ATTN: Supervisor, Licensing & Regulatory Programs15760 West Power Line Street Crystal River, FL 34428-6708SUBJECT:CRYSTAL RIVER UNIT 3 - NRC INTEGRATED INSPECTION REPORT05000302/2007005

Dear Mr. Young:

On December 31, 2007, the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed aninspection at your Crystal River Unit 3. The enclosed integrated inspection report documents the inspection findings, which were discussed on January 7, 2008, with you and members of your staff.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 interviewed personnel.Based on the results of this inspection, the inspectors identified one finding of very low safetysignificance (Green). The finding was determined to involve a violation of NRC requirements.

However, because of the very low safety significance of the issue, and because it was entered into your corrective action program, the NRC is treating the issue as a non-cited violation (NCV)

consistent with Section VI.A of the NRC Enforcement Policy. If you contest this non-cited violation, you should provide a response within 30 days of the date of this inspection report, with the basis for your denial to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, ATTN.: Document Control Desk, Washington DC 20555-0001; with copies to the Regional Administrator, NRC Region II; The Director, Office of Enforcement, United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington DC 20555-0001; and the NRC Resident Inspector at the Crystal River Unit 3 site.

FPC2In 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 DocumentRoom or from the Publicly Available Records (PARS) component of NRC's document system (ADAMS).

SUMMARY OF FINDINGS

IR 05000302/2007-005; 10/01/2007 - 12/31/2007; Crystal River Unit 3; Refueling and OtherOutage Activities.The report covered a three-month period of inspection by the resident inspectors. One Greennon-cited violation was identified during this inspection. 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 commercial nuclear power reactors is described in NUREG-1649, "Reactor Oversight Process," Revision 4, dated December 2006.A.

NRC-Identified Findings

Cornerstone: Mitigating Systems

Green.

The inspectors identified a non-cited violation (NCV) of Improved TechnicalSpecification 5.6.1.1.a, for failure to adequately implement procedures required by Regulatory Guide 1.33, Appendix A, Section 3, Procedures for Startup, Operation, and Shutdown of Safety-Related PWR Systems. Specifically, the licensee failed to verify no latent debris was present in containment that could impact the emergency core cooling system (ECCS) sump. Corrective actions completed include: removal of the debris identified by the inspectors and performing additional inspection and cleaning of containment.The finding is more than minor because it could be reasonably viewed as a precursor toa significant event involving debris accumulation on the containment sump screens which could cause impairment to ECCS recirculation flow during a design basis loss of coolant accident. The inspectors referenced Inspection Manual Chapter 0609,

Significance Determination Process (SDP), Phase 1 screening and determined the finding to be of very low safety significance. Although the debris impacted the mitigating system cornerstone, it was unlikely to have resulted in an actual loss of safety function and was not potentially risk significant due to possible external events. A contributing cause of this finding is related to the crosscutting area of Human Performance,specifically Work Practices in that the licensee did not adequately comply with a containment inspection procedure.

During the refueling outage, the inspectors observed and monitored licensee controls over the outage activities listed below. Documents reviewed are listed in the Attachment. *Outage related risk assessment monitoring*Controls associated with shutdown cooling, reactivity management, electricalpower alignments, containment closure and integrity, and spent fuel pool cooling*Implementation of equipment clearance activities

  • Reduced inventory activities
  • Refueling activities
  • Reactor mode changes
  • Reactor heat-up and pressurization
  • Containment cleanup and closeout inspection
  • Reactor initial startup and reactor physics testing
  • Reactor power ascension and related testingReview of Operating Experience Smart Sample (OPESS) FY2007-03, Crane and HeavyLift Inspection, Supplemental Guidance for IP-71111.20The inspectors performed an operating experience smart sample in the area of handlingof heavy loads. The inspectors reviewed selected heavy lifting evolutions in the reactor building. Specifically, the inspectors observed removal of the reactor head package to verify the maximum lift height and load path were in accordance with the load drop analysis and reactor vessel head lift procedures. The inspectors verified proper polar crane preventative maintenance was performed prior to the head lift and the crane operators were properly trained and briefed prior to the lift.

b. Findings

Debris found in ContainmentIntroduction: A Green, non-cited violation (NCV) of Improved Technical Specification5.6.1, Procedures, was identified by the NRC for failure to follow procedural guidance associated with removal of debris in containment.Description: On December 2, 2007, with the exception of the reactor building incore pitarea where limited scope work was continuing, the licensee completed containment inspections in accordance with SP-324, Containment Inspection. The procedure is utilized, in part, to ensure no latent debris is present that can be carried to and possibly block the emergency core cooling system (ECCS) containment sump. The inspection is performed prior to plant heat-up to Mode 4 when the containment sump is required to be operable.Later on December 2, the inspectors performed a detailed inspection of containment. Ingeneral, the inspectors found that the containment was clean and free of debris of substantial size. However, the inspectors identified outage related materials that had not been removed by the licensee. On the 160' elevation, the inspectors found two pairs of work gloves, a bag of tie wraps and two approximately 12" X 18" fibrous scaffold boards under a scaffold storage box. Around reactor coolant pump RCP-1C seal area, the inspectors found a skull cap, 1/2 of a scrubbing pad, pieces of wire and rubber booties.

The debris identified by the inspectors was removed by the licensee prior to Mode 4 entry. As a result of the inspectors observations, the licensee performed additional containment cleanup/inspections to ensure latent debris was removed.

Analysis:

The inspectors determined that the failure to ensure latent debris was removedfrom containment is a performance deficiency. The finding is more than minor because it could be reasonably viewed as a precursor to a significant event involving debris accumulation on the containment sump screens which could cause impairment to ECCS recirculation flow during a design basis loss of coolant accident. The inspectors referenced Inspection Manual Chapter 0609, Significance Determination Process (SDP),

Phase 1 screening and determined the finding to be of very low safety significance.

Although the debris impacted the mitigating system cornerstone, it would not have resulted in an actual loss of safety function and was not potentially risk significant due to possible external events. A contributing cause of this finding is related to the crosscutting area of Human Performance, specifically Work Practices in t hat the licenseedid not adequately comply with a containment inspection procedure. (IMC 305, H.4(b))Enforcement: Improved Technical Specification 5.6.1.1.a requires that writtenprocedures be implemented for those systems referenced in Regulatory Guide 1.33, Revision 2, Appendix A, which would include operation of the emergency core cooling system. SP-324, Containment inspection, Revision 56, enclosures 5, 8 and 9 require, in part, that no latent debris exist in containment that could impact performances of the ECCS. Contrary to this, on December 2, 2007, the licencee documented satisfactory completion of the SP-324 enclosures, even though the acceptance criteria regarding debris was not met. Because this finding is of very low safety significance and because it 14Enclosurewas entered into the licensee's corrective action program (NCR 257426), this violation isbeing treated as an Non-cited Violation consistent with Section VI.A of the NRC Enforcement Policy, and is identified as NCV 05000302/2007005-001, Failure to Follow Procedural Guidance Associated with Removal of Containment Debris.

Corrective actions completed include: removal of the debris identified by the inspectors and performing additional inspection and cleaning of containment.

a. Inspection Scope

Access Controls The inspectors evaluated licensee guidance and its implementation forcontrolling worker access to radiologically significant areas and monitoring jobs in-progress. The inspectors directly observed implementation of administrative and physical radiological controls; evaluated radiation worker (radworker) and health physicstechnician (HPT) knowledge of and proficiency in implementing radiation protection requirements; and assessed worker exposures to radiation and radioactive material.During facility tours, the inspectors directly observed postings and physical controls forradiation areas and high radiation areas (HRAs) established within the radiologically controlled area (RCA) of the auxiliary building and radioactive waste (radwaste)processing and storage locations. The inspectors independently measured radiation dose rates or directly observed conduct of licensee radiation surveys for selected RCA areas. Results were compared to current licensee surveys and assessed against established postings and Radiation Work Permit (RWP) controls. Licensee key control and access barrier effectiveness were observed and evaluated for selected Locked High Radiation Area (LHRA) locations. Changes to procedural guidance for LHRA and Very High Radiation Area controls were discussed in detail with health physics (HP)supervisors. Physical controls for storage of irradiated material within the spent fuel pool were observed. In addition, licensee controls for areas where dose rates could change significantly as a result of refueling operations or radwaste activities were reviewed and

discussed.The inspectors attended the pre-job briefings and remotely observed activities leading tothe removal of the core barrel as part of the 10 year in-service inspection. The observations afforded the inspectors opportunity to assess various aspects of the radiation protection program including communications between HP and various workgroups, internal communications, RWP controls, contamination control, surveys, radiation worker adherence to RWP and other HP guidance, HPT proficiency in providing job coverage and supervisory willingness to intervene when conditions deviated from expected. The inspectors observed various other work activities including work on pressurizer surgeline as part of the alloy 600 inspection and weld overlay. The inspectors continued to evaluate various aspects of the HP program to include comparisons of the electronic dosimeter (ED) alarms setpoints with area radiation survey results and ED alarm response actions were discussed with radiation workers and HP supervisors.The inspectors evaluated the effectiveness of radiation exposure controls, including airsampling, barrier integrity, engineering controls, and postings through a review of both internal and external exposure results. Licensee evaluations of skin dose resulting from discrete radioactive particle or dispersed skin contamination events were reviewed and 16Enclosureassessed. For HRA tasks involving significant dose rate gradients, the inspectorsevaluated procedural guidance for the use and placement of whole body and extremity dosimetry to monitor worker exposure. The inspectors also reviewed and discussed internal dose assessments and whole body count results for one individual.Radiation protection activities were evaluated against the requirements of Final SafetyAnalysis Report (FSAR) Chapter 11; Technical Specifications (TS) Section 5.8; 10 Codeof Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 20; and approved licensee procedures.

a. Inspection Scope

ALARA The inspectors reviewed ALARA program guidance and its implementation forrefueling outage 15 (R15) job tasks. The inspectors evaluated the accuracy of ALARA work planning and dose budgeting, observed implementation of ALARA initiatives and radiation controls for selected jobs in-progress, assessed the effectiveness of source-term reduction efforts, and reviewed historical dose information. ALARA planning documents and procedural guidance were reviewed and projected doseestimates were compared to actual dose expenditures for the following high dose jobs:

Alloy 600 weld overlay work, steam generator (S/G) eddy current testing, and scaffolding emplacement and removal. Differences between budgeted dose and actual exposure received were discussed with cognizant ALARA staff. Changes to dose budgets relative to changes in radiation source term and/or job scope were also discussed. The inspectors attended pre-job briefings and evaluated the communication of ALARA goals, RWP requirements, and industry lessons-learned to job crew personnel. The inspectors also attended an ALARA review committee meeting and observed the interface between plant management and ALARA planning staff.

17EnclosureThe inspectors made direct field or closed-circuit-video observations of outage job tasksinvolving S/G eddy current testing and Alloy 600 work. For the selected tasks, the inspectors evaluated radworker and HPT job performance; individual and collective dose expenditure versus percentage of job completion; surveys of the work areas, appropriateness of RWP requirements; and adequacy of implemented engineering controls. For S/G eddy current testing, Alloy 600 remediation, and reactor building scaffold work, the inspectors interviewed radworkers and job sponsors regarding understanding of dose reduction initiatives and their current and expected accumulated doses at completion of the job tasks. Implementation and effectiveness of selected program initiatives with respect to source-term reduction were evaluated. Chemistry program ALARA initiatives and their effect on reactor building dose rate trends were reviewed. The effectiveness of temporary shielding installed for the current outage was assessed through review of shielding request packages and pre-shielding versus post-shielding dose rate data. Plant exposure history for calendar year (CY) 2004 through CY 2006 and data reportedto the NRC pursuant to 10 CFR 20.2206 were reviewed, as were established goals for reducing collective exposure during the current R15 outage. The inspectors reviewed procedural guidance for dosimetry issuance and exposure tracking. The inspectors also examined dose records of declared pregnant workers to evaluate assignment of gestation dose. ALARA program activities and their implementation were reviewed against 10 CFRPart 20, and approved licensee procedures. In addition, licensee performance was evaluated against guidance contained in Regulatory Guide (RG) 8.8, Information Relevant to Ensuring that Occupational Radiation Exposures at Nuclear Power Stations will be As Low As Reasonably Achievable and RG 8.13, Instruction Concerning Prenatal Radiation Exposure. Procedures and records reviewed within this inspection area are listed in Sections 2OS2 of the report Attachment.Problem Identification and Resolution The inspectors reviewed selected NCRs in thearea of exposure control.

This review was accomplished by attending daily plant status meetings, interviewing plant operators and applicable system engineers, and accessing the licensee's computerized database.

b. Findings

No findings of significance were identified.

.2 Annual Sample Review

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors selected NCRs 244022 for a detailed review. The NCR was initiated toaddress reoccurring increasing particulate levels in onsite diesel fuel tanks. The inspectors checked that the issue had been completely and accurately identified in the licensee's CAP, and that safety concerns were properly classified and prioritized for resolution, apparent cause determinations were sufficiently thorough, and appropriate corrective actions were implemented in a manner consistent with safety and compliance with plant technical specifications and 10 CFR 50. The inspectors also evaluated the NCR using the requirements of the licensee's CAP as delineated in corrective action procedure CAP-NGGC-200, Corrective Action Program.

b. Findings and Observations

NCR 244022 documented the need to investigate the cause of increasing particulate levels in both safety-related and non-safety-related diesel fuel tanks. The particulate level did not impact the operability of any safety related system. The inspectors determined that the short term corrective action of filtering the tanks was appropriate.

The investigation, utilizing both outside resources and industry operating experience, 22Enclosuredetermined that the cause of the increasing particulate levels was due to the interaction between high and low sulfur diesel fuels when high sulfur fuel was added to the tanks over the last year. The inspectors determined that long-term corrective actions in place should resolve the issue..3Annual Sample Review

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors performed an in-depth review of eleven nuclear condition reports (NCR)that described issues associated with plant status control (PSC), including a priority oneNCR that identified a significant adverse trend in PSC. The inspectors reviewed the licensee's self assessment report on this subject, the corrective actions that were implemented to address the overall programmatic PSC issues, and the investigative methods and time-lines the licensee will use in investigating and correcting new plant status issues. During the inspection period, the inspectors observed meetings held by the newly formed "Plant Status Control Review Board," that performed an independent review of completed NCR investigations and the respective corrective actions associated with plant status control issues. Additionally, the inspectors reviewed the newly formed "Plant Status Control Event Zero-Tolerance Policy" that was implemented during the inspection period.

b. Findings and Observations

No findings of significance were identified. The inspectors found that the licensee hasbeen very aggressive in their investigations to understand and to correct the causes of plant status control (PSC) issues. Corrective actions include increasing awareness on plant status control on a plant wide level, i.e., PSC cultural change, provide better guidance on PSC issue investigations, and upper management involvement in reviewing completed investigations. For example, the licensee has developed a procedure that provides better guidance for interviewing personnel and documenting facts relating to PSC issues, and guidance on the timeliness to complete PSC issue investigations are now provided. With the creation of the PSC Review Board which consisted of members from upper management (PGM, Operations manager, Maintenance manager, Chemistry superintendent, and Human Performance team lead) and the Plant Status Control Zero-Tolerance Policy, upper management is directly involved in reviewing all PSC issue investigations and corrective actions. Training, PSC operating experience discussions at pre-job briefs, and more personnel accountability are other methods the licensee is using to heighten the awareness of the importance to ensure good plant status control.

.4 Semi-Annual Trend Review

a. Inspection Scope

As required by Inspection Procedure 71152, Identification and Resolution of Problems,the inspectors performed a review of the licensee'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 issues, but also considered the 23Enclosureresults of daily inspector CAP item screening discussed in section 4OA2.1 above, plantstatus reviews, plant tours, and licensee trending efforts. The inspectors review nominally considered the six month period of June 2007 through December 2007. The review also included issues documented in the Equipment Performance Priority List dated December, 2007; System Health Report January to June 2007 dated September 13, 2007; various nuclear assessment section reports and maintenance rule assessments. The inspectors compared and contrasted their results with the results contained in the licensee's 3 rd Quarter 2007, Site CAP Rollup & Trend Analysis report. Corrective actions associated with a sample of the issues identified in the licensees trend report were reviewed for adequacy.

b.Assessment and ObservationsNo findings of significance were identified. The inspectors evaluated the licensee's trend methodology and observed that the licensee had performed a detailed review.
