Dear David Rhoades:
On September 30, 2023, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed an inspection at Dresden Nuclear Power Station, Units 2 and 3. On October 18, 2023, the NRC inspectors discussed the results of this inspection with P. Boyle, Site Vice President, and other members of your staff. The results of this inspection are documented in the enclosed report.
Two findings of very low safety significance (Green) are documented in this report. Two of these findings involved violations of NRC requirements. We are treating these violations as non-cited violations (NCVs) consistent with Section 2.3.2 of the Enforcement Policy.
A licensee-identified violation which was determined to be of very low safety significance is documented in this report. We are treating this violation as a non-cited violation (NCV)
consistent with Section 2.3.2 of the Enforcement Policy.
If you contest the violations or the significance or severity of the violations documented in this inspection 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, Region III; the Director, Office of Enforcement; and the NRC Resident Inspector at Dresden Nuclear Power Station, Units 2 and 3.
If you disagree with a cross-cutting aspect assignment 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 U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, ATTN: Document Control Desk, Washington, DC 20555-0001; with copies to the Regional Administrator, Region III; and the NRC Resident Inspector at Dresden Nuclear Power Station, Units 2 and 3.November 13, 2023 This letter, its enclosure, and your response (if any) will be made available for public inspection and copying at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html and at the NRC Public Document Room in accordance with Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations 2.390, Public Inspections, Exemptions, Requests for Withholding.

INSPECTION RESULTS
Licensee-Identified Non-Cited Violation 71111.15 This violation of very low safety significance was identified by the licensee and has been entered into the licensee corrective action program and is being treated as a non-cited violation, consistent with Section 2.3.2 of the Enforcement Policy.
Enforcement:
Violation: Dresden Nuclear Power Station, Unit 2, Renewed Facility Operating License, section 2.E requires that the licensee implement and maintain in effect all provisions of the approved fire protection program. The approved fire protection plan requires compensatory measures are established when fire protection SSCs are impaired. Procedure CCAA211, Fire Protection Program, Revision 9, details the fire protection and prevention administrative control procedures are established to govern the handling and use of transient combustible materials, maintain housekeeping to minimize fire hazards, control cutting and welding operations by use of a permit system, control the use of temporary heating sources, control the impairment of fire protection SSCs, and post fire watches. Procedure OPAA201007, Fire Protection System Impairment Control, Revision 2, provides instructions for establishing and performing compensatory measure fire watch inspections. Last, procedure OPAA108101, Control of Equipment and System Status, Revision 18, addresses the identification of temporary equipment conditions and status via the Abnormal Component Position Sheets (ACPS) and Equipment Status Tags.
Contrary to the above, on August 4, 2023, the licensee failed to implement provisions of the approved fire protection program. Specifically, the site terminated the continuous fire watch previously established when valve 24415-500, Fire Protect H2 Seal Unit Deluge System SV, was taken to the closed position. The fire watch was terminated without restoring the valve to the open position. This is contrary to the guidance and requirements established in the procedures requiring a continuous fire watch until the valve was restored to its normal position, open.
Significance/Severity: Green. Specifically, the inspectors determined that this finding screened to Green because the degraded or non-functional detection or fixed suppression system did not adversely affect the ability of the system to protect any equipment important to safe shutdown.

Failure to Perform Performance Response Check for Instrumentation Cornerstone Significance Cross-Cutting Report Aspect Section Occupational Green [H.11] - 71124.08 Radiation Safety NCV 05000237,05000249/202300301 Challenge the Open/Closed Unknown The inspectors identified a finding of very low safety significance (Green), and an associated non-cited violation of Technical Specification 5.4.1, Procedures, for the licensees failure to implement procedures for control of radioactivity. Specifically, the licensee did not conduct a performance source check on a frisker used to perform critical surveys of personnel for release from the radiologically controlled area to unrestricted areas as required by procedure RPAA700, Controls for Radiation Protection Instrumentation.
Description:
Licensee procedure RPAA700, Controls for Radiation Protection Instrumentation establishes the administrative controls for radiation protection instrumentation maintained for use at the Dresden Station. Step 4.9.5 describes the source response checks for portable survey instruments and stationary GM friskers and states Except as noted below, short-term issued portable survey meters and stationary GM friskers shall be performance checked daily or prior to use, whichever is less frequent. Step 4.9.5.6 (a defined exception to the daily frequency) states, Portable survey instruments and stationary GM friskers may be performance source checked weekly in accordance with this section, provided they are not used for critical surveys. Procedure RPAA700, Controls for Radiation Protection Instrumentation Step 2.9 defines a critical survey as Surveys of personnel or materials for release for unrestricted use
On July 3, 2023, the personnel contamination monitor at the radwaste control room was removed from service. This monitor surveyed personnel leaving the radiologically controlled area (RCA) into the unrestricted area. Removing the personnel contamination monitor from service required personnel to use a stationary hand-held frisker to perform the critical radiological surveys necessary to leave the RCA. Consequently, the performance source check frequency should have changed from weekly to daily for this stationary frisker when it was used for these critical surveys.
On July 17, 2023, the frisker successfully passed the performance source check.
On July 19, 2023, the inspectors identified that frisker appeared non-responsive to background radiation with only an occasional click, with long intervals of silence. It was explained that the area was low background. However, when radiation protection personnel conducted a performance source check the asfound condition of the instrument was not within acceptance criteria for the response check.
Corrective Actions: The licensee changed the performance source check frequency for this frisker, and other friskers located at RCA exit points, to a daily frequency. Additionally, the licensee performed radiological survey 2023197910 of the area likely impacted (radwaste control room) by this performance deficiency and demonstrated radioactive contamination was not identified in the unrestricted area.
Corrective Action References: AR 04691430
Performance Assessment:
Performance Deficiency: The licensee did not conduct a performance source check a frisker used to perform critical surveys of personnel for release from the radiologically controlled area to unrestricted areas as required by procedure RPAA700, Controls for Radiation Protection Instrumentation.
Screening: The inspectors determined the performance deficiency was more than minor because it could reasonably be viewed as a precursor to a significant event. The performance deficiency had the potential to lead to a more significant radiation safety concern because of an ineffective radiation program barrier. Specifically, when response checked, the asfound condition of the instrument was not within acceptance criteria for the response check.
This is Example 6.b from Inspection Manual Chapter 0612 Appendix E Examples of Minor Issues.
Significance: The inspectors assessed the significance of the finding using IMC 0609 Appendix C, Occupational Radiation Safety SDP. The finding was determined to be of very low safety significance (Green) in accordance with Inspection Manual Chapter 0609, Appendix C, Occupational Radiation Safety Significance Determination Process, dated August 19, 2008, because:
- (1) it did not involve aslow-asreasonably-achievable (ALARA)planning or work controls,
- (2) there was no overexposure,
- (3) there was no substantial potential for an overexposure, and
- (4) the ability to assess dose was not compromised.
Cross-Cutting Aspect: H.11 - Challenge the Unknown: Individuals stop when faced with uncertain conditions. Risks are evaluated and managed before proceeding. Specifically, when radiation protection removed the personnel contamination monitor from service the risk from potentially inadequate surveys from the inferior replacement equipment was not recognized, evaluated, or managed.
Enforcement:
Violation: Technical Specification 5.4.1, Procedures, states in part, written procedures shall be established, implemented and maintained covering activities contained in Regulatory Guide 1.33, Revision 2, Appendix-A, dated February 1978.
NRC Regulatory Guide 1.33, Appendix A, Section 7 addresses Procedures for Control of Radioactivity, and Section e. Radiation Protection Procedures,
- (4) addresses Contamination Control.
Licensee procedure RPAA700 Controls for Radiation Protection Instrumentation, Revision 09, provides requirements for instrumentation used to survey potentially contaminated personnel and materials before being released to unrestricted areas (a critical survey). Step 4.9.5 requires stationary GM friskers used for critical surveys shall be performance source checked daily.
Contrary to the above, between July 3 and July 19, 2023, the licensee failed to implement step 4.9.5 of procedure RP-AA-700. Specifically, the licensee failed to conduct daily performance source checks as required for a frisker used for critical surveys as required by the procedure.
Enforcement Action: This violation is being treated as a non-cited violation, consistent with Section 2.3.2 of the Enforcement Policy.
Enforcement Enforcement Action EA23087: 71124.08 Discretion Failure to Comply with 10 CFR Part 37
Description:
On April 27, 2016, the licensee was issued NRC Inspection Report Nos. 05000237/2016405 and 05000249/2016405, which documented a licensee-identified violation of 10 CFR Part 37, Physical Protection of Category 1 and Category 2, Quantities of Radioactive Material at Facilities with a 10 CFR Part 73, Physical Protection Program. The violation met the criteria for enforcement discretion as described in Enforcement Guidance Memorandum (EGM)14001, Interim Guidance for Dispositioning 10 CFR Part 37 Violations with Respect to Large Components or Robust Structures Containing Category 1 or Category 2 Quantities of Material at Power Reactor Facilities Licensed Under 10 CFR Parts 50 and 52.
Subsequently, the inspectors reevaluated this activity and found that while a violation of regulatory requirements continues to exist, the conditions remain within the criteria for enforcement discretion established within EGM 14001.
Corrective Actions: As specified in EGM 14001, the application of discretion is authorized until the underlying technical issue is dispositioned through rulemaking or other regulatory action.
Enforcement:
Violation: On April 27, 2016, a violation of 10 CFR Part 37 was documented in Dresden Inspection Report Nos. 05000237/2016405 and 05000249/2016405. The inspectors determined that the previously identified violation remains.
Basis for Discretion: This violation met the criteria for enforcement discretion as described in Enforcement Guidance Memorandum (EGM) 14001, Interim Guidance for Dispositioning 10 CFR Part 37 Violations with Respect to Large Components or Robust Structures Containing Category 1 or Category 2 Quantities of Material at Power Reactor Facilities Licensed Under 10 CFR Parts 50 and 52.
Failure to Install Safety-Related Circuit Breakers in the Unit 2 Alternate Battery, a Safety-Related System Cornerstone Significance Cross-Cutting Report Aspect Section Mitigating Green None (NPP) 71152A Systems NCV 05000237,05000249/202300302 Open/Closed A self-revealed finding of very low safety significance (Green) and associated non-cited violation (NCV) of 10 CFR 50 Appendix B, Criterion III, occurred on July 6, 2023, when it was identified that non-quality controlled, non-dedicated circuit breakers were installed in the Unit 2 125VDC alternate battery, a safety-related system.
Description:
Around 1978, the 125V DC distribution panel number 5 and two GE model AK circuit breakers were originally installed in the Unit 1 HPCI building for the U1 HPCI 125V DC battery and charger. The original design for the components was U1 Division I Engineered Safety Feature, meaning the components were classified as safety-related (SR). Controlled drawings, on the record, identified nuclear safety-related equipment is shown on this drawing, which implied that SR quality equipment was procured and installed around this timeframe.
In the 1990s, a modification, SR modification M120-90013A 125 vdc Alternate Battery Installation, was approved for the installation of a new U2 safety-related 125V DC alternate battery. This installation was to be in the U1 HPCI building, as well as SR cable connections from distribution panel number 5 to the U2 Turbine Building SR 125V DC Bus 2A1. The modification repurposed the two SR GE model AK circuit breakers that were previously installed for the U1 HPCI 125V DC battery and charger to be used now for the new U2 alternate battery and charger. In 1991, a letter was issued from the NRC to Dresden Nuclear Station to follow up on discussions regarding the 125V DC alternate batteries. The letter included a description of the 125 VDC System design, an overview of the alternate 125 VDC battery design and installation, an overview of the Technical Specification changes to be proposed, and a schedule for submittal of these amendments, and the controls which will be imposed on any alternate battery usage prior to receipt of the amended Technical Specifications. The letter discussed the ability of the alternate battery to be put into service when the main battery is unavailable. Classification was established and controlled in plant documentation.
In 2003, the originally installed AK25 circuit breaker, Equipment Part Number (EPN)283125-5AC2, failed to close and a vendor overhaul was performed. The installed circuit breakers did not have a catalog identification number associated with them. The site planned to procure a new circuit breaker to install while the failed circuit breaker was being overhauled. A Quality Level 4 (QL4), or non-safety-related, catalog identification number was created. The work order created to install a new circuit breaker classified the work as non-safety related (NSR), and a NSR breaker was installed on March 26, 2004. This was a missed opportunity, as the correct quality level for the component should have been QL1, safety related.
In 2006, the site underwent a 16-year breaker overhaul for the original SR AK50 circuit breaker, EPN 283125-5AC1. In the work order for this overhaul, the circuit breaker was incorrectly noted to be a non-safety-related, augmented quality component, or QL3. This was another missed opportunity for the site to identify the circuit breakers were supposed to be safety related, QL1 components.
In 2011, an engineering change request (ECR) was done to add a safety classification to the U2 125V DC alternate battery circuit breakers in the Passport computer system due to the information being blank. The ECR noted the components were classified as safety-related, seismic class 1E components. In 2012, the ECR was completed with the safety classification information being filled in, but no reviews were conducted to look at work performed while the information in Passport was incomplete. This resulted in the site not being aware of the non-safety-related circuit breakers being installed.
In 2023, the site was preparing for the 16-year preventative maintenance on the Unit 2 125V DC alternate battery circuit breakers; it was discovered that the currently installed circuit breakers were non-safety-related components. A condition report was written, and the site performed a corrective action program evaluation (CAPE) to determine the cause of non-safety-related components being installed and maintained for a safety-related function.
The inspectors reviewed the condition report, CAPE, relevant associated documentation, and held discussions with the licensee staff to better understand the time frame and history of the circuit breakers and the U2 125V DC alternate battery. The inspectors questioned if the ECR in 20112013 would have involved reviewing the currently installed components at that time to see if they matched the missing safety classification. The site stated that nothing specific would have prompted that review in the engineering change request process. The licensee informed the inspectors they would be procuring QL1 circuit breakers to install during the planned 16-year preventative maintenance scheduled for September 2023.
Corrective Actions: Corrective actions included, but were not limited to, the site conducting a CAPE and replacement of the non-safety-related circuit breakers with safety-related circuit breakers on September 15, 2023.
Corrective Action References: CR 4688989, U2 125VDC Alt Battery Feed Circuit Breakers, SR Components Required
Performance Assessment:
Performance Deficiency: The inspectors determined the licensees failure to ensure safety-related circuit breakers were installed in the Unit 2 alternate battery, a safety-related system in accordance with 10 CFR 50 Appendix B, Criterion III, was a performance deficiency.
Screening: The inspectors determined the performance deficiency was more than minor because it was associated with the Design Control attribute of the Mitigating Systems cornerstone and adversely affected the cornerstone objective to ensure the availability, reliability, and capability of systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences. This determination was informed by IMC 0612, Appendix E, example 5.c, due to non-safety-related components, circuit breakers, being installed in the plant and the safety-related system, Unit 2 125 VDC alternate battery, returned to service.
Significance: The inspectors assessed the significance of the finding using IMC 0609 Appendix A, The Significance Determination Process (SDP) for Findings At-Power. The inspectors answered yes to question A1 in Exhibit 2 - Mitigating Systems Screening Question. This resulted in the issue screening to green.
Cross-Cutting Aspect: Not Present Performance. No cross-cutting aspect was assigned to this finding because the inspectors determined the finding did not reflect present licensee performance.
Enforcement:
Violation: 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion III, Design Control, requires, in part, measures be established for the selection and review for suitability of application of materials, parts, equipment, and processes that are essential to the safety-related functions of the structures, systems and components.
Contrary to the above, from March 26, 2004, to July 6, 2023, the licensee failed to review for suitability of application of parts essential to the safety-related functions of the Unit 2 alternate battery. Specifically, the licensee found non-safety-related circuit breakers were installed when safety-related components were required to be installed in the Unit 2 alternate battery.
Enforcement Action: This violation is being treated as a non-cited violation, consistent with Section 2.3.2 of the Enforcement Policy.
