SUBJECT: SEQUOYAH NUCLEAR PLANT - NRC INTEGRATED INSPECTION REPORT

05000327/2013005 AND 05000328/2013005

Dear Mr. Shea:

On December 31, 2013, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed an

inspection at your Sequoyah Nuclear Plant, Units 1 and 2. On January 13, 2014, the NRC

inspectors discussed the results of this inspection with Mr. Carlin and other members of your staff. Inspectors documented the results of this inspection in the enclosed inspection report.

NRC inspectors documented one self-revealing finding of very low safety significance (Green) in this report. This finding involved a violation of NRC requirements. The NRC is treating this

violation as a non-cited violation (NCV) consistent with Section 2.3.2.a of the NRC Enforcement

Policy.

If you contest the violation or significance of this NCV, you should provide a response within 30

days of the date of this inspection report, with the basis for your denial, to the U.S. Nuclear

Regulatory Commission, ATTN: Document Control Desk, Washington, D.C. 20555-0001; with

copies to the Regional Administrator, Region II; the Director, Office of Enforcement, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, D.C. 20555-0001; and the NRC Resident Inspector at the Sequoyah Nuclear Plant.

If you disagree with a cross-cutting aspect assignment in this report, you should provide a response within 30 days of the date of this inspection report, with the basis for your

disagreement, to the Regional Administrator, Region II, and the NRC Resident Inspector at the Sequoyah Nuclear Plant.

As a result of the Safety Culture Common Language Initiative, the terminology and coding of

cross-cutting aspects were revised beginning in calendar year (CY) 2014. New cross-cutting

aspects identified in CY 2014 will be coded under the latest revision to Inspection Manual Chapter (IMC) 0310. Cross-cutting aspects identified in the last six months of 2013 using the

previous terminology will be converted to the latest revision in accordance with the cross-reference in IMC 0310. The revised cross-cutting aspects will be evaluated for cross-cutting

themes and potential substantive cross-cutting issues in accordance with IMC 0305 starting with

the CY 2014 mid-cycle assessment review.

The report covered a three-month period of inspection by resident inspectors and announced

inspections by regional inspectors. One self-revealing finding was identified. The significance

of most findings is indicated by their color (Green, White, Yellow, Red) using Inspection Manual Chapter (IMC) 0609, "Significance Determination Process," (SDP) dated June 2, 2011. Cross-cutting aspects are determined using IMC 0310, "Components Within the Cross-Cutting Areas,"

dated October 28, 2011. The NRC's program for ov

erseeing the safe operation of commercial nuclear power reactors is described in NUREG-1649, "Reactor Oversight Process," Revision 4,

dated December 2006.

A. NRC-Identified and Self-Revealing Findings

Cornerstone: Mitigating Systems

Green: A self-revealing non-cited violation of 10 CFR 50 Appendix B, Criterion XVI, "Corrective Action," was identified for the licensee's failure to promptly correct a

condition adverse to quality within a reasonable time. Timely corrective actions were not

taken to correct a dual position indication (open and closed lights both illuminated) on

the Unit 1 'A' train residual heat removal (RHR) containment sump suction flow control

valve (FCV) 1-FCV-63-72. This licensee entered this issue into the corrective action program as problem evaluation report (PER) 772193 and performed repairs to the valve to restore the system to operable status.

This finding was determined to be more than minor because it was associated with the

Design Control attribute of the Mitigating Systems cornerstone and adversely affected the cornerstone's objective to ensure the availability, reliability, and capability of systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences (i.e., core

damage). Specifically, the finding reduced the reliability and capability of the 'A' train

RHR system to perform its safety function as designed. The finding required a detailed risk analysis as the 'A' RHR system was inoperable beyond its allowed outage time of 72

hours. The detailed risk analysis concluded that the finding was of very low safety significance (Green). This finding was determined to have a cross-cutting aspect relating to the proper classification, prioritization, and evaluation of operability and

reportability of conditions adverse to quality in the Corrective Action component of the

Problem Identification and Resolution area. P.1(c) (Section 4OA5)

B. Licensee-Identified Violations

None

1. REACTOR SAFETY

Cornerstones: Initiating Events, Mitigating Systems, and Barrier Integrity

1R01 Adverse Weather Protection

a. Inspection Scope

.1 Readiness for Seasonal Extreme Weather Conditions

The inspectors reviewed design features and licensee preparations for protecting the

essential raw cooling water (ERCW) intake structure and both Unit 1 and 2 refueling

water storage tanks (RWSTs) from extreme cold and freezing conditions. The

inspectors reviewed the Updated Final Safe

ty Analysis Report (UFSAR) and Technical Specifications (TS), reviewed implementation of licensee freeze protection procedures,

walked down portions of the systems to assess deficiencies and system readiness for extreme cold weather, and discussed prioritization and status of correcting deficiencies

with licensee personnel. Documents reviewed are listed in the Attachment. The

inspectors completed one sample.

b. Findings

No findings were identified.

1R04 Equipment Alignment

.1 Partial System Walkdown

a. Inspection Scope The inspectors performed partial walkdowns of the following three systems to verify the operability of redundant or diverse trains and components when safety equipment was

inoperable. The inspectors focused on identification of discrepancies that could impact

the function of the system and, therefore, potentially increase risk. The inspectors

reviewed applicable operating procedures, walked down control system components, and determined whether selected breakers, valves, and support equipment were in the correct position to support system operation. The inspectors also verified that the

licensee had properly identified and resolved

equipment alignment problems that could

4 Enclosure cause initiating events or impact the capability of mitigating systems or barriers and entered them into the corrective action program (CAP). Documents reviewed are listed in the Attachment. The inspectors completed 3 samples.

  • Spent fuel pool cooling during core empty period of U1R19
  • 1A emergency core cooling train while 1B 669 penetration cooler out-of-service

.2 Complete System Walkdown

a. Inspection Scope The inspectors performed a complete system walkdown of the: 1) emergency gas

treatment system/auxiliary building gas treat

ment system (ABGTS

); and 2) auxiliary building ventilation/control building ventilation systems. The purpose of this inspection

was to verify proper equipment alignment, to identify any discrepancies that could impact

the function of the system and increase risk, and to verify that the licensee properly identified and resolved equipment alignment problems that could cause events or impact the functional capability of the system.

The inspectors reviewed the UFSAR, system procedures, system drawings, and system design documents to determine the correct lineup and then examined system components and their configuration to identify any discrepancies between the existing system equipment lineup and the correct lineup. During the walkdown, the inspectors

reviewed the following:

  • Electrical power was available as required.
  • Hangers and supports were correctly installed and functional.
  • Essential support systems were operational.
  • Ancillary equipment or debris did not interfere with system performance.
  • Breakers were correctly positioned.
  • Major system components were correctly labeled.
  • Cabinets, cable trays, and conduits were correctly installed and functional.
  • Visible cabling appeared to be in good material condition.

In addition, the inspectors reviewed corrective action items and design issues associated

with the systems to determine whether any condition described in those documents

could adversely impact current system operability. Documents reviewed are listed in the Attachment. The inspectors completed two samples.

b. Findings

No findings were identified.

5 Enclosure 1R05 Fire Protection

.1 Fire Protection Tours

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors conducted a tour of the six areas important to safety listed below to assess the material condition and operational status of fire protection features. The inspectors evaluated whether: combustibles and ignition sources were controlled in

accordance with the licensee's administrative procedures; fire detection and suppression

equipment was available for use; passive fire barriers were maintained in good material

condition; and compensatory measures for out-of-service, degraded, or inoperable fire protection equipment were implemented in accordance with the licensee's fire plan. Documents reviewed are listed in the Attachment. The inspectors completed six

samples.

  • Unit 1 Lower Containment Building
  • Unit 1 Upper Containment Building
  • Control Building Elevation 685 (Auxiliary Instrument Room)
  • Control Building Elevation 706 (Cable Spreading Room)
  • ERCW Building - Elevations 688/704/720
  • Turbine Building - Elevations 662/685

b. Findings

No findings were identified.

1R06 Flood Protection Measures

.1 Internal Flooding

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors examined internal flood protection measures associated with the 1A and 1B safety injection (SI) pump rooms' internal flood design in order to verify that flood mitigation plans were consistent with the design requirements and risk analysis

assumptions. The inspectors verified that equipment essential for reactor shutdown was

properly protected from a flood caused by pipe breaks in the 1A & 1B SI pump room. Specifically, the inspectors reviewed the licensee's moderate energy line break flooding study to fully understand the licensee's flood mitigation strategy, reviewed licensee drawings and then verified that the assumptions and results remained valid. The inspectors walked down the 1A & 1B SI pump room to verify the assumed flooding sources, adequacy of common area drainage, and flood detection instrumentation to

ensure that a flooding event would not impact reactor shutdown capabilities. The

inspectors completed one sample.

6 Enclosure b. Findings No findings were identified.

1R08 Non-Destructive Examination

Activities and Welding Activities

a. Inspection Scope

From October 21-25, 2013, the inspectors conducted an on-site review of the

implementation of the licensee's in-service inspection (ISI) Program for monitoring

degradation of the reactor coolant system; emergency feedwater systems, risk-

significant piping and components, and containment systems in Unit 1.

The inspectors' activities included a review of non-destructive examinations (NDEs) to

evaluate compliance with the applicable edition of the American Society of Mechanical

Engineers (ASME) Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code,Section XI, and to verify that

indications and defects were appropriately evaluated and dispositioned in accordance with the requirements of the ASME Code,Section XI, acceptance standards or NRC

approved alternative requirement.

The inspectors directly observed or reviewed records of the following NDEs mandated

by the ASME Code to evaluate compliance with the ASME Code Section XI and Section

V requirements, and if any indications and defects were detected. Inspectors also reviewed evaluations of results that were dispositioned in accordance with the ASME Code or an NRC-approved alternative requirement.

  • Directly observed:

flange studs

o General visual examination of the outside surface of the containment shell

  • Reviewed records:

o UT examinations of reactor coolant pump #4 bolting

o VT-3 visual examination of containment penetration bolting

o Work Order 113312025 modification of component cooling water system piping

The inspectors reviewed documentation for

the repair/replacement of the following pressure boundary welds. The inspectors evaluated if the licensee applied the pre-service non-destructive examinations and acceptance criteria required by the Construction Code. In addition, the inspectors reviewed the welding procedure

specifications, welder qualifications, welding material certifications, and supporting weld

procedure qualification records to evaluate if the weld procedures were qualified in

accordance with the requirements of the Construction Code and the ASME Code Section XI.

7 Enclosure PWR Vessel Upper Head Penetration (VUHP) Inspection Activities: For the Unit 1 vessel head, a bare metal visual examination and a volumetric examination required in accordance with the requirements of ASME Code Case N-729-1 and 10 CFR

50.55a(g)(6)(ii)(D) were conducted in the previous outage and therefore not required to

be performed this outage.

Boric Acid Corrosion Control (BACC) Inspection Activities: The inspectors reviewed the licensee's BACC program activities to ensure implementation with commitments made in response to NRC Generic Letter 88-05, "Boric Acid Corrosion of Carbon Steel Reactor

Pressure Boundary," and applicable industry guidance documents. Specifically, the

inspectors performed an on-site record review of procedures and the results of the

licensee's containment walkdown inspections performed during the current refueling outage. The inspectors also reviewed Focused Self-Assessment CRP-ENG-F-13-031 of

the Boric Acid Program.

The inspectors also interviewed the BACC program owner, conducted an independent

walkdown of containment to evaluate compliance with licensee's BACC program requirements, and verified that degraded or non-conforming conditions, such as boric acid leaks, were properly identified and corrected in accordance with the licensee's

BACC and corrective action programs.

The inspectors reviewed the following evaluations and corrective actions related to

evidence of boric acid leakage to evaluate if the corrective actions completed were consistent with the requirements of the ASME Code Section XI and 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion XVI.

  • Problem Event Report (PER) 618770 - Boron buildup on 1B-B SI pump pedestal
  • PER 691545 - Boric acid build up and wet boric acid are present on transmitter sensing line 1-FT-72-41

Steam Generator (SG) Tube Inspection Activities

There were no SG tube eddy current examinations conducted during this outage. The inspectors reviewed the following documentation and evaluated them against the

licensee's TS, commitments made to the NRC, ASME Section XI, and Nuclear Energy

Institute (NEI) 97-06, "Steam Generator Program Guidelines," to ensure that the licensee

was in compliance with the schedule to skip the SG eddy current testing inspections for

the 1R19 outage:

  • AREVA document # 51-9178898-001, Sequoyah Unit Condition Monitoring for Cycle 18 and Operational Assessment for Cycles 19, 20 and 21

Identification and Resolution of Problems

The inspectors performed a review of selected ISI-related problems that were identified by the licensee and entered into the corrective action program as PERs. The inspectors reviewed the PERs to confirm the licensee had appropriately described the scope of the

problem and had initiated corrective actions. The review also included the licensee's

8 Enclosure consideration and assessment of operating experience events applicable to the plant. The inspectors performed this review to ensure compliance with 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion XVI, "Corrective Action," requirements. Documents reviewed are

listed in the Attachment.

1R20 Refueling and Other Outage Activities

.1 Unit 1 Refueling Outage Cycle 19

a. Inspection Scope

For the Unit 1 refueling outage that began on October 14, 2013, the inspectors

evaluated licensee activities to verify that the licensee considered risk in developing outage schedules, followed risk reduction methods developed to control plant

configuration, developed mitigation strategies for the loss of key safety functions, and

adhered to operating license and TS requirements that ensure defense-in-depth. The inspectors also walked down portions of Unit 1 not normally accessible during at-power

13 Enclosure operations to verify that safety-related and risk-significant SSCs were maintained in an operable condition. Specifically, between October 14 and November 21, the inspectors performed inspections and reviews of the following outage activities. Documents

reviewed are listed in the Attachment. The inspectors completed one sample.

  • Outage Plan. The inspectors reviewed the outage safety plan and contingency plans to confirm that the licensee had appropriately considered risk, industry experience, and previous site-specific problems in

developing and implementing a plan that assured maintenance of defense-in-depth.

  • Reactor Shutdown. The inspectors observed the shutdown in the control room from the time the reactor was tripped until operators placed it on the RHR system for decay heat removal to verify that TS cool down restrictions were followed. The

inspectors also toured the lower containment as soon as practicable after reactor

shutdown to observe the general condition of the reactor coolant system (RCS) and

emergency core cooling system components and to look for indications of previously unidentified leakage inside the polar crane wall.

  • Licensee Control of Outage Activities. On a daily basis, the inspectors attended the licensee outage turnover meeting, reviewed PERs, and reviewed the defense-in-depth status sheets to verify that status control was commensurate with the outage

safety plan and in compliance with the applicable TS when taking equipment out of

service. The inspectors further toured the main control room and areas of the plant daily to ensure that the following key safety functions were maintained in accordance with the outage safety plan and TS: electrical power, decay heat removal, spent fuel

cooling, inventory control, reactivity control, and containment closure. The

inspectors also observed a tag-out of the "B" Train CCP system to verify that the

equipment was appropriately configured to safely support the work and testing. To

ensure that RCS level instrumentation was properly installed and configured to give accurate information, the inspectors reviewed the installation of the Mansell level monitoring system. Specifically, the inspectors discussed the system with engineering, walked it down to verify that it was installed in accordance with

procedures and adequately protected from inadvertent damage, verified that Mansell

indication properly overlapped with pressurizer level instruments during pressurizer drain-down, verified that operators properly set level alarms to procedurally required set-points, and verified that the system consistently tracked RCS level while lowering

to reduced inventory conditions. The inspectors also observed operators compare

the Mansell indications with locally-installed ultrasonic level indicators during entry into reduced inventory conditions.

14 Enclosure

  • Refueling Activities. The inspectors observed fuel movement at the spent fuel pool and at the refueling cavity in order to verify compliance with TS and that each assembly was properly tracked from core offload to core reload. In order to verify proper licensee control of foreign material, the inspectors verified that personnel were properly checked before entering any foreign material exclusion (FME) areas,

reviewed FME procedures, and verified that the licensee followed the procedures.

To ensure that fuel assemblies were loaded in the core locations specified by the

design, the inspectors independently reviewed the recording of the licensee's final

core verification.

  • Reduced Inventory and Mid-Loop Conditions. Prior to the outage, the inspectors reviewed the licensee's commitments to Generic Letter 88-17. Before entering reduced inventory conditions the inspectors verified that these commitments were in

place, that plant configuration was in accordance with those commitments, and that

distractions from unexpected conditions or emergent work did not affect operator

ability to maintain the required reactor vessel level. Mid-loop conditions were not entered during this outage since SG eddy current testing was not required.

  • Heat-up and Start-up Activities. The inspectors toured the containment prior to reactor startup to verify that debris that could affect the performance of the containment sump had not been left in the containment. The inspectors reviewed

the licensee's mode-change checklists to ve

rify that appropriate prerequisites were met prior to changing TS modes. To verify RCS integrity and containment integrity, the inspectors further reviewed the licensee's RCS leakage calculations and containment isolation valve lineups. In order to verify that core operating limit

parameters were consistent with core design, the inspectors also examined portions

of the low power physics testing surveillance.

b. Findings

No findings were identified.

Cornerstone: Emergency Preparedness

1EP2 Alert and Notification System Evaluation

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors evaluated the adequacy of the licensee's methods for testing and

maintaining the alert and notification sy

stem in accordance with NRC Inspection

Procedure 71114, Attachment 02, Alert and Notification System Evaluation. The

16 Enclosure applicable planning standard, 10 CFR Part 50.47(b)(5) and its related 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix E, Section IV.D requirements were used as reference criteria. The criteria contained in NUREG-0654, Criteria for Preparation and Evaluation of Radiological

Emergency Response Plans and Preparedness in Support of Nuclear Power Plants,

Revision 1, were also used as a reference.

The inspectors reviewed various documents which are listed in the Attachment, interviewed personnel responsible for system performance, and observed aspects of periodic siren maintenance and testing. This inspection activity satisfied one inspection

sample for the alert and notification system on a biennial basis.

b. Findings

No findings were identified.

1EP3 Emergency Response Organization Staffing and Augmentation System

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors reviewed the licensee's Emergency Response Organization (ERO)

augmentation staffing requirements and process for notifying the ERO to ensure the

readiness of key staff for responding to an event and timely facility activation. The

qualification records of key position ERO personnel were reviewed to ensure all ERO qualifications were current. A sample of problems identified from augmentation drills or system tests performed since the last inspection was reviewed to assess the

effectiveness of corrective actions.

The inspection was conducted in accor

dance with NRC Inspection Procedure 71114, Attachment 03, Emergency Response Organization Staffing and Augmentation System. The applicable planning standard, 10 CFR 50.47(b)(2), and its related 10 CFR 50,

Appendix E requirements were used as reference criteria.

The inspectors reviewed various documents which are listed in the Attachment. This

inspection activity satisfied one inspection sample for the ERO staffing and augmentation system on a biennial basis.

b. Findings

No findings were identified.

1EP4 Emergency Action Level and Emergency Plan Changes

a. Inspection Scope

The NRC Office of Nuclear Security and Incident Response headquarters staff performed an in-office review of the latest revisions of various Emergency Plan Implementing Procedures (EPIPs) and the Emergency Plan located under ADAMS

17 Enclosure Accession numbers ML12326A678, ML12353A050, ML13025A102, ML13070A025, ML13219A022, and ML13246A091.

The licensee determined that in accordance with 10 CFR 50.54(q), the changes made in

the revisions resulted in no reduction in the effectiveness of the Plan, and that the

revised Plan continued to meet the requirements of 10 CFR 50.47(b) and Appendix E to

10 CFR Part 50. The NRC review was not documented in a safety evaluation report and did not constitute approval of licensee-generated changes; therefore, these revisions are subject to future inspection. Documents reviewed are listed in the Attachment. The

inspectors completed one sample.

b. Findings

No findings were identified.

1EP5 Maintenance of Emergency Preparedness

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors reviewed the corrective actions identified through the Emergency

Preparedness program to determine the significance of the issues, the completeness

and effectiveness of corrective actions, and to determine if issues were recurring. The

licensee's post-event after action reports, self-assessments, and audits were reviewed to assess the licensee's ability to be self-critical, thus avoiding complacency and degradation of their emergency preparedness program. Inspectors reviewed the

licensee's 10 CFR 50.54(q) change process, personnel training, and selected

screenings and evaluations to assess adequacy. The inspectors toured facilities and

reviewed equipment and facility maintenance records to assess licensee's adequacy in maintaining them. The inspectors evaluated the capabilities of selected radiation monitoring instrumentation to adequately support Emergency Action Level (EAL)

declarations.

18 Enclosure 2. RADIATION SAFETY (RS)

Cornerstones: Occupational Radiation Safety (OS) and Public Radiation Safety (PS)

2RS1 Radiological Hazard Assessment and Exposure Controls

a. Inspection Scope

Hazard Assessment and Instructions to Workers: During facility tours, the inspectors directly observed labeling of radioactive material and postings for radiation areas, high radiation areas (HRAs), and airborne radioactivity areas established within the

radiologically controlled area (RCA) of the Unit 1 containment, Unit 1 and Unit 2 auxiliary buildings, Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation (ISFSI), and radioactive waste (radwaste) processing and storage locations. The inspectors independently measured

radiation dose rates or directly observed conduct of licensee radiation surveys for RCA

areas in the Unit 1 containment, Unit 1 and Unit 2 Auxiliary buildings, and ISFSI. The

inspectors reviewed survey records for several plant areas including surveys for alpha emitters, airborne radioactivity, and pre-job surveys for selected Unit 1 Refueling Outage 19 (U1R19) tasks. The inspectors also discussed changes to plant operations that could

contribute to changing radiological conditions since the last inspection and reviewed

U1R19 crud burst results and post crud burst dose rate surveys. For selected U1R19

outage jobs, the inspectors attended, or reviewed, pre-job briefings and radiation work

permit (RWP) details to assess communication of radiological control requirements and current radiological conditions to workers. Selected U1R19 work activities included Unit 1 control rod drive mechanism duct work, Unit 1 Refueling Activities, Unit 1 Head O-ring

Surface Work & Inspection, and work in the Unit 1 Equipment Pit and transfer canal.

Hazard Control and Work Practices: The inspectors evaluated access barrier effectiveness for selected Unit 1 and Unit 2 Locked High Radiation Area (LHRA) and Very High Radiation Area (VHRA) locations. Changes to procedural guidance for LHRA

and VHRA controls were discussed with health physics (HP) supervisors. Controls and

their implementation for storage of irradiated material within the spent fuel pool (SFP)

were reviewed and discussed in detail. Established radiological controls (including

airborne controls) were evaluated for selected U1R19 tasks including refueling and reactor cavity work activities, work in auxiliary building HRAs, and radwaste processing and storage. In addition, licensee controls for areas where dose rates could change

significantly as a result of plant shutdown and refueling operations were reviewed and

discussed.

Occupational workers' adherence to selected RWPs and HP technician (HPT)

proficiency in providing job coverage were evaluated through direct observations and

interviews with licensee staff. Electronic dosimeter (ED) alarm set points and worker

stay times were evaluated against area radiation survey results for refueling and reactor cavity work. ED alarm logs were reviewed and worker response to dose and dose rate

alarms during selected work activities was evaluated. For HRA tasks involving significant dose rate gradients, e.g. reactor head O-ring work, the inspectors evaluated the use and placement of whole body and extremity dosimetry to monitor worker

exposure.

19 Enclosure Control of Radioactive Material: The inspectors observed surveys of material and personnel being released from the RCA using small article monitor, personnel

contamination monitor, and portal monitor instruments. The inspectors reviewed the last two calibration records for selected release point survey instruments and discussed

equipment sensitivity, alarm set points, and release program guidance with licensee

staff. The inspectors compared recent 10 CFR Part 61 results for the Dry Active Waste

(DAW) radioactive waste stream with radionuclides used in calibration sources to evaluate the appropriateness and accuracy of

release survey instrumentation. The inspectors also reviewed records of leak tests on selected sealed sources and discussed

nationally tracked source transactions with licensee staff.

Problem Identification and Resolution: PERs associated with radiological hazard assessment and control were reviewed and assessed. The inspectors evaluated the licensee's ability to identify and resolve the issues in accordance with procedure NPG-

SPP-22.300, "Corrective Action Program," Rev. 0. The inspectors also evaluated the

scope of the licensee's internal audit program and reviewed recent assessment results.

Radiation protection activities were evaluated against the requirements of UFSAR Section 12; TS Sections 6.8 and 6.12; 10 CFR Parts 19 and 20; and approved licensee

procedures. Licensee programs for monitoring materials and personnel released from

the RCA were evaluated against 10 CFR Part 20 and IE Circular 81-07, "Control of

Radioactively Contaminated Material." Documents reviewed are listed in the

Attachment. The inspectors completed one sample.

b. Findings

No findings were identified.

2RS8 Radioactive Solid Waste Processing and Radioactive Material Handling, Storage, and

Transportation

a. Inspection Scope

Waste Processing and Characterization: During inspector walkdowns, accessible sections of the liquid and solid radwaste processing systems were assessed for material condition and conformance with system design diagrams. Inspected equipment included radwaste storage tanks; resin transfer piping, resin, and filter packaging components;

and abandoned boric acid evaporator equipment. The inspectors discussed component function, processing system changes, and radwaste program implementation with licensee staff.

The radionuclide characterizations for 2010, and 2012, for selected waste streams were reviewed and discussed with Radwaste/Transportation staff. For primary resin, reactor

coolant system filters, and DAW, the inspectors evaluated analyses for hard-to-detect

nuclides, reviewed the use of scaling factors, and examined quality assurance comparison results between licensee waste stream characterizations and outside laboratory data. Waste stream mixing and concentration averaging methodology for

resins and filters was evaluated and discussed with Radwaste/Transportation staff. The

20 Enclosure inspectors also reviewed the licensee's procedural guidance for monitoring changes in waste stream isotopic mixtures. The 10 CFR 61 analysis results were also discussed

with Chemistry personnel.

Radioactive Material Storage: During walkdowns of indoor and outdoor radioactive material storage areas, the inspectors observed the physical condition and labeling of

storage containers and the posting of Radioactive Material Areas. The inspectors also reviewed licensee procedural guidance for storage and monitoring of radioactive

material.

Transportation: The inspectors observed a shipment of vendor equipment during the week of inspection. The inspectors reviewed shipping procedure requirements and discussed preparation of shipping documents, package marking and labeling, and interviewed shipping technicians regarding Department of Transportation (DOT)

regulations.

Selected shipping records were reviewed for consistency with licensee procedures and compliance with NRC and DOT regulations. The inspectors reviewed emergency response information, DOT shipping package classification, waste classification, radiation survey results, and evaluated whether receiving licensees were authorized to

accept the packages. Licensee procedures for handling shipping containers were

compared to Certificate of Compliance requirements and manufacturer

recommendations. In addition, training records for selected individuals currently qualified to ship radioactive material were reviewed.

Radwaste processing activities and equipment configuration were reviewed for

compliance with the licensee's Process Control Program and UFSAR, Chapter 11.

Waste stream characterization analyses were reviewed against regulations detailed in 10 CFR Part 20, 10 CFR Part 61, and guidance provided in the Branch Technical Position on Waste Classification (1983). Radioactive material and waste storage

activities were reviewed against the requirements of 10 CFR Part 20. Transportation

program implementation was reviewed against regulations detailed in 10 CFR Part 20,

10 CFR Part 71, 49 CFR Parts 172-178, as well as the guidance provided in NUREG-

1608. Training activities were assessed against 49 CFR Part 172, Subpart H.

Problem Identification and Resolution: The inspectors reviewed PERs in the area of radwaste processing and transportation. The inspectors evaluated the licensee's ability

to identify and resolve the issues in accordance with procedure NPG-SPP-22.300,. The

inspectors also evaluated the scope of the licensee's internal audit program and reviewed recent assessment results. Documents reviewed are listed in the Attachment. The inspectors completed one sample.

b. Findings

No findings were identified.

21 Enclosure 4. OTHER ACTIVITIES

4OA1 Performance Indicator (PI) Verification

a. Inspection Scope

Occupational Radiation Safety Cornerstone: The inspectors reviewed the Occupational Exposure Control Effectiveness PI results for the Occupational Radiation Safety Cornerstone from October 2012 through October 2013. For the assessment period, the

inspectors reviewed ED alarm logs and selected PERs related to controls for exposure

significant areas. The inspectors also reviewed licensee procedural guidance for

collecting and documenting PI data. Documents reviewed are listed in the Attachment. The inspectors completed one sample.

Emergency Preparedness Cornerstone

* Drill/Exercise Performance (DEP)
  • Emergency Response Organization Drill Participation (ERO)
  • Alert and Notification System Reliability (ANS)

For the specified review period, the inspectors examined data reported to the NRC,

procedural guidance for reporting PI information, and records used by the licensee to

identify potential PI occurrences. The inspectors verified the accuracy of the PI for ERO drill and exercise performance through review of a sample of drill and event records. The inspectors reviewed selected training records to verify the accuracy of the PI for

ERO drill participation for personnel assigned to key positions in the ERO. The

inspectors verified the accuracy of the PI for alert and notification system reliability

through review of a sample of the licensee's records of periodic system tests. The

inspectors also interviewed the licensee personnel who were responsible for collecting and evaluating the PI data. Documents reviewed are listed in the Attachment. This inspection satisfied three inspection samples for PI verification on an annual basis.

b. Findings

No findings were identified.

4OA2 Problem Identification and Resolution

.1 Routine Review

a. Inspection Scope

As required by IP 71152, "Problem Identification and Resolution," and in order to help

identify repetitive equipment failures or specific human performance issues for follow-up,

the inspectors performed a daily screening of items entered into the licensee's CAP. This was accomplished by reviewing the description of each new PER and attending daily management review committee meetings.

22 Enclosure b. Findings

No findings were identified.

.2 Annual Follow-up of Selected Issues

a. Inspection Scope The inspectors performed an in-depth review of PER 665633, "NRC identified freeze

protection issues." The inspectors reviewed the actions taken to determine if the

licensee had adequately addressed the following attributes. Documents reviewed are

listed in the Attachment. The inspectors completed one sample for Annual Follow-up of

Selected Issues.

  • Complete, accurate and timely identification of the problem
  • Evaluation and disposition of operability and reportability issues
  • Consideration of previous failures, extent of condition, generic or common cause

implications

  • Prioritization and resolution of the issue commensurate with safety significance
  • Identification of the root cause and contributing causes of the problem
  • Identification and implementation of corrective actions commensurate with the safety significance of the issue

b. Findings

No findings were identified.

.3 Semiannual Trend Review

a. Inspection Scope

As required by IP 71152, the inspectors performed a review of the licensee's corrective action program and associated documents to identify trends that could indicate the

existence of a more significant safety issue. The inspectors review was focused on

repetitive equipment issues, but also included licensee trending efforts and licensee human performance results. The inspectors review nominally considered the twelve-

month period of January 2013 through December 2013, although some examples

expanded beyond those dates when the scope of the trend warranted. Specifically, the

inspectors considered the results of daily inspector screening discussed in Section

4OA2.1 and reviewed licensee trend reports for the period in order to determine the existence of any adverse trends that the licensee may not have previously identified. Documents reviewed are listed in the Attachment. The inspectors completed one

sample for Semiannual Trend Review.

b. Findings and Observations

No findings were identified. In general, the licensee had identified trends and

23 Enclosure appropriately addressed them in their CAP. The inspectors evaluated the licensee trending methodology and observed that the licensee had performed a detailed review. The licensee routinely reviewed cause codes, involved organizations, key words, and

system links to identify potential trends in their data. The inspectors compared the

licensee process results with the results of the inspectors' daily screening. No

previously unidentified trends of significance were identified.

.4 Annual Follow-up of Operator Workarounds

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors reviewed the operator workaround (OWA) program to verify that OWAs were identified at an appropriate threshold, were entered into the CAP, and that corrective actions were appropriate and timely. Specifically, the inspectors reviewed the licensee's workaround lists and repair schedules, reviewed CAP word searches,

conducted tours and interviewed operators and operations department support staff.

Additionally, the inspectors checked for undocumented workarounds by observing operators perform rounds, reviewed operator deficiency lists, reviewed appropriate system health documents, attended plant health committee meetings, and verified that

identified program deficiencies were corrected. The inspectors evaluated all

workarounds for their aggregate impact. Documents reviewed are listed in the

Attachment. The inspectors completed one sample for Annual Follow-up of Operator

Workarounds.

b. Findings

No findings were identified.

4OA5 Other Activities

.1 (Closed) Unresolved Item (URI) 050000327/2013004-01, Water Intrusion into Actuator of

Valve 1-FCV-63-72

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors opened this URI as a result of water intrusion into the actuator of 1-FCV-

63-72, which is the 'A' train containment sump suction for the Unit 1 'A' RHR train. This issue was noted during an operability inspection conducted last quarter. The inspectors

determined more inspection was required in order to resolve the issue. On August 8, 2013, an operator noted the valve exhibited dual indication and on August 14, a related valve, 1-FCV-74-3, failed its periodic stroke test. The following day, 1-FCV-63-72 was

noted to be failed as well due to a large of amount of water buildup in the actuator. A

subsequent root cause of the failure was completed during this inspection period and

concluded the water intrusion was due to groundwater which migrated through the wall

of the RHR valve vault room and into the valve conduit. Although the circumstances regarding the water intrusion may have been beyond the licensee's ability to predict, the

24 Enclosure inspectors noted there were opportunities before August 14 to identify and correct the deficient condition. Thus, the inspectors identified the following non-cited violation (NCV) as discussed below. Documents reviewed are listed in the Attachment.

b. Findings

Introduction: A self-revealing Green NCV of 10 CFR 50 Appendix B, Criterion XVI, "Corrective Action," was identified for the licensee's failure to correct a condition adverse to quality within a reasonable amount of time. Timely corrective actions were not taken

to correct a dual position indication (open and closed lights both illuminated) on the Unit

1 'A' train RHR containment sump suction flow control valve 1-FCV-63-72.

Description: On August 8 at 0709, the Unit 1 control room operator noted that valve 1-FCV-63-72 showed dual position indication on the control board. This valve is the 'A'

train RHR suction valve from the reactor containment sump and is normally closed,

showing only a single position indication lamp on the control board. Valve 1-FCV-63-72

was verified to be locally closed. No other activities were noted that would have caused the valve to come off its closed seat. Initial troubleshooting for the dual indication consisted of: 1) a visual inspection of the valve; 2) a visual inspection of the motor control center (MCC) cubicle during an attempted closure of the valve; 3) a review of the

wiring diagram by a troubleshooting team; 4) replacement of the MCC light indicating

bulb; and 5) a visual inspection of the main control room (MCR) hand switch. Based on the troubleshooting team's analysis of the wiring diagrams, no impact was expected on the interlocks associated with 1-FCV-63-72. The team initially concluded that the most

likely cause of the indication was a short circuit in the control power indication in the

MCR valve hand switch. Based on this conclusion, plus the fact that the valve is not normally stroked at power (due to concerns of accidently transferring borated water from the RWST to the containment sump), the licensee chose not to immediately stroke test 1-FCV-63-72. Instead, the licensee declared the position indication for the valve

inoperable per Post Accident Monitoring requirements as delineated in TS 3.9.1. This was a 30 day limiting condition for operation. The licensee then began development of a

troubleshooting plan which would require more intrusive troubleshooting of the issue

starting the following week.

On August 14 at 2315, during a routine quarterly inservice testing valve stroke activity,

valve 1-FCV-74-3 failed to stroke in the closed direction from the control room. This

valve is the 'A' train RHR suction valve from the RWST and is normally open. Valve 1-FCV-74-3 was immediately declared out of service and the 72-hour Emergency Core Cooling Systems (ECCS) TS 3.5.2 action statement was entered. During troubleshooting, operators attempted to close valve 1-FCV-74-3 remotely from the MCC

cubicle. This action blew control power fuses. The licensee then attempted local

manual operation and noted 1-FVC-74-3 could be manually closed without binding.

Valve 1-FCV-74-3 was partially manually closed and then reopened from the MCC without incident. Due to the relationship between valves 1-FCV-63-72 and 1-FCV-74-3 (interlocks, shared wiring in junction boxes, etc.) the licensee suspected that the failure of valve 1-FCV-74-3 to close and valve 1-FCV-63-72 dual position indication were

related.

25 Enclosure The licensee subsequently opened the 1-FCV-63-72 actuator and noted that a significant amount of water had accumulated inside the actuator. This water caused significant electrical shorting in the valve control circuit and rendered the valve

inoperable. Also, the water affected valve 1-FCV-74-3, as this valve utilizes contacts

from valve 1-FCV-63-72 circuitry. It was noted that a low current short caused the failure

of the closing coil for valve 1-FCV-74-3. Following repairs to both 1-FCV-63-72 and

1-FCV-74-3, the ECCS system was returned to operable status on August 17 at 0200.

The licensee's past operability determination concluded that 1-FCV-63-72 and 1-FCV-

74-3 were likely inoperable beginning on August 8 when 1-FCV-63-72 was noted to have

a dual indication. Thus the 'A' train ECCS system was most likely inoperable for

approximately nine days, which exceeded the TS allowable outage time. On October 21, 2013, Licensee Event Report 50-327/2013-003 was submitted as a result of this issue. The licensee concluded that the source of the water was ground water that had

migrated through the concrete ceiling that housed the valve and actuator cables. The

ground water leaked through the threaded penetration seal and inside the conduit and

flowed down into the valve actuator. During the most recent Unit 1 refueling outage in November 2013, the licensee redesigned the conduit penetration to prevent the intrusion of moisture into the conduit. The licensee noted the rate of moisture intrusion was most

likely higher in the recent months due to a higher than normal amount of rainfall that

temporarily raised the water table in the vicinity of the plant. The inspectors also noted

that on February 29, 2012, the licensee discovered water buildup in the actuator of 1-

FCV-63-72. This deficiency was entered into the CAP; however it appears that this precursor was not adequately evaluated such that continued water intrusion ultimately led to the failure noted on August 8, 2013.

Analysis: The licensee's failure to take timely actions to correct a condition adverse to quality was a performance deficiency. The inspectors concluded that testing and inspection could have determined that valve 1-FCV-63-72 was inoperable much earlier than August 14 when it was noted that RHR suction valve to the RWST, 1-FCV-74-3, did

not pass its routine surveillance test. This finding was determined to be more than minor

because it was associated with the Design Control attribute of the Mitigating Systems

cornerstone and adversely affected the cornerstone's objective to ensure the availability, reliability, and capability of systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences (i.e., core damage). Specifically, the finding reduced the reliability and capability of the 'A' train RHR system to perform its safety function as designed. Using IMC 0609.04, "Initial Characterization of Findings," dated June 19,

2012, and IMC 0609, Appendix A, Exhibit 4 - "External Events Screening Questions,"

dated June 19, 2012, the finding required a detailed risk analysis as the 'A' RHR system was inoperable beyond its TS-allowed outage time of 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br />. The detailed risk analysis concluded that the finding was of very low safety significance (Green).

A Phase 3 analysis was performed by the regional Senior Reactor Analyst to determine the impact of the finding. The analysis assumed a recoverable failure of the 1-FCV-63-

72 valve, along with a dependent failure of the 1-FCV-74-3 valve. The major impacts were in the swapover from the RWST to the containment sump as the source of water to

26 Enclosure mitigate medium and smaller LOCA sequences. Because of the low exposure time, the availability of the opposite train, and the ability of the operations staff to operate the

effected valves manually, the finding was determined to be Green.

The cause of this finding was determined to have a cross-cutting aspect relating to the

proper classification, prioritization, and evaluation of operability and reportability of

conditions adverse to quality in the Corrective Action component of the Problem Identification and Resolution area, in that, on February 29, 2012, the licensee discovered water buildup in the actuator of 1-FCV-63-72 and did not adequately evaluated the

condition adverse to quality such that continued water intrusion ultimately led to the

failure noted on August 8, 2013. P.1(c)

Enforcement: Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion XVI, "Corrective Action," requires, in part, that measures shall be established to assure

that conditions adverse to quality, such as failures, malfunctions, deficiencies,

deviations, defective material and equipment, and non-conformances are promptly

identified and corrected. Contrary to the above, from August 8 through August 17, 2013, the licensee failed to assure that a condition adverse to quality, the failure of valve FCV-63-72, was corrected in a timely manner. Specifically, the licensee failed to sufficiently

evaluate and correct a moisture intrusion problem associated with the RHR containment

suction motor-operated valve. Corrective actions taken by the licensee included

redesigning and modifying the conduit penetration to prevent the intrusion of moisture

into the conduit. The violation was entered into the licensee's CAP as PER 772193. This violation is being treated as an NCV, consistent with Section 2.3.2 of the Enforcement Policy and will be identified as NCV 05000327/2013005-01, "Unit 1 Train

'A' RHR Containment Suction Valve Failure."

.2 Quarterly Resident Inspector Observations of Security Personnel and Activities

a. Inspection Scope

During the inspection period, the inspectors conducted observations of security force

personnel and activities to ensure that the activities were consistent with licensee security procedures and regulatory requirements relating to nuclear plant security. These observations took place during both normal and off-normal plant working hours.

These quarterly resident inspector observations of security force personnel and activities

did not constitute any additional inspection samples. Rather, they were considered an

integral part of the inspectors' normal plant status review and inspection activities.

b. Findings

No findings were identified.

27 Enclosure .3 Review of the Operation of an Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation (ISFSI)

(60855.1)

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors performed a walkdown with the field operator of the ISFSI storage pad on

December 26, 2013, to verify that operations were conducted in a safe manner in accordance with approved procedures and without undue risk to the health and safety of the public. The inspectors noted that there were 40 multi-purpose canisters (MPCs)

positioned on the ISFSI pad. The inspectors verified the MPC vents were in good

condition and free of obstruction. The inspectors also verified natural circulation within

the MPCs. The inspectors verified that any ISFSI problems were placed in the CAP. The inspectors also reviewed ISFSI document control practices to verify that changes to the required ISFSI procedures and equipment were performed in accordance with

guidelines established in local procedures and 10 CFR 72.48. Documents reviewed are

listed in the Attachment.

Shipping Records and Radwaste Data

Two Design Change Notices were reviewed and both have been accomplished. The first

moved Radwaste liquid processing from the railroad bay into the drumming room that was in

effect at the start of the period which included back to November 2010 and the second established a lift system to be used for the steam generator replacement in 2012 with a closure date of 8/13/2013.

The licensee provided several drawings delineating abandoned equipment. The inspector

chose the abandoned boric acid evaporator system to review.
