! Followup of Licensee Action on Previously Identified Findings (Closed) Open Item 267/8507-06: Shorten Time Between Change Notice (CN)
Issue And Notation On Drawing - In some cases, a caution that changes had
.        been made under a CN was not reflected on the affected drawings for 30 days or more af ter a CN was issued. This presented a concern that a modified system or component could be in service for that amount of time without adequate drawings. By utilizing a computerized document update information system, the licensee has shortened the time involved to mark all affected drawings to approximately 1 week, with the drawings in the 2        control room, shif t supervisor's of fice, and records center updated the same day a CN issue notification is received. The NRC inspector verified

required to remove the epoxy from a CRD element, which had been subjected l to varying power operating conditions in the reactor core between 1979 and l 1984. The second test, T-288, involved subjecting epoxy to greater than 1 300 F temperature and then performing a pull test to verify that thermocouples remained sufficiantly attached. Based on these tests, the

up to 300 F. The NRC resident inspectors reviewed the licensee's tests and evaluation and found them acceptabl This item is close . Operational Safety Verification The NRC resident inspectors reviewed licensee activities to ascertain that the facility is being operated safely and in conformance with regulatory requirements and that the licensee's management control system is ef fectively discharging its responsibilities for continued safe operatio The NRC resident inspectors toured the control room on a daily basis during normal working hours and at least weekly during backshif t hour The reactor operator and shif t supervisor logs and Technical Specification compliance logs were reviewed daily. The NRC resident inspectors observed proper control room staffing at all times and verified operators were attentive and adhered to approved procedures. Control room instrumentation was observed by the NRC inspectors and the operability of the plant protective system and nuclear instrumentation system were verified by the NRC resident inspectors on each control room tou Operator awareness and understanding of abnormal or alarm conditions were also verifie The NRC resident inspectors revieved the operations order book, operations deviution report (0DR) log, clearance log, and temporary configuration report (TCR) log to note any out-of-service safety-related systems and to verify compliance with Technical Specification requirement The licensee's station manager and superintendent of operations were observed in the control room on a daily basis, with the superintendent of operations frequently in the control room during the day and during special tests or evolution The NRC resident inspectors verified the operability of a safety-related system on a weekly basi The PCRV overpressure protection system, 120 VAC vital power distribution system, reactor plant cooling water system, and firewater system were verified operable by the NRC resident inspectors during this report perio During plant tours, particular attention was paid to components of these systems to verify valve positions, power supplies, and inst umentation were correct for current plant condition General plant condition and housekeeping were acceptabl Shift turnovers were observed at least weekly by the NRC resident inspectors.

supervisors routinely soliciting comments' or concerns from reactor operators, equipment operators, and auxiliary tender No violations or deviations were identified in the review of this program are . Followup of Unusual Event On February 10, 1988, at 3:47 p.m. (MST), "A" helium circulator tripped due to a low speed signal with the reactor at 75 percent power. The circulator trip resulted in a reactor runback to between 50 percent to 60 percent reactor power and then reactor power was further reduced by the plant operators to 25 percent power. While attempting to balance feedwater between Loop 1 and Loop 2, an upset in the helium circulator auxiliaries supplied by feedwater resulted in the tripping of "B" and "D" helium circuiators at 4:07 p.m. (MST).
 
The tripping of two circulators (A & B) in one loop r.;ulted in a loop shutdown (ESF actuation). The reactor operators manually scrammed the reactor from 25 percent power with only one helium circulator runnin At 6:40 p.m. (MST), the licensee identified that an unplanned release was occurring and an unusual event was declared. An operator had been dispatched to vent the surge tank associated with the liner cooling water system. The licensed operator dispatched to perform this function inadvertently opened the wrong valve venting the tank to the plant stack rather than to the gaseous radwaste system. The total release over approximately 200 minutes was small. (4.26 X 105 microcuries of noble gas activity)
The plant maintained forced circulation cooling at all tima The SRI responded to the event and was onsite all night. The Colorado Department of Health was in contact with the site and was briefed by the licensee as well as the SR The licensee has subsequently determined that the "A" helium circulator trip occurred due to an apparent interchange of speed indication signal cables during a recent equipment calibration. The trip occurred when the
"B" helium circulator was placed in manual control for calibratio Background The unusual event of February 10, 1988, and associated unplanned release started with the trip of helium circulator "A".

Helium circulator "A" speed cables had been successfully calibrated and circulator "A" returned to auto control. Helium circulator "B" was placed in manual control and calibration of the "B" circulator speed cables was in process when circulator "A" trippe The licensee determined that on February 2, 1988, while calibrating the speed modules (SM) on circulator "A", SM 2109 could not be balanced while getting its signal from cable 1819 The technician decided to check if the problem was in SM-2109 or in the cable 1819 The licensee suspected the speed problems were in the cables. Seven spare speed cables are available from each circulator's SM. The technician unplugged cable 18194 from SM 2109 and plugged in cable 18133. With cable 18133 installed, SM-2109 balanced and was left in this configuration by the technicia Cable 18133 does not sense circulator "A" speed but is a spare speed cable from the "B" circulator, Design Information There are two speed indications from each circulator: a steam turbine speed indication and a water turbine speed indication. The water turbine speed indicator is much easier to read than the steam indicator and generally the one the operators us Since both drives are on a common shaft, the speed should be the same regardless of which turbine is driving the circulato There are 12 speed cables coming from the speed modules of each helium circulator. Four of these cables are utilized for speed control. One cable for steam turbine speed, one cable for water turbine speed, and two spare Eight cables from each circulator are dedicated to the plant protection system (PPS). Three of these cables are used at one time (one for each logic channel). Five cables are dedicated spare Speed Control The speed control circuitry looks at the water turbine indicated speed and the steam turbine indicated speed and controls from the higher of the two indicated speeds (no difference if everything working correctly).

circulator steam turbine speed to control circulator "A" With l  cable 18133 (a "B" circulator speed cable) controlling SM-2109 (the
  "A" circulator water turbine SM) the problem arose during calibration of "B" circulator speed when the "A" circulator was in auto control and the "B" circulator speed exceeded the "A" circulator speed, l

  .When this happened, the control circuit for "A" circulator, selecting the higher speed indication, selected the "A" circulator water turbine speed. -This was actually the "B" circulator speed, since a
  "B" cable was feeding this speed module. This falsely told the control circuit that the "A" circulator was running faster than the control circuit required, so the control circuit began closing the
  "A" circulator steam speed valv Since the control circuit was actually reading "B" circulator speed it saw no change in the "A" circulator speed indication and continued to close down the "A" circulator speed valve. When the "A" circulator reached the low setpoint of the circulator speed-to-feedwater flow program, which forces a limit on primary to secondary flow ratio, the the PPS which was correctly reading circulator "A" speed tripped the circulato Findings The technician calibrating the SM was utilizing licensee Procedure SR-RE-17-W, Issue 10, "Circulator Speed Modifier Weekly Check."
 
The procedure did not address cable terminatio When the technician removed the installed cable (18133) he was no longer performing surveillance activities, but was performing maintenance activities. Maintenance activities are governed by the licensee's Administrative Prosedure P-7, Issue 12, "Station Service Request Processing." Procedure P-7 as modified by Procedure Deviation Request 88-0006, dated January 13, 1988, specifically states, in Section 2.0, that the procedure applies to corrective and preventative maintenance and not to calibration activitie Procedure P-7 is the licensee's procedure for controlling maintenance activitie Procedure P-7 requires initiation of a Station Service Request to authorize, document, and control maintenance activitie Failure to follow Procedure P-7 is an apparent violation of NRC regulations (267/8803-01).
 
The operator venting reactor plant cooling water system surge tanks was guided by System Operating procedure (SOP) 46, Issue 39, "Reactor Plant Cooling Water System." SOP-46 in Step 3.7, "Venting the Vapor Space in T-4601 or (T-4602)," details the steps for venting the reactor plant cooling water surge tank vapor space to the gas waste system. The steps call for first opening V-4653 for Surge Tank T-4601 (V-4654 for Surge Tank T-4602). Then the operator is to open V-461691 for Surge Tank T-4601 (V-461692 for Surge Tank T-4602).
 
Opening these two valves for each surge tank vents the vapor space of each tank to a common line leading to the gas waste system. When these steps are completed, the operator opens Valve V-46193, which
. . . . . .

opens the common line from the two surge tanks to the gas waste system relieving the pressure in the , urge tank All of the valves mentioned in the preceding paragraph are manual valves. Adjacent to the valves, V-461691 on Tank T-4601 and V-461692 on Tank T-4602, are hand operated valves, V-461634P and k-461635P, respectively. Opening Valve V-461634P after opening Valve V-4653 vents Surge Tank 1-4601 to the plant exhaust stack. Opening Valve V-461635P af ter opening Valve V-4654 vents Surge Tank T-4602 to the plant exhaust tan The valves are now clearly marked as to function. At the time of the incident, the valves were marked with small stamped metal tags identifying the valves by numbe Procedure 50P-46 in Step 3.7 clearly listed the valves to be opene The valves were identified in the procedure by valve number corresponding to the valve numbers attached to the valves. The operator opened either or both Valves V-461634P and V-461635P, rather than V-461691 and V-461592. This vented the gaseous content of Tanks T-4601 and/o" T-4602 to the plant stack resulting in an unplanned radioactive release. The failure to follow Procedure 50P-46 is second example of Violation (267/8803-01).
 
5. Engineered Safety Features (ESF) Walkdown The NRC resident inspectors performed a walkdown of all accessible portions of the prestressed concrete reactor vessel (PCRV) overpressure protection system to verify its operabilit Sections 4.3.6 and 6.8 of the FSAR and Technical Specifications 3.2, 3.3, 4.2.7, and 5.2.1 were reviewed by the NRC resident inspectors to ensure familiarity with the system and requirements. The as-found system configuration was compared with drawing PI-11-5 to check their agreement. Valve positions and labeling were verified to be correct by the NRC resident inspectors, including the installation of lotking devices on valves where require All cortions of the system were physically inspected, w th the exception of the internals of the PCRV safety valve tank T-1101 which contains the relief valves and rupture discs. These components will be inspected during the next outage when T-1101 is opened. During this inspection, attention was paid to equipment conditions, housekeeping, and any items which could degrade performance. The overall condition of this system was considered goo No violations or deviations were identified in the review of this program are . Monthly Surveillance Observation The NRC resident inspectors observed the licensee's performance of selected surveillance activities as listed below.

requirements and to ensure they had been properly reviewed and approved prior to commencing any tests. The NRC resident inspectors witnessed portions of the preparations, conduct, and v/ stem restoration for each of these surveillance tests. Test results were independently reviewed by the NRC resident inspectors to ensure they met applicable Technical Specification requirements. Surveillance activities observed during this reporting period included:
SR 5.4.1.1.8.b-M, "Reheat Steam Temperature Scram Test," performed on February 1,1988. This surveillance tests each hot reheat steam temperature scram channel to verify alarms, actuations, and indication The as-found values were measured and recorded, acceptance values calculated and independently verified, and calibration of the bystable amplifiers and thermocouple amplifiers was checked at 600 F, 900 F, and 1200 F utilizing test signal These amplifiers were adjusted as required in accordance with this procedure and the as-left values were recorde No discrepancies were note SR 5.10.8-M, "Monthly Check of Fire Hose Stations," performed on February 2, 1988. This surveillance verified the condition of each fire hose station in the reactor and turbine buildings, and was independently versfied by the NRC resident inspector Each station's hose valve was verified shut and not leaking, hoses and nozzles properly connected, and general equipment conditions observe No discrepancies were note E3R 8.1.lbc-M, "Radioactive Gaseous Effluent Systein Test," performed on February 25, 1988. This surveillance test verifies the operation of the gaseous waste release system automatic functions. Instruments which provide inputs to cause automatic isolation and ventilation system realignments were tripped using a test signal, then each associated damper or valve which was repositioned by the automatic signal was verified to be in its proper positio The instruments and equipment were then restored to their normal lineup. No discrepancies were note No violations or deviations were identified in the review of this program are . Monthly Maintenance Observation On February 4,1988, the licensee noticed the pressure in the emergency feedwater supply to the Loop 1 helium circulator Pelton wheel drives was equal to the feedwater header pressure (approximately 3000 psia). This
:
condition indicated a problem with Pressure Control Valve PV-21243, which
'
should reduce the pressure to approximately 1700 psi. The licensee took the emergency feedwater header out of service at 5:57 a.m. (MST), on February 5, 1988, to perform repairs on PV-21243 and entered Technical Specification Limiting Condition for Operation (LCO) 4.0.3, since the

Headers LCO," were no longer satistted- LCO 4.0.3 requires the reactor to be ;hutdown in an orderly manner within a 24-hr Jr period. Also c' :icaale and providing a 24-hour grace period was LCO 4.2.2.a, "Operable C. culator -
LCO." Repairs were made to valve PV-21243, which included replacement of the valve trim. The associated pressure controller, PIC-21243, was calibrated in accordance with Procedure RP-EQ-16, Issue 2, dated October 15, 1986. The NRC resident inspectors observed the repairs and calibration, which were completed satisfactorily. No aiscrepancies were noted. The emergency feedwater header was retu ned to service at 1 a.m. (MST), on February 6, 1988, and LCO 4.0.3 and 4.2.2.a were formally exited at 5:15 a.m. (MST), after allowing the system to run following its return to servic The NRC resident inspectors also followed the licensee's actions to correct the problems in the helium circu'ator speed cables. The circulator speed signals to both the indicators and the plant protective system had been exhibiting erratic behavior at the elevated temperatures associated with operation at higher power levels. Troubleshooting following the February 10, 1988, event, described in paragraph 4 of this report, indicated a problem with the twinax cable "Cannon" connectors at the helium circulators. These special connectors have the male end attached to the circulator housing and the female end attached to the cables. These female pin connectors have a spring-like device which in some cases had relaxed, allowing a slight gap in the pin connection at the elevated temperatures. The connectors on each of the four helium circulators were disassembled and both the nale ar.d fema'e pins were checked with a micrometer to ensure their size was within a tolerance of 0.060 inch to 0.064 inch. A number of female pins were replaced, and the connectors reassembled. Since returning to power on February 12, 1988, the licensee has experienced no significant problems wish the helium circulator speed cables or the associated indications and protective circuitr At 10:40 p.m. (MST), on February 25, 1988, the license 4 experienced a turbine trip from approximately 50 percent power due to a <=lse low main steam pressure signal. On investigation, the licensee discovered the root valve to Main Steam Pressure Transmitter PT-5220 was nearly shut. This valve had been repacked on February 11, 1988, and was left in a nearly shut position following this wor The valve was open enough to allow the main steam pressure to equalize across it before the turbine was placed in service. The valve's new paa,ing shifted, evidenced by the fact that the valve developed a packing leak about the time of the turbine trip, which allowed the pressure downstream of the ,alve to be relieved. This re6fced pressure was sensed by PT-5220, which then caused a turb'ne tri The NRC resident inspectors found no instructions in Maintenance Procedure MP-2115 to return a valve to its as-found pcsttion following maintenanc Although this is not safety-related equipment, the lack of a step to return the equipment to service following maintenance is of some concern. The licensee considers the potential probiers associated with this significant and will revise all m.iintenance precedures fo valves to j

Radiological protection The NRC resident inspectors observed the licensee's activities in this area to verify their conformance with policies, procedures, and regulatory requirement Health physics professionals were observed on all shifts, performing plant tours, area surveys for radiation levels and radit. .ive contamination, and checking the operability of area radiation man, toes and continuous air samplers. The NRC resident inspectors verified tha the results of area surveys were posted at entrances to radiation areas and in other appropriate location Health physics supervisors and personnel were aware of the plant status and activities which involved potential radiological concern The NRC resident inspectors observed that health physics personnel were present and available to provide astistance whenever workers are required to enter a radiologically controlled are No violations or deviations were identified in the review of this program are . Physical Security Observation The NRC resident inspectors vcrified that there was a lead security officer (LS0) on duty authorized by the facility security plan to direct
