ERRATADAVIS-BESSE NUCLEAR POWER STATIONNRC INTEGRATED INSPECTION REPORT 05000346/2018002


,
==Dear Mr. Bezilla:==
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) identified administrative errors in NRC Inspection Report 05000346/2018002 dated August 10, 2018 (ADAMS Accession Number ML18222A345). Specifically, the Sections entitled 71114.02 - Alert and Notification System Testing, 71114.03 - Emergency Response Organization Staffing and Augmentation System, and 71114.05 - Maintenance of Emergency Preparedness were erroneously omitted from the report. These inspection samples were performed during the time period documented in the report. As a result, the NRC has reissued the report in its entirety with these Sections added to correct the errors.

PLANT STATUS
The unit remained at or near rated thermal power for the entirety of the inspection period.
On March 28, 2018, FirstEnergy Solutions (FES) / FirstEnergy Nuclear Operating
Company (FENOC) verbally notified the Nuclear Regulatory Commission that they intended to
shut down all four of their operating nuclear power plants. Based on that notification, the first to
shut down will be Davis-Besse, by May 31, 2020. On March 31, 2018, FES, FirstEnergy
Nuclear Generation (FENGEN), and FENOC filed for bankruptcy. The Nuclear Regulatory
Commission continues to maintain focus on public health and safety and the protection of the
environment. This will include a continuous evaluation by inspectors to determine whether the
licensees financial condition is impacting safe operation of the plant.
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-

Evaluation of Davis-Besse Safety Condition in Light of Financial Conditions
The licensees parent company, FirstEnergy Solutions, was under bankruptcy
protection/reorganization during the inspection period. As such, NRC Region III conducted
special reviews of processes at Davis-Besse. Using the flexibilities in the baseline inspection
program, the inspectors evaluated several aspects of the licensees operations to assess
whether any identified plant performance issues could be related to the stations financial
condition. The factors reviewed included: (1) impact on regulatory-required plant staffing,
(2) corrective maintenance backlog, (3) changes to the planned maintenance schedule,
(4) corrective action program implementation, and (5) reduction in outage scope, including
risk-significant modifications. In particular, the inspectors verified that licensee personnel
continued to identify problems at an appropriate threshold and enter these problems into the
corrective action program for resolution. The inspectors also verified that the licensee continued
to develop and implement corrective actions commensurate with the safety significance of the
problems identified.
The review of processes at Davis-Besse included continuous reviews by the Resident
Inspectors, as well as the specialist-led baseline inspections completed during the inspection
period which are documented previously in this report.

CR-2018-03036: Misposition of Make Up Filter 1
Outlet Isolation (MU 177)
On March 31, 2018, while placing makeup system filter 1 in service using DB-OP-06006,
Makeup and Purification System, Revision 42, the licensee received two unexpected alarms:
Letdown or MU [make-up] Filter dP [differential pressure] Hi followed by Letdown Pressure
Hi. The licensee immediately opened MU12B, the Makeup Filter 2 Inlet Isolation, to establish
letdown flow. During this time the letdown relief valve lifted and reseated, diverting
approximately six gallons of water to the reactor coolant drain tank.
Through the investigation of the issue, the licensee found MU177, the Make-Up Filter 1 Outlet
Isolation valve, had not been opened on March 30, 2018, as required by Step 4.9.16.j of
DB-OP-06006. The licensees corrective actions included operator remediation, a
requirement to have shiftly engagement calls with Operations Management, and
reinforcement of the value of reverse briefs by operators as a human performance tool. This
issue was documented in CR-2018-03036, Disposition of Make-Up Filter 1 Outlet
Isolation (MU177).
As appropriate, the inspectors verified the following attributes during their review of the
licensee's corrective actions for the above condition reports and other related condition
reports:
      *   complete and accurate identification of the problem in a timely manner commensurate
with its safety significance and ease of discovery;
      *   consideration of the extent of condition, generic implications, common cause, and
previous occurrences;
      *  evaluation and disposition of operability/functionality/reportability issues;
      *  classification and prioritization of the resolution of the problem commensurate with
safety significance;
      *  identification of corrective actions, which were appropriately focused to correct the
problem; and
      *  completion of corrective actions in a timely manner commensurate with the safety
significance of the issue.
The inspectors verified the licensee assessed and corrected the issue in a timely manner. A
violation associated with this issue is documented in this report.

Issues
A self-revealed Green finding and associated Non-Cited Violation (NCV) of Technical
Specification 5.4.1.a, Procedures, was identified when the licensee failed to follow station
procedure DB-OP-06006, Makeup and Purification System. Specifically, the licensee failed
to open MU177, the Make-Up Filter 1 Outlet Isolation valve, which resulted in the isolation of
letdown while swapping make-up filters.
Description:
On March 31, 2018, while placing make-up system filter 1 in service using DB-OP-06006,
Makeup and Purification System, Revision 42, the licensee received two unexpected
alarms: Letdown or MU [make-up] Filter dP [differential pressure] Hi followed by Letdown
Pressure Hi. The licensee immediately opened MU12B, the Makeup Filter 2 Inlet Isolation,
to establish letdown flow.
During investigation of the issue the licensee found MU177, the Make-up Filter 1 Outlet
Isolation Valve, unexpectedly closed. This was because on March 30, 2018, when preparing
to swap filters, the licensee failed to follow Step 4.9.16.j of DB-OP-06006, which required
opening of MU177. Additionally, the licensee determined that while letdown flow was
isolated, the letdown relief valve lifted and reseated. Approximately six gallons of water were
diverted to the reactor coolant drain tank.
Corrective Actions: The licensees corrective actions included operator remediation, a
requirement to have shiftly engagement calls with operations management, and
reinforcement of the value of reverse briefs by operators as a human performance tool.
Corrective Action Reference: This issue was documented in CR-2018-03036, Misposition
of Make-Up Filter 1 Outlet Isolation (MU177).
Performance Assessment:
Performance Deficiency: The inspectors determined the licensees failure to follow
DB-OP-06006, Makeup and Purification System, Revision 42, was a performance deficiency.
Specifically, the licensee failed to open MU177, Make-Up Filter 1 Outlet Isolation, as required
by Step 4.9.16.j.
Screening: The performance deficiency was more than minor because it was associated with
Initiating Events cornerstone attribute of equipment performance, and adversely affected the
cornerstone objective of limiting the likelihood of events that upset plant stability and
challenge critical safety functions during shutdown as well as power operations. Specifically,
the licensees failure to open MU177 resulted in the letdown relief valve lifting, diverting
reactor coolant to the reactor coolant drain tank.
Significance: Using Inspection Manual Chapter (IMC) 0609, Attachment 4, Initial
Characterization of Findings, and IMC 0609 Appendix A, The Significance Determination
Process for Findings at Power, issued June 19, 2012, the finding was screened against the
Initiating Events cornerstone. The inspectors determined this issue was of very low safety
significance (Green) because the inspectors answered No to all the screening questions.
Cross Cutting Aspect: This finding has a cross-cutting aspect of Avoid Complacency in the
area of the Human Performance because the licensee failed to recognize and plan for the
possibility of mistakes, latent issues, and inherent risk, even while expecting successful
outcomes. Individuals implement appropriate error reduction tools. Specifically, the licensee
did not appropriately implement error reduction tools. [H.12]
Enforcement:
Violation: Technical Specification 5.4.1.a, Procedures, states, in part, written procedures
shall be established, implemented, and maintained covering the following activities: the
applicable procedures recommended in Regulatory Guide 1.33, Revision 2, Appendix A,
February 1978. Section 3.n of Regulatory Guide 1.33, Revision 2, Appendix A,
February 1978, states, in part, instructions for energizing, filling, venting, draining, startup,
shutdown, and changing modes of operation should be prepared, as appropriate, for the
following systems: chemical and volume control system (including letdown/purification
system). Step 4.9.16.j of DB-OP-06006, Makeup and Purification System, Revision 42,
stated, open MU177, Make-up Filter 1 Outlet Isolation.
Contrary to the above, on March 30, 2018, the licensee failed to implement a written
procedure required by Technical Specification 5.4.1.a. Specifically, the licensee failed to
implement procedure DB-OP-06006, Makeup and Purification System, Revision 42, which
resulted in the isolation of letdown while swapping make-up filters.
Disposition: Because it was of very low safety significance and was entered into the
licensees corrective action program as CR-2018-03036, this violation is being treated as an
NCV consistent with Section 2.3.2 of the Enforcement Policy. (NCV 05000346/2018002-01:

Direction
The NRC identified a finding of Green significance and an associated NCV of Technical
Specification 3.3.5, Safety Features Actuation System (SFAS) Instrumentation for the
licensees failure to place the reactor in Mode 3 within six hours of identifying that two
channels of SFAS Borated Water Storage Tank level instrumentation were inoperable.
Specifically, the licensee exited Technical Specification (TS) 3.3.5.b, the six hour shutdown
technical specification, while two BWST level instruments were still inoperable.
Description:
Licensee Event Report (LER) 05000346/2016-008-01, Application of Technical
Specifications for the Safety Features Actuation System Instrumentation.
On June 30, 2016 at 0829 EDT, Channel 1 of the Borated Water Storage Tank (BWST) level
instrumentation for the Safety Features Actuation System (SFAS) was declared inoperable
and removed from service for scheduled maintenance. The Limiting Condition for
Operation (LCO) for Technical Specification 3.3.5 stated in part, four channels of SFAS
instrumentation for each Parameter [BWST level] shall be operable. At this time, Reactor
Operators entered TS 3.3.5.a, which required the inoperable channel be tripped. Later that
day at 2344, Channel 2 became inoperable due to a loss of power from a failed power supply.
At this time, operators should have entered TS 3.3.5.b, which required restoring at least one
channel immediately or placing the reactor into Mode 3 (hot shutdown), within six hours. At
0140 on July 1, 2016, operators realized that they should apply TS 3.3.5.b, but did not enter
the Technical Specification until 0245. At 0330, operators exited TS 3.3.5.b with Channel 1
declared operable with compensatory measures, including proceduralized operator actions to
be performed for a manual suction swap. At that time, the Channel 1 instrument was
electrically and physically disconnected and incapable of performing its function or passing
the Technical Specification required surveillance, which is required to be met in all modes of
applicability of the LCO.
The inspectors questioned the licensees basis for operability. From discussions with the
licensee on July 1, 2016, the inspectors determined the defined compensatory measures
were not sufficient for the licensee to declare Channel 1 operable. At 1325 on July 1, 2016,
the licensee declared Channel 1 inoperable and reentered TS 3.3.5.b. At 1351, the licensee
exited TS 3.3.5.b after maintenance was completed and Channel 1 was restored to service.
The inspectors determined the reactor had been in a Mode other than Mode 3 (or lower) for a
total of 14 hours and 7 minutes.
Corrective Actions: The corrective actions included reentering TS 3.3.5.b and performing
corrective maintenance on the Channel 1 instrumentation to restore it to operable. The
Licensee performed a root cause analysis and developed a case study from lessons learned.
Additionally, the licensee issued an operations standing order; revised multiple procedures;
and performed additional training regarding lessons learned from this event, Technical
Specification compliance, and correct application of the operability determination process.
Corrective Action Reference: The licensee documented this issue in CR 2016-08419
Performance review of LCO 3.3.5 application during LT1525A maintenance.
Performance Assessment:
Performance Deficiency: The inspectors determined the licensees failure to place the reactor
in Mode 3 within six hours, as required by TS 3.3.5.b, was a performance deficiency.
Specifically, with two channels of the BWST level instrumentation inoperable, the licensee
failed to enter Mode 3 within six hours.
Screening: The finding was determined to be more than minor because it was associated
with the Mitigating Systems function of Long Term Heat Removal, and affected the
cornerstones objective of ensuring the availability, reliability, and capability of systems to
respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences. Specifically, the finding
resulted in the loss of the emergency core cooling system (ECCS) suction swap permissive
function, which could have resulted in the loss of system safety function (i.e., ECCS due to a
premature suction source transfer).
Significance: The inspectors determined the finding could be evaluated using the SDP in
accordance with IMC 0609, Significance Determination Process, Attachment 0609.04,
Phase 1-Initial Screening and Characterization of Findings, for the Mitigating Systems
cornerstone. The inspectors evaluated the finding using Appendix A, The Significance
Determination Process for Findings At-Power. The inspectors answered Yes to Question
A.2 in Exhibit 2 because the finding represented the inoperability of the ECCS suction swap
permissive for fourteen hours, which was greater than the TS 3.3.5 allowed outage time of
hours for this function. Therefore, a detailed risk evaluation was performed using
IMC 0609, Appendix A. The risk evaluation was performed by Region III SRAs and the
bounding core damage frequency (CDF) was determined to be 7.0E-7/yr. Since the total
estimated change in core damage frequency was less than 1.0E-6/year, the finding/violation
was initially determined to be Green. Additionally since the CDF was greater than
1.0E-7/year, the finding was reviewed for potential Large Early Release Frequency (LERF)
contribution. Davis Besse is a 2-loop Babcock and Wilcox Pressurized Water Reactor with a
large dry containment. The core damage sequences important to LERF were steam
generator tube rupture events and inter-system LOCA events. These events were not the
dominant core damage sequences for this finding. Therefore, based on the detailed risk
evaluation, the SRAs confirmed that the finding was of very-low safety significance (Green).
Cross Cutting Aspect: This finding had a cross-cutting aspect of Conservative Bias in the
area of Human Performance, which states individuals use decision making practices that
emphasize prudent choices over those that are simply allowable. A proposed action is
determined to be safe in order to proceed, rather than unsafe in order to stop. Specifically,
the licensee failed to use decision making practices that emphasized prudent choices, over
those that they believed were simply allowable. [H.14]
Enforcement:
Violation: Technical Specification 3.3.5.b, SFAS Instrumentation, states in part, with one of
more Parameters with two or more channels inoperable, be in Mode 3 within six hours.
Enforcement Actions: Contrary to the above, on July 1, 2016, the licensee failed to place the
reactor into Mode 3 within six hours of identifying one Parameter of SFAS instrumentation
with two channels inoperable. Specifically, licensee operators entered TS 3.3.5.b. at 0245
hours on July 1, 2016, following the determination that Channels 1 and 2 of SFAS
Instrumentation were inoperable. At 0330, licensee operators used inappropriate actions to
declare Channel 1 of SFAS Instrumentation operable, and subsequently failed to place the
reactor in Mode 3 before 0845 hours on July 1, 2016. Licensee operators appropriately
exited TS 3.3.5.b. at 1351 hours on July 1, 2016.
Disposition: Because it was of very low safety significance and was entered into the
licensees corrective action program as CR-2016-08419, this violation is being treated as an
NCV consistent with Section 2.3.2 of the Enforcement Policy. (NCV 05000346/2018002-02:

The NRC identified a finding of Green significance and an associated non-cited violation of
CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion V, Instructions, Procedures, and Drawings, due to
the licensees failure to implement DB-OP-03006, Miscellaneous Instrument Shift Checks,
Specifically, the licensee declared SFAS Channel 1 operable without performing the required
channel check.
Description:
Licensee Event Report (LER) 05000346/2016-008-01, Application of Technical
Specifications for the Safety Features Actuation System Instrumentation.
On June 30, 2016, at 0829 EDT, Channel 1 of the Borated Water Storage Tank (BWST) level
instrumentation for the Safety Features Actuation System (SFAS) was declared inoperable
and removed from service for scheduled maintenance. On July 1, 2016, at 0330, the channel
was declared operable with reference to compensatory measures. At that time, the
Channel 1 instrument was electrically and physically disconnected, and incapable of
performing its function.
On July 1, 2016, at 0700, the licensee performed DB-OP-03006, Miscellaneous Instrument
Shift Checks. Step 2.1.1 states, in part, a channel check shall be the qualitative assessment,
by observation, of channel behavior during operation. Section 4.2 requires a channel check
comparison for all four channels of the BWST level instrumentation. At that time, the level
instrumentation string for Channel 1 was de-energized, with the level instrument
disassembled. The licensee declared the channel check results satisfactory for Channel 1 by
referring to compensatory measures, including proceduralized operator actions that were not
applicable to the DB-OP-03006 acceptance criteria.
The inspectors questioned the licensees basis for operability and noted that the Channel 1
level instrument was not energized and was not physically attached to the system. The
inspectors subsequently determined the licensee failed to complete section 4.2 of
DB-OP-03006 for Channel 1 in accordance with Step 2.1.1 because the instrument string
was not in operation at the time the surveillance was completed. Additionally, the inspectors
determined the compensatory measures were not sufficient for the licensee to credit them
toward satisfactory test results.
Corrective Actions: The corrective actions included declaring Channel 1 inoperable and
performing corrective maintenance on the Channel 1 instrumentation to restore it to operable.
The Licensee performed a root cause analysis and developed a case study from lessons
learned. Additionally, the licensee issued an operations standing order; revised multiple
procedures; and performed additional training regarding lessons learned from this event,
Technical Specification compliance, and correct application of the operability determination
process.
Corrective Action Reference: The licensee documented this issue in CR 2016-08419,
Performance review of LCO 3.3.5 application during LT1525A maintenance.
Performance Assessment:
Performance Deficiency: The inspectors determined the licensees failure to implement
DB-OP-03006 was a performance deficiency. Specifically, step 2.1.1 requires a channel
check be performed by observation during operation. However, the licensee could not
perform the BWST level channel check comparison for Channel 1, as required by Step 4.2,
because the Channel 1 instrument string was de-energized and disconnected from its
associated system.
Screening: The performance deficiency was determined to be more than minor because it
was associated with the Mitigating Systems cornerstone attribute of Equipment Performance
and affected the cornerstone objective of ensuring the availability, reliability, and capability of
systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences. Specifically,
the failure to follow procedures to establish the operability of SFAS Channel 1 negatively
affected the ability of the system to perform its accident mitigating function. Additionally, this
failure led to a violation of Technical Specifications as detailed elsewhere in this report.
Significance: The inspectors assessed the significance of the finding using IMC 0609.04,
Initial Characterization of Findings, and IMC 0609, Appendix A, Exhibit 2, Mitigating
Systems Screening Questions. The inspectors determined that this performance deficiency
did not result in a loss of a single train of a safety system for greater than its Technical
Specification allowed outage time. Therefore, the inspectors determined the finding to be of
very low safety significance (Green).
Cross Cutting Aspect: This finding had a cross-cutting aspect of Procedure Adherence in the
area of Human Performance, which states individuals follow processes, procedures, and work
instructions. Specifically, the licensee declared the SFAS Channel 1 operable without
meeting the acceptance criteria of the required procedures. [H.8]
Enforcement:
Violation: Title 10 CFR Appendix B, Criterion V, Instructions, Procedures, and Drawings,
requires, in part, that 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. Instructions,
procedures, or drawings shall include appropriate quantitative or qualitative acceptance
criteria for determining that important activities have been satisfactorily accomplished.
Step 2.1.1 of DB-OP-03006, Revision 55, an Appendix B procedure affecting Technical
Specification-required equipment, states, in part, a channel check shall be the qualitative
assessment, by observation, of channel behavior during operation.
Contrary to the above, on July 1, 2016, the licensee failed to accomplish activities affecting
quality in accordance with procedures of a type appropriate to the circumstances.
Specifically, the licensee attempted to perform the Channel 1 BWST level instrument channel
check while the instrument was de-energized and physically disconnected from its associated
system, and thus not operating.
Disposition: Because it was of very low safety significance and was entered into the
licensees corrective action program as CR-2016-08419, this violation is being treated as an
NCV consistent with Section 2.3.2 of the Enforcement Policy. (NCV 05000346/2018002-03:

The NRC identified a finding of Green significance due to the licensees misapplication of
NOP-OP-1009, Operability Determinations and Functionality Assessments. Specifically,
the licensee failed to apply the Operability Determination process in accordance with
procedures.
Description:
Licensee Event Report (LER) 05000346/2016-008-01, Application of Technical
Specifications for the Safety Features Actuation System Instrumentation.
On June 30, 2016, at 0829 EDT, Channel 1 of the Borated Water Storage Tank (BWST) level
instrumentation for the Safety Features Actuation System (SFAS) was declared inoperable
and removed from service for scheduled maintenance. At this time, Reactor Operators
entered TS 3.3.5.a, which required the inoperable channel be tripped. On July 1, 2016,
at 0330, the channel was declared operable with reference to compensatory measures. At
this time, the Channel 1 instrument was electrically and physically disconnected, and
incapable of performing its function. A Prompt Operability Determination (POD) was initiated
in an attempt to evaluate operability based on the compensatory measures. NOP-OP-1009,
Operability Determinations and Functionality Assessments step 4.3.11 required that in the
case of PODs which have compensatory measures, the engineering director or designee
must grant concurrence. However, the duty engineering manager (directors designee)
indicated that operability could not be supported because the instrument could not meet its
surveillance requirements, and therefore, he did not provide his concurrence.
The inspectors questioned the licensees basis for operability. From discussions with the
licensee on July 1, 2016, the inspectors determined the defined compensatory measures
were not sufficient for the licensee to declare Channel 1 operable. At 1325 on July 1, 2016,
the licensee agreed with the inspectors assessment and declared Channel 1 inoperable.
At 1351 maintenance was completed on Channel 1 and the channel was restored to service.
Corrective Actions: The corrective actions included declaring channel 1 inoperable and
performing corrective maintenance on the Channel 1 instrumentation to restore it to operable.
The Licensee performed a root cause analysis and developed a case study from lessons
learned. Additionally, the licensee issued an operations standing order, performed additional
training regarding lessons learned from this event, Technical Specification compliance, and
correct application of the operability determination process.
Corrective Action Reference: The licensee documented this issue in CR 2016-08416,
Performance review of LCO 3.3.5 application during LT1525A maintenance.
Performance Assessment:
Performance Deficiency: The inspectors determined the licensees failure to implement
NOP-OP-1009 was a performance deficiency. Specifically, step 4.3.11 required that in the
case of a POD relying on compensatory measures, the engineering director or designee must
grant concurrence. However, the engineering duty manager (directors designee) stated that
operability could not be supported and that a POD could not be performed because the
instrument could not meet its surveillance requirements, and therefore did not provide his
concurrence.
Screening: The performance deficiency was determined to be more than minor because it
was associated with the Mitigating Systems cornerstone attribute of Equipment Performance
and affected the cornerstone objective of ensuring the availability, reliability, and capability of
systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences. Specifically,
the failure to follow procedures to establish the operability of SFAS Channel 1 negatively
affected the ability of the system to perform its accident mitigating function. Additionally, this
failure led to a violation of Technical Specifications as detailed elsewhere in this report.
Significance: The inspectors assessed the significance of the finding using IMC 0609.04,
Initial Characterization of Findings, and IMC 0609, Appendix A, Exhibit 1, Initiating Events
Screening Questions. The inspectors determined that this performance deficiency did not
cause a reactor trip and the loss of mitigation equipment relied upon to transition the plant
from the onset of the trip to a stable shutdown condition. Therefore, the inspectors
determined the finding to be of very low safety significance (Green).
Cross Cutting Aspect: This finding had a cross-cutting aspect of Consistent Process in the
area of Human Performance, which states individuals use a consistent, systematic approach
to make decision. Risk insights are incorporated as appropriate. Specifically, the licensee
continued to push forward in the POD process despite the fact that they could not meet the
requirements of the process. [H.13]
Enforcement: No violation was identified. (FIN 05000346/2018002-04: Misapplication of
the Operability Determination Process)

PLANT STATUS

The unit remained at or near rated thermal power for the entirety of the inspection period.

On March 28, 2018, FirstEnergy Solutions (FES) / FirstEnergy Nuclear Operating

Company (FENOC) verbally notified the Nuclear Regulatory Commission that they intended to

shut down all four of their operating nuclear power plants. Based on that notification, the first to

shut down will be Davis-Besse, by May 31, 2020. On March 31, 2018, FES, FirstEnergy

Nuclear Generation (FENGEN), and FENOC filed for bankruptcy. The Nuclear Regulatory

Commission continues to maintain focus on public health and safety and the protection of the

environment. This will include a continuous evaluation by inspectors to determine whether the

licensees financial condition is impacting safe operation of the plant.

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

Specifications for the Safety Features Actuation System Instrumentation. Two violations

and a finding for this issue are documented in this report. This LER is closed.

Evaluation of Davis-Besse Safety Condition in Light of Financial Conditions

The licensees parent company, FirstEnergy Solutions, was under bankruptcy

protection/reorganization during the inspection period. As such, NRC Region III conducted

special reviews of processes at Davis-Besse. Using the flexibilities in the baseline inspection

program, the inspectors evaluated several aspects of the licensees operations to assess

whether any identified plant performance issues could be related to the stations financial

condition. The factors reviewed included: (1) impact on regulatory-required plant staffing,

(2) corrective maintenance backlog, (3) changes to the planned maintenance schedule,

(4) corrective action program implementation, and (5) reduction in outage scope, including

risk-significant modifications. In particular, the inspectors verified that licensee personnel

continued to identify problems at an appropriate threshold and enter these problems into the

corrective action program for resolution. The inspectors also verified that the licensee continued

to develop and implement corrective actions commensurate with the safety significance of the

problems identified.

The review of processes at Davis-Besse included continuous reviews by the Resident

Inspectors, as well as the specialist-led baseline inspections completed during the inspection

period which are documented previously in this report.

CR-2018-03036: Misposition of Make Up Filter 1

Outlet Isolation (MU 177)

On March 31, 2018, while placing makeup system filter 1 in service using DB-OP-06006,

Makeup and Purification System, Revision 42, the licensee received two unexpected alarms:

Letdown or MU [make-up] Filter dP [differential pressure] Hi followed by Letdown Pressure

Hi. The licensee immediately opened MU12B, the Makeup Filter 2 Inlet Isolation, to establish

letdown flow. During this time the letdown relief valve lifted and reseated, diverting

approximately six gallons of water to the reactor coolant drain tank.

Through the investigation of the issue, the licensee found MU177, the Make-Up Filter 1 Outlet

Isolation valve, had not been opened on March 30, 2018, as required by Step 4.9.16.j of

DB-OP-06006. The licensees corrective actions included operator remediation, a

requirement to have shiftly engagement calls with Operations Management, and

reinforcement of the value of reverse briefs by operators as a human performance tool. This

issue was documented in CR-2018-03036, Disposition of Make-Up Filter 1 Outlet

Isolation (MU177).

As appropriate, the inspectors verified the following attributes during their review of the

licensee's corrective actions for the above condition reports and other related condition

reports:

  • complete and accurate identification of the problem in a timely manner commensurate

with its safety significance and ease of discovery;

  • consideration of the extent of condition, generic implications, common cause, and

previous occurrences;

  • evaluation and disposition of operability/functionality/reportability issues;
  • classification and prioritization of the resolution of the problem commensurate with

safety significance;

  • identification of corrective actions, which were appropriately focused to correct the

problem; and

  • completion of corrective actions in a timely manner commensurate with the safety

significance of the issue.

The inspectors verified the licensee assessed and corrected the issue in a timely manner. A

violation associated with this issue is documented in this report.

Closed Follow-Up of

Selected

Issues

A self-revealed Green finding and associated Non-Cited Violation (NCV) of Technical Specification 5.4.1.a, Procedures, was identified when the licensee failed to follow station

procedure DB-OP-06006, Makeup and Purification System. Specifically, the licensee failed

to open MU177, the Make-Up Filter 1 Outlet Isolation valve, which resulted in the isolation of

letdown while swapping make-up filters.

Description:

On March 31, 2018, while placing make-up system filter 1 in service using DB-OP-06006,

Makeup and Purification System, Revision 42, the licensee received two unexpected

alarms: Letdown or MU [make-up] Filter dP [differential pressure] Hi followed by Letdown

Pressure Hi. The licensee immediately opened MU12B, the Makeup Filter 2 Inlet Isolation,

to establish letdown flow.

During investigation of the issue the licensee found MU177, the Make-up Filter 1 Outlet

Isolation Valve, unexpectedly closed. This was because on March 30, 2018, when preparing

to swap filters, the licensee failed to follow Step 4.9.16.j of DB-OP-06006, which required

opening of MU177. Additionally, the licensee determined that while letdown flow was

isolated, the letdown relief valve lifted and reseated. Approximately six gallons of water were

diverted to the reactor coolant drain tank.

Corrective Actions: The licensees corrective actions included operator remediation, a

requirement to have shiftly engagement calls with operations management, and

reinforcement of the value of reverse briefs by operators as a human performance tool.

Corrective Action Reference: This issue was documented in CR-2018-03036, Misposition

of Make-Up Filter 1 Outlet Isolation (MU177).

Performance Assessment:

Performance Deficiency: The inspectors determined the licensees failure to follow

DB-OP-06006, Makeup and Purification System, Revision 42, was a performance deficiency.

Specifically, the licensee failed to open MU177, Make-Up Filter 1 Outlet Isolation, as required

by Step 4.9.16.j.

Screening: The performance deficiency was more than minor because it was associated with

Initiating Events cornerstone attribute of equipment performance, and adversely affected the

cornerstone objective of limiting the likelihood of events that upset plant stability and

challenge critical safety functions during shutdown as well as power operations. Specifically,

the licensees failure to open MU177 resulted in the letdown relief valve lifting, diverting

reactor coolant to the reactor coolant drain tank.

Significance: Using Inspection Manual Chapter (IMC) 0609, Attachment 4, Initial

Characterization of Findings, and IMC 0609 Appendix A, The Significance Determination

Process for Findings at Power, issued June 19, 2012, the finding was screened against the

Initiating Events cornerstone. The inspectors determined this issue was of very low safety

significance (Green) because the inspectors answered No to all the screening questions.

Cross Cutting Aspect: This finding has a cross-cutting aspect of Avoid Complacency in the

area of the Human Performance because the licensee failed to recognize and plan for the

possibility of mistakes, latent issues, and inherent risk, even while expecting successful

outcomes. Individuals implement appropriate error reduction tools. Specifically, the licensee

did not appropriately implement error reduction tools. [H.12]

Enforcement:

Violation: Technical Specification 5.4.1.a, Procedures, states, in part, written procedures

shall be established, implemented, and maintained covering the following activities: the

applicable procedures recommended in Regulatory Guide 1.33, Revision 2, Appendix A,

February 1978. Section 3.n of Regulatory Guide 1.33, Revision 2, Appendix A,

February 1978, states, in part, instructions for energizing, filling, venting, draining, startup,

shutdown, and changing modes of operation should be prepared, as appropriate, for the

following systems: chemical and volume control system (including letdown/purification

system). Step 4.9.16.j of DB-OP-06006, Makeup and Purification System, Revision 42,

stated, open MU177, Make-up Filter 1 Outlet Isolation.

Contrary to the above, on March 30, 2018, the licensee failed to implement a written

procedure required by Technical Specification 5.4.1.a. Specifically, the licensee failed to

implement procedure DB-OP-06006, Makeup and Purification System, Revision 42, which

resulted in the isolation of letdown while swapping make-up filters.

Disposition: Because it was of very low safety significance and was entered into the

licensees corrective action program as CR-2018-03036, this violation is being treated as an

NCV consistent with Section 2.3.2 of the Enforcement Policy. (NCV 05000346/2018002-01:

Direction

The NRC identified a finding of Green significance and an associated NCV of Technical Specification 3.3.5, Safety Features Actuation System (SFAS) Instrumentation for the

licensees failure to place the reactor in Mode 3 within six hours of identifying that two

channels of SFAS Borated Water Storage Tank level instrumentation were inoperable.

Specifically, the licensee exited Technical Specification (TS) 3.3.5.b, the six hour shutdown

technical specification, while two BWST level instruments were still inoperable.

Description:

Licensee Event Report (LER) 05000346/2016-008-01, Application of Technical

Specifications for the Safety Features Actuation System Instrumentation.

On June 30, 2016 at 0829 EDT, Channel 1 of the Borated Water Storage Tank (BWST) level

instrumentation for the Safety Features Actuation System (SFAS) was declared inoperable

and removed from service for scheduled maintenance. The Limiting Condition for

Operation (LCO) for Technical Specification 3.3.5 stated in part, four channels of SFAS

instrumentation for each Parameter [BWST level] shall be operable. At this time, Reactor

Operators entered TS 3.3.5.a, which required the inoperable channel be tripped. Later that

day at 2344, Channel 2 became inoperable due to a loss of power from a failed power supply.

At this time, operators should have entered TS 3.3.5.b, which required restoring at least one

channel immediately or placing the reactor into Mode 3 (hot shutdown), within six hours. At

0140 on July 1, 2016, operators realized that they should apply TS 3.3.5.b, but did not enter

the Technical Specification until 0245. At 0330, operators exited TS 3.3.5.b with Channel 1

declared operable with compensatory measures, including proceduralized operator actions to

be performed for a manual suction swap. At that time, the Channel 1 instrument was

electrically and physically disconnected and incapable of performing its function or passing

the Technical Specification required surveillance, which is required to be met in all modes of

applicability of the LCO.

The inspectors questioned the licensees basis for operability. From discussions with the

licensee on July 1, 2016, the inspectors determined the defined compensatory measures

were not sufficient for the licensee to declare Channel 1 operable. At 1325 on July 1, 2016,

the licensee declared Channel 1 inoperable and reentered TS 3.3.5.b. At 1351, the licensee

exited TS 3.3.5.b after maintenance was completed and Channel 1 was restored to service.

The inspectors determined the reactor had been in a Mode other than Mode 3 (or lower) for a

total of 14 hours1.62037e-4 days <br />0.00389 hours <br />2.314815e-5 weeks <br />5.327e-6 months <br /> and 7 minutes.

Corrective Actions: The corrective actions included reentering TS 3.3.5.b and performing

corrective maintenance on the Channel 1 instrumentation to restore it to operable. The

Licensee performed a root cause analysis and developed a case study from lessons learned.

Additionally, the licensee issued an operations standing order; revised multiple procedures;

and performed additional training regarding lessons learned from this event, Technical

Specification compliance, and correct application of the operability determination process.

Corrective Action Reference: The licensee documented this issue in CR 2016-08419

Performance review of LCO 3.3.5 application during LT1525A maintenance.

Performance Assessment:

Performance Deficiency: The inspectors determined the licensees failure to place the reactor

in Mode 3 within six hours, as required by TS 3.3.5.b, was a performance deficiency.

Specifically, with two channels of the BWST level instrumentation inoperable, the licensee

failed to enter Mode 3 within six hours.

Screening: The finding was determined to be more than minor because it was associated

with the Mitigating Systems function of Long Term Heat Removal, and affected the

cornerstones objective of ensuring the availability, reliability, and capability of systems to

respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences. Specifically, the finding

resulted in the loss of the emergency core cooling system (ECCS) suction swap permissive

function, which could have resulted in the loss of system safety function (i.e., ECCS due to a

premature suction source transfer).

Significance: The inspectors determined the finding could be evaluated using the SDP in

accordance with IMC 0609, Significance Determination Process, Attachment 0609.04,

Phase 1-Initial Screening and Characterization of Findings, for the Mitigating Systems

cornerstone. The inspectors evaluated the finding using Appendix A, The Significance

Determination Process for Findings At-Power. The inspectors answered Yes to Question

A.2 in Exhibit 2 because the finding represented the inoperability of the ECCS suction swap

permissive for fourteen hours, which was greater than the TS 3.3.5 allowed outage time of

hours for this function. Therefore, a detailed risk evaluation was performed using

IMC 0609, Appendix A. The risk evaluation was performed by Region III SRAs and the

bounding core damage frequency (CDF) was determined to be 7.0E-7/yr. Since the total

estimated change in core damage frequency was less than 1.0E-6/year, the finding/violation

was initially determined to be Green. Additionally since the CDF was greater than

1.0E-7/year, the finding was reviewed for potential Large Early Release Frequency (LERF)

contribution. Davis Besse is a 2-loop Babcock and Wilcox Pressurized Water Reactor with a

large dry containment. The core damage sequences important to LERF were steam

generator tube rupture events and inter-system LOCA events. These events were not the

dominant core damage sequences for this finding. Therefore, based on the detailed risk

evaluation, the SRAs confirmed that the finding was of very-low safety significance (Green).

Cross Cutting Aspect: This finding had a cross-cutting aspect of Conservative Bias in the

area of Human Performance, which states individuals use decision making practices that

emphasize prudent choices over those that are simply allowable. A proposed action is

determined to be safe in order to proceed, rather than unsafe in order to stop. Specifically,

the licensee failed to use decision making practices that emphasized prudent choices, over

those that they believed were simply allowable. [H.14]

Enforcement:

Violation: Technical Specification 3.3.5.b, SFAS Instrumentation, states in part, with one of

more Parameters with two or more channels inoperable, be in Mode 3 within six hours.

Enforcement Actions: Contrary to the above, on July 1, 2016, the licensee failed to place the

reactor into Mode 3 within six hours of identifying one Parameter of SFAS instrumentation

with two channels inoperable. Specifically, licensee operators entered TS 3.3.5.b. at 0245

hours on July 1, 2016, following the determination that Channels 1 and 2 of SFAS

Instrumentation were inoperable. At 0330, licensee operators used inappropriate actions to

declare Channel 1 of SFAS Instrumentation operable, and subsequently failed to place the

reactor in Mode 3 before 0845 hours0.00978 days <br />0.235 hours <br />0.0014 weeks <br />3.215225e-4 months <br /> on July 1, 2016. Licensee operators appropriately

Disposition: Because it was of very low safety significance and was entered into the

licensees corrective action program as CR-2016-08419, this violation is being treated as an

NCV consistent with Section 2.3.2 of the Enforcement Policy. (NCV 05000346/2018002-02:

The NRC identified a finding of Green significance and an associated non-cited violation of

CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion V, Instructions, Procedures, and Drawings, due to

the licensees failure to implement DB-OP-03006, Miscellaneous Instrument Shift Checks,

Specifically, the licensee declared SFAS Channel 1 operable without performing the required

channel check.

Description:

Licensee Event Report (LER) 05000346/2016-008-01, Application of Technical

Specifications for the Safety Features Actuation System Instrumentation.

On June 30, 2016, at 0829 EDT, Channel 1 of the Borated Water Storage Tank (BWST) level

instrumentation for the Safety Features Actuation System (SFAS) was declared inoperable

and removed from service for scheduled maintenance. On July 1, 2016, at 0330, the channel

was declared operable with reference to compensatory measures. At that time, the

Channel 1 instrument was electrically and physically disconnected, and incapable of

performing its function.

On July 1, 2016, at 0700, the licensee performed DB-OP-03006, Miscellaneous Instrument

Shift Checks. Step 2.1.1 states, in part, a channel check shall be the qualitative assessment,

by observation, of channel behavior during operation. Section 4.2 requires a channel check

comparison for all four channels of the BWST level instrumentation. At that time, the level

instrumentation string for Channel 1 was de-energized, with the level instrument

disassembled. The licensee declared the channel check results satisfactory for Channel 1 by

referring to compensatory measures, including proceduralized operator actions that were not

applicable to the DB-OP-03006 acceptance criteria.

The inspectors questioned the licensees basis for operability and noted that the Channel 1

level instrument was not energized and was not physically attached to the system. The

inspectors subsequently determined the licensee failed to complete section 4.2 of

DB-OP-03006 for Channel 1 in accordance with Step 2.1.1 because the instrument string

was not in operation at the time the surveillance was completed. Additionally, the inspectors

determined the compensatory measures were not sufficient for the licensee to credit them

toward satisfactory test results.

Corrective Actions: The corrective actions included declaring Channel 1 inoperable and

performing corrective maintenance on the Channel 1 instrumentation to restore it to operable.

The Licensee performed a root cause analysis and developed a case study from lessons

learned. Additionally, the licensee issued an operations standing order; revised multiple

procedures; and performed additional training regarding lessons learned from this event,

Technical Specification compliance, and correct application of the operability determination

process.

Corrective Action Reference: The licensee documented this issue in CR 2016-08419,

Performance review of LCO 3.3.5 application during LT1525A maintenance.

Performance Assessment:

Performance Deficiency: The inspectors determined the licensees failure to implement

DB-OP-03006 was a performance deficiency. Specifically, step 2.1.1 requires a channel

check be performed by observation during operation. However, the licensee could not

perform the BWST level channel check comparison for Channel 1, as required by Step 4.2,

because the Channel 1 instrument string was de-energized and disconnected from its

associated system.

Screening: The performance deficiency was determined to be more than minor because it

was associated with the Mitigating Systems cornerstone attribute of Equipment Performance

and affected the cornerstone objective of ensuring the availability, reliability, and capability of

systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences. Specifically,

the failure to follow procedures to establish the operability of SFAS Channel 1 negatively

affected the ability of the system to perform its accident mitigating function. Additionally, this

failure led to a violation of Technical Specifications as detailed elsewhere in this report.

Significance: The inspectors assessed the significance of the finding using IMC 0609.04,

Initial Characterization of Findings, and IMC 0609, Appendix A, Exhibit 2, Mitigating

Systems Screening Questions. The inspectors determined that this performance deficiency

did not result in a loss of a single train of a safety system for greater than its Technical

Specification allowed outage time. Therefore, the inspectors determined the finding to be of

very low safety significance (Green).

Cross Cutting Aspect: This finding had a cross-cutting aspect of Procedure Adherence in the

area of Human Performance, which states individuals follow processes, procedures, and work

instructions. Specifically, the licensee declared the SFAS Channel 1 operable without

meeting the acceptance criteria of the required procedures. [H.8]

Enforcement:

Violation: Title 10 CFR Appendix B, Criterion V, Instructions, Procedures, and Drawings,

requires, in part, that 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. Instructions,

procedures, or drawings shall include appropriate quantitative or qualitative acceptance

criteria for determining that important activities have been satisfactorily accomplished.

Step 2.1.1 of DB-OP-03006, Revision 55, an Appendix B procedure affecting Technical

Specification-required equipment, states, in part, a channel check shall be the qualitative

assessment, by observation, of channel behavior during operation.

Contrary to the above, on July 1, 2016, the licensee failed to accomplish activities affecting

quality in accordance with procedures of a type appropriate to the circumstances.

Specifically, the licensee attempted to perform the Channel 1 BWST level instrument channel

check while the instrument was de-energized and physically disconnected from its associated

system, and thus not operating.

Disposition: Because it was of very low safety significance and was entered into the

licensees corrective action program as CR-2016-08419, this violation is being treated as an

NCV consistent with Section 2.3.2 of the Enforcement Policy. (NCV 05000346/2018002-03:

The NRC identified a finding of Green significance due to the licensees misapplication of

NOP-OP-1009, Operability Determinations and Functionality Assessments. Specifically,

the licensee failed to apply the Operability Determination process in accordance with

procedures.

Description:

Licensee Event Report (LER) 05000346/2016-008-01, Application of Technical

Specifications for the Safety Features Actuation System Instrumentation.

On June 30, 2016, at 0829 EDT, Channel 1 of the Borated Water Storage Tank (BWST) level

instrumentation for the Safety Features Actuation System (SFAS) was declared inoperable

and removed from service for scheduled maintenance. At this time, Reactor Operators

entered TS 3.3.5.a, which required the inoperable channel be tripped. On July 1, 2016,

at 0330, the channel was declared operable with reference to compensatory measures. At

this time, the Channel 1 instrument was electrically and physically disconnected, and

incapable of performing its function. A Prompt Operability Determination (POD) was initiated

in an attempt to evaluate operability based on the compensatory measures. NOP-OP-1009,

Operability Determinations and Functionality Assessments step 4.3.11 required that in the

case of PODs which have compensatory measures, the engineering director or designee

must grant concurrence. However, the duty engineering manager (directors designee)

indicated that operability could not be supported because the instrument could not meet its

surveillance requirements, and therefore, he did not provide his concurrence.

The inspectors questioned the licensees basis for operability. From discussions with the

licensee on July 1, 2016, the inspectors determined the defined compensatory measures

were not sufficient for the licensee to declare Channel 1 operable. At 1325 on July 1, 2016,

the licensee agreed with the inspectors assessment and declared Channel 1 inoperable.

At 1351 maintenance was completed on Channel 1 and the channel was restored to service.

Corrective Actions: The corrective actions included declaring channel 1 inoperable and

performing corrective maintenance on the Channel 1 instrumentation to restore it to operable.

The Licensee performed a root cause analysis and developed a case study from lessons

learned. Additionally, the licensee issued an operations standing order, performed additional

training regarding lessons learned from this event, Technical Specification compliance, and

correct application of the operability determination process.

Corrective Action Reference: The licensee documented this issue in CR 2016-08416,

Performance review of LCO 3.3.5 application during LT1525A maintenance.

Performance Assessment:

Performance Deficiency: The inspectors determined the licensees failure to implement

NOP-OP-1009 was a performance deficiency. Specifically, step 4.3.11 required that in the

case of a POD relying on compensatory measures, the engineering director or designee must

grant concurrence. However, the engineering duty manager (directors designee) stated that

operability could not be supported and that a POD could not be performed because the

instrument could not meet its surveillance requirements, and therefore did not provide his

concurrence.

Screening: The performance deficiency was determined to be more than minor because it

was associated with the Mitigating Systems cornerstone attribute of Equipment Performance

and affected the cornerstone objective of ensuring the availability, reliability, and capability of

systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences. Specifically,

the failure to follow procedures to establish the operability of SFAS Channel 1 negatively

affected the ability of the system to perform its accident mitigating function. Additionally, this

failure led to a violation of Technical Specifications as detailed elsewhere in this report.

Significance: The inspectors assessed the significance of the finding using IMC 0609.04,

Initial Characterization of Findings, and IMC 0609, Appendix A, Exhibit 1, Initiating Events

Screening Questions. The inspectors determined that this performance deficiency did not

cause a reactor trip and the loss of mitigation equipment relied upon to transition the plant

from the onset of the trip to a stable shutdown condition. Therefore, the inspectors

determined the finding to be of very low safety significance (Green).

Cross Cutting Aspect: This finding had a cross-cutting aspect of Consistent Process in the

area of Human Performance, which states individuals use a consistent, systematic approach

to make decision. Risk insights are incorporated as appropriate. Specifically, the licensee

continued to push forward in the POD process despite the fact that they could not meet the

requirements of the process. [H.13]

Enforcement: No violation was identified. (FIN 05000346/2018002-04: Misapplication of
