                                      SUMMARY OF FINDINGS
Inspection Report (IR) 05000255/2015003, 07/01/2015-09/30/2015; Palisades Nuclear Plant;
Operability Determinations and Functional Assessments; and Radioactive Gaseous and Liquid
Effluent Treatment.
This report covers a 3-month period of inspection by resident inspectors and announced
baseline inspections by regional inspectors. Two Green findings were identified by the
inspectors. These findings were considered non-cited violations (NCVs) of U.S. Nuclear
Regulatory Commission (NRC) regulations. The significance of inspection findings is indicated
by their color (i.e., greater than Green, or Green, White, Yellow, Red) and determined using
Inspection Manual Chapter (IMC) 0609, Significance Determination Process, dated
April 29, 2015. Cross-cutting aspects are determined using IMC 0310, Aspects Within the
Cross-Cutting Areas, dated December 4, 2014. All violations of NRC requirements are
dispositioned in accordance with the NRCs Enforcement Policy dated July 9, 2013. The NRC's
program for overseeing the safe operation of commercial nuclear power reactors is described in
NUREG-1649, Reactor Oversight Process, Revision 5, dated February 2014.
        Cornerstone: Mitigating Systems
        Green. An NRC-identified finding of very low safety significance and an associated NCV
        of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) Part 50, Appendix B,
        Criterion III, Design Control, was identified for the failure to justify continued service of
        safety-related electrolytic capacitors that were installed beyond their recommended
        service life associated with the safety-related containment floor level indicating
        transmitters (LITs). Specifically, on June 21, 2015, containment floor LIT LIT-0446B
        and LIT-0446A did not satisfy the acceptance criteria of the technical specification
        surveillance monthly channel checks and LIT-0446B was declared inoperable. Further
        troubleshooting identified a failure of the electrolytic capacitor within the transmitters
        converter module and that this failure was most likely due to age since the transmitter
        had been in service for greater than its recommended service life. In addition to entering
        this issue into their Corrective Action Program (CAP) as CR-PLP-2015-04972, the
        licensee replaced the failed components and planned to develop a replacement
        schedule for non-critical, safety-related electrolytic capacitors.
        The performance deficiency was determined to be more than minor because it was
        associated with the Equipment Performance attribute of the Mitigating Systems
        cornerstone and adversely affected the cornerstone objective of ensuring the availability,
        reliability, and capability of systems that respond to initiating events to prevent
        undesirable consequences (i.e., core damage). The finding screened as having very low
        safety significance based on answering No to all of the screening questions in the
        Mitigating Structures, Systems, and Components (SSCs) and Functionality section of
        IMC 0609, Appendix A, The Significance Determination Process for Findings At-Power,
        Exhibit 1, Mitigating Systems Screening Questions. The finding had a cross-cutting
        aspect of Operating Experience in the Problem Identification and Resolution
        cross-cutting area because the licensee did not effectively and thoroughly evaluate and
        implement relevant industry operating experience and guidance for age-related
        electrolytic capacitor degradation [P.5]. (Section 1R15)

Eric Duncan, Chief Branch 3 Division of Reactor Projects Docket No. 50-255 License No. DPR-20
Cornerstones: Occupational Radiation Safety and Public Radiation Safety
Green. A finding of very low safety significance and an associated NCV of Technical
Specification (TS) 5.5.1, Offsite Dose Calculation Manual, was identified for the failure
to establish, implement, and maintain the Offsite Dose Calculation Manual (ODCM)
relative to dose calculation parameters. Specifically, the licensee failed to modify the
parameters used in public radiation calculations when changes in the use of unrestricted
areas were identified. As a result, the quarterly and annual doses that were calculated
every 31 days, as required by the ODCM, were incorrect and non-conservative. In
addition to entering this issue into their CAP as CR-PLP-2015-2972, the licensee
recalculated the dose using the correct calculation parameters.
The performance deficiency was determined to be more than minor because it was
associated with the Program and Process attribute of the Public Radiation Safety
cornerstone and adversely affected the cornerstone objective of ensuring the adequate
protection of public health and safety from exposure to radioactive materials released
into the public domain as a result of routine civilian nuclear reactor operation. The
finding was determined to be of very low safety significance in accordance with
IMC 0609, Appendix D, Public Radiation Safety Significance Determination Process,
because the issue did not represent a significant deficiency in evaluating a planned or
unplanned effluent release since the resulting dose was not grossly underestimated.
The finding had a cross-cutting aspect of Training in the Human Performance
cross-cutting area because the licensee did not ensure adequate knowledge transfer to
maintain a knowledgeable, technically competent workforce. [H.9] (Section 2RS6)

Summary of Plant Status
The plant operated at or near full power during the inspection period until August 24, 2015,
when the operators entered a coastdown period in preparation for refueling outage (RFO) 1R24.
On September 16, 2015, the unit automatically tripped in response to an electrical failure in the
digital electrohydraulic control system. The unit remained shutdown and transitioned into the
RFO for the remainder of the inspection period.

        Cornerstones: Initiating Events, Mitigating Systems, and Barrier Integrity
1R04 Equipment Alignment (71111.04)
.1      Quarterly Partial System Walkdowns
  a.    Inspection Scope
        The inspectors performed partial system walkdowns of the following risk-significant
        systems:
        *        Left train auxiliary feedwater system during surveillance of right train auxiliary
                  feedwater system;
        *        1-2 diesel generator during surveillance of the 1-1 diesel generator;
        *        A' train shutdown cooling system during RFO 1R24; and
        *        Air system alignment to containment during RFO 1R24.
        The inspectors selected these systems based on their risk significance relative to the
        Reactor Safety Cornerstones at the time they were inspected. The inspectors attempted
        to identify any discrepancies that could impact the function of the system and therefore
        potentially increase risk. The inspectors reviewed applicable operating procedures,
        system diagrams, the Updated Final Safety Analysis Report (UFSAR), Technical
        Specification (TS) requirements, outstanding work orders (WOs), condition reports
        (CRs), and the impact of ongoing work activities on redundant trains of equipment in
        order to identify conditions that could have rendered the systems incapable of
        performing their intended functions. The inspectors also walked down accessible
        portions of the systems to verify system components and support equipment were
        aligned correctly and operable. The inspectors examined the material condition of the
        components and observed operating parameters of equipment to verify that there were
        no obvious deficiencies. The inspectors also verified that the licensee had properly
        identified and resolved equipment alignment problems that could cause initiating events
        or impact the capability of mitigating systems or barriers and entered them into the
        Corrective Action Program (CAP) with the appropriate significance characterization.
        Documents reviewed are listed in the Attachment to this report.
        These activities constituted four partial system walkdown samples as defined in
        Inspection Procedure (IP) 71111.04-05.

      No findings were identified.
.2  Semiannual Complete System Walkdown
  a. Inspection Scope
      Between July 21 and August 12, 2015, the inspectors performed a complete system
      alignment inspection of the service water system to verify the functional capability of the
      system. This system was selected because it was considered both safety-significant
      and risk-significant in the licensees probabilistic risk assessment. The inspectors
      walked down the system to review mechanical and electrical equipment lineups;
      electrical power availability; system pressure and temperature indications; component
      labeling; component lubrication; component and equipment cooling; hangers and
      supports; operability of support systems; and to ensure that ancillary equipment or
      debris did not interfere with equipment operation. A review of a sample of past and
      outstanding WOs was performed to determine whether any deficiencies significantly
      affected the system function. In addition, the inspectors reviewed the CAP database to
      ensure that system equipment alignment problems were being identified and
      appropriately resolved. Documents reviewed are listed in the Attachment to this report.
      These activities constituted one complete system walkdown sample as defined in
      IP 71111.04-05.
  b. Findings
      No findings were identified.
1R05 Fire Protection (71111.05)
  a. Inspection Scope
      The inspectors conducted fire protection walkdowns which were focused on the
      availability, accessibility, and the condition of firefighting equipment in the following
      risk-significant plant areas:
      *      Fire Area 16: component cooling water (CCW) pump room;
      *      Fire Area 9: screenhouse;
      *      Fire Area 10: east engineered safeguards room;
      *      Risk-significant fire areas during the higher risk plant operating state #1 of
              RFO 1R24;
      *      Fire Areas 29, 30, and 31: electrical and mechanical equipment rooms; and
      *      Fire Area 6: diesel generator 1-2 and fuel oil day tank room.
      The inspectors reviewed areas to assess if the licensee had implemented a fire
      protection program that adequately controlled combustibles and ignition sources within
      the plant, effectively maintained fire detection and suppression capability, maintained
      passive fire protection features in good material condition, and implemented adequate
      compensatory measures for out-of-service, degraded, or inoperable fire protection
      equipment, systems, or features in accordance with the licensees fire plan.
                                              5

This report covers a 3-month period of inspection by resident inspectors and announced baseline inspections by regional inspectors. Two Green findings were identified by the inspectors. These findings were considered non-cited violations (NCVs) of U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) regulations. The significance of inspection findings is indicated by their color (i.e., greater than Green, or Green, White, Yellow, Red) and determined using Inspection Manual Chapter (IMC) 0609, "Significance Determination Process," dated April 29, 2015. Cross-cutting aspects are determined using IMC 0310, "Aspects Within the Cross-Cutting Areas," dated December 4, 2014. All violations of NRC requirements are dispositioned in accordance with the NRC's Enforcement Policy dated July 9, 2013.

      additional insights, their potential to impact equipment which could initiate or mitigate a
      plant transient, or their impact on the plants ability to respond to a security event.
      Using the documents listed in the Attachment to this report, the inspectors verified that
      fire hoses and extinguishers were in their designated locations and available for
      immediate use; that fire detectors and sprinklers were unobstructed; that transient
      material loading was within the analyzed limits; and fire doors, dampers, and penetration
      seals appeared to be in satisfactory condition. The inspectors also verified that minor
      issues identified during the inspection were entered into the licensees CAP.
      These activities constituted six quarterly fire protection inspection samples as defined in
      IP 71111.05-05.
  b. Findings
      No findings were identified.
1R06 Flooding (71111.06)
.1  Internal Flooding
  a. Inspection Scope
      The inspectors reviewed selected risk-important plant design features and licensee
      procedures intended to protect the plant and its safety-related equipment from internal
      flooding events. The inspectors reviewed flood analyses and design documents,
      including the UFSAR, engineering calculations, and abnormal operating procedures to
      identify licensee commitments. The inspectors also reviewed the licensees corrective
      action documents with respect to past flood-related items identified in the CAP to verify
      the adequacy of the corrective actions. The inspectors performed a walkdown of the
      following plant area to assess the adequacy of watertight doors and verify drains and
      sumps were clear of debris and were operable, and that the licensee complied with its
      commitments:
      *      cable spreading room.
      Documents reviewed during this inspection are listed in the Attachment to this report.
      This inspection constituted one internal flooding sample as defined in IP 71111.06-05.
  b. Findings
      No findings were identified.
.2  Underground Vaults
  a. Inspection Scope
      The inspectors selected underground bunkers/manholes subject to flooding that
      contained cables whose failure could disable risk-significant equipment. The inspectors
      determined whether the cables were submerged, whether splices were intact, and
      whether appropriate cable support structures were in place. In those areas where

An NRC-identified finding of very low safety significance and an associated NCV of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion III, "Design Control," was identified for the failure to justify continued service of safety-related electrolytic capacitors that were installed beyond their recommended service life associated with the safety-related containment floor level indicating transmitters (LITs). Specifically, on June 21, 2015, containment floor LIT LIT-0446B and LIT-0446A did not satisfy the acceptance criteria of the technical specification surveillance monthly channel checks and LIT-0446B was declared inoperable.

1R11 Licensed Operator Requalification Program (71111.11)
  .1  Resident Inspector Quarterly Review of Licensed Operator Requalification (71111.11Q)
  a. Inspection Scope
      On August 5, 2015, the inspectors observed a crew of licensed operators in the plants
      simulator during licensed operator requalification training. The inspectors verified that
      operator performance was adequate, evaluators were identifying and documenting crew
      performance problems, and that training was being conducted in accordance with
      licensee procedures. The inspectors evaluated the following areas:
      *        licensed operator performance;
      *        crews clarity and formality of communications;
      *        the ability to take timely actions in the conservative direction;
      *        prioritization, interpretation, and verification of annunciator alarms;
      *        correct use and implementation of abnormal and emergency procedures;
      *        control board manipulations;
      *        oversight and direction from supervisors; and
      *        the ability to identify and implement appropriate TS actions and Emergency Plan
              actions and notifications.
      Crew performance in these areas was compared to pre-established operator action
      expectations and successful critical task completion requirements. Documents reviewed
      are listed in the Attachment to this report.
      This inspection constituted one quarterly licensed operator requalification program
      simulator sample as defined in IP 71111.11-05.
  b. Findings
      No findings were identified.
                                                7


The finding had a cross-cutting aspect of Training in the Human Performance cross-cutting area because the licensee did not ensure adequate knowledge transfer to maintain a knowledgeable, technically competent workforce. [H.9] (Section 2RS6)4
.2  Resident Inspector Quarterly Observation During Periods of Heightened Activity or Risk
      (71111.11Q)
  a. Inspection Scope
      On September 16, 2015, the inspectors observed a reactor cooldown to Mode 5
      following a reactor trip. This was an activity that required heightened awareness or was
      related to increased risk. The inspectors evaluated the following areas:
      *      licensed operator performance;
      *      the crews clarity and formality of communications;
      *      ability to take timely actions in the conservative direction;
      *      prioritization, interpretation, and verification of annunciator alarms;
      *      correct use and implementation of procedures;
      *      control board manipulations;
      *      oversight and direction from supervisors; and
      *      the ability to identify and implement appropriate TS actions and Emergency Plan
              actions and notifications.
      Performance in these areas was compared to pre-established operator action
      expectations, procedural compliance, and task completion requirements. Documents
      reviewed are listed in the Attachment to this report.
      This inspection constituted one quarterly licensed operator heightened activity/risk
      sample as defined in IP 71111.11-05.
  b. Findings
      No findings were identified.
1R12 Maintenance Effectiveness (71111.12)
  a. Inspection Scope
      The inspectors evaluated degraded performance issues involving the following
      risk-significant system:
      *      containment personnel inner air lock door.
      The inspectors reviewed events including those in which ineffective equipment
      maintenance resulted in valid or invalid automatic actuations of engineered safeguards
      systems and independently verified the licensee's actions to address system
      performance or condition problems in terms of the following:
      *      implementing appropriate work practices;
      *      identifying and addressing common cause failures;
      *      scoping of systems in accordance with Title 10 of the Code of Federal
              Regulations (10 CFR) 50.65(b) of the maintenance rule;
      *      characterizing system reliability issues for performance;
      *      charging unavailability for performance;
      *      trending key parameters for condition monitoring;
                                              8


=REPORT DETAILS=
    *        ensuring 10 CFR 50.65(a)(1) or (a)(2) classification or re-classification; and
Summary of Plant Status The plant operated at or near full power during the inspection period until August 24, 2015, when the operators entered a coastdown period in preparation for refueling outage (RFO) 1R24.
    *        verifying appropriate performance criteria for structures, systems, and
              components (SSCs)/functions classified as (a)(2), or appropriate and adequate
              goals and corrective actions for systems classified as (a)(1).
    The inspectors assessed performance issues with respect to the reliability, availability,
    and condition monitoring of the system. In addition, the inspectors verified maintenance
    effectiveness issues were entered into the CAP with the appropriate significance
    characterization. Documents reviewed are listed in the Attachment to this report.
    This inspection constituted one quarterly maintenance effectiveness sample as defined
    in IP 71111.12-05.
  b. Findings
    No findings were identified.
1R13 Maintenance Risk Assessments and Emergent Work Control (71111.13)
  a. Inspection Scope
    The inspectors reviewed the licensee's evaluation and management of plant risk for the
    maintenance and emergent work activities affecting risk-significant and safety-related
    equipment listed below to verify that appropriate risk assessments were performed prior
    to removing equipment for work:
    *        breaker 72-13, A primary coolant pump (PCP) direct current oil lift pump,
              removal;
    *        purification demineralizer filter replacement;
    *        diving in the spent fuel pool tilt pit;
    *        reduced inventory period #1 during RFO; and
    *        emergent work to uncouple control rod drive 11.
    These activities were selected based on their potential risk significance relative to the
    Reactor Safety Cornerstones. As applicable for each activity, the inspectors verified that
    risk assessments were performed as required by 10 CFR 50.65(a)(4) and were accurate
    and complete. When emergent work was performed, the inspectors verified that the
    plant risk was promptly reassessed and managed. The inspectors reviewed the scope
    of maintenance work, discussed the results of the assessment with the licensee's
    probabilistic risk analyst or shift technical advisor, and verified plant conditions were
    consistent with the risk assessment. The inspectors also reviewed TS requirements and
    walked down portions of redundant safety systems, when applicable, to verify risk
    analysis assumptions were valid and applicable requirements were met.
    Documents reviewed are listed in the Attachment to this report. These maintenance risk
    assessments and emergent work control activities constituted five samples as defined in
    IP 71111.13-05.
  b. Findings
    No findings were identified.
                                              9


On September 16, 2015, the unit automatically tripped in response to an electrical failure in the digital electrohydraulic control system. The unit remained shutdown and transitioned into the RFO for the remainder of the inspection period.
1R15 Operability Determinations and Functional Assessments (71111.15)
  a. Inspection Scope
    The inspectors reviewed the following issues:
    *      primary cooling system (PCS) branch connection weld inspection calculation
            errors;
    *      fuel oil transfer system operability;
    *      A PCP decreasing lower bearing oil level trend; and
    *      containment level indicating transmitter (LIT) capacitor failure.
    The inspectors selected these potential operability issues based on the risk significance
    of the associated components and systems. The inspectors evaluated the technical
    adequacy of the evaluations to ensure that TS operability was properly justified and the
    subject component or system remained available such that no unrecognized increase in
    risk occurred. The inspectors compared the operability and design criteria in the
    appropriate sections of the TS and UFSAR to the licensees evaluations to determine
    whether the components or systems were operable. Where compensatory measures
    were required to maintain operability, the inspectors determined whether the measures
    in place would function as intended and were properly controlled. The inspectors
    determined, where appropriate, compliance with bounding limitations associated with the
    evaluations. Additionally, the inspectors reviewed a sample of corrective action
    documents to verify that the licensee was identifying and correcting any deficiencies
    associated with operability evaluations. Documents reviewed are listed in the
    Attachment to this report.
    This operability inspection constituted three samples as defined in IP 71111.15-05. The
    sample for the weld inspection calculation error was accounted for in Inspection Report
    (IR) 05000255/2015012.
  b. Findings
    Introduction. An NRC-identified finding of very low safety significance (Green) and an
    associated Non-Cited Violation (NCV) of 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion III, Design
    Control, was identified for the failure to justify continued service of safety-related
    electrolytic capacitors installed beyond their recommended service life associated with
    containment floor LITs LIT-0446B
    and LIT-0446A.
    Description. During the performance of monthly operations TS surveillance test MO-45,
    Control Room Channel Checks, on June 21, 2015, LIT-0446B, the B containment LIT,
    was found to be indicating below the acceptance criteria minimum required value. The
    transmitter was declared inoperable in accordance with TS 3.3.7, Post Accident
    Monitoring, since the accuracy over the entire level span of the instrument was
    considered degraded such that it could no longer perform its function to accurately
    monitor containment water level as specified by Regulatory Guide 1.97. These
    containment LITs are relied upon in the plants emergency operating procedures to
    ensure adequate net positive suction head for emergency core cooling system (ECCS)
    pumps following receipt of a recirculation actuation signal (RAS).
                                            10


==REACTOR SAFETY==
On July 16, 2015, further troubleshooting was conducted and determined that the
Cornerstones:  Initiating Events, Mitigating Systems, and Barrier Integrity
electrolytic capacitor within the transmitters converter module failed and the most likely
{{a|1R04}}
cause of the capacitor failure was operation beyond the components service life since
==1R04 Equipment Alignment==
the LITs had been in service for greater than 10 years. Entergy subsequently submitted
{{IP sample|IP=IP 71111.04}}
letter PNP 2015-058 to the NRC on August 3, 2015, reporting this information as
===.1 Quarterly Partial System Walkdowns===
required by TS 5.6.6. This specification states that if post-accident monitoring
instrumentation is inoperable, a preplanned alternate method of monitoring, the cause of
the inoperability, and the schedule for restoring the inoperable instrument to an operable
status shall be submitted in a report to the NRC.
The resident inspectors asked follow-up questions associated with industry operating
experience and the preventive maintenance program for these transmitters. These LITs
were replaced on an as-required basis (no preventive maintenance frequency) and
were classified as non-critical components in the licensees maintenance program.
However, industry operating experience and Electric Power Research Institute guidance
was found by the inspectors that indicated electrolytic capacitors have a specified
lifespan based on operating conditions and applications. The NRC issued Information
Notice (IN) 2012-11, Age-Related Capacitor Degradation, in July 2012, which also
informed licensees of problems that involved the age-related degradation of capacitors.
The licensee documented a review of this IN in CR-PLP-2012-5721. However, the
licensees preventive maintenance interval review of this operating experience only
considered electrolytic capacitors that were classified as critical components in their
maintenance rule program. The capacitors which were identified during this review were
scheduled for, at most, 10 year replacement intervals. The licensee potentially missed
the opportunity to establish a replacement program for these transmitters at that time. In
addition to entering this issue into their CAP as CR-PLP-2015-04972, the licensee
replaced the failed components and planned to develop a replacement schedule for
non-critical, safety-related electrolytic capacitors.
Analysis. The inspectors determined that the failure to review for suitability of
application of the safety-related electrolytic capacitors in the containment floor LITs,
which were installed beyond their recommended service life, was contrary to
10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion III, Design Control, and was a performance
deficiency.
The inspectors determined that the performance deficiency was more than minor in
accordance with Inspection Manual Chapter (IMC) 0612 "Power Reactor Inspection
Reports," Appendix B, "Issue Screening," dated September 7, 2012, because the
performance deficiency was associated with the Equipment Performance attribute of the
Mitigating Systems cornerstone and adversely affected the cornerstone objective of
ensuring the availability, reliability, and capability of systems that respond to initiating
events to prevent undesirable consequences (i.e., core damage). The containment
water LITs are relied upon in the plants emergency operating procedures to ensure
adequate net positive suction head for ECCS pumps following a RAS. The finding was
screened in accordance with IMC 0609, Appendix A, The Significance Determination
Process for Findings At-Power, Exhibit 1, Mitigating Systems Screening Questions,
dated July 1, 2012. The finding screened as having very low safety significance
(i.e., Green) based on answering No to all the screening questions under the Mitigating
SSCs and Functionality section of IMC 0609, Appendix A, Exhibit 1.
                                          11


====a. Inspection Scope====
    The finding had a cross-cutting aspect of Operating Experience in the Problem
The inspectors performed partial system walkdowns of the following risk-significant systems:
    Identification and Resolution cross-cutting area since the licensee did not effectively and
* Left train auxiliary feedwater system during surveillance of right train auxiliary feedwater system;
    thoroughly evaluate and implement relevant industry operating experience and guidance
* 1-2 diesel generator during surveillance of the 1-1 diesel generator; * 'A' train shutdown cooling system during RFO 1R24; and
    for age-related electrolytic capacitor degradation [P.5].
* Air system alignment to containment during RFO 1R24. The inspectors selected these systems based on their risk significance relative to the Reactor Safety Cornerstones at the time they were inspected. The inspectors attempted to identify any discrepancies that could impact the function of the system and therefore potentially increase risk. The inspectors reviewed applicable operating procedures, system diagrams, the Updated Final Safety Analysis Report (UFSAR), Technical Specification (TS) requirements, outstanding work orders (WOs), condition reports (CRs), and the impact of ongoing work activities on redundant trains of equipment in order to identify conditions that could have rendered the systems incapable of performing their intended functions. The inspectors also walked down accessible portions of the systems to verify system components and support equipment were aligned correctly and operable. The inspectors examined the material condition of the components and observed operating parameters of equipment to verify that there were no obvious deficiencies. The inspectors also verified that the licensee had properly identified and resolved equipment alignment problems that could cause initiating events or impact the capability of mitigating systems or barriers and entered them into the Corrective Action Program (CAP) with the appropriate significance characterization. Documents reviewed are listed in the Attachment to this report. These activities constituted four partial system walkdown samples as defined in Inspection Procedure (IP) 71111.04-05.
    Enforcement. 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion III, Design Control, requires, in part,
    that measures shall be established for the selection and review for suitability of
    application of materials, parts, equipment, and processes that are essential to the
    safety-related functions of SSCs.
    Contrary to the above, as of June 21, 2015, the licensee failed to review for suitability of
    application of parts essential to the safety-related functions of the containment floor level
    indicating system. Specifically, the licensee did not review for suitability of application of
    safety-related electrolytic capacitors in the containment floor LITs that were installed
    beyond their recommended service life to justify their continued service considering
    in-service deterioration. As part of their immediate corrective actions, the licensee
    replaced the failed components. Because this violation was of very low safety
    significance and it was entered into the licensees CAP as CR-PLP-2015-04972, it is
    being treated as an NCV, consistent with Section 2.3.2 of the NRC Enforcement Policy.
    (NCV 05000255/2015003-01 Failure to Justify Continued Service of Safety-Related
    Electrolytic Capacitors Installed Beyond Their Service Life)
.2  Review of Operator Workarounds
  a. Inspection Scope
    Operator workarounds are operator actions taken to compensate for degraded or
    non-conforming conditions. Operator workarounds that cannot be implemented
    effectively can contribute to an increase in overall plant risk. The inspectors verified that
    the licensee was identifying operator workarounds at an appropriate threshold, entering
    them into their CAP, and had planned or taken appropriate corrective actions. As part of
    their review, the inspectors considered all existing plant conditions and the cumulative
    impact of all operator workarounds.
    The inspectors evaluated the licensee's operator workarounds to determine if any
    mitigating system functions were adversely impacted. Additionally, the inspectors
    assessed whether or not the operator workarounds had adversely impacted the
    operators ability to implement abnormal or emergency operating procedures. The
    inspectors placed particular emphasis on any operator workarounds that had not been
    effectively evaluated by the licensee; that had been formalized or proceduralized as the
    long-term corrective actions for a degraded or nonconforming condition; and that may
    have increased the potential for human error, such as operator workarounds that:
    *        Required operations that were not consistent with current training and system
              knowledge;
    *        Required a change from long-standing operational practices;
    *        Required operation of a system or component in a manner that was inconsistent
              with similar systems or components;
    *        Created the potential for the compensatory action to be performed on equipment
              or under conditions for which it was not appropriate;
                                            12


====b. Findings====
    *        Impaired access to required indications, increased dependence on oral
No findings were identified.
              communications, or impacted the timeliness of time-critical event mitigating
              actions under adverse environmental conditions;
    *        Required the use of equipment and interfaces that had not been designed with
              consideration of the task being performed;
    *        Required the licensee to assess and manage an increase in risk; or
    *        Required a license amendment in accordance with 10 CFR 50.59, but were
              implemented without an approved amendment.
    Documents reviewed are listed in the Attachment to this report. These activities by the
    inspectors constituted a single operator workarounds review inspection sample as
    required by IP 71111.15, Section 02.01(a).
  b. Findings
    No findings were identified.
1R19 Post-Maintenance Testing (71111.19)
  a. Inspection Scope
    The inspectors reviewed the following post-maintenance testing activities to verify that
    procedures and testing activities were adequate to ensure system operability and
    functional capability:
    *        CVCO-4, pump testing, following C charging pump bladder replacement;
    *        MI-43, instrument calibration, following replacement of the reactor vessel level
              indicating system power supply;
    *        valve testing following repairs to the charging system surge tank vent valve; and
    *        diagnostic and stroke testing of service water control valves replaced on the
              CCW heat exchanger during RFO 1R24.
    These activities were selected based upon the SSCs ability to impact risk. The
    inspectors evaluated these activities for the following (as applicable): the effect of
    testing on the plant had been adequately addressed; testing was adequate for the
    maintenance performed; acceptance criteria were clear and demonstrated operational
    readiness; test instrumentation was appropriate; tests were performed as written in
    accordance with properly reviewed and approved procedures; equipment was returned
    to its operational status following testing (temporary modifications or jumpers required
    for test performance were properly removed after test completion); and test
    documentation was properly evaluated. The inspectors evaluated the activities against
    TSs, the UFSAR, 10 CFR Part 50 requirements, licensee procedures, and various
    NRC generic communications to ensure that the test results adequately ensured that the
    equipment met the licensing basis and design requirements. In addition, the inspectors
    reviewed corrective action documents associated with post-maintenance tests to
    determine whether the licensee was identifying problems and entering them in the CAP
    and that the problems were being corrected commensurate with their importance to
    safety. Documents reviewed are listed in the Attachment to this report.
    This inspection constituted four post-maintenance testing samples as defined in
    IP 71111.19-05.
                                            13


===.2 Semiannual Complete System Walkdown===
  b. Findings
      No findings were identified.
1R20 Outage Activities (71111.20)
.1  Refueling Outage Activities
  a. Inspection Scope
      The inspectors evaluated outage activities for RFO 24 (RFO 1R24) that began on
      September 16, 2015, and continued through the end of the assessment period. The
      RFO began when the reactor tripped following a turbine trip due to a digital
      electrohydraulic control system failure on September 16, 2015. The licensee continued
      the plant shutdown to cold shutdown conditions to begin the RFO.
      The inspectors reviewed the Outage Risk Assessment (ORAT) and contingency plans
      for 1R24, prior to the shutdown, to confirm that the licensee had appropriately
      considered risk, industry operating experience, and previous site-specific problems in
      developing and implementing a plan that assured maintenance of defense-in-depth.
      During the RFO, the inspectors observed portions of the shutdown and cooldown
      processes and monitored licensee controls over the RFO activities listed below:
      *      licensee configuration management, including maintenance of defense-in-depth
            commensurate with the ORAT for key safety functions and compliance with the
            applicable TSs when taking equipment out of service;
      *      implementation of clearance activities and confirmation that tags were properly
            hung and equipment appropriately configured to safely support the work or
            testing;
      *      installation and configuration of primary coolant pressure, level, and temperature
            instruments to provide accurate indication, accounting for instrument error;
      *      controls over the status and configuration of electrical systems to ensure that
            TS and ORAT requirements were met, and controls over switchyard activities;
      *      monitoring of decay heat removal processes, systems, and components;
      *      controls to ensure that RFO work was not impacting the ability of the operators to
            operate the spent fuel pool cooling system;
      *      reactor water inventory controls including flow paths, configurations, and
            alternative means for inventory addition, and controls to prevent inventory loss;
      *      controls over activities that could affect reactivity;
      *      maintenance of secondary containment as required by TSs;
      *      licensee fatigue management, as required by 10 CFR 26, Subpart I; and
      *      licensee identification and resolution of problems related to RFO activities.
      Documents reviewed are listed in the Attachment to this report. Since the RFO
      extended into the fourth quarter of 2015, these activities do not count as an inspection
      sample this quarter, but will be counted next quarter.
  b. Findings
      No findings were identified.

====a. Inspection Scope====
1R22 Surveillance Testing (71111.22)
Between July 21 and August 12, 2015, the inspectors performed a complete system alignment inspection of the service water system to verify the functional capability of the system. This system was selected because it was considered both safety-significant and risk-significant in the licensee's probabilistic risk assessment. The inspectors walked down the system to review mechanical and electrical equipment lineups; electrical power availability; system pressure and temperature indications; component labeling; component lubrication; component and equipment cooling; hangers and supports; operability of support systems; and to ensure that ancillary equipment or debris did not interfere with equipment operation. A review of a sample of past and outstanding WOs was performed to determine whether any deficiencies significantly affected the system function. In addition, the inspectors reviewed the CAP database to ensure that system equipment alignment problems were being identified and appropriately resolved. Documents reviewed are listed in the Attachment to this report. These activities constituted one complete system walkdown sample as defined in IP 71111.04-05.
  a. Inspection Scope
    The inspectors reviewed the test results for the following activities to determine whether
    risk-significant systems and equipment were capable of performing their intended safety
    function and to verify testing was conducted in accordance with applicable procedural
    and TS requirements:
    *      RI-99, left channel nuclear instrumentation calibration (routine);
    *      EA-12, protective relay functional testing (routine);
    *      local leak rate test of containment personnel air lock (routine);
    *      PCS leak rate calculation (PCS leak detection);
    *      QO-16C, containment spray pump inservice surveillance testing (inservice test);
    *      RT-202, control room heating, ventilation, and air conditioning heat removal
            capability testing (routine);
    *      RT-8D, right train engineered safeguards system integrated test (routine);
    *      RO-105, safety injection tank full flow inservice test (routine); and
    *      RO-141, containment sump check valve inservice test (containment isolation
            valve).
    The inspectors observed in-plant activities and reviewed procedures and associated
    records to determine the following:
    *      did preconditioning occur;
    *      were the effects of the testing adequately addressed by control room personnel
            or engineers prior to the commencement of the testing;
    *      were acceptance criteria clearly stated, sufficient to demonstrate operational
            readiness, and consistent with the system design basis;
    *      was plant equipment calibration correct, accurate, and properly documented;
    *      were as-left setpoints within required ranges; and was the calibration frequency
            in accordance with TSs, the UFSAR, plant procedures, and applicable
            commitments;
    *      was measuring and test equipment calibration current;
    *      was the test equipment used within the required range and accuracy and were
            applicable prerequisites described in the test procedures satisfied;
    *      did test frequencies meet TS requirements to demonstrate operability and
            reliability;
    *      were tests performed in accordance with the test procedures and other
            applicable procedures;
    *      were jumpers and lifted leads controlled and restored where used;

1EP6 Drill Evaluation (71114.06)
.1  Emergency Preparedness Drill Observation
  a. Inspection Scope
      The inspectors evaluated the conduct of a routine licensee emergency drill on
      August 26, 2015, to identify any weaknesses and deficiencies in classification,
      notification, and protective action recommendation development activities. The
      inspectors observed emergency response operations in the emergency operations
      facility, technical support center, and the control room simulator to determine whether
      the event classification, notifications, and protective action recommendations were
      performed in accordance with procedures. The inspectors also attended the licensee
      drill critique to compare any inspector-observed weakness with those identified by the
      licensee staff in order to evaluate the critique and to verify whether the licensee staff was
      properly identifying weaknesses and entering them into the CAP. As part of the
      inspection, the inspectors reviewed the drill package and other documents listed in the
      Attachment to this report.
      This emergency preparedness drill inspection constituted one sample as defined in
      IP 71114.06-06.

====a. Inspection Scope====
2.    RADIATION SAFETY
The inspectors conducted fire protection walkdowns which were focused on the availability, accessibility, and the condition of firefighting equipment in the following risk-significant plant areas:
2RS6 Radioactive Gaseous and Liquid Effluent Treatment (71124.06)
* Fire Area 16:  component cooling water (CCW) pump room;
      This inspection constituted one complete sample as defined in IP 71124.06-05.
* Fire Area 9:  screenhouse;
.1  Inspection Planning and Program Reviews (02.01)
* Fire Area 10:  east engineered safeguards room;
      Event Report and Effluent Report Reviews
* Risk-significant fire areas during the higher risk plant operating state #1 of RFO 1R24;
  a. Inspection Scope
* Fire Areas 29, 30, and 31:  electrical and mechanical equipment rooms; and
      The inspectors reviewed the Radiological Effluent Release Reports issued since the last
* Fire Area 6:  diesel generator 1-2 and fuel oil day tank room. The inspectors reviewed areas to assess if the licensee had implemented a fire protection program that adequately controlled combustibles and ignition sources within the plant, effectively maintained fire detection and suppression capability, maintained passive fire protection features in good material condition, and implemented adequate compensatory measures for out-of-service, degraded, or inoperable fire protection equipment, systems, or features in accordance with the licensee's fire plan.
      inspection to determine if the reports were submitted as required by the Offsite Dose
      Calculation Manual (ODCM)/TSs. The inspectors reviewed anomalous results,
      unexpected trends, or abnormal releases identified by the licensee for further inspection
      to determine if they were evaluated, were entered in the CAP, and were adequately
      resolved.
      The inspectors selected radioactive effluent monitor operability issues reported by the
      licensee as provided in effluent release reports, to review these issues during the onsite
      inspection, as warranted, given their relative significance, and determine if the issues
      were entered into the CAP and adequately resolved.
  b. Findings
      No findings were identified.
      Offsite Dose Calculation Manual and Final Safety Analysis Report Review
  a. Inspection Scope
      The inspectors reviewed UFSAR descriptions of the radioactive effluent monitoring
      systems, treatment systems, and effluent flow paths so they could be evaluated during
      inspection walkdowns.
      The inspectors reviewed changes to the ODCM made by the licensee since the last
      inspection against the guidance in NUREG-1301, 1302, and 0133, and Regulatory
      Guides 1.109, 1.21, and 4.1. When differences were identified, the inspectors reviewed
      the technical basis or evaluations of the change during the onsite inspection to
      determine whether they were technically justified and maintain effluent releases
      as-low-as-reasonably-achievable.
      The inspectors reviewed licensee documentation to determine if the licensee has
      identified any non-radioactive systems that have become contaminated as disclosed
      either through an event report or the ODCM since the last inspection. This review
      provided an intelligent sample list for the onsite inspection of any 10 CFR 50.59
      evaluations, and allowed a determination if any newly contaminated systems have an
      unmonitored effluent discharge path to the environment, whether any required ODCM
      revisions were made to incorporate these new pathways, and whether the associated
      effluents were reported in accordance with Regulatory Guide 1.21.
                                              17


The inspectors selected fire areas based on their overall contribution to internal fire risk as documented in the plant's Individual Plant Examination of External Events with later additional insights, their potential to impact equipment which could initiate or mitigate a plant transient, or their impact on the plant's ability to respond to a security event.
  b. Findings
    No findings were identified.
    Groundwater Protection Initiative Program
  a. Inspection Scope
    The inspectors reviewed reported groundwater monitoring results and changes to the
    licensees written program for identifying and controlling contaminated spills/leaks to
    groundwater.
  b. Findings
    No findings were identified.
    Procedures, Special Reports, and Other Documents
  a. Inspection Scope
    The inspectors reviewed Licensee Event Reports, event reports, and/or special reports
    related to the Effluent Program issued since the previous inspection to identify any
    additional focus areas for the inspection based on the scope/breadth of problems
    described in these reports.
    The inspectors reviewed the Effluent Program implementing procedures, particularly
    those associated with effluent sampling, effluent monitor set-point determinations, and
    dose calculations.
    The inspectors reviewed copies of licensee and third party (independent) evaluation
    reports of the Effluent Monitoring Program since the last inspection to gather insights
    into the licensees program, and aid in selecting areas for inspection review (smart
    sampling).
  b. Findings
    No findings were identified.
.2  Walkdowns and Observations (02.02)
  a. Inspection Scope
    The inspectors walked down selected components of the gaseous and liquid discharge
    systems to evaluate whether equipment configuration and flow paths align with the
    documents reviewed in 02.01 above, and to assess equipment material condition.
    Special attention was made to identify potential unmonitored release points (such as
    open roof vents in boiling water reactor turbine decks, temporary structures butted
    against turbine, auxiliary or containment buildings), building alterations which could
    impact airborne, or liquid effluent controls, and ventilation system leakage that
    communicates directly with the environment.
                                            18


Using the documents listed in the Attachment to this report, the inspectors verified that fire hoses and extinguishers were in their designated locations and available for immediate use; that fire detectors and sprinklers were unobstructed; that transient material loading was within the analyzed limits; and fire doors, dampers, and penetration seals appeared to be in satisfactory condition. The inspectors also verified that minor issues identified during the inspection were entered into the licensee's CAP.
    For equipment or areas associated with the systems selected for review that were not
    readily accessible due to radiological conditions, the inspectors reviewed the licensee's
    material condition surveillance records, as applicable.
    The inspectors walked down filtered ventilation systems to assess for conditions such as
    degraded high-efficiency particulate air/charcoal banks, improper alignment, or system
    installation issues that would impact the performance or the effluent monitoring capability
    of the effluent system.
    As available, the inspectors observed selected portions of the routine processing and
    discharge of radioactive gaseous effluent (including sample collection and analysis) to
    evaluate whether appropriate treatment equipment was used, and the processing
    activities align with discharge permits.
    The inspectors determined if the licensee had made significant changes to their effluent
    release points (e.g., changes subject to a 10 CFR 50.59 review, or require NRC
    approval of alternate discharge points).
    As available, the inspectors observed selected portions of the routine processing and
    discharging of liquid waste (including sample collection and analysis) to determine if
    appropriate effluent treatment equipment was being used, and that radioactive liquid
    waste was being processed and discharged in accordance with procedure requirements
    and aligned with discharge permits.
  b. Findings
    No findings were identified.
.3  Sampling and Analyses (02.03)
  a. Inspection Scope
    The inspectors selected effluent sampling activities, consistent with smart sampling, and
    assessed whether adequate controls have been implemented to ensure representative
    samples were obtained (e.g., provisions for sample line flushing, vessel recirculation,
    composite samplers, etc.).
    The inspectors selected effluent discharges made with inoperable (declared
    out-of-service) effluent radiation monitors to assess whether controls were in place to
    ensure compensatory sampling was performed consistent with the radiological effluent
    TSs/ODCM, and that those controls were adequate to prevent the release of
    unmonitored liquid and gaseous effluents.
    The inspectors determined whether the facility was routinely relying on the use of
    compensatory sampling in lieu of adequate system maintenance, based on the
    frequency of compensatory sampling since the last inspection.
    The inspectors reviewed the results of the Inter-Laboratory Comparison Program to
    evaluate the quality of the radioactive effluent sample analyses, and assessed whether
    the Inter-Laboratory Comparison Program included hard-to-detect isotopes as
    appropriate.
                                            19


These activities constituted six quarterly fire protection inspection samples as defined in IP 71111.05-05.
  b. Findings
    No findings were identified.
.4  Instrumentation and Equipment (02.04)
    Effluent Flow Measuring Instruments
  a. Inspection Scope
    The inspectors reviewed the methodology the licensee used to determine the effluent
    stack and vent flow rates to determine if the flow rates were consistent with radiological
    effluent TSs/ODCM or UFSAR values, and that differences between assumed and
    actual stack, and vent flow rates did not affect the results of the projected public doses.
  b. Findings
    No findings were identified.
    Air Cleaning Systems
  a. Inspection Scope
    The inspectors assessed whether surveillance test results since the previous inspection
    for TS required ventilation effluent discharge systems (high-efficiency particulate air and
    charcoal filtration), such as the Standby Gas Treatment System, and the Containment/
    Auxiliary Building Ventilation System, met TS acceptance criteria.
  b. Findings
    No findings were identified.
.5  Dose Calculations (02.05)
  a. Inspection Scope
    The inspectors reviewed all significant changes in reported dose values compared to the
    previous Radiological Effluent Release Report (e.g., a factor of five, or increases that
    approach Appendix I criteria) to evaluate the factors, which may have resulted in the
    change.
    The inspectors reviewed radioactive liquid and gaseous waste discharge permits to
    assess whether the projected doses to members of the public were accurate and based
    on representative samples of the discharge path.
    The inspectors evaluated the methods used to determine the isotopes that are included
    in the source term to ensure all applicable radionuclides are included within detectability
    standards. The review included the current Part 61 analyses to ensure hard-to-detect
    radionuclides are included in the source term.
    The inspectors reviewed changes in the licensees offsite dose calculations since the
    last inspection to evaluate whether changes were consistent with the ODCM and,
    Regulatory Guide 1.109. Inspectors reviewed meteorological dispersion and deposition
                                            20

  receptor, etc.) have been factored into the dose calculations.
  For the releases reviewed above, the inspectors evaluated whether the calculated doses
  (monthly, quarterly, and annual dose) were within the 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix I, and
  TS dose criteria.
  The inspectors reviewed, as available, records of any abnormal gaseous or liquid tank
  discharges (e.g., discharges resulting from misaligned valves, valve leak-by, etc.) to
  ensure the abnormal discharge was monitored by the discharge point effluent monitor.
  Discharges made with inoperable effluent radiation monitors, or unmonitored leakages
  were reviewed to ensure that an evaluation was made of the discharge to satisfy
  10 CFR 20.1501 so as to account for the source term and projected doses to the public.
b. Findings
  Introduction: The inspectors identified a finding of very low safety significance (Green)
  and an associated NCV of TS 5.5.1, Offsite Dose Calculation Manual, for the failure to
  establish, implement, and maintain the ODCM relative to dose calculation parameters.
  Specifically, the licensee failed to modify the parameters used in public radiation
  calculations when changes in the use of unrestricted areas were identified.
  Description: The NRC requires that the licensee identify changes in the use of
  unrestricted areas to permit modifications in monitoring programs for evaluating doses to
  individuals from principal pathways of exposure. This was described as the Land Use
  Census, in the ODCM.
  The licensee completed the land use census in September/October 2014 using licensee
  procedure CH 6.41 Land Use Census. The procedure also directed that any changes
  to critical receptors or X/Q values that modify offsite dose calculations due to the land
  use census be effective January 1 of the year following the land use census. Although
  this was normal and expected, the new and sometimes more restrictive values were not
  transferred to the offsite dose calculation software, GASPAR. As a result, the quarterly
  and annual doses that were calculated every 31 days, as required by the ODCM, were
  incorrect and non-conservative.
  Discussions with the licensee revealed that the Radiological Effluent Technical
  Specification (RETS) Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program (REMP) Specialist
  assumed the duties and responsibilities of this position in November 2014; months after
  the previous RETS-REMP Specialist had left the organization. The new individual was
  aware that the land use census had been completed, but did not realize the results were
  not incorporated into the program for evaluating doses to individuals from principal
  pathways of exposure. As part of their immediate corrective actions, the licensee
  entered this issue into their CAP as CR-2015-2972 and recalculated the dose using the
  correct calculation parameters.
                                          21


====a. Inspection Scope====
Analysis: The inspectors determined that the failure to establish, implement, and
The inspectors reviewed selected risk-important plant design features and licensee procedures intended to protect the plant and its safety-related equipment from internal flooding events. The inspectors reviewed flood analyses and design documents, including the UFSAR, engineering calculations, and abnormal operating procedures to identify licensee commitments. The inspectors also reviewed the licensee's corrective action documents with respect to past flood-related items identified in the CAP to verify the adequacy of the corrective actions. The inspectors performed a walkdown of the following plant area to assess the adequacy of watertight doors and verify drains and sumps were clear of debris and were operable, and that the licensee complied with its commitments:

* cable spreading room. Documents reviewed during this inspection are listed in the Attachment to this report. This inspection constituted one internal flooding sample as defined in IP 71111.06-05.
TS 5.5.1, and was a performance deficiency.
The inspectors determined that the performance deficiency was more than minor
because it was associated with the Program and Process attribute of the Public
Radiation Safety cornerstone and adversely affected the cornerstone objective of
ensuring the adequate protection of public health and safety from exposure to
radioactive materials released into the public domain as a result of routine civilian
nuclear reactor operation. Specifically, the non-conservative calculation of dose to
members of the public impeded the ability to provide adequate protection of public health
and safety from exposure to radioactive materials released into the public domain as a
result of routine civilian nuclear reactor operations. The finding was assessed using
IMC 0609, Appendix D, Public Radiation Safety Significance Determination Process,
and was determined to be of very low safety significance (Green) because the issue did
not represent a significant deficiency in evaluating a planned or unplanned effluent
release since the resulting dose was not grossly underestimated.
As described above, the cause for this failure was attributed to the lack of turnover to the
new program owner from the previous program owner. As a result, the finding had a
cross-cutting aspect of Training in the Human Performance cross-cutting area because
the licensee did not ensure adequate knowledge transfer to maintain a knowledgeable,
technically competent workforce. (H.9).
Enforcement: TS 5.5.1, Offsite Dose Calculation Manual, requires the licensee to
establish, implement, and maintain the ODCM. ODCM, Section I.B, required dose rates
to be calculated for: (1) noble gases and (2) iodines and particulates. Dose rates as
defined in this section are based on 10 CFR 50, Appendix I, limits of millirem per quarter
and millirem per year. All dose pathways of major importance in the Palisades Nuclear
Plant environs are considered, and are to be evaluated at the offsite exposure points
where maximum concentrations are expected to exist (overland sector site boundaries)
and nearest residents.
Contrary to the above, between January 1 and July 16, 2015, the licensee failed to
calculate the dose rates from noble gases, iodines, and particulates to the nearest
resident. As part of their immediate corrective actions, the licensee recalculated the
dose using the correct calculation parameters. Because this violation was of very low
safety significance and was entered into the licensees CAP as CR-2015-2972, this
violation is being treated as an NCV, consistent with Section 2.3.2.a of the NRC
Enforcement Policy. (NCV 05000255/2015003-02, Failure to Establish, Implement,
and Maintain the ODCM Relative to Dose Calculation Parameters)

====b. Findings====
.6  Groundwater Protection Initiative Implementation (02.06)
No findings were identified.
  a. Inspection Scope
    The inspectors reviewed monitoring results of the Groundwater Protection Initiative to
    determine if the licensee had implemented its program as intended, and to identify any
    anomalous results. For anomalous results or missed samples, the inspectors assessed
    whether the licensee had identified and addressed deficiencies through its CAP.
    The inspectors reviewed identified leakage or spill events and entries made into
    10 CFR 50.75(g) records. The inspectors reviewed evaluations of leaks or spills and
    reviewed any remediation actions taken for effectiveness. The inspectors reviewed
    onsite contamination events involving contamination of ground water and assessed
    whether the source of the leak or spill was identified and mitigated.
    For unmonitored spills, leaks, or unexpected liquid or gaseous discharges, the
    inspectors assessed whether an evaluation was performed to determine the type and
    amount of radioactive material that was discharged by:
    *        assessing whether sufficient radiological surveys were performed to evaluate the
              extent of the contamination and the radiological source term and assessing
              whether a survey/evaluation had been performed to include consideration of
              hard-to-detect radionuclides; and
    *        determining whether the licensee completed offsite notifications, as provided in
              its Groundwater Protection Initiative implementing procedures.
    The inspectors reviewed the evaluation of discharges from onsite surface water bodies
    that contained or potentially contained radioactivity, and the potential for groundwater
    leakage from these onsite surface water bodies. The inspectors assessed whether the
    licensee was properly accounting for discharges from these surface water bodies as part
    of their Effluent Release Reports.
    The inspectors assessed whether onsite groundwater sample results and a description
    of any significant onsite leaks/spills into groundwater for each calendar year were
    documented in the Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report for the REMP,
    or the Annual Radiological Effluent Release Report for the RETS.
    For significant, new effluent discharge points (such as significant or continuing leakage
    to groundwater that continues to impact the environment if not remediated), the
    inspectors evaluated whether the ODCM was updated to include the new release point.
  b. Findings
    No findings were identified.
.7  Problem Identification and Resolution (02.07)
  a. Inspection Scope
    The inspectors assessed whether problems associated with the Effluent Monitoring and
    Control Program were being identified by the licensee at an appropriate threshold, and
                                              23


===.2 Underground Vaults===
      were properly addressed for resolution in the licensee CAP. In addition, the inspectors
      evaluated the appropriateness of the corrective actions for a selected sample of
      problems documented by the licensee involving radiation monitoring and exposure
      controls.
  b. Findings
      No findings were identified.

The inspectors selected underground bunkers/manholes subject to flooding that contained cables whose failure could disable risk-significant equipment. The inspectors determined whether the cables were submerged, whether splices were intact, and whether appropriate cable support structures were in place. In those areas where dewatering devices were used, such as a sump pump, the inspectors determined whether the device was operable and level alarm circuits were set appropriately to ensure that the cables would not be submerged. In those areas without dewatering devices, the inspectors verified that drainage of the area was available, or that the cables were qualified for submerged conditions. The inspectors also reviewed the licensee's corrective action documents with respect to past submerged cable issues identified in the CAP to verify the adequacy of the corrective actions.

    Regulatory Assessment Performance Indicator Guideline, Revision 7, dated
    August 2013, to determine the accuracy of the PI data reported during those periods.
    The inspectors reviewed the licensees assessment of the PI for occupational radiation
    safety to determine if indicator related data was adequately assessed and reported. To
    assess the adequacy of the licensees PI data collection and analyses, the inspectors
    discussed with radiation protection staff, the scope and breadth of its data review and
    the results of those reviews. The inspectors independently reviewed electronic personal
    dosimetry dose rate and accumulated dose alarms and dose reports, and the dose
    assignments for any intakes that occurred during the time period reviewed to determine
    if there were potentially unrecognized occurrences. The inspectors also conducted
    walkdowns of numerous locked high and very high radiation area entrances to determine

====a. Inspection Scope====
- EN-DC-161, Control of Combustibles, Revision 13
The inspectors reviewed the following issues:
- EN-DC-359, Fire Risk Management During Non-Power Operations for NFPA 805 Plants,
* primary cooling system (PCS) branch connection weld inspection calculation errors;
  Revision 1
* fuel oil transfer system operability; * 'A' PCP decreasing lower bearing oil level trend; and
- EN-IS-123, Electrical Safety, Revision 14
* containment level indicating transmitter (LIT) capacitor failure. The inspectors selected these potential operability issues based on the risk significance of the associated components and systems. The inspectors evaluated the technical adequacy of the evaluations to ensure that TS operability was properly justified and the subject component or system remained available such that no unrecognized increase in risk occurred. The inspectors compared the operability and design criteria in the appropriate sections of the TS and UFSAR to the licensee's evaluations to determine whether the components or systems were operable. Where compensatory measures were required to maintain operability, the inspectors determined whether the measures in place would function as intended and were properly controlled. The inspectors determined, where appropriate, compliance with bounding limitations associated with the evaluations. Additionally, the inspectors reviewed a sample of corrective action documents to verify that the licensee was identifying and correcting any deficiencies associated with operability evaluations. Documents reviewed are listed in the Attachment to this report. This operability inspection constituted three samples as defined in IP 71111.15-05. The sample for the weld inspection calculation error was accounted for in Inspection Report (IR) 05000255/2015012.

=====Description.=====
- CR-PLP-2015-03922, Mode 3 Walkdown - P-50B, September 18, 2015
During the performance of monthly operations TS surveillance test MO-45, "Control Room Channel Checks," on June 21, 2015, LIT-0446B, the 'B' containment LIT, was found to be indicating below the acceptance criteria minimum required value. The transmitter was declared inoperable in accordance with TS 3.3.7, "Post Accident Monitoring," since the accuracy over the entire level span of the instrument was considered degraded such that it could no longer perform its function to accurately monitor containment water level as specified by Regulatory Guide 1.97. These containment LITs are relied upon in the plant's emergency operating procedures to ensure adequate net positive suction head for emergency core cooling system (ECCS) pumps following receipt of a recirculation actuation signal (RAS).

On July 16, 2015, further troubleshooting was conducted and determined that the electrolytic capacitor within the transmitter's converter module failed and the most likely cause of the capacitor failure was operation beyond the component's service life since the LITs had been in service for greater than 10 years. Entergy subsequently submitted letter PNP 2015-058 to the NRC on August 3, 2015, reporting this information as required by TS 5.6.6. This specification states that if post-accident monitoring instrumentation is inoperable, a preplanned alternate method of monitoring, the cause of the inoperability, and the schedule for restoring the inoperable instrument to an operable status shall be submitted in a report to the NRC. The resident inspectors asked follow-up questions associated with industry operating experience and the preventive maintenance program for these transmitters. These LITs were replaced on an "as-required" basis (no preventive maintenance frequency) and were classified as non-critical components in the licensee's maintenance program.

However, industry operating experience and Electric Power Research Institute guidance was found by the inspectors that indicated electrolytic capacitors have a specified lifespan based on operating conditions and applications. The NRC issued Information Notice (IN) 2012-11, "Age-Related Capacitor Degradation," in July 2012, which also informed licensees of problems that involved the age-related degradation of capacitors.

The licensee documented a review of this IN in CR-PLP-2012-5721. However, the licensee's preventive maintenance interval review of this operating experience only considered electrolytic capacitors that were classified as critical components in their maintenance rule program. The capacitors which were identified during this review were scheduled for, at most, 10 year replacement intervals. The licensee potentially missed the opportunity to establish a replacement program for these transmitters at that time. In addition to entering this issue into their CAP as CR-PLP-2015-04972, the licensee replaced the failed components and planned to develop a replacement schedule for non-critical, safety-related electrolytic capacitors.

The inspectors determined that the performance deficiency was more than minor in accordance with Inspection Manual Chapter (IMC) 0612 "Power Reactor Inspection Reports," Appendix B, "Issue Screening," dated September 7, 2012, because the performance deficiency was associated with the Equipment Performance attribute of the Mitigating Systems cornerstone and adversely affected the cornerstone objective of ensuring the availability, reliability, and capability of systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences (i.e., core damage). The containment water LITs are relied upon in the plant's emergency operating procedures to ensure adequate net positive suction head for ECCS pumps following a RAS. The finding was screened in accordance with IMC 0609, Appendix A, "The Significance Determination Process for Findings At-Power," Exhibit 1, "Mitigating Systems Screening Questions," dated July 1, 2012. The finding screened as having very low safety significance (i.e., Green) based on answering "No" to all the screening questions under the Mitigating SSCs and Functionality section of IMC 0609, Appendix A, Exhibit 1.

=====Enforcement.=====
- Palisades Third Quarter Emergency Planning Drill, August 26, 2015
10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion III, "Design Control," requires, in part, that measures shall be established for the selection and review for suitability of application of materials, parts, equipment, and processes that are essential to the safety-related functions of SSCs. Contrary to the above, as of June 21, 2015, the licensee failed to review for suitability of application of parts essential to the safety-related functions of the containment floor level indicating system. Specifically, the licensee did not review for suitability of application of safety-related electrolytic capacitors in the containment floor LITs that were installed beyond their recommended service life to justify their continued service considering in-service deterioration. As part of their immediate corrective actions, the licensee replaced the failed components. Because this violation was of very low safety significance and it was entered into the licensee's CAP as CR-PLP-2015-04972, it is being treated as an NCV, consistent with Section 2.3.2 of the NRC Enforcement Policy.  (NCV 05000255/2015003-01 Failure to Justify Continued Service of Safety-Related Electrolytic Capacitors Installed Beyond Their Service Life)

====a. Inspection Scope====
- CH 6.20, Radioactive Effluent Operating Procedure, Revision 3
Operator workarounds are operator actions taken to compensate for degraded or non-conforming conditions. Operator workarounds that cannot be implemented effectively can contribute to an increase in overall plant risk. The inspectors verified that the licensee was identifying operator workarounds at an appropriate threshold, entering them into their CAP, and had planned or taken appropriate corrective actions. As part of their review, the inspectors considered all existing plant conditions and the cumulative impact of all operator workarounds. The inspectors evaluated the licensee's operator workarounds to determine if any mitigating system functions were adversely impacted. Additionally, the inspectors assessed whether or not the operator workarounds had adversely impacted the operator's ability to implement abnormal or emergency operating procedures. The inspectors placed particular emphasis on any operator workarounds that had not been effectively evaluated by the licensee; that had been formalized or proceduralized as the long-term corrective actions for a degraded or nonconforming condition; and that may have increased the potential for human error, such as operator workarounds that:

* diagnostic and stroke testing of service water control valves replaced on the CCW heat exchanger during RFO 1R24. These activities were selected based upon the SSCs ability to impact risk. The inspectors evaluated these activities for the following (as applicable):  the effect of testing on the plant had been adequately addressed; testing was adequate for the maintenance performed; acceptance criteria were clear and demonstrated operational readiness; test instrumentation was appropriate; tests were performed as written in accordance with properly reviewed and approved procedures; equipment was returned to its operational status following testing (temporary modifications or jumpers required for test performance were properly removed after test completion); and test documentation was properly evaluated. The inspectors evaluated the activities against TSs, the UFSAR, 10 CFR Part 50 requirements, licensee procedures, and various NRC generic communications to ensure that the test results adequately ensured that the equipment met the licensing basis and design requirements. In addition, the inspectors reviewed corrective action documents associated with post-maintenance tests to determine whether the licensee was identifying problems and entering them in the CAP and that the problems were being corrected commensurate with their importance to safety. Documents reviewed are listed in the Attachment to this report. This inspection constituted four post-maintenance testing samples as defined in IP 71111.19-05.

===.1 Inspection Planning and Program Reviews (02.01) Event Report and Effluent Report Reviews===
 
====a. Inspection Scope====
The inspectors reviewed the Radiological Effluent Release Reports issued since the last inspection to determine if the reports were submitted as required by the Offsite Dose Calculation Manual (ODCM)/TSs. The inspectors reviewed anomalous results, unexpected trends, or abnormal releases identified by the licensee for further inspection to determine if they were evaluated, were entered in the CAP, and were adequately resolved. The inspectors selected radioactive effluent monitor operability issues reported by the licensee as provided in effluent release reports, to review these issues during the onsite inspection, as warranted, given their relative significance, and determine if the issues were entered into the CAP and adequately resolved.
 
====b. Findings====
No findings were identified.
 
Offsite Dose Calculation Manual and Final Safety Analysis Report Review
 
====a. Inspection Scope====
The inspectors reviewed UFSAR descriptions of the radioactive effluent monitoring systems, treatment systems, and effluent flow paths so they could be evaluated during inspection walkdowns. The inspectors reviewed changes to the ODCM made by the licensee since the last inspection against the guidance in NUREG-1301, 1302, and 0133, and Regulatory Guides 1.109, 1.21, and 4.1. When differences were identified, the inspectors reviewed the technical basis or evaluations of the change during the onsite inspection to determine whether they were technically justified and maintain effluent releases as-low-as-reasonably-achievable. The inspectors reviewed licensee documentation to determine if the licensee has identified any non-radioactive systems that have become contaminated as disclosed either through an event report or the ODCM since the last inspection. This review provided an intelligent sample list for the onsite inspection of any 10 CFR 50.59 evaluations, and allowed a determination if any newly contaminated systems have an unmonitored effluent discharge path to the environment, whether any required ODCM revisions were made to incorporate these new pathways, and whether the associated effluents were reported in accordance with Regulatory Guide 1.21.
 
====b. Findings====
No findings were identified.
 
Groundwater Protection Initiative Program
 
====a. Inspection Scope====
The inspectors reviewed reported groundwater monitoring results and changes to the licensee's written program for identifying and controlling contaminated spills/leaks to groundwater.
 
====b. Findings====
No findings were identified. Procedures, Special Reports, and Other Documents
 
====a. Inspection Scope====
The inspectors reviewed Licensee Event Reports, event reports, and/or special reports related to the Effluent Program issued since the previous inspection to identify any additional focus areas for the inspection based on the scope/breadth of problems described in these reports. The inspectors reviewed the Effluent Program implementing procedures, particularly those associated with effluent sampling, effluent monitor set-point determinations, and dose calculations. The inspectors reviewed copies of licensee and third party (independent) evaluation reports of the Effluent Monitoring Program since the last inspection to gather insights into the licensee's program, and aid in selecting areas for inspection review (smart sampling).
 
====b. Findings====
No findings were identified.
 
===.2 Walkdowns and Observations (02.02)===
 
====a. Inspection Scope====
The inspectors walked down selected components of the gaseous and liquid discharge systems to evaluate whether equipment configuration and flow paths align with the documents reviewed in 02.01 above, and to assess equipment material condition.
 
Special attention was made to identify potential unmonitored release points (such as open roof vents in boiling water reactor turbine decks, temporary structures butted against turbine, auxiliary or containment buildings), building alterations which could impact airborne, or liquid effluent controls, and ventilation system leakage that communicates directly with the environment.
 
For equipment or areas associated with the systems selected for review that were not readily accessible due to radiological conditions, the inspectors reviewed the licensee's material condition surveillance records, as applicable. The inspectors walked down filtered ventilation systems to assess for conditions such as degraded high-efficiency particulate air/charcoal banks, improper alignment, or system installation issues that would impact the performance or the effluent monitoring capability of the effluent system. As available, the inspectors observed selected portions of the routine processing and discharge of radioactive gaseous effluent (including sample collection and analysis) to evaluate whether appropriate treatment equipment was used, and the processing activities align with discharge permits. The inspectors determined if the licensee had made significant changes to their effluent release points (e.g., changes subject to a 10 CFR 50.59 review, or require NRC approval of alternate discharge points). As available, the inspectors observed selected portions of the routine processing and discharging of liquid waste (including sample collection and analysis) to determine if appropriate effluent treatment equipment was being used, and that radioactive liquid waste was being processed and discharged in accordance with procedure requirements and aligned with discharge permits.
 
====b. Findings====
No findings were identified.
 
===.3 Sampling and Analyses (02.03)===
 
====a. Inspection Scope====
The inspectors selected effluent sampling activities, consistent with smart sampling, and assessed whether adequate controls have been implemented to ensure representative samples were obtained (e.g., provisions for sample line flushing, vessel recirculation, composite samplers, etc.). The inspectors selected effluent discharges made with inoperable (declared out-of-service) effluent radiation monitors to assess whether controls were in place to ensure compensatory sampling was performed consistent with the radiological effluent TSs/ODCM, and that those controls were adequate to prevent the release of unmonitored liquid and gaseous effluents. The inspectors determined whether the facility was routinely relying on the use of compensatory sampling in lieu of adequate system maintenance, based on the frequency of compensatory sampling since the last inspection. The inspectors reviewed the results of the Inter-Laboratory Comparison Program to evaluate the quality of the radioactive effluent sample analyses, and assessed whether the Inter-Laboratory Comparison Program included hard-to-detect isotopes as appropriate.
 
====b. Findings====
No findings were identified.
 
===.4 Instrumentation and Equipment (02.04) Effluent Flow Measuring Instruments===
 
====a. Inspection Scope====
The inspectors reviewed the methodology the licensee used to determine the effluent stack and vent flow rates to determine if the flow rates were consistent with radiological effluent TSs/ODCM or UFSAR values, and that differences between assumed and actual stack, and vent flow rates did not affect the results of the projected public doses.
 
====b. Findings====
No findings were identified. Air Cleaning Systems
 
====a. Inspection Scope====
The inspectors assessed whether surveillance test results since the previous inspection for TS required ventilation effluent discharge systems (high-efficiency particulate air and charcoal filtration), such as the Standby Gas Treatment System, and the Containment/ Auxiliary Building Ventilation System, met TS acceptance criteria.
 
====b. Findings====
No findings were identified.
 
===.5 Dose Calculations (02.05)===
 
====a. Inspection Scope====
The inspectors reviewed all significant changes in reported dose values compared to the previous Radiological Effluent Release Report (e.g., a factor of five, or increases that approach Appendix I criteria) to evaluate the factors, which may have resulted in the change. The inspectors reviewed radioactive liquid and gaseous waste discharge permits to assess whether the projected doses to members of the public were accurate and based on representative samples of the discharge path. The inspectors evaluated the methods used to determine the isotopes that are included in the source term to ensure all applicable radionuclides are included within detectability standards. The review included the current Part 61 analyses to ensure hard-to-detect radionuclides are included in the source term. The inspectors reviewed changes in the licensee's offsite dose calculations since the last inspection to evaluate whether changes were consistent with the ODCM and, Regulatory Guide 1.109. Inspectors reviewed meteorological dispersion and deposition factors used in the ODCM and effluent dose calculations to evaluate whether appropriate factors were being used for public dose calculations. The inspectors reviewed the latest Land Use Census to assess whether changes (e.g., significant increases or decreases to population in the plant environs, changes in critical exposure pathways, the location of nearest member of the public, or critical receptor, etc.) have been factored into the dose calculations. For the releases reviewed above, the inspectors evaluated whether the calculated doses (monthly, quarterly, and annual dose) were within the 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix I, and TS dose criteria. The inspectors reviewed, as available, records of any abnormal gaseous or liquid tank discharges (e.g., discharges resulting from misaligned valves, valve leak-by, etc.) to ensure the abnormal discharge was monitored by the discharge point effluent monitor.
 
Discharges made with inoperable effluent radiation monitors, or unmonitored leakages were reviewed to ensure that an evaluation was made of the discharge to satisfy 10 CFR 20.1501 so as to account for the source term and projected doses to the public.
 
====b. Findings====
 
=====Introduction:=====
The inspectors identified a finding of very low safety significance (Green) and an associated NCV of TS 5.5.1, "Offsite Dose Calculation Manual," for the failure to establish, implement, and maintain the ODCM relative to dose calculation parameters. Specifically, the licensee failed to modify the parameters used in public radiation calculations when changes in the use of unrestricted areas were identified.
 
=====Description:=====
The NRC requires that the licensee identify changes in the use of unrestricted areas to permit modifications in monitoring programs for evaluating doses to individuals from principal pathways of exposure. This was described as the "Land Use Census," in the ODCM.
 
The licensee completed the land use census in September/October 2014 using licensee procedure CH 6.41 "Land Use Census."  The procedure also directed that any changes to critical receptors or X/Q values that modify offsite dose calculations due to the land use census be effective January 1 of the year following the land use census. Although this was normal and expected, the new and sometimes more restrictive values were not transferred to the offsite dose calculation software, "GASPAR."  As a result, the quarterly and annual doses that were calculated every 31 days, as required by the ODCM, were incorrect and non-conservative. Discussions with the licensee revealed that the Radiological Effluent Technical Specification (RETS) Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program (REMP) Specialist assumed the duties and responsibilities of this position in November 2014; months after the previous RETS-REMP Specialist had left the organization. The new individual was aware that the land use census had been completed, but did not realize the results were not incorporated into the program for evaluating doses to individuals from principal pathways of exposure. As part of their immediate corrective actions, the licensee entered this issue into their CAP as CR-2015-2972 and recalculated the dose using the correct calculation parameters.
 
=====Analysis:=====
The inspectors determined that the failure to establish, implement, and maintain the dose calculation parameters of the ODCM was not in accordance with TS 5.5.1, and was a performance deficiency.
 
The inspectors determined that the performance deficiency was more than minor because it was associated with the Program and Process attribute of the Public Radiation Safety cornerstone and adversely affected the cornerstone objective of ensuring the adequate protection of public health and safety from exposure to radioactive materials released into the public domain as a result of routine civilian nuclear reactor operation. Specifically, the non-conservative calculation of dose to members of the public impeded the ability to provide adequate protection of public health and safety from exposure to radioactive materials released into the public domain as a result of routine civilian nuclear reactor operations. The finding was assessed using IMC 0609, Appendix D, "Public Radiation Safety Significance Determination Process," and was determined to be of very low safety significance (Green) because the issue did not represent a significant deficiency in evaluating a planned or unplanned effluent release since the resulting dose was not grossly underestimated.
 
As described above, the cause for this failure was attributed to the lack of turnover to the new program owner from the previous program owner. As a result, the finding had a cross-cutting aspect of Training in the Human Performance cross-cutting area because the licensee did not ensure adequate knowledge transfer to maintain a knowledgeable, technically competent workforce.  (H.9).
 
=====Enforcement:=====
TS 5.5.1, "Offsite Dose Calculation Manual," requires the licensee to establish, implement, and maintain the ODCM. ODCM, Section I.B, required dose rates to be calculated for:  (1) noble gases and (2) iodines and particulates. Dose rates as defined in this section are based on 10 CFR 50, Appendix I, limits of millirem per quarter and millirem per year. All dose pathways of major importance in the Palisades Nuclear Plant environs are considered, and are to be evaluated at the offsite exposure points where maximum concentrations are expected to exist (overland sector site boundaries) and nearest residents.
 
Contrary to the above, between January 1 and July 16, 2015, the licensee failed to calculate the dose rates from noble gases, iodines, and particulates to the nearest resident. As part of their immediate corrective actions, the licensee recalculated the dose using the correct calculation parameters. Because this violation was of very low safety significance and was entered into the licensee's CAP as CR-2015-2972, this violation is being treated as an NCV, consistent with Section 2.3.2.a of the NRC Enforcement Policy.  (NCV 05000255/2015003-02, Failure to Establish, Implement, and Maintain the ODCM Relative to Dose Calculation Parameters)
 
===.6 Groundwater Protection Initiative Implementation (02.06)===
 
====a. Inspection Scope====
The inspectors reviewed monitoring results of the Groundwater Protection Initiative to determine if the licensee had implemented its program as intended, and to identify any anomalous results. For anomalous results or missed samples, the inspectors assessed whether the licensee had identified and addressed deficiencies through its CAP. The inspectors reviewed identified leakage or spill events and entries made into 10 CFR 50.75(g) records. The inspectors reviewed evaluations of leaks or spills and reviewed any remediation actions taken for effectiveness. The inspectors reviewed onsite contamination events involving contamination of ground water and assessed whether the source of the leak or spill was identified and mitigated. For unmonitored spills, leaks, or unexpected liquid or gaseous discharges, the inspectors assessed whether an evaluation was performed to determine the type and amount of radioactive material that was discharged by:
* assessing whether sufficient radiological surveys were performed to evaluate the extent of the contamination and the radiological source term and assessing whether a survey/evaluation had been performed to include consideration of hard-to-detect radionuclides; and
* determining whether the licensee completed offsite notifications, as provided in its Groundwater Protection Initiative implementing procedures. The inspectors reviewed the evaluation of discharges from onsite surface water bodies that contained or potentially contained radioactivity, and the potential for groundwater leakage from these onsite surface water bodies. The inspectors assessed whether the licensee was properly accounting for discharges from these surface water bodies as part of their Effluent Release Reports. The inspectors assessed whether onsite groundwater sample results and a description of any significant onsite leaks/spills into groundwater for each calendar year were documented in the Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report for the REMP, or the Annual Radiological Effluent Release Report for the RETS. For significant, new effluent discharge points (such as significant or continuing leakage to groundwater that continues to impact the environment if not remediated), the inspectors evaluated whether the ODCM was updated to include the new release point.
 
====b. Findings====
No findings were identified.
 
===.7 Problem Identification and Resolution (02.07)===
 
====a. Inspection Scope====
The inspectors assessed whether problems associated with the Effluent Monitoring and Control Program were being identified by the licensee at an appropriate threshold, and were properly addressed for resolution in the licensee CAP. In addition, the inspectors evaluated the appropriateness of the corrective actions for a selected sample of problems documented by the licensee involving radiation monitoring and exposure controls.

====a. Inspection Scope====
The inspectors sampled licensee submittals for the Occupational Exposure Control Effectiveness PI for the period from the second quarter 2014 through the second quarter 2015. The inspectors used PI definitions and guidance contained in NEI 99-02, "Regulatory Assessment Performance Indicator Guideline," Revision 7, dated August 2013, to determine the accuracy of the PI data reported during those periods.


The inspectors reviewed the licensee's assessment of the PI for occupational radiation safety to determine if indicator related data was adequately assessed and reported. To assess the adequacy of the licensee's PI data collection and analyses, the inspectors discussed with radiation protection staff, the scope and breadth of its data review and the results of those reviews. The inspectors independently reviewed electronic personal dosimetry dose rate and accumulated dose alarms and dose reports, and the dose assignments for any intakes that occurred during the time period reviewed to determine if there were potentially unrecognized occurrences. The inspectors also conducted walkdowns of numerous locked high and very high radiation area entrances to determine the adequacy of the controls in place for these areas. Documents reviewed are listed in the Attachment to this report. This inspection constituted one occupational exposure control effectiveness sample as defined in IP 71151-05.

===.1 Routine Review of Items Entered into the Corrective Action Program===
 
====a. Inspection Scope====
As part of the various baseline IPs discussed in previous sections of this report, the inspectors routinely reviewed issues during baseline inspection activities and plant status reviews to verify they were being entered into the licensee's CAP at an appropriate threshold, that adequate attention was being given to timely corrective actions, and that adverse trends were identified and addressed. Attributes reviewed included:  identification of the problem was complete and accurate; timeliness was commensurate with the safety significance; evaluation and disposition of performance issues, generic implications, common causes, contributing factors, root causes, extent-of-condition reviews, and previous occurrences reviews were proper and adequate; and that the classification, prioritization, focus, and timeliness of corrective actions were commensurate with safety and sufficient to prevent recurrence of the issue. Minor issues entered into the licensee's CAP as a result of the inspectors' observations are included in the Attachment to this report. These routine reviews for the identification and resolution of problems did not constitute any additional inspection samples. Instead, by procedure they were considered an integral part of the inspections performed during the quarter and documented in Section 1 of this report.

SUBJECT: PALISADES NUCLEAR PLANT

NRC INTEGRATED INSPECTION REPORT 05000255/2015003

Dear Mr. Vitale:

On September 30, 2015, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed an

inspection at your Palisades Nuclear Plant. The enclosed report documents the results of this

inspection, which were discussed on October 29, 2015, with you and other members of your

staff.

Based on the results of this inspection, two NRC-identified findings of very low safety

significance were identified. The findings involved violations of NRC requirements. However,

because of their very low safety significance, and because the issues were entered into your

corrective action program, the NRC is treating the violations as non-cited violations (NCVs) in

accordance with Section 2.3.2 of the NRC Enforcement Policy.

If you contest the subject or severity of any NCV, you should provide a response within 30 days

of the date of this inspection report, with the basis for your denial, to the U.S. Nuclear

Regulatory Commission, ATTN: Document Control Desk, Washington, DC 20555-0001, with a

copy to the Regional Administrator, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission-Region III,

2443 Warrenville Road, Suite 210, Lisle, IL 60532-4352; the Director, Office of Enforcement,

U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555-0001; and the Resident

Inspector Office at the Palisades Nuclear Plant. 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 III, and the NRC Resident Inspector at the Palisades Nuclear

Plant.

SUMMARY OF FINDINGS

Inspection Report (IR) 05000255/2015003, 07/01/2015-09/30/2015; Palisades Nuclear Plant;

Operability Determinations and Functional Assessments; and Radioactive Gaseous and Liquid

Effluent Treatment.

This report covers a 3-month period of inspection by resident inspectors and announced

baseline inspections by regional inspectors. Two Green findings were identified by the

inspectors. These findings were considered non-cited violations (NCVs) of U.S. Nuclear

Regulatory Commission (NRC) regulations. The significance of inspection findings is indicated

by their color (i.e., greater than Green, or Green, White, Yellow, Red) and determined using

Inspection Manual Chapter (IMC) 0609, Significance Determination Process, dated

April 29, 2015. Cross-cutting aspects are determined using IMC 0310, Aspects Within the

Cross-Cutting Areas, dated December 4, 2014. All violations of NRC requirements are

dispositioned in accordance with the NRCs Enforcement Policy dated July 9, 2013. The NRC's

program for overseeing the safe operation of commercial nuclear power reactors is described in

NUREG-1649, Reactor Oversight Process, Revision 5, dated February 2014.

Cornerstone: Mitigating Systems

Green. An NRC-identified finding of very low safety significance and an associated NCV

of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) Part 50, Appendix B,

Criterion III, Design Control, was identified for the failure to justify continued service of

safety-related electrolytic capacitors that were installed beyond their recommended

service life associated with the safety-related containment floor level indicating

transmitters (LITs). Specifically, on June 21, 2015, containment floor LIT LIT-0446B

and LIT-0446A did not satisfy the acceptance criteria of the technical specification

surveillance monthly channel checks and LIT-0446B was declared inoperable. Further

troubleshooting identified a failure of the electrolytic capacitor within the transmitters

converter module and that this failure was most likely due to age since the transmitter

had been in service for greater than its recommended service life. In addition to entering

this issue into their Corrective Action Program (CAP) as CR-PLP-2015-04972, the

licensee replaced the failed components and planned to develop a replacement

schedule for non-critical, safety-related electrolytic capacitors.

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

associated with the Equipment Performance attribute of the Mitigating Systems

cornerstone and adversely affected the cornerstone objective of ensuring the availability,

reliability, and capability of systems that respond to initiating events to prevent

undesirable consequences (i.e., core damage). The finding screened as having very low

safety significance based on answering No to all of the screening questions in the

Mitigating Structures, Systems, and Components (SSCs) and Functionality section of

IMC 0609, Appendix A, The Significance Determination Process for Findings At-Power,

Exhibit 1, Mitigating Systems Screening Questions. The finding had a cross-cutting

aspect of Operating Experience in the Problem Identification and Resolution

cross-cutting area because the licensee did not effectively and thoroughly evaluate and

implement relevant industry operating experience and guidance for age-related

electrolytic capacitor degradation [P.5]. (Section 1R15)

2

Cornerstones: Occupational Radiation Safety and Public Radiation Safety

Green. A finding of very low safety significance and an associated NCV of Technical

Specification (TS) 5.5.1, Offsite Dose Calculation Manual, was identified for the failure

to establish, implement, and maintain the Offsite Dose Calculation Manual (ODCM)

relative to dose calculation parameters. Specifically, the licensee failed to modify the

parameters used in public radiation calculations when changes in the use of unrestricted

areas were identified. As a result, the quarterly and annual doses that were calculated

every 31 days, as required by the ODCM, were incorrect and non-conservative. In

addition to entering this issue into their CAP as CR-PLP-2015-2972, the licensee

recalculated the dose using the correct calculation parameters.

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

associated with the Program and Process attribute of the Public Radiation Safety

cornerstone and adversely affected the cornerstone objective of ensuring the adequate

protection of public health and safety from exposure to radioactive materials released

into the public domain as a result of routine civilian nuclear reactor operation. The

finding was determined to be of very low safety significance in accordance with

IMC 0609, Appendix D, Public Radiation Safety Significance Determination Process,

because the issue did not represent a significant deficiency in evaluating a planned or

unplanned effluent release since the resulting dose was not grossly underestimated.

The finding had a cross-cutting aspect of Training in the Human Performance

cross-cutting area because the licensee did not ensure adequate knowledge transfer to

maintain a knowledgeable, technically competent workforce. [H.9] (Section 2RS6)

REPORT DETAILS

Summary of Plant Status

The plant operated at or near full power during the inspection period until August 24, 2015,

when the operators entered a coastdown period in preparation for refueling outage (RFO) 1R24.

On September 16, 2015, the unit automatically tripped in response to an electrical failure in the

digital electrohydraulic control system. The unit remained shutdown and transitioned into the

RFO for the remainder of the inspection period.

1. REACTOR SAFETY

Cornerstones: Initiating Events, Mitigating Systems, and Barrier Integrity

1R04 Equipment Alignment (71111.04)

.1 Quarterly Partial System Walkdowns

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors performed partial system walkdowns of the following risk-significant

systems:

feedwater system;

  • 1-2 diesel generator during surveillance of the 1-1 diesel generator;
  • Air system alignment to containment during RFO 1R24.

The inspectors selected these systems based on their risk significance relative to the

Reactor Safety Cornerstones at the time they were inspected. The inspectors attempted

to identify any discrepancies that could impact the function of the system and therefore

potentially increase risk. The inspectors reviewed applicable operating procedures,

system diagrams, the Updated Final Safety Analysis Report (UFSAR), Technical

Specification (TS) requirements, outstanding work orders (WOs), condition reports

(CRs), and the impact of ongoing work activities on redundant trains of equipment in

order to identify conditions that could have rendered the systems incapable of

performing their intended functions. The inspectors also walked down accessible

portions of the systems to verify system components and support equipment were

aligned correctly and operable. The inspectors examined the material condition of the

components and observed operating parameters of equipment to verify that there were

no obvious deficiencies. The inspectors also verified that the licensee had properly

identified and resolved equipment alignment problems that could cause initiating events

or impact the capability of mitigating systems or barriers and entered them into the

Corrective Action Program (CAP) with the appropriate significance characterization.

Documents reviewed are listed in the Attachment to this report.

These activities constituted four partial system walkdown samples as defined in

Inspection Procedure (IP) 71111.04-05.

4

b. Findings

No findings were identified.

.2 Semiannual Complete System Walkdown

a. Inspection Scope

Between July 21 and August 12, 2015, the inspectors performed a complete system

alignment inspection of the service water system to verify the functional capability of the

system. This system was selected because it was considered both safety-significant

and risk-significant in the licensees probabilistic risk assessment. The inspectors

walked down the system to review mechanical and electrical equipment lineups;

electrical power availability; system pressure and temperature indications; component

labeling; component lubrication; component and equipment cooling; hangers and

supports; operability of support systems; and to ensure that ancillary equipment or

debris did not interfere with equipment operation. A review of a sample of past and

outstanding WOs was performed to determine whether any deficiencies significantly

affected the system function. In addition, the inspectors reviewed the CAP database to

ensure that system equipment alignment problems were being identified and

appropriately resolved. Documents reviewed are listed in the Attachment to this report.

These activities constituted one complete system walkdown sample as defined in

IP 71111.04-05.

b. Findings

No findings were identified.

1R05 Fire Protection (71111.05)

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors conducted fire protection walkdowns which were focused on the

availability, accessibility, and the condition of firefighting equipment in the following

risk-significant plant areas:

  • Fire Area 16: component cooling water (CCW) pump room;
  • Fire Area 9: screenhouse;
  • Fire Area 10: east engineered safeguards room;
  • Risk-significant fire areas during the higher risk plant operating state #1 of

RFO 1R24;

  • Fire Areas 29, 30, and 31: electrical and mechanical equipment rooms; and
  • Fire Area 6: diesel generator 1-2 and fuel oil day tank room.

The inspectors reviewed areas to assess if the licensee had implemented a fire

protection program that adequately controlled combustibles and ignition sources within

the plant, effectively maintained fire detection and suppression capability, maintained

passive fire protection features in good material condition, and implemented adequate

compensatory measures for out-of-service, degraded, or inoperable fire protection

equipment, systems, or features in accordance with the licensees fire plan.

5

The inspectors selected fire areas based on their overall contribution to internal fire risk

as documented in the plants Individual Plant Examination of External Events with later

additional insights, their potential to impact equipment which could initiate or mitigate a

plant transient, or their impact on the plants ability to respond to a security event.

Using the documents listed in the Attachment to this report, the inspectors verified that

fire hoses and extinguishers were in their designated locations and available for

immediate use; that fire detectors and sprinklers were unobstructed; that transient

material loading was within the analyzed limits; and fire doors, dampers, and penetration

seals appeared to be in satisfactory condition. The inspectors also verified that minor

issues identified during the inspection were entered into the licensees CAP.

These activities constituted six quarterly fire protection inspection samples as defined in

IP 71111.05-05.

b. Findings

No findings were identified.

1R06 Flooding (71111.06)

.1 Internal Flooding

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors reviewed selected risk-important plant design features and licensee

procedures intended to protect the plant and its safety-related equipment from internal

flooding events. The inspectors reviewed flood analyses and design documents,

including the UFSAR, engineering calculations, and abnormal operating procedures to

identify licensee commitments. The inspectors also reviewed the licensees corrective

action documents with respect to past flood-related items identified in the CAP to verify

the adequacy of the corrective actions. The inspectors performed a walkdown of the

following plant area to assess the adequacy of watertight doors and verify drains and

sumps were clear of debris and were operable, and that the licensee complied with its

commitments:

  • cable spreading room.

Documents reviewed during this inspection are listed in the Attachment to this report.

This inspection constituted one internal flooding sample as defined in IP 71111.06-05.

b. Findings

No findings were identified.

.2 Underground Vaults

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors selected underground bunkers/manholes subject to flooding that

contained cables whose failure could disable risk-significant equipment. The inspectors

determined whether the cables were submerged, whether splices were intact, and

whether appropriate cable support structures were in place. In those areas where

6

dewatering devices were used, such as a sump pump, the inspectors determined

whether the device was operable and level alarm circuits were set appropriately to

ensure that the cables would not be submerged. In those areas without dewatering

devices, the inspectors verified that drainage of the area was available, or that the

cables were qualified for submerged conditions. The inspectors also reviewed the

licensees corrective action documents with respect to past submerged cable issues

identified in the CAP to verify the adequacy of the corrective actions. The inspectors

performed a walkdown of the following underground bunkers/manholes subject to

flooding:

  • Manhole #4 and Manhole #8.

Documents reviewed are listed in the Attachment to this report. This inspection

constituted one underground vaults sample as defined in IP 71111.06-05.

b. Findings

No findings were identified.

1R11 Licensed Operator Requalification Program (71111.11)

.1 Resident Inspector Quarterly Review of Licensed Operator Requalification (71111.11Q)

a. Inspection Scope

On August 5, 2015, the inspectors observed a crew of licensed operators in the plants

simulator during licensed operator requalification training. The inspectors verified that

operator performance was adequate, evaluators were identifying and documenting crew

performance problems, and that training was being conducted in accordance with

licensee procedures. The inspectors evaluated the following areas:

  • licensed operator performance;
  • crews clarity and formality of communications;
  • the ability to take timely actions in the conservative direction;
  • prioritization, interpretation, and verification of annunciator alarms;
  • correct use and implementation of abnormal and emergency procedures;
  • control board manipulations;
  • oversight and direction from supervisors; and
  • the ability to identify and implement appropriate TS actions and Emergency Plan

actions and notifications.

Crew performance in these areas was compared to pre-established operator action

expectations and successful critical task completion requirements. Documents reviewed

are listed in the Attachment to this report.

This inspection constituted one quarterly licensed operator requalification program

simulator sample as defined in IP 71111.11-05.

b. Findings

No findings were identified.

.2 Resident Inspector Quarterly Observation During Periods of Heightened Activity or Risk

(71111.11Q)

a. Inspection Scope

On September 16, 2015, the inspectors observed a reactor cooldown to Mode 5

following a reactor trip. This was an activity that required heightened awareness or was

related to increased risk. The inspectors evaluated the following areas:

  • licensed operator performance;
  • the crews clarity and formality of communications;
  • ability to take timely actions in the conservative direction;
  • prioritization, interpretation, and verification of annunciator alarms;
  • correct use and implementation of procedures;
  • control board manipulations;
  • oversight and direction from supervisors; and
  • the ability to identify and implement appropriate TS actions and Emergency Plan

actions and notifications.

Performance in these areas was compared to pre-established operator action

expectations, procedural compliance, and task completion requirements. Documents

reviewed are listed in the Attachment to this report.

This inspection constituted one quarterly licensed operator heightened activity/risk

sample as defined in IP 71111.11-05.

b. Findings

No findings were identified.

1R12 Maintenance Effectiveness (71111.12)

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors evaluated degraded performance issues involving the following

risk-significant system:

  • containment personnel inner air lock door.

The inspectors reviewed events including those in which ineffective equipment

maintenance resulted in valid or invalid automatic actuations of engineered safeguards

systems and independently verified the licensee's actions to address system

performance or condition problems in terms of the following:

  • implementing appropriate work practices;
  • identifying and addressing common cause failures;
  • scoping of systems in accordance with Title 10 of the Code of Federal

Regulations (10 CFR) 50.65(b) of the maintenance rule;

  • characterizing system reliability issues for performance;
  • charging unavailability for performance;
  • trending key parameters for condition monitoring;

8

  • verifying appropriate performance criteria for structures, systems, and

components (SSCs)/functions classified as (a)(2), or appropriate and adequate

goals and corrective actions for systems classified as (a)(1).

The inspectors assessed performance issues with respect to the reliability, availability,

and condition monitoring of the system. In addition, the inspectors verified maintenance

effectiveness issues were entered into the CAP with the appropriate significance

characterization. Documents reviewed are listed in the Attachment to this report.

This inspection constituted one quarterly maintenance effectiveness sample as defined

in IP 71111.12-05.

b. Findings

No findings were identified.

1R13 Maintenance Risk Assessments and Emergent Work Control (71111.13)

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors reviewed the licensee's evaluation and management of plant risk for the

maintenance and emergent work activities affecting risk-significant and safety-related

equipment listed below to verify that appropriate risk assessments were performed prior

to removing equipment for work:

  • breaker 72-13, A primary coolant pump (PCP) direct current oil lift pump,

removal;

  • purification demineralizer filter replacement;
  • diving in the spent fuel pool tilt pit;
  • reduced inventory period #1 during RFO; and

These activities were selected based on their potential risk significance relative to the

Reactor Safety Cornerstones. As applicable for each activity, the inspectors verified that

risk assessments were performed as required by 10 CFR 50.65(a)(4) and were accurate

and complete. When emergent work was performed, the inspectors verified that the

plant risk was promptly reassessed and managed. The inspectors reviewed the scope

of maintenance work, discussed the results of the assessment with the licensee's

probabilistic risk analyst or shift technical advisor, and verified plant conditions were

consistent with the risk assessment. The inspectors also reviewed TS requirements and

walked down portions of redundant safety systems, when applicable, to verify risk

analysis assumptions were valid and applicable requirements were met.

Documents reviewed are listed in the Attachment to this report. These maintenance risk

assessments and emergent work control activities constituted five samples as defined in

IP 71111.13-05.

b. Findings

No findings were identified.

1R15 Operability Determinations and Functional Assessments (71111.15)

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors reviewed the following issues:

  • primary cooling system (PCS) branch connection weld inspection calculation

errors;

  • fuel oil transfer system operability;
  • A PCP decreasing lower bearing oil level trend; and
  • containment level indicating transmitter (LIT) capacitor failure.

The inspectors selected these potential operability issues based on the risk significance

of the associated components and systems. The inspectors evaluated the technical

adequacy of the evaluations to ensure that TS operability was properly justified and the

subject component or system remained available such that no unrecognized increase in

risk occurred. The inspectors compared the operability and design criteria in the

appropriate sections of the TS and UFSAR to the licensees evaluations to determine

whether the components or systems were operable. Where compensatory measures

were required to maintain operability, the inspectors determined whether the measures

in place would function as intended and were properly controlled. The inspectors

determined, where appropriate, compliance with bounding limitations associated with the

evaluations. Additionally, the inspectors reviewed a sample of corrective action

documents to verify that the licensee was identifying and correcting any deficiencies

associated with operability evaluations. Documents reviewed are listed in the

Attachment to this report.

This operability inspection constituted three samples as defined in IP 71111.15-05. The

sample for the weld inspection calculation error was accounted for in Inspection Report

(IR) 05000255/2015012.

b. Findings

Introduction. An NRC-identified finding of very low safety significance (Green) and an

associated Non-Cited Violation (NCV) of 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion III, Design

Control, was identified for the failure to justify continued service of safety-related

electrolytic capacitors installed beyond their recommended service life associated with

containment floor LITs LIT-0446B

and LIT-0446A.

Description. During the performance of monthly operations TS surveillance test MO-45,

Control Room Channel Checks, on June 21, 2015, LIT-0446B, the B containment LIT,

was found to be indicating below the acceptance criteria minimum required value. The

transmitter was declared inoperable in accordance with TS 3.3.7, Post Accident

Monitoring, since the accuracy over the entire level span of the instrument was

considered degraded such that it could no longer perform its function to accurately

monitor containment water level as specified by Regulatory Guide 1.97. These

containment LITs are relied upon in the plants emergency operating procedures to

ensure adequate net positive suction head for emergency core cooling system (ECCS)

pumps following receipt of a recirculation actuation signal (RAS).

10

On July 16, 2015, further troubleshooting was conducted and determined that the

electrolytic capacitor within the transmitters converter module failed and the most likely

cause of the capacitor failure was operation beyond the components service life since

the LITs had been in service for greater than 10 years. Entergy subsequently submitted

letter PNP 2015-058 to the NRC on August 3, 2015, reporting this information as

required by TS 5.6.6. This specification states that if post-accident monitoring

instrumentation is inoperable, a preplanned alternate method of monitoring, the cause of

the inoperability, and the schedule for restoring the inoperable instrument to an operable

status shall be submitted in a report to the NRC.

The resident inspectors asked follow-up questions associated with industry operating

experience and the preventive maintenance program for these transmitters. These LITs

were replaced on an as-required basis (no preventive maintenance frequency) and

were classified as non-critical components in the licensees maintenance program.

However, industry operating experience and Electric Power Research Institute guidance

was found by the inspectors that indicated electrolytic capacitors have a specified

lifespan based on operating conditions and applications. The NRC issued Information

Notice (IN) 2012-11, Age-Related Capacitor Degradation, in July 2012, which also

informed licensees of problems that involved the age-related degradation of capacitors.

The licensee documented a review of this IN in CR-PLP-2012-5721. However, the

licensees preventive maintenance interval review of this operating experience only

considered electrolytic capacitors that were classified as critical components in their

maintenance rule program. The capacitors which were identified during this review were

scheduled for, at most, 10 year replacement intervals. The licensee potentially missed

the opportunity to establish a replacement program for these transmitters at that time. In

addition to entering this issue into their CAP as CR-PLP-2015-04972, the licensee

replaced the failed components and planned to develop a replacement schedule for

non-critical, safety-related electrolytic capacitors.

Analysis. The inspectors determined that the failure to review for suitability of

application of the safety-related electrolytic capacitors in the containment floor LITs,

which were installed beyond their recommended service life, was contrary to

10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion III, Design Control, and was a performance

deficiency.

The inspectors determined that the performance deficiency was more than minor in

accordance with Inspection Manual Chapter (IMC) 0612 "Power Reactor Inspection

Reports," Appendix B, "Issue Screening," dated September 7, 2012, because the

performance deficiency was associated with the Equipment Performance attribute of the

Mitigating Systems cornerstone and adversely affected the cornerstone objective of

ensuring the availability, reliability, and capability of systems that respond to initiating

events to prevent undesirable consequences (i.e., core damage). The containment

water LITs are relied upon in the plants emergency operating procedures to ensure

adequate net positive suction head for ECCS pumps following a RAS. The finding was

screened in accordance with IMC 0609, Appendix A, The Significance Determination

Process for Findings At-Power, Exhibit 1, Mitigating Systems Screening Questions,

dated July 1, 2012. The finding screened as having very low safety significance

(i.e., Green) based on answering No to all the screening questions under the Mitigating

SSCs and Functionality section of IMC 0609, Appendix A, Exhibit 1.

11

The finding had a cross-cutting aspect of Operating Experience in the Problem

Identification and Resolution cross-cutting area since the licensee did not effectively and

thoroughly evaluate and implement relevant industry operating experience and guidance

for age-related electrolytic capacitor degradation [P.5].

Enforcement. 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion III, Design Control, requires, in part,

that measures shall be established for the selection and review for suitability of

application of materials, parts, equipment, and processes that are essential to the

safety-related functions of SSCs.

Contrary to the above, as of June 21, 2015, the licensee failed to review for suitability of

application of parts essential to the safety-related functions of the containment floor level

indicating system. Specifically, the licensee did not review for suitability of application of

safety-related electrolytic capacitors in the containment floor LITs that were installed

beyond their recommended service life to justify their continued service considering

in-service deterioration. As part of their immediate corrective actions, the licensee

replaced the failed components. Because this violation was of very low safety

significance and it was entered into the licensees CAP as CR-PLP-2015-04972, it is

being treated as an NCV, consistent with Section 2.3.2 of the NRC Enforcement Policy.

(NCV 05000255/2015003-01 Failure to Justify Continued Service of Safety-Related

Electrolytic Capacitors Installed Beyond Their Service Life)

.2 Review of Operator Workarounds

a. Inspection Scope

Operator workarounds are operator actions taken to compensate for degraded or

non-conforming conditions. Operator workarounds that cannot be implemented

effectively can contribute to an increase in overall plant risk. The inspectors verified that

the licensee was identifying operator workarounds at an appropriate threshold, entering

them into their CAP, and had planned or taken appropriate corrective actions. As part of

their review, the inspectors considered all existing plant conditions and the cumulative

impact of all operator workarounds.

The inspectors evaluated the licensee's operator workarounds to determine if any

mitigating system functions were adversely impacted. Additionally, the inspectors

assessed whether or not the operator workarounds had adversely impacted the

operators ability to implement abnormal or emergency operating procedures. The

inspectors placed particular emphasis on any operator workarounds that had not been

effectively evaluated by the licensee; that had been formalized or proceduralized as the

long-term corrective actions for a degraded or nonconforming condition; and that may

have increased the potential for human error, such as operator workarounds that:

  • Required operations that were not consistent with current training and system

knowledge;

  • Required a change from long-standing operational practices;
  • Required operation of a system or component in a manner that was inconsistent

with similar systems or components;

  • Created the potential for the compensatory action to be performed on equipment

or under conditions for which it was not appropriate;

12

  • Impaired access to required indications, increased dependence on oral

communications, or impacted the timeliness of time-critical event mitigating

actions under adverse environmental conditions;

  • Required the use of equipment and interfaces that had not been designed with

consideration of the task being performed;

  • Required the licensee to assess and manage an increase in risk; or
  • Required a license amendment in accordance with 10 CFR 50.59, but were

implemented without an approved amendment.

Documents reviewed are listed in the Attachment to this report. These activities by the

inspectors constituted a single operator workarounds review inspection sample as

required by IP 71111.15, Section 02.01(a).

b. Findings

No findings were identified.

1R19 Post-Maintenance Testing (71111.19)

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors reviewed the following post-maintenance testing activities to verify that

procedures and testing activities were adequate to ensure system operability and

functional capability:

  • CVCO-4, pump testing, following C charging pump bladder replacement;
  • MI-43, instrument calibration, following replacement of the reactor vessel level

indicating system power supply;

  • valve testing following repairs to the charging system surge tank vent valve; and
  • diagnostic and stroke testing of service water control valves replaced on the

CCW heat exchanger during RFO 1R24.

These activities were selected based upon the SSCs ability to impact risk. The

inspectors evaluated these activities for the following (as applicable): the effect of

testing on the plant had been adequately addressed; testing was adequate for the

maintenance performed; acceptance criteria were clear and demonstrated operational

readiness; test instrumentation was appropriate; tests were performed as written in

accordance with properly reviewed and approved procedures; equipment was returned

to its operational status following testing (temporary modifications or jumpers required

for test performance were properly removed after test completion); and test

documentation was properly evaluated. The inspectors evaluated the activities against

TSs, the UFSAR, 10 CFR Part 50 requirements, licensee procedures, and various

NRC generic communications to ensure that the test results adequately ensured that the

equipment met the licensing basis and design requirements. In addition, the inspectors

reviewed corrective action documents associated with post-maintenance tests to

determine whether the licensee was identifying problems and entering them in the CAP

and that the problems were being corrected commensurate with their importance to

safety. Documents reviewed are listed in the Attachment to this report.

This inspection constituted four post-maintenance testing samples as defined in

IP 71111.19-05.

13

b. Findings

No findings were identified.

1R20 Outage Activities (71111.20)

.1 Refueling Outage Activities

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors evaluated outage activities for RFO 24 (RFO 1R24) that began on

September 16, 2015, and continued through the end of the assessment period. The

RFO began when the reactor tripped following a turbine trip due to a digital

electrohydraulic control system failure on September 16, 2015. The licensee continued

the plant shutdown to cold shutdown conditions to begin the RFO.

The inspectors reviewed the Outage Risk Assessment (ORAT) and contingency plans

for 1R24, prior to the shutdown, to confirm that the licensee had appropriately

considered risk, industry operating experience, and previous site-specific problems in

developing and implementing a plan that assured maintenance of defense-in-depth.

During the RFO, the inspectors observed portions of the shutdown and cooldown

processes and monitored licensee controls over the RFO activities listed below:

  • licensee configuration management, including maintenance of defense-in-depth

commensurate with the ORAT for key safety functions and compliance with the

applicable TSs when taking equipment out of service;

  • implementation of clearance activities and confirmation that tags were properly

hung and equipment appropriately configured to safely support the work or

testing;

  • installation and configuration of primary coolant pressure, level, and temperature

instruments to provide accurate indication, accounting for instrument error;

  • controls over the status and configuration of electrical systems to ensure that

TS and ORAT requirements were met, and controls over switchyard activities;

  • controls to ensure that RFO work was not impacting the ability of the operators to

operate the spent fuel pool cooling system;

alternative means for inventory addition, and controls to prevent inventory loss;

  • controls over activities that could affect reactivity;
  • licensee fatigue management, as required by 10 CFR 26, Subpart I; and
  • licensee identification and resolution of problems related to RFO activities.

Documents reviewed are listed in the Attachment to this report. Since the RFO

extended into the fourth quarter of 2015, these activities do not count as an inspection

sample this quarter, but will be counted next quarter.

b. Findings

No findings were identified.

14

1R22 Surveillance Testing (71111.22)

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors reviewed the test results for the following activities to determine whether

risk-significant systems and equipment were capable of performing their intended safety

function and to verify testing was conducted in accordance with applicable procedural

and TS requirements:

  • RI-99, left channel nuclear instrumentation calibration (routine);
  • EA-12, protective relay functional testing (routine);
  • local leak rate test of containment personnel air lock (routine);
  • PCS leak rate calculation (PCS leak detection);
  • RT-202, control room heating, ventilation, and air conditioning heat removal

capability testing (routine);

  • RT-8D, right train engineered safeguards system integrated test (routine);
  • RO-105, safety injection tank full flow inservice test (routine); and

valve).

The inspectors observed in-plant activities and reviewed procedures and associated

records to determine the following:

  • did preconditioning occur;
  • were the effects of the testing adequately addressed by control room personnel

or engineers prior to the commencement of the testing;

  • were acceptance criteria clearly stated, sufficient to demonstrate operational

readiness, and consistent with the system design basis;

  • was plant equipment calibration correct, accurate, and properly documented;
  • were as-left setpoints within required ranges; and was the calibration frequency

in accordance with TSs, the UFSAR, plant procedures, and applicable

commitments;

  • was measuring and test equipment calibration current;
  • was the test equipment used within the required range and accuracy and were

applicable prerequisites described in the test procedures satisfied;

  • did test frequencies meet TS requirements to demonstrate operability and

reliability;

  • were tests performed in accordance with the test procedures and other

applicable procedures;

  • were jumpers and lifted leads controlled and restored where used;
  • were test data and results accurate, complete, within limits, and valid;
  • was test equipment removed following testing;
  • where applicable for inservice testing activities, was testing performed in

accordance with the applicable version of Section XI of the American Society of

Mechanical Engineers Code, and were reference values consistent with the

system design basis;

  • was the unavailability of the tested equipment appropriately considered in the

performance indicator (PI) data;

15

  • where applicable, were test results not meeting acceptance criteria addressed

with an adequate operability evaluation, or was the system or component

declared inoperable;

  • where applicable for safety-related instrument control surveillance tests, was the

reference setting data accurately incorporated into the test procedure;

  • was equipment returned to a position or status required to support the

performance of its safety function following testing;

  • were all problems identified during the testing appropriately documented and

dispositioned in the licensees CAP;

  • where applicable, were annunciators and other alarms demonstrated to be

functional and were annunciator and alarm setpoints consistent with design

documents; and

  • where applicable, were alarm response procedure entry points and actions

consistent with the plant design and licensing documents.

Documents reviewed are listed in the Attachment to this report. This inspection

constituted six routine surveillance testing samples, one in-service test sample, one

reactor coolant system leak detection inspection sample, and one containment isolation

valve sample as defined in IP 71111.22, Sections-02 and-05.

b. Findings

No findings were identified.

1EP6 Drill Evaluation (71114.06)

.1 Emergency Preparedness Drill Observation

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors evaluated the conduct of a routine licensee emergency drill on

August 26, 2015, to identify any weaknesses and deficiencies in classification,

notification, and protective action recommendation development activities. The

inspectors observed emergency response operations in the emergency operations

facility, technical support center, and the control room simulator to determine whether

the event classification, notifications, and protective action recommendations were

performed in accordance with procedures. The inspectors also attended the licensee

drill critique to compare any inspector-observed weakness with those identified by the

licensee staff in order to evaluate the critique and to verify whether the licensee staff was

properly identifying weaknesses and entering them into the CAP. As part of the

inspection, the inspectors reviewed the drill package and other documents listed in the

Attachment to this report.

This emergency preparedness drill inspection constituted one sample as defined in

IP 71114.06-06.

b. Findings

No findings were identified.

16

2. RADIATION SAFETY

2RS6 Radioactive Gaseous and Liquid Effluent Treatment (71124.06)

This inspection constituted one complete sample as defined in IP 71124.06-05.

.1 Inspection Planning and Program Reviews (02.01)

Event Report and Effluent Report Reviews

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors reviewed the Radiological Effluent Release Reports issued since the last

inspection to determine if the reports were submitted as required by the Offsite Dose

Calculation Manual (ODCM)/TSs. The inspectors reviewed anomalous results,

unexpected trends, or abnormal releases identified by the licensee for further inspection

to determine if they were evaluated, were entered in the CAP, and were adequately

resolved.

The inspectors selected radioactive effluent monitor operability issues reported by the

licensee as provided in effluent release reports, to review these issues during the onsite

inspection, as warranted, given their relative significance, and determine if the issues

were entered into the CAP and adequately resolved.

b. Findings

No findings were identified.

Offsite Dose Calculation Manual and Final Safety Analysis Report Review

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors reviewed UFSAR descriptions of the radioactive effluent monitoring

systems, treatment systems, and effluent flow paths so they could be evaluated during

inspection walkdowns.

The inspectors reviewed changes to the ODCM made by the licensee since the last

inspection against the guidance in NUREG-1301, 1302, and 0133, and Regulatory

Guides 1.109, 1.21, and 4.1. When differences were identified, the inspectors reviewed

the technical basis or evaluations of the change during the onsite inspection to

determine whether they were technically justified and maintain effluent releases

as-low-as-reasonably-achievable.

The inspectors reviewed licensee documentation to determine if the licensee has

identified any non-radioactive systems that have become contaminated as disclosed

either through an event report or the ODCM since the last inspection. This review

provided an intelligent sample list for the onsite inspection of any 10 CFR 50.59

evaluations, and allowed a determination if any newly contaminated systems have an

unmonitored effluent discharge path to the environment, whether any required ODCM

revisions were made to incorporate these new pathways, and whether the associated

effluents were reported in accordance with Regulatory Guide 1.21.

17

b. Findings

No findings were identified.

Groundwater Protection Initiative Program

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors reviewed reported groundwater monitoring results and changes to the

licensees written program for identifying and controlling contaminated spills/leaks to

groundwater.

b. Findings

No findings were identified.

Procedures, Special Reports, and Other Documents

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors reviewed Licensee Event Reports, event reports, and/or special reports

related to the Effluent Program issued since the previous inspection to identify any

additional focus areas for the inspection based on the scope/breadth of problems

described in these reports.

The inspectors reviewed the Effluent Program implementing procedures, particularly

those associated with effluent sampling, effluent monitor set-point determinations, and

dose calculations.

The inspectors reviewed copies of licensee and third party (independent) evaluation

reports of the Effluent Monitoring Program since the last inspection to gather insights

into the licensees program, and aid in selecting areas for inspection review (smart

sampling).

b. Findings

No findings were identified.

.2 Walkdowns and Observations (02.02)

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors walked down selected components of the gaseous and liquid discharge

systems to evaluate whether equipment configuration and flow paths align with the

documents reviewed in 02.01 above, and to assess equipment material condition.

Special attention was made to identify potential unmonitored release points (such as

open roof vents in boiling water reactor turbine decks, temporary structures butted

against turbine, auxiliary or containment buildings), building alterations which could

impact airborne, or liquid effluent controls, and ventilation system leakage that

communicates directly with the environment.

18

For equipment or areas associated with the systems selected for review that were not

readily accessible due to radiological conditions, the inspectors reviewed the licensee's

material condition surveillance records, as applicable.

The inspectors walked down filtered ventilation systems to assess for conditions such as

degraded high-efficiency particulate air/charcoal banks, improper alignment, or system

installation issues that would impact the performance or the effluent monitoring capability

of the effluent system.

As available, the inspectors observed selected portions of the routine processing and

discharge of radioactive gaseous effluent (including sample collection and analysis) to

evaluate whether appropriate treatment equipment was used, and the processing

activities align with discharge permits.

The inspectors determined if the licensee had made significant changes to their effluent

release points (e.g., changes subject to a 10 CFR 50.59 review, or require NRC

approval of alternate discharge points).

As available, the inspectors observed selected portions of the routine processing and

discharging of liquid waste (including sample collection and analysis) to determine if

appropriate effluent treatment equipment was being used, and that radioactive liquid

waste was being processed and discharged in accordance with procedure requirements

and aligned with discharge permits.

b. Findings

No findings were identified.

.3 Sampling and Analyses (02.03)

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors selected effluent sampling activities, consistent with smart sampling, and

assessed whether adequate controls have been implemented to ensure representative

samples were obtained (e.g., provisions for sample line flushing, vessel recirculation,

composite samplers, etc.).

The inspectors selected effluent discharges made with inoperable (declared

out-of-service) effluent radiation monitors to assess whether controls were in place to

ensure compensatory sampling was performed consistent with the radiological effluent

TSs/ODCM, and that those controls were adequate to prevent the release of

unmonitored liquid and gaseous effluents.

The inspectors determined whether the facility was routinely relying on the use of

compensatory sampling in lieu of adequate system maintenance, based on the

frequency of compensatory sampling since the last inspection.

The inspectors reviewed the results of the Inter-Laboratory Comparison Program to

evaluate the quality of the radioactive effluent sample analyses, and assessed whether

the Inter-Laboratory Comparison Program included hard-to-detect isotopes as

appropriate.

19

b. Findings

No findings were identified.

.4 Instrumentation and Equipment (02.04)

Effluent Flow Measuring Instruments

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors reviewed the methodology the licensee used to determine the effluent

stack and vent flow rates to determine if the flow rates were consistent with radiological

effluent TSs/ODCM or UFSAR values, and that differences between assumed and

actual stack, and vent flow rates did not affect the results of the projected public doses.

b. Findings

No findings were identified.

Air Cleaning Systems

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors assessed whether surveillance test results since the previous inspection

for TS required ventilation effluent discharge systems (high-efficiency particulate air and

charcoal filtration), such as the Standby Gas Treatment System, and the Containment/

Auxiliary Building Ventilation System, met TS acceptance criteria.

b. Findings

No findings were identified.

.5 Dose Calculations (02.05)

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors reviewed all significant changes in reported dose values compared to the

previous Radiological Effluent Release Report (e.g., a factor of five, or increases that

approach Appendix I criteria) to evaluate the factors, which may have resulted in the

change.

The inspectors reviewed radioactive liquid and gaseous waste discharge permits to

assess whether the projected doses to members of the public were accurate and based

on representative samples of the discharge path.

The inspectors evaluated the methods used to determine the isotopes that are included

in the source term to ensure all applicable radionuclides are included within detectability

standards. The review included the current Part 61 analyses to ensure hard-to-detect

radionuclides are included in the source term.

The inspectors reviewed changes in the licensees offsite dose calculations since the

last inspection to evaluate whether changes were consistent with the ODCM and,

Regulatory Guide 1.109. Inspectors reviewed meteorological dispersion and deposition

20

factors used in the ODCM and effluent dose calculations to evaluate whether

appropriate factors were being used for public dose calculations.

The inspectors reviewed the latest Land Use Census to assess whether changes

(e.g., significant increases or decreases to population in the plant environs, changes

in critical exposure pathways, the location of nearest member of the public, or critical

receptor, etc.) have been factored into the dose calculations.

For the releases reviewed above, the inspectors evaluated whether the calculated doses

(monthly, quarterly, and annual dose) were within the 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix I, and

TS dose criteria.

The inspectors reviewed, as available, records of any abnormal gaseous or liquid tank

discharges (e.g., discharges resulting from misaligned valves, valve leak-by, etc.) to

ensure the abnormal discharge was monitored by the discharge point effluent monitor.

Discharges made with inoperable effluent radiation monitors, or unmonitored leakages

were reviewed to ensure that an evaluation was made of the discharge to satisfy

10 CFR 20.1501 so as to account for the source term and projected doses to the public.

b. Findings

Introduction: The inspectors identified a finding of very low safety significance (Green)

and an associated NCV of TS 5.5.1, Offsite Dose Calculation Manual, for the failure to

establish, implement, and maintain the ODCM relative to dose calculation parameters.

Specifically, the licensee failed to modify the parameters used in public radiation

calculations when changes in the use of unrestricted areas were identified.

Description: The NRC requires that the licensee identify changes in the use of

unrestricted areas to permit modifications in monitoring programs for evaluating doses to

individuals from principal pathways of exposure. This was described as the Land Use

Census, in the ODCM.

The licensee completed the land use census in September/October 2014 using licensee

procedure CH 6.41 Land Use Census. The procedure also directed that any changes

to critical receptors or X/Q values that modify offsite dose calculations due to the land

use census be effective January 1 of the year following the land use census. Although

this was normal and expected, the new and sometimes more restrictive values were not

transferred to the offsite dose calculation software, GASPAR. As a result, the quarterly

and annual doses that were calculated every 31 days, as required by the ODCM, were

incorrect and non-conservative.

Discussions with the licensee revealed that the Radiological Effluent Technical

Specification (RETS) Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program (REMP) Specialist

assumed the duties and responsibilities of this position in November 2014; months after

the previous RETS-REMP Specialist had left the organization. The new individual was

aware that the land use census had been completed, but did not realize the results were

not incorporated into the program for evaluating doses to individuals from principal

pathways of exposure. As part of their immediate corrective actions, the licensee

entered this issue into their CAP as CR-2015-2972 and recalculated the dose using the

correct calculation parameters.

21

Analysis: The inspectors determined that the failure to establish, implement, and

maintain the dose calculation parameters of the ODCM was not in accordance with

TS 5.5.1, and was a performance deficiency.

The inspectors determined that the performance deficiency was more than minor

because it was associated with the Program and Process attribute of the Public

Radiation Safety cornerstone and adversely affected the cornerstone objective of

ensuring the adequate protection of public health and safety from exposure to

radioactive materials released into the public domain as a result of routine civilian

nuclear reactor operation. Specifically, the non-conservative calculation of dose to

members of the public impeded the ability to provide adequate protection of public health

and safety from exposure to radioactive materials released into the public domain as a

result of routine civilian nuclear reactor operations. The finding was assessed using

IMC 0609, Appendix D, Public Radiation Safety Significance Determination Process,

and was determined to be of very low safety significance (Green) because the issue did

not represent a significant deficiency in evaluating a planned or unplanned effluent

release since the resulting dose was not grossly underestimated.

As described above, the cause for this failure was attributed to the lack of turnover to the

new program owner from the previous program owner. As a result, the finding had a

cross-cutting aspect of Training in the Human Performance cross-cutting area because

the licensee did not ensure adequate knowledge transfer to maintain a knowledgeable,

technically competent workforce. (H.9).

Enforcement: TS 5.5.1, Offsite Dose Calculation Manual, requires the licensee to

establish, implement, and maintain the ODCM. ODCM,Section I.B, required dose rates

to be calculated for: (1) noble gases and (2) iodines and particulates. Dose rates as

defined in this section are based on 10 CFR 50, Appendix I, limits of millirem per quarter

and millirem per year. All dose pathways of major importance in the Palisades Nuclear

Plant environs are considered, and are to be evaluated at the offsite exposure points

where maximum concentrations are expected to exist (overland sector site boundaries)

and nearest residents.

Contrary to the above, between January 1 and July 16, 2015, the licensee failed to

calculate the dose rates from noble gases, iodines, and particulates to the nearest

resident. As part of their immediate corrective actions, the licensee recalculated the

dose using the correct calculation parameters. Because this violation was of very low

safety significance and was entered into the licensees CAP as CR-2015-2972, this

violation is being treated as an NCV, consistent with Section 2.3.2.a of the NRC

Enforcement Policy. (NCV 05000255/2015003-02, Failure to Establish, Implement,

and Maintain the ODCM Relative to Dose Calculation Parameters)

.6 Groundwater Protection Initiative Implementation (02.06)

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors reviewed monitoring results of the Groundwater Protection Initiative to

determine if the licensee had implemented its program as intended, and to identify any

anomalous results. For anomalous results or missed samples, the inspectors assessed

whether the licensee had identified and addressed deficiencies through its CAP.

The inspectors reviewed identified leakage or spill events and entries made into

10 CFR 50.75(g) records. The inspectors reviewed evaluations of leaks or spills and

reviewed any remediation actions taken for effectiveness. The inspectors reviewed

onsite contamination events involving contamination of ground water and assessed

whether the source of the leak or spill was identified and mitigated.

For unmonitored spills, leaks, or unexpected liquid or gaseous discharges, the

inspectors assessed whether an evaluation was performed to determine the type and

amount of radioactive material that was discharged by:

  • assessing whether sufficient radiological surveys were performed to evaluate the

extent of the contamination and the radiological source term and assessing

whether a survey/evaluation had been performed to include consideration of

hard-to-detect radionuclides; and

  • determining whether the licensee completed offsite notifications, as provided in

its Groundwater Protection Initiative implementing procedures.

The inspectors reviewed the evaluation of discharges from onsite surface water bodies

that contained or potentially contained radioactivity, and the potential for groundwater

leakage from these onsite surface water bodies. The inspectors assessed whether the

licensee was properly accounting for discharges from these surface water bodies as part

of their Effluent Release Reports.

The inspectors assessed whether onsite groundwater sample results and a description

of any significant onsite leaks/spills into groundwater for each calendar year were

documented in the Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report for the REMP,

or the Annual Radiological Effluent Release Report for the RETS.

For significant, new effluent discharge points (such as significant or continuing leakage

to groundwater that continues to impact the environment if not remediated), the

inspectors evaluated whether the ODCM was updated to include the new release point.

b. Findings

No findings were identified.

.7 Problem Identification and Resolution (02.07)

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors assessed whether problems associated with the Effluent Monitoring and

Control Program were being identified by the licensee at an appropriate threshold, and

23

were properly addressed for resolution in the licensee CAP. In addition, the inspectors

evaluated the appropriateness of the corrective actions for a selected sample of

problems documented by the licensee involving radiation monitoring and exposure

controls.

b. Findings

No findings were identified.

determine the accuracy of the PI data reported during those periods, PI definitions and

guidance contained in NEI 99-02, Regulatory Assessment Performance Indicator

Guideline, Revision 7, dated August 31, 2013, were used. The inspectors reviewed the

licensees operator logs, Reactor Coolant System leakage tracking data, CRs, event

reports, and NRC Integrated IRs for the period of the fourth quarter 2014 through the

second quarter 2015 to validate the accuracy of the submittals. The inspectors also

reviewed the licensees CR database to determine if any problems had been identified

25

with the PI data collected or transmitted for this indicator. Documents reviewed are

listed in the Attachment to this report.

This inspection constituted one reactor coolant system leakage sample as defined in

IP 71151-05.

b. Findings

No findings were identified.

.5 Occupational Exposure Control Effectiveness

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors sampled licensee submittals for the Occupational Exposure Control

Effectiveness PI for the period from the second quarter 2014 through the second

quarter 2015. The inspectors used PI definitions and guidance contained in NEI 99-02,

Regulatory Assessment Performance Indicator Guideline, Revision 7, dated

August 2013, to determine the accuracy of the PI data reported during those periods.

The inspectors reviewed the licensees assessment of the PI for occupational radiation

safety to determine if indicator related data was adequately assessed and reported. To

assess the adequacy of the licensees PI data collection and analyses, the inspectors

discussed with radiation protection staff, the scope and breadth of its data review and

the results of those reviews. The inspectors independently reviewed electronic personal

dosimetry dose rate and accumulated dose alarms and dose reports, and the dose

assignments for any intakes that occurred during the time period reviewed to determine

if there were potentially unrecognized occurrences. The inspectors also conducted

walkdowns of numerous locked high and very high radiation area entrances to determine

the adequacy of the controls in place for these areas. Documents reviewed are listed in

the Attachment to this report.

This inspection constituted one occupational exposure control effectiveness sample as

defined in IP 71151-05.

b. Findings

No findings were identified.

.6 Radiological Effluent Technical Specification/Offsite Dose Calculation Manual

Radiological Effluent Occurrences

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors sampled licensee submittals for the RETS/ODCM radiological effluent

occurrences PI for the period from the third quarter 2014 through the second

quarter 2015. The inspectors used PI definitions and guidance contained in NEI 99-02,

Regulatory Assessment Performance Indicator Guideline, Revision 7, dated

August 2013, to determine the accuracy of the PI data reported during those periods.

The inspectors reviewed the licensees CR database and selected individual reports

generated since this indicator was last reviewed to identify any potential occurrences

such as unmonitored, uncontrolled, or improperly calculated effluent releases that may

have impacted offsite dose. The inspectors reviewed gaseous effluent summary data

26

and the results of associated offsite dose calculations for selected dates to determine if

indicator results were accurately reported. The inspectors also reviewed the licensees

methods for quantifying gaseous and liquid effluents and determining effluent dose.

Documents reviewed are listed in the Attachment to this report.

This inspection constituted one RETS/ODCM radiological effluent occurrences sample

as defined in IP 71151-05.

b. Findings

No findings were identified.

4OA2 Identification and Resolution of Problems (71152)

.1 Routine Review of Items Entered into the Corrective Action Program

a. Inspection Scope

As part of the various baseline IPs discussed in previous sections of this report, the

inspectors routinely reviewed issues during baseline inspection activities and plant

status reviews to verify they were being entered into the licensees CAP at an

appropriate threshold, that adequate attention was being given to timely corrective

actions, and that adverse trends were identified and addressed. Attributes reviewed

included: identification of the problem was complete and accurate; timeliness was

commensurate with the safety significance; evaluation and disposition of performance

issues, generic implications, common causes, contributing factors, root causes,

extent-of-condition reviews, and previous occurrences reviews were proper and

adequate; and that the classification, prioritization, focus, and timeliness of corrective

actions were commensurate with safety and sufficient to prevent recurrence of the issue.

Minor issues entered into the licensees CAP as a result of the inspectors observations

are included in the Attachment to this report.

These routine reviews for the identification and resolution of problems did not constitute

any additional inspection samples. Instead, by procedure they were considered an

integral part of the inspections performed during the quarter and documented in

Section 1 of this report.

b. Findings

No findings were identified.

.2 Daily Corrective Action Program Reviews

a. Inspection Scope

In order to assist with the identification of repetitive equipment failures and specific

human performance issues for follow-up, the inspectors performed a daily screening of

items entered into the licensees CAP. This review was accomplished through

inspection of the stations daily CR packages.

These daily reviews were performed by procedure as part of the inspectors daily plant

status monitoring activities and, as such, did not constitute any separate inspection

samples.

27

b. Findings

No findings were identified.

4OA3 Follow-Up of Events and Notices of Enforcement Discretion (71153)

.1 Event Notification for Spill of Sewage from Chemical Toilet

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors reviewed the plants response to an Event Notification for a Spill of

Sewage from a Chemical Toilet on July 13, 2015. The inspectors reviewed the

licensees actions to assess and report the spill. The spill occurred during a rainstorm

with high winds which caused the chemical toilet to tip over and spill. The spill had no

impact on plant operations. The inspectors also reviewed the Material Safety Data

Sheet for the chemicals involved and the licensees notifications of government agencies

to validate appropriate actions were taken and notifications were made. Documents

reviewed are listed in the Attachment to this report.

This event follow-up review constituted one sample as defined in IP 71153-05.

b. Findings

No findings were identified.

4OA5 Other Activities

.1 Contingency Plans for Licensee Strikes or Lockouts (IP 92709)

a. Inspection Scope

The United Government Security Officers of America Local 29 contract ended on

July 1, 2015. The contract was extended multiple times past this date to continue

negotiations between the licensee and union officials. Prior to the extended contract end

date of August 21, 2015, the resident inspectors and Region III security specialists

developed a strike/lockout contingency plan. The inspectors reviewed the licensees

strike/lockout preparations, including staffing and training. A verbal agreement was

reached between the union and Entergy on August 21, 2015, and was ratified on

August 24, 2015, without a strike/lockout. These activities constituted one sample as

defined in IP 92709.

b. Findings

No findings were identified.

4OA6 Management Meetings

.1 Exit Meeting Summary

On October 29, 2015, the inspectors presented the inspection results to Mr. A. Vitale,
