1R13 Maintenance Risk Assessments and Emergent Work Control

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors reviewed station evaluation and management of plant risk for the maintenance and emergent work activities listed below to verify that NextEra performed the appropriate risk assessments prior to removing equipment for work. The inspectors selected these activities based on potential risk significance relative to the reactor safety cornerstones. As applicable for each activity, the inspectors verified that NextEra personnel performed risk assessments as required by 10 CFR 50.65(a)(4) and that the assessments were accurate and complete. When NextEra performed emergent work, the inspectors verified that operations personnel promptly assessed and managed plant risk. The inspectors reviewed the scope of maintenance work and discussed the results were consistent with the risk assessment. The inspectors also reviewed the TS requirements and inspected portions of redundant safety systems, when applicable, to verify risk analysis assumptions were valid and applicable requirements were met.

b. Findings

No findings were identified.

1R15 Operability Determinations and Functionality Assessments

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors reviewed operability determinations for the following degraded or non-conforming conditions based on the risk significance of the associated components and systems: Paul-Munroe snubber code compliance on August 12, 2015 Containment enclosure ventilation area north wall flexural deformation on August 20, 2015 B EDG unexpected load swings on August 24, 2015 Operator workaround (OWA) annual review on September 13, 2015 The inspectors evaluated the technical adequacy of the operability determinations to assess whether 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 TSs and UFSAR to Nevaluations to determine whether the components or systems were operable. The inspectors confirmed, where appropriate, compliance with bounding limitations associated with the evaluations. Where compensatory measures were required to maintain operability, such as in the case of OWAs, the inspectors determined whether the measures in place would function as intended and were properly controlled by NextEra. Based on the annual review of the OWAs currently in effect at Seabrook, the inspectors verified that NextEra identified OWAs at an appropriate threshold and addressed them in a manner that effectively managed OWA-related adverse effects on operators and SSCs.

b. Findings

No findings were identified.

1R18 Plant Modifications

.1 Permanent Modifications

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors evaluated a modification to resolve fire-induced multiple spurious operation concerns associated with an interlock for the refueling water storage tank (RWST) suction valve auto open on volume control tank valve closure, which was implemented by engineering change 271261. The inspectors verified that the design bases, licensing bases, and performance capability of the affected systems were not degraded by the modification. In addition, the inspectors reviewed modification documents associated with the upgrade and design change, including the addition of auxiliary relays, interlocks, main control board selector switches, and associated labeling and wiring. The inspectors also reviewed revisions to the control room alarm response procedures, emergency operating procedures, and interviewed engineering and operations personnel to ensure awareness of the modification and that the changes to procedures could be reasonably performed.

b. Findings

No findings were identified.

1R19 Post-Maintenance Testing

a. Inspection Scope

OTHER ACTIVITIES

4OA1 Performance Indicator Verification

.1 Mitigating Systems Performance Index (3 samples)

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors reviewed submittal of the Mitigating Systems Performance Index for the following systems for the period of July 1, 2014, through June 30, 2015: Emergency alternating current power system (MS06) High pressure injection system (MS07) Heat removal system (MS08) To determine the accuracy of the performance indicator data reported during those periods, the inspectors used definitions and guidance contained in Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI) Document 99-Revision 7. The inspectors also reviewed operator narrative logs, CRs, mitigating systems performance index derivation reports, event reports, and NRC integrated inspection reports to validate the accuracy of the submittals.

b. Findings

No findings were identified.

4OA2 Problem Identification and Resolution

.1 Routine Review of Problem Identification and Resolution Activities

a. Inspection Scope

the inspectors routinely reviewed issues during baseline inspection activities and plant status reviews to verify NextEra entered issues into the CAP at an appropriate threshold, gave adequate attention to timely corrective actions, and identified and addressed adverse trends. In order to assist with the identification of repetitive equipment failures and specific human performance issues for follow-up, the inspectors performed a daily screening of items entered into the CAP and periodically attended CR screening meetings. The inspectors also confirmed, on a sampling basis, that, as applicable, for identified defects and non-conformances, NextEra performed an evaluation in accordance with 10 CFR Part 21.

b. Findings

No findings were identified.

.2 Annual Sample:

Review of Fire Protection Impairments (1 sample)

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors performed an in-depth review of NextEra's evaluations and corrective actions associated with multiple fire protection system impairments in four specific areas: Containment enclosure ventilation area seismic gap fire seals Fire water main header piping leak Repetitive and multiple fire detection alarms Inoperable fire doors The inspectors assessed NextEra's problem identification threshold, problem analysis, extent of condition reviews, compensatory actions, and the prioritization and timeliness of corrective actions to determine whether NextEra was appropriately identifying, characterizing, and correcting problems associated with this issue and whether the planned or completed corrective actions were appropriate. The inspectors compared the actions taken to the requirements of NextEra's CAP, fire protection program, and fire protection quality assurance requirements. The inspectors interviewed engineering and operations personnel to assess the effectiveness of the implemented corrective actions, the reasonableness of the planned corrective actions, and to evaluate the extent of any on-going problems.

b. Findings and Observations

No findings of significance were identified. On June 26, 2014, Seabrook identified a large leak in a buried branch line from the fire water main loop outside of the protected area. functionality determination for the fire waster system and concluded that nextEra had appropriately considered the fire water main loop capability and capacity to supply the required water suppression systems (e.g., sprinklers and hydrants) with a portion of the main loop isolated during leak repairs. cause evaluation (ACE) and corrective actions identified several weaknesses. NextEra's ACE determined that large rocks, in contact with the buried pipe, had damaged the external coating and resulted in through-wall corrosion from the outside. The ACE concluded that unregulated backfill for buried pipe located outside of the protected area was the most probable cause. NextEra concluded that no extent of condition inspections were necessary on the fire water loop outside of the protected area because that portion of the fire water system was not required to be maintained to support water suppression systems that were required by the Technical Requirements Manual (TRM) to protect safety-related equipment. In addition, NextEra concluded that additional fire water piping leaks outside of the protected area were likely. The inspectors concluded that the ACE extent of condition was inconsistent with the physical layout of the fire water system because the three fire pumps, two water storage tanks, and sections of the main header fire loop were also located outside of the protected area. The inspectors reviewed Seabrook's current licensing basis (CLB) for the fire water system and identified that the yard fire main loop, as described in the CLB, consisted of a single loop around both Units 1 and 2, with the Unit 2 portion outside of the protected area (Unit 2 construction had been stopped and abandoned in-place), with three pumps supplying water to each half of the main loop to satisfy the single failure criterion and ensure that a single pipe break could not disable all water suppression systems. Therefore, the inspectors concluded that the buried fire main loop outside of the protected area was required to be maintained by Seabrook's CLB and was therefore also required to support Unit 1 TRM water suppression systems. The inspectors concluded that the failure to perform an extent of condition review and the failure to identify the Unit 2 portion of the fire loop as necessary to support Unit 1 were minor issues, because NextEra adequately corrected a condition adverse to fire protection (i.e., fixed the leak and restored the main loop) within a reasonable time period. In addition, the inspectors reviewed action request 00213052-05, "Buried and Underground Piping and Tanks Integrity Program," which NextEra had implemented to meet a voluntary industry initiative, using the guidance provided in NEI 09-14, "Management of Underground Piping & Tank Integrity." NEI 09-14 required external visual inspections on buried piping to provide reasonable assurance of buried piping integrity. However, NextEra's program excluded fire mains from external visual inspection based on an assumption that monitoring the fire jockey pump run times would be sufficient to ensure fire water system integrity. The inspectors determined that the jockey pump run times, immediately prior to the pipe leak, had not sufficiently changed and did not provide any advanced warning of the impending pipe leaks. Therefore, the inspectors concluded that NextEra's buried piping program had excluded fire water pipe inspections based on an assumption that was inconsistent with plant operating experience. The inspectors concluded that the identified deficiency in the underground piping integrity program was a minor issue because it was a weakness in implementing a voluntary industry initiative. NextEra entered these issues into their CAP as ARs 02059404, 02059408, 02076461, and 02076463, and is evaluating the future conduct of external inspections of buried fire water piping.
