==SUBJECT:==
FERMI 2 NUCLEAR POWER STATION NRC INTEGRATED INSPECTION REPORT 50-341/02-11
 
==Dear Mr. OConnor:==
On December 28, 2002, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed an integrated inspection at your Fermi 2 Nuclear Power Station. The enclosed report documents inspection findings which were discussed on January 10, 2002, with you, Mr. Cobb, and other members of your staff.
 
The inspection examined activities conducted under your license as they relate to safety and to compliance with the Commissions rules and regulations and with the conditions of your license.
 
The inspectors reviewed selected procedures and records, observed activities, and interviewed personnel.
 
Based on the results of this inspection, no findings of significance were identified.
 
Since the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001, the NRC has issued two Orders (dated February 25, 2002, and January 7, 2003) and several threat advisories to licensees of commercial power reactors to strengthen licensee capabilities, improve security force readiness, and enhance access authorization. The NRC also issued Temporary Instruction 2515/148 on August 28, 2002, that provided guidance to inspectors to audit and inspect licensee implementation of the interim compensatory measures (ICMs) required by the February 25th Order. Phase 1 of TI 2515/148 was completed at all commercial nuclear power reactors during calendar year (CY) 02, and the remaining inspections are scheduled for completion in CY 03. Additionally, table-top security drills were conducted at several licensees to evaluate the impact of expanded adversary characteristics and the ICMs on licensee protection and mitigative strategies. Information gained and discrepancies identified during the audits and drills were reviewed and dispositioned by the Office of Nuclear Security and Incident Response. For CY 03, the NRC will continue to monitor overall safeguards and security controls and conduct inspections, and will resume force-on-force exercises at selected power plants. Should threat conditions change, the NRC may issue additional Orders, advisories, and temporary instructions to ensure adequate safety is being maintained at all commercial nuclear power reactors. In accordance with 10 CFR 2.790 of the NRC's "Rules of Practice," a copy of this letter and its enclosure will be available electronically for public inspection in the NRC Public Document Room or from the Publicly Available Records (PARS) component of NRCs document system (ADAMS). ADAMS is accessible from the NRC Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adms.html (the Public Electronic Reading Room).

=REPORT DETAILS=
 
===Summary of Plant Status===
At the start of the inspection period, Fermi 2 operated at 100 percent power. On October 2, 2002, the reactor automatically scrammed, and the main turbine generator tripped on loss of main condenser vacuum due to loss of the No. 2 circulating water pump and failure of its associated discharge valve to close. Following the execution of pre-planned forced-outage priority work requests while in hot shutdown, the reactor was then restarted and power was returned to 100 percent on October 6, 2002. On December 3, 2002, reactor power was decreased to 83 percent to remove the No. 3 circulating water pump from service due to increase in vibration. Reactor power was able to be increased to 100 percent on December 4, 2002, with three of the five circulating water pumps in service, due to low ambient temperature and low condenser back pressure. Reactor power was decreased to 55 percent on December 21, 2002, to perform control rod pattern adjustments, turbine control and stop valve testing, turbine bypass availability testing, control rod scram insert time testing and other planned maintenance activities. Reactor power was increased to 100 percent on December 22, 2002. On December 23, 2002, reactor power was decreased to 91 percent to complete a control rod pattern adjustment and returned to near 100 percent. On December 28, 2002, at 2:46 am, voltage regulation for distribution cabinet motor power unit (MPU) 3 began to fail, which impacted balance of plant equipment including control rod movement. The operators inserted a manual scram and entered Mode 3. A jumper was installed around the MPU No. 3 voltage regulator and forced-outage maintenance work was conducted. At the end of the inspection period, the plant remained shut down and in Mode

==1R12 Maintenance Rule Implementation==
{{IP sample|IP=IP 71111.12B}}
Periodic Evaluation
 
====a. Inspection Scope====
The objective of the inspection was to:
* Verify that the periodic evaluation was completed within the time restraints defined in 10 CFR 50.65, the Maintenance Rule (once per refueling cycle, not to exceed 2 years), ensuring that the licensee reviewed its goals, monitoring, preventive maintenance activities, industry operating experience, and made appropriate adjustments as a result of that review;
* Verify that the licensee balanced reliability and unavailability during the previous refueling cycle, including a review of safety significant structures, systems, and components (SSC);
* Verify that (a)(1) goals were met, corrective actions were appropriate to correct the defective condition including the use of industry operating experience, and (a)(1) activities and related goals were adjusted as needed; and
* Verify that the licensee has established (a)(2) performance criteria, examined any SSCs that failed to meet their performance criteria, or reviewed any SSCs that have suffered repeated maintenance preventable functional failures including a verification that failed SSCs were considered for (a)(1).
 
The inspectors examined the last two periodic evaluation reports for the time frames May 1999 through September 2000, and October 2000 through April 2002. To evaluate the effectiveness of (a)(1) and (a)(2) activities, the inspectors examined (a)(1) action plans, justifications for returning SSCs from (a)(1) to (a)(2), and a number of CARDs (contained in the list of documents at the end of this report). In addition, the CARDs were reviewed to verify that the threshold for identification of problems was at an appropriate level and the associated corrective actions were appropriate. The inspectors focused the inspection on the following systems:
* Emergency Equipment Cooling Water
* Residual Heat Removal
* Residual Heat Removal Service Water
* Reactor Core Isolation Cooling In addition, the inspectors reviewed three self-assessments that addressed maintenance rule implementation at Fermi.
 
====b. Findings====
No findings of significance were identified. {{a|1R13}}
 
==1R13 Maintenance Risk Assessments and Emergent Work Evaluation==
{{IP sample|IP=IP 71111.13}}
Emergent Work Activities
 
====a. Inspection Scope====
The inspectors reviewed the licensees evaluation of risk, activity scheduling, configuration control, and emergent work to ensure that plant risk was appropriately managed. The inspectors verified that licensee actions, such as establishing compensatory actions, minimizing the duration of the activity, obtaining appropriate management approval, and informing appropriate plant staff to address increased online risk during these periods were accomplished when needed. The following work week activities were reviewed:
Work Week Reviewed Systems Out-of-Service During Work Week Week of November 17, 2002 Potential Part 21 Reportable Condition: Non-Conservative T-Min Setpoint in Oscillating Power Range Monitor System Week of November 24, 2002 High Bearing Temperature Division 2 Control Center Heating Ventilation and Air Conditioning (CCHVAC) Return Air Fan Inboard Bearing Week of December 1, 2002 Unexpected Closure of No. 3 High Pressure Control Valve Week of December 1, 2002 Motor Generator Set Brushes Sticking in Brush Boxes
 
====a. Findings====
No findings of significance were identified. {{a|1R14}}
 
==1R14 Nonroutine Plant Evolutions==
{{IP sample|IP=IP 71111.14}}
 
===1. Automatic Scram from a Loss of Circulating Pump No. 2===
====a. Inspection Scope====
On October 2, 2002, the inspectors observed control room personnel respond to the failures of circulating water pump No. 2 and its associated discharge valve to close.
 
These failures caused most of the condenser cooling flow to be diverted to the circulating water pond. The loss of cooling flow caused a loss of condenser vacuum and the turbine tripped followed by an automatic scram of the unit. The inspectors determined by direct observation and a review of procedural requirements, that proper procedures (emergency operating, abnormal operating and annunciator response) were followed, operator actions were independently verified, repeat-backs were performed, operations personnel were complying with procedures and Technical Specifications, and that plant parameters were as expected for each operating condition.
 
====a. Findings====
No findings of significance were identified.
 
===2. Manual Plant Scram due to a Loss of Motor Power Unit (MPU) No. 3===
====a. Inspection Scope====
On December 28, 2002, the voltage regulator inside MPU No. 3 power distribution cabinet failed impacting several balance-of-plant equipment indicators, alarms and recorders. Operations personnel decided to conduct a controlled shutdown of the unit.
 
However, insufficient voltage from MPU No. 3 prevented the insertion of Control Rod 22-47. In response, the operators placed the mode switch in shutdown, scrammed the unit from about 73 percent power and entered Mode 3. The inspectors reviewed drawings, procedures, Technical Specifications, system training manuals, the UFSAR, any available trend recorders and data to determine whether operator response to the event was appropriate and if equipment responded as expected.
 
====b. Findings====
No findings of significance were identified. {{a|1R15}}
 
==1R15 Operability Evaluations==
{{IP sample|IP=IP 71111.15}}
 
===.1 Drywell Cooling Fans Vibration Alarm Setpoint Change===
====a. Inspection Scope====
During the next refueling outage, the licensee plans to implement a technical service request to change the drywell cooling fans vibration alarm setpoint. Recently, the drywell cooling fans have been sending nuisance alarms to the control room. The alarm setpoints of drywell vibration detectors T47N001A through D, G, and H through N appear to be set too low. The vibration switches sense acceleration and are sensitive to higher frequency such as blade pass. These switches can only be adjusted during refueling outages at a time when the drywell temperature is much lower than during plant operation. The switches are set above background vibration which then changes with an increase in ambient temperature. The fan casing to blade clearances can change which affects the vibration at pass frequency. The switches can therefore be set too close to normal background vibration while at power. Engineering evaluations of vibration parameters indicate that a real vibration issue does not exist. Condition Assessment Resolution Document 02-12902 was written to document the concern.
 
The inspectors reviewed documents associated with the drywell cooling fan vibration alarm setpoint change. The inspectors reviewed the licensees operability determination and future actions for eliminating the cause of the high vibration nuisance alarms.
 
====b. Findings====
No findings of significance were identified.
 
===.2 High Pressure Coolant Injection Engineering Functional Analysis, Potential Opening===
Transient on Turbine Stop Valve E4100F067
 
====a. Inspection Scope====
During a surveillance run of the high pressure coolant injection (HPCI), the system engineer noted a loud mechanical noise. Review and discussions with the system supplier design engineer indicated the evidence of a stop valve opening transient on E4100F067, HPCI turbine stop valve. The phenomenon was characterized by the valve being catapulted open and then closed due to the setpoint of the valve balancing chamber being too low. The phenomenon occurs quickly and does not significantly affect the system response time. However, repetitive operation under these conditions can result in damage to the valve seat, stem and hydraulic cylinder seal. Safety function analysis of this condition indicated that the HPCI system remained capable of meeting the single failure criterion and thus capable of event mitigation. In the interim, until the balance chamber pressure can be increased, the engineering functional analysis specified that no planned auto initiation of the HPCI system should be performed.
 
====b. Findings====
No findings of significance were identified.
 
===.3 Part 21 Reportable Condition:===
Non-Conservative T-Min Setpoint in Oscillating Power Range Monitor System
 
====a. Inspection Scope====
On November 21, 2002, General Electric notified the licensee that the oscillating power range monitor could be set non-conservatively. The Fermi 2 oscillating power range monitor system was set at 1.4 seconds, meaning that any oscillation having a period of less than 1.4 seconds would not be detected by the oscillating power range monitor system as a potential thermal hydraulic instability. The inspectors reviewed CARD 02-18019 to determine if the evaluation was technically adequate and justifiable.
 
The inspectors reviewed immediate actions of declaring the system inoperable and verified that the setpoint changes were done per plant procedures.
 
====b. Findings====
No findings of significance were identified. {{a|1R16}}
 
==1R16 Operator Work-Arounds==
{{IP sample|IP=IP 71111.16}}
 
====a. Inspection Scope====
The inspectors reviewed an operator workaround to manually control feedwater heater levels to compensate for poor performance of feedwater heater level controls. Further, the inspectors reviewed the cumulative effects of operator workarounds that could affect multiple mitigating systems. The cumulative effects of operator workarounds on the ability of operators to respond in a correct and timely manner to plant transients and accidents were also evaluated.
 
====b. Findings====
No findings of significance were identified. {{a|1R17}}
 
==1R17 Permanent Plant Modifications==
{{IP sample|IP=IP 71111.17}}
 
====a. Inspection Scope====
Engineering Design Package 29475, Install Service Water Orifice Plate, was reviewed for adequacy of the evaluation, disposition, and conclusion. The modification was to reduce the number of operating service water pumps to maintain the EECW makeup system operable while on the service water cooling tower bypass mode.
 
====c. Findings====
No findings of significance were identified. {{a|1R19}}
 
==1R19 Post Maintenance Testing==
{{IP sample|IP=IP 71111.19}}
 
====a. Inspection Scope====
The inspectors reviewed and observed the following post-maintenance testing activities involving risk significant equipment in the Mitigating Systems cornerstones:
* Procedure 24.413.03, Division 2 CCHVAC 10-Hour Operability Test
* Procedure 24.409.01, Division 2 Post Loss of Coolant Accident Thermal Recombiner Functional Test
* Procedure 24.220.04, Division 2 Hydrogen Recombiner Heater Test and Inspection, observed 11/16/02
* Procedure 24.220.04, Division 2 Hydrogen Recombiner Heater Test and Inspection, observed 12/7/02
* PEP-016, Reactor Vessel Internals Management Program
* 000Z014374, Center Turbine Building Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning Fan Vibration
* 000Z014716, Division 1 Auxiliary Building Switchgear Air Conditioning Unit Not Working Properly

* 000Z021716, Reroute Standby Feed Water Pump B Lube Oil Supply Piping per TSR-31835, Revision B The inspectors verified that the post-maintenance test was adequate for the scope of the maintenance work performed, acceptance criteria were clear, and operational readiness consistent with design and licensing basis documents was demonstrated. The inspectors also verified that the impact of the testing had been properly characterized in the risk assessment, the test was performed as written, the testing prerequisites were satisfied, and that the test data was complete. Following the completion of the test, the inspectors verified that the system was returned to its normal standby configuration.
 
====b. Findings====
No findings of significance were identified. {{a|1R23}}
 
==1R23 Temporary Plant Modifications==
{{IP sample|IP=IP 71111.23}}
 
====a. Inspection Scope====
On December 18, 2002, the inspectors reviewed Field Modification Request 7679 describing that the economizer mode was temporarily removed from the CCHVAC system in 1984 to facilitate balancing the CCHVAC before initial fuel load. The inspectors identified that the UFSAR stated that the CCHVAC operation was demonstrated by proper integrated operation that included the economizer. The inspectors reviewed the field modification request, applicable sections of the UFSAR, central system component database, temporary modification control procedures, several CCHVAC systems, technical service requests, drawings, work requests, and CARD 02-12754, which had been written for this issue. Also, the inspectors reviewed CARD 01-14004, Emergency Diesel Generator 14 High Temperature on Generator Outboard Bearing Resulted in Engine Shutdown, Fire, and Alert Declaration, to determine whether all site field modification requests, which was a process used that contributed to the emergency diesel generator bearing failure, were reviewed as an extent-of-condition corrective action in the CARD.

No findings of significance were identified.
2OS2 As-Low-As-Is-Reasonably-Achievable Planning and Controls (71121.02)
 
ALARA Planning
 
====a. Inspection Scope====
The inspectors examined the stations procedures for radiological work/As-Low-As-Reasonably-Achievable (ALARA) planning and scheduling and evaluated the dose projection methodologies and practices implemented for Calender Year (CY) 2002 to verify that sound technical bases for dose estimates existed. The inspectors reviewed the stations collective exposure histories from 1990 to the present, current exposure trends for ongoing plant operations, and completed radiological work activities for CY 2002 to assess current performance and radiation exposure challenges. The inspectors selected a number of CY 2002 high exposure or high radiation area work activities and evaluated the ALARA plans and the licensees use of ALARA controls for each activity. The inspectors examined the work planning packages and the Pre-Job and In-Progress ALARA Review packages developed for work on the reactor water cleanup and the heater drain systems. The inspectors evaluated the licensees use of engineering controls to achieve dose reductions. Specifically, the inspectors reviewed the work planning packages to verify that adequate person-hour estimates, job history files, lessons learned, and industry experiences were utilized in the ALARA planning process. Additionally, work packages were evaluated for protective clothing requirements, respiratory protection concerns, electronic dosimetry alarm set points, use of remote telemetry dosimetry, radiation protection hold points, and ALARA considerations, to verify that work instructions and controls had been adequately specified and that electronic dosimeter set points were in conformity with survey indications.
 
====b. Findings====
No findings of significance were identified.
 
===.2 Radiological Work Planning and ALARA Implementation===
====a. Inspection Scope====
The inspectors reviewed radiation work permits and ALARA plans developed for the following CY 2002 work activities:
* Reactor water cleanup repair work
* Heater drain repair work The inspectors assessed the adequacy of the radiological controls and work planning for each of the activities. The inspectors examined the radiological engineering controls and other dose mitigation techniques specified in these documents and reviewed job dose history files to verify that licensee and industry lessons learned were adequately integrated into each work package. The inspectors reviewed the exposure results for the selected activities to evaluate the accuracy of exposure estimates in the ALARA plan.
 
====b. Findings====
No findings of significance were identified.
 
===.3 Verification of Exposure Goals and Exposure Tracking System===
====a. Inspection Scope====
The inspectors evaluated the licensees effectiveness in exposure tracking for CY 2002 to verify that the licensee could identify problems with its collective exposure and take actions to address them. The inspectors compared exposure estimates, exposure goals, job dose rates, and person-hour estimates for consistency to verify that the licensee could project, and thus better control radiation exposure. The inspectors examined job dose history files and dose reductions anticipated through the licensees implementation of lessons learned to verify that the licensee could accurately forecast yearly exposure dose goals.
 
====b. Findings====
No findings of significance were identified.
 
===.4 Job Site Inspections, Radiation Worker Performance, and ALARA Controls===
====a. Inspection Scope====
The inspectors observed a work activity in the radiologically restricted area, that was performed in a radiation area, to evaluate the use of ALARA controls. Specifically, the inspectors reviewed the adequacy of radiation work permits and radiological surveys to assess job site ALARA controls, in part, for the transfer of condensate resin to a high integrity container for eventual transport and disposal. The inspectors examined instructions to the workers involved in the transfer, as well as engineering controls to minimize dose exposures, to verify that the licensee had maintained the radiological exposure for these work activities ALARA. The inspectors evaluated radiation protection technician performance for the aforementioned work evolution, as well as observed and questioned the workers at the job location, to verify that they had adequate knowledge of radiological work conditions and exposure controls.
 
====b. Findings====

The inspectors reviewed meteorological tower sensor calibration and maintenance records (June 2001 through September 2002) to verify that the testing and maintenance programs for the equipment were implemented consistent with procedural requirements.
 
During this review, the inspectors compared the recorded sensor indications at the meteorological tower and in the control room to identify any line loss differences. The inspectors also reviewed calibration and maintenance records for REMP air sampling equipment to verify that the activities were performed in accordance with the licensees program and to verify that the equipment was properly maintained.
 
====b. Findings====
No findings of significance were identified.
 
===.4 Environmental Sample Collection and Laboratory Quality Assurance===
====a. Inspection Scope====
The inspectors accompanied a technician and observed the individual exchange air particulate filters and cartridges at three of five environmental air sampling stations. The observations were performed to determine whether samples were collected in accordance with the licensees sampling procedure and to determine if appropriate analytical practices were used to ensure sample integrity. The inspectors also assessed the analytical detection capabilities and quality control practices of the contract laboratory used by the licensee to analyze its environmental samples. In particular, the inspectors reviewed the results of the laboratorys inter-laboratory comparison program to ensure that the program was implemented consistent with the Offsite Dose Calculation Manual and to verify that the vendor was capable of performing adequate radiological measurements.
 
====b. Findings====
No findings of significance were identified.
 
===.5 Unrestricted Release of Material From Radiologically Controlled Areas===
====a. Inspection Scope====
The inspectors evaluated the licensees procedures and practices for the unrestricted release of material from radiologically controlled areas, for the survey of personnel leaving the Radiologically Controlled Areas and the site, and for responding to personnel contamination monitor alarms. Specifically, the inspectors reviewed the licensees personnel survey and unconditional release program to verify that:
: (1) radiation monitoring instrumentation used to perform surveys of personnel and for unrestricted release of materials and equipment were appropriate;
: (2) instrument sensitivities were consistent with NRC guidance contained in Inspection and Enforcement Circular 81-07, Control of Radioactively Contaminated Material, and Health Physics Positions in NUREG/CR-5569, Health Physics Positions Database, for both surface contaminated material and material in volumetric form;
: (3) criteria for survey and unconditional release conformed to NRC requirements; and
: (4) licensee procedures were technically sound and provided appropriate guidance for survey techniques. The inspectors reviewed the licensees most recent 10 CFR Part 61 analyses and its assessment of the plants radio nuclide mix to determine if the potential impact of difficult to detect contaminants (such as those that decay by electron capture) was adequately evaluated and factored into the unrestricted release survey program.
 
====b. Findings====
No findings of significance were identified.
 
===.6 Identification and Resolution of Problems===
====a. Inspection Scope====
The inspectors reviewed audits and self assessments performed by the licensee since January 2001 and CARDs generated in January 2001 thru October 2002 relative to the REMP and radioactive material control programs. These reviews were conducted to determine if the licensee adequately identified individual problems and trends, evaluated contributing causes and extent of condition, and developed corrective actions to prevent recurrence.
 
====b. Findings====
No findings of significance were identified.
 
==SAFEGUARDS==
===Cornerstone: Physical Protection===
3PP4 Security Plan Changes (71130.04)
 
====a. Inspection Scope====
The inspector reviewed Revision 41 to the Physical Security Plan, submitted by licensee letter dated November 27, 2002. The review was conducted to verify that the changes did not decrease the effectiveness of the security plan. The revision was submitted in accordance with 10 CFR 50.54(p).
 
====b. Findings====
No findings of significance were identified.

===1. Routine Review of Identification and Resolution of Problems===
====a. Inspection Scope====
The inspectors routinely review issues during baseline inspection activities and plant status reviews to verify that they were being entered into the licensees corrective action system at an appropriate level, that corrective actions were performed in a timely manner and that adverse trends were identified and addressed. The inspectors selected the following documents to determine if problem characterization was accurate and to verify that extent of condition reviews were adequately completed or were in the process of being performed.
* CARD 02-16969, Simultaneous opening of E2150F005B while E2150F004B was open during testing
* CARD 02-14502, Increased activation products in reactor building super particulate iodine noble gas samples
* CARD 02-19051, Inadequate corrective action plan for CARD 02-10236 resulted in being out of compliance with MES08 procedure requirement for 2 years.
* Plan of the day line item No. 207, Division 1 CCHVAC cable tray cooling fan switch.
* CARD 02-14776; Rejectable Indications on Control Rod Drive Collets; August 22, 2002
* Several CARDs on Lubrication/Oil Corrective Actions
 
====b. Findings====

===.2 Condition Assessment Resolution Document 02-12595, Questions Raised Regarding===
Methodology Employed in Design Calculation DC-6086 Analysis of the Fuel Handling Accident
 
====a. Inspection Scope====
The inspectors reviewed CARD 02-12595, Questions Raised Regarding Methodology Employed in Design Calculation DC-6086 Analysis of the Fuel Handling Accident.
 
Because TS Amendment 144 was issued using this design calculation as a basis for the amendment, the inspectors reviewed for the following aspects:
 
1)
If a fuel handling accident had occurred in Refueling Outage 8, would have the consequential thyroid dose to the operators been exceeded given that secondary containment was not intact before the waiting period for moving irradiated fuel had elapsed (i.e. 4 days vice 4 days, 8 hours)2)
If the findings in CARD 02-12595 should have been reported to the NRC for degraded plant safety barriers during Refueling Outage 8 3)
Whether the Technical Specifications and associated Bases were deficient as described in Administrative Letter 98-10, Dispositioning of Technical Specifications That Are Insufficient to Assure Plant Safety 4)
Whether the requirements of 10 CFR 50.9, Completeness and Accuracy of Information, were met
 
====b. Findings====
No findings of significance were identified.
 
===.3 CARD 02-19263; EECW Flow to T4100B019 was Left Lower than Design===
====a. Inspection Scope====
In December 2002, the inspectors noted a test where low flow conditions occurred in the Division 2 EECW system similar to a low flow condition that occurred in December of 2001. The inspectors reviewed CARD 02-19263, EECW Flow to T4100B019 was Left Lower than Design, and other CARDs involving low flow conditions in the EECW system. The inspectors reviewed work requests and interviewed station personnel to verify the operability of the system over a period of 1 year, extent of condition on the CARD and the effectiveness of the associated corrective actions.
 
====b. Findings====
The licensee discovered low flow conditions in December of 2001 on Division 2 EECW.
 
Then, valves were adjusted on system loads to be brought within tolerance. In May of 2002, a CARD was written documenting that the flow meter used to determine the EECW Division 2 flows was out of tolerance by about 7 percent. This prompted the licensee to take two actions.
 
First, the licensee reviewed the as-left flows from the December 2001 test and incorporated the out of tolerance to determine if the system was inoperable. The licensee determined that the system remained operable.
 
Second, the licensee conducted a flow balance on Division 2 in December 2002 using newly purchased ultrasonic flow meters. The results of that test demonstrated that the Division 2 battery charger room cooler TB4100B044 was 1.5 gpm (6.5 gpm too low), the Division 2 hydrogen recombiner space cooler T4100B0037 was 4.8 gpm (7.2 gpm too low), and core spray space cooler was 45.9 gpm (5.1 gpm too low). To correct the problem, the licensee manipulated T4100B0037 and flows increased significantly. The licensee flushed the residual heat removal cooler, the thermal recombiner cooler and the battery room cooler and found black iron oxide corrosion. Black iron oxide had been found in a leaking non-interruptible air supply room cooler during Refueling Outage 7 while repairing the leaking cooler. The licensee stated that no instances of low flow conditions occurred as a result of corrosion in the EECW system in the past.
 
This item will be an unresolved item (URI 50/341-02-001) pending the inspectors review of the following: 1) the licensee resolution to EECW corrosion issue, 2) the CARD database to identify previous occurrences of low flow due to corrosion and, 3) the past operability evaluations on the coolers with low flows mentioned above.

==4OA3 Event Followup==
{{IP sample|IP=IP 71153}}
(Closed) Unresolved Item 50-341/01-005-02: Risk Associated with Operation in Torus Cooling Mode Beyond Original Design Assumptions. This item involved the discovery that use of the residual heat removal system in the torus cooling mode had a higher risk than originally assumed. The issue screened out of the NRC's significance determination process on the basis that there was not a performance deficiency (i.e., the system was operable). After consultation with NRR and the regions senior risk analysts, the issue was determined to be primarily a generic concern regarding how design issues are handled under the significance determination process. Therefore, this specific issue is being closed out and the underlying issue will be handled under an NRC internal process. This item is closed.

SUBJECT:

FERMI 2 NUCLEAR POWER STATION NRC INTEGRATED INSPECTION REPORT 50-341/02-11

Dear Mr. OConnor:

On December 28, 2002, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed an integrated inspection at your Fermi 2 Nuclear Power Station. The enclosed report documents inspection findings which were discussed on January 10, 2002, with you, Mr. Cobb, and other members of your staff.

The inspection examined activities conducted under your license as they relate to safety and to compliance with the Commissions rules and regulations and with the conditions of your license.

The inspectors reviewed selected procedures and records, observed activities, and interviewed personnel.

Based on the results of this inspection, no findings of significance were identified.

Since the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001, the NRC has issued two Orders (dated February 25, 2002, and January 7, 2003) and several threat advisories to licensees of commercial power reactors to strengthen licensee capabilities, improve security force readiness, and enhance access authorization. The NRC also issued Temporary Instruction 2515/148 on August 28, 2002, that provided guidance to inspectors to audit and inspect licensee implementation of the interim compensatory measures (ICMs) required by the February 25th Order. Phase 1 of TI 2515/148 was completed at all commercial nuclear power reactors during calendar year (CY) 02, and the remaining inspections are scheduled for completion in CY 03. Additionally, table-top security drills were conducted at several licensees to evaluate the impact of expanded adversary characteristics and the ICMs on licensee protection and mitigative strategies. Information gained and discrepancies identified during the audits and drills were reviewed and dispositioned by the Office of Nuclear Security and Incident Response. For CY 03, the NRC will continue to monitor overall safeguards and security controls and conduct inspections, and will resume force-on-force exercises at selected power plants. Should threat conditions change, the NRC may issue additional Orders, advisories, and temporary instructions to ensure adequate safety is being maintained at all commercial nuclear power reactors. In accordance with 10 CFR 2.790 of the NRC's "Rules of Practice," a copy of this letter and its enclosure will be available electronically for public inspection in the NRC Public Document Room or from the Publicly Available Records (PARS) component of NRCs document system (ADAMS). ADAMS is accessible from the NRC Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adms.html (the Public Electronic Reading Room).

Findings for which the SDP does not apply may be "Green" or be assigned a severity level after NRC management review. The NRC's program for overseeing the safe operation of commercial nuclear power reactors is described in NUREG-1649, "Reactor Oversight Process," Revision 3, dated July 2000.

No findings of significance were identified.

REPORT DETAILS

Summary of Plant Status

At the start of the inspection period, Fermi 2 operated at 100 percent power. On October 2, 2002, the reactor automatically scrammed, and the main turbine generator tripped on loss of main condenser vacuum due to loss of the No. 2 circulating water pump and failure of its associated discharge valve to close. Following the execution of pre-planned forced-outage priority work requests while in hot shutdown, the reactor was then restarted and power was returned to 100 percent on October 6, 2002. On December 3, 2002, reactor power was decreased to 83 percent to remove the No. 3 circulating water pump from service due to increase in vibration. Reactor power was able to be increased to 100 percent on December 4, 2002, with three of the five circulating water pumps in service, due to low ambient temperature and low condenser back pressure. Reactor power was decreased to 55 percent on December 21, 2002, to perform control rod pattern adjustments, turbine control and stop valve testing, turbine bypass availability testing, control rod scram insert time testing and other planned maintenance activities. Reactor power was increased to 100 percent on December 22, 2002. On December 23, 2002, reactor power was decreased to 91 percent to complete a control rod pattern adjustment and returned to near 100 percent. On December 28, 2002, at 2:46 am, voltage regulation for distribution cabinet motor power unit (MPU) 3 began to fail, which impacted balance of plant equipment including control rod movement. The operators inserted a manual scram and entered Mode 3. A jumper was installed around the MPU No. 3 voltage regulator and forced-outage maintenance work was conducted. At the end of the inspection period, the plant remained shut down and in Mode

REACTOR SAFETY

Cornerstone: Mitigating Systems

1R01 Adverse Weather

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors toured the plant and used the Acts of Nature Abnormal Operating Procedure to verify that the licensee was prepared for seasonal readiness related to: 1) high winds and 2) extremely low temperatures. The inspectors used the Licensee Event Report Database to review seasonal issues that occurred at other sites and determined whether the licensee had addressed these issues at the site. Procedure 27.000.04, Freeze Protection Lineup Verification, was used during the inspection.

b. Findings

No findings of significance were identified.

1R04 Equipment Alignments

.1 Quarterly Inspection (711114.04Q)

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors performed a partial walkdown of System Service Transformer 65, which is a risk-significant, mitigating system. The inspectors reviewed associated piping and instrumentation drawings, condition assessment resolution documents (CARDs) and used the system operating procedures lineup listed at the end of this document to verify the system standby alignment. The inspectors also examined the material condition of the components and observed operating parameters of equipment to verify that there were no obvious deficiencies.

b. Findings

No findings of significance were identified.

.2 Semiannual Inspection

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors performed a complete walkdown of the compressed air (P5000) system.

This system was selected because of its risk-significance in the licensees probabilistic risk assessment. The inspection reviewed the following:

C Appropriate plant procedures C

Drawings C

Updated Final Safety Analysis Report (UFSAR) to identify proper system alignment C

System training manual C

Maintenance work requests C

Outstanding design issues and operator work arounds C

Control room logs The inspectors used the documents to verify valves were positioned correctly and did not exhibit leakage that would impact the valves function, availability of electrical power, proper labeling, lubrication and cooling of major equipment, and functionality of hangers and support systems.

b. Findings

No findings of significance were identified.

1R07 Heat Sink Performance

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors reviewed Jobs TG 1202065 and TG 1302910 used to conduct performance testing on Divisions 1 and 2 emergency equipment cooling water (EECW)heat exchangers. The inspectors verified if deficiencies masked degraded performance.

Also, the inspectors verified whether any potential common cause heat sink performance problems may have increased plant risk. Finally, the inspectors verified that the licensee had adequately identified and resolved heat sink performance problems (corrosion, fouling, silting) that could result in affecting multiple heat exchangers in mitigating systems and thereby increase risk.

a. Findings

No findings of significance were identified.

1R11 Licensed Operator Requalification

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors observed a shift operating crew during the annual requalification examination in mitigating the consequences of events on the simulator. The inspectors evaluated the following areas:

C Licensed operator performance C

Crews clarity and formality of communications C

Ability to take timely actions in the conservative direction C

Prioritization, interpretation, and verification of annunciator alarms C

Correct use and implementation of abnormal and emergency procedures C

Control board manipulations C

Oversight and direction from supervisors C

Ability to identify and implement appropriate Technical Specification actions and Emergency Plan actions and notifications.

The crews performance in these areas was compared to pre-established operator action expectations and successful critical task completion requirements.

b. Findings

No findings of significance were identified.

1R12 Maintenance Rule Implementation

Periodic Evaluation

a. Inspection Scope

The objective of the inspection was to:

  • Verify that the periodic evaluation was completed within the time restraints defined in 10 CFR 50.65, the Maintenance Rule (once per refueling cycle, not to exceed 2 years), ensuring that the licensee reviewed its goals, monitoring, preventive maintenance activities, industry operating experience, and made appropriate adjustments as a result of that review;
  • Verify that the licensee balanced reliability and unavailability during the previous refueling cycle, including a review of safety significant structures, systems, and components (SSC);
  • Verify that (a)(1) goals were met, corrective actions were appropriate to correct the defective condition including the use of industry operating experience, and (a)(1) activities and related goals were adjusted as needed; and
  • Verify that the licensee has established (a)(2) performance criteria, examined any SSCs that failed to meet their performance criteria, or reviewed any SSCs that have suffered repeated maintenance preventable functional failures including a verification that failed SSCs were considered for (a)(1).

The inspectors examined the last two periodic evaluation reports for the time frames May 1999 through September 2000, and October 2000 through April 2002. To evaluate the effectiveness of (a)(1) and (a)(2) activities, the inspectors examined (a)(1) action plans, justifications for returning SSCs from (a)(1) to (a)(2), and a number of CARDs (contained in the list of documents at the end of this report). In addition, the CARDs were reviewed to verify that the threshold for identification of problems was at an appropriate level and the associated corrective actions were appropriate. The inspectors focused the inspection on the following systems:

b. Findings

No findings of significance were identified.

1R13 Maintenance Risk Assessments and Emergent Work Evaluation

Emergent Work Activities

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors reviewed the licensees evaluation of risk, activity scheduling, configuration control, and emergent work to ensure that plant risk was appropriately managed. The inspectors verified that licensee actions, such as establishing compensatory actions, minimizing the duration of the activity, obtaining appropriate management approval, and informing appropriate plant staff to address increased online risk during these periods were accomplished when needed. The following work week activities were reviewed:

Work Week Reviewed Systems Out-of-Service During Work Week Week of November 17, 2002 Potential Part 21 Reportable Condition: Non-Conservative T-Min Setpoint in Oscillating Power Range Monitor System Week of November 24, 2002 High Bearing Temperature Division 2 Control Center Heating Ventilation and Air Conditioning (CCHVAC) Return Air Fan Inboard Bearing Week of December 1, 2002 Unexpected Closure of No. 3 High Pressure Control Valve Week of December 1, 2002 Motor Generator Set Brushes Sticking in Brush Boxes

a. Findings

No findings of significance were identified.

1R14 Nonroutine Plant Evolutions

1. Automatic Scram from a Loss of Circulating Pump No. 2

a. Inspection Scope

On October 2, 2002, the inspectors observed control room personnel respond to the failures of circulating water pump No. 2 and its associated discharge valve to close.

These failures caused most of the condenser cooling flow to be diverted to the circulating water pond. The loss of cooling flow caused a loss of condenser vacuum and the turbine tripped followed by an automatic scram of the unit. The inspectors determined by direct observation and a review of procedural requirements, that proper procedures (emergency operating, abnormal operating and annunciator response) were followed, operator actions were independently verified, repeat-backs were performed, operations personnel were complying with procedures and Technical Specifications, and that plant parameters were as expected for each operating condition.

a. Findings

No findings of significance were identified.

2. Manual Plant Scram due to a Loss of Motor Power Unit (MPU) No. 3

a. Inspection Scope

On December 28, 2002, the voltage regulator inside MPU No. 3 power distribution cabinet failed impacting several balance-of-plant equipment indicators, alarms and recorders. Operations personnel decided to conduct a controlled shutdown of the unit.

However, insufficient voltage from MPU No. 3 prevented the insertion of Control Rod 22-47. In response, the operators placed the mode switch in shutdown, scrammed the unit from about 73 percent power and entered Mode 3. The inspectors reviewed drawings, procedures, Technical Specifications, system training manuals, the UFSAR, any available trend recorders and data to determine whether operator response to the event was appropriate and if equipment responded as expected.

b. Findings

No findings of significance were identified.

1R15 Operability Evaluations

.1 Drywell Cooling Fans Vibration Alarm Setpoint Change

a. Inspection Scope

During the next refueling outage, the licensee plans to implement a technical service request to change the drywell cooling fans vibration alarm setpoint. Recently, the drywell cooling fans have been sending nuisance alarms to the control room. The alarm setpoints of drywell vibration detectors T47N001A through D, G, and H through N appear to be set too low. The vibration switches sense acceleration and are sensitive to higher frequency such as blade pass. These switches can only be adjusted during refueling outages at a time when the drywell temperature is much lower than during plant operation. The switches are set above background vibration which then changes with an increase in ambient temperature. The fan casing to blade clearances can change which affects the vibration at pass frequency. The switches can therefore be set too close to normal background vibration while at power. Engineering evaluations of vibration parameters indicate that a real vibration issue does not exist. Condition Assessment Resolution Document 02-12902 was written to document the concern.

The inspectors reviewed documents associated with the drywell cooling fan vibration alarm setpoint change. The inspectors reviewed the licensees operability determination and future actions for eliminating the cause of the high vibration nuisance alarms.

b. Findings

No findings of significance were identified.

.2 High Pressure Coolant Injection Engineering Functional Analysis, Potential Opening

Transient on Turbine Stop Valve E4100F067

a. Inspection Scope

During a surveillance run of the high pressure coolant injection (HPCI), the system engineer noted a loud mechanical noise. Review and discussions with the system supplier design engineer indicated the evidence of a stop valve opening transient on E4100F067, HPCI turbine stop valve. The phenomenon was characterized by the valve being catapulted open and then closed due to the setpoint of the valve balancing chamber being too low. The phenomenon occurs quickly and does not significantly affect the system response time. However, repetitive operation under these conditions can result in damage to the valve seat, stem and hydraulic cylinder seal. Safety function analysis of this condition indicated that the HPCI system remained capable of meeting the single failure criterion and thus capable of event mitigation. In the interim, until the balance chamber pressure can be increased, the engineering functional analysis specified that no planned auto initiation of the HPCI system should be performed.

b. Findings

No findings of significance were identified.

.3 Part 21 Reportable Condition:

Non-Conservative T-Min Setpoint in Oscillating Power Range Monitor System

a. Inspection Scope

On November 21, 2002, General Electric notified the licensee that the oscillating power range monitor could be set non-conservatively. The Fermi 2 oscillating power range monitor system was set at 1.4 seconds, meaning that any oscillation having a period of less than 1.4 seconds would not be detected by the oscillating power range monitor system as a potential thermal hydraulic instability. The inspectors reviewed CARD 02-18019 to determine if the evaluation was technically adequate and justifiable.

The inspectors reviewed immediate actions of declaring the system inoperable and verified that the setpoint changes were done per plant procedures.

b. Findings

No findings of significance were identified.

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors examined the stations procedures for radiological work/As-Low-As-Reasonably-Achievable (ALARA) planning and scheduling and evaluated the dose projection methodologies and practices implemented for Calender Year (CY) 2002 to verify that sound technical bases for dose estimates existed. The inspectors reviewed the stations collective exposure histories from 1990 to the present, current exposure trends for ongoing plant operations, and completed radiological work activities for CY 2002 to assess current performance and radiation exposure challenges. The inspectors selected a number of CY 2002 high exposure or high radiation area work activities and evaluated the ALARA plans and the licensees use of ALARA controls for each activity. The inspectors examined the work planning packages and the Pre-Job and In-Progress ALARA Review packages developed for work on the reactor water cleanup and the heater drain systems. The inspectors evaluated the licensees use of engineering controls to achieve dose reductions. Specifically, the inspectors reviewed the work planning packages to verify that adequate person-hour estimates, job history files, lessons learned, and industry experiences were utilized in the ALARA planning process. Additionally, work packages were evaluated for protective clothing requirements, respiratory protection concerns, electronic dosimetry alarm set points, use of remote telemetry dosimetry, radiation protection hold points, and ALARA considerations, to verify that work instructions and controls had been adequately specified and that electronic dosimeter set points were in conformity with survey indications.

b. Findings

Methodology Employed in Design Calculation DC-6086 Analysis of the Fuel Handling Accident

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors reviewed CARD 02-12595, Questions Raised Regarding Methodology Employed in Design Calculation DC-6086 Analysis of the Fuel Handling Accident.

Because TS Amendment 144 was issued using this design calculation as a basis for the amendment, the inspectors reviewed for the following aspects:

1)

If a fuel handling accident had occurred in Refueling Outage 8, would have the consequential thyroid dose to the operators been exceeded given that secondary containment was not intact before the waiting period for moving irradiated fuel had elapsed (i.e. 4 days vice 4 days, 8 hours9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br />)2)

If the findings in CARD 02-12595 should have been reported to the NRC for degraded plant safety barriers during Refueling Outage 8 3)

Whether the Technical Specifications and associated Bases were deficient as described in Administrative Letter 98-10, Dispositioning of Technical Specifications That Are Insufficient to Assure Plant Safety 4)

Whether the requirements of 10 CFR 50.9, Completeness and Accuracy of Information, were met

b. Findings

No findings of significance were identified.

.3 CARD 02-19263; EECW Flow to T4100B019 was Left Lower than Design

a. Inspection Scope

In December 2002, the inspectors noted a test where low flow conditions occurred in the Division 2 EECW system similar to a low flow condition that occurred in December of 2001. The inspectors reviewed CARD 02-19263, EECW Flow to T4100B019 was Left Lower than Design, and other CARDs involving low flow conditions in the EECW system. The inspectors reviewed work requests and interviewed station personnel to verify the operability of the system over a period of 1 year, extent of condition on the CARD and the effectiveness of the associated corrective actions.

b. Findings

The licensee discovered low flow conditions in December of 2001 on Division 2 EECW.

Then, valves were adjusted on system loads to be brought within tolerance. In May of 2002, a CARD was written documenting that the flow meter used to determine the EECW Division 2 flows was out of tolerance by about 7 percent. This prompted the licensee to take two actions.

First, the licensee reviewed the as-left flows from the December 2001 test and incorporated the out of tolerance to determine if the system was inoperable. The licensee determined that the system remained operable.

Second, the licensee conducted a flow balance on Division 2 in December 2002 using newly purchased ultrasonic flow meters. The results of that test demonstrated that the Division 2 battery charger room cooler TB4100B044 was 1.5 gpm (6.5 gpm too low), the Division 2 hydrogen recombiner space cooler T4100B0037 was 4.8 gpm (7.2 gpm too low), and core spray space cooler was 45.9 gpm (5.1 gpm too low). To correct the problem, the licensee manipulated T4100B0037 and flows increased significantly. The licensee flushed the residual heat removal cooler, the thermal recombiner cooler and the battery room cooler and found black iron oxide corrosion. Black iron oxide had been found in a leaking non-interruptible air supply room cooler during Refueling Outage 7 while repairing the leaking cooler. The licensee stated that no instances of low flow conditions occurred as a result of corrosion in the EECW system in the past.

This item will be an unresolved item (URI 50/341-02-001) pending the inspectors review of the following: 1) the licensee resolution to EECW corrosion issue, 2) the CARD database to identify previous occurrences of low flow due to corrosion and, 3) the past operability evaluations on the coolers with low flows mentioned above.

4OA3 Event Followup

(Closed) Unresolved Item 50-341/01-005-02: Risk Associated with Operation in Torus Cooling Mode Beyond Original Design Assumptions. This item involved the discovery that use of the residual heat removal system in the torus cooling mode had a higher risk than originally assumed. The issue screened out of the NRC's significance determination process on the basis that there was not a performance deficiency (i.e., the system was operable). After consultation with NRR and the regions senior risk analysts, the issue was determined to be primarily a generic concern regarding how design issues are handled under the significance determination process. Therefore, this specific issue is being closed out and the underlying issue will be handled under an NRC internal process. This item is closed.
