(1) Reactor Scram Due to Frazil Ice Build-up and Subsequent Lowering Intake Level INSPECTION RESULTS Observations 71152 Annual Follow-up of Selected Issues Reactor Scram Due to Frazil Ice Build-up and Subsequent Lowering Intake Level


(1) Reactor Scram Due to Frazil Ice Build-up and Subsequent Lowering Intake Level INSPECTION RESULTS Observations 71152 Annual Follow-up of Selected Issues Reactor Scram Due to Frazil Ice Build-up and Subsequent Lowering Intake Level On January 23, 2016, during power ascension following a downpower for hydraulic control unit maintenance, the station experienced a reduction in intake level. Operators initially attempted to perform a rapid downpower with the intent of securing two circulating water pumps. After securing the first circulating water pump, intake level momentarily began to rise and then continued to lower. When intake level decreased to the procedurally required minimal intake level, operators inserted a manual scram. Exelon determined the cause of the scram was frazil ice build-up on the bar racks at the intake structure, which is an infrequent occurrence, but is expected during winter months during specific meteorological conditions. FitzPatrick has experienced frazil ice build-up previously in 1996, 2004, 2008, and 2010. However, only in 1996 did the event result in a unit scram, which resulted in a number of corrective actions, including new procedures to combat intake level issues. Since the 2004 -

However, only in 1996 did the event result in a unit scram, which resulted in a number of corrective actions, including new procedures to combat intake level issues. Since the 2004 -
2010 events did not result in a reactor scram, the evaluations for the events were not as in depth or as scrutinizing as the 1996 event. Exelon recognized that these prior events were missed opportunities to not just mitigate the build-up of frazil ice but evaluate and eliminate the potential. Another factor that potentially affected how rapidly the January 2016 progressed, was the re-tubing of the FitzPatrick main condensers in 2015, which increased the flow rate through the intake, which can expedite frazil ice formation in the intake system.

Line 104: Line 203:
The inspectors noted this winter FitzPatrick had no indications of frazil ice build-up or intake level issues which would appear to demonstrate that the removal of the bar racks has improved FitzPatrick's ability to mitigate frazil ice buildup. Further corrective actions include installing an intake level rate of change alarm, revising procedures to increase lake level monitoring during high frazil ice likelihood conditions, and to communicate with Nine Mile Point Unit 1 and 2 and take action if either plant experiences indications of intake icing. The inspectors concluded that Exelon's response and corrective actions for this event were commensurate with the safety significance, were timely, and included appropriate compensatory measures.

Annual Follow-up of Selected Issues (1 Sample)
The inspectors reviewed Exelon's implementation of its corrective action program related to the following issues:  
 
(1) Reactor Scram Due to Frazil Ice Build-up and Subsequent Lowering Intake Level INSPECTION RESULTS Observations 71152 Annual Follow-up of Selected Issues Reactor Scram Due to Frazil Ice Build-up and Subsequent Lowering Intake Level


(1) Reactor Scram Due to Frazil Ice Build-up and Subsequent Lowering Intake Level INSPECTION RESULTS Observations 71152 Annual Follow-up of Selected Issues Reactor Scram Due to Frazil Ice Build-up and Subsequent Lowering Intake Level On January 23, 2016, during power ascension following a downpower for hydraulic control unit maintenance, the station experienced a reduction in intake level. Operators initially attempted to perform a rapid downpower with the intent of securing two circulating water pumps. After securing the first circulating water pump, intake level momentarily began to rise and then continued to lower. When intake level decreased to the procedurally required minimal intake level, operators inserted a manual scram. Exelon determined the cause of the scram was frazil ice build-up on the bar racks at the intake structure, which is an infrequent occurrence, but is expected during winter months during specific meteorological conditions. FitzPatrick has experienced frazil ice build-up previously in 1996, 2004, 2008, and 2010. However, only in 1996 did the event result in a unit scram, which resulted in a number of corrective actions, including new procedures to combat intake level issues. Since the 2004 -

However, only in 1996 did the event result in a unit scram, which resulted in a number of corrective actions, including new procedures to combat intake level issues. Since the 2004 -
2010 events did not result in a reactor scram, the evaluations for the events were not as in depth or as scrutinizing as the 1996 event. Exelon recognized that these prior events were missed opportunities to not just mitigate the build-up of frazil ice but evaluate and eliminate the potential. Another factor that potentially affected how rapidly the January 2016 progressed, was the re-tubing of the FitzPatrick main condensers in 2015, which increased the flow rate through the intake, which can expedite frazil ice formation in the intake system.

Line 213: Line 456:
The inspectors noted this winter FitzPatrick had no indications of frazil ice build-up or intake level issues which would appear to demonstrate that the removal of the bar racks has improved FitzPatrick's ability to mitigate frazil ice buildup. Further corrective actions include installing an intake level rate of change alarm, revising procedures to increase lake level monitoring during high frazil ice likelihood conditions, and to communicate with Nine Mile Point Unit 1 and 2 and take action if either plant experiences indications of intake icing. The inspectors concluded that Exelon's response and corrective actions for this event were commensurate with the safety significance, were timely, and included appropriate compensatory measures.

SUBJECT: JAMES A. FITZPATRICK NUCLEAR POWER PLANT - INTEGRATED INSPECTION REPORT 05000333/2018001

Dear Mr. Hanson:

On March 31, 2018, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed an inspection at the James A. FitzPatrick Nuclear Power Plant (FitzPatrick). On May 2, 2018, the NRC inspectors discussed the results of this inspection with Mr. Joseph Pacher, Site Vice President, and other members of your staff. The results of this inspection are documented in the enclosed

report.

The NRC inspectors did not identify any finding or violation of more than minor significance.

This letter, its enclosure, and your response (if any) will be made available for public inspection

and copying at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html and the NRC Public Document Room in accordance with Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), Part 2.390, "Public Inspections, Exemptions, Requests for Withholding."

2 SUMMARY The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) continued monitoring Exelon's performance at FitzPatrick by conducting the baseline inspections described in this report in accordance with the Reactor Oversight Process. The Reactor Oversight Process is the NRC's program for overseeing the safe operation of commercial nuclear power reactors. Refer to

https://www.nrc.gov/reactors/operating/oversight.html for more information.

No findings or more-than-minor violations were identified.

3 PLANT STATUS FitzPatrick began the inspection period at rated thermal power. On February 25, 2018, operators reduced power to 54 percent to perform scram time testing and turbine and main steam isolation valve stroke time testing. Operators returned FitzPatrick to rated thermal power March 1, 2018, and the plant remained at or near rated thermal power for the remainder 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 performed plant status activities described in IMC 2515, Appendix D, "Plant Status," and conducted routine reviews using IP 71152, "Problem Identification and Resolution."

The inspectors reviewed selected procedures and records, observed activities, and interviewed personnel to assess Exelon's performance and compliance with Commission rules and regulations, license conditions, site procedures, and standards.

REACTOR SAFETY 71111.01 - Adverse Weather Protection

Impending Severe Weather (1 Sample)

The inspectors evaluated readiness for impending extreme weather conditions prior to the unseasonably cold weather during the week of January 1, 2018.

Annual Follow-up of Selected Issues (1 Sample)

The inspectors reviewed Exelon's implementation of its corrective action program related to the following issues:

(1) Reactor Scram Due to Frazil Ice Build-up and Subsequent Lowering Intake Level INSPECTION RESULTS Observations 71152 Annual Follow-up of Selected Issues Reactor Scram Due to Frazil Ice Build-up and Subsequent Lowering Intake Level

On January 23, 2016, during power ascension following a downpower for hydraulic control unit maintenance, the station experienced a reduction in intake level. Operators initially attempted to perform a rapid downpower with the intent of securing two circulating water pumps. After securing the first circulating water pump, intake level momentarily began to rise and then continued to lower. When intake level decreased to the procedurally required minimal intake level, operators inserted a manual scram. Exelon determined the cause of the scram was frazil ice build-up on the bar racks at the intake structure, which is an infrequent occurrence, but is expected during winter months during specific meteorological conditions. FitzPatrick has experienced frazil ice build-up previously in 1996, 2004, 2008, and 2010. However, only in 1996 did the event result in a unit scram, which resulted in a number of corrective actions, including new procedures to combat intake level issues. Since the 2004 -

2010 events did not result in a reactor scram, the evaluations for the events were not as in depth or as scrutinizing as the 1996 event. Exelon recognized that these prior events were missed opportunities to not just mitigate the bui ld-up of frazil ice but evaluate and eliminate the potential. Another factor that potentially affected how rapidly the January 2016 progressed, was the re-tubing of the FitzPatrick main condensers in 2015, which increased the flow rate through the intake, which can expedite frazil ice formation in the intake system.

Exelon noted this item in the root cause investigation that was completed following the 2016 scram, and implemented several corrective actions to address this issue.

The inspectors reviewed the 2016 Exelon root cause analysis documented under IR 03992624. Exelon concluded the event was casued by frazil ice buildup. Contributing causes were that the procedures for mitigating the impact of frazil ice formation were ineffective, and that station leadership accepted mitigating actions vice elimination for issues that potentially jeopardized safe plant operation. Previous analysis has discovered under certain circumstances that the bar rack heaters were incapable of preventing frazil ice. Given the root 10 cause and the contributing causes, Exelon pursued corrective actions to eliminate the possibility of frazil ice build-up which included removing two of the eight bar racks on the intake structure as corrective actions. The removal of the two bar racks will allow for sufficient intake flow should the remaining racks be impeded by frazil ice.

The inspectors noted this winter FitzPatrick had no indications of frazil ice build-up or intake level issues which would appear to demonstrate that the removal of the bar racks has improved FitzPatrick's ability to mitigate frazil ice buildup. Further corrective actions include installing an intake level rate of change alarm, revising procedures to increase lake level monitoring during high frazil ice likelihood conditions, and to communicate with Nine Mile Point Unit 1 and 2 and take action if either plant experiences indications of intake icing. The inspectors concluded that Exelon's response and corrective actions for this event were commensurate with the safety significance, were timely, and included appropriate compensatory measures.

EXIT MEETINGS AND DEBRIEFS

The inspectors verified no proprietary information was retained or documented in this report.

On May 2, 2018, the inspectors presented the quarterly resident inspection results to Mr. Joseph Pacher, Site Vice President, and other members of the Exelon staff.

Annual Follow-up of Selected Issues (1 Sample)

The inspectors reviewed Exelon's implementation of its corrective action program related to the following issues:

(1) Reactor Scram Due to Frazil Ice Build-up and Subsequent Lowering Intake Level INSPECTION RESULTS Observations 71152 Annual Follow-up of Selected Issues Reactor Scram Due to Frazil Ice Build-up and Subsequent Lowering Intake Level

On January 23, 2016, during power ascension following a downpower for hydraulic control unit maintenance, the station experienced a reduction in intake level. Operators initially attempted to perform a rapid downpower with the intent of securing two circulating water pumps. After securing the first circulating water pump, intake level momentarily began to rise and then continued to lower. When intake level decreased to the procedurally required minimal intake level, operators inserted a manual scram. Exelon determined the cause of the scram was frazil ice build-up on the bar racks at the intake structure, which is an infrequent occurrence, but is expected during winter months during specific meteorological conditions. FitzPatrick has experienced frazil ice build-up previously in 1996, 2004, 2008, and 2010. However, only in 1996 did the event result in a unit scram, which resulted in a number of corrective actions, including new procedures to combat intake level issues. Since the 2004 -

2010 events did not result in a reactor scram, the evaluations for the events were not as in depth or as scrutinizing as the 1996 event. Exelon recognized that these prior events were missed opportunities to not just mitigate the bui ld-up of frazil ice but evaluate and eliminate the potential. Another factor that potentially affected how rapidly the January 2016 progressed, was the re-tubing of the FitzPatrick main condensers in 2015, which increased the flow rate through the intake, which can expedite frazil ice formation in the intake system.

Exelon noted this item in the root cause investigation that was completed following the 2016 scram, and implemented several corrective actions to address this issue.

The inspectors reviewed the 2016 Exelon root cause analysis documented under IR 03992624. Exelon concluded the event was casued by frazil ice buildup. Contributing causes were that the procedures for mitigating the impact of frazil ice formation were ineffective, and that station leadership accepted mitigating actions vice elimination for issues that potentially jeopardized safe plant operation. Previous analysis has discovered under certain circumstances that the bar rack heaters were incapable of preventing frazil ice. Given the root 10 cause and the contributing causes, Exelon pursued corrective actions to eliminate the possibility of frazil ice build-up which included removing two of the eight bar racks on the intake structure as corrective actions. The removal of the two bar racks will allow for sufficient intake flow should the remaining racks be impeded by frazil ice.

The inspectors noted this winter FitzPatrick had no indications of frazil ice build-up or intake level issues which would appear to demonstrate that the removal of the bar racks has improved FitzPatrick's ability to mitigate frazil ice buildup. Further corrective actions include installing an intake level rate of change alarm, revising procedures to increase lake level monitoring during high frazil ice likelihood conditions, and to communicate with Nine Mile Point Unit 1 and 2 and take action if either plant experiences indications of intake icing. The inspectors concluded that Exelon's response and corrective actions for this event were commensurate with the safety significance, were timely, and included appropriate compensatory measures.

EXIT MEETINGS AND DEBRIEFS

The inspectors verified no proprietary information was retained or documented in this report.

On May 2, 2018, the inspectors presented the quarterly resident inspection results to Mr. Joseph Pacher, Site Vice President, and other members of the Exelon staff.
