IR 05000293/2007-005; 10/01/2007-12/31/2007; Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station; Event
 
Follow-up.
 
The report covered a 13-week period of inspection by resident and region-based inspectors.
 
One Green finding was identified. 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 nuclear power reactors is described in NUREG-1649, "Reactor Oversight Process," Revision 4, dated December 2006.
 
===A. NRC-Identified and Self-Revealing Findings===
 
===Cornerstone: Initiating Events===
: '''Green.'''
A Green self-revealing finding was identified for Entergy
=s failure to ensure the proper verification and calibration of vacuum trip switch VTS-1 during refueling outage (RFO) 16. Specifically, personnel did not ensure that the proper verification/calibration technique was employed to determine the as-found low condenser vacuum turbine trip setpoint. Additionally, when the technician identified that the as-found data was significantly outside of historical as-found values, he did not question the validity of the data nor did he obtain a peer check. The technician then calibrated the instrument using the incorrect as-found data which resulted in an incorrect low vacuum trip setpoint and a subsequent turbine trip and reactor scram on July 10, 2007.
 
This finding is more than minor because it is associated with the human performance attribute of the Initiating Events Cornerstone and affects the cornerstone objective of limiting the likelihood of those events t hat upset plant stability during pow er operations. The finding is of very low safety significance (Green) because it did not contribute to both the likelihood of a reactor trip and the likelihood that mitigation equipment would be unavailable. This finding has a cross-cutting aspect in the area of Human Performance,
Work Practices, because Entergy proceeded in the face of uncertainty or unexpected circumstances when the VTS-1 setpoint was found significantly outside of expected as-found values. [H.4(a)] (Section 4OA3)
 
===B. Licensee-Identified Violations===
 
None.

====b. Findings====
No findings of significance were identified.
 
===.2 Licensed Operator Requalification===
{{IP sample|IP=IP 71111.11B}}
 
====a. Inspection Scope====
(1 sample)
The following inspection activities were performed using NUREG 1021, Revision 9, "Operator Licensing Examination Standards for Power Reactors," Inspection Procedure 7111111, "Licensed Operator Requalification Program," Appendix A, "Checklist for Evaluating Facility Testing Material" and Appendix B, "Suggested Interview Topics."
 
The inspectors reviewed documentation of operating history since the last requalification program inspection. Documents reviewed included NRC inspection reports and licensee CRs that involved human performance issues. The purpose of the review was to ensure operational events that occurred during the last two years were not indicative of possible training deficiencies. The inspectors also discussed facility operating events with the resident staff.
 
The inspectors reviewed comprehensive written exams (these exams were administered in the fall, 2006), and the scenarios and job performance measures administered during the weeks of September 10 and 17, 2007, to ensure the quality of these exams met or exceeded the criteria established in the Examination Standards and 10 CFR 55.59, "Requalification."  The inspectors observed the administration of the operating exams to two crews.
 
8Conformance with simulator requirements specified in 10 CFR 55.46, "Simulation Facilities" The inspectors observed simulator performance during the conduct of the examinations, and reviewed simulator discrepancy reports to determine whether facility staff was complying with the requirements of 10 CFR 55.46. The inspectors reviewed a sample of simulator tests including transients; normal and steady state; malfunctions; and core performance tests.
 
Conformance with operator license conditions The inspectors determined whether the operators were complying with the conditions of their license by reviewing the following:
$ five medical records (The records were complete; restrictions noted by the doctor were reflected on the individual's license; and physical exams were given within 24 months.); 
$ eight proficiency watch-standing records and one reactivation record (Records indicated the licensed operators conformed with proficiency and reactivation watch-standing requirements of 10 CFR 55.53, Conditions of Licenses.); and
$ remediation training records for four licensed operators (These operators had failed either an annual operating test, a comprehensive written exam, or a requalification segment evaluation. The remediation records were acceptable.).
Licensee's feedback system The inspectors interviewed operator requalification instructors, training and operations management, and two licensed operators for feedback regarding the implementation of the licensed operator requalification program to ensure the requalification program was meeting their needs and responsive to their recommended changes.
 
On October 29, 2007, the inspectors conducted an in-office review of licensee requalification exam results. These results reflected the operators' performance on the annual operating tests; the comprehensive written exams were administered in the fall, 2006, and therefore those test results were not part of this in-office review. The inspector assessed whether pass rates were consistent with the guidance of NRC IMC 0609, Appendix I, "Operator Requalification Human Performance SDP."  The inspectors verified that:
$ Crew failure rate on the dynamic simulator was less than 20 percent. (Failure rate was 0.0 percent)
$ Individual failure rate on the dynamic simulator test was less than or equal to 20 percent. (Failure rate was 0.0 percent)
$ Individual failure rate on the walkthrough test (job performance measures) was  less than or equal to 20 percent. (Failure rate was 0.0 percent)9$ Individual failure rate on the comprehensive written exam was less than or equal  to 20 percent. (As noted above, the comprehensive written exams were administered in the fall, 2006. Test results were previously documented in NRC IR 50-293/2006-005.)
 
$ More than 75 percent of the individuals passed all portions of the exam. (100% of the individuals passed all portions of the exam)

===.2 Semi-Annual Review to Identify Trends===
 
====a. Inspection Scope====
(1 sample)
As required by Inspection Procedure 71152, "Identification and Resolution of Problems,"
the inspectors performed a review of Entergy
=s CAP and associated documents to identify trends that could indicate the existence of a more significant safety issue. The inspectors review was focused on repetitive equipment and corrective maintenance issues but also considered the results of daily inspector CAP item screening discussed in Section 4OA2.1. The review also included issues documented in CAP trend reports and site CAP performance indicator data. The inspectors review considered the six month period of June through December, 2007, although the inspectors also evaluated the trend review results discussed in NRC IR 05000293/2007003, which reviewed CRs from October 2006 through May 2007. Documents reviewed during the inspection are listed in the
.
16b. Assessment and Observations No findings of significance were identified. The inspectors noted a number of plant equipment configuration control issues discussed in the third quarter 2007 Pilgrim Station Quarterly Trend Report, including:
$ CR-PNP-2007-00303, PS-CKVS-B (Crankcase Pressure Switch A B@ Diesel) not valved in correctly;
$ CR-PNP-2007-01446, RCIC check valve 1301-CK-50 initial position found open instead of closed;
$ CR-PNP-2007-02383, Breaker B1446 (EDG A B@ Diesel Oil Transfer Pump) found A OFF,@ normal position is A ON;@ $ CR-PNP-2007-02468, Isolation valve found closed on Reactor Pressure Transmitter;
$ CR-PNP-2007-02476, Spare breaker found closed when it was expected to be open; and
$ CR-PNP-2007-02651, EDG failed to start (likely due to fuel rack and governor left in full fuel position).
 
The report concluded that the number of issues Adoes not exhibit an adverse or emerging trend,@ but that Operations Management considers the number of Amispositionings
@ to be at an unacceptable level. The inspectors also considered the number of issues discussed in the report to be at an unacceptable level, however, the inspectors also concluded that these issues represent a low level trend in the area of configuration control. The inspectors have discussed this trend with licensee management and will continue to monitor configuration control issues at Pilgrim during this assessment period.

===.3 Annual Sample: Review of Outage CRs===


=SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION=
====a. Inspection Scope====
(1 sample)
The inspectors reviewed a sample of CRs from Pilgrim's 2007 refueling outage to determine whether CRs initiated during the outage were processed and closed in accordance with Pilgrim procedures. The inspectors reviewed two Apparent Cause Evaluations conducted by Pilgrim. The inspectors evaluated whether corrective actions taken by Pilgrim addressed each CR as well as the overall process. Documents reviewed are listed in the Attachment.


==KEY POINTS OF CONTACT==
b. Assessment and Observations No findings of significance were identified. The inspectors determined that there were many instances where the condition review group (CRG) closed a lower level (Category D) CR to "supervisory oversight."  Managers would perform follow-up and close the CR with a general statement such as "Corrective actions for the CR were reviewed by the responsible manager. Upon the manager's recommendation, this CR is being closed."
......................................................................................................A-1


==LIST OF ITEMS==
This practice resulted in a condition where corrective actions for a particular issue could not be tracked or demonstrated. Pilgrim has since discontinued this practice as an acceptable closure strategy for Category D CRs.

Follow-up.  


The report covered a 13-week period of inspection by resident and region-based inspectors.
One Green finding was identified. 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

RFO) 16. Specifically, personnel did not ensure that the proper verification/calibration
technique was employed to determine the as-found low condenser vacuum turbine trip
setpoint. Additionally, when the technician identified that the as-found data was
significantly outside of historical as-found values, he did not question the validity of the
data nor did he obtain a peer check. The technician then calibrated the instrument using
the incorrect as-found data which resulted in an incorrect low vacuum trip setpoint and a
subsequent turbine trip and reactor scram on July 10, 2007. This finding is more than minor because it is associated with the human performance
attribute of the Initiating Events Cornerstone and affects the cornerstone objective of
limiting the likelihood of those events that upset plant stability during power operations. The finding is of very low safety significance (Green) because it did not contribute to both
the likelihood of a reactor trip and the likelihood that mitigation equipment would be
unavailable. This finding has a cross-cutting aspect in the area of Human Performance,
Work Practices, because Entergy proceeded in the face of uncertainty or unexpected
circumstances when the VTS-1 setpoint was found significantly outside of expected as-
found values. [H.4(a)] (Section

61R05 Fire Protection (71111.05)  Fire Protection - Tours (71111.05Q)
a. Inspection Scope (8 samples)
The inspectors performed walkdowns of eight fire protection areas during the inspection
period. The inspectors reviewed Entergy's fire protection program to determine the
required fire protection design features, fire area boundaries, and combustible loading
requirements for the selected areas. The inspectors walked down these areas to assess
Entergy's control of transient combustible material and ignition sources. In addition, the
inspectors evaluated the material condition and operational status of fire detection and
suppression capabilities, fire barriers, and any related compensatory measures. The inspectors then compared the existing conditions of the areas to the fire protection
program requirements to ensure all program requirements were being met. Documents
reviewed during the inspection are listed in the Attachment. The fire protection areas
reviewed were:  $ Fire Zone 5.2, "B" Train Salt Service Water Pump Room; $ Fire Zone 1.22, "B" Reactor Building Closed Cooling Water Pumps and Heat Exchanger Rooms; $ Fire Zone 4.2, "B" Emergency Diesel Day Tank Room; $ Fire Zone 4.4, "A" Emergency Diesel Day Tank Room; $ Fire Area 1.9, Fire Zone 2.2, "A" Switchgear and Load Center Room; $ Fire Area 1.9, Fire Zone 3.5, Vital Motor Generator Set Room; $ Fire Zone 1.3, High Pressure Coolant Injection Pump/Turbine Room; and $ Fire Zone 2.3, Battery Room AA.@    b.

1R11 Licensed Operator Requalification (71111.11) 
.1 Resident Inspector Quarterly Review (71111.11Q)
a. Inspection Scope (1 sample)  The inspectors observed licensed operator requalification training on November 6, 2007.
Specifically, the inspectors observed classroom Senior Reactor Operator (SRO) training
on Emergency Planning, Emergency Action Level (EAL) Classification, and Protective
Action Recommendation (PAR) procedures and processes. The inspectors assessed
the training to determine if the training adequately prepared the
: [[SRO]] [[s to determine]]
EAL
classification levels and to conduct PAR assessments. The inspectors reviewed the
applicable training objectives to determine if they had been achieved. The inspectors
verified that issues identified during the classroom session were entered into the
corrective action program. Documents reviewed during the inspection are listed in the
Attachment.
b. Findings  No findings of significance were identified. 
.2 Licensed Operator Requalification (71111.11B)
a. Inspection Scope (1 sample)  The following inspection activities were performed using
: [[NUR]] [[]]
EG 1021, Revision 9,
"Operator Licensing Examination Standards for Power Reactors," Inspection Procedure
7111111, "Licensed Operator Requalification Program," Appendix A,
"Checklist for Evaluating Facility Testing Material" and Appendix B, "Suggested Interview Topics."  The inspectors reviewed documentation of operating history since the last requalification
program inspection. Documents reviewed included NRC inspection reports and licensee
CRs that involved human performance issues. The purpose of the review was to ensure
operational events that occurred during the last two years were not indicative of possible
training deficiencies. The inspectors also discussed facility operating events with the resident staff. The inspectors reviewed comprehensive written exams (these exams were administered
in the fall, 2006), and the scenarios and job performance measures administered during
the weeks of September 10 and 17, 2007, to ensure the quality of these exams met or
exceeded the criteria established in the Examination Standards and 10 CFR 55.59,
"Requalification."  The inspectors observed the administration of the operating exams to
two crews.
8Conformance with simulator requirements specified in 10 CFR 55.46, "Simulation Facilities"  The inspectors observed simulator performance during the conduct of the examinations,
and reviewed simulator discrepancy reports to determine whether facility staff was complying with the requirements of 10 CFR 55.46. The inspectors reviewed a sample of
simulator tests including transients; normal and steady state; malfunctions; and core
performance tests. Conformance with operator license conditions  The inspectors determined whether the operators were complying with the conditions of
their license by reviewing the following:  $ five medical records (The records were complete; restrictions noted by the doctor were reflected on the individual's license; and physical exams were given within
months.);  $ eight proficiency watch-standing records and one reactivation record (Records indicated the licensed operators conformed with proficiency and reactivation
watch-standing requirements of 10 CFR 55.53, Conditions of Licenses.); and $ remediation training records for four licensed operators (These operators had failed either an annual operating test, a comprehensive written exam, or a
requalification segment evaluation. The remediation records were acceptable.). Licensee's feedback system    The inspectors interviewed operator requalification instructors, training and operations
management, and two licensed operators for feedback regarding the implementation of
the licensed operator requalification program to ensure the requalification program was
meeting their needs and responsive to their recommended changes. On October 29, 2007, the inspectors conducted an in-office review of licensee
requalification exam results. These results reflected the operators' performance on the
annual operating tests; the comprehensive written exams were administered in the fall,
2006, and therefore those test results were not part of this in-office review. The
inspector assessed whether pass rates were consistent with the guidance of
: [[NRC]] [[]]
IMC
0609, Appendix I, "Operator Requalification Human Performance SDP."  The inspectors
verified that:  $ Crew failure rate on the dynamic simulator was less than 20 percent. (Failure rate was 0.0 percent)  $ Individual failure rate on the dynamic simulator test was less than or equal to 20 percent.  (Failure rate was 0.0 percent)  $ Individual failure rate on the walkthrough test (job performance measures) was  less than or equal to 20 percent.  (Failure rate was 0.0 percent)
9$ Individual failure rate on the comprehensive written exam was less than or equal  to 20 percent.  (As noted above, the comprehensive written exams were administered in the fall, 2006. Test results were previously documented in NRC
IR 50-293/2006-005.)  $ More than 75 percent of the individuals passed all portions of the exam. (100% of the individuals passed all portions of the exam)
b. Findings  No findings of significance were identified.
1R12 Maintenance Effectiveness (71111.12)
a. Inspection Scope (2 samples)  The inspectors reviewed action plans for two SSC issues and reviewed the performance
history of these
: [[SSC]] [[s to assess the effectiveness of Entergy=s maintenance activities. The inspectors reviewed Entergy=s]]
: [[CR]] [[s, corrective actions, and functional failure determinations made in accordance with Entergy procedures and the requirements of]]
: [[10 CFR]] [[50.65(a)(1) and (a)(2),]]
ARequirements for Monitoring the Effectiveness of Maintenance at Nuclear Power Plants.@  In addition, the inspectors reviewed selected SSC classification, goals, corrective actions, performance criteria and monitoring plans to return the (a)(1) systems to (a)(2) status. Also, the inspectors selected a sample of
system health reports for review to evaluate the results of system performance
monitoring, material condition, and operations impact, to determine if actions taken were
reasonable and appropriate. The references used for this inspection are listed in the
to this report. The following issues were reviewed:  $ Turbine Controls Subsystem failure, failed maintenance rule performance criteria of one functional failure in two years (CR-PNP-2007-03673); and $
: [[AB]] [[@ Emergency Diesel Generator (]]
EDG) exceeded maintenance rule performance criteria due to functional failures on October 25, 2006, and January 4, 2007 (CR-PNP-2007-0052).
b. Findings  No findings of significance were identified.
1R13 Maintenance Risk Assessments and Emergent Work Control (71111.13)
a. Inspection Scope (4 samples)  The inspectors evaluated online and shutdown risk management for emergent and
planned activities. The inspectors reviewed maintenance risk evaluations, work
schedules, and control room logs to determine if concurrent planned and emergent
maintenance or surveillance activities adversely affected the plant risk already incurred with out-of-service components. The inspectors evaluated whether Entergy took the
10necessary steps to control work activities, minimize the probability of initiating events, and maintain the functional capability of mitigating systems. The inspectors assessed Entergy's risk management actions during plant walkdowns. Documents reviewed during
the inspection are listed in the Attachment. The inspectors reviewed the conduct and
adequacy of scheduled and emergent maintenance risk assessments for the following
maintenance and testing activities:  $ Yellow risk condition during emergent unavailability of the "A"
: [[EDG]] [[due to an engine coolant leak in the turbo charger casing; $ Vital Motor Generator Set maintenance; $ Yellow Risk Condition during scheduled maintenance resulting in the unavailability of the]]

2OS3 Radiation Monitoring Instrumentation and Protective Equipment (71121.03)
a. Inspection Scope (9 samples)  During the period October 15-18, 2007, the inspector conducted the following activities to
evaluate the operability and accuracy of radiation monitoring instrumentation, and the adequacy of the respiratory protection program relative to maintaining and issuing
self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA). Implementation of these programs was
reviewed against the criteria contained in 10 CFR 20, "Standards for Protection Against
Radiation;" applicable industry standards; and Pilgrim procedures. The inspector reviewed the
: [[UFS]] [[]]
AR to identify area, process, and emergency monitors
that are installed at Pilgrim for the protection of workers. The inspectors reviewed the
current calibration records for selected instrumentation, including the Turbine Building
Radwaste Sump Area monitor (1815-8C), the Reactor Building 23' South East Access
Area monitor (1815-2D), and the Reactor Building Outside Traversing In-Core Probe
Room monitor (1815-2B). The inspector selected hand-held radiation instruments, air monitors, contamination
monitors, and electronic dosimeters currently in use in the plant, and reviewed the
13calibration records for this instrumentation. Included in this review were the calibration records for selected electronic dosimeters (DMC-2000), radiation survey instruments
(RO-2,
: [[RO]] [[-2A,]]
: [[RO]] [[-20, Wide Range Telepole), contamination survey instruments (RM-14,]]
: [[MD]] [[-12,]]
SAM-9), count room scalers (BC-4, SAC-4), and air samplers (H809V, Victoreen
Lapel Sampler). The inspector reviewed the maintenance records, safety interlock checks, and current
calibration source activity/dose rate determinations for the Shepard Model 78, Shepard
Model 423, and Model 773 instrument calibrators. The inspector evaluated the licensee's program for assuring quality in the radiation
monitoring instrumentation and respiratory protection programs by reviewing 16 CRs
related to radiation instrumentation,
: [[SC]] [[]]
BA's, and the monitoring of plant radiation levels to
determine if problems were identified in a timely manner and appropriate corrective
actions were taken to resolve the related issues. There were no incidents of personnel internal exposure resulting in a Committed Effective
Dose Equivalent > 50 mrem that would require an in-depth evaluation of whole body
counting instrumentation and bioassay techniques. The inspector reviewed actions for radiation worker and radiation protection technician
errors to determine whether the corrective actions were adequate to prevent recurrence. The inspector verified calibration due dates and observed a technician performing source
checks on a variety of instruments including portable radiation survey instruments (RO-2,
Wide Range Telepole), contamination survey instruments (RM-14s, SAM 9), count room
scalers (BC-4), and personal contamination monitors (PPM-1,
: [[PM]] [[-7). The inspector reviewed surveillance records for ten]]
SCBAs staged for use in the control
room, Radiological Controlled Area access location, and the fire brigade equipment
staging area in the fire service pump building. The inspector observed a technician
perform an inspection of six of the ten units staged for use. The inspector observed a
technician fill two
: [[SC]] [[]]
BA air bottles from the air compressor unit. The sample results for
breathing air, used to refill the
: [[SCBA]] [[tanks, were reviewed to confirm that air quality met]]
CGA-G-7.1-2004 Grade D standards. The inspector evaluated the adequacy of the respiratory protection program regarding the
issuance of
: [[SC]] [[]]
BAs to workers. Training and qualification records for licensed operators,
radiation protection technicians, and fire brigade members required to wear
: [[SC]] [[]]
BA's, in
the event of an emergency, were reviewed.
b. Findings  No findings of significance were identified.
142PS3 Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program and Radioactive Material Control Program (71122.03)
a. Inspection Scope (1 sample)  During the period October 15-18, 2007, the inspector conducted the following activity to
determine whether the licensee's surveys and controls are adequate to prevent the
inadvertent release of licensed materials into the public domain. Implementation of these
controls was reviewed against the criteria contained in 10 CFR 20, "Standards for
Protection Against Radiation;" TS; and Entergy procedures. This inspection activity
represents completion of one sample relative to this inspection area. The inspector observed the radioactive material survey and release locations. The
methods used for control, survey, and release were inspected and included observations
of the performance of personnel surveying and releasing material for unrestricted use and

4OA2 Identification and Resolution of Problems (71152) 
.1 Review of Items Entered into the Corrective Action Program (CAP)
a. Inspection Scope  The inspectors performed a screening of each item entered into the licensee's CAP. This
review was accomplished by reviewing printouts of each CR, attending daily screening
meetings and/or accessing the licensee's database. The purpose of this review was to
identify conditions such as repetitive equipment failures or human performance issues
that might warrant additional follow-up.
b. Findings  No findings of significance were identified. 
.2 Semi-Annual Review to Identify Trends
a. Inspection Scope (1 sample)  As required by Inspection Procedure 71152, "Identification and Resolution of Problems,"
the inspectors performed a review of Entergy=s CAP and associated documents to identify trends that could indicate the existence of a more significant safety issue. The inspectors review was focused on repetitive equipment and corrective maintenance issues but also

these issues represent a low level trend in the area of configuration control. The
inspectors have discussed this trend with licensee management and will continue to monitor configuration control issues at Pilgrim during this assessment period. 
.3 Annual Sample: Review of Outage CRs
a. Inspection Scope (1 sample)  The inspectors reviewed a sample of CRs from Pilgrim's 2007 refueling outage to
determine whether CRs initiated during the outage were processed and closed in
accordance with Pilgrim procedures. The inspectors reviewed two Apparent Cause
Evaluations conducted by Pilgrim. The inspectors evaluated whether corrective actions
taken by Pilgrim addressed each CR as well as the overall process. Documents reviewed
are listed in the Attachment.

with a general statement such as "Corrective actions for the CR were reviewed by the
responsible manager. Upon the manager's recommendation, this CR is being closed."
This practice resulted in a condition where corrective actions for a particular issue could
not be tracked or demonstrated. Pilgrim has since discontinued this practice as an
acceptable closure strategy for Category D CRs.

On October 3, 2007, Pilgrim operators performed a planned manual transfer of vital alternating current (AC) power from its normal power source, the vital MG set, to its alternate power source, bus B15, with the plant at power. This infrequently performed evolution was conducted to remove the vital MG set from service for repairs. The evolution posed several challenges to Pilgrim operators because the transfer of the vital AC power from its normal to its alternate source would cause a momentary interruption in vital AC power. Similar evolutions in the past had resulted in complications such as the receipt of reactor building isolation signals, feed regulating valve position lock ups, and recirculation pump scoop tube position lock ups.

Entergy determined that the root cause of the event was that the technician who had calibrated the VTS-1 switch during RFO 16 had not properly implemented human performance tools (e.g., training) for this particular type of large volume instrument to ensure a proper calibration. Specifically, since the bellows for VTS-1 are very large, the vacuum must be decreased slowly during the calibration in order for an accurate setpoint to be obtained. While obtaining the as-found setpoint, the technician did not decrease the vacuum slowly which resulted in faulty as-found results. Additionally, when the as-found data suggested that the vacuum switch was considerably outside of historical results, the technician did not question the validity of the data nor did he obtain a peer check.

Enforcement action does not apply because the performance deficiency did not involve a violation of a regulatory requirement in that the vacuum trip switch is not a safety-related component. Entergy has entered this issue into their corrective action program as CR-PNP-2007-3231. Corrective actions included recalibrating VTS-1 before the plant restart, providing remedial training for the technician who had conducted the improper calibration, and adding vacuum switch fundamentals as a continuing training topic for the instrumentation and controls (I&C) technicians. Additional corrective actions planned by Entergy include revising Procedure 8.F.51 to include more detailed guidance and to require a supervisory review of as-found data prior to performing adjustments; conducting just-in-time training prior to the RFO 17 vacuum trip switch setpoint verification and calibration; and identifying and revising other I&C procedures involving critical calibrations.

UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION REGION I 475 ALLENDALE ROAD KING OF PRUSSIA, PA 19406

February 1, 2008

Mr. Kevin Bronson Site Vice President Entergy Nuclear Operations, Inc.

Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station 600 Rocky Hill Road Plymouth, MA 02360-5508

SUBJECT: PILGRIM NUCLEAR POWER STATION - NRC INTEGRATED INSPECTION REPORT 05000293/2007005

Dear Mr. Bronson:

On December 31, 2007, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed an inspection at your Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station (PNPS). The enclosed report documents the results, which were discussed on January 9, 2008, 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.

This report documents one self-revealing finding of very low safety significance (Green) for which no violation of NRC requirements was identified.

In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 of the NRC's "Rules of Practice," a copy of this letter, its enclosures, and your response (if any) will be available electronically for public ins pection in the NRC Public Document Room or from the Publicly Available Records (PARS) component of the NRC's document system (ADAMS). ADAMS is accessible from the NRC Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html (the Public Electronic Reading Room).

Sincerely,/RA/ Raymond J. Powell, Chief Projects Branch 5 Division of Reactor Projects Docket No. 50-293 License No. DPR-35

SUMMARY OF FINDINGS

IR 05000293/2007-005; 10/01/2007-12/31/2007; Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station; Event

Follow-up.

The report covered a 13-week period of inspection by resident and region-based inspectors.

One Green finding was identified. 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 nuclear power reactors is described in NUREG-1649, "Reactor Oversight Process," Revision 4, dated December 2006.

A. NRC-Identified and Self-Revealing Findings

Cornerstone: Initiating Events

Green.

A Green self-revealing finding was identified for Entergy

=s failure to ensure the proper verification and calibration of vacuum trip switch VTS-1 during refueling outage (RFO) 16. Specifically, personnel did not ensure that the proper verification/calibration technique was employed to determine the as-found low condenser vacuum turbine trip setpoint. Additionally, when the technician identified that the as-found data was significantly outside of historical as-found values, he did not question the validity of the data nor did he obtain a peer check. The technician then calibrated the instrument using the incorrect as-found data which resulted in an incorrect low vacuum trip setpoint and a subsequent turbine trip and reactor scram on July 10, 2007.

This finding is more than minor because it is associated with the human performance attribute of the Initiating Events Cornerstone and affects the cornerstone objective of limiting the likelihood of those events t hat upset plant stability during pow er operations. The finding is of very low safety significance (Green) because it did not contribute to both the likelihood of a reactor trip and the likelihood that mitigation equipment would be unavailable. This finding has a cross-cutting aspect in the area of Human Performance,

Work Practices, because Entergy proceeded in the face of uncertainty or unexpected circumstances when the VTS-1 setpoint was found significantly outside of expected as-found values. H.4(a) (Section 4OA3)

B. Licensee-Identified Violations

None.

REPORT DETAILS

Summary of Plant Status

Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station (PNPS) operated at or near 100 percent power during the inspection period with the following exceptions: On October 30, 2007, Entergy reduced power to approximately 48 percent to perform a thermal backwash on the main condenser. Entergy resumed 100 percent power operation on October 31, 2007. On December 10, 2007, Entergy shut down and commenced a planned outage to repair leaking safety relief valve, RV-203-3B.

Entergy restored the plant to 100 percent power on December 13, 2007. The plant remained at or near 100 percent for the remainder of the inspection period.

REACTOR SAFETY

Cornerstones: Initiating Events, Mitigating Systems, and Barrier Integrity

1R01 Adverse Weather Protection

a. Inspection Scope

(3 samples - 1 seasonal readiness, 2 impending adverse weather)

The inspectors performed a review of cold weather preparations during the onset of the cold weather season to evaluate the site's readiness for seasonal susceptibilities. The inspectors reviewed Entergy's preparations for cold weather and its impact on the protection of safety-related systems, structures and components (SSCs). The inspection focused on the intake structure, the station blackout diesel generator and the condensate storage and transfer system. The inspection was intended to ensure that Entergy's equipment, instrumentation, and supporting structures were configured in accordance with Entergy's procedures and that adequate controls were in place to ensure functionality of the systems in cold weather. The inspectors also conducted a site walkdown on November 1, 2007, to assess Entergy's readiness for the potential affects of hurricane Noel. The inspectors verified that all outside objects were properly anchored or tied down. In addition, the inspectors conducted a site walkdown on December 12, 2007, to evaluate site preparations for an approaching coastal storm with accompanying high winds.

b. Findings

No findings of significance were identified.

1R04 Equipment Alignment

.1 Partial System Walkdowns

a. Inspection Scope

(4 samples)

The inspectors performed four partial system walkdowns during this inspection period.

The inspectors reviewed the documents listed in the Attachment to determine the correct 5system alignment. The inspectors conducted a partial walkdown of each system to determine if the critical portions of the selected systems were correctly aligned in accordance with these procedures and to identify any discrepancies that may have had an effect on operability. The walkdowns included selected switch and valve position checks, and verification of electrical power to critical components. Finally, the inspectors evaluated other elements, such as material condition, housekeeping, and component labeling. The following systems were reviewed based on their risk significance for the given plant configuration:

$ "B" Reactor Building Closed Cooling Water (RBCCW) system during degradation of the "A" RBCCW system;

$ "B" Residual Heat Removal (RHR) system during "A" RHR surveillance;

$ High Pressure Coolant Injection (HPCI) system while the Reactor Core Isolation Cooling (RCIC) system was out of service; and

$ RBCCW system "B" loop, upon restoration of "E" RBCCW pump following completion of 3.M.3-47.2, "'B' Train Functional Test of Individual Load Shed Component.

(1 sample)

The following inspection activities were performed using NUREG 1021, Revision 9, "Operator Licensing Examination Standards for Power Reactors," Inspection Procedure 7111111, "Licensed Operator Requalification Program," Appendix A, "Checklist for Evaluating Facility Testing Material" and Appendix B, "Suggested Interview Topics."

The inspectors reviewed documentation of operating history since the last requalification program inspection. Documents reviewed included NRC inspection reports and licensee CRs that involved human performance issues. The purpose of the review was to ensure operational events that occurred during the last two years were not indicative of possible training deficiencies. The inspectors also discussed facility operating events with the resident staff.

The inspectors reviewed comprehensive written exams (these exams were administered in the fall, 2006), and the scenarios and job performance measures administered during the weeks of September 10 and 17, 2007, to ensure the quality of these exams met or exceeded the criteria established in the Examination Standards and 10 CFR 55.59, "Requalification." The inspectors observed the administration of the operating exams to two crews.

8Conformance with simulator requirements specified in 10 CFR 55.46, "Simulation Facilities" The inspectors observed simulator performance during the conduct of the examinations, and reviewed simulator discrepancy reports to determine whether facility staff was complying with the requirements of 10 CFR 55.46. The inspectors reviewed a sample of simulator tests including transients; normal and steady state; malfunctions; and core performance tests.

Conformance with operator license conditions The inspectors determined whether the operators were complying with the conditions of their license by reviewing the following:

$ five medical records (The records were complete; restrictions noted by the doctor were reflected on the individual's license; and physical exams were given within 24 months.);

$ eight proficiency watch-standing records and one reactivation record (Records indicated the licensed operators conformed with proficiency and reactivation watch-standing requirements of 10 CFR 55.53, Conditions of Licenses.); and

$ remediation training records for four licensed operators (These operators had failed either an annual operating test, a comprehensive written exam, or a requalification segment evaluation. The remediation records were acceptable.).

Licensee's feedback system The inspectors interviewed operator requalification instructors, training and operations management, and two licensed operators for feedback regarding the implementation of the licensed operator requalification program to ensure the requalification program was meeting their needs and responsive to their recommended changes.

On October 29, 2007, the inspectors conducted an in-office review of licensee requalification exam results. These results reflected the operators' performance on the annual operating tests; the comprehensive written exams were administered in the fall, 2006, and therefore those test results were not part of this in-office review. The inspector assessed whether pass rates were consistent with the guidance of NRC IMC 0609, Appendix I, "Operator Requalification Human Performance SDP." The inspectors verified that:

$ Crew failure rate on the dynamic simulator was less than 20 percent. (Failure rate was 0.0 percent)

$ Individual failure rate on the dynamic simulator test was less than or equal to 20 percent. (Failure rate was 0.0 percent)

$ Individual failure rate on the walkthrough test (job performance measures) was less than or equal to 20 percent. (Failure rate was 0.0 percent)9$ Individual failure rate on the comprehensive written exam was less than or equal to 20 percent. (As noted above, the comprehensive written exams were administered in the fall, 2006. Test results were previously documented in NRC IR 50-293/2006-005.)

$ More than 75 percent of the individuals passed all portions of the exam. (100% of the individuals passed all portions of the exam)

b. Findings

No findings of significance were identified.

111R19 Post-Maintenance Testing (71111.19)

a. Inspection Scope

(8 samples)

The inspectors reviewed eight samples of post-maintenance tests (PMT) during this inspection period. The inspectors reviewed these activities to determine whether the PMT adequately demonstrated that the safety-related function of the equipment was satisfied, given the scope of the work performed, and that operability of the system was restored. In addition, the inspectors evaluated the applicable test acceptance criteria to verify consistency with the associated design and licensing bases, as well as TS requirements.

The inspectors also evaluated whether conditions adverse to quality were entered into the corrective action program for resolution. Documents reviewed during the inspection are listed in the Attachment. The following maintenance activities and their post-maintenance tests were evaluated:

RADIATION SAFETY

Cornerstone:

Occupational Radiation Safety

2OS3 Radiation Monitoring Instrumentation and Protective Equipment (71121.03)

a. Inspection Scope

(9 samples)

During the period October 15-18, 2007, the inspector conducted the following activities to evaluate the operability and accuracy of radiation monito ring instrument ation, and the adequacy of the respiratory protection program relative to maintaining and issuing self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA). Implementation of these programs was reviewed against the criteria contained in 10 CFR 20, "Standards for Protection Against Radiation;" applicable industry standards; and Pilgrim procedures.

The inspector reviewed the UFSAR to identify area, process, and emergency monitors that are installed at Pilgrim for the protection of workers. The inspectors reviewed the current calibration records for selected instrumentation, including the Turbine Building Radwaste Sump Area monitor (1815-8C), the Reactor Building 23' South East Access Area monitor (1815-2D), and the Reactor Building Outside Traversing In-Core Probe Room monitor (1815-2B).

The inspector selected hand-held radiation instruments, air monitors, contamination monitors, and electronic dosimeters currently in use in the plant, and reviewed the 13calibration records for this instrumentation. Included in this review were the calibration records for selected electronic dosimeters (DMC-2000), radiation survey instruments (RO-2, RO-2A, RO-20, Wide Range Telepole), contamination survey instruments (RM-14, MD-12, SAM-9), count room scalers (BC-4, SAC-4), and air samplers (H809V, Victoreen Lapel Sampler).

The inspector reviewed the maintenance records, safety interlock checks, and current calibration source activity/dose rate determinations for the Shepard Model 78, Shepard Model 423, and Model 773 instrument calibrators.

The inspector evaluated the licensee's program for assuring quality in the radiation monitoring instrumentation and respiratory protection programs by reviewing 16 CRs related to radiation instrumentation, SCBA's, and the monitoring of plant radiation levels to determine if problems were identified in a timely manner and appropriate corrective actions were taken to resolve the related issues.

There were no incidents of personnel internal exposure resulting in a Committed Effective Dose Equivalent > 50 mrem that would require an in-depth evaluation of whole body counting instrumentation and bioassay techniques.

The inspector reviewed actions for radiation worker and radiation protection technician errors to determine whether the corrective actions were adequate to prevent recurrence.

The inspector verified calibration due dates and observed a technician performing source checks on a variety of instruments including portable radiation survey instruments (RO-2, Wide Range Telepole), contamination survey instruments (RM-14s, SAM 9), count room scalers (BC-4), and personal contamination monitors (PPM-1, PM-7).

The inspector reviewed surveillance records for ten SCBAs staged for use in the control room, Radiological Controlled Area access location, and the fire brigade equipment staging area in the fire service pump building. The inspector observed a technician perform an inspection of six of the ten units staged for use. The inspector observed a technician fill two SCBA air bottles from the air compressor unit. The sample results for breathing air, used to refill the SCBA tanks, were reviewed to confirm that air quality met CGA-G-7.1-2004 Grade D standards.

The inspector evaluated the adequacy of the respiratory protection program regarding the issuance of SCBAs to workers. Training and qualification records for licensed operators, radiation protection technicians, and fire brigade members required to wear SCBA's, in the event of an emergency, were reviewed.

b. Findings

No findings of significance were identified.

142PS3 Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program and Radioactive Material Control Program (71122.03)

a. Inspection Scope

(1 sample)

During the period October 15-18, 2007, the inspector conducted the following activity to determine whether the licensee's surveys and controls are adequate to prevent the inadvertent release of licensed materials into the public domain. Implementation of these controls was reviewed against the criteria contained in 10 CFR 20, "Standards for Protection Against Radiation;" TS; and Entergy procedures. This inspection activity represents completion of one sample relative to this inspection area.

The inspector observed the radioactive material survey and release locations. The methods used for control, survey, and release were inspected and included observations of the performance of personnel surveying and releasing material for unrestricted use and verifying that the work is performed in accordance with plant procedures.

b. Findings

No findings of significance were identified.

OTHER ACTIVITIES

[OA]

4OA1 Performance Indicator (PI)

.1 Mitigating System Cornerstone

a. Inspection Scope

(2 samples)

The inspectors sampled data for the Mitigating System Performance Index PIs for the EDGs and cooling water systems (Salt Service Water and RBCCW) for the 4th quarter 2006 and 1st, 2nd and 3rd quarter 2007 to assess the completeness and accuracy of the reported information. The inspectors reviewed operator logs, CRs, maintenance rule documents, maintenance records, Licensee Event Reports (LERs), system health reports, and plant process computer information. The acceptance criteria used for the review were Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI) 99-02, Revision 5, "Regulatory Assessment Performance Indicator Guidelines."

b. Findings

No findings of significance were identified.

.2 Physical Protection Cornerstone

a. Inspection Scope

(3 samples)

The inspectors performed a review of PI data submitted by the licensee for the Physical Protection Cornerstone. The review was conducted of the licensee

=s programs for gathering, processing, evaluating, and submitting data for the Fitness-for-Duty, Personnel 15Screening, and Protected Area Security Equipment PIs. The inspectors determined whether the PIs had been properly reported as specified in NEI 99-02. The review included the licensee

=s tracking and trending reports, personnel interviews, and security event reports for the PI data collected since the last security baseline inspection. The inspector noted from the licensee

=s submittal that there were no reported failures to properly implement the requirements of 10 CFR 73, "Physical Protection of Plants and Materials," and 10 CFR 26, "Fitness for Duty Programs," during the reporting period. This inspection activity represents the completion of three samples relative to this inspection area; completing the annual inspection requirement.

b. Findings

No findings of significance were identified.

4OA2 Identification and Resolution of Problems

.1 Review of Items Entered into the Corrective Action Program (CAP)

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors performed a screening of each item entered into the licensee's CAP. This review was accomplished by reviewing printouts of each CR, attending daily screening meetings and/or accessing the licensee's database. The purpose of this review was to identify conditions such as repetitive equipment failures or human performance issues that might warrant additional follow-up.

b. Findings

No findings of significance were identified.

.2 Semi-Annual Review to Identify Trends

a. Inspection Scope

(1 sample)

As required by Inspection Procedure 71152, "Identification and Resolution of Problems,"

the inspectors performed a review of Entergy

=s CAP and associated documents to identify trends that could indicate the existence of a more significant safety issue. The inspectors review was focused on repetitive equipment and corrective maintenance issues but also considered the results of daily inspector CAP item screening discussed in Section 4OA2.1. The review also included issues documented in CAP trend reports and site CAP performance indicator data. The inspectors review considered the six month period of June through December, 2007, although the inspectors also evaluated the trend review results discussed in NRC IR 05000293/2007003, which reviewed CRs from October 2006 through May 2007. Documents reviewed during the inspection are listed in the

.

16b. Assessment and Observations No findings of significance were identified. The inspectors noted a number of plant equipment configuration control issues discussed in the third quarter 2007 Pilgrim Station Quarterly Trend Report, including:

$ CR-PNP-2007-00303, PS-CKVS-B (Crankcase Pressure Switch A B@ Diesel) not valved in correctly;

$ CR-PNP-2007-01446, RCIC check valve 1301-CK-50 initial position found open instead of closed;

$ CR-PNP-2007-02383, Breaker B1446 (EDG A B@ Diesel Oil Transfer Pump) found A OFF,@ normal position is A ON;@ $ CR-PNP-2007-02468, Isolation valve found closed on Reactor Pressure Transmitter;

$ CR-PNP-2007-02476, Spare breaker found closed when it was expected to be open; and

$ CR-PNP-2007-02651, EDG failed to start (likely due to fuel rack and governor left in full fuel position).

The report concluded that the number of issues Adoes not exhibit an adverse or emerging trend,@ but that Operations Management considers the number of Amispositionings

@ to be at an unacceptable level. The inspectors also considered the number of issues discussed in the report to be at an unacceptable level, however, the inspectors also concluded that these issues represent a low level trend in the area of configuration control. The inspectors have discussed this trend with licensee management and will continue to monitor configuration control issues at Pilgrim during this assessment period.

.3 Annual Sample: Review of Outage CRs

a. Inspection Scope

(1 sample)

The inspectors reviewed a sample of CRs from Pilgrim's 2007 refueling outage to determine whether CRs initiated during the outage were processed and closed in accordance with Pilgrim procedures. The inspectors reviewed two Apparent Cause Evaluations conducted by Pilgrim. The inspectors evaluated whether corrective actions taken by Pilgrim addressed each CR as well as the overall process. Documents reviewed are listed in the Attachment.

b. Assessment and Observations No findings of significance were identified. The inspectors determined that there were many instances where the condition review group (CRG) closed a lower level (Category D) CR to "supervisory oversight." Managers would perform follow-up and close the CR with a general statement such as "Corrective actions for the CR were reviewed by the responsible manager. Upon the manager's recommendation, this CR is being closed."

This practice resulted in a condition where corrective actions for a particular issue could not be tracked or demonstrated. Pilgrim has since discontinued this practice as an acceptable closure strategy for Category D CRs.

17.4 Annual Sample: Review of Motor Operated Valve (MOV) Hydraulic Lock

a. Inspection Scope

(1 sample)

The inspectors selected CR-PNP-2006-04328 for detailed review. The CR was written to determine the cause of a safety-related MOV failure in the RHR system during routine surveillance testing. The inspectors reviewed the licensee's root cause analysis, corrective actions, and the prioritization of the corrective actions.

b. Assessment and Observations No findings of significance were identified. The inspectors determined that the licensee performed a thorough root cause analysis and took timely corrective actions to prevent recurrence. The root cause was determined to be hydraulic locking of the MOV actuator due to grease found inside of the spring package. The grease prevented the spring package from compressing which in turn prevented the thermal overloads from tripping.

The tripping of the thermal overloads stops the motor and provides the indication that the valve is closed.

The root cause analysis determined that newer MOVs in the plant were not susceptible to hydraulic lock because the valves have an internal grease relief path from the spring package to the actuator housing. However, most MOVs at Pilgrim did not have the internal grease relief path. Immediate corrective actions included looking inside the spring package of all safety-related MOVs for grease. Long term corrective actions for this issue included a design modification to provide an external grease relief path from the spring package back to the actuator housing. All of the high priority valves have been modified. The last low priority valve to receive this modification is scheduled to be performed in the next refueling outage. The inspectors determined that the prioritization of the corrective actions was appropriate.

.5 Annual Sample: Follow-up Review of Component Design Bases Inspection (CDBI)

Finding Regardi ng the Inadequate Operability Determination for the HPCI Turbine Trip Solenoid Failure

a. Inspection Scope

(1 sample)

The inspectors reviewed the corrective actions for a finding identified during the CDBI and documented in inspection report number 05000293/2006006. The finding was associated with Entergy

=s failure to declare the HPCI system inoperable due to a HPCI turbine trip solenoid failure. The inspectors reviewed CR-PNP-2006-01460 to determine whether the corrective actions were appropriate and completed. As part of this review, the inspectors examined various safety system operating procedure changes to assess their adequacy.

The documents reviewed are listed in the Attachment to this report.

b. Assessment and Observations

No findings of significance were identified. Entergy

=s initial failure to declare HPCI inoperable was due to licensing and operations department management focusing on the ability of the HPCI system to perform its accident analysis function versus a discussion of 18the HPCI system TS requirements. The fo cus did not address the ability of the HPCI system to automatically trip on high water level in the reactor vessel, as described in TS 3.2.B, "Protective Instrumentation Core and Containment Cooling Systems - Initiation and Control." As a result, the HPCI system should have been considered inoperable regardless of the ability of the system to perform its accident analysis function.

The inspectors determined that the licensee

=s corrective actions were appropriate. Entergy determined the failure to declare HPCI inoperable was due to a lack of independence of the operations department and licensi ng departments in reviewing operability determinations. The inspectors noted that Entergy immediately implemented operations department training regarding independent review of emerging TS issues. Also, Entergy revised safety system operating procedures to include a section on TS instrumentation requirements.

4OA3 Event Follow-up

.1 Infrequently Performed Evolution: MG Set Power Transfer

a. Inspection Scope

(1 sample)

On October 3, 2007, Pilgrim operators performed a planned manual transfer of vital alternating current (AC) power from its normal power source, the vital MG set, to its alternate power source, bus B15, with the plant at power. This infrequently performed evolution was conducted to remove the vital MG set from service for repairs. The evolution posed several challenges to Pilgrim operators because the transfer of the vital AC power from its normal to its alternate source would cause a momentary interruption in vital AC power. Similar evolutions in the past had resulted in complications such as the receipt of reactor building isolation signals, feed regulating valve position lock ups, and recirculation pump scoop tube position lock ups. Entergy developed a new procedure for this evolution, Procedure 2.2.16, Attachment 8, "A Manual Transfer of Y2 to Motor Control Center (MCC)

B15 with the Units On-line." The procedure established several compensatory measures to mitigate the effects of a component malfunction or unexpected response. For instance, operators were briefed on Procedure 2.4.49, Section 4.4, "A Manual Lockup of Feed Regulating Valve(s) from the Condenser Bay," and were stationed outside the condenser bay to take manual control of the valves if needed. Additionally, operators inserted a reactor building isolation signal before the vital power transfer, to prevent the signal from coming in during the transfer. The inspectors reviewed the procedure and observed the evolution from the control room to assess operator actions, command and control, and the adequacy of communications within the control room and between the control room and the field.

b. Findings

No findings of significance were identified.

19.2 LER Review and Closeout (1 sample)

(Closed) LER 05000293/2007-005-00, Reactor Scram Resulting from Low Vacuum Turbine Trip

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors reviewed Entergy

=s actions associated with LER 50-293/2007-05-00, which discussed the July 10, 2007, low vacuum turbine trip and automatic reactor scram event. The inspectors reviewed the licensee

=s LER and associated root cause evaluation. Additionally, the inspectors verified that follow-up actions, taken or planned, were appropriate to address the event. This LER is closed.

b. Findings

Introduction:

A Green self-revealing finding was identified for Entergy

=s failure to ensure the proper verification and calibration of vacuum trip switch VTS-1 during refueling outage (RFO) 16. Specifically, personnel did not ensure that the proper verification/calibration technique was employed to determine the as-found low condenser vacuum turbine trip setpoint. Additionally, when the technician identified that the as-found data was significantly outside of historical as-found values, he did not question the validity of the data nor did he obtain a peer check. The technician then calibrated the instrument using the incorrect as-found data which resulted in an incorrect low vacuum trip setpoint and a subsequent turbine trip and reactor scram on July 10, 2007.

Description:

On July 10, 2007, an unplanned automatic reactor scram occurred while performing condenser thermal backwashes at approximately 48 percent power. The reactor protection system (RPS) scram signal was initiated by the trip of the main turbine on low condenser vacuum. Pilgrim operators stabilized t he plant in a shutdown condition and made a four-hour notification to the NRC. Post scram review of the as-found setpoint for vacuum trip switch, VTS-1, revealed that the trip setpoint was set to actuate at 24.35

@ Hg rather than the expected 21.95

@ B 22.45@ Hg. Entergy recalibrated the vacuum switch and restored the plant to 100 percent power on July 16, 2007.

Entergy conducted a root cause evaluation of the unplanned scram and summarized their results in LER 2007-005-00, "Reactor Scram Resulting from Low Vacuum Turbine Trip."

Entergy determined that the root cause of the event was that the technician who had calibrated the VTS-1 switch during RFO 16 had not properly implemented human performance tools (e.g., training) for this particular type of large volume instrument to ensure a proper calibration. Specifically, since the bellows for VTS-1 are very large, the vacuum must be decreased slowly during the calibration in order for an accurate setpoint to be obtained. While obtaining the as-found setpoint, the technician did not decrease the vacuum slowly which resulted in faulty as-found results. Additionally, when the as-found data suggested that the vacuum switch was considerably outside of historical results, the technician did not question the validity of the data nor did he obtain a peer check. The technician then made adjustments to the instrument using the incorrect as-found data.

20Entergy=s root cause report also discussed several weaknesses with Procedure 8.F.51, ATurbine Generator and Auxiliary Instruments Calibration.

@ Specifically, the root cause report noted that Aadditional details in the procedure would provide an additional barrier to ensure the proper calibration technique is achieved.

@ However, the inspectors noted that Entergy had not identified these procedural weaknesses as a contributing cause to this event. The inspectors concluded that the lack of procedural specificity and guidance contributed to the improper calibration of VTS-1. Entergy

=s corrective actions for this aspect included adding steps to the procedure to decrease the vacuum at a slower rate, to include detailed guidance on the adjustments of the trip and span of the vacuum trip assembly, and to require supervisory review of as-found data and testing techniques prior to performing adjustments.

Analysis:

The performance deficiency associated with this finding is that Entergy did not ensure the proper verification and calibration of vacuum trip switch VTS-1 during RFO 16.

The improper setpoint resulted in a low vacuum turbine trip and consequent automatic reactor scram on July 10, 2007.

This finding is more than minor because it is associated with the human performance attribute of the Initiating Events Cornerstone and affects the

cornerstone objective of limiting the likelihood of those events that upset plant stability during power operations. The inspectors conducted a Phase 1 screening in accordance with IMC 0609, "Significance Determination Process," Appendix A, "Reactor Inspection Findings for At-Power Situations." The finding was determined to be of very low safety significance (Green) because it did not contribute to both the likelihood of a reactor trip and the likelihood that mitigation equipment would be unavailable. This finding has a cross-cutting aspect in the area of Human Performance, Work Practices, because Entergy proceeded in the face of uncertainty or unexpected circumstances by continuing with the calibration procedure even though the vacuum trip switch setpoint was found significantly outside of historical as-found values. H.4(a)

Enforcement:

Enforcement action does not apply because the performance deficiency did not involve a violation of a regulatory requirement in that the vacuum trip switch is not a safety-related component. Entergy has entered this issue into their corrective action program as CR-PNP-2007-3231. Corrective actions included recalibrating VTS-1 before the plant restart, providing remedial training for the technician who had conducted the improper calibration, and adding vacuum switch fundamentals as a continuing training topic for the instrumentation and controls (I&C) technicians. Additional corrective actions planned by Entergy include revising Procedure 8.F.51 to include more detailed guidance and to require a supervisory review of as-found data prior to performing adjustments; conducting just-in-time training prior to the RFO 17 vacuum trip switch setpoint verification and calibration; and identifying and revising other I&C procedures involving critical calibrations. Because this violation does not involve a violation of regulatory requirements and has a very low safety significance, it is identified as FIN 05000293/2007005-01, Improper Calibration of Vacuum Trip Switch Results in an Automatic Reactor Scram.
