SUBJECT: PERRY NUCLEAR POWER PLANT NRC INTEGRATED INSPECTION REPORT 05000440/2008005

Dear Mr. Bezilla:

On December 31, 2008, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed an inspection at your Perry Nuclear Power Plant. The enclosed report documents the inspection findings which were discussed on January 15, 2009, with you and members of your staff. The inspection examined activities conducted under your license as they relate to safety and compliance with the Commission's rules and regulations and with the conditions of your license. The inspectors reviewed selected procedures and records, observed activities, and interviewed personnel. Based on the results of this inspection, two NRC-identified and one self-revealed findings of very low safety significance were identified. Two of the findings identified also involved violations of NRC requirements. In addition, one NRC-identified violation of NRC requirements, without an associated finding, was identified. Two licensee-identified violations are listed in Section 4OA7 of this report. However, because of the very low safety significance and because the issues were entered into your corrective action program, the NRC is treating these issues as non-cited violations in accordance with Section VI.A.1 of the NRC's Enforcement Policy. If you contest the subject or severity of any non-cited violation 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 U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, ATTN: Document Control Desk, Washington, DC 20555-0001; with copies to the Regional Administrator, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Region III, 2443 Warrenville Road, Suite 210, Lisle, IL 60532-4352; the Director, Office of Enforcement, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555-0001; and the NRC Resident Inspectors' Office at the Perry Nuclear Power Plant. In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 of the NRC's "Rules of Practice," a copy of this letter and its enclosure will be available electronically for public inspection in the NRC Public Document Room or from the Publicly Available Records (PARS) component of NRC's document system (ADAMS), accessible from the NRC Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html (the Public Electronic Reading Room).

SUMMARY OF FINDINGS

IR 05000440/2008005; 10/01/2008 - 12/31/2008; Refueling and Other Outage Activities; Follow-up of Events and Notices of Enforcement Discretion. The inspection was conducted by resident and regional inspectors. The report covers a three month period of resident inspection. The significance of most findings is indicated by their color (Green, White, Yellow, Red) using Inspection Manual Chapter (IMC) 0609 "Significance Determination Process" (SDP). Findings for which the SDP does not apply may be "Green," or be assigned a severity level after NRC management review. The NRC's program for overseeing the safe operation of commercial nuclear power reactors is described in NUREG-1649, "Reactor Oversight Process," Revision 4, dated July 2006. A. Inspector-Identified and Self-Revealed Findings

Cornerstone: Initiating Event

Green.

The inspectors identified a finding of very low safety significance (Green) and an associated non-cited violation of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion V, "Instructions, Procedures and Drawings." Specifically, the licensee failed to perform nondestructive testing of reactor pressure vessel (RPV) head strongback major load carrying welds and critical areas required by American National Standards Institute (ANSI) N14.6-1978. The issue was entered into the licensee's corrective action program, and the licensee revised a procedure to perform nondestructive testing of RPV head strongback major load carrying welds and critical areas. The finding was determined to be more than minor because the finding was associated with the Initiating Events cornerstone objective to limit the likelihood of events that upset plant stability and challenge critical safety functions during shutdown. Specifically, the purpose of the nondestructive testing of RPV head strongback major load carrying welds and critical areas is to limit the likelihood of a RPV head strongback structural component failure, and hence, to ensure safe load handling of heavy loads over the reactor core or over safety-related systems, structures and components. The inspectors determined that the finding was of very low safety significance following a qualitative significance determination process review. The finding has a cross-cutting aspect in the area of human performance as defined in Inspection Manual Chapter 0305 H.2(c), because the licensee did not provide a complete, accurate, and up-to-date procedure to plant personnel. (Section 1R20.1.b.(1))

Green.

The inspectors identified a finding of very low safety significance (Green) and an associated non-cited violation of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion III, "Design Control," in that, the design basis structural analysis for the containment polar crane trolley did not adequately evaluate the trolley seismic restraints. Specifically, the trolley seismic restraint calculation failed to ensure that design stresses remained below acceptance limits. Also, the as-built configuration of the trolley seismic restraints was not in accordance with the analyzed condition. As a result, the design basis calculation was not sufficient to ensure conformance with Seismic Category I requirements for safe load handling of heavy loads over the reactor core or over safety-related systems, structures and components. The issues were entered into the licensee's corrective action program. The licensee initiated the revision of the trolley seismic restraint calculation and the restoration of the trolley seismic restraint as-built condition to meet Seismic Category I requirements. The finding was determined to be more than minor because the finding was associated with the Initiating Events cornerstone attribute of equipment performance and affected the cornerstone objective to limit the likelihood of those events that upset plant stability and challenge critical safety functions during shutdown. Specifically, compliance with Seismic Category I design requirements was to ensure safe load handling of heavy loads over the reactor core or over safety-related systems, structures and components. The inspectors determined that the finding was of very low safety significance following a qualitative significance determination process review. (Section 1R20.1.b.(2))

Cornerstone: Mitigating Systems

• Severity Level IV The inspectors identified a non-cited violation of 10 CFR 50.73(a)(1), "Licensee Event Reports." The inspectors determined that the licensee failed to submit a required Licensee Event Report (LER) within 60 days after discovery of conditions requiring a report. On August 26, 2007, the licensee identified improperly installed containment floor grating that affected safety system operability. The licensee failed to report conditions of operations prohibited by Technical Specification, operations in an unanalyzed condition, and loss of safety function from August 6 to August 9, 2007, that were associated with inoperability of low pressure core injection 'A.' The licensee entered this issue into their corrective action program. The primary cause of this non-cited violation was related to the cross-cutting area of problem identification and resolution as defined in Inspection Manual Chapter 0305 P.1(c) because the licensee failed to thoroughly evaluate problems for reportability conditions. (Section 4OA3.2)

Cornerstone: Emergency Preparedness

Green A finding of very low safety significance was self-revealed on October 30, 2008, when licensee personnel failed to appropriately respond to a Technical Support Center (TSC) computer room high temperature alarm. As a result, electrical power supply to plant emergency response equipment and control systems was interrupted. Affected systems included the Integrated Computer System (ICS), Emergency Response Data System (ERDS), one train of power to the Digital Feedwater Control System (DFWCS), and the chemistry computer. As part of their immediate corrective actions, licensee personnel restored the affected systems entered the issue into their corrective action program. This finding is considered more than minor because it was associated with the Facilities and Equipment attribute of the Emergency Preparedness Cornerstone and affected the objective of ensuring the licensee is capable of implementing adequate measures to protect the health and safety of the public in the event of a radiological emergency. The finding was determined to be of very low safety significance because the equipment was restored to a functional status in less than seven days. This finding had a cross-cutting aspect in the area of Problem Identification and Resolution because the organization failed to ensure that issues were identified accurately and in a timely manner commensurate with their significance as defined in Inspection Manual Chapter 0305 P.1(a). (Section 4OA3.1)

B. Licensee-Identified Violations

Two violations of very low safety significance that were identified by the licensee were reviewed by the inspectors. Corrective actions planned or taken by the licensee have been entered into the licensee's corrective action program. The violations and corrective action tracking numbers are listed in Section 4OA7 of this report.

REPORT DETAILS

Summary of Plant Status

The plant began the inspection period at 100 percent power. With the exception of planned power reductions for routine testing, rod alignments, and maintenance, the plant remained at 100 percent power through the end of the inspection period.

REACTOR SAFETY

Cornerstones: Initiating Events, Mitigating Systems, Barrier Integrity, and Emergency Preparedness

1R01 Adverse Weather Protection

.1 Winter Seasonal Readiness Preparations

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors conducted a review of the licensee's preparations for winter conditions to verify that the plant's design features and implementation of procedures were sufficient to protect mitigating systems from the effects of adverse weather. Documentation for selected risk-significant systems was reviewed to ensure that these systems would remain functional when challenged by inclement weather. During the inspection, the inspectors focused on plant-specific design features and the licensee's procedures used to mitigate or respond to adverse weather conditions. Additionally, the inspectors reviewed the Updated Final Safety Analysis Report (UFSAR) and performance requirements for systems selected for inspection, and verified that operator actions were appropriate as specified by plant specific procedures. Cold weather protection, such as heat tracing and area heaters, was verified to be in operation where applicable. The inspectors also reviewed corrective action program (CAP) items to verify that the licensee was identifying adverse weather issues at an appropriate threshold and entering them into their CAP in accordance with station corrective action procedures. Specific documents reviewed during this inspection are listed in the Attachment. The inspectors' reviews focused on the following due to their risk significance or susceptibility to cold weather issues:

• heat trace system,

• circulating water, and

• service water.

This inspection constituted one winter seasonal readiness preparations sample as defined in Inspection Procedure (IP) 71111.01-05.

b. Findings

No findings of significance were identified.

5 Enclosure

.2 External Flooding

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors evaluated the design, material condition, and procedures for coping with the design basis probable maximum flood. The evaluation included a review to check for deviations from the descriptions provided in the UFSAR for features intended to mitigate the potential for flooding from external factors. As part of this evaluation, the inspectors checked for obstructions that could prevent draining, checked that the roofs did not contain obvious loose items that could clog drains in the event of heavy precipitation, and determined that barriers required to mitigate the flood were in place and operable. Additionally, the inspectors performed a walkdown of the protected area to identify any modification to the site which would inhibit site drainage during a probable maximum precipitation event or allow water ingress past a barrier. The inspectors also walked down underground bunkers/manholes subject to flooding that contained multiple train or multiple function risk-significant cables. The inspectors also reviewed the abnormal operating procedure for mitigating the design basis flood to ensure it could be implemented as written.

The inspectors reviewed Operating Experience Smart Sample (OpESS) FY2007-02, "Flooding Vulnerabilities Due To Inadequate Design And Conduit/Hydrostatic Seal Barrier Concerns," as part of this inspection sample.

This inspection constituted one external flooding sample as defined in IP 71111.01-05.

b. Findings

No findings of significance were identified.

1R04 Equipment Alignment

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors performed partial system walkdowns of the following risk-significant systems:

• low pressure core spray (LPCS) during alternate decay heat removal (ADHR) installation during the week of October 20, 2008;

• emergency closed cooling (ECC) 'A' during the week of November 3, 2008;

• Division 1 Emergency Diesel Generator (EDG) during the week of November 3, 2008, and;

• Division 2 EDG during the week of November 10, 2008. The inspectors selected these systems based on their risk significance relative to the reactor safety cornerstones at the time they were inspected. The inspectors attempted to identify any discrepancies that could impact the function of the systems, and, therefore, potentially increase risk. The inspectors reviewed applicable operating procedures, system diagrams, UFSAR, Technical Specification (TS) requirements, outstanding work orders (WOs), condition reports (CRs), and the impact of ongoing work activities on redundant trains of equipment in order to identify conditions that could have rendered the systems incapable of performing their intended functions. The inspectors 6 Enclosure also walked down accessible portions of the systems to verify system components and support equipment were aligned correctly and operable. The inspectors examined the material condition of the components and observed operating parameters of equipment to verify that there were no obvious deficiencies. The inspectors also verified that the licensee had properly identified and resolved equipment alignment problems that could cause initiating events or impact the capability of mitigating systems or barriers and entered them into the CAP with the appropriate significance characterization. Documents reviewed are listed in the Attachment.

The inspectors completed a review of OpESS FY2008-01, "Negative Trend and Recurring Events Involving Emergency Diesel Generators," as part of their inspection samples associated with the EDGs.

These activities constituted four quarterly partial system walkdown samples as defined in IP 71111.04-05.

b. Findings

No findings of significance were identified.

1R05 Fire Protection (Annual/Quarterly)

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors conducted fire protection walkdowns which were focused on availability, accessibility, and the condition of firefighting equipment in the following risk-significant plant areas:

• Division 1, 2, and 3 Switchgear Rooms, Control Complex elevation 620';

• Intermediate Building elevation 620';

• Auxiliary Building elevation 574';

• Auxiliary Building elevation 620';

• Turbine Power Complex; and

• Turbine Building 620' East elevation. The inspectors reviewed areas to assess if the licensee had implemented a fire protection program that adequately controlled combustibles and ignition sources within the plant, effectively maintained fire detection and suppression capability, maintained passive fire protection features in good material condition, and had implemented adequate compensatory measures for out of service, degraded or inoperable fire protection equipment, systems, or features in accordance with the licensee's fire plan. The inspectors selected fire areas based on their overall contribution to internal fire risk as documented in the plant's Individual Plant Examination of External Events with later additional insights, their potential to impact equipment which could initiate or mitigate a plant transient, or their impact on the plant's ability to respond to a security event. Using the documents listed in the attachment, the inspectors verified that fire hoses and extinguishers were in their designated locations and available for immediate use; that fire detectors and sprinklers were unobstructed; that transient material loading was within the analyzed limits; and fire doors, dampers, and penetration seals appeared to be in satisfactory condition. The inspectors also verified that minor issues identified 7 Enclosure during the inspection were entered into the licensee's CAP. Documents reviewed are listed in the Attachment to this report.

These activities constituted six quarterly fire protection inspection samples as defined in IP 71111.05-05.

b. Findings

No findings of significance were identified.

1R11 Licensed Operator Requalification Program

.1 Resident Inspector Quarterly Review

a. Inspection Scope

On October 7, 2008, the inspectors observed a crew of licensed operators in the plant's simulator during licensed operator requalification examinations to verify that operator performance was adequate, evaluators were identifying and documenting crew performance problems and training was being conducted in accordance with licensee procedures. The inspectors evaluated the following areas:

• licensed operator performance;

• clarity and formality of communications;

• ability to take timely actions in the conservative direction;

• prioritization, interpretation, and verification of annunciator alarms;

• correct use and implementation of abnormal and emergency procedures;

• control board manipulations;

• oversight and direction from supervisors; and

• ability to identify and implement appropriate TS actions and Emergency Plan actions and notifications.

The crew's performance in these areas was compared to pre-established operator action expectations and successful critical task completion requirements. Documents reviewed are listed in the Attachment to this report.

This inspection constitutes one quarterly licensed operator requalification program sample as defined in IP 71111.11.

The reviewed operating examination material consisted of five operating tests, each containing approximately two dynamic simulator scenarios and approximately eight job performance measures (JPMs). The written examinations reviewed consisted of five written examinations, each containing approximately 40 questions. The inspectors reviewed the annual requalification operating test and biennial written examination material to evaluate general quality, construction, and difficulty level. The inspectors assessed the level of examination material duplication from week-to-week during the current year operating test. The examiners assessed the amount of written examination material duplication from week-to-week for the written examination administered in 2006. The inspectors reviewed the methodology for developing the examinations, including the LORT program two-year sample plan, probabilistic risk assessment insights, previously identified operator performance deficiencies, and plant modifications. The documents reviewed during this inspection are listed in the Attachment.

b. Findings

No findings of significance were identified.

.4 Licensee Administration of Requalification Examinations

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors observed the administration of a requalification operating test to assess the licensee's effectiveness in conducting the test to ensure compliance with 10 CRF 55.59(c)(4). The inspectors evaluated the performance of one crew in parallel with the facility evaluators during two dynamic simulator scenarios and evaluated various licensed crew members concurrently with facility evaluators during the administration of several JPMs. The inspectors assessed the facility evaluators' ability to determine adequate crew and individual performance using objective, measurable standards. The inspectors observed the training staff personnel administer the operating test, including conducting pre-examination briefings, evaluations of operator performance, and individual and crew evaluations upon completion of the operating test. The inspectors evaluated the ability of the simulator to support the examinations. A specific evaluation of simulator performance was conducted and documented in the section below titled, "Conformance With Simulator Requirements Specified in 10 CFR 55.46." The documents reviewed during this inspection are listed in the attachment.

9 Enclosure

b. Findings

.5 Examination Security

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors observed and reviewed the licensee's overall licensed operator requalification examination security program related to examination physical security (e.g., access restrictions and simulator considerations) and integrity (e.g., predictability and bias) to verify compliance with 10 CFR 55.49, "Integrity of Examinations and Tests." The inspectors also reviewed the licensee's examination security procedure, any corrective actions related to past or present examination security problems at the facility, and the implementation of security and integrity measures (e.g., security agreements, sampling criteria, bank use, and test item repetition) throughout the examination process. The documents reviewed during this inspection are listed in the Attachment.

b. Findings

No findings of significance were identified.

.6 Licensee Training Feedback System

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors assessed the methods and effectiveness of the licensee's processes for revising and maintaining its LORT program up to date, including the use of feedback from plant events and industry experience information. The inspectors reviewed the licensee's quality assurance oversight activities, including licensee training department self-assessment reports. The inspectors evaluated the licensee's ability to assess the effectiveness of its LORT program and their ability to implement appropriate corrective actions. This evaluation was performed to verify compliance with 10 CFR 55.59(c) and the licensee's SAT program. The documents reviewed during this inspection are listed in the Attachment.

b. Findings

No findings of significance were identified.

.7 Licensee Remedial Training Program

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors assessed the adequacy and effectiveness of the remedial training conducted since the previous biennial requalification examinations and the training from the current examination cycle to ensure that they addressed weaknesses in licensed operator or crew performance identified during training and plant operations. The inspectors reviewed remedial training procedures and individual remedial training plans. This evaluation was performed in accordance with 10 CFR 55.59(c) and with respect to 10 Enclosure the licensee's SAT program. The documents reviewed during this inspection are listed in the Attachment.

b. Findings

No findings of significance were identified.

.8 Conformance with Operator License Conditions

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors reviewed the facility and individual operator licensees' conformance with the requirements of 10 CFR Part 55. The inspectors reviewed the facility licensee's program for maintaining active operator licenses and to assess compliance with 10 CFR 55.53(e) and (f). The inspectors reviewed the procedural guidance and the process for tracking on-shift hours for licensed operators and which control room positions were granted watch-standing credit for maintaining active operator licenses. The inspectors reviewed the licensee's LORT program to assess compliance with the requalification program requirements as described by 10 CFR 55.59(c). Medical records for 12 licensed operators were reviewed for compliance with 10 CFR 55.53(I). Condition Report 08-49100 was reviewed. Documents reviewed during this inspection are listed in the Attachment.

b. Findings

No findings of significance were identified. However, the licensee identified a finding of very low safety significance concerning a failure to notify the NRC of an operator's termination of employment within 30 days. See Section 4AO7 of this report for final disposition.

.9 Conformance with Simulator Requirements Specified in 10 CFR 55.46

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors assessed the adequacy of the licensee's simulation facility (simulator) for use in operator licensing examinations and for satisfying experience requirements as prescribed in 10 CFR 55.46, "Simulation Facilities." The inspectors also reviewed a sample of simulator performance test records (i.e., transient tests, malfunction tests, steady state tests, and core performance tests), simulator discrepancies, and the process for ensuring continued assurance of simulator fidelity in accordance with 10 CFR 55.46. The inspectors reviewed and evaluated the discrepancy process to ensure that simulator fidelity was maintained. Open simulator discrepancies were reviewed for importance relative to the impact on 10 CFR 55.45 and 55.59 operator actions as well as on nuclear and thermal hydraulic operating characteristics. The inspectors conducted interviews with members of the licensee's simulator staff about the configuration control process and completed the IP 71111.11, Appendix C, checklist to evaluate whether or not the licensee's plant-referenced simulator was operating adequately as required by 10 CFR 55.46(c) and (d). The documents reviewed during this inspection are listed in the Attachment.

11 Enclosure

b. Findings

1R12 Maintenance Effectiveness

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors evaluated degraded performance issues involving the following risk-significant systems:

• process radiation monitoring system;

• plant integrated computer system;

• feedwater system; and

• plant electrical components.

The inspectors reviewed events such as where ineffective equipment maintenance had resulted in valid or invalid automatic actuations of engineered safeguards systems, and independently verified the licensee's actions to address system performance or condition problems in terms of the following:

• implementing appropriate work practices;

• identifying and addressing common cause failures;

• scoping of systems in accordance with 10 CFR 50.65(b) of the maintenance rule;

• characterizing system reliability issues for performance;

• charging unavailability for performance;

• trending key parameters for condition monitoring;

• ensuring 10 CFR 50.65(a)(1) or (a)(2) classification or re-classification; and

• verifying appropriate performance criteria for structures, systems, and components/functions classified as (a)(2); or appropriate and adequate goals and corrective actions for systems classified as (a)(1).

12 Enclosure The inspectors assessed performance issues with respect to the reliability, availability, and condition monitoring of the system. In addition, the inspectors verified maintenance effectiveness issues were entered into the CAP with the appropriate significance characterization. Documents reviewed are listed in the Attachment to this report.

This inspection constituted four quarterly maintenance effectiveness samples as defined in IP 71111.12-05.

b. Findings

Introduction:

An Unresolved Item (URI 05000440/2008005-05) was opened related to unplanned unavailability of the motor feedwater pump (MFP) after it was placed in 10 CFR 50.65(a)(1) status.

Description:

The licensee determined that the feedwater system met 10 CFR 50.65(a)(1) status on January 31, 2008, because system unavailability exceeded established performance criteria. Events that contributed to unavailability included two losses of feedwater associated with the feedwater digital control problems and four occasions of water intrusion into the MFP lube oil system in 2007. The licensee implemented corrective actions and goals to assure that the feedwater system was capable of fulfilling its intended functions.

On March 29, 2008, and on August 7, 2008, the MFP again was rendered unavailable due to water intrusion into the MFP lube oil system. On October 14, 2008, the licensee decided to extend a corrective action to replace a MFP seal from December 2008 to April 2009. Due to the repeated MFP unavailability events after the system was placed in 10 CFR 50.65(a)(1) status, the inspectors were concerned whether the licensee's corrective actions were appropriate. The inspectors determined this issue required further review.

1R13 Maintenance Risk Assessments and Emergent Work Control

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors reviewed the licensee's evaluation and management of plant risk for the maintenance and emergent work activities affecting risk-significant and safety-related equipment listed below to verify that the appropriate risk assessments were performed prior to removing equipment for work:

• Division 1 EDG maintenance outage during the week of September 29, 2008;

• Division 2 EDG maintenance outage during the week of November 3, 2008; and

• reactor feed booster pump and safety, service and instrument air system maintenance during the week of December 8, 2008.

These activities were selected based on their potential risk significance relative to the reactor safety cornerstones. As applicable for each activity, the inspectors verified that risk assessments were performed as required by 10 CFR 50.65(a)(4) and were accurate and complete. When emergent work was performed, the inspectors verified that the plant risk was promptly reassessed and managed. The inspectors reviewed the scope of maintenance work, discussed the results of the assessment with the licensee's probabilistic risk analyst or shift technical advisor, and verified plant conditions were 13 Enclosure consistent with the risk assessment. The inspectors also reviewed TS requirements and walked down portions of redundant safety systems, when applicable, to verify risk analysis assumptions were valid and applicable requirements were met.

These maintenance risk assessments and emergent work control activities constituted three samples as defined in IP 71111.13-05.

b. Findings

No findings of significance were identified.

1R15 Operability Evaluations

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors reviewed the following issues:

• residual heat removal (RHR) heat exchanger 'B' performance concerns during the week of November 3, 2008;

• Feedwater nozzle weld flaw evaluations during the weeks of November 17 and November 24, 2008; and

• emergency service water (ESW) system fish intrusions during the week of December 22, 2008.

The inspectors selected these potential operability issues based on the risk significance of the associated components and systems. The inspectors evaluated the technical adequacy of the evaluations to ensure that TS operability was properly justified and the subject component or system remained available such that no unrecognized increase in risk occurred. The inspectors compared the operability and design criteria in the appropriate sections of the TS and Updated Safety Analysis Report (USAR) to the licensee's evaluations, to determine whether the components or systems were operable.

Where compensatory measures were required to maintain operability, the inspectors determined whether the measures in place would function as intended and were properly controlled. The inspectors determined, where appropriate, compliance with bounding limitations associated with the evaluations. Additionally, the inspectors also reviewed a sampling of corrective action documents to verify that the licensee was identifying and correcting any deficiencies associated with operability evaluations. Documents reviewed are listed in the attachment.

These inspections constitute three samples as defined in IP 71111.15.-05.

b. Findings

No findings of significance were identified.

1R18 Plant Modifications

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors reviewed the following temporary modifications:

• TM ECP 08-0323-001; Electrical Jumper Across Drywell Equipment Drain Sump Pump Contact #1; and

• noble metal chemistry injection system.

The inspectors compared the temporary configuration changes and associated 10 CFR 50.59 screening and evaluation information against the design basis, the UFSAR, and the TS, as applicable, to verify that the modification did not affect the operability or availability of the affected system(s). The inspectors also compared the licensee's information to operating experience information to ensure that lessons learned from other utilities had been incorporated into the licensee's decision to implement the temporary modification. The inspectors, as applicable, performed field verifications to ensure that the modifications were installed as directed; the modifications operated as expected; modification testing adequately demonstrated continued system operability, availability, and reliability; and that operation of the modifications did not impact the operability of any interfacing systems. Lastly, the inspectors discussed the temporary modification with operations, engineering, and training personnel to ensure that the individuals were aware of how extended operation with the temporary modification in place could impact overall plant performance.

These inspection activities constituted two temporary modification samples as defined in IP 71111.18-05.

b. Findings

No findings of significance were identified.

1R19 Post-Maintenance Testing

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors reviewed the following post-maintenance activities for review to verify that procedures and test activities were adequate to ensure system operability and functional capability:

• LPCS and 'A' RHR waterleg pump motor replacement completed on October 4, 2008;

• emergency core cooling water (ECCW) 'A' heat exchanger hydramotor overhaul completed on October 2, 2008;

• ECCW 'B' heat exchanger temperature controller maintenance completed on November 5, 2008;

1R20 Refueling and Other Outage Activities

.1 Refueling Outage ActivitiesCrane and Heavy Lift Inspection (OpESS FY2007-03)

a. Inspection Scope

b. Findings

(1) Inspection Procedure for RPV Head Strongback Omitted Non-Destructive Testing of Structural Welds

Introduction:

The inspectors identified an non-cited violation (NCV) of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion V, "Instructions, Procedures, and Drawings," having very low safety significance (Green), in that, the preventative maintenance procedure did not include nondestructive testing of RPV head strongback major load carrying welds and critical areas specified in ANSI N14.6-1978 prior to each use. As a result, the licensee used the RPV head strongback during each refueling outage without performing nondestructive testing of the RPV head strongback welds.

Description:

As described in UFSAR Section 9.1.4.2.5.7, the RPV head strongback was an integrated piece of equipment consisting of a cruciform shaped strongback, a circular monorail and a circular storage tray. The strongback was a box beam structure which had a hook box with two hook pins in the center for engagement with the containment polar crane sister hook. Each arm had a lift rod for engagement to the four lift lugs on the RPV head. The RPV head strongback carousel was nuclear safety-related as shown on Drawing No. 23-0119-00000, "Head Strongback Carousel", Revision A. A Seismic Category I design function of the RPV head strongback was lifting of the RPV head. The strongback, when suspended from the containment polar crane main hook will transport RPV head plus the carousel between the reactor vessel and storage on the pedestals as described in UFSAR Section 9.1.4.2.5.7.

The inspector reviewed the licensee's submittals and commitments related to the Generic Letters (GLs)80-113 and 81-07, "Control of Heavy Loads." Appendix K of Supplement No. 5 to NUREG-0887, "Safety Evaluation Report Related to the Operation of Perry Nuclear Power Plant, Units 1 and 2," indicates, special lifting devices used for the movement of heavy loads shall meet the requirements stated in ANSI N14.6-1978.

17 Enclosure Section 5.3.1., of ANSI N14.6-1978 requires that each special lifting device be subjected to, either a load test, or dimensional testing, visual inspection, and nondestructive testing of major load carrying welds and critical areas. The licensee did not perform a load test of the RPV head strongback prior to each use.

The inspectors noted that RPV head strongback carousel preventative maintenance procedure PMI-0085 did not include the ANSI N14.6-1978 requirement to perform nondestructive testing of major load-carrying welds and critical areas. The licensee could not produce documentation to verify nondestructive testing of RPV head strongback welds were performed during each refueling outage.

In response to this concern, the licensee initiated CR 08-50414 on December 3, 2008. The licensee subsequently revised PMI-0085 to include the requirement of ANSI N14.6-1978 as part of work activity initiation number 600510692, (i.e., perform nondestructive testing of RPV head strongback major load carrying welds) and critical areas.

Analysis:

The inspectors determined that the failure to perform nondestructive testing of the RPV head strongback major load carrying welds and critical areas was contrary to the ANSI N14.6-1978 requirement and was a performance deficiency.

The finding was determined to be more than minor in accordance with IMC 0612, Appendix B, "Issue and Screening," Minor Question 4 because the finding was associated with the Initiating Events cornerstone attribute of equipment performance and affected the cornerstone objective to limit the likelihood of those events that upset plant stability and challenge critical safety functions during shutdown. Specifically, the purpose of the nondestructive testing of RPV head strongback major load carrying welds and critical areas is to limit the likelihood of a RPV head strongback structural component failure, and hence, to ensure safe load handling of heavy loads over the reactor core or over safety-related systems.

The inspectors, with assistance from a Region III Senior Reactor Analyst (SRA), evaluated the finding using IMC 0609, Appendix M, "Significance Determination Process Using Qualitative Criteria," because existing PRA methods and tools are not well suited for this specific issue. The Region III SRA used Table 4.1 in Appendix M to evaluate the significance of this issue. There currently exists no accurate estimate of the frequency of RPV head drop events. The SRA reviewed available information documented in NUREG 0933, "Resolution of Generic Safety Issues," Issue 186. This discussed the potential risk and consequences of heavy load drops in nuclear power plants. The NUREG provided a frequency estimate of 5.6E-5 per demand for drops of very heavy loads. The estimate could be higher or lower because of varying human error rates, and because load drop events in different areas of the plants were examined. Using the value provided in the NUREG, and assuming two lifts every 18 months, the SRA estimated a frequency of a heavy load drop of 7.5E-5/yr.

Mitigating this value by some orders of magnitude would be the availability of safety-related injection systems, the fact that no rigging, or deficiencies, or failures were involved, and the fact that the licensee had performed visual inspections of the RPV head strongback in the past and had identified no concerns. Thus, this issue is best treated as a finding of very low safety significance (Green).

18 Enclosure The licensee performed a NUREG 0612 Control of Heavy Loads Fleet Oversight Performance Assessment Report in 2008. The report specifically addressed the special lifting device inspection requirements. This assessment activity provided an opportunity to identify the issue of not performing nondestructive testing on the strongbacks; however, the issue was not identified or acted upon at that time. Therefore, the finding has a cross-cutting aspect in the area of human performance as defined in IMC 0305 H.2(c), because the licensee did not provide a complete, accurate, and up-to-date procedure to plant personnel.

Enforcement:

Title 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion V, "Instructions, Procedures, and Drawings," requires, in part, that activities affecting quality be prescribed by documented instructions, procedures, or drawings, of a type appropriate to the circumstances and be accomplished in accordance with these instructions, procedures, or drawings.

Section 5.3.1, of ANSI N14.6-1978 requires "In cases where surface cleanliness and conditions permit, the load testing may be omitted, and dimensional testing, visual inspection, and nondestructive testing of major load-carrying welds and critical areas in accordance with 5.5 of this standard shall suffice." Contrary to the above, the licensee failed to have a procedure in-place to ensure the ANSI N14.6-1978 requirement to perform nondestructive testing of the RPV head strongback was performed. Specifically, this requirement was not included in PMI-0085 for the RPV head strongback. Because this violation was of very low safety significance and it was entered into the licensee's CAP as (CR 08-50414), this violation is being treated as an NCV, consistent with Section VI.A.1 of the NRC Enforcement Policy (NCV 05000440/2008005-01).

(2) Containment Polar Crane Trolley Seismic Restraints Did Not Meet Seismic Category I Requirements

Introduction:

The inspectors identified a finding of very low safety significance (Green) and associated NCV of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion III, "Design Control," in that, the design basis structural analysis for the containment polar crane trolley did not adequately evaluate the trolley seismic restraints. Specifically, the trolley seismic restraint calculation failed to ensure design stresses remained below acceptance limits. Also, the as-built configuration of the trolley seismic restraints was not in accordance with the analyzed condition. As a result, the design basis calculation was not sufficient to ensure conformance with Seismic Category I requirements for safe load handling of heavy loads over the reactor core or over safety-related systems.

Description:

As described in UFSAR Section 9.1.4.2.2.1, the containment polar crane was designed to Seismic Category I requirements. The crane consisted of two crane girders and a trolley. The circular runway (rails) which supported the crane girders was supported from the containment walls at Elevation 721'-0" and provided for 360 degree rotation of the crane girders. The trolley traveled laterally on the crane girders. The main and auxiliary hoisting equipment (125 ton and 10 ton capacity, respectively) were located on the trolley. The containment polar crane with the vessel head strongback was used to handle the 90 ton RPV head.

19 Enclosure The inspectors reviewed calculation 4549-32-134, "Reactor Building Cranes for Perry Nuclear Power Plant Units 1 and 2 Trolley Structural Calculations," which indicated that the design of the trolley seismic restraints had design stresses greater than the Seismic Category I acceptance limits. The licensee had not provided an acceptable engineering basis for this overstress condition in the calculation. As a direct result to an NRC inspector question whether the existing trolley seismic restraint overstress condition was acceptable, the licensee discovered that eight reinforcement plates (four plates on each end connection of trolley beam to crane girder) were not installed on the trolley seismic restraints in accordance with calculation 4549-32-134. The reinforcement plates were required for the trolley seismic restraints to meet Seismic Category I design requirements. These reinforcement plates were shown on Drawing No. 4549-31-559, "Trolley Seismic Restraint Design Drawing." In response to these concerns, the licensee initiated CR 08-50408 on December 3, 2008, and CR 08-50714, on December 11, 2008. The licensee initiated a revision of the design basis calculation to address the overstress condition and the licensee planned to install the missing reinforcement plates to the trolley seismic restraints prior to removing the reactor vessel head in refueling outage 12 as part of work activity initiation Number 600510529.

Analysis:

The inspectors determined that the failure to provide an engineering basis for the overstress condition, as well as the failure to install reinforcement plates on the containment polar crane trolley seismic restraints was a performance deficiency because the trolley seismic restraints were not in conformance with design basis Seismic Category I requirements. The finding was determined to be more than minor in accordance with IMC 0612, Appendix B, "Issue and Screening," Minor Question 4 because the finding was associated with the Initiating Events cornerstone attribute of equipment performance and affected the cornerstone objective to limit the likelihood of those events that upset plant stability and challenge critical safety functions during shutdown. Specifically, compliance with Seismic Category I design requirements was to ensure safe load handling of heavy loads over the reactor core or over safety-related systems. The inspector, with assistance from a Region III SRA, evaluated the finding using IMC 0609, Appendix M, "Significance Determination Process Using Qualitative Criteria," because existing PRA methods and tools are not well suited for this specific issue. The Region III SRA used Table 4.1 in Appendix M to evaluate the significance of this issue. There currently exists no accurate estimate of the frequency of RPV head drop events. The SRA reviewed available information documented in NUREG 0933, "Resolution of Generic Safety Issues," Issue 186. This discussed the potential risk and consequences of heavy load drops in nuclear power plants. The NUREG provided a frequency estimate of 5.6E-5 per demand for drops of very heavy loads. The estimate could be higher or lower because of varying human error rates, and because load drop events in different areas of the plants were examined. Using the value provided in the NUREG, and assuming two lifts every 18 months, the SRA estimated a frequency of a heavy load drop of 7.5E-5/yr.

Mitigating this value by some orders of magnitude would primarily be the low frequency of a seismic event that would have to occur during the heavy load lift. This alone drives 20 Enclosure the risk down several orders of magnitude. Thus, this issue is best treated as a finding of very low safety significance (Green).

The inspector did not identify a cross-cutting aspect associated with this finding because the concern was related to a design control issue from the 1980's and not indicative of current licensee performance.

Enforcement:

Title 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion III, "Design Control," requires, in part, that measures be established to assure that applicable regulatory requirements and the design basis are correctly translated into specifications, drawings, procedures, and instructions. Also, design control measures shall provide for verifying or checking the adequacy of design, such as by the performance of design reviews, by the use of alternate or simplified calculational methods, or by the performance of a suitable testing program.

Contrary to the above, from May 10, 1982, to December 3, 2008, the licensee design control measures failed to verify adequacy of trolley seismic restraint design in that the design basis calculation did not account for as-built conditions (eight reinforcement plates missing) and did not provide an engineering basis for the overstress condition. However, because this violation was of very low safety significance and it was entered into the licensee's CAP as (CR 08-50714 and CR 08-50408) this violation is being treated as an NCV, consistent with Section VI.A.1 of the NRC Enforcement Policy. (NCV 05000440/2008005-02)

4OA2 Identification and Resolution of Problems

Cornerstone: Initiating Events, Mitigating Systems, Barrier Integrity, and Emergency Preparedness

.1 Routine Review of Items Entered Into the CAP

a. Inspection Scope

As part of the various baseline IPs discussed in previous sections of this report, the inspectors routinely reviewed issues during baseline inspection activities and plant status reviews to verify that they were being entered into the licensee's CAP at an appropriate threshold, that adequate attention was being given to timely corrective actions, and that adverse trends were identified and addressed. Attributes reviewed included: the complete and accurate identification of the problem; that timeliness was commensurate with the safety significance; that evaluation and disposition of performance issues, generic implications, common causes, contributing factors, root causes, extent-of-condition reviews, and previous occurrence reviews were proper and adequate; and that the classification, prioritization, focus, and timeliness of corrective actions were commensurate with safety and sufficient to prevent recurrence of the issue. Minor issues entered into the licensee's CAP as a result of the inspectors' observations are included in the attached List of Documents Reviewed.

These routine reviews for the identification and resolution of problems did not constitute any additional inspection samples. Instead, by procedure they were considered an integral part of the inspections performed during the quarter and documented in Section 1 of this report.

b. Findings

No findings of significance were identified.

.2 Daily Corrective Action Program Reviews

a. Inspection Scope

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 licensee's CAP. This review was accomplished through inspection of the station's daily CR packages.

These daily reviews were performed by procedure as part of the inspectors' daily plant status monitoring activities and, as such, did not constitute any separate inspection samples.

During the inspection period, the licensee was approaching the end of a refueling cycle, and the inspectors incorporated the guidance in Operating Experience Smart Sample (OpESS) FY 2007-04, "BWR Core Power/ Flow Map - Supplemental Inspection Guidance For MC 2515D," as a focus item during the daily plant status and CAP monitoring activities.

31 Enclosure

b. Findings

No findings of significance were identified.

.3 Semi-Annual Trend Review

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors reviewed monthly performance reports, self-assessments, quality assurance assessment reports, performance improvement initiatives and CRs to identify any trends that had not been adequately evaluated or addressed by proposed corrective actions. As part of this inspection sample, the inspectors reviewed the licensee's progress in addressing an existing substantive cross-cutting issue in the area of Human Performance.

b. Findings

No findings of significance were identified.

4OA3 Followup of Events and Notices of Enforcement Discretion

.1 Loss of the V-1F and V-2F Non-vital Buses Resulting in the Loss of Technical Support Center Computers

a. Inspection Scope

On October 30, 2008, the inspectors reviewed the plant's response to the loss of TSC computers including ERDS, ICS, Special Plant Data System, and Computer-Aided Dose Assessment Program when input breakers to two 120-volt AC buses tripped due to a high room temperature signal. In addition, the Chemistry Control Computer System and Digital Control System Workstations were lost and there was a loss of redundant power to the DFWCS. Documents reviewed in this inspection are listed in the Attachment.

This event follow-up review constituted one sample as defined in IP 71153-05.

b. Findings

Introduction:

A finding of very low safety significance was self-revealed when bus V-1-F and V-2-F tripped on high temperature resulting in the loss of the Integrated Computer System (ICS) on October 30, 2008. Plant personnel failed to adequately respond to a high temperature alarm that occurred 16 hours1.851852e-4 days <br />0.00444 hours <br />2.645503e-5 weeks <br />6.088e-6 months <br /> prior to the loss of both buses.

Description:

Due to a failure of the TSC cooling unit, ambient temperatures in the TSC computer room increased. Personnel in the Secondary Alarm Station (SAS) received a high temperature alarm and informed the Unit Supervisor of the alarm. Two licensee personnel were dispatched to investigate the cause of the alarm. No evidence of fire was discovered and no further action was taken. The SAS alarm book included information that this alarm could lead to a possible loss of the TSC cooling and the imminent loss of the computer system. This information was not relayed to the control room operators.

32 Enclosure About 16 hours1.851852e-4 days <br />0.00444 hours <br />2.645503e-5 weeks <br />6.088e-6 months <br /> later, the 120-volt vital buses V-1-F and V-2-F tripped on high temperature. The loss of the two buses resulted in the loss of the ICS, ERDS, the chemistry computer, and one train of power supply to the DFWCS. Licensee personnel took actions to reduce the TCS computer room temperature and restored the computer systems later that day.

Licensee Procedure, NOP-OP-1002, "Conduct of Operations," Revision 4, Section 4.9.2 addressed the standard for responding to an unexpected alarms and stated that alarm response instructions shall be referenced after plant stability was determined. Contrary to the above, the control room Unit Supervisor was not notified that the computer alarm address book entry for the high temperature alarm could lead to possible loss of the TSC cooling and the imminent loss of the ERIS computer system, and did not verify that TSC cooling was still available. Due to the loss of ERDS, the licensee submitted an 8-hour report to the NRC for a loss of emergency offsite communications capability.

Analysis:

The inspectors determined that the failure to appropriately respond to the TSC high temperature alarm was a performance deficiency warranting significance evaluation in accordance with IMC 0612, "Power Reactor Inspection Reports," Appendix B, "Issue Disposition Screening," issued on September 20, 2007. This finding is considered more than minor because it was associated with the Facilities and Equipment attribute of the Emergency Preparedness Cornerstone and affected the objective of implementing adequate measures to protect the health and safety of the public in the event of a radiological emergency.

The inspectors performed a significance determination of this issue using IMC 0609, Appendix B, and "Emergency Preparedness Significance Determination Process,"

issued on March 6, 2003. The inspectors determined that the finding affected the Non-Risk Significant Planning Standard 10 CFR 50.47(b)(8), which stated that adequate facilities and equipment are maintained to support emergency response. The finding was determined to be of very low safety significance because the equipment was restored to a functional status in less than 7 days. The primary cause of this finding was related to the cross-cutting aspect in the area of Problem Identification and Resolution as defined in IMC 0305 P.1(a) because the organization failed to ensure that issues are identified accurately and in a timely manner commensurate with their significance.

Enforcement:

The inspectors reviewed 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B and 10 CFR 50.47 and determined that no violation of regulatory requirements had occurred because the support equipment was restored in a timely manner. The licensee entered this issue in their CAP (CRs 08-48670, 08-48676, and 08-48676). (FIN 05000440/2008005-03).

.2 (Closed) Licensee Event Report (LER) 05000440/2007-003-01:

Improper Containment Floor Grating Installation Results in an Unanalyzed Condition, Supplement

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors reviewed the supplement to LER 2007-003-01 for completeness and regulatory issues related to the improper containment floor grating installation.

Documents reviewed as part of this inspection are listed in the attachment.

33 Enclosure

b. Findings

Introduction:

The inspectors identified an NCV of 10 CFR 50.73 for the licensee's failure to report all reportable events associated with the discovery of missing containment grating fasteners.

Description:

The licensee discovered on August 27, 2007, that a 3' x 7' section of grating located in the reactor containment building was missing required hold-down fasteners. The licensee determined that this condition existed since July 2007 and existed during the replacement of the reactor recirculation pump 'A' motor.

The licensee determined that the loose grating could impact the suppression pool intake screen and therefore the high pressure core spray (HPCS) and low pressure core injection (LPCI) 'B' and 'C' systems were inoperable during this period. The licensee submitted the initial LER 2007-003 describing plant operations prohibited by TS and loss of the HPCS safety function.

The inspectors conducted a subsequent review of the event when questions arose during the inspectors' review of safety system unavailability records. During this review, the inspectors identified that, for approximately seven hours on August 6, 2007, all three LPCI systems were inoperable because LPCI 'A' was in suppression pool cooling mode and this constituted a loss of the LPCI safety function, operation in an unanalyzed condition, and operations prohibited by TS. These event conditions were not reported in the original 2007-003 LER.

In response to the issues identified during the inspectors' review, the licensee conducted an additional review and identified that an additional period existed from August 7 to August 9, 2007, where the Division 1 EDG was inoperable due to an overspeed trip encountered during a planned surveillance. With the Division 1 EDG inoperable for greater than four hours, TS required LPCI 'A' to be declared inoperable. This also constituted a loss of LPCI safety function, plant operations in an unanalyzed condition, and operations prohibited by TS.

The licensee entered the issue into their corrective action program and submitted an LER supplement.

Analysis:

The inspectors determined that the failure to report all reportable conditions associated with the August 27, 2007, event to the NRC was a performance deficiency warranting a significance evaluation in accordance with IMC 0612, "Power Reactor Inspection Reports," Appendix B, AIssue Disposition Screening,@ issued on September 20, 2007. The inspectors determined that the issue had the potential for impacting the NRC's ability to perform its regulatory function and used the traditional enforcement process to assess the performance deficiency.

The primary cause of this NCV was related to the cross-cutting area of problem identification and resolution as defined in IMC 0305 P.1(c) because the licensee failed to thoroughly evaluate problems for reportability conditions.

Enforcement:

In accordance with 10 CFR 50.73(a)(1), "Licensee Event Reports," the licensee was required to submit an LER within 60 days after the discovery of a condition requiring a report. Contrary to these requirements, on October 25, 2007, the licensee 34 Enclosure failed to report conditions of LPCI loss of safety function, operations prohibited by TS, and operations in an unanalyzed condition, that were associated with the discovery of improperly installed reactor containment grating on August 26, 2007. Because this violation was of very low safety significance, was not repetitive or willful, and was entered into the licensee's CAP (CR 08-46139), this violation is being treated as a Severity Level IV NCV, consistent with Section VI.A.1 of the NRC Enforcement Policy (NCV 05000440/2008005-04).

This LER is closed.

This event follow-up review constituted one sample as defined in IP 71153-05.

.3 Loss of Vehicle Control in Switchyard

a. Inspection Scope

On October 17, 2008, while conducting activities in the switchyard, a vehicle operator lost control of his vehicle and impacted a light pole. The inspectors reviewed the circumstances of the event and reviewed licensee risk control measures in effect at the time of the event. The inspectors walked down the switchyard to identify the vehicle travel paths and to determine the distances to risk-significant structures that could be potentially affected by a loss of vehicle control. The inspectors determined whether the licensee risk management actions in effect at the time of the event were adequate to account for the loss of vehicle control. Documents reviewed in this inspection are listed in the Attachment.

This event follow-up review constituted one sample as defined in IP 71153-05.

b. Findings

No findings of significance were identified.

.2 Quarterly Resident Inspector Observations of Security Personnel and Activities

a. Inspection Scope

During the inspection period, the inspectors conducted the observations of security force personnel and activities to ensure that the activities were consistent with licensee security procedures and regulatory requirements relating to nuclear plant security. These observations took place during both normal and off-normal plant working hours.

35 Enclosure These quarterly resident inspectors' observations of security force personnel and activities did not constitute any additional inspection samples. Rather, they were considered an integral part of the inspectors' normal plant status reviews and inspection activities.

b. Findings

No findings of significance were identified.

.3 (Closed) NRC Temporary Instruction (TI) 2515/176, "Emergency Diesel Generator TS Surveillance Requirements Regarding Endurance and Margin Testing."

a. Inspection Scope

The objective of TI 2515/176 was to gather information to assess the adequacy of nuclear power plant emergency diesel generator endurance and margin testing as prescribed in plant-specific TS. The inspectors reviewed the licensee's TS, procedures, and calculations and interviewed licensee personnel to complete the TI. The information gathered for this TI was forwarded to the Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation for further review and evaluation on December 17, 2008. This TI is complete at Perry Nuclear Power Plant; however, this TI 2515/176 will not expire until August 31, 2009. Additional information may be required after review by the Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation.

b. Findings

No findings of significance were identified.

.4 (Closed) NRC TI 2515/174, "Hydrogen Igniter Backup Power Verification

a. Inspection Scope

The objective of TI 2515/174 was to verify that licensees have adequately implemented commitments related to provision of backup power to containment hydrogen igniters.

The inspectors reviewed the licensee's implementation of a portable generator, temporary connections, procedures, and training related to the commitment. The inspectors performed a field walkdown of the backup power equipment to determine whether all necessary equipment was available. The inspectors observed licensee personnel perform an operational test of the power generation equipment and a field walk through of the procedures for backup power implementation. The inspectors reviewed training records and interviewed licensee personnel to determine whether training had been adequately implemented. The inspectors reviewed the licensee's maintenance and testing schedules for the backup power equipment.

b. Findings

No findings of significance were identified.

4OA6 Meetings

.1 Exit Meeting

The inspectors presented the inspection results to the Site Vice President, Mr. Mark Bezilla, and other members of licensee management on January 15, 2009. The inspectors asked the licensee whether any materials examined during the inspection should be considered proprietary. No proprietary information was identified with the exception of the material associated with Crane and Heavy Lift inspection described below.

.2 Interim Exit Meetings

• The preliminary results of the licensee's program for access control to radiologically significant areas and the ALARA planning and controls program for occupational radiation safety with the Plant General Manager, Mr. K. Kruger, on October 24, 2008;

• A telephone exit for TI 2515/176 was conducted with Bob Coad, Regulatory Compliance Manager, and other Licensee staff on November 24, 2008;

• The licensed operator requalification training biennial written examination and annual operating test results with Mr. A. Mueller, Training Manager, on December 5, 2008;

• On December 19, 2008, the inspector presented the Crane and Heavy Lift inspection results to Mr. M. Bezilla, and other members of the licensee staff. The licensee acknowledged the issues presented. The inspectors confirmed that licensee design calculations generated by contractors were considered proprietary. It was agreed that all paper copies of these proprietary documents would be shredded, and all electronic files of these proprietary documents would be deleted;

and

• The annual review of emergency action level and emergency plan changes with the licensee's Compliance Supervisor, Mr. C. Elberfeld, via telephone on December 31, 2008.

4OA7 Licensee-Identified Violations

The following violations of very low safety significance (Green) were identified by the licensee and are violations of NRC requirements, which meets the criteria of Section VI of the NRC Enforcement Policy, NUREG-1600, for being dispositioned as NCVs. Cornerstone: Mitigating Systems Title 10 CFR 50.74 requires, in part, that each licensee notify the appropriate Regional Administrator as listed in Appendix D to 10 CFR Part 20 within 30 days of the termination of any operator or senior operator. Contrary to this, the licensee identified in November 2008 that the licensee had not notified the NRC when a licensed operator voluntarily terminated his employment with the Perry Nuclear Power Plant in June 2008.

The licensee did not notify the NRC that the operator had terminated employment for 37 Enclosure approximately 150 days. Upon discovery, the licensee immediately notified the NRC of the operator's termination of employment. The licensee then entered this issue in its CAP as CR 08-49100, "Failure to Notify NRC to Revoke an Individual's NRC License." The station implemented procedure changes to prevent recurrence of this issue. After notification, the NRC immediately expired the operator's license. This finding is of very low safety significance because the operator's site access was removed and he was not able to manipulate the plant's reactivity or system controls after employment termination.

Cornerstone:

Occupational Radiation Safety Section 20.1902(a) to Title 10 of the CFR requires, in part, that the licensee post each radiation area with a conspicuous sign or signs bearing the radiation symbol and the words "Caution, Radiation Area." Contrary to the above, on January 15, 2008, a radiation area in the waste abatement and reclamation facility was not posted. The source of the radiation was a B12 box containing a scrap reactor water clean-up pump with dose rates of 80 millirem per hour at 30 centimeters. The violation was identified by licensee personnel and was documented in the licensee's corrective action program as CR 08-33510. Immediate corrective actions were to properly post and control the area. The finding was determined to be of very low safety significance because it was not an ALARA planning issue, there was no overexposure, nor potential for overexposure, and the licensee's ability to assess dose was not compromised.
