| j u Z
| | conditions. The technicians discovered the isolation valves for the upper range pressure transmitters to be closed on both channels rendering them inoperable. The RVLIS channels were required to be operable when the unit entered mode 3 on June 2, 198 q System Description The Reactor Vessel Level Instrumentation System (RVLIS) is a standard Westinghouse design for Upper Head Injection (UHI) reactors and uses differential pressure (dp) transmitters to measure reactor vessel level or relative void content of the Reactor Coolant (NC) System. RVLIS includes .j two redundant QA Condition 1 channels powered frora Class 1E busses. Each i channel consists of three dp transmitters and associated equipment to measure the pressure differential from the bottom of the reactor vessel to-the top of the reactor vessel. The transmitters correspond to three ranges of indication to cover operation under various cor.binations of forced or natcral circulation. The ranges are termed dynamic head, lower range and upper rang ' |

An 18 month calibration of both channels of the RVLIS System had been completed under work Request 5992 SWR, using IP/2/A/3122/02, System Calibration Procedure For Inadequate Core Cooling Monitor External Analog Transmitters. The ; |
| | ' |
| | system lineup was completed and both channels were declared operable. The unit entered mode 4 on May 21, however, exc'essive reactor coolant (NC) |
| | pump seal leakoff on NC pump 2D indicated a problem with the number one seal and the licensee was forced to return the unit to mode 5, drain the NC system and repair the seal. In order to vent the reactor vessel head it was decided to disconnect.the RVLIS tubing from 2NC279, RVLIS Isolation Valve, on the head and use that valve as a vent. Work Request 5345 SWR was generated to isolate RVLIS using portions of IP/2/A/3122/0 . |

| | isolation valves, associated with each channel and disconnecting the tubing from 2NC27 On May 28, the licensee completed work on_the NC pump l seal and the reactor coolant system was. ready to be filled. Two IAE technicians on the night shift were assigned the job of. restoring the ' |
| ..
| | RVLIS system and closing the work request. Using the same procedure which had been tailored for the specific job by N/Aing non-applicable steps, the technicians reconnected the tubing and opened the sensor bellows isolation valves. The technicians, however, failed to open the Magnex isolation valves. Later on May 28, the post maintenance test was performed which consisted of only visual inspection of the tubing for leaks. A verifica-tion of RVLIS operability was not performe On June 1 in preparation for Mode 3, operations personnel completed ! |
| .
| | PT/2/A/4600/03A, Monthly Surveillance Items. Included as Step 18 on enclosure 13.4 is the monthly channel check on the RVLIS channels required by Technical Specification 4.3.3.6. The acceptance criteria requires "two operable channels reading within +/- 3% of the expected value for existing i pump combination and reactor power level (refer to Unit 2 Data Book)." It should be noted that with the reactor coolant pumps on only the dynamic range of RVLIS provides a valid indication in the control room. The surveillance was performed and no discrepancies were note On June 2 at 12:43 a.m. Unit 2 entered mode 3 at which time Technical Specification 3.3.3.6 required both channels and a minimum of I channel of RVLIS to be operable. While both channels' lower range and dynamic head were operable, both channels of upper range were inoperable since the associated Magnex valves were isolated. The unit subsequently entered mode 1 and increa, sed power to 100%. |

At 11:30 a.m. both channels of RVLIS were declared inoperable by the Shift Supervisor and the unit was placed in the 48 hour action statement of TS 3.3.3.6. The Shift Supervisor directed the IAE technicians to return the channels to an operable status. The Magnex valve for channel B was opened and the channel was declared operable at 1:00 p.m.. However, due to the pressure differential across the ball valve, Channel A Magnex Valve was stuck closed. After consulting with Westinghouse a special procedure was used and the Channel A valve was opened and declared operable at 5:08 , |

Use of Non Qualified Technicians It was determined that the technicians assigned to restore the RVLIS system on May 28, were not qualified under the licensee's Employee Training and Qualifications System (ETQS) program to perform work on that syste CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion II, requires that the licensee provide training of personnel performing activities affecting quality as necessary to assure suitable proficiency is achieved and ' maintained. Duke Power Company Topical Report Quality Assurance Program, sections 17. and 17.2.2 state that the qualifications of personnel are in accordance with Regulatory Guide 1.8. Personnel Selection and Training. Regulatory Guide 1.8 incorporates ANSI N18.1-1971 which requires a training program for maintenance personnel. The training program shall be such that fully trained and qualified personnel are available at the times required and shall be to ensure the safe and reliable operation of the plant. The licensee's ETQS program is established to meet this and other industry requirements. The program is such that once employees are qualified to tasks, they may perform related procedures without direct supervisio Task qualification is an independent evaluation of an employee's ability to perform all elements of a task. The qualification process utilizes j Training and Qualification Guides (T&Q) for establishing the prerequisites |

| Purpose:
| | 'The isolation portion of the procedure appeared to be acceptable, however, the restoration portion was inadequate as evidenced by the following: Section 10.9 of the procedure is used to restore the system back to an operational statu Step 10.9.2.H states "Open head sensor isolation valves".

| | N/A'd by the supervisor and since all other steps on that sheet were not applicable, the sheet was discarded. The licensee was unable to substantiate or refute this and was unable to produce the sheet in questio The licensee was also unable to determine if this step had been included as part of the restoration procedur Step 10.9.9 states "open all Magnex Isolation Valves for Train A and Train B". |

| | The supervisor had intended to N/A opening the Magnex valves for the dynamic head and lower range by drawing a line through the steps on the sign off sheet, writing "N/A" and initialing by the line, however, his initials crossed into the sign off steps for the upper 10.9.9 range Magnex was not Valves. This gave the appearance that all of step applicabl . |
| .
| | Since these two steps were required to adequately restore the system and the requirement to perform the steps had effectively been N/A'd, concluded that the procedure was inadequate and is identified asitanis apparent violation of Technical Specification 6. On May 28, the non qualified technicians attempted to restore the syste Having received instructions over the telephone they reconnected the tubing and opened the sensor bellows isolation valve The technicians apparently thought that step 10.9.9, requiring the Magnex valves to be opened, was not applicable due to the appearance that the step had been N/A'd. Under the " action taken" portion of the work request, they documented that they had " opened Magnex valves for 2NC6420 and 2NC6390". In fact they had only opened the sensor bellows valves and not the Magnex Valves. In summary it is hypothesized that this event probably occurred due to a combination of the following: The IAE technicians restoring the system vere not qualified on RVLIS and were not familiar with terms used in the procedure, The procedure as issued was inadequate in that: |

| | RVLIS work, states ."Have Work Supervisor review and mark N/A steps not i applicable 'to work being performed". There exists, however, no guidance on how to accomplish.this as there does in other. group The following inconsistencies were identified: One method to indicate non applicable steps is to line.through.the ; |

| | The performance group does not allow steps to be N/A'd, but, requires . |
| | a procedure chang The method of drawing one line through multiple sign offs appears to be inconsistent with an " attention to detail" approach towards maintenanc The lack of requirements for N/A'ing steps in IAE procedures and the_above inconsistencies comprise a weakness in the licensee's program for the use of procedures, a weakness which contributed to this even . ' Post Maintenance Testing Section VIII of Work Request 5345 SWR documented the Post Maintenance Test (PMT) for the RVLIS tubing isolation.

| | A functional verification is defined as one which demonstrates that a component will operate as designed. The licensee's policy is that an independent verification such as a valve lineup is an acceptable functional verification if it is reasonable to expect the system will be restored to an operable status. The maintenance activity itself, however, l must not be expected to degrade the system. In the case where an instrument is valved out and impulse lines disconnected, various scenarios ( |
| .
| | can be postulated such as crimp?d tubing, foreign material, inadequate fill and vent, etc. which would invalidate this type of functional verificatio Section 4.9.10 of MMP 1.0 provides guidance for performing functional ! |
| O I
| | verifications and states " instruments should be placed in operation and verified for correct reading on local and remote gauges". In that MMP requires a functional verification and that the one performed on RVLIS did not demonstrate that RVLIS would, "... operate as designed," it is ; |
| t Catawba Nuclear Station !
| | concluded that the post maintenance test was inadequate and is identified I as an apparent violation of Technical Specification 6.8.1, for failure to ' |
| System Expert Qualifications ' | | follow procedure, MMP The licensee's proposed corrective acti'on will ensure the walkdown of the RVLIS System using IP/2/A/3122/01 is performed after maintenance, however, the broader policy issue of functional verifications of instruments in general should be reviewe : Technical Specification Requirements Technical Specification 3.3.3.6 requires the accident monitoring instrumentation shown in Table 3.3-10 to be operable in modes 1, 2, and Table 3.3-10 specifies, for the Reactor Vessel Water Level Instruments-tion, the total number of channels as 2 and the minimum number of channels operable as The action statements specify: With the number of OPERABLE accident monitoring instrumentation channels less than the Total Number of Channels shown in Table 3.3-10, restore the inoperable channel (s) to OPERABLE status within 7 days, or be in at least HOT STANDBY within the next 6 hours and in HOT SHUTDOWN within the following 6 hour With the number of OPERABLE accident monitoring instrumentation channels less than the Minimum Channels OPERABLE requirements of Table 3.3-10, restore the inoperable channel (s) to OPERABLE status within 48 hours or be in at least HOT STANDBY within the next 6 hours and in HOT SHUTDOWN within the following 6 hour : |

| | The Technical Specification bases for accident monitoring instrumentation states: The OPERABILITY of the accident monitoring instrumentation ensures that sufficient information is available on selected plant parameters to monitor and assess these variables- following an acciden This capability is consistent with the recommendations of Regulatory Guide 1.97, Revision 3, " Instrumentation for Light-Water-Cooled Nuclear Power Plants to Assecs Plant Conditions During and Following an Accident," May 1983 and NUREG 0737, " Clarification of TMI Action Plan Requirements," |
| . .
| | November 198 The RVLIS requirements stem from NUREG 0737 Item II.F.2, Instrumentation For Detection of Inadequate Core Cooling which states: The indication of ICC must be unambiguous in that it should have the following properties: It must indicate the existence of inadequate core cooling caused by various phenomena (i.e., high-void fraction pumped flow as well as stagnant boil-off); and, It must not erroneously indicate ICC because of the presence of an unrelated phenomeno The indication must give advanced warning of the approach of ICC. The indication must cover the full range from normal operations to complete core uncovery. For example, water-level instrumentation may be chosen to provide advanced warning of two phase level drop to the top of the core and could be supplemented by other indicators such as incore and core-exit thermocouple provided that the indicated temperatures can be correlated to provide indication of the existence of ICC and to infer the extent of core uncovery. Alternatively, full-range level instrumentation to the bottom of the core may be employed in conjunction with other diverse indicators such as core-exit thermocouple to preclude misinterpretation due to any inherent deficiencies or inaccuracies in the measurement system selecte Generic Letter 83-37, NUREG 0737 Technical Specifications, required the RVLIS system to be included in Technical Specifications and that the l system be used to provide indication of the approach to, the existence of, ! |

| The above referenced NSM's will modify the VP System controls such that all isolation val-ves can be electrically sealed closed during Modes 1 through 4 without the use of a TSM to remove power. The modification also provides for a time delay bypass of the high relative humidity isolation and trip function during startup of the VP Syste The functional that will be conducted as part ofimplementation procedures TNIA10450001A & 02A, and TN2A04320001A & 02A fully demonstrate the adequacy of the NSM to meet its intended purpose. The ability of the time delay relay to allow start of VP with a simulated high humidity for the required time intervalis tested along with the ability to start without a high humidity. In addition the new " BLOCK /CLOSE" function is verified to isolate all VP valves when placed in the required position. As an added as-surance that the required safety function of the affected circuits is not adversely altered, al-though the functional does test all such circuits, Performance will conduct IrTI(2)A420041C upon completion of the modi 5 cation prior to return to service. This is re-quired by the applicable TN Therefore, the proposed NSM implementation plan including functional and retests as out-lined above fully challenge the modification to function in both normal and design basis condition C

Since the upper and lower ranges indicate invalid'and off scale low in the control room with reactor coolant pumps on, channel checks on these are not performe A channel check is defined in Teche bei Specifications as the qualitative assessment of channel behavior during operation by observation. This is not being performed on the upper and lower ranges of RVLIS. This is identified as an apparent violation of TS 4.3. . Safety Significance In this event both channels of upper range RVLIS were isolated from June 2,1989 to June 16, 1989 while the reactor was operated in modes 1, 2, and '.

| | (if. <97%) to enter.EP/2/A/5000/2F3, Void in Reactor Vesse In the event of certain accidents with reactor coolant pumps off (Natural circulation cooldown, small to medium break LOCA, excessive cooldowns) and upper range RVLIS isolated, the coritrol room display would have erroneously indicated Channels A and B RVLIS at 94% and 99% respectively, regardless of actual level. Operators using the EPs would not have had adequate instrumentation available to detect a void in the head and to monitor the approach to inadequate core cooling. .The criteria, as set forth in several steps. of the EP's, for satisfying that no voids exist, is upper range RVLIS at greater than 97%. Assuming ' a single channel failure, operators would have been deceived into believing that no voids existed. This would have led to inadequate corrective actions to collapse the void or to premature restart of forced circulation and a subsequent loss of subcooling. The expected response for come actions in turn would not have been achievable. At the very least the above discussed inadequacies would have confused the operators and hampered accident recovery. Hact the inoperability been detected the ability to restore the instrumentation to service is questionable weighing the difficulty encountered by the licensee in opening the Magnex valve on June 1 , |

The licensee also states "A Technical Specification violation did not occur in this situation because the use of the dynamic head dp and lower range RVLIS scales can meet the requirements stated without reliance on the upper range scale." |

Technical Specifications to be reporte The LER also refers .to the McGuire Nuclear Station Technical Specifica- l tions which are different than Catawba's for the RVLIS system. The LER states that McGuire's basis for RVLIS does not require upper range. Th licensee, however, may not rely on the McGuire TS because they do not apply at Catawba. Additionally, the basis as stated in the McGuire TS has not been approved and is currently being reviewed by NRR. These items were discussed with the licensee.

- Attended exit intervie . Brief Summary of Event On June 16, 1989 the licensee was performing a routine monthly walkdown of the Unit 2 Reactor Vessel Level Instrumentation System (RVLIS). The unit was at ~ 100% power at the time. Technicians immediately recognized a problem when the Upper Range level on both channels indicated greater than j 90% instead of the expected value of less than 60% for the existing plant '
conditions. The technicians discovered the isolation valves for the upper range pressure transmitters to be closed on both channels rendering them inoperable. The RVLIS channels were required to be operable when the unit entered mode 3 on June 2, 198 q System Description The Reactor Vessel Level Instrumentation System (RVLIS) is a standard Westinghouse design for Upper Head Injection (UHI) reactors and uses differential pressure (dp) transmitters to measure reactor vessel level or relative void content of the Reactor Coolant (NC) System. RVLIS includes .j two redundant QA Condition 1 channels powered frora Class 1E busses. Each i channel consists of three dp transmitters and associated equipment to measure the pressure differential from the bottom of the reactor vessel to-the top of the reactor vessel. The transmitters correspond to three ranges of indication to cover operation under various cor.binations of forced or natcral circulation. The ranges are termed dynamic head, lower range and upper rang '

The dynamic head senses dp between the vessel bottom and the hot leg and provides indication on a display in the control room of 0-120% dp and is used when reactor coolant pumps are operating. The lower range also senses dp' between the vessel bottom and the ' hot leg and provides indication, from 0-70% vessel level and would be used during natural j circulation. .The upper range senses dp between the hot leg and the top of the vessel and provides indication from 60-120% vessel level and would also be used during natural. circulatio ,
During periods when reactor coolant pumps are operating, the upper and lower ranges indicate o.ff ' scale and invalid in the control room. If i reactor- coolant pumps are not running the dynamic head will indicate invali The equipment associated with each transmitter includes impulse tubing, temperature - detectors, in-containment sensor bellows units, out-of-containment hydraulic isolators and the necessary electronic processing and display instrumentatio The sensor bellows is provided with two in line instrument root valves located inside containment. The dp transmitters have Magnex isolation valves located outside containmen 'The Magnex valve is a packless ball valve, hermetically sealed to eliminate the possibility of stem leakage.

An 18 month calibration of both channels of the RVLIS System had been completed under work Request 5992 SWR, using IP/2/A/3122/02, System Calibration Procedure For Inadequate Core Cooling Monitor External Analog Transmitters. The ;
'
system lineup was completed and both channels were declared operable. The unit entered mode 4 on May 21, however, exc'essive reactor coolant (NC)
pump seal leakoff on NC pump 2D indicated a problem with the number one seal and the licensee was forced to return the unit to mode 5, drain the NC system and repair the seal. In order to vent the reactor vessel head it was decided to disconnect.the RVLIS tubing from 2NC279, RVLIS Isolation Valve, on the head and use that valve as a vent. Work Request 5345 SWR was generated to isolate RVLIS using portions of IP/2/A/3122/0 .

Since only the upper range RVLIS would be disconnected and rendered inoperable, the work supervisor N/A'd the non applicable steps of IP/2/A/3122/02. On May 25 the upper range of both channels was isolated by shutting the Magnex isolation valve and the two sensor bellows !
isolation valves, associated with each channel and disconnecting the tubing from 2NC27 On May 28, the licensee completed work on_the NC pump l seal and the reactor coolant system was. ready to be filled. Two IAE technicians on the night shift were assigned the job of. restoring the '
RVLIS system and closing the work request. Using the same procedure which had been tailored for the specific job by N/Aing non-applicable steps, the technicians reconnected the tubing and opened the sensor bellows isolation valves. The technicians, however, failed to open the Magnex isolation valves. Later on May 28, the post maintenance test was performed which consisted of only visual inspection of the tubing for leaks. A verifica-tion of RVLIS operability was not performe On June 1 in preparation for Mode 3, operations personnel completed !
PT/2/A/4600/03A, Monthly Surveillance Items. Included as Step 18 on enclosure 13.4 is the monthly channel check on the RVLIS channels required by Technical Specification 4.3.3.6. The acceptance criteria requires "two operable channels reading within +/- 3% of the expected value for existing i pump combination and reactor power level (refer to Unit 2 Data Book)." It should be noted that with the reactor coolant pumps on only the dynamic range of RVLIS provides a valid indication in the control room. The surveillance was performed and no discrepancies were note On June 2 at 12:43 a.m. Unit 2 entered mode 3 at which time Technical Specification 3.3.3.6 required both channels and a minimum of I channel of RVLIS to be operable. While both channels' lower range and dynamic head were operable, both channels of upper range were inoperable since the associated Magnex valves were isolated. The unit subsequently entered mode 1 and increa, sed power to 100%.
On June 16, IAE technicians were assigned to perform a monthly walkdown of the RLI S System under work request 6845 SWR using IP/2/A/3122/01, hadequate Core Cooling System Walkdown Checklist. The purpose of the procedure is to obtain monthly data for trending and/or analyzing of enssible system problems. The procedure is not intended to meet any NRC requirements or commitments. The walkdown includes a review of a l
" diagnostic page" on the control room display, monitoring hardware ambient temperature and cycling of the Magnex isolation valve While the technicians were performing the procedure, it became evident while viewing the diagnostic page that there was a problem with the RVLIS upper range Train A upper range indicated 94% and Train B indicated 99%, however, both should have read 60% (off scale low). The technicians determined the i

Magnex valves .were closed and informed appropriate personnel. At 11:30 a.m. both channels of RVLIS were declared inoperable by the Shift Supervisor and the unit was placed in the 48 hour5.555556e-4 days <br />0.0133 hours <br />7.936508e-5 weeks <br />1.8264e-5 months <br /> action statement of TS 3.3.3.6. The Shift Supervisor directed the IAE technicians to return the channels to an operable status. The Magnex valve for channel B was opened and the channel was declared operable at 1:00 p.m.. However, due to the pressure differential across the ball valve, Channel A Magnex Valve was stuck closed. After consulting with Westinghouse a special procedure was used and the Channel A valve was opened and declared operable at 5:08 ,
The licensee inspected the Magnex valves on Unit I and verified them to be ope . Use of Non Qualified Technicians It was determined that the technicians assigned to restore the RVLIS system on May 28, were not qualified under the licensee's Employee Training and Qualifications System (ETQS) program to perform work on that syste CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion II, requires that the licensee provide training of personnel performing activities affecting quality as necessary to assure suitable proficiency is achieved and ' maintained. Duke Power Company Topical Report Quality Assurance Program, sections 17. and 17.2.2 state that the qualifications of personnel are in accordance with Regulatory Guide 1.8. Personnel Selection and Training. Regulatory Guide 1.8 incorporates ANSI N18.1-1971 which requires a training program for maintenance personnel. The training program shall be such that fully trained and qualified personnel are available at the times required and shall be to ensure the safe and reliable operation of the plant. The licensee's ETQS program is established to meet this and other industry requirements. The program is such that once employees are qualified to tasks, they may perform related procedures without direct supervisio Task qualification is an independent evaluation of an employee's ability to perform all elements of a task. The qualification process utilizes j Training and Qualification Guides (T&Q) for establishing the prerequisites
,
and describing the qualification element l
{
t T&Q Guide for Task #IE-8936 provides the qualification requirements for work on The Inadequate Core Cooling Monitor (ICCM) which includes RVLI The task requires actual performance of IP/2/A/3122/02 under direct supervision of a qualified person and an explanation of procedural steps not actually performe l Section 902 of the ETQS manual requires that supervisors assign work only to qualified individuals or ensure that a qualified person is directing the work of a non qualified person to the extent required to ensure the l task is performed in a satisfactory manner. The supervisor failed to meet this requirement when assigning personnel to restore the RVLIS. The '
licensee's investigation determined that the supervisor knew the technicians were not qualified on RVLIS, but opted to allow them to

'
consult over the- telephone with a qualified technician. The supervisor l apparently elected to shortcut the process because he perceived the work-to be urgent and his belief that the work was a simple tas The technicians, who. performed the work, clearly were not familiar with procedure and the system terminology. This was exemplified when they 4 l
documented opening the Magnex valves when in fact they had opened the sensor bellows valves. A detailed review of the completed isolation portion of the procedure would have revealed that both sets of valves had 3 been isolated. This is identified as an apparent violation of the licensee's quality assurance program in that personnel who were not qualified to do so, were assigned to perform maintenance activities on safety related equipmen . Procedure Adequacy
Standing Work Request 6845 SWR is the mechanism to perform the monthly '
walkdown of the RVLIS system using IP/2/A/3122/01, Inadequate Core Cooling ;
System Walkdown Checklist. This procedure is an example of a licensee initiative which goes ' beyond minimum NRC requirements. In this case the performance of the procedure detected the inoperable channels. This initiative .is considered a strengt Standing Work Request 5345 SWR exists to remove and replace RVLIS tubing for reactor head removal and replacement. The work request requires the use of IP/2/A/3122/02, System Calibration Procedure For Inadequate Core Cooling Monitor External Analog Transmitters. Although the reactor head was not to be removed, in this case, the decision was made to use the standing work request and to N/A the non applicable steps in the procedur On May 25 qualified technicians performed steps to isolate RVLIS and disconnect the tubin After veri fying- initial conditions and .
i prerequisites, technicians performed step 10.2.1 of IP/2/A/3122/02 which states "close Magnex isolation valves on both Train A and Train B". This step was performed f or the upper range Magnex Valves and N/A'd for the dynamic head and lower range Magnex valves. The step was initialled and ,
independently verified. Additionally, the technicians wrote " Closed !
Magnex valves for 2NC6390 and 2NC6420" (Channel A and B respectively)
under the " action taken" portion of the work request. The technicians j then performed step 10.2.2.B which states "Close both isolation valves for sensor bellows". Although this step was initialled and independently !
verified, it was not documented under the " action taken" portion of the work reques The technicians then completed steps to disconnect the tubin ,

'The isolation portion of the procedure appeared to be acceptable, however, the restoration portion was inadequate as evidenced by the following: Section 10.9 of the procedure is used to restore the system back to an operational statu Step 10.9.2.H states "Open head sensor isolation valves". The sign off sheet for this step was not with the ,
completed work request. It is suspected the step had been mistakenly !
N/A'd by the supervisor and since all other steps on that sheet were not applicable, the sheet was discarded. The licensee was unable to substantiate or refute this and was unable to produce the sheet in questio The licensee was also unable to determine if this step had been included as part of the restoration procedur Step 10.9.9 states "open all Magnex Isolation Valves for Train A and Train B".
The supervisor had intended to N/A opening the Magnex valves for the dynamic head and lower range by drawing a line through the steps on the sign off sheet, writing "N/A" and initialing by the line, however, his initials crossed into the sign off steps for the upper 10.9.9 range Magnex was not Valves. This gave the appearance that all of step applicabl .
Since these two steps were required to adequately restore the system and the requirement to perform the steps had effectively been N/A'd, concluded that the procedure was inadequate and is identified asitanis apparent violation of Technical Specification 6. On May 28, the non qualified technicians attempted to restore the syste Having received instructions over the telephone they reconnected the tubing and opened the sensor bellows isolation valve The technicians apparently thought that step 10.9.9, requiring the Magnex valves to be opened, was not applicable due to the appearance that the step had been N/A'd. Under the " action taken" portion of the work request, they documented that they had " opened Magnex valves for 2NC6420 and 2NC6390". In fact they had only opened the sensor bellows valves and not the Magnex Valves. In summary it is hypothesized that this event probably occurred due to a combination of the following: The IAE technicians restoring the system vere not qualified on RVLIS and were not familiar with terms used in the procedure, The procedure as issued was inadequate in that:
The steps to open the sensor bellows valves had been mistakenly N/A'd. (cannot be substantiated).
The steps to open the Magnex Valves appeared to the technicians to have been N/A' Only the opening of the Magnex valves had been documented in the
.
" action taken" portion of the work request.

RVLIS work, states ."Have Work Supervisor review and mark N/A steps not i applicable 'to work being performed". There exists, however, no guidance on how to accomplish.this as there does in other. group The following inconsistencies were identified: One method to indicate non applicable steps is to line.through.the ;
sign offs on the data sheet of a procedure. Using this method, there is no way to indicate non applicable steps for which there is no

The performance group does not allow steps to be N/A'd, but, requires .
a procedure chang The method of drawing one line through multiple sign offs appears to be inconsistent with an " attention to detail" approach towards maintenanc The lack of requirements for N/A'ing steps in IAE procedures and the_above inconsistencies comprise a weakness in the licensee's program for the use of procedures, a weakness which contributed to this even .

A functional verification is defined as one which demonstrates that a component will operate as designed. The licensee's policy is that an independent verification such as a valve lineup is an acceptable functional verification if it is reasonable to expect the system will be restored to an operable status. The maintenance activity itself, however, l must not be expected to degrade the system. In the case where an instrument is valved out and impulse lines disconnected, various scenarios (
can be postulated such as crimp?d tubing, foreign material, inadequate fill and vent, etc. which would invalidate this type of functional verificatio Section 4.9.10 of MMP 1.0 provides guidance for performing functional !
verifications and states " instruments should be placed in operation and verified for correct reading on local and remote gauges". In that MMP requires a functional verification and that the one performed on RVLIS did not demonstrate that RVLIS would, "... operate as designed," it is ;
concluded that the post maintenance test was inadequate and is identified I as an apparent violation of Technical Specification 6.8.1, for failure to '
follow procedure, MMP The licensee's proposed corrective acti'on will ensure the walkdown of the RVLIS System using IP/2/A/3122/01 is performed after maintenance, however, the broader policy issue of functional verifications of instruments in general should be reviewe : Technical Specification Requirements Technical Specification 3.3.3.6 requires the accident monitoring instrumentation shown in Table 3.3-10 to be operable in modes 1, 2, and Table 3.3-10 specifies, for the Reactor Vessel Water Level Instruments-tion, the total number of channels as 2 and the minimum number of channels operable as The action statements specify: With the number of OPERABLE accident monitoring instrumentation channels less than the Total Number of Channels shown in Table 3.3-10, restore the inoperable channel (s) to OPERABLE status within 7 days, or be in at least HOT STANDBY within the next 6 hours6.944444e-5 days <br />0.00167 hours <br />9.920635e-6 weeks <br />2.283e-6 months <br /> and in HOT SHUTDOWN within the following 6 hour6.944444e-5 days <br />0.00167 hours <br />9.920635e-6 weeks <br />2.283e-6 months <br /> With the number of OPERABLE accident monitoring instrumentation channels less than the Minimum Channels OPERABLE requirements of Table 3.3-10, restore the inoperable channel (s) to OPERABLE status within 48 hours5.555556e-4 days <br />0.0133 hours <br />7.936508e-5 weeks <br />1.8264e-5 months <br /> or be in at least HOT STANDBY within the next 6 hours6.944444e-5 days <br />0.00167 hours <br />9.920635e-6 weeks <br />2.283e-6 months <br /> and in HOT SHUTDOWN within the following 6 hour6.944444e-5 days <br />0.00167 hours <br />9.920635e-6 weeks <br />2.283e-6 months <br /> :

The Technical Specification bases for accident monitoring instrumentation states: The OPERABILITY of the accident monitoring instrumentation ensures that sufficient information is available on selected plant parameters to monitor and assess these variables- following an acciden This capability is consistent with the recommendations of Regulatory Guide 1.97, Revision 3, " Instrumentation for Light-Water-Cooled Nuclear Power Plants to Assecs Plant Conditions During and Following an Accident," May 1983 and NUREG 0737, " Clarification of TMI Action Plan Requirements,"
November 198 The RVLIS requirements stem from NUREG 0737 Item II.F.2, Instrumentation For Detection of Inadequate Core Cooling which states: The indication of ICC must be unambiguous in that it should have the following properties: It must indicate the existence of inadequate core cooling caused by various phenomena (i.e., high-void fraction pumped flow as well as stagnant boil-off); and, It must not erroneously indicate ICC because of the presence of an unrelated phenomeno The indication must give advanced warning of the approach of ICC. The indication must cover the full range from normal operations to complete core uncovery. For example, water-level instrumentation may be chosen to provide advanced warning of two phase level drop to the top of the core and could be supplemented by other indicators such as incore and core-exit thermocouple provided that the indicated temperatures can be correlated to provide indication of the existence of ICC and to infer the extent of core uncovery. Alternatively, full-range level instrumentation to the bottom of the core may be employed in conjunction with other diverse indicators such as core-exit thermocouple to preclude misinterpretation due to any inherent deficiencies or inaccuracies in the measurement system selecte Generic Letter 83-37, NUREG 0737 Technical Specifications, required the RVLIS system to be included in Technical Specifications and that the l system be used to provide indication of the approach to, the existence of, !

During the period from June 2,1989 to June 16 1989-both channels of upper. range Reactor Vessel Water Level Instrumentation were isolated and {
'
therefore inoperable. This constitutes an apparent violation of TS 3.3.'3.6 in:that both channels were inoperable for approximately 14 days, i
which is greater than the 48 hours5.555556e-4 days <br />0.0133 hours <br />7.936508e-5 weeks <br />1.8264e-5 months <br /> allowed by the action statement L Technical Specification 4.3.3.6 requires a monthly Channel Check of RVLIS'
atLleast once per 31 days and a channel calibration at least once per 18 months. :The licensee's channel calibration as performed by IP/2/A/3122/02 appears to be acceptable. The monthly channel check' is accomplished by PT/2/A/4600/03A, Monthly Surveillance Items, item 18 of enclosure 1 The acceptance criteria requires two operable channels reading within +/-
3% of expected values for pump combination and reactor power level. The expected valves are located in OP/2/A/6700/01, Unit Two Data Book, in tables 2.6.2, and figures 2.6.3 and 2.6.4 With reactor coolant pumps running the' licensee compares the dynamic head values to the Data Book to
-
perform the channel check. Since the upper and lower ranges indicate invalid'and off scale low in the control room with reactor coolant pumps on, channel checks on these are not performe A channel check is defined in Teche bei Specifications as the qualitative assessment of channel behavior during operation by observation. This is not being performed on the upper and lower ranges of RVLIS. This is identified as an apparent violation of TS 4.3. . Safety Significance In this event both channels of upper range RVLIS were isolated from June 2,1989 to June 16, 1989 while the reactor was operated in modes 1, 2, and '. The "as found" conditions of Channels A and B were 94% and 99%
level ' respectfully. The upper range level channels are referred to at i various points in the licensee's Emergency Procedures (EPs), generally to detert. the onset o
~ f void formation in the reactor vessel and to take approt riate corrective action or as a condition for starting reactor coolant pump i I !
Emergency Procedure, EP/2/A/5000/1A1, Natural Circulation Cooldown, i has the operator verify that a void does not exist in the upper head !
area by checking upper range RVLIS >97%. If symptoms of upper head i
voiding are observed a choice is made depending upon whether or not '
rapid depressurization is deemed necessary. If rapid depressuriza-tion is not required operators are directed to procedures to collapse the void which may eventually lead to venting the head. If rapid depressurization is required, the operator is tasked to start a Reactor Coolant (NC) pump. Again, upper range RVLIS is checked >97%
as condition for startin If this condition cannot be met, pressurizer level is increased >50%, pressurizer heaters are energized and NC subcooling is established at >50 degroes F. This is done so that when voids are condensed, the resulting pressurizer outsurge would not cause pressurizer level or NC subccoling to be lost

v
If an NC pump cannot be started, Upper Range RVLIS is again monitored during the cooldown and depressurization to minimize the potential
' for introducing voids into the loops. Operators must repressurize the NC~ system to maintain upper range level >72%.
As the NC system is cooled to 200 F, the upper head temperature will lag and a sufficient period of time. must be allowed for the upper.-
head to cool below' 200 F. Upper Range RVLIS must ~ be used as an indication during depressurization of when to stop cooldown and allow 4 further upper head cooling since there is no direct temperature !
indication in this region, EP/2/A/5000/1C1, Safety Injection Termination Following High Energy Line Break, and. EP/2/A/5000/1C2, Post LOCA Cooldown and Depressuri-zation, also have similar steps to check Upper Range RVLIS >97% as a condition for starting reactor coolant pumps or exiting the procedure
.
(if. <97%) to enter.EP/2/A/5000/2F3, Void in Reactor Vesse In the event of certain accidents with reactor coolant pumps off (Natural circulation cooldown, small to medium break LOCA, excessive cooldowns) and upper range RVLIS isolated, the coritrol room display would have erroneously indicated Channels A and B RVLIS at 94% and 99% respectively, regardless of actual level. Operators using the EPs would not have had adequate instrumentation available to detect a void in the head and to monitor the approach to inadequate core cooling. .The criteria, as set forth in several steps. of the EP's, for satisfying that no voids exist, is upper range RVLIS at greater than 97%. Assuming ' a single channel failure, operators would have been deceived into believing that no voids existed. This would have led to inadequate corrective actions to collapse the void or to premature restart of forced circulation and a subsequent loss of subcooling. The expected response for come actions in turn would not have been achievable. At the very least the above discussed inadequacies would have confused the operators and hampered accident recovery. Hact the inoperability been detected the ability to restore the instrumentation to service is questionable weighing the difficulty encountered by the licensee in opening the Magnex valve on June 1 ,

1 Deportability The licensee promptly submitted a courtesy Licensee Event Report (LER)
414/89-16 on June 26, 1989, 10 days after discovery of the inoperabilit It should be noted that it was the licensee's desire to provide information to the NRC and to initiate corrective action in a timely manner which prompted the courtesy LE The LER states that with the upper range channels isolated "RVLIS could still perform its functions required under NUREG 0737, Supplement 1". The licensee also states "A Technical Specification violation did not occur in this situation because the use of the dynamic head dp and lower range RVLIS scales can meet the requirements stated without reliance on the upper range scale."

The .NRC does not' concur with these conclusions. NUREG 0737 required'the
~ RVLIS system indication to cover the full range from normal operations to complete - core uncovery. Generic Letter 83-37, NUREG 0737 ' Technical Specifications, states- the system would provide indication of the approach to, the existence of, and the recovery from inadequate core cool _ing. With'
the Upper Range ' channels inoperable, these requirements were not met and -
therefore the licensee was not' in compliance with 'the Technical Specificatio On the basis that a technical specification v'iolation did occur, the report then .would be required by 10CFR50.73, which requires any operation or conditiore prohibited by the . Technical Specifications to be reporte The LER also refers .to the McGuire Nuclear Station Technical Specifica- l tions which are different than Catawba's for the RVLIS system. The LER states that McGuire's basis for RVLIS does not require upper range. Th licensee, however, may not rely on the McGuire TS because they do not apply at Catawba. Additionally, the basis as stated in the McGuire TS has not been approved and is currently being reviewed by NRR. These items were discussed with the licensee. The licensee agreed with the position and informed the inspectors that the LER would be revised. At the writing of this report the revised LER had not been receive . Exit Interview The. inspection scope and findings were summarized on July 7,1989, with those persons indicated in paragraph 1. The inspectors described the areas inspected and discussed in detail the inspection findings listed belo The following dissenting comments were received from the licensee:
