SUBJECT: V.C. SUMMER NUCLEAR STATION - NRC COMPONENT DESIGN BASES INSPECTION REPORT 05000395/2008007
==Dear Mr. Archie:==
On September 12, 2008, the U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed an inspection at your Virgil C. Summer Nuclear Station. The enclosed inspection report documents the inspection findings which were discussed on September 12, 2008, October 23, 2008, and on December 10, 2008, 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.


==Dear Mr. Archie:==
Based on the results of this inspection, the inspectors identified four findings of very low safety significance (Green). Three of these findings were determined to involve violations of NRC requirements. However, because of their very low safety significance and because they are entered into your corrective action program, the NRC is treating the three findings determined to be violations of NRC requirements as Non-Cited Violations (NCVs) consistent with Section VI.A.1 of the NRC's Enforcement Policy. If you contest any of these NCVs you should provide a response within 30 days of the date of this inspection report, with the bases 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, U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555-0001; and the NRC Resident Inspector at VC Summer Nuclear Station.

The inspectors identified a NCV of 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion III, Design Control. Specifically, the licensee failed to verify the adequacy of the degraded voltage relay voltage setpoints by performing motor starting analyses based on voltage afforded by the relays. The failure resulted in several safety related motors having less margin than originally calculated. The licensee assessed the calculations to ensure the motors would start and entered the issue into their corrective action program to address this concern. This finding is more than minor because it affects the Mitigating Systems Cornerstone objective of ensuring the availability, reliability, and operability of the safety related motors to perform their intended safety function during a design basis event and the cornerstone attribute of Design Control, i.e. initial design. The inspectors determined that the finding was of very low safety significance because the deficiency did not result in any motor being inoperable, after additional licensee analysis showed that the motors would have adequate voltage to start based on actual field setpoints. This finding was reviewed for cross-cutting aspects and none were identified since the performance deficiency is not indicative of current licensee performance. (Section 1R21.2.2)

The inspectors identified a NCV of VCS TS 3.8.1.1.b.4 caused by the failure to conduct proper post modification testing after implementation of modification ECR-50555. This testing failed to identify that the voltage regulator settings and the reverse power relay portion of the modification were improperly implemented. Further, it impacted the reliability and availability of the Parr alternate AC supply to VCS's safety buses. The licensee initiated procedures for setting the voltage regulators and bypassed the reverse power relay. These issues were entered into the corrective action program. LER 05000395/2008004 was also submitted on October 10, 2008 by the licensee associated with the TS violation.

Enclosure  This finding is more than minor because exceeding a Technical Specification  Limiting Condition of Operation affects the Mitigating Systems Cornerstone objective of ensuring the availability, reliability, and operability of the EDGs to perform their intended safety function during a design basis event, and the cornerstone attribute of Equipment Performance:, i.e. availability. Following a Phase 3 analysis under the Significance Determination Process (SDP) the finding was determined to be of very low safety significance. The cause of this finding was related to the cross-cutting area of problem identification and resolution, specifically with respect to corrective action, because the licensee did not thoroughly evaluate the anomalous operation of the Parr generator voltage regulators and the reverse power relay in November 2006, such that the resolution adequately addressed causes and extent of condition.

The inspectors identified a NCV of TS 6.8.1, Procedures and Programs, for failure to follow procedure, ES-507, Review and Processing of Vendor Maintenance and Instruction Manuals, Revision 4, which requires performance of impact reviews of plant procedures due to vendor manual changes and technical updates. The failure resulted in 3 of 4 reactor trip breakers exceeding their service life. In addition, the inspectors identified several discrepancies between the vendor manual and the procedures that had not been properly evaluated. In response, the licensee initiated CR-08-03848 and properly evaluated the impact of the discrepancies noted by the inspectors.

===.1 Inspection Sample Selection Process===
The team selected risk significant components and operator actions for review using information contained in the licensee's Probabilistic Risk Assessment (PRA). In general, this included components and operator actions that had a risk achievement worth factor greater than two or Birnbaum value greater than 1 x10E-6. The components selected were located within the several plant systems including main steam, high head safety injection (HHSI), component cooling water (CCW), reactor make-up capability, instrument air (IA), and off-site power capability. In addition to design operation capability, the seismic capability of components was reviewed. The sample selection included 23 components, seven operator actions, and four operating experience items. Additionally, the team reviewed two modifications by performing activities identified in IP 71111.17, "Permanent Plant Modifications," Section 02.02.a. and IP 71111.02, "Evaluations of Changes, Tests, or Experiments."   The team performed a margin assessment and detailed review of the selected risk-significant components to verify that the design bases have been correctly implemented and maintained. This design margin assessment considered original design issues, margin reductions due to modification, or margin reductions identified as a result of material condition issues. Equipment reliability issues were also considered in the selection of components for detailed review. These included items such as failed performance test results, significant corrective action, repeated maintenance, maintenance rule (a)1 status, Regulatory Issue Summary 05-020 (formerly Generic Letter 91-18) conditions, NRC resident inspector input of problem equipment, system health reports, industry operating experience and licensee problem equipment lists.

=====Description:=====
Calculation DC0820-001 was intended to determine the adequacy of the degraded voltage relay setpoints. The calculation analyzed starting of motors, other than MOVs, during load sequencing on the offsite power supply. The analysis used a switchyard voltage of 96% of nominal voltage rather than voltage afforded by the degraded voltage relay scheme. A voltage of 96% was within the expected normal range of switchyard voltage controlled by system operators. A voltage of 96% at the switchyard afforded voltage at the 7.2 kV Class 1E bus is considerably higher than that guaranteed by the degraded voltage relays. Rough calculations by the inspectors based on the degraded voltage relay setpoints specified in surveillance procedure STP0506.004 showed that the voltage on the 7.2 kV bus could be 2.6% lower during load sequencing than the value that was used for the motor starting analyses in Calculation DC0820-001, without separating the Class 1E bus from the offsite power supply. Similarly, voltage during steady state conditions could be approximately 3% lower than was used for the Calculation DC0820-001 motor starting analysis. The inspectors noted that the voltage margin documented in Calculation DC0820-001 for motor starting was less than 10% for several motors and was as low as 3% for one motor. Consequently, the licensee failed to assure that motors had adequate voltage to start based on voltage afforded by undervoltage protection scheme during load sequencing and steady state conditions. The inspectors reviewed recent calibration data for the degraded voltage relays and concluded that the actual field setpoints would likely afford adequate voltage during motor starting, so that no motors were determined to be inoperable. The licensee assessed the operability of the motors and initiated CR-08-03731 to further address this concern.

The inspectors reviewed recent calibration data for the degraded voltage relays and concluded that the actual field setpoints would likely afford adequate voltage during motor starting, so that no motors were determined to be inoperable. The licensee assessed the operability of the motors and initiated CR-08-03731 to further address this concern.

The team examined the machinery history of CCW Pumps to verify that design bases have been maintained. The team reviewed the CCW DBDs, UFSAR, and applicable plant drawings to verify that the established design bases are in accordance with regulatory requirements. The team examined records and test data for both corrective and preventive maintenance, vendor trip reports, and applicable corrective actions to verify that potential degradation was being monitored, prevented, and corrected. The team verified the PM history and schedule consistent with vendor recommendations. The team also reviewed vibration data and associated test results, and lube-oil test results for the CCW Pumps to verify the likelihood of pump damage or failure from these mechanisms. The team reviewed the NPSH calculation to verify that the CCW pumps would be available and unimpeded during accident conditions. The team also conducted a field walkdown of the CCW pumps with the CCW System Engineer to verify that the installed configuration is consistent with the design basis and plant drawings. The team reviewed pump power demand during runout conditions to determine whether the motors were applied within their ratings. The team reviewed AC load flow and voltage calculations to determine whether adequate motive power was available during worst case degraded voltage and service conditions. The team reviewed elementary wiring and logic diagrams to determine whether motor control logic was in conformance with the design bases. The team reviewed overcurrent protective device settings to determine whether the motors were adequately protected, and whether they were susceptible to spurious tripping during runout conditions.

The team concluded that the licensee had failed to establish adequate post modification testing criteria for adjusting the Parr generator voltage regulators. This resulted in the voltage regulators for the Parr generators being improperly set to support VCS 7.2 kV safety buses.
The team concluded that the licensee had failed to establish adequate post modification testing criteria for adjusting the Parr generator voltage regulators. This resulted in the voltage regulators for the Parr generators being improperly set to support VCS 7.2 kV safety buses.


On two occasions where Parr was attempted to be tied to the VCS 7.2 kV buses, the 7.2 kV bus voltage was not maintained as required, rendering the Parr generators an unreliable source of power from the installation of ECR-50555 in 2006 until May, 2008. In addition, during troubleshooting tests to determine the cause of the Parr generator trip in May 2008, the 7.2 kV bus was spuriously separated from the Parr source by action of the reverse power relay opening the Parr Generator output breakers, installed as part of ECR-50555. This was unexpected since it occurred while forward current was flowing to the 7.2 kV bus, as would occur during use of the Parr source. The evaluation done as part of CR-08-02477 identified that the reverse relay had been connected incorrectly during installation in 2006. The team noted that procedure EC-03, Processing Engineering Change Packages, Section 6.12.2 required testing to confirm that the modified system functioned dynamically as designed. ECR-50555D, Functional Requirement 4.7.2.9 stated that interlock relaying shall be set up only to allow full power flow out of the Parr Station to VCS but not the reverse. However, the modification package did not include specific testing requirements for the reverse power relay that demonstrated that this requirement was met.

The team also noted that the licensee had an opportunity to discover the incorrect wiring since anomalous relay performance had been observed during testing in November 2006. CR-06-04033 documented that a sustained reverse power condition existed without operation of the relay as expected.

=====Analysis:=====
The failure to conduct adequate post modification testing to verify proper implementation of modification ECR-50555 resulted in the unreliability and capability of the Parr Hydro AC source to meet its intended purpose and was a performance deficiency. Between 2006 to May 2008, the intent for modification ECR-50555 to provide alternate source of AC power to the VCS 7.2 kV safety buses as well as enable the extension of an EDG TS Action Statement from 72 hours to 14 days was not accomplished due to the unreliability introduced by the improper setting of the voltage regulator as well as improper installation of the reverse power relay. The team determined that the deficiencies were within the licensee's ability to foresee, prevent, and correct. This finding involving inadequate post modification testing is more than minor because it resulted in TS 3.8.1.1.b.4 not being met on three occasions as well as overall plant risk reduction and consequent equipment out-of-service planning based on an unavailable and unreliable Parr alternate AC source.

* Prior to station battery depletion, operators would place the Turbine Driven Auxiliary Feedwater Train's flow control valves such that they would continue to provide secondary side heat removal after battery failure. Both Emergency Diesel Generator maintenance and non-maintenance configurations were considered in the analysis. Therefore, a one year exposure time evaluated. Also, external events were considered but, were shown to have a minimal risk contribution. The cause of this finding was related to the cross-cutting area of problem identification and resolution, specifically with respect to corrective action, because the licensee did not thoroughly evaluate the anomalous operation of the Parr generator voltage regulators and the reverse power relay in November 2006, such that the resolution adequately addressed causes and extent of condition (MC 0305, aspect P.1.c).

The performance deficiency involving inadequate post modification testing following implementation of modification ECR 50555 resulted in the requirements of TS 3.8.1.1.b.4 not being met on three occasions as well as overall plant risk reduction and consequent equipment out-of-service planning based on an unavailable and unreliable Parr alternate AC source. Technical Specification Limiting Condition for Operation (LCO) 3.8.1.1.b requires that two diesel generators be operable during Modes 1, 2, 3, and 4 of operation. Technical Specification Action 3.8.1.1.b.4 for one EDG of 3.8.1.1.b inoperable, states, in part: Restore the EDG to OPERABLE status within 72 hours or be in at least HOT STANDBY within the next 6 hours and in COLD SHUTDOWN within the following 30 hours, unless the following condition exists: a) The requirement for restoration of the EDG to OPERABLE status within 72 hours may be extended to 14 days if the Alternate AC (AAC) power source is or will be available within 1 hour, as specified in the Bases, and b) If at any time the AAC availability cannot be met, either restore the AAC to available status within the remainder of the 72 hours in 4.a (not to exceed 14 days from the time the EDG originally became inoperable), or be in at least HOT STANDBY within the next 6 hours and in COLD SHUTDOWN within the next 30 hours. SR 3.0.1 states, "Compliance with the Limiting Conditions for Operation contained in the succeeding specifications is required during the OPERATIONAL MODES or other conditions specified therein; except that upon failure to meet the Limiting Conditions for Operation, the associated ACTION requirements shall be met."  Contrary to the above, from 2/12/2007 to 2/18/07, 2/26/07 to 3/02/07, and 3/24/08 to 3/31/08,  one diesel generator was inoperable for greater than 72 hours without the availability of the Alternate AC power source, without taking actions required by LCO 3.8.1.1.b. Because this violation was of very low safety significance, was not repetitive or willful, and it was entered into the licensee's corrective action program as condition reports CR-08-03862 and CR-08-03863, this violation is being treated as an NCV, consistent with section VI.A.1 of the NRC Enforcement Policy. This finding is identified as NCV 05000395/20080007-02, EDG Exceeded Technical Specification Allowable Outage Time.

=====Description:=====
The inspectors identified inconsistencies between the licensee's reactor trip breaker testing procedure, EMP-135.004, Reactor Trip Breaker Testing, Revision 2, and the applicable vendor information. Westinghouse Maintenance Program Manual for Safety Related Type DS Low Voltage Metal Enclosed Switchgear, dated March, 1999, was incorporated into VCS Vendor Manual 1-MS-94B-1066, Revision 10. The inspectors noted that there were several differences between the licensee's maintenance procedure and the vendor manual and inquired whether a procedure impact review had been performed when the vendor manual had been received. The licensee was not able to locate any record of an impact review. In May 2008, Westinghouse advised the licensee that 3 out of the 4 reactor trip breakers sent in for refurbishment could not be refurbished because they had exceeded their service life of 4000 cycles. The 4000 cycle service life was clearly stated in the vendor manual but had not been captured in the maintenance procedure or otherwise evaluated as not applicable.

The licensee initiated CR-08-01710 at the time, but failed to investigate whether there were other vendor maintenance requirements that were also not being met. Consequently, this represents missed opportunity to identify and correct the discrepancies.

The differences between the vendor manual and the licensee procedure were substantive and included omissions of required tasks, as well as differences in test methods, test sequence, acceptance criteria, and maintenance methods. Although the circuit breakers installed during RFO-17 had been refurbished, the Westinghouse Maintenance Program Manual also required testing prior to installation. The inspectors reviewed work orders related to the pre-installation testing and noted that, in addition to the discrepancies with vendor recommendations previously identified, at least one required test specified by the vendor had not been performed. In response to the inspectors concerns, the licensee initiated CR-08-03848 and evaluated the impact of the discrepancies noted by the inspectors.

UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION REGION II SAM NUNN ATLANTA FEDERAL CENTER 61 FORSYTH STREET, SW, SUITE 23T85 ATLANTA, GEORGIA 30303-8931 January 7, 2009 Mr. Jeffrey Vice President South Carolina Electric & Gas Company Virgil C. Summer Nuclear Station P.O. Box 88 Jenkinsville, SC 29065

SUBJECT: V.C. SUMMER NUCLEAR STATION - NRC COMPONENT DESIGN BASES INSPECTION REPORT 05000395/2008007

Dear Mr. Archie:

On September 12, 2008, the U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed an inspection at your Virgil C. Summer Nuclear Station. The enclosed inspection report documents the inspection findings which were discussed on September 12, 2008, October 23, 2008, and on December 10, 2008, 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.

Based on the results of this inspection, the inspectors identified four findings of very low safety significance (Green). Three of these findings were determined to involve violations of NRC requirements. However, because of their very low safety significance and because they are entered into your corrective action program, the NRC is treating the three findings determined to be violations of NRC requirements as Non-Cited Violations (NCVs) consistent with Section VI.A.1 of the NRC's Enforcement Policy. If you contest any of these NCVs you should provide a response within 30 days of the date of this inspection report, with the bases 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, U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555-0001; and the NRC Resident Inspector at VC Summer Nuclear Station.

SCE&G 2In 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 Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html (the Public Electronic Reading Room).

SUMMARY OF FINDINGS

IR 05000395/2008007; 08/11/08 - 08/15/08, 08/25/08 - 08/29/08, 09/08/08 - 09/12/08, Virgil C. Summer Nuclear Station, Unit 1; Component Design Bases Inspection.

This inspection was conducted by a team of nine NRC inspectors, which included two NRC contract inspectors and two NRC trainee inspector accompaniments. Four Green findings (three of which were classified as non-cited violations) were identified during this inspection. The significance of most findings is indicated by their color (Green, White, Yellow, Red) using IMC 0609, "Significance Determination Process" (SDP). 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," (ROP) Revision 4, dated December 2006.

A.

NRC-Identified and Self-Revealing Findings

Cornerstone: Mitigating Systems

Green.

The inspectors identified a NCV of 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion III, Design Control. Specifically, the licensee failed to verify the adequacy of the degraded voltage relay voltage setpoints by performing motor starting analyses based on voltage afforded by the relays. The failure resulted in several safety related motors having less margin than originally calculated. The licensee assessed the calculations to ensure the motors would start and entered the issue into their corrective action program to address this concern.

This finding is more than minor because it affects the Mitigating Systems Cornerstone objective of ensuring the availability, reliability, and operability of the safety related motors to perform their intended safety function during a design basis event and the cornerstone attribute of Design Control, i.e. initial design. The inspectors determined that the finding was of very low safety significance because the deficiency did not result in any motor being inoperable, after additional licensee analysis showed that the motors would have adequate voltage to start based on actual field setpoints. This finding was reviewed for cross-cutting aspects and none were identified since the performance deficiency is not indicative of current licensee performance. (Section 1R21.2.2)

Green.

The inspectors identified a NCV of VCS TS 3.8.1.1.b.4 caused by the failure to conduct proper post modification testing after implementation of modification ECR-50555. This testing failed to identify that the voltage regulator settings and the reverse power relay portion of the modification were improperly implemented. Further, it impacted the reliability and availability of the Parr alternate AC supply to VCS's safety buses. The licensee initiated procedures for setting the voltage regulators and bypassed the reverse power relay. These issues were entered into the corrective action program. LER 05000395/2008004 was also submitted on October 10, 2008 by the licensee associated with the TS violation.

This finding is more than minor because exceeding a Technical Specification Limiting Condition of Operation affects the Mitigating Systems Cornerstone objective of ensuring the availability, reliability, and operability of the EDGs to perform their intended safety function during a design basis event, and the cornerstone attribute of Equipment Performance:, i.e. availability. Following a Phase 3 analysis under the Significance Determination Process (SDP) the finding was determined to be of very low safety significance. The cause of this finding was related to the cross-cutting area of problem identification and resolution, specifically with respect to corrective action, because the licensee did not thoroughly evaluate the anomalous operation of the Parr generator voltage regulators and the reverse power relay in November 2006, such that the resolution adequately addressed causes and extent of condition. (P.1.c) (Section 1R21.2.19)

Green.

The inspectors identified a NCV of TS 6.8.1, Procedures and Programs, for failure to follow procedure, ES-507, Review and Processing of Vendor Maintenance and Instruction Manuals, Revision 4, which requires performance of impact reviews of plant procedures due to vendor manual changes and technical updates. The failure resulted in 3 of 4 reactor trip breakers exceeding their service life. In addition, the inspectors identified several discrepancies between the vendor manual and the procedures that had not been properly evaluated. In response, the licensee initiated CR-08-03848 and properly evaluated the impact of the discrepancies noted by the inspectors.

This finding is more than minor because it affects the Mitigating Systems Cornerstone objective to ensure the reliability, availability, and capability of systems that respond to initiating events and is associated with the attribute of procedure quality, in that inconsistencies were identified in Procedure EMP-135.004, Reactor Trip Breaker Testing, Revision 2, where the licensee routinely failed to evaluate differences between vendor recommendations and the procedure. The finding was determined to be of very low safety significance, because there was no loss of the reactor trip breaker safety function to open on a reactor trip signal. The cause of this finding was related to the cross-cutting area of operating experience, specifically with respect to including vendor recommendations in procedures to support plant safety. (P.2.b) (Section 1R21.4)

Green.

The inspectors identified a finding of very low safety significance involving a failure to comply with a commitment to maintain periodic vendor interface program in response to Generic Letter 90-03. This failure resulted in identifying at least two items in the vendor manual that were either out of date or obsolete, succeeded by a more recent technical bulletin from the vendor.

This finding is more than minor because it affects the Mitigating Systems Cornerstone objective to ensure the reliability, availability, and capability of systems that respond to initiating events and is associated with the attribute of equipment performance, in that the data in the vendor technical information files necessary to ensure reliable equipment operation was obsolete. The finding was determined to be of very low safety significance because there was no loss of the reactor trip breaker safety function to open on a reactor trip signal. There was no cross-cutting aspect identified with this finding.

B. Licensee-Identified Violations

None.

REPORT DETAILS

REACTOR SAFETY

Cornerstones: Mitigating Systems and Barrier Integrity

1R21 Component Design Bases Inspection

.1 Inspection Sample Selection Process

The team selected risk significant components and operator actions for review using information contained in the licensee's Probabilistic Risk Assessment (PRA). In general, this included components and operator actions that had a risk achievement worth factor greater than two or Birnbaum value greater than 1 x10E-6. The components selected were located within the several plant systems including main steam, high head safety injection (HHSI), component cooling water (CCW), reactor make-up capability, instrument air (IA), and off-site power capability. In addition to design operation capability, the seismic capability of components was reviewed. The sample selection included 23 components, seven operator actions, and four operating experience items. Additionally, the team reviewed two modifications by performing activities identified in IP 71111.17, "Permanent Plant Modifications," Section 02.02.a. and IP 71111.02, "Evaluations of Changes, Tests, or Experiments."

The team performed a margin assessment and detailed review of the selected risk-significant components to verify that the design bases have been correctly implemented and maintained. This design margin assessment considered original design issues, margin reductions due to modification, or margin reductions identified as a result of material condition issues. Equipment reliability issues were also considered in the selection of components for detailed review. These included items such as failed performance test results, significant corrective action, repeated maintenance, maintenance rule (a)1 status, Regulatory Issue Summary 05-020 (formerly Generic Letter 91-18) conditions, NRC resident inspector input of problem equipment, system health reports, industry operating experience and licensee problem equipment lists.

Consideration was also given to the uniqueness and complexity of the design, operating experience, and the available defense in depth margins. An overall summary of the reviews performed and the specific inspection findings identified are included in the following sections of the report.

.2 Results of Detailed Reviews

.2.1 High Energy Piping- Main Steam Piping (Loop A)

a. Inspection Scope

The team reviewed the design basis document (DBD), updated final safety analysis report (UFSAR), applicable plant drawings, and design specification documents to identify the design requirements for main steam piping from the steam generator to the main steam isolation valves. The team reviewed past examination history and scheduled examinations of the Main Steam piping as part of the In-service Inspection Program and Flow Accelerated Corrosion Control Program to verify that the scope and examination frequencies were consistent with the NRC regulatory requirements and industry standards.

Furthermore, the team reviewed stress analysis calculations to verify that design assumptions and safety margin were adequate for normal, upset, emergency, and faulted conditions. The team also reviewed the design calculations to verify that plant modifications were considered in the analyses and that the design basis was maintained. In addition, the team performed a system walk-down to verify the piping installed configuration and assess the observable material condition.

b. Findings

No findings of significance were identified.

.2.2 HHSI Pump & Pump Motor B

a. Inspection Scope

The team reviewed applicable portions of the UFSAR, DBD, drawings, and calculations to identify design basis requirements for the high head safety injection/charging pump.

Surveillance procedures and tests were reviewed to determine whether design basis head/flow requirements were enveloped by test acceptance criteria.

Pump flows encountered during mini-flow bypass operation, normal operation, and surveillance testing were evaluated to assess whether loads on the thrust bearing replicated design basis accident conditions. Maintenance Rule (MR) program and implementation documents were examined to determine whether the pump was scoped under the MR. The vendor manual was reviewed to identify recommendations for inspection and maintenance. The computerized maintenance management system (CMMS) was reviewed to identify preventive maintenance (PM) procedures and maintenance work orders. Surveillance test results for oil and vibration testing were reviewed to determine whether results were consistent with acceptance criteria.

Condition report (CR) history for the past eight years was reviewed to identify thrust bearing and other failures and to determine whether failures were evaluated for MR.

The team reviewed pump power demand during runout conditions to determine whether the motors were operated within their ratings. The team reviewed AC load flow and voltage calculations to determine whether adequate motive power was available during worst case degraded voltage and service conditions. The team reviewed elementary wiring and logic diagrams to determine whether motor control logic was in conformance with the design bases. The team reviewed overcurrent protective device settings to determine whether the motors were adequately protected, and whether they were susceptible to spurious tripping during runout conditions.

b. Findings

Introduction:

The inspectors identified a finding of very low safety significance (Green) involving a non-cited violation (NCV) of 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion III, Design Control.

Specifically, the licensee failed to verify the adequacy of the degraded voltage relay voltage setpoints by performing motor starting analyses based on voltage commensurate with the degraded voltage relay scheme.

Description:

Calculation DC0820-001 was intended to determine the adequacy of the degraded voltage relay setpoints. The calculation analyzed starting of motors, other than MOVs, during load sequencing on the offsite power supply. The analysis used a switchyard voltage of 96% of nominal voltage rather than voltage afforded by the degraded voltage relay scheme. A voltage of 96% was within the expected normal range of switchyard voltage controlled by system operators. A voltage of 96% at the switchyard afforded voltage at the 7.2 kV Class 1E bus is considerably higher than that guaranteed by the degraded voltage relays. Rough calculations by the inspectors based on the degraded voltage relay setpoints specified in surveillance procedure STP0506.004 showed that the voltage on the 7.2 kV bus could be 2.6% lower during load sequencing than the value that was used for the motor starting analyses in Calculation DC0820-001, without separating the Class 1E bus from the offsite power supply. Similarly, voltage during steady state conditions could be approximately 3% lower than was used for the Calculation DC0820-001 motor starting analysis. The inspectors noted that the voltage margin documented in Calculation DC0820-001 for motor starting was less than 10% for several motors and was as low as 3% for one motor. Consequently, the licensee failed to assure that motors had adequate voltage to start based on voltage afforded by undervoltage protection scheme during load sequencing and steady state conditions. The inspectors reviewed recent calibration data for the degraded voltage relays and concluded that the actual field setpoints would likely afford adequate voltage during motor starting, so that no motors were determined to be inoperable. The licensee assessed the operability of the motors and initiated CR-08-03731 to further address this concern.

Analysis:

The failure to assure the adequacy of degraded voltage relay setpoints by performing adequate motor starting analyses was a performance deficiency. This finding is more than minor because it affects the Mitigating Systems Cornerstone objective of ensuring the availability, reliability, and operability of the safety related motors to perform their intended safety function during a design basis event and the cornerstone attribute of Design Control, i.e. initial design. The inspectors assessed the finding using the Manual Chapter 0609 Significance Determination Process and determined that the finding was of very low safety significance (Green) because the deficiency did not result in any motor being inoperable, after additional analysis showed that the motors would have adequate voltage to start based on actual field setpoints. This finding was reviewed for cross-cutting aspects and none were identified since the performance deficiency is not indicative of current licensee performance.

Enforcement:

10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion III, Design Control, states, in part, that measures shall be established to assure that applicable regulatory requirements and the design bases for structures, systems, and components are correctly translated into specifications, drawings, procedures, and instructions. Contrary to the above, the licensee failed to assure that the degraded voltage relay setpoints provided in surveillance procedures were based on adequate motor starting analyses. Because this violation was of very low safety significance, was not repetitive or willful, and it was entered into the licensee's corrective action program as condition report CR-08-03731, this violation is being treated as an NCV, consistent with section VI.A.1 of the NRC Enforcement Policy. This finding is identified as NCV 05000395/20080007-01, Inadequate Motor Starting

The team reviewed Modification ECR-50555, implemented in 2006, which installed a new underground electric tie line from the Parr Hydro Generating Station (Parr) to VCS, and its associated distribution equipment. The Parr station is a non-safety system.

The modification was intended to provide an alternate source of AC power to the VCS 7.2 kV safety buses, thus reducing plant risk, and enabling the extension of an EDG TS Action Statement from 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br /> to 14 days.

b. Findings

Introduction:

The inspectors identified a Green NCV of VCS TS 3.8.1.1.b.4 for the failure to conduct proper post modification testing after implementation of modification ECR-50555. Specifically, this testing failed to identify that the voltage regulator settings and the reverse power relay portion of the modification were improperly implemented. These deficiencies resulted in the EDG TS 3.8.1.1.b.4 not being met on three occasions.

Further, it impacted the reliability and availability of the Parr alternate AC supply to VCS's safety buses, thus affecting licensee assumptions and actions related to plant risk. The licensee entered these issues into the corrective action program as CR-08-03862 and CR-08-03863. LER 05000395/2008004 was also submitted on October 10, 2008 by the licensee associated with the TS violation.

Description:

Modification ECR-50555, implemented in 2006, was intended to provide an alternate source of AC power to the VCS 7.2 kV safety buses in the event of loss of the other sources of power, including power from the 115 kV and 230 kV switchyards, and the EDGs. The modification involved installation of an underground tie line from VCS to the Parr station, and associated distribution equipment and protective relaying. The Parr source was not credited as an Alternate AC source commensurate with the requirements of 10 CFR 50.63, Loss of all alternating current power. However, the Parr source was installed to extend the TS Allowable Outage Time for an EDG from 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br /> to 14 days in accordance with TS 3.8.1.1.b.4 as well as to reduce overall plant risk.

The team determined that the licensee extended the TS action statement, as allowed by TS 3.8.1.1.b.4 on three occasions based on the Parr source being available. The three occasions since 2006 when the EDG out-of-service time was extended beyond 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br /> occurred on 2/12/2007 to 2/18/07 (129.7 hours8.101852e-5 days <br />0.00194 hours <br />1.157407e-5 weeks <br />2.6635e-6 months <br />), 2/26/07 to 3/02/07 (83 hours9.606481e-4 days <br />0.0231 hours <br />1.372354e-4 weeks <br />3.15815e-5 months <br />), and 3/24/08 to 3/31/08 (135.1 hours1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br />).

Upon review of test records and corrective action documents generated during acceptance and post modification testing for ECR-50555 in 2006, and for periodic testing performed in 2008, the inspector noted several entries regarding malfunction of the Parr generator voltage regulators and the reverse power relay in the circuit. These malfunctions could have rendered the Parr AC source to VCS unreliable and potentially unavailable.

In particular, during the November 2006 acceptance testing performed in accordance with STP 125.021, voltage on the VCS 7.2 kV safety bus during motor starting dipped much lower than predicted in the design calculation. Calculation DC0810-025 predicted 82.8 percentage voltage (approximately 5.961 kV) at the 7.2 kV bus during starting of the charging pump; however, voltage actually dipped to approximately 69% (approximately 4.968 kV). The team noted that procedure EC-3, Processing Engineering Change Package, Section 6.12.3 required testing to confirm that the assumptions made in the design process were valid and the design met the functional requirement of the design basis.

The team noted that the post modification testing requirements for ECR-50555 did not provide for direct measurement of bus voltage during motor starting and did not provide associated voltage acceptance criteria. Consequently, CR-06-04031 concluded that the test results showing approximately 69% voltage were acceptable without addressing the disparity with the design calculation which predicted 82.8%. CR-06-04031 incorrectly characterized the starting voltage specification (i.e., 80%) for motors as the pre-inrush voltage at the bus, not the minimum voltage at the motor terminals during inrush. During a May 2008 test, the starting of a charging pump motor caused 7.2 kV bus voltage to drop enough to cause the Parr generators to trip. After troubleshooting, the licensee concluded in CR-08-02381 that the cause of the Parr generator trip was incorrect field current settings on the three generators used for the tests.

The team concluded that the licensee had failed to establish adequate post modification testing criteria for adjusting the Parr generator voltage regulators. This resulted in the voltage regulators for the Parr generators being improperly set to support VCS 7.2 kV safety buses.

On two occasions where Parr was attempted to be tied to the VCS 7.2 kV buses, the 7.2 kV bus voltage was not maintained as required, rendering the Parr generators an unreliable source of power from the installation of ECR-50555 in 2006 until May, 2008.

In addition, during troubleshooting tests to determine the cause of the Parr generator trip in May 2008, the 7.2 kV bus was spuriously separated from the Parr source by action of the reverse power relay opening the Parr Generator output breakers, installed as part of ECR-50555. This was unexpected since it occurred while forward current was flowing to the 7.2 kV bus, as would occur during use of the Parr source. The evaluation done as part of CR-08-02477 identified that the reverse relay had been connected incorrectly during installation in 2006.

The team noted that procedure EC-03, Processing Engineering Change Packages, Section 6.12.2 required testing to confirm that the modified system functioned dynamically as designed. ECR-50555D, Functional Requirement 4.7.2.9 stated that interlock relaying shall be set up only to allow full power flow out of the Parr Station to VCS but not the reverse. However, the modification package did not include specific testing requirements for the reverse power relay that demonstrated that this requirement was met.

The team also noted that the licensee had an opportunity to discover the incorrect wiring since anomalous relay performance had been observed during testing in November 2006. CR-06-04033 documented that a sustained reverse power condition existed without operation of the relay as expected.

The relay calibration was checked and found to be acceptable, but no further investigation was performed to determine the cause of the observed malfunction until May, 2008. The team concluded that the design error in the reverse power relay wiring further contributed to the Parr source to VCS being unreliable and unavailable since the installation of ECR-50555 in 2006 until May, 2008.

In summary, the team concluded that between 2006 to May 2008, modification ECR-50555 was not properly implemented due to the unreliability introduced by the improper setting of the voltage regulator as well as improper installation of the reverse power relay. This unreliability also affected overall plant risk assumptions made by the licensee. The licensee has entered these issues into the corrective action program as CR-08-03862 and CR-08-03863.

Analysis:

The failure to conduct adequate post modification testing to verify proper implementation of modification ECR-50555 resulted in the unreliability and capability of the Parr Hydro AC source to meet its intended purpose and was a performance deficiency. Between 2006 to May 2008, the intent for modification ECR-50555 to provide alternate source of AC power to the VCS 7.2 kV safety buses as well as enable the extension of an EDG TS Action Statement from 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br /> to 14 days was not accomplished due to the unreliability introduced by the improper setting of the voltage regulator as well as improper installation of the reverse power relay. The team determined that the deficiencies were within the licensee's ability to foresee, prevent, and correct.

This finding involving inadequate post modification testing is more than minor because it resulted in TS 3.8.1.1.b.4 not being met on three occasions as well as overall plant risk reduction and consequent equipment out-of-service planning based on an unavailable and unreliable Parr alternate AC source.

The finding affected Mitigating Systems Cornerstone objective of ensuring the availability and operability of the EDG units and the reliability and availability of Parr units which were intended to reduce overall plant risk.

The EDG units' unavailability also affected the cornerstone attribute of Equipment Performance. A regional Senior Reactor Analyst performed a Significance Determination Process Phase 3 analysis of the performance deficiency resulting in a finding of very low safety significance (Green). The dominant accident sequence involved a non-grid related Loss of Offsite Power with both Emergency Diesel Generators failing to run, the Parr Hydro-electric Generator power source failed (performance deficiency) and was not recovered, operators operated the Turbine Driven Auxiliary Feedwater Train beyond battery life but, offsite power was not recovered within fourteen hours. This resulted in core damage. The key assumptions were:

  • The alternate Alternating Current source, the Parr Hydro-electric Generator, would trip one time out of every nine demands due to the performance deficiency
  • A Parr Hydro-electric Generator trip due to the performance deficiency could be reset and the generator restarted fifty percent of the time, if core damage would not happen for over four hours.
  • Prior to station battery depletion, operators would place the Turbine Driven Auxiliary Feedwater Train's flow control valves such that they would continue to provide secondary side heat removal after battery failure.

Both Emergency Diesel Generator maintenance and non-maintenance configurations were considered in the analysis. Therefore, a one year exposure time evaluated. Also, external events were considered but, were shown to have a minimal risk contribution.

The cause of this finding was related to the cross-cutting area of problem identification and resolution, specifically with respect to corrective action, because the licensee did not thoroughly evaluate the anomalous operation of the Parr generator voltage regulators and the reverse power relay in November 2006, such that the resolution adequately addressed causes and extent of condition (MC 0305, aspect P.1.c).

Enforcement:

The performance deficiency involving inadequate post modification testing following implementation of modification ECR 50555 resulted in the requirements of TS 3.8.1.1.b.4 not being met on three occasions as well as overall plant risk reduction and consequent equipment out-of-service planning based on an unavailable and unreliable Parr alternate AC source. Technical Specification Limiting Condition for Operation (LCO) 3.8.1.1.b requires that two diesel generators be operable during Modes 1, 2, 3, and 4 of operation. Technical Specification Action 3.8.1.1.b.4 for one EDG of 3.8.1.1.b inoperable, states, in part:

SR 3.0.1 states, "Compliance with the Limiting Conditions for Operation contained in the succeeding specifications is required during the OPERATIONAL MODES or other conditions specified therein; except that upon failure to meet the Limiting Conditions for Operation, the associated ACTION requirements shall be met." Contrary to the above, from 2/12/2007 to 2/18/07, 2/26/07 to 3/02/07, and 3/24/08 to 3/31/08, one diesel generator was inoperable for greater than 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br /> without the availability of the Alternate AC power source, without taking actions required by LCO 3.8.1.1.b. Because this violation was of very low safety significance, was not repetitive or willful, and it was entered into the licensee's corrective action program as condition reports CR-08-03862 and CR-08-03863, this violation is being treated as an NCV, consistent with section VI.A.1 of the NRC Enforcement Policy.

In addition, the team reviewed maintenance documentation, performance trending, equipment history as identified by plant work orders and system health reports to assess the licensee's actions to verify and maintain the safety function, reliability, and availability. The review was performed in order to verify that specified acceptance criteria were met and that the equipment operation was consistent with the plant's licensing and design bases. The team reviewed a selected sample of CRs to verify that design and performance problems were identified and entered into the corrective action program. The team performed field walk downs of the Instrument Air system to verify that the observable material condition was acceptable.

.3 Review of Low Margin Operator Actions

a. Inspection Scope

The team performed a margin assessment and detailed review of a sample of risk significant and time critical operator actions. Where possible, margins were determined by the review of the assumed design bases and safety analysis report response times and performance times documented by job performance measure results within operator time critical task verification tests. For the selected operator actions, the team performed a walk through of associated emergency procedures, abnormal procedures, annunciator response procedures, and other operations procedures with appropriate plant operators and engineers to assess operator knowledge level, adequacy of procedures, availability of special equipment when required, and the conditions under which the procedures would be performed. Detailed reviews were also conducted with risk assessment engineers, engineering safety analysts, training department leadership, and through observation and utilization of a simulator training period to further understand and assess the procedural rationale and approach to meeting the design bases and safety analysis report response and performance times. The following operator actions were reviewed:

  • Placing Parr-Hydro Into Service In Response to a SBO (Failure to align in 1 hr)
  • Refill RWST As Part of SGTR Mitigation (Failure to refill RWST)
  • Time Required to Terminate Primary to Secondary Break Flow May Exceed 30 min Accident Analysis Assumption During SGTR
  • Inadvertent SI- Pressurizer Fills Before Operator Terminates SI
  • Operator Opens Switchgear Door in Response to High Temperature Alarms
  • Operator Response to Use XAC-12, Backup IA Compressor
  • Operator Initial Response to ATWS (Failure of Manual Rod Insertion)

b. Findings

No findings of significance were identified.

b. Findings

.1 Failure to Translate Vendor Recommendations Into Procedures for Reactor Trip Breakers

Introduction:

The inspectors identified a finding of very low safety significance (Green) involving a non-cited violation of TS 6.8.1, Procedures and Programs, for failure to follow procedure, ES-507, Review and Processing of Vendor Maintenance and Instruction Manuals, Revision 4, which requires performance of impact reviews of plant procedures due to vendor manual changes and technical updates.

Description:

The inspectors identified inconsistencies between the licensee's reactor trip breaker testing procedure, EMP-135.004, Reactor Trip Breaker Testing, Revision 2, and the applicable vendor information. Westinghouse Maintenance Program Manual for Safety Related Type DS Low Voltage Metal Enclosed Switchgear, dated March, 1999, was incorporated into VCS Vendor Manual 1-MS-94B-1066, Revision 10. The inspectors noted that there were several differences between the licensee's maintenance procedure and the vendor manual and inquired whether a procedure impact review had been performed when the vendor manual had been received. The licensee was not able to locate any record of an impact review.

In May 2008, Westinghouse advised the licensee that 3 out of the 4 reactor trip breakers sent in for refurbishment could not be refurbished because they had exceeded their service life of 4000 cycles. The 4000 cycle service life was clearly stated in the vendor manual but had not been captured in the maintenance procedure or otherwise evaluated as not applicable.

The licensee initiated CR-08-01710 at the time, but failed to investigate whether there were other vendor maintenance requirements that were also not being met. Consequently, this represents missed opportunity to identify and correct the discrepancies.

The differences between the vendor manual and the licensee procedure were substantive and included omissions of required tasks, as well as differences in test methods, test sequence, acceptance criteria, and maintenance methods. Although the circuit breakers installed during RFO-17 had been refurbished, the Westinghouse Maintenance Program Manual also required testing prior to installation. The inspectors reviewed work orders related to the pre-installation testing and noted that, in addition to the discrepancies with vendor recommendations previously identified, at least one required test specified by the vendor had not been performed. In response to the inspectors concerns, the licensee initiated CR-08-03848 and evaluated the impact of the discrepancies noted by the inspectors.

The licensee concluded that based on discussions with Westinghouse and the successful completion of Surveillance Test STP-345.037, there was reasonable assurance that the reactor trip breakers would operate properly in response to a reactor trip signal.

Analysis:

The inspectors concluded that the failure to perform technical impact reviews of reactor trip breaker manual changes and technical updates was a performance deficiency. This finding is more than minor in a accordance with MC 0612. It affects the Mitigating Systems Cornerstone objective to ensure the reliability, availability, and capability of systems that respond to initiating events and is associated with the attribute of procedure quality, in that inconsistencies were identified in Procedure EMP-135.004, Reactor Trip Breaker Testing, Revision 2, and the licensee routinely failed to evaluate differences between vendor recommendations and the procedure. The finding was determined to be of very low safety significance (Green), using the safety significance determination process (SDP) phase 1 worksheet, because there was no loss of the reactor trip breaker safety function to open on a reactor trip signal.

The cause of this finding was related to the cross-cutting area of operating experience, specifically with respect to including vendor recommendations in procedures to support plant safety. (MC 0305, P.2.b).

Enforcement:

TS 6.8.1 requires that procedures shall be established, implemented and maintained covering the applicable procedures recommended in Regulatory Guide 1.33. Regulatory Guide 1.33, Appendix A, Section 3, requires procedures for operation and maintenance of safety-related systems. ES-507, Review and Processing of Vendor Maintenance and Instruction Manuals, Revision 4, requires that vendor manuals receive a technical impact review to address revising maintenance, surveillance or test procedures. Contrary to the above, activities affecting quality were not accomplished in accordance with prescribed procedures, in that a technical impact review was not performed for reactor trip breaker manual changes. Specifically, changes to the Westinghouse Maintenance Program Manual for Safety Related Type DS Low Voltage Metal Enclosed Switchgear, dated March 1999 received no technical impact review. Consequently, there was no justification for identified deviations between the vendor manual and the maintenance procedure. This issue was identified in the licensee's corrective action program as CR-08-03848.

Because this failure to comply with TS 6.8.1 is of very low safety significance and has been entered into the licensee's corrective action program, it is being identified as a non-cited violation consistent with Section VI.A of the NRC Enforcement Policy: NCV 05000395/20080007-03, Failure to Follow Procedure for Analyzing the Impact of Updated Vendor Technical Manual.

.2 Failure to Maintain a Vendor Interface Program

Introduction:

The inspectors identified a finding of very low safety significance (Green) involving a failure to comply with a commitment to maintain a vendor interface program assuring receipt of all technical information in response to Generic Letter 90-03.

Description:

Generic Letter 83-28, Item 2.2.2 required licensees to establish, implement and maintain a continuing program to ensure that vendor information for safety-related components is complete, current and controlled throughout the life of their plants.

Item 2.2.2 required periodic communication with vendors and system of positive feedback with vendors for mailings containing technical information. Generic Letter 90-03 modified the original requirements of Generic Letter 83-28 by endorsing Vendor Equipment Technical Information Program (VETIP) described in the Nuclear Utility Task Action Committee (NUTAC) Report issued in March 1984. Generic Letter 90-03 stated that there should be a program with the NSSS vendor as described in the VETIP, which covered all the safety-related components within the NSSS scope of supply. This program was expected to include provisions for assuring receipt by the licensee of all technical information provided by the NSSS vendor. In addition, a program was also expected to be in place to periodically contact the vendors of key safety-related components (such as auxiliary feedwater pumps, batteries, inverters, battery chargers, cooling water pumps, and valve operators), to obtain any applicable technical information. In letters dated September 28, 1984, and September 25, 1990, VCS committed to periodic contact with the NSSS supplier and other vendors of safety related equipment. The letters also described processes for review of technical information and incorporation into vendor manuals and maintenance procedures. Specifically, the September 25, 1990 letter stated, "In addition, based on the recommendations of the Generic Letter, SCE&G, as part of the periodic evaluation of vendors, will request information on any changes to vendor technical information for key equipment." This commitment was incorporated into SAP-1280, Control of Vendor Manuals, Revision 2, which required in Section 5.2.2 that the Manager of Materials and Procurement "Ensure that changes to vendor technical information for key equipment are requested as part of the ongoing interface with and periodic evaluation of vendors." SAP-1280 Revision 2 Change A eliminated this requirement as a result of a commitment reduction effort in 1999. Consequently, since 1999 it appears that there has not been a formal vendor interface program meeting the intent of the Generic Letter 83-28 Item 2.2.2 and Generic Letter 90-03. In particular, the licensee was not able to provide evidence of periodic vendor contact for the purpose of ensuring that the technical files for the Reactor Trip Breakers were up to date. A limited review of VCS vendor manual files for the Reactor Trip Breakers by the inspectors showed that at least two items were out of date. First, Vendor Manual 1MS-94B-468 contained I.B. 32-690-A, Instructions for Type DS Metal-Enclosed Low-Voltage Power Circuit Breaker Switchgear Assemblies, dated July, 1976 while the current revision is I.B. 32-690-D, dated January 1985.

Second, Vendor Manual 1-MS-94B-1066 had not been updated to incorporate Westinghouse Technical Bulletin W-TB-00-01-R0, Westinghouse DS Circuit Breaker, Issued, April 24, 2000. Westinghouse Technical Bulletin W-TB-00-01-R0 affected activities performed by Maintenance Procedure EMP-135.004, Reactor Trip Breaker Testing, Revision 2, which was found to have obsolete information affected by the bulletin. The licensee concluded that based on discussions with Westinghouse and the successful completion of Surveillance Test STP-345.037, that there was reasonable assurance that the reactor trip breakers would operate properly in response to a reactor trip signal. This issue has been entered into the licensee's corrective action program as CR-08-03931.

Analysis:

The inspectors concluded that the failure to comply with a commitment to maintain a vendor interface program assuring receipt of all technical information was a performance deficiency. This finding is more than minor in accordance with MC 0612. It affects the Mitigating Systems Cornerstone objective to ensure the reliability, availability, and capability of systems that respond to initiating events and is associated with the attribute of equipment performance, in that data in vendor technical information files necessary to ensure reliable equipment operation was obsolete.

The finding was determined to be of very low safety significance (Green), using the safety significance determination process (SDP) phase 1 worksheet, because there was no loss of the reactor trip breaker safety function to open on a reactor trip signal. There was no cross-cutting aspect identified with this finding.

Enforcement:

Enforcement action does not apply because the performance deficiency did not involve a violation of a regulatory requirement. Because this finding does not involve a violation of regulatory requirements and has very low safety significance, it is identified as FIN 05000395/20080007-04, Failure to Maintain a Vendor Interface Program.

.5 Review of Permanent Plant Modifications

a. Inspection Scope

The team reviewed two modifications related to the selected risk significant components in detail to verify that the design bases, licensing bases, and performance capability of the components have not been degraded through modifications. The adequacy of design and post modification testing of these modifications was reviewed by performing activities identified in IP 71111.17, Permanent Plant Modifications," Section 02.02.a. Additionally, the team reviewed the modifications in accordance IP 71111.02, "Evaluations of Changes, Tests, or Experiments," to verify the licensee had appropriately evaluated them for 10 CFR 50.59 applicability. The following modifications were reviewed:

  • Parr-Hydro Alternate AC Power Supply
  • Repair component support to provide additional clearance for pressurizer safety valve discharge piping.
