==INSPECTION RESULTS== | ==INSPECTION RESULTS== | ||
Observation: Common Unit, Auxiliary Feedwater Piping Corrosion of Exterior | Observation: Common Unit, Auxiliary Feedwater Piping Corrosion of Exterior Piping 71152 Over the past year there have been several operational vulnerabilities associated with the auxiliary feedwater (AFW) system. During the assessment period another AFW pipe wall thickness being near or below minimum associated with AFW piping corrosion was found that had the potential to impact the supply of feedwater to allow the steam generators to remove primary system stored heat and residual core energy (decay heat). Several instances of significant corrosion and degraded pipe thickness have been found over the past year. The AFW system is designed to automatically start and supply sufficient feedwater to prevent the relief of primary coolant through the pressurizer safety valves. The AFW system has an adequate suction source and flow capacity to maintain the reactor at hot standby for a period of time and then cool the reactor coolant system to a temperature at which the residual heat removal system may be placed in operation. While specific piping areas were near or below minimum wall thickness and heavily corroded, the AFW system met operability requirements but was acknowledged to require repair or replacement. | ||
The inspectors reviewed licensee corrective actions associated with Corrective Action Notification 51112395, 2R22 AFW Line 570 Corrosion; Notification 51091806, 1R22 AFW Pipe Support Degraded 3-40R; and Notification 51086361, 2R22 TDAFWP Line 593.

Observation: High Nitrogen Usage in Unit 2 Containment | Observation: High Nitrogen Usage in Unit 2 Containment 71152 Over the past year there have been several operational vulnerabilities associated with questionable containment atmosphere and high nitrogen usage. During the assessment period a leaking accumulator relief valve was found. Several instances of impeded containment atmosphere and accumulator leaks have been found over the past year. The cold leg accumulators consist of four tanks filled with borated water and pressurized with nitrogen that inject borated water into the reactor vessel in the event of a loss of coolant accident. While accumulator nitrogen leakage occurred, the accumulators met operability requirements but were an operational burden, impacting containment atmosphere. | ||

SUMMARY
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) continued monitoring the licensees performance by conducting an integrated inspection at Diablo Canyon Power Plant, Units 1 and 2, in accordance with the Reactor Oversight Process. The Reactor Oversight Process is the NRCs program for overseeing the safe operation of commercial nuclear power reactors.
Refer to https://www.nrc.gov/reactors/operating/oversight.html for more information.
List of Findings and Violations
No findings or violations of more than minor significance were identified.
Additional Tracking Items
None.
PLANT STATUS
Unit 1 operated at or near rated thermal power for the entire inspection period with the exceptions of reducing power to approximately 50 percent for both intake channel dredging on April 26 through 27, 2021, and on May 27 through 28, 2021, for main condenser tube plugging.
Unit 2 entered the inspection period shut down due to a hydrogen leak in the main turbine generator and a refueling outage. Unit 2 started up on April 16, 2021, and achieved approximately 50 percent power prior to shutting down on April 19, 2021, to address main turbine stator cooling issues. Unit 2 returned to full power on April 29, 2021, and operated at or near rated thermal power for the rest of the inspection period.
INSPECTION SCOPES
Inspections were conducted using the appropriate portions of the inspection procedures (IPs) in effect at the beginning of the inspection unless otherwise noted. Currently approved IPs with their attached revision histories are located on the public website at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/doc-collections/insp-manual/inspection-procedure/index.html. Samples were declared complete when the IP requirements most appropriate to the inspection activity were met consistent with Inspection Manual Chapter (IMC) 2515, Light-Water Reactor Inspection Program - Operations Phase. The inspectors reviewed selected procedures and records, observed activities, and interviewed personnel to assess licensee performance and compliance with Commission rules and regulations, license conditions, site procedures, and standards.
Starting on March 20, 2020, in response to the National Emergency declared by the President of the United States on the public health risks of the coronavirus (COVID-19), resident and regional inspectors were directed to begin telework and to remotely access licensee information using available technology. During this time, the resident inspectors performed periodic site visits each week, increasing the amount of time on site as local COVID-19 conditions permitted.
As part of their onsite activities, resident inspectors conducted plant status activities as described in IMC 2515, Appendix D; observed risk-significant activities; and completed on site portions of IPs. In addition, resident and regional baseline inspections were evaluated to determine if all or a portion of the objectives and requirements stated in the IP could be performed remotely. If the inspections could be performed remotely, they were conducted per the applicable IP. In some cases, portions of an IP were completed remotely and on site. The inspections documented below met the objectives and requirements for completion of the IP.

INSPECTION RESULTS
Observation: Common Unit, Auxiliary Feedwater Piping Corrosion of Exterior Piping 71152 Over the past year there have been several operational vulnerabilities associated with the auxiliary feedwater (AFW) system. During the assessment period another AFW pipe wall thickness being near or below minimum associated with AFW piping corrosion was found that had the potential to impact the supply of feedwater to allow the steam generators to remove primary system stored heat and residual core energy (decay heat). Several instances of significant corrosion and degraded pipe thickness have been found over the past year. The AFW system is designed to automatically start and supply sufficient feedwater to prevent the relief of primary coolant through the pressurizer safety valves. The AFW system has an adequate suction source and flow capacity to maintain the reactor at hot standby for a period of time and then cool the reactor coolant system to a temperature at which the residual heat removal system may be placed in operation. While specific piping areas were near or below minimum wall thickness and heavily corroded, the AFW system met operability requirements but was acknowledged to require repair or replacement.
The inspectors reviewed licensee corrective actions associated with Corrective Action Notification 51112395, 2R22 AFW Line 570 Corrosion; Notification 51091806, 1R22 AFW Pipe Support Degraded 3-40R; and Notification 51086361, 2R22 TDAFWP Line 593. The inspectors assessed the following performance attributes in their review:
- Complete and accurate identification of the problem in a timely manner commensurate with its safety significance and ease of discovery
- Consideration of the extent of condition, generic implications, common cause, and previous occurrences
- Evaluation and disposition of operability/functionality/reportability issues
- Classification and prioritization of the resolution of the problem commensurate with safety significance
- Identification of corrective actions, which were appropriately focused to correct the problem
- Completion of corrective actions in a timely manner commensurate with the safety significance of the issue The inspectors selected these samples due to the operability impact associated with the auxiliary feedwater system, a safety significant system. Inspectors focused review of the above attributes on the licensees corrective actions associated with the above notifications and several others. Inspectors did not identify any significant trends that might indicate the existence of a more significant safety concern that had not been previously addressed by the licensee, nor did the inspectors identify any performance deficiency with this issue.
Observation: High Nitrogen Usage in Unit 2 Containment 71152 Over the past year there have been several operational vulnerabilities associated with questionable containment atmosphere and high nitrogen usage. During the assessment period a leaking accumulator relief valve was found. Several instances of impeded containment atmosphere and accumulator leaks have been found over the past year. The cold leg accumulators consist of four tanks filled with borated water and pressurized with nitrogen that inject borated water into the reactor vessel in the event of a loss of coolant accident. While accumulator nitrogen leakage occurred, the accumulators met operability requirements but were an operational burden, impacting containment atmosphere.
The inspectors reviewed licensee corrective actions associated with Corrective Action Notification 51114406, Relief Valve RV-358 in U2 Containment is Leaking Nitrogen; Notification 51107259, Unexpected Drop in U2 Containment O2; Notification 51105994, Low Oxygen Alarm U2 Containment; and Notification 51101151, Continued Declining O2 Levels U2 Containment. The inspectors assessed the following performance attributes in their review:
- Complete and accurate identification of the problem in a timely manner commensurate with its safety significance and ease of discovery
- Consideration of the extent of condition, generic implications, common cause, and previous occurrences
- Evaluation and disposition of operability/functionality/reportability issues
- Classification and prioritization of the resolution of the problem commensurate with safety significance
- Identification of corrective actions, which were appropriately focused to correct the problem
- Completion of corrective actions in a timely manner commensurate with the safety significance of the issue
