SUMMARY OF ISSUES IR 05000395/2006007; 03/13-17/2006, 03/27-31/2006; Virgil C. Summer Nuclear Station; Biennial baseline inspection of the problem identification and resolution program. | |||
The inspection was conducted by two Senior Resident Inspectors, a Project Engineer, and a Resident Inspector. One Green finding, which was a non-cited violation, was identified. 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 NRCs program for overseeing the safe operation of commercial nuclear power reactors is described in NUREG-1649, Reactor Oversight Process, Revision 3, dated July 2000. | |||
Identification and Resolution of Problems Overall, the licensee maintained an effective program for the identification and correction of conditions adverse to quality. However, during the inspection, several minor problems were identified. These problems included two cases in which identification of the problem was not complete, accurate, and timely; three cases in which extent-of-condition was not considered; four cases in which corrective actions that were not appropriately focused to correct the problem; and three cases in which corrective actions were not completed in a timely manner commensurate with the safety significance of the issues. The licensee was generally effective at identifying problems at a low threshold and entering them into the Corrective Action Program (CAP). The licensee consistently prioritized issues in accordance with their CAP and routinely performed adequate evaluations that were technically accurate and of sufficient depth. Root cause analyses were performed when appropriate and problem evaluations considered extent of condition and generic implications appropriately. Corrective actions were effective in correcting problems. Management fostered a safety-conscious work environment by emphasizing safe operations and encouraging problem reporting. | |||
A. NRC-Identified and Self-Revealing Findings Cornerstone: Initiating Events Green. A self-revealing, non-cited violation of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion V, Instructions, Procedures, and Drawings, was identified for failure to establish, implement, and maintain adequate maintenance procedures to ensure that the Main Steam Isolation Valves (MSIVs) were capable of performing their safety-related function. | |||
Specifically, maintenance procedure MMP-300.023, Main Steam Isolation Valve Air Actuator Maintenance, was inadequate in that it did not include hot-condition checks of the alignment of the bottom spring plate and stanchion gap tolerances. | |||
This finding is greater than minor because it impacts the equipment performance attribute of the Reactor Safety Mitigating Systems Cornerstone in that the failure of the MSIV to close affects the reliability and availability of that valve. This finding was determined to be of very low safety significance because the valve did go closed within a relatively short time, and because the effects of the failure of a single MSIV to close are bounded by accident analysis assumptions. (Section 4OA2 c.(2).2) | |||
B. Licensee-Identified Violation None Enclosure | |||
Report Details 4. OTHER ACTIVITIES 4OA2 Identification and Resolution of Problems a. Effectiveness of Problem Identification (1) Inspection Scope The team reviewed items selected across the three strategic performance areas (reactor safety, radiation safety, and physical protection) to verify that problems were being properly identified, appropriately characterized, and entered into the Corrective Action Program (CAP) for evaluation and resolution. The team reviewed program documents including Revision 0 of Station Administrative Procedure (SAP)-999, Corrective Action Program, which described the administrative process for documenting and resolving problems. The team also reviewed other program documents including SAP-1356, Cause Determination, Revision 1, and SAP-1351, Operating Experience Program, Revision 4. | |||
The team attended the licensees daily management review team meetings March 13 - | |||
16 and March 27 - 30, to gauge the effectiveness of the screening process in ensuring that problems were properly captured in the licensees Condition Evaluation Report (CER) database. The team also listened to daily CER review team phone calls on March 13 - 16, March 27, March 28, and March 30, to determine whether identified problems were properly characterized and prioritized. | |||
The team reviewed a sampling of CERs that had been generated or closed since May 2004, and focused on CERs associated with systems that ranked high on the licensees risk-significance list. For the team, the licensee conducted several computer database searches and sorts to identify the specific attributes associated with the issues identified and documented in the CAP. Those sorts included CERs issued during the past two refueling outages, CERs that described failures of in-service or Technical Specification (TS) surveillance tests since May 2004, operating experience items initiated since May 2004, and CERs that described the evaluations of and corrective actions taken for NRC-identified findings since May 2004. | |||
The team reviewed plant equipment issues associated with maintenance rule (a)(1) | |||
items, functional failures, maintenance preventable functional failures (MPFFs), and repetitive MPFFs, to verify that maintenance rule equipment deficiencies were being appropriately entered into the CAP. | |||
The team toured the plant, including portions of the intermediate building, the auxiliary building, the service water pumphouse, the control room, and the diesel generator building to determine whether equipment and material condition problems were being identified. | |||
Enclosure | |||
While in the control room, the team reviewed the equipment removal and restoration logbook (all open items), and the logbook of open control room discrepancies to determine if problems potentially affecting safe plant operations were properly entered into the CAP process. | |||
In addition, the team reviewed the Nonconformance Control and Corrective Actions Audit dated 3/2/05, the Corrective Action Program Self-Assessment dated October 11-14, 2004, and the CERs generated as a result of these audits, which included CERs 0-C-06-0090, 0-C-05-0457, 0-C-05-0458, and 0-C-05-0459. The team evaluated the assessments effectiveness in identifying problems in the CAP process and compared the results of the licensees efforts with the teams findings and observations. | |||
The team reviewed the industry OE program through review of SAP-1351, Revision 4, Operating Experience Program, and interviews with key personnel in the Organization Development & Performance (OD&P) and Nuclear Licensing (NL) departments. Several NRC generic communications were selected to determine if the licensee had screened these items into the CAP by documenting them with a CER. In addition, general review of the CER documentation was performed for selected CERs. | |||
Documents reviewed are listed in the Attachment. | |||
(2) Assessment The team concluded that site personnel were appropriately generating CERs as required by the licensees program. | |||
From the review of CERs associated with maintenance rule items and previously issued non-cited violations (NCVs), the team determined that site personnel were appropriately documenting maintenance rule problems in the licensees CAP process. Maintenance rule evaluations performed using attachments in procedure ES-514, Maintenance Rule Implementation, were appropriately attached to the associated CER in the Problem Identification Program (PIP) database. | |||
The team identified no significant differences between the corrective action process samples reviewed during this inspection and the licensees self-assessments and audits that were related to the effectiveness of the licensees corrective action process. | |||
Therefore, the team concluded that the self-assessments and audits performed by the licensee were effective in identifying issues, and that deficiencies were appropriately entered into the corrective action process. | |||
The team noted that SAP-1351, Operating Experience Program, Revision 4, sufficiently detailed a process to screen industry operating experience (OE). Industry OE items were routinely reviewed by the licensees OD&P department and the dispositions of the items were recorded in an OE log. | |||
Enclosure | |||
The team identified the following two cases in which identification of the problem was not complete and accurate: | |||
* When CER 0-C-04-790 was initiated on 3/19/04 for Maintenance Rule tracking purposes to provide the 60-day completion of the functional failure evaluation of the failure of a level switch that had occurred on 1/21/04, the licensee did not identify the delay in initiating the CER as a problem. | |||
* When CER 0-C-04-791 was initiated on 3/19/04 for Maintenance Rule tracking purposes to provide the 60-day completion of the functional failure evaluation of the failure of a level switch that had occurred on 1/28/04, the licensee did not identify the delay in initiating the CER as a problem. | |||
For these same two cases, the team considered that identification of the problem was not timely, because: | |||
* CER 0-C-04-790 was initiated on 3/19/04 for a failure that had occurred on 1/21/04. | |||
* CER 0-C-04-791 was initiated on 3/19/04 for a failure that had occurred on 1/28/04. | |||
b. Prioritization and Evaluation of Issues (1) Inspection Scope The team reviewed a sample of corrective action documents to determine if the licensee appropriately prioritized and evaluated various issues being entered into the CAP. A sample of corrective action documents were selected from the various cornerstones with a focus on issues related to higher risk significant plant systems. | |||
The team reviewed selected CERs, including those associated with industry operating experience issues and nonconformance notices, to determine whether site personnel conducted reviews for generic implications, repetitive conditions, and common-cause failure mode determinations when the condition warranted. | |||
The team attended the licensees daily management review team meetings March 13 - | |||
16 and March 27 - 30, to determine the level of management attention that problems received. The team also listened to daily CER review team phone calls on March 13 - | |||
16, March 27, March 28, and March 30, to determine whether identified problems were properly characterized and prioritized. | |||
Documents reviewed are listed in the Attachment. | |||
(2) Assessment The team determined that the licensee was effective in prioritizing and evaluating issues commensurate with their safety significance. | |||
Enclosure | |||
The team concluded that the licensees problem evaluations appropriately considered extent of condition and generic implications, and operability and reportability of issues were appropriately evaluated and resolved. At the various management meetings, the team observed that the specific issues identified in CERs received a level of discussion commensurate with their safety significance. The team also concluded that root cause analyses were being performed when appropriate. | |||
The team identified the following three cases in which extent of condition was not considered: | |||
* CER 0-C-05-4593 described evaluation of an operating-experience item that showed that failure of a potential transformer in a voltage regulator could cause an over-voltage condition that could affect safety-related components connected to the affected bus. In this evaluation, the licensee did not evaluate the vulnerability of safety-related equipment to the effects of a similar failure at the V.C. Summer station. | |||
* CERs 0-C-05-4301 and 0-C-05-1997 described evaluation of the discovery of mud and sludge coming out of a sample valve in the cooling system of an emergency diesel generator. In this evaluation, the licensees historical search of related issues failed to identify one previous occurrence. | |||
* CER 0-C-05-4440 described evaluation of an operating experience item regarding a phenomenon called tin whiskering in safety-related circuits. In this case, the licensee took no action to assess the possible effects of tin whiskering in systems other than the solid-state protection system, despite vendor recommendations to assess all applications that could be vulnerable to the phenomenon. | |||
In addition, the team identified the following two cases in which root and contributing causes were not identified: | |||
* CER 0-C-05-3144 describes an issue related to returning safety-related valves to service following diagnostic testing with unacceptable results. However, this CER did not describe an evaluation and did not identify any cause; instead, the evaluation section of the CER described a proposed corrective action, but provided no related basis. | |||
* CER 0-C-05-0457 describes an audit-identified finding of a weakness in the licensees root-cause analysis process. The evaluation section of this CER did not identify any root or contributing causes. | |||
c. Effectiveness of Corrective Actions (1) Inspection Scope The team reviewed the CERs listed in the Attachment to verify that the licensee had identified and implemented corrective actions commensurate with the safety significance Enclosure | |||
of the documented issues, and where possible, evaluated the effectiveness of the actions taken. The team also verified that common causes and generic concerns were addressed where appropriate. In addition, the teams reviewed CERs associated with previous NCVs to assess the adequacy of corrective actions. | |||
Documents reviewed are listed in the Attachment. | |||
(2) Assessment | |||
.1 General Observations From the CER reviews, the team determined that the licensees corrective actions were effective in correcting problems. Management involvement in the Corrective Action Review Board (CARB) process was also considered to be effective. The team also concluded that corrective actions for previous NCVs were adequate. | |||
The team identified the following four corrective actions as not appropriately focused to correct the problem: | |||
* In CER 0-C-06-0090, sequence 1, the corrective action to improve proper application of CER action level codes was to discuss the proper application of CER action levels and CER categories with the Unit Evaluators and Management Review Team members at the combined CER review team and Management Review Team meeting held on February 8, 2006. The inspection team considered this corrective action to be not appropriately focused to correct the problem because it was a one-time action that was not made part of a process that would provide periodic reinforcement and accountability. | |||
* In CER 0-C-06-0090, sequence 1, the corrective action to improve departmental trending efforts was for the site Vice President task departmental managers to provide departmental trends for their areas at the next Plant Challenge meeting. | |||
The inspection team considered this corrective action to be not appropriately focused to correct the problem because it was a one-time action that was not made part of a process that would provide periodic reinforcement and accountability. | |||
* In CER 0-C-06-0090, sequence 1, the corrective action to improve assignment of unit evaluators was to use the teleconference conference system for the CER review team meetings and for unit evaluators to receive reinforcement from senior management. The inspection team considered this corrective action to be not appropriately focused to correct the problem because it was not made part of a process that would provide periodic reinforcement and accountability. | |||
* In CER 0-C-05-4440, the licensees corrective actions were not appropriately focused to correct the problem of tin whiskering in safety-related circuits because the licensee did not initiate a preventive-maintenance task to clean and inspect installed circuit cards and in-stock spares on a regular basis, despite a vendor Enclosure | |||
recommendation to do so. In this case, the licensee deviated from a vendor-recommended practice with no documented basis. | |||
In addition, the team identified the following three cases in which corrective actions were not completed in a timely manner commensurate with the safety significance of the issue: | |||
* CERs 0-C-01-0403 and 0-C-04-0741 described a nonconforming condition in which a pipe clamp on a pipe in the component cooling water system (a safety-related system) was making contact with a nearby piece of structural steel. This issue was identified in CER 0-C-01-0403 on 3/21/01 and was resolved under CER 0-C-04-0741 on 5/11/05. In the process, CER 0-C-01-0403 remained open for 1111 days, and CER 0-C-04-0741 remained open 540 days. Disregarding the overlap between CER 0-C-01-0403 and CER 0-C-04-0741, this nonconforming condition was corrected 1512 days after it was first identified. | |||
* In CER 0-C-05-4400, the evaluation of tin whiskering in safety-related circuits was completed approximately ten months after the related operating experience report was received. | |||
* In CER 0-C-04-1064, the corrective action to replace components used to maintain the temperature of the diesel-driven fire pump warm during cold environmental conditions was completed 473 days after the condition was identified. | |||

.2 Inadequate Maintenance Procedures to Repair Main Steam Isolation Valves Introduction: A self-revealing Green non-cited violation (NCV) was identified for failing to establish, implement, and maintain adequate maintenance procedures to ensure that the Main Steam Isolation Valves (MSIVs) were capable of performing their safety-related function. Specifically, maintenance procedure MMP-300.023, Main Steam Isolation Valve Air Actuator Maintenance, was inadequate in that it did not include hot-condition checks of the alignment of the bottom spring plate and stanchion gap tolerances. This inadequacy resulted in the failure of XVM02801B-MS, B Main Steam Isolation Valve, to go fully closed. | |||
Description: On December 7, 2004, in Mode 2 during a forced plant shutdown due to a steam line break on the high-pressure main turbine, MSIV XVM02801B-MS failed to fully close the first five times that control room operators attempted to close the valve from the Main Control Board (MCB). Those attempts resulted in the valve indicating mid-position both locally and on the MCB. On the sixth attempt, the valve went fully closed. | |||
Subsequent investigation and root cause analysis determined that misalignment of the bottom spring plate with the yoke (stanchion) rods had caused increased friction and binding which prevented the valve from fully closing. The misalignment was attributed to thermal expansion tolerance changes and the wear of brass tipped adjustment pins which hold the bottom spring plate away from the stanchion rods. The licensees corrective action to prevent recurrence was to initiate a preventive-maintenance task sheet to ensure the alignment of the bottom spring plate and stanchion gap tolerances Enclosure | |||
of the valve during hot conditions coming out of a refueling outage or after maintenance. | |||
The licensee also enhanced maintenance procedure MMP-300.023, Main Steam Isolation Valve Air Actuator Maintenance, to include guidance for conducting hot-condition tolerance and set-up of the bottom spring plate and stanchions. | |||
condition tolerance and set-up of the bottom spring plate and stanchions | |||
Analysis: The inoperability of valve XVM02801B-MS resulted from the performance deficiency of not including adequate instructions in procedure MMP-300.023. The finding is considered greater than minor because it had a direct impact on the MSIV to perform its safety-related function, which is to close during a high-energy line break or steam generator tube rupture. This finding impacts the equipment performance attribute of the Reactor Safety Mitigating Systems Cornerstone in that the failure of the MSIV to close affects the reliability and availability of that valve. This finding was determined to be of very low safety significance because the valve did go closed on the sixth attempt, and failure of a single MSIV to close is within the accident analysis assumptions. | |||
Enforcement: 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion V, Instructions, Procedures and Drawings, requires that all activities affecting quality be prescribed by documented instructions, procedures, or drawings of a type appropriate to the circumstances and shall be accomplished in accordance with these instructions, procedures, or drawings. | |||
Methods available to encourage problem reporting included CERs, maintenance work requests, and the ECP. Interviews with licensee staff did not identify any reluctance to report safety concerns. | Criterion V further requires that instructions, procedures, or drawings include appropriate quantitative or qualitative acceptance criteria for determining that important activities have been satisfactorily accomplished. Contrary to the above, the licensee failed to establish, implement, and maintain adequate maintenance procedures to ensure that the Main Steam Isolation Valves (MSIVs) were capable of performing their safety-related function, in that maintenance procedure MMP-300.023, Main Steam Isolation Valve Air Actuator Maintenance, was inadequate because it did not include hot-condition checks of the alignment of the bottom spring plate and stanchion gap tolerances. Because this finding was determined to be of very low safety significance (Green) and the licensee has entered this issue into their corrective action program as CER 0-C-06-1110, this violation is being treated as a non-cited violation (NCV), | ||
consistent with Section VI.A of the NRCs Enforcement Policy, and has been designated NCV 06000395/2006007-01, Failure to Use Adequate Maintenance Procedures to Inspect and Repair Main Steam Isolation Valves. | |||
d. Assessment of Safety-Conscious Work Environment (1) Inspection Scope The team informally interviewed licensee personnel to develop a general view of the safety-conscious work environment and to determine if any conditions existed that would cause workers to be reluctant to raise safety concerns. The team also discussed issues with the current Senior Resident Inspector (assigned since 2004) to gain his perspective on the site safety-conscious work environment. The team also reviewed the licensees employee concerns program (ECP), which provides an alternate method to the CER process for employees to raise safety concerns with the option of remaining anonymous. | |||
Enclosure | |||
(2) Assessment The team concluded that licensee management generally fostered a safety-conscious work environment by emphasizing safe operations and encouraging problem reporting. | |||
Methods available to encourage problem reporting included CERs, maintenance work requests, and the ECP. Interviews with licensee staff did not identify any reluctance to report safety concerns. | |||
4OA6 Meetings Exit Meeting Summary The team presented the inspection results to Mr. and other members of licensee management at the conclusion of the inspection on March 31, 2006. | |||
The team asked the licensee whether any of the material examined during the inspection should be considered proprietary. No proprietary information was identified. | |||

SUBJECT:
VIRGIL C. SUMMER NUCLEAR STATION - NRC PROBLEM IDENTIFICATION AND RESOLUTION INSPECTION REPORT 05000395/2006007
Dear Mr. Archie:
On March 31, 2006, the United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed an inspection at your Virgil C. Summer Nuclear Station. The enclosed report documents the inspection findings which were discussed on March 31, 2006, with you and other members of your staff.
The inspection was an examination of activities conducted under your license as they relate to the identification and resolution of problems, compliance with the Commissions rules and regulations, and the conditions of your operating license. Within these areas, the inspection involved selected examination of procedures and representative records, observations of activities, and interviews with personnel.
On the basis of the samples selected for review, the team concluded that generally problems were properly identified, evaluated, and corrected. One finding of very low safety significance (Green) was identified during this inspection associated with repairing Main Steam Isolation Valves.

SUMMARY OF ISSUES IR 05000395/2006007; 03/13-17/2006, 03/27-31/2006; Virgil C. Summer Nuclear Station; Biennial baseline inspection of the problem identification and resolution program.
The inspection was conducted by two Senior Resident Inspectors, a Project Engineer, and a Resident Inspector. One Green finding, which was a non-cited violation, was identified. 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 NRCs program for overseeing the safe operation of commercial nuclear power reactors is described in NUREG-1649, Reactor Oversight Process, Revision 3, dated July 2000.
Identification and Resolution of Problems Overall, the licensee maintained an effective program for the identification and correction of conditions adverse to quality. However, during the inspection, several minor problems were identified. These problems included two cases in which identification of the problem was not complete, accurate, and timely; three cases in which extent-of-condition was not considered; four cases in which corrective actions that were not appropriately focused to correct the problem; and three cases in which corrective actions were not completed in a timely manner commensurate with the safety significance of the issues. The licensee was generally effective at identifying problems at a low threshold and entering them into the Corrective Action Program (CAP). The licensee consistently prioritized issues in accordance with their CAP and routinely performed adequate evaluations that were technically accurate and of sufficient depth. Root cause analyses were performed when appropriate and problem evaluations considered extent of condition and generic implications appropriately. Corrective actions were effective in correcting problems. Management fostered a safety-conscious work environment by emphasizing safe operations and encouraging problem reporting.
A. NRC-Identified and Self-Revealing Findings Cornerstone: Initiating Events Green. A self-revealing, non-cited violation of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion V, Instructions, Procedures, and Drawings, was identified for failure to establish, implement, and maintain adequate maintenance procedures to ensure that the Main Steam Isolation Valves (MSIVs) were capable of performing their safety-related function.
Specifically, maintenance procedure MMP-300.023, Main Steam Isolation Valve Air Actuator Maintenance, was inadequate in that it did not include hot-condition checks of the alignment of the bottom spring plate and stanchion gap tolerances.
This finding is greater than minor because it impacts the equipment performance attribute of the Reactor Safety Mitigating Systems Cornerstone in that the failure of the MSIV to close affects the reliability and availability of that valve. This finding was determined to be of very low safety significance because the valve did go closed within a relatively short time, and because the effects of the failure of a single MSIV to close are bounded by accident analysis assumptions. (Section 4OA2 c.(2).2)
B. Licensee-Identified Violation None Enclosure
Report Details 4. OTHER ACTIVITIES 4OA2 Identification and Resolution of Problems a. Effectiveness of Problem Identification (1) Inspection Scope The team reviewed items selected across the three strategic performance areas (reactor safety, radiation safety, and physical protection) to verify that problems were being properly identified, appropriately characterized, and entered into the Corrective Action Program (CAP) for evaluation and resolution. The team reviewed program documents including Revision 0 of Station Administrative Procedure (SAP)-999, Corrective Action Program, which described the administrative process for documenting and resolving problems. The team also reviewed other program documents including SAP-1356, Cause Determination, Revision 1, and SAP-1351, Operating Experience Program, Revision 4.
The team attended the licensees daily management review team meetings March 13 -
16 and March 27 - 30, to gauge the effectiveness of the screening process in ensuring that problems were properly captured in the licensees Condition Evaluation Report (CER) database. The team also listened to daily CER review team phone calls on March 13 - 16, March 27, March 28, and March 30, to determine whether identified problems were properly characterized and prioritized.
The team reviewed a sampling of CERs that had been generated or closed since May 2004, and focused on CERs associated with systems that ranked high on the licensees risk-significance list. For the team, the licensee conducted several computer database searches and sorts to identify the specific attributes associated with the issues identified and documented in the CAP. Those sorts included CERs issued during the past two refueling outages, CERs that described failures of in-service or Technical Specification (TS) surveillance tests since May 2004, operating experience items initiated since May 2004, and CERs that described the evaluations of and corrective actions taken for NRC-identified findings since May 2004.
The team reviewed plant equipment issues associated with maintenance rule (a)(1)
items, functional failures, maintenance preventable functional failures (MPFFs), and repetitive MPFFs, to verify that maintenance rule equipment deficiencies were being appropriately entered into the CAP.
The team toured the plant, including portions of the intermediate building, the auxiliary building, the service water pumphouse, the control room, and the diesel generator building to determine whether equipment and material condition problems were being identified.
Enclosure
While in the control room, the team reviewed the equipment removal and restoration logbook (all open items), and the logbook of open control room discrepancies to determine if problems potentially affecting safe plant operations were properly entered into the CAP process.
In addition, the team reviewed the Nonconformance Control and Corrective Actions Audit dated 3/2/05, the Corrective Action Program Self-Assessment dated October 11-14, 2004, and the CERs generated as a result of these audits, which included CERs 0-C-06-0090, 0-C-05-0457, 0-C-05-0458, and 0-C-05-0459. The team evaluated the assessments effectiveness in identifying problems in the CAP process and compared the results of the licensees efforts with the teams findings and observations.
The team reviewed the industry OE program through review of SAP-1351, Revision 4, Operating Experience Program, and interviews with key personnel in the Organization Development & Performance (OD&P) and Nuclear Licensing (NL) departments. Several NRC generic communications were selected to determine if the licensee had screened these items into the CAP by documenting them with a CER. In addition, general review of the CER documentation was performed for selected CERs.
Documents reviewed are listed in the Attachment.
(2) Assessment The team concluded that site personnel were appropriately generating CERs as required by the licensees program.
From the review of CERs associated with maintenance rule items and previously issued non-cited violations (NCVs), the team determined that site personnel were appropriately documenting maintenance rule problems in the licensees CAP process. Maintenance rule evaluations performed using attachments in procedure ES-514, Maintenance Rule Implementation, were appropriately attached to the associated CER in the Problem Identification Program (PIP) database.
The team identified no significant differences between the corrective action process samples reviewed during this inspection and the licensees self-assessments and audits that were related to the effectiveness of the licensees corrective action process.
Therefore, the team concluded that the self-assessments and audits performed by the licensee were effective in identifying issues, and that deficiencies were appropriately entered into the corrective action process.
The team noted that SAP-1351, Operating Experience Program, Revision 4, sufficiently detailed a process to screen industry operating experience (OE). Industry OE items were routinely reviewed by the licensees OD&P department and the dispositions of the items were recorded in an OE log.
Enclosure
The team identified the following two cases in which identification of the problem was not complete and accurate:
- When CER 0-C-04-790 was initiated on 3/19/04 for Maintenance Rule tracking purposes to provide the 60-day completion of the functional failure evaluation of the failure of a level switch that had occurred on 1/21/04, the licensee did not identify the delay in initiating the CER as a problem.
- When CER 0-C-04-791 was initiated on 3/19/04 for Maintenance Rule tracking purposes to provide the 60-day completion of the functional failure evaluation of the failure of a level switch that had occurred on 1/28/04, the licensee did not identify the delay in initiating the CER as a problem.
For these same two cases, the team considered that identification of the problem was not timely, because:
- CER 0-C-04-790 was initiated on 3/19/04 for a failure that had occurred on 1/21/04.
- CER 0-C-04-791 was initiated on 3/19/04 for a failure that had occurred on 1/28/04.
b. Prioritization and Evaluation of Issues (1) Inspection Scope The team reviewed a sample of corrective action documents to determine if the licensee appropriately prioritized and evaluated various issues being entered into the CAP. A sample of corrective action documents were selected from the various cornerstones with a focus on issues related to higher risk significant plant systems.
The team reviewed selected CERs, including those associated with industry operating experience issues and nonconformance notices, to determine whether site personnel conducted reviews for generic implications, repetitive conditions, and common-cause failure mode determinations when the condition warranted.
The team attended the licensees daily management review team meetings March 13 -
16 and March 27 - 30, to determine the level of management attention that problems received. The team also listened to daily CER review team phone calls on March 13 -
16, March 27, March 28, and March 30, to determine whether identified problems were properly characterized and prioritized.
Documents reviewed are listed in the Attachment.
(2) Assessment The team determined that the licensee was effective in prioritizing and evaluating issues commensurate with their safety significance.
Enclosure
The team concluded that the licensees problem evaluations appropriately considered extent of condition and generic implications, and operability and reportability of issues were appropriately evaluated and resolved. At the various management meetings, the team observed that the specific issues identified in CERs received a level of discussion commensurate with their safety significance. The team also concluded that root cause analyses were being performed when appropriate.
The team identified the following three cases in which extent of condition was not considered:
- CER 0-C-05-4593 described evaluation of an operating-experience item that showed that failure of a potential transformer in a voltage regulator could cause an over-voltage condition that could affect safety-related components connected to the affected bus. In this evaluation, the licensee did not evaluate the vulnerability of safety-related equipment to the effects of a similar failure at the V.C. Summer station.
- CERs 0-C-05-4301 and 0-C-05-1997 described evaluation of the discovery of mud and sludge coming out of a sample valve in the cooling system of an emergency diesel generator. In this evaluation, the licensees historical search of related issues failed to identify one previous occurrence.
- CER 0-C-05-4440 described evaluation of an operating experience item regarding a phenomenon called tin whiskering in safety-related circuits. In this case, the licensee took no action to assess the possible effects of tin whiskering in systems other than the solid-state protection system, despite vendor recommendations to assess all applications that could be vulnerable to the phenomenon.
In addition, the team identified the following two cases in which root and contributing causes were not identified:
- CER 0-C-05-3144 describes an issue related to returning safety-related valves to service following diagnostic testing with unacceptable results. However, this CER did not describe an evaluation and did not identify any cause; instead, the evaluation section of the CER described a proposed corrective action, but provided no related basis.
- CER 0-C-05-0457 describes an audit-identified finding of a weakness in the licensees root-cause analysis process. The evaluation section of this CER did not identify any root or contributing causes.
c. Effectiveness of Corrective Actions (1) Inspection Scope The team reviewed the CERs listed in the Attachment to verify that the licensee had identified and implemented corrective actions commensurate with the safety significance Enclosure
of the documented issues, and where possible, evaluated the effectiveness of the actions taken. The team also verified that common causes and generic concerns were addressed where appropriate. In addition, the teams reviewed CERs associated with previous NCVs to assess the adequacy of corrective actions.
Documents reviewed are listed in the Attachment.
(2) Assessment
.1 General Observations From the CER reviews, the team determined that the licensees corrective actions were effective in correcting problems. Management involvement in the Corrective Action Review Board (CARB) process was also considered to be effective. The team also concluded that corrective actions for previous NCVs were adequate.
The team identified the following four corrective actions as not appropriately focused to correct the problem:
- In CER 0-C-06-0090, sequence 1, the corrective action to improve proper application of CER action level codes was to discuss the proper application of CER action levels and CER categories with the Unit Evaluators and Management Review Team members at the combined CER review team and Management Review Team meeting held on February 8, 2006. The inspection team considered this corrective action to be not appropriately focused to correct the problem because it was a one-time action that was not made part of a process that would provide periodic reinforcement and accountability.
- In CER 0-C-06-0090, sequence 1, the corrective action to improve departmental trending efforts was for the site Vice President task departmental managers to provide departmental trends for their areas at the next Plant Challenge meeting.
The inspection team considered this corrective action to be not appropriately focused to correct the problem because it was a one-time action that was not made part of a process that would provide periodic reinforcement and accountability.
- In CER 0-C-06-0090, sequence 1, the corrective action to improve assignment of unit evaluators was to use the teleconference conference system for the CER review team meetings and for unit evaluators to receive reinforcement from senior management. The inspection team considered this corrective action to be not appropriately focused to correct the problem because it was not made part of a process that would provide periodic reinforcement and accountability.
- In CER 0-C-05-4440, the licensees corrective actions were not appropriately focused to correct the problem of tin whiskering in safety-related circuits because the licensee did not initiate a preventive-maintenance task to clean and inspect installed circuit cards and in-stock spares on a regular basis, despite a vendor Enclosure
recommendation to do so. In this case, the licensee deviated from a vendor-recommended practice with no documented basis.
In addition, the team identified the following three cases in which corrective actions were not completed in a timely manner commensurate with the safety significance of the issue:
- CERs 0-C-01-0403 and 0-C-04-0741 described a nonconforming condition in which a pipe clamp on a pipe in the component cooling water system (a safety-related system) was making contact with a nearby piece of structural steel. This issue was identified in CER 0-C-01-0403 on 3/21/01 and was resolved under CER 0-C-04-0741 on 5/11/05. In the process, CER 0-C-01-0403 remained open for 1111 days, and CER 0-C-04-0741 remained open 540 days. Disregarding the overlap between CER 0-C-01-0403 and CER 0-C-04-0741, this nonconforming condition was corrected 1512 days after it was first identified.

.2 Inadequate Maintenance Procedures to Repair Main Steam Isolation Valves Introduction: A self-revealing Green non-cited violation (NCV) was identified for failing to establish, implement, and maintain adequate maintenance procedures to ensure that the Main Steam Isolation Valves (MSIVs) were capable of performing their safety-related function. Specifically, maintenance procedure MMP-300.023, Main Steam Isolation Valve Air Actuator Maintenance, was inadequate in that it did not include hot-condition checks of the alignment of the bottom spring plate and stanchion gap tolerances. This inadequacy resulted in the failure of XVM02801B-MS, B Main Steam Isolation Valve, to go fully closed.
Description: On December 7, 2004, in Mode 2 during a forced plant shutdown due to a steam line break on the high-pressure main turbine, MSIV XVM02801B-MS failed to fully close the first five times that control room operators attempted to close the valve from the Main Control Board (MCB). Those attempts resulted in the valve indicating mid-position both locally and on the MCB. On the sixth attempt, the valve went fully closed.
Subsequent investigation and root cause analysis determined that misalignment of the bottom spring plate with the yoke (stanchion) rods had caused increased friction and binding which prevented the valve from fully closing. The misalignment was attributed to thermal expansion tolerance changes and the wear of brass tipped adjustment pins which hold the bottom spring plate away from the stanchion rods. The licensees corrective action to prevent recurrence was to initiate a preventive-maintenance task sheet to ensure the alignment of the bottom spring plate and stanchion gap tolerances Enclosure
of the valve during hot conditions coming out of a refueling outage or after maintenance.
The licensee also enhanced maintenance procedure MMP-300.023, Main Steam Isolation Valve Air Actuator Maintenance, to include guidance for conducting hot-condition tolerance and set-up of the bottom spring plate and stanchions.
Analysis: The inoperability of valve XVM02801B-MS resulted from the performance deficiency of not including adequate instructions in procedure MMP-300.023. The finding is considered greater than minor because it had a direct impact on the MSIV to perform its safety-related function, which is to close during a high-energy line break or steam generator tube rupture. This finding impacts the equipment performance attribute of the Reactor Safety Mitigating Systems Cornerstone in that the failure of the MSIV to close affects the reliability and availability of that valve. This finding was determined to be of very low safety significance because the valve did go closed on the sixth attempt, and failure of a single MSIV to close is within the accident analysis assumptions.
Enforcement: 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion V, Instructions, Procedures and Drawings, requires that all activities affecting quality be prescribed by documented instructions, procedures, or drawings of a type appropriate to the circumstances and shall be accomplished in accordance with these instructions, procedures, or drawings.
Criterion V further requires that instructions, procedures, or drawings include appropriate quantitative or qualitative acceptance criteria for determining that important activities have been satisfactorily accomplished. Contrary to the above, the licensee failed to establish, implement, and maintain adequate maintenance procedures to ensure that the Main Steam Isolation Valves (MSIVs) were capable of performing their safety-related function, in that maintenance procedure MMP-300.023, Main Steam Isolation Valve Air Actuator Maintenance, was inadequate because it did not include hot-condition checks of the alignment of the bottom spring plate and stanchion gap tolerances. Because this finding was determined to be of very low safety significance (Green) and the licensee has entered this issue into their corrective action program as CER 0-C-06-1110, this violation is being treated as a non-cited violation (NCV),
consistent with Section VI.A of the NRCs Enforcement Policy, and has been designated NCV 06000395/2006007-01, Failure to Use Adequate Maintenance Procedures to Inspect and Repair Main Steam Isolation Valves.
d. Assessment of Safety-Conscious Work Environment (1) Inspection Scope The team informally interviewed licensee personnel to develop a general view of the safety-conscious work environment and to determine if any conditions existed that would cause workers to be reluctant to raise safety concerns. The team also discussed issues with the current Senior Resident Inspector (assigned since 2004) to gain his perspective on the site safety-conscious work environment. The team also reviewed the licensees employee concerns program (ECP), which provides an alternate method to the CER process for employees to raise safety concerns with the option of remaining anonymous.
Enclosure
(2) Assessment The team concluded that licensee management generally fostered a safety-conscious work environment by emphasizing safe operations and encouraging problem reporting.
Methods available to encourage problem reporting included CERs, maintenance work requests, and the ECP. Interviews with licensee staff did not identify any reluctance to report safety concerns.
4OA6 Meetings Exit Meeting Summary The team presented the inspection results to Mr. and other members of licensee management at the conclusion of the inspection on March 31, 2006.
The team asked the licensee whether any of the material examined during the inspection should be considered proprietary. No proprietary information was identified.
