(2) LER 05000287/2018-002-01, Actuation of the Keowee Hydroelectric Station Due to Loss of AC Power to the Unit 3 Main Feeder Buses

INSPECTION RESULTS

Observation: Semi-Annual Trend Review 71152 Inspectors identified a negative trend in human and equipment performance associated with inspection and maintaining readiness of emergency response equipment such as fire extinguishers, fire hose reels, fire brigade turnout gear, and emergency lighting stored in emergency equipment lockers. Nuclear Condition Reports 2273853, 2273814, 2271810, 2267309, 2260693, 2255541, 2253667, 2252769, and 2193141 were referenced. Because these various issues were identified by personnel from outside organizations and departments or were discovered by the fire brigade once the equipment was attempted to be used during a drill, the issues indicated there was a weakness in the routine inspection and maintenance of the equipment. One other notable trend was identified by the licensee in NCR 2276467 regarding subtle indicators that operator procedure use and adherence may be declining from station goals and standards. The licensee is developing an action plan to improve performance in this area.

Failure to Verify Adequacy of Design of LPSW System for Auxiliary Building Flooding Cornerstone Significance Cross- Report Cutting Section Aspect Mitigating Green NPP 71111.06 Systems NCV 05000269,05000270,05000287/2019002-01 Open/Closed Inspectors identified a Green NCV of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion III, Design Control, when the licensee failed to verify the adequacy of design of the LPSW system. Specifically, design review calculation OSC-8671, Auxiliary Building Flood Design Values, failed to ensure safety-related equipment would not be adversely impacted by failure of non-seismic LPSW piping in the auxiliary building.

Description:

Updated Final Safety Analysis Report Chapter 3.4.1.1.1, Current Flood Protection Measures for Turbine and Auxiliary Buildings stated that the auxiliary building could be subject to flooding from a single break in the non-seismic portions of the LPSW system and that these portions are isolated, or flow limited to allow operators sufficient time to identify and isolate the source. The section also stated that operator response times were tested to ensure flood mitigation can occur before safety related equipment is adversely affected. Design review calculation OSC-8671, Revision 7, established acceptance criteria related to auxiliary building flooding by verifying that safety-related equipment was adequately protected from internal flooding based on the ability of the operators to identify and isolate a postulated break in 45 minutes.

On March 7, 2019, inspectors identified several non-conservative evaluations within OSC-8671 for the LPSW system. These evaluations determined flooding rates for certain break locations but did not consistently consider flow from both ends of a failed pipe and the multiple sources that could supply the failure location. When considered, safety-related equipment could be adversely affected before the design basis operator response time of 45 minutes expired. Specifically: 1) The Unit 3 high pressure injection (HPI) pumps were estimated to be affected by flooding after 19 minutes, 2) The Unit 1/2 HPI pumps were estimated to be affected by flooding after 36 minutes, and 3) The Unit 3 A reactor building spray (RBS) pump (in the Unit 3 A low pressure injection (LPI) pump room) was estimated to be affected by flooding after 35 minutes.

Although the design basis was not met for these areas, time-critical operator action validations per periodic test PT/0/A/0120/033, Time Critical Action Verification, showed that operators have executed the LPSW isolation mitigating actions of abnormal procedure AP/1-2/A/1700/030, Auxiliary Building Flood, and AP/3/A/1700/030 in time frames of approximately 33 minutes and 22 minutes, respectively. For the Unit 1/2 HPI pump room and Unit 3 A LPI pump room, the time validations demonstrated that additional margin would likely be available and would allow operators time to identify and isolate additional components that were not specifically identified in the abnormal procedure. However, for the Unit 3 HPI pump room, there was a reasonable doubt on the capability of operators to isolate certain LPSW breaks before equipment would be adversely affected because the time validation results were 3 minutes longer than the time to impact the pumps. The Unit 3 HPI pump room vulnerability was determined to exist only during summer weather conditions that required the plant to operate all four condenser circulating water (CCW) pumps with the second condensate cooler in service.

Corrective Actions: The licensee took compensatory measures to isolate certain lines to improve operator response time margins. Procedure changes were made to identify additional isolation valves and ladders were installed where necessary to access the new components. On Unit 3, administrative controls were implemented to restrict alignment of the second condensate cooler until alternative measures could be developed.

Corrective Action References: NCRs 02261347 and 02266374

Performance Assessment:

Performance Deficiency: The failure to verify the adequacy of design of the LPSW system per 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion III, was a performance deficiency. Specifically, design review calculation OSC-8671 failed to ensure safety-related equipment would not be adversely impacted by failure of non-seismic LPSW piping in the auxiliary building.

Screening: The performance deficiency was more than minor because it was associated with the design control attribute of the mitigating systems cornerstone and adversely affected the cornerstone objective of ensuring availability, reliability and capability of systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences. Specifically, inspectors identified different postulated failure locations that could result in flooding rates that would individually impact either the three Unit 3 HPI pumps, the six Unit 1 & 2 HPI pumps, or the 3A RBS pump under design basis conditions.

Significance: The inspectors assessed the significance of the finding using Appendix A, The Significance Determination Process (SDP) for Findings At-Power. A regional SRA conducted a quantitative risk evaluation using SAPHIRE Version 8.1.8 and Oconee SPAR model Version 8.60. In completing the evaluation, the SRA assumed that operators would not be able to isolate auxiliary building flooding from breaks of non-seismic LPSW piping in Unit 3 before affecting safety-related equipment, were it to occur under certain seasonal conditions, and would have barely adequate time to do so for Units 1 and 2. The SRA also assumed that FLEX equipment was available. The result was a change in core damage frequency of less than 1E-6/year, which was of very low safety significance (Green). The dominant sequence was an auxiliary building flood with operator failure to isolate, various failures of the SSF, and failure to implement FLEX. Remaining mitigation capability would include operator capability to trip the RCPs, isolate the seal bleed off line, and maintain the RCS subcooled.

Cross-Cutting Aspect: Not Present Performance. No cross cutting aspect was assigned to this finding because the inspectors determined the finding did not reflect present licensee performance.

Enforcement:

Violation: 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion III, Design Control, required, in part, that design control measures shall provide for checking the adequacy of design, such as by the performance of design reviews. Contrary to the above, since October 29, 2014, the design review performed for auxiliary building flooding did not verify adequacy of the design because calculation OSC-8671 failed to ensure safety-related equipment would not be adversely impacted by failure of non-seismic LPSW piping in the auxiliary building.

Enforcement Action: This violation is being treated as an NCV, consistent with Section 2.3.2 of the Enforcement Policy.

Failure to Monitor or Demonstrate Control of Performance Under the Maintenance Rule Cornerstone Significance Cross- Report Cutting Section Aspect Mitigating Green [H.1] - 71111.12 Systems NCV Resources 05000269,05000270,05000287/2019002-02 Open/Closed The inspectors identified a Green NCV of 10 CFR 50.65(a)(2) when the licensee failed to monitor the performance or demonstrate effective control of performance of the standby shutdown facility.

Description:

On November 7, 2018, testing during a refueling outage revealed that the 1B RCS letdown cooler outlet isolation valve, 1HP-4, operated satisfactorily from the main control room, but it could not be operated from the SSF control room because of a relay failure. Engineers performed a maintenance rule evaluation in NCR 2241697 and determined that the inability to close the isolation valve from the SSF was a functional failure. On March 1, 2019, inspectors identified that the functional failure was incorrectly applied to the high pressure injection system rather than the SSF. One of the SSF functions monitored by the maintenance rule program was the ability of RCS boundary valves to isolate and prevent RCS inventory loss. Because of other existing SSF failures within the monitoring period, the additional functional failure caused the performance criteria for the SSF to be exceeded and required an a(1) evaluation to be performed. Subsequently, because four out of five events were maintenance preventable, the Unit 1 SSF function was changed to maintenance rule a(1) status on April 17, 2019. If the failure of 1HP-4 had been correctly classified originally, the SSF would have more promptly entered a(1) status after the fifth failure in December 2018.

Corrective Actions: The licensee entered the error with the failure classification into their correction action program and performed the required evaluations.

Corrective Action References: NCR 2260902

Performance Assessment:

Performance Deficiency: The failure to monitor the performance or demonstrate effective control of performance of the SSF was a violation of 10 CFR 50.65(a)(2) and a performance deficiency.

Screening: The performance deficiency was more than minor because it was associated with the equipment performance attribute of the mitigating systems cornerstone and adversely affected the cornerstone objective of ensuring availability, reliability and capability of systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences. Specifically, the performance deficiency was associated with multiple functional failures that adversely affected the reliability of the safe shutdown facility.

Significance: The inspectors assessed the significance of the finding using Appendix A, The Significance Determination Process (SDP) for Findings At-Power. Using Chapter 0609, Appendix A, The Significance Determination Process for Findings At-Power, Exhibit 2, Mitigating Systems Screening Questions, the finding screened as very low safety significance (Green) because it was a process error and did not represent a degraded condition that involved an actual loss of function of a single train for greater than its TS allowed outage time.

Cross-Cutting Aspect: H.1 - The inspectors determined that the performance deficiency had a cross cutting aspect of resources in the human performance area because the apparent cause of the performance deficiency was that leaders did not ensure that resources, such as the maintenance rule manager database and design basis documents, contained accurate information for determining which maintenance rule functions were attributable to components that affected multiple systems. This led to a failure being applied to an incorrect function. This vulnerability was originally identified during a May 25, 2016, Maintenance Rule Expert Panel meeting. However, the associated assignment in NCR 2022432 was closed without action based on an assumption that system engineers would be able to determine the correct function. In this case, the presence of inaccurate information created doubt amongst the involved engineers and manager and led to an incorrect determination.

Enforcement:

Violation: 10 CFR Part 50.65(a)(1), requires, in part, that holders of an operating license shall monitor the performance or condition of structures, systems, or components (SSCs) within the scope of the rule as defined by 10 CFR 50.65(b), against licensee-established goals, in a manner sufficient to provide reasonable assurance that such SSCs are capable of fulfilling their intended functions.

10 CFR 50.65(a)(2) states, in part, that monitoring specified in 10 CFR 50.65(a)(1) is not required where it has been demonstrated that the performance or condition of an SSC is being effectively controlled through the performance of appropriate preventive maintenance, such that the SSC remains capable of performing its intended function.

Contrary to the above, from December 2018 through March 2019, the licensee failed to demonstrate that the performance of the SSF had been effectively controlled through the performance of appropriate preventive maintenance and did not monitor against licensee-established goals. Specifically, the license did not identify and account for a maintenance preventable functional failure of the SSF system. This resulted in the licensee failing to account for four total maintenance preventable functional failures of the SSF occurring from January 2018 to December 2018. The failures demonstrated that the performance of the SSF was not being effectively controlled through the performance of appropriate preventive maintenance and, as a result, that goal setting and monitoring was required.

Enforcement Action: This violation is being treated as an NCV, consistent with Section 2.3.2 of the Enforcement Policy.
