The inspectors identified a Green non-cited violation of 10 CFR 50.54(q)(2) which requires that a holder of a nuclear power plant operating license follow and maintain the effectiveness of an emergency plan that meets the requirements in Appendix E of this part and the risk significant planning standards of 10 CFR 50.47(b). Specifically, from March 7, 2017, to July 12, 2017, Wolf Creek Generating Station's response to the inoperability of containment high radiation monitors failed to restore capability to classify emergency action levels during a loss-of-coolant accident or main-steam-line-break accident. In response to this issue, the licensee provided additional radiation survey monitoring measures and correlations to monitor radiation in the containment building. This finding was entered into the licensee's corrective action program as Condition Report CR-114274. The inspectors determined that the failure to maintain the effectiveness of the emergency action level schemes by providing adequate preplanned methods and compensatory measures for the loss of the containment high range radiation monitors in accordance with 50.54 (q)(2) was a performance deficiency. This finding was determined to be more than minor because it was associated with emergency response organization performance attribute of the Emergency Preparedness cornerstone and adversely affected the cornerstone objective. Specifically, the failure to maintain the effectiveness using appropriate compensatory measures adversely 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.

Specifically, the failure to maintain the effectiveness using appropriate compensatory measures adversely 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 ver y low safety significance (Green) because (1) emergency action level schemes were rendered ineffective such that any Site Area Emergency would not be declared for a particular off-normal event, but because of other emergency action levels, an appropriate declaration could be made in a degraded manner; and, (2) the emergency action level classification process would result in an over-classification causing an unnecessary emergency declaration. | |||
This finding had a cross-cutting aspect in the area of human performance associated with conservative bias because the licensee failed use decision making-practices that emphasized prudent choices over those that are simply allowable. | |||

The inspectors identified an Green non-cited violation of 10 CFR 50.54(q)(2) associated with risk significant planning standard 10 CFR 50.47(b)(4) for the failure to maintain the effectiveness of the Wolf Creek Generating Station Emergency Plan. Specifically, from March 7, 2017, to July 12, 2017, Wolf Creek Generating Station's response to the inoperability of containment high radiation monitors failed to restore the capability to classify emergency action levels during a loss-of-coolant accident or main-steam-line-break accident. | The inspectors identified an Green non | ||

On March 7, 2017, the licensee determined that the containment high range radiation monitors, GTRE0059 and GTRE0060, were susceptible to thermal induced current and moisture intrusion into their respective coaxial cable jackets and Amphenol (N) connectors during a design bases loss-of-coolant accident or main-steam-line-break accident. Based on industry operating experience, the licensee determined that the elevated temperature and humidity conditions can impact the indication accuracy and functions. Because no evaluation was available to justify the acceptability of the coaxial cables, the licensee determined that the containment high range radiation monitors were inoperable, but remained functional. The licensee entered Condition F of Technical Specification 3.3.3, "Post Accident Monitoring (PAM) Instrumentation." On March 27, 2017, the licensee submitted a Post Accident Monitoring (PAM) Report, in accordance with Technical Specification 5.6.8, which described the preplanned methods and additional compensatory measures to provide radiation monitoring in containment for use in emergency classification and assessment. These compensatory measures included placing portable survey equipment outside the containment personnel hatch. The portable survey equipment's use was directed through an operator essential reading. The measures also involved changing procedure AP 06-004, "Equipment Important to Emergency Response," to allow the use of reactor core exit thermocouple temperatures for monitoring containment radiation. Procedure AP 06-004 also allowed the use of multiple permanently installed auxiliary building radiation monitors to deduce the relative radiation conditions in containment if the containment high range radiation monitors were not available. | On March 7, 2017, the licensee determined that the containment high range radiation monitors, GTRE0059 and GTRE0060, were susceptible to thermal induced current and moisture intrusion into their respective coaxial cable jackets and Amphenol (N) connectors during a design bases loss | ||

6 The inspectors reviewed the preplanned methods and compensatory measures for the inoperable containment high range radiation monitors, GTRE0059 and GTRE0060, to determine compliance with the regulations of 10 CFR 50.54(q)(2). The inspectors determined that the preplanned methods and compensatory measures would not provide appropriate information to deduce the actual radiation conditions in containment for event classification associated with 250 R/hr and 2500 R/hr emergency action level criteria. Specifically, the inspectors determined that the selection of the core exit thermocouples acceptance criteria used for radiation monitoring did not represent a direct or indirect correlation between containment radiation and core exit temperatures during a core degradation event. Additionally, the inspectors determined that no radiation shielding transmission correlations were provided or developed for monitoring containment radiation using auxiliary building radiation monitors, as allowed by AP 06-004. The inspectors determined that the selection of the transmission correlation for the containment hatch portable survey equipment did not appropriately take into account different factors such as radiation source, isotopes, and uncertainties to provide an accurate estimation of radiation inside containment. Therefore, the compensatory measures would not be capable of providing a valid reading for emergency action level criteria for containment radiation in EAL-2, "Steam Generator Tube Failure," | 6 The inspectors reviewed the preplanned methods and compensatory measures for the inoperable containment high range radiation monitors, GTRE0059 and GTRE0060, to determine compliance with the regulations of 10 CFR 50.54(q)(2).

=====Analysis.===== | =====Analysis.===== | ||
The inspectors determined that the failure to maintain the effectiveness of the emergency action level schemes by providing adequate preplanned methods and compensatory measures for the loss of the containment high range radiation monitors in accordance with 50.54 (q)(2) was a performance deficiency. This finding was determined to be more than minor because it was associated with emergency response organization performance attribute of the Emergency Preparedness cornerstone and adversely affected the cornerstone objective.

Specifically, the failure to maintain the effectiveness using appropriate compensatory measures adversely affected the objective of ensuring the licensee is capable of implementing adequate measure s to protect the health and safety of the public in the event of a radiological emergency. | ||
The finding was evaluated in accordance with Inspection Manual Chapter 0609, Appendix B, "Emergency Preparedness Significance Determination Process," dated September 22, 2015, because the finding was a failure to comply with risk significant planning standard 10 CFR 50.47(b)(4), "Emergency Classification System." The finding was compared to the examples in Section 5.4 of Inspection Manual Chapter 0609, Appendix B. With the reduced effectiveness of emergency action level classification schemes, the inspectors considered mitigating factors, such as alternative emergency action level criteria within loss | |||
-of-coolant accident or main | |||
-steam-line-break accident schemes and the time in which the containment radiation monitors would be affected by thermal induced currents. The inspectors determined that an appropriate General Emergency classification would have occurred based on 2500 R/hr radiation in containment because the monitors would not be affected by the thermal induced current later in the events. However, containment radiation monitors were susceptible to erratic readings early in the event s which could result in over | |||
-classification of the event causing unnecessary emergency declaration. The erratic readings could cause a declaration of a Site Area Emergency, Alert, or Notification of Unusual Event (NOUE) early in the event to be degraded or delayed using the alternative emergency action level classification | |||
7 criteria. The finding was determined to be of very low safety significance (Green) because (1) emergency action level schemes were rendered ineffective such that any Site Area Emergency would not be declared for a particular off | |||
-normal event, but because of other emergency action levels, an appropriate declaration could be made in a degraded manner; and, (2) the emergency action level classification process would result in an over | |||
-classification causing an unnecessary emergency declaration. | |||
This finding had a cross | |||
-cutting aspect in the area of human performance associated with conservative bias because the licensee failed to use decision making | |||
-practices that emphasized prudent choices over those that are simply allowable. Specifically, the engineering staff incorrectly rationalized an assumption that a direct correlation existed between two symptoms of core degradation, core exit thermocouple and containment radiation | |||
, which formed the basis the emergency plan maintain its effectiveness. [H.14] | |||
=====Enforcement.===== | =====Enforcement.===== | ||
The inspectors identified a Green non-cited violation of 10 CFR 50.54(q)(2) which requires that a holder of a nuclear power plant operating license follow and maintain the effectiveness of an emergency plan that meets the requirements in Appendix E of this part and the risk significant planning standards of 10 CFR 50.47(b). Title 10 CFR 50.47(b)(4) requires that a standard emergency classification and action level scheme, the bases of which include facility system and effluent parameters, is in use by the nuclear facility licensee, and State and local response plans call for reliance on information provided by facility licensees for determinations of minimum initial offsite response measures. Contrary to the above, the licensee failed to maintain the effectiveness of an emergency plan that meets the requirements of the risk significant planning standard of 10 CFR 50.47(b)(4). Specifically, from March 7, 2017, to July 12, 2017, Wolf Creek Generating Station's response to the inoperability of containment high radiation monitors failed to restore capability to classify emergency action levels during a loss-of-coolant accident or main-steam-line-break accident. In response to this issue, the licensee provided additional radiation survey monitoring measures and correlations to monitor radiation in the containment building. This finding was entered into the licensee's corrective action program as Condition Report CR-114274.

SUMMARY
IR 05000482/2017007; 05/08/2017

- IP 71111.21N, Design Bases Assurance (Programs)
The inspection activities described in this report were performed between May 8, 2017, and July 12, 2017, by three inspectors from the NRC's Region IV office. One finding of very low safety significance (Green)is documented in this report. This finding involved a violation of NRC requirements. Additionally, a licensee-identified violation of very low safety significance (Green) is documented in this report. The significance of inspection findings is indicated by their color (Green, White, Yellow, or Red), which is determined using Inspection Manual Chapter 0609, "Significance Determination Process." Their cross-cutting aspects are determined using Inspection Manual Chapter 0310, "Aspects Within the Cross-Cutting Areas." Policy. The NRC's program for overseeing the safe operation of commercial nuclear power reactors is described in NUREG
-1649, "Reactor Oversight Process."
Cornerstone: Emergency Preparedness
- Green.
The inspectors identified a Green non-cited violation of 10 CFR 50.54(q)(2) which requires that a holder of a nuclear power plant operating license follow and maintain the effectiveness of an emergency plan that meets the requirements in Appendix E of this part and the risk significant planning standards of 10 CFR 50.47(b). Specifically, from March 7, 2017, to July 12, 2017, Wolf Creek Generating Station's response to the inoperability of containment high radiation monitors failed to restore capability to classify emergency action levels during a loss-of-coolant accident or main-steam-line-break accident. In response to this issue, the licensee provided additional radiation survey monitoring measures and correlations to monitor radiation in the containment building. This finding was entered into the licensee's corrective action program as Condition Report CR-114274.
The inspectors determined that the failure to maintain the effectiveness of the emergency action level schemes by providing adequate preplanned methods and compensatory measures for the loss of the containment high range radiation monitors in accordance with 50.54 (q)(2) was a performance deficiency. This finding was determined to be more than minor because it was associated with emergency response organization performance attribute of the Emergency Preparedness cornerstone and adversely affected the cornerstone objective. Specifically, the failure to maintain the effectiveness using appropriate compensatory measures adversely 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 ver y low safety significance (Green) because (1) emergency action level schemes were rendered ineffective such that any Site Area Emergency would not be declared for a particular off-normal event, but because of other emergency action levels, an appropriate declaration could be made in a degraded manner; and, (2) the emergency action level classification process would result in an over-classification causing an unnecessary emergency declaration.
This finding had a cross-cutting aspect in the area of human performance associated with conservative bias because the licensee failed use decision making-practices that emphasized prudent choices over those that are simply allowable.

a. Inspection Scope
The inspection team performed an inspection as outlined in NRC Inspection Procedure (IP) 71111.21N, Attachment 1, "Environmental Qualification under 10 CFR 50.49 Programs, Processes, and Procedures." The team assessed Wolf Creek Generating Station's implementation of the environmental qualification program as required by 10 CFR 50.49, "Environmental qualification of electric equipment important to safety for nuclear power plants.
" The team evaluated whether Wolf Creek Generating Station staff properly maintained the environmental qualification of electrical equipment important to safety throughout plant life, established and maintained required environmental qualification documentation records, and implemented an effective corrective action program to identify and correct environmental qualification related deficiencies.
The inspection included review of environmental qualification program procedures, component environmental qualification files, environmental qualification test records, equipment maintenance and operating history, maintenance and operating procedures, vendor documents, design documents, and calculations. The team interviewed program owners, engineers, maintenance staff, and warehouse staff. The team performed in-plant walkdowns (where accessible) to verify equipment was installed as described in Wolf Creek Generating Station's environmental qualification component documentation files; and to verify that the components were installed in their tested configuration. Additionally, the team performed in
-plant walkdowns to determine whether equipment surrounding the components could fail in a manner that could prevent the safety functions of the components, and to verify that components located in areas susceptible to a high energy line break were properly evaluated for operation in a harsh environment. The team reviewed and inspected the storage of replacement parts and associated procurement records to verify environmental qualification parts approved for installation in the plant were properly identified and controlled, and that storage and environmental conditions did not adversely affect the components' qualified lives.
Documents reviewed for this inspection are listed in the Attachment.
The inspection procedure requires the team to select 6 to 10 components to assess the adequacy of the environmental qualification program. The team selected 10 components for this inspection.

-steam-line-break accident.

On March 7, 2017, the licensee determined that the containment high range radiation monitors, GTRE0059 and GTRE0060, were susceptible to thermal induced current and moisture intrusion into their respective coaxial cable jackets and Amphenol (N) connectors during a design bases loss
-of-coolant accident or main
-steam-line-break accident. Based on industry operating experience, the licensee determined that the elevated temperature and humidity conditions can impact the indication accuracy and functions. Because no evaluation was available to justify the acceptability of the coaxial cables, the licensee determined that the containment high range radiation monitors were inoperable, but remained functional. The licensee entered Condition F of Technical Specification 3.3.3, "Post Accident Monitoring (PAM) Instrumentation." On March 27, 2017, the licensee submitted a Post Accident Monitoring (PAM) Report, in accordance with Technical Specification 5.6.8, which described the preplanned methods and additional compensatory measures to provide radiation monitoring in containment for use in emergency classification and assessment. These compensatory measures included placing portable survey equipment outside the containment personnel hatch. The portable survey equipment's use was directed through an operator essential reading. The measures also involved changing procedure AP 06
-004, "Equipment Important to Emergency Response," to allow the use of reactor core exit thermocouple temperatures for monitoring containment radiation. Procedure AP 06
-004 also allowed the use of multiple permanently installed auxiliary building radiation monitors to deduce the relative radiation conditions in containment if the containment high range radiation monitors were not available.
6 The inspectors reviewed the preplanned methods and compensatory measures for the inoperable containment high range radiation monitors, GTRE0059 and GTRE0060, to determine compliance with the regulations of 10 CFR 50.54(q)(2). The inspectors determined that the preplanned methods and compensatory measures would not provide appropriate information to deduce the actual radiation conditions in containment for event classification associated with 250 R/hr and 2500 R/hr emergency action level criteria. Specifically, the inspectors determined that the selection of the core exit thermocouples acceptance criteria used for radiation monitoring did not represent a direct or indirect correlation between containment radiation and core exit temperatures during a core degradation event. Additionally, the inspectors determined that no radiation shielding transmission correlations were provided or developed for monitoring containment radiation using auxiliary building radiation monitors, as allowed by AP 06-004. The inspectors determined that the selection of the transmission correlation for the containment hatch portable survey equipment did not appropriately take into account different factors such as radiation source, isotopes, and uncertainties to provide an accurate estimation of radiation inside containment. Therefore, the compensatory measures would not be capable of providing a valid reading for emergency action level criteria for containment radiation in EAL
-2, "Steam Generator Tube Failure," E AL-3, "Loss of Reactor Coolant Boundary," EAL
-4, "Main Steam Line Break," and EAL
-5, "Fuel Element Failure."
The NRC determined that the compensatory measures failed to restore the capability to classify events and reduced their effectiveness of the emergency plan.
Analysis.
The inspectors determined that the failure to maintain the effectiveness of the emergency action level schemes by providing adequate preplanned methods and compensatory measures for the loss of the containment high range radiation monitors in accordance with 50.54 (q)(2) was a performance deficiency. This finding was determined to be more than minor because it was associated with emergency response organization performance attribute of the Emergency Preparedness cornerstone and adversely affected the cornerstone objective. Specifically, the failure to maintain the effectiveness using appropriate compensatory measures adversely affected the objective of ensuring the licensee is capable of implementing adequate measure s to protect the health and safety of the public in the event of a radiological emergency.
The finding was evaluated in accordance with Inspection Manual Chapter 0609, Appendix B, "Emergency Preparedness Significance Determination Process," dated September 22, 2015, because the finding was a failure to comply with risk significant planning standard 10 CFR 50.47(b)(4), "Emergency Classification System." The finding was compared to the examples in Section 5.4 of Inspection Manual Chapter 0609, Appendix B. With the reduced effectiveness of emergency action level classification schemes, the inspectors considered mitigating factors, such as alternative emergency action level criteria within loss
-of-coolant accident or main
-steam-line-break accident schemes and the time in which the containment radiation monitors would be affected by thermal induced currents. The inspectors determined that an appropriate General Emergency classification would have occurred based on 2500 R/hr radiation in containment because the monitors would not be affected by the thermal induced current later in the events. However, containment radiation monitors were susceptible to erratic readings early in the event s which could result in over
-classification of the event causing unnecessary emergency declaration. The erratic readings could cause a declaration of a Site Area Emergency, Alert, or Notification of Unusual Event (NOUE) early in the event to be degraded or delayed using the alternative emergency action level classification
7 criteria. The finding was determined to be of very low safety significance (Green) because (1) emergency action level schemes were rendered ineffective such that any Site Area Emergency would not be declared for a particular off
-normal event, but because of other emergency action levels, an appropriate declaration could be made in a degraded manner; and, (2) the emergency action level classification process would result in an over
-classification causing an unnecessary emergency declaration.
This finding had a cross
-cutting aspect in the area of human performance associated with conservative bias because the licensee failed to use decision making
-practices that emphasized prudent choices over those that are simply allowable. Specifically, the engineering staff incorrectly rationalized an assumption that a direct correlation existed between two symptoms of core degradation, core exit thermocouple and containment radiation
, which formed the basis the emergency plan maintain its effectiveness. [H.14]
Enforcement.
The inspectors identified a Green non-cited violation of 10 CFR 50.54(q)(2) which requires that a holder of a nuclear power plant operating license follow and maintain the effectiveness of an emergency plan that meets the requirements in Appendix E of this part and the risk significant planning standards of 10 CFR 50.47(b). Title 10 CFR 50.47(b)(4)requires that a standard emergency classification and action level scheme, the bases of which include facility system and effluent parameters, is in use by the nuclear facility licensee, and State and local response plans call for reliance on information provided by facility licensees for determinations of minimum initial offsite response measures. Contrary to the above, the licensee failed to maintain the effectiveness of an emergency plan that meets the requirements of the risk significant planning standard of 10 CFR 50.47(b)(4). Specifically, from March 7, 2017, to July 12, 2017, Wolf Creek Generating Station
's response to the inoperability of containment high radiation monitors failed to restore capability to classify emergency action levels during a loss-of-coolant accident or main
-steam-line-break accident. In response to this issue, the licensee provided additional radiation survey monitoring measures and correlations to monitor radiation in the containment building. This finding was entered into the licensee's corrective action program as Condition Report CR
-114274. Because this finding was of very low safety significance and has been entered into the licensee's corrective action program, this violation is being treated as a non
-cited violation consistent with Section 2.3.2.a of the NRC Enforcement Policy:
-01, "Failure to Maintain Effectiveness of the Emergency Plan upon Loss of Containment High Radiation Monitoring."

4OA7 Licensee-Identified Violations
The following violation of very low safety significance (Green) was identified by the licensee and is a violation of NRC requirements which meets the criteria of the NRC Enforcement Policy for being dispositioned as a non-cited violation.
Technical Specification 3.3.3, "Post Accident Monitoring Instrumentation," required two channels of containment area radiation (high range) detectors to be operable when the unit is in Modes 1, 2, or 3. It also required, for one or more functions with two required channels inoperable, that one of the required channels be restored to Operable within 7 days or initiate action in accordance with Technical Specification 5.6.6. Specification 5.6.6 required that a Post Accident Monitoring Instrumentation Report be submitted within 14 days that outlined the preplanned alternate method of monitoring, the cause of inoperability, and the plans and schedule for restoring the instrumentation channels of the Function to Operable status. Contrary to the above
, from 1997 to March 2017, the licensee failed to restore at least one channel of containment high range radiation monitors to operable status, initiate preplanned alternate method s of monitoring the appropriate parameter, or prepare and submit a Post Accident Monitoring Instrumentation Report within 14 days pursuant to Technical Specification 5.6.6. The violation was more than minor because it was associated with the Facilities and Equipment attribute of the Emergency Preparedness Cornerstone and adversely affected the cornerstone objective of ensuring that 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 inspectors determined the significance using Inspection Manual Chapter 0609, Attachment 04, "Initial Characterization of Findings," and Inspection Manual Chapter 0609, Appendix B, "Emergency Preparedness Significance Determination Process,"
Section 5.4 for failure to comply with risk significant planning standard 10 CFR 50.47(b)(4). The finding was determined to be of very low safety significance (Green) because (1) emergency action level schemes were rendered ineffective such that any Site Area Emergency would not be declared for a particular off
-normal event, but because of other emergency action levels, an appropriate declaration could be made in a degraded manner; and, (2) the emergency action level classification process would result in an over
-classification causing an unnecessary emergency declaration.
The violation was entered into the licensee's corrective action program as Condition Reports CR-111440, CR
-111536, and CR
-113217.
