EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Crystal River 3 Nuclear Station NRC Inspection Report 50-302/97-05  ,
This integrated inspection included aspects of licensee operation l engineering, maintenance, plant support. and review of restart-related open items. The report covers a 5-week period of resident inspection, in addition, it includes the results of announced inspections by three reactor inspectors and one project engineer from Region I Doerations A violation (VIO 50-302/97-05-01) with four examples was identified for failure to follow clearance tagging procedural recuirements. Numerous problems have occurred over a several month perioc which indicate that the implementation of licensee clearance tagging process was significantly deficient. A comprehensive corrective action plan was not developed for several months and was still awaiting the final root causes determinatio The ongoing problems indicate a need for a comarehensive and significant
'
change. The inspectors concluded these and otler examples indicated that the licensee's overall process for configuration and status control of plant equipment remained deficient (Section 01.2).
 
Equipment labelling was determined to be a weakness due to the significant potential for tagging or manipulation of the wrong component and the use of indelible markers for plant equipment labelling which could potentially bypass labelling controls and verifications (Section 02.2).
 
Several examples of poor questioning attitudes were observed causing the inspectors to conclude that Operations ownership'and cognizance of plant spaces, equipment, and 3rocesses was poor. Due to the numerous examples. the inspectors considered t1is a weakness in Operations (Section 04.1).
 
Licensee self-assessment activities continue to be effective. Deficiencies were identified with commitment tracking, which are being addressed. The licensee's Licensing organization was undergoing several personnel changes intended to result in improved Licensing performance (Section 07.1).


Problems continue to be observed with the corrective action program but a pending revision to the program procedure addresses the majority of the problems. Timeliness of root cause and corrective action development for significant problems remains a challenge. Numerous investigation deficiencies
==Dear Mr. Anderson:==
, were observed in an event followup that indicated a need for a logical and l rigorous event review process for immediate investigotions of problems (Sections 01.2 and 07.2).
Thank you for your response of July 1.1997, to our Notice of Violation (NOV) :
issued on June 2. 1997, concerning activities conducted at your Crystal River )
facility. We have evaluated your response and found that it meets the requirements of 10 CFR 2.201. We will examine the implemantation of your corrective actions during future inspections.


Maintenance
- We appreciate your cooperation in this. matter.
: The inspectors concluded that all observed maintenance and surveillance activities were performed in accordance with procedures and desired results

Enaineerina The inspectors concluded that online maintenance and surveillance of active components that were relied upon by both trains of high pressure injection and i emergency feedwater were adequately controlled, with one exception. The Technical Specifications did not address the cross-train dependency of the A emergency die el generator on the B train turbine-driven emergency feedwater I pump. EFP-2. However, the licensee was attively addressing this issue by i drafting a. Technical Specification amendment request and had included it on j their restart list. Also, the licensee had addressed past maintenance l problems with EFP-2 (Section E8.1).
The inspectors concluded that there were nonconservative errors in the licensee's calculations for control complex habitability envelope leakage and ;
Jost-accident operator dose. The inspectors also concluded that the licensee !
lad failed to implement procedures for operators to address the potential I failure of control complex habitability envelope isolation dampers susceptible to single failure, as committed to in response to NUREG 0737. Item III.D. These issues are added to Unresolved Item (URI 50-302/95-02-02). Control Complex Habitability Envelope Leakage, and remain open pending further licensee and NRC review (Section E8.2).
An Unresolved Item (URI 50-302/97-05-02) was identified regardirg the question of whether the 50.59 safety evaluation for the Improved Technical ,
Specification basis change should have addressed the remote operation of the I atmospheric dump valves described in the licensee's shutdown from outside the control room procedure (Section E8.6).
The proposed corrective actions for precursor card 97-2360 were weak in that the corrective actions did not adequately address the' apparent cause identified for the precursor card (Section E8.6).  ;
A Violation (VIO 50-302/97-05-03) was identified for certain annunciator response procedures that contained incorrect information (Section E8.7).
An Unresolved Item (URI 50-302/97-05-04) was identified for weaknesses in the licensee's commitment tracking process (Section E8.9).
Plant Suocort An inspector review of a licensee Health Physics self-assessment on corrective !
action plans identified some documentation deficiencies, but no deficiencies were found with the licensee's assessment. findings and response plan. No l l other problems were noted in the areas of radiological controls or chemistry i
! (Section R1.1).
The results of an off-hours emergency staffing drill were reviewed and a quarterly drill was observed that indicated emergency 3reparedness activities were performed well and only minor deficiencies were o] served (Section Pl.1). '
. A loss of power to central alarm station equipment was investigated and revealed a security staff lack of familiarity with the operation and function l

of some installed equipment. Security management did not a)propriately prioritize the issue and obtain adequate resolution from otler departments, so final resolution of the problem is still pending (Section S2.1).
A problem with the security computer operating system run-time expiration that had the potential to disable the security system was appropriately addressed by the licensee (Section S2.2).

Report Details Summary of Plant Status The unit remained in Mode 5 with a bubble in the aressurizer throughout the inspection period, continuing in the outage that Jegan on September 2. 199 Work on several major physical modifications commenced this re) ort perio These included Emergency Feedwater (EFW) cavitating venturis, EFW motor-operated cross-tie Valve EFV-12, and overpressurization chambers for containment penetration isolations to address concerns in NRC Generic Letter 96-06. Assurance of Equipment Operability and Containment Integrity During Design Basis Accident Condition L. Operations 01 Conduct of Operations 01.1 General Comments (71707)
Using Inspection Procedure 71707 the ins)ectors conducted routine reviews of ongoing plant operations whic1 included shift turnovers, response to problems, review of logs observation of non-licensed o)erator rounds, and verification of clearance tagging order Notable l oaservations are discussed in the following paragraph Several attention to detail and personnel errors plus a poor process for clearance tagging discussed in Section 01.2 resulted in the identification of several examples of a violation of requirements for following the equipment clearance tagging procedure. The inspectors ,
observed several examples of )oor questioning attitudes by operators es '
discussed in Section 04.1. T1ese observations caused the inspectors to conclude that Operations ownership and cognizance of plant spaces, equipment. and processes was poor. Due to the numerous examples, the inspectors considered this a weakness in Operations. The inspector also
,
observed several deficiencies in plant labelling, some of which l contributed to problems discussed in Sections 01.2 and 04.1. Other problems were noted with the absence or unavailability of certain flow diagrams or electrical schematics. The inspectors were concerned with this because it impaired the abilities of operators to perform their l
jobs. The inspectors also considered this a weakness due to the l significant potential for incorrect component manipulation or tagging.

The-inspector reviewed t;e final written version and found it l comprehensive but still not a direct result of a root cause evaluatio t A common root cause evaluation was still pending at the end of the !
report period for the multitude of tagging and equipment status l problems. The licensee did intend to revise their plan based on the i results of the finalized root cause analysis. The inspector considered ,
these following tagging problems as further deficiencies in the ;
,  licensee's overall process for configuration and status control of plant ;
l  ecuipment which the licensee has not yet fully corrected. The inspector ;

verified as removed on the same date. Other tags were hanging on the breaker for operational concerns so the breakers were in the correct position for plant conditions. The licensee implemented an immediate i investigation and documented the problem on precursor card (PC) 97-2238 i l  to implement corrective action The licensee did not identify any other clearance tags that were missing or could have been inadvertently pulled I so they removed the EC0 96-012-98 tags. The inspector noted that the !
clearance certification of all-active clearances performed.every 30 days ;
did not identify this discrepancy. The certification is done on a staggeredbasisthroughoutthe30 days,andonlyactiveclearancesare  -
verified. Hence the presence'of inactive tags would not be questioned
,  by an individual' verifying other tags on the breakers. The inspector
'
also noted that the specified location of the suspect tags was on the 4160 volt breaker cubicle for the MVP, and the position was racked out i'
on the floor.' The inspector noted that the licensee's 3ractice was to normally locate this type of tag on a chain across the areaker cubicle j  itself to prevent reinsertion of the racked out breake However, this ,
i  practice was not documented in any licensee procedural guidance which !
i  may have contributed to this problem. The licensee has observed other i
!  3roblems with the location of these type of tags in that tags could be ;
 
lung on the racked out breaker, the door of the cubicle, or an installed ;
,  internal grounding breaker. The failure to remove the correct tags l 3roperly was identified as the first example of VIO 50-302/97-05-01, i Failure to Follow Equipment Tagging Control Procedural Requirement '

;  3 disconnect switch labelled "FHCR-7 MAIN DISC" was incorrectly hung on a adjacent disconnect switch, six feet away for the spent fuel pool gate hoist labelled "SFHT - 3 TON YALE MONORAIL HOIST." The latter disconnect was labelled with small. handwritten letters applied with a indelible marker pen while the FHCR-7 disconnect was labelled with ,
l clearly visible, adhesive black letters on a white background that were approximately two inches tall. The adhesive labels were routinely used by the licensee for plant labelling. The licensee found the aroblem on April 4 when pulling the tags after the ECO was released to ]e changed to another ECO. Actual work had not been authorized or commenced on the incorrect ECO. The involved individuals were removed from clearance duties, and a short term investigation was initiated by the licensee.
 
l The hanging of the tags on the incorrect breaker was identified as the second example of VIO 50-302/97-05-01. Failure to Follow Equipment Tagging Control Procedural Requirement On April 21 a maintenance foreman was walking down his clearance when he noted the red tag hung on Valve SWV-60, the SW cooling water inlet to control complex compressor 18, was actually labelled "CHV-60." The tag had been hung by an Operations individual, verified by a second individual, and then verified again by a licensed Senior Reactor Operator. The last additional check was required as an interim corrective action in response to the aforementioned problems. None of these three individuals noted the tag discrepancy. Operations a)propriately performed an investigation that verified the tag was on t1e correct valve and removed the involved individuals from further clearance activities. This effort revealed that the Chief Nuclear 0)erator (CNO), who had written the clearance tagging order, was also tie individual who second checked the tag hanging. This impaired his ability to be an independent verifier and contributed to his failure to notice the discrepancy. The hanging of the incorrectly labelled tag on SWV-60 and failure to be corrected by three individuals was identified as the third example of VIO 50-302/97-05-01. Failure to Follow Equipment Tagging Control Procedural Requirement On April 12. a Shift Supervisor on Duty (SSOD) was walking down ECO 97-03-164 on the main turbine turning gear to verify release positions for the ecui) ment. He observed a red tag hanging on the air supply line statec tlat the position of the air line was disconnected but the line was actually connected. The licensee initiated an immediate investigation which identified a disagreement between the operations and the contract maintenance personriel regarding the position of the air line after tagging and prior to the maintenance. The operators who hung the tags stated the air line was disconnected by them per the tagging order while the maintenance crew stated they found the line tagged but connected prior to starting their maintenance. The investigation
,
culminated in Operations and Maintenance supervisors and managers assembling the involved individuals in a single room on April 13 to resolve the discrepancies. The ins)ector witnessed this meeting and noted the following problems with tie investigation:
i
!

. .
        - - ,
 
. Adequate written, inde)endent personnel statements had not been obtained from all of t1e involved individuals - several had been obtained over the phone after the individuals had left the site following night shift and were no longer fit for duty:
. The operations supervisor leading the meeting tainted the validity of the information to be obtained by assuming and stating that the involved individuals had observed conditions and taken actions that were still in question:
. The licensee supervisors did not have any investigation plan or use any root cause method prior to convening the meeting. The supervisors had not yet initiated a PC corrective action document, and trained investigator assistance was not requeste Consequently, the meeting was disorganized and consisted of a series of random, repetitive, and disjointed questions:
. The meeting lasted one hour and much specific information was presented but was not retained because the licensee did not transcribe any notes of the meeting. This omission hampered the ensuing investigation as was obvious by the supervisors'
difficulty reconstructing the details of what was said after the meeting:
. Although the associated individuals actions spanned several days, no attem)t was made to develop a time line for the sequence of events w1ich would have assisted the investigators in resolving smaller discrepancies between the individuals' accounts of the problem:
. The licensee focused on resolving the disagreement between the two groups and initially did not pursue the other problems that were revealed in the meeting:
. The managers performing the investigation eliminated the involvement of any third party mani)ulation of the air line that would account for the disagreement )ased on their perceptions and
>
not any specific evidenc The inspector determined from the investigation meeting that the maihtenance personnel stated they found the air line connected with a tag on the turning gear. They moved the tag down the air line because they were to remove the turning gear and did not want to remove the tag with it. They assumed they were authorized to implement the tagged
; position of disconnected. Therefore, they disconnected the air line and l removed the turning gear. Consecuently, when the same crew reinstalled the turning gear they reconnectec the air line with the red tag still on the air line which is how the SSOD found it on April 12. The maintenance crew claimed they had questioned the tag but had not discussed it with supervision in maintenance or operations. They rationalized their actions taken on a red tagged component by stating that they had never observed operations personnel break air lines in the l

past and that it was normally a maintenance activity. The first '
      '
o)erator who implemented the tagging clearance order stated he vented t1e line by closing an upstream air supply valve. V-5, and venting the l .line between a closed solenoid valve and the turning gear by removing i l-
'
connecting ca)s at the turning gear. Air pressure was still present upstream of t1e solenoid valve and the solenoid was not included on the ECO. The operator later recognized the line was to be disconnected per the clearance and replaced the caps but did not tighten them. The caps l would appear to be properly installed from a visual' inspection. The operators also later added Valve V-5 to the clearance as a more effective isolation.after walking down the lines. The operators claimed that an adequate print of the involved air lines on the main turbine-platform was not available so the availability of V-5 was ' unknown, an it was not included on the original' clearance. The inspector noted the !
following problems with the action of the involved individuals, some of !
l which were also noted by licensee management.
 
'
. The maintenance crew exhibited an extreme lack of questioning attitude and adequate supervisory notification when the problem was initially recognized.
 
!
; e The maintenance crew perception that they could implement the
,  tagged position of a red tagged component and move a red tag is an l  extremely significant breakdown of the principles of the clearance tagging system. The adequacy of the licensee's clearance training, expectations for contractors, and supervisory oversight l  of contractors appeared questionable.
 
l . The maintenance crew's attempt to justify their. actions considering that operators did not normally break air lines was inappropriate and irrelevant. This was not initially recognized and corrected by. maintenance management
. The lack of adequate flow prints or schematics impairs Operations ability to author safe and effective tagging orders.
 
t
. The operator who removed the air line vent caps and did not fully
:  reinstall them did not have any direction or procedural guidance l  to perform the task. Consequently no mechanism existed to ensure the caps would be reinstalled so equipment configuration control was lost.
 
l * The original ECO was inadequate, since breaking an air line I
downstream of an untagged solenoid valve without recuiring closing V-5 and venting the line, as the operator actually cid, had the potential to result in breaking the connection on a live line if
.
the solenoid valve leaked by or been actuated.
 
L.
 
i The inspector considered the breaking of the tagged air line, the moving
 
of the red tag, and the inadequacy of the original clearance as the fourth and most significant example of VIO 50-302/97-05-01. Failure to

The inspector verified the licensee had taken several promp~t. interim corrective actions for each of the four problems. Ori April 4 Short Term Instruction (STI) 97-010 was issued to restrict the hanging of all ;
clearances. Exceptions if any could be authorized by the SSOD and would '
l require observance by a senior reactor operator (SRO) while being hun ;
On Aprii 14 the Director Nuclear Plan Operations (DNPO) directed that !
the SRO reviews continue as well as a similar review and verification by ,
maintenance supervision prior to performing work. This was implemented i i
'
by STI 97-012. The licensee also verified all existing clearances for l adequac A site-wide configuration management standdown was held on April 21. The ins)ector reviewed the presentations for the standdown i and found them to ae detailed discussions of the events that had l occurred and the significance of proper configuration control. The l inspector noted that other events not discussed in the examples above j
'
were included in the briefings including two events where valves would i not stroke because operators did not recognize air or electrical power !
to these valves was not properly restorm' following tagging cr was still l tagged. On April 24 the licensee initit .ec an Operations Study Book l entry to reiterate specific requirements fo, implementing the Sto). !
Think. Act. Review (STAR) concept when r, m 9q clearance tags. T1e l entry stressed that discrepancies must be 1. mediately brought to l supervision's attentiontand resolved before 3roceeding. The licensee also initiated several efforts to maximize t,e time supervisors were in the plant monitoring clearance activities to ensure expectations were met and reinforce j Although the licensee's root cause analysis was still not finalized at the close of this Inspection Report period, their 3reliminary assessment l indicated problems in their tagging process descri)ed by CP-115. an
'
unacceptable level of personnel errors, inadequate inde)endent l verifications. and inadequate supervisory presence in t1e fiel Earlier problems with the control of clearance tagging resulted in a <
complete revision of CP-115 which the licensee expected to commence training on and implement in the latter part of May. The-licensee also reviewed the corrective action system database to ensure all configuration control deficiencies were captured in the scope of their investigation. The licensee was incorporating these corrective actions into the revision of CP-11 .
c. Conclusions The inspector concluded that the licensee clearance tagging process was l significantly deficient as indicated by numerous problems which occurred L over a several month period. Although the licensee has responded to the i I details of each problem with corrective actions a comprehensive l corrective action plan was not developed for several months and is still i awaiting the final root causes determination. Implementation of this i plan is still ongoing. Consequently, problems have continued to occu '
The ongoing problems indicate a need for a comprehensive and significant change. The inspector concluded these and other examples indicate that the licensee's overall process for configuration and status control of plant equipment was deficient.

Observations and Findinas The inspector observed several examples of inadequate and poor labelling of )lant equipment, some of which contributed to previously described
]ro)1 ems. Examples included unlabelled recorders WD-101 on the Radioactive Waste panel that indicated system flow and radiation monitor countrate. Neither of the two pens on both of the recorders was labelled and the inputs to each color pen were opposite from one i recorder to the other. The Auxiliary Building operators questioned by 1 the inspector indicated they knew which input went to each pen from l experienc Another example involved three electrical control panels in the Fire Pump Building which were label;ed Pump 3A. 3B, and 3C respectively for the three main Fire Service Fumps (FSP) in the building. However the i licensee's unique identification numbers for these pumps were FSP-2A, l FSP-1. and FSP 2B respectively. Tags on the pumps and licensee prints use these latter numbers. The former numbers were used by the licensee's architect during construction. On May 1 the inspector observed Clearance 97-04-192 hanging on the cabinet for pump 3 Red Tag R-005 was originally written to Josition the FSP-1 local disconnect i switch on the FSP-1 local control ca)inet to be OPEN. However, the tag had been revised by a handwritten change to read the " knife switch" on !
the FSP-1 local control cabinet to be OFF. An engraved licensee label on the suspect switch read " KNIFE SWITCH" but did not contain any unique
, identification numbers. Vendor supplied metal tags on the cabinet labelled the switch as " Isolating Switch" with positions of ON and 0FF.
 
.
As mentioned above, there was not any indication that the panel was associated with FSP-1 because the label for the cabinet read " Pump 3B."
 
Another knife switch on the cabinet with a vendor supplied tag was !
l l
 
  - . - .-.
 
l labelled " manual control" which c.reated further potential confusion as to the correct placement of Tag 4-005. Tag R-004 on the same clearance was required to position Breaker #-1 in local distribution Janel ACDP-7
,
to OPE However, the inspector observed that the tagged areaker had no markers of any sort. It could be surmised that it was correctly
'
Breaker #1 because it was the top breaker in the left of two columns with the breaker to the right being number two and the breaker below being number three. This lack of any positive indication as to the correct breaker was not questioned by the operators hanging the ta The inspector was unable to verify positively that either of these the tags were on the correct panels or components by using the installed labels and questioned how the operators hanging the tags could sign for
; verification in the absence of this informatio Other problems noted by the inspector include widespread use of pencil and indelible marker writing to label plant equipment and provide l operational guidance. Switches for the reactor coolant pump lube oil collection system pump control panel in the Intermediate Building that were labelled with a arrow and a mark indicating the direction to l
'
manipulate them for drain flow were one exampl The same panel also had a pressure transmitter with a local gage reading in percent but no
'
indication as to what parameter the gage was indicating. In another,
! the inspector observed expected filter differential pressure (DP)
l readings above a DP gage that were followed in ap)arently the same I handwriting by a note indicating the filter was clanged in 1982.
 
l The inspector also noted from followup on other events that plant clearance tags generated by the licensee's EC0 system normally do not
; match the labels on plant equipment. especially with electrical
'
equipment. Valves normally were tagged with a three letter and two l number designator which matched the ECO but descriptive labels were not l included on most mechanical equipment and those that were tagged usually ;
,
did not match the clearance tags closely. The operators indicated that ;
l this had not been a problem and there was no ongoing attempt to fix the ;
discrepancies in the ECO database as they were encountere j As discussed in the fourth example of Section 02.1. the inspector was i l concerned about the unavailability of system schematics that hampered
! operator's ability to author effective clearances. A plant operator identified a similar concern with the unavailability of electrical load lists or drawings for a non-safety related electrical panel documented on PC 97-295 ;
c. Conclusions
,
The inspector concluded the licensee's ecuipment labelling and lack of
,
certain equipment. prints was a weakness cue to the significant potential for tagging or manipulation of the wrong component. The inspector also concluded the use of indelible markers for plant equipment labelling could potentially bypass labelling controls and verifications and was unacceptable. The lack of any effort to address the problem was indicative of poor management attention in the past. However, new l      I l      1

A suggestion was made in the SSOD log to avoid stopping in the dead spot, but this was not implemented by any procedure, tag, or formal directive. Only the findings of an investigation into the cause of the crane sticking were logged by the SS00, not the original problem:
. Plant housekeeping was observed to be poor by the inspector Equipment, furniture and tool boxes were found adrift in various locations of the Auxiliary and Intermediate Buildings with no indication as to their purpose. Ladders were missing or not stowed properly after work and securing of equipment for seismic concerns was very inconsistent. Local operating procedure binders were empty in the fire pump buildings. These discrepancies were not questioned by non-licensed building operators on their rounds:
. On April 1, an inspector noted an SS00 log entry on the Emergency Feedwater Valve (EFV)-36 piping replacement. After the clearance was implemented the line continued to drain. As a result, the clearance boundary was expanded to provide an additional valve to ,
isolate the system. The inspector observed that a PC or work '
request (WR) had not been written to identify and correct the ;
leaking emergency feedwater system valve '
. On April 9 an inspector noted an SSOD log entry described a clearance for fire service Valve 77 that also had to be expanded to get a better isolation to support the scheduled work. The inspector again observed that neither a PC or a WR had been generated to repair the identified leaking valve . The licensee's response to develop a contingency plan and obtain a Plant Review Committee review of it for a large algae bloom along the coast that shut down cooling units of fossil power plants was goo A single point of contact was established to ensure their preparedness if the bloom migrate c. Conclusions The inspector concluded these examples indicated the ownership of plant spaces and equipment by Operations personnel was poor and was indicative of poor attention to procedure adherence. These events also demonstrated a lack of sensitivity and questioning attitude on the part of the involved personnel.

N0A inspections continue to be responsive and have identified some  l
,- worthwhile findings.' One report was noted by the inspector to be  l
[ especially thorough. A review of the licensee's new 10 CFR 50.59 safety '
l ' evaluation process that was implemented on March 31, 1997, was done by  ,
an outside contract specialist. The inspector.noted that the individual !
,
performed a good. thorough audit of-the process and identified several L deficiencies, none of which constituted a significant problem.
!
.The inspector observed that the licensee's tracking of commitment via l- their " NOTES" system was poor. -Numerous gaps in the data existed,  1 L particularly for 1995 when data was not routinely entered in the syste i
; The_ inspector noted the format was not conducive to managing and
! tracking items and concluded it contributed to licensee problems l ensuring commitments were me Similar problems were observed by the  ;
licensee's Quality Assurance group in their 97-02 audit which prompted
:- licensee management to direct s comprehensive correspondence review to-L ensure all commitments were appropriately ca]tured. Further details of
'
.this problem are discussed in Section E8.9 w11ch resulted in the
'
identification of an. Unresolved Ite The Plant' Review Committee (PRC) was functioning well and was an  )
effective reactor safety oversight group. Presentations were consistent  ;
due to format changes and the inspector observed that 10 CFR 50.59  ;
I safety evaluations received-an large amount of scrutiny. A clear chain l of custody process continues to function well. Revision 40 to'-
Administrative Instruction 300, . Plant Review Committee Charter, was l issued March 27, 1997. .The inspector reviewed the new procedure and i found only one notable problem in that a commitment to develo) a method to document the basis and contingencies for-PRC decisions to )e routed to the operations shift supervision was not fully implemented. The commitment arose out of a problem documented in NRC Inspection Report
.50-302/97-01. The licensee is reassessing their method of implementing the desired result. Previous concerns with screening of items to ensi1re - i l
they were considered for PRC review when required have not been fully  i
! resolved by the licensee. However, the inspector was satisfied with the  '
j L current process and did not note any items that bypassed a required PRC L revie )
i The inspector reviewed the licensee's " Licensing and Regulatory  ;

effective. The inspector noted that the scope and goal of the audit was thoroughly. documented and justified, but the findings and justifications for the conclusions were not thoroughly dispositioned. The inspector verified the basis for some of the conclusions and did not . identify an further deficiencies and concluded the deficiency was limited to !
documentation. The inspector identified one other deficiency in that the licensee often assumed corrective actions were effective based on the absence of any further events. The inspector considered the use of ,
other measures of effectiveness necessary to ensure the cause of.the !
problem was corrected. Again, the licensee had done some of this, but ( 1t wasn't thoroughly documented. The inspector verified each of the i L self-assessment findings was being appropriately addressed and tracked ,
l for closure by HP management and was also entered as a PC in the L licensee's corrective action system. Although, this last paragraph referred to activities which would normally.be characterized under the Plant Sapport area, it has been located so as to combine self assessment ;

l required to work extensive uncompensated overtime, which was causing a l major breakdown in employee moral !
l The inspector reviewed the licensee's resolution to the PC and performed i follow-up of the concerns. The licensee acknowledged that the I engineering staff was being required to work uncompensated overtime but i did not characterize the amount of time as excessive. On February 2 l 1997, the licensee management agreed to pay eXemat employees an extended l shift differential for certain circumstance Tlese included: the time 1 l      l l      4

The extendec shift differential was not for occasional emergent work. The licensee considered that the employee's salary was established with the potential to cover the occasional emergent work.
.
The inspectors reviewed the engineering time records for the duration of
! the present outage. Until the extended shift di.fferential was l implemented, the engineering staff did not maintain official records of -
l the actual hours worked by the staff. .The inspector discussed the hours :
being worked with the department manager. From October 1996 through ,
      '
March 1997, the design engineers have been on 50 hour weekly schedules.
i Between March 1997 and April 1997, the design engineers have been on 60 hour weekly schedules. The manager is planning to ) lace the design . ;
!- engineering staff on alternating 50 and 60 hour weedy schedule These schedules were approved by the department manage l
      ^
l The system-engineering staff are not required to keep total hours worked l . on their time records, but are encouraged to do so by the department l- manager. The inspector observed that it is very common for the system engineers to record the actual hours worked in the comment section of
'the time sheets. The manager of the system engineers informed the i inspectors that the schedule was not fixed, but that the goal was to
! limit system engineers to no more than two concurrent 60 hour weeks, !
l followed by a return to a normal schedule. The manager estimated that -l-since the implementation of the extended shift differential, that
.approximately sixty percent of the system engineers were approved at any-one time. The inspector reviewed the individual time sheets for the departmen No cases where personnel had worked more than 60 hours in a one week period were identifie AI-100, Facility Administrative Policies, requires that any personnel

E (Closed) URI 50-302/97-01-06: HPI System Desian. Licensino Basis. and TS Concerns a. Insoection Scooe (92903)    I During this inspection, the inspectors followed u) on the third (of three) examples of this unresolved item (URI). T1e first two examples ,
of this URI were addressed in Inspection Report (IR) 50-302/97-06. The j third example of this URI involved a concern with maintenance and !
surveillance testing of active components that were relied upon by both i trains, and Technical Specifications (TS) compliance during the i maintenance and surveillance testing. The components that were relied upon by both trains included High Pressure Injection (HPI) injection i Valves MUV-23 MUV-24, MUV-25. and MUV-26: the normal makeup valve. MUV- !
27: the Reactor Coolant Pump (RCP). seal injection valve, MUV-18: the normal letdown valve, MUV-49: the HPI pump discharge crosstie valves, i MUV-3 and MUV-9: and the turbine-driven emergency feedwater pump. EFP- ;
The inspector had considered that further review was needed to determine l when these components were out of service for maintenance or l
,
surveillance testing with the )lant in Mode 4 or above during the last i l three years, and in each case low TS compliance was effecte ;
b. Observations and Findinas The inspectors further reviewed the TS and noted that TS 3.5.2 required l that two Emergency Cure Cooling System (ECCS) trains shall be operable in Modes 1, 2 and 3. However. TS Bases 3.5.2, ECCS-Operating, addressed the fact that the HPI system downstream of the HPI pumps was not ,
l separable into two distinct trains. It states that when components '
become inoperable, an assessment of the HPI system to perform its safety function must be performed. If the system can continue to perform its safety function, without assuming a single active failure, then the 72 hour loss of redundancy ACTION is appropriate. If the inoperability
, renders the system, as is, incapable of performing its safety function, l without postulating a single active failure, then the plant is in a !
l- condition outside the safety analysis and must enter into Limiting ,
Condition for Operation (LCO) 3.0.3 immediately. The inspectors l l assessed that each one of the subject components could be inoperabl I and with nc other components inoperable at the same time, the system ;
could meet the stated criteria for use of the 72-hour ACTION statemen j
. The inspectors noted that TS 3.7.5 required that two EFW trains be operable in Modes 1. 2 and 3: TS 3.8.1 required that two Emergency Diesel Generators (EDGs) be operable in Modes 1, 2, 3 and 4. However, neither these TS nor their bases address the cross-train dependency of the A EDG on the B train turbine-driven emergency feedwater pump. The l
r l
inspectors verified that the licensee )lanned to submit to the NRC a recuest for a TS revision to address t1is cross-train dependency. In adcition, the licensee had the issue identified on their restart list (items R-2 and D-29-B), and already had a draft of the TS revisio The inspectors reviewed selected records of maintenance and surveillance testing performed on these components during the previous two years while the plant was operating. The inspectors found that in each case when one of the com)onents had been placed out of service for maintenance while t1e plant was operating the appropriate TS LCO ACTION statement was entered and logged in the Shift Supervisor's log. Also, other equipment was not inappropriately logged out of service at the same time. The inspectors noted that most of these components were rarely taken out of service for maintenance while the plant was operating, with one exception. EFP-2 had been out of service for online maintenance on several occasions, for repeated packing leakage and oil quality problems. On further review of the EFP-2 maintenance problems, the inspectors found that the licensee had addressed the packing leakage problem by installing a different ty)e of packing. The different packing had resolved the packing leacage poblem and also apparently resolved the oil quality problem (the last three cuarterly oil samples from EFP-2 had tested good). The engineers statec that past Jacking leakage had apparently caused moisture to get into the oil, w1ich in turn had caused high acidity in the oil, Conclusions The inspectors concluded that online maintenance and surveillance of active components that were relied upon by both trains was adequately controlled, with the exception of the TS not addressing the cross-train dependency of the A EDG on the B train EFP-2. However, the licensee was actively addressing this issue by drafting a TS amendment request, and had included it on their restart list. Also, the licensee had addressed past maintenance problems with EFP-2. URI 50-302/97-01-06 is close The inspectors assessed the licensee's performance, with respect to this issue, in the five areas of continuing NRC concern:

      .

i
. Design calculations for CCHE leakage through dampers, doors and penetrations; including assumed differential pressures across ventilation dampers.
,
* Procedures for emergency repairs to dampers susceptible to single failure (as committed to by the licensee in response to NUREG 0737. Item III.D.3.4.).
* Design calculations for operator dose and how they account for at least two hours of time to repair dampers susceptible to single failure (per NUREG Item III.D.3.4).
b. Observations and Findinas 1) The inspectors had previously noted that design calculations for CCHE leakage included differential pressures across Dampers D-1 and D-2 that did not appear to be correct. The licensee's calculated pressure on the inside of CCHE isolation Damper D-1 was minus 1.0 inches of water gauge (w.g.) and the calculated pressure on the inside of CCHE isolation Damper D-2 was plus 0.67 inches w.g. However, with the control room emergency ventilation system (CREVS) in emergency recirculation. Dampers D-1 and 0-2 were separated by only a few feet of ventilation ducting and fully open Damper D-3. Using vendor damper information. the inspectors calculated that the pressure dro) across fully o)en Damper D-3 (and the difference in pressure aetween D-1 and 3-2) would be ,

the licensee's calculated pressures of minus 1.0 and plus 0.67 inches w.g. (a difference in pressure between D-1 and D-2 of 1.67 inches w.g.) were apparently not correct.

E  through 1989 regarding Item III.D.3.4, the licensee did not commit to comply with the Standard Review Plan but did commit to have procedures for operators to address the potential failure of dampers that are susceptible to single failur . It concluded, in pages inserted by Rev. 8 in 1996, that if operators do not start an emergency recirculation fan until 30 minutes after event initiation, then the calculated 30-day post-accident operator dose will be either 22.65 REM, 22.696 REM or 14.147 REM based on the use of different assumptions.

for dose from reactor building (RB) leakage and ECCS leakage, were different than the assumptions ~ used in the previous calculation of 29.49 REM discussed in a) abov The purpose statement'in front of the calculation stated that International Commission on Radiation Protection (ICRP)

calculation, discussed above. calculated the value of filtered leakage to be 191 CFM. Also, Calculation I-92-0011 assumed that filtered leakage was 70 CF c.

b. Observations and Findinas With regard to the vital inverters, the " battery supplying load" alarm went to the alarm condition on several occasions concomitant with starting 193 kW chiller CHHE-1A. The purpose of this alarm was to warn o)erators that the source of power for the inverters had switched from t1e normal 480 Volts Alternating Current (VAC) source to the backup 125 Volts Direct Current (VDC) source. The inspectors were concerned that these events represented a problem with overall system voltage or the SLUR set poin The following facts were determined during this inspection. Channels A i and C inverters were replaced during the spring 1996 outage due to aging concerns with the original inverters under MARS 93-05-07-03 and 04. The i original inverters had an alarm driven by a contact making ammeter, which gave indication that the DC system was supplying power to the -
inverter. Due to the way that the specification for the new A and C !
inverters was written, the manufacturer supplied a " battery supplying l load" alarm driven by a voltage relay sensing voltage at the DC input I and set at 127 VD After installation, the circuit was revised to !
sense voltage at a point between the AC source rectifier and the DC auctioneering diodes and set at 135 VD j The various related voltages were:
Normal voltage at output of AC source rectifier - 139 VDC
.
      !
. Voltage alarm set point - 135 VDC (97 percent of normal source)
. Charger float voltage - 130 VDC (93.5 percent of normal source).
It was estimated by the ins)ector that starting a 193 kW chiller, which was fed from the same bus tlat feeds the inverter, would cause bus l voltage to dro) below 97 percent of normal. Power conditioning equipment in t1e inverter upstream of the voltage relay were a transformer and silicon controlled rectifiers (SCRs). Review of the information in the instruction manual led to the conclusion that this equipment was not designed to completely filter out motor starting voltage dip transients. Therefore, given the arrangement of the voltage relay, normal expected transients, such as motor starting and system disturbances, would be expected to operate the relay. The voltage relay would go to alarm state only momentarily. then return to normal condition. Confirmation of inverter rectifier circuit operation in response to motor start trarsients was restart item D-47. The licensee planned to confirm operation by consulting with the manufacturer and
,
performing on-site tests.
l The inverters for channels B and D were in the on-site warehouse. and i they had been modified by the manufacturer to use current sensing for i the "DC supplying load" alarm. This modification would eliminate the alarm upon motor starting. Installation of inverters B and D was restart item M-7. Engineers stated that modification of the "DC

source and the backup DC source. depending on the relative voltage  I
- levels', the inspector reviewed battery and emergency generator loading  i vis-a-vis the inverter loads. By review of Battery and Charger Sizing  !
Calculation. E-90-0099, Rev 2, the inspector confirmed that the    ,
inverters were carried as a load for 2 hours in the Loss of Coolan '

the alarm' response procedure was not correct or not consistent with  j cther documents for three of the event point t l
[ The indicated condition for-event point 0164 was given in terms of  l
'
current rather than voltage. As previously discussed, the MAR revised this event point from current sensing to voltage sensing. The set point for event point 0169 was given as 168 A, but the MAR functional test  .
package indicated that the relay was set at 200 A. The set point for  !
event point 0189 was given as 114 V, but the MAR functional test package  !
indicated that the_ relay was set at 111.5 V. The inspector then  i determined that the MAR package indirectly specified the set points  ;
associated with the inverters by stating that the set _ points for the new  i inverters would remain the same as for the original int rters. This was  :
a valid statement except for event point 0169 which was changed from  1 current sensing to voltage sensing. Apparently, the set point    l'

Conclusions The overall conclusion with regard to inspection of the subject issue I was that the observed inverter related alarms, simultaneous with  !
starting of certain motors did not represent any problem with system !
voltage or the SLUR set point which was the concern stated in the IF l Therefore. IFI 50-302/96-201-16 is closed. As a result of reviewing this issue, the NRC identified that certain annunciator response  I procedures contained incorrect information, and a violation was issued for this problem. This )roblem was caused by deficiencies in the modification process. T1ere had been differences of opinion within the licensee's organization about the significance of the momentary inverter l trouble alarm occurring in conjunction with starting large motor l Design Engineering thought that the alarm could indicate the inverter I was not performing as designe System Engineering thought the inverter was working as designed.

During review of the corrective actions, the inspector noted that the licensee had completed the evaluation of alternatives to the non-isolated design of the control circuits for reactor building Purge Valves AHV-1A and AHV-1D. This evaluation (conclusions documented in licensee interoffice correspondence (IOC) N0E96-0201, dated December 12. 1996) determined that the resolution for isolation discrepancies of Purge Valves AHV-1A and AHV-]D would also Nguire a design modification which could involve pullino new cables and upgrading or installing new equipmen Durint further review, the inspector noted that one of the problem reporcs initiated for this issue (PR 95-0223) indicated that the completion date for the evaluation had been extended from December 20, 1996, to May 31. 1998. The inspector discussed this PR with licensee Jersonnel who indicated that the evaluation had been completed in Jecember 1996 as discussed in IOC N0E96-0201, and the May 31. 1998 date was the scheduled date for implementation of the modification. The inspector noted that this item had recently been evaluated by the licensee and included on the restart list for im)lementation of the modification prior to restart from the current slutdown. Licensee personnel further indicated that although the evaluation was completed in December 1996. they did not supplement LER 50-302/95-025-01 or VIO 50-302/95-21-03 by December 20, 1996, as was stated by the licensee in earlier responses to these items (su)plement 01 to the LER dated December 22, 1995, and response to t7e VIO dated March 25, 1996). The licensee initiated n eursor card PC 97-2413 to address the failure to supplement the LER and VIO by December 20, 199 The inspector considered the l u nsee's handling of the supplements to the LER and VIO to be a weakness in cne licensee's commitment tracking process. The inspector informed the licensee that this new issue will be identified and tracked as URI 50-302/97 05-04. LER and Violation not Supplemented

.. Conclusions -
.
e The inspector concluded that the licensee had completed some of the  j
,  specified corrective actions to address this item, including the
:  evaluation of alternatives to the non-isolated design of the control  ;
l circuits for reactor building Purge Valves AHV-1A and AHV-1D. Howeve l the. licensee did not supplement LER 50-302/95-025-01 or VIO 50-302/95-  j 21-03 by December 20, 1996, as was stated in the previous responses to  i the LER and VIO. The licensee's handling of these LER and VIO  -
supplements demonstrated a weakness in the licensee's commitment tracking process which was identified as an unresolved ite The inspector assessed the licensee's performance, with respect to this issue, in the five areas of continuing NRC concern:
  . Management Oversight - Adequate
  *- Engineering Effectiveness - Adequate    1
  -* Knowledge of the Design Basis'- N/A e Compliance with Regulations - Adequate e Operator. Performance - N/A IVm Plant Sucoort  ,

R1- Radiological Protection and Chemistry (RP&C) Controls R1.1 General Comments (71750)    j i
The inspectors conducted routine tours of the licensee's radiologically controlled areas (RCA) and verified radiological controls such as control of locked areas, surveys and postings, and access control Daily shutdown chemistry results were reviewed during normal work day No )roblems were noted in these area Radiation areas were clearly marced and controlle The inspectors observed that daily priority is placed on tracking of radiological exposure against outage goals. The licensee has been
  . refining their goals and predictions and results were significantly  1 improve The inspectors also noted that Health Physics management  4 responded strongly and a)propriately to an incident where food wrappers  l were found in the RCA. ianagement expectations and intolerance for
,

The inspectors reviewed the results of an off-hours staffing drill conducted on April 24. observed a quarterly drill conducted on May and discussed pending changes with licensee Emergency Preparedness j personnel, b. Observations and Findinas The licensee performed the unannounced, off-hours staffing drill of the Technical Support Center (TSC) and Emergency Offsite Facility (EOF) at 7:33 p.m. on April 24. The licensee required individuals to respond to the site to assess the time needed to activate the facilities with an adequate staff against the 60 minute requirement. The TSC and EOF were
; operational yithin 49 and 37 minutes, respectively. The inspector l
!
reviewed the results. confirmed the response was satisfactory, and )
concluded it was a valid and proactive test of the ability to respond to an actual even The licensee has also revised their normal event drill schedule to increase the frequency of drills to quarterly and include a full TSC activation which will include use of the control room simulator. The l inspectors observed the first of these drills on May 1 at both the simulator and the TSC. The inspectors noted that the overall drill went well, efficient manning and use of the TSC was demonstrated good command and control and formal three-way communication between operators was evident at the simulator, and a self-critical post-drill critique was done immediately following the drill. The ability of the operating
,
,
crew in the simulator to establish an accurate steam generator tube leak
'
rate for the scenario using only plant parameters was considered a example of good o)erator performance. The inspectors did note two l deficiencies at tle TSC. Two phone lines shared by the TSC with other organizations did not function during the drill because the other i
organizations had relocated the phone lines and the loss of the TSC l phone line was not recognized. The licensee was correcting the problem.
l The other deficiency was the lack of a plant status board in the TSC to
!
indicate basic plant parameters. The inspectors noted that several TSC staff members had to ask the Emergency Director basic plant status questions such as the condition of reactor coolant system (RCS) letdown and the time since subtriticality of the core was obtained. These parameters would be readily apparent if a status board was used. The licensee was considering adding a status board along with many other ponding TSC equipment and layout changes.

c. Conclusion The inspectors concluded emergency preparedness activities were performed well. Only minor deficiencf " were observe S2 Status of Security Facilities and Equipment S2.1 Loss of Power to Central Alarm Station Eauioment a. Insnection Scone (71750)
The inspectors reviewed the following procedures:
* SS-201. Revision 29. Security Force Personnel General Order Duties, and Responsibilities
. SS-300. Revision 24. Security Equipment Testing. Calibratio Inspection, and Maintenance The inspectors also reviewed the security logs and Security Information Reports related to the event (s). Several security officers, supervisors managers, and electrical maintenance and engineering personnel were interviewed to aid in understanding the sequence of events and the setup of equipment.
 
l b. Observations and Findinas At approximately 14:48 on April 17 power was unexpectedly lost to the central alarm station (CAS) workstations and an intelligent multiplexer (IMUX-2) due to some troubleshooting being performed on vital bus transformer VBTR-4C. An uninterru)tible power supply (UPS) is utilized in the system to assist in a smoot1 transfer of power from one source to another (i .e. , inverter to transformer, or inverter to inverter). The UPS is not an alternate source of )ower for the CAS workstatio The loss of power occurred when the 5BR breaker on VBTR-4C was closed and the UPS sensed a loss of voltage while the transfer switch " lined-up" the voltages from the transformer and inverter before completing the i switch. This "line-up" takes only a fraction of a second but did not '
occur fast enough to 3revent the loss of the CAS workstation & IMU Also at this Joint, tie UPS transferred to its backup supply ( batteries) tius repowering the CAS workstations and IMUX-2. However, it was unbeknownst to anyone that the UPS continued to run on its l battery supply.
 
.
l At approximately 18:03 on A]ril 17. power was again lost to the CAS l workstations and IMUX- T11s time there was not any maintenance
! activity ongoing that could have contributed to the power loss. Upon investigation by electrical maintenance personnel (19:11) it was discovered that the UPS had powered itself down after running out the i batteries. After the first power loss. the UPS had failed to auto 1 transfer to its normal ]ower, thereby running on batteries for about three hours. When the JPS was reset, power was immediately restored to the CAS workstations and IMUX-2.

At approximately 22:10 on April 17. power was lost to the CAS workstations & IMUX-2 for a third time. Again, there was.not any maintenance activity ongoing that could have contributed to the power loss. The UPS was reset by security personnel and power was restore It was not clear what occurred to cause the UPS to trip a third tim Security declared a " security alert" during the first and second power losses. This required the establishment of extra roving and posting of officers within a prescribed time period. During the third power loss, since security had already gone through two other power losses, they knew what to do (reset UPS), therefore no security alert was declare Security wrote PC 97-2708 to docament the first power lost. This PC was assigned a " grade of C" which means an apparent cause evaluation is necessary. The apparent cause evaluation is due after the end of this inspection period. Security had not requested any other assistance from i engineering until questioned by the inspecto Conclusions    i Engineering continues to evaluate the purpose of the UPS in the system ;
and will determine whether it needs to be replaced or removed. The ins)ectors will further review the issues and events surrounding this pro)lem to determine if appropriate corrective actions are taken to prevent recurrence. The inspectors concluded the loss of power to the equipment revealed a security staff lack of familiarity with the operation and function of their installed equipment. Security ,
management also did not appropriately prioritize the issue and obtain adequate timely resolution from other departments, so final resolution of the problem is still pending.

S2.2 Security Comouter Ooeratina System Run-Time Exoiration (71750)
i
!
On April 25. Security was notified by the Information Technology group, who l received the information from a manufacturer (Digital Equipment Corporation). i warning that the VAX security computer operating system was designed and installed with a run-time library that only allows a four digit entry (i. days). Since the system was installed in 1970, the 9999 days are running out (May 19, 1997, was the run-out date) and the potential exists for the <
system to shutdown when this time expires. Security wrote Precursor Card 97-2035 to document the proble )
,
The vendor. Sysica, will supply a " patch" to prevent an interruption in the I run-time library logic. The " patch" will be installed and tested on a j i different computer before installation on the security com) uter. DEC has ;
t notified other VAX users of this problem and the licensee las contacted three i other utilities which have similar systems (BG&E. Duane Arnold. & Pilgrim). !
-
The licensing department has determined that the problem is not reportable under 10 CFR Part 50.9(b) or 10 CFR Part 21. The reason for not reporting this information is that security is not encompassed by Part 21 requirements
