The inspectors identified a finding of very low safety significance (Green) because Entergy personnel did not adequately imptemeni the procedural requirements of EN-DC-1 15,,ngineering Change Process,'i during the installation of a modification to the 33 instrument air deiiccantiryer. Specifically, Entergy staff incorrectly replaced fuses in the motor control center(MCC] which powers the dryer with smaller capacity fuses, rather than replacing existing control power fuses in the dryer control panel with fuses of increased capacityl as inteided by the design change. As a result, the fuses in the MCC performed their intended function ind burned out, deenergizing the dryer, and leading to excessive unavailability of the dryer and high humidity air in the instrument air header. Entergy staff entered this issue into their corrective action process as condition report (cR)-lP3-2011-03798.

The inspectors determined the finding was more than minor because the finding was similar to the'more than minor if'statement associated with example 5 b of Inspection Manual Chapter (lMC) 0612 Appendix E, "Examples of Minor lssues." Additionally, the finding was more than minor because it was associated with the Equipment Performance attribute of the Mitigating Systems cornerstone and affected the cornerstone objective to ensure the availability and capability of systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable con""qu"nces (i.e., core damage). Specifically, the unavailability of the 33 instrument air dryer caused moist air in the instrument air heider which in turn led to high humidity and low prersrre alarms on the 33 instrument air header. The inspectors_ evaluated the finding using IMC 0609, Attachment 4, "Phase 1 - Initial Screening and Characterization of Findlngs," and determined the finding was of very low safety significance because the finding was not a Jesign or qualificaiion deficiency, did not represent a loss of system safety functi5n, and did not sireen as potentially risk significant due to external initiating events.

This finding had a cross-cutting aspect in tne arel of Human Performance, associated with the Work Controf attribute. Specifically, Entergy personnel did not adequately coordinate the planning and implementaiion of tne engineering change process, which involved several site departments, and resulted in incorrectly installed fuses and multiple missed opportunities to both prevent and identify the error.

Inspection ScoPe The inspectors reviewed the procedures that described Entergy's corrective action program at Indian point Unit 3. To assess the effectiveness of the corrective action pro!r"t, the inspectors reviewed performance in three primary areas: problem iOeititication, prioritization and evaluation of issues, and corrective action implementat'on. The inspectors compared perfo_rmance in these areas to the requirements and standards contained in Title 10, Code of Federal Regulations (10 Cfnl part 50, Appendix B, Criterion XVl, "Corrective Action," and Entergy's procedure EN-LI-102, "Coriective Action Process," Revision 16. For each of these areas, the inspectors'considered risk insights from the station's risk analysis and reviewed condition reports (CRs) selectid across the seven cornerstones of safety in the NRCs Reactor Oversighi process. Additionally, the inspectors attended multiple Operations Focus, Condition Review Group (CRG);and Corrective Action Review Board (CARB)meetings. The inspectors selected items from the following functional areas for review:

: (1) Effectiveness of Problem ldentification Based on the selected samples reviewed, plant walkdowns, and interviews of site personnel, the inspectors determined that Entergy personnel identified problems and entered them into the CAP at a low threshold. For the issues reviewed, the inspectors determined that problems or concerns were generally documented in sufficient detail to understand the issues. The inspectors observed managers and supervisors at CRG and CARB meetings appropriately questioning and challenging CRs to ensure clarification of the issues. The inspectors determined Entergy personnel trended equipment and programmatic issues at low levels and CR descriptions appropriately included reference io repeat occurrences of issues. ln general, the inspectors did not identify issues or concerns that had not been appropriately entered into the CAP for evaluation and resolution. However, the inspectors identified the following example of a minor issue that was not adequately identified by Entergy staff. Entergy staff promptly entered the issue into the CAP for resolution.

. The inspectors identified that Entergy personnel performed maintenance on three AFW 1ow control valves during tne 2Ot 1 refueling outage, but did not perform the required post maintenance tests (PMTs) on the valves prior to declaring the AFW system operable. The inspectors also identified the PMTs were not correctly scheduled to be completed after the maintenance that occurred during the outage' The inspectors noted that Entergy personnel subsequently satisfactorily stroked the valves during the next normally scheduled, quarterly AFW in-service testing approximately one week later.

The inspectors determined that the missed PMT for the valves was a performance deficiency. However, because the subsequent valve stroke times a week later indicated that the AFW valves were operable, the inspectors determined that the issue was of minor significance and not subject to enforcement action in accordance with the NRCs Enforcement Policy. Entergy staff initiated CR-IP3-2011-03815 for this performance deficiency.

e   Based on a nuclear plant operator (NPO) log and CAP database review, the inspectors noted that on several occasions NPOs documented degraded conditions regarding roof leaks and housekeeping issues in the primary auxiliary building (PAB)during the week of July 3, 2011. Further, the inspectors noted that some of these conditions had existed for six months. The inspectors determined that Entergy staff missed an opportunity to trend these conditions and ensure conditions were appropriately addressed in a timely manner consistent with CAP expectations.

The fuses are located in the 33 instrument air dryer control panel.


During implementation of the EC on May 11 , 2011, Entergy personnel removed 15 amp fuseslrom the 33 motor control center (MCC), which powers the 33 instrument air dryer, rather than removing the four amp fuses from the dryer control panel. The electricians proceeded to replace the 15 amp fuses with the new six amp fuses. When the instrument air dryer was reenergized, the six amp fuses, which did not have sufficient amperage capacity for the MCC application, performed their intended function and burned out, deenergizing the dryer. The dryer remained deenergized and unavailable for a period of approximately two weeks until Entergy personnel found water in the air supply to BFD-PCV-3, the steam generator blowdown recovery outlet backpressure controller. Upon troubleshooting the water issue, Entergy personnelfound and corrected the undersized fuses in 33 MCC and placed the dryer back in service. On June 9, 2011, the four amp fuses in the dryer control panel were correctly replaced with six amp fuses, in accordance with the EC. This issue was previously entered into Entergy's CAP as CR-lP3-2011-02767, CR-lP3-2011-02918, and CR-lP3-2011-02920' At tne iime of the inspection, these CRs had been closed to corrective actions already taken, which included correcting the fuse error and coaching personnel to read the EC documentation more thoroughlY.

The inspectors questioned the causes of humidity and low pressure alarms on the 33 instrument air header, which had been documented in condition reports initiated in June and July 2011. Through interviews with the system engin-eer, the inspectors learned that after the fuse issue ha-d been resolved, troubleshooting of high humidity           and   low pressure alarms on the 33 instrument air header had revealed that the 33 instrument air dryer had been degraded by moisture passing into the air header while the dryer had been unavailable due to the blown fuses.

Through interviews with the system engin-eer, the inspectors learned that after the fuse issue ha-d been resolved, troubleshooting of high humidity and low pressure alarms on the 33 instrument air header had revealed that the 33 instrument air dryer had been degraded by moisture passing into the air header while the dryer had been unavailable due to the blown fuses. Degradation of the dryer's tower swapping mechanism allowed air to partially bypass the dryer, thereby causing lhe high humidity and low pressure alarms.

This finding had a cross-cutting aspect in the area of Problem ldentification and Resolution, associated with the Corrective Action Program attribute, because Entergy personnel did not take appropriate corrective actions to address an adverse trend in a timely manner, commensurate with the safety significance. Specifically, Entergy personnel did not take timely corrective actions to address SW carbon steel pipe wall ifrinning due to external corrosion, such as eliminating the source of the wetting by redireciing the flow of water, evaluating the as-found structural integrity of the pipe, and periodically monitoring the pipe for further degradation, commensurate with the safety significance of the pipe.

r   The inspectors noted that Entergy staff had received from industry sources operating experience related to the Calvert Cliffs plant, where water intrusion from a roof leak had caused a dual unit trip in 2010. The inspectors noted that, in May 2010, Entergy staff determined that the Indian Point Units were not susceptible to the same type of event due to the design of the electrical systems, in that the Units are electrically isolated from one another. Entergy staff determined that no additional actions were necessary to address this industry OE. The inspectors determined that, in this instance, Entergy's response was narrowly focused, given the presence of roof leaks in the Unit 3 PAB and the identified roof leak in the 31 EDG cell (WO 225582).

lndian Point Energy Center 450 Broadway, GSB Buchanan. NY 1051 1-0249 INDIAN POINT NUCLEAR GENERATING UNIT 3 - NRC PROBLEM IDENTIFICATION AND RESOLUTION INSPECTION REPORT 05000286/2011010

Dear Mr. Pollock:

On August 5,2011, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed an inspection at Indian Point Nuclear Generating Uriit 3. The enclosed report documents the inspection results, which were discussed on August 5,2011, with you and other members of your staff.

This inspection examined activities conducted under your license as they relate to the identification and resolution of problems and compliance with the Commission's rules and regulations and with the conditions of your license. Within these areas, the inspection involved examination of selected procedures and representative records, observations of activities, and interviews with personnel.

Based on the samples selected for review, the inspectors concluded that Entergy was generally effective in identifying, evaluating, and resolving problems. Entergy personnel identified problems and entered them into the Corrective Action Program (CAP) at a low threshold.

Station personnel generally screened issues appropriately for operability and reportability, and prioritized issues commensurate with the safety significance of the problems. Corrective actions addressed the identified problems and were typically implemented in a timely manner.

This report documents two NRC-identified findings of very low safety significance (Green). The inspectors determined that one of the findings also involved a violation of NRC requirements.

However, because of its very low safety significance and because it was entered into your CAP, the NRC is treating this as a non-cited violation (NCV) consistent with Section 2.3.2 of the NRC Enforcement Policy, lf you contest this NCV, you should provide a response within 30 days of the date of this inspection report, with the basis for your denial, to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, ATTN.: Document Control Desk, Washington DC 20555-0001; with copies to the Regional Administrator, Region 1; the Director, Office of Enforcement, United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555-0001; and the NRC Senior Resident Inspector at Indian Point Nuclear Generating Unit 3. In addition, if you disagree with the cross-cutting aspect assigned to any finding in this report, you should provide a response within 30 days of the date of this inspection report, with the basis for your disagreement, to the Regional Administrator, Region 1, and the NRC Senior Resident Inspector at Indian Point Nuclear Generating Unit 3. ln accordance with Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations Part 2.390 of the NRC's "Rules of Practice," a copy of this letter, its enclosure, and your response (if any) will be available electronically for public inspection in the NRC Public Document Room or from the Publicly Available Records (PARS) component of the NRC's document system (ADAMS). ADAMS is accessible from the NRC Web Site at http://rnnrrrw.nrc.sov/reading-rm/adams.html (the Public Electronic Reading Room).

Sincerely, k/'-A -V^oy.- ,r MelGray, Chief Projects Branch 2 Division of Reactor Projects Docket No. 50-286 License No. DPR-26 Enclosure: Inspection ReportNo. 05000286/2011010 M Attachment: Supplemental lnformation

SUMMARY OF FINDINGS

lR 050002g612011a10;7118111 - 815t11; Indian Point Nuclear Generating (lndian Point) unit 3;

Biennial Baseline lnspection of Problem ldentification and Resolution. The inspectors identified two findings in the area of effectiveness of identification and prioritization of issues.

This NRC team inspection was performed by two resident and two region-based inspectors.

Two findings of very low significance (Green) were identified. One finding was also determined to be a non-cited violation [Ncvy of trtilc requirements. The significance of most findings is indicated by their color (Grben, \\rvhite, Yellow, Red) using Inspection Manual Chapter (lMC)0609,,,significance Determination Process." Findings for which the significance determination process tsopl does not apply may be Green, or be assigned a severity level after NRC management ieview. The cross-cutting aspects for the findings were determined using IMC 0310, "Components within the Cross-Cutting Areas.' fng NRC's program for overseeing safe operation of commercial nuclear power reactors is described in NUREG-1649, "Reactor Oversight Process," Revision 4, dated December 2006' ldentification and Resolution of Problems The inspectors concluded that Entergy was generally effective in identifying, evaluating, and resolving problems. Entergy personnet iOeniified problems, entered them into the corrective action piogram at a low thre*shold, and prioritized issues commensurate with their safety significancl. In most cases, Entergy personnel appropriately screened issues,for operability arid reportability, and performed ca-usal analyses that appropriately considered extent of condition, generic issues and previous occuirences. The inspectors also determined that Entergy stJff typically implemented corrective actions to address the problems identified in the corrective action pro6t"r in a timely manner. However, the inspectors identified two findings, one of which was als-o a violation of regulatory requirements, and several weaknesses of minor safety significance associated with pro-blem identification, evaluation, and prioritization of corrective actions.

The inspectors concluded that, in general, Entergy adequately identified, reviewed, and applied relevant industry operating experience to Indian Point Nuclear Generating Unit 3 operations' In addition. based on those ilems selected for review, the inspectors determined that Entergy's audits and self-assessments were thorough.

Based on the interviews the inspectors conducted over the course of the inspection, observations of plant activities, and reviews of individual cAP and employee concerns program issues, the inspectors did not identify any indications that site personnel were unwilling to raise safety l.ru", nor oio they identify conditions that could have had a negative impact on the site's safety conscious work environment.

Cornerstone: Mitigating SYstems

.

Green.

The inspectors identified a finding of very low safety significance (Green) because Entergy personnel did not adequately imptemeni the procedural requirements of EN-DC-1 15,,ngineering Change Process,'i during the installation of a modification to the 33 instrument air deiiccantiryer. Specifically, Entergy staff incorrectly replaced fuses in the motor control center(MCC] which powers the dryer with smaller capacity fuses, rather than replacing existing control power fuses in the dryer control panel with fuses of increased capacityl as inteided by the design change. As a result, the fuses in the MCC performed their intended function ind burned out, deenergizing the dryer, and leading to excessive unavailability of the dryer and high humidity air in the instrument air header. Entergy staff entered this issue into their corrective action process as condition report (cR)-lP3-2011-03798.

The inspectors determined the finding was more than minor because the finding was similar to the'more than minor if'statement associated with example 5 b of Inspection Manual Chapter (lMC) 0612 Appendix E, "Examples of Minor lssues." Additionally, the finding was more than minor because it was associated with the Equipment Performance attribute of the Mitigating Systems cornerstone and affected the cornerstone objective to ensure the availability and capability of systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable con""qu"nces (i.e., core damage). Specifically, the unavailability of the 33 instrument air dryer caused moist air in the instrument air heider which in turn led to high humidity and low prersrre alarms on the 33 instrument air header. The inspectors_ evaluated the finding using IMC 0609, Attachment 4, "Phase 1 - Initial Screening and Characterization of Findlngs," and determined the finding was of very low safety significance because the finding was not a Jesign or qualificaiion deficiency, did not represent a loss of system safety functi5n, and did not sireen as potentially risk significant due to external initiating events.

This finding had a cross-cutting aspect in tne arel of Human Performance, associated with the Work Controf attribute. Specifically, Entergy personnel did not adequately coordinate the planning and implementaiion of tne engineering change process, which involved several site departments, and resulted in incorrectly installed fuses and multiple missed opportunities to both prevent and identify the error. (H'3(b)) (Section aOA2'1'c(1)) .

Green.

The inspectors identified a Green non-cited violation (NCV) of 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion XVl, "Corrective Action," for Entergy's failure to take adequate corrective actions for a condition adverse to quality involving service water (SW) pipes to the emergency diesel generators (EDGs). Speciiically, Entergy personnel did not take timely and appropriate corrective actions ior carbon steel pipe wall thinning on the common SW supply lines to the EDGs. Entergy staff entered this issue into their corrective action process as condition report (cR)-lCa-201 1-03g31. Entergy's short-term corrective actions included a structural engineering inspection, an operabilit--y evaluation, redirecting the source of continual wetting, anI reprior-itizinblnl sw piping refuibishment work order. subsequent to this inspection, Entergy personiel performed Jltrasonic testing of the affected area on one of the pipes that they fincluded was most affected and confirmed that the pipe remained operable.

The finding was more than minor because if left uncorrected the performance deficiency had i^.,!^^ .^,n{{inn the potentLl to lead to a more significant safety concern. Specifically,.the continuing wetting .' 'l.l ^ll.

raraahr and associated external corrosion of the pipe without appropriate monitoring. could adversely impact the structural integrity of one or both EDG SW supply headers' Ttte^inspectors evaluated the findin! in aicordance with lnspection Manual Chapter (lMC) 9609' Attachment 0609, Attachment 4, "Phase 1 - initial Screening and Characterization of Findings," and determined the finding was of very low safety significance (Green) because it was not a design or lualification def[iency, did not represent a loss of system safety function, and was noi risk significant with iespect to external events' This finding had a cross-cutting aspect in the irea of problem ldentification and Resolution, associated with the corrective Action Program attribute. specifically, Entergy personnel did not take timely corrective actions to address SW carbon steel pipe wall thinning due to external corrosion and periodically monitor the pipe for further degradation, commensurate with the safety significance of the pipe. (P.1(d)) (Section 4OA2'1.c(2))

REPORT DETAILS

OTHER ACTIVITIES

4OA2 Problem ldentification and Resolution (71152B- - 1 sample)

This inspection constitutes one biennial sample of problem identification and resolution as defined by Inspection Procedure71152. All documents reviewed during this inspection are listed in the Attachment to this report'

.1 a.

Inspection ScoPe The inspectors reviewed the procedures that described Entergy's corrective action program at Indian point Unit 3. To assess the effectiveness of the corrective action pro!r"t, the inspectors reviewed performance in three primary areas: problem iOeititication, prioritization and evaluation of issues, and corrective action implementat'on. The inspectors compared perfo_rmance in these areas to the requirements and standards contained in Title 10, Code of Federal Regulations (10 Cfnl part 50, Appendix B, Criterion XVl, "Corrective Action," and Entergy's procedure EN-LI-102, "Coriective Action Process," Revision 16. For each of these areas, the inspectors'considered risk insights from the station's risk analysis and reviewed condition reports (CRs) selectid across the seven cornerstones of safety in the NRCs Reactor Oversighi process. Additionally, the inspectors attended multiple Operations Focus, Condition Review Group (CRG);and Corrective Action Review Board (CARB)meetings. The inspectors selected items from the following functional areas for review: engine6ring, operations, maintenance, emergency preparedness, radiation protection' chemistry, physical security, and oversight programs'

(1) Effectiveness of Problem ldentification ln addition to the items described above, the inspectors reviewed a sample of completed corrective and preventative maintenance work orders, completed surveillance test procedures, operator logs, and periodic trend reports. The inspectors also completed field walkdowns of vario-us plani systems, such as the service water (SW)' auxiliary feedwater (AFW), and instrument air systems. Additionally, the inspectors reviewed a slmpte of condition reports written to document issues identified through internal self-assessments, audits, emergency preparedness drills, and the operating experience frogr"r. The inspectors c5mpleted this review to verify that Entergy staff entered conditions adverse to quality into their corrective action program as appropriate'
(2) Effectiveness of Prioritization and Evaluation of lssues The inspectors reviewed the evaluation and prioritization of a sample of cRs issued since the last NRC biennial problem ldentification and Resolution inspection completed in June 2009. The inspectors also reviewed cRs that were assigned lower levels of iign6i"un"e that did not include formal cause evaluations to ensure that they were properly classified. The inspectors' review included the appropriateness of the assigned significince, the scope and depth of the causal analysis, and the timeliness of resolution. The inspectors assessed whether the evaluations identified likely causes for the issues and developed appropriate corrective actions to address the identified causes. Further, the inspectors reviewed equipment operability determinations, reportability assessments, and extent-of-condition reviews for selected problems to verify these processes adequately addressed equipment operability, reporting of issues to the NRC, and the extent of the issues'
(3) Effectiveness of Corrective Actions The inspectors reviewed Entergy's completed corrective actions through documentation review and, in some cases, field walkdowns to determine whether the actions addressed the identified causes of the problems. The inspectors also reviewed CRs for adverse trends and repetitive problems to determine whether corrective actions were effective in addressing the broader issues. The inspectors reviewed Entergy's timeliness in implemeniing corrective actions and effectiveness in precluding recurrence for significant conditions adverse to quality. The inspectors also reviewed a sample of CRs associated with non-cited violations (NCVs) and findings to verify that Entergy personnel properly evaluated and resolved these issues. In addition, the inspectors expanded the corrective action review to five years to evaluate Entergy's actions related to conditions adverse to quality associated with SW system corrosion, instrument air system performance, and AFW system performance' b.

Assessment

(1) Effectiveness of Problem ldentification Based on the selected samples reviewed, plant walkdowns, and interviews of site personnel, the inspectors determined that Entergy personnel identified problems and entered them into the CAP at a low threshold. For the issues reviewed, the inspectors determined that problems or concerns were generally documented in sufficient detail to understand the issues. The inspectors observed managers and supervisors at CRG and CARB meetings appropriately questioning and challenging CRs to ensure clarification of the issues. The inspectors determined Entergy personnel trended equipment and programmatic issues at low levels and CR descriptions appropriately included reference io repeat occurrences of issues. ln general, the inspectors did not identify issues or concerns that had not been appropriately entered into the CAP for evaluation and resolution. However, the inspectors identified the following example of a minor issue that was not adequately identified by Entergy staff. Entergy staff promptly entered the issue into the CAP for resolution.

. The inspectors identified that Entergy personnel performed maintenance on three AFW 1ow control valves during tne 2Ot 1 refueling outage, but did not perform the required post maintenance tests (PMTs) on the valves prior to declaring the AFW system operable. The inspectors also identified the PMTs were not correctly scheduled to be completed after the maintenance that occurred during the outage' The inspectors noted that Entergy personnel subsequently satisfactorily stroked the valves during the next normally scheduled, quarterly AFW in-service testing approximately one week later.

The inspectors determined that the missed PMT for the valves was a performance deficiency. However, because the subsequent valve stroke times a week later indicated that the AFW valves were operable, the inspectors determined that the issue was of minor significance and not subject to enforcement action in accordance with the NRCs Enforcement Policy. Entergy staff initiated CR-IP3-2011-03815 for this performance deficiency.

(2) Effectiveness of Prioritization and Evaluation of lssues The inspectors determined that, in general, Entergy personnel appropriately prioritized and evaluated issues commensurate with their safety significance. CRs were screened for operability and reportability, categorized by significance, and assigned to a department for evaluation and resolution. The CR screening process considered human performance issues, radiological safety concerns, repetitiveness, and adverse trends.

The inspectors observed managers and supervisors at CRG and CARB meetings appropriately questioning and challenging CRs to ensure appropriate prioritization.

The inspectors determined that CRs were generally categorized for evaluation and resolution commensurate with the significance of the issues. Based on the sample of CRs reviewed, the guidance provided by the Entergy implementing procedures appeared sufficient to ensure consistency in categorization of the issues. Operability and reportability determinations were generally performed when conditions warranted and the evaluations supported the conclusions. Causal analyses appropriately considered the extent of the condition or problem, generic issues, and previous occurrences of the issue.

Notwithstanding these conclusions, the inspectors identified the following example where the evaluation of a repeat issue was not commensurate with the potential significance of the issue.

e Based on a nuclear plant operator (NPO) log and CAP database review, the inspectors noted that on several occasions NPOs documented degraded conditions regarding roof leaks and housekeeping issues in the primary auxiliary building (PAB)during the week of July 3, 2011. Further, the inspectors noted that some of these conditions had existed for six months. The inspectors determined that Entergy staff missed an opportunity to trend these conditions and ensure conditions were appropriately addressed in a timely manner consistent with CAP expectations.

However, because none of the leaks or housekeeping conditions challenged or impacted equipment important to safety, the inspectors determined that the issues were of minor significance and not subject to enforcement action in accordance with the NRCs Enforcement Policy. Entergy staff documented this issue in CR-lP3-2011-03295.

I

(3) Effqcjivene,ss oJ C-orrective Aptions The inspectors concluded that corrective actions for identified deficiencies were generally timely and adequately implemented. For significant conditions adverse to quality, corrective actions were identified to prevent recurrence. The inspectors concluded that corrective actions to address the sample of NRC NCVs and findings since the last problem identification and resolution inspection were timely and effective.

The inspectors noted, based on the samples inspected, that Entergy staff completed effectiveness reviews for significant issues to verify that implemented corrective actions were effective. However, the inspectors identified two issues (replacement of incorrect fuses associated with the 33 instrument air dryer, and ineffective actions taken to address leakage from a SW vacuum breaker that was causing corrosion issues) that had contributed to findings that were determined to be more than minor (Green). These findings are documented in the following Section (Section 4OA2.1.c).

Introduction:

The inspectors identified a finding of very low safety significance (Green)because Entergy personnel did not adequately implement the procedural requirements of EN-DC-115, "Engineering Change Process," during the installation of a modification to 33 instrument air desiccant dryer.

Description:

Entergy personnel developed Engineering Change (EC) 8501 to prevent intermittent failures of the 33 instrument air desiccant dryer blower motor due to high motor inrush currents during startup. Based on a vendor recommendation, the EC directed the replacement of existing four amp control power fuses with six amp fuses.

The fuses are located in the 33 instrument air dryer control panel.

During implementation of the EC on May 11, 2011, Entergy personnel removed 15 amp fuseslrom the 33 motor control center (MCC), which powers the 33 instrument air dryer, rather than removing the four amp fuses from the dryer control panel. The electricians proceeded to replace the 15 amp fuses with the new six amp fuses. When the instrument air dryer was reenergized, the six amp fuses, which did not have sufficient amperage capacity for the MCC application, performed their intended function and burned out, deenergizing the dryer. The dryer remained deenergized and unavailable for a period of approximately two weeks until Entergy personnel found water in the air supply to BFD-PCV-3, the steam generator blowdown recovery outlet backpressure controller. Upon troubleshooting the water issue, Entergy personnelfound and corrected the undersized fuses in 33 MCC and placed the dryer back in service. On June 9, 2011, the four amp fuses in the dryer control panel were correctly replaced with six amp fuses, in accordance with the EC. This issue was previously entered into Entergy's CAP as CR-lP3-2011-02767, CR-lP3-2011-02918, and CR-lP3-2011-02920' At tne iime of the inspection, these CRs had been closed to corrective actions already taken, which included correcting the fuse error and coaching personnel to read the EC documentation more thoroughlY.

The inspectors questioned the causes of humidity and low pressure alarms on the 33 instrument air header, which had been documented in condition reports initiated in June and July 2011. Through interviews with the system engin-eer, the inspectors learned that after the fuse issue ha-d been resolved, troubleshooting of high humidity and low pressure alarms on the 33 instrument air header had revealed that the 33 instrument air dryer had been degraded by moisture passing into the air header while the dryer had been unavailable due to the blown fuses. Degradation of the dryer's tower swapping mechanism allowed air to partially bypass the dryer, thereby causing lhe high humidity and low pressure alarms.

'The inspectors noted that additional unavailability of the dryer was acciued while Entergy personnel performed troubleshooting and repair of the degraded dryer. Based on ine inspectors' questioning, lltergy personneldocumented thjissue as a maintenance rule functional failure of the 33 instrument air dryer and calculated the total cumulative unavailability of the dryer attributed to the modification error. The calculated unavailability was 580 hours, which exceeded the licensee's established Maintenance Rule (10 CFR 50.65) threshold of 525 hours for (a)(1 ) consideration.

The inspectors reviewed EN-DC-1 15, "Engineering Change Process," and identified several examples where Entergy personnel did not implement the requirements of the modification process. First, the EC package incorrectly identified the location of the fuses, and tfris error was translated into the work package which was used by maintenance personnelwho implemented the EC. Specifically, the Post Modification Test plan pait age stated that the four amp fuses were located in the 33 MCC' Additionally, the maintenance personnelwho implemented the EC did not follow the fuse verification procedure when removing the 15 amp fuses from the MCC and prior to reinstalling ihe six amp fuses. Finally, the PMT was not performed in a timely manner in that the 3i instrumentair train was piaced back in service without a PMT having been performed. The inspectors determined that each of these examples had been opportunities, or "barriers", built into the Engineering change process, through which eniergy personnel could have either prevented or recognized the error and avoided the cumulative unavailability of the instrument air dryer and associated moist air in the air header.

The inspectors determined these problems were not identified by Entergy personnel' Entergy staff entered this issue inio their CAP as CR-lP3-2011-03798' Planned correJtiue actions include performing an Apparent Cause Evaluation for the issue.

Analvsis: The inspectors determined that the issue was a performance deficiency o-e Entergy personnel did not follow procedures to.effectively implement the engineering cnihge to the 33 instrument air dryer. The inspectors determined that the finjing was-morelhan minor because the finding was similar to the "more than minor if' statement associated with example 5.b of Inspection Manual chapter (lMc) 0612 Appendix E,,,Examples of Minor lssues." Additionally, the finding was more than minor because it was associated with the Equipment Performance attribute of the Mitigating Systems cornerstone and affected the cornerstone objective to ensure the availability ano capauility of systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences (i.e., core damage). Specifically, the unavailability of the 33 instrument air dryer resulted in moist air in the instrument air header which in turn led to high humidity and low pressure conditions on the 33 instrument air header. The inspectors evaluated the finding using IMC 0609, Attachment 4, "Phase 1 - lnitial Screening and Characterization of Findings," and determined the finding was of very low safety significance (Green) becaJse the finding was not a !9sio1 or qualification deficiency, did nJt,"pr"r"ni a loss of system safety function, and did not screen as potentially risk significant due to external initiating events.

The inspectors determined that the finding had a cross-cutting aspect in the area of Human performance, associated with the Work Control attribute, because Entergy personnel did not appropriately coordinate work activities by incorporating actions to address: 1) the n"eO tor workgroups to communicate, coordinate, and cooperate with each otherduring activities in wnicn interdepartmental coordination is necessary to assure plant and human performance; and 2) the need to keep personnel apprised of work status and the operational impact of work activities. Specifically, Entergy personnel did not adequately coordinate the planning and implementation of the engineering clrange process, which involved several site departments, and resulted in incorrectly instalTed'fuses and multiple missed opportunities to both prevent and subsequently identify the error. (H.3(b))

Enforcement:

Enforcement does not apply because the performance deficiency did not involve a violation of regulatory requirements. The instrument air system is not a safety r"l"t"O system and 10 Cfn pirt 50 Appendix B requirements are not applicable.

Because this issue does not involve a violation of regulatory requiremenls 91{ is of very tow safety significance, it is being treated as a finding (FlN). (FlN 0500028612011010'01' Frocedural Requ i rements of Engineeri ng Change Process Not I mplemented)lntroduction. The inspectors identified a Green non-cited violation of 10 CFR 50' App".d" q Criterion XVl, "Corrective Action," for Entergy's failure to take adequate coirective actions for a condition adverse to quality involving SW pipes to the EDGs' Specifically, Entergy personnel did not take timely and appropriate corrective actions for carbon steel pipe w-ati tninning on the common SW supply lines to the EDGs'

Description.

on July 19,2011, the inspectors observed that a leaking sw return line ffi breaker (SWN-6g) ported water into the piping pit in the EDG valve room, which inJirectly sprayed'the bottom of both redundant EDG SW supply pipe headers' The inspectors'not-eo that this portion of both 1o-inch diameter sw supply headers was continuously wetted over a length of approximately two fe_et. The inspectors noted that the vacuum breaker had been leaking since February 2009. Based on the corroded condition of the bottom portion of both headers and the quantity of accumulated rust flakes/pieces beneath both headers, the inspectors questioned the condition of these pipes.

Entergy personnel informed the inspectors that they had originally identifled the external corrosion on the SW supply lines aithat specific location on Septembgr 30, 2008 (CR Lp3-2008-02383). Tne inspectors reviewed CR-;P3-2008-02383 and Entergy's associated corrective actions and noted the following:

(1) the CR initiator, operations, and cRG screened the cR as not requiring an operability review (thus no operability review was performed for this safety-related SW piping degraded condition);
(2) CRG classified the CR as significance "D" and closed the CR to WO 166970;
(3) WO 166970 was created to clean, repaint and inspect the piping per the external corrosion monitoring program;
(4) planning took the WO to "plan" status on October 1, 2008; and
(5) as of August 2011, the WO was active and targeted to work in 2015. The inspectors requested operability evaluations of this degrading condition, other associated CRs, documented inspections (including ultrasonic tests) or trending reports, and any associated WOs since October 2008. Entergy personnel stated that no additional documented information was identified but indicated that the system engineers periodically inspected the piping during their walkdowns.

Based on the inspectors' questions, Entergy staff initiated CR-lP3-2011-03831. Entergy structural engineering personnel inspected the piping on July 21. Based on their input regarding iron oxide exfoliation, an estimate of SW piping wall loss and no leakage, engineering personnel determined that the structural integrity of the pipe was not affected and that the pipe remained operable. The inspectors reviewed Entergy's operability evaluation and determined that it was adequate based on the information available. Entergy's short-term corrective actions also included redirecting the vacuum breaker discharge to a local sump (completed on August 2) and reprioritizing the SW piping refurbishment work order (scheduled to work in 2011). Subsequent to this inspeition, Entergy personnel performed ultrasonic testing of the affected area on one of the pipes that they concluded was most affected and confirmed that the pipe remained operable.

Analvsis. The inspectors determined that Entergy's failure to take adequate corrective actions for an adverse condition associated with the EDG SW supply piping was a performance deficiency that was reasonably within Entergy's ability to foresee and prevent. Specifically, Entergy personnel did not take timely and appropriate corrective actions commensurate with the safety significance of a potential common mode failure of all three EDGs due to carbon steel pipe wall thinning on the common SW supply. The finding was determined to be more than minor because if left uncorrected the performance deficiency had the potential to lead to a more significant safety concern.

Specifically, the continuing wetting and associated external corrosion of the pipe without appropriate monitoring could adversely impact the structural integrity of one or both EDG SW supply headers. The inspectors evaluated the finding in accordance with IMC 0609, 0609.04, "Phase 1 - Initial Screening and Characterization of Findings," Table 4afor the Mitigating Systems Cornerstone. The inspectors determined that the finding was of very low safety significance (Green) because it was not a design or qualification deficiency, did not represent a loss of system safety function, and was not risk significant with respect to external events.

This finding had a cross-cutting aspect in the area of Problem ldentification and Resolution, associated with the Corrective Action Program attribute, because Entergy personnel did not take appropriate corrective actions to address an adverse trend in a timely manner, commensurate with the safety significance. Specifically, Entergy personnel did not take timely corrective actions to address SW carbon steel pipe wall ifrinning due to external corrosion, such as eliminating the source of the wetting by redireciing the flow of water, evaluating the as-found structural integrity of the pipe, and

periodically monitoring the pipe for further degradation, commensurate with the safety significance of the pipe. (P.1(d))

Enforcement.

10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion XVl, "Corrective Action," requires, in part, that, "Measures shall be established to assure that conditions adverse to quality, such as failures, malfunctions, deficiencies, deviations, defective material and equipment, and non-conformances are promptly identified and corrected." Contrary to the above, Entergy staff did not promptly correct the degraded condition of the EDG SW piping from September 30, 2008, to August 2, 2011. Because this violation was of very low safety significance and it was entered into Entergy's CAP (CR-IP3-201 1-03831), it is being treated as an NCV consistent with the Enforcement Policy. (NGV 05000286/2011010-02, Inadequate Gorrective Action for Degraded EDG SW Piping) Assessment of the Use of Operatino Experience (OE) Insoection Scope The inspectors selected a sample of CRs associated with the review of industry OE to determine whether Entergy personnel appropriately evaluated the OE information for applicability to Indian Point Unit 3 and had taken appropriate actions, when warranted.

The inspectors reviewed CR evaluations of OE documents associated with a sample of NRC generic letters and information notices to ensure that Entergy staff adequately considered the underlying problems associated with the issues for resolution through their CAP. The inspectors also observed CRG and CARB meetings to determine if industry OE was considered during the CR screening and resolution processes.

Assessment The inspectors determined that, in general, Entergy staff appropriately considered industry OE information for applicability, and used the information for corrective and preventive actions to identify and prevent similar issues when appropriate. The inspectors determined that OE was appropriately applied and lessons learned were communicated and incorporated into plant operations and procedures when applicable.

The inspectors observed that industry OE was discussed and considered during the conduct of CRG and CARB meetings. However, the inspectors noted in one CR that, Entergy staff had not appropriately considered internal and industry OE and/or effectively used the information to implement timely corrective and preventive actions. For example: r The inspectors noted that Entergy staff had received from industry sources operating experience related to the Calvert Cliffs plant, where water intrusion from a roof leak had caused a dual unit trip in 2010. The inspectors noted that, in May 2010, Entergy staff determined that the Indian Point Units were not susceptible to the same type of event due to the design of the electrical systems, in that the Units are electrically isolated from one another. Entergy staff determined that no additional actions were necessary to address this industry OE. The inspectors determined that, in this instance, Entergy's response was narrowly focused, given the presence of roof leaks in the Unit 3 PAB and the identified roof leak in the 31 EDG cell (WO 225582).

b.

.3 a.

However, the inspectors noted that, as of July 2Q11, Entergy had an open action item in their CAP to perform an OE review of NRC Information Notice 2011-12, "Reactor Trips Resulting from Water Intrusion into Electrical Equipment," which the NRC issued in June 2Q11in response to the Calvert Cliffs event. Therefore, because none of the leaks challenged or impacted equipment important to safety, and Entergy has open actions to address potential site-specific applicability of the OE regarding roof leaks, the inspectors determined that the performance aspects regarding this issue were of minor significance and not subject to enforcement action in accordance with the NRCs Enforcement Policy.

Findinqs No findings were identified.

Assessment of Self-Asqegsmentg and Audits Inspection Scope The inspectors reviewed a sample of Quality Assurance (aA) audits, including a review of several of the findings from the most recent audit of the CAP, and self-assessments focused on various plant programs. These reviews were performed to determine if problems identified through these assessments were entered into the CAP, when appropriate, and whether corrective actions were initiated to address identified deficiencies. The effectiveness of the audits and assessments was evaluated by comparing audit and assessment results against self-revealing and NRC-identified observations made during the inspection.

Assessment The inspectors concluded that QA audits and self-assessments were critical, thorough, and generally effective in identifying issues. The inspectors observed that these audits and self-assessments were completed by personnel knowledgeable in the subject areas and were completed to a sufficient depth to identify issues that were then entered into the CAP for evaluation. Corrective actions associated with the issues were implemented commensurate with their safety significance.

Findinqs No findings were identified.

Assessment of Safetv Conscious Work Environment lnspection Scope During interviews with station personnel, the inspectors assessed aspects of the safety conscious work environment at Indian Point Unit 3. Specifically, as part of personnel interviews during the inspection, the inspectors asked questions to identify whether station personnel were hesitant to raise safety concerns to their management and/or the NRC. The inspectors also interviewed the station Employee Concerns Program (ECP)b.

coordinator to determine what actions were implemented to ensure employees were aware of the program and its availability with regard to raising concerns. The inspectors reviewed a numder of ECP files to ensure that issues were entered into the CAP when appropriate.

b.

Assessment During interviews, plant staff expressed a willingness to use the CAP to identify plant issueJ and deficiencies and indicated that they were willing to raise safety issues. The inspectors noted that no one interviewed stated that they personally experienced or were aware of a situation where there were indications an individual had been hesitant to raise a safety issue. All persons interviewed demonstrated an adequate knowledge of the CAp unO gCp. Based on these limited interviews, the inspectors concluded that there was no evidence of significant challenges to the free flow of information regarding safety concerns.
