INSPECTION SCOPES | |||
Inspections were conducted using the appropriate portions of the inspection procedures (IPs) in | |||
effect at the beginning of the inspection unless otherwise noted. Currently approved IPs with | |||
their attached revision histories are located on the public website at http://www.nrc.gov/reading- | |||
rm/doc-collections/insp-manual/inspection-procedure/index.html. Samples were declared | |||
complete when the IP requirements most appropriate to the inspection activity were met | |||
consistent with Inspection Manual Chapter (IMC) 2515, Light-Water Reactor Inspection | |||
Program - Operations Phase. The inspectors performed plant status activities described in | |||
IMC 2515 Appendix D, Plant Status and conducted routine reviews using IP 71152, Problem | |||
Identification and Resolution. The inspectors reviewed selected procedures and records, | |||
observed activities, and interviewed personnel to assess licensee performance and compliance | |||
with Commission rules and regulations, license conditions, site procedures, and standards. | |||

indicative of a more significant safety issue. | |||
(1) Semi-Annual Trend (May 2018 through October 2018) on October 29, 2018. | |||
Annual Followup of Selected Issues (1 Sample) | |||
The inspectors reviewed the licensees implementation of its corrective action program | |||
related to the following issues: | |||
(1) Operator Work Arounds (OWAs) to evaluate the licensees implementation of its | |||
program on December 10, 2018. The basis for this review was that OWAs which cannot | |||
be implemented effectively can increase the baseline core damage or large early release | |||
frequency. | |||
OTHER ACTIVITIESTEMPORARY INSTRUCTIONS, INFREQUENT AND ABNORMAL | |||
2702Follow-Up on Traditional Enforcement Actions Including Alternative Dispute Resolution | |||
Confirmatory Orders | |||
The inspectors reviewed documents to determine if adequate corrective actions had been | |||
implemented associated with Confirmatory Order (CO) EA-14-193, NRC Inspection | |||
Report (IR) No. 05000263/2015008 and 07200058/2014001. Specifically, the inspectors | |||
evaluated the corrective actions associated with: | |||
(1) CO Condition V.1: Restoration of Compliance; and | |||
(2) CO Condition V.3: Project Plan Progress and Changes. | |||
INSPECTION RESULTS | |||
Observation 71152 - Semi Annual Trend Review | |||
The inspectors reviewed the licensees corrective action program, during the period of | |||
May 2018 through October 2018, for trends that might be indicative of a more significant | |||
safety issue. During the inspection period, the licensee identified four notable trends: MSIV | |||
packing torque; Fluctuations in Xe133/Xe138 ratio; Rise in Drywell Unidentified Leakrate; and | |||
Main Generator Hydrogen Leakage. As part of routine corrective action program reviews, the | |||
inspectors also noted emerging trends in these areas during the inspection period. | |||
The inspectors performed focused reviews of licensee evaluations for each trend area, | |||
conducted ancillary searches of the corrective action program and held discussions with | |||
licensee management to verify that inputs to these trend evaluations were appropriately | |||
scoped. The inspectors also reviewed interim actions taken by the licensee for each of the | |||
four areas to mitigate the trends until more substantive and final corrective actions were | |||
taken. The inspectors did not identify any concerns with the licensees interim actions during | |||
the inspection period and determined that the scope of each evaluation was appropriate. | |||
In mid-November ongoing licensee evaluation of the main generator hydrogen cooler flange | |||
gasket leakage ultimately led to a forced outage. As part of this outage, licensee | |||
management conservatively decided to de-inert the drywell to further investigate the | |||
increased trend in drywell unidentified leakrate. The inspectors monitored licensee actions to | |||
resolve the hydrogen cooler flange leakage and further investigate the drywell unidentified | |||
leakage. The inspectors did not identify any concerns with the licensees actions. | |||
Observation 71152 - Annual Sample Review | |||
The inspectors reviewed the licensees OWA program since those that cannot be | |||
implemented effectively can increase the baseline core damage or large early release | |||
frequency. Inspector review focused on the period of January 2018 through December 2018 | |||
to verify the licensee identifies OWA issues at an appropriate threshold, entering them in the | |||
corrective action program, and planning or taking appropriate corrective actions. Further, the | |||
inspectors considered plant conditions including the cumulative effects of other OWAs. | |||
Overall, the inspectors evaluation included review of the following Performance Attributes of | |||
Table 1 to Inspection Procedure 71152: Classification/Prioritization; | |||
Complete/Accurate/Timely Documentation; and Corrective Action commensurate with safety | |||
significance. | |||
Specifically, inspectors reviewed the licensees operator work around program which is | |||
documented in fleet procedure FP-OP-OB-01, Operator Burden Program. The licensees | |||
Operator Burden Program is made up of four components: Operator Work Arounds, Operator | |||
Burdens, Operator Challenges and, Control Room Deficiencies. Operator Work Arounds | |||
represent the most severe challenges to safe operation of the plant. Operator Burdens are | |||
the next most severe challenges to the operator. Operator Challenges are impactful on the | |||
day to day operation of the plant but not to the level of an Operator Burden. Finally, Control | |||
Room Deficiencies degrade the performance in the main control. | |||
For calendar year 2018, nuclear safety significant equipment conditions identified in the | |||
licensees corrective action system were sampled and reviewed against criteria established | |||
for the above four classification levels defined in the Operator Burden Program. Inspectors | |||
determined that, for calendar year 2018, the licensee had not identified any nuclear safety | |||
significant equipment issues which met the criteria to be defined as an operator work | |||
around. The last such classification had been identified by the licensee in 2017. Inspector | |||
review noted equipment issues categorized in one of the remaining three lower operator | |||
burden categories had occurred. Inspector review concluded those issues were properly | |||
identified and categorized with FP-OP-OB-01 criteria. Further, the inspectors evaluated the | |||
licensees resolution of operator burden issues and had no concerns. Lastly, the inspectors | |||
noted the licensee keeps operator burden issues visible to site staff and management through | |||
its Plant Status Report which is updated on a daily basis. Inspectors found commensurate | |||
operator burden issue status between the corrective action program and daily plant status | |||
reports. Overall, inspectors determined the licensee appropriately classifies and resolves | |||
equipment issues requiring some form of compensatory operator action. The inspectors did | |||
not identify any concerns with the licensees operator burden program. | |||

The inspectors reviewed the licensees implementation of its corrective action program
related to the following issues:
(1) Operator Work Arounds (OWAs) to evaluate the licensees implementation of its
program on December 10, 2018. The basis for this review was that OWAs which cannot
be implemented effectively can increase the baseline core damage or large early release
frequency.
OTHER ACTIVITIESTEMPORARY INSTRUCTIONS, INFREQUENT AND ABNORMAL
2702Follow-Up on Traditional Enforcement Actions Including Alternative Dispute Resolution
Confirmatory Orders
The inspectors reviewed documents to determine if adequate corrective actions had been
implemented associated with Confirmatory Order (CO) EA-14-193, NRC Inspection
Report (IR) No. 05000263/2015008 and 07200058/2014001. Specifically, the inspectors
evaluated the corrective actions associated with:
(1) CO Condition V.1: Restoration of Compliance; and
(2) CO Condition V.3: Project Plan Progress and Changes.
INSPECTION RESULTS
Observation 71152 - Semi Annual Trend Review
The inspectors reviewed the licensees corrective action program, during the period of
May 2018 through October 2018, for trends that might be indicative of a more significant
safety issue. During the inspection period, the licensee identified four notable trends: MSIV
packing torque; Fluctuations in Xe133/Xe138 ratio; Rise in Drywell Unidentified Leakrate; and
Main Generator Hydrogen Leakage. As part of routine corrective action program reviews, the
inspectors also noted emerging trends in these areas during the inspection period.
The inspectors performed focused reviews of licensee evaluations for each trend area,
conducted ancillary searches of the corrective action program and held discussions with
licensee management to verify that inputs to these trend evaluations were appropriately
scoped. The inspectors also reviewed interim actions taken by the licensee for each of the
four areas to mitigate the trends until more substantive and final corrective actions were
taken. The inspectors did not identify any concerns with the licensees interim actions during
the inspection period and determined that the scope of each evaluation was appropriate.
In mid-November ongoing licensee evaluation of the main generator hydrogen cooler flange
gasket leakage ultimately led to a forced outage. As part of this outage, licensee
management conservatively decided to de-inert the drywell to further investigate the
increased trend in drywell unidentified leakrate. The inspectors monitored licensee actions to
resolve the hydrogen cooler flange leakage and further investigate the drywell unidentified
leakage. The inspectors did not identify any concerns with the licensees actions.
Observation 71152 - Annual Sample Review
The inspectors reviewed the licensees OWA program since those that cannot be
implemented effectively can increase the baseline core damage or large early release
frequency. Inspector review focused on the period of January 2018 through December 2018
to verify the licensee identifies OWA issues at an appropriate threshold, entering them in the
corrective action program, and planning or taking appropriate corrective actions. Further, the
inspectors considered plant conditions including the cumulative effects of other OWAs.
Overall, the inspectors evaluation included review of the following Performance Attributes of
Table 1 to Inspection Procedure 71152: Classification/Prioritization;
Complete/Accurate/Timely Documentation; and Corrective Action commensurate with safety
significance.
Specifically, inspectors reviewed the licensees operator work around program which is
documented in fleet procedure FP-OP-OB-01, Operator Burden Program. The licensees
Operator Burden Program is made up of four components: Operator Work Arounds, Operator
Burdens, Operator Challenges and, Control Room Deficiencies. Operator Work Arounds
represent the most severe challenges to safe operation of the plant. Operator Burdens are
the next most severe challenges to the operator. Operator Challenges are impactful on the
day to day operation of the plant but not to the level of an Operator Burden. Finally, Control
Room Deficiencies degrade the performance in the main control.
For calendar year 2018, nuclear safety significant equipment conditions identified in the
licensees corrective action system were sampled and reviewed against criteria established
for the above four classification levels defined in the Operator Burden Program. Inspectors
determined that, for calendar year 2018, the licensee had not identified any nuclear safety
significant equipment issues which met the criteria to be defined as an operator work
around. The last such classification had been identified by the licensee in 2017. Inspector
review noted equipment issues categorized in one of the remaining three lower operator
burden categories had occurred. Inspector review concluded those issues were properly
identified and categorized with FP-OP-OB-01 criteria. Further, the inspectors evaluated the
licensees resolution of operator burden issues and had no concerns. Lastly, the inspectors
noted the licensee keeps operator burden issues visible to site staff and management through
its Plant Status Report which is updated on a daily basis. Inspectors found commensurate
operator burden issue status between the corrective action program and daily plant status
reports. Overall, inspectors determined the licensee appropriately classifies and resolves
equipment issues requiring some form of compensatory operator action. The inspectors did
not identify any concerns with the licensees operator burden program.
