B. Hanson-2-UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION
REGION I
2100 RENAISSANCE BLVD., SUITE 100 KING OF PRUSSIA, PA 19406-2713 February 9, 2016 Mr. Bryan Senior Vice President, Exelon Generation Company, LLC President and Chief Nuclear Officer, Exelon Nuclear 4300 Winfield Road Warrenville, IL 60555 SUBJECT: CALVERT CLIFFS NUCLEAR POWER PLANT - INTEGRATED INSPECTION REPORT 05000317/2015004 AND 05000318/2015004
Dear Mr. Hanson:
On December 31, 2015, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed an inspection at your Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant (CCNPP), Units 1 and 2. The enclosed inspection report documents the inspection results, which were discussed on January 20, 2016, with Mr. Mark Flaherty, Plant Manager, and other members of your staff.
NRC inspectors examined activities conducted under your licenses as they relate to safety and compliance with the Commissions rules and regulations and with the conditions of your licenses. The inspectors reviewed selected procedures and records, observed activities, and interviewed personnel.
This report documents two findings of very low safety significance (Green), both of which were violations of NRC requirements. Additionally, two licensee-identified violations, which were determined to be of Severity Level IV, are listed in this report. However, because of the very low safety significance and because they are entered into your corrective action program, the NRC is treating these findings as non-cited violations (NCVs), consistent with Section 2.3.2.a of the NRC Enforcement Policy.
If you contest the NCVs 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 CCNPP. In addition, if you disagree with the cross-cutting aspect assigned to any finding, or a finding not associated with a regulatory requirement 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 I, and the NRC Resident Inspector at CCNPP. In accordance with Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) 2.390 of the NRCs Rules of Practice, a copy of this letter, its enclosure, and your response (if any) will be available electronically for public inspection in the NRCs Public Document Room or from the Publicly Available Records component of the NRCs Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS).

This report covered a three-month period of inspection by resident inspectors and announced baseline inspections performed by regional inspectors. The inspectors identified two non-cited violations (NCVs), which were of very low safety significance (Green). The significance of most findings is indicated by their color (i.e., greater than Green, or Green, White, Yellow, Red) and determined using Inspection Manual Chapter (IMC) 0609, Significance Determination Process, dated April 29, 2015. Cross-cutting aspects are determined using IMC 0310, Aspects Within the Cross-Cutting Areas, dated December 4, 2014. All violations of U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) requirements are dispositioned in accordance with the NRCs Enforcement Policy, dated February 4, 2015. The NRCs program for overseeing the safe operation of commercial nuclear power reactors is described in NUREG-1649, Reactor Oversight Process,
Revision 5.
Cornerstone: Mitigating Systems
- Green.
The inspectors identified a Green NCV of Technical Specification (TS) 5.4.1.a for Exelons failure to implement procedures as required by Regulatory Guide (RG) 1.33,
Appendix A, Section 1, Administrative Procedures, during replacement of the 11 service water (SRW) pump motor, resulting in the SRW pump room door, a high energy line break (HELB) barrier, being impaired. This rendered the safety-related equipment protected by the HELB barrier inoperable. The inspectors determined that the failure to properly implement Exelon procedures EN-1-135, Control of Barriers, Revision 00202, and CC-AA-201, Plant Barrier Control Program, Revision 11, was a performance deficiency that was reasonably within Exelons ability to foresee and prevent. Upon identification, Exelon staff entered this issue into their corrective action program (CAP) as issue report (IR) 2586773.
Exelons immediate corrective actions included halting of impairing hazard barriers without considering the degraded barriers effect on equipment operability.
The inspectors reviewed IMC 0612, Appendix B, Issue Screening, and determined the performance deficiency was more than minor because it adversely affected the equipment performance attribute of the Mitigating Systems cornerstone objective to ensure the availability, reliability, and capability of systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences. Specifically, Exelons actions in blocking open the HELB barrier resulted in a condition where structures, systems, and components (SSCs) necessary to mitigate the effects of a HELB may not have functioned as required; therefore, the reliability of these protected SSCs was adversely impacted. In accordance with IMC 0609,
Attachment 4, Initial Characterization of Findings, issued on June 19, 2012, and IMC 0609,
Appendix A, The Significance Determination Process (SDP) for Findings At-Power, Exhibit 2, Mitigating Systems Screening Questions, issued on June 19, 2012, the inspectors determined that a detailed risk evaluation was necessary to disposition the significance of this finding because the finding represented a loss of the SRW system. A regional Senior Reactor Analyst (SRA) performed a detailed risk evaluation using an exposure interval of 10 minutes as the maximum time the condition was allowed in the plant. Using these inputs yielded an initiating event frequency of 4E-9/year. From discussions with the inspectors, the analyst confirmed a list of affected equipment. The analyst bounded the scenario by assuming all mitigating equipment would be lost which gave a maximum change in core damage frequency of 4E-9/year. Since the bounded change in core damage frequency was less than 1E-6, the finding was determined to be of very low safety significance (Green).
The inspectors determined that the finding had a cross-cutting aspect in the area of Human Performance, Work Management, because Exelon did not implement a process of planning, controlling, and executing work activities such that nuclear safety was the overriding priority.
Specifically, Exelons process for planning and controlling maintenance did not identify the applicability of Exelon procedure CC-AA-201. [H.5] (Section 1R04)
- Green.
The inspectors documented a self-revealing Green NCV of TS 5.4.1.a for Exelons failure to implement procedures as required by RG 1.33, Appendix A, Section 8,
Procedures for Control of Metering and Testing Equipment and for Surveillance Tests,
Procedures, and Calibrations, during maintenance which resulted in a manual isolation valve (1HVFW-1804) being incorrectly placed in the closed position. This human performance error isolated the number 12 steam generator (SG) wide range level transmitter (1LT1124C) and subsequently rendered the auxiliary feedwater actuation system (AFAS)sensor channel ZF inoperable for 33 hours3.819444e-4 days <br />0.00917 hours <br />5.456349e-5 weeks <br />1.25565e-5 months <br /> and 39 minutes, a condition prohibited by TS 3.3.4, Engineered Safety Features Actuation System (ESFAS) Instrumentation. The inspectors determined that the failure to properly implement procedure STP M-525AT-1 and place 1HVFW-1804 in its required position was a performance deficiency that was reasonably within Exelons ability to foresee and prevent. Upon identification, Exelon staff entered this issue into their CAP as condition report (CR)-2014-003320. Exelons immediate corrective action was to enter TS 3.3.4.A, to determine and correct the cause, and to retest the system for proper operation.
The inspectors reviewed IMC 0612, Appendix B, Issue Screening, and determined the issue is more than minor because it adversely affected the configuration control attribute of the Mitigating Systems cornerstone objective to ensure the availability, reliability, and capability of systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences.
Specifically, Exelon operated with manual isolation valve, 1HVFW-1804 closed which resulted in the inoperability of the AFAS sensor channel ZF for approximately 33 hours3.819444e-4 days <br />0.00917 hours <br />5.456349e-5 weeks <br />1.25565e-5 months <br /> and 39 minutes. In accordance with IMC 0609, Attachment 4, Initial Characterization of Findings, issued on June 19, 2012, and IMC 0609, Appendix A, The Significance Determination Process for Findings at Power, Exhibit 2, Mitigating Systems Screening Questions, issued on June 19, 2012, the inspectors determined that a detailed risk evaluation was necessary to disposition the significance of this finding because the finding represented an actual loss of function of at least a single train of AFAS for greater than its TS allowed outage time. A regional SRA performed a detailed risk evaluation. The finding was determined to be of very low safety significance (Green) because the redundant AFAS sensor was operable and functional to ensure actuation of the system if it had been required, therefore there was no loss of the system function. Additionally, the unit was in Mode 3 with very low decay heat levels during the time the ZF sensor channel was determined to be inoperable and plant procedures exist to manually start the AFW system if failure of automatic actuation were to occur. The inspectors determined that the finding has a cross-cutting aspect in the area of Human Performance, Challenge the Unknown, because Exelon did not stop when faced with an uncertain condition about the position of 1HVFW-1804. Specifically, personnel conducting the second verification did not appropriately question the position of isolation valve 1HVFW-1804 because of the higher experience level of the personnel conducting the first verification. [H.11] (Section 4OA3)
Other Findings
Two violations of Severity Level IV, which were identified by Exelon, were reviewed by the inspectors. Corrective actions taken or planned by Exelon have been entered into Exelons CAP. These violations and corrective action tracking numbers are listed in Section 4OA7 of this report.

The inspectors performed a review of Exelons readiness for the onset of seasonal low temperatures on December 3, 2015. The review focused on the 12 condensate storage tank, emergency diesel generators (EDG), and diesel fuel oil storage. The inspectors reviewed the Updated Final Safety Analysis Report (UFSAR), TS, control room logs, and the CAP to determine what temperatures or other seasonal weather could challenge these systems, and to ensure Exelon personnel had adequately prepared for these challenges. The inspectors reviewed station procedures, including Exelons seasonal weather preparation procedure and applicable operating procedures. The inspectors performed walkdowns of the selected systems to ensure station personnel identified issues that could challenge the operability of the systems during cold weather conditions.
b. Findings
No findings were identified.
1R04 Equipment Alignment
Partial System Walkdowns (71111.04Q - 4 samples)
a. Inspection Scope
The inspectors performed partial walkdowns of the systems listed below. The inspectors selected these systems based on their risk-significance relative to the reactor safety cornerstones at the time they were inspected. The inspectors reviewed applicable procedures, system diagrams, the UFSAR, TS, work orders (WOs), IRs, and the impact of ongoing work activities on redundant trains of equipment in order to identify conditions that could have impacted the systems performance of its intended safety functions. The inspectors also performed field walkdowns of accessible portions of the systems to verify system components and support equipment were aligned correctly and were operable.
The inspectors examined the material condition of the components and observed operating parameters of equipment to verify that there were no deficiencies. The inspectors also reviewed whether Exelon staff had properly identified equipment issues and entered them into the CAP for resolution with the appropriate significance characterization.

b. Findings
Introduction:
The inspectors identified a Green NCV of TS 5.4.1.a for Exelons failure to implement procedures as required by RG 1.33, Appendix A, Section 1, Administrative Procedures, during replacement of the 11 SRW pump motor, resulting in the SRW pump room door, a HELB barrier, being impaired. This rendered the safety-related equipment protected by the HELB barrier inoperable.
Description:
On October 20, 2015, Exelon replaced the 11 SRW pump motor which required the opening of a HELB barrier, specifically Door 214, Heater Bay to SRW Pump Room (Unit 1), separating the turbine building from the SRW Pump Room and the installation of a chain fall through this barrier. The motor driven 13 auxiliary feedwater (AFW) pump, saltwater air compressors (SWACs), and all three SRW pumps are located in the SRW pump room and are protected from a HELB in the turbine building by the barrier that was opened for the SRW pump motor replacement. During the planning process, Exelon determined that the equipment located inside the SRW pump room would remain operable as long as the time the HELB barrier was allowed to remain open was limited to five minutes and Exelon personnel remained stationed at the door throughout the time it was open. The inspectors interviewed Exelon personnel and noted that the time the barrier was impaired was approximately three and a half minutes during both the removal and installation of the SRW pump motor. The inspectors also noted that a member of the Exelon staff was continually stationed at the door to restore the barrier to its design basis configuration during any plant event or transient.
The inspectors reviewed CCNPP UFSAR, Revision 47, Table 10A-6, Mechanical and Electrical Equipment Required to Place the Plant in a Safe Shutdown Condition and Maintain it in a Safe Shutdown Condition, and noted that the table identifies the motor driven AFW pump, the SRW pumps, and components that rely on the SWACs for proper operation, as equipment located outside those areas which experience a steam environment during a HELB in the turbine building. The inspectors reviewed Exelon procedure EN-1-135, Control of Barriers, Revision 00202, and noted that Attachment 1 lists Door 214 as a HELB door. Procedure EN-1-135, Section 5.3, also states, in part, that a HELB door can be held open, but not blocked open for maintenance. The inspectors also noted that EN-1-135, Section 5.5.B.7, requires that, When a HELB barrier is removed or otherwise made incapable of performing its design function, the equipment protected by the HELB barrier will need to be considered inoperable. The inspectors reviewed Exelon procedure CC-AA-201, Plant Barrier Control Program, Revision 11, and noted that Section 3.2 states, Stations must continue to comply with the plant TSs, particularly the operability provisions applicable to the protected equipment, and other administrative requirements that may place limitations on continued reactor operation with a barrier impaired. CC-AA-201 defines an impaired barrier in Section 2.5 as, A barrier that is inoperable such that it cannot fully perform its intended design function. The inspectors also noted that Regulatory Issue Summary 2001-09, Control of Hazard Barriers, is listed as a reference in EN-1-135 and CC-AA-201. The inspectors reviewed Regulatory Issue Summary 2001-09 and noted that it discusses the need to comply with TS limiting conditions for operation (LCOs) or the possible need for compensatory measures to maintain operability of equipment that is designed to mitigate a HELB event when a HELB barrier protecting that same equipment is removed. The inspectors reviewed Exelon calculation, CA08772, Calvert Cliffs MSLB in Turbine Bldg. El. 27, and noted that the temperature and pressure in the vicinity of the Door 214 would reach uninhabitable conditions within 2.2 seconds during a HELB in the turbine building. The inspectors concluded that this time is significantly less than that required to safely set the SRW pump motor down and remove the chain falls from the barrier. The personnel stationed to return the impaired HELB barrier to its design basis configuration during a main steam line break in the Unit 1 turbine building would be ineffective in protecting equipment in the SRW pump room and did not constitute an acceptable compensatory measure, thus the barrier was impaired (blocked) while the chain fall was installed.
The inspectors noted that Exelon did not enter any TS LCOs or complete an operability determination for the motor driven AFW pump, SWACs, nor the SRW pumps during the time the SRW pump room HELB barrier was blocked open. The inspectors concluded that impairing the SRW pump room HELB barrier for SRW pump motor replacement without appropriate compensatory measures rendered the motor driven 13 AFW pump, SWACs, and the SRW pumps inoperable as required by Exelon procedures EN-1-135 and CC-AA-201. Exelon failed to consider this equipment inoperable for this maintenance which resulted in the failure to enter appropriate TS LCOs and to recognize that blocking the SRW pump room door would cause entry into TS 3.0.3 due to the inoperability of all Unit 1 SRW pumps with no corresponding TS action statement. The inspectors also noted that Exelon procedure WC-AA-106, Work Screening and Processing, Revision 15, requires that work resulting in entry into TS 3.0.3 shall be screened to an outage. Upon identification, Exelon staff entered this issue into their CAP as IR 2586773.
Analysis:
The inspectors determined that the failure to properly implement Exelon procedures EN-1-135, Control of Barriers, Revision 00202, and CC-AA-201, Plant Barrier Control Program, Revision 11, was a performance deficiency which was reasonably within its ability to foresee and prevent. The inspectors reviewed IMC 0612, Appendix B, Issue Screening, and determined the issue is more than minor because it adversely affected the equipment performance attribute of the Mitigating Systems cornerstone objective to ensure the availability, reliability, and capability of systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences. Specifically, Exelons actions in blocking open the HELB barrier resulted in a condition where SSCs necessary to mitigate the effects of a HELB may not have functioned as required; therefore, the reliability of these protected SSCs was adversely impacted. In accordance with IMC 0609, Attachment 4, Initial Characterization of Findings, issued on June 19, 2012, and IMC 0609, Appendix A, The Significance Determination Process (SDP) for Findings At-Power, Exhibit 2, Mitigating Systems Screening Questions, issued on June 19, 2012, the inspectors determined that a detailed risk evaluation was necessary to disposition the significance of this finding because the finding represented a loss of the SRW system. A regional SRA performed a detailed risk evaluation to evaluate the HELB concern. The SRA identified the approximate frequency for a steam line piping break.
Data from NUREG/CR-6928, Industry-Average Performance for Components and Initiating Events at U.S. Commercial Nuclear Power Plants, updated in 2010, specified the mean frequency for a large leak pipe fault as 2.5E-11/ft-hour. The amount of piping which could initiate the HELB event was assumed to be 1000 feet. The SRA used an exposure interval of 10 minutes as the maximum time the condition was allowed in the plant. Using these inputs yielded an initiating event frequency of 4E-9/year. From discussions with the inspectors, the SRA confirmed a list of affected equipment. The SRA bounded the scenario by assuming all mitigating equipment would be lost which gave a maximum change in core damage frequency of 4E-9/year. Since the bounded change in core damage frequency was less than 1E-6, the finding was determined to be of very low safety significance (Green).
The inspectors determined that the finding has a cross-cutting aspect in the area of Human Performance, Work Management, because Exelon did not implement a process for planning, controlling, and executing work activities such that nuclear safety was the overriding priority. Specifically, Exelons process for planning and controlling maintenance did not identify the applicability of Exelon procedure CC-AA-201. [H.5]
Enforcement:
TS 5.4.1.a states, in part, that written procedures shall be implemented covering the applicable procedures recommended in RG 1.33, Appendix A, of which Section 1 specifies administrative procedures for control of equipment during safety-related activities. Contrary to this, on October 20, 2015, on two occasions, Exelon failed to implement barrier controls in accordance with EN-1-135, and CC-AA-201 for the control of hazard barriers. Specifically, Exelon blocked a HELB barrier without entering applicable TS LCOs or implementing appropriate compensatory measures to maintain the operability of safety-related equipment in the room normally protected by the barrier.
Exelons immediate corrective actions included halting of impairing hazard barriers without considering the degraded barriers effect on equipment operability. Because this violation is of very low safety significance (Green) and has been entered into Exelons CAP (IR 2586773), this violation is being treated as an NCV, consistent with Section 2.3.2.a of the NRC Enforcement Policy.

.3 Biennial Review
a. Inspection Scope
The following inspection activities were performed using NUREG-1021, "Operator Licensing Examination Standards for Power Reactors," Revision 10, and Inspection Procedure 71111.11, Licensed Operator Requalification Program and Licensed Operator Performance.
Examination Results On December 23, 2015, the results of the annual operating tests were reviewed to determine if pass/fail rates were consistent with the guidance of NUREG-1021, "Operator Licensing Examination Standards for Power Reactors," Revision 10, and IMC 0609, Appendix I, Operator Requalification Human Performance Significance Determination Process (SDP). The review verified that the failure rate (individual or crew) did not exceed 20 percent.
2 out of 76 operators failed at least one section of the annual exam. The overall individual failure rate was 2.6 percent.
0 out of 15 crews failed the simulator test. The crew failure rate was 0.0 percent.

RADIATION SAFETY
Cornerstone: Public Radiation Safety and Occupational Radiation Safety
2RS4 Occupational Dose Assessment
a. Inspection Scope
The inspectors reviewed the monitoring, assessment, and reporting of occupational dose. The inspectors used the requirements in 10 CFR 20, Standards For Protection Against Radiation, RGs, TSs, and procedures required by TSs as criteria for determining compliance.
Inspection Planning
The inspectors reviewed radiation protection program audits, National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program (NVLAP) dosimetry testing reports, and procedures associated with dosimetry operations.
External Dosimetry The inspectors reviewed dosimetry NVLAP accreditation, onsite storage of dosimeters, the use of correction factors to align electronic personal dosimeter results with NVLAP dosimetry results, dosimetry occurrence reports, and CAP documents for adverse trends related to external dosimetry.
Internal Dosimetry The inspectors reviewed internal dosimetry procedures, whole body counter measurement sensitivity and use, adequacy of the program for whole body count monitoring of plant radionuclides, adequacy of the program for dose assessments based on air sample monitoring and the use of respiratory protection, and internal dose assessments for any actual internal exposures.
Special Dosimetric Situations The inspectors reviewed Exelons worker notification of the risks of radiation exposure to the embryo/fetus, the dosimetry monitoring program for declared pregnant workers, external dose monitoring of workers in large dose rate gradient environments, and dose assessments performed since the last inspection that used multi-badging, skin dose, or neutron dose assessments.
Problem Identification and Resolution The inspectors evaluated whether problems associated with occupational dose assessment were identified at an appropriate threshold and properly addressed in the CAP.
b. Findings
No findings were identified.
OTHER ACTIVITIES

To determine the accuracy of the PI data reported during those periods, the inspectors used definitions and guidance contained in NEI 99-02, Regulatory Assessment Performance Indicator Guideline, Revision 7. The inspectors reviewed the public dose assessments for the PI for public radiation safety to determine if related data was accurately calculated and reported.
The inspectors reviewed the CAP database to identify any potential occurrences such as unmonitored, uncontrolled, or improperly calculated effluent releases that may have impacted offsite dose. The inspectors reviewed gaseous and liquid effluent summary data and the results of associated offsite dose calculations to determine if PI results were accurately reported.
b. Findings
No findings were identified.
4OA2 Problem Identification and Resolution
.1 Routine Review of Problem Identification and Resolution Activities
a. Inspection Scope
As required by Inspection Procedure 71152, Problem Identification and Resolution, the inspectors routinely reviewed issues during baseline inspection activities and plant status reviews to verify that Exelon entered issues into the CAP at an appropriate threshold, gave adequate attention to timely corrective actions, and identified and addressed adverse trends. In order to assist with the identification of repetitive equipment failures and specific human performance issues for follow-up, the inspectors performed a daily screening of items entered into the CAP and periodically attended IR screening meetings. The inspectors also confirmed, on a sampling basis, that, as applicable, for identified defects and non-conformances, Exelon staff performed an evaluation in accordance with 10 CFR 21.
b. Findings
No findings were identified.
.2 Semi-Annual Trend Review
a. Inspection Scope
The inspectors performed a semi-annual review of site issues, as required by Inspection Procedure 71152, Problem Identification and Resolution, to identify trends that might indicate the existence of more significant safety issues. In this review, the inspectors included repetitive or closely-related issues that may have been documented by Exelon personnel outside of the CAP, such as trend reports, PIs, major equipment problem lists, system health reports, maintenance rule assessments, and maintenance or CAP backlogs. The inspectors also reviewed Exelons CAP database for the period of July 1, 2015 through December 31, 2015 to assess CRs written in various subject areas (equipment problems, human performance issues, etc.), as well as individual issues identified during the NRCs daily CR review (Section 4OA2.1). The inspectors reviewed Exelon staffs quarterly trend reports to verify that Exelon personnel were appropriately evaluating and trending adverse conditions in accordance with applicable procedures.
b. Findings and Observations
No findings were identified.
The inspectors noted a trend in procedural violations, six NRC-identified or self-revealing findings involving violations of TS 5.4.1.a or 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion V, Instructions, Procedures, and Drawings, within the last two years. In addition, there have been multiple licensee-identified violations in this same area during this time period. There is not a clear trend in the specific nature of the violations, although four of the six violations involved a failure to implement procedures. The remaining two violations involved a failure to implement and maintain procedures. The failure to implement procedures is currently being addressed by the licensee in its operator fundamentals program which is also being monitored by the inspectors due to the role it plays in corrective actions for the licensees previous configuration control issues. The failures to implement and maintain procedures are currently being monitored by the inspectors to better understand the causal factors.
.3 Annual Sample: Control Room Post-Accident Ventilation Damper Failure
a. Inspection Scope
The inspectors performed an in-depth review of Exelon's evaluations and corrective actions associated with two control room post-loss of coolant incident (LOCI) filter discharge damper issues; one in September 2013, CR-2013-007736, 12 Post LOCI Filter Fan is Slowly Rotating, and another in November 2014, IR 02412861, 11 Post LOCI Fan Discharge Damper Leaks By. The first instance involved a failure of the 12 fans discharge damper blade springs. The damper failed open and allowed the 12 fan to rotate backwards when the 11 fan was placed in service. The second issue was related to the redundant trains
- (11) fan discharge damper, wherein the damper was stuck in the fully open position, but there was no physical damage to any internal components. Slight mechanical agitation of the damper allowed it to move to its closed position. The inspectors evaluated Exelons actions, including their extent of review condition that evaluated the design, configuration, and installation testing of the recently (2011) modified/installed post-LOCI filter system.
The inspectors assessed Exelon's problem identification threshold, problem analysis, extent of condition reviews, compensatory actions, and the prioritization and timeliness of its corrective actions to determine whether they were appropriately identifying, characterizing, and correcting problems associated with this issue and whether the planned or completed corrective actions were appropriate. The inspectors compared the actions taken to the requirements of Exelon's CAP and 10 CFR 50, Appendix B. The inspectors interviewed engineering personnel to assess the reasonableness of the planned and completed corrective actions. The inspectors also conducted a walkdown of the affected components to evaluate the effectiveness of Exelons actions.
b. Findings and Observations
No findings were identified.
The control room post-LOCI ventilation system was replaced in 2011 with a larger system, capable of significantly higher flowrates (10,000 scfm per train vs. 2,000 scfm).
The new fan motors were also significantly larger (25 hp vs. 3 hp). Accordingly, the vendor that designed the new system elected to use relatively light discharge dampers to eliminate the need to further increase the electrical load and sizing of the fan motors.
In addition, the lighter, aluminum dampers were designed with springs to assist with opening the dampers to further reduce air flow drag.
Following the September 2013 event, Exelon determined the spring failure was due to cyclic bending with a total damper bend angle greater than needed for full flow. In response, Exelon replaced the springs and adjusted the blade stop to prevent excessive opening. Exelon also developed a preventive maintenance activity to perform an annual damper inspection, including the springs. Exelon also inspected the damper internals and replaced the springs for the 11 train discharge damper. As part of an associated operability determination, a compensatory measure was also initiated to verify that the opposite train fan does not rotate backwards when either fan is started.
While running the 12 fan in November 2014, operators found that the 11 fan was rotating backwards. This was similar to the September 2013 event on the 11 fan except that there was no damage to the springs. Exelon determined in this instance, that the cause for the damper blade sticking was due to friction of the damper blades impregnated bushings. Specifically, Exelon determined the damper shaft was relatively large compared to the light damper blades, causing the blades to stick open. In response to this second issue, Exelon conducted additional reviews of the damper design, and elected to remove the springs (coil-type springs which could potentially jam) and to implement a periodic bushing lubrication activity.
The inspectors found that Exelon implemented reasonable corrective actions following the September 2013 discharge damper failure and the November 2014 stuck damper.
However, in evaluating Exelons responses to both events, the inspectors found that the system engineer had expressed some concerns with the original design of the lighter discharge damper design. The site engineer had recommended using a more conventional design; however, the recommendation was rejected, in part due to cost considerations, including engineering costs related to motor sizing impact. Exelons investigation identified this issue related to evaluating technical conscience attributes for the site and engineering, and initiated a separate CR for evaluation (CR-2013-008374).
The inspectors also determined that, in general, Exelon did not challenge the vendors claim that no preventive maintenance was required for the damper (i.e., no periodic internal inspection or lubrication). The inspectors noted there was no access port to the damper area as part of the original design. Exelon subsequently implemented appropriate preventive maintenance activities and installed access ports and train maintenance isolation capability in the new system.
.4 Annual Sample: Shift Technical Advisors (STA) Proficiency Lapsed
a. Inspection Scope
The inspectors performed an in-depth review of Exelons evaluations and corrective actions associated with CR-2013-003963, STA Proficiency Lapsed. Specifically, two STAs did not completely satisfy their continuing training requirements which resulted in the expiration of their STA proficiency. STAs are required to successfully attend requalification training and pass an annual evaluation in the role of STA to maintain proficiency. The two STAs had not received a simulator evaluation since December 2011, which did not satisfy the annual simulator evaluation requirement. The subject CR was initiated by the licensee and the two STAs that failed to meet proficiency requirements were identified after operations training had conducted an evaluation record review. This evaluation record review was conducted following an inquiry by a STA who was uncertain if he satisfied the annual simulator evaluation requirement to maintain proficiency. The Operations Qualification Report at the time indicated the two individuals were qualified; however, an investigation of the qualification report structure revealed the simulator evaluation element was not included in the report structure and therefore provided an inaccurate qualification status.
The inspectors assessed Exelons identification and documentation of the problem in the CAP, their cause analyses, extent of condition reviews, compensatory actions, and the prioritization and timeliness of Exelons corrective actions to determine whether Exelon appropriately identified, characterized, and corrected the problems associated with this issue and whether the completed corrective actions were appropriate. The inspectors compared the actions taken to the requirements of Exelons CAP and 10 CFR 50, Appendix B. In addition, the inspectors reviewed qualification records, performed qualification checks of incumbent personnel, observed STA simulator evaluations being performed, and interviewed operations and training personnel to assess the effectiveness of the implemented corrective actions.
b. Findings and Observations
No findings were identified.
The inspectors determined that Exelon appropriately identified the apparent cause, evaluated the extent of condition, performed compensatory actions, and completed corrective actions aimed at preventing reoccurrence. Exelon determined the apparent cause was that the existing qualification report was inadequate due to the omission of the STA annual simulator evaluation requirement from the qualification matrix.
Corrective actions included establishing a proficiency code with a repeat interval of 12 months and an expiration date of the end of the year. Additional corrective actions included program procedure changes that established ownership for the tracking and coordination of annual STA simulator evaluations and ensured the qualification database was updated once the simulator evaluation was successfully completed.
The inspectors verified the programmatic changes were made and were effective by performing STA qualification checks and reviewing the inputted data in Exelons Learning Management System. The inspectors also validated that the proficiency issue had not resulted in any operations shifts being manned without a qualified STA during the period of time that the two individuals had their proficiency lapse. The inspectors independently reviewed the electronic Shift Operations Management System reports for the dates the two individuals stood watch and verified that another qualified STA was also present. The inspectors determined that failing to meet STA proficiency requirements did not also impact senior reactor operator proficiency. The inspectors reviewed for extent of condition issues by reviewing and verifying proficiency records and performing qualification record checks for currently licensed operators.
The inspectors concluded Exelons response and corrective actions were appropriate and effective.
.5 Annual Sample: Containment Spray Pump Cooling System Design Control
a. Inspection Scope
In June 2012, the NRC Component Design Bases Inspection (CDBI) team identified a finding of very low safety significance involving a NCV of 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion III, "Design Control," in that the Calvert Cliffs staff did not ensure that design control measures verified or checked the adequacy of design of the CS pump cooling systems as documented in NRC Inspection Report 05000317 and 05000318/2012007.
Specifically, the CDBI team determined that the seal cooling units installed on the CS pumps would not provide sufficient cooling to the seals, there were discrepancies in the installed configuration of the bearing cooling system for the pumps, and calculations or test results were not available to demonstrate adequate cooling for the pump bearings at design basis accident conditions. The inspectors performed an in-depth review of Exelons evaluations and corrective actions associated with the CS pump cooling systems (CR 2012-006012, CR 2012-006226, and CR 2012-007958).
The inspectors assessed Exelons problem identification threshold, cause analysis, extent of condition reviews, compensatory actions, and the prioritization and timeliness of corrective actions to determine whether Exelon was appropriately identifying, characterizing, and correcting problems associated with this issue and whether the planned or completed corrective actions were appropriate. The inspectors compared the actions taken to the requirements of Exelons CAP and 10 CFR 50, Appendix B. In addition, the inspectors performed field walkdowns and interviewed operations and engineering personnel to assess the effectiveness of the implemented corrective actions. Specifically, the inspectors walked down all four Unit 1 and Unit 2 CS pumps, including control room instrumentation, to independently assess the material condition, operating environment, and configuration control. The inspectors reviewed Exelons CS seal cooling modification to verify that the design bases, licensing bases, and performance capability of the CS system had not been degraded by the modification. The inspectors reviewed the 10 CFR 50.59 screening and engineering evaluation associated with the modification, supporting calculations, post-modification test results, and associated maintenance WOs to verify that Exelon appropriately implemented the modification in accordance with design assumptions.
b. Findings and Observations
No findings were identified.
Exelon decided to replace the original CS pump seal coolers with new, passive, side-mounted, natural convection coolers to address the weaknesses in the original seal cooler design. The modification provided a high point vent, promoted more effective heat transfer as it moved the seal cooler heat exchanger further away from the relatively warm bearing housing and motor, and eliminated the heat source wrapped around the bearing housing allowing the bearing to run cooler. Exelon designed, implemented, and tested the modification (ECP-14-000580) to ensure that the new seal coolers were capable of cooling the seal flow down to temperatures acceptable to the seal manufacturer while not exceeding the emergency core cooling system pump room heat load capacity. Exelons associated calculations verified that the new seal coolers were designed for the applicable seismic loads. Exelons corrective actions also included a detailed bearing life analysis by the vendor to ensure continued CS pump operability under design basis conditions. In addition to the engineering evaluations and hardware modifications, Exelon performed an apparent cause evaluation (ACE) to identify and address any associated human performance and/or programmatic issues that caused or contributed to the CS pump seal cooler issues. The inspectors concluded that Exelon had taken timely and appropriate actions in accordance with Exelons procedures and CAP, 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, and NRC IMC 0326, Operability Determinations &
Functionality Assessments for Conditions Adverse to Quality or Safety. The inspectors determined that Exelons associated ACE and technical evaluations were sufficiently thorough and based on the best available information, sound judgment, the CS system design basis, and relevant operating experience. In general, Exelons assigned corrective actions were aligned with the identified causal factors, adequately tracked, appropriately documented, and completed as scheduled. Based on the documents reviewed, CS system walkdowns, and discussions with engineering personnel, the inspectors noted that Exelon personnel identified problems and entered them into the CAP at a low threshold.
The inspectors noted that maintenance WO C91919395, completed in January 2013, documented restoring the 11 CS shaft fan shroud to its proper as-designed location to maintain adequate directed flow onto the CS pumps housing. However, during a CS system walkdown on November 10, 2015, the inspectors identified that the 11 CS shaft fan shroud was once again positioned in the incorrect bolt holes and located outside its specified design location. In addition, based on a CAP and procedure review, the inspectors identified that Exelon had failed to adequately implement an ACE recommended corrective action (CA-2012-003503) to initiate a change to the CS pump overhaul procedure (PUMP-02) to correct an engineering document reference and provide details on shroud positioning requirements. Exelon personnel implemented the procedure change request; however, only corrections to the engineering document reference were made and did not include shroud positioning requirements. This resulted in maintenance personnel restoring the shroud to the incorrect position following the 11 CS pump overhaul in February 2014 (WO C92173175). Exelon promptly initiated corrective action IRs for the above two performance deficiencies (IR 02585806 and IR 02585813) and restored the shroud to its proper position on November 12, 2015 (WO C93243477). The inspectors independently screened the issues in accordance with IMC 0612, Appendix B, Issue Screening, and IMC 0612, Appendix E, Examples of Minor Issues, and determined that the issues were minor. Specifically, the issues did not result in a reasonable doubt of operability of the 11 CS pump and, even if left uncorrected, did not have the potential to lead to a more significant safety concern.
4OA3 Follow-Up Events and Notices of Enforcement Discretion
.1 Plant Event
a. Inspection Scope
For the plant event listed below, the inspectors reviewed and/or observed plant parameters, reviewed personnel performance, and evaluated performance of mitigating systems. The inspectors communicated the plant event to appropriate regional personnel, and compared the event details with criteria contained in IMC 0309, Reactive Inspection Decision Basis for Reactors, for consideration of potential reactive inspection activities. As applicable, the inspectors verified that Exelon made appropriate emergency classification assessments and properly reported the event in accordance with 10 CFR 50.72 and 50.73. The inspectors reviewed Exelons follow-up actions related to the event to assure that Exelon implemented appropriate corrective actions commensurate with their safety significance.

.2 (Closed) LER 05000317/2014-005-00: Condition Prohibited by Technical Specifications
Due to Auxiliary Feedwater Actuation System Channel Inoperable Due to Human Performance Error On March 14, 2014, with Unit 1 in Mode 3, control room operators observed that AFAS sensor channel ZF high level bistable for 12 SG was tripped and would not reset. The cause was due to 12 SG wide range level transmitter 1LT1124C being isolated due to its manual isolation valve (1HVFVV-1804) being mispositioned in the closed position. This rendered AFAS sensor channel ZF inoperable. Investigation determined that 1HVFVV-1804 was left closed following calibration of 1LT1124C on March 4, 2014. This condition existed within a mode of applicability for approximately 34 hours3.935185e-4 days <br />0.00944 hours <br />5.621693e-5 weeks <br />1.2937e-5 months <br />.

Introduction:
The inspectors documented a self-revealing Green NCV of TS 5.4.1.a for Exelons failure to implement procedures as required by RG 1.33, Appendix A, Section 8, Procedures for Control of Metering and Testing Equipment and for Surveillance Tests, Procedures, and Calibrations, during maintenance which resulted in a manual isolation valve (HVFW-1804) being incorrectly placed in the closed position. This human performance error isolated the number 12 SG wide range level transmitter (1LT1124C)and subsequently rendered the AFAS sensor channel ZF inoperable for 33 hours3.819444e-4 days <br />0.00917 hours <br />5.456349e-5 weeks <br />1.25565e-5 months <br /> and 39 minutes, a condition prohibited by TS 3.3.4, Engineered Safety Features Actuation System (ESFAS) Instrumentation.
Description:
On March 4, 2014, with Unit 1 in Mode 6, Exelon performed STP M-525AT-1, "AFAS Steam Generator Level Transmitter Calibration Checks/Calibration," Revision 0203, for 1LT1124C. During system restoration, a manual isolation valve for 1LT1124C (1HVFW-1804) was left in the closed position. On March 13, 2014, at 6:05 am, Unit 1 entered Mode 3. During plant heatup on March 14, 2014, at 5:45 am, Exelon observed that the AFAS channel ZF sensor high level bistable was tripped and would not reset. At 6:35 am, Exelon declared AFAS sensor channel ZF inoperable, entered TS 3.3.4.A, and placed sensor channel ZF in bypass. Subsequent troubleshooting determined 1LT1124C was isolated due to 1HVFW-1804 being closed. Further investigation by Exelon revealed that the material condition of the valve resulted in the operators questioning the position of the valve during system restoration due to the operating handle being loose. At 3:44 pm, following restoration of 1HVFW-1804 to the correct position and retesting of 1LT1124C, Exelon declared the AFAS sensor channel ZF operable and exited TS condition 3.3.4.A. The inspectors reviewed STP M-525AT-1 and noted that step 6.8 required that 1HVFW-1804 be left in the open position at the completion of the procedure. The inspectors also noted that the mode of applicability for TS 3.3.4 is Mode 3, which Unit 1 entered at 6:05 am on March 13, 2014. This resulted in AFAS sensor channel ZF being inoperable for 33 hours3.819444e-4 days <br />0.00917 hours <br />5.456349e-5 weeks <br />1.25565e-5 months <br /> and 39 minutes. The inspectors noted that TS 3.3.4.A requires that the affected sensor module be placed in bypass or trip within 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br /> and TS 3.3.4.E requires that the unit be placed in Mode 3 within 6 hours6.944444e-5 days <br />0.00167 hours <br />9.920635e-6 weeks <br />2.283e-6 months <br /> and Mode 4 within 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br /> if the required actions and associated completion times of TS 3.3.4.A are not met. The inspectors concluded that Exelon failed to open manual isolation valve 1HVFW-1804 as required by procedure STP-525AT-1.
This rendered AFAS sensor channel ZF inoperable and resulted in exceeding the TS allowed outage time of TS 3.3.4.A and TS 3.3.4.E for this channel. Additionally, the inspectors noted that TS 3.0.4 prohibits entry into a mode or condition of applicability for a TS for which an LCO is not met unless a risk assessment is conducted and risk mitigating actions are taken. No risk assessment was completed, nor risk mitigating actions taken for the AFAS channel being inoperable. Upon identification, Exelon staff entered this issue into their CAP as CR-2014-003320.
Analysis:
The inspectors determined that the failure to properly implement procedure STP M-525AT-1 and place 1HVFW-1804 in its required position was a performance deficiency that was reasonably within Exelons ability to foresee and prevent. The inspectors reviewed IMC 0612, Appendix B, Issue Screening, and determined the issue is more than minor because it adversely affected the configuration control attribute of the Mitigating Systems cornerstone objective to ensure the availability, reliability, and capability of systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences. Specifically, Exelon operated with 1HVFW-1804 closed which resulted in the inoperability of the AFAS sensor channel ZF for approximately 33 hours3.819444e-4 days <br />0.00917 hours <br />5.456349e-5 weeks <br />1.25565e-5 months <br /> and 39 minutes with the plant in Mode 3. In accordance with IMC 0609, Attachment 4, Initial Characterization of Findings, issued on June 19, 2012, and IMC 0609, Appendix A, The Significance Determination Process for Findings at Power, Exhibit 2, Mitigating Systems Screening Questions, issued on June 19, 2012, the inspectors determined that a detailed risk evaluation was necessary to disposition the significance of this finding because the finding represented an actual loss of function of at least a single train of AFAS for greater than its TS allowed outage time. A regional SRA performed a detailed risk evaluation. The finding was determined to be of very low safety significance (Green)because the redundant AFAS sensor was operable and functional to ensure actuation of the system if it had been required, therefore there was no loss of the system function.
Additionally, the unit was in Mode 3 with very low decay heat levels during the time the ZF sensor channel was determined to be inoperable and plant procedures exist to manually start the AFW system if failure of automatic actuation were to occur.
The inspectors determined that the finding has a cross-cutting aspect in the area of Human Performance, Challenge the Unknown, because Exelon did not stop when faced with an uncertain condition about the position of 1HVFW-1804. Specifically, personnel conducting the second verification did not appropriately question the position of 1HVFW-1804 because of the higher experience level of the personnel conducting the first verification.

Enforcement:
TS 5.4.1.a states, in part, that written procedures shall be implemented covering the applicable procedures recommended in RG 1.33, Appendix A, of which Section 8 specifies procedures for control of metering and testing equipment and for surveillance tests, procedures, and calibrations. TS 3.3.4, ESFAS Instrumentation, states Four ESFAS sensor modules, associated measurement channels, and applicable automatic block removal features for each function in table 3.3.4-1 shall be operable.
Procedure STP M-525AT-1 implements this requirement for TS 3.3.4, ESFAS instrumentation, Condition A, One or more functions with ESFAS sensor module or associated measurement channel inoperable, states, Place affected sensor module in bypass or trip with one hour and restore affected sensor module and associated measurement channel to operable status within 48 hours5.555556e-4 days <br />0.0133 hours <br />7.936508e-5 weeks <br />1.8264e-5 months <br /> or Place affected sensor module in trip within 48 hours5.555556e-4 days <br />0.0133 hours <br />7.936508e-5 weeks <br />1.8264e-5 months <br />. TS 3.3.4, Condition E, states, if Required action and associated completion time not met, then be in Mode 3 within 6 hours6.944444e-5 days <br />0.00167 hours <br />9.920635e-6 weeks <br />2.283e-6 months <br /> and be in Mode 4 within 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br />. Contrary to this, from March 4, 2014, through March 14, 2014, Exelon failed to properly implement STP M-525AT-1. Specifically, Exelon failed to open manual isolation valve 1HVFW-1804 which resulted in AFAS sensor channel ZF being inoperable in Mode 3 for 33 hours3.819444e-4 days <br />0.00917 hours <br />5.456349e-5 weeks <br />1.25565e-5 months <br /> and 39 minutes and a subsequent violation of TS 3.3.4.A and 3.3.4.E. Specifically, Exelon did not ensure that valve 1HVFW-1804 was open as required by procedure STP M-525T-1 and subsequently entered into Mode 3 when the TS 3.3.4 did not allow it. Exelons immediate corrective action was to enter TS 3.3.4.A, determine and correct the cause, and retest the system for proper operation.
Because this issue is of very low safety significance (Green) and has been entered into Exelons CAP (CR-2014-003320), this violation is being treated as an NCV, consistent with Section 2.3.2.a of the Enforcement Policy. (NCV-05000317/2015004-02: AFAS Channel Inoperable due to Valve Misposition)
.3 (Closed) LER 05000317, 318/2015-001-00: Component Cooling and Shutdown Heat
Exchanger Lineup Potential to Exceed Design Basis Temperatures On January 22, 2015, it was determined that a certain line-up of component cooling and shutdown cooling heat exchangers could exceed the design basis outlet temperatures for the component cooling water (CCW) system following a design basis accident.
Although not a safety concern at the time of discovery because of low ultimate heat sink temperatures, which cools CCW, in the past, the ultimate heat sink temperature had been high enough to create this condition. A review of control room logs for the previous three years identified periods of time where Unit 1 and Unit 2 were in an unanalyzed line-up with the ultimate heat sink temperatures greater than the maximum allowed.
This condition resulted in both CCW loops being inoperable due to their cross-connected design. The cause of the event was the failure to evaluate some CCW system testing and maintenance line-ups to ensure consistency with the design assumptions.
Corrective actions taken to date include revising several emergency operating and abnormal operating procedures to provide operators direction, and updating the TS Bases. Additional evaluation(s) will be performed to further define the operable basis for CCW configurations.
The inspectors reviewed actions taken by Exelon to address the CCW alignment concerns. The inspectors found that Exelon made modifications to the plant to allow operators to isolate the CCW heat exchangers and revised operating procedures to isolate the CCW heat exchanger in the event cooling water is lost to the heat exchanger.
Additionally, Exelon changed its license through the 10 CFR 50.59 process in order to credit operator actions, in response to certain single failure events, to manually isolate the CCW system in order to ensure the CCW system would be placed in an analyzed lineup for all design basis events. Inspectors reviewed the implementation of the licensing change and changes to operating procedures in order to determine if Exelons corrective actions were consistent with the design and licensing. The inspectors identified that a violation of TS 3.7.5.A had occurred. The enforcement aspects of this issue were previously discussed in an NRC inspection report as NCV 05000317, 318/2015-001-01. No new issues were identified. This LER is closed.
.4 (Closed) LER 05000317, 318/2015-002-00: Calvert Cliffs Unit 1 and Unit 2 Automatic
Reactor Trips Due to Transmission System Disturbance On April 7, 2015, Calvert Cliffs experienced a dual unit trip due to an off-site grid disturbance resulting in an undervoltage condition that caused all four Engineered Safety Features (ESF) buses to trip. Due to this condition, all of the EDGs started and loaded with the exception of 2B EDG which started but tripped due to a failed electronic speed switch in the startup circuitry. The associated 4 kV ESF bus was repowered from the normal power source. Additionally, while 2A EDG energized its respective 4 kV ESF bus, the associated shutdown sequencer failed to start the 21 SW pump which was subsequently manually started after approximately 12 minutes with no SW flow. The failed sequencer also failed to restart the 22 instrument air compressor leading to a low oil pressure lockout of the compressor. Also, the Unit 2 newly installed digital feedwater control system experienced a loss of power and shifted to a mode of operation for which no procedural guidance existed. This led to all Unit 2 feed regulating valves automatically shutting, and a subsequent AFAS actuation. Unit 1 tripped on loss of all power to generator excitation and all required safety systems responded as designed.
Unit 2 tripped due to generator loss of load and is classified as an unplanned scram with complications as 24 4 kV ESF bus was de-energized for greater than 10 minutes. The failed 2B EDG speed switch and 2A EDG shutdown sequencer were replaced and tested with satisfactory results. Exelon initiated corrective actions to update procedures to combat a loss of main feedwater caused by a loss of power to the digital feedwater control system and for combating the loss of instrument air when the cause is a loss of power to the instrument air compressors.
Exelon identified that the failure to adequately establish, implement, and maintain procedures as required by RG 1.33, Appendix A, Section 6, for combatting the loss of instrument air and feedwater are minor violations of TS 5.4.1.a. Specifically, procedures in place at the time of the event did not provide guidance for resetting the main feedwater control system after a loss of power to digital control system. Also, procedures in place at the time of the event did not provide adequate guidance for restarting an instrument air compressor if the compressor was shut down due to a loss of power. These failures to comply with TS 5.4.1.a constitute minor violations that are not subject to enforcement action in accordance with the NRCs Enforcement Policy.
The violations were determined to be minor because the inadequacies noted in Exelons procedures did not raise the likelihood of events that upset plant stability and did not affect systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences.
Inspection of this event was previously documented in Special Inspection Report 05000317, 318/2015009. The inspectors did not identify any new issues during the review of the LER. This LER is closed.
4OA6 Meetings, Including Exit
Exit Meeting Summary
On January 20, 2016, the inspectors presented the inspection results to Mr. Mark Flaherty, Plant Manager, and other members of the Exelon staff. The inspectors verified that no proprietary information was retained by the inspectors or documented in this report.
4OA7 Licensee-Identified Violations
The following violations of Severity Level IV were identified by Exelon and are violations of NRC requirements which meet the criteria of the NRC Enforcement Policy for being dispositioned as NCVs.
10 CFR 55.25 states, in part, that if an operator develops a permanent physical or mental condition that causes the operator to fail to meet the requirements of 10 CFR 55.21, the facility licensee shall notify the Commission within 30 days of learning of the diagnosis, in accordance with 10 CFR 50.74(c) which states that the regional administrator shall be notified if a licensed operator develops a permanent disability or illness. Contrary to these requirements, as the result of Exelons medical examination audit completed August 8, 2014, Exelon identified four cases in which a change in licensed operator medical conditions were not communicated to the NRC within the required 30 days. The results of the medical examination audit were documented in IR 2423780 and subsequent notifications were made to the NRC.
This violation is subject to traditional enforcement because of the potential impact upon the regulatory process for issuing restrictions to operators licenses. The inspectors determined that this issue meets the criteria for a Severity Level IV violation using example 6.4.d.1(a) from the NRC Enforcement Policy because no incorrect regulatory decision was made as the result of the failure of the licensee to report within 30 days. This is of very low safety significance because after NRC review of the subsequent notifications, no changes to license restrictions were required.
10 CFR 55.21 and 10 CFR 55.33 state, in part, that licensed operators are required to have a physical examination every two years to ensure that their medical condition and general health will not adversely affect the performance of assigned operator job duties or cause operational errors endangering public health and safety. As part of licensed operator medical evaluations, screening questions to identify potentially disqualifying medical conditions are required as specified in ANSI/ANS-3.4-1983, Medical Certification and Monitoring of Personnel Requiring Operator Licenses for Nuclear Power Plants. Contrary to this requirement, as a result of Exelons medical examination audit completed August 8, 2014, Exelon identified nine
- (9) licensed operators who were given an incomplete health questionnaire during their biennial medical examination. The questionnaire failed to request information about seven
- (7) potentially disqualifying health conditions from ANSI/ANS-3.4-1983 during a biennial medical examination. The omission of these seven potentially disqualifying conditions from the questionnaire resulted in an incomplete medical examination.
Exelon identified that the cause was an incorrect revision to the sites medical examination process procedure. The revision issue was corrected in a subsequent revision and the audit documented that the nine licensed operators all completed medical evaluations with the correct screening questions within the next 18 months. The results of the medical examination audit were documented in IR 2423783.
This violation is subject to traditional enforcement because of the potential impact upon regulatory process because the operators medical conditions are reviewed by the NRC when issuing or renewing operator licenses. The inspectors determined that this issue meets the criteria for a Severity Level IV violation using example 6.4.d.1(c) from the NRC Enforcement Policy because the operators who potentially did not meet ANSI/ANS-3.4, Section 5, due to an incomplete medical examination, subsequently were found to meet the health requirements for licensing. This is of very low safety significance because no incorrect regulatory decision was made as a result of the incomplete medical questionnaire and because no changes to license restrictions were required.
