Ginna facility. The enclosed report documents the inspection results which were discussed on June 23, 2006, 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 Commissions 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 NRC identified one finding of very low safety significance (Green) that was a violation of NRC requirements. However, because of the very low safety significance and because it is entered into your corrective action program, the NRC is treating this finding as a non-cited violation (NCV) consistent with Section VI.A.1 of the NRC Enforcement Policy. If you contest the NCV in this report, you should provide a response within 30 days of the date of this inspection report, with the basis for your denial, to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, ATTN: Document Control Desk, Washington, DC 20555-0001 with copies to the Regional Administrator Region I, the Director, Office of Enforcement, United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555-0001, and the NRC Resident Inspector at the Ginna Nuclear Power Plant. | |||
The enclosed report also documented two noncompliances that were identified by your staff during the NFPA 805 transition period. The NRC is not taking any enforcement actions for these noncompliances because the conditions for these noncompliances meet the four criteria (licensee-identified, compensatory actions have been taken, not likely to have been previously identified by routine licensee efforts, and not willful) of NRC Enforcement Policy, Interim Enforcement Policies, Interim Enforcement Policy Regarding Enforcement Discretion for Certain Fire Protection Issues (10 CFR 50.48), and are not associated with a finding of high safety significance. | |||
In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 of the NRC's "Rules of Practice," a copy of this letter, its enclosure, and your response (if any) will be available electronically for public inspection in the NRC Public Document Room or from the Publicly Available Records (PARS) component of NRCs document system (ADAMS).

Background This report presents the results of a triennial fire protection inspection conducted in accordance with NRC Inspection Procedure (IP) 71111.05TTP, Fire Protection. The objective of the inspection was to assess whether Constellation Energy has implemented an adequate fire protection program and that post-fire safe shutdown capabilities have been established and are being properly maintained at the R. E. Ginna Nuclear Power Plant facility. The following fire areas (FAs) were selected for detailed review based on risk insights from the Individual Plant Examination (IPE)/ Individual Plant Examination of External Events (IPEEE): | |||
Fire Area RRA, Fire Area CHG, Fire Area EDG1B-0, Fire Area IBS-1. | |||
The inspection team evaluated the licensees fire protection program (FPP) against applicable requirements which include plant Technical Specifications, Operating License Condition 2.C.3, NRC Safety Evaluations, 10 CFR 50.48 and 10 CFR 50 Appendix R. The team also reviewed related documents that include the Updated Final Safety Analysis Report (UFSAR) Section 9.5, the Fire Hazards Analysis (FHA) and the Post-Fire Safe Shutdown | |||

Methodology The team reviewed the safe shutdown analysis, operating procedures, piping and instrumentation drawings (P&IDs), electrical drawings, the UFSAR and other supporting documents to verify that hot and cold shutdown could be achieved and maintained from outside the control room for fires that rely on shutdown from outside the control room. | |||
This review included verification that shutdown from outside the control room could be performed both with and without the availability of offsite power. Plant walkdowns were also performed to verify that the plant configuration was consistent with that described in the safe shutdown and fire hazards analyses. These inspection activities focused on ensuring the adequacy of systems selected for reactivity control, reactor coolant makeup, reactor decay heat removal, process monitoring instrumentation and support systems functions. The team verified that the systems and components credited for use during this shutdown method would remain free from fire damage. | |||
Similarly, for fire areas that utilize shutdown from the control room, the team also verified that the shutdown methodology properly identified the components and systems necessary to achieve and maintain safe shutdown conditions. | |||
Operational Implementation The team verified that the training program for licensed and non-licensed operators included alternative shutdown capability. The team also verified that personnel required for safe shutdown using the normal or alternative shutdown systems and procedures are trained and available onsite at all times, exclusive of those assigned as fire brigade members. | |||
The team reviewed the adequacy of procedures utilized for post-fire shutdown and performed an independent walk through of procedure steps to ensure the implementation and human factors adequacy of the procedures. The team also verified that the operators could be reasonably expected to perform specific actions within the time required to maintain plant parameters within specified limits. Time critical actions which were verified included restoration of AC electrical power, establishing the remote shutdown and local shutdown panels, establishing reactor coolant makeup, and establishing decay heat removal. | |||
Specific procedures reviewed for alternative shutdown, including shutdown from outside the control room included the following: | |||
C ER-FIRE.1, Alternate Shutdown For Control Complex Fire, Revision 20 C FRP-4.0, Auxiliary Building Basement, Revision 5 C FRP-8.0, Intermediate Building Controlled Side Basement, Revision 5 C ER-FIRE.6, Response To Fire In D/G B Vault, Revision 2 C O-2.1, Normal Shutdown To Hot Shutdown, Revision 120 C ER-FIRE.0, CR Response To Fire Alarms and Reports, Revision 6 The team reviewed manual actions to ensure that they could be implemented in accordance with plant procedures in the time necessary to support the safe shutdown method for each fire area. The team verified that the licensee had identified operator manual actions for post-fire safe-shutdown and had plans in place to assess them as part of the plant wide risk evaluation for transition to NFPA 805, Performance-Based Standard for Fire Protection for Light Water Reactor Electric Generating Plants, 2001 Edition. The team also reviewed the periodic testing of the alternative shutdown transfer capability and instrumentation and control functions to ensure the tests are adequate to ensure the functionality of the alternative shutdown capability. | |||

It is noted, as directed by and in accordance with the inspection procedure, that no fire areas have been completely assessed at the time of this inspection. | ||
The team reviewed the licensee procedures and programs for the control of ignition sources and transient combustibles to assess their effectiveness in preventing fires and in controlling combustible loading within limits established in the FHA. A sample of hot work and transient combustible control permits were also reviewed. The team performed plant walkdowns to verify that protective features were being properly maintained and administrative controls were being implemented. | |||
The team also reviewed the licensees design control procedures to ensure that the process included appropriate reviews and controls to assess plant changes for any potential adverse impact on the fire protection program and/or post-fire safe shutdown analysis and procedures. | |||

This included verification that the manual and automatic detection and suppression systems were installed, tested and maintained in accordance with the NFPA code of record and that they would control and/or extinguish fires associated with the hazards in the selected areas. A review of the design capability of suppression agent delivery systems were verified to meet the code requirements for the fire hazards involved. The team also performed a walkdown of accessible portions of the detection and suppressions systems in the selected areas as well as a walkdown of major system support equipment in other areas (e.g. fire protection pumps, Halon and/or CO2 storage tanks and supply system) as assess the material condition of the systems and components. | ||
The team reviewed electric and diesel fire pump flow and pressure tests to ensure that the pumps were meeting their design requirements. The team also reviewed the fire main loop flow tests to ensure that the flow distribution circuits were able to meet the design requirements. | |||
The team also assessed the fire brigade capabilities by reviewing training and qualification records, and drill critique records. The team also reviewed pre-fire plans and smoke removal plans for the selected fire areas to determine if appropriate information was provided to fire brigade members and plant operators to identify safe shutdown equipment and instrumentation, and to facilitate suppression of a fire that could impact post-fire safe shutdown. In addition, the team inspected the fire brigades protective ensembles, self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA), and various fire brigade equipment (including smoke removal equipment) to determine operational readiness for fire fighting. | |||
====b. Findings==== | ====b. Findings==== | ||
=====Introduction.===== | =====Introduction.===== | ||
The team identified a Green NCV regarding the training program for | The team identified a Green NCV regarding the training program for onsite fire brigade personnel under Constellations fire protection program. Specifically, Constellation failed to provide the required quarterly training to five fire brigade members in the fourth quarter of 2005, and subsequently failed to remove those personnel from fire brigade duty during the period from January 1, 2006, to the time when those brigade members received their remedial training. | ||
=====Description.===== | |||
During the inspection, the team requested quarterly training documents for four randomly selected fire brigade members for calendar year 2005. Ginnas fire brigade training program is executed by covering relative topics over a two-year cycle via quarterly training sessions. Further, Constellation evaluates each fire brigade members level of knowledge through biannual examinations in the second and fourth quarters of each calendar year. Constellation determined that one of the four randomly-selected fire brigade members did not receive the quarterly classroom training or evaluation in the fourth quarter of 2005. An extent of condition search resulted in the identification of four additional fire brigade members without objective quality evidence of the fourth quarter training or examinations. Therefore, as a result of the inspection, five fire brigade members were identified as having missed the fourth quarter training and examination. | |||
Site procedure ND-FPP, Fire Protection Program, Revision10, section 3.2.1, states in part that the protection of personnel, facilities, structures, systems, and components (SSC) at Ginna Station from hazards due to fire is planned and executed per procedures. Procedure A-202, The Fire Protection Program and Ginna Station Staff Responsibilities for Fire Protection, Revision 21, section 3.6.3, states in part that training shall be based on NFPA Standard 27.... and conducted at least quarterly for brigade members. NFPA 27-1981, section 4-3, states in part that brigade members should be required to complete a specified program of instruction as a condition to membership in the brigade. Procedure A-103.9, Fire Brigade Training, Revision 18, section 3.3.1, states that an individual not attending the required quarterly training shall be removed from brigade duty until such time that the next training session can be attended. Constellation clarified, during the inspection, that the next training session meant a remedial training which would include an examination for the second and fourth quarter training. | |||
=====Analysis.===== | |||
The failure to provide training to five fire brigade members and the subsequent failure to remove those personnel from fire brigade duty is a performance deficiency and a finding. The licensee determined that there were three occasions where up to three of the fire brigade members who failed to received the fourth quarter training in 2005 were on brigade duty (shift) at the same time. Traditional enforcement does not apply since there were no actual safety consequences or potential for impacting the NRCs regulatory function and the finding was not the result of any willful violation of NRC requirements. The finding is more than minor because the finding is associated with the Mitigating System cornerstone attribute of protection against external factors and affected the cornerstone objective of ensuring the availability, reliability and capability of systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences. Additionally, the finding is similar to example 4.h of IMC 0612, Appendix E in that not all fire brigade positions were staffed with appropriately trained (qualified) members. The Assumptions and Limitations of the Fire Protection Significance Determination Process (SDP), IMC 0609, Appendix F, specifically exclude fire brigade issues. As such, IMC 0612, Section 05.04.c, requires NRC management review to determine the significance of this finding. NRC management determined this finding to be of very low safety significance (Green). Fire brigade performance was not significantly affected, given staffing, at times, by members that lacked a single quarter of training, because the entire brigade staff had completed the annual live-fire practice sessions. | |||
This finding is a performance deficiency and has a human performance cross-cutting aspect, because Constellation training personnel failed to ensure that all fire brigade members were adequately trained in accordance with procedural requirements, and Constellation management subsequently failed to remove those fire fighting personnel who were not properly trained from fire brigade duty. | |||
=====Enforcement.===== | |||
License condition 2.C.3 requires that Constellation implement and maintain in effect all fire protection features as approved by the NRCs Fire Protection Safety Evaluation (SE) and SE supplements. Site procedure ND-FPP states in part that the following documents... are utilized to implement the Fire Protection Program requirements: Ginna Station Procedures. Procedure A-202 requires training be provided at least quarterly to fire brigade members and Procedure A 103.9 requires an individual not attending the required quarterly training be removed from brigade duty until such time that the next training session can be attended. Contrary to the above, Constellation failed to provide the required quarterly training to five brigade members in the fourth quarter of calendar year 2005, and subsequently failed to remove those personnel from fire brigade duty for the period of January 01, 2006, to June 19, 2006, before those brigade members received their remedial training. Upon identification of this finding, Constellation removed all five personnel from fire brigade duties, performed remedial training and evaluated them via examination prior to returning them to duty-eligible status. Further, Constellation initiated a prompt investigation and entered this finding into their corrective action program under CR 2006-2518. This violation is being treated as a Non-Cited Violation, consistent with Section VI.A.1 of the NRC Enforcement Policy. (NCV 05000244/2006007-01, Missed Fire Brigade Training). | |||

The team verified that the licensee was identifying fire protection and post-fire | The team verified that the licensee was identifying fire protection and post-fire safe shutdown issues at an appropriate threshold and entering them into the corrective action program. The team also reviewed a sample of selected issues to verify that the licensee had taken or planned appropriate corrective actions. | ||
In addition, the team reviewed condition report CR-2006-002099 which documented a licensee-identified design deficiency that fire induced spurious actions in the control circuitry of 480V Bus 14 undervoltage relays could cause the A Charging Pump circuit breaker to be in a tripped condition, preventing the pump from starting when it is required to be operable for hot shutdown. Since the A Charging Pump is the only credited charging pump for post-fire safe shutdown outside the control room, the safe shutdown capability could be impacted. The licensee determined this to be an unanalyzed condition and made an eight-hour notification to the NRC on May 18, 2006. | |||
The licensees preliminary evaluation indicated that this issue could cause an increase in core damage frequency of approximately 1.2E-07 per year. | |||
Subsequently, during the extent of condition investigation, the licensee also identified (documented in CR 2006-002219) that fire induced spurious actions in the control circuitry of a relay associated with the safety injection signal could also have the same result, and that these spurious actions could also cause the standby auxiliary feedwater pumps (SAFP) to be inoperable. The SAFPs are required for safe shutdown when the auxiliary feedwater pumps or the condensate storage tank are affected by a fire. | |||
The licensee initiated the necessary compensatory actions for correcting these problems by adding steps to three post-fire response procedures to defeat the potential fire induced spurious actions by removing the fuses of alternate DC power supplies to the affected relay control circuits. During the inspection, the team reviewed the following three affected procedures and verified that the necessary steps were incorporated into the procedures: | |||
ER.FIRE.1 Alternate Shutdown For Control Complex Fire, Revision 20 ER.FIRE.4 Alternate Shutdown For Battery Room A Fire, Revision 16 ER.FIRE.5 Alternate Shutdown For Battery Room B Fire, Revision 18 | |||

SUBJECT:
GINNA NUCLEAR POWER PLANT- NRC TRIENNIAL FIRE PROTECTION INSPECTION REPORT 05000244/2006007
Dear Mrs. Korsnick:
On June 23, 2006, the NRC completed a triennial fire protection team inspection at your R. E.
Ginna facility. The enclosed report documents the inspection results which were discussed on June 23, 2006, 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 Commissions 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 NRC identified one finding of very low safety significance (Green) that was a violation of NRC requirements. However, because of the very low safety significance and because it is entered into your corrective action program, the NRC is treating this finding as a non-cited violation (NCV) consistent with Section VI.A.1 of the NRC Enforcement Policy. If you contest the NCV in this report, you should provide a response within 30 days of the date of this inspection report, with the basis for your denial, to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, ATTN: Document Control Desk, Washington, DC 20555-0001 with copies to the Regional Administrator Region I, the Director, Office of Enforcement, United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555-0001, and the NRC Resident Inspector at the Ginna Nuclear Power Plant.
The enclosed report also documented two noncompliances that were identified by your staff during the NFPA 805 transition period. The NRC is not taking any enforcement actions for these noncompliances because the conditions for these noncompliances meet the four criteria (licensee-identified, compensatory actions have been taken, not likely to have been previously identified by routine licensee efforts, and not willful) of NRC Enforcement Policy, Interim Enforcement Policies, Interim Enforcement Policy Regarding Enforcement Discretion for Certain Fire Protection Issues (10 CFR 50.48), and are not associated with a finding of high safety significance.
In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 of the NRC's "Rules of Practice," a copy of this letter, its enclosure, and your response (if any) will be available electronically for public inspection in the NRC Public Document Room or from the Publicly Available Records (PARS) component of NRCs document system (ADAMS). ADAMS is accessible from the NRC Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/ADAMS.html (the Public Electronic Reading Room).
Sincerely,
/RA/

SUMMARY OF FINDINGS
IR 05000244/2006007 on 06/05 - 23/ 2006, Ginna Nuclear Power Plant; Triennial Fire
Protection Team Inspection, Fire Protection.
This report covered a two-week triennial fire protection team inspection by three Region I specialist inspectors and one inspector trainee. One Green non-cited violation (NCV) was 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 NRCs program for overseeing the safe operation of commercial nuclear power reactors is described in NUREG-1649, Reactor Oversight Process,
Revision 3, dated July 2000.
NRC-Identified Findings
Cornerstone: Mitigating Systems
- Green.
The team identified an NCV of license condition 2.C.3 for the failure to implement and maintain in effect all fire protection features. Specifically, Constellation failed to provide the required quarterly training to five fire brigade members in the fourth quarter of 2005, and subsequently failed to remove those personnel from fire brigade duty during the period from January 1, 2006, to the time when those brigade members received their remedial training. Site procedures require that fire brigade members attend quarterly classroom training, and that fire brigade members who fail to attend such training be removed from brigade duties until they attend remedial training. Upon identification of this finding, Constellation removed all five personnel from fire brigade duties until properly trained, initiated a prompt investigation and entered this finding into their corrective action program.
The finding is more than minor because the finding is associated with the Mitigating System cornerstone attribute of protection against external factors and affected the cornerstone objective of ensuring the availability, reliability and capability of systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences. The Assumptions and Limitations of the Fire Protection Significance Determination Process (SDP), IMC 0609, Appendix F, specifically exclude fire brigade issues. As such, IMC 0612, Section 05.04.c, requires NRC management review to determine the significance of this finding.
NRC management determined this finding to be of very low safety significance (Green).
Fire brigade performance was not significantly affected, given staffing, at times, by members that lacked a single quarter of training, because the entire brigade staff had completed the annual live-fire practice sessions. (Section 1R05.04)
Licensee-Identified Violations
None.

REPORT DETAILS
Background This report presents the results of a triennial fire protection inspection conducted in accordance with NRC Inspection Procedure (IP) 71111.05TTP, Fire Protection. The objective of the inspection was to assess whether Constellation Energy has implemented an adequate fire protection program and that post-fire safe shutdown capabilities have been established and are being properly maintained at the R. E. Ginna Nuclear Power Plant facility. The following fire areas (FAs) were selected for detailed review based on risk insights from the Individual Plant Examination (IPE)/ Individual Plant Examination of External Events (IPEEE):

.01 Post-Fire Safe Shutdown From Outside Main Control Room (Alternative Shutdown) and
Normal Shutdown
a. Inspection Scope
Methodology The team reviewed the safe shutdown analysis, operating procedures, piping and instrumentation drawings (P&IDs), electrical drawings, the UFSAR and other supporting documents to verify that hot and cold shutdown could be achieved and maintained from outside the control room for fires that rely on shutdown from outside the control room.
This review included verification that shutdown from outside the control room could be performed both with and without the availability of offsite power. Plant walkdowns were also performed to verify that the plant configuration was consistent with that described in the safe shutdown and fire hazards analyses. These inspection activities focused on ensuring the adequacy of systems selected for reactivity control, reactor coolant makeup, reactor decay heat removal, process monitoring instrumentation and support systems functions. The team verified that the systems and components credited for use during this shutdown method would remain free from fire damage.
Similarly, for fire areas that utilize shutdown from the control room, the team also verified that the shutdown methodology properly identified the components and systems necessary to achieve and maintain safe shutdown conditions.
Operational Implementation The team verified that the training program for licensed and non-licensed operators included alternative shutdown capability. The team also verified that personnel required for safe shutdown using the normal or alternative shutdown systems and procedures are trained and available onsite at all times, exclusive of those assigned as fire brigade members.
The team reviewed the adequacy of procedures utilized for post-fire shutdown and performed an independent walk through of procedure steps to ensure the implementation and human factors adequacy of the procedures. The team also verified that the operators could be reasonably expected to perform specific actions within the time required to maintain plant parameters within specified limits. Time critical actions which were verified included restoration of AC electrical power, establishing the remote shutdown and local shutdown panels, establishing reactor coolant makeup, and establishing decay heat removal.
Specific procedures reviewed for alternative shutdown, including shutdown from outside the control room included the following:
C ER-FIRE.1, Alternate Shutdown For Control Complex Fire, Revision 20 C FRP-4.0, Auxiliary Building Basement, Revision 5 C FRP-8.0, Intermediate Building Controlled Side Basement, Revision 5 C ER-FIRE.6, Response To Fire In D/G B Vault, Revision 2 C O-2.1, Normal Shutdown To Hot Shutdown, Revision 120 C ER-FIRE.0, CR Response To Fire Alarms and Reports, Revision 6 The team reviewed manual actions to ensure that they could be implemented in accordance with plant procedures in the time necessary to support the safe shutdown method for each fire area. The team verified that the licensee had identified operator manual actions for post-fire safe-shutdown and had plans in place to assess them as part of the plant wide risk evaluation for transition to NFPA 805, Performance-Based Standard for Fire Protection for Light Water Reactor Electric Generating Plants, 2001 Edition. The team also reviewed the periodic testing of the alternative shutdown transfer capability and instrumentation and control functions to ensure the tests are adequate to ensure the functionality of the alternative shutdown capability.
b. Findings
No findings of significance were identified.
.02 Protection of Safe Shutdown Capabilities
b. Inspection Scope
The team reviewed the fire hazards analysis, safe shutdown analyses and supporting drawings and documentation to verify that safe shutdown capabilities were properly protected. Under the NFPA 805 Transition Period inspection procedure, the inspection team is to validate 1 to 3 nonconformances identified in the licensees transitional assessment of their fire areas. It is noted, as directed by and in accordance with the inspection procedure, that no fire areas have been completely assessed at the time of this inspection.
The team reviewed the licensee procedures and programs for the control of ignition sources and transient combustibles to assess their effectiveness in preventing fires and in controlling combustible loading within limits established in the FHA. A sample of hot work and transient combustible control permits were also reviewed. The team performed plant walkdowns to verify that protective features were being properly maintained and administrative controls were being implemented.
The team also reviewed the licensees design control procedures to ensure that the process included appropriate reviews and controls to assess plant changes for any potential adverse impact on the fire protection program and/or post-fire safe shutdown analysis and procedures.
b. Findings
No findings of significance were identified.
.03 Passive Fire Protection
a. Inspection Scope
The team walked down accessible portions of the selected fire areas to observe material condition and the adequacy of design of fire area boundaries (including walls, fire doors and fire dampers) to ensure they were appropriate for the fire hazards in the area.
The team reviewed installation/repair and qualification records for a sample of penetration seals to ensure the fill material was of the appropriate fire rating and that the installation met the engineering design.
b. Findings
No findings of significance were identified.
.04 Active Fire Protection
b. Inspection Scope
The team reviewed the design, maintenance, testing and operation of the fire detection and suppression systems in the selected plant fire areas. This included verification that the manual and automatic detection and suppression systems were installed, tested and maintained in accordance with the NFPA code of record and that they would control and/or extinguish fires associated with the hazards in the selected areas. A review of the design capability of suppression agent delivery systems were verified to meet the code requirements for the fire hazards involved. The team also performed a walkdown of accessible portions of the detection and suppressions systems in the selected areas as well as a walkdown of major system support equipment in other areas (e.g. fire protection pumps, Halon and/or CO2 storage tanks and supply system) as assess the material condition of the systems and components.
The team reviewed electric and diesel fire pump flow and pressure tests to ensure that the pumps were meeting their design requirements. The team also reviewed the fire main loop flow tests to ensure that the flow distribution circuits were able to meet the design requirements.
The team also assessed the fire brigade capabilities by reviewing training and qualification records, and drill critique records. The team also reviewed pre-fire plans and smoke removal plans for the selected fire areas to determine if appropriate information was provided to fire brigade members and plant operators to identify safe shutdown equipment and instrumentation, and to facilitate suppression of a fire that could impact post-fire safe shutdown. In addition, the team inspected the fire brigades protective ensembles, self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA), and various fire brigade equipment (including smoke removal equipment) to determine operational readiness for fire fighting.
b. Findings
Introduction.
The team identified a Green NCV regarding the training program for onsite fire brigade personnel under Constellations fire protection program. Specifically, Constellation failed to provide the required quarterly training to five fire brigade members in the fourth quarter of 2005, and subsequently failed to remove those personnel from fire brigade duty during the period from January 1, 2006, to the time when those brigade members received their remedial training.
Description.
During the inspection, the team requested quarterly training documents for four randomly selected fire brigade members for calendar year 2005. Ginnas fire brigade training program is executed by covering relative topics over a two-year cycle via quarterly training sessions. Further, Constellation evaluates each fire brigade members level of knowledge through biannual examinations in the second and fourth quarters of each calendar year. Constellation determined that one of the four randomly-selected fire brigade members did not receive the quarterly classroom training or evaluation in the fourth quarter of 2005. An extent of condition search resulted in the identification of four additional fire brigade members without objective quality evidence of the fourth quarter training or examinations. Therefore, as a result of the inspection, five fire brigade members were identified as having missed the fourth quarter training and examination.
Site procedure ND-FPP, Fire Protection Program, Revision10, section 3.2.1, states in part that the protection of personnel, facilities, structures, systems, and components (SSC) at Ginna Station from hazards due to fire is planned and executed per procedures. Procedure A-202, The Fire Protection Program and Ginna Station Staff Responsibilities for Fire Protection, Revision 21, section 3.6.3, states in part that training shall be based on NFPA Standard 27.... and conducted at least quarterly for brigade members. NFPA 27-1981, section 4-3, states in part that brigade members should be required to complete a specified program of instruction as a condition to membership in the brigade. Procedure A-103.9, Fire Brigade Training, Revision 18, section 3.3.1, states that an individual not attending the required quarterly training shall be removed from brigade duty until such time that the next training session can be attended. Constellation clarified, during the inspection, that the next training session meant a remedial training which would include an examination for the second and fourth quarter training.
Analysis.
The failure to provide training to five fire brigade members and the subsequent failure to remove those personnel from fire brigade duty is a performance deficiency and a finding. The licensee determined that there were three occasions where up to three of the fire brigade members who failed to received the fourth quarter training in 2005 were on brigade duty (shift) at the same time. Traditional enforcement does not apply since there were no actual safety consequences or potential for impacting the NRCs regulatory function and the finding was not the result of any willful violation of NRC requirements. The finding is more than minor because the finding is associated with the Mitigating System cornerstone attribute of protection against external factors and affected the cornerstone objective of ensuring the availability, reliability and capability of systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences. Additionally, the finding is similar to example 4.h of IMC 0612, Appendix E in that not all fire brigade positions were staffed with appropriately trained (qualified) members. The Assumptions and Limitations of the Fire Protection Significance Determination Process (SDP), IMC 0609, Appendix F, specifically exclude fire brigade issues. As such, IMC 0612, Section 05.04.c, requires NRC management review to determine the significance of this finding. NRC management determined this finding to be of very low safety significance (Green). Fire brigade performance was not significantly affected, given staffing, at times, by members that lacked a single quarter of training, because the entire brigade staff had completed the annual live-fire practice sessions.
This finding is a performance deficiency and has a human performance cross-cutting aspect, because Constellation training personnel failed to ensure that all fire brigade members were adequately trained in accordance with procedural requirements, and Constellation management subsequently failed to remove those fire fighting personnel who were not properly trained from fire brigade duty.
Enforcement.
License condition 2.C.3 requires that Constellation implement and maintain in effect all fire protection features as approved by the NRCs Fire Protection Safety Evaluation (SE) and SE supplements. Site procedure ND-FPP states in part that the following documents... are utilized to implement the Fire Protection Program requirements: Ginna Station Procedures. Procedure A-202 requires training be provided at least quarterly to fire brigade members and Procedure A 103.9 requires an individual not attending the required quarterly training be removed from brigade duty until such time that the next training session can be attended. Contrary to the above, Constellation failed to provide the required quarterly training to five brigade members in the fourth quarter of calendar year 2005, and subsequently failed to remove those personnel from fire brigade duty for the period of January 01, 2006, to June 19, 2006, before those brigade members received their remedial training. Upon identification of this finding, Constellation removed all five personnel from fire brigade duties, performed remedial training and evaluated them via examination prior to returning them to duty-eligible status. Further, Constellation initiated a prompt investigation and entered this finding into their corrective action program under CR 2006-2518. This violation is being treated as a Non-Cited Violation, consistent with Section VI.A.1 of the NRC Enforcement Policy. (NCV 05000244/2006007-01, Missed Fire Brigade Training).
.05 Protection From Damage From Fire Suppression Activities
a. Inspection Scope
The team performed document reviews and plant walkdowns to verify that redundant trains of systems required for hot shutdown are not subject to damage from fire suppression activities or from the rupture or inadvertent operation of fire suppression systems. Specifically, the team verified that:
C A fire in one of the selected fire areas would not directly, through production of smoke, heat or hot gases, cause activation of suppression systems that could potentially damage all redundant trains.
C A fire in one of the selected fire areas (or the inadvertent actuation or rupture of a fire suppression system) would not directly cause damage to all redundant trains (e.g., sprinkler caused flooding of other than the locally affected train).
C Adequate drainage is provided in areas protected by water suppression systems
b. Findings
No findings of significance were identified.
.06 Alternative Shutdown Capability
a. Inspection Scope
Alternative shutdown capability for the areas selected for inspection utilizes shutdown from outside the control room and is discussed in Section 1R05.01 of this report.
.07 Circuit Analyses
This topic was not inspected for plant in NFPA 805 transition.
.08 Communications
a. Inspection Scope
The team reviewed safe shutdown procedures, the safe shutdown analysis and associated documents to verify an adequate method of communications would be available to plant operators following a fire. During this review the team considered the effects of ambient noise levels, clarity of reception, reliability and coverage patterns.
The team also inspected the designated emergency storage lockers to verify the availability of portable radios for the fire brigade and for plant operators. The inspectors also verified that communications equipment such as repeaters, transmitters, etc. would not be affected by a fire.
b. Findings
No findings of significance were identified.
.09 Emergency Lighting
c. Inspection Scope
The team observed the placement and coverage area of eight-hour emergency lights throughout the selected fire areas to evaluate their adequacy for illuminating access and egress pathways and any equipment requiring local operation and/or instrumentation monitoring for post-fire safe shutdown. The team also verified that the battery power supplies were rated for at least an 8 hour9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br /> capacity. Preventive maintenance procedures and various documents, including the vendors manual and completed surveillance tests were reviewed to ensure adequate surveillance testing and periodic battery replacements were in place to ensure reliable operation of the eight-hour emergency lights and that the emergency lighting units were being maintained consistent with the manufacturers recommendations and accepted industry practices.
b. Findings
No findings of significance were identified.
.10 Cold Shutdown Repairs
a. Inspection Scope
The team verified that the licensee had dedicated repair procedures, equipment, and materials to accomplish repairs of components required for cold shutdown which might be damaged by the fire to ensure cold shutdown could be achieved within the time frames specified in their design and licensing bases. The inspectors verified that the repair equipment, components, tools and materials (e.g. pre-cut cables with prepared attachment lugs) were available and accessible on site.
b. Findings
No findings of significance were identified.
.11 Compensatory Measures
a. Inspection Scope
The team verified that compensatory measures were in place for out-of-service, degraded or inoperable fire protection and post-fire safe shutdown equipment, systems, or features (e.g., detection and suppression systems and equipment, passive fire barriers, pumps, valves or electrical devices providing safe shutdown functions or capabilities). The team also verified that the short term compensatory measures compensated for the degraded function or feature until appropriate corrective action could be taken and that Constellation was effective in returning the equipment to service in a reasonable period of time.
b. Findings
No findings of significance were identified.
OTHER ACTIVITIES
4OA2 Identification and Resolution of Problems
.01 Corrective Actions for Fire Protection Deficiencies
a. Inspection Scope
The team verified that the licensee was identifying fire protection and post-fire safe shutdown issues at an appropriate threshold and entering them into the corrective action program. The team also reviewed a sample of selected issues to verify that the licensee had taken or planned appropriate corrective actions.
In addition, the team reviewed condition report CR-2006-002099 which documented a licensee-identified design deficiency that fire induced spurious actions in the control circuitry of 480V Bus 14 undervoltage relays could cause the A Charging Pump circuit breaker to be in a tripped condition, preventing the pump from starting when it is required to be operable for hot shutdown. Since the A Charging Pump is the only credited charging pump for post-fire safe shutdown outside the control room, the safe shutdown capability could be impacted. The licensee determined this to be an unanalyzed condition and made an eight-hour notification to the NRC on May 18, 2006.
The licensees preliminary evaluation indicated that this issue could cause an increase in core damage frequency of approximately 1.2E-07 per year.
Subsequently, during the extent of condition investigation, the licensee also identified (documented in CR 2006-002219) that fire induced spurious actions in the control circuitry of a relay associated with the safety injection signal could also have the same result, and that these spurious actions could also cause the standby auxiliary feedwater pumps (SAFP) to be inoperable. The SAFPs are required for safe shutdown when the auxiliary feedwater pumps or the condensate storage tank are affected by a fire.
The licensee initiated the necessary compensatory actions for correcting these problems by adding steps to three post-fire response procedures to defeat the potential fire induced spurious actions by removing the fuses of alternate DC power supplies to the affected relay control circuits. During the inspection, the team reviewed the following three affected procedures and verified that the necessary steps were incorporated into the procedures:
ER.FIRE.1 Alternate Shutdown For Control Complex Fire, Revision 20 ER.FIRE.4 Alternate Shutdown For Battery Room A Fire, Revision 16 ER.FIRE.5 Alternate Shutdown For Battery Room B Fire, Revision 18
b. Findings
No findings of significance were identified. No enforcement action is required for the above noncompliances (10 CFR 50, Appendix R, III.G.3 for Charging Pump A issue, and 10 CFR 50, Appendix R, III.G.2 for the SAFPs issue) because the conditions of these noncompliances meet the four criteria (licensee-identified, compensatory actions have been taken, not likely to have been previously identified by routine licensee efforts, and not willful) of NRC Enforcement Policy, Interim Enforcement Policies, Interim Enforcement Policy Regarding Enforcement Discretion for Certain Fire Protection Issues (10 CFR 50.48), and are not associated with a finding of high safety significance.
