SUBJECT: H.B. ROBINSON STEAM ELECTRIC PLANT - NRC INTEGRATED INSPECTION REPORT 05000261/2009002
Dear Mr. McCartney:
On March 31, 2009, the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed an inspection at your H.B. Robinson reactor facility. The enclosed integrated inspection report documents the inspection findings, which were discussed on April 3, 2009, with you and other members of your staff.
The inspection examined activities conducted under your license as they relate to safety and compliance with the Commission's rules and regulations and with the conditions of your license. The inspectors reviewed selected procedures and records, observed activities, and interviewed personnel.
Based on the results of this inspection, the inspectors identified two issues of very low safety significance (Green). One of the Green issues was determined to involve a violation of NRC requirements. However, because of its very low safety significance and because it has been entered into your corrective action program (CAP), the NRC is treating this issue as a non-cited
violation, in accordance with Section VI.A.1 of the NRC's Enforcement Policy. The other Green issue is being treated as a finding. If you deny this non-cited violation or the finding, you should provide a response with the basis for your denial, within 30 days of the date of this inspection report to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, ATTN: Document Control Desk, Washington DC 20555-0001, with copies to the Regional Administrator, Region II; the Director, Office of
Enforcement, United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555-0001; and the NRC Resident Inspector at the H.B. Robinson facility. In addition, if you disagree with the characterization of 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 II, and the NRC Resident Inspector at the H.B. Robinson Steam Electric
Plant. The information you provide will be considered in accordance with Inspection Manual Chapter 0305.
CP&L 2 In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 of the NRC's "Rules of Practice," a copy of this letter and its enclosure will be available electronically for public inspection in the NRC Public Document Room or from the Publicly Available Records (PARS) component of NRC's document system (ADAMS).

Enclosure SUMMARY OF FINDINGS
IR 05000261/2009002, Carolina Power and Light Company; on 01/01-03/31/2009; H.B. Robinson Steam Electric Plant, Unit 2; event follow-up, operability evaluations.
The report covered a three-month period of inspection by resident inspectors and announced inspections by health physicists and operations engineers. One violation and one finding were identified. The significance of most findings is indicated by their color (Green, White, Yellow, Red) using Inspection Manual Chapter (IMC) 0609, "Significance Determination Process"
(SDP). Findings for which the SDP does not apply may be Green or be assigned a severity level after NRC management review. The NRC's program for overseeing the safe operation of commercial nuclear power reactors is described in NUREG-1649, "Reactor Oversight Process," Revision 4, dated December 2006.
Cornerstone: Initiating Events
- Green. A self-revealing finding was documented for the licensee's failure to provide adequate procedures for maintenance and installation of the main generator and exciter. As a result, work activities using those procedures produced conditions which led to high turbine vibration, which on November 17, 2008, prompted control-room operators to manually initiate a reactor trip. This failure was a performance deficiency with respect to
a self-imposed licensee policy which requires Managers and Supervisors to ensure that procedures are adequate to assure nuclear safety. This finding is addressed in the licensee's corrective action program within Action Request 306903. In that Action Request, one corrective action is to correct the affected procedures.
This finding is more-than-minor because it affected the Equipment Performance attribute of the Initiating Events cornerstone, and affected the cornerstone objective of limiting the likelihood of those events that upset plant stability during power operations. When evaluated per Attachment 4 of Manual Chapter 0609, this finding screened to very low safety significance (Green) because it did not contribute to both an initiating event and
the likelihood of a loss of mitigating equipment or functions. This finding has a cross-cutting aspect of supervisory and management oversight, as described in the Work Practices component of the Human Performance cross cutting area because the licensee failed to provide adequate oversight to the work activities associated with turbine-generator reassembly (H.4(c)). (Section 4OA3)
Cornerstone: Mitigating Systems
- Green. The inspectors identified a Green non-cited violation of Technical Specification 3.8.1, for the licensee's failure to meet the required actions of TS 3.8.1 for one inoperable emergency diesel generator (EDG), which are, in part, that within 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> of discovering the inoperable EDG, the licensee must either verify that the other EDG starts
from standby conditions and achieves acceptable steady-state conditions, or determine that the other EDG is not inoperable due to a common cause. The licensee has entered this finding into their corrective action program as Action Request 327363, and plans to insert into the appropriate procedure criteria to describe the required attributes of an adequate determination that an EDG is not inoperable due to a common cause.
3 Enclosure This finding is more-than-minor because if left uncorrected, this finding would become a more significant safety and regulatory concern, in that following a common-cause inoperability of both EDGs and the discovery of the inoperability of one EDG, if left uncorrected this violation could result in the licensee correcting the discovered
inoperability of one EDG without correcting the undiscovered inoperability of the other EDG, such that the other EDG could remain inoperable for longer than its allowed outage time. Using Appendix A of IMC 0609, the significance of this violation was determined to be of very low safety significance (GREEN), because although the violation could degrade the Emergency AC power function in the Mitigating Systems
cornerstone, the violation was not a design or qualification deficiency confirmed not to result in loss of operability or functionality, did not represent a loss of system safety function, did not represent actual loss of safety function of a single train, did not represent an actual loss of safety function of one or more non-TS Trains of equipment designated as risk-significant, and did not screen as potentially risk significant due to a seismic, flooding, or severe-weather initiating event. This finding has a cross cutting aspect of procedures, as described in the resources component of the Human
Performance cross cutting area because the licensee did not ensure that procedures, and other resources were available and adequate to assure nuclear safety as it relates to the EDG common cause analysis procedure. (H.2(c)) (Section 1R15)
Enclosure REPORT DETAILS
Summary of Plant Status: The unit began the inspection period operating at rated thermal power, and operated at or near rated power for the entire inspection period.
1. REACTOR SAFETY
Cornerstones: Initiating Events, Mitigating Systems, Barrier Integrity
1R01 Adverse Weather Protection
a. Inspection Scope
When extreme cold weather was predicted for the site on January 16, the inspectors reviewed actions taken by the licensee in accordance with Procedure AP-008, Cold
Weather Preparation, prior to the onset of that weather
, to ensure that the adverse weather conditions would neither initiate a plant event nor prevent any system, structure, or component from performing its design function. The inspectors reviewed the operator actions described in Procedure AP-008, Cold Weather Preparation, to verify that the desired results could be achieved. Documents reviewed are listed in the Attachment.
b. Findings
No findings of significance were identified.
1R04 Equipment Alignment
a. Inspection Scope
Partial System Walkdowns:
The inspectors performed the following three partial system walkdowns while the
indicated structures, systems, and/or components (SSCs) were out-of-service for maintenance and testing:

A train of emergency control room ventilation B train of emergency control room ventilation January 5 B train containment spray pump A train containment spray pump January 13 B train motor-driven auxiliary feedwater pump steam-driven auxiliary feedwater pump January 22
5 Enclosure To evaluate the operability of the selected trains or systems under these conditions, the inspectors compared observed positions of valves, switches, and electrical power breakers to the procedures and drawings listed in the Attachment.
Complete System Walkdown:
The inspectors conducted a detailed review of the alignment and condition of Component Cooling Water system train A to verify that the existing alignment of the system was consistent with the correct alignment. To determine the correct system
alignment, the inspectors reviewed the procedures, drawings, and the Updated Final Safety Analysis Report (UFSAR) section listed in the Attachment. The inspectors also walked down the system. During the walkdown, the inspectors reviewed the following:
- Valves were correctly positioned and did not exhibit leakage that would impact the functions of any given valve. * Electrical power was available as required.
- Major system components were correctly labeled, lubricated, cooled, ventilated, etc. * Hangers and supports were correctly installed and functional. * Essential support systems were operational. * Ancillary equipment or debris did not interfere with system performance. * Tagging clearances were appropriate.
- Valves were locked as required by the locked valve program.
The inspectors reviewed the documents listed in the Attachment to verify that the ability of the system to perform its functions could not be affected by outstanding design issues, temporary modifications, operator workarounds, adverse conditions, and other
system-related issues tracked by the engineering department.
The inspectors reviewed the following action requests (ARs) associated with this area to verify that the licensee identified and implemented appropriate corrective actions:
- 300234, rework of valve FCV-626 * 302037, component cooler water activity
b. Findings
No findings of significance were identified.
1R05 Fire Protection
a. Inspection Scope
For the five areas identified below, the inspectors reviewed the control of transient
combustible material and ignition sources, fire detection and suppression capabilities, fire barriers, and any related compensatory measures to verify that those items were consistent with UFSAR Section 9.5.1, Fire Protection System, and UFSAR Appendix 9.5.A, Fire Hazards Analysis. The inspectors walked down accessible portions of each area and reviewed results from related surveillance tests to verify that conditions in
6 Enclosure these areas were consistent with descriptions of the areas in the UFSAR. Documents reviewed are listed in the Attachment.
The following areas were inspected:
Fire Zone Description
26 Yard transformers 20 E-1/E-2 Electrical Switchgear Room
19 Unit 2 Cable Spreading Room 5 Component Cooling Pump Room
7 Auxiliary Building Hallway
Also, to evaluate the readiness of personnel to prevent and fight fires, the inspectors observed fire brigade performance during the unannounced fire drill in the component cooling water pump room on March 2. This drill simulated an electrical fire associated with the C component cooling water pump. Documents are listed in the Attachment.
The inspectors reviewed the following work requests associated with this area to verify that the licensee identified and implemented appropriate corrective actions:
- 280021, Replace mercury check valve FP-615 main transformer deluge * 287003, OST-630 completed unsatisfactorily * 348599, Manual pull station 3B3 does not alarm
b. Findings
No findings of significance were identified.
1R07 Heat Sink Performance
a. Inspection Scope
The inspectors observed the inspection of the B motor-driven auxiliary feedwater pump bearing oil heat exchanger to verify that the inspection results were appropriately categorized against the pre-established acceptance criteria described in Procedure CM-201, Safety Related and Non-Safety Related Heat Exchanger Maintenance. The inspectors reviewed the frequency of the B motor-driven auxiliary feedwater pump
bearing oil heat exchanger inspection to determine that the inspection frequency was sufficient to detect degradation prior to loss of heat removal capability below design basis values. Documents reviewed are listed in the Attachment.
b. Findings
No findings of significance were identified
7 Enclosure 1R11 Licensed Operator Requalification
.1 Requalification Simulator Training
a. Inspection Scope
The inspectors observed licensed-operator performance during requalification simulator training for crew one to verify that actual operator performance was consistent with expected operator performance, as described in Dynamic Simulator Scenario Exam,
Week 1, Scenario 1. This training tested the operators' ability to operate components from the control room, direct auxiliary operator actions, and determine the appropriate emergency action level classifications while responding to failure of a pressurizer pressure transmitter, failure of a heater drain pump, a rod control urgent failure, and a steam generator tube leak that escalated into a steam generator tube rupture. The inspectors focused on clarity and formality of communication, the use of procedures, alarm response, control board manipulations, group dynamics, and supervisory
oversight.
The inspectors observed the post-exercise critique to verify that the licensee identified deficiencies and discrepancies that occurred during the simulator training.
Documents reviewed are listed in the Attachment.
b. Findings
No findings of significance were identified.
.2 Licensed Operator Requalification Program
a. Inspection Scope
The inspectors reviewed the facility operating history and documents associated with the licensed operator requalification program in preparation for this inspection. During the week of March 2 - 5, 2009, the inspectors reviewed documentation, interviewed licensee personnel, and observed the administration of operating tests and written examinations associated with the licensee
=s operator requalification program. Each of the activities performed by the inspectors was done to assess the effectiveness of the licensee in implementing requalification requirements identified in 10 CFR Part 55, AOperators= Licenses.@ The evaluations were also performed to determine if the licensee effectively implemented operator requalification guidelines established in NUREG 1021, AOperator Licensing Examination Standards for Power Reactors,@ and Inspection Procedure 71111.11, ALicensed Operator Requalification Program.
@ The inspectors also evaluated the licensee
=s simulation facility for adequacy for use in operator licensing examinations using ANSI/ANS-3.5-1998. The inspectors observed one shift crew during the
performance of the operating tests. Documentation reviewed included written examinations, Job Performance Measures (JPMs), simulator scenarios, licensee procedures, on-shift records, licensed operator qualification records, watchstanding, medical records, simulator modification request records, performance test records,
8 Enclosure feedback forms, and remediation plans. Documents reviewed during the inspection are listed in the Attachment to the report.
Following the completion of the biennial operating tests and written examinations, which
ended on March 12, 2009, the inspectors reviewed the overall pass/fail results of the individual JPM operating tests, the simulator operating tests and the written examinations administered by the licensee during the operator licensing requalification cycle. These results were compared to the thresholds established in Manual Chapter 609, Appendix I, AOperator Requalification Human Performance Significance Determination Process.

- Appropriate work practices, * Identifying and addressing common cause failures, * Scoping in accordance with 10 CFR 50.65(b),
- Characterizing reliability issues (performance), * Charging unavailability (performance), * Trending key parameters (condition monitoring), * 10 CFR 50.65(a)(1) or (a)(2) classification and reclassification, and * Appropriateness of performance criteria for SSCs/functions classified (a)(2) and/or appropriateness and adequacy of goals and corrective actions for SSCs/functions classified (a)(1).
9 Enclosure The inspectors reviewed the following ARs associated with this area to verify that the licensee identified and implemented appropriate corrective actions:
- 287286, Charging pump C valve stop pin found broken
- 158738, Repetitive functional failures
b. Findings
No findings of significance were identified.
1R13 Maintenance Risk Assessments and Emergent Work Evaluation
a. Inspection Scope
For the five time periods listed below, the inspectors reviewed risk assessments and related activities to verify that the licensee performed adequate risk assessments and
implemented appropriate risk-management actions when required by 10 CFR 50.65(a)(4). For emergent work, the inspectors also verified that any increase in risk was promptly assessed, and that appropriate risk-management actions were promptly implemented. Documents reviewed are listed in the Attachment. Those periods included the following:
- January 17 - January 23, including rescheduling maintenance on the steam-driven auxiliary feedwater pump out of the period due to increased risk of a loss-of-offsite-power event associated with freezing temperatures
- January 24 - January 30, including a yellow-risk period due to maintenance on a reactor coolant system pressure indicator
- February 17 - February 20, including a yellow-risk period due to maintenance on the A motor-driven auxiliary feedwater pump
- February 23 - February 27, including a yellow-risk period due to maintenance on the B motor-driven auxiliary feedwater pump
- March 7 - March 13, including an emergent failure of the A emergency diesel generator that prompted rescheduling risk-significant tasks
b. Findings
No findings of significance were identified.
1R15 Operability Evaluations
a. Inspection Scope
The inspectors reviewed the five operability determinations associated with the ARs listed below. The inspectors assessed the accuracy of the evaluations, the use and
10 Enclosure control of any necessary compensatory measures, and compliance with the Technical Specification (TS). The inspectors verified that the operability determinations were made as specified by procedure OPS-NGGC-1305, Operability Determinations. The inspectors compared the justifications provided in the determinations to the requirements
from the TS, the UFSAR, and associated design-basis documents, to verify that operability was properly justified and the subject components or systems remained available, such that no unrecognized increase in risk occurred. The reviewed ARs were: * 314228, load swings which occurred on the A emergency diesel generator during performance of slow speed start
- 319105, component cooling water pump B relay BX1/CCW-PMP-B failed to actuate when low pressure alarm received
- 321755, active boric acid leak on the excess letdown heat exchanger
- 324105, common cause failure determination for B emergency diesel generator due to fuel oil fitting leak on A emergency diesel generator
- 321257, more than half of the B motor-driven auxiliary feedwater pump bearing oil cooler tubes were found blocked during routine inspection
Documents reviewed are listed in the Attachment.
Also, to verify that the licensee identified and implemented appropriate corrective actions, the inspectors reviewed work request 365420, power fluctuations during a slow-speed start of the A emergency diesel generator.
b. Findings
.1 Failure to Follow Procedures
Introduction: The inspectors identified an unresolved item associated with two events in which maintenance technicians performed maintenance on the A emergency diesel generator (EDG) without pre-planning and performing the activity in accordance with written procedures, documented instructions, or drawings appropriate to the circumstances. This item is unresolved pending further inspection to determine whether
those events rendered the A emergency diesel generator inoperable.
Description: On February 9, after the licensee started the A EDG for a routine surveillance test, operators noted a fuel oil leak of approximately 5 drops/minute from the inboard fitting on the fuel oil line from the duplex filter to the fuel injector for the #1 cylinder. After the control-room staff determined that a leak of that magnitude did not render the EDG inoperable, they completed the surveillance test and then initiated work
request 369565 to repair the leaking fitting. After the test was complete, as directed by a maintenance supervisor, without any written instructions, and without the knowledge of the control-room staff, a maintenance technician tightened the leaking fitting with a wrench and reported to his supervisor "some nut movement". The next day, work order 11 Enclosure 1496721 was first initiated in response to the subject work request and then cancelled with the following annotation; "per the system engineer, there is no concern at this time."
On March 9, after the licensee started the A EDG for another surveillance test, operators
noted a fuel oil leak of approximately 100 drops/minute from the same fitting that had leaked during the February 9 test. While the March 9 test was underway, after Operations asked Maintenance to investigate the leak, and as directed by a maintenance supervisor, a maintenance technician used a wrench to check the fitting for tightness. Although the technician reported no nut movement, as a result of this activity
the leak flow rate increased to what the licensee characterized as "a steady stream." Following this increase in the leak rate, the control-room staff shut down the EDG and declared it inoperable. The licensee initiated a work request to repair the leak, converted that work request to a corresponding work order, and then under that work order replaced the leaking fitting on March 10. After removal, visual examination of the subject fitting revealed that it was cracked. After reviewing the related circumstances, the licensee determined that the February 9 maintenance activity had probably cracked
the fitting.
Because the February 9 maintenance activity and the March 9 maintenance activity both involved maintenance on a safety-related component without any documented instructions, both were performance deficiencies with respect to TS 5.4.1. This TS
requires the licensee to establish, implement, and maintain written procedures covering the applicable procedures in Regulatory Guide 1.33. Regulatory Guide 1.33, Appendix A, section 9, Procedures for Performing Maintenance, states that maintenance that can affect the performance of safety-related equipment should be properly pre-planned and performed in accordance with written procedures, documented instructions, or drawings
appropriate to the circumstances. These performance deficiencies are in the licensee's corrective action program as AR 325384. Planned corrective actions are unknown because the licensee had not completed their investigation of this event before the end of the inspection period.
Further inspection is required to determine whether the A EDG was operable during the period from February 9 through March 10. Specifically, further inspection should review any analyses produced by the licensee and/or evidence gathered by the licensee that relates to the operability of the A EDG during the subject period, and subsequently determine whether those results demonstrate that the A EDG was operable during that
period. Pending completion of that review and determination, this issue is being treated as an unresolved item, and has been designated URI 05000261/2009002-01, "Operability of the A emergency diesel generator from February 9 to March 10, 2009."
.2 Failure to meet required actions for TS 3.8.1 condition B
Introduction: In the circumstances associated with the March 9 inoperability of the A EDG (described above), the inspectors identified a Green non-cited violation of TS 3.8.1 for the licensee's failure to meet the required actions for one inoperable EDG. Within 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> of discovering the inoperable A EDG, the licensee failed to either verify that the other EDG started from standby conditions and achieved acceptable steady-state conditions, or determine that the other EDG is not inoperable due to a common cause.
12 Enclosure Description: On March 9, after control-room operators declared the A EDG inoperable as described above and as required by procedure OP-604, Diesel Generators A & B, Rev. 76, Operations personnel asked Engineering to determine whether the B EDG was also inoperable due to the same cause. In response, Engineering personnel produced a
document that concluded that the B EDG was not inoperable due to a common cause, and Operations personnel accepted that document as an adequate determination of B EDG operability. However, the inspectors noted that the document produced by Engineering identified the cause of the A EDG inoperability as a worn fitting due to normal wear, but did not discuss and evaluate whether similarly-normal wear had not
produced a corresponding similarly-worn fitting on the B EDG. The inspectors therefore determined that the document produced by Engineering and accepted by Operations did not constitute an adequate determination that the B EDG was not inoperable due to a common cause. As a result of Operations accepting that document as an adequate determination that the B EDG was not inoperable due to a common cause, Operations did not verify that the B EDG started from standby conditions and achieved acceptable steady-state conditions. Consequently, at 13:30 on March 10, Operations failed to meet
the required actions of TS 3.8.1 for one inoperable EDG.
Analysis: The performance deficiency was the licensee's failure after declaring the A EDG inoperable to either verify that the B EDG started from standby conditions and achieved acceptable steady-state conditions, or determine that the B EDG was not
inoperable due to a common cause, within 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />. This finding is more-than-minor because if left uncorrected, this finding would become a more significant safety and regulatory concern, in that following a common-cause inoperability of both EDGs and the discovery of the inoperability of one EDG, if left uncorrected this violation could result in the licensee correcting the discovered inoperability of one EDG without correcting the
undiscovered inoperability of the other EDG, such that the other EDG could remain inoperable for longer than its allowed outage time. Using Appendix A of IMC 0609, the significance of this violation was determined to be of very low safety significance (GREEN), because although the violation could degrade the Emergency AC power function in the Mitigating Systems cornerstone, the violation:
- was not a design or qualification deficiency confirmed not to result in loss of operability or functionality,
- did not represent a loss of system safety function,
- did not represent actual loss of safety function of a single Train, for longer than its TS Allowed Outage Time,
- did not represent an actual loss of safety function of one or more non-TS Trains of equipment designated as risk-significant per 10CFR50.65, for >24 hrs, and
- did not screen as potentially risk significant due to a seismic, flooding, or severe weather initiating event, using the criteria on page 5 of the Phase 1 Worksheet.
13 Enclosure This finding has a cross cutting aspect of procedures, as described in the resources component of the Human Performance cross cutting area because the licensee did not ensure that procedures, and other resources were available and adequate to assure nuclear safety as it relates to the EDG common cause analysis procedure. (H.2(c))
Enforcement: TS 3.02 requires, in part, that upon discovery of a failure to meet a limiting condition for operation, the required actions of the associated conditions shall be met.
For TS 3.8.1 condition B (one inoperable EDG), the required actions, in part, are that
within 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> of discovering the inoperable EDG, the licensee must either verify that the other EDG starts from standby conditions and achieves acceptable steady-state conditions, or determine that the other EDG is not inoperable due to a common cause.
Contrary to the above, upon discovery of their failure to meet TS 3.8.1 due to the A EDG being inoperable, the licensee failed to meet the required actions for that condition, in that within 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> of discovering that the A EDG was inoperable, the licensee failed to
either verify that the B EDG started from standby conditions and achieved acceptable steady-state conditions, or determine that the B EDG was not inoperable due to a common cause. The licensee entered this violation into their corrective action program as AR 327363, and thereby initiated action to insert into procedure OP-604 appropriate criteria to describe the required attributes of an adequate determination that an EDG is
not inoperable due to a common cause. Because this violation was of very low safety significance and was entered into the licensee's corrective action program, this violation is being treated as a non-cited violation, consistent with the NRC Enforcement Policy. It has been designated NCV 05000261/2009002-02, "Failure to meet the required actions of TS 3.8.1 for condition B".

Cornerstones: Occupational Radiation Safety (OS) and Public Radiation Safety (PS)
2OS3 Radiation Monitoring Instrumentation and Protective Equipment
a. Inspection Scope
Radiation Monitoring Instrumentation During tours of the reactor auxiliary building (RAB) and Spent Fuel Pool (SFP) areas, the inspectors observed installed radiation detection equipment including the following instrument types: Area Radiation Monitors (ARMs), Continuous Air Monitors (CAMs), Personnel Contamination Monitors (PCMs), and Portal
Monitors (PMs) at the Radiologically Controlled Area (RCA) and Protected Area (PA) exits. The inspectors observed the physical location of the components, noted the
16 Enclosure material condition, and compared sensitivity ranges with Updated Final Safety Analysis Report (UFSAR) details.
In addition to equipment walk-downs, the inspectors observed functional checks and
alarm set-point testing of various fixed and portable detection instruments, including portable ion chambers, teletectors, PCMs, and PMs. The most recent 10 CFR Part 61 analysis for Dry Active Waste (DAW) was reviewed to determine if calibration and check sources were representative of the plant source term. The inspectors reviewed calibration records for selected PCMs, PMs, and Small Article Monitors (SAMs) located
at the RCA exit. Historical calibration records were also reviewed for ARM channels R-32A and R-32B (Containment High-Range detectors), R-4 (Charging Pump Room Area Monitor), and R-5 (SFP Area Monitor). Calibration stickers on portable survey instruments were noted during inspection of storage areas for
Aready-to-use
@ equipment. This inspection did not evaluate the completion and adequacy of radiation survey
instrument calibrations performed by the licensee's central calibration facility located at the Harris Environmental Monitoring Laboratory. These activities are reviewed during the biennial Harris inspection of Inspection Procedure (IP) 71121.03.
Operability and reliability of selected radiation detection instruments were reviewed against details documented in the following: 10 CFR Part 20; NUREG-0737, Clarification of TMI Action Plan Requirements; Technical Specification (TS) Sections 3 and 5; UFSAR Chapter 12; and applicable licensee procedures.

and observed the weekly airborne particulate filter and iodine cartridge change-outs at the ten sample stations specified by the current ODCM. The inspectors directly observed collection and initial preparation of surface water samples at four sampling locations. Also, the inspectors verified location and material condition of 14 environmental thermoluminescent dosimeters. Land use census results, changes to the
19 Enclosure ODCM, and sample collection/processing activities, including missed environmental samples were discussed with environmental technicians and licensee staff.
The inspectors reviewed the last two air flow calibration records for selected
environmental air samplers. The inspectors also reviewed calendar year (CY) 2006 and CY 2007 Radiological Environmental Operating Reports, results of CY 2006 and CY 2007 inter-laboratory cross-check program, and current procedural guidance for environmental sample collection and processing. Selected environmental measurements were reviewed for consistency with licensee effluent data, evaluated for
radionuclide concentration trends, and compared with detection level sensitivity requirements.
Procedural guidance, program implementation, and environmental monitoring results were reviewed against: 10 CFR Part 20; Appendix I to 10 CFR Part 50; TS Section 5.4.1, 5.5.1, and 5.6.2; ODCM; RG 4.15, Quality Assurance for Radiological Monitoring Programs (Normal Operation) - Effluent Streams and the Environment; and the Branch
Technical Position, An Acceptable Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program - 1979. Documents reviewed are listed in Section 2PS3 of the report Attachment.
Meteorological Monitoring Program During tours of the meteorological tower and local data collection equipment, the inspectors observed the physical condition of the tower
and its instruments and discussed equipment operability and maintenance history with the system engineer. The inspectors evaluated transmission of locally generated meteorological data to other licensee groups such as main control room operators. For the meteorological measurements of wind speed, wind direction, and temperature, the inspectors reviewed calibration records for applicable tower instrumentation and
evaluated measurement data recovery for calendar years 2006, 2007, and 2008.
Licensee procedures and activities related to meteorological monitoring were evaluated against: ODCM; UFSAR; ANSI/ANS-2.5-1984, Standard for Determining Meteorological Information at Nuclear Power Sites; and Safety Guide 23, Onsite Meteorological
Programs. Documents reviewed are listed in Section 2PS3 of the report Attachment.
Unrestricted Release of Materials from the Radiologically Controlled Area (RCA) The inspectors observed surveys of material and personnel being released from the RCA using small article monitor, personnel contamination monitor, and portal monitor instruments.

.1 Routine Review of ARs
a. Inspection Scope
To aid in the identification of repetitive equipment failures or specific human performance issues for followup, the inspectors performed frequent screenings of items entered into
the Corrective Action Program (CAP). The review was accomplished by reviewing daily AR reports.
b. Findings
No findings of significance were identified.
.2 Annual Sample Review
a. Inspection Scope
The inspectors selected AR 272388, Significant Condition Not Evaluated, for detailed review. The subject condition was the adequacy of the foreign-material exclusion program. The inspectors selected this AR because it relates generally to the Initiating Events and Mitigating Systems Cornerstones.
The inspectors also selected AR 237010 for detailed review. The subject of this adverse condition was that some maintenance activities had been performed without using the required procedure or with inadequate procedural compliance. The inspectors selected this AR because it relates generally to the Initiating Events and Mitigating Systems
Cornerstones.
The inspectors reviewed these reports to verify:
- complete and accurate identification of the problem in a timely manner; * evaluation and disposition of performance issues; * evaluation and disposition of operability and reportability issues;
- consideration of extent of condition, generic implications, common cause, and previous occurrences; * appropriate classification and prioritization of the problem; * identification of root and contributing causes of the problem;
22 Enclosure * identification of corrective actions which were appropriately focused to correct the problem; and * completion of corrective actions in a timely manner.
The inspectors also reviewed these AR's to verify compliance with the requirements of the CAP as delineated in Procedure CAP-NGGC-0200, Corrective Action Program, and 10 CFR 50, Appendix B. Documents reviewed are listed in the Attachment.
b. Observations and Findings
No findings of significance were identified.
4OA3 Event Follow-up
(Closed) LER 2009-008-02, Manual Reactor Trip Due to High Turbine Vibrations.
a. Inspection Scope
This Licensee Event Report (LER) describes the reactor trip that was previously documented in section 4OA3 of NRC inspection report 05000261/2008005. The inspectors reviewed this LER and related documents to assess the LER's accuracy,
appropriateness of the corrective actions, potential violation of NRC requirements, and generic issues. Documents reviewed are listed in the attachment.
b. Findings
Introduction: The inspectors identified a Green finding for the licensee's failure to provide adequate procedures for maintenance and installation of the main generator and exciter. Consequently, while completing associated maintenance and installation work, licensee personnel incorrectly installed shims under the exciter base and incorrectly installed a refurbished seal on the generator. As a result, the exciter experienced high
vibrations on November 17, 2008, which required the insertion of a manual turbine and reactor trip. Although a violation of regulatory requirements was not identified, this failure was a performance deficiency with respect to the licensee's corporate policy NGGD-0010, "Nuclear Generation Group Policy for a Strong Safety Culture", Revision 0.
Description: The licensee's failure to provide adequate procedures for maintenance and installation of the main generator and exciter was a performance deficiency that allowed maintenance technicians to create conditions that allowed high turbine vibration, which in turn prompted control-room operators on November 17, 2008, to initiate a manual reactor trip. Specifically, the subject procedures did not adequately describe proper installation of shims under the exciter base, and that inadequacy allowed maintenance technicians to improperly install shims in at least two locations, such that the exciter frame under the
- 9 bearing was inadequately supported. Also, the procedures did not require independent verification of critical dimensions associated with hydrogen seal clearances, and that inadequacy allowed maintenance technicians to incorrectly install a hydrogen seal and for their error to not be discovered before that seal was placed into service. Consequently, a hydrogen seal rub contributed to high turbine vibration.
23 Enclosure This failure was a performance deficiency with respect to the licensee's corporate policy NGGD-0010, Nuclear Generation Group Policy for a Strong Safety Culture, Revision 0, in that policy NGGD-0010 requires managers and supervisors to ensure that procedures are adequate to assure nuclear safety. However, the procedures for maintenance and
installation of the main generator and exciter were not adequate to assure nuclear safety, in that inadequacies in those procedures allowed maintenance and installation activities to produce conditions which resulted in a reactor trip.
Analysis: The performance deficiency was the licensee's failure to provide adequate procedures for maintenance and installation of the main generator and exciter. This finding is more-than-minor because it affected the Equipment Performance attribute of the Initiating Events cornerstone, and affected the cornerstone objective of limiting the likelihood of those events that upset plant stability during power operations. When evaluated per Attachment 4 of Manual Chapter 0609, this finding screened to very low safety significance (Green) because it did not contribute to both an initiating event and the likelihood of a loss of mitigating equipment or functions. This finding is in the
licensee's corrective action program as a contributing cause identified in AR 306903. This finding has a cross-cutting aspect of supervisory and management oversight, as described in the Work Practices component of the Human Performance cross cutting area because the licensee failed to provide adequate oversight to the work activities associated with turbine-generator reassembly (H.4(c)).
Enforcement: Enforcement action does not apply because the performance deficiency did not involve a violation of regulatory requirements. Because this finding does not involve a violation of regulatory requirements and has a very low safety significance, it is characterized as a finding and is designated FIN 05000261/2009002-03, "Inadequate
procedures produced conditions which caused a reactor trip".
4OA5 Other Activities
.1 Quarterly Resident Inspector Observations of Security Personnel and Activities
a. Inspection Scope
During the inspection period, the inspectors observed Security force personnel and activities to ensure that the activities were consistent with licensee security procedures
and regulatory requirements relating to nuclear plant security. These observations took place during both normal and off-normal plant working hours.
These quarterly resident inspector observations of security force personnel and activities did not constitute any additional inspection samples. Rather, they were considered an integral part of the inspectors' normal plant status review and inspection activities.
b. Findings
No findings of significance were indentified.
