=====Description:=====
=====Description:=====
A primary function of the CAC/CAD system is to sample the containment atmosphere to determine combustible gas concentrations during normal power operations. SV-3-7D-3671G is a solenoid operated valve (SV) located in the sample line from the drywell to the CAC/CAD analyzer. This valve normally remains open to support the sampling function. However, the valve has a safety function to close during certain primary containment isolation actuation signals. . This SV, along with multiple identical CAC/CAD SVs, is local leak rate tested (LLRT) to ensure it maintains its leak tightness requirements for containment operability. On March 31, 2017, the NRC problem identification and resolution (PIR) team identified a NCV for Exelon not addressing elevated leakage in PCIVs SV-3-7D-3671A and SV-3-7D-3671D in a timely manner (NCV 05000278/2017008-02).

Significance: The inspectors evaluated the significance of the finding using IMC 0609, Appendix A, Significance Determination Process for Findings at Power, Exhibit 3 - Barrier Integrity Screening Questions. The inspectors determined this finding was of very low safety significance (Green) because the finding did not result in an actual open pathway in the physical integrity of the reactor containment or involve an actual reduction in the function of hydrogen igniters in the reactor containment.

Cross-Cutting Aspect: The inspectors determined this finding had a cross-cutting aspect in the area of Human Performance, Design Margins, because Exelon did not maintain its containment isolation valve design margin by addressing the long-standing CAC/CAD debris issue in a timely manner. Specifically, the station had not scheduled the CAs to restore the design margin for the degraded SV-3-7D-3671G SV due to scheduling backlogs. [H.6]

Observations                                                       71152 The inspectors reviewed Exelons evaluation of the structural monitoring program issue and the associated CAs. Exelons response resulted in identifying five causes for the implementation variations with nine CAs. Their evaluation considered the operability implications of the NRCs observation, considered the extent of condition and cause, potential generic implications and common cause, and previous occurrences. The CAs were classified and prioritized in accordance with Exelons CAP guidance, and contained identification of root and contributing causes of the problem. The inspectors concluded that Exelons corrective actions were implemented commensurate with the safety impact of the cause, and were appropriately focused to correct the problem. The causes and CAs were effectively communicated to station management.

Design Margins 71111.12 A Green self-revealing non-cited violation (NCV) of 10 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 50,

Appendix B, Criterion XVI, Corrective Action, was identified because Exelon did not implement prompt corrective actions to address a condition adverse to quality (CAQ) on primary containment isolation valve (PCIV) SV-3-7D-3671G. Specifically, drywell air sampling valve SV-3-7D-3671G failed to perform its PCIV function on February 1, 2018, by failing to stroke closed during its surveillance test as a result of untimely corrective actions. Exelon isolated the associated piping in accordance with technical specifications (TSs).

PLANT STATUS

Unit 2 operated at or near rated thermal power (RTP) for the entire inspection period.

Unit 3 began the inspection period at RTP. On February 27, 2018, the unit was down powered to 18 percent thermal power and the turbine was removed from service to repair turbine overspeed probes. The unit was returned to RTP on March 2, 2018, and remained at or near RTP for the remainder of the inspection period.

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 Exelons performance and compliance with Commission rules and regulations, license conditions, site procedures, and standards.

INSPECTION RESULTS

Untimely Corrective Actions to Address Primary Containment Isolation Valve Condition Adverse to Quality Cornerstone Significance Cross-Cutting Aspect Report Section Barrier Integrity

Green NCV 05000278-2018-001-01

H.6 - Human Performance, Design Margins 71111.12

Introduction:

A Green self-revealing NCV of 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion XVI, Corrective Action (CA), was identified because Exelon did not implement prompt CAs to address a condition adverse to quality (CAQ) on PCIV SV-3-7D-3671G. Specifically, drywell air sampling valve SV-3-7D-3671G failed to perform its PCIV function on February 1, 2018, by failing to stroke closed during its surveillance test as a result of untimely CAs. Exelon isolated the associated piping in accordance with TSs.

Description:

A primary function of the CAC/CAD system is to sample the containment atmosphere to determine combustible gas concentrations during normal power operations. SV-3-7D-3671G is a solenoid operated valve (SV) located in the sample line from the drywell to the CAC/CAD analyzer. This valve normally remains open to support the sampling function. However, the valve has a safety function to close during certain primary containment isolation actuation signals.. This SV, along with multiple identical CAC/CAD SVs, is local leak rate tested (LLRT) to ensure it maintains its leak tightness requirements for containment operability. On March 31, 2017, the NRC problem identification and resolution (PIR) team identified a NCV for Exelon not addressing elevated leakage in PCIVs SV-3-7D-3671A and SV-3-7D-3671D in a timely manner (NCV 05000278/2017008-02).

As a result, Exelon performed a work-group evaluation (WGE) under IR 3990490 to address CAs regarding multiple failures for the grouping of CAC/CAD solenoid PCIVs (SV 2 (3)-07D-2

(3) 671A-G). The WGE identified that the SV bonnet tube, pilot seat, valve body, and plunger assembly were coated with a film of corrosion debris that did not allow the assembly to move freely. Exelon's WGE created the CA to implement a design change to replace the CAC/CAD SVs with a new debris-tolerant style Valcor design. As an interim CA until the new design strategy could be implemented, Exelon specified that preventative maintenance (PM)activities be performed during the SVs scheduled LLRTs. The PMs included replacing the resilient parts and vacuuming the corrosion debris from the valve internals and from the surrounding area. Exelon's engineering department provided new due dates for the resilient parts PM and new cleaning PM in order to align with the scheduled LLRTs which was approved on August 25, 2017. The CA was then closed on August 31, 2017.

A review of the history of the SVs showed that SV-3-7D-3671G had the highest number of failures, five, compared to the other SVs. Exelon targeted the newly established PM for SV-3-7D-3671G to be performed on December 7, 2017, during the valve's regularly scheduled LLRT. However, on December 7, 2017, Exelon performed the LLRT, which successfully passed, but did not perform the PM to vacuum the valve internals and surrounding area. On February 1, 2018, SV-3-7D-3671G failed to stroke closed during its surveillance test, ST-I-07C-470-3, Drywell Exhaust Sample Isolation Valve Functional Test, due to corrosion debris inhibiting valve movement. The inspectors interviewed Exelon maintenance and engineering personnel and determined that the PM scheduled for December 7, 2017 was not performed because of a maintenance scheduling backlog.

Contrary to procedure WC-AA-120, PM Database Revision Requirements, Revision 4, the station had not scheduled the PMs within 60 days of their approval.

In addition, the inspectors determined that the backlog had not been prioritized according to safety significance, failure history, or days past its original schedule date. Following the February 2018 failure, Exelon isolated the associated piping in accordance with TSs.

Corrective Actions: Exelon documented the issue into the CAP, ensured future PMs were appropriately scheduled, performed the PM on SV-3-7D-3671G, and accelerated the schedule to implement the design change.

Corrective Action Reference: IR 4099762

Performance Assessment:

Performance Deficiency: The inspectors determined that not promptly correcting a CAQ associated with PCIV SV-3-7D-3671G was a performance deficiency that was within Exelon's ability to foresee and correct.

Screening: The finding is more than minor, because it is associated with the barrier performance attribute of the barrier integrity cornerstone and adversely affected the cornerstone's objective to provide reasonable assurance that the containment design barrier protect the public from radionuclide releases caused by accidents or events. Specifically, SV-3-7D-3671G failed to perform its PCIV function as a result of untimely CAs.

Significance: The inspectors evaluated the significance of the finding using IMC 0609, Appendix A, Significance Determination Process for Findings at Power, Exhibit 3 - Barrier Integrity Screening Questions. The inspectors determined this finding was of very low safety significance (Green) because the finding did not result in an actual open pathway in the physical integrity of the reactor containment or involve an actual reduction in the function of hydrogen igniters in the reactor containment.

Cross-Cutting Aspect: The inspectors determined this finding had a cross-cutting aspect in the area of Human Performance, Design Margins, because Exelon did not maintain its containment isolation valve design margin by addressing the long-standing CAC/CAD debris issue in a timely manner. Specifically, the station had not scheduled the CAs to restore the design margin for the degraded SV-3-7D-3671G SV due to scheduling backlogs. [H.6]

Enforcement:

Violation: 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion XVI, Corrective Action, requires that measures shall be established to assure conditions adverse to quality are promptly identified and corrected. Contrary to this requirement, from March 31, 2017 until February 1, 2018, Exelon did not assure a CAQ associated with PCIVs was promptly identified and corrected.

Specifically, Exelon did not promptly remove corrosion debris that rendered SV-3-7D-3671G inoperable for its PCIV function. As a result, SV-3-7D-3671G failed to stroke closed during its surveillance test on February 1, 2018.

Disposition: This violation is being treated as an NCV, consistent with Section 2.3.2a of the Enforcement Policy.

Observations 71152 The inspectors reviewed Exelons evaluation of the structural monitoring program issue and the associated CAs. Exelons response resulted in identifying five causes for the implementation variations with nine CAs. Their evaluation considered the operability implications of the NRCs observation, considered the extent of condition and cause, potential generic implications and common cause, and previous occurrences. The CAs were classified and prioritized in accordance with Exelons CAP guidance, and contained identification of root and contributing causes of the problem. The inspectors concluded that Exelons corrective actions were implemented commensurate with the safety impact of the cause, and were appropriately focused to correct the problem. The causes and CAs were effectively communicated to station management.

EXIT MEETINGS AND DEBRIEFS

The inspectors verified no proprietary information was retained or documented in this report.

On April 6, 2018, the inspectors presented the quarterly resident inspector inspection results to Mr. Matthew Herr, Plant Manager, and other members of the Exelon staff.

A Green self-revealing non-cited violation (NCV) of 10 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 50,

Appendix B, Criterion XVI, Corrective Action, was identified because Exelon did not implement

prompt corrective actions to address a condition adverse to quality (CAQ) on primary

containment isolation valve (PCIV) SV-3-7D-3671

G. Specifically, drywell air sampling valve

SV-3-7D-3671G failed to perform its PCIV function on February 1, 2018, by failing to stroke

closed during its surveillance test as a result of untimely corrective actions. Exelon isolated

the associated piping in accordance with technical specifications (TSs).

PLANT STATUS

Unit 2 operated at or near rated thermal power (RTP) for the entire inspection period.

Unit 3 began the inspection period at RT

P. On February 27, 2018, the unit was down powered

to 18 percent thermal power and the turbine was removed from service to repair turbine

overspeed probes. The unit was returned to RTP on March 2, 2018, and remained at or near

RTP for the remainder of the inspection period.

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 Exelons performance and

compliance with Commission rules and regulations, license conditions, site procedures, and

standards.

71111.12

Introduction: A Green self-revealing NCV of 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion XVI,

Corrective Action (CA), was identified because Exelon did not implement prompt CAs to

address a condition adverse to quality (CAQ) on PCIV SV-3-7D-3671

G. Specifically, drywell

air sampling valve SV-3-7D-3671G failed to perform its PCIV function on February 1, 2018,

by failing to stroke closed during its surveillance test as a result of untimely CAs. Exelon

isolated the associated piping in accordance with TSs.

Description: A primary function of the CAC/CAD system is to sample the containment

atmosphere to determine combustible gas concentrations during normal power

operations. SV-3-7D-3671G is a solenoid operated valve (SV) located in the sample line from

the drywell to the CAC/CAD analyzer. This valve normally remains open to support the

sampling function. However, the valve has a safety function to close during certain primary

containment isolation actuation signals.. This SV, along with multiple identical CAC/CAD

SVs, is local leak rate tested (LLRT) to ensure it maintains its leak tightness requirements for

containment operability. On March 31, 2017, the NRC problem identification and resolution

(PIR) team identified a NCV for Exelon not addressing elevated leakage in PCIVs SV-3-7D-

3671A and SV-3-7D-3671D in a timely manner (NCV 05000278/2017008-02).

As a result, Exelon performed a work-group evaluation (WGE) under IR 3990490 to address

CAs regarding multiple failures for the grouping of CAC/CAD solenoid PCIVs (SV 2 (3)-07D-2

(3) 671A-G). The WGE identified that the SV bonnet tube, pilot seat, valve body, and plunger

assembly were coated with a film of corrosion debris that did not allow the assembly to move

freely. Exelon's WGE created the CA to implement a design change to replace the CAC/CAD

SVs with a new debris-tolerant style Valcor design. As an interim CA until the new design

strategy could be implemented, Exelon specified that preventative maintenance (PM)

activities be performed during the SVs scheduled LLRTs. The PMs included replacing the

resilient parts and vacuuming the corrosion debris from the valve internals and from the

surrounding area. Exelon's engineering department provided new due dates for the resilient

parts PM and new cleaning PM in order to align with the scheduled LLRTs which was

approved on August 25, 2017. The CA was then closed on August 31, 2017.

A review of the history of the SVs showed that SV-3-7D-3671G had the highest number of

failures, five, compared to the other SVs. Exelon targeted the newly established PM for

SV-3-7D-3671G to be performed on December 7, 2017, during the valve's regularly

scheduled LLR

T. However, on December 7, 2017, Exelon performed the LLRT, which

successfully passed, but did not perform the PM to vacuum the valve internals and

surrounding area. On February 1, 2018, SV-3-7D-3671G failed to stroke closed during its

surveillance test, ST-I-07C-470-3, Drywell Exhaust Sample Isolation Valve Functional Test,

due to corrosion debris inhibiting valve movement. The inspectors interviewed Exelon

maintenance and engineering personnel and determined that the PM scheduled for

December 7, 2017 was not performed because of a maintenance scheduling backlog.

Contrary to procedure WC-AA-120, PM Database Revision Requirements, Revision 4,

the station had not scheduled the PMs within 60 days of their approval.

In addition, the inspectors determined that the backlog had not been prioritized according to

safety significance, failure history, or days past its original schedule date. Following the

February 2018 failure, Exelon isolated the associated piping in accordance with TSs.

Corrective Actions: Exelon documented the issue into the CAP, ensured future PMs were

appropriately scheduled, performed the PM on SV-3-7D-3671G, and accelerated the

schedule to implement the design change.

Corrective Action Reference: IR 4099762

Performance Assessment:

Performance Deficiency: The inspectors determined that not promptly correcting a CAQ

associated with PCIV SV-3-7D-3671G was a performance deficiency that was within Exelon's

ability to foresee and correct.

Screening: The finding is more than minor, because it is associated with the barrier

performance attribute of the barrier integrity cornerstone and adversely affected the

cornerstone's objective to provide reasonable assurance that the containment design barrier

protect the public from radionuclide releases caused by accidents or events. Specifically,

SV-3-7D-3671G failed to perform its PCIV function as a result of untimely CAs.

Significance: The inspectors evaluated the significance of the finding using IMC 0609,

Appendix AProperty "Inspection Manual Chapter" (as page type) with input value "NRC Inspection Manual 0609,</br></br>Appendix A" contains invalid characters or is incomplete and therefore can cause unexpected results during a query or annotation process., Significance Determination Process for Findings at Power, Exhibit 3 - Barrier

Integrity Screening Questions. The inspectors determined this finding was of very low safety

significance (Green) because the finding did not result in an actual open pathway in the

physical integrity of the reactor containment or involve an actual reduction in the function of

hydrogen igniters in the reactor containment.

Cross-Cutting Aspect: The inspectors determined this finding had a cross-cutting aspect in the

area of Human Performance, Design Margins, because Exelon did not maintain its

containment isolation valve design margin by addressing the long-standing CAC/CAD debris

issue in a timely manner. Specifically, the station had not scheduled the CAs to restore the

design margin for the degraded SV-3-7D-3671G SV due to scheduling backlogs. [H.6]

Enforcement:

Violation: 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion XVI, Corrective Action, requires that measures

shall be established to assure conditions adverse to quality are promptly identified and

corrected. Contrary to this requirement, from March 31, 2017 until February 1, 2018, Exelon

did not assure a CAQ associated with PCIVs was promptly identified and corrected.

Specifically, Exelon did not promptly remove corrosion debris that rendered SV-3-7D-3671G

inoperable for its PCIV function. As a result, SV-3-7D-3671G failed to stroke closed during its

surveillance test on February 1, 2018.

Disposition: This violation is being treated as an NCV, consistent with Section 2.3.2a of the

Enforcement Policy.

Observations

71152

The inspectors reviewed Exelons evaluation of the structural monitoring program issue and

the associated CAs. Exelons response resulted in identifying five causes for the

implementation variations with nine CAs. Their evaluation considered the operability

implications of the NRCs observation, considered the extent of condition and cause, potential

generic implications and common cause, and previous occurrences. The CAs were classified

and prioritized in accordance with Exelons CAP guidance, and contained identification of root

and contributing causes of the problem. The inspectors concluded that Exelons corrective

actions were implemented commensurate with the safety impact of the cause, and were

appropriately focused to correct the problem. The causes and CAs were effectively

communicated to station management.

EXIT MEETINGS AND DEBRIEFS

The inspectors verified no proprietary information was retained or documented in this report.

On April 6, 2018, the inspectors presented the quarterly resident inspector inspection results

to Mr. Matthew Herr, Plant Manager, and other members of the Exelon staff.
