Failure to Perform Testing of Emergency Diesel Generator Bypass Switches Cornerstone Significance Cross-cutting Report Aspect Section Mitigating Green P.2 - Problem 71111.05T Systems NCV 05000272,05000311/2018007-01 Identification Closed and Resolution, Evaluation The team identified a finding of very low safety significance (Green) involving an NCV of Salem Unit 1 License Condition 2.C.(5) and Salem Unit 2 License Condition 2.C.(10) of the respective facility operating licenses for failure to implement and maintain in effect all provisions of the approved Fire Protection Program. Specifically, PSEG did not periodically test or check the EDG bypass switches to verify that they were capable of performing their intended design functions during safe shutdown operation in the event of a significant fire. | |||
=====Description:===== | |||
On January 12, 2018, PSEG completed a focused self-assessment of the Salems fire protection program. During the self-assessment, an extent-of-condition review was performed on an NRC-identified NCV identified during the 2016 Hope Creek triennial fire protection inspection documented in NRC Inspection Report 05000354/2016007 (ML16116A301). The NCV was associated with the failure to establish and perform periodic testing to verify the transfer or isolation functions of the EDG normal-emergency takeover switches. On January, 31, 2018, PSEG staff generated Notification (NOTF) 20785891, because no periodic testing was performed on the equivalent EDG bypass switches at Salem. | |||
The function of the EDG bypass switches are to isolate the EDGs from Control Room and Relay Room circuitry in the event of a fire in these areas. PSEG concluded that there were no existing requirements to test the switches based on a review of the safe shutdown analysis, the Technical Specifications, and the Updated Final Safety Analysis (UFSAR). | |||
However, because the switches were not tested since they were installed in 1984, the NOTF recommended an enhancement to periodically test the switches. The NOTF was given a routine priority (>20 weeks) to implement routine testing of the switches. | |||
On February 12, 2018, the team reviewed NOTF 20785891 and the Salem licensing basis and determined that the EDG bypass switches were required to be periodically tested in accordance with the Facility Operating License condition to implement and maintain in effect all provisions of the approved fire protection program as described in the UFSAR. Therefore, NOTF 20785891 should have received a higher priority for resolution in the corrective action program. In addition, the team determined that a functionality assessment was warranted because the EDG bypass switches had not been tested since they were installed in 1984 and could have degraded over time. Based on the inspectors value added, this issue was determined to be NRC identified. | |||
Corrective Action(s): On February 28, 2018, PSEG staff completed a functionality evaluation for the EDG bypass switches and concluded that the EDG bypass switches were considered functional and capable of performing their post fire safe shutdown functions. Furthermore, two recommended actions were added to NOTF 20785891: 1) to complete an extent of condition review to determine whether any similar switches associated with fire safe shutdown from outside the control room have testing inadequacies; and 2) implement routine testing of the EDG bypass switches. | |||
Corrective Action Reference(s): NOTF 20785891 | |||
=====Performance Assessment:===== | |||
Performance Deficiency: The team determined that PSEGs failure to establish periodic testing of the EDG safe shutdown bypass switches, as required by the Salem fire protection program, was a performance deficiency that was reasonably within PSEGs ability to foresee and prevent, and should have been corrected. Specifically, PSEG failed to periodically verify or demonstrate that EDG bypass switches would perform their intended safe shutdown functions in the event of a significant fire. | |||
Screening: This performance deficiency is more than minor because it was associated with the protection against external factors (fire) attribute of the Mitigating System cornerstone and affected the cornerstone objective to ensure the availability, reliability, and capability of the EDG during a post fire safe shutdown event. Specifically, failure to periodically test the EDG bypass switches to demonstrate that they will perform satisfactory in service could affect their availability, reliability, and capability due to degradation over time. | |||
Significance: The team assessed the significance of the finding using Inspection Manual Chapter 0609, Appendix F, Fire Protection SDP. This issue screened to very low safety significance (Green) in Phase 1, Task 1.4.5, Post-fire Safe-shutdown, because it did not affect the ability to reach and maintain a stable plant condition within the first 24 hours of a fire event. This was based on a functionality evaluation performed by PSEG for the EDG bypass switches that concluded that the switches were considered functional and capable of performing their post fire safe shutdown function. The conclusion was based on the construction of the switch, the capability to monitor certain failures during normal plant operations, and the mild environment where they are installed. | |||
Cross-cutting Aspect: The team determined that this finding had a cross-cutting aspect in the area of Problem Identification and Resolution, Evaluation, because PSEG did not thoroughly evaluate the issue of not periodically testing the EDG bypass switches, which are required to operate during post fire safe shutdown operation, to ensure that resolutions address causes and extent of conditions commensurate with their safety significance. [P.2] | |||
=====Enforcement:===== | |||
Violation: Salem Unit 1 License Condition 2.C.(5) and Salem Unit 2 License Condition 2.C.(10), in part, require PSEG to implement and maintain in effect all provisions of the approved fire protection program as described in the UFSAR. UFSAR Section 9.5.1.1.5, Quality Assurance Program for Fire Protection, states that the Quality Assurance Program at Salem assures that the requirements for design, procurement, installation, testing, and administrative controls for the fire protection program for safety related areas are satisfied. | |||
UFSAR Section 17.2 states that the Quality Assurance Topical Report (QATR) describes how the Quality Assurance Program is to be functionally implemented at Salem. | |||
The QATR is the highest tiered document that assigns major quality assurance functional responsibilities for Salem Unit 1 and Unit 2. QATR Chapter 11, Test Control, Section 2.1.1 states that a documented test program shall be established to assure that all testing required demonstrating that the structures, systems, and components within the scope of this Quality Assurance Program will perform satisfactory in service. In addition, the test program includes, as appropriate, procedures to ensure those structures, systems, and components will perform in service at the Salem Generating Station. CC-AA-211, Fire Protection Program, Revision 5, describes the provisions for post fire safe shutdown. CC-AA-211, Step 4.1.3.3 states that equipment and components required to perform various manual actions needed for fire safe shutdown are checked periodically to verify they are available to meet the manual action steps during fire safe shutdown operation. | |||
Contrary to the above, since 1984, when the EDG bypass switches were installed and placed in operation, PSEG had not established or performed periodic testing, or checking on the EDG bypass switches of both units to verify that they will be available to meet manual action steps during fire safe shutdown operation. | |||
Disposition: This violation is being treated as an NCV, consistent with Section 2.3.2 of the Enforcement Policy. | |||
Licensee Identified Non-Cited Violation 71111.05T This violation of very low safety significant was identified by the licensee and has been entered into the licensee corrective action program and is being treated as an NCV, consistent with Section 2.3.2 of the Enforcement Policy. | |||
Violation: Salem Unit 2 Facility Operating License Condition 2.(C).(10), in part, requires PSEG to implement and maintain in effect all provisions of the fire protection program as described in the UFSAR, as approved by the NRC. SC.ER-PS.FP-0001-A3, Salem Fire Protection Report-Safe Shutdown Analysis, Revision 0, establishes the basis for demonstrating a capability to achieve and maintain post-fire safe shutdown as described in the UFSAR, Section 9.5.1.1, Fire Protection Program. SC.ER-PS.FP-0001-A3 states that 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix R, Section III.L describes the safe shutdown requirements when an alternate or dedicated shutdown capability is provided as required in Appendix R, Section III.G.3. Appendix R, Section III.L.3, states, in part, that alternative shutdown capability shall be independent of the specific fire area. SC.ER-PS.FP-0001-A3 designates Fire Areas 2FA-AB-84A and 2FA-AB-64A as alternative shutdown areas. | |||
Contrary to the above, as of January 10, 2018, PSEG identified that the power cable that supplies power to both the Nuclear Instrumentation System Wide Range Amplifier Panel 962 and Signal Processor Panel 964 is routed through Fire Areas 2FA-AB-84A and 2FA-AB-64A without a required fire barrier and, therefore, was not independent of the specific fire area. As a result, for a fire event in either of these alternative shutdown areas, the power supply to the Unit 2 Hot Shutdown Panel Source Range and Power Range monitor could be lost and result in the loss of the neutron monitoring function. PSEG promptly implemented compensatory measures for this deficiency that included establishing a fire watch for the affected area. | |||
Because this violation was of very low safety significance (Green) and was entered into PSEGs Corrective Action Program (NOTF 20785256), this violation is being treated as an NCV, consistent with Section 2.3.2.a of the NRC Enforcement Policy. | |||
Significance/Severity Level: The team performed a Phase 1 Significance Determination Process (SDP) screening, in accordance with Inspection Manual Chapter 0609, Appendix F, Fire Protection SDP, Task 1.4.5: Post-fire Safe-shutdown. This issue screened to very low safety significance (Green) because it did not affect the ability to reach and maintain a stable plant condition within the first 24 hours of a fire event. Specifically, the Hot Shutdown Panel Source Range and Power Range monitor only provides a process monitoring function for reactivity control and safe shutdown actions would be determined using reactor coolant system chemistry sampling for boron concentration. | |||

Description:
On January 12, 2018, PSEG completed a focused self-assessment of the Salems fire protection program. During the self-assessment, an extent-of-condition review was performed on an NRC-identified NCV identified during the 2016 Hope Creek triennial fire protection inspection documented in NRC Inspection Report 05000354/2016007 (ML16116A301). The NCV was associated with the failure to establish and perform periodic testing to verify the transfer or isolation functions of the EDG normal-emergency takeover switches. On January, 31, 2018, PSEG staff generated Notification (NOTF) 20785891, because no periodic testing was performed on the equivalent EDG bypass switches at Salem.
The function of the EDG bypass switches are to isolate the EDGs from Control Room and Relay Room circuitry in the event of a fire in these areas. PSEG concluded that there were no existing requirements to test the switches based on a review of the safe shutdown analysis, the Technical Specifications, and the Updated Final Safety Analysis (UFSAR).
However, because the switches were not tested since they were installed in 1984, the NOTF recommended an enhancement to periodically test the switches. The NOTF was given a routine priority (>20 weeks) to implement routine testing of the switches.
On February 12, 2018, the team reviewed NOTF 20785891 and the Salem licensing basis and determined that the EDG bypass switches were required to be periodically tested in accordance with the Facility Operating License condition to implement and maintain in effect all provisions of the approved fire protection program as described in the UFSAR. Therefore, NOTF 20785891 should have received a higher priority for resolution in the corrective action program. In addition, the team determined that a functionality assessment was warranted because the EDG bypass switches had not been tested since they were installed in 1984 and could have degraded over time. Based on the inspectors value added, this issue was determined to be NRC identified.
Corrective Action(s): On February 28, 2018, PSEG staff completed a functionality evaluation for the EDG bypass switches and concluded that the EDG bypass switches were considered functional and capable of performing their post fire safe shutdown functions. Furthermore, two recommended actions were added to NOTF 20785891: 1) to complete an extent of condition review to determine whether any similar switches associated with fire safe shutdown from outside the control room have testing inadequacies; and 2) implement routine testing of the EDG bypass switches.
Corrective Action Reference(s): NOTF 20785891
Performance Assessment:
Performance Deficiency: The team determined that PSEGs failure to establish periodic testing of the EDG safe shutdown bypass switches, as required by the Salem fire protection program, was a performance deficiency that was reasonably within PSEGs ability to foresee and prevent, and should have been corrected. Specifically, PSEG failed to periodically verify or demonstrate that EDG bypass switches would perform their intended safe shutdown functions in the event of a significant fire.
Screening: This performance deficiency is more than minor because it was associated with the protection against external factors (fire) attribute of the Mitigating System cornerstone and affected the cornerstone objective to ensure the availability, reliability, and capability of the EDG during a post fire safe shutdown event. Specifically, failure to periodically test the EDG bypass switches to demonstrate that they will perform satisfactory in service could affect their availability, reliability, and capability due to degradation over time.
Significance: The team assessed the significance of the finding using Inspection Manual Chapter 0609, Appendix F, Fire Protection SDP. This issue screened to very low safety significance (Green) in Phase 1, Task 1.4.5, Post-fire Safe-shutdown, because it did not affect the ability to reach and maintain a stable plant condition within the first 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> of a fire event. This was based on a functionality evaluation performed by PSEG for the EDG bypass switches that concluded that the switches were considered functional and capable of performing their post fire safe shutdown function. The conclusion was based on the construction of the switch, the capability to monitor certain failures during normal plant operations, and the mild environment where they are installed.
Cross-cutting Aspect: The team determined that this finding had a cross-cutting aspect in the area of Problem Identification and Resolution, Evaluation, because PSEG did not thoroughly evaluate the issue of not periodically testing the EDG bypass switches, which are required to operate during post fire safe shutdown operation, to ensure that resolutions address causes and extent of conditions commensurate with their safety significance. [P.2]
Enforcement:
Violation: Salem Unit 1 License Condition 2.C.(5) and Salem Unit 2 License Condition 2.C.(10), in part, require PSEG to implement and maintain in effect all provisions of the approved fire protection program as described in the UFSAR. UFSAR Section 9.5.1.1.5, Quality Assurance Program for Fire Protection, states that the Quality Assurance Program at Salem assures that the requirements for design, procurement, installation, testing, and administrative controls for the fire protection program for safety related areas are satisfied.
UFSAR Section 17.2 states that the Quality Assurance Topical Report (QATR) describes how the Quality Assurance Program is to be functionally implemented at Salem.
The QATR is the highest tiered document that assigns major quality assurance functional responsibilities for Salem Unit 1 and Unit 2. QATR Chapter 11, Test Control, Section 2.1.1 states that a documented test program shall be established to assure that all testing required demonstrating that the structures, systems, and components within the scope of this Quality Assurance Program will perform satisfactory in service. In addition, the test program includes, as appropriate, procedures to ensure those structures, systems, and components will perform in service at the Salem Generating Station. CC-AA-211, Fire Protection Program, Revision 5, describes the provisions for post fire safe shutdown. CC-AA-211, Step 4.1.3.3 states that equipment and components required to perform various manual actions needed for fire safe shutdown are checked periodically to verify they are available to meet the manual action steps during fire safe shutdown operation.
Contrary to the above, since 1984, when the EDG bypass switches were installed and placed in operation, PSEG had not established or performed periodic testing, or checking on the EDG bypass switches of both units to verify that they will be available to meet manual action steps during fire safe shutdown operation.
Disposition: This violation is being treated as an NCV, consistent with Section 2.3.2 of the Enforcement Policy.
Licensee Identified Non-Cited Violation 71111.05T This violation of very low safety significant was identified by the licensee and has been entered into the licensee corrective action program and is being treated as an NCV, consistent with Section 2.3.2 of the Enforcement Policy.
Violation: Salem Unit 2 Facility Operating License Condition 2.(C).(10), in part, requires PSEG to implement and maintain in effect all provisions of the fire protection program as described in the UFSAR, as approved by the NRC. SC.ER-PS.FP-0001-A3, Salem Fire Protection Report-Safe Shutdown Analysis, Revision 0, establishes the basis for demonstrating a capability to achieve and maintain post-fire safe shutdown as described in the UFSAR, Section 9.5.1.1, Fire Protection Program. SC.ER-PS.FP-0001-A3 states that 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix R, Section III.L describes the safe shutdown requirements when an alternate or dedicated shutdown capability is provided as required in Appendix R,Section III.G.3. Appendix R,Section III.L.3, states, in part, that alternative shutdown capability shall be independent of the specific fire area. SC.ER-PS.FP-0001-A3 designates Fire Areas 2FA-AB-84A and 2FA-AB-64A as alternative shutdown areas.
Contrary to the above, as of January 10, 2018, PSEG identified that the power cable that supplies power to both the Nuclear Instrumentation System Wide Range Amplifier Panel 962 and Signal Processor Panel 964 is routed through Fire Areas 2FA-AB-84A and 2FA-AB-64A without a required fire barrier and, therefore, was not independent of the specific fire area. As a result, for a fire event in either of these alternative shutdown areas, the power supply to the Unit 2 Hot Shutdown Panel Source Range and Power Range monitor could be lost and result in the loss of the neutron monitoring function. PSEG promptly implemented compensatory measures for this deficiency that included establishing a fire watch for the affected area.
Because this violation was of very low safety significance (Green) and was entered into PSEGs Corrective Action Program (NOTF 20785256), this violation is being treated as an NCV, consistent with Section 2.3.2.a of the NRC Enforcement Policy.
Significance/Severity Level: The team performed a Phase 1 Significance Determination Process (SDP) screening, in accordance with Inspection Manual Chapter 0609, Appendix F, Fire Protection SDP, Task 1.4.5: Post-fire Safe-shutdown. This issue screened to very low safety significance (Green) because it did not affect the ability to reach and maintain a stable plant condition within the first 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> of a fire event. Specifically, the Hot Shutdown Panel Source Range and Power Range monitor only provides a process monitoring function for reactivity control and safe shutdown actions would be determined using reactor coolant system chemistry sampling for boron concentration.
