However, the design change post modification testing=instructions, the system operating procedure, and related surveillance procedures did not require the fuel in the Auxiliary Boiler storage tank to be sampled prior to transferring the fuel to the EDG storage tanks.3.A design safety analysis for the Fuel Oil Filter Polisher System design change was completed on May 2, 1992.The preparer and reviewer did not recognize that the unit's operation could impact a safety-related system.Consequently, no Safety Evaluation was performed that would have evaluated the nonsafety-related to safety-related system interactions and identified the need for system controls.4. | YES (lf yes, coaplete EXPECTED SUBHISSIOH DATE) HO During the period from December 14 through December 21, 1993, diesel fuel that included untested fuel was transferred from the Auxiliary Boiler Fuel Oil Storage Tank (FO-TK-1) to each of the three Emergency Diesel Generator (EDG) Fuel Oil Storage Tanks (DO-TK-1A, DO-TK-1B, and DO-TK-2). | ||
The Fuel Oil Filter Polisher System design change documentation included statements that identified Technical Specification fuel cleanliness requirements for system installation and that the Auxiliary Boiler storage tank will be connected to the EDG storage tanks.However, Operations Procedures personnel did not adequately review the design change documentation. | This event occurred during post modification testing of the recently installed Fuel Oil Filter Polisher System. Plant personnel involved in the testing identified the problem and initiated a Problem Evaluation Request (PER 293-1438) on December 30, 1993. An operability assessment was performed on December 30, 1993 to determine the status of EDG operability. All three EDGs (DG-1, DG-2, and DG-3) were determined to be operable. This event was inconsistent with Technical Specification Surveillance (TSS) Requirement 4.8.1.1.2.c, which requires that diesel fuel be sampled prior to addition to the EDG storage tanks. | ||
As a result, PPM 2.8.15,"Diesel Fuel Oil Filter/Polisher System," did not include procedural controls to assure that TSS 4.8.1.1.2.c fuel cleanliness and testing requirements were satisfied-during system operation. | As an immediate corrective action, personnel clearance tagged the Auxiliary Boiler suction valve for the Fuel Oil Filter Polisher System to assure the valve remains closed. This will prevent further transfer of fuel from the Auxiliary Boiler storage tank to the EDG storage tanks until a design review and Safety Evaluation are completed. In addition, fuel oil samples were taken from all four fuel oil storage tanks and sent to an independent chemical testing facility for analysis. | ||
LICENSEE EVENT REPORT (LER)TEXT CONTINUATION AC1LlTT NAHE (1) | The root causes for this event were: (1) that the nonsafety-related Fuel Oil Filter Polisher System design change documentation did not include a 10CFR50.59 Safety Evaluation or an adequate evaluation of the nonsafety-related to safety-related system interactions, and (2) Operating Procedure PPM 2.8.15, "Diesel Fuel Oil Filter/Polisher System," did not include procedural controls to assure that TSS 4.8.1.1.2.c fuel cleanliness and testing requirements were satisfied during system operation. | ||
This practice bypasses an opportunity for an additional 10CFR50.59 review and the higher level of scrutiny associated with approval of a Temporary Procedure in accordance with PPM 1.2.4,"Plant Procedure Approval Revision and Distribution.", In this case, the design change post modification test used PPM 2.8.15 for system lineups and operation. | |||
However, a special test procedure should have been written and performed because the operating procedure was not adequate to support the post modification test.Consequently, the Technical Specification requirements were not adequately addressed when the MWR post modification testing instructions directed the performer to transfer fuel from the Auxiliary Boiler storage tank to the EDG storage tanks.7.As discussed above, Supply System personnel missed several opportunities to prevent this event.All of these missed opportunities were found to have, resulted from the mindset that"the fuel/polisher unit is not safety-related and[therefore] | LICENSEE EYENT REPOR C (LER) | ||

Subsequent analyses of the fuel oil samples taken from all four fuel oil storage tanks supported this operability assessment. Based on this documentation, this event did not impact EDG operability or fuel quality. Accordingly, this event had no safety significance and posed no threat to the health and safety of the public or plant personnel. | |||

YES (lf yes, coaplete EXPECTED SUBHISSIOH DATE) HO During the period from December 14 through December 21, 1993, diesel fuel that included untested fuel was transferred from the Auxiliary Boiler Fuel Oil Storage Tank (FO-TK-1) to each of the three Emergency Diesel Generator (EDG) Fuel Oil Storage Tanks (DO-TK-1A, DO-TK-1B, and DO-TK-2).
This event occurred during post modification testing of the recently installed Fuel Oil Filter Polisher System. Plant personnel involved in the testing identified the problem and initiated a Problem Evaluation Request (PER 293-1438) on December 30, 1993. An operability assessment was performed on December 30, 1993 to determine the status of EDG operability. All three EDGs (DG-1, DG-2, and DG-3) were determined to be operable. This event was inconsistent with Technical Specification Surveillance (TSS) Requirement 4.8.1.1.2.c, which requires that diesel fuel be sampled prior to addition to the EDG storage tanks.
As an immediate corrective action, personnel clearance tagged the Auxiliary Boiler suction valve for the Fuel Oil Filter Polisher System to assure the valve remains closed. This will prevent further transfer of fuel from the Auxiliary Boiler storage tank to the EDG storage tanks until a design review and Safety Evaluation are completed. In addition, fuel oil samples were taken from all four fuel oil storage tanks and sent to an independent chemical testing facility for analysis.
The root causes for this event were: (1) that the nonsafety-related Fuel Oil Filter Polisher System design change documentation did not include a 10CFR50.59 Safety Evaluation or an adequate evaluation of the nonsafety-related to safety-related system interactions, and (2) Operating Procedure PPM 2.8.15, "Diesel Fuel Oil Filter/Polisher System," did not include procedural controls to assure that TSS 4.8.1.1.2.c fuel cleanliness and testing requirements were satisfied during system operation.

UNTESTED FUEL TRANSFERRED TO THE EMERGENCY DIESEL GENERATOR FUEL OIL STORAGE TANKS Further corrective actions include: {1) performing a design review and Safety Evaluation for the Fuel Oil Filter Polisher System modification request (PMR 83-107), {2) changing appropriate plant procedures based on the design review and Safety Evaluation, (3) counseling and training on the'lessons learned from this event, and (4) performing design reviews for planned design changes that add or change inter-ties between safety-related and nonsafety-related systems.
This event posed no threat to the health and safety of the public or plant personnel.
RIICh i m Power Level - 100%
Plant Mode - 1 (Power Operation) vent D ri ti n In August 1993, approximately 17,000 gallons of untested diesel fuel oil was added to the Auxiliary Boiler storage tank. During the period from December 14 through December 21, 1993, diesel fuel that included the untested fuel was transferred from the Auxiliary Boiler Fuel Oil Storage Tank (FO-TK-1) to each of the three Emergency Diesel Generator (EDG) Fuel Oil Storage Tanks {DO-TK-1A, DO-TK-IB, and DO-TK-2). This event occurred during post modification testing of the recently installed Fuel Oil Filter Polisher System. The testing included demonstrating the capability to transfer fuel from the Auxiliary Boiler storage tank to an EDG storage tank, and to recirculate the fuel through the filter polisher and back to the Auxiliary Boiler tank. A Maintenance Work Request (MWR-AR6637) was used to perform the testing and included steps that recirculated approximately 5,000 gallons of the untested fuel from the Auxiliary Boiler storage tank through each EDG storage tank. Plant personnel involved in the testing identified the problem and initiated a Problem Evaluation Request (PER 293-1438) on December 30, 1993.
The System Engineer performed an operability assessment on December 30, 1993 to determine the status of EDG operability. All three EDGs (DG-1, DG-2, and DG-3) were determined to be operable during the period from December 14 through December 30, 1993 {the period in question). This determination was based on confidence that the untested fuel transferred from the Auxiliary Boiler tank met the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) requirements specified in Technical Specifications 4.8.1.1.2.c and d. Analyses of fuel oil samples taken from all four fuel oil storage tanks supported this operability assessment.

- 1. Operations personnel clearance tagged the Auxiliary Boiler suction valve for the Fuel Oil Filter Polisher System to assure the valve remains closed. This will prevent further transfer of fuel from the Auxiliary Boiler storage tank to the EDG storage tanks until a design review and Safety Evaluation are completed.

UNTESTED FUEL TRANSFERRED TO THE EMERGENCY DIESEL GENERATOR FUEL OIL STORAGE TANKS
- 2. Fuel oil samples were taken from all four fuel oil storage tanks and sent to Herguth Laboratories, Inc., an independent chemical testing facility, for analysis to assure compliance with the fuel quality requirements of TSS Requirement 4.8,1.1.2.c.
rtherEv1 ai n nd rr iveA i n 1 H I
The Supply System initially determined that this event was not reportable to the NRC based on a determination of no impact on EDG operability or fuel quality. However, after further evaluation, the original reportability determination was amended to recognize the noncompliance with TSS Requirement 4.8.1.1.2.c. Specifically, this event is being reported pursuant to 10CFR50.73(a)(2)(i)(B) as "Any operation or condition prohibited by the plant's Technical Specifications...."
- 2. A feature of the Fuel Oil Filter Polisher System design change was the capability of transferring fuel from the Auxiliary Boiler storage tank to the three EDG storage tanks. This was a significant change to the method of adding fuel to the EDG storage tanks and is controlled by TSS 4.8.1.1.2.c. However, the design change post modification testing =
instructions, the system operating procedure, and related surveillance procedures did not require the fuel in the Auxiliary Boiler storage tank to be sampled prior to transferring the fuel to the EDG storage tanks.
- 3. A design safety analysis for the Fuel Oil Filter Polisher System design change was completed on May 2, 1992. The preparer and reviewer did not recognize that the unit's operation could impact a safety-related system. Consequently, no Safety Evaluation was performed that would have evaluated the nonsafety-related to safety-related system interactions and identified the need for system controls.
- 4. The Plant Operating Committee (POC) reviewed the Fuel Oil Filter Polisher System design change on August 19, 1992 at POC Meeting 92-34 and again on August 26, 1992 at POC Meeting 92-35. POC members missed an opportunity to address the design change deficiencies because they were provided with inaccurate information based on an inadequate review of the design change documentation.
- 5. The Fuel Oil Filter Polisher System design change documentation included statements that identified Technical Specification fuel cleanliness requirements for system installation and that the Auxiliary Boiler storage tank will be connected to the EDG storage tanks. However, Operations Procedures personnel did not adequately review the design change documentation.
As a result, PPM 2.8.15, "Diesel Fuel Oil Filter/Polisher System," did not include procedural controls to assure that TSS 4.8.1.1.2.c fuel cleanliness and testing requirements were satisfied- during system operation.

UNTESTED FUEL TRANSFERRED To THE EHERGENCY DIESEL GENERATOR FUEL OIL STORAGE TANKS
- 6. The Fuel Oil Filter Polisher System design change testing was performed by MWR rather than by 'a special test procedure. This practice bypasses an opportunity for an additional 10CFR50.59 review and the higher level of scrutiny associated with approval of a Temporary Procedure in accordance with PPM 1.2.4, "Plant Procedure Approval Revision and Distribution.",
In this case, the design change post modification test used PPM 2.8.15 for system lineups and operation. However, a special test procedure should have been written and performed because the operating procedure was not adequate to support the post modification test.
Consequently, the Technical Specification requirements were not adequately addressed when the MWR post modification testing instructions directed the performer to transfer fuel from the Auxiliary Boiler storage tank to the EDG storage tanks.
- 7. As discussed above, Supply System personnel missed several opportunities to prevent this event. All of these missed opportunities were found to have, resulted from the mindset that "the fuel/polisher unit is not safety-related and [therefore] does not affect components or items that are safety-related," Action will be'taken to correct this mindset.
- 8. The Supply System believes that the changes incorporated into the 10CFR50.59 review and evaluation procedures on September 30, 1992 adequately address the related programmatic implications of this event.
- 9. =
The Supply System has improved the design change implementation review process since the Fuel Oil Filter Polisher System design change was reviewed and approved for installation.
Design changes are now reviewed by a Project Review Group (PRG) and Project Engineers have been given overall ownership of assigned design changes. They act as a single point of contact for coordinating activities and will follow issues associated with a design change through to resolution. These programmatic changes ensure that design changes receive a thorough pre-installation review and that implementation related issues are properly addressed.
gag /gee The root causes for this event were: (1) that the nonsafety-related Fuel Oil Filter Polisher System design change documentation did not include a 10CFR50.59 Safety Evaluation or an adequate evaluation of the nonsafety-related to safety-related system interactions, and (2) Operating Procedure PPM 2.8.15 did not include procedural controls to assure that TSS 4.8.1.1.2.c fuel cleanliness and testing requirements were satisfied during system operation.
A contributing cause was that a special test procedure was not written to perform the Fuel Oil Filter Polisher System design change post modification test.
