The team inquired why hourly roving fire watch patrols were not established in the Unit 1 turbine building or administratively tracked for the MCR. FENOC determined the compensatory measures were established in accordance with Section 7.16.5 of 1/2-1900-ADM, Fire Protection Program, which stated If inadequate separation of trains of safe shutdown equipment or circuits is identified, the condition SHALL be considered a nonfunctional fire barrier for determination of compensatory measures. Attachment B, Technical Requirements For Fire Protection System, of 1/2-1900-ADM, for nonfunctional fire barriers required, in part, that an hourly fire watch patrol be established in one of the two adjacent fire areas for a nonfunctional fire barrier. FENOC determined for BVPS Unit 1 involving three contiguous fire areas, that an hourly fire watch patrol established in the middle fire area, the cable spread room, would satisfy the requirements of Section 7.16.5 of 1/2-1900-ADM. However, the team noted for this unique circuit issue that a secondary fire could be postulated to occur in a fire area not adjacent to the primary fire area. Therefore hourly fire watch patrols established in all affected fire areas was appropriate. Because the compensatory measures were determined to be inadequate,

SUBJECT: BEAVER VALLEY POWER STATION - TRIENNIAL FIRE PROTECTION INSPECTION REPORT 05000334/2015007 AND 05000412/2015007 EXERCISE OF ENFORCEMENT DISCRETION

Dear Mr. Larson:

On August 21, 2015, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed a triennial fire protection inspection at your Beaver Valley Power Station, Units 1 and 2 facility. The enclosed inspection report documents the inspection results, which were discussed on August 21, 2015, with you and other members of your staff.

The inspection examined activities conducted under your license as they relate to safety and compliance with the Commission's rules and regulations, and with the conditions of your license. The inspectors reviewed selected procedures and records, observed activities, and interviewed station personnel. The inspectors also reviewed mitigation strategies for addressing large fires and explosions.

Based on the results of this inspection, three findings of very low safety significance (Green)

were identified by the NRC. These findings were also determined to be violations of NRC requirements. The NRC screened these and determ ined that two of the findings warranted enforcement discretion per Section 9.1 of the NRC Enforcement Policy, "Enforcement Discretion for Certain Fire Protection Issues (10 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 50.48)." A third finding, because of its very low safety significance, and because it was entered into your corrective action program, the NRC is treating this finding as a non-cited violation (NCV)

consistent with Section 2.3.2 of the NRC Enforcement Policy. If you contest any NCV in this report, you should provide a written response within 30 days of the date of this inspection report with the basis for your denial, to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, ATTN: Document Control Desk, Washington D.C. 20555-0001; with copies to the Regional Administrator, Region I; the Director, Office of Enforcement; and the NRC Senior Resident Inspector at the Beaver Valley Power Station. In addition, if you disagree with the cross-cutting aspect assigned to any finding 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 I, and the Resident Inspector at the Beaver Valley Power Station. In accordance with Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) 2.390 of the NRC's "Rules of Practice," a copy of this letter, its enclosure, and your response (if any) will be available electronically for public inspection in the NRC Public Document Room or from the Publicly Available Records System (PAR S) component of the NRC's document system, Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS).

ADAMS is accessible from the NRC Web Site at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html (the Public Electronic Reading Room).

SUMMARY OF FINDINGS

Inspection Report 05000334/2015007 and 05000412/2015007; 08/3/2015 - 08/21/2015;

Beaver Valley Power Station, Units 1 and 2; Triennial Fire Protection Inspection Report.

The report covered a two-week triennial fire protection team inspection by specialist inspectors. One finding of very low significance was identified for assessment. This finding was determined to be a non-cited violation. The significance of most findings is indicated by their color (Green, White, Yellow, Red) using Inspection Manual Chapter (IMC) 0609, "Significance Determination Process." Cross-cutting aspects associated with findings are determined using IMC 0310,

"Components Within The Cross-Cutting Areas." Findings for which the significance determination process does not apply may be Green or be assigned a severity level after NRC management review. The NRC's program for overseeing the safe operation of commercial nuclear power reactors is described in NUREG-1649, "Reactor Oversight Process," Revision 5, dated February 2014.

Cornerstone: Mitigating Systems

Green.

On April 30, 2014, FENOC identified a violation of very low safety significance of 10 CFR 50, Appendix R, Section III.G for BVPS Unit 1 in that unfused direct current (DC) control circuits for DC motors were routed from the turbine building through other fire areas. The DC breakers used to protect the motor power conductors were insufficient to protect the control conductors for these circuits and it is postulated that a fire induced short in one fire area could adversely impact safe shutdown equipment by overheating the cable and causing a secondary fire in other fire areas where the cable is routed. The team identified that FENOC did not establish a fire watch in one of the affected fire areas, the turbine building, as a compensatory measure. Therefore, because FENOC did not initiate immediate corrective action or compensatory measures or both within a reasonable time, enforcement discretion will not be exercised. This violation will be treated as a NRC-identified violation. In response to the NRC finding, FENOC promptly initiated a one hour roving fire watch patrol in the turbine building.

The lack of compensatory measures in the turbine building occurred because administrative procedure, 1/2-ADM-1900, Fire Protection Program, used to determine compensatory measures for fire protection program deficiencies, was inadequate in its guidance to plant personnel for review of cable separation issues. For cable separation issues, 1/2-ADM-1900 required fire watches in only one of two affected adjacent fire areas. FENOC entered this issue into its corrective action program as condition report (CR) CR-2015-10546 and planned to revise 1/2-ADM-1900 to ensure fire watches were established in all affected fire areas that involved cable separation issues. FENOC initiated CR-2014-07961 to resolve the DC circuit non-conformance using National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 805 performance based fire risk evaluations considering the low probability of a secondary cable fire due to overheating of cables associated with the pump motor control circuits during an electrical fault condition with no circuit protection.

This finding was more than minor because it adversely affected the protection against external factors (i.e., fire) attribute of the Mitigating Systems Cornerstone and affected the cornerstone objective of ensuring the availability and reliability of systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences.

iii FENOC reviewed the cable routes and evaluated this issue through use of its fire probabilistic risk assessment (PRA). FENOC determined that the change in core damage frequency attributed to the issue for Unit 1 was 8.5E-7 per reactor year. NRC staff reviewed this evaluation and concluded that the risk numbers were bounded by conservative assumptions and that this issue would be of very low safety significance. This finding had a cross-cutting aspect in the area of Human Performance, Resources, because FENOC did not ensure that procedures were adequate to support nuclear safety. Specifically, 1/2-1900-ADM was too restrictive for safe shutdown circuit separation issues in that it mandated an hourly fire watch patrol in only one of the two adjacent fire areas and for this issue FENOC did not appropriately establish an hourly fire watch patrol in the Unit 1 turbine building.

REPORT DETAILS

Background

This report presents the results of a triennial fire protection inspection conducted in accordance

with the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) Inspection Procedure (IP) 71111.05T, "Fire Protection (Triennial)." The objective of the inspection was to assess whether FENOC had implemented an adequate fire protection program (FPP) and whether post-fire safe shutdown capabilities had been established and were properly maintained at the BVPS, Units 1 and 2 facility. The following fire areas (FA) were selected for detailed review based on prior inspection results and risk insights from the BVPS Individual Plant Examination /Individual Plant Examination of External Events:

  • FA 1 DG-1, Unit 1 Diesel Generator Cubicle;
  • FA 1 CR-2, Unit 1 Control Room Heating Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) Equipment Room;
  • FA 2 CB6, Unit 2 Control Building West Communication Room; and,
  • FA 2 SB-1, Unit 2 Service Building Emergency Switchgear (Orange).

Inspection of these FAs fulfills the inspection procedure requirement to inspect a minimum of three samples.

The inspection team evaluated FENOC's FPP against applicable requirements which included plant Technical Specifications, Operating License Condition 2.C.(5) and 2.F for Units No. 1 and 2 respectively, NRC Safety Evaluation Reports (SER), 10 CFR 50.48, 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix R, and Branch Technical Position (BTP) Chemical Engineering Branch (CMEB) 9.5-1, Appendix A. The team also reviewed related documents that included the Updated Final Safety Analysis Report (UFSAR), Section 9.5.1, the fire protection plan, the fire hazards analyses (FHA), and the post-fire safe shutdown analyses report.

The team also evaluated seven licensee mitigating strategies for addressing large fires and explosions as required by Operating License Condition 2.C.(11) and 2.C.(13) for Units 1 and 2 respectively, and 10 CFR 50.54(hh)(2). Inspection of these strategies fulfills the inspection procedure requirement to inspect a minimum of one sample.

Specific documents reviewed by the team are listed in the attachment to this report.

REACTOR SAFETY

Cornerstones: Initiating Events, Mitigating Systems, and Barrier Integrity

1R05 Fire Protection (IP 71111.

05T)

.01 Protection of Safe Shutdown Capabilities

a. Inspection Scope

The team reviewed the FHA, safe shutdown analyses, and supporting drawings and documentation to verify that post-fire safe shutdown capabilities were properly protected.

The team ensured that applicable separation requirements of Section III.G of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix R (Unit 1), BTP 9.5-1 (Unit 2), and the licensee's design and licensing bases were maintained for the credited safe shutdown equipment and their supporting power, control, and instrumentation cables. This review included an assessment of the adequacy of the selected systems for reactivity control, reactor coolant makeup, reactor heat removal, process monitoring and associated support system functions.

b. Findings

No findings were identified.

.02 Passive Fire Protection

a. Inspection Scope

The team walked down accessible portions of the selected fire areas to evaluate whether the material conditions of the fire area boundaries were adequate for the fire hazards in the area. The team compared the fire area boundaries including walls, ceilings, floors, fire doors, fire dampers, penetration seals to the design and licensing basis requirements, industry standards, and the BVPS FPP, as approved by the NRC, to identify any potential degradation or non-conformances.

The team reviewed selected engineering evaluations, installation and repair work orders, and qualification records for a sample of penetration seals to determine whether the fill material was properly installed and whether the as-left configuration satisfied design requirements for the intended fire rating.

The team also reviewed recent inspection and test records for fire dampers and the inspection records for penetration seals and fire barriers to verify whether the inspection and testing was adequately conducted, the acceptance criteria were met, and any potential performance degradation was identified. In addition, the team reviewed recent test results for the carbon dioxide (CO 2) and halon fire damper functionality tests for the selected fire areas to verify the testing was adequately conducted, the acceptance criteria were met, and any performance degradation was identified.

b. Findings

No findings were identified.

.03 Active Fire Protection

a. Inspection Scope

The team evaluated manual and automatic fire suppression and detection systems in the selected fire areas to determine whether they were installed, tested, maintained and operated in accordance with NRC requirements, NFPA codes of record and the BVPS FPP. The team also assessed whether the suppression systems capabilities were adequate to control and/or extinguish fires associated with the hazards in the selected

areas.

The team reviewed the as-built capability of the fire water supply system to verify whether the design and licensing basis and NFPA code of record requirements were satisfied and to assess whether those capabilities were adequate for the hazards involved. The team reviewed the fire water system design to assess the adequacy of the system to supply the largest single hy draulic load on the fire water system plus concurrent fire hose usage with one fire pump out of service. The team evaluated fire pump performance tests to assess the adequacy of the test acceptance criteria for pump minimum discharge pressure at the required flow rate to verify whether the criteria was adequate to ensure that the design basis requirements were satisfied. The team also evaluated the underground fire loop flow tests and flushes to verify whether the combination of the tests and flushes adequately demonstrated that the flow distribution circuits were able to meet design basis requirements. In addition, the team reviewed recent pump and loop flow test results to verify whether the testing was adequately conducted, the acceptance criteria were met and any potential performance degradation was identified.

The team reviewed initial discharge testing, design specifications, vendor requirements, engineering evaluation and routine functional testing for the CO2 and halon systems for the selected fire areas to verify adequacy. The team walked down accessible portions of the CO2 and halon systems, including storage tanks and supply systems, to independently assess the material condition, operational lineup and availability of the systems.

The team walked down accessible portions of the detection and water suppression systems in the selected areas and major portions of the fire water supply system, including both diesel and motor driven fire pumps, interviewed system and program engineers, and reviewed selected corrective action program documents to independently assess the material condition of the systems and components. In addition, the team reviewed recent test results for the fire detection and suppression systems for the selected fire areas to verify whether the testing was adequately conducted, the acceptance criteria were met and any potential performance degradation was identified.

The team assessed the fire brigade capabilities by reviewing training, qualification, and drill critique records. The team also reviewed FENOC's firefighting strategies (i.e., pre-fire plans) for the selected fire areas to determine if appropriate information was provided to fire brigade members and plant operators to identify safe shutdown equipment and instrumentation, and to facilitate suppression of a fire that could impact post-fire safe shutdown capability. The team independently inspected the fire brigade equipment, including personnel protective gear (e.g., turnout gear) and smoke removal equipment, to determine operational readiness for firefighting. In addition, the team reviewed FENOC's fire brigade equipment inventory and inspection procedure and recent inspection and inventory results to verify whether adequate equipment was available, and whether any potential material deficiencies were identified.

b. Findings

No findings were identified.

.04 Protection from Damage from Fire Suppression Activities

a. Inspection Scope

The team performed document reviews and plant walkdowns to determine whether redundant trains of systems required for post-fire safe shutdown, located in the same or adjacent fire areas, were subject to damage from fire suppression activities or from the rupture or inadvertent operation of fire s uppression systems. During the walkdowns, the team evaluated the adequacy and condition of floor drains, equipment elevations, and spray protection. Specifically, the team evaluated whether:

  • A fire in one of the selected fire areas would release smoke, heat or hot gases that could cause unintended activation of suppression systems in adjacent fire areas which could potentially damage all redundant safe shutdown trains or;
  • A fire suppression system rupture, inadvertent actuation or actuation due to a fire, in one of the selected fire areas, could directly damage all redundant trains (e.g. sprinkler caused flooding of other than the locally affected train); and,
  • Adequate drainage was provided in areas prot ected by water suppression systems.

b. Findings

No findings were identified.

.05 Post-Fire Safe Shutdown Capability - Normal and Alternative

a. Inspection Scope

The team reviewed the safe shutdown analysis, operating procedures, piping and instrumentation drawings, electrical drawings, the UFSAR and other supporting documents for the selected fire areas to verify that the licensee had properly identified

the systems and components necessary to achieve and maintain post-fire safe shutdown conditions.

The team assessed the adequacy of the selected systems and components credited by the safe shutdown analyses for reactivity control, reactor coolant makeup, reactor heat removal, process monitoring and support system functions to assess the adequacy of FENOC's alternative shutdown methodologies. This review included verification that alternative post-fire safe shutdown could be performed both with and without the availability of offsite power. Plant walkdowns were also performed to verify that the plant configuration was consistent with that described in the safe shutdown and fire hazards analyses. The team verified that the systems and components credited for use during

shutdown would remain free from fire damage.

The team verified that the training program for licensed and non-licensed operators included alternative shutdown capability. The team also verified that personnel required for safe shutdown using the normal or alternative shutdown systems and procedures are trained and available onsite at all times exclusive of those assigned as fire brigade members.

The team reviewed the adequacy of procedures utilized for post-fire safe shutdown and performed an independent walk through of procedure steps to ensure the implementation and human factors adequacy of the procedures. The team also verified that the operators could be reasonably expected to perform specific actions within the time required to maintain plant parameters within specified limits.

Specific procedures reviewed for normal and alternative post-fire shutdown included the following:

  • 1OM-56C.4.B, Shift Manager Procedure;
  • 1OM-56C.4.B, Unit Supervisor Procedure;
  • 2OM-56C.4.B, Unit Supervisor Procedure;
  • 2OM-56C.4.D, Nuclear Operator #1 Procedure;
  • 2OM-56C.4.E, Nuclear Operator #2 Procedure;
  • 2OM-56C.4.H, Nuclear Operator #3 Procedure.

The team reviewed operator manual actions to ensure that they had been properly reviewed and approved and that the actions could be implemented in accordance with plant procedures in the time necessary to support the safe shutdown method for each fire area. The team also reviewed the periodic testing of the alternative shutdown transfer capability and instrumentation and control functions to ensure the tests are adequate to ensure the functionality of the alternative shutdown capability.

b. Findings

.1 Unit 1 Control Room HVAC Equipment Room Safe Shutdown Capability Affected by

Smoke Migration

Introduction.

The team identified a finding of very low safety significance (Green) involving a non-cited violation of 10 CFR 50 Appendix R, III.L.3. for failure to establish an alternative safe shutdown capability independent of the Unit 1 control room HVAC equipment room, sub-fire area CR-2. Specifically, a fire in CR-2 will generate heat and smoke that will rise to the Unit 1 main control room where post-fire safe shutdown equipment is remotely operated in response to a fire in CR-2. This issue was determined to satisfy the criteria specified for the exercise of enforcement discretion for plants in transition to a fire protection program that meets the requirements of 10 CFR 50.48(c), "National Fire Protection Association Standard NFPA 805."

Description.

The team reviewed the Updated Fire Protection Appendix R Report, Rev. 31 for BVPS Unit 1 and noted that Duquesne Light Company filed an exemption request on January 14, 1985, in part for fire area CR-2, from the requirements of 10 CFR 50, Appendix R. The exemption request also redefined CR-2 as a subarea of the main control room fire area, CR-1, based on a ventilation shaft traversing the CR-2 ceiling and CR-1 floor. The exemption request redefined CR-2 and CR-1 as a single alternative shutdown fire area in accordance with Section III.G.3 of Appendix R. The NRC approved the exemption request in a letter dated December 4, 1986.

The team noted that Duquesne Light Company's exemption request justified adequate separation for safe shutdown systems and fire suppression and detection within the affected fire area, but did not identify that operators would be required to remain in the main control room to operate safe shutdown equipment for a fire in CR-2. This is unlike the established safe shutdown capability for the main control room where operators would leave the main control room to locally operate safe shutdown equipment. Local operation of safe shutdown equipment ensured equipment and circuits were isolated from the effects of the fire and operators would not be subject to smoke or heat. The team noted that Updated Fire Protection Appendix R Report, Rev. 31 credited safe shutdown equipment for a fire in CR-2 to be operated from the main control room and procedure 1OM-56B.4.C, Safe Shutdown Following A Serious Fire in the Control Building, Rev. 12, specific to fires in CR-2 and CR-3, the relay room, provided operating instructions consistent with the fire safe shutdown analysis.

The team additionally noted that the unqualified fire damper in the ventilation shaft between CR-2 and CR-1 can only be operated at a local panel inside CR-2. The team considered that operators remaining in the main control to establish post-fire safe shutdown for a fire in CR-2 was an alternative safe shutdown capability that was not independent of the fire area.

In response to the team's concern for smoke and heat rising from CR-2 affecting operator visibility or main control room habitability, FENOC provided calculation, SCI-

17756-03, NFPA 805 Fire PRA Task 11c, Multi Compartment Fire Analysis for BVPS Unit 1, Rev. F. Attachment 3 of this calculation analyzed the potential for propagation of hot gases into the main control room via the non-fire rated ventilation duct shaft. The team determined the analysis was conservative and concluded that operators could remain in the main control room and would have more than one hour to initiate the Unit 2 main control room ventilation system in smoke purge mode.

The team judged that procedure 1OM-56B.4.C, Safe Shutdown Following A Serious Fire in the Control Building, Rev. 12, was deficient because it did not provide any caution to control room operators that a fire in CR-2 could generate heat and smoke that could rise to the main control room. Additionally, the procedure did not provide any instructions to remove the heat and smoke such as by placing the Unit 2 main control room ventilation system in smoke purge mode. FENOC promptly entered this safe shutdown issue into their corrective action program (CAP) as CR-2015-10577 and intended to revise 1OM-56B.4.C, Safe Shutdown Following A Serious Fire in the Control Building, to include a note to initiate smoke purge mode of the Unit 2 control room ventilation system as needed for a fire in CR-2. The team considered FENOC's corrective actions appropriate.

Analysis.

The failure to establish an alternative safe shutdown capability independent of the Unit 1 control room HVAC equipment room, sub-fire area CR-2, is a performance deficiency (PD). This PD is more than minor because it is associated with the external events (fire) 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. Using IMC 0609, Appendix F, Fire Protection Significance Determination Process, the team determined that this issue screens to Green in task 1.3.1 because the reactor is able to reach and maintain safe shutdown: a conservative calculation determined the main control room operators would not be impaired.

Cross-cutting aspects are not applicable to findings involving enforcement discretion.

Enforcement.

10 CFR 50.48(b)(2) requires that all nuclear power plants licensed to operate before January 1, 1979, must satisfy the applicable requirements of 10 CFR 50, Appendix R, including specifically the requirements of Sections III.G, III.J, and III.O.

10 CFR Part 50, Appendix R, Section III.G.2 requires, in part, that, where cables or equipment of redundant trains of systems necessary to achieve and maintain hot shutdown conditions are located within the same fire area outside of primary containment, one of the stated means of ensuring that one of the redundant trains is free of fire damage shall be provided. The stated means include separation of cables and equipment and associated non-safety circuits of redundant trains through the use of specified fire barriers, distance, or suppression systems.

10 CFR part 50, Appendix R,Section III.G.3 requires, in part, that alternative or dedicated shutdown capability should be provided where the protection of systems whose function is required for hot shutdown does not satisfy the requirement of paragraph G.2 of this section.

10 CFR Part 50, Appendix R, Section III.L.3, in part, specifies that alternative shutdown capability shall be independent of the specific fire area.

Contrary to the above, since December 4, 1986, BVPS Unit 1, a nuclear power plant licensed to operate before January 1, 1979, has not satisfied the applicable requirements of 10 CFR 50, Appendix R, Section III.G, in that the licensee did not provide alternative shutdown capability that was independent of a specific fire area where the protection of systems whose function is required for hot shutdown was not ensured to be free of fire damage. Specifically, for a fire in CR-2, FENOC required operators to remain in the main control room to operate safe shutdown equipment.

However, the main control room was not independent of the fire area, since the main control room will be impacted by heat and smoke generated from a fire in CR-2.

The violation was historical and occurred when Duquesne Light Company, a predecessor to FENOC, implemented a J anuary 14, 1985, exemption request from the requirements of Appendix R. FENOC is in transition to NFPA 805 and, therefore, this NRC-identified violation was evaluated in acco rdance with the crit eria established in Section 9.1 of the NRC Enforcement Policy, "Enforcement Discretion for Certain Fire Protection issues (10 CFR 50.48)." Specifically, because all of the criteria were met, the NRC is exercising discretion and not issu ing a violation for this issue.

.2 Unit 2 Alternative Post-Fire Shutdown Procedures Deficiencies for Some Postulated

Spurious Operations

Introduction.

The team identified a finding of very low safety significance (Green) of BVPS Unit 2 License Condition 2.F, Fire Protection Program, for failure to implement and maintain all aspects of the approved FPP. Specifically, FENOC's alternative post-fire safe shutdown operating procedures for some postulated fire-induced spurious circuit operations did not provide adequate guidance to ensure that; (1) the charging system flow path was established for reactor coolant system (RCS) makeup; (2) service water was provided for emergency diesel generator (EDG) cooling; and (3) reactor coolant pump (RCP) seal injection flow was secured prior to reinitiating charging flow beyond a ten minute lapse to preclude a RCP seal loss of coolant accident (LOCA). This issue was determined to satisfy the criteria specified for the exercise of enforcement discretion for plants in transition to a fire protection program that meets the requirements of 10 CFR 50.48(C), National Fire Protection Association Standard NFPA 805.

Description.

In response to a significant fire in the Unit 2 fire areas CB-1 (Instrument Relay Room), CB-2 (Cable Spread Room), CB-3 (Control Room), CB-6 (Control Building West Communication Room), and CT-1 (Cable Tunnel), control room operators would implement the 2OM-56C.4 series procedures. These procedures are collectively the alternative post-fire safe shutdown procedure. As directed by the alternative post-fire safe shutdown procedure, control room operators relocate to the alternate shutdown panel (ASP) to establish and maintain post-fire safe shutdown.

The team reviewed these procedures and identified that procedures, specifically, 2OM-56C.4.B - Unit Supervisor Procedure, Rev. 32 effective October 21, 2014, 2OM-56C.4.F-1 - ASP Activation, Rev. 12 effective March 2, 2007, and 2OM-56C.4.D

-Nuclear Operator #1 Procedure, Rev. 24 effective October 21, 2014, did not provide adequate guidance to ensure that the alternative shutdown performance goals would be maintained considering some postulated fire-induced spurious operations. The team identified three deficiencies within these procedures:

  • 2OM-56C.4.D directed operators to use a charging system flow path to establish RCS makeup that was not free of fire damage for associated alternative shutdown fire areas;
  • 2OM-56C.4.B did not have sufficient precautions or steps to preclude a RCP seal LOCA. The charging system flow path proc edure errors occurred when FENOC made procedure changes effective October 21, 2014 to 2OM-56C.4.D to address a corrective action item for terminating a fire-induced spurious safety injection signal. FENOC inappropriately assumed a B train motor operated safety injection valve, 2SIS-MOV867B, would remotely operate open, but for the associated fire areas, its cables were subject to fire damage and the valve cannot be relied on to open. FENOC promptly initiated CR-2015-10757 and revised 2OM-56C.4.D to include a local operator manual action, consistent with the fire safe shutdown analysis, to establish charging flow for RCS makeup.

The adequate service water flow for the 2-1 EDG procedure errors occurred because 2OM-56C.4.F-1 provided a table that included required positions for components on the ASP and did not specify alignment order or provide any precaution to verify adequate service water flow to the 2-1 EDG after it was started. The 21A SWP switch alignment was listed third in the table and the 2-1 EDG switch alignment was listed sixth in the table. For a LOOP scenario, the 21A SWP cannot be started until the 2-1 EDG is successfully started and its output breaker closed to the 4 kV vital bus. Additionally, during control room abandonment and relocation to the ASP, the 21A SWP could spuriously operate while the 2-1 EDG auto starts. For this scenario, the procedure lacked sufficient precaution to ensure service water flow was restored from the ASP in a timely manner. FENOC promptly initiated CR-2015-1116 for long term resolution and issued Standing Operating Order 15-006 that the 2-1 EDG may not auto start and load during ASP activation.

The potential for a RCP seal LOCA during execution of 2OM-56C.4.B can occur during a loss of offsite power scenario if the char ging pump auto starts when the 2-1 EDG is started from the ASP and more than ten minutes has elapsed since RCP seal cooling was lost. 2OM-56C.4.B lacked sufficient precautions and procedure steps for local operator manual actions to ensure a RCP seal LOCA did not occur during the postulated LOOP scenario. FENOC promptly initiated CR-2015-11044 for long term resolution as part of transition to NFPA 805 and established interim compensatory measures in the form of fire watch patrols in the fire areas where these circuit interactions could occur.

For all three post-fire alternative safe shutdown procedure deficiencies, the team concluded that FENOC's immediate and long term corrective actions were appropriate and commensurate with the risk significance.

Analysis.

Failure to ensure that the alternative post-fire safe shutdown operating procedures for some postulated fire-induced spurious circuit operations provided adequate guidance to ensure that; (1) the charging system flow path was established for RCS makeup; (2) service water was provided for EDG cooling; and (3) RCP seal injection flow was secured prior to reinitiating charging flow beyond a ten minute lapse to preclude a RCP seal LOCA is a PD. This PD is more than minor because it is associated with the external events (fire) attribute of the Mitigating Systems cornerstone and adversely affected the cornerstone objective of ensuring the reliability and capability of systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences (i.e., core damage). FENOC reviewed the post-fi re alternative safe shutdown procedure deficiencies and evaluated the issues through use of its fire PRA. FENOC determined that the change in core damage frequency attributed to the procedure issues was 1.9E-8 (Green). NRC staff reviewed this evaluation and concluded that the risk number was bounded by conservative assumptions and that this issue would be of no greater than very low safety significance.

Cross-cutting aspects are not applicable to findings involving enforcement discretion.

Enforcement.

Beaver Valley Unit 2 License Condition 2.F requires in part that FENOC shall implement and maintain in effect all provisions of the approved fire protection program as described in the Final Safety Analysis Report (FSAR).

BVPS Unit 2 Updated FSAR, Rev. 21, Section 9.5.1.1 states that the fire protection system is designed using the guidance of BTP CMEB 9.5-1, Rev. 2.

BTP CMEB 9.5-1, Rev. 2, Section C.5.c.(3) requires that the alternative shutdown capability shall accommodate post-fire conditions where offsite power is available and where offsite power is not available for 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br /> and procedures shall be in effect to implement this capability.

Contrary to above, since March 2, 2007, FENOC has not had procedures in effect to implement alternative shutdown capability that accommodates post-fire conditions where offsite power is available or is not available for 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br />. Specifically, the BVPS Unit 1 alternative post-fire safe shutdown procedures did not ensure that: (1) RCS makeup function was established; (2) service water cooling was provided to the 2-1 EDG; and (3)the RCP seal injection flow was isolated to preclude a RCP seal LOCA.

FENOC is in transition to NFPA 805 and therefore this NRC-identified violation was evaluated in accordance with the criteria established by Section A of the NRC's Interim

Enforcement Policy Regarding Enforcement Discretion for Certain Fire Protection Issues (10 CFR Part 50.48) for a licensee in NFPA 805 transition. Specifically, because all of the criteria were met, the NRC is exercising discretion and not issuing a violation for this issue.

.06 Circuit Analysis

a. Inspection Scope

The team verified that the licensee performed post-fire safe shutdown analyses for the selected fire areas and the analysis appropriately identified the structures, systems and components important to achieving and maintaining safe shutdown. Additionally, the team verified that FENOC's analyses ensured that necessary electrical circuits were properly protected and that circuits that could adversely impact safe shutdown due to hot shorts or shorts to ground were identified evaluated and dispositioned to ensure spurious actuations would not prevent safe shutdown.

The team's review considered fire and cable attributes, cable routing, potential undesirable consequences and common power supply/bus concerns. Specific items included the credibility of the fire threat, cable insulation attributes, cable failure modes and actuations resulting in flow diversion or loss of coolant events.

The team also reviewed cable raceway drawings and/or cable routing databases for a sample of components required for post-fire safe shutdown to verify that cables were routed as described in the safe-shutdown analyses. Additionally, the team reviewed equipment important to safe shutdown, but not part of the success path, to verify that the licensee had taken appropriate actions in accordance with the design and licensing basis and NRC Regulatory Guide 1.189, "Fire Protection for Nuclear Power Plants,"

Revision 2.

Cable failure modes were reviewed for the following components:

  • MOV-FW151A(B), Unit 1 Auxiliary Feed Header Throttle Valves;
  • MOV-CH115B(D), Unit 1 RWST Isolation to Charging Pump Valves;
  • 2CHS*MOV289, Unit 2 Charging Header Isolation Valve; and,
  • 2RCS*PI455F, Unit 2 Pressurizer Pressure Indicator.

The team reviewed a sample of circuit breaker coordination studies to ensure equipment needed to conduct post-fire safe shutdown activities would not be impacted due to a lack of coordination that could result in a common power supply or common bus concern. In addition, the team reviewed a sample of circuit breaker maintenance records, for components required for post-fire safe shutdown, to determine whether the breakers

were properly maintained.

The team verified that the transfer of control from the control room to the alternative shutdown location(s) would not be affected by fire-induced circuit faults (e.g. by the provision of separate fuses and power supplies for alternative shutdown control circuits).

b. Findings

Unanalyzed Condition Resulting from Unfused Direct Current Control Circuits

Introduction.

FENOC identified violations of very low safety significance of 10 CFR 50, Appendix R, Section III.G for BVPS Unit 1, and Operating License Condition 2.F for BVPS Unit 2. FENOC identified that BVPS Unit 1 and Unit 2 each have unfused direct current DC control circuits for DC motors which are routed from the turbine building through other fire areas. The DC breakers used to protect the motor power conductors are insufficient to protect the control conductors for these circuits and it is postulated that a fire induced short in one fire area coul d adversely impact safe shutdown equipment by overheating the cable and causing a secondary fire in other fire areas where the cable is routed. For BVPS Unit 1 the team identified that FENOC did not establish a fire watch in the turbine building. Therefore FENOC did not initiate immediate corrective action or compensatory measures or both within a reasonable time and enforcement discretion will not be exercised. This BVPS Unit 1 violation will be treated as a NRC-identified violation. For BVPS Unit 2 this issue was determined to satisfy the criteria specified for the exercise of enforcement discretion for plants in transition to a fire protection program that meets the requirements of 10 CFR 50.48(c), "National Fire Protection Association Standard NFPA 805."

Description.

FENOC reviewed industry operating experience and identified on April 30, 2014, that Unit 1 and Unit 2 hydrogen seal oil pump and emergency bearing oil pump motors included control circuits that were unfused. The DC breakers used to protect the motor power conductors are insufficient to protect the control conductors for these circuits. It is postulated that a fire induced short in one fire area could adversely impact safe shutdown equipment by overheating the cable and causing a secondary fire in other fire areas where the cable is routed. The postulated secondary fires or cable failures are outside the assumptions of each unit's fire protection analysis. FENOC reported this issue to the NRC in Licensee Event Report (LER) 2014-004-00 dated June 27, 2014.

The following are examples of the potential impact on post-fire safe shutdown capability:

  • For BVPS Unit 1, three fire areas were affected: the main control room (MCR), the cable spread room (CSR), and the turbine building (TB). The MCR and CSR safe shutdown analysis credits use of the same shutdown equipment and associated cables but the TB safe shutdown analysis credits opposite trains of auxiliary feedwater equipment compared to the MCR and CSR.
  • For BVPS Unit 2, several fire areas were affected: the MCR, the CSR, the control building west communication room, the instrument relay room, the cable tunnel, the cable vault and rod control room, the service building cable tray area, the normal switchgear room, and the TB. The cable vault and rod control fire area safe shutdown analysis credits the purple train of electrical power but all other fire areas credit the orange train of electrical power.

The team reviewed corrective actions and compensatory measures for the licensee identified issues. FENOC initiated CR-2014-07961 for BVPS Unit 1 and CR-2014-07964 for BVPS Unit 2 to track and complete corrective actions. FENOC intended to resolve the non-conformances using NFPA 805 performance based fire risk evaluations considering the low probability of a secondary cable fire due to overheating of cables associated with the pump control circuits during an electrical fault condition with no circuit protection. FENOC established compensatory measures in accordance with 1/2-ADM-1900, The Fire Protection Program. The compensatory measures in the form of hourly fire watch patrols were to remain in place until such time that the non-conformance is resolved. The team reviewed the fire watch logs and discovered that two of the affected fire areas for BVPS Unit 1, the MCR and TB were not included in the fire watch log sheets. The Unit 1 main control room is continuously manned and would meet the intent of a roving hourly fire watch.

The team inquired why hourly roving fire watch patrols were not established in the Unit 1 turbine building or administratively tracked for the MCR. FENOC determined the compensatory measures were established in accordance with Section 7.16.5 of 1/2-1900-ADM, Fire Protection Program, which stated If inadequate separation of trains of safe shutdown equipment or circuits is identified, the condition SHALL be considered a nonfunctional fire barrier for determination of compensatory measures. Attachment B, Technical Requirements For Fire Protection System, of 1/2-1900-ADM, for nonfunctional fire barriers required, in part, that an hourly fire watch patrol be established in one of the two adjacent fire areas for a nonfunctional fire barrier. FENOC determined for BVPS Unit 1 involving three contiguous fire areas, that an hourly fire watch patrol established in the middle fire area, the cable spread room, would satisfy the requirements of Section 7.16.5 of 1/2-1900-ADM. However, the team noted for this unique circuit issue that a secondary fire could be postulated to occur in a fire area not adjacent to the primary fire area. Therefore hourly fire watch patrols established in all affected fire areas was appropriate. Because the compensatory measures were determined to be inadequate, the BVPS Unit 1 violation will not receive enforcement discretion. FENOC promptly initiated an hourly fire watch patrol in the Unit 1 TB and administratively tracked the fire watch for the MCR. This issue was entered into FENOC's CAP for long term corrective actions as CR-2015-10546.

Although Section 7.16.5 of 1/2-1900-ADM was similarly reviewed and applied for the affected fire areas at Unit 2, an hourly fire watch patrol was established in all affected Unit 2 fire areas. The team considered that 1/2-1900-ADM was too restrictive for safe shutdown circuit separation issues in that it mandated an hourly fire watch patrol in only one of the two adjacent fire areas and for this unique circuit separation issue did not provide guidance to establish hourly fire watch patrols in all affected fire areas.

Analysis.

FENOC's failure to ensure Unit 1 and Unit 2 hydrogen seal oil pump and emergency bearing oil pump motors' control circuits were fused and protected to prevent overheating such that a secondary fire would not occur was a performance deficiency. This finding was more than minor because it adversely affected the protection against external factors (i.e., fire) attribute of the Mitigating Systems Cornerstone and affected the cornerstone objective of ensuring the availability and reliability of systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences.

FENOC reviewed the cable routes and evaluated this issue through use of its fire PRA. FENOC determined that the change in core damage frequency attributed to the issue for Unit 1 was 8.5E-7 per reactor year (Green) and 7.8E-8 (Green) for Unit 2. NRC staff reviewed this evaluation and concluded that the risk numbers were bounded by conservative assumptions and that this issue would be of very low safety significance for Unit 1 and Unit 2.

For BVPS Unit 1, the team determined the finding had a cross-cutting aspect in the area of Human Performance, Resources, because FENOC did not ensure that procedures were adequate to support nuclear safety. Specifically, 1/2-1900-ADM was too restrictive for safe shutdown circuit separation issues in that it mandated an hourly fire watch patrol in only one of the two adjacent fire areas and for this issue FENOC did not appropriately establish an hourly fire watch patrol in the Unit 1 TB. [H.1]

For BVPS Unit 2, cross-cutting aspects are not applicable to findings involving enforcement discretion.

Enforcement.

10 CFR 50.48(b) specifically requires that all nuclear power plants licensed to operate prior to January 1, 1979, such as BVPS Unit 1, implement fire protection features described in Appendix R,Section III.G.Section III.G requires that one train of systems necessary to achieve and maintain hot shutdown conditions from either the control room or emergency control station(s) is free of fire damage. Similarly for BVPS Unit 2, Operating License Condition 2.F requires that FENOC shall implement and maintain in effect all provisions of the approved fire protection program as described in the FSAR. The Unit 2 BVPS Updated FSAR section 9.5.1.1 states that the fire protection system is designed using the guidance of BTP CMEB 9.5-1, Rev. 2. BTP CMEB 9.5-1 Section C.5.b.(1)(a) also requires that one train of systems necessary to achieve and maintain hot shutdown conditions from either the control room or emergency control station(s) is free of fi re damage. Contrary to the above, FENOC identified on April 30, 2014, that they failed to meet this requirement for a postulated fire induced short in one fire area which could adversely impact safe shutdown equipment by overheating the cable and causing a secondary fire in other fire areas where the cable is routed. These violations were historical and occurred when BVPS completed its first safe shutdown analysis.

FENOC is in transition to NFPA 805 and, therefore, these licensee-identified violations were evaluated in accordance with the criteria established in Section 9.1 of the NRC Enforcement Policy, "Enforcement Discretion for Certain Fire Protection issues (10 CFR

50.48)." For BVPS Unit 1, one criteria was not met. Specifically FENOC did not establish compensatory measures in the Unit 1 TB. Therefore the NRC is treating this violation as NCV consistent with Section 2.3.2.a of the NRC Enforcement Policy because the violation was of very low safety significance (Green) and was entered into FENOC's CAP (CR-2015-10546). (NCV 05000334/2015007-01, Unanalyzed Condition Resulting from Unfused Direct Current Control Circuits)

For BVPS Unit 2, because all of the enforcement discretion criteria were met, the NRC is exercising discretion and not issuing a violation for this issue.

.07 Communications

a. Inspection Scope

The team reviewed safe shutdown procedures, the safe shutdown analysis and associated documents to verify an adequate method of communications would be available to plant operators following a fire. During this review the team considered the effects of ambient noise levels, clarity of reception, reliability and coverage patterns. The team also inspected the designated emergency st orage lockers to verify the availability of portable radios for the fire brigade and for plant operators. The team also verified that communications equipment such as repeaters and transmitters would not be affected by a fire.

b. Findings

No findings were identified.

.08 Emergency Lighting

a. Inspection Scope

The team observed the placement and coverage area of eight-hour emergency lights throughout the selected fire areas to evaluate their adequacy for illuminating access and egress pathways and any equipment requiring local operation or instrumentation monitoring for post-fire safe shutdown. The team also verified that the battery power supplies were rated for at least an eight-hour capacity. Preventive maintenance procedures, the vendor manual, completed surveillance tests and battery replacement practices were also reviewed to verify that the emergency lighting was being maintained consistent with the manufacturer's recommendations and in a manner that would ensure reliable operation.

b. Findings

No findings were identified.

.09 Cold Shutdown Repairs

a. Inspection Scope

The team verified that the licensee had dedicated repair procedures, equipment and materials to accomplish repairs of components required for cold shutdown which might

be damaged by the fire to ensure cold shutdown could be achieved within the time frames specified in their design and licensing bases. The team verified that the repair equipment, components, tools and materials (e.g. pre-cut cables with prepared attachment lugs) were available and accessible on site.

b. Findings

No findings were identified.

.10 Compensatory Measures

a. Inspection Scope

The team verified compensatory measures were in place for out-of-service, degraded or inoperable fire protection and post-fire safe shutdown equipment, systems or features (e.g., detection and suppression systems and equipment, passive fire barriers, pumps, valves or electrical devices providing safe shutdown functions or capabilities). The team evaluated whether the short term compensatory measures adequately compensated for the degraded function or feature until appropriate corrective action could be taken and if the licensee was effective in returning the equipment to service in a reasonable period of

time.

b. Findings

No findings were identified.

.11 Fire Protection Program Changes

a. Inspection Scope

The team reviewed recent changes to the approved fire protection program to verify that the changes did not constitute an adverse effect on the ability to safely shutdown.

b. Findings

No findings were identified.

.12 Control of Transient Combustibles and Ignition Sources

a. Inspection Scope

The team reviewed FENOC's procedures and programs for the control of ignition sources and transient combustibles to assess their effectiveness in preventing fires and in controlling combustible loading within limits established in the FHA. A sample of hot work and transient combustible control permits were reviewed to assess the adequacy of FENOC's fire protection program administrative controls. The team performed plant walkdowns to independently verify whether transient combustibles and ignition sources were being properly controlled in accordance with the administrative controls.

b. Findings

No findings were identified.

.13 Large Fires and Explosions Mitigation Strategies

a. Inspection Scope

The team reviewed selected mitigation strategies intended to maintain or restore core cooling and spent fuel pool cooling capabilities under the circumstances associated with the loss of large areas of the plant due to explosions and/or fires. The team assessed whether FENOC continued to meet the requirements of Operating License Condition 2.C.(11) and 2.C.(13) for Units 1 and 2 respectively for 10 CFR 50.54(hh)(2).

The team reviewed the following mitigation strategies and associated station procedures:

  • Units 1 and 2 Manual Operation of Turbine-Driven AFW Pump;
  • Unit 1 Manual Depressurization of SG's to Reduce Inventory Loss;
  • Units 1 and 2 Portable Sprays; and,
  • Units 1 and 2 Spent Fuel Pool Local Spray Strategies.

The team's review included a detailed assessment of the procedural guidance; a walkdown of the strategy with a trained operator to assess the feasibility of the strategy and operator familiarity; maintenance and surveillance testing of all designated strategy equipment and an inventory check of strategy equipment to ensure the appropriateness of equipment storage and availability. The team also evaluated the adequacy of corrective actions associated with issues identified during previous inspections in this area.

b. Findings

No findings were identified.

4OA3 Followup of Events and Notices of Enforcement Discretion

(Closed) LER 05000334/2014-004-00: Unanalyzed Condition Resulting from Unfused Direct Current Control Circuits

On April 30, 2014, during a review of industry operating experience, FENOC identified postulated fire induced circuit failures involving unfused DC control circuits for DC motors at BVPS Units 1 and 2. The postulated fire-induced circuit failures could cause a secondary fire that could adversely affect safe shutdown equipment. Specifically, the licensee identified 125 volt DC control circuits for DC motors associated with four non-safety pumps (Air Side Seal Oil Backup Pumps and Main Turbine Emergency Bearing Oil Pumps) at Units 1 and 2 that were not provided overcurrent protection.

FENOC determined the cause of the condition to be an original design and construction oversight involving the failure to include protective devices in the DC control circuits for DC motors. There were no actual safety consequences of this condition.

The licensee submitted LER 05000334/2014-004-00 to report this event in accordance with 10 CFR 50.73(a)(2)(ii)(B) as an event or condition that resulted in the nuclear power plant being in an unanalyzed condition that significantly degraded plant safety. The licensee entered this issue into their CAP as CR-2014-07961 (Unit 1) and CR-2014-07964 (Unit 2) and implemented compensatory measures in all but one of the affected fire areas pending final resolution of the issue. The details of a compensatory measure not implemented in the Unit 1 TB are discussed in Section 1R05.06 of this inspection report.

The team reviewed the LER, the associated causal analysis and corrective actions, interviewed FENOC staff, and walked down associated cables. This LER is closed. The significance and enforcement aspect of this issue are discussed in Section 1R05.06 of this inspection report. LER 05000334/2014-004-00 is closed.
