A self-revealing non-cited violation (NCV) of Technical Specification (TS) 6.8.1, "Procedures", was identified for the licensee's failure to maintain an adequate procedure for gland sealing steam supply realignment. Specifically, the licensee failed to have initial conditions in place in the procedure that provided specific direction that steam supply to the gland sealing system cannot be transferred from the main steam system to the auxiliary steam system with a unit in Mode 1 or 2. The licensee took corrective action to add initial conditions to procedure 4-GOP-103 that would not allow gland seal system steam supply realignment while in Modes 1 or 2. The licensee entered this issue into their corrective action program (CAP) as action request (AR) 1967899. | A self-revealing non-cited violation (NCV) of Technical Specification (TS) 6.8.1, "Procedures", was identified for the licensee's failure to maintain an adequate procedure for gland sealing steam supply realignment.

The performance deficiency was more than minor because it was associated with the procedure quality attribute of the initiating events cornerstone and adversely affected the cornerstone objective to limit the likelihood of events that upset plant stability and challenge critical safety functions during power operations. Specifically, the failure to have specific guidance in procedure 4-GOP-103 that prevented realigning the gland sealing steam supply while in Mode 1 or 2 resulted in lowering condenser vacuum and a subsequent reactor trip on low condenser vacuum when the gland sealing steam supply was being realigned with Unit 4 in Mode 1. The inspectors screened the finding using Attachment 4 to NRC Inspection Manual Chapter (IMC) 0609 and determined that the finding was a transient initiator contributor which required evaluation using Exhibit 1, "Initiating Events Screening Questions," of IMC 0609, Appendix A, "The Significance Determination Process (SDP) for Findings At-Power" (July 19, 2012). The inspectors determined that the finding was of very low safety significance (Green) because the performance deficiency did not result in a reactor trip and loss of mitigating equipment relied upon to transition the plant to a safe shutdown condition. The finding was associated with a cross-cutting aspect in the resources component of the human performance area because the licensee failed to ensure an adequate general operating procedure was available to support nuclear safety (H.1). | The performance deficiency was more than minor because it was associated with the procedure quality attribute of the initiating events cornerstone and adversely affected the cornerstone objective to limit the likelihood of events that upset plant stability and challenge critical safety functions during power operations.

* Green: A self-revealing finding was identified for the licensee's failure to ensure an adequate design change was implemented during Unit 3 and Unit 4 instrument air compressor system upgrade modifications completed in 2013. Specifically, plant modifications EC 246991 and EC 246990 were accepted and placed in service by the licensee without verifying the control logic configuration would function properly and load under all conditions. As a result, the diesel-driven compressors would not load and pressurize the instrument air header in the event of a loss of instrument air pressure while in the standby mode of operation. Corrective actions included an immediate modification to the standby compressor loading control circuit to ensure the machine loaded automatically and revising general procedural guidance for compressor operation. The licensee entered this performance deficiency in their corrective action program as AR 01983607. | * Green: A self-revealing finding was identified for the licensee's failure to ensure an adequate design change was implemented during Unit 3 and Unit 4 instrument air compressor system upgrade modifications completed in 2013.

SUMMARY OF FINDINGS
IR 05000250/2014004, 05000251/2014005; 10/01/2014 - 12/31/2014; Turkey Point Nuclear Generating Station, Units 3 & 4; Radiological Hazard Assessment and Exposure Controls;
Followup of Events and Notices of Enforcement Discretion.
The report covered a three-month period of inspection by the resident inspectors and specialist inspectors from the Region II office. Four Green findings, three of which were non-cited violations, were identified. The significance of inspection findings were identified by their color (Green, White, Yellow, or Red) and determined using Inspection Manual Chapter (IMC) 0609,
"Significance Determination Process," (SDP) dated June 2, 2011. The cross-cutting aspect was determined using IMC 0310, "Components Within the Cross-Cutting Areas," dated December 4, 2014. All violations of NRC requirements were dispositioned in accordance with the NRC's Enforcement Policy dated July 9, 2013. The NRC's program for overseeing the safe operation of commercial nuclear power reactors is described in NUREG-1649, "Reactor Oversight Process," Revision 5.
NRC-Identified and Self-Revealing Findings
Cornerstone: Initiating Events
- Green.
A self-revealing non-cited violation (NCV) of Technical Specification (TS) 6.8.1, "Procedures", was identified for the licensee's failure to maintain an adequate procedure for gland sealing steam supply realignment. Specifically, the licensee failed to have initial conditions in place in the procedure that provided specific direction that steam supply to the gland sealing system cannot be transferred from the main steam system to the auxiliary steam system with a unit in Mode 1 or 2. The licensee took corrective action to add initial conditions to procedure 4-GOP-103 that would not allow gland seal system steam supply realignment while in Modes 1 or 2. The licensee entered this issue into their corrective action program (CAP) as action request (AR) 1967899.
The performance deficiency was more than minor because it was associated with the procedure quality attribute of the initiating events cornerstone and adversely affected the cornerstone objective to limit the likelihood of events that upset plant stability and challenge critical safety functions during power operations. Specifically, the failure to have specific guidance in procedure 4-GOP-103 that prevented realigning the gland sealing steam supply while in Mode 1 or 2 resulted in lowering condenser vacuum and a subsequent reactor trip on low condenser vacuum when the gland sealing steam supply was being realigned with Unit 4 in Mode 1. The inspectors screened the finding using Attachment 4 to NRC Inspection Manual Chapter (IMC) 0609 and determined that the finding was a transient initiator contributor which required evaluation using Exhibit 1, "Initiating Events Screening Questions," of IMC 0609, Appendix A, "The Significance Determination Process (SDP) for Findings At-Power" (July 19, 2012). The inspectors determined that the finding was of very low safety significance (Green) because the performance deficiency did not result in a reactor trip and loss of mitigating equipment relied upon to transition the plant to a safe shutdown condition. The finding was associated with a cross-cutting aspect in the resources component of the human performance area because the licensee failed to ensure an adequate general operating procedure was available to support nuclear safety (H.1). (Section 4OA3.2)3
- Green: A self-revealing finding was identified for the licensee's failure to ensure an adequate design change was implemented during Unit 3 and Unit 4 instrument air compressor system upgrade modifications completed in 2013. Specifically, plant modifications EC 246991 and EC 246990 were accepted and placed in service by the licensee without verifying the control logic configuration would function properly and load under all conditions. As a result, the diesel-driven compressors would not load and pressurize the instrument air header in the event of a loss of instrument air pressure while in the standby mode of operation. Corrective actions included an immediate modification to the standby compressor loading control circuit to ensure the machine loaded automatically and revising general procedural guidance for compressor operation. The licensee entered this performance deficiency in their corrective action program as AR 01983607.
The performance deficiency was more than minor because it was associated with the design control attribute of the initiating events cornerstone and adversely affected the cornerstone objective to limit the likelihood of events that upset plant stability and challenge critical safety functions during power operations. Specifically, the failure to have an adequate design for controlling the operation of the standby instrument air compressor resulted in a reactor trip due to the loss of instrument air pressure. The inspectors screened the issue under the initiating events cornerstone using Attachment 4 (June 19, 2012) and Exhibit 1 (June 19, 2012) of Appendix A to Inspection Manual Chapter (IMC) 0609, "Significance Determination Process" (June 2, 2011). The inspectors concluded that a detailed risk evaluation would be required because the finding was associated with the loss of a support system that resulted in a reactor trip and affected equipment that could be used by plant operators to mitigate the resulting plant transient. A senior reactor analyst (SRA) performed a detailed risk evaluation of this issue. The NRC model for Turkey Point was adjusted by: 1) increasing the initiating event frequency for a loss of instrument air (LOIA) event by one order-of-magnitude, and 2) the failure-to-run probability of the backup air compressors was set equal to 1.0. The change in core damage frequency results were below the 1E-6 threshold and the issue was determined to be of very low risk significance (Green). The finding was associated with a cross-cutting aspect in the resources component of the human performance area because the licensee failed to ensure instrument air system equipment was available and adequate to support nuclear safety (H.1). (Section 4OA3.3)
- Green: A self-revealing non-cited violation (NCV) of TS 6.8.1, Procedures, was identified when the licensee failed to fully implement procedure 3-EOP-ES-0.1, "Reactor Trip Response." Specifically, the licensee failed to take effective action to implement Step 25 of 3-EOP-ES-0.1 and maintain pressurizer pressure and level within their required bands in order to stabilize plant conditions following a loss of instrument air and a reactor plant trip. Corrective actions included training licensed operators on the implementation of EOP-ES-0.1. The licensee entered this performance deficiency in their corrective action program as action request 1983618.
The performance deficiency was more than minor because it was associated with the human performance attribute of the initiating events cornerstone and adversely affected the cornerstone objective to limit the likelihood of events that upset plant stability and challenge critical safety functions during shutdown as well as power operations. The inspectors screened the issue under the initiating events cornerstone using Attachment 4 (June 19, 2012) and Exhibit 1 (June 19, 2012) of Appendix A to IMC 0609, "Significance 4 Determination Process" (June 2, 2011). The inspectors concluded that a detailed risk evaluation would be required by a senior reactor analyst (SRA) because the finding was associated with a transient initiator and operator actions to utilize equipment to mitigate the associated plant transient. The NRC model fo r Turkey Point was adjusted by setting the failure probability of the power-operated relief valve (PORV) to remain closed during an event equal to 1.0. This represented the impact of failing to follow the emergency operating procedures resulting in lifting the PORVs during the event. The change in core damage frequency results were below the 1E-6 threshold and the issue was thus determined to be of very low risk significance (Green). This finding was associated with a cross-cutting aspect in the training component of the human performance area because the licensee failed to ensure licensed operator training provided knowledge that the reactor coolant pump seals could operate for a short period of time without seal flow (H.9). (Section 4OA3.3).
Cornerstone: Occupational Radiation Safety
- Green: A self-revealing NCV of Technical Specification (TS) 6.12.1, High Radiation Area, was identified when a worker did not comply with a radiological barrier and entered a high radiation area (HRA) without proper authorization. Specifically, on March 24, 2014, a worker entered a HRA without a survey meter, without being made aware of radiological conditions in the area, and without a health physics technician (HPT) escort and subsequently received a dose rate alarm. Upon identification, the licensee immediately restricted the worker's access to the Radiologically Controlled Area (RCA) and put out a site wide information notice to increase worker awareness of HRA entry requirements. This condition has been placed into the licensee's corrective action program as action request (AR) 01951254.
The finding was determined to be more than minor because it was related to the Occupational Radiation Safety cornerstone attribute of Human Performance (radiation worker proficiency) and adversely affected the cornerstone attribute to ensure the adequate protection of worker health and safety. Specifically, because the worker failed to comply with TS requirements for entry into a HRA he was not knowledgeable of area radiological conditions. The finding was evaluated in accordance with IMC 0609, Appendix C, where it was determined to be Green because it did not involve ALARA planning or work controls, was not an overexposure, did not contain a substantial potential for an overexposure, and the ability to assess dose was not compromised. This finding involved the cross-cutting aspect of Human Performance, Avoid Complacency (H.12) because the worker failed to apply the human performance tools of self and peer checks prior to entering into an HRA.

- UT, Reactor Vessel Inlet Nozzle to Shell Weld at 320°, ASME Class 1 During non-destructive surface and volumetric examinations performed since the previous refueling outage, the licensee did not identify any relevant indications that were analytically evaluated and accepted for continued service. Therefore, no NRC review was completed for this inspection procedure attribute.
Pressurized Water Reactor Vessel Upper Head Penetration Inspection Activities: For the Unit 4 vessel head, a bare metal visual (BMV) examination and Ultrasonic volumetric examinations were required this outage pursuant to 10 CFR 50.55a. The inspectors observed portions of the Unit 4 reactor vessel closure head BMV examinations in the field, and observed a sample of the remote UTs performed on the vessel upper head penetration (VUHP) CRDM penetrations. The inspectors reviewed NDE reports and the disposition of the BMV examination of the area adjacent to nozzle 59, along with the associated UT results for leak path examinations on nozzle No. 59. The UT reports associated with nozzles 1, 59, and 67 wall thickness examinations were reviewed in order to determine if the activities, including the disposition of indications and defects, were conducted in accordance with the requirements of ASME Code Case N-729-1 and 10 CFR 50.55a(g)(6)(ii)(D). In particular, the inspectors evaluated if the required UT scope/coverage was achieved, and limitations (if applicable) were recorded in accordance with the licensee procedures. Additionally, the inspectors evaluated if the licensee's criteria for BMV quality and instructions for resolving interferences and masking issues were consistent with 10 CFR 50.55a.
The licensee did not identify any relevant indications that were accepted for continued service during the UT examination. The BMV examination of the upper head recorded one indication in the area of nozzle No. 59 that was dispositioned through the site Boric
Acid Program as originating from the level indication system joint disconnection process.
The licensee did not perform any welding repairs to the vessel head penetrations since the beginning of the last Unit 4 refueling outage; therefore, no NRC review was completed for this inspection procedure attribute.
Boric Acid Corrosion Control Program Inspection Activities: The inspectors reviewed the licensee's Boric Acid Corrosion Control Program (BACCP) activities to ensure implementation with commitments made in response to NRC Generic Letter 88-05, "Boric Acid Corrosion of Carbon Steel Reactor Pressure Boundary Components in PWR Plants," and applicable industry guidance documents. Specifically, the inspectors performed an on-site record review of the results of the licensee's containment walkdown inspections performed during the current fall refueling outage. The inspectors also interviewed the BACCP owner, conducted an independent walkdown of containment to evaluate compliance with licensee's BACCP 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 BACCP and CAP.
The inspectors reviewed the following ARs and associated corrective actions related to evidence of boric acid leakage, to evaluate if the corrective actions completed were consistent with the requirements of the ASME Section XI Code and 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion XVI.

The inspectors also evaluated correctiv e actions for any degraded components to determine if the licensee properly applied applicable corrosion rates to affected components and properly assessed the effects of corrosion induced wastage on structural or pressure boundary integrity.
- AR 01965050-06, Safety Injection to Loop "A" Cold Leg Check Valve, 4-875A, Active Body to Bonnet Leak
- AR 01853955, Active Leak on 4A Safety Injection Pump
- AR 01995385, CCW Pipe Corrosion
- BACCP Evaluation 94104448, 4E202 Excess Letdown HX Channel Steam Generator Tube Inspection Activities: The licensee did not perform steam generator tube inspection activities during the fall 2014 refueling outage. Therefore, the inspectors did not implement the inspection procedure attributes applicable to tube examination and repair activities. However, the inspectors reviewed the latest Condition Monitoring and Operational Assessment Report for Unit 4, to verify that the licensee's evaluation of inspection results on the primary and secondary sides provided reasonable assurance that the tube integrity performance criteria would be met until the next scheduled inspection. The inspectors also verified that the planned tube inspection schedule was in accordance with the plant's technical specifications.
Identification and Resolution of Problems:
The inspectors reviewed a sample of ISI-related problems that were identified by the licensee and entered into the CAP as ARs. The inspectors reviewed the ARs to confirm the licensee had appropriately described the scope of the problem and had initiated corrective actions. The corrective action documents reviewed by the inspectors are listed in the report Attachment.
The review also included the licensee's consideration and assessment of operating experience (OE) events applicable to the plant. Specifically the inspectors reviewed AR 01991897 associated with industry OE concerning CRDM seismic supports. The inspectors performed this review to ensure that the disposition was in compliance with 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion XVI, "Corrective Action," requirements. The OE identified a failure to perform VTs of the CRDM, ASME Class 1, seismic support plates as required by the ASME Section XI Code. The licensee entered this issue into their CAP as AR Nos. 01991897 and 02016779. The licensee developed an operability evaluation and concluded that the supports for both units remained functional, but non-conforming. The licensee also initiated and completed corrective actions to perform the
required VTs of the CRDM seismic support plates and associated load path components during the current Unit-4 refueling outage (RFO).
The licensee identified that the Unit-3 examination will be performed during the next available Unit-3 outage when conditions are met for examination.

RADIATION SAFETY
Cornerstone:
Public Radiation Safety and Occupational Radiation Safety
2RS1 Radiological Hazard Assessment and Exposure Controls
a. Inspection Scope
Inspection Planning: The inspectors reviewed licensee Performance Indicator (PI) data for the Occupational Exposure Cornerstone. The inspectors also evaluated the scope of the licensee's internal audit program and reviewed recent assessment results.
Radiological Hazard Assessment: During facility tours, the inspectors directly observed postings and physical controls for radiation area, HRA and airborne radioactivity locations established within the Unit 4 (U4) containment, Unit 3 (U3) and U4 auxiliary buildings, and radioactive waste (radwaste) processing and storage locations. The inspectors independently measured radiation dose rates or directly observed conduct of licensee radiation surveys for selected equipment and areas within Radiologically Controlled Area (RCA) locations. Established radiological controls were evaluated for selected U4 Refueling Cycle 28 Outage (U4R28) tasks including seal table work and core barrel insertion as well as secondary side steam generator (SG) maintenance. The inspectors reviewed and evaluated surveys conducted and records maintained for selected RCA areas and/or refueling outage tasks including surveys for alpha emitters, hot particles, airborne radioactivity, potential dose rate gradients, and upcoming pre-task surveys. The inspectors also discussed changes to plant operations that could contribute to changing radiological conditions since the last inspection.
Instructions to Workers: During facility tours, the inspectors observed and evaluated the adequacy of container labeling and area postings for the current U4 outage activities. For selected outage jobs, the inspectors attended pre-job briefings and reviewed the
Radiation Work Permits (RWP) details to assess communication of radiological control requirements and current radiological conditions to workers. Electronic Dosimeter (ED)
alarm logs were reviewed and workers responses to dose and dose rate alarms during selected work activities were evaluated. ED alarm set-points and worker stay times were evaluated against radiation survey results.
Contamination and Radioactive Material Control: The inspectors observed surveys of material and personnel being released from the RCA using small article monitor (SAM),
personnel contamination monitor, and portal monitor instrumentation. SAM equipment sensitivity, alarm set-points, and release program guidance were discussed with licensee staff. The inspectors also reviewed records of leak tests on selected sealed sources, discussed nationally tracked source transactions with licensee staff, and verified sources within select storage locations.
Radiological Hazards Control and Work Coverage: Licensee controls for areas where dose rates could change significantly as a result of plant shutdown and refueling operations were reviewed and discussed. The inspectors reviewed RWPs for work within airborne radioactivity areas. For potential HRA tasks involving significant dose rate gradients, e.g., SG hand hole reach-ins, the inspectors evaluated the use and placement of whole body and extremity dosimetry to monitor worker exposure. Controls and their implementation for storage of irradiated material within the U4 spent fuel pool (SFP) were reviewed and discussed with the licensee.
Risk-Significant High Radiation Area and Very High Radiation Area Controls
- The inspectors evaluated access barrier effectiveness for selected U4 containment building, U3&4 auxiliary building Locked High Radiation Area (LHRA), and Very High Radiation Area (VHRA) locations. Procedures for LHRA and VHRA controls were discussed with
health physics (HP) supervisors.
Radiation Worker Performance and Radiation Protection Technician Proficiency
- Occupational worker adherence to selected RWPs and Radiation Protection Technician (RPT) proficiency in providing U4 containment and auxiliary building job coverage were evaluated through direct observations and discussions with licensee staff.
Problem Identification and Resolution: CAP documents 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 (PI)-AA-104-1000, Corrective Action, 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 the Updated Final Safety Analysis Report (UFSAR) Section 11; Technical Specifications (TS) Sections 6.8 Procedures and Programs and 6.12 HRA; 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 Section
2RS1 of the report Attachment.
b. Findings
Introduction:
A self-revealing, Green NCV of TS 6.12.1, High Radiation Area, occurred when a worker entered an HRA without meeting the entry requirements.
Description:
On March 24, 2014, a plant radiation worker entered a posted HRA on the 14 ft elevation in the U3 containment building. The worker was not logged onto an RWP that authorized HRA entry, had not received the required HRA briefing and had not notified Radiation Protection (RP) prior to entry. The area was posted, "Caution High Radiation Area", "Notify RP Prior to Entry", and "HRA Briefing Required." Shortly after entering the area, the worker's dosimetry alarmed, he stopped work and exited the area.
It was determined that the worker had signed onto RWP No. 14-3008, Task 1, "Non-High Rad Maintenance Support." The dose rate alarm setpoint on the RWP 14-3008 was 20 millirem per hour (mrem/hr). Accessible dose rates in the area were as high as 120 mrem/hr. The highest dose rate encountered by the worker was 27.8 mrem/hr before he stopped work and exited the area. He received 1.4 mrem for the entry. The licensee's investigation concluded the worker's entry into the area without regard to the posting was due to an individual human performance error and was inadvertent.
Analysis:
Failure to acknowledge and comply with established radiological barriers and entry requirements for an HRA in accordance with TS 6.12.1 was a performance deficiency. The finding was determined to be more than minor because it was related to
the Occupational Radiation Safety cornerstone attribute of Human Performance (radiation worker proficiency) and adversely affected the cornerstone attribute to ensure the adequate protection of worker health and safety. Specifically, because the worker failed to comply with TS requirements for entry into a HRA, he was not knowledgeable of area radiological conditions. The finding was evaluated in accordance with IMC 0609, Appendix C, where it was determined to be Green because it did not involve ALARA planning or work controls, was not an overexposure, did not contain a substantial potential for an overexposure, and the ability to assess dose was not compromised.
This finding involved the cross-cutting aspect of Human Performance, Avoid Complacency [H.12] because the worker failed to self and peer check prior to entering a posted HRA.
Enforcement:
Technical Specification 6.12.1 requires individuals entering HRAs to meet one or more of the following criteria: a) be provided with a survey meter; b) wear an ED and be made aware of radiological conditions in the area; or c) be escorted by a Health Physics Technician (HPT). Contrary to the above, on March 24, 2014, a worker entered a HRA without a survey meter, without being made aware of radiological conditions in the area, and without a HPT escort. Immediate corrective actions taken by the licensee were to restrict the worker from the RCA pending further investigation and issue a site communication on HRA entry compliance. Because this finding was of very low safety significance and entered into the licensee's CAP as AR 01951254, this finding is being treated as an NCV consistent with Section 2.3.2 of the NRC Enforcement Policy. (NCV 05000250/2014005-01, Non-compliance with HRA entry requirements)

4OA2 Problem Identification and Resolution
.1 Daily Review
a. Inspection Scope
As required by Inspection Procedure 71152, "Identification and Resolution of Problems,"
and to help identify repetitive equipment failures or specific human performance issues for follow-up, the inspectors performed a screening of items entered daily into the licensee's corrective action program. This review was accomplished by reviewing daily printed summaries of ARs and by reviewing the licensee's electronic AR database. Additionally, RCS unidentified leakage was checked on a daily basis to verify no substantive or unexplained changes. Documents reviewed are listed in the Attachment.
b. Findings
No findings were identified.
.2 Semi-Annual Trend
a. Inspection Scope
The inspectors performed a review of the licensee's records including action requests, work orders, and narrative logs to asses a number of recent water intrusion events associated with various safety related systems, structures, and components during the calendar year of 2014. The inspector reviewed the licensee's common cause evaluation report associated with action request 02003835, Adverse Trend on Water Intrusion Events. The inspectors' review was focused on the licensee evaluation of recent events where they identified water in conduits, on floors, and electrical cabinets. The inspectors
evaluated the effectiveness of the licensee's corrective actions and the significance of the problems including attributes such as accurate documentation, reportability, corrective actions, and problem resolution.
b. Findings and Observations
No inspector findings were identified. The licensee determined that there was no common cause for the water intrusion conditions and it was not directly related to local precipitation in the area of the plant. The inspectors noted that in most cases the water intrusion events were due to lack of maintenance and housekeeping to ensure door seals, floor drains, and sealed connections are properly monitored and maintained. The licensee corrected the water intrusion conditions as they were identified and no adverse effects resulted from the water intrusion events. The inspectors did not identify any additional trends not observed by the licensee's trending activities.
4OA3 Event Follow-up
.1 (Closed) LER 05000250/2014-003-00, Manual Actuation of the Reactor Protection System Due to Failure of Group Step Counter
On April 23, 2014, the licensee manually opened the reactor trip breakers as required by the action of Technical Specification 3.1.3.3 due to the group step counter demand position indicator (Group 1 and Group 2) not within 2 steps of each other. The reactor was subcritical in Mode 3 progressing to reactor startup at the time of the manual reactor trip. All rods fully inserted and the unit remained in Mode 3. The licensee determined that the failure of the group step demand counter position indicator to increment was due to the supervisory data logging card A114 not being fully seated in the circuit card rack.
The licensee determined the root cause of the event was an inadequate procedure for rod control preventative maintenance that did not require a visual inspection or independent verification to ensure the card was properly seated. Corrective actions were performed in accordance with AR 1960842 and included revising the Rod Control System Preventative Maintenance and Power Cabinet Functional Test procedure to require a visual inspection and independent verification to verify engagement of printed circuit boards with the circuit card rack. The inspectors reviewed the LER and the associated corrective action document (AR 1960842) to verify the accuracy and completeness of the LER and the appropriateness of the licensee's corrective actions.The inspectors also reviewed the LER and AR to identify any licensee performance deficiencies associated with the issue. No performance deficiencies were identified by the inspectors during the review. This LER is closed.
.2 (Closed) LER 05000251/2014-002-00, Automatic Actuation of the Reactor Protection System Due to Low Main Condenser Vacuum
The LER documented that on May 25, 2014, while Unit 4 was operating at 20 percent power during a shutdown to repair an unrelated equipment issue, an unplanned automatic reactor trip occurred due to low condenser vacuum. The lowering condenser vacuum occurred during the transfer of steam supply to the gland sealing steam system from the Unit 4 main steam system to the Unit 3 auxiliary steam system. The licensee determined the cause of the trip to be a failure of personnel to adequately address the integrated system status as part of the decision making process used to realign the steam supply to the gland sealing system. A contributing cause was determined to be that procedure 4-GOP-103, "Power Operation to Hot Standby," allowed the steam supply realignment to be performed while the unit was in Mode 1. Corrective actions included; the revision of 4-GOP-103 to include specific direction that the steam supply to the gland sealing steam system cannot be transferred from the main steam system to the auxiliary steam system with the unit in Mode 1 or 2, and provide training to all licensed operators on the integrated system response aspect of risk-based decision making. The inspectors reviewed the LER and the root cause evaluation (AR 1967899) documenting this event. This LER is closed.
a. Inspection Scope
In addition to reviewing the LER, the inspectors reviewed the licensee's root cause evaluation (RCE), Unit 4 technical specifications, and the post trip review (PTR) restart report. The inspector's verified the timeline of events associated with the LER and the immediate and subsequent corrective actions taken by the licensee to address the issue.
b. Findings
Introduction:
A Green self-revealing non-cited violation (NCV) of Technical Specification (TS) 6.8.1, Procedures, was identified for the licensee's failure to maintain an adequate procedure for gland sealing steam supply realignment. Specifically, the licensee failed to have initial conditions in place in the procedure that provided specific direction that steam supply to the gland sealing system cannot be transferred from the main steam system to the auxiliary steam system with a unit in Mode 1 or 2. As a result, the steam supply for gland sealing was transferred from the main steam system to the auxiliary steam system with Unit 4 in Mode 1 resulting in lowering condenser vacuum and subsequent automatic reactor trip on low condenser vacuum.
Description:
On May 25, 2014, with Unit 4 operating in Mode 1 at 20 percent power for a shutdown to repair an unrelated equipment issue, two field operators were directed to perform actions in accordance with 4-GOP-103, "Power Operation to Hot Standby," to re-align the steam supply to the Unit 4 auxiliary l oads from the Unit 4 main steam system to the Unit 3 auxiliary steam supply system. This required aligning auxiliary steam from Unit 3 to supply the Unit 4 steam jet air ejectors, Unit 4 gland sealing steam, and the Unit 4 condenser air ejector.
Gland sealing steam was being supplied by the turbine cylinder heat system which affected the ability of the gland sealing system to compensate for changes in turbine loading. Additionally, condenser vacuum was at 27.9 inches Hg, which is approximately one inch lower than normal due to condenser air in-leakage. As a result of the condenser air in-leakage, the Unit 4 condenser air ejector was in service which placed an additional load on the steam supply system causing a longer period for the auxiliary steam supply control valve to restore pressure. When the steam supply to the gland sealing system was realigned from the main steam system to the auxiliary steam system, it decreased the supply pressure to the gland sealing steam regulating valve and the gland sealing steam system could not maintain adequate sealing steam pressure. Consequently, air was introduced into the condenser through the turbine glands resulting in a rapid lowering of condenser vacuum. The low condenser vacuum trip set point of was reached resulting in an automatic reactor trip. Operators in the control room noted the lowering vacuum but could not respond quickly enough to initiate a manual trip before the automatic trip occurred. Normal reactor decay heat removal by dumping steam to the main condenser was never lost due to the loss of condenser vacuum.
The two operators had been previously briefed by the work control center supervisor to be prepared to realign the steam supply once the unit was offline and if the Main Steam Isolation Valves (MSIVs) were closed. The control room supervisor re-directed the operators to perform the procedural steps for realigning steam loads in 4-GOP-103 prior to meeting those conditions. The licensee entered this issue into their corrective action program as action request 1967899 and conducted a root cause evaluation (RCE). The RCE determined the root cause to be a failure of personnel to adequately address the integrated system status as part of the decision making process used to realign the steam supply to the gland sealing system. The licensee also determined that operating procedure, 4-GOP-103, did not provide adequate direction for what initial conditions were required prior to transferring steam supply to the gland sealing steam system from the main steam system to the auxiliary steam system. The licensee revised the general operating procedure to provide direction that gland sealing steam system supply steam transfer cannot occur in Modes 1 or 2 and they conducted training with all licensed operators on integrated system response in risk-based decision making.
Analysis:
The licensee's failure to maintain an adequate procedure for gland sealing steam supply realignment was a performance deficiency. Specifically, the licensee failed to have initial conditions in place in the procedure that provided specific direction that steam supply to the gland sealing system cannot be transferred from the main steam system to the auxiliary steam system with a unit in Mode 1 or 2. The inspectors determined the performance deficiency was more than minor using IMC 0612, Appendix B, Issue Screening (September 7, 2012), because the performance deficiency was associated with the procedure quality attribute of the initiating events cornerstone and adversely affected the cornerstone objective to limit the likelihood of events that upset plant stability and challenge critical safety functions during power operations. Specifically, the failure to have specific guidance in procedure 4-GOP-103 that prevented realigning the gland sealing steam supply while in Mode 1 or 2 resulted in lowering condenser vacuum and subsequent reactor trip on low condenser vacuum when the gland sealing steam supply was attempted to be realigned while Unit 4 was in Mode 1. The inspectors performed an initial screening of the finding using NRC Inspection Manual Chapter (IMC) 06 and determined that the finding was a transient initiator contributor which required evaluation using Exhibit 1, "Initiating Events Screening Questions of IMC 0609", Appendix A, "The Significance Determination Process (SDP) for Findings At-Power" (July 19, 2012). The inspectors determined that the finding was of very low safety significance (Green) because the performance deficiency did not result in a reactor trip and loss of mitigating equipment relied upon to transition the plant to a safe shutdown condition. The finding was associated with a cross-cutting aspect in the resources component of the human performance area because the licensee failed to ensure an adequate general operating procedure was available to support nuclear safety (H.1).
Enforcement:
Technical Specification 6.8.1 requi res that procedures required by the FPL Quality Assurance Topical Report (QATR) are maintained. The QATR includes procedures listed in Appendix A of NRC Regulatory Guide 1.33, Revision 2, dated February 1978, which lists general plant operating procedures to include Operation to Hot Standby. The licensee implements this requirement using procedure 4-GOP-103, Power Operation to Hot Standby. Contrary to the above, the licensee failed to ensure procedure 4-GOP-103 was available and adequate to prevent gland sealing system steam supply realignment while in Modes 1 or 2 resulting in an automatic reactor trip due to low condenser vacuum. The licensee took action to add initial conditions to procedure 4-GOP-103 that would not allow gland seal system steam supply realignment while in Modes 1 or 2. This violation is being treated as a non-cited violation, consistent with Section 2.3.2 of the Enforcement Policy. This violation was entered into the licensee's corrective action program as action request 1967899. (NCV 05000251/2014005-02, Inadequate Procedure to Realign Steam Supply to the Gland
Sealing Steam System)
.3 (Closed) Licensee Event Report (LER) 0500025/2014-005-00, Manual Reactor Trip Due to Loss of Instrument Air
On August 11, 2014, Unit 3 was manually tripped from 100 percent reactor power due to a loss of instrument air pressure. The running instrument air compressor was inadvertently unloaded by the plant operator and the standby compressors started but did not load and pressurize the air header due to a latent system design problem associated with the compressor digital control logic software. During the event, the operators believed a leak was present in the containment building and isolated instrument air to the containment building resulting in a loss of reactor coolant system (RCS) letdown and pressurizer spray control. The pressurizer level and reactor coolant system pressure increased. Pressure increased to approximately 2310 psig when power-operated relief valve (PORV) 455C cycled open and closed several times. The operating crew initiated a controlled cool down to assist in maintaining pressurizer level. Safety injection could not be blocked because RCS pressure remained above the 2000 psig permissive set point. When RCS temperature reached approximately 470 degrees F, an automatic safety injection actuation occurred as a result of the engineered safety feature (ESF) actuation system main steam line high differential pressure conditions being met. Injection into the RCS did not occur since pressure remained higher than the discharge pressure of the high head safety injection and residual heat removal pumps. The inspectors reviewed the LER to verify its accuracy, completeness, and associated corrective actions taken or planned. This LER is closed.
a. Inspection Scope
In addition to reviewing the LER, the inspectors reviewed the licensee's root cause evaluation (RCE), Unit 3 technical specifications, and the post trip review (PTR) restart report. The inspector's verified the timeline of events associated with the LER and the immediate and subsequent corrective actions taken by the licensee to address the issue.
b. Findings
Failure to Perform an Adequate Design Verification
Introduction:
A Green self-revealing finding was identified for the licensee's failure to verify the adequacy of the control system during modifications that were performed on the Unit 3 and Unit 4 instrument air compressors. The design verification was necessary to ensure that the standby diesel-driven air compressors would load and pressurize the instrument air header following a loss of instrument air pressure.
Description:
In 2013, the licensee completed modifications to the Unit 3 and Unit 4 instrument air systems that included engineering change (EC) 246991 and EC 246990. The modifications included one motor-driven compressor and one standby diesel-driven compressor for each unit with the diesel-driven compressors designed to operate in a standby mode with the capability to start and load on a lowering pressure condition to prevent losing instrument air pressure. On August 11, 2014, Unit 3 was manually tripped from 100 percent reactor power due to a loss of instrument air. The running motor-driven instrument air compressor was unloaded by the plant equipment operator in error. Upon depressurization of the instrument air system, the standby diesel-driven compressors started but did not load and pressurize the air header as designed.
Following the event on August 11, 2014, the licensee determined that a latent design flaw existed in the standby compressor control logic that allowed the compressors to start but not load and pressurize the air header on a lowering pressure condition. The licensee found that the standby diesel-driven compressors failed to load because of a software design condition that existed w here a load permissive signal was erroneously programmed into the control logic that prevented the compressor from loading unless the compressor cooling fan was running. The running cooling fan was required to satisfy a permissive signal in the operating logic. The inspectors determined that the licensee did not perform an adequate design verification review of the diesel-driven instrument air compressor control logic in accordance with quality instruction ENG-QI-1.7, "Nuclear Engineering Design Input Verification," Section 5.3, "Design Qualification," to ensure the new instrument air system would function properly under all conditions. Corrective actions included an immediate modification to the standby compressor loading control circuit to ensure the machine would load automatically and revising general procedural guidance for compressor operation. Additional corrective actions included establishing a new required level of review and verification for vendor related digital modifications, and a review of all digital modifications performed by an external design organization in the past five years to determine if similar latent design issues exist.
The licensee entered this finding in their corrective action program as action request 01983607 and performed a root cause evaluation. The licensee's root cause evaluation focused on what caused the loss of instrument air pressure. The licensee evaluation for the loss of instrument air event determined the root causes of the event to be: 1) a latent design error with the diesel-driven instrument air compressor control logic that prevented the compressor from loading, and 2) the design error was not identified or corrected by FPL Nuclear Projects Engineering (NPE) due to an overreliance on the design vendor to provide a complex digital modification.
Analysis:
The licensee's failure to perform an adequate design verification of control system function for modifications perfo rmed on the Unit 3 and 4 instrument air compressor systems was a performance deficiency. Specifically, instrument air compressor modifications EC 246991 and EC 246990 were accepted and placed into service by the licensee without verification that the control logic configuration would function properly and load the air compressor under design conditions. The inspectors determined the performance deficiency was more than minor using IMC 0612, Appendix B, "Issue Screening," (September 7, 2012) because the performance deficiency was associated with the design control attribute of the initiating events cornerstone and adversely affected the cornerstone objective to limit the likelihood of events that upset plant stability and challenge critical safety functions during power operations. Specifically, the failure to have an adequate design for controlling the operation of the standby instrument air compressor resulted in a manual reactor trip due to the loss of instrument air pressure. The inspectors screened the issue under the initiating events cornerstone using Attachment 4 (June 19, 2012) and Exhibit 1 (June 19, 2012) of Appendix A to IMC 0609, "Significance Determination Process" (June 2, 2011). The inspectors concluded that a detailed risk evaluation would be required because the finding was associated with the loss of a support system that resulted in a reactor trip and affected equipment that could be used by plant operators to mitigate the resulting plant transient. A senior reactor analyst (SRA) performed a detailed risk evaluation of this issue. The NRC model for Turkey Point was adjusted by: 1) increasing the initiating event frequency for a loss of instrument air (LOIA) event by one order-of-magnitude, and 2) the failure-to-run probability of the backup air compressors was set equal to 1.0. The change in core damage frequency results were below the 1E-6 threshold and the issue was determined to be of very low risk significance (Green). The finding was associated with a cross-cutting aspect in the resources component of the human performance area because the licensee failed to ensure instru ment air system equipment was available and adequate to support nuclear safety (H.1).
Enforcement:
This finding does not involve enforcement action because the design verification issue was associated with the non-safety related diesel-driven air compressors and no violation of a regulatory requirement was identified. The licensee entered this issue into the corrective action program as AR 1983607. Because this finding does not involve a violation and is of very low safety significance, it is identified as FIN 05000250, 251/2014005-03, Failure to Perform an Adequate Design Verification.
Failure to Fully Implement Emergency Oper ating Procedure 3-EOP-ES-0.1, Reactor Trip Response
Introduction:
A Green self-revealing non-cited violation (NCV) of TS 6.8.1, Procedures, was identified when the licensee failed to fully implement procedure 3-EOP-ES-0.1, "Reactor Trip Response." Specifically, the licensee failed to take effective action to implement Step 25 of 3-EOP-ES-0.1 and maintain pressurizer pressure and level within their required bands in order to stabilize plant conditions following a loss of instrument air and a reactor plant trip.
Description:
On August 11, 2014, Unit 3 was manually tripped from 100 percent reactor power due to a loss of instrument air pressure. Operators isolated instrument air to the Unit 3 containment building per 0-ONOP-013, "Loss of Instrument Air," in response to indications that the reduction in air pressure was due to a leak inside containment.
Operators manually tripped the reactor when instrument air pressure continued to drop below 65 psig as required by procedure 0-ONOP-013. Following the reactor trip, the control room operators entered procedures 3-EOP-E-0, "Reactor Trip" followed by 3-EOP-ES-0.1, "Reactor Trip Response." Without instrument air, the air operated pressurizer spray and chemical volume control system let down valves failed closed as designed. This caused pressurizer level and pressure to increase. The bands for stable plant conditions were pressurizer level between 20 to 30 percent and pressurizer pressure between 2220 to 2250 psig. To control pressure and level, the operating crew initially reduced the 3A charging pump demand to a minimum, which tripped the pump. The 3B charging pump was started, but the operating crew was reluctant to drive the pump to minimum demand based on the response of the 3A pump. The licensee determined the crew did not reduce charging flow because they did not want to risk tripping the 3A pump and reducing reactor coolant pump seal flow. Pressurizer level and pressure continued to increase to approximately 92 percent and 2310 psig respectively. The increased pressure caused power operated relief valve 3-455C to cycle open and closed multiple times to prevent an over pressure condition. The operating crew elected to initiate a reactor plant cool down in accordance with procedure 3-GOP-305, "Hot Standby to Cold Shutdown," to assist in lowering pressurizer level to prevent filling it solid. The safety injection actuation signal could not be blocked during the cool down because RCS pressure remained above the 2000 psig block permissive set point. During the cool down, when RCS temperature reached approximately 470 degrees F, an automatic safety injection actuation occurred as a result of the engineered safety feature (ESF) actuation system main steam line high differential pressure conditions being met. Injection into the RCS did not actually occur since pressure remained higher than the discharge pressure of the high head safety injection and residual heat removal pumps.
The licensee's root cause evaluation focused on what caused the valid safety injection following the loss of instrument air and manual reactor trip. The licensee's evaluation for the valid ESF safety injection event determined the root cause to be inadequate guidance in 0-ONOP-013, "Loss of Instrument Air," for response to a loss of air-operated valves in the containment building. The licensee also determined a contributing cause of the event was ineffective operator implementation of Step 25 of 3-EOP-ES-0.1 to maintain pressurizer pressure and level within their required bands in order to stabilize plant conditions following the loss of instrument air and reactor plant trip. The inspectors concluded that there was a lack of operator awareness that the reactor coolant pump seals were designed so that seal flow could be lost for short periods of time without damage and this contributed to the operator's reluctance to take action to minimize charging flow. The inspectors also noted that there were other options available to the operating crew that would have helped stabilize pressurizer pressure and level without the loss of reactor coolant pump seal flow. Following the event, the licensee implemented corrective actions which included providing training to all licensed operators on maintaining stable plant conditions when implementing EOP-ES-0.1, "Reactor Trip Response," with a loss of instrument air.
Analysis:
The licensee's failure to implement Step 25 of 3-EOP-ES-0.1 to maintain pressurizer pressure and level within their required bands in order to stabilize plant conditions following a loss of instrument air and a reactor plant trip was a performance deficiency. The performance deficiency resulted in lifting a pressurizer power operated relief valve and a valid safety injection actuation signal. The performance deficiency was more than minor because it was associated with the human performance attribute of the initiating events cornerstone and adversely affected the cornerstone objective to limit the likelihood of events that upset plant stability and challenge critical safety functions during shutdown as well as power operations. The inspectors screened the issue under the initiating events cornerstone using Attachment 4 (June 19, 2012) and Exhibit 1 (June 19, 2012) of Appendix A to IMC 0609, "Significance Determination Process" (June 2, 2011).
The inspectors concluded that a detailed risk evaluation would be required because the finding was associated with a transient initiator and operator actions to utilize equipment to mitigate the associated plant transient. A senior reactor analyst (SRA) performed a
detailed risk evaluation of this issue. The NRC model for Turkey Point was adjusted by setting the failure probability of the PORV to remain closed during an event equal to 1.0.
This represented the impact of failing to follow the emergency operating procedures resulting in lifting the PORVs during the event. The delta-CDF results were below the 1E-6 threshold and the issue was thus determined to be of very low risk significance (Green). This finding was associated with a cross-cutting aspect in the training
component of the human performance area because the licensee failed to ensure licensed operator training provided knowledge that the reactor coolant pump seals could operate for a short period of time without seal flow (H.9).
Enforcement:
Technical Specification 6.8.1 requires, in part, that procedures required by the FPL Quality Assurance Topical Repor t (QATR) be implemented. The QATR includes procedures listed in Appendix A of NRC Regulatory Guide 1.33, Revision 2, dated February 1978, which includes procedures for combating emergencies or other significant events. The licensee implements this requirement, in part, through procedure 3-EOP-ES-0.1, "Reactor Trip Response." Step 25 of 3-EOP-ES-0.1 required operators to maintain stable plant conditions with pressurizer level between 20 to 30 percent and pressurizer pressure between 2220 to 2250 psig. Contrary to this requirement, the licensee did not maintain stable plant conditions and pressurizer level reached 92 percent and pressure reached 2310 psig. This violation is being treated as an NCV, consistent with Section 2.3.2 of the Enforcement Policy, because it was of very low safety significance and was entered in the licensee's corrective action program as AR 01983618. (NCV 05000250/2014005-04, Failure to Fully Implement Emergency Operating Procedure 3-EOP-ES-0.1, Reactor Trip Response)
4OA5 Other Activities
.1 Independent Spent Fuel Storage Facility (ISFSI) Walk down
a. Inspection Scope
On December 11, 2014, the inspector conducted a walk down of the ISFSI protected
area per inspection procedure 60855.1, "Operation of an ISFSI at Operating Plants."
The inspectors observed the passive ventilation system to be free of any obstruction allowing natural draft convection decay heat removal through the air inlet and air outlet openings. The inspectors observed associated cask building structures to be structurally intact and radiation protection access controls to the ISFSI area to be satisfactory.
b. Findings
No findings were identified.
.2 (Closed) Temporary Instruction 2515/189, Inspection to Determine Compliance of Dynamic Restraint (Snubber) Program with 10 CFR 50.55a Regulatory Requirements for Inservice Examination and Testing of Snubbers
a. Inspection Scope
The inspectors conducted an onsite review of the implementation of the licensee's snubber program, in accordance with Temporary Instruction (TI) 2515/189, to verify that the program was in compliance with the requirements of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) 50.55a, as discussed in Regulatory Information Summary (RIS) 2010-06, "Inservice Inspection and Testing of Dynamic Restraints (Snubbers)." The inspectors reviewed the licensee's actions taken as a result of RIS 2010-06, which included a self-assessment of the snubber program. The licensee concluded that no action was required as a result of the RIS 2010-006. The inspectors conducted an independent walkdown to evaluate compliance with licensee's program requirements and observed the visual inspection of a selection of five snubbers. The inspectors reviewed the methodology for the snubber population selection and selected six snubbers to review based on risk-informed insights, performance history, plant conditions, snubber classification, and accessibility to verify the visual examination of the selected snubbers was performed as stated by the licensee's technical specifications during the current 10-year interval. For the selected snubbers, the inspectors reviewed the visual test records during the current 10-year Inservice Inspection (ISI) interval to verify that these activities were in accordance with the licensee's TSs. The inspectors also observed in-process bench testing of one of the selected snubbers, and verified that the test parameters met the acceptance criteria specified in the procedure. The inspectors reviewed the process for snubber service-life monitoring and determined that the selected snubbers were being monitored and maintained. Additionally, the inspectors verified that the current, as well as a sample of past degraded or non-conforming conditions, were properly identified and corrected in accordance with the licensee's corrective action program.
b. Findings
No findings were identified. A Severity Level IV licensee-identified violation is documented in Section
4OA7 of this report.
4OA6 Meetings
Exit Meeting Summary
The resident inspectors presented the inspection results to Mr. Kiley and other members of licensee management on January 8, 2015. The inspectors asked the licensee whether any of the material examined during the inspection should be considered proprietary information. The licensee did not identify any proprietary information.
4OA7 Licensee-Identified Violations
The following Severity Level IV (SL-IV) violation was identified by the licensee, and was a violation of NRC requirements which meet the criteria of the NRC Enforcement Policy, for being dispositioned as a Non-Cited Violation (NCV).
Title 10 CFR 50.55a g (5) (ii), states, in part, that if a revised ISI program for a facility conflicts with the TS for the facility, the licensee shall apply to the Commission for amendment of the TSs to conform the TS to the revised program. Contrary to the above, from February 22, 2004, to October 03, 2014, the licensee failed to apply to the Commission for an amendment of the TSs when the revised ISI program for Turkey Point, Units 3 and 4, conflicted with the TS for the facility. Specifically, TS 3/4.7.6, "Snubbers," conflicted with the revised ISI program for dynamic restraints (snubbers)because the TS did not reflect the latest American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) Code of record for the current (Fourth) ISI interval (ASME Section XI, 1998 Edition with 2000 Addenda). This violation was dispositioned through the traditional enforcement process because the failure to submit a TS amendment impacted a regulatory process in that, the NRC was not able to perform its regulatory function in determining the adequacy of a licensed activity. This violation was determined to be of Severity Level IV because it is consistent with Example 6.1.d.3 in the NRC Enforcement Policy (revised July 9, 2013), "Reactor Operations." As a result of a self-assessment, this violation was entered in the licensee's CAP as AR 01984462.
