=SUMMARY OF FINDINGS=
IR 05000325, 324/2014005; October 1, 2014, through December 31, 2014; Duke Energy Progress, Inc., Brunswick Steam Electric Plant, Units 1 and 2, Operability Determinations and
 
Functional Assessments, Surveillance Testing. This report covers a three-month period of inspection by resident inspectors and announced baseline inspections by regional inspectors. There was one NRC-identified and one self-revealing violation documented in this report. The significance of inspection findings are 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" (SDP)dated June 2, 2011. The 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 July 9, 2013. The NRC's program for overseeing the safe operations of commercial nuclear power reactors is described in NUREG-1649, "Reactor Oversight Process," Revision 5, dated February 2014.
 
===Cornerstone: Mitigating Systems===
: '''Green.'''
The NRC-identified a Green non-cited violation (NCV) of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion III, Design Control, for the failure to ensure adequate tornado missile protection for the emergency diesel generator (EDG) 4-day fuel oil tank ventilation piping. Specifically, it was determined that the ventilation piping could be sheared with a design basis tornado missile at the 4-day fuel oil tank building roof level and water intrusion into the EDG fuel oil system would occur during a design basis rain event that would prevent the diesel from performing its required safety function. The licensee documented this issue in their corrective action program (CAP) and performed corrective actions to install concrete blocks around the piping.
 
The inspectors determined that the finding was more than minor in accordance with IMC 0612, "Power Reactor Inspection Reports," Appendix B, "Issue Screening," dated September 7, 2012, because it is associated with the Mitigating Systems Cornerstone attributes of Protection Against External Factors and Equipment Performance, and adversely affected the cornerstone objective to ensure the availability, reliability, and capability of systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences.
 
Specifically, it was determined that the ventilation piping could be sheared with a design basis tornado missile at the 4-day fuel oil tank building roof level and water intrusion into the EDG fuel oil system would occur during a design basis rain event that would prevent the EDG from performing its required safety function. Using IMC 0609, Appendix A, issued June 19, 2012, "The Significance Determination Process (SDP) for Findings At-Power," the inspectors determined the finding screened to a detailed risk evaluation since the EDG1 fuel oil system was assumed to be completely failed due to a tornado, and it would degrade one or more trains of a system that supports a risk significant system or function. The regional Senior Reactor Analyst performed a detailed risk evaluation by using a qualitative screening analysis to determine the significance of the finding. Tornado initiating event frequency was derived from Nation Weather Service data. Because of the low likelihood of a tornado powerful enough to throw an object of sufficient size to damage the piping, the remote chance the thrown object would strike the vent pipe, and because the remaining EDGs would not be impacted in the same way by the tornado, the finding was determined to be
: '''Green.'''
The inspectors did not identify a cross-cutting aspect associated with this finding because the finding is an old design issue that has been in place since original plant construction.  (Section 1R15)
: '''Green.'''
A Green self-revealing NCV of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion V, Instructions, Procedures, and Drawings, was identified for the failure to conduct the number 3 EDG monthly load test in accordance with the prescribed technical specification surveillance test procedure. Specifically, plant personnel performing the load test on EDG3 manually synched the generator out-of-phase to its corresponding emergency bus, causing equipment damage to the collector ring and brushes and the silicon controlled rectifier (SCR) circuitry. The licensee documented the issue in their CAP, completed a prompt investigation, and performed a root cause evaluation. The EDG was immediately repaired and additional corrective actions include:  1) revise all EDG monthly load test procedures with "cautions" to emphasize the importance of synching the generator properly and performing the steps of the procedure as prescribed; and 2) install synch check relays on all manually paralleled generators.
 
The finding was more than minor in accordance with IMC 0612, Appendix B, because it is associated with the Mitigating Systems Cornerstone attribute of Human Performance, and adversely affected the cornerstone objective to ensure the availability, reliability, and capability of systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences. Specifically, plant personnel performing the local load test on EDG3 manually synched the generator out-of-phase to its corresponding emergency bus, resulting in extended EDG3 inoperability and equipment damage to the collector ring, brushes, and the SCR circuitry. Utilizing IMC 0609, Appendix A, Exhibit 1, effective July 1, 2012, the finding screened as Green by answering "no" to the question related to an actual loss of function of one or more non-technical specification trains of equipment designated as high safety-significant in accordance with the licensee's maintenance rule program for >24 hrs. The finding had a cross-cutting aspect in the area of Human Performance related to the aspect of Avoid Complacency, in that individuals failed to recognize and plan for the possibility of mistakes, latent issues, and inherent risk, even while expecting successful outcomes, and implement appropriate error reduction tools. In this event, the operators had an inaccurate risk perception that the evolution of increasing load on the EDG was more critical than synching the generator properly. This was emphasized during the pre-job brief and not identified by the supervisory oversight of the evolution. [H.12]  (Section 1R22)

====b. Findings====
 
=====Introduction.=====
The NRC identified a Green NCV of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion III, Design Control, for failure to ensure adequate tornado missile protection for the EDG 4-day fuel oil tank ventilation piping.
 
=====Description.=====
On May 8, 2014, during a walkdown, the inspectors noted that the EDG 4-day fuel oil tank ventilation piping was not protected from tornado-borne missiles. The inspectors questioned the licensee on the whether this piping needed to be tornado-protected, and if so, could it withstand the design basis tornado and rain event. On August 14, 2014, under WO 13421302, the licensee took corrective actions to place concrete blocks around the ventilation piping. An engineering evaluation was then performed that identified the worst case design basis tornado and rainfall scenario conditions and what effect those would have on EDG operation. It was determined that with the maximum 24-hour rainfall rate and a tornado missile shearing the ventilation piping at the roof level, the worst case scenario was the EDG1 4-day tank filling with water which would be transferred over to the EDG1 saddle tank. The saddle tank would fill to a level high enough to impact EDG operation in less than two hours. Following this evaluation, the licensee completed engineering change (EC) 96860 to install concrete barrier pads around the ventilation piping at the 4-day tank roof level to preclude a tornado missile impact at the most vulnerable part of the piping, and also preclude water accumulation on the roof from entering the EDG 4-day tanks. The inspectors reviewed the engineering evaluation, EC, and interviewed engineering personnel to understand the scenario and the impact to plant operation. The Brunswick Original Final Safety Analysis Report (Appendix F) and Updated Final Safety Analysis Report (UFSAR), Chapter 3, contain the language of the regulatory requirements for the general design criteria listed in 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix A, and how the licensee complies with those criteria. Criterion 2 for protection against natural phenomena states, in part, that structures, systems, and components (SSCs) important to safety shall be designed to withstand the effects of natural phenomena such as earthquakes, tornadoes, hurricanes, floods, tsunami, and seiches without loss of capability to perform their safety functions. The licensee's statement of compliance states, "SSCs important to safety have been designed with appropriate margin for uncertainties, to permit safe plant operation or shutdown even under conditions of the most severe natural phenomena which have been conservatively postulated to occur at the site."  Criterion 4 for missile design bases states, in part, that SSCs important to safety shall be appropriately protected against dynamic effects, including the effects of missiles, which may result from events and conditions outside the nuclear power unit.
 
The licensee's statement of compliance states, "SSCs important to safety have been designed with full consideration of the combined effects of the normal and postulated accident environment, including the effects of pipe whipping or other dynamic effects resulting from the accidents."  Section 3.5.1.4 of the UFSAR contains the specific analysis of four potential tornado-borne missiles and the effects on the plant. The impact of one of these missiles, shearing the EDG 4-day fuel oil tank ventilation line, along with water intrusion into the system from the design basis rainfall event, would prevent the EDG (an SSC important to safety) from performing its required safety function of providing a reliable source of AC power to the engineered safety features for safe shutdown of the plant or during design basis accidents.
 
=====Analysis.=====
The inspectors determined the failure to ensure adequate tornado missile protection for the EDG 4-day fuel oil tank ventilation piping was a performance deficiency that warranted a significance determination. The inspectors determined that the finding was more than minor in accordance with IMC 0612, "Power Reactor Inspection Reports," Appendix B, "Issue Screening," dated September 7, 2012, because it is associated with the Mitigating Systems Cornerstone attributes of Protection Against External Factors and Equipment Performance, and adversely affected the cornerstone objective to ensure the availability, reliability, and capability of systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences. Specifically, it was determined that the ventilation piping could be sheared with a design basis tornado missile at the 4-day fuel oil tank building roof level and water intrusion into the EDG fuel oil system would occur during a design basis rain event that would prevent the EDG from performing its required safety function. Using IMC 0609, Appendix A, issued June 19, 2012, The Significance Determination Process (SDP) for Findings At-Power, the inspectors determined the finding screened to a detailed risk evaluation since the EDG1 fuel oil system was assumed to be completely failed due to a tornado, and it would degrade one or more trains of a system that supports a risk significant system or function. The regional Senior Reactor Analyst performed a detailed risk evaluation by using a qualitative screening analysis to determine the significance of the finding.
 
Tornado initiating event frequency was derived from Nation Weather Service data.
 
Because of the low likelihood of a tornado powerful enough to throw an object of sufficient size to damage the piping, the remote chance the thrown object would strike the vent pipe, and because the remaining EDGs would not be impacted in the same way by the tornado, the finding was determined to be Green. The inspectors did not identify a cross-cutting aspect associated with this finding because the finding is an old design issue that has been in place since original plant construction.
 
=====Enforcement:=====
Title 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion III, "Design Control," requires, in part, that measures be established to assure that applicable regulatory requirements and the design basis, as defined in Part 50.2 and as specified in the license application, for those structures, systems, and components to which this appendix applies, are correctly translated into specifications, drawings, procedures, and instructions.
 
Contrary to the above, since the initial construction of both units, until August 14, 2014, the licensee failed to translate the appropriate tornado missile protection requirements into the design of the EDG 4-day fuel oil tank ventilation piping. The licensee performed corrective actions to install concrete blocks around the tank ventilation piping. This violation is being treated as an NCV, consistent with Section 2.3.2.a of the Enforcement Policy. The violation was entered into the licensee's CAP as CR 686589.  (NCV 05000324; 325/2014005-01, Failure to Protect Emergency Diesel Generator 4-Day Fuel Oil Tank Ventilation Piping from Tornado Missiles)

==1R18 Plant Modifications==
{{IP sample|IP=IP 71111.18|count=1}}
 
====a. Inspection Scope====
The inspectors verified that the plant modification listed below did not affect the safety functions of important safety systems. The inspectors confirmed the modification did not degrade the design bases, licensing bases, and performance capability of risk significant structures, systems and components. The inspectors also verified modification performed during plant configurations involving increased risk did not place the plant in an unsafe condition. Additionally, the inspectors evaluated whether system operability and availability, configuration control, post-installation test activities, and changes to documents, such as drawings, procedures, and operator training materials, complied with licensee standards and NRC requirements. In addition, the inspectors reviewed a sample of related corrective action documents to verify the licensee was identifying and correcting any deficiencies associated with the modification. Documents reviewed are listed in the attachment.

=====Introduction:=====
A Green self-revealing NCV of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion V, Instructions, Procedures, and Drawings, was identified for the failure to conduct the EDG3 monthly load test in accordance with the prescribed technical specification surveillance test procedure. This resulted in EDG3 being manually synched out-of-phase to its corresponding emergency bus.
 
=====Description:=====
On November 9, 2014, the EDG3 monthly load test was being performed using technical specification surveillance procedure, 0PT-12.2C, in which the diesel generator would be started, synched, and loaded locally at the control panel in the diesel room. The non-licensed operator (NLO1) who was manipulating the controls was qualifying for the task under a task performance evaluation (TPE) which was being administered by a long-time qualified non-licensed operator (NLO2) and overseen in the field by an experienced senior reactor operator (SRO). Once EDG3 was started and all appropriate parameters were established, the SRO went to verify personnel were clear of the switchgear room prior to the operators closing the EDG output breaker. After receiving the all-clear, NLO1 and NLO2 proceeded with the procedure without the SRO having returned from the switchgear room. To synch the generator, NLO1 had one hand on the output breaker switch and one hand on the governor control switch, to raise load after the breaker had closed. NLO1 watched the synchroscope until it was at approximately the 9 o'clock position then looked up at the Output Kilowatt Meter to watch for increasing the load. NLO2 watched the synchroscope until the 11 o'clock position then focused on the hand manipulations of the trainee. NLO1 attempted to close the output breaker when the synchroscope was believed to be at the 12 o'clock position. Immediately there was a loud bang in the room, vibrations felt by the operators from EDG3, and several alarms were received in the control room and locally on the control panel. NLO2 took control of the switches and shut down EDG3 using the Emergency Stop pushbutton.
 
The steps of synching and loading the EDG were considered "critical steps" in accordance with procedure 0PT-12.2C. A pre-job brief was held earlier that day where defense mechanisms and human performance tools that could be used as barriers to prevent an incident were discussed, such as a dry run of the synch in the field before performing the steps and use of flagging to verify the proper switches were being manipulated. Through interviews after the event, NLO1 indicated knowledge of the importance of synching the generator in-phase but also stated that there was a large emphasis during preparation for the activity of quickly increasing the load on the generator to prevent a reverse power condition. Section 7.3 of 0PT-12.2C contains a caution statement before performing these steps that states, "if load is not raised immediately after closing the generator breaker, the EDG may trip on reverse power,"
and a note in this section states to perform these steps without delay. However, the procedure directs the steps in this section to be performed in sequence. The steps clearly direct verification of the closing of the EDG onto its emergency bus before proceeding with increasing load on the engine.
 
The licensee performed an equipment failure investigation immediately following the shutdown of EDG3 and identified some pitting on the collector ring of the EDG, a failed SCR, and a faulted SCR exciter circuit diode. All of these items were repaired/replaced and were all identified to be results of the out-of-synch evolution, not causes. The licensee completed a prompt investigation and a root cause evaluation of the event.
 
Several opportunities for improvement were identified in the areas of operator fundamentals (performing two-handed evolutions), performance of the pre-job brief (appropriate emphasis on the risk-significance of all critical steps in the task and review of applicable OE), training of non-licensed operators and the execution of TPEs, and supervisory oversight of higher risk evolutions.
 
=====Analysis:=====
The inspectors determined that the failure to conduct the EDG3 monthly load test in accordance with the prescribed technical specification surveillance test procedure was a performance deficiency. The inspectors determined that the finding was more than minor in accordance with IMC 0612 "Power Reactor Inspection Reports,"
Appendix B, "Issue Screening," dated September 7, 2012, because it is associated with the Mitigating Systems Cornerstone attribute of Human Performance, and adversely affected the cornerstone objective to ensure the availability, reliability, and capability of systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences.
 
Specifically, plant personnel performing the local load test on EDG3 manually synched the generator out-of-phase to its corresponding emergency bus, resulting in extended EDG3 inoperability and equipment damage to the collector ring, brushes, and the SCR circuitry. Utilizing IMC 0609, Appendix A, Exhibit 1, effective July 1, 2012, the finding screened as Green by answering "no" to the Mitigating SSC's and Functionality question related to an actual loss of function of one or more non-technical specification trains of equipment designated as high safety-significant in accordance with the licensee's maintenance rule program for >24 hrs.
 
The finding had a cross-cutting aspect in the area of Human Performance related to the aspect of Avoid Complacency, in that individuals recognize and plan for the possibility of mistakes, latent issues, and inherent risk, even while expecting successful outcomes, and individuals implement appropriate error reduction tools [H.12]. In this event, the operators had an inaccurate risk perception that the evolution of increasing load on the EDG was more critical than synching the generator properly. This was emphasized during the pre-job brief and not identified by the supervisory oversight of the evolution.
 
=====Enforcement:=====
Title 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion V, Instructions, Procedures, and Drawings, requires, in part, that activities affecting quality shall be accomplished in accordance with instructions, procedures, or drawings appropriate to the circumstances. Contrary to this, on November 9, 2014, the licensee did not conduct the EDG3 monthly load test in accordance with the prescribed technical specification surveillance test procedure, 0PT-12.2C. The corrective actions for this issue are to 1) revise all EDG monthly load test procedures with "cautions" to emphasize the importance of synching the generator properly and performing the steps of the procedure as prescribed; 2) revise operator training lesson plans for performing EDG synching evolutions, as well as guidance on when and how to perform two-handed evolutions; 3) install synch check relays on all manually paralleled generators; and 4) ensure roles and responsibilities are well understood for TPE evaluators and oversight. This violation is being treated as an NCV, consistent with section 2.3.2.a of the Enforcement Policy. The licensee documented this issue in condition report CR 717634.  (NCV 05000324/2014005-02, Failure to Follow Emergency Diesel Generator No. 3 Monthly Load Test Surveillance Procedure)

===.1 Routine Review===
The inspectors screened items entered into the licensee's CAP in order to identify repetitive equipment failures or specific human performance issues for followup. The inspectors reviewed condition reports, attended screening meetings, or accessed the licensee's computerized corrective action database.
 
===.2 Semi-Annual Trend Review===
 
====a. Inspection Scope====
The inspectors reviewed issues entered in the licensee's CAP and associated documents to identify trends that could indicate the existence of a more significant safety issue. The inspectors focused their review on a trend for secondary containment integrity program, but also considered the results of inspector daily condition report screenings, licensee trending efforts, and licensee human performance results. The review nominally considered the 6-month period of July 2014 to December 2014 although some examples extended beyond those dates when the scope of the trend warranted. The inspectors compared their results with the licensee's analysis of trends.
 
Additionally, the inspectors reviewed the adequacy of corrective actions associated with a sample of the issues identified in the licensee's trend reports. The inspectors also reviewed corrective action documents that were processed by the licensee to identify potential adverse trends in the condition of structures, systems, and/or components as evidenced by acceptance of long-standing non-conforming or degraded conditions. Documents reviewed are listed in the attachment.

===.1 (Closed) Event Notification (EN) 50459, Loss of Emergency Preparedness Sirens===
 
====a. Inspection Scope====
For the plant event listed below, the inspectors reviewed plant parameters, reviewed personnel performance, and evaluated performance of mitigating systems. The inspectors communicated the plant events to appropriate regional NRC personnel, and compared the event details with criteria contained in IMC 0309, issued October 28, 2011, "Reactive Inspection Decision Basis for Reactors," for consideration of potential reactive inspection activities. As applicable, the inspectors verified that the licensee made appropriate emergency classification assessments and properly reported the event in accordance with 10 CFR 50.72. The inspectors reviewed the licensee's follow-up actions related to the events to assure that the licensee implemented appropriate corrective actions commensurate with their safety significance. This constitutes one sample. Documents reviewed are listed in the attachment.
* On September 15, 2014, it was determined that the ability to activate the 38 emergency sirens within the 10-mile emergency planning zone (EPZ) was lost. The activation capability was restored within two hours when a loose cable was discovered and replaced.
 
The event did not result in any adverse impact since the county back-up routing was available to notify the public. The licensee wrote CR 708969 to address this event.

====a. Inspection Scope====
On April 20, 2014, the licensee identified pooled water on the floor on the 80-foot elevation of the Unit 2 reactor building. Upon further investigation, a through-wall leak in the Unit 2 reactor building 8-inch roof drain pipe was identified. The leak size was estimated to exceed the maximum allowable margin of the secondary containment pressure boundary, which resulted in secondary containment being considered inoperable per technical specifications. On April 20, 2014, the NRC was notified of the event per Event Notification 50046. On June 19, 2014, the licensee submitted LER 2-2014-002 for a condition prohibited by the plant's technical specifications and that could have prevented fulfillment of the safety function of secondary containment to control the release of radioactive material to the public. On November 17, 2014, an engineering evaluation was completed which performed a more detailed characterization of the affected section of the Unit 2 reactor building roof drain piping. It was determined the leakage area did not exceed the allowable leakage margin and, therefore, secondary containment was still operable and capable of fulfilling its safety function. As a result, LER 2-2014-002 was cancelled on December 4, 2014. The inspectors reviewed the engineering evaluation and did not identify any issues with the retraction of the LER.
 
The licensee's immediate corrective action was to install a patch to seal the leak and is planning to replace the Unit 1 and Unit 2 reactor building roof drain piping in future refueling outages. The licensee entered this issue into the CAP as CR 690674.

===.1 (Closed) URI 05000324; 325/2014004-02, Tornado Protection of the Emergency Diesel Fuel Oil Tank Vent Lines===
 
====a. Inspection Scope====
The inspectors completed a review of URI 05000324; 325/2014004-02, Tornado Protection of the Emergency Diesel Fuel Oil Tank Vent Lines. On May 8, 2014, during a walkdown, the inspectors noted that the EDG 4-day fuel oil tank vent lines were not protected from tornado-borne missiles. The inspectors questioned the licensee on the whether these vents needed to be tornado-protected, and if so, could they withstand the design basis tornado and rain event. On August 14, 2014, the licensee took corrective actions to place concrete blocks around the vent lines. An engineering evaluation was then performed that identified the worst case design basis tornado and rainfall scenario conditions and what effect those would have on EDG operation. It was determined that with the maximum 24-hour rainfall rate and a tornado missile shearing the ventilation piping at the roof level, the worst case scenario was EDG1 4-day tank filling with water which would be transferred over to the EDG saddle tank. The saddle tank would fill to a level high enough to impact EDG operation in less than two hours. The licensee completed EC 96860 to install concrete barrier pads around the ventilation piping at the 4-day tank roof level to preclude a tornado missile impact at the most vulnerable part of the piping, and also preclude water accumulation on the roof from entering the EDG 4-day tanks. The inspectors reviewed the engineering evaluation, EC, and interviewed engineering personnel to understand the scenario and the impact to plant operation.

SUMMARY OF FINDINGS

IR 05000325, 324/2014005; October 1, 2014, through December 31, 2014; Duke Energy Progress, Inc., Brunswick Steam Electric Plant, Units 1 and 2, Operability Determinations and

Functional Assessments, Surveillance Testing. This report covers a three-month period of inspection by resident inspectors and announced baseline inspections by regional inspectors. There was one NRC-identified and one self-revealing violation documented in this report. The significance of inspection findings are 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" (SDP)dated June 2, 2011. The 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 July 9, 2013. The NRC's program for overseeing the safe operations of commercial nuclear power reactors is described in NUREG-1649, "Reactor Oversight Process," Revision 5, dated February 2014.

Cornerstone: Mitigating Systems

Green.

The NRC-identified a Green non-cited violation (NCV) of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion III, Design Control, for the failure to ensure adequate tornado missile protection for the emergency diesel generator (EDG) 4-day fuel oil tank ventilation piping. Specifically, it was determined that the ventilation piping could be sheared with a design basis tornado missile at the 4-day fuel oil tank building roof level and water intrusion into the EDG fuel oil system would occur during a design basis rain event that would prevent the diesel from performing its required safety function. The licensee documented this issue in their corrective action program (CAP) and performed corrective actions to install concrete blocks around the piping.

The inspectors determined that the finding was more than minor in accordance with IMC 0612, "Power Reactor Inspection Reports," Appendix B, "Issue Screening," dated September 7, 2012, because it is associated with the Mitigating Systems Cornerstone attributes of Protection Against External Factors and Equipment Performance, and adversely affected the cornerstone objective to ensure the availability, reliability, and capability of systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences.

Specifically, it was determined that the ventilation piping could be sheared with a design basis tornado missile at the 4-day fuel oil tank building roof level and water intrusion into the EDG fuel oil system would occur during a design basis rain event that would prevent the EDG from performing its required safety function. Using IMC 0609, Appendix A, issued June 19, 2012, "The Significance Determination Process (SDP) for Findings At-Power," the inspectors determined the finding screened to a detailed risk evaluation since the EDG1 fuel oil system was assumed to be completely failed due to a tornado, and it would degrade one or more trains of a system that supports a risk significant system or function. The regional Senior Reactor Analyst performed a detailed risk evaluation by using a qualitative screening analysis to determine the significance of the finding. Tornado initiating event frequency was derived from Nation Weather Service data. Because of the low likelihood of a tornado powerful enough to throw an object of sufficient size to damage the piping, the remote chance the thrown object would strike the vent pipe, and because the remaining EDGs would not be impacted in the same way by the tornado, the finding was determined to be

Green.

The inspectors did not identify a cross-cutting aspect associated with this finding because the finding is an old design issue that has been in place since original plant construction. (Section 1R15)

Green.

A Green self-revealing NCV of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion V, Instructions, Procedures, and Drawings, was identified for the failure to conduct the number 3 EDG monthly load test in accordance with the prescribed technical specification surveillance test procedure. Specifically, plant personnel performing the load test on EDG3 manually synched the generator out-of-phase to its corresponding emergency bus, causing equipment damage to the collector ring and brushes and the silicon controlled rectifier (SCR) circuitry. The licensee documented the issue in their CAP, completed a prompt investigation, and performed a root cause evaluation. The EDG was immediately repaired and additional corrective actions include: 1) revise all EDG monthly load test procedures with "cautions" to emphasize the importance of synching the generator properly and performing the steps of the procedure as prescribed; and 2) install synch check relays on all manually paralleled generators.

The finding was more than minor in accordance with IMC 0612, Appendix B, because it is associated with the Mitigating Systems Cornerstone attribute of Human Performance, and adversely affected the cornerstone objective to ensure the availability, reliability, and capability of systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences. Specifically, plant personnel performing the local load test on EDG3 manually synched the generator out-of-phase to its corresponding emergency bus, resulting in extended EDG3 inoperability and equipment damage to the collector ring, brushes, and the SCR circuitry. Utilizing IMC 0609, Appendix A, Exhibit 1, effective July 1, 2012, the finding screened as Green by answering "no" to the question related to an actual loss of function of one or more non-technical specification trains of equipment designated as high safety-significant in accordance with the licensee's maintenance rule program for >24 hrs. The finding had a cross-cutting aspect in the area of Human Performance related to the aspect of Avoid Complacency, in that individuals failed to recognize and plan for the possibility of mistakes, latent issues, and inherent risk, even while expecting successful outcomes, and implement appropriate error reduction tools. In this event, the operators had an inaccurate risk perception that the evolution of increasing load on the EDG was more critical than synching the generator properly. This was emphasized during the pre-job brief and not identified by the supervisory oversight of the evolution. [H.12] (Section 1R22)

1R15 Operability Determinations and Functionality Assessments

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors selected the three operability determinations or functionality evaluations listed below for review based on the risk-significance of the associated components and systems. The inspectors reviewed the technical adequacy of the determinations to ensure that technical specification operability was properly justified and the components or systems remained capable of performing their design functions. To verify whether components or systems were operable, the inspectors compared the operability and design criteria in the appropriate sections of the technical specification and updated final safety analysis report to the licensee's evaluations. Where compensatory measures were required to maintain operability, the inspectors determined whether the measures in place would function as intended and were properly controlled. Additionally, the inspectors reviewed a sample of corrective action documents to verify the licensee was identifying and correcting any deficiencies associated with operability evaluations.

Documents reviewed are listed in the attachment.

  • EDG 4-day fuel oil tank ventilation piping not protected against tornado missiles, CR 686589; and

b. Findings

Introduction.

The NRC identified a Green NCV of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion III, Design Control, for failure to ensure adequate tornado missile protection for the EDG 4-day fuel oil tank ventilation piping.

Description.

On May 8, 2014, during a walkdown, the inspectors noted that the EDG 4-day fuel oil tank ventilation piping was not protected from tornado-borne missiles. The inspectors questioned the licensee on the whether this piping needed to be tornado-protected, and if so, could it withstand the design basis tornado and rain event. On August 14, 2014, under WO 13421302, the licensee took corrective actions to place concrete blocks around the ventilation piping. An engineering evaluation was then performed that identified the worst case design basis tornado and rainfall scenario conditions and what effect those would have on EDG operation. It was determined that with the maximum 24-hour rainfall rate and a tornado missile shearing the ventilation piping at the roof level, the worst case scenario was the EDG1 4-day tank filling with water which would be transferred over to the EDG1 saddle tank. The saddle tank would fill to a level high enough to impact EDG operation in less than two hours. Following this evaluation, the licensee completed engineering change (EC) 96860 to install concrete barrier pads around the ventilation piping at the 4-day tank roof level to preclude a tornado missile impact at the most vulnerable part of the piping, and also preclude water accumulation on the roof from entering the EDG 4-day tanks. The inspectors reviewed the engineering evaluation, EC, and interviewed engineering personnel to understand the scenario and the impact to plant operation. The Brunswick Original Final Safety Analysis Report (Appendix F) and Updated Final Safety Analysis Report (UFSAR), Chapter 3, contain the language of the regulatory requirements for the general design criteria listed in 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix A, and how the licensee complies with those criteria. Criterion 2 for protection against natural phenomena states, in part, that structures, systems, and components (SSCs) important to safety shall be designed to withstand the effects of natural phenomena such as earthquakes, tornadoes, hurricanes, floods, tsunami, and seiches without loss of capability to perform their safety functions. The licensee's statement of compliance states, "SSCs important to safety have been designed with appropriate margin for uncertainties, to permit safe plant operation or shutdown even under conditions of the most severe natural phenomena which have been conservatively postulated to occur at the site." Criterion 4 for missile design bases states, in part, that SSCs important to safety shall be appropriately protected against dynamic effects, including the effects of missiles, which may result from events and conditions outside the nuclear power unit.

The licensee's statement of compliance states, "SSCs important to safety have been designed with full consideration of the combined effects of the normal and postulated accident environment, including the effects of pipe whipping or other dynamic effects resulting from the accidents." Section 3.5.1.4 of the UFSAR contains the specific analysis of four potential tornado-borne missiles and the effects on the plant. The impact of one of these missiles, shearing the EDG 4-day fuel oil tank ventilation line, along with water intrusion into the system from the design basis rainfall event, would prevent the EDG (an SSC important to safety) from performing its required safety function of providing a reliable source of AC power to the engineered safety features for safe shutdown of the plant or during design basis accidents.

Analysis.

The inspectors determined the failure to ensure adequate tornado missile protection for the EDG 4-day fuel oil tank ventilation piping was a performance deficiency that warranted a significance determination. The inspectors determined that the finding was more than minor in accordance with IMC 0612, "Power Reactor Inspection Reports," Appendix B, "Issue Screening," dated September 7, 2012, because it is associated with the Mitigating Systems Cornerstone attributes of Protection Against External Factors and Equipment Performance, and adversely affected the cornerstone objective to ensure the availability, reliability, and capability of systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences. Specifically, it was determined that the ventilation piping could be sheared with a design basis tornado missile at the 4-day fuel oil tank building roof level and water intrusion into the EDG fuel oil system would occur during a design basis rain event that would prevent the EDG from performing its required safety function. Using IMC 0609, Appendix A, issued June 19, 2012, The Significance Determination Process (SDP) for Findings At-Power, the inspectors determined the finding screened to a detailed risk evaluation since the EDG1 fuel oil system was assumed to be completely failed due to a tornado, and it would degrade one or more trains of a system that supports a risk significant system or function. The regional Senior Reactor Analyst performed a detailed risk evaluation by using a qualitative screening analysis to determine the significance of the finding.

Tornado initiating event frequency was derived from Nation Weather Service data.

Because of the low likelihood of a tornado powerful enough to throw an object of sufficient size to damage the piping, the remote chance the thrown object would strike the vent pipe, and because the remaining EDGs would not be impacted in the same way by the tornado, the finding was determined to be Green. The inspectors did not identify a cross-cutting aspect associated with this finding because the finding is an old design issue that has been in place since original plant construction.

Enforcement:

Title 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion III, "Design Control," requires, in part, that measures be established to assure that applicable regulatory requirements and the design basis, as defined in Part 50.2 and as specified in the license application, for those structures, systems, and components to which this appendix applies, are correctly translated into specifications, drawings, procedures, and instructions.

Contrary to the above, since the initial construction of both units, until August 14, 2014, the licensee failed to translate the appropriate tornado missile protection requirements into the design of the EDG 4-day fuel oil tank ventilation piping. The licensee performed corrective actions to install concrete blocks around the tank ventilation piping. This violation is being treated as an NCV, consistent with Section 2.3.2.a of the Enforcement Policy. The violation was entered into the licensee's CAP as CR 686589. (NCV 05000324; 325/2014005-01, Failure to Protect Emergency Diesel Generator 4-Day Fuel Oil Tank Ventilation Piping from Tornado Missiles)

1R18 Plant Modifications

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors verified that the plant modification listed below did not affect the safety functions of important safety systems. The inspectors confirmed the modification did not degrade the design bases, licensing bases, and performance capability of risk significant structures, systems and components. The inspectors also verified modification performed during plant configurations involving increased risk did not place the plant in an unsafe condition. Additionally, the inspectors evaluated whether system operability and availability, configuration control, post-installation test activities, and changes to documents, such as drawings, procedures, and operator training materials, complied with licensee standards and NRC requirements. In addition, the inspectors reviewed a sample of related corrective action documents to verify the licensee was identifying and correcting any deficiencies associated with the modification. Documents reviewed are listed in the attachment.

  • Addition of supplemental diesel generator to lengthen the time of the EDG Limiting Condition for Operation (LCO) including mechanical and electrical connections, and acceptance testing (EC 79694).

The inspectors evaluated the test activities to assess for preconditioning of equipment, procedure adherence, and equipment alignment following completion of the surveillance. Additionally, the inspectors reviewed a sample of related corrective action documents to verify the licensee was identifying and correcting any deficiencies associated with surveillance testing. Documents reviewed are listed in the attachment. Routine Surveillance Tests

  • 0PT-12.2C, DG3 Monthly Load Test;

b. Findings

Introduction:

A Green self-revealing NCV of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion V, Instructions, Procedures, and Drawings, was identified for the failure to conduct the EDG3 monthly load test in accordance with the prescribed technical specification surveillance test procedure. This resulted in EDG3 being manually synched out-of-phase to its corresponding emergency bus.

Description:

On November 9, 2014, the EDG3 monthly load test was being performed using technical specification surveillance procedure, 0PT-12.2C, in which the diesel generator would be started, synched, and loaded locally at the control panel in the diesel room. The non-licensed operator (NLO1) who was manipulating the controls was qualifying for the task under a task performance evaluation (TPE) which was being administered by a long-time qualified non-licensed operator (NLO2) and overseen in the field by an experienced senior reactor operator (SRO). Once EDG3 was started and all appropriate parameters were established, the SRO went to verify personnel were clear of the switchgear room prior to the operators closing the EDG output breaker. After receiving the all-clear, NLO1 and NLO2 proceeded with the procedure without the SRO having returned from the switchgear room. To synch the generator, NLO1 had one hand on the output breaker switch and one hand on the governor control switch, to raise load after the breaker had closed. NLO1 watched the synchroscope until it was at approximately the 9 o'clock position then looked up at the Output Kilowatt Meter to watch for increasing the load. NLO2 watched the synchroscope until the 11 o'clock position then focused on the hand manipulations of the trainee. NLO1 attempted to close the output breaker when the synchroscope was believed to be at the 12 o'clock position. Immediately there was a loud bang in the room, vibrations felt by the operators from EDG3, and several alarms were received in the control room and locally on the control panel. NLO2 took control of the switches and shut down EDG3 using the Emergency Stop pushbutton.

The steps of synching and loading the EDG were considered "critical steps" in accordance with procedure 0PT-12.2C. A pre-job brief was held earlier that day where defense mechanisms and human performance tools that could be used as barriers to prevent an incident were discussed, such as a dry run of the synch in the field before performing the steps and use of flagging to verify the proper switches were being manipulated. Through interviews after the event, NLO1 indicated knowledge of the importance of synching the generator in-phase but also stated that there was a large emphasis during preparation for the activity of quickly increasing the load on the generator to prevent a reverse power condition. Section 7.3 of 0PT-12.2C contains a caution statement before performing these steps that states, "if load is not raised immediately after closing the generator breaker, the EDG may trip on reverse power,"

and a note in this section states to perform these steps without delay. However, the procedure directs the steps in this section to be performed in sequence. The steps clearly direct verification of the closing of the EDG onto its emergency bus before proceeding with increasing load on the engine.

The licensee performed an equipment failure investigation immediately following the shutdown of EDG3 and identified some pitting on the collector ring of the EDG, a failed SCR, and a faulted SCR exciter circuit diode. All of these items were repaired/replaced and were all identified to be results of the out-of-synch evolution, not causes. The licensee completed a prompt investigation and a root cause evaluation of the event.

Several opportunities for improvement were identified in the areas of operator fundamentals (performing two-handed evolutions), performance of the pre-job brief (appropriate emphasis on the risk-significance of all critical steps in the task and review of applicable OE), training of non-licensed operators and the execution of TPEs, and supervisory oversight of higher risk evolutions.

Analysis:

The inspectors determined that the failure to conduct the EDG3 monthly load test in accordance with the prescribed technical specification surveillance test procedure was a performance deficiency. The inspectors determined that the finding was more than minor in accordance with IMC 0612 "Power Reactor Inspection Reports,"

Appendix B, "Issue Screening," dated September 7, 2012, because it is associated with the Mitigating Systems Cornerstone attribute of Human Performance, and adversely affected the cornerstone objective to ensure the availability, reliability, and capability of systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences.

Specifically, plant personnel performing the local load test on EDG3 manually synched the generator out-of-phase to its corresponding emergency bus, resulting in extended EDG3 inoperability and equipment damage to the collector ring, brushes, and the SCR circuitry. Utilizing IMC 0609, Appendix A, Exhibit 1, effective July 1, 2012, the finding screened as Green by answering "no" to the Mitigating SSC's and Functionality question related to an actual loss of function of one or more non-technical specification trains of equipment designated as high safety-significant in accordance with the licensee's maintenance rule program for >24 hrs.

The finding had a cross-cutting aspect in the area of Human Performance related to the aspect of Avoid Complacency, in that individuals recognize and plan for the possibility of mistakes, latent issues, and inherent risk, even while expecting successful outcomes, and individuals implement appropriate error reduction tools [H.12]. In this event, the operators had an inaccurate risk perception that the evolution of increasing load on the EDG was more critical than synching the generator properly. This was emphasized during the pre-job brief and not identified by the supervisory oversight of the evolution.

Enforcement:

Title 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion V, Instructions, Procedures, and Drawings, requires, in part, that activities affecting quality shall be accomplished in accordance with instructions, procedures, or drawings appropriate to the circumstances. Contrary to this, on November 9, 2014, the licensee did not conduct the EDG3 monthly load test in accordance with the prescribed technical specification surveillance test procedure, 0PT-12.2C. The corrective actions for this issue are to 1) revise all EDG monthly load test procedures with "cautions" to emphasize the importance of synching the generator properly and performing the steps of the procedure as prescribed; 2) revise operator training lesson plans for performing EDG synching evolutions, as well as guidance on when and how to perform two-handed evolutions; 3) install synch check relays on all manually paralleled generators; and 4) ensure roles and responsibilities are well understood for TPE evaluators and oversight. This violation is being treated as an NCV, consistent with section 2.3.2.a of the Enforcement Policy. The licensee documented this issue in condition report CR 717634.

4OA2 Problem Identification and Resolution

.1 Routine Review

The inspectors screened items entered into the licensee's CAP in order to identify repetitive equipment failures or specific human performance issues for followup. The inspectors reviewed condition reports, attended screening meetings, or accessed the licensee's computerized corrective action database.

.2 Semi-Annual Trend Review

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors reviewed issues entered in the licensee's CAP and associated documents to identify trends that could indicate the existence of a more significant safety issue. The inspectors focused their review on a trend for secondary containment integrity program, but also considered the results of inspector daily condition report screenings, licensee trending efforts, and licensee human performance results. The review nominally considered the 6-month period of July 2014 to December 2014 although some examples extended beyond those dates when the scope of the trend warranted. The inspectors compared their results with the licensee's analysis of trends.

Additionally, the inspectors reviewed the adequacy of corrective actions associated with a sample of the issues identified in the licensee's trend reports. The inspectors also reviewed corrective action documents that were processed by the licensee to identify potential adverse trends in the condition of structures, systems, and/or components as evidenced by acceptance of long-standing non-conforming or degraded conditions. Documents reviewed are listed in the attachment.

b. Findings and Observations

No findings were identified.

.3 Annual Followup of Selected Issues

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors performed a review regarding the licensee's assessments and corrective actions for CR 690721 and Reply to Notice of Violation, EA-14-048, involving the failure of the licensee to promptly identify and correct conditions adverse to quality associated with flood protection of multiple safety-related buildings, as documented in BSEP 14-0075. The inspectors performed the review to ensure that the full extent of the issue was identified, an appropriate evaluation was performed, and appropriate corrective actions were specified and prioritized. The inspectors also evaluated the CR against the requirements of the licensee's CAP as specified in procedures, CAP-NGGC-0200, Condition Identification and Screening Process; CAP-NGGC-0205, Condition Evaluation and Corrective Action Process; CAP-NGGC-0206, Performance Assessment and Trending; and 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B. Documents reviewed are listed in the attachment.

b. Findings and Observations

  • A review and update, as necessary, of the Brunswick design basis for high winds;
  • An effectiveness review performed for the apparent cause evaluation documented in AR 690721, "Apparent Cause for Notice of Violation, EA-14-048"; and
  • An effectiveness review performed for the root cause evaluation documented in AR 490292, "4 Day Fuel Oil Tank Enclosure Degradation."

4OA3 Follow-up of Events

.1 (Closed) Event Notification (EN) 50459, Loss of Emergency Preparedness Sirens

a. Inspection Scope

For the plant event listed below, the inspectors reviewed plant parameters, reviewed personnel performance, and evaluated performance of mitigating systems. The inspectors communicated the plant events to appropriate regional NRC personnel, and compared the event details with criteria contained in IMC 0309, issued October 28, 2011, "Reactive Inspection Decision Basis for Reactors," for consideration of potential reactive inspection activities. As applicable, the inspectors verified that the licensee made appropriate emergency classification assessments and properly reported the event in accordance with 10 CFR 50.72. The inspectors reviewed the licensee's follow-up actions related to the events to assure that the licensee implemented appropriate corrective actions commensurate with their safety significance. This constitutes one sample. Documents reviewed are listed in the attachment.

  • On September 15, 2014, it was determined that the ability to activate the 38 emergency sirens within the 10-mile emergency planning zone (EPZ) was lost. The activation capability was restored within two hours when a loose cable was discovered and replaced.

The event did not result in any adverse impact since the county back-up routing was available to notify the public. The licensee wrote CR 708969 to address this event.

b. Findings

No findings were identified.

.2 (Closed) Licensee Event Report (LER) 2014-002-00, Secondary Containment Loss of Safety Function Due to Opening in Reactor Building Roof Drain Line and Event Notification (EN) 50046, Loss of Secondary Containment due to Opening in Reactor Building Roof Drain Piping

a. Inspection Scope

On April 20, 2014, the licensee identified pooled water on the floor on the 80-foot elevation of the Unit 2 reactor building. Upon further investigation, a through-wall leak in the Unit 2 reactor building 8-inch roof drain pipe was identified. The leak size was estimated to exceed the maximum allowable margin of the secondary containment pressure boundary, which resulted in secondary containment being considered inoperable per technical specifications. On April 20, 2014, the NRC was notified of the event per Event Notification 50046. On June 19, 2014, the licensee submitted LER 2-2014-002 for a condition prohibited by the plant's technical specifications and that could have prevented fulfillment of the safety function of secondary containment to control the release of radioactive material to the public. On November 17, 2014, an engineering evaluation was completed which performed a more detailed characterization of the affected section of the Unit 2 reactor building roof drain piping. It was determined the leakage area did not exceed the allowable leakage margin and, therefore, secondary containment was still operable and capable of fulfilling its safety function. As a result, LER 2-2014-002 was cancelled on December 4, 2014. The inspectors reviewed the engineering evaluation and did not identify any issues with the retraction of the LER.

The licensee's immediate corrective action was to install a patch to seal the leak and is planning to replace the Unit 1 and Unit 2 reactor building roof drain piping in future refueling outages. The licensee entered this issue into the CAP as CR 690674.

b. Findings

No findings were identified.

4OA5 Other Activities

.1 (Closed) URI 05000324; 325/2014004-02, Tornado Protection of the Emergency Diesel Fuel Oil Tank Vent Lines

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors completed a review of URI 05000324; 325/2014004-02, Tornado Protection of the Emergency Diesel Fuel Oil Tank Vent Lines. On May 8, 2014, during a walkdown, the inspectors noted that the EDG 4-day fuel oil tank vent lines were not protected from tornado-borne missiles. The inspectors questioned the licensee on the whether these vents needed to be tornado-protected, and if so, could they withstand the design basis tornado and rain event. On August 14, 2014, the licensee took corrective actions to place concrete blocks around the vent lines. An engineering evaluation was then performed that identified the worst case design basis tornado and rainfall scenario conditions and what effect those would have on EDG operation. It was determined that with the maximum 24-hour rainfall rate and a tornado missile shearing the ventilation piping at the roof level, the worst case scenario was EDG1 4-day tank filling with water which would be transferred over to the EDG saddle tank. The saddle tank would fill to a level high enough to impact EDG operation in less than two hours. The licensee completed EC 96860 to install concrete barrier pads around the ventilation piping at the 4-day tank roof level to preclude a tornado missile impact at the most vulnerable part of the piping, and also preclude water accumulation on the roof from entering the EDG 4-day tanks. The inspectors reviewed the engineering evaluation, EC, and interviewed engineering personnel to understand the scenario and the impact to plant operation.

Documents reviewed are listed in the attachment.

b. Findings

An NRC-identified violation was identified and documented in section 1R15 of this report. This URI is closed.
