A self-revealing, non-cited violation was identified for the failure to comply with Technical Specification 6.8.1 to adequately implement a main steam operating procedure during manipulation of the 'C' main steam isolation valve (MSIV) resulting in excessive steam generator line differential pressure and subsequent safety injection. The issue was entered into the licensee's corrective action program as condition report CR-11-03001. The failure to implement a procedure for manipulation of the 'C' MSIV was a performance deficiency (PD). The PD was more than minor and therefore a finding because it impacted the initiating events cornerstone objective to limit the likelihood of those events that upset plant stability and challenge critical safety functions during shutdown and the related attribute of human performance because the licensee failed to properly implement a procedure controlling the manipulation of a MSIV. In accordance with Inspector Manual Chapter 0609, "Significant Determination Process," the inspectors performed a Phase 1 analysis and determined the finding was of very low safety significance or Green because the finding did not contribute to both the likelihood of both a reactor trip and the unavailability of mitigation equipment and associated functions. This finding involved the cross-cutting area of human performance, the component of the resources, and the aspect of procedure use and adherence, H.4(b), because the licensee failed to adequately follow procedures.

ALARA Program Status  The inspectors reviewed and discussed plant exposure history and current trends including the site's three-year rolling average (TYRA) collective exposure history for calendar year (CY) 2007 through CY 2009. Current and proposed activities to manage site collective exposure and trends regarding collective exposure were evaluated through review of previous TYRA collective exposure data and review of the licensee's 5-year ALARA program implementing plan. Current ALARA program guidance and recent changes, as applicable, regarding estimating and tracking exposure were discussed and evaluated. Radiological Work Planning  The inspectors reviewed planned work activities and their collective exposure estimates for U1RFO19 (Unit 1 Refueling Outage 19) work activities and the subsequent actual exposures. For the selected tasks, the inspectors reviewed dose mitigation actions and the established dose goals. During the inspection, use of remote technologies, including teledosimetry and remote visual monitoring, were verified as specified in RWP or procedural guidance. Collective dose data for selected tasks were compared with estimates and, where applicable, changes to established estimates were discussed with responsible licensee ALARA planning representatives. The inspectors reviewed previous post-job reviews conducted for the cycle 18 and 19 refueling outages and verified that the items were entered into the licensee's CAP for evaluation. The licensee's use of a reference outage for estimating plant exposures and decreasing or increasing the plants dose goals based on trend point survey data was reviewed.

Engineering Controls  The inspectors reviewed the use of temporary and permanent engineering controls to mitigate airborne radioactivity inside the auxiliary building and radioactive waste processing building. The inspectors reviewed and discussed the use of negative pressure units (NPUs) and vacuums to control contamination, observed physical controls in place to prevent unauthorized use of NPUs and vacuums, and reviewed NPU testing records. The inspectors also reviewed ventilation flow, charcoal, and High Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) filter test records for the Control Room Emergency Filter and Reactor Building Ventilation Systems. The inspectors evaluated the effectiveness of continuous air monitors and air samplers placed in work area "breathing zones" to provide indication of increasing airborne levels. In addition, plant guidance and its implementation for the monitoring of potential airborne beta-gamma and alpha-emitting radionuclides were reviewed and discussed with licensee representatives. Respiratory Protection Equipment  The inspectors reviewed the use of respiratory protection devices to limit the intake of radioactive material. This included review of program guidance for issuance and use of respiratory protection devices, discussion with responsible licensee representatives, and review of devices used for routine tasks and devices stored for use in emergency situations. Selected whole-body count (WBC) routine and investigative analysis results for occupational workers were reviewed and discussed.

The inspectors determined that the failure to implement a procedure for manipulation of the 'C' MSIV was a performance deficiency (PD). The PD was more than minor and therefore a finding because it impacted the initiating events cornerstone objective to limit the likelihood of those events that upset plant stability and challenge critical safety functions during shutdown and the related attribute of human performance because the licensee failed to properly implement a procedure controlling the manipulation of a MSIV. In accordance with Inspector Manual Chapter (IMC) 0609, "Significant Determination Process," the inspectors performed a Phase 1 analysis and determined the finding was of very low safety significance or Green because the finding did not contribute to both the likelihood of both a reactor trip and the unavailability of mitigation equipment and associated functions. This finding involved the cross-cutting area of human performance, the component of the resources, and the aspect of procedure use and adherence, H.4(b), because the licensee failed to adequately follow procedure SOP-102 for the manipulation of  the 'C' MSIV.

On July 8, 2011, the licensee submitted a non-emergency report (Event Number 47039) to the NRC in accordance with 10 CFR Part 50.72(b)(2)(xi) due to offsite notification of other government agencies regarding an onsite spill of radioactive material. The voluntary notification was made to state and local officials for an on-site leak that may exceed 100 gallons, in accordance with the industry's Groundwater Protection Initiative (NEI 07-07). The report described the July 7, 2011, discovery of a leak in the liquid radwaste discharge line connecting the liquid waste processing system to the discharge point at the Fairfield Pump Storage Facility. Water from the leak in the discharge line collected on the top of the concrete structure of the Fairfield Pump Storage Facility before traveling to the surrounding soil. Analysis of samples of the water identified a Tritium concentration of 2.3 x 104 pCi/L, which is in excess of the NEI 07-07 voluntary reporting level of 2.0 x 104 pCi/L, but significantly below NRC and Federal regulatory limits established to prevent adverse affects on the health and safety of the public and the environment.

The licensee has taken corrective actions which included draining the liquid from the enclosure for return to the plant for disposal, repair of the liquid radwaste line leak, remediation of the soil around the leak location, entering the event into the decommissioning file as required by 10 CFR Part 50.75(g), and submitting a 30-Day Special Report to the NRC (ML11216A230) per the NEI 07-07 guidance. The licensee has documented the event in their corrective action program (CR-11-03667) and is in the process of evaluating the event to determine the root cause and corrective actions to prevent recurrence. The inspectors reviewed the details surrounding the event and discussed the issue with licensee staff. The inspectors noted that the leak was contained within the owner controlled area and was not expected to migrate to the offsite environs. The NRC has designated groundwater contamination as an "issue of agency-wide concern" and has implemented requirements to document the review of voluntary reports concerning spills and leaks.

The following violation of very low safety significance (Green) was identified by the licensee and is a violation of NRC requirements which meets the criteria of Section 2.3.2 of the NRC Enforcement Policy, for being dispositioned as an NCV.
* License Condition 2.C.(18), "Fire Protection System," of the Virgil C. Summer Operating License NPF-12 requires, in part, that the licensee implement and maintain in effect all provisions of the approved fire protection program as described in the FSAR, and as approved in applicable Safety Evaluation Reports related to the fire protection program. FSAR Section 9.5.1 states in part, that the provisions of 10 CFR 50, Appendix R, Sections III.G, III.J, III.O, and III.L apply to the fire protection program requirements, as well as the Virgil C. Summer Fire Protection Evaluation Report (FPER), which is considered a part of the FSAR. The FSAR and FPER require Virgil C. Summer to comply with Appendix A to  BTP APCSB 9.5-1, "Guidelines for Fire Protection for Nuclear Power Plants Docketed Prior to July 1, 1976," to satisfy the fire protection requirements of 10 CFR 50.48. Appendix A to BTP APCSB 9.5-1, Position C.5, "Test and Test Control," requires in part, that a test program be established and implemented to assure that testing is performed and verified by inspection to demonstrate conformance with the design and system readiness requirements. Contrary to these requirements, the licensee failed to implement and maintain in effect all provisions of the approved fire protection program as described in the FSAR for the facility, in that, the Appendix R fire switch test program did not adequately verify that the switches were capable of performing their required isolation function. This finding has been entered into the licensee's corrective action program as condition report CR-10-01814. The finding affected safe shutdown and was judged to represent moderate degradation. Because the finding involved main control room (MCR) fire scenarios and scenarios in multiple fire areas, a phase 3 SDP analysis was performed by a regional senior reactor analyst. The finding was determined to have existed since 1983 when a modification temporarily installed the jumper wire; therefore a one year exposure period was utilized for the analysis. Only fires which could lead to MCR abandonment requiring use of the 'B' EDG isolation switch and which also would damage the 'B' EDG output breaker control circuit would contribute to the risk of the performance deficiency. Only fire scenarios in the MCR (within the main control board (MCB)) and in the cable spreading room which impacted the cable tray and main termination cabinet associated with the 'B' EDG represented credible fire scenarios which could lead to risk from the PD. Factors which mitigated the risk from the PD included:  the few credible fire ignition sources, use of thermoset cables, the low cable loading in the specific MCB section housing the EDG and offsite power circuit breaker control switches, detection in the main termination cabinet, and the proceduralized actions for local operation of the 'B' EDG breaker. The dominant sequence was a fire in either the MCR or cable spreading room damaging the EDG and offsite power breaker controls requiring MCR abandonment coupled with failure of the 'B' EDG breaker to operate due to the PD and failure of the operator to locally close the 'B' EDG breaker resulting in core damage from inadequate core cooling. The SDP phase 3 evaluation determined that the risk of the finding was an increase in core damage frequency of <1E-6/year, a Green finding of low safety significance.

Mr. Thomas Vice President - Nuclear Operations South Carolina Electric & Gas Company Virgil C. Summer Nuclear Station P.O. Box 88 Jenkinsville, SC 29065

SUBJECT: VIRGIL C. SUMMER NUCLEAR STATION - NRC INTEGRATED INSPECTION REPORT 05000395/2011004

Dear Mr. Gatlin:

On September 30, 2011, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed an inspection at your Virgil C. Summer Nuclear Station. The enclosed inspection report documents the inspection results, which were discussed on October 24, 2011, with you and other members of your staff.

The inspection examined activities conducted under your license as they relate to safety and compliance with the Commission's rules and regulations and with the conditions of your license. The inspectors reviewed selected procedures and records, observed activities, and interviewed personnel.

This report documents one self-revealing finding of very low safety significance (Green) which was determined to be a violation of NRC requirements. However, because of the very low safety significance and because it was entered into your corrective action program, the NRC is treating this finding as a non-cited violation (NCV) consistent with Section 2.3.2.a of the NRC's Enforcement Policy. If you contest any NCV, you should provide a response within 30 days of the date of this inspection report, with the basis for your denial, to the United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission, ATTN: Document Control Desk, Washington DC 20555-0001, with copies to the Regional Administrator, Region II; the Director, Office of Enforcement, United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555-0001; and the NRC Resident Inspector at the Virgil C. Summer Nuclear Station.

Additionally, if you disagree with the characterization of any finding in this report, you should provide a response within 30 days of the date of this inspection report, with the basis for your disagreement, to the Regional Administrator, Region II, and the NRC Resident Inspector at the Virgil C. Summer Nuclear Station.

SCE&G 2 In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 of the NRC's "Rules of Practice," a copy of this letter, its enclosure, and your response (if any) will be available electronically for public inspection in the NRC Public Document Room or from the Publicly Available Records (PARS) component of NRC's document system (ADAMS). ADAMS is accessible from the NRC Website at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html (the Public Electronic Reading Room).

SUMMARY OF FINDINGS

IR 05000395/2011004; 07/01/2011 - 09/30/2011: Virgil C. Summer Nuclear Station; Routine Integrated Inspection Report. Event Followup.

The report covered a 3 month period of inspection by resident inspectors and reactor inspectors from the region

. One finding was identified and was determined to be a non-cited violation (NCV). The significance of most findings is indicated by their color (Green, White, Yellow, Red) using Inspection Manual Chapter (IMC) 0609, "Significance Determination Process" (SDP). The cross-cutting aspect was determined using IMC 0310, "Components Within the Cross Cutting Areas." Findings for which the SDP does not apply may be Green or be assigned a severity level after NRC management review. The NRC's program for overseeing the safe operation of commercial nuclear power reactors is described in NUREG-1649, "Reactor Oversight Process" Revision 4, dated December 2006.

A. NRC-Identified and Self-Revealing Findings

Cornerstone: Mitigating System

Green.

A self-revealing, non-cited violation was identified for the failure to comply with Technical Specification 6.8.1 to adequately implement a main steam operating procedure during manipulation of the 'C' main steam isolation valve (MSIV) resulting in excessive steam generator line differential pressure and subsequent safety injection. The issue was entered into the licensee's corrective action program as condition report CR-11-03001.

The failure to implement a procedure for manipulation of the 'C' MSIV was a performance deficiency (PD). The PD was more than minor and therefore a finding because it impacted the initiating events cornerstone objective to limit the likelihood of those events that upset plant stability and challenge critical safety functions during shutdown and the related attribute of human performance because the licensee failed to properly implement a procedure controlling the manipulation of a MSIV. In accordance with Inspector Manual Chapter 0609, "Significant Determination Process," the inspectors performed a Phase 1 analysis and determined the finding was of very low safety significance or Green because the finding did not contribute to both the likelihood of both a reactor trip and the unavailability of mitigation equipment and associated functions. This finding involved the cross-cutting area of human performance, the component of the resources, and the aspect of procedure use and adherence, H.4(b), because the licensee failed to adequately follow procedures.

4OA3 Event Followup

.1 (Closed) LER 05000395/2011-003-00:

Inadvertent Safety Injection During Reactor Startup Due to Excessive Differential Steam Line Pressure and URI 2011003-04: Inadvertent Safety Injection in Mode 3 Due to Opening 'C' Main Steam Isolation Valve

a. Inspection Scope

On May 27, 2011, during a refueling outage Unit 1 was in Mode 3 with the reactor coolant system (RCS) at normal temperature and pressure when a control room operator was requested to open the 'C' main steam isolation valve (MSIV).

Subsequently, the 'C' steam generator (SG) line pressure reduced to greater than 97 psig as compared to the 'A' and 'B' SG line pressures causing a dual train safety injection. The licensee entered this problem into their CAP as CR-11-03001; the NRC opened a related unresolved item (URI) in NRC integrated report 05000395/2011003.

The enforcement aspects are discussed below. This LER and the related URI are closed.

b. Findings

Introduction:

A self-revealing, non-cited violation was identified for the failure to comply with Technical Specification 6.8.1 to adequately implement a main steam (MS) operating procedure during the manipulation of the 'C' MSIV resulting in excessive steam line differential pressure and subsequent safety injection.

Description:

On May 27, 2011, during a refueling outage Unit 1 was in Mode 3 with the RCS at normal temperature and pressure. Additionally, the licensee had performed stroke time testing of the MSIVs in which 'C' MSIV did not pass. The operators left the MSIV's closed and additionally, closed the MSIV bypass valves to maintain RCS normal operating temperature and pressure. During this time the MS header pressure decreased and was not maintained close to the individual SG line pressures. Later in the shift a control room operator, who had briefly relieved the normal control room operator, was requested to open the 'C' MSIV for troubleshooting. Subsequently, the 'C' SG line pressure reduced to greater than 97 psig as compared to the 'A' and 'B' SG line pressures causing a dual train safety injection. The licensee entered this problem into their CAP as CR-11-03001, and the inspectors completed a review of the associated root cause evaluation (RCE). The inspectors noted that the RCE identified the root cause as the failure to implement or utilize a procedure during manipulation of the 'C' MSIV. The inspectors reviewed the licensee's system operating procedure, SOP-102, "Main Steam System," and noted that step 2.15 of Section II, required that MS header pressure is within 25 psig of individual SG header pressures before opening the MSIVs in step 2.17. The inspectors also noted that TS 6.8.1 requires the implementation of procedures as recommended by Regulatory Guide 1.33, Revision 2, of which section 3.i addresses the main steam system. The inspectors concluded the licensee failed to comply with the requirement to adequately implement the respective procedure, SOP-102.

Analysis:

The inspectors determined that the failure to implement a procedure for manipulation of the 'C' MSIV was a performance deficiency (PD). The PD was more than minor and therefore a finding because it impacted the initiating events cornerstone objective to limit the likelihood of those events that upset plant stability and challenge critical safety functions during shutdown and the related attribute of human performance because the licensee failed to properly implement a procedure controlling the manipulation of a MSIV. In accordance with Inspector Manual Chapter (IMC) 0609, "Significant Determination Process," the inspectors performed a Phase 1 analysis and determined the finding was of very low safety significance or Green because the finding did not contribute to both the likelihood of both a reactor trip and the unavailability of mitigation equipment and associated functions. This finding involved the cross-cutting area of human performance, the component of the resources, and the aspect of procedure use and adherence, H.4(b), because the licensee failed to adequately follow procedure SOP-102 for the manipulation of the 'C' MSIV.

Enforcement:

TS 6.8.1, "Procedures and Programs," requires in part that written procedures be implemented covering the activities recommended in Appendix A of Regulatory Guide 1.33, Revision 2, section 3.i, "Main Steam System." Contrary to the above, on May 27, 2011, the licensee failed to adequately implement procedure SOP-102 while opening the 'C' MSIV which resulted in a SG line differential pressure and subsequent safety injection. Because this finding is of very low safety significance and has been entered into the licensee's corrective action program as condition report CR-11-03001, this violation is being treated as a non-cited violation, consistent with Section 2.3.2 of the NRC Enforcement Policy: NCV 05000395/2011004-01, Failure to Implement a Procedure for Manipulation of the 'C' Main Steam Isolation Valve.

.2 On-Site Liquid Effluent Line Leak

a. Inspection Scope

On July 8, 2011, the licensee submitted a non-emergency report (Event Number 47039) to the NRC in accordance with 10 CFR Part 50.72(b)(2)(xi) due to offsite notification of other government agencies regarding an onsite spill of radioactive material. The voluntary notification was made to state and local officials for an on-site leak that may exceed 100 gallons, in accordance with the industry's Groundwater Protection Initiative (NEI 07-07). The report described the July 7, 2011, discovery of a leak in the liquid radwaste discharge line connecting the liquid waste processing system to the discharge point at the Fairfield Pump Storage Facility. Water from the leak in the discharge line collected on the top of the concrete structure of the Fairfield Pump Storage Facility before traveling to the surrounding soil. Analysis of samples of the water identified a Tritium concentration of 2.3 x 10 4 pCi/L, which is in excess of the NEI 07-07 voluntary reporting level of 2.0 x 10 4 pCi/L, but significantly below NRC and Federal regulatory limits established to prevent adverse affects on the health and safety of the public and the environment.

The licensee has taken corrective actions which included draining the liquid from the enclosure for return to the plant for disposal, repair of the liquid radwaste line leak, remediation of the soil around the leak location, entering the event into the decommissioning file as required by 10 CFR Part 50.75(g), and submitting a 30-Day Special Report to the NRC (ML11216A230) per the NEI 07-07 guidance. The licensee has documented the event in their corrective action program (CR-11-03667) and is in the process of evaluating the event to determine the root cause and corrective actions to prevent recurrence. The inspectors reviewed the details surrounding the event and discussed the issue with licensee staff. The inspectors noted that the leak was contained within the owner controlled area and was not expected to migrate to the offsite environs. The NRC has designated groundwater contamination as an "issue of agency-wide concern" and has implemented requirements to document the review of voluntary reports concerning spills and leaks.

b. Findings

No findings were identified.

4OA5 Other Activities

.1 Quarterly Resident Inspector Observations of Security Personnel and Activities

a. Inspection Scope

During the inspection period, the inspectors conducted observations of security force personnel and activities to ensure that the activities were consistent with licensee security procedures and regulatory requirements relating to nuclear plant security. These observations took place during both normal and off-normal plant working hours.

These quarterly resident inspector observations of security force personnel and activities did not constitute any additional inspection samples. Rather, they were considered an integral part of the inspectors' normal plant status review and inspection activities.

b. Findings

No findings were identified.

.2 (Closed) VIO 05000395/2010004-01, Failure to Notify the Commission of a Change in

Medical Status

This violation identified that from September 9, 2009, to August 26, 2010, the facility licensee failed to notify the Commission within 30 days of learning of the diagnosis that a licensed operator had developed a permanent physical or medical condition, as required. Specifically, the licensed operator was placed in a "no solo" status by the facility licensee's medical review officer due to a permanent change in the individual's medical condition without notifying the Commission. This violation was entered into the facility licensee corrective action program as CR-10-00348. The licensee formally responded to the violation in a letter from Mr. T. Gatlin to the NRC dated 11/22/2010. The facility licensee has implemented corrective actions including hiring a full-time medical coordinator, revising licensee procedures associated with licensed operator medical conditions, and conducting an audit of all licensed operator medical records to determine the extent of condition.

The inspectors reviewed the licensee's actions associated with this violation. The inspectors determined that the programmatic improvements should prove effective in preventing a recurrence of this issue. The inspectors also conducted an independent review of a random sample of licensed operator medical records and verified that improvements in the quality of licensed operator medical records were noted. Additional inspection activity associated with this violation was documented in Integrated Inspection Report 050000395/2011002 (Section 4OA2.2). This violation is closed.

.3 (Closed) AV 2011003-03, Failure to Conduct Adequate Testing of Appendix R Fire Switches

The inspectors issued apparent violation (AV) 2011003-03, Failure to Conduct Adequate Testing of Appendix R Fire Switches, in NRC integrated inspection report 05000395/2011003 pending completion of a risk review by NRC regional senior reactor analysts. This review was completed, and the enforcement aspects are discussed in section

4OA7 of this report.

4OA6 Meetings, Including Exit

On October 24, 2011, the resident inspectors presented the integrated inspection results to Mr. T. Gatlin and other members of the licensee staff. The licensee acknowledged the results of these inspections. The inspectors confirmed that inspection activities discussed in this report did not contain proprietary material.

4OA7 Licensee-Identified Violations

The following violation of very low safety significance (Green) was identified by the licensee and is a violation of NRC requirements which meets the criteria of Section 2.3.2 of the NRC Enforcement Policy, for being dispositioned as an NCV.

  • License Condition 2.C.(18), "Fire Protection System," of the Virgil C. Summer Operating License NPF-12 requires, in part, that the licensee implement and maintain in effect all provisions of the approved fire protection program as described in the FSAR, and as approved in applicable Safety Evaluation Reports related to the fire protection program. FSAR Section 9.5.1 states in part, that the provisions of 10 CFR 50, Appendix R, Sections III.G, III.J, III.O, and III.L apply to the fire protection program requirements, as well as the Virgil C. Summer Fire Protection Evaluation Report (FPER), which is considered a part of the FSAR. The FSAR and FPER require Virgil C. Summer to comply with Appendix A to BTP APCSB 9.5-1, "Guidelines for Fire Protection for Nuclear Power Plants Docketed Prior to July 1, 1976," to satisfy the fire protection requirements of 10 CFR 50.48. Appendix A to BTP APCSB 9.5-1, Position C.5, "Test and Test Control," requires in part, that a test program be established and implemented to assure that testing is performed and verified by inspection to demonstrate conformance with the design and system readiness requirements. Contrary to these requirements, the licensee failed to implement and maintain in effect all provisions of the approved fire protection program as described in the FSAR for the facility, in that, the Appendix R fire switch test program did not adequately verify that the switches were capable of performing their required isolation function. This finding has been entered into the licensee's corrective action program as condition report CR-10-01814.

The finding affected safe shutdown and was judged to represent moderate degradation. Because the finding involved main control room (MCR) fire scenarios and scenarios in multiple fire areas, a phase 3 SDP analysis was performed by a regional senior reactor analyst. The finding was determined to have existed since 1983 when a modification temporarily installed the jumper wire; therefore a one year exposure period was utilized for the analysis. Only fires which could lead to MCR abandonment requiring use of the 'B' EDG isolation switch and which also would damage the 'B' EDG output breaker control circuit would contribute to the risk of the performance deficiency. Only fire scenarios in the MCR (within the main control board (MCB)) and in the cable spreading room which impacted the cable tray and main termination cabinet associated with the 'B' EDG represented credible fire scenarios which could lead to risk from the PD. Factors which mitigated the risk from the PD included: the few credible fire ignition sources, use of thermoset cables, the low cable loading in the specific MCB section housing the EDG and offsite power circuit breaker control switches, detection in the main termination cabinet, and the proceduralized actions for local operation of the 'B' EDG breaker. The dominant sequence was a fire in either the MCR or cable spreading room damaging the EDG and offsite power breaker controls requiring MCR abandonment coupled with failure of the 'B' EDG breaker to operate due to the PD and failure of the operator to locally close the 'B' EDG breaker resulting in core damage from inadequate core cooling. The SDP phase 3 evaluation determined that the risk of the finding was an increase in core damage frequency of <1E-6/year, a Green finding of low safety significance.
