In July of 2008, the inspectors performed a complete system alignment inspection of the Unit 2 safety injection system to verify the functional capability of the system. This system was selected because it was considered both safety-significant and risk-significant in the licensee's probabilistic risk assessment. The inspectors walked down the system to review mechanical and electrical equipment line ups, electrical power availability, component labeling, component lubrication, component and equipment cooling, hangers and supports, operability of support systems, and to ensure that ancillary equipment or debris did not interfere with equipment operation. A review of a sample of past and outstanding work orders was performed to determine whether any deficiencies significantly affected the system function. In addition, the inspectors reviewed the corrective action program database to ensure that system equipment alignment problems were being identified and appropriately resolved. Documents reviewed are listed in the Attachment. These activities constituted one complete system walkdown sample as defined in Inspection Procedure 71111.04-05.

4 Enclosure The inspectors reviewed areas to assess if the licensee had implemented a fire protection program that adequately controlled combustibles and ignition sources within the plant, effectively maintained fire detection and suppression capability, and maintained passive fire protection features in good material condition. The inspectors selected fire areas based on their potential to impact equipment which could initiate or mitigate a plant transient, or their impact on the plant's ability to respond to a security event. The inspectors verified that fire hoses and extinguishers were in their designated locations and available for immediate use; that fire detectors and sprinklers were unobstructed, that transient material loading was within the analyzed limits; and fire doors, dampers, and penetration seals appeared to be in satisfactory condition. The inspectors also verified that fire protection problems were entered into the licensee's corrective action program with the appropriate characterization. Documents reviewed are listed in the Attachment. These activities constitute six quarterly fire protection inspection samples as defined in Inspection Procedure 71111.05-05.

The inspectors evaluated the licensee's implementation of their process used to identify, document, track, and resolve operational challenges. Inspection activities included, but were not limited to, a review of the cumulative effects of the OWAs on system availability and the potential for improper operation of the system, for potential impacts on multiple systems, and on the ability of operators to respond to plant transients or accidents. The inspectors reviewed operator burden reports, which included OWAs, operator challenges, and control room deficiencies, to determine whether the licensee was identifying operator burdens at an appropriate threshold, had entered them into their corrective action program, and proposed or implemented appropriate and timely corrective actions which addressed each issue. Reviews were conducted to determine if any operator burden could increase the possibility of an Initiating Event, if the burden was contrary to training, required a change from long-standing operational practices, or created the potential for inappropriate compensatory actions. Additionally, all temporary modifications were reviewed to identify any potential effect on the functionality of Mitigating Systems, impaired access to equipment, or required equipment uses for which the equipment was not designed. Daily plant logs and contingency/compensatory actions' logs were also assessed to identify any potential sources of unidentified operator workarounds. The above constitutes completion of one operator workarounds annual inspection sample as defined in IP 71152-05.

SUMMARY OF FINDINGS

IR 05000315/2008004; 05000316/2008004; 07/01/2008 - 09/30/2008; D.C. Cook Nuclear Power Plant, Units 1 & 2; Routine Integrated Inspection Report. This report covers a three-month period of inspection by resident inspectors and announced baseline inspections by regional inspectors. The NRC's program for overseeing the safe operation of commercial nuclear power reactors is described in NUREG-1649, "Reactor

Oversight Process," Revision 4, dated December 2006.

A. NRC-Identified

and Self-Revealed Findings

===Cornerstone: Initiating Events No violations of significance were identified.

B. Licensee-Identified Violations

=

One violation of very low safety significance was identified by the licensee and has been reviewed by inspectors. Corrective actions planned or taken by the licensee have been entered into the licensee's corrective action program. This violation and corrective action tracking numbers are listed in Section 4OA7 of this report.

REPORT DETAILS

Summary of Plant Status Unit 1 operated at or near full power during the inspection period until September 20, 2008, when operators manually tripped the unit due to high vibrations on the main turbine and a resultant fire in the main generator. Unit 1 entered Mode 5, Cold Shutdown, on September 22, 2008, and remained in that condition through the end of the inspection period. Unit 2 operated at or near full power during the inspection period with one exception. On August 16, 2008, Unit 2 entered Mode 2 (Startup) when operators reduced power to 9 percent and tripped the main turbine for planned maintenance on the non-safety-related main turbine control valves. On August 17, operators manually tripped the reactor and the Unit entered Mode 3 (Hot Standby) to facilitate expanded maintenance activities on the main turbine control valves and associated control system. Following the maintenance, operators returned the Unit to full power and synchronized the main generator to the grid on August 21,

1R04 Equipment Alignment

.1 Quarterly Partial System Walkdowns

a. Inspection Scope

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

  • Unit 1 and Unit 2 Fire Protection Ring Header And Electric Driven Fire Pump The inspectors selected these systems based on their risk significance relative to the reactor safety cornerstones at the time they were inspected. The inspectors attempted to identify any discrepancies that could impact the function of the system and therefore, potentially increase risk. The inspectors reviewed applicable operating procedures, system diagrams, Updated Final Safety Analysis Report (UFSAR), Technical Specification (TS) requirements, outstanding work orders, action requests, and the impact of ongoing work activities on redundant trains of equipment in order to identify conditions that could have rendered the systems incapable of performing their intended functions. The inspectors also walked down accessible portions of the systems to verify system components and support equipment were aligned correctly and operable. The inspectors examined the material condition of the components and observed operating parameters of equipment to verify that there were no obvious deficiencies. The inspectors also verified that the licensee had properly identified and resolved equipment alignment problems that could cause initiating events or impact the capability of mitigating systems or barriers and entered them into the corrective action program with the appropriate significance characterization. Documents reviewed are listed in the

.

3 Enclosure These activities constituted three partial system walkdown samples as defined in Inspection Procedure

71111.04 - 05.

b. Findings

.2 Semi-Annual Complete System Walkdown

a. Inspection Scope

In July of 2008, the inspectors performed a complete system alignment inspection of the Unit 2 safety injection system to verify the functional capability of the system. This system was selected because it was considered both safety-significant and risk-significant in the licensee's probabilistic risk assessment. The inspectors walked down the system to review mechanical and electrical equipment line ups, electrical power availability, component labeling, component lubrication, component and equipment cooling, hangers and supports, operability of support systems, and to ensure that ancillary equipment or debris did not interfere with equipment operation. A review of a sample of past and outstanding work orders was performed to determine whether any deficiencies significantly affected the system function. In addition, the inspectors reviewed the corrective action program database to ensure that system equipment alignment problems were being identified and appropriately resolved. Documents reviewed are listed in the Attachment. These activities constituted one complete system walkdown sample as defined in Inspection Procedure

71111.04 - 05.

.4 Annual Sample:

Review of Operator Workarounds (OWAs)

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors evaluated the licensee's implementation of their process used to identify, document, track, and resolve operational challenges. Inspection activities included, but were not limited to, a review of the cumulative effects of the OWAs on system availability and the potential for improper operation of the system, for potential impacts on multiple systems, and on the ability of operators to respond to plant transients or accidents. The inspectors reviewed operator burden reports, which included OWAs, operator challenges, and control room deficiencies, to determine whether the licensee was identifying operator burdens at an appropriate threshold, had entered them into their corrective action program, and proposed or implemented appropriate and timely corrective actions which addressed each issue. Reviews were conducted to determine if any operator burden could increase the possibility of an Initiating Event, if the burden was contrary to training, required a change from long-standing operational practices, or created the potential for inappropriate compensatory actions. Additionally, all temporary modifications were reviewed to identify any potential effect on the functionality of Mitigating Systems, impaired access to equipment, or required equipment uses for which the equipment was not designed. Daily plant logs and contingency/compensatory actions' logs were also assessed to identify any potential sources of unidentified operator workarounds.

.2 (Closed) Licensee Event Report (LER) 315/2008-004-00: Non-Isolable Reactor Coolant System Pressure Boundary Leak

On April 25, 2008, the licensee identified a non-isolable RCS pressure boundary leak on a 3/4 inch instrument line. Specifically, during heat up and pressurization of Unit 1 RCS while in Mode 4 at the end of a refueling outage, and with RCS pressure at 1000 psig, licensee personnel performed a containment walkdown to ensure that there was no RCS leakage. During the walkdown, licensee personnel identified a leak on a 3/4 instrument line upstream of 1-NFP-222-V2 isolation valve for the RCS flow elbow tap. Licensee personnel observed steam coming out from a socket weld between the RCS piping and the instrument isolation valve. Based on the leak location, the licensee determined the leak to be non-isolable RCS Pressure Boundary Leakage. Limiting Condition for Operation (LCO) 3.4.13 limits the RCS to no pressure boundary leakage for a thru wall leak, and is applicable in Modes 1,2, 3, and 4. To comply with the LCO action statements, operators cooled down the unit to Mode 5 (out of the Mode of Applicability) thereby satisfying LCO Action D for Pressure Boundary Leakage. Based on visual inspection of the failed socket weld, the location of the defect, the configuration of the piping, and the piping material (stainless steel), the licensee performed a comprehensive analysis of the weld failure modes and determined that the apparent cause for the failure was vibratory fatigue. The failure modes considered in the evaluation included faulty weld, primary water stress corrosion cracking, intergranular stress corrosion cracking, high cycle vibratory fatigue, low cycle fatigue, and design inadequacy. The applicable code requirement to repair this defect was IWA-4000 of the ASME Code 1989 Edition. Compliance with this code requirement would have necessitated removal of the defective weld and replacement of the weld and/or piping. However, the weld and piping was not isolable from the reactor vessel. Because the defect was below the elevation of the bottom of the reactor vessel nozzles, repair of the defect in accordance with the IWA-4000 code requirement would have required draining the reactor vessel to the bottom of the reactor vessel nozzles, and all of the activities associated with that, including removal of the concrete missile shield blocks, removal of the reactor vessel head, and defueling the core. The licensee considered that these activities would have caused significant delay in returning the unit to operation, resulting in hardship and unusual difficulty. Therefore, the licensee proposed to use an alternative method to repair the leaking weld and applied for a Relief Request from the Code of Record, IWA-4000 of the ASME Code 1989 Edition. The proposed alternative repair method was the application of a weld overlay in accordance with ASME Code Case N-666, Weld Overlay of Class 1, 2, and 3 Socket Welded Connections,Section XI, Division 1. The licensee stated that the use of this Code Case would have restored the structural integrity of the leaking socket weld by deposition of weld overlay on the outside surface of the pipe and weld. The licensee also stated that they would not take any exceptions to the code case requirements. Use of Code Case N-666 for the repair was verbally approved by the Nuclear Regulatory 19 Enclosure Commission on April 26, 2008. The formal approval of the Relief Request was provided to the licensee by NRC Safety Evaluation Report dated June 26, 2008. The inspectors reviewed the licensee's analysis of leaking socket weld, work orders under which the repair was performed, procedures covering visual examination, visual weld and brazing examination, liquid penetrant examination, and the requirements of Code Case N-666. The inspectors also reviewed the vibration test and dimensional checks performed on the completed weld overlay, and verified that the results were within the acceptance criteria of ASME-OMb-S/G-2002, Part 3 and the requirements of Code Case N-666 respectively. The inspectors did not identify any findings and determined that the licensee performed the repair on the leaking socket weld in full compliance with the requirements of Code Case N-666.

.3 (Closed) LER 05000315/2008-005-00, Containment Isolation Valve Out of Position

Unit 1 TS 3.6.3, Containment Isolation Valves, required each valve to be operable in Modes 1, 2, 3 and 4. On July 15, 2008, during a monthly surveillance of manual containment isolation valves outside containment with Unit 1 in Mode 1, licensee personnel identified that drain valve 1-NSW-426-1 on the Non-Essential Service Water System (NESW) was sealed partially open and capped instead of sealed closed and capped, as required. Consequently, the valve was inoperable and licensee personnel entered Technical Specification 3.6.3 Condition A regarding one or more penetration flow paths with one containment isolation valve inoperable. The licensee subsequently closed the valve to satisfy the required action to isolate the affected penetration flow path within 4 hours4.62963e-5 days <br />0.00111 hours <br />6.613757e-6 weeks <br />1.522e-6 months <br /> and to restore the valve to an operable condition. Licensee personnel evaluated the event, as documented in AR 00834856, and determined that the valve was mispositioned during system restoration on April 23, 2008, with Unit 1 in Mode 5 near the end of the Unit 1 refueling outage. After the refueling outage, Unit 1 ascended from Mode 5 to Mode 4 on April 27. Consequently the valve was inoperable from April 27, 2008, until July 15, 2008. However, with the valve partially open and capped, and the NESW system pressure at approximately 80 psig, there was no leakage from the valve and cap. During a Design Basis Accident (DBA), containment pressure is expected to be less than or equal to 12 psig, which is relatively low compared to the NESW system normal operating pressure.

Therefore, there was reasonable assurance that there would be no leakage from the containment through this path during a DBA. Licensee personnel concluded that this event was caused by non-licensed operators failing to perform adequate human performance self-checking techniques when the valve was initially positioned and independently verified on April 23, 2008. Specifically, the operator who initially closed the valve rotated the handwheel in the closed direction until valve movement stopped. The operator who independently verified the valve position physically checked the valve in the closed direction and the valve did not close any further. However, neither operator used other valve position verification techniques, 20 Enclosure such as stem position, and failed to notice that the valve stem was extended approximately one-half inch higher than it would be if the valve were fully closed. A contributing cause was that the valve was difficult to operate, requiring a valve wrench to fully close the valve. After the valve stem position was questioned during the monthly surveillance on July 15, 2008, a valve wrench was used to check the valve position and the valve handwheel was turned an additional five turns to fully close the valve. The cause for failing to identify the mispositioned valve during subsequent monthly surveillances was a failure by non-licensed operators to maintain an adequate questioning attitude regarding the valve stem position. A contributing cause was that plant procedures lacked consistent specific guidance for verifying the position of sealed valves. Also, the monthly surveillance only required the operators to verify that the valve seal was intact. Planned corrective actions were to provide interactive training to non-licensed operators to address verification techniques, self-checking attributes, mindset, complacency and questioning attitude. In addition Work Order 55324235 was generated to repair the valve. Other corrective actions included verifying that all other containment isolation manual valves outside containment were correctly positioned; revising plant procedures to provide consistent specific guidance for performing position checks of sealed components; and revising the containment isolation surveillance procedure to include references to the procedures that provide specific guidance for performing position checks of sealed or locked components. The inspectors concluded that the corrective actions were reasonable.

The licensee reported this as a condition prohibited by the plant's TS in accordance with 10 CFR 50.73(a)(2)(i)(B). The enforcement aspects of this licensee-identified violation of TS 3.6.3 are discussed in Section

4OA7 of this report.

No further findings were identified. This LER is closed. This inspection constitutes one sample as defined in Inspection Procedure 71153-05.

4OA5 Other Activities

.1 Reactor Coolant System Dissimilar Metal Butt Welds (TI 2515/172, Revision 0)

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors conducted a review of the licensee's activities regarding licensee dissimilar metal butt weld (DMBW) mitigation and inspection implemented in accordance with the industry self-imposed mandatory requirements of Materials Reliability Program (MRP)-139, "Primary System Piping Butt Weld Inspection and Evaluation Guidelines."

Temporary Instruction (TI) 2515/172, "Reactor Coolant System Dissimilar Metal Butt Welds" was issued to support NRC review and evaluation of the licensees' implementation of MRP-139. From September 15, 2008, through September 18, 2008, the inspectors performed a review for Unit 2 DMBWs in accordance with Sections of TI-172 as described below.

The review for Unit 1 DMBWs had been previously completed (reference IR 05000315/2008003; 05000316/2008003).

21 Enclosure Section 03.01 of TI-172 - Implementation of the Baseline MRP-139 Inspections was previously completed for Unit 1 and Unit 2. Section 03.02 of TI-172 - Evaluation of Volumetric Examinations. The inspectors conducted a review under this Section for Unit 2 to determine if ultrasonic examinations (UTs) were completed in accordance with MRP-139. Because the licensee had not performed UT of unmitigated welds at Unit 2, this aspect of the TI review was not applicable. The inspectors reviewed records of the preservice UT for the weld overlay repair of the Unit 2 pressurizer spray nozzle (2-PRZ-21). This review included:

  • UT data sheets, procedures, procedure qualifications, personnel certifications;
  • UT calibration blocks and equipment;
  • disposition of indications identified during the examinations;
  • NRC relief request; and
  • deficiencies identified in the corrective action program. Section 03.03 of TI-172 - Weld Overlays. The inspectors conducted a review under this Section for Unit 2 to determine if weld overlays were performed consistent with ASME Code requirements and NRC relief requests. The inspectors reviewed records of the weld overlay repairs on weld 2-PRZ-21. This review included:
  • welding procedure specifications, procedure qualifications, welder qualifications;
  • NRC relief request; and
  • deficiencies identified in the corrective action program. Section 03.04 of TI-172 - Mechanical Stress Improvement. This section was completed for Unit 1 and 2. The licensee had not implemented mechanical stress improvement for DMBWs and no plans existed to implement this weld remediation technique. Section 03.05 of TI-172 - Inservice Inspection Program. The inspectors had previously completed this review for Unit 1 and Unit 2. b. Observations Summary: DC Cook Unit 2 is a Westinghouse 4 loop design with DMBW's containing 82/182 material on 6 pressurizer nozzle welds. Unlike Unit 1, the Unit 2 RV nozzle welds are stainless steel material and therefore not within the scope of MRP-139. By the end of 2006, the licensee had completed mitigation for each of the Unit 2 pressurizer nozzle DMBWs by installation of a full structural weld overlay that included an Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) performance demonstration initiative (PDI) qualified UT preservice examination for the required weld volume. For Unit 2, the inspectors concluded that the licensee activities and plans complied with the MRP-139 inspection or mitigation requirements and applicable Code requirements and relief requests. No deviations from MRP-139 requirements were identified for Unit 2. In accordance with requirements of TI 2515/172, Revision 0, the inspectors evaluated and answered the following questions:

Were the baseline inspections of the pressurizer temperature DMBW's of the nine plants listed in 03.01.b completed during the spring 2008 outages? Previously addressed (reference IR 05000315/2008003; 05000316/2008003). 2. Is the licensee planning to take any deviations from the MRP-139 baseline inspection requirements of MRP-139? If so, what deviations are planned, what is the general basis for the deviation, and was the NEI- 03-08 process for filing a deviation followed? No. The inspectors did not identify any deviations from MRP-139 and the licensee had not planned on any deviations from MRP-139 for either Unit.
(2) For each examination inspected, was the activity:

1. Performed in accordance with the examination guidelines in MRP-139, Section 5.1, for unmitigated welds or mechanical stress improvement welds and consistent with NRC staff relief request authorization for weld overlaid welds? Yes. For the Unit 2 pressurizer DMBW overlay repairs the licensee had submitted relief request ISIR-20, which provided alternative examination requirements to the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) Code Section XI, Appendix VIII, Supplement 11, and Appendix Q for these repair welds. The inspectors reviewed the Unit 2 pressurizer spray nozzle post overlay preservice UT records completed in April of 2006. The licensee's contractor used an EPRI PDI qualified procedure 54-ISI-838-06 "Manual Ultrasonic Examination of Weld Overlaid Similar and Dissimilar Metal Welds" to complete these examinations, which was in accordance with the approved relief request. In the examination records, the licensee documented that 100 percent coverage of the required weld overlay and base metal volumes were obtained. The licensee did not perform an EPRI PDI qualified UT on weld 2-PRZ-21 prior to mitigation by weld overlay; therefore this aspect of TI 2515/172 was not applicable. 2. Performed by qualified personnel? (Briefly describe the personnel training/qualification process used by the licensee for this activity.) Yes. The licensee's contractors that performed UT of the weld overlay repair on 2-PRZ-21 were qualified in accordance with the EPRI PDI Program for detection and sizing of flaws in weld overlay repairs.

(3) For each weld overlay inspected, was the activity:

1. Performed in accordance with the ASME Code welding requirements and consistent with NRC staff relief request authorizations? Has the licensee submitted a relief request and obtained NRR staff authorization to install the weld overlays? Yes. For the preemptive weld overlay repairs to the pressurizer DMBWs, the licensee had submitted relief request ISIR-20, which provided alternatives to Code Cases N-504-2 and N-638-1 for the purpose of installing preemptive weld overlays on the pressurizer nozzle-to-safe end dissimilar metal welds. The inspectors confirmed that the licensee had followed relief request ISIR-20 approved by the NRC on March 1, 2007. Specifically, the inspectors reviewed the weld travelers, welding procedure specifications and weld procedure qualification records to confirm that the overlay repair welds were completed in accordance with the ASME Code Section IX and the approved NRC relief request. 2. Performed by qualified personnel? (Briefly describe the personnel training/qualification process used by the licensee for this activity.) Yes. For the weld overlay repair of the pressurizer spray nozzle weld (2-PRZ-21), the inspectors reviewed welder performance qualification records to confirm that the welders used for this overlay repair were qualified in accordance with ASME Section IX. 3. Performed such that deficiencies were identified, dispositioned, and resolved? Yes. The weld related deficiencies identified were dispositioned and resolved in accordance with the welding contractor's nonconformance process.

(4) For each mechanical stress improvement used by the licensee during the outage, was the activity performed in accordance with a documented qualification report for stress improvement processes and in accordance with demonstrated procedures? Specifically
Not applicable. Previously addressed (reference IR 05000315/2008003; 05000316/2008003).
(5) For the Inservice Inspection Program:

On October 15, 2008, the inspectors presented the inspection results to Mr. L. Weber and other members of the licensee staff. The licensee acknowledged the issues presented. The inspectors confirmed that none of the potential report input discussed was considered proprietary.

.2 Interim Exit Meetings

Interim exits were conducted for:

  • The results of the radiation monitoring instrumentation and protective equipment program inspection with Site Vice President, Mr. L. Weber, on August 01, 2008.
  • The results of Temporary Instruction 172 with Site Vice President, Mr. L. Weber on September 18, 2008. The inspectors confirmed that none of the potential report input discussed was considered proprietary.

4OA7 Licensee-Identified Violations

The following violation of very low significance (Green) was identified by the licensee and is a violation of NRC requirements, which meets the criteria of Section VI of the NRC Enforcement Policy, NUREG-1600, for being dispositioned as an NCV. Technical Specification Limiting Condition for Operation (LCO) 3.6.3 requires that each containment isolation valve be operable in Modes 1, 2, 3 and 4 with a required action to isolate the affected penetration within 4 hours4.62963e-5 days <br />0.00111 hours <br />6.613757e-6 weeks <br />1.522e-6 months <br /> for an inoperable valve. Contrary to the above, on July 15, 2008, containment isolation drain valve 1-NSW-426-1 on Unit 1 Non-Essential Service Water System (NESW) was found to be sealed partially open and capped instead of sealed closed and capped as required while the plant was in Mode 1. Subsequent licensee investigation identified that the drain valve was inoperable from April 27, 2008, until it was identified and closed on July 15, 2008, which restored the valve to an operable condition. The licensee entered this violation into its corrective program as AR 00834856. The violation was of very low safety significance because the finding did not represent an actual open pathway in the physical integrity of reactor containment. Specifically, with the drain valve partially open and capped, and the NESW system pressure at approximately 80 psig there was no leakage from the valve and cap. During a Design Basis Accident (DBA), containment pressure is expected to be less than or equal to 12 psig, which is relatively low compared to the NESW system normal operating pressure. Therefore, there was reasonable assurance that there would be no leakage from the containment through this path during a DBA. ATTACHMENT:
