and licensing documents were properly updated. Lastly, the inspectors discussed the plant modification with engineering staff to ensure that the individuals were aware of how the operation with the plant modification in place could impact overall plant performance. Documents reviewed are listed in the Attachment to this report. This inspection constitute one permanent plant modification sample as defined in IP 71111.18-05.

b. Findings

(Opened) Unresolved Item 05000373; 05000374/2016001-02: Partial Length Rods Exceeded Burnup Limit in Design Basis Method of Analysis

Introduction:

The inspectors identified an URI related to the licensee's use of partial length fuel rods beyond the burnup limit specified in their design basis method of analysis. The inspectors could not resolve the issue of concern during the inspection period due to the need for additional information.

Description:

In action request (AR) 01647125, Exelon-corporate identified a concern with the potential excessive exposure in partial length rods for LaSalle Unit 1 Cycle 16. This issue also affects the core design of the current Unit 2 cycle. Subsequently, AR 02537519 was written to document the condition as it relates to the Regulatory Guide (RG) 1.183, "Alternative Radiological Source Terms for Evaluating Design Basis Accidents at Nuclear Power Reactors", July 2000. Footnote 11 of the RG, provides an applicability limitation of 62,000 megawatt days per metric ton of uranium for non-loss-of-coolant accident gap release fractions specified in Table 3 of the RG. This RG is the licensee's NRC-approved method of analysis for alternate source term as described in the LaSalle UFSAR, and is therefore a part of the licensee's design and licensing basis. With this proposed change to the application of RG 1.183, the licensee performed a 50.59 evaluation to review the potential impact of partial length rods operating above 62,000 megawatt days per metric ton of uranium burnup to determine if prior NRC approval was necessary to implement the change. The inspectors have reviewed the licensee's 50.59 evaluation, FCP 397411, Revision 1, and calculation, L-003067, Revision 2C, and have identified an issue of concern. Specifically, the licensee concluded that prior NRC review and approval were not needed to operate its fuel in a manner that deviated from the limitations delineated within the NRC-approved methodology of RG 1.183 in their current licensing basis. The inspectors are opening this URI because more information/guidance is needed from the NRC Headquarters Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation to determine if this issue of concern represents a violation of regulatory requirements. (URI 05000373; 05000374/2016001-02: Partial Length Rods Exceeded Burnup Limit in Design Basis Method of Analysis).

1R19 Post-Maintenance Testing

.1 Post-Maintenance Testing

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors reviewed the following post-maintenance activities to verify that procedures and test activities were adequate to ensure system operability and functional capability:

• Unit common diesel generator cooling water strainer following replacement & weld repairs;

• Unit 1 reactor core isolation cooling (RCIC) following maintenance (low pressure testing/reduced flow);

• valve 1E12-F050A, following maintenance; and

• Unit 1 RCIC, following maintenance (normal pressure and full flow). These activities were selected based upon the structure, system, or component's ability to impact risk. The inspectors evaluated these activities for the following (as applicable): the effect of testing on the plant had been adequately addressed; testing was adequate for the maintenance performed; acceptance criteria were clear and demonstrated operational readiness; test instrumentation was appropriate; tests were performed as written in accordance with properly reviewed and approved procedures; equipment was returned to its operational status following testing (temporary modifications or jumpers required for test performance were properly removed after test completion); and test documentation was properly evaluated. The inspectors evaluated the activities against TSs, the UFSAR, 10 CFR Part 50 requirements, licensee procedures, and various NRC generic communications to ensure that the test results adequately ensured that the equipment met the licensing basis and design requirements. In addition, the inspectors reviewed CAP documents associated with post-maintenance tests to determine whether the licensee was identifying problems and entering them in the CAP and that the problems were being corrected commensurate with their importance to safety. Documents reviewed are listed in the Attachment to this report.

This inspection constituted four post-maintenance testing samples as defined in IP 71111.19-05.

b. Findings

No findings were identified.

1R20 Outage Activities

.1 Refueling Outage Activities

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors reviewed the Outage Safety Plan and contingency plans for the Unit 1 refueling outage, conducted February 15, 2016, thru March 8, 2016, to confirm that the licensee had appropriately considered risk, industry experience, and previous site-specific problems in developing and implementing a plan that assured maintenance 13 of defense-in-depth. During the refueling outage, the inspectors observed portions of the shutdown and cooldown processes and monitored licensee controls over the outage activities listed below:

• licensee configuration management, including maintenance of defense-in-depth commensurate with the outage safety plan for key safety functions and compliance with the applicable TS when taking equipment out of service;

• implementation of clearance activities and confirmation that tags were properly hung and equipment appropriately configured to safely support the work or testing;

• installation and configuration of reactor coolant pressure, level, and temperature instruments to provide accurate indication, accounting for instrument error;

4OA2 Identification and Resolution of Problems

.1 Routine Review of Items Entered into the Corrective Action Program

a. Inspection Scope

As part of the various baseline IPs discussed in previous sections of this report, the inspectors routinely reviewed issues during baseline inspection activities and plant status reviews to verify they were being entered into the licensee's CAP at an appropriate threshold, that adequate attention was being given to timely corrective actions, and that adverse trends were identified and addressed. Attributes reviewed included: identification of the problem was complete and accurate; timeliness was commensurate with the safety significance; evaluation and disposition of performance issues, generic implications, common causes, contributing factors, root causes, extent-of-condition reviews, and previous occurrences reviews were proper and adequate; and that the classification, prioritization, focus, and timeliness of corrective actions were commensurate with safety and sufficient to prevent recurrence of the issue.

Minor issues entered into the licensee's CAP as a result of the inspectors' observations are included in the Attachment to this report.

20 These routine reviews for the identification and resolution of problems did not constitute any additional inspection samples. Instead, by procedure they were considered an integral part of the inspections performed during the quarter and documented in Section 1 of this report.

b. Findings

These daily reviews were performed by procedure as part of the inspectors' daily plant status monitoring activities and, as such, did not constitute any separate inspection samples.

b. Findings

No findings were identified.

.3 Annual Followup of Selected Issues:

Root Cause Evaluation 2466339 (Closed) Unresolved Item 05000374/2015001-05; Loss of Jet Pump Plug Seals during L2R15

a. Inspection Scope

During a review of items entered in the licensee's CAP, the inspectors recognized a CAP item documenting the need to determine the root causes of the jet pump plug seal issue.

As a result of the root cause evaluation conducted under AR 2466339, an additional root cause evaluation was initiated to explore the decision making processes associated with the lost seals. The licensee used formal decision making tools to facilitate the evaluation of potential solutions for complex issues. The second root cause evaluation was completed during the last quarter of 2015. One challenge that the licensee identified in the second root cause evaluation was that the entry conditions for some of the decision making processes required that staff recognized that decisions being made were complex or had potentially significant consequences. In the case of the lost seals, the licensee organization believed that a simple solution had been identified and that additional supporting evidence was needed in the form of a formal engineering product.

During this additional engineering effort, details emerged which challenged previous assumptions. Specifically, licensee staff initially believed that the seal would break down or soften if held at elevated temperatures for a short duration. Additional testing and research revealed that the seals would break down only after significantly more time than previously assumed and after a period of irradiation. A startup plan was developed that would ensure that the seals were degraded and therefore nonconsequential prior to reaching elevated power levels.

21 This review constituted one in-depth problem identification and resolution sample as defined in IP 71152-05. The finding below represents the closure of this URI.

b. Findings

Failure to Maintain Appropriate Work Instructions Led to Lost Parts in the Reactor Vessel

Introduction:

A finding of very low safety significance and an associated NCV of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion V, "Instructions, Procedures, and Drawings," was self-revealed for the licensee's failure to verify zero differential pressure across the jet pump plug seals prior to tool removal, as required by step 6.12 of WO 1804383 and step 6.13.1 of WO 1747359-03, in a manner that was appropriate to the circumstances regarding timeliness of the removal.

Description:

During the 2015 Unit 2 refueling outage (L2R15) and in support of planned maintenance on reactor recirculating pump isolation valves, several jet pump plugs were installed. Once installed, these plugs became a temporary reactor coolant system boundary. After installation, water would be drained from piping sections leading from the installed seals to the valves under maintenance. There were five seals for each jet pump plug. These plugs were evaluated for this function and found to be acceptable by the licensee in Engineering Change EC 381933, "Evaluate Work Order Tasks to Install RR Jet Pump Nozzle Plugs and RPV Outlet Nozzle Plug for Isolating the 2B RR Pump for Mechanical Seal Work." However, one seal was lost from jet pump plug #5 and two seals were lost from jet pump plug #14 after the removal of these plugs. The inspectors reviewed both of the associated root cause reports performed by the licensee. The first report was "Loss of Jet Pump Plug Seals during L2R15," under AR 2466339 and the second was "Decision Making Related to the Foreign Material Integrity Event," performed under AR 2508333. The inspectors did not identify any concerns with respect to the licensee's conclusions reached in the reports. The precise mechanism by which the seal became separated from the plug varied, but in each case, the forces applied to the seals exceeded the forces generated by the seal retaining device. The licensee's root cause evaluation determined that the failures were due to two causes. First, the design of the seal discs to assembly attachment lacked adequate margin to prevent unseating and separation of the seals when subjected to off normal conditions, such as a loss of vent during plug removal. Second, inadequate fill and vent of the affected piping sections resulted in differential pressure across the seals.

During plug removal, the dynamic forces from the differential pressure unseated the seals from the jet pump plug assembly. The inspectors determined that a common factor of the licensee's performance for both jet pump plug seal losses was inadequate verification of zero differential pressure across the seals. The licensee verified zero differential pressure but then delaying plug removal due to conflicting activities such as shift turnover. Plugs removal was later recommenced without re-verifying that conditions had not changed in the intervening period. On February 8, 2015, while performing WO 1804383-05, "RXS Install/Remove 'A' Loop Jet Pump Plugs - OPCC - MR90," and on February 18, 2015, while performing WO 1747359-03, "RXS Install/Remove 'B' Loop Jet Pump Plugs - OPCC - MR90" (activities affecting quality), licensee personnel failed to maintain a differential pressure of zero across the jet pump plug seals after performing steps 6.12 and 6.13.1 in the respective 22 work orders. The work instructions did not contain any specific requirements for the timeliness of performing these steps other than the term "Prior to [-] Jet Pump Plug removal." The term "Prior to," without any further guidance or clarifications drawing attention to the critical timing of this step, directly resulted in the combination of static head and dynamic forces that exceeded the capacity of the plug-retaining device and three seals were pulled off by the force and lost in the reactor vessel. The inspectors determined that this lack of specificity regarding timeliness was not appropriate to the circumstances. Regarding the physical presence of the plugs in the reactor, the licensee worked with vendors and laboratories to perform analyses and tests to support the return to full-power operations by showing that the plugs had degraded sufficiently with time and irradiation-effects in the reactor to no longer pose a threat to blocking of fuel bundle flow. Additional details can be found in NRC integrated inspection report 05000373/2015002; 05000374/2015002 (ADAMS Accession No. ML15224B568).

Analysis:

The inspectors determined that the lack of specific guidance regarding timeliness of the verification step of zero differential pressure with respect to the removal of the jet pump plug tool, was not appropriate to the circumstances as required by 10 CFR 50, App B, Criterion V, and was a performance deficiency. The finding was determined to be more than minor because the finding, if left uncorrected, would become a more significant safety concern. Specifically, the durability and geometry of the seals were such that, if unrecovered and unmitigated, coolant flow through small fuel assembly orifices could have become blocked and potentially led to fuel melt. The inspectors concluded this finding was associated with the human performance attribute of the Barrier Integrity cornerstone. The inspectors determined the finding could be evaluated in accordance with IMC 0609, "Significance Determination Process," Appendix G, Attachment 1, "Shutdown Operations Significance Determination Process Phase 1 Initial Screening and Characterization of Findings." This appendix was selected as it contains screening criteria developed specifically for shutdown operations. Under Exhibit 4, "Barrier Integrity Screening Questions," the inspectors answered "No" to all of the screening questions. Therefore, this issue screens as having very low safety significance (Green). This finding has a cross cutting aspect in the area of human performance, work management because the licensee did not implement a process of planning, controlling, and executing work activities such that nuclear safety is the overriding priority. This was evidenced by the example of in field staff verifying zero differential pressure but then delaying plug removal due to conflicting activities (e.g., shift turnover). As a result, plugs removal was later recommenced without re-verifying that conditions had not changed in the intervening period [IMC 0310, H.5].

Enforcement:

Title 10 of the CFR, Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion V, "Instructions, Procedures, and Drawings," requires, in part, that activities affecting quality be prescribed by documented instructions, procedures, and drawings of a type appropriate to the circumstances and shall be accomplished in accordance with these instructions, procedures, and drawings. The licensee established WO 1804383 5, "RXS Install/Remove 'A' Loop Jet Pump Plugs - OPCC - MR90," and WO 1747359-03, "RXS Install/Remove 'B' Loop Jet Pump Plugs - OPCC - MR90" as the implementing instructions/procedures for jet pump plug installation and removal, an activity affecting 23 quality. Steps 6.12 and 6.13.1 of the above respective WOs state "Prior to ["A"/"B"] Loop Jet Pump Plug removal, request Shift Manager to backfill ["A"/"B"] RR Loop to equalize the differential pressure across the plugs. Verify differential pressure across the plug is at zero." Contrary to the above, the work instructions in the above WOs did not contain any specific requirements for the timeliness of performing steps 6.12 or 6.13.1, other than the term "Prior to [-] Jet Pump Plug removal," and were determined to be inappropriate to the circumstances. Specifically, the term "Prior to," without any further guidance or clarifications drawing attention to the critical nature of the timing of these steps, directly resulted in the loss of the seals in the reactor vessel. On February 8, 2015, while performing WO 1804383 05, and on February 18, 2015, while performing WO 1747359 03 (activities affecting quality), licensee personnel failed to maintain a differential pressure of zero across the jet pump plug seal after performing steps 6.12 and 6.13.1 in the respective work orders due to the lack of specificity for the timing of execution. The licensee entered this issue into their CAP as AR 2466339 and AR 2508333. Corrective actions planned and completed include performed additional analysis and testing of jet pump plug tooling, revised procedures/work instructions, and planned upgrades to the jet pump plug tooling to increase the margins associated with the forces required to displace the seal from the tool. Because the issue has been entered into the licensee's CAP as ARs 2466339 and 2508333, this violation is being treated as an NCV consistent with Section 2.3.2 of the NRC Enforcement Policy. (NCV 05000374/2016001-03, Failure to Maintain Appropriate Work Instructions Led to Lost Parts in the Reactor Vessel)

4OA5 Other Activities

.1 Follow Up Inspection for Three or More Severity Level IV Traditional Enforcement Violations in the Same Area in a 12-Month Period

a. Inspection Scope

This inspection was conducted in accordance with IP 92723, "Follow Up Inspection for Three or More Severity Level (SL) IV Traditional Enforcement Violations in the Same Area in a 12-Month Period," to assess the licensee's evaluation of four SL IV violations that occurred within the area of impeding the regulatory process from January 1, 2015, to December 31, 2015. These violations were documented in NRC inspection reports as: (1) NCV 05000373/2015009-02; 05000374/2015009-02, Use of an Analytical Method to Determine the Core Operating Limits without Prior NRC Approval; (2) NCV 05000373/2015009-01; 05000374/2015009-01, Failure to Perform a Required 50.59 Evaluation; (3) NCV 05000373/2015002-04; 05000374/2015002-04, Failure to Include Limiting Conditions for Operation in the Technical Specifications; and (4) NCV 05000373/2015002-03; 05000374/2015002-03, Inadequate 10 CFR 50.59 Evaluation for Jet Pump Plugs Affecting Fuel Bundle Cooling 24 The inspection objectives were to provide assurance that:

• the licensee understood the causes of multiple SL IV traditional enforcement (TE) violations;

• the licensee identified the extent of condition and extent of cause of multiple SL IV TE violations; and

• the licensee's corrective actions to these TE violations sufficiently addressed the causes. The inspectors reviewed: 1) the various licensee CAP documents including Apparent Cause Evaluation (ACE) 2537659, "Traditional Enforcement Violations," and Work Group Evaluation (WGE) 2528988 for the TE violations; 2) the licensee's Check-In Self-Assessment Report 2591460-04, "IP 92723 Follow up Inspection for Three or More Severity Level IV TE Violations in the Same Area in a 12-Month Period;" and 3) the licensee's CAP database for similar instances of TE violations. Documents reviewed are listed in the Attachment to this report.

b. Findings

No findings were identified during this inspection. The licensee's causal analyses identified how the findings occurred, documented extent of condition and extent of cause, and considered similar related events. The ACE and WGE reviews for commonality among the individual evaluations were consistent with licensee requirements, and consistent with the observations documented in the individual condition reports and subsequent analysis. Corrective actions sufficiently addressed the identified apparent and contributing causes, and were prioritized in the licensee's Check-In Self-Assessment, Attachment 3, "Schedule for Open Actions." As of the end of this inspection, not all corrective actions were completed, but were scheduled. c. Observations Section 02.01, "Review Problem Identification," of IP 92723 contains guidance that states if the violations associated with the inspection were identified by the NRC, an evaluation should be done to address why processes such as peer review, supervisory oversight, inspection, testing, self-assessments, or quality activities did not identify the problem. The inspectors noted that the licensee's evaluations identified several apparent or contributing causes to the TE violations, including:

• incorrect assumptions and inappropriate decisions;

• lack of clear and correct guidance;

• inadequate review/challenge;

• inadequate procedural guidance; and

• lack of questioning attitude. While these licensee-identified apparent and contributing causes were associated with failed or ineffective barriers, the licensee focused on one or two individual roles (i.e.,

preparer and reviewer) as being contributors to the failed or ineffective barriers that resulted in the violations. The licensee did not perform a more holistic review of how the different organizations involved with these issues failed to prevent the violations.

25 Specifically, for each TE violation associated with 50.59 evaluations, the issues were being formally evaluated in accordance with the licensee's 50.59 procedure, which had an incorporated peer review process and supervisory review. The licensee's ACE and WGE addressed how the actions of both the preparer and reviewer in the 50.59 process led to the violation, but neither addressed why the peer review process or supervisory oversight failed to prevent the problem. Section 02.02, "Evaluate Cause, Extent of Condition and Extent of Cause Evaluations," of IP 92723 contains guidance that states that a collective evaluation of the causes for indications of higher level problems with a process or system should be done when there are multiple issues. As an example, the procedure states that issues associated with personnel failing to follow procedures may be indicative of a problem with supervisory oversight and communication of standards. Concerning NCV 05000373/2015009-01; 05000374/2015009-01, "Failure to Perform a Required 50.59 Evaluation" and NCV 05000373/2015002-03; 05000374/2015002-03, "Inadequate 10 CFR 50.59 Evaluation for Jet Pump Plugs Affecting Fuel Bundle Cooling," licensee procedure LS-AA-104, "Exelon 50.59 Review Process," is specific regarding documentation of 50.59 screenings or evaluations such that a qualified person, who was knowledgeable in the subject area, could recognize the essential argument leading to the preparer's conclusion. In both cases, neither the preparer nor reviewer were rigorous enough in their execution of LS-AA-104, such that the 50.59 screening or evaluation did not contain sufficient information on how a conclusion was reached. Again, the licensee's ACE and WGE addressed the actions of both the preparer and reviewer in the 50.59 process, but neither evaluation addressed the potential for a higher level problem with a process or system. The inspectors discussed these observations with the licensee. The licensee documented the observations in their CAP as AR 02622080.
