On March 31, 2006, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed an inspectionat your Catawba Nuclear Station Units 1 and 2. The enclosed inspection report documents theinspection results, which were discussed on April 12, 2006, with you and other members of yourstaff.The inspection examined activities conducted under your license as they relate to safety andcompliance with the Commission's rules and regulations and with the conditions of your license. The inspectors reviewed selected procedures and records, observed activities, and interviewedpersonnel.This report documents two NRC-identified findings of very low safety significance (Green) whichwere determined to be violations of NRC requirements. However, because of their very lowsafety significance and because these violations were entered into your corrective actionprogram, the NRC is treating these violations as non-cited violations (NCVs) consistent withSection VI.A.1 of the NRC Enforcement Policy. If you contest any NCV in this report, youshould provide a response within 30 days of the date of this inspection report, with the basis foryour denial, to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, ATTN: Document Control Desk,Washington, DC, 20555-0001; with copies to the Regional Administrator Region II; the Director,Office of Enforcement, United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC,20555-0001; and the NRC Resident Inspector at the Catawba Nuclear Station.In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 of the NRC's "Rules of Practice," a copy of this letter and itsenclosure will be available electronically for public inspection in the NRC Public Document DEC2Room or from the Publicly Available Records (PARS) component of NRC's document system(ADAMS).

Speci fically, the licensee derated the time requirement for 43 battery p owered emergenc y lightin g units (ELUs) from 8 hours to 1.5 ho urs. The evaluati on for this change was not ad equate to ensure th at derating the E LUs woul d not adversely affect the ability to achiev e and maintai n safe shutdow n in the ev ent of a fire.

This finding is more than minor because it had the potential to impact the licensee's post-fire safe shutdow n capabil ity by delayin g operator response in the ev ent of a loss o f power to n ormal lightin g during a fire. The find ing was of v ery low risk significance (Green) because o perators wou ld likely be able to accomplish the actions w ith the use of flashlights. (Secti on 4OA5.1)

A Green NCV of 10 CFR 50.6 5(a)(4) was i dentified by the inspecto rs for the license e failing to ad equately ass ess and manage th e risk pertaini ng to a portion of the maintenance activiti es associated with the removal of the A Train of nucl ear service water (RN) from se rvice for a pl anned 14-day outage.Description. On January 5, the A Train of nuclear serv ice water (RN) was re moved from service to allow for the header to b e drained, i nspected and refurbished due to ongoing degradation of th e piping. The removal of the A Tra in of RN from service resulted in other equipment an d systems bei ng rendered ino perable in cluding the 1 A and 2A emergency dies el generators (DG).


=SUMMARY OF FINDINGS=
As part of the li censee amendment that granted a one-time exte nsion of the no rmal 72-hour LC O allowe d outage time (AOT) to 1 4 days, the license e committed to i mplement a number of actions to manage the eleva ted risk created by th is activi ty. These in cluded prov iding temporary cooling to th e DG via the fire protection sy stem during the pe riod the RN header w as out of servi ce and to prote ct equipment on the opposite tr ain; i.e., the B Train and protect ing the opposite train equipment whe n one train of RN was re moved from servi ce.The A Train of RN was remov ed from service at approxi mately 2100 on January 5 and the 1A and 2 A DGs w ere de clare d ino perabl e at th at time. Insta llati on of th e tempo rary cooli ng lin es from th e fire p rotecti on sy stem to the di esel jacket w ater he at ex changer s did not commenc e until the morning of January 6, 2006 and was not worked continuousl y until completed (appro ximately 1300 for the 1A diesel an d 1500 for the 2A diesel).

In addi tion, whi le the 2B D G itself had bee n posted with protec ted equipment si gnage, the roof area and support equipment such as the diesel lube oil storage tanks and the 2A/2B f ire protection and carbon dioxide (CO 2)headers had n ot been posted. As a resul t of not protecting thes e components an d areas, the crane movement had the potential to render the 2B DG inope rable leav ing the sta tion w ith on ly o ne ope rable DG in the ev ent no rmal A C pow er wa s lost. On January 5, th e A Train of RN was remov ed from service to allow for the header to be drained, in spected and re furbished due to ongoing degradation of the piping.

An NRC-identified NCV was identified for the failure to adequately assess andmanage the risk pertaining to a portion of the maintenance activities associated with theremoval of the A train of nuclear service water (RN) from service for a planned 14-dayoutage as required by 10 CFR 50.65(a)(4).The finding was more than minor because it was associated with the EquipmentPerformance attribute of the Mitigating Systems cornerstone and affected thecornerstone objective of ensuring that the availability, reliability and capability of systemsthat respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences is maintained. The inspectors determined that the finding was of very low risk significance (Green),based on the resulting magnitude of the calculated Incremental Core DamageProbability (5.8E-7/day), the length of time that the two A train diesels were unavailable(<18 hours) and that no actual loss of safety function of the 2B DG occurred. Thisfinding involved the cross-cutting aspect of human performance.  (Section 1R13)

An NRC-identified NCV of Catawba Nuclear Station (CNS) Operating LicenseCondition 2.C.5, Fire Protection Program (FPP), was identified. The licensee made achange to the approved fire protection program which had the potential to affect post-fire safe shutdown capability. Specifically, the licensee derated the time requirement for43 battery powered emergency lighting units (ELUs) from 8 hours to 1.5 hours. Theevaluation for this change was not adequate to ensure that derating the ELUs would notadversely affect the ability to achieve and maintain safe shutdown in the event of a fire.This finding is more than minor because it had the potential to impact the licensee'spost-fire safe shutdown capability by delaying operator response in the event of a loss ofpower to normal lighting during a fire. The finding was of very low risk significance(Green) because operators would likely be able to accomplish the actions with the useof flashlights. (Section 4OA5.1)

A Green NCV of 10 CFR 50.65(a)(4) was identified by the inspectors forthe licensee failing to adequately assess and manage the risk pertaining to a portion ofthe maintenance activities associated with the removal of the A Train of nuclear servicewater (RN) from service for a planned 14-day outage.Description. On January 5, the A Train of nuclear service water (RN) was removed fromservice to allow for the header to be drained, inspected and refurbished due to ongoingdegradation of the piping. The removal of the A Train of RN from service resulted inother equipment and systems being rendered inoperable including the 1A and 2Aemergency diesel generators (DG). As part of the licensee amendment that granted aone-time extension of the normal 72-hour LCO allowed outage time (AOT) to 14 days,the licensee committed to implement a number of actions to manage the elevated riskcreated by this activity. These included providing temporary cooling to the DG via thefire protection system during the period the RN header was out of service and to protectequipment on the opposite train; i.e., the B Train and protecting the opposite trainequipment when one train of RN was removed from service.The A Train of RN was removed from service at approximately 2100 on January 5 andthe 1A and 2A DGs were declared inoperable at that time. Installation of the temporarycooling lines from the fire protection system to the diesel jacket water heat exchangersdid not commence until the morning of January 6, 2006 and was not workedcontinuously until completed (approximately 1300 for the 1A diesel and 1500 for the 2Adiesel). The initial efforts were directed at restoring the 1A DG; however, the 2A DGwas required for the operation of the 1A DG because the 2A DG powered the A firepump which would be required to provide cooling to the A Train DGs on a loss of offsitepower. This sequence requirement had not been identified by the licensee inscheduling the installation of the temporary cooling to the DGs prior to enter the 14-dayLCO.

7EnclosureDuring the period of time in which the two A Train DGs were unavailable, a mobile cranetraversed the roof area of the 2B DG on two occasions preparing to lift the 2A dieselroom roof hatches. While the crane movement was done in accordance with anapproved station procedure for the work on the 2A DG, the licensee did not consider thecurrent plant condition; i.e., two of four DGs inoperable with both units in an OrangeORAM/SENTINEL risk condition. In addition, while the 2B DG itself had been postedwith protected equipment signage, the roof area and support equipment such as thediesel lube oil storage tanks and the 2A/2B fire protection and carbon dioxide (CO2)headers had not been posted. As a result of not protecting these components andareas, the crane movement had the potential to render the 2B DG inoperable leavingthe station with only one operable DG in the event normal AC power was lost. OnJanuary 5, the A Train of RN was removed from service to allow for the header to bedrained, inspected and refurbished due to ongoing degradation of the piping. Theremoval of the A Train of RN from service resulted in other equipment and systemsbeing rendered inoperable including the 1A and 2A emergency DGs. As part of thelicensee amendment that granted a one-time extension of the normal 72-hour LCO AOTto 14 days, the licensee committed to provide temporary cooling to the DG via the fireprotection system during the period the RN header was out of service and to protectequipment on the opposite train; i.e., the B Train.Analysis. Aspects of this maintenance work which demonstrated inadequateassessment and management during planned maintenance on the A Train of the RNsystem increased risk included the following:The licensee's risk assessment failed to fully consider risk significant SSCs and supportsystems that were unavailable during the maintenance activities.*Restoring the DGs to available status was a commitment made as part of the licenseeamendment request submitted by the licensee. Work to restore the 1A and 2A DGs toavailable status was not initiated promptly when appropriate conditions wereestablished nor was the work performed on a continuous basis until complete. Inaddition, the correct sequence of restoring the 2 DGs (2A followed by 1A) was notimplemented. These actions would have minimized the Incremental Core DamageProbability value that resulted from this portion of the planned LCO activities.The licensee's risk assessment failed to account for the possible unavailability of asingle train of a system (primary or back-up) that provides a shutdown key safetyfunction.*The potential impact on the station's emergency AC power system due to movementof a mobile crane on the 2B DG roof in close proximity to support equipment was notconsidered in the risk assessment performed in support of the A Train RN LCOoutage schedule nor once the outage.The licensee failed to effectively implement or manage prescribed significantcompensatory measures.*As part of the license amendment request, the licensee committed to protect the 1B 8Enclosureand 2B diesel generators during the A Train LCO outage to minimize the overallstation risk exposure and developed a plan to post the equipment when the LCO wasentered. However, the roof area and adjacent support equipment was not includedwithin this protected equipment boundary and as a result, work was allowed to beperformed in close proximity to equipment which had the potential to adversely impactthe operability of the 2B DG. *Changes in work scope and activities conducted in the vicinity of the 2B DG were notcommunicated back to Operations or Engineering to ensure that the changes wereassessed in a timely manner and did not affect the overall station risk values.The finding was more than minor because it was associated with the EquipmentPerformance attribute of the Mitigating Systems cornerstone and affected thecornerstone objective of ensuring the availability, reliability, and capability of systemswhich respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences is maintained. The inspectors determined that the finding is of very low risk significance (Green),based on the resulting magnitude of the calculated Incremental Core DamageProbability (5.8E-7/day), the length of time that the two A Train diesels were unavailable(<18 hours) and that no actual loss of safety function of the 2B DG occurred. Thisfinding involved the cross-cutting aspect of human performance.Enforcement. 10 CFR65 (a)(4), "Requirements for monitoring the Effectiveness ofMaintenance at Nuclear Power Plants," requires in part, that prior to performingmaintenance activities, the licensee shall assess and manage the increase in risk thatmay result from the proposed maintenance activities. Contrary to the above, on January5 and 6, 2006, the licensee failed to implement the requirements of 10 CFR 50.65(a)(4)to adequately assess and manage the increase in risk during the execution of plannedmaintenance associated with the A Train of RN, which placed the station in an OrangeORAM risk condition, and minimize the overall risk exposure as demonstrated throughthe following:*The licensee failed to expeditiously install temporary cooling to the 1A and 2A DGs ascommitted to in the License Amendment Request (LAR) that allowed the 14-day LCOwhich resulted in unnecessary unavailability of the DGs, when the RN header wasdrained and the temporary cooling was being installed, by not starting the work assoon as conditions permitted or working the job on a continuous basis.*The licensee failed to post the roof area above the 1B and 2B DGs and adjacentsupport equipment as protected equipment as committed to in the LAR to ensure theoperability of the remaining safety-related equipment was not jeopardized.*The licensee allowed a mobile crane to traverse the roof area above the 2B DG priorto restoring the 2A DG to available status to minimize the potential impact thismovement could have on an operable piece of safety-related equipment.*The licensee failed to properly sequence the actions taken in restoring the A Traindiesel generators to available status to ensure the 2A diesel generator was returnedfirst, which was required to provide cooling to both A Train DGs in the event of aLOOP.*The licensee failed to effectively communicate the elevated risk associated withplanned work activities to station personnel to ensure that changes in work scope or 9Enclosureschedules were elevated to the appropriate personnel for review and assessment. Because this finding is of very low safety significance and has been entered into thelicensee's corrective action program as PIP C-06-0057, this violation is being treated asan NCV consistent with Section VI.A.1 of the NRC Enforcement manual (NCV05000413, 414/2006002-01, Inadequate Risk Assessment and Management Associatedwith Planned Nuclear Service Water System Maintenance).

Findings and ObservationsNo findings of significance were identified.4OA5Other Activities.1(Closed) URI 05000414/2004007-03: Derating Selected Emergency Lighting Units Requiredfor Post-Fire Safe Shutdowna.Inspection ScopeThe inspectors preformed an in-office review of the documents listed in the Attachmentto determine if the ability to achieve and maintain safe shutdown (SSD) was adverselyaffected.b.FindingsIntroduction. The inspectors identified a Green NCV of CNS operating LicenseCondition 2.C.5, Fire Protection Program. The licensee made a change to the approvedFPP which had the potential to affect post-fire safe shutdown capability. Specifically,the licensee derated the time requirement for 43 battery-powered ELUs from 8 hours to1.5 hours. The licensee's evaluation for this change did not adequately demonstratethat the change would not adversely affect the ability to achieve and maintain SSD in theevent of a loss of power to normal lighting during a fire.


14EnclosureDescription. The licensee derated the time requirement for 43 battery-powered ELUsfrom 8 hours to 1.5 hours by minor modification CE-70695. These ELUs were creditedfor illumination of access/egress pathways or equipment for local manual operatoractions associated with alternative shutdown. This change to the FPP was notconsistent with the licensing basis, which stated that 8-hour battery-powered emergencylights would be provided. The justification for derating selected ELUs credited for post-fire SSD was provided in calculation CNC-1435.00-00-0018. The calculation stated thatderating selected SSD ELUs was acceptable because access, operator activities, andegress could occur well within 30 minutes. However, as discussed in NRC InspectionReport 05000413, 05000414/2004007, the abnormal procedures in effect at the time ofthat inspection may not have activated the standby shutdown facility (SSF) within the30-minute or 1.5-hour timeframes for fire events which may require activation of theSSF. Instead, the procedures directed operators to remain in the control room until itbecame uninhabitable or became incapable of maintaining primary or secondaryinventory. Then the procedures directed operators to go to the alternate shutdownpanel, in a lower level of the auxiliary building, and remain there until the controls therewere determined to be inadequate to maintain safe plant conditions. Only then didabnormal procedures direct operators to activate the SSF. The delays in activating theSSF were not addressed in Calculation CNC-1435.00-00-0018 nor the 10 CFR 50.59safety evaluation performed for minor modification CE-70695 and the associatedUpdated Final Safety Analysis Report (UFSAR) revision for this change.Analysis. This finding is more than minor because it had the potential to impact thelicensee's post-fire safe shutdown capability by delaying operator response in the eventof a loss of power to normal lighting during a fire. Access, operator activities, andegress may occur at later times than assumed in the calculation for the derated ELUs. The finding was of very low safety significance (Green) because the inspectorsdetermined that operators would likely be able to accomplish the actions with the use offlashlights.Enforcement. Operating License Condition 2.C.5 requires that the licensee implementand maintain in effect all provisions of the approved FPP, as described in the UFSAR,as amended, for the facility and as approved in the Safety Evaluation Report (SER)through Supplement 5. Branch Technical Position (BTP) CMEB 9.5-1, whichincorporated the guidance of Appendix A to BTP ASB 9.5-1 and the technicalrequirements of Appendix R to 10 CFR Part 50, established the regulatory and licensingrequirements for the FPP at CNS. The CNS FPP was reviewed against and approvedfor conformance with BTP CMEB 9.5-1 in the SER through Supplement 5. BTP CMEB9.5-1, Item C.5.g.(1), states, in part, that lighting is vital to safe shutdown andemergency response in the event of fire. In addition, fixed self-contained lightingconsisting of fluorescent or sealed-beam units with individual 8-hour minimum battery-power supplies be provided in areas that must be manned for safe shutdown and foraccess and egress routes to and from all fire areas.Contrary to the above, on June 25, 2004, the inspectors identified that the licensee'sevaluations failed to ensure that the derating of selected ELUs from 8 hours to 1.5 hourswould not adversely affect the ability to achieve and maintain safe shutdown in the eventof a loss of power to normal lighting during a fire. Procedural delays for activating the 15EnclosureSSF were not addressed in either Calculation CNC-1435.00-00-0018 or the10 CFR 50.59 safety evaluation performed for minor modification CE-70695. Access,operator activities, and egress may occur at times later than the 30 minutes or 1.5 hoursassumed in the calculation for the derated ELUs. This condition has existed since May2001. The licensee documented this violation in the corrective action program as PIPC-04-04276. The emergency light testing procedure, IP/0/B/3540/002, was changedfrom the 1.5-hour test period back to 8 hours. In addition, CNS also retested thederated ELUs for compliance with the 8-hour requirement. Twenty-three of the 43 ELUsprovided less than the minimum 8-hour lighting requirement. The licensee replaced thebatteries for the 23 ELUs. Because of the very low safety significance and the licenseehas entered this violation into their corrective action program, this violation is beingtreated as an NCV, consistent with Section VI.A.1 of the NRC Enforcement Policy and isidentified as NCV 05000414/2006002-02, Derating Selected Emergency Lighting UnitsRequired for Post-Fire Safe Shutdown.4OA6Meetings.1Exit Meeting Summary On April 12, the resident inspectors presented the inspection results to Mr. D.

Dear Mr. Jamil:

On March 31 , 2006, the U.S. Nuclear Re gulatory Commis sion (NRC)

completed an inspection at your Cata wba Nucl ear Station U nits 1 and 2. The enclos ed inspecti on report documen ts the inspection results, wh ich were discussed on April 12, 2006, wi th you and other members of yo ur sta ff.The inspection examined activiti es conducted under your license as they rela te to safety and compli ance w ith th e Commi ssion's rul es and regula tions and w ith th e cond ition s of yo ur li cense. The inspectors re viewe d selected p rocedures and records, observ ed activi ties, and in terview ed personnel.

This report docume nts two NR C-identified fin dings of very low sa fety significance (Green) which were determi ned to be v iolations of NRC requirements.

Howeve r, because of thei r very l ow safety significanc e and becaus e these vi olations w ere entered i nto your corre ctive acti on program, the NR C is t reatin g these viol ation s as no n-cite d vi olati ons (N CVs) c onsis tent w ith Section VI.A.1 of the NRC En forcement Policy.

The in specto rs dete rmined that th e findi ng was of ver y lo w ri sk signi ficance (Green), base d on the resu lti ng ma gnit ude of the cal cul ated Incr emen tal Core Dama ge Probability (5.8E-7/day), the length of time that the two A train diesels were unavailable (<18 hours) and that no actual loss of saf ety function of the 2B DG occur red. This findin g inv olve d the c ross-cu tting a spect o f human p erformanc e. (Se ction 1R13) *Green. An NRC-i dentified NCV of Catawba Nuclear Stati on (CNS) Operati ng License Condition 2.C.5, Fire Pro tection Program (FPP

), was ide ntified. The li censee made a change to the approv ed fire protec tion p rogram w hich had th e pote ntial to affect post-fire safe shutdown capabili ty. Speci fically, the licensee derated the time requirement for 43 battery p owered emergenc y lightin g units (ELUs) from 8 hours9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br /> to 1.5 ho urs. The evaluati on for this change was not ad equate to ensure th at derating the E LUs woul d not adversely affect the ability to achiev e and maintai n safe shutdow n in the ev ent of a fire.

This finding is more than minor because it had the potential to impact the licensee's post-fire safe shutdow n capabil ity by delayin g operator response in the ev ent of a loss o f power to n ormal lightin g during a fire. The find ing was of v ery low risk significance (Green) because o perators wou ld likely be able to accomplish the actions w ith the use of flashlights. (Secti on 4OA5.1)

A Green NCV of 10 CFR 50.6 5(a)(4) was i dentified by the inspecto rs for the license e failing to ad equately ass ess and manage th e risk pertaini ng to a portion of the maintenance activiti es associated with the removal of the A Train of nucl ear service water (RN) from se rvice for a pl anned 14-day outage.Description. On January 5, the A Train of nuclear serv ice water (RN) was re moved from service to allow for the header to b e drained, i nspected and refurbished due to ongoing degradation of th e piping. The removal of the A Tra in of RN from service resulted in other equipment an d systems bei ng rendered ino perable in cluding the 1 A and 2A emergency dies el generators (DG).

As part of the li censee amendment that granted a one-time exte nsion of the no rmal 72-hour LC O allowe d outage time (AOT) to 1 4 days, the license e committed to i mplement a number of actions to manage the eleva ted risk created by th is activi ty. These in cluded prov iding temporary cooling to th e DG via the fire protection sy stem during the pe riod the RN header w as out of servi ce and to prote ct equipment on the opposite tr ain; i.e., the B Train and protect ing the opposite train equipment whe n one train of RN was re moved from servi ce.The A Train of RN was remov ed from service at approxi mately 2100 on January 5 and the 1A and 2 A DGs w ere de clare d ino perabl e at th at time. Insta llati on of th e tempo rary cooli ng lin es from th e fire p rotecti on sy stem to the di esel jacket w ater he at ex changer s did not commenc e until the morning of January 6, 2006 and was not worked continuousl y until completed (appro ximately 1300 for the 1A diesel an d 1500 for the 2A diesel). The initial effort s were directed at restoring the 1A DG; however, the 2A DG was r equire d for the opera tion o f the 1A DG bec ause t he 2A DG pow ered th e A fire pump w hich woul d be re quired to pro vide cool ing to the A Tr ain D Gs on a loss of offsite power. This sequence requir ement had not been identified by the licensee in scheduling the installa tion of the temporary cooling to th e DGs prior to enter the 14-day LCO.

7 Enclo sure During the peri od of time in w hich the tw o A Train DGs w ere unavai lable, a mob ile crane traversed the roof area of the 2B D G on two oc casions prep aring to lift the 2 A diesel room roof hatches. While the cran e movement w as done in accordance w ith an approved sta tion procedure for the work on th e 2A DG, the l icensee di d not consid er the curr ent p lan t con diti on; i.e., two of fou r DGs ino pera ble wi th bo th un its in a n Ora nge ORAM/SENTINE L risk conditi on. In addi tion, whi le the 2B D G itself had bee n posted with protec ted equipment si gnage, the roof area and support equipment such as the diesel lube oil storage tanks and the 2A/2B f ire protection and carbon dioxide (CO 2)headers had n ot been posted. As a resul t of not protecting thes e components an d areas, the crane movement had the potential to render the 2B DG inope rable leav ing the sta tion w ith on ly o ne ope rable DG in the ev ent no rmal A C pow er wa s lost. On January 5, th e A Train of RN was remov ed from service to allow for the header to be drained, in spected and re furbished due to ongoing degradation of the piping.

The remov al of th e A Trai n of RN from serv ice re sulte d in o ther equ ipment and s ystems being rendered inoperable includi ng the 1A and 2A emergency D Gs. As part of the lice nsee a mendmen t that gr anted a one-time ex tensi on of th e norma l 72-h our LC O AOT to 14 d ays, the li censee commit ted to provi de temp orary cool ing to the DG via the fire protection sy stem during the pe riod the RN header w as out of servi ce and to prote ct equipment on the opposite trai n; i.e., the B Train.Analysis.

The inspectors identified a Green NCV of CN S operating Li cense Condition 2.C.5, Fire Pro tection Program. The licensee mad e a change to th e approved FPP which had t he poten tial to af fect post-f ire saf e shutdo wn capabilit y. Specif ically, the li censee derate d the t ime re quireme nt for 43 batter y-pow ered E LUs from 8 hour9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br /> s to 1.5 ho urs. Th e lic ensee's ev aluat ion for this change did n ot ade quatel y demo nstrate that the change w ould not ad versely affect the ability to achiev e and maintai n SSD in the event of a lo ss of power to normal lighti ng during a fire.

14 Enclo sure Description. The licensee derated the time req uirement for 43 batt ery-powered ELUs from 8 hours9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br /> to 1.5 h ours by min or modification CE-70695. These ELUs we re credited for illuminati on of access/egress pa thways or equipment for loca l manual op erator actions assoc iated wi th alternativ e shutdown. This change to the FPP w as not consistent w ith the li censing basis , which stated that 8-hou r battery-pow ered emergency lights wou ld be prov ided. The jus tificat ion for derati ng sele cted E LUs cr edite d for po st-fire SSD wa s provide d in calcu lation CN C-1435.00-00-001 8. The calcul ation stated th at derating selecte d SSD ELU s was acc eptable beca use access, op erator activi ties, and egress could oc cur well within 30 minutes.

Howeve r, as discusse d in NRC Inspection Report 050004 13, 05000414/2 004007, the ab normal procedure s in effect at the ti me of that inspecti on may not h ave activ ated the standb y shutdow n facility (SSF) wi thin the 30-minute or 1.5-hour timeframes for fire ev ents whic h may require activation of the SSF. Instead, the procedure s directed operators to rem ain in the control room until it became unin habit able or bec ame in capab le of ma intai ning p rimary or sec ondary inven tor y. The n the proc edur es dir ecte d oper ator s to g o to t he alt erna te sh utdo wn panel , in a low er lev el of th e aux ilia ry bu ildi ng, and remai n there until the co ntrols there were determined to be inadequate to ma intain safe plant conditions. Only then did abnormal proced ures direct op erators to activ ate the SSF.

The delays in activ ating the SSF were not a ddressed in Calculati on CNC-1435

.00-00-0018 nor the 10 CFR 50.59 safety eval uation performed for min or modification CE-70695 and the associa ted Updated Fin al Safety An alysis Report (UFSAR) revisio n for this change.

Analysis. This finding i s more than mino r because it had the potenti al to impact the licensee's post-fire safe shutdo wn capabi lity by delayi ng operator respons e in the ev ent of a lo ss of po wer t o norma l li ghting d uring a fire. Access, opera tor activiti es, and egress m ay oc cur at later times t han as sumed i n the c alcul ation for the derate d ELU s. The find ing w as of v ery l ow sa fety si gnifica nce (Gre en) be cause the in specto rs determined that operators wo uld likely be able to accomplish the actions w ith the use o f flashlights.

Enforcement. Operating Lice nse Conditi on 2.C.5 requires that the li censee imple ment and maintain in effect all provisions of the approved FPP, as described in the UFSAR, as amended, for the facility and as approved in the Safety Evaluation Report (SER)

through Supplemen t 5. Branch Tech nical Pos ition (BTP) CM EB 9.5-1, w hich incorporated th e guidance of Ap pendix A to BTP ASB 9

.5-1 and the tec hnical requirements of Append ix R to 10 CFR Part 50, establis hed the regulato ry and li censing requirements for the FPP at CNS. The CNS FPP w as review ed against and approved for confor mance with BTP CMEB 9.5-1 in the SER through Supplement 5. BTP CMEB 9.5-1, Item C.5.g.(1), states, i n part, that li ghting is vi tal to safe shutdo wn and emergency respon se in the e vent of fire. In ad dition, fixe d self-contained lighting consist ing of fluore scent or sealed-b eam unit s with individua l 8-hour minimum batter y-power supp lies be p rovided i n areas that must be manned for safe shu tdown and for access and egress routes to and from all fire areas.

Contrary to the above, on June 25, 2004, the inspector s identified that the licensee's eval uatio ns fail ed to e nsure that th e dera ting of s elect ed ELU s from 8 h ours to 1.5 ho urs would n ot adversel y affect the abil ity to ach ieve and maintain sa fe shutdown i n the even t of a loss of pow er to normal l ighting during a fire.

Procedural delays for ac tivating the 15 Enclo sure SSF were not addressed in either Calculati on CNC-1435

.00-00-0018 or th e 10 CFR 50.5 9 safety eva luation pe rformed for minor modificatio n CE-70695.

Access, operat or acti viti es, an d egress may o ccur at times later than th e 30 mi nutes or 1.5 hours5.787037e-5 days <br />0.00139 hours <br />8.267196e-6 weeks <br />1.9025e-6 months <br /> assumed in the calculati on for the derated ELUs. This conditi on has ex isted since May 2001. The li censee docume nted th is v iola tion i n the c orrecti ve ac tion p rogram as PIP C-04-04276. The emergency light testing procedure, IP/0/B/3540/002, w as changed from the 1.5-hour test pe riod back to 8 hours9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br />. In addi tion, CNS a lso retested th e derated ELUs for compliance w ith the 8-hour requirement. Twen ty-three of the 43 ELUs provided less than the minimum 8-hour lighting requirement.

The license e replaced th e batteries for the 23 ELUs. Beca use of the very low sa fety significance and the li censee has entered thi s viola tion into th eir correctiv e action program, th is viol ation is b eing treated as an NCV, consistent with Section VI.A.1 of the NRC Enforcement Policy and is ident ified as NC V 0500 0414/2 00600 2-02, D eratin g Sele cted E mergency Lighti ng Uni ts Required for Post-Fi re Safe Shutdow n.4OA6 Mee ting s.1 Exit Mee ting Su mmary On April 12 , the resident inspectors pres ented the in spection resul ts to Mr. D.
