4  ENCLOSURE 1 ENFORCEMENT CONFERENCE SU N RY On October 27, 1988, representatives from Duke Power Company (OPC) met with the NRC in the Region !! office in Atlanta, Georgia to discuss operability of the Hydrogen Skimmer (VX) system and the inoperability of sefety systems due to inadequate post modification testin Following opening remarks by J. P. Stohr NRC, Ri! Acting Deputy Regional
: Administrator, DPC gave two presentations (see Enclosure 3) which addressed NRC concerns on the subjects listed above. On the VX system, in addition to covering a system overview, a sequence of events, and causes and contributing factors, DPC addressed specific NRC concerns regarding preoperational testing of the VX system, a decision to enter Mode 4 on Unit 2 with VX flows below that given in the FSAR, and OPCs operability determination process. DPCs

UNIT 1 DURING A UNIT 1 CONTAINMENT CLOSEOUT INSPECTION IN NOVEMBER OF 1987, NRC PERSONNEL NOTICED THAT A HYDROGEN SNIMMER (VX)
SYSTEM DAMPER APPEARED TO BE CLOSED. OPERATIONS PERSONNEL INSPECTED AND VERIFIED THAT EACH VX SYSTEM DAMPER WAS IN ITS CORRECT PRE-OPERATIONAL POSITION WITH THE EXCEPTION OF ONE DAMPER QUESTIONED BY THE NRC INSPECTOR. THE CORRECT POSITION 'dAS VERIFIED BY PAINT SHADOWS ON THE DAMPER ACTUATORS CREATED PRIOR TO UNIT 1 CRITICALIT THE QUESTIONED DAMPER WAS ONLY SLIGHTLY MISPOSITIONED IN THE CLOSED DIRECTIO SINCE THERE WAS NO PROCEDURE TO ASSURE PROPER DAMPER POSITIONS ON THE VX SYSTEM, NRC PERSONNEL WERE CONCERNED ABOUT THE UNIT 2 DAMPER POSITION STATION PERSONNEL AGREED TO DO VX FLOW BALANCE TESTS FOR BOTH UNITS DURING THElR NEXT REFUELING OUTAGE UNIT 2 AT THE END OF THE JULY 1988 REFUELING OUTAGE, PERFORMANCE PERSONNEL TOOK "AS FOUND" FLOW MEASUREMENTS USING A HAND HELD VELOMETER ON BOTH TRAINS OF THE UNIT 2 VX SYSTE SOME VX SYSTEM DAMPER COMPARTMENT FLOWS DID NOT MEET FSAR REQUIREMENTS AND TWO DAMPERS, BOTH SERVING THE REACTOR HEAD AREA, WERE FOUND CLOSED, ALL DAMPERS WERE ADJUSTED IN AN ATTEMPT TO ACHIEVE FLOW RATES LISTED IN THE FSAR.

ROOT CA'USE

WO PROBLEMS EVENTUALLY LED TO THIS SITUATION:
  (1) THE PREOPERATIONAL TEST PERFORMED ON THE VX SYSTEM WAS INSUFFICIENT TO PROVE OPERABILITY. THE STATION PERSONNEL'S DEGREE OF UNDERSTANDING OF THE SYSTEM AND OUR DEPENDENCE UPON PREVIOUSLY AGREED UPON TESTING COMMITNENTS LED US TO OMIT FLOW BALANCE TESTING OF THIS SYST M FROM THE PREOPERATIONAL TEST FROGRA (2) APPROPRIATE MEASURES WERE NOT TAKEN TO ENSURE THE FLOW BALANCE OF THIS SYST m WAS MAINTAINED EITHER THROUGH PF.RIODIC TESTING OR CONTROL OF DAMPER POSITION CONTRIBUTING FACTOR BY DESIGN, THE VX SYSTEM !!AS A SINGLE HEADER THAT DRAVS AIR FROM EACH OF THE CONTAINMENT COMPARTMENTS BY USE OF REDUNDANT FANS LOCATED ON EITHER END OF THE HEADER. EITHER FAN IS CAPABLE OF DRAWING THE TOTAL DESIGN BASIS FLOWS FROM THE AREAS SERVICE HOWEVER. THE EQUIPMENT CONFIGURATION OF THE SYSTEM IS SUCH THAT BALANCE OF THE INDIVIDUAL COMPARTMENT FSAR FLOW RATES IS UNOBTAINABLE WHEN OPERATING THE FANS INDEPENDENTLY. THE SYSTEM IS BEING MODIFIED TO CORRECT THIS DEFICIENC SUBSEQUENT TESTING WILL VALIDATE THE NEW DESIG PREOPERATIOJAL TESTING OF THE VX SYSTDI UNIT #1 THE ORIGINAL PREOPERATIONAL TEST PREPARED AND PERFORMED FOR UNIT #1 WAS BASED ON THE CHAPTER 14 FSAR ABSTRAC THE

ABSTRACT INCLUDED NO PROVISIONS FOR FLOW BALANCING THE SYSTEM AND NO BALANCE WAS PERFORMED. STATION PERSONNEL ASSUMED THAT THE HVAC VENDOR HAD BALANCED THE SYSTEM. THIS WAS THE NORMAL PRACTICE FOR HVAC SYSTEMS. THIS SYSTEM WAS DIFFERENT. THE HVAC VENDOR WAS NOT ASSOCIATED WITH THE SUCTION RING HEADE LATER IN UNIT #1'S PREOPERATIONAL TEST:lNG, THE PROPER POSITIONING OF CERTAIN DAMPERS OF THE VX SYSTEM WAS QUESTIONE IN ORDER TO RESOLVE THESE QUESTIONS PLANT PERSONNEL CONDUCTED A FLOW BALANC THE FLOW BALANCE WAS INADEQUATE AS A RESULT OF BOTH TRAINS BEING OPERATED SIMULTANEOUSLY. THIS FLOW BALANCE WAS DOCUMENTED IN A 3/23/81 MEMORANDUM TO FILE AND WAS NOT PART OF THE PREOPERATIONAL TEST PROGRA IT WAS DONE TO ANSWER SYSTEM OPERABILITI QUESTION IT WAS STILL ASSUMED THE HVAC VENDOR HAD PROPERLY BALANCED THE SYSTE . UNIT 2 AFTER REVIEWING THE UNIT 2 PREOPERATIONAL TESTING FOR THE VX SYSTEM, IT IS DIFFICULT TO DETERMINE EXACTLY WHAT WAS DONE IN REGARDS TO FLOW BALANCING THE SYSTEM. AGAIN HEAVY DEPENDENCE WAS PLACED UPON THE HVAC VENDOR PROPERLY BALANCING THE SYSTEM. WITHOUT FURTHER 'INFORMATION WE CAN ONLY CONCLUDE THE "A" TRAIN WAS BALANCED. HOWEVER, THE RESULTS ARE NOT CONSISTENT WITH CURRENT PERFORMANCE OF THE SYSTEM. THOSE INVOLVED WITH THE UNIT 2 TESTING ARE NO LONGER WITH DUKE POWER COMPANY AND FOR THIS REASON FURTHER INVESTIGATION IS RESTRICTE .
*
.
.
. 3. INADEQUACY OF THE VX PREOPERATIONAL TEST AT THE TIME OF OUR PREOPERATIONAL TEST PROGRAM, OUR PRIMARY EMPHASIS WAS ON ECCS SYSTEMS. THE TEST PROGRAM FOR BALANCE OF PLANT, SAFETY RELATED SYSTEMS WAS NOT AS CAREFULLY
:
SCRUTINIZED. THIS WAS TRUE OF THE HVAC SYSTEMS WHERE TWO FACTORS COMBINED TO INHIBIT PROPER TESTING. THE FIRST FACTOR
,
WAS THE CLARITY AND AVAILABILITY OF DESIGN BASIS INFORMATION
; ON THESE PARTICULAR SYSTEMS. THE OTHER FACTOR WAS THE DEPENDENCE ON THE HVAC VENDOR FOR SYSTEM START U '
,
i ANOTHER FACTOR LEADING TO THE INADEQUATE PREOPERATIONAL TEST ON THE VX SYSTEM WAS THE FAILURE TO INCLUDE FLOW BALANCE REQUIREMENTS IN CHAPTER 14 0F THE FSAR. DURING THIS TIME
.
) PERIOD CHAPTER 14 0F THE FSAR AND THE TECHNICAL
,
! SPECIFICATIONS WERE USED AS THE PRIMARY SOURCE OF TESTING t
COMMITMENTS. AT THE TIME OUR PREOPERATIONAL TEST PROGRAM WAS CONDUCTED WE DID NOT PROGRAMATICALLY LOOK BEYOND THESE DOCUMENTS FOR OTHER TESTING REQUIREMENTS.
 
l l 4. CORRECTIVE ACTIONS SPECIFICALLY FOR THE VX SYSTEM:
  * WE WILL MODIFY THE SYSTEM TO ENRANCE OUR ABILITY TO 1  BAIANCE THE SKIMMER FLOWS.
 
i e WE WILL CONDUCT A TEST TO OPTIMIZE THE FLOW BALANCE I
OF THE VX SYSTEM.
 
ll
!  * WE WILL ESTABLISH APPROPRIATE CONTROLS TO ENSLTE l

THE AUXILIARY FEEDWATER SYSTEM IS BEING USED AS A "PILOT" SYSTEM. AFTER THIS REVIEW IS COMPLETE, A SCHEDULE WILL BE ESTABLISHED FOR ALL SYSTEMS INVOLVE IT IS ANTICIPATED THE REVIEW WILL BE DONE BY MAY OF 198 DECISION TO ENTER MODE #4 SITUATION ON JULY 21, 1988 THE VX FLOW BALANCE WAS PERFORMED AT THE END OF THE UNIT #2 REFUELING OUTAGE WHILE IN MODE # IT WAS ONE OF MANY TESTS PERFORMED, MOSTLY AS A RESULT OF MAINTENANCE AND MODIFICATIONS, DURING THE LAST WEEKS OF THE OUTAGE.

THE DECISION WAS MADE AT THE APPROPRIATE LEVEL OF MANAGEMEN THE SUPERINTENDENT OF OPERATIONS, MAINTENANCE. TECHNICAL SERVICES, AND INTEGRATED SCHEDULING ALL WERE INVOLVED IN THE DECISION. ALSO INVOLVED WERE THE DESIGN ENGINEERING SITE OFFICE MANAGER AND OTHER MANAGEMENT PERSONS FROM THE CORPORATE DESIGN ENGINEERING GROU THE SENIOR RESIDENT INSPECTOR FOR THE NRC WAS MADE AWARE OF THE DECISION AS A COURTES HIS CONCURRENCE WAS NOT SOUGHT OR OBTAINED.

.
. FACTORS CONSIDERED IN THE DECISION FOLLOWING THE COMMUNICATION OF TEST RESULTS TO THE CORPORATE DESIGN ENGINEERING GROUP. THOSE INVOLVED AND RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DESIGN OF THE VX SYSTEM WERE VERY CONFIDENT THAT THE VX SYSTEM WOULD STILL PERFORM ITS DESIGN FUNCTION IN ITS DEGRADED CONDITION. THESE DESIGN EXPERTS CLEARLY BELIEVED THEY COULD PRESENT A TECHNICALLY CORRECT JUSTIFICATION FOR THE OPERABILITY OF THE VX SYSTEM. AND EXPRESSED THIS CONFIDENCE THROUGHOUT THE EVALUATION PERIO THE FLOW BALANCE TESTING HAD GONE THROUGH SEVERAL UNSUCCESSFUL ITERATIONS. THE ORIGINAL INTENT OF THE TEST HAD BEEN TO BALANCE THE SYSTEM TO FSAR FLOW VALUES. WE HAD DISCOVERED THIS WOULD NOT BE POSSIBLE. THE NEW PURPOSE HAD BECOME TO GATHER ENOUGH DATA TO SUPPORT THE CORPORATE DESIGN ENGINEERING GROUP'S EFFORT TO JUSTIFY THE OPERABILITY OF THE VX SYSTM. ONCE THE DESIGN EXPERTS STATED THEY HAD SUFFICIENT DATA TO SATISTY THIS NEED. FURTHER TESTING WAS UNNECESSARY. THE LETERMINATION THAT SUFFICIENT DATA HAD BEEN GATHERED OCCURRED DURING THE FLOW HOOD MEASURD(ENTS ON UNIT 2
"B" TRAIN. THUS A COMPLETE SET OF "B" TRAIN FLOW HOOD MEASURD(ENTS WAS NOT TAKEN PRIOR TO ENTERING MODE # STATION MANAGD(ENT'S DECISION TO PROCEED TO MODE #4 WAS PRIMARILY BASED OP.4 INPUT FROM EXPERTS FAMILIAR WITH THE VX SYSTEM. THESE EXPERTS CLEARLY BELIEVED THE SYSTEM WOULD PERFORM ITS DESIGN FUNCTION. WITH THIS CONFIDENCE STATION

CONTAINMENT AIR RETURN AND HYDROGEN SKIMMER SYSTEM FUNCTIONAL TEST Abstra Purpose To descnstrate the capability of the system to operate and to provide design air flow Prerequisites The .cs condenser inlet doors are blocked closed to prevent operatio Test Method Each containment air return fan and hydrogen skimmer fan is operated. Tests are performed to demonstrate the proper head and flow characteristics of eacn fan. Automatic operation of the Containment air return fans is verified for a simulated high-high containment pressure signal (S ). System interlocks are P
also verifie A
 
REGION THAT DOES NOT DIRECTLY BENEFIT FROM CIRCULATirN PRODUCED BY THE C)NTAINMENT AIR RETURN FAN THE CALCULATED MINIMUM SKIMMER SYSTEM FLOW RATE TO LIMIT COMPARTMENT HYDROGEN CONCENTRATION TO BELOW FOUR VOLUME          ,
PERCENT IS 121 CUBIC FEET PER MINUTE (CFM). MEASURED FLOW RATE W!TH FAN 1B OPERATING WAS 281 CFM, AND MEASURED FLOW WITH FAN 1A OPERATING WAS 85 CF :
BASED ON THE FLOW MEASUREMENT RECORDED FOR FAN 1A, THE PRESSURIZER        I
                ;
COMPARTMENT HYDROGEN CONCENTRATION COULD HAVE RLACHED 4.8 VOLUME PERCEN ALTHOUGH 4.8 VOLUME PERCENT EXCEEDS THE CONSERVATION l
DESIGN BASIS LIMIT OF 4.0 VOLUME PERCENT, IT IS VERY UNLIKELY THAT        l HYDROGEN AT 4.8 VOLUME PERCENT WOULD IGNITE AND BURN EVEN IN DRY AIR AND IN THE PRESENCE OF AN IGNITION SOURCE. HOWEVER, IF BURNING        ,
WERE TO OCCUR, ESSENTIAL EQUIPMENT LOCATED IN THE PRESSURIZER i
COMPARTMENT HAS BEEN ANALYZED AND DETERMINED ABLE TO SURVIVE EVEN l
THE BURNING OF HYDROGEN FROM THE 75'$ METAL WATER REACTION OF A          ,
I DEGRADED CORE ACCIDEN THE ANTICIPATED MAXIMUM CONCENTRATION OF 4.8 VOLUME PERCENT IS CLEARLY WELL BELOW DETONABLE LEVELS, AND IS NOT CONSIDERED A DETRIMENT TO MAINTAINING CONTAINMENT INTEGRITY AND TO CONDUCTING A STABLE POST-ACCIDENT RECOVERY.

VALVE INM-26 - A WlRING FAULT IN A NEW ACTUATOR WAS NOT IDENTIFIED BY FUNCTIONAL VERIFICATION WHEN INSTALLED. THIS IS AN EXAMPLE IDENTIFIED IN THE RECENT NRC INSPECTION REPOR APRIL, 1987 -
INPO IDENTIFIED A FINDING IN THE AREA OF FUNCTIONAL VERIFICATION. ALTHOUGH THEY DID NOT FIND SIGNIFICANT EVIDENCE OF FAILURE TO ADEQUATELY PERFORM FUNCTIONAL VERIFICATION, THEY FELT OUR PROGRAM WAS TOO DEPENDENT ON THE INDIVIDUAL JUDGMENT OF THE TECHNICIAN AND SUPERVISION. THEY FELT WE SHOULD STRUCTURE THE PROGRAM AND MAKE IT MORE PRESCRIPTIV DUKE AGREED TO ENHANCE THE PROGRAM BUT AT THAT TIME DID NOT BELIEVE WE HAD INOPERABLE EQUIPMENT IN THE FIEL AUGUST, 1987 - VALVE IND-67 - THE WORK CONTROL SYSTEM HAD INCORRECTLY IDENTIFIED THIS VALVE AS NON-SAFETY RELATED AND ALSO DID NOT SPECIFY A FUNCTIONAL VERiflCATION TO BE DONE FOLLOWING ROUTINE CAllBRATION OF THE INSTRUMENT THAT CONTROLS THE VALVE. A PERSONNEL ERROR OCCURRED IN THE CAllBRATION LEAVING THE VALVE INOPERABL THIS IS AN EXAMPLE IDENTIFIED IN THE RECENT NRC INSPECTION REPOR 's o

SAFETY ANALYSIS, THE FUNCTION OF NS-1,18 IS TO ISOLATE THE A(B) NS PUMP FROM REACTOR BUILDING SUMP LINE A(B). DURING THE INJECTION PHASE OF A LOCA NS-1,18 IS CLOSED AND THE NS PUMP IS TAKING A SUCTION FROM THE FWST VIA NS-20(3). ON A LOW-LOW FWST LEVEL NS PUMP A(B) IS STOPPED AND ITS SUCTION IS REALIGNED BY THE CONTROL ROOM OPERATOR FROM THE FWST TO THE CONTAINMENT SUMP BY CLOSING NS-20(3) AND OPENING NS-18(1)
SINCE NI-185(184) HAS ALREADY OPENED AUTOMATICALL NS PUMP A(B) IS THEN RESTARTE THEREFORE, IN ORDER FOR NS-18(1) TO OPEN, NI-185(184) MUST BE OPEN AND NS-20(3) CLOSE DURING THE ABOVE TIME PERIOD, NS-18(1) COULD NOT HAVE BEEN OPENED FROM THE CONTROL ROOM IF THE NS-20(3) AND NI-185(184) PERMISSIVES HAD BEEN MET DUE TO THE 1AS-3 CONTACT SETUP ERROR IN THE SWITCH PACK ON N1-185(184).

WORK WAS PERFORMED ON THE FLOW INSTRUMENT CONTROLLING ND PUMP 1B RECIRCULATION VALVE IND678, USING A PROCEDURE THAT DID NOT  i IDENTIFY THE COMPONENT AS BEING SAFETY RELATED AND DID NOT REQUIRE FUNCTIONAL VERIFICATION SUBSEQUENT TO MAINTENANCE. HOWEVER, THE  :
ROOT CAUSE OF THE INCIDENT WAS DUE TO A FAILURE TO FOLLOW  l PROCEDURE WHICH LEFT THE INSTRUMENT ISOLATED AND PROPER FUNCTIONAL  !

WHEN A LEAK DEVELOPED, THE NEXT DAY THE ORIGINAL WORK REQUEST WAS REOPENED TO PERFORM THE WOR NO RETEST WAS PERFORMED ON THIS VALV THE ROOT CAUSE FOR THIS INCIDENT WAS PERSONNEL ERRO A CONTRIBUTING CAUSE WAS DUE TO A PROCEDURAL DEFICIENCIES (MMP 1.0 AND 1.3) WHICH ALLOWED A WORK REQUEST TO BE REOPENED ONCE IT HAS BEEN SIGNED COMPLETE. SUBSEQUENT CHANGES TO THE WORK CONTROL SYSTEM HAS ELIMINATED THE USE OF A WORK REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL WORK AFTER RETEST IS COMPLETE AFTER FURTHER REVIEW, THE FOLLOWING ONE EXAMPLE, CITED IN NRC INSPECTION REPORT 369/88-29, INDICATE A PROBLEM WITH THE WORK CONTROL SYSTE THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN ADDRESSED SEPARATELY TO RCDUCE THE POSSIBILITY OF RECURRdNC EXAMPLE 4: "ON MARCH 28, 1988, IT WAS DETERMINED 1RN21 UNDERWENT    i MAINTENANCE WITHOUT A SUBSEQU21T RETEST".
 
A PACKING ADJUSTMENT WAS PERFORMED ON 1RN21 UNDER A WORK REQUES THE WORK REQUEST INCORRECTLY IDENTIFIED THAT A RETEST WAS NOT l REQUIRED AND RN21 IS IDENTIFIED AS A COMPONENT REQUIRING RETEST l PER STATION DIRECTIVES.

P. Stohr NRC, Ri! Acting Deputy Regional

Administrator, DPC gave two presentations (see Enclosure 3) which addressed NRC concerns on the subjects listed above. On the VX system, in addition to covering a system overview, a sequence of events, and causes and contributing factors, DPC addressed specific NRC concerns regarding preoperational testing of the VX system, a decision to enter Mode 4 on Unit 2 with VX flows below that given in the FSAR, and OPCs operability determination process. DPCs

UNIT 1 DURING A UNIT 1 CONTAINMENT CLOSEOUT INSPECTION IN NOVEMBER OF 1987, NRC PERSONNEL NOTICED THAT A HYDROGEN SNIMMER (VX)

SYSTEM DAMPER APPEARED TO BE CLOSED. OPERATIONS PERSONNEL INSPECTED AND VERIFIED THAT EACH VX SYSTEM DAMPER WAS IN ITS CORRECT PRE-OPERATIONAL POSITION WITH THE EXCEPTION OF ONE DAMPER QUESTIONED BY THE NRC INSPECTOR. THE CORRECT POSITION 'dAS VERIFIED BY PAINT SHADOWS ON THE DAMPER ACTUATORS CREATED PRIOR TO UNIT 1 CRITICALIT THE QUESTIONED DAMPER WAS ONLY SLIGHTLY MISPOSITIONED IN THE CLOSED DIRECTIO SINCE THERE WAS NO PROCEDURE TO ASSURE PROPER DAMPER POSITIONS ON THE VX SYSTEM, NRC PERSONNEL WERE CONCERNED ABOUT THE UNIT 2 DAMPER POSITION STATION PERSONNEL AGREED TO DO VX FLOW BALANCE TESTS FOR BOTH UNITS DURING THElR NEXT REFUELING OUTAGE UNIT 2 AT THE END OF THE JULY 1988 REFUELING OUTAGE, PERFORMANCE PERSONNEL TOOK "AS FOUND" FLOW MEASUREMENTS USING A HAND HELD VELOMETER ON BOTH TRAINS OF THE UNIT 2 VX SYSTE SOME VX SYSTEM DAMPER COMPARTMENT FLOWS DID NOT MEET FSAR REQUIREMENTS AND TWO DAMPERS, BOTH SERVING THE REACTOR HEAD AREA, WERE FOUND CLOSED, ALL DAMPERS WERE ADJUSTED IN AN ATTEMPT TO ACHIEVE FLOW RATES LISTED IN THE FSAR.

WO PROBLEMS EVENTUALLY LED TO THIS SITUATION:

(1) THE PREOPERATIONAL TEST PERFORMED ON THE VX SYSTEM WAS INSUFFICIENT TO PROVE OPERABILITY. THE STATION PERSONNEL'S DEGREE OF UNDERSTANDING OF THE SYSTEM AND OUR DEPENDENCE UPON PREVIOUSLY AGREED UPON TESTING COMMITNENTS LED US TO OMIT FLOW BALANCE TESTING OF THIS SYST M FROM THE PREOPERATIONAL TEST FROGRA (2) APPROPRIATE MEASURES WERE NOT TAKEN TO ENSURE THE FLOW BALANCE OF THIS SYST m WAS MAINTAINED EITHER THROUGH PF.RIODIC TESTING OR CONTROL OF DAMPER POSITION CONTRIBUTING FACTOR BY DESIGN, THE VX SYSTEM !!AS A SINGLE HEADER THAT DRAVS AIR FROM EACH OF THE CONTAINMENT COMPARTMENTS BY USE OF REDUNDANT FANS LOCATED ON EITHER END OF THE HEADER. EITHER FAN IS CAPABLE OF DRAWING THE TOTAL DESIGN BASIS FLOWS FROM THE AREAS SERVICE HOWEVER. THE EQUIPMENT CONFIGURATION OF THE SYSTEM IS SUCH THAT BALANCE OF THE INDIVIDUAL COMPARTMENT FSAR FLOW RATES IS UNOBTAINABLE WHEN OPERATING THE FANS INDEPENDENTLY.

ABSTRACT INCLUDED NO PROVISIONS FOR FLOW BALANCING THE SYSTEM AND NO BALANCE WAS PERFORMED. STATION PERSONNEL ASSUMED THAT THE HVAC VENDOR HAD BALANCED THE SYSTEM. THIS WAS THE NORMAL PRACTICE FOR HVAC SYSTEMS. THIS SYSTEM WAS DIFFERENT. THE HVAC VENDOR WAS NOT ASSOCIATED WITH THE SUCTION RING HEADE LATER IN UNIT #1'S PREOPERATIONAL TEST:lNG, THE PROPER POSITIONING OF CERTAIN DAMPERS OF THE VX SYSTEM WAS QUESTIONE IN ORDER TO RESOLVE THESE QUESTIONS PLANT PERSONNEL CONDUCTED A FLOW BALANC THE FLOW BALANCE WAS INADEQUATE AS A RESULT OF BOTH TRAINS BEING OPERATED SIMULTANEOUSLY. THIS FLOW BALANCE WAS DOCUMENTED IN A 3/23/81 MEMORANDUM TO FILE AND WAS NOT PART OF THE PREOPERATIONAL TEST PROGRA IT WAS DONE TO ANSWER SYSTEM OPERABILITI QUESTION IT WAS STILL ASSUMED THE HVAC VENDOR HAD PROPERLY BALANCED THE SYSTE . UNIT 2 AFTER REVIEWING THE UNIT 2 PREOPERATIONAL TESTING FOR THE VX SYSTEM, IT IS DIFFICULT TO DETERMINE EXACTLY WHAT WAS DONE IN REGARDS TO FLOW BALANCING THE SYSTEM. AGAIN HEAVY DEPENDENCE WAS PLACED UPON THE HVAC VENDOR PROPERLY BALANCING THE SYSTEM. WITHOUT FURTHER 'INFORMATION WE CAN ONLY CONCLUDE THE "A" TRAIN WAS BALANCED. HOWEVER, THE RESULTS ARE NOT CONSISTENT WITH CURRENT PERFORMANCE OF THE SYSTEM. THOSE INVOLVED WITH THE UNIT 2 TESTING ARE NO LONGER WITH DUKE POWER COMPANY AND FOR THIS REASON FURTHER INVESTIGATION IS RESTRICTE .

.

.

. 3. INADEQUACY OF THE VX PREOPERATIONAL TEST AT THE TIME OF OUR PREOPERATIONAL TEST PROGRAM, OUR PRIMARY EMPHASIS WAS ON ECCS SYSTEMS. THE TEST PROGRAM FOR BALANCE OF PLANT, SAFETY RELATED SYSTEMS WAS NOT AS CAREFULLY

SCRUTINIZED. THIS WAS TRUE OF THE HVAC SYSTEMS WHERE TWO FACTORS COMBINED TO INHIBIT PROPER TESTING. THE FIRST FACTOR

,

WAS THE CLARITY AND AVAILABILITY OF DESIGN BASIS INFORMATION

ON THESE PARTICULAR SYSTEMS. THE OTHER FACTOR WAS THE DEPENDENCE ON THE HVAC VENDOR FOR SYSTEM START U '

,

i ANOTHER FACTOR LEADING TO THE INADEQUATE PREOPERATIONAL TEST ON THE VX SYSTEM WAS THE FAILURE TO INCLUDE FLOW BALANCE REQUIREMENTS IN CHAPTER 14 0F THE FSAR. DURING THIS TIME

.

) PERIOD CHAPTER 14 0F THE FSAR AND THE TECHNICAL

,

! SPECIFICATIONS WERE USED AS THE PRIMARY SOURCE OF TESTING t

COMMITMENTS. AT THE TIME OUR PREOPERATIONAL TEST PROGRAM WAS CONDUCTED WE DID NOT PROGRAMATICALLY LOOK BEYOND THESE DOCUMENTS FOR OTHER TESTING REQUIREMENTS.

l l 4. CORRECTIVE ACTIONS SPECIFICALLY FOR THE VX SYSTEM:

  • WE WILL MODIFY THE SYSTEM TO ENRANCE OUR ABILITY TO 1 BAIANCE THE SKIMMER FLOWS.

i e WE WILL CONDUCT A TEST TO OPTIMIZE THE FLOW BALANCE I

OF THE VX SYSTEM.

THE DECISION WAS MADE AT THE APPROPRIATE LEVEL OF MANAGEMEN THE SUPERINTENDENT OF OPERATIONS, MAINTENANCE. TECHNICAL SERVICES, AND INTEGRATED SCHEDULING ALL WERE INVOLVED IN THE DECISION. ALSO INVOLVED WERE THE DESIGN ENGINEERING SITE OFFICE MANAGER AND OTHER MANAGEMENT PERSONS FROM THE CORPORATE DESIGN ENGINEERING GROU THE SENIOR RESIDENT INSPECTOR FOR THE NRC WAS MADE AWARE OF THE DECISION AS A COURTES HIS CONCURRENCE WAS NOT SOUGHT OR OBTAINED.

. FACTORS CONSIDERED IN THE DECISION FOLLOWING THE COMMUNICATION OF TEST RESULTS TO THE CORPORATE DESIGN ENGINEERING GROUP. THOSE INVOLVED AND RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DESIGN OF THE VX SYSTEM WERE VERY CONFIDENT THAT THE VX SYSTEM WOULD STILL PERFORM ITS DESIGN FUNCTION IN ITS DEGRADED CONDITION. THESE DESIGN EXPERTS CLEARLY BELIEVED THEY COULD PRESENT A TECHNICALLY CORRECT JUSTIFICATION FOR THE OPERABILITY OF THE VX SYSTEM. AND EXPRESSED THIS CONFIDENCE THROUGHOUT THE EVALUATION PERIO THE FLOW BALANCE TESTING HAD GONE THROUGH SEVERAL UNSUCCESSFUL ITERATIONS. THE ORIGINAL INTENT OF THE TEST HAD BEEN TO BALANCE THE SYSTEM TO FSAR FLOW VALUES. WE HAD DISCOVERED THIS WOULD NOT BE POSSIBLE. THE NEW PURPOSE HAD BECOME TO GATHER ENOUGH DATA TO SUPPORT THE CORPORATE DESIGN ENGINEERING GROUP'S EFFORT TO JUSTIFY THE OPERABILITY OF THE VX SYSTM. ONCE THE DESIGN EXPERTS STATED THEY HAD SUFFICIENT DATA TO SATISTY THIS NEED. FURTHER TESTING WAS UNNECESSARY. THE LETERMINATION THAT SUFFICIENT DATA HAD BEEN GATHERED OCCURRED DURING THE FLOW HOOD MEASURD(ENTS ON UNIT 2

"B" TRAIN. THUS A COMPLETE SET OF "B" TRAIN FLOW HOOD MEASURD(ENTS WAS NOT TAKEN PRIOR TO ENTERING MODE # STATION MANAGD(ENT'S DECISION TO PROCEED TO MODE #4 WAS PRIMARILY BASED OP.4 INPUT FROM EXPERTS FAMILIAR WITH THE VX SYSTEM. THESE EXPERTS CLEARLY BELIEVED THE SYSTEM WOULD PERFORM ITS DESIGN FUNCTION. WITH THIS CONFIDENCE STATION

SAFETY ANALYSIS A) THE SAFETY SYSTEM SIGNAL FOR THE AUTOMATIC CLOSURE OF VALVE 1NV-142B HAD BEEN DEFEATED, HOWEVER:

VALVE INV-142B COULD HAVE BEEN CLOSED LOCALLY AS WELL AS FROM THE CONTROL ROO *

VALVE INV-141A WAS OPERABLE DURING THIS TIME PERIOD AND CAPABLE OF ISOLATING THE VC B) IN THE EVENT OF A SMALL BREAK LOCA DURING THIS TIME PERIOD AND INV-141A WAS INCAPABLE OF BEING CLOSED:

THE VCT WOULD BE DEPLETED AND ITS HYDROGEN BLANKET COULD ENTER THE NV PUMP SUCTION LINE, RENDERING THE PUMPS INOPERABLE IN APPROXIMATELY 18 1/4 MINUTES AFTER SAFETY ACTUATIO *

VALVE INV-142 COULD HAVE BEEN CLOSED LOCALLY IN 15 MINUTE *

THE REACTOR COULD BE SHUTDOWN SAFETY WITH THE CONTROL ROD MAKEUP TO NC SYSTEM WOULL BE PROVIDED BY SI PUMPS WHEN PRESSURE REACHED 1500 PSI *

ELECTRICAL CONTACT FOUND OPEN WHICH BLOCKED OPEN PERMISSIVE t

NECESSARY TO OPEN INS-1,18 WHEN 1NI-184, 185 REACHED FULL OPEN POSITIO ROOT CAUSE POSSIBLE PERSONNEL ERROR IN TORQUE SWITCH BYPASS MODIFICATION ON 1NI-184, 185 DURING 1987 REFUELING OUTAG ,

.

.

.

.

.

SAFETY ANALYSIS, THE FUNCTION OF NS-1,18 IS TO ISOLATE THE A(B) NS PUMP FROM REACTOR BUILDING SUMP LINE A(B). DURING THE INJECTION PHASE OF A LOCA NS-1,18 IS CLOSED AND THE NS PUMP IS TAKING A SUCTION FROM THE FWST VIA NS-20(3). ON A LOW-LOW FWST LEVEL NS PUMP A(B) IS STOPPED AND ITS SUCTION IS REALIGNED BY THE CONTROL ROOM OPERATOR FROM THE FWST TO THE CONTAINMENT SUMP BY CLOSING NS-20(3) AND OPENING NS-18(1)

SINCE NI-185(184) HAS ALREADY OPENED AUTOMATICALL NS PUMP A(B) IS THEN RESTARTE THEREFORE, IN ORDER FOR NS-18(1) TO OPEN, NI-185(184) MUST BE OPEN AND NS-20(3) CLOSE DURING THE ABOVE TIME PERIOD, NS-18(1) COULD NOT HAVE BEEN OPENED FROM THE CONTROL ROOM IF THE NS-20(3) AND NI-185(184) PERMISSIVES HAD BEEN MET DUE TO THE 1AS-3 CONTACT SETUP ERROR IN THE SWITCH PACK ON N1-185(184). NS-18(1) COULD HAVE BEEN MANUALLY OPENED LOCALLY IF N1-185(184) WERE TO OPE THE NORMAL ALIGNMENT OF NS IS WITH NS-20(3) OPEN AND NS-18(1) AND N1-185(184) CLOSE THE US SWAP OVER TO THE CONTAINMENT SUMP FROM THE FWST IS PERFORMED BY CONTROL ROOM OPERATORS USING EMERGENCY PROCEDURE EP/1/A/5000/ THUS, DURING THE ABOVE TIME PERIOD WHEN THE SUBJECT INTERLOCK WAS NOT FUNCTIONAL THE NS-18(1) VALVE REALIGNMENT COULD HAVE BEEN PERFORMED MANUALLY IF REQUIRE ,

WHEN A LEAK DEVELOPED, THE NEXT DAY THE ORIGINAL WORK REQUEST WAS REOPENED TO PERFORM THE WOR NO RETEST WAS PERFORMED ON THIS VALV THE ROOT CAUSE FOR THIS INCIDENT WAS PERSONNEL ERRO A CONTRIBUTING CAUSE WAS DUE TO A PROCEDURAL DEFICIENCIES (MMP 1.0 AND 1.3) WHICH ALLOWED A WORK REQUEST TO BE REOPENED ONCE IT HAS BEEN SIGNED COMPLETE. SUBSEQUENT CHANGES TO THE WORK CONTROL SYSTEM HAS ELIMINATED THE USE OF A WORK REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL WORK AFTER RETEST IS COMPLETE AFTER FURTHER REVIEW, THE FOLLOWING ONE EXAMPLE, CITED IN NRC INSPECTION REPORT 369/88-29, INDICATE A PROBLEM WITH THE WORK CONTROL SYSTE THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN ADDRESSED SEPARATELY TO RCDUCE THE POSSIBILITY OF RECURRdNC EXAMPLE 4: "ON MARCH 28, 1988, IT WAS DETERMINED 1RN21 UNDERWENT i MAINTENANCE WITHOUT A SUBSEQU21T RETEST".
