A self-revealing finding was identified after an inadequate main turbinemaintenance procedure resulted in an unplanned load reduction and a reactor shutdown. On August 9, 2007, the Unit 1 generator output decreased by 60MW due to failed main turbine stop valve. Pacific Gas and Electric Company shut down the plant the following day to repair the failed valve. The valve failed because the maintenance personnel did not properly adjust the external travel stop during outage related maintenance. The travel stop was not properly adjusted because the maintenance procedure did not require the maintenance personnel to verify that the disc was properly back seated against the internal stop during adjustment. This issue was entered into Pacific Gas and Electric Company's Corrective Action Program as Non Conformance Report N0002219.The finding is greater than minor because if left uncorrected, the condition wouldbecome a more significant safety concern. Using Inspection Manual Chapter 0609, "Significance Determination Process," Phase 1 Worksheet, the inspectors determined the finding to have very low safety significance because the condition did not contribute to both the likelihood of a reactor trip and the likelihood that mitigation equipment or functions would not be available.

This violation met the criteria of Section VI of the NRC Enforcement Policy, NUREG-1600, for being dispositioned as a noncited violation.*The inspectors reviewed one noncited violation of Technical SpecificationProcedure 5.4.1.a, after PG&E failed to adequately implement a fuel handling procedure. On September 10, 2007, operations personnel began moving the Unit 2 fuel handling bridge while a spent fuel assembly was still attached and partially inserted into the fuel rack. A second operator identified that the fuel assembly was still latched and alerted the bridge operator to stop the bridge prior to damaging the affected fuel assembly. Operating Procedure, "OP B-8H, Spent Fuel Pool Work Instructions," Section 6.2, required the operator to use the load cell to verify that the fuel assemble is disengaged prior to moving the bridge. | -20-4OA7Licensee-Identified ViolationsOne very low safety significance (Green) violation of NRC requirements was identifiedby PG&E.

Contrary to the above, the operator failed to use the load cell and to verify that the fuel assemble was disengaged prior to moving the bridge. | |||
Pacific Gas and Electric determined that plant operations had not established a qualification process or standard for fuel handlers. None of the operations personnel involved, including the fuel handling senior reactor operator, had previously performed fuel handling activities. Contributing to the event was poor communications between the operators and that the supervisor was physically involved in latching the fuel assembly rather than overseeing the work. The inspectors determined that the finding was of very low safety significance because there was no damage to the fuel assembly. This event was documented in PG&E | |||

SUMMARY OF FINDINGS
IR 05000275/2007-004, 05000323/2007-004; 7/1/07 - 9/30/07; Diablo Canyon Power PlantUnits 1; Maintenance Effectiveness. This report covered a 13-week period of inspection by resident inspectors and announcedinspections on emergency preparedness, safety evaluations and heat exchangers. One self-
revealing finding (Green) was identified. The significance of most findings is indicated by theircolor (Green, White, Yellow, or Red) using Inspection Manual Chapter 0609 "Significance Determination Process." Findings for which the Significance Determination Process 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 commercial nuclear power reactors is described in NUREG-1649, "Reactor Oversight Process," Revision 3, dated July 2000.A.
NRC-Identified and Self-Revealing Findings
Cornerstone: Initiating Events
- Green.
A self-revealing finding was identified after an inadequate main turbinemaintenance procedure resulted in an unplanned load reduction and a reactor shutdown. On August 9, 2007, the Unit 1 generator output decreased by 60MW due to failed main turbine stop valve. Pacific Gas and Electric Company shut down the plant the following day to repair the failed valve. The valve failed because the maintenance personnel did not properly adjust the external travel stop during outage related maintenance. The travel stop was not properly adjusted because the maintenance procedure did not require the maintenance personnel to verify that the disc was properly back seated against the internal stop during adjustment. This issue was entered into Pacific Gas and Electric Company's Corrective Action Program as Non Conformance Report N0002219.The finding is greater than minor because if left uncorrected, the condition wouldbecome a more significant safety concern. Using Inspection Manual Chapter 0609, "Significance Determination Process," Phase 1 Worksheet, the inspectors determined the finding to have very low safety significance because the condition did not contribute to both the likelihood of a reactor trip and the likelihood that mitigation equipment or functions would not be available. This finding has a crosscutting aspect in the area of human perfo rmance, associatedwith the resources component because PG&E failed to provide an adequate main turbine maintenance procedure (H.2.c) (Section 1R12).
B.Licensee-Identified Violations
A violation of very low safety significance, which has been identified by Pacific Gas andElectric Company, has been reviewed by the inspectors. Corrective actions taken or planned by Pacific Gas and Electric Company have been entered into their corrective action program. This violation and corrective actions are listed in Section 4OA7 of this report.

REPORT DETAILS
Summary of Plant StatusAt the beginning of the inspection period, Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) wasoperating Diablo Canyon Unit 1 at full power. An unplanned power reduction to 95 percent rated thermal power occurred on August 9, 2007, after a main turbine stop valve disc separated from the swing arm, partially restricting steam flow. On August 10, PG&E shutdown Unit 1 and repaired the stop valve. The licensee restarted the reactor on August 16 and achieved full power on August 19. PG&E operated Unit 1 at full power for the remainder of the inspection period.Pacific Gas and Electric operated Unit 2 at full power for the duration of the inspection period.

The inspectors completed one sample.
b. Findings
Introduction.
The inspectors identified a self-revealing finding after an adequate mainturbine repair procedure resulted in an unplanned power reduction and forced outage of Unit 1.Description. PG&E failed to develop an adequate main turbine maintenance procedureresulting in an unplanned load reduction and a reactor shutdown. On August 9, 2007, plant operators observed that the Unit 1 generator output had decreased by 60MW. On August 11, PG&E shut down the reactor to investigate the cause of the load reduction.
-10-The licensee determined that the load reduction resulted from inlet steam blockage afterthe disc on Turbine Stop Valve FCV-146 uncoupling from the stem. The disc uncoupled because the stem nut assembly failed. The stem nut failed due to the flow induced vibration caused by the failure of the stop valve to properly back-seat during power operations. The stop valve did not properly back-seat because the maintenance personnel failed to properly adjust the external travel stop during the turbine maintenance performed during the June 2004 refueling outage. The inspectors concluded that the travel stop was not properly adjusted because Procedure MP M-4.20, "HP Turbine Stop Valve Maintenance," Revision 12, did not require maintenance personnel to first verify that the disc was properly back seated against the internal stop during adjustment. Procedure ADI.ID1, "Nuclear Generation Procedures," required thatprocedures be written to clearly state any special limits, tolerances and other requirements in the design and licensing bases, vendor manuals and other documents.
Analysis.
The failure of PG&E to develop an adequate procedure for the main turbinestop valve maintenance was a performance deficiency. The inspectors concluded that the finding is greater than minor because less than adequate turbine maintenance procedure, if left uncorrected, would become a more significant safety concern. Using Inspection Manual Chapter 0609, Significance Determination Process,@ Phase 1Worksheet, the inspectors determined the finding to have very low safety significancebecause the condition did not contribute to both the likelihood of a reactor trip and the likelihood that mitigation equipment or functions would not be available. This finding has a crosscutting aspect in the area of human performance, associated with the resourcescomponent because PG&E failed to provide an adequate main turbine maintenance procedure (H.2.c).Enforcement. This issue was entered into the licensee's corrective program as Non-Conformance Report N0002219. No violation of NRC requirements occurred because the turbine maintenance procedure, Procedure MP M-4.20, was neither Technical Specifications (TS) or quality related (FIN 05000275/2007004-01, Inadequate main turbine repair procedure resulted in an unplanned power reduction and forced outage).

.1 (Closed) Unresolved Item 05000275; 05000323/2006005-01:
Additional review ofmaterial to determine if the residual heat removal heat exchangers will meet their safety function.The inspectors had questioned whether PG&E had implemented adequate designcontrol measures to demonstrate that the residual heat removal heat exchangers could perform their design safety function. The inspectors questioned whether the heat exchangers required testing to validate the design calculations and found out that PG&E did not perform the flow verification for each cooler under the Surveillance Test Program. PG&E adjusted the flow through the containment fan cooler units and validated the flow rated for the remaining heat exchangers and coolers by analysis.During the in-office review, the inspectors determined that PG&E:
- (1) had establishedan appropriate method to ensure that the required heat loads supplied by CCW would receive their design basis flow and
- (2) had provided information that the residual heat removal heat exchangers could perform their design basis heat removal function. The inspectors verified that both the reactor coolant system and the closed-loop CCW system had good chemistry controls and had not been contaminated. Consequently,
-19-the inspectors concluded that no additional testing would be required, as described inthe Generic Letter 89-13, Supplement 1, "Service Water System Problems Affecting Safety-Related Equipment."During discussions with design engineering, PG&E agreed that the description in theFSAR Update did not clearly or accurately describe the system operation and response.
PG&E initiated an AR A0704443 to document this deficiency and indicated that they would clarify the description. Documents reviewed by the inspectors are listed in the attachment.
This unresolved item is closed.40A6Meetings, Including ExitExit Meeting SummaryOn July 12, 2007, the inspectors presented the inspection results on emergencypreparedness to Mr. J. Becker, Vice President and Station Director, Diablo Canyon Operations, and other members of his staff, who acknowledged the findings. On July 25, 2007, the inspector conducted a telephonic meeting with Mr. C. Dougherty,Senior Engineer, Regulatory Services, to discuss the final characterization of one inspection issue on emergency preparedness.On September 14, 2007, the inspectors presented the results on Inspection Procedure71111.02, "Evaluations of Changes, Tests, or Experiments," and Inspection Procedure 71111.17, "Permanent Plant Modifications," to Ms. D. Jacobs, Vice President, Nuclear Services, and other members of licensee management. The licensee's management acknowledged the issues and observations presented. On September 18, 2007, the inspectors discussed the results of their additional reviewof the material to determine if the residual heat removal heat exchangers would have met their safety function with Mr. S. Hamilton, Supervisor Regulatory Services. The inspectors returned all proprietary information to PG&E. On October 3, 2007, the resident inspection results were presented to Mr. JohnConway, Site Vice President and other members of PG&E management. PG&E acknowledged the findings presented.In each case, the inspectors asked PG&E whether any materials examined during theinspection should be considered proprietary. Proprietary information was reviewed by the inspectors and left with PG&E at the end of the inspection.
-20-4OA7Licensee-Identified ViolationsOne very low safety significance (Green) violation of NRC requirements was identifiedby PG&E. This violation met the criteria of Section VI of the NRC Enforcement Policy, NUREG-1600, for being dispositioned as a noncited violation.
- The inspectors reviewed one noncited violation of Technical SpecificationProcedure 5.4.1.a, after PG&E failed to adequately implement a fuel handling procedure. On September 10, 2007, operations personnel began moving the Unit 2 fuel handling bridge while a spent fuel assembly was still attached and partially inserted into the fuel rack. A second operator identified that the fuel assembly was still latched and alerted the bridge operator to stop the bridge prior to damaging the affected fuel assembly. Operating Procedure, "OP B-8H, Spent Fuel Pool Work Instructions," Section 6.2, required the operator to use the load cell to verify that the fuel assemble is disengaged prior to moving the bridge.
Contrary to the above, the operator failed to use the load cell and to verify that the fuel assemble was disengaged prior to moving the bridge.
Pacific Gas and Electric determined that plant operations had not established a qualification process or standard for fuel handlers. None of the operations personnel involved, including the fuel handling senior reactor operator, had previously performed fuel handling activities. Contributing to the event was poor communications between the operators and that the supervisor was physically involved in latching the fuel assembly rather than overseeing the work. The inspectors determined that the finding was of very low safety significance because there was no damage to the fuel assembly. This event was documented in PG&E
