The inspectors identified a non-cited violation of 10 CFR 50.65, "Requirements for Monitoring the Effectiveness of Maintenance at Nuclear Power Plants," section a(4), for the licensee's failure to assess and manage the increase in risk during an auxiliary component cooling water system work window. Specifically, the licensee failed to re-asses risk when a dry cooling tower fan in the component cooling water system was declared unavailable during the ongoing auxiliary component cooling water system work window. As a result, for approximately 6 hours, on-line risk was maintained as Green when it should have been elevated to Orange, which would have required additional risk management actions. The licensee entered this issue into their corrective action program as Condition Report CR-WF3-2016-0660. Corrective actions included restoring the dry cooling tower fan to available status such that risk returned to Green and sending a communication to operations supervisors to re-emphasize the requirements to adequately address unavailability of plant components. The inspectors determined that the performance deficiency was more than minor, and therefore a finding, because it was associated with the configuration control attribute of the Mitigating Systems Cornerstone, and adversely affected the cornerstone objective of ensuring the availability, reliability, and capability of systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences. Specifically, by not ensuring the risk assessment was adequate when an additional component was emergently declared unavailable, the licensee proceeded with a maintenance work window with no understanding of the increased risk associated with a different plant configuration. The inspectors used Inspection Manual Chapter 0609, Appendix K, "Maintenance Risk Assessment and Risk Management Significance Determination Process," dated May 19, 2005, Flowchart 1, "Assessment of Risk Deficit," and determined the need to calculate the risk deficit to determine the significance of this issue. The risk deficits were assumed to be equal to the incremental core damage probability (ICDP)actual and incremental large early release probability (ILERP)actual. The Waterford probabilistic risk assessment model yielded an incremental core damage probability (ICDP), or actual increase in risk during this work window, of 6.1x10-8. The regional senior reactor analyst evaluated the licensee's risk significance evaluation and agreed with the results from the licensee's model. The ILERP, screened out as not risk significant. In accordance with Flowchart 1 in Appendix K, because the ICDP was less than 1x10-6 and the ILERP was less than 1x10-7, the finding screened as having very low safety significance (Green). This finding has a procedure adherence cross-cutting aspect in the area of human performance, because individuals did not follow processes, procedures, and work instructions. Specifically, when the additional dry cooling tower fan was declared unavailable, the licensee did not re-assess risk as soon as practical as specified in site procedures [H.8].  (Section 1R13)

On January 5, 2016, the inspectors completed an inspection of the station's readiness for seasonal extreme cold weather conditions. The inspectors reviewed the licensee's adverse weather procedures for the cold weather conditions and evaluated the licensee's implementation of these procedures. The inspectors verified that prior to the onset of cold weather, the licensee had corrected weather-related equipment deficiencies identified during the previous cold weather season. The inspectors selected four risk-significant systems that were required to be protected from cold weather conditions:  fire protection system train A  fire protection system train B  security diesel generator emergency diesel generator fuel oil storage The inspectors reviewed the licensee's procedures and design information to ensure the systems would remain functional when challenged by cold weather conditions. The inspectors verified that operator actions described in the licensee's procedures were adequate to maintain readiness of these systems. The inspectors walked down portions of these systems to verify the physical condition of the cold weather protection features. These activities constituted one sample of readiness for seasonal adverse weather, as defined in Inspection Procedure 71111.01.

Failure to Assess and Manage the Increase in Risk from Emergent Maintenance Activities
Failure to Assess and Manage the Increase in Risk from Emergent Maintenance Activities Introduction
. The inspectors identified a Green non-cited violation of 10 CFR 50.65, "Requirements for Monitoring the Effectiveness of Maintenance at Nuclear Power Plants," section a(4), for the licensee's failure to assess and manage the increase in risk during an auxiliary component cooling water (ACCW) system work window. Specifically, the licensee failed to re
-asses risk when a dry cooling tower fan in the component cooling water (CCW) system was declared unavailable during the ongoing ACCW system work window. As a result, for approximately 6 hours, on
-line risk was maintained as Green when it should have been elevated to Orange, which would have required additional risk management actions.


=====Introduction.=====
=====Description.=====
The inspectors identified a Green non-cited violation of 10 CFR 50.65, "Requirements for Monitoring the Effectiveness of Maintenance at Nuclear Power Plants," section a(4), for the licensee's failure to assess and manage the increase in risk during an auxiliary component cooling water (ACCW) system work window. Specifically, the licensee failed to re-asses risk when a dry cooling tower fan in the component cooling water (CCW) system was declared unavailable during the ongoing ACCW system work window. As a result, for approximately 6 hours, on-line risk was maintained as Green when it should have been elevated to Orange, which would have required additional risk management actions.
On January 26, 2016, the licensee was conducting planned maintenance on train A of the ACCW system. In addition to ACCW train A, other unavailable plant equipment included dry cooling tower fan 1A, the train B CCW pump, and the emergency diesel generator B2 air receiver. For this work window, the Plant Safety Index had been assessed as 9.3, which meant on
-line risk was Green.


=====Description.=====
At 8:47 a.m., dry cooling tower fan 12A started in slow speed with the control switch in the off position. The control room operators placed dry cooling tower fan 12A in fast speed to maintain its availability. At 11:58 a.m., operations personnel opened the circuit breaker for dry cooling tower fan 12A because the fan started cycling and did not consistently remain in fast speed.

-line risk purposes. Since Waterford Technical Specification 3.7.3, "Component Cooling Water and Auxiliary Component Cooling Water Systems," allows up to three dry cooling tower fans to be inoperable before entering the Limiting Condition for Operation Action Statement, operations personnel did not consider it a priority to immediately assess the impact of this additional unavailability on on
-line risk. Consequently, the site proceeded with the maintenance activities on the ACCW system as planned.

Consequently, the site proceeded with the maintenance activities on the ACCW system as planned.
At 5:45 p.m., a risk assessment was completed and operations personnel discovered that the Plant Safety Index had changed to 7.6 when dry cooling tower fan 12A was declared unavailable. As a result, the plant's on
-line risk was Orange and had been in that condition for nearly 6 hours. After this discovery, the licensee took actions to lower on-line risk by closing the breaker on dry cooling tower fan 12A and restoring it to available status.

The plant's on
-line risk was restored to Green at 7:45 p.m. the same day.


During their review of this issue, the inspectors noted that the licensee had not identified the inadequate timeliness with which the risk assessment was performed. Procedure EN-WM-104, "On-Line Risk Assessment," step 5.2[1](a) states that operations will perform risk assessments for emergent items, unplanned maintenance activities, or conditions impacting risk as soon as practical using quantitative and/or qualitative considerations. The inspectors also noted that this failure to adequately assess and manage risk was not recognized as a failure to meet site expectations since operations personnel were under the mindset that it was not a significant issue because this condition was allowed by plant technical specifications.

=====Analysis.=====
=====Analysis.=====
The inspectors determined that the licensee's failure to re-assess and manage the increase in risk during an ACCW system work window when dry cooling tower fan 12A became unexpectedly unavailable was a performance deficiency which was reasonably within their ability to foresee and correct. The performance deficiency was more than minor, and therefore a finding, because it associated with the configuration control attribute of the Mitigating Systems Cornerstone and adversely affected the cornerstone objective of ensuring the availability, reliability, and capability of systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences. Specifically, by not ensuring the risk assessment was adequate when an additional component was emergently declared unavailable, the licensee proceeded with a maintenance work window with no understanding of the increased risk associated with a different plant configuration. As a result, additional risk mitigating actions were not performed and activities to restore the plant to a lower risk condition were delayed.

As a result, additional risk mitigating actions were not performed and activities to restore the plant to a lower risk condition were delayed.


The inspectors used Inspection Manual Chapter 0609, Appendix K, "Maintenance Risk Assessment and Risk Management Significance Determination Process," dated May 19, 2005, Flowchart 1, "Assessment of Risk Deficit," and determined the need to calculate the risk deficit to determine the significance of this issue. The risk deficits were assumed to be equal to the incremental core damage probability (ICDP)actual and incremental large early release probability (ILERP)actual. The Waterford probabilistic risk assessment model yielded an incremental core damage probability (ICDP), or actual increase in risk during this work window, of 6.1x10-8. The regional senior reactor analyst evaluated the licensee's risk significance evaluation and agreed with the results from the licensee's model. The ILERP, screened out as not risk significant. In accordance with Flowchart 1 in Appendix K, because the ICDP was less than 1x10-6 and the ILERP was less than 1x10-7, the finding screened as having very low safety significance (Green). This finding had a cross-cutting aspect in the area of human performance, procedure adherence, because individuals did not follow processes, procedures and work instructions. Specifically, when dry cooling tower fan 12A was declared unavailable, the licensee did not re-assess risk as soon as practical as specified in site procedures [H.8].

=====Enforcement.=====
=====Enforcement.=====
Title 10 CFR 50.65, "Requirements for Monitoring the Effectiveness of Maintenance at Nuclear Power Plants," section a(4), states, in part, that the licensee shall assess and manage the increase in risk that may result from the proposed maintenance activities. Contrary to the above, on January 26, 2016, the licensee failed to assess and manage risk that resulted from a proposed maintenance activity. Specifically, during an ACCW system maintenance work window, a dry cooling tower fan in the CCW system was emergently declared unavailable; however, the increase in risk was not adequately accounted for in a timely manner in accordance with site procedures. As a result, for approximately 6 hours, on-line risk was maintained as Green when it should have been elevated to Orange, which would have required additional risk management actions. The licensee entered this issue into their corrective action program as Condition Report CR-WF3-2016-0660. Corrective actions included restoring the dry cooling tower fan to available status such that risk returned to Green, and sending a communication to operations supervisors to re-emphasize the requirements to adequately address unavailability of plant components. Because the licensee has entered the issue into their corrective action program and the finding is of very low safety significance, this violation of 10 CFR 50.65(a)(4) is being treated as an non-cited violation, consistent with Section 2.3.2 of the NRC Enforcement Policy:  NCV 05000382/2016001-01, "Failure to Assess and Manage the Increase in Risk from Emergent Maintenance Activities."

===.1 (Closed) Licensee Event Report===
The inspectors' review of the reactor trip was documented in NRC Integrated Inspection Report 05000382/2015003. Following the reactor trip, off-site power train B failed to transfer from the unit auxiliary transformer to the unit startup transformers. Subsequently, emergency diesel generator B started and powered the safety-related train B electrical buses. In reviewing the causes of the failure of the fast bus transfer, the inspectors reviewed a performance deficiency associated with the design of the alarm circuit installed for the fast bus transfer electrical components. However, since the alarm circuit did not play a role in the failure of the fast bus transfer, the inspectors determined the performance deficiency to be minor.

Temporary Instruction 2515/190 - Inspection of the Proposed Interim Actions Associated with Near-Term Task Force Recommendation 2.1 Flooding Hazard Evaluations. The inspectors independently verified that the licensee's proposed interim actions would perform their intended function for flooding mitigation. Specifically:  Through a tabletop simulation with the licensee, the inspectors reviewed the sequence of licensee activities from the initial triggers that prompt them to implement their interim actions, through full implementation of those actions. The inspectors verified not only that the associated procedures clearly describe how to implement the interim actions, but also that the licensee staff has ready access to the necessary resources.


The inspectors visually examined each relevant flood-protection feature for any indication of degradation that could prevent the feature from performing its credited function.

==4OA7 Licensee-Identified Violations The following violation of very low safety significance (Green) was identified by the licensee and is a violation of NRC requirements which meets the criteria of the NRC Enforcement Policy for being dispositioned as a non-cited violations.==
==4OA7 Licensee-Identified Violations==


Technical Specification 6.8.1, states, in part, that written procedures shall be established, implemented, and maintained covering the applicable procedures recommended in Regulatory Guide 1.33, Revision 2, Appendix A, February 1978. Regulatory Guide 1.33, "Quality Assurance Program Requirements," Appendix A, Section 2.l, requires procedures for refueling and core alterations. Step 6.2.1 of Procedure OP-001-005, Revision 309, "RCS Drain and Fill Below RCS Hot Leg Centerline," instructs the licensee to verify, in part, that "Containment Purge is aligned for Refueling Ventilation with RAB Normal Ventilation, or adequate provisions or controls are in place to acceptably address radiological concerns."  Contrary to the above, on November 18, 2015, the licensee failed to verify that Containment Purge was aligned for Refueling Ventilation with RAB Normal Ventilation or that adequate controls were in place to acceptably address radiological concerns. Specifically, the licensee proceeded with RCS fill without radiation protection monitoring for airborne radioactivity in the vicinity of the TRH hoses as required. The alignment for Refueling Ventilation was not completed because the required valve (CAP-201), which allows alignment between containment purge and refuel ventilation, was inoperable. The licensee indicated that this condition had existed since at least Refueling Outage 18 in 2012. This finding adversely affected the Occupational Radiation Safety cornerstone because it had the potential to cause a high airborne condition local to the refuel cavity and cause unplanned exposures. The licensee's immediate corrective action was to initiate a work order to complete repairs of the inoperable CAP-201 valve. The licensee entered this issue into their corrective action program as CR-WF3-2015-08474. The significance of the finding was determined to be of very low safety significance (Green) because it was: (1) not an ALARA finding, (2) did not result in an overexposure, (3) did not involve substantial potential for an exposure, and (4) the ability to assess dose was not compromised. Licensee-identified findings do not involve cross-cutting aspects.
The following violation of very low safety significance (Green) was identified by the licensee and is a violation of NRC requirements which meets the criteria of the NRC Enforcement Policy fo r being dispositioned as a non

SUMMARY

IR 05000382/2016001; 01/01/2016 - 03/31/2016; Waterford Steam Electric Station, Unit 3; Maintenance Risk Assessments and Emergent Work Control The inspection activities described in this report were performed between January 1 and March 31, 2016, by the resident inspectors and inspectors from the NRC's Region IV office

. One finding of very low safety significance (Green) is documented in this report. This finding involved a violation of NRC requirements. The significance of inspection findings is indicated by their color (Green, White, Yellow, or Red), which is determined using Inspection Manual Chapter 0609, "Significance Determination Process." Their cross-cutting aspects are determined using Inspection Manual Chapter 0310, "Aspects within the Cross-Cutting Areas." Violations of NRC requirements are dispositioned in accordance with the NRC Enforcement Policy. The NRC's program for overseeing the safe operation of commercial nuclear power reactors is described in NUREG

-1649, "Reactor Oversight Process."

Cornerstone: Mitigating Systems

Green.

The inspectors identified a non-cited violation of 10 CFR 50.65, "Requirements for Monitoring the Effectiveness of Maintenance at Nuclear Power Plants," section a(4), for the licensee's failure to assess and manage the increase in risk during an auxiliary component cooling water system work window. Specifically, the licensee failed to re-asses risk when a dry cooling tower fan in the component cooling water system was declared unavailable during the ongoing auxiliary component cooling water system work window. As a result, for approximately 6 hours6.944444e-5 days <br />0.00167 hours <br />9.920635e-6 weeks <br />2.283e-6 months <br />, on-line risk was maintained as Green when it should have been elevated to Orange, which would have required additional risk management actions. The licensee entered this issue into their corrective action program as Condition Report CR-WF3-2016-0660. Corrective actions included restoring the dry cooling tower fan to available status such that risk returned to Green and sending a communication to operations supervisors to re-emphasize the requirements to adequately address unavailability of plant components.

The inspectors determined that the performance deficiency was more than minor, and therefore a finding, because it was associated with the configuration control attribute of the Mitigating Systems Cornerstone, and adversely affected the cornerstone objective of ensuring the availability, reliability, and capability of systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences. Specifically, by not ensuring the risk assessment was adequate when an additional component was emergently declared unavailable, the licensee proceeded with a maintenance work window with no understanding of the increased risk associated with a different plant configuration. The inspectors used Inspection Manual Chapter 0609, Appendix K, "Maintenance Risk Assessment and Risk Management Significance Determination Process," dated May 19, 2005, Flowchart 1, "Assessment of Risk Deficit

," and determined the need to calculate the risk deficit to determine the significance of this issue. The risk deficits were assumed to be equal to the incremental core damage probability (ICDP)actual and incremental large early release probability (ILERP)actual. The Waterford probabilistic risk assessment model yielded an incremental core damage probability (ICDP), or actual increase in risk during this work window, of 6.1x10

-8. The regional senior reactor analyst evaluated the licensee's risk significance evaluation and agreed with the results from the licensee's model.

The ILERP

, screened out as not risk significant

. In accordance with Flowchart in Appendix K, because the ICDP was less than 1x10

-6 and the ILERP was less than 1x10-7, the finding screened as having very low safety significance (Green). This finding has a procedure adherence cross-cutting aspect in the area of human performance, because individuals did not follow processes, procedures

, and work instructions. Specifically, when the additional dry cooling tower fan was declared unavailable, the licensee did not re-assess risk as soon as practical as specified in site procedures

[H.8]. (Section 1R13)

Licensee-Identified Violations

A violation of very low safety significance that wa s identified by the licensee has been reviewed by the inspectors.

Corrective actions taken or planned by the licensee have been entered into the licensee's corrective action program.

This violation and associated corrective action tracking numbers are listed in Section 4OA7 of this report.

PLANT STATUS

The Waterford Steam Electric Station, Unit 3, began the inspection period at 100 percent power and remained at 100 percent power for the duration of the inspection period.

b. Findings

Failure to Assess and Manage the Increase in Risk from Emergent Maintenance Activities Introduction

. The inspectors identified a Green non-cited violation of 10 CFR 50.65, "Requirements for Monitoring the Effectiveness of Maintenance at Nuclear Power Plants," section a(4), for the licensee's failure to assess and manage the increase in risk during an auxiliary component cooling water (ACCW) system work window. Specifically, the licensee failed to re

-asses risk when a dry cooling tower fan in the component cooling water (CCW) system was declared unavailable during the ongoing ACCW system work window. As a result, for approximately 6 hours6.944444e-5 days <br />0.00167 hours <br />9.920635e-6 weeks <br />2.283e-6 months <br />, on

-line risk was maintained as Green when it should have been elevated to Orange, which would have required additional risk management actions.

Description.

On January 26, 2016, the licensee was conducting planned maintenance on train A of the ACCW system. In addition to ACCW train A, other unavailable plant equipment included dry cooling tower fan 1A, the train B CCW pump, and the emergency diesel generator B2 air receiver. For this work window, the Plant Safety Index had been assessed as 9.3, which meant on

-line risk was Green.

At 8:47 a.m., dry cooling tower fan 12A started in slow speed with the control switch in the off position. The control room operators placed dry cooling tower fan 12A in fast speed to maintain its availability. At 11:58 a.m., operations personnel opened the circuit breaker for dry cooling tower fan 12A because the fan started cycling and did not consistently remain in fast speed. When the operators opened the breaker for dry cooling tower fan 12A, the fan was declared unavailable for on

-line risk purposes. Since Waterford Technical Specification 3.7.3, "Component Cooling Water and Auxiliary Component Cooling Water Systems," allows up to three dry cooling tower fans to be inoperable before entering the Limiting Condition for Operation Action Statement, operations personnel did not consider it a priority to immediately assess the impact of this additional unavailability on on

-line risk. Consequently, the site proceeded with the maintenance activities on the ACCW system as planned.

At 5:45 p.m., a risk assessment was completed and operations personnel discovered that the Plant Safety Index had changed to 7.6 when dry cooling tower fan 12A was declared unavailable. As a result, the plant's on

-line risk was Orange and had been in that condition for nearly 6 hours6.944444e-5 days <br />0.00167 hours <br />9.920635e-6 weeks <br />2.283e-6 months <br />. After this discovery, the licensee took actions to lower on-line risk by closing the breaker on dry cooling tower fan 12A and restoring it to available status.

The plant's on

-line risk was restored to Green at 7:45 p.m. the same day.

During their review of this issue, the inspectors noted that the licensee had not identified the inadequate timeliness with which the risk assessment was performed. Procedure EN-WM-104, "On-Line Risk Assessment," step 5.2[1](a) states that operations will perform risk assessments for emergent items, unplanned maintenance activities, or conditions impacting risk as soon as practical using quantitative and/or qualitative considerations. The inspectors also noted that this failure to adequately assess and manage risk was not recognized as a failure to meet site expectations since operations personnel were under the mindset that it was not a significant issue because this condition was allowed by plant technical specifications

.

Analysis.

The inspectors determined that the licensee's failure to re

-assess and manage the increase in risk during an ACCW system work window when dry cooling tower fan 12A became unexpectedly unavailable was a performance deficiency which was reasonably within their ability to foresee and correct. The performance deficiency was more than minor, and therefore a finding, because it associated with the configuration control attribute of the Mitigating Systems Cornerstone and adversely affected the cornerstone objective of ensuring the availability, reliability, and capability of systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences. Specifically, by not ensuring the risk assessment was adequate when an additional component was emergently declared unavailable, the licensee proceeded with a maintenance work window with no understanding of the increased risk associated with a different plant configuration. As a result, additional risk mitigating actions were not performed and activities to restore the plant to a lower risk condition were delayed.

The inspectors used Inspection Manual Chapter 0609, Appendix K, "Maintenance Risk Assessment and Risk Management Significance Determination Process," dated May 19, 2005, Flowchart 1, "Assessment of Risk Deficit

," and determined the need to calculate the risk deficit to determine the significance of this issue. The risk deficits were assumed to be equal to the incremental core damage probability (ICDP)actual and incremental large early release probability (ILERP)actual. The Waterford probabilistic risk assessment model yielded an incremental core damage probability (ICDP), or actual increase in risk during this work window, of 6.1x10

-8. The regional senior reactor analyst evaluated the licensee's risk significance evaluation and agreed with the results from the licensee's model. The ILERP, screened out as not risk significant

. In accordance with Flowchart 1 in Appendix K, because the ICDP was less than 1x10

-6 and the ILERP was less than 1x10-7, the finding screened as having very low safety significance (Green). This finding had a cross

-cutting aspect in the area of human performance, procedure adherence, because individuals did not follow processes, procedures and work instructions. Specifically, when dry cooling tower fan 12A was declared unavailable, the licensee did not re

-assess risk as soon as practical as specified in site procedures [H.8]

.

Enforcement.

Title 10 CFR 50.65, "Requirements for Monitoring the Effectiveness of Maintenance at Nuclear Power Plants," section a(4), state s, in part, that the licensee shall assess and manage the increase in risk that may result from the proposed maintenance activities.

Contrary to the above, on January 26, 2016, the licensee failed to assess and manage risk that resulted from a proposed maintenance activity. Specifically, during an ACCW system maintenance work window, a dry cooling tower fan in the CCW system was emergently declared unavailable; however, the increase in risk was not adequately accounted for in a timely manner in accordance with site procedures. As a result, for approximately 6 hours6.944444e-5 days <br />0.00167 hours <br />9.920635e-6 weeks <br />2.283e-6 months <br />, on

-line risk was maintained as Green when it should have b een elevated to Orange, which would have required additional risk management actions. The licensee entered this issue into their corrective action program as Condition Report CR-WF3-2016-0660. Corrective actions included restoring the dry cooling tower fan to available status such that risk returned to Green, and sending a communication to operations supervisors to re

-emphasize the requirements to adequately address unavailability of plant components. Because the licensee has entered the issue into their corrective action program and the finding is of very low safety significance, this violation of 10 CFR 50.65(a)(4) is being treated as an non-cited violation, consistent with Section 2.3.2 of the NRC Enforcement Policy

4OA3 Follow-up of Events and Notices of Enforcement Discretion

.1 (Closed) Licensee Event Report

05000382/2015 01, "Manual Reactor Trip due to Low Steam Generator Levels

" On June 3, 2015, at approximately 5:05 p.m., the control room operators manually tripped the reactor in anticipation of an automatic reactor trip. The inspectors' review of the reactor trip was documented in NRC Integrated Inspection Report 05000382/2015003. Following the reactor trip, off-site power train B failed to transfer from the unit auxiliary transformer to the unit startup transformers. Subsequently, emergency diesel generator B started and powered the safety

-related train B electrical buses. In reviewing the causes of the failure of the fast bus transfer, the inspectors reviewed a performance deficiency associated with the design of the alarm circuit installed for the fast bus transfer electrical components.

However, since the alarm circuit did not play a role in the failure of the fast bus transfer, the inspectors determined the performance deficiency to be minor. The previous revision of this licensee event report was included as part of this review

. This licensee event report is closed.

.2 (Closed) Licensee Event Report 05000382/201

4-004-03, "Emergency Diesel Generators Rendered Inoperable by Potential Water Intrusion into Diesel Fuel Oil Feed Tanks

" During a plant walk-down on October 22, 2014, the inspectors identified through-wall corrosion on the emergency diesel generator fuel oil day tank vents.

The holes in these vent pipes could have allowed water to enter the day tanks and contaminate the diesel fuel oil, challenging the operability a nd functionality of both safety

-related emergency diesel generators.

The inspectors documented their findings in NRC Inspection Reports 05000382/2014007 and 05000382/2015001.

The inspectors review ed the licensee event report associated with this event and did not identify additional performance deficiencies. The previous revisions of this licensee event report were included as part of this review. This licensee event report is closed. These activities constitute completion of two event follow

-up samples, as defined in Inspection Procedure 71153.

4OA5 Other Activities

Temporary Instruction 2515/190

- Inspection of the Proposed Interim Actions Associated with Near

-Term Task Force Recommendation 2.1 Flooding Hazard Evaluations.

The inspectors independently verified that the licensee's proposed interim actions would perform their intended function for flooding mitigation. Specifically:

Through a tabletop simulation with the licensee, the inspectors reviewed the sequence of licensee activities from the initial triggers that prompt them to implement their interim actions, through full implementation of those actions. The inspector s verified not only that the associated procedures clearly describe how to implement the interim actions, but also that the licensee staff has ready access to the necessary resources.

The inspectors visually examined each relevant flood

-protection feature for any indication of degradation that could prevent the feature from performing its credited function.

The inspectors walked down the associated manual actions, to verify that operators would have access to both the implementing procedures and the involved components during postulated adverse conditions.

Through these reviews, examinations, and walk

-downs, the inspectors only identified administrative issues. The inspectors verified that the licensee entered those issues into their corrective action program.

4OA6 Meetings, Including Exit

Exit Meeting Summary

On March 24, 2016, the inspectors presented the radiation safety inspection results to Mr. R an Gilmore, General Plant Manager of Operations, and other members of the licensee staff. The licensee acknowledged the issues presented. The licensee confirmed that any proprietary information reviewed by the inspectors had been returned or destroyed.

On April 21, 2016, the resident inspectors presented the inspection results to Mr. Michael Chisum, and other members of the licensee staff. The licensee acknowledged the issues presented. The licensee confirmed that any proprietary information reviewed by the inspectors had been returned or destroyed.

4OA7 Licensee-Identified Violations

The following violation of very low safety significance (Green) was identified by the licensee and is a violation of NRC requirements which meets the criteria of the NRC Enforcement Policy fo r being dispositioned as a non

-cited violations.

Technical Specification 6.8.1, states, in part, that written procedures shall be established, implemented, and maintained covering the applicable procedures recommended in Regulatory Guide 1.33, Revision 2, Appendix A, February 1978. Regulatory Guide 1.33, "Quality Assurance Program Requirements," Appendix A, Section 2.l, requires procedures for refueling and core alterations. Step 6.2.1 of Procedure OP 005, Revision 309, "RCS Drain and Fill Below RCS Hot Leg Centerline," instructs the licensee to verify, in part, that "Containment Purge is aligned for Refueling Ventilation with RAB Normal Ventilation, or adequate provisions or controls are in place to acceptably address radiological concerns." Contrary to the above, on November 18, 2015, the licensee failed to verify that Containment Purge was aligned for Refueling Ventilation with RAB Normal Ventilation or that adequate controls were in place to acceptably address radiological concerns. Specifically, the licensee proceeded with RCS fill without radiation protection monitoring for airborne radioactivity in the vicinity of the TRH hoses as required. The alignment for Refueling Ventilation was not completed because the required valve (CAP

-201), which allows alignment between containment purge and refuel ventilation, was inoperable. The licensee indicated that this condition had existed since at least Refueling Outage 18 in 2012. This finding adversely affected the Occupational Radiation Safety cornerstone because it had the potential to cause a high airborne condition local to the refuel cavity and cause unplanned exposures. The licensee's immediate corrective action was to initiate a work order to complete repairs of the inoperable CAP

-201 valve. The licensee entered this issue into their corrective action program as CR

-WF3-2015-08474. The significance of the finding was determined to be of very low safety significance (Green) because it was: (1) not an ALARA finding, (2) did not result in an overexposure, (3) did not involve substantial potential for an exposure, and (4) the ability to assess dose was not compromised. Licensee

-identified findings do not involve cross

-cutting aspects.
