SUBJECT: PALISADES NUCLEAR PLANT - NRC PROBLEM IDENTIFICATION AND RESOLUTION INSPECTION REPORT 05000255/2014007

Dear Mr. Vitale:

On June 11, 2014, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed a Problem Identification and Resolution Inspection at your Palisades Nuclear Plant. The enclosed inspection report documents the inspection results, which were discussed at an interim exit meeting on May 23, 2014, and a final exit meeting on June 11, 2014, with you and other

members of your staff. The inspection examined activities conducted under your license as they related 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 personnel.

On the basis of the samples selected for review, the inspectors concluded that the Corrective

Action Program at Palisades Nuclear Plant was adequate in the areas of identifying, evaluating and correcting issues with some identified opportunities for improvement. There was a low threshold for identifying issues and entering them into the Corrective Action Program. The

significance of the issues was screened using risk insights and the significance drove the

prioritization of issue evaluation and resolution. Evaluations were adequate, overall, in

determining the underlying cause of the issues and corrective actions were generally implemented in a timely manner, commensurate wi

th their safety significance. Operating experience was evaluated and entered into the Corrective Action Program, if applicable. The use of operating experience was integrated into daily activities and found to be effective in

preventing similar issues at the plant. In addition, self-assessments, audits, and effectiveness reviews were found to be conducted at a sufficient depth for all departments. The assessments

reviewed were thorough and effective in identifying site performance deficiencies, programmatic concerns, and improvement opportunities. Based on the results of the interviews conducted, the inspectors did not identify any impediment to the establishment of a safety conscious work environment (SCWE) at Palisades Nuclear Plant with the exception of the Security Department. Licensee staff was aware of and generally familiar with the Corrective Action Program and other station processes, including the Employee Concerns Program, through which concerns could be raised. The staff was also comfortable raising concerns without fear of retaliation.

A. Vitale -2-

As discussed in NRC Inspection Report 05000255/2014009, dated March 6, 2014, the NRC performed a limited scope Problem Identification and Resolution inspection that identified a chilled work environment within the Security D

epartment. In particular, the NRC concluded that staff within the Security Department perceived that: (1) recent actions to terminate the

employment of two supervisors was in retaliation for their raised concerns; (2) the Corrective Action Program was ineffective at addressing equipment and other concerns raised by the

Security staff; (3) Security management was unresponsive to employees' concerns; and (4) the Employee Concerns Program could not be relied upon to maintain employee confidentiality.

In response to our identification of a chilled work environment within the Security Department,

you developed the Palisades Security SCWE Action Plan and the NRC planned to review the effectiveness of actions taken to implement the Action Plan.

During this inspection, we reviewed your implementation of the Palisades Security SCWE

Action Plan and verified that, to date, you have completed all of the actions as committed to in

the Action Plan. However, we concluded that the quality of the actions implemented have been

insufficient to assess and understand the cause of the chilled work environment within the Security Department and did not demonstrate a strong commitment to effectively improve the safety conscious work environment in the Security Department. Specif

ically, significant gaps were found to exist in the security officers' knowledge of the actions being taken to address the

chilled safety conscious work environment and management's commitment to improving the overall safety conscious work environment.

For example, security officers had a limited recollection of any discussion of the results of the NRC's limited scope Problem Identification and Resolution inspection, and security officers

stated that they were not informed of the site's development and implementation of a Security

SCWE Action Plan or the specific actions required by the Action Plan. Also, the security officers were unaware of the establishment of the site's Security Ombudsman Program as directed in the Action Plan; the intent of the program; or their shift representatives for the Program, despite the selection and assignment of personnel to these positions at the end of March 2014. Lastly,

the security officers were unaware of a significant organizational change that added the

Regulatory and Performance Improvement Director to the Security Department chain of

command.

Therefore, we are requesting that you provide a response to us, within 30 days of your receipt of this letter, that outlines actions that you have taken or plan to take to further enhance your

Palisades Security SCWE Action Plan to improve

the safety conscious work environment in the Security Department at Palisades. The NRC will

continue to closely monitor Security Department safety conscious work environment and any supplemental actions that you may choose to take with a follow-up inspection.

We plan to discuss with you the results of our safety conscious work environment inspections

during the upcoming End-of-Cycle assessment

public meeting. The NRC requests that you be prepared to discuss: (1) the root cause of the chilled work environment within the Security

Department; (2) your progress in addressing the safety conscious work environment concerns

within the Security Department; and (3) any additional actions planned and/or implemented to address the safety conscious work environment at Palisades, including actions as a result of our

observations during this Problem Identification and Resolution inspection.

2 SUMMARY OF FINDINGS Inspection Report 05000255/2014007; 05/05/2014 - 06/11/2014; Palisades Nuclear Plant; Problem Identification and Resolution.

This inspection was performed by four region-based inspectors and the Palisades Resident

Inspector. The NRC's program for overseeing t

he safe operation of commercial nuclear power reactors is described in NUREG-1649, "Reac

tor Oversight Process," Revision 4, dated December 2006. Problem Identification and Resolution

On the basis of the samples selected for review, the inspectors concluded that the Corrective Action Program at Palisades Nuclear Plant was adequate in the areas of identifying, evaluating

and correcting issues with some identified opportunities for improvement. The licensee had a

low threshold for identifying issues and entering them into the Corrective Action Program. The

significance of the issues was screened using risk insights and the significance drove the prioritization of issue evaluation and resolution. Evaluations were adequate, overall, in determining the underlying cause of the issues and corrective actions were generally

implemented in a timely manner, commensurate wi

th their safety significance. Operating experience was evaluated and entered into the Corrective Action Program, if applicable. The

use of operating experience was integrated into daily activities and found to be effective in preventing similar issues at the plant. In addition, self-assessments, audits, and effectiveness reviews were found to be conducted at a sufficient depth for all departments. The assessments

reviewed were thorough and effective in identifying site performance deficiencies, programmatic

concerns, and improvement opportunities. Based on the results of the interviews conducted,

the inspectors did not identify any impediment to

the establishment of a safety conscious work environment (SCWE) at Palisades Nuclear Plant with the exception of the Security Department. Licensee staff was aware of and generally familiar with the Corrective Action Program and other station processes, including the Employee Concerns Program, through which concerns could be raised. The staff was also comfortable raising concerns without fear of retaliation.

Although implementation of the Corrective Action Program was determined to be adequate, the inspectors identified several issues that were either minor in nature and/or represented a potential weakness in the program.

The inspectors concluded that, to date, the site had completed all the actions as committed to in

the Security SCWE Action Plan. However, the inspectors concluded that the quality of the

actions implemented have been insufficient to assess and understand the cause of the chilled

work environment within the Security Department and did not demonstrate a strong commitment to effectively improve the safety conscious work environment in the Security Department. Specifically, significant gaps were found to exist in the security officers' knowledge of the actions being taken to address the chilled safety conscious work environment and

management's commitment to improving the overall safety conscious work environment.

Based on the information reviewed during this inspection, the inspectors concluded that the

control room structure continues to perform its intended safety function, and the installed

modifications, if maintained, are adequate to prevent water intrusion into the control room.

Therefore, the inspectors determined that the licensee had fulfilled the Confirmatory Action

Letter commitments to address the Safety Injection Refueling Water Tank (SIRWT) and Control Room concrete support structure leakage.

Documents reviewed are listed in the Attachment to this report. .1 Assessment of the Corrective Action Program Effectiveness

Inspection Scope

The inspectors reviewed the procedures and processes that described the Corrective Action Program at Palisades Nuclear Plant to ensure, in part, that the requirements of

10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion XVI, "Corrective Action," were met. The inspectors

observed and evaluated the effectiveness of meetings related to the Corrective Action Program, such as the Condition Report Prescreening meeting, the Condition Review Group meeting, and the Corrective Action Review Board meeting. Selected licensee

personnel were interviewed to assess their understanding of and their involvement in the

Corrective Action Program. The inspectors reviewed selected condition reports across all seven Reactor Oversight Process cornerstones to determine if problems were being properly identified and entered into the licensee's Corrective Action Program. The majority of the risk-informed samples of condition reports reviewed were

issued since the last NRC biennial Problem Identification and Resolution inspection completed in February 2012. The inspectors

also reviewed selected issues that were more than 5 years old. The inspectors assessed the licensee's characterization and evaluation of the issues and examined the assigned corrective actions. This review encompassed the full range of safety significance and evaluation classes, including root cause evaluations, apparent

cause evaluations, common cause evaluations, condition report responses, and human

performance error reviews. The inspectors assessed the scope and depth of the

licensee's evaluations. For significant conditions adverse to quality, the inspectors evaluated the licensee's corrective actions to prevent recurrence and for less significant issues, the inspectors reviewed the corrective actions to determine if they were

implemented in a timely manner commensurate with their safety significance. The inspectors selected the Auxiliary Feedwater Actuation System and Reactor Protection System power supply components to re

view in detail over a 5 year period. Both systems were safety-related and risk-significant Maintenance Rule (a)(1) systems with previously identified power supply component problems. At the time of the inspection, the Reactor Protection System was in a Maintenance Rule (a)(1) status, and

the Auxiliary Feedwater Actuation System

had recently returned from a Maintenance Rule (a)(1) status to a Maintenance Rule (a)(2) status. The primary purpose of this

review was to determine whether the licensee was properly monitoring and evaluating the performance of risk-significant systems. The inspectors also assessed the licensee's implementation of various system monitoring programs and performed

5 walkdowns, as needed, to verify the resolution of issues. As part of this review, the inspectors interviewed the current and prev

ious system engineers, reviewed a sample of system health reports, condition reports, operating experience, apparent cause evaluations, and root cause evaluations. The inspectors also attended the Plant Health

Committee Meeting to observe the process the licensee used for identifying, prioritizing, and resolving issues that challenged unit reliability. The inspectors reviewed Corrective

Action Program and work management system procedures that provided guidance for trending. In addition, the inspectors walked down the Auxiliary Feedwater Actuation

System panel area to visually inspect recent power supply-related maintenance and to verify that identified concerns were entered into the Corrective Action Program. The inspectors examined the results of self-assessments of the Corrective Action Program completed during the review period. The results of the self-assessments were

compared to self-revealed and NRC-identified findings. The inspectors also reviewed

the corrective actions associated with previously identified non-cited violations and findings to determine whether the station

properly evaluated and resolved those issues. The inspectors performed walkdowns, as necessary, to verify the resolution of the

issues. Assessment

(1) Identification of Issues

Based on the results of the inspection, the inspectors concluded that, overall, the station was effective in identifying issues at a low threshold and properly entering them into the Corrective Action Program. The inspectors determined that problems were usually

identified and captured in a complete and accurate manner in the Corrective Action

Program. The station was appropriately screening issues from both NRC and industry operating experience at an appropriate level and entering them into the Corrective Action Program when the issues were applicable to the station. The inspectors also noted that deficiencies were identified by external organizations, including the NRC, that had not been previously identified by licensee personnel. These deficiencies were

subsequently entered into the Corrective Action Program for resolution. The inspectors determined that the station was generally effective at trending low level issues to prevent more significant issues from developing. The licensee also used the Corrective Action Program to document instances where previous corrective actions

were ineffective or were inappropriately closed.

The inspectors concluded that power supply-related concerns were identified and

entered into the Corrective Action Program at a low threshold, and concerns were resolved in a timely manner commensurate with their safety significance.

(2) Prioritization and Evaluation of Issues

Based on the results of the inspection, the inspectors concluded that the station was adequately prioritizing and evaluating issues commensurate with the safety significance of the identified issue, which included a consideration of risk.

The inspectors determined that the Condition Report Prescreening meeting, the

Condition Review Group meeting, and the Corrective Action Review Board meeting were

6 all generally thorough and maintained a high standard for evaluation quality. Members of the Condition Review Group discussed selected issues in sufficient detail and

challenged the responsible department representatives regarding their conclusions and recommendations.

The inspectors performed a detailed review of issues related to the Reactor Protection

System and Auxiliary Feedwater Actuation System power supplies over roughly the past 5 years. The inspectors concluded that the evaluation of design issues, along with

failure analyses, provided for a thorough review of potential causes of issues. The corrective actions already implemented to evaluate the extent of condition of an issue and those being completed to revise the design of the power supplies were being

implemented in a timely manner commensurate with the safety significance of the issues. The inspectors noted that the licensee generally exhibited no reluctance in

placing structures, systems, and components into a Maintenance Rule (a)(1) status. Appropriate corrective actions to address identified maintenance deficiencies were prescribed and completed. A detailed review of the structures, systems, and

components performance generally occurred before returning such structures, systems, and components to a Maintenance Rule (a)(2) status. The inspectors determined that the licensee

typically evaluated equipment functionality requirements adequately after a degraded or non-conforming condition was identified.

Overall, appropriate actions were assigned to correct the degraded or non-conforming condition.

Vulnerabilities in Condition Evaluations

The inspectors identified several instances in which the licensee's evaluation lacked

sufficient quality to address the condition such that a technically competent reviewer could understand how the corrective actions would correct the identified condition. This lack of quality could potentially impact the licensee's ability to identify adequate

corrective actions. The inspectors identified the following condition reports as examples where the licensee's evaluation lacked sufficient quality:

  • Foreign Material Intrusion Effectiveness Review

Condition Report CR-PLP-2012-05054, "Root Cause Evaluation Report for Foreign Material Intrusion P-74, SIRWT Recirculation Pump," evaluated a foreign material

intrusion event in July 2012 that affected the Safety Injection Refueling Water Tank

recirculation pump. The effectiveness reviews performed by the licensee did not

establish the proper threshold to identify issues at a level that could be addressed prior to the issue becoming a more significant concern. In the root cause evaluation report, the licensee documented that the foreign material intrusion event was caused

by a failure to follow the foreign material excursion procedure. However, the failure

threshold for the effectiveness review performed was a failure to follow procedures

that resulted in foreign material intrusion. During the effectiveness review, the

licensee identified failures to follow the foreign material excursion procedure. However, the licensee concluded in the effectiveness review that the corrective actions were effective because no foreign material intrusion event actually occurred.

7 The inspectors reasoned that the absence of a foreign material intrusion given a failure to follow the foreign material excursion procedure may have been fortuitous,

rather than deliberate. Subsequently, an actual foreign material intrusion event occurred, which further demonstrated that the corrective actions might not have been effective. Specifically, when installing an inflatable bladder inside the Service Water system, on two occasions these bladders were inadvertently entrained into the return

header of the Service Water system by the relative vacuum created by the system flow. It was determined that this was a result of the failure to establish adequate

controls as required by the foreign material excursion procedure. This issue was documented as a non-cited violation in NRC Inspection Report 05000255/2014002.

  • Vital Area Doors Alarm Evaluation

While reviewing the common cause analysis for Condition Report CR-PLP-2013-

4391, "Trend in Vital Area Doors Found Unsecured," the inspectors identified issues

with the thoroughness of the initial evaluation for the identified trend and the

methodology used for the effectiveness review of the corrective actions implemented. The common cause analysis reviewed 40 instances of unsecured vital

area doors that occurred between January and October 2013. The analysis

identified the departments that were responsible for the doors being found unsecured

and the month the issue occurred. The evaluation identified a lack of use of appropriate human performance tools associated with verifying that security doors were properly latched and closed after use. The corrective actions resulting from this

trend analysis were to reinforce with site personnel and supplemental employees the

proper human performance tools to use when traversing through security doors and

actions to take if a door did not properly close. This common cause analysis did not

evaluate potential mechanical issues with the doors that would not allow them to close properly.

The effectiveness review for this trend reviewed 20 instances of unsecured vital area

doors that occurred between January 15 and March 16, 2014. This review

compared the number of times the door was used to how many times the door was found unsecured. The effectiveness review determined that a low percentage of errors occurred during this timeframe, and therefore the issue was resolved with no

additional actions needed. This was a different methodology with a different

acceptance standard than the initial common cause analysis used since in the

identification of security door violations originally identified, the number of violations

was focused on, and in the follow-up review, the failure rate was focused on. These observations were discussed with the licensee. Subsequent to the effectiveness review, the licensee identified an adverse trend station-wide for the number of

security door violations that occurred and planned to re-evaluate both the human

performance and the mechanical door operation components of this issue and

initiate follow-on corrective actions to address them.

The inspectors concluded that a lack of quality in some evaluations existed and that this

was similar to what was documented in the previous biennial Problem Identification and Resolution inspection.

8 During this inspection, although the inspectors did not identify any findings related to the lack of quality in evaluations, a minor violation related to a Part 21 evaluation is

documented in Section 4OA2.2.b of this report. Therefore, based on the samples reviewed during this inspection, the quality of evaluations, overall, appeared to be improving.

(3) Effectiveness of Corrective Actions

Based on the results of the inspection, the inspectors concluded that the licensee was generally effective in addressing identified issues and that the assigned corrective actions were generally appropriate. The licensee implemented corrective actions in a timely manner, commensurate with their safety significance, including an appropriate

consideration of risk. Problems identified using root or apparent cause methodologies

were resolved in accordance with the Corrective Action Program procedural and

regulatory requirements. Corrective actions designed to prevent recurrence were generally comprehensive, thorough, and timely. The inspectors sampled corrective

action assignments for selected NRC documented violations and determined that

actions assigned were generally effective and timely.

For example, the licensee received a non-cited violation in 2002 for the failure to operate the primary coolant pumps in accordance with their design operating criteria. The inspectors verified that the licensee's evaluations for the issue were comprehensive and

the corrective actions completed and planned were appropriate and timely,

commensurate with their safety significance.

The licensee's pre-inspection review identified several instances where corrective actions were closed inappropriately and that additional actions were needed to complete the closeout of the corrective actions. The inspectors determined these discrepancies

were minor compliance issues with the licensee's Corrective Action Program procedures and the licensee had taken appropriate actions to address these issues.

The inspectors also identified that there were approximately 260 open corrective action items at the time of the inspection. However, only 20 of these open corrective action

items were more than 2 years old. The inspectors reviewed a sample of these corrective

action items and verified that the sampled condition reports were evaluated and actions

assigned appropriately. The inspectors determined that most of the remaining actions

were related to a fire protection license amendment request, which was in the NRC review process. Other corrective actions were related to minor non-conformances or enhancements with low safety significance. For those corrective actions that were

safety significant, the inspectors verified that the due dates were reasonable and the

licensee had appropriate compensatory actions in place.

Through interviews with the licensee staff and a review of the trend of the total outstanding corrective actions over the last 5 years, the inspectors determined that the

licensee had been reducing the corrective action backlog.

c. Findings

No findings were identified.

9 .2 Implementation of Corrective Actions Generated Following NRC Inspection Procedure

(IP) 95002 Supplemental Inspection

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors reviewed the IP 95002 supplemental inspection action items that were implemented since the completion of an IP 95002 supplemental inspection on

November 9, 2012. This supplemental inspection was related to a Yellow finding

documented in NRC Inspection Report 05000255/2011019 and 0500025/2011020.

The Yellow finding was associated with the loss of the Left train of direct current (DC)

power due to the failure to ensure that the work instructions on a safety-related 125-Volt DC distribution panel were adequate for the scheduled work. The results of this

supplemental inspection were documented in NRC Inspection Report 05000255/2012011.

b. Assessment

The inspectors reviewed Condition Report CR-PLP-2011-04822, which was the overarching condition report for the issue that resulted in the Yellow finding, and found

that the associated corrective actions had been planned and implemented. There were

various tasks associated with this condition report that were completed subsequent to

the supplemental inspection. These actions included development and implementation of training to address the deficiencies identified as part of the root cause analysis, as well as actions to review the root cause report and completed corrective actions to

ensure any additional issues and/or concerns identified had already been addressed and

did not invalidate the actions taken. The inspectors reviewed the completed corrective

actions and found them to be adequate.

c. Findings

No findings were identified. .3 Implementation of Corrective Actions Generated Following NRC IP 95001 Supplemental

Inspection

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors reviewed the corrective actions that were implemented and the effectiveness reviews of those corrective actions that had been conducted since the

completion of an IP 95001 supplemental inspection on June 29, 2012. This

supplemental inspection was related to a White finding associated with the Turbine-

Driven Auxiliary Feedwater pump that

was documented in NRC Inspection Report 05000255/2011013 and 05000255/2011017. The results of this supplemental inspection

were documented in NRC Inspection Report 05000255/2012010. b. Assessment

The inspectors reviewed Condition Report CR-PLP-2011-5723 and the associated root cause evaluation report, "Auxiliary Feedwater Pump P-8B Overspeed Trip Actuation," and found that all of the associated corrective actions had been implemented. Two effectiveness reviews had also been completed to evaluate the adequacy of the

10 corrective actions implemented. The first effectiveness review conducted in April 2012 examined the revisions to the maintenance procedure for the Auxiliary Feedwater Pump,

and identified some enhancements to be included in the procedure based on information in the root cause evaluation. The inspectors reviewed the most current revision of this maintenance procedure and found that all of those enhancements had been included in

the document. The second effectiveness review examined maintenance records,

condition reports generated, and operations' logs to determine if any unexpected

Limiting Condition for Operation entries were made, or Limiting Condition for Operation

time was extended, due to maintenance issues related to the Turbine-Driven Auxiliary Feedwater Pump. This review was conducted in April 2014 after the most recent refueling outage (refueling outage maintenance caused the issues the led to the White

finding initially), and concluded that there were no maintenance-induced problems

related to this pump. All corrective actions associated with the aforementioned condition

report and root cause evaluation, and all effectiveness reviews had been completed for this White finding. The inspectors reviewed all of this information and determined that the actions implemented were adequate. c. Findings

No findings were identified. .4 Assessment of the Use of Operating Experience

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors reviewed the licensee's implementation of the facility's Operating Experience Program. Specifically, the inspectors reviewed the Operating Experience Program implementing procedures and licensee evaluations of operating experience issues and events. The inspectors also observed meetings and daily activities for the

use of operating experience information to determine whether the licensee was effectively integrating operating experience into the performance of daily activities, whether evaluations of issues were proper and conducted by qualified personnel,

whether the licensee's Operating Experience Program was sufficient to prevent future

occurrences of previous industry events, and whether the licensee effectively used operating experience information in the planning and performance of departmental assessments and facility audits. The inspectors also assessed if corrective actions, as a result of operating experience, were identified and implemented effectively and in a timely manner. In addition, the inspectors interviewed the Operating Experience Program owner to obtain insights on its use. b. Assessment

Based on the results of the inspection, the inspectors concluded that, overall, operating experience was effectively utilized at the station. The inspectors observed that representatives from different sites held periodic meetings to discuss recently published

operating experience. Issues that were applicable to the Palisades Nuclear Plant were

entered into the Corrective Action Program for resolution. Industry operating experience

was effectively disseminated across plant departments through daily and pre-job briefings.

11 Nonetheless, the inspectors noted the following licensee identified minor violation of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion XVI, "Corrective Action," related to a

10 CFR Part 21 evaluation. Deficiencies in Part 21 Evaluation

On November 8, 2012, Fisher Control International submitted a Part 21 report that

described certain butterfly valve parts that did not receive proper commercial grade

dedication. These parts were considered essential-to-function and were required for the

butterfly valve assembly to perform its safety-related function. Fisher Control International requested the recipients of the Part 21 report to review this information for applicability to their equipment and facilities and take appropriate actions, if required.

The licensee entered this issue in the Corrective Action Program on November 20, 2012.

The licensee contacted Fisher Control International and identified that two installed safety-related Component Cooling Heat Ex

changer temperature control valves were affected. The licensee concluded that the valves would perform their design function,

but did not clearly document the basis of that conclusion. In addition, Fisher Control

International also communicated to the licensee that they had identified and notified the

licensee of other components that might not have been commercially dedicated properly due to an ambiguity in the purchase orders. However, the licensee did not research this matter any further. In May 2013 during an audit, Nuclear Oversight identified that the Part 21 evaluation was inadequate to support the conclusion that it was acceptable to use the butterfly valve as-

is and did not address all the issues communicated by Fisher Control International.

Subsequently, an operability evaluation was performed, which concluded that all of the equipment impacted remained operable, but were non-conforming. The inspectors determined that this was a licensee-identified minor violation of 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criteria XVI, "Corrective Action." This failure to comply with the

Appendix B requirement constituted a minor violation that is not subject to enforcement

action in accordance with the NRC's Enforcement Policy. A replacement of the affected equipment was scheduled for the next refueling outage. c. Findings

No findings were identified. .5 Assessment of Self-Assessments and Audits

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors reviewed selected self-assessments, bench markings, "Snap-shot" self-assessments, and Nuclear Oversight audits, as well as the schedule of past and future assessments. The inspectors evaluated whether these audits and self-assessments

were effectively managed, adequately covered the subject areas, and properly captured

identified issues in the Corrective Action Program. In addition, the inspectors

interviewed licensee personnel regarding the implementation of the audit and self-assessment programs.

12 b. Assessment

Based on the results of the inspection, the inspectors concluded that self-assessments and audits were typically accurate, thorough, and effective at identifying issues and enhancement opportunities at an appropriate threshold. The inspectors concluded that these audits and self-assessments were completed by personnel knowledgeable in the

subject area. In many cases, these self-assessments and audits had identified

numerous issues that were not previously recognized by the station. These issues were

entered into condition reports as required by Corrective Action Program procedures. c. Findings

No findings were identified. .6 Assessment of Safety Conscious Work Environment

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors interviewed 19 Palisades Nuclear Plant personnel to determine if there were any indications that licensee personnel were reluctant to raise safety concerns to either their management or the NRC due to fear of retaliation. These individuals represented various departments onsite including Engineering, Maintenance,

Operations, Radiation Protection, and Security. The inspectors also assessed the

licensee's safety conscious work environment through a review of Employee Concerns Program implementing procedures, discussions with the Employee Concerns Program Manager, and reviews of condition reports. The inspectors reviewed selected Employee Concerns Program activities to identify any emergent issues or potential trends. The

licensee's actions to publicize the Corrective Action Program and Employee Concerns

Program were also reviewed. The review was performed to ensure there was a free flow

of information and to determine if individuals were willing to raise nuclear safety

concerns without fear of retaliation. b. Assessment

As discussed in NRC Inspection Report 05000255/2014009, dated March 6, 2014, the NRC performed a limited scope Problem Identification and Resolution inspection that

focused on an assessment of the safety conscious work environment in the Chemistry Department, Security Department, and Mechanical Maintenance working group. This

inspection was performed as a result of the NRC's receipt of several safety conscious

work environment or safety culture-related concerns that prompted questions into the progress made in implementing the licensee's Recovery Plan regarding safety culture deficiencies that, in part, contributed to two Greater-than-Green findings identified in

2011.

The NRC identified a chilled work environment in the Security Department as documented in NRC Inspection Report 05000255/2014009. The licensee implemented

a number of corrective actions to address the chilled environment in the Security Department.

13 During this inspection, the inspectors determined that the safety conscious work environment and overall performance related to

identifying, evaluating, and resolving problems was acceptable for the site in general. However, the assessment below was not characteristic of the safety conscious work environment in the Security Department. A detailed review of the licensee's Security SCWE Action Plan is discussed in

Section 4OA5.2 of this report.

With the exception of the Security Department, the inspectors did not identify any issues that suggested conditions were not conducive to the establishment and existence of a safety conscious work environment at Palisades Nuclear Plant. Licensee staff was aware of and familiar with the Corrective Action Program and other station processes,

including the Employee Concerns Program, through which concerns could be raised.

The inspectors did not review the site Safety Culture and SCWE surveys and assessments during this inspection because these documents were recently reviewed as part of the limited scope Problem Identification and Resolution inspection and the

conclusions from that inspection remained valid. The results indicated that there were

no impediments to the identification of nuclear safety issues.

The staff also indicated that management had been focused on promoting an environment that encourages raising issues and concerns without fear of retaliation.

The formal policy was communicated at all hands meetings, shift turnover meetings, and

through other communication venues, such as newsletters and emails. Department

managers and supervisors promoted a safe

ty conscious work environment and

reinforced senior management's policy.

Individuals were comfortable raising issues and concerns without fear of retaliation.

Overall, they felt that condition reports were given the appropriate priority and actions

taken to close condition reports were effective in addressing the identified issues.

c. Findings

No findings were identified.

4OA5 Other Activities

.1 Confirmatory Action Letter (CAL) - Palisades Nuclear Plant Commitments to Address

SIRWT and Control Room Concrete Support Structure Leakage

As documented in NRC Letter EA-12-155, "Confirmatory Action Letter (CAL) Revision 1 - Palisades Nuclear Plant Commitments to Address Safety Injection Refueling Water

Tank (SIRWT) and Control Room Concrete Support Structure Leakage," (ADAMS

ML13177A280) the NRC concluded that the structural integrity of the Safety Injection Refueling Water Tank was sufficient to meet its intended safety function, which addressed three of the five CAL items. The remaining two CAL items associated with

the control room support structure were as follows:

1. Entergy Nuclear Operations, Inc., (ENO) will continue inspections of the concrete support structure above the control room, control room hallway, and the concrete support structure ceiling as prescribed in the approved Operations Standing Order. These inspections are to ensure that the

14 temporary modifications installed to prevent impact to safety-related structures, systems and components are performing their intended functions.

2. ENO will correct the adverse condition related to cracking of the concrete support structure around the ceiling of the control room, which could lead to

water intrusion, prior to restart from the next refueling outage.

To address these items, the licensee performed a modification in the catacombs area

above the control room. This modification included the installation of a waterproof membrane and a design feature to divert water away from the control room, in the event of a leak into the catacombs area. The licensee also performed inspections of the areas

where SIRWT leakage could occur, including the catacombs area, until all modification

activities were complete.

The inspectors performed a review of the engineering change package that documented the details of the modification and the analyses performed to determine acceptability.

The inspectors ensured that the licensee addressed the capability of this system as well

as other impacts that the addition of the waterproof membrane could have on other

equipment. The inspectors also performed a walkdown of the areas below the catacombs to ensure a water intrusion scenario would not impact other safety-related equipment. The inspectors reviewed the logs that described the licensee's inspections

that were performed to ensure these inspections were adequate to identify any water

intrusion and were performed in accordance with the CAL commitment.

Based on the information reviewed during this inspection, the inspectors concluded that the control room structure continues to perform its intended safety function, and the installed modifications, if maintained, are adequate to prevent water intrusion into the

control room. Therefore, the inspectors determined that the licensee had fulfilled its

commitments to address the Safety Injection Refueling Water Tank and control room

concrete support structure leakage.

Separate correspondence will be issued to formally close Confirmatory Action

Letter EA-12-155.

.2 Security Safety Conscious Work Environment Action Plan

The inspectors performed an independent evaluation of the site's implementation of the Security Safety Conscious Work Environment (SCWE) Action Plan. The plan was

developed by the site and was being implemented in response to the NRC's identification of a chilled work environment within the Security Department during the December 2013 limited scope Problem Identif

ication and Resolution inspection, which

was documented in NRC Inspection Report 05000255/2014009 (ADAMS ML14064A569). The inspectors performed an independent review of the licensee's implementation of the Security SCWE Action Plan. The inspection included a review of

the licensee's implementation and completion of SCWE Action Plan actions; two focus

group meetings with 19 non-supervisory level security officers; and interviews with the

Regulatory and Performance Improvement Director, Security Manager, and the

Employee Concerns Program Manager.

15 Specific observations included the following:

  • Security officers had a limited recollection of discussing the results of the NRC's limited scope Problem Identification and Resolution inspection that was completed in February 2014. Security officers recalled being told that the NRC stated there "appears to be a potential chilled work environment in Security."

The security officers stated that they believed the site did not feel there was a

chilled work environment, but was only taking actions in response to the NRC's conclusions. During an interview with the Security Manager, additional details on the dissemination of the inspection results were obtained. Specifically, security officers were provided the inspection report as an email attachment in advance of the Security Manager meeting with each of the security shifts. At the meetings,

hard copies of the report were available for the security officers to reference and

retain, as desired. The Security Manager acknowledged discussing the NRC's

conclusions, but validated the fact that security officers were told the NRC stated there "appears to be a potential chilled work environment in Security."

  • Security officers stated they were never informed of the site's development and implementation of a Security SCWE Action Plan and were unaware of the specific actions required by the existing plan.
  • Security officers perceived site management to be simply "putting checks in the block" to credit completion of action items and were not committed to changing

the existing safety conscious work environment issues in the Security Department.

  • Security officers identified a lack of interaction with supervisory and management personnel above the Security Shift Supervisor level within the Security

Department and site senior management per

sonnel external to the Security Department. Security officers did acknowledge an increase in the attendance of Security Operations Superintendents at shift turnover meetings.

  • Security officers were unaware of the establishment of the site's Security Ombudsman Program and the intent of the program. Additionally, the security

officers were unaware of who the security ombudsman was for their respective shift despite the selection and assignment of staff to these positions at the end of

March 2014.

  • Security officers were not aware of a change in the site security chain of command. Specifically, the fact that the Palisades Security Manager no longer reported to the Entergy Corporate Security Director, but reported to the Site Vice President through the Regulatory and Performance Improvement Director was

not communicated. In addition, security officers were not introduced to the

Regulatory and Performance Improvement Director.

  • Since November 2013, the site's Aggregate Performance Review rated the Security Department as Green in the area of Nuclear Safety. At an Aggregate Performance Review Meeting conducted on May 19, 2014, this rating was

challenged by a manager outside the Security Department and, as a result of this

16 challenge, the participants agreed the Security Department should be rated Red in this area due to the chilled work environment identified in the department.

Since November 2013, the Security Department had been rating this area as Green in the Department Performance Review and this rating was unchallenged by senior management until the May 2014 Aggregate Performance Review

Meeting.

The inspectors concluded that, to date, the site had completed all the actions as

committed to in the Security SCWE Action Plan. However, the inspectors concluded that the quality of the actions implemented have been insufficient to assess and understand the cause of the chilled work environment within the Security Department

and did not demonstrate a strong commitment to effectively improve the safety

conscious work environment in the Security Department. Specifically, significant gaps were found to exist in the security officers' knowledge of the actions being taken to address the chilled safety conscious work environment and management's commitment to improving the overall safety conscious work environment.
