SUBJECT: SEABROOK STATION, UNIT NO. 1 - NRC INTEGRATED INSPECTION | |||
REPORT 05000443/2014002 | |||
Dear Mr. Walsh: | |||
On March 31, 2014, the U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed an inspection | |||
at Seabrook Station, Unit No. 1. The enclosed inspection report documents the inspection | |||
results, which were discussed on April 10, 2014, with you and other members of your staff. | |||
The inspection examined activities conducted under your license as they relate to safety and | |||
compliance with the Commissions rules and regulations and with the conditions of your license. | |||
The inspectors reviewed selected procedures and records, observed activities, and interviewed | |||
personnel. | |||
This report documents one NRC-identified finding of very low safety significance (Green). This | |||
finding was determined to involve a violation of NRC requirements. However, because of the | |||
very low safety significance, and because it was entered into your corrective action program | |||
(CAP), the NRC is treating the finding as a non-cited violation (NCV), consistent with Section | |||
2.3.2.a of the NRC Enforcement Policy. If you contest the subject or severity of any NCV in this | |||
report, 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, Region I; the | |||
Director, Office of Enforcement, United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, | |||
DC 20555-0001; and the NRC Resident Inspector at Seabrook Station. In addition, if you | |||
disagree with the cross-cutting aspect assigned to the finding in this report, you should provide | |||
a response within 30 days of the date of this inspection report, with the basis for your | |||
disagreement, to the Regional Administrator, Region I, and the NRC Resident Inspector at | |||
Seabrook Station. | |||
Additionally, as we informed you in the most recent NRC integrated inspection report, cross- | |||
cutting aspects identified in the last six months of 2013 using the previous terminology were | |||
being converted in accordance with the cross-reference in Inspection Manual Chapter (IMC) | |||
0310. Section 4OA5 of the enclosed report documents the conversion of these cross-cutting | |||
Seabrook | K. Walsh 2 | ||
aspects which will be evaluated for cross-cutting themes and potential substantive cross-cutting | |||
issues in accordance with IMC 0305 starting with the 2014 mid-cycle assessment review. If you | |||
disagree with the cross-cutting aspect assigned, you should provide a response within 30 days | |||
of the date of this inspection report, with the basis for your disagreement, to the Regional | |||
Administrator, Region I, and the NRC Resident Inspector at Seabrook Station. | |||
In accordance with Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 2.390 of the NRCs Rules | |||
of Practice, a copy of this letter, its enclosure, and your response (if any) will be available | |||
electronically for public inspection in the NRCs Public Document Room or from the Publicly | |||
Available Records component of the NRCs Agencywide Documents Access Management | |||
System (ADAMS). ADAMS is accessible from the NRC website at http://www.nrc.gov/reading- | |||

Determinations and Functionality Assessments. | |||
This report covered a three-month period of inspection by resident inspectors and announced | |||
inspections performed by regional inspectors. Inspectors identified one finding of very low | |||
safety significance (Green), which was an NCV. The significance of most findings is indicated | |||
by their color (i.e., greater than Green, or Green, White, Yellow, Red) and determined using IMC | |||
0609, Significance Determination Process (SDP), dated June 2, 2011. Cross-cutting aspects | |||
are determined using IMC 0310, Components Within Cross-Cutting Areas, dated December | |||
19, 2013. All violations of NRC requirements are dispositioned in accordance with the NRCs | |||
Enforcement Policy, dated June 7, 2012. The NRCs program for overseeing the safe operation | |||
of commercial nuclear power reactors is described in NUREG-1649, Reactor Oversight | |||
Process, Revision 4. | |||
Cornerstone: Mitigating Systems | |||
Green. The inspectors identified an NCV of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion V, | |||
Procedures, because NextEra did not ensure adequate separation was maintained | |||
between temporary scaffolding and safety-related equipment. Specifically, six instances | |||
of scaffolding installed in the plant were identified with less than the minimum standoff | |||
distance to safety-related equipment specified in NextEra procedures and no corresponding | |||
engineering evaluation to support these deviations. NextEra entered this NCV into their | |||
CAP as AR 01933827 and assessed the six deviations for any impact on the associated | |||
safety-related systems. | |||
This performance deficiency was considered more than minor because it affected the | |||
protection against external factors attribute of the Mitigating Systems cornerstone and its | |||
objective to ensure the availability, reliability, and capability of systems that respond to | |||
initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences. Specifically, NextEra did not | |||
evaluate scaffolding installations when insufficient separation to safety-related equipment | |||
existed after procedural requirements were revised to a more restrictive value. Additionally, | |||
it was similar to example 4.a in IMC 0612, Appendix E, Examples of Minor Issues, which | |||
states that the issue of failing to appropriately evaluate scaffold installation as required by | |||
procedures is more than minor if the licensee routinely failed to perform engineering | |||
evaluations. The issue was evaluated in accordance with IMC 0609, Appendix A, The | |||
Significance Determination Process for Findings At-Power and determined to be of very low | |||
safety significance (Green), because it did not involve the loss or degradation of equipment | |||
or function specifically designed to mitigate a seismic event. This finding has a cross-cutting | |||
aspect in the area of Problem Identification and Resolution, Evaluation, because NextEra | |||
personnel did not perform an adequate extent of condition review after revision of their | |||
erection of scaffold procedure. This performance deficiency directly contributed to multiple | |||
instances of scaffold members erected within two inches of safety-related equipment without | |||
an engineering evaluation [P.2]. (Section 1R15) | |||

REPORT DETAILS | |||
Summary of Plant Status | |||
Seabrook operated essentially at full power for the entire assessment period, with the exception | |||
of minor downpowers for turbine control valve testing. However, on March 31, 2014, plant load | |||
was reduced to approximately 15% for turbine generator testing prior to a shutdown and entry | |||
a | into refueling outage No. 16 at midnight, March 31, 2014. Documents reviewed for each section | ||
of this inspection report are listed in the Attachment. | |||

Readiness for Impending Adverse Weather Conditions | |||
a. Inspection Scope | |||
The inspectors reviewed NextEras preparations for the onset of cold weather and snow | |||
on February 5, 2014. The inspectors reviewed the implementation of adverse weather | |||
preparation procedures before the onset of and during this adverse weather | |||
condition. The inspectors verified that operator actions defined in NextEras adverse | |||
weather procedure maintained the readiness of essential systems. The inspectors | |||
discussed readiness and staff availability for adverse weather response with operations | |||
and work control personnel. | |||
b. Findings | |||
No findings were identified. | |||
1R04 Equipment Alignment | |||
Partial System Walkdowns (71111.04Q - 3 samples) | |||
a. Inspection Scope | |||
The inspectors performed partial walkdowns of the following systems: | |||
'A' emergency diesel generator (EDG) while 'B' EDG was out of service (OOS) for | |||
annual maintenance on January 27, 2014 | |||
Supplemental emergency power system (SEPS) while 'A' EDG was OOS for annual | |||
maintenance on February 12, 2014 | |||
'A' emergency feedwater (EFW) pump return to service on March 26, 2014 | |||
The inspectors selected these systems based on their risk-significance relative to the | |||
reactor safety cornerstones at the time they were inspected. The inspectors reviewed | |||
applicable operating procedures, system diagrams, the Updated Final Safety Analysis | |||
Enclosure | |||
5 | |||
Report (UFSAR), technical specifications (TSs), work orders (WOs), condition reports, | |||
and the impact of ongoing work activities on redundant trains of equipment in order to | |||
identify conditions that could have impacted system performance of their intended safety | |||
functions. The inspectors also performed field walkdowns of accessible portions of the | |||
systems to verify system components and support equipment were aligned correctly and | |||
were operable. The inspectors examined the material condition of the components and | |||
observed operating parameters of equipment to verify that there were no deficiencies. | |||
The inspectors also reviewed whether NextEra staff had properly identified equipment | |||
issues and entered them into the CAP for resolution with the appropriate significance | |||
characterization. | |||
b. Findings | |||
No findings were identified. | |||
1R05 Fire Protection | |||
Resident Inspector Quarterly Walkdowns (71111.05Q - 5 samples) | |||
a. Inspection Scope | |||
The inspectors conducted tours of the areas listed below to assess the material | |||
condition and operational status of fire protection features. The inspectors verified | |||
that NextEra controlled combustible materials and ignition sources in accordance with | |||
administrative procedures. The inspectors verified that fire protection and suppression | |||
equipment was available for use as specified in the area pre-fire plan, and passive fire | |||
barriers were maintained in good material condition. The inspectors also verified that | |||
station personnel implemented compensatory measures for OOS, degraded, or | |||
inoperable fire protection equipment, as applicable, in accordance with procedures. | |||

1R06 Flood Protection Measures (71111.06 - 1 sample) | |||
Internal Flooding Review | |||
a. Inspection Scope | |||
The inspectors reviewed the UFSAR, the site flooding analysis, and plant procedures to | |||
assess susceptibilities involving internal flooding. The inspectors also reviewed the CAP | |||
to determine if NextEra identified and corrected flooding problems and whether operator | |||
actions for coping with flooding were adequate. The inspectors also focused on the B | |||
EDG building to verify the adequacy of equipment seals located below the flood line, | |||
floor and water penetration seals, watertight door seals, common drain lines and sumps, | |||
sump pumps, level alarms, control circuits, and temporary or removable flood barriers. | |||
b. Findings | |||
No findings were identified. | |||
1R11 Licensed Operator Requalification Program (71111.11 - 2 samples) | |||
.1 Quarterly Review of Licensed Operator Requalification Testing and Training | |||
a. Inspection Scope | |||
The inspectors observed licensed operator simulator training on January 23, 2014, | |||
which included simulated degraded equipment and subsequent equipment failures | |||
and initiators, which resulted in escalating degraded plant conditions that ensured | |||
implementation of emergency operating procedures by the operating crew, as well as | |||
implementation of the emergency plan. This emergency plan implementation included | |||
classification of specific events that warranted an Alert Event Declaration. The | |||
inspectors evaluated operator performance during the simulated event and verified | |||
completion of risk significant operator actions, including the use of abnormal and | |||
emergency operating procedures. The inspectors assessed the clarity and effectiveness | |||
of communications, implementation of actions in response to alarms and degrading plant | |||
conditions, and the oversight and direction provided by the control room supervisor. The | |||
inspectors verified the accuracy and timeliness of the emergency classification made by | |||
the shift manager and the TS action statements entered by the control room supervisor. | |||
Additionally, the inspectors assessed the ability of the crew and training staff to identify | |||
and document crew performance problems. | |||
b. Findings | |||
No findings were identified. | |||
.2 Quarterly Review of Licensed Operator Performance in the Main Control Room | |||
a. Inspection Scope | |||
The inspectors observed general control room activities, including alarm response and | |||
control room shift turnovers, conducted on January 13, 2014, March 14, 2014 and | |||
Enclosure | |||
7 | |||
March 27, 2014. Additionally the inspectors observed turbine control valve testing on | |||
January 17, 2014, engineered safety features actuation system (ESFAS) relay testing | |||
on January 27, 2014, operator response to a failed open B steam generator feed | |||
regulating bypass valve on March 14, 2014, and restoration from enclosure building | |||
exhaust fan EAH-FN-4A testing on March 19, 2014. The inspectors observed test | |||
performance to verify that procedure use, crew communications, and coordination of | |||
activities between work groups similarly met established expectations and standards. | |||
b. Findings | |||
No findings were identified. | |||
1R12 Maintenance Effectiveness (71111.12 - 2 samples) | |||
a. Inspection Scope | |||
The inspectors reviewed the samples listed below to assess the effectiveness of | |||
maintenance activities on structure, system, or component (SSC) performance and | |||
reliability. The inspectors reviewed system health reports, CAP documents, | |||
maintenance WOs, and maintenance rule (MR) basis documents to ensure that | |||
NextEra was identifying and properly evaluating performance problems within the scope | |||
of the MR. For each sample selected, the inspectors verified that the SSC was properly | |||
scoped into the MR in accordance with 10 CFR 50.65 and verified that the (a)(2) | |||
performance criteria established by NextEra staff was reasonable. As applicable, for | |||
SSCs classified as (a)(1), the inspectors assessed the adequacy of goals and corrective | |||
actions to return these SSCs to (a)(2). Additionally, the inspectors ensured that NextEra | |||
staff was identifying and addressing common cause failures that occurred within and | |||
across MR system boundaries. | |||
SW pump P-41C increased vibration trending in January 2014 | |||

b. Findings | |||
No findings were identified. | |||
1R13 Maintenance Risk Assessments and Emergent Work Control (71111.13 - 5 samples) | |||
a. Inspection Scope | |||
The inspectors reviewed station evaluation and management of plant risk for the | |||
maintenance and emergent work activities listed below to verify that NextEra performed | |||
the appropriate risk assessments prior to removing equipment for work. The inspectors | |||
selected these activities based on potential risk significance relative to the reactor safety | |||
cornerstones. As applicable for each activity, the inspectors verified that NextEra | |||
personnel performed risk assessments as required by 10 CFR 50.65(a)(4) and that the | |||
assessments were accurate and complete. When NextEra performed emergent work, | |||
the inspectors verified that operations personnel promptly assessed and managed plant | |||
risk. The inspectors reviewed the scope of maintenance work and discussed the results | |||
of the assessment with the stations probabilistic risk analyst to verify plant conditions | |||
Enclosure | |||
8 | |||
were consistent with the risk assessment. The inspectors also reviewed the TS | |||
requirements and inspected portions of redundant safety systems, when applicable, | |||
to verify risk analysis assumptions were valid and applicable requirements were met. | |||
RHR system valve maintenance and testing on January 14, 2014 | |||
ESFAS relay testing on January 15, 2014 | |||

b. Findings | |||
No findings were identified. | |||
1R15 Operability Determinations and Functionality Assessments (71111.15 - 7 samples) | |||
a. Inspection Scope | |||
The inspectors reviewed operability determinations for the following degraded or non- | |||
conforming conditions: | |||
East and west pipe chase low temperature impact on feedwater isolation valve | |||
operability on January 3, 2014 | |||
Operability of safety-related equipment in close proximity to temporary scaffolding on | |||
January 16, 2014 | |||
Service water pumphouse seismic monitor non-functional following monthly testing | |||
on January 24, 2014 | |||
Containment enclosure ventilation area seal gaps identified on January 28, 2014 | |||
'A' EDG did not trip on overspeed during return to service testing on February 14, 2014 | |||
Reactor coolant system (RCS) leakage into the RHR system on March 13, 2014 | |||
Turbine-driven EFW pump P-37B oil leak identified during testing on March 19, 2014 | |||
The inspectors selected these issues based on the risk significance of the associated | |||
components and systems. The inspectors evaluated the technical adequacy of the | |||
operability determinations to assess whether TS operability was properly justified and | |||
the subject component or system remained available such that no unrecognized | |||
increase in risk occurred. The inspectors compared the operability and design criteria in | |||
the appropriate sections of the TSs and UFSAR to NextEras evaluations to determine | |||
whether the components or systems were operable. Where compensatory measures | |||
were required to maintain operability, the inspectors determined whether the measures | |||
in place would function as intended and were properly controlled by NextEra. The | |||
inspectors determined, where appropriate, compliance with bounding limitations | |||
associated with the evaluations. | |||
b. Findings | |||
Introduction. The inspectors identified a Green NCV of 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, | |||
Criterion V, Procedures, because NextEra did not ensure adequate separation was | |||
maintained between temporary scaffolding and safety-related equipment. Specifically, | |||
Enclosure | |||
9 | |||
six instances of scaffolding installed in the plant were identified with less than the | |||
minimum standoff distance to safety-related equipment specified in NextEra procedures | |||
and no corresponding engineering evaluation to support these deviations. | |||
Description. 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion V, requires that activities affecting quality | |||
be prescribed by documented procedures and be accomplished in accordance with | |||
those procedures. When used in the plant, the design and installation of temporary | |||
scaffolding must be controlled to ensure that it is not installed too close to safety-related | |||
equipment. During a seismic event, scaffolding installed too close to safety-related | |||
equipment can come into contact with that equipment, cause damage to it, and affect its | |||
safety function. NextEra procedures control the installation of temporary scaffolding at | |||
Seabrook by specifying a minimum separation between scaffolding and safety-related | |||
equipment, and by requiring an engineering evaluation when the minimum separation | |||
cannot be met. | |||
NextEra mechanical maintenance procedure, MS0599.47, Erection of Scaffolding, | |||
Revision 2, states that members of scaffolding erected adjacent to operable safety- | |||
related equipment shall not be less than two inches unless justified by an Engineering | |||
Evaluation. MS0599.47 was revised in February 2013, and the requirement for scaffold | |||
separation from operable safety-related equipment was changed from ...should not be | |||
less than 2 inches and in no case less than 1/2 inch without an engineering evaluation to | |||
...shall not be less than 2 inches unless justified by engineering evaluation. | |||
While performing a plant walkdown on January 15, 2014, the inspectors identified | |||
temporary scaffold members installed less than two inches from the A Containment | |||
Building Spray (CBS) pump discharge and suction lines. The A CBS pump and its | |||
associated piping are classified as safety-related equipment and were operable at the | |||
time. The identified scaffold did not include an engineering evaluation that provided | |||
acceptance of separation of less than two inches. Subsequent plant walkdowns by | |||
NextEra personnel identified five additional instances of scaffolding installed less than | |||
two inches from operable safety-related equipment without an associated engineering | |||
evaluation. NextEra personnel determined that an inadequate extent of condition review | |||
following the February 2013 revision of MS0599.47, resulted in scaffolding being staged | |||
in the plant at less than the new, more restrictive scaffold separation requirement of two | |||
inches. Having identified multiple instances where NextEra personnel had not complied | |||
with the separation requirement of the scaffolding procedure, the inspectors concluded | |||
that NextEra had not been adequately controlling the design and installation of | |||
temporary scaffolding. | |||
NextEra entered the additional instances of inadequate separation identified during their | |||
independent walkdowns into the CAP. All discrepancies were corrected and assessed | |||
for any potential impact to the operability or functionality of affected systems. The | |||
inspectors reviewed the CRs and determined that the safety function of each system | |||
potentially impacted by temporary scaffolding, including those identified by the | |||
inspectors and NextEra, would not have been affected during a seismic event. | |||
Analysis. The inspectors determined that not providing adequate separation between | |||
temporary scaffolding and safety-related equipment without an engineering basis was | |||
a performance deficiency within NextEras ability to foresee and correct. Specifically, | |||
several scaffold members were observed within two inches of safety-related equipment | |||
without an engineering evaluation as specified by current procedural requirements. | |||
Enclosure | |||
10 | |||
This performance deficiency was considered more than minor because it affected the | |||
protection against external factors attribute of the Mitigating System cornerstone and its | |||
objective to ensure the availability, reliability, and capability of systems that respond to | |||
initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences. Specifically, NextEra did not | |||
evaluate scaffolding installation when insufficient separation to safety-related equipment | |||
existed after procedural requirements were revised to a more restrictive value. | |||
Additionally, it was similar to example 4.a in IMC 0612, Appendix E, Examples of Minor | |||
Issues, which states that the issue of failing to appropriately evaluate scaffold | |||
installation as required by procedures is more than minor if the licensee routinely failed | |||
to perform engineering evaluations. The issue was evaluated in accordance with IMC | |||
0609, Appendix A, The Significance Determination Process for Findings At-Power and | |||
determined to be of very low safety significance (Green) since it did not involve the loss | |||
or degradation of equipment or function specifically designed to mitigate a seismic event. | |||
This finding is related to the cross-cutting area of Problem Identification and Resolution- | |||
Evaluation, because NextEra did not thoroughly evaluate issues to ensure that | |||
resolutions address causes and extent of conditions commensurate with their safety | |||
significance (P.2). Specifically, NextEra personnel did not perform an adequate extent | |||
of condition review after revision of their erection of scaffolding procedure. This | |||
performance deficiency directly contributed to multiple instances of scaffolding members | |||
erected within two inches of safety-related equipment without an engineering evaluation. | |||
Enforcement. 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion V, requires, in part, that activities | |||
affecting quality shall be prescribed by documented procedures and shall be | |||
accomplished in accordance with those procedures. NextEra mechanical maintenance | |||
procedure, MS0599.47, Erection of Scaffolding, Revision 2, states that members of | |||
scaffolding erected adjacent to operable safety-related equipment shall not be less than | |||
two inches from the equipment unless justified by an Engineering Evaluation. Contrary | |||
to the above, on January 15, 2014, the inspectors identified that certain activities | |||
affecting quality at Seabrook were not accomplished in accordance with documented | |||
procedures. Specifically, following a revision of the minimum scaffolding separation | |||
requirement in February 2013, multiple instances of scaffolding outside of the new | |||
requirements were left uncorrected and engineering evaluations were not completed. | |||
Installation of temporary scaffolding in the vicinity of safety-related equipment has the | |||
potential to adversely affect that equipments performance during a seismic event | |||
because it was installed with insufficient standoff distance. After the issue was identified | |||
by the inspectors, NextEra performed independent walkdowns of all scaffolding, | |||
identifying five additional instances of inadequate separation distance. All identified | |||
discrepancies were corrected or evaluated as adequate. Because this violation is of | |||
very low safety significance (Green) and NextEra entered this into their CAP (AR | |||
01933827), this violation is being treated as an NCV consistent with the Enforcement | |||
Policy. (NCV 05000443/2014002-01, Scaffolding Installed with Insufficient | |||
Separation to Safety Related Equipment) | |||
1R18 Plant Modifications (71111.18 - 1 sample) | |||
Permanent Modifications | |||
a. Inspection Scope | |||
The inspectors evaluated a modification that replaced the SW flow element to the A | |||
EDG jacket water cooler implemented under engineering change EC280824, and | |||
Enclosure | |||
11 | |||
completed on February 13, 2014. The inspectors verified that the design and licensing | |||
bases, as well as the performance capability of the affected SW train and associated | |||
components were not degraded by the modification. The inspectors reviewed | |||
associated modification documents, which included topic notes, implementation work | |||
order instructions, equivalent change revisions, applicable interface documents (for | |||
example, drawings), and applicable post-modification testing. | |||
b. Findings | |||
No findings were identified. | |||
1R19 Post-Maintenance Testing (71111.19 - 6 samples) | |||
a. Inspection Scope | |||
The inspectors reviewed the post-maintenance tests for the maintenance activities listed | |||
below to verify that procedures and test activities ensured system operability and | |||
functional capability. The inspectors reviewed the test procedure to verify that the | |||
procedure adequately tested the safety functions that may have been affected by the | |||
maintenance activity, that the acceptance criteria in the procedure was consistent with | |||
the information in the applicable licensing basis and/or design basis documents, and that | |||
the procedure had been properly reviewed and approved. The inspectors also | |||
witnessed the test or reviewed test data to verify that the test results adequately | |||
demonstrated restoration of the affected safety functions. | |||

1R22 Surveillance Testing (71111.22 - 7 samples) | |||
a. Inspection Scope | |||
The inspectors observed performance of surveillance tests and/or reviewed test data of | |||
selected risk-significant SSCs to assess whether test results satisfied TSs, the UFSAR, | |||
and NextEra procedure requirements. The inspectors verified that test acceptance | |||
criteria were clear, tests demonstrated operational readiness and were consistent with | |||
design documentation, test instrumentation had current calibrations and the range and | |||
accuracy for the application, tests were performed as written, and applicable test | |||
prerequisites were satisfied. Upon test completion, the inspectors considered whether | |||
the test results supported that equipment was capable of performing the required safety | |||
functions. The inspectors reviewed the following surveillance tests: | |||

Cornerstone: Emergency Preparedness | |||
1EP4 Emergency Action Level and Emergency Plan Changes (71114.04 - 1 sample) | |||
Emergency Preparedness Drill Observation | |||
a. Inspection Scope | |||
NextEra implemented various changes to the Seabrook Emergency Action Levels | |||
(EALs), Emergency Plan, and Implementing Procedures. NextEra had determined that, | |||
in accordance with 10 CFR 50.54(q)(3), any change made to the EALs, Emergency | |||
Plan, and its lower-tier implementing procedures, had not resulted in any reduction in | |||
effectiveness of the Plan, and that the revised Plan continued to meet the standards in | |||
50.47(b) and the requirements of 10 CFR 50, Appendix E. | |||
The inspectors performed an in-office review of all EAL and Emergency Plan changes | |||
submitted by NextEra as required by 10 CFR 50.54(q)(5), including the changes to | |||
lower-tier emergency plan implementing procedures, to evaluate for any potential | |||
reductions in effectiveness of the Emergency Plan. This review by the inspectors was | |||
not documented in an NRC Safety Evaluation Report and does not constitute formal | |||
NRC approval of the changes. Therefore, these changes remain subject to future NRC | |||
inspection in their entirety. The requirements in 10 CFR 50.54(q) were used as | |||
reference criteria. | |||
b. Findings | |||
No findings were identified. | |||
1EP6 Drill Evaluation (71114.06 - 2 samples) | |||
.1 Emergency Preparedness Drill Observation | |||
a. Inspection Scope | |||
The inspectors evaluated a routine NextEra emergency drill on March 12, 2014, to | |||
identify any weaknesses and deficiencies in the event classification and notification | |||
Enclosure | |||
13 | |||
activities. The inspectors observed emergency response operations in the simulator and | |||
technical support center to determine whether the event classification and notification | |||
activities were performed in accordance with procedures. The inspectors also attended | |||
the individual facility drill critique to compare inspector observations with those identified | |||
by NextEra staff, to evaluate NextEras critique and to verify whether NextEra staff was | |||
properly identifying weaknesses and entering them into the CAP. | |||
b. Findings | |||
No findings were identified. | |||
.2 Emergency Preparedness Training Observations | |||
a. Inspection Scope | |||
The inspectors observed a simulator training evolution for Unit 1 licensed operators on | |||
January 23, 2014, which involved simulated emergency plan implementation by an | |||
operations crew. NextEra planned for this evolution to be evaluated and included in | |||
performance indicator data regarding drill and exercise performance. The inspectors | |||
observed event classification and notification activities performed by the crew. The | |||
inspectors also attended the post-evolution critique for the scenario. The focus of the | |||
inspectors activities was to note any weaknesses and deficiencies in the crews | |||
performance and ensure that NextEra evaluators noted the same issues and entered | |||
them into the CAP. | |||
b. Findings | |||
No findings were identified. | |||
2. RADIATION SAFETY | |||
Cornerstone: Public Radiation Safety | |||
2RS1 Radiological Hazard Assessment and Exposure Controls (71124.01) | |||
a. Inspection Scope | |||
From March 4 to March 8, 2014, the inspectors reviewed NextEras performance in | |||
assessing the radiological hazards and exposure control in the workplace. The | |||
inspectors used the requirements in 10 CFR Part 20 and guidance in Regulatory Guide | |||
(RG) 8.38, Control of Access to High and Very High Radiation Areas for Nuclear Plants, | |||
TSs, and the NextEra procedures required by TSs, as criteria for determining | |||
compliance. | |||
Inspection Planning | |||
The inspectors reviewed 2013 NextEra performance indicators for the occupational | |||
exposure cornerstone for Seabrook Nuclear Station. The inspectors reviewed the | |||
results of radiation protection program audits. The inspectors reviewed any reports of | |||
operational occurrences related to occupational radiation safety since the last inspection. | |||
Enclosure | |||
14 | |||
Radiological Hazard Assessment | |||
The inspectors determined if there have been changes to plant operations since the last | |||
inspection that may result in significant new radiological hazards. The inspectors | |||
evaluated whether NextEra assessed the potential impact of these changes and has | |||
implemented periodic monitoring, as appropriate, to detect and quantify the radiological | |||
hazard. | |||
The inspectors reviewed the last two radiological surveys from the Fuel Transfer Canal | |||
and Letdown Line in the Demineralizer Alley. The inspectors evaluated whether the | |||
thoroughness and frequency of the surveys were appropriate for the given new | |||
radiological hazard. | |||
The inspectors conducted walk-downs and independent radiation measurements in the | |||
facility, including radioactive waste processing, storage, and handling areas to evaluate | |||
material and radiological conditions. | |||
The inspectors reviewed one risk-significant work activity that involved exposure to | |||
radiation. This activity was the initial entry, survey and decontamination of the fuel | |||
transfer canal following the second dry spent fuel storage cask loading campaign. For | |||
this work activity, the inspectors assessed whether the pre-work surveys performed were | |||
appropriate to identify and quantify the radiological hazard and to establish adequate | |||
protective measures. The inspectors evaluated the radiological survey program to | |||
determine if radiological hazards were properly identified (e.g., discrete radioactive hot | |||
particles, transuranics and hard to detect nuclides in air samples, transient dose rates | |||
and large gradients in radiation dose rates). | |||
The inspectors observed work in potential airborne radioactivity areas, and evaluated | |||
whether the air samples from the fuel transfer canal air sample locations were | |||
representative of the breathing air zone and were properly evaluated. | |||
Instructions to Workers | |||
The inspectors selected three containers of radioactive materials and assessed whether | |||
the containers were labeled and controlled in accordance with 10 CFR Part 20 | |||
requirements. | |||
The inspectors reviewed the following radiation work permits (RWP) used to access high | |||
radiation areas (HRA) and evaluated if the specified work control instructions and control | |||
barriers were consistent with TS requirements for HRA. | |||
RWP 14-0015 High Integrity Container/Liner Shipping Preparation to include | |||
Capping, Weighing and Transfer to Waste Processing Building, January 1, 2014 | |||
RWP 14-0022 Inspect CS Valves inside Letdown Valve Room at Power, | |||
January 15, 2014 | |||
RWP 14-0027 Primary Auxiliary Building Demineralizer Alley Work/Entry, | |||
December 31, 2013 | |||
RWP 14-0058 Fuel Storage Building Transfer Canal Radiation Protection Survey, | |||
Decontamination and Maintenance Support Activities, March 2, 2014 | |||
Enclosure | |||
15 | |||
For these RWPs, the inspectors assessed whether allowable stay-times or permissible | |||
dose for radiologically significant work under each RWP were clearly identified. The | |||
inspectors evaluated whether electronic personnel dosimeter (EPD) alarm set-points | |||
were in conformance with survey indications and plant procedural requirements. | |||
The inspectors reviewed two occurrences where a workers EPD malfunctioned or | |||
alarmed. The inspectors evaluated whether workers responded appropriately. The | |||
inspectors assessed whether the issue was included in the corrective action program | |||
and whether compensatory dose evaluations were conducted as appropriate. | |||
For work activities that could suddenly increase radiological conditions, the inspectors | |||
assessed the NextEra means to inform workers of these changes. | |||
Contamination and Radioactive Material Control | |||
The inspectors reviewed NextEras criteria for the survey and release of potentially | |||
contaminated material. The inspectors evaluated whether there was sufficient | |||
procedural guidance on alarm response. | |||
The inspectors reviewed NextEras procedures and records to verify that the radiation | |||
detection instrumentation was used at an appropriate sensitivity level. The inspectors | |||
selected six sealed sources from the NextEra inventory records and reviewed whether | |||
the sources were accounted for and were tested for loose surface contamination. | |||
The inspectors evaluated whether any recent transactions involving nationally tracked | |||
sources were reported in accordance with 10 CFR Part 20 requirements. | |||
Radiological Hazards Control and Work Coverage | |||
The inspectors evaluated ambient radiological conditions and performed independent | |||
radiation measurements during walk-downs of the facility. The inspectors assessed | |||
whether the conditions were consistent with applicable posted surveys, RWPs, and | |||
associated worker briefings. | |||
The inspectors examined NextEra physical and programmatic controls for highly | |||
activated or contaminated materials stored within spent fuel and other storage pools. | |||
The inspectors assessed whether appropriate controls were in place to preclude | |||
inadvertent removal of these materials from the pool. | |||
The inspectors examined the posting and physical controls for selected HRAs, locked | |||
high radiation area (LHRA) and very high radiation areas (VHRA) to verify conformance | |||
with the occupational performance indicator. | |||
Risk-Significant HRA and VHRA Controls | |||
The inspectors discussed with the Radiation Protection Manager (RPM) the controls and | |||
procedures for high-risk HRAs and VHRAs. The inspectors assessed whether any | |||
changes to NextEra relevant procedures reduce the effectiveness of worker protection. | |||
Enclosure | |||
of | 16 | ||
The inspectors evaluated NextEra controls for VHRAs and areas with the potential to | |||
become a VHRA to ensure that an individual was not able to gain unauthorized access | |||
to these areas. | |||
Problem Identification and Resolution | |||
The inspectors evaluated whether problems associated with radiation monitoring and | |||
exposure control were being identified by NextEra at an appropriate threshold and were | |||
properly addressed for resolution in the licensees corrective action program. The | |||
inspectors assessed the appropriateness of the corrective actions for problems | |||
documented by NextEra that involve radiation monitoring and exposure controls. The | |||
inspectors assessed NextEra processes for applying operating experience to their plant. | |||
b. Findings | |||
No findings were identified. | |||
2RS2 Occupational ALARA Planning and Controls (71124.02) | |||
a. Inspection Scope | |||
The inspectors assessed performance with respect to maintaining occupational | |||
individual and collective radiation exposures as low as is reasonably achievable | |||
(ALARA). The inspectors used the requirements in 10 CFR Part 20, RG 8.8, | |||
Information Relevant to Ensuring that Occupational Radiation Exposures at Nuclear | |||
Power Plants will be As Low As Is Reasonably Achievable, RG 8.10, Operating | |||
Philosophy for Maintaining Occupational Radiation Exposure As Low as Is Reasonably | |||
Achievable, TSs, and NextEra procedures required by TSs, as criteria for determining | |||
compliance. | |||
Inspection Planning | |||
The inspectors reviewed information regarding Seabrooks collective dose history, | |||
current exposure trends, and ongoing or planned activities in order to assess current | |||
performance and exposure challenges. The inspectors reviewed the plants three year | |||
rolling average collective radiation exposure. | |||
The inspectors compared the site-specific trends in collective exposures against the | |||
industry average values and from similar nuclear power plants. In addition, the | |||
inspectors reviewed any changes in the radioactive source term by reviewing the trend | |||
in average contact dose rate with reactor coolant piping and steam generator primary | |||
channel head space and manways. The inspectors reviewed site-specific procedures | |||
associated with maintaining occupational exposures ALARA, which included a review of | |||
processes used to estimate and track exposures from specific work activities. | |||
Radiological Work Planning | |||
The inspectors assessed whether NextEra planning identified appropriate dose | |||
reduction techniques; considered alternate dose reduction features; and estimated | |||
reasonable dose goals. The inspectors evaluated whether NextEras ALARA | |||
assessment had taken into account decreased worker efficiency from use of respiratory | |||
protective devices and/or heat stress mitigation equipment. The inspectors determined | |||
Enclosure | |||
17 | |||
Cornerstone | whether NextEra work planning considered the use of remote technologies as a means | ||
to reduce dose and the use of dose reduction insights from industry operating | |||
experience and plant-specific lessons learned. The inspectors assessed the integration | |||
of ALARA requirements into work procedure and RWP documents. | |||
Source Term Reduction and Control | |||
The inspectors used licensee records to determine the historical trends and current | |||
status of plant source term known to contribute to elevated facility collective dose. The | |||
inspectors assessed whether the licensee had developed contingency plans for | |||
expected changes in the source term as the result of changes in plant fuel performance | |||
issues or changes in plant primary chemistry. | |||
Problem Identification and Resolution | |||
The inspectors evaluated whether problems associated with ALARA planning and | |||
controls are being identified by the licensee at an appropriate threshold and were | |||
properly addressed for resolution in the licensees corrective action program. The | |||
inspectors assessed NextEras process for applying operating experience to their plant. | |||
b. Findings | |||
No findings were identified. | |||
4. OTHER ACTIVITIES | |||
4OA1 Performance Indicator Verification (71151) | |||
Unplanned Scrams, Unplanned Power Changes, and Unplanned Scrams with | |||
Complications (3 samples) | |||
a. Inspection Scope | |||
The inspectors reviewed NextEras submittals for the following Initiating Events | |||
Cornerstone performance indicators for the period of January 1, 2013 through | |||
December 31, 2013. | |||
Unplanned scrams per 7000 critical hours | |||
Unplanned scrams with complications | |||
Unplanned power changes per 7000 critical hours | |||
To determine the accuracy of the performance indicator data reported during those | |||
periods, inspectors used definitions and guidance contained in Nuclear Energy Institute | |||
(NEI) Document 99-02, Regulatory Assessment Performance Indicator Guideline, | |||
Revision 6. The inspectors reviewed NextEras operator narrative logs, event reports, | |||
and NRC integrated inspection reports to validate the accuracy of the submittals. | |||

.1 Routine Review of Problem Identification and Resolution Activities | |||
a. Inspection Scope | |||
As required by Inspection Procedure 71152, Problem Identification and Resolution, the | |||
inspectors routinely reviewed issues during baseline inspection activities and plant | |||
status reviews to verify that NextEra entered issues into the CAP at an appropriate | |||
threshold, gave adequate attention to timely corrective actions, and identified and | |||
addressed adverse trends. In order to assist with the identification of repetitive | |||
equipment failures and specific human performance issues for follow-up, the inspectors | |||
performed a daily screening of items entered into the CAP and periodically attended | |||
condition report screening meetings. | |||
b. Findings | |||
No findings were identified. | |||
.2 Annual Sample: Increasing Frequency of Leaks in Service Water Piping in the Vicinity of | |||
Installation/Fabrication Welds | |||
a. Inspection Scope | |||
During the period January 27 to January 31, 2014, inspectors reviewed a root cause | |||
evaluation (RCE AR 16379222) completed by NextEra staff for a service water pipe leak | |||
that occurred in August 2013. This problem was described in a licensee event report | |||
submitted to the NRC dated December 23, 2013. The inspectors determined the | |||
effectiveness of actions by NextEra staff to identify, characterize, correct and prevent | |||
reoccurrence of SW system leaks. | |||
The inspectors assessed problem identification threshold, apparent cause analysis, | |||
extent of condition reviews, and timeliness of corrective actions. The inspectors | |||
reviewed documents listed in the Attachment to this report and interviewed NextEra | |||
engineering personnel to assess the effectiveness of the planned, scheduled, and | |||
completed corrective actions to resolve the identified deficiency. | |||
The inspectors reviewed non-destructive test procedures, procedure qualifications | |||
including test personnel qualifications to determine compliance with the applicable | |||
American Society of Mechanical Engineers codes and standards. Also, the inspectors | |||
reviewed system health reports, work orders, procurement documents, drawings and | |||
photographs to determine if the nonconforming condition was appropriately identified, | |||
documented, characterized and entered into NextEras corrective action process. | |||
The inspectors reviewed root cause evaluation AR 16379222 and interviewed members | |||
of the evaluation team. The inspectors interviewed the qualified non-destructive test | |||
examiner to evaluate the ultrasonic test method used. Test results were reviewed with | |||
the test examiner to assess the remaining wall thickness for continued operation without | |||
encroaching on minimum wall requirements. | |||
Enclosure | |||
19 | |||
b. Findings and Observations | |||
No findings were identified. The root cause evaluation and corrective actions were | |||
reasonable, appropriate and timely. | |||
NextEras root cause evaluation addressed a history of SW degradation (corrosion/ | |||
erosion) resulting in wall thinning and pressure boundary penetration and leakage. The | |||
areas where wall thinning and leakage occurred was determined to be associated with | |||
the loss of protective coating and/or liner failure at fabrication/installation welds which | |||
typically results in turbulent fluid flow. This turbulent flow was particularly aggressive in | |||
the attack of base metals and protective coatings at these weld locations and | |||
configuration changes. The inspectors assessed the root cause determination, results of | |||
the extent of condition investigation of other locations within the SW system and other | |||
fluid (circulating water) systems with similar piping materials, operating parameters and | |||
configurations. | |||
The inspectors noted that examination using ultrasonic testing was performed at | |||
selected locations with known change in flow patterns and velocity changes. The results | |||
of this testing identified areas exhibiting variable wear rates. An evaluation of these test | |||
results was made to determine pipe structural and pressure retaining integrity. | |||
The inspectors visually examined several portions of previous SW pipe and fittings that | |||
had been removed from the SW system in prior outages due to identified leaks. The | |||
removed samples provided confirmatory evidence of corrosive/erosive attack from | |||
turbulent flow at root locations of field welds, configuration changes and pipe to fitting | |||
intersections. These locations revealed characteristic pin hole leaks at weld locations | |||
of | and a general wastage of pipe and fitting interior diameters. These locations were | ||
evaluated for compliance with minimum wall thickness requirements. Those locations | |||
which were identified as active leaks at weld locations or, where areas exhibiting loss | |||
of wall thickness and were encroaching on minimum wall requirements, were | |||
dispositioned for repair/replacement in the CAP. | |||
The inspectors determined that this issue received appropriate management attention as | |||
indicated by the corrective action that was taken to perform a temporary leak repair by | |||
the installation of a weldolet encapsulating the leak location. At the next outage, (OR16) | |||
the weldolet will be removed and replaced with a more suitable flush patch. The patch | |||
will be coated internally with a corrosion/erosion resistant material. The inspectors | |||
discussed the licensee plans to systematically remove and replace the SW piping with a | |||
base metal that is significantly more resistant to erosion/corrosion attack. The | |||
inspectors examined numerous lengths of pipe and fittings which were staged for | |||
replacement in the plant during the April 2014 refueling outage and subsequent outages. | |||
.3 Annual Sample: Review of Activities Associated with Alkali Silica Reaction Affected | |||
Structures | |||
a. Inspection Scope | |||
March 12 to 13, NRC inspectors from Region I and a structural engineer from the | |||
Division of License Renewal, NRR, witnessed testing conducted at the Ferguson | |||
Structural Engineering Laboratory (FSEL) at the University of Texas - Austin. The | |||
testing was conducted in support of the Seabrook Alkali-Silica Reaction (ASR) | |||
Enclosure | |||
20 | |||
1. | Integrated Corrective Action Plan. Specifically, the inspectors witnessed load testing of | ||
the control beam for reinforcement anchorage (lap-splice) capacity. The testing was | |||
performed in accordance with MPR Project 0326-0063, Procedure 5-7, Structural | |||
Testing of Shear and Anchorage Specimens, Revision 1. | |||
The inspectors also reviewed the results of the December 2013, Combined Crack | |||
Indexing (CCI) measurements and the supporting engineering analysis. Proprietary data | |||
sheets and associated evaluations were made available for inspector review. | |||
Additionally, the inspectors review included discussions with the responsible Seabrook | |||
engineers, as well as petrography specialists consulting for the University of Texas | |||
Ferguson Structural Engineering Laboratory | |||
Lastly, the inspectors reviewed NextEras revised Prompt Operability Determinations | |||
(PODs) that address additional Seabrook structures identified as being affected by ASR | |||
via the Phase 3 ASR walkdown program. | |||
b. Findings and Observations | |||
The inspectors identified no findings. | |||
Review of CCI and Crack Width Measurements | |||
The inspectors examined the December 2013 CCI measurement results documented in | |||
Foreign Print (FP) 100847 and FP 100848, dated January 30, 2014. As documented in | |||
these NextEra reports, there are 32 areas currently being monitored for ASR progression | |||
using the CCI and crack width methodology. As of December 2013, 26 of the 32 areas | |||
have been monitored on a six-month basis for approximately two years. Based upon the | |||
data collected to date, NextEra has concluded the following: 1) the data suggests a slow | |||
increasing trend in CCI and crack width over the past two years; 2) at 14 interior ASR | |||
locations, the horizontal and vertical CCI data indicates an overall upward trend (an | |||
average increase of 0.04 mm/m, with a measurement tolerance of 0.05 mm); 3) at nine | |||
exterior locations, the horizontal and vertical CCI data indicates no significant change | |||
over the two-year period; 4) the six floor/ceiling/roof locations indicate flat to upward | |||
trends early in the period, but no change later in the two-year period; and, 5) some | |||
fluctuation in the measured CCI and crack width values have been observed. The | |||
fluctuations may be attributed to thermal effects, cyclic or constant moisture exposure, | |||
measurement device accuracy, or the condition of the measured surfaces as impacted | |||
by cleaning/preparation and weathering effects. Independent inspector review of CCI | |||
and crack width measurement data and photographs of selected areas confirmed | |||
NextEras conclusions. As stated in FP 100847 and FP 100848, NextEra will continue | |||
the six-month data collection to comply with the Structures Monitoring Program and | |||
validate these observed ASR progression trends. | |||
Review of Operability Determinations | |||
Based on the result of recent Phase 3 walkdowns, NextEra identified six additional areas | |||
with CCI > 1.0 millimeter per meter (mm/m). In accordance with the Seabrook | |||
Structures Monitoring Program (SMP), NextEra staff completed evaluations of the | |||
affected structures to assess the potential impact of ASR on continued operability. The | |||
six additional areas identified with a CCI value greater than 1.0 mm/m were: cooling | |||
tower exterior (elevation 25, reference CTE-02); primary auxiliary building (PAB) | |||
Enclosure | |||
21 | |||
penetration area (elevation -26, reference MF105-01); west pipe chase (elevation 12, | |||
reference MF202-02); and three areas in electrical manholes (below grade elevations, | |||
reference CI-W03-Wall, CI-W05-Wall, and CI-W11-Wall). The structural evaluations | |||
were documented as Supplement IV and V to FP 100716, Seabrook Station: Impact of | |||
ASR on Concrete Structures and Attachments, and utilized the same design capacity | |||
versus calculated demand margin analysis approach as the previously completed PODs | |||
(reference Section 9.1, NRC Inspection Report 05000443/2012010). Inspector review of | |||
the six additional ASR-affected area PODs concluded that the impacted structures have | |||
adequate strength margin available and are fully capable of performing their safety | |||
functions. | |||
Control Beam Testing Observations | |||
The inspectors witnessed the performance of load testing of the first control beam (a | |||
specimen that has not undergone ASR aging). The beam (A-7, reinforcement | |||
anchorage control specimen) was tested in accordance with MPR Project 0326-0063, | |||
Procedure 5-7, Structural Testing of Shear and Anchorage Specimens, Revision 1, on | |||
March 13, 2014. Beam failure occurred at a load of approximately 251,000 pounds, as | |||
compared to the estimated failure load of 214,000 pounds. The failure load was slightly | |||
higher than the estimated design capacity, but within the accuracy of the design | |||
calculations. No test anomalies were identified. The results of the control beam test will | |||
be used to compare subsequent ASR-affected specimen tests to evaluate the impact of | |||
ASR degradation on structural performance. The inspectors observed proper procedural | |||
adherence, good test coordination and proper communications and safety practices | |||
exhibited by the testing staff, supervisory personnel and quality assurance overseers. | |||
The inspectors verified proper testing preparations and quality control oversight as | |||
specified by MPR Project 0326-0063, Procedure 5-6, General Preparation of Test | |||
Facilities and Specimens, Revision 2, and MPR Procedure 0326-0062-46, Procedure | |||
for In-process Inspections of FSEL Reinforcement Anchorage Test Setup for Seabrook | |||
Station, Revision 0. | |||
Initial Test Specimen ASR Expansion Results | |||
NextEra and the UT-Austin FSEL staff have observed in the large-scale test specimens | |||
that the X- and Y-direction deep pin expansion measurements (comparable to the | |||
Seabrook vertical and horizontal wall surface CCI measurements) do not appear to | |||
correlate with the through-wall (e.g., out-of-plane, or Z-direction) deep pin expansion | |||
measurements after the initial phase of ASR expansion. X- and Y-direction expansion | |||
appears to plateau while the Z-direction expansion continues to trend upward (increase). | |||
All large-scale reinforcement anchorage and shear specimens have demonstrated this | |||
expansion trend. The Z-direction expansion in the test specimens has been observed to | |||
be 10 times greater than the X- and Y- expansions after approximately one year. | |||
The preliminary implication of these test specimen expansion measurement trends is | |||
that the X- and Y- expansion measurement methods (CCI and crack width) currently | |||
used for monitoring the progression of ASR on Seabrook Station structure surfaces (per | |||
the Structures Monitoring Program) may not provide alone, an adequate means to | |||
monitor (1) ASR progression and (2) by inference (pending the completion of the testing | |||
program), the ASR impact on the affected buildings structural performance. The | |||
validation of the use of the CCI and crack width measurements for monitoring the | |||
structural impact of ASR has been an objective of the large specimen testing program. | |||
Enclosure | |||
22 | |||
In considering these initial test program results, NextEra staff initiated an Action Report | |||
(No. 01952162) to address this issue. In addition to evaluating the future impact of using | |||
CCI to monitor ASR progression on affected structures, NextEra staff conducted a | |||
preliminary assessment of this test data for impact to their PODs completed for ASR- | |||
affected Seabrook structures. NextEra staff concluded this initial test program data does | |||
not adversely impact the POD margins analyses, principally because the PODs are not | |||
dependent upon measured CCI values for assessing the level of ASR degradation. | |||
Instead, those structures demonstrating the most significant ASR progression (as | |||
assumed by CCI and crack width measurements of >1.0 mm/m and >1.0 mm, | |||
respectively) were evaluated using conservative and bounding degradation values | |||
derived from published research and testing data developed from non-reinforced | |||
concrete specimens. At the close of the inspection period, NextEra staff had initiated | |||
actions to re-evaluate the use of CCI and crack width for the SMP and to re-evaluate | |||
their methods for monitoring and assessing ASR progression of test specimens in order | |||
to correlate test data to Seabrook Station. | |||
NextEra staff communicated with the inspectors their plans to fabricate an additional | |||
large-scale test specimen to instrument with strain gages and allow ASR progression in | |||
order to validate the use of strain gages for through-wall (Z-direction) expansion | |||
monitoring. The purpose of this activity is to validate the use of one or more strain gage | |||
designs that can subsequently be installed in Seabrook structures to accurately monitor | |||
through-wall expansion. In addition, NextEra staff described plans to increase the core | |||
sampling of control and ASR-affected large scale test specimens in order to more | |||
accurately measure ASR impact on concrete compressive and tensile strength and | |||
modulus of elasticity. NextEra staff further communicated plans to conduct petrographic | |||
examination of through-wall core samples from the test specimens. This additional | |||
concrete material property testing and data collection is intended to be used to support | |||
the correlation of testing program structural performance data to Seabrook structures | |||
(along with additional, but not yet defined, core sampling of Seabrook ASR-affected | |||
structures). | |||
In summary, the inspectors concluded that the PODs completed for ASR-affected | |||
Seabrook structures remain unaffected by the X-,Y- and Z-direction expansion data | |||
measured, to date, in the test specimens. Actions planned by NextEra to assess the | |||
adequacy of the SMP structural evaluation criteria and modify the ASR testing program | |||
were viewed appropriate by the inspectors and the Seabrook ASR Issue Technical | |||
Team, at this time. As stated above, the PODs use bounding assumptions not | |||
dependent on the degree of expansion measured. Additional inspections are planned by | |||
the NRC to evaluate NextEras ongoing corrective actions to resolve the non- | |||
conformance related to ASR-affected structures at the Seabrook Station. | |||
4OA3 Follow-Up of Events and Notices of Enforcement Discretion (71153 - 1 sample) | |||
Plant Events | |||
a. Inspection Scope | |||
For the degraded plant equipment transient listed below, the inspectors reviewed and/or | |||
observed plant parameters, reviewed personnel performance, and evaluated | |||
performance of mitigating systems. The inspectors communicated the plant events to | |||
Enclosure | |||

appropriate regional personnel, and compared the event details with criteria contained in | |||
IMC 0309, Reactive Inspection Decision Basis for Reactors, for consideration of | |||
potential reactive inspection activities. The inspectors reviewed NextEras follow-up | |||
actions related to the events to assure that NextEra implemented appropriate corrective | |||
actions commensurate with their safety significance. | |||

SUBJECT: SEABROOK STATION, UNIT NO. 1 - NRC INTEGRATED INSPECTION
REPORT 05000443/2014002
Dear Mr. Walsh:
On March 31, 2014, the U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed an inspection
at Seabrook Station, Unit No. 1. The enclosed inspection report documents the inspection
results, which were discussed on April 10, 2014, with you and other members of your staff.
The inspection examined activities conducted under your license as they relate to safety and
compliance with the Commissions rules and regulations and with the conditions of your license.
The inspectors reviewed selected procedures and records, observed activities, and interviewed
personnel.
This report documents one NRC-identified finding of very low safety significance (Green). This
finding was determined to involve a violation of NRC requirements. However, because of the
very low safety significance, and because it was entered into your corrective action program
(CAP), the NRC is treating the finding as a non-cited violation (NCV), consistent with Section
2.3.2.a of the NRC Enforcement Policy. If you contest the subject or severity of any NCV in this
report, 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, Region I; the
Director, Office of Enforcement, United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington,
DC 20555-0001; and the NRC Resident Inspector at Seabrook Station. In addition, if you
disagree with the cross-cutting aspect assigned to the finding in this report, you should provide
a response within 30 days of the date of this inspection report, with the basis for your
disagreement, to the Regional Administrator, Region I, and the NRC Resident Inspector at
Seabrook Station.
Additionally, as we informed you in the most recent NRC integrated inspection report, cross-
cutting aspects identified in the last six months of 2013 using the previous terminology were
being converted in accordance with the cross-reference in Inspection Manual Chapter (IMC) 0310. Section 4OA5 of the enclosed report documents the conversion of these cross-cutting
K. Walsh 2
aspects which will be evaluated for cross-cutting themes and potential substantive cross-cutting
issues in accordance with IMC 0305 starting with the 2014 mid-cycle assessment review. If you
disagree with the cross-cutting aspect assigned, you should provide a response within 30 days
of the date of this inspection report, with the basis for your disagreement, to the Regional
Administrator, Region I, and the NRC Resident Inspector at Seabrook Station.
In accordance with Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 2.390 of the NRCs Rules
of Practice, a copy of this letter, its enclosure, and your response (if any) will be available
electronically for public inspection in the NRCs Public Document Room or from the Publicly
Available Records component of the NRCs Agencywide Documents Access Management
System (ADAMS). ADAMS is accessible from the NRC website at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-

SUMMARY
IR 05000443/2014002; 01/01/2014-03/31/2014; Seabrook Station, Unit No. 1; Operability
Determinations and Functionality Assessments.
This report covered a three-month period of inspection by resident inspectors and announced
inspections performed by regional inspectors. Inspectors identified one finding of very low
safety significance (Green), which was an NCV. The significance of most findings is indicated
by their color (i.e., greater than Green, or Green, White, Yellow, Red) and determined using IMC 0609, Significance Determination Process (SDP), dated June 2, 2011. Cross-cutting aspects
are determined using IMC 0310, Components Within Cross-Cutting Areas, dated December
19, 2013. All violations of NRC requirements are dispositioned in accordance with the NRCs
Enforcement Policy, dated June 7, 2012. The NRCs program for overseeing the safe operation
of commercial nuclear power reactors is described in NUREG-1649, Reactor Oversight
Process, Revision 4.
Cornerstone: Mitigating Systems
Green. The inspectors identified an NCV of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion V,
Procedures, because NextEra did not ensure adequate separation was maintained
between temporary scaffolding and safety-related equipment. Specifically, six instances
of scaffolding installed in the plant were identified with less than the minimum standoff
distance to safety-related equipment specified in NextEra procedures and no corresponding
engineering evaluation to support these deviations. NextEra entered this NCV into their
CAP as AR 01933827 and assessed the six deviations for any impact on the associated
safety-related systems.
This performance deficiency was considered more than minor because it affected the
protection against external factors attribute of the Mitigating Systems cornerstone and its
objective to ensure the availability, reliability, and capability of systems that respond to
initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences. Specifically, NextEra did not
evaluate scaffolding installations when insufficient separation to safety-related equipment
existed after procedural requirements were revised to a more restrictive value. Additionally,
it was similar to example 4.a in IMC 0612, Appendix E, Examples of Minor Issues, which
states that the issue of failing to appropriately evaluate scaffold installation as required by
procedures is more than minor if the licensee routinely failed to perform engineering
evaluations. The issue was evaluated in accordance with IMC 0609, Appendix A, The
Significance Determination Process for Findings At-Power and determined to be of very low
safety significance (Green), because it did not involve the loss or degradation of equipment
or function specifically designed to mitigate a seismic event. This finding has a cross-cutting
aspect in the area of Problem Identification and Resolution, Evaluation, because NextEra
personnel did not perform an adequate extent of condition review after revision of their
erection of scaffold procedure. This performance deficiency directly contributed to multiple
instances of scaffold members erected within two inches of safety-related equipment without
an engineering evaluation [P.2]. (Section 1R15)

REPORT DETAILS
Summary of Plant Status
Seabrook operated essentially at full power for the entire assessment period, with the exception
of minor downpowers for turbine control valve testing. However, on March 31, 2014, plant load
was reduced to approximately 15% for turbine generator testing prior to a shutdown and entry
into refueling outage No. 16 at midnight, March 31, 2014. Documents reviewed for each section
of this inspection report are listed in the Attachment.
1. REACTOR SAFETY
Cornerstones: Initiating Events, Mitigating Systems, and Barrier Integrity
1R01 Adverse Weather Protection (71111.01 - 1 sample)
Readiness for Impending Adverse Weather Conditions
a. Inspection Scope
The inspectors reviewed NextEras preparations for the onset of cold weather and snow
on February 5, 2014. The inspectors reviewed the implementation of adverse weather
preparation procedures before the onset of and during this adverse weather
condition. The inspectors verified that operator actions defined in NextEras adverse
weather procedure maintained the readiness of essential systems. The inspectors
discussed readiness and staff availability for adverse weather response with operations
and work control personnel.
b. Findings
No findings were identified.
1R04 Equipment Alignment
Partial System Walkdowns (71111.04Q - 3 samples)
a. Inspection Scope
The inspectors performed partial walkdowns of the following systems:
'A' emergency diesel generator (EDG) while 'B' EDG was out of service (OOS) for
annual maintenance on January 27, 2014
Supplemental emergency power system (SEPS) while 'A' EDG was OOS for annual
maintenance on February 12, 2014
'A' emergency feedwater (EFW) pump return to service on March 26, 2014

which included simulated degraded equipment and subsequent equipment failures
and initiators, which resulted in escalating degraded plant conditions that ensured
implementation of emergency operating procedures by the operating crew, as well as
implementation of the emergency plan. This emergency plan implementation included
classification of specific events that warranted an Alert Event Declaration. The
inspectors evaluated operator performance during the simulated event and verified
completion of risk significant operator actions, including the use of abnormal and
emergency operating procedures. The inspectors assessed the clarity and effectiveness
of communications, implementation of actions in response to alarms and degrading plant
conditions, and the oversight and direction provided by the control room supervisor. The
inspectors verified the accuracy and timeliness of the emergency classification made by
the shift manager and the TS action statements entered by the control room supervisor.

The inspectors selected these issues based on the risk significance of the associated
components and systems. The inspectors evaluated the technical adequacy of the
operability determinations to assess whether TS operability was properly justified and
the subject component or system remained available such that no unrecognized
increase in risk occurred. The inspectors compared the operability and design criteria in
the appropriate sections of the TSs and UFSAR to NextEras evaluations to determine
whether the components or systems were operable. Where compensatory measures
were required to maintain operability, the inspectors determined whether the measures
in place would function as intended and were properly controlled by NextEra. The
inspectors determined, where appropriate, compliance with bounding limitations
associated with the evaluations.
b. Findings
Introduction. The inspectors identified a Green NCV of 10 CFR 50, Appendix B,
Criterion V, Procedures, because NextEra did not ensure adequate separation was
maintained between temporary scaffolding and safety-related equipment. Specifically,
Enclosure
9
six instances of scaffolding installed in the plant were identified with less than the
minimum standoff distance to safety-related equipment specified in NextEra procedures
and no corresponding engineering evaluation to support these deviations.
Description. 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion V, requires that activities affecting quality
be prescribed by documented procedures and be accomplished in accordance with
those procedures. When used in the plant, the design and installation of temporary
scaffolding must be controlled to ensure that it is not installed too close to safety-related
equipment. During a seismic event, scaffolding installed too close to safety-related
equipment can come into contact with that equipment, cause damage to it, and affect its
safety function. NextEra procedures control the installation of temporary scaffolding at
Seabrook by specifying a minimum separation between scaffolding and safety-related
equipment, and by requiring an engineering evaluation when the minimum separation
cannot be met.
NextEra mechanical maintenance procedure, MS0599.47, Erection of Scaffolding,
Revision 2, states that members of scaffolding erected adjacent to operable safety-
related equipment shall not be less than two inches unless justified by an Engineering
Evaluation. MS0599.47 was revised in February 2013, and the requirement for scaffold
separation from operable safety-related equipment was changed from ...should not be
less than 2 inches and in no case less than 1/2 inch without an engineering evaluation to
...shall not be less than 2 inches unless justified by engineering evaluation.
While performing a plant walkdown on January 15, 2014, the inspectors identified
temporary scaffold members installed less than two inches from the A Containment
Building Spray (CBS) pump discharge and suction lines. The A CBS pump and its
associated piping are classified as safety-related equipment and were operable at the
time. The identified scaffold did not include an engineering evaluation that provided
acceptance of separation of less than two inches. Subsequent plant walkdowns by
NextEra personnel identified five additional instances of scaffolding installed less than
two inches from operable safety-related equipment without an associated engineering
evaluation. NextEra personnel determined that an inadequate extent of condition review
following the February 2013 revision of MS0599.47, resulted in scaffolding being staged
in the plant at less than the new, more restrictive scaffold separation requirement of two
inches. Having identified multiple instances where NextEra personnel had not complied
with the separation requirement of the scaffolding procedure, the inspectors concluded
that NextEra had not been adequately controlling the design and installation of
temporary scaffolding.
NextEra entered the additional instances of inadequate separation identified during their
independent walkdowns into the CAP. All discrepancies were corrected and assessed
for any potential impact to the operability or functionality of affected systems. The
inspectors reviewed the CRs and determined that the safety function of each system
potentially impacted by temporary scaffolding, including those identified by the
inspectors and NextEra, would not have been affected during a seismic event.
Analysis. The inspectors determined that not providing adequate separation between
temporary scaffolding and safety-related equipment without an engineering basis was
a performance deficiency within NextEras ability to foresee and correct. Specifically,
several scaffold members were observed within two inches of safety-related equipment
without an engineering evaluation as specified by current procedural requirements.
Enclosure
10
This performance deficiency was considered more than minor because it affected the
protection against external factors attribute of the Mitigating System cornerstone and its
objective to ensure the availability, reliability, and capability of systems that respond to
initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences. Specifically, NextEra did not
evaluate scaffolding installation when insufficient separation to safety-related equipment
existed after procedural requirements were revised to a more restrictive value.
Additionally, it was similar to example 4.a in IMC 0612, Appendix E, Examples of Minor
Issues, which states that the issue of failing to appropriately evaluate scaffold
installation as required by procedures is more than minor if the licensee routinely failed
to perform engineering evaluations. The issue was evaluated in accordance with IMC 0609, Appendix A, The Significance Determination Process for Findings At-Power and
determined to be of very low safety significance (Green) since it did not involve the loss
or degradation of equipment or function specifically designed to mitigate a seismic event.
This finding is related to the cross-cutting area of Problem Identification and Resolution-
Evaluation, because NextEra did not thoroughly evaluate issues to ensure that
resolutions address causes and extent of conditions commensurate with their safety
significance (P.2). Specifically, NextEra personnel did not perform an adequate extent
of condition review after revision of their erection of scaffolding procedure. This
performance deficiency directly contributed to multiple instances of scaffolding members
erected within two inches of safety-related equipment without an engineering evaluation.
Enforcement. 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion V, requires, in part, that activities
affecting quality shall be prescribed by documented procedures and shall be
accomplished in accordance with those procedures. NextEra mechanical maintenance
procedure, MS0599.47, Erection of Scaffolding, Revision 2, states that members of
scaffolding erected adjacent to operable safety-related equipment shall not be less than
two inches from the equipment unless justified by an Engineering Evaluation. Contrary
to the above, on January 15, 2014, the inspectors identified that certain activities
affecting quality at Seabrook were not accomplished in accordance with documented
procedures. Specifically, following a revision of the minimum scaffolding separation
requirement in February 2013, multiple instances of scaffolding outside of the new
requirements were left uncorrected and engineering evaluations were not completed.
Installation of temporary scaffolding in the vicinity of safety-related equipment has the
potential to adversely affect that equipments performance during a seismic event
because it was installed with insufficient standoff distance. After the issue was identified
by the inspectors, NextEra performed independent walkdowns of all scaffolding,
identifying five additional instances of inadequate separation distance. All identified
discrepancies were corrected or evaluated as adequate. Because this violation is of
very low safety significance (Green) and NextEra entered this into their CAP (AR
01933827), this violation is being treated as an NCV consistent with the Enforcement
Policy. (NCV 05000443/2014002-01, Scaffolding Installed with Insufficient
Separation to Safety Related Equipment)

Cornerstone: Emergency Preparedness
1EP4 Emergency Action Level and Emergency Plan Changes (71114.04 - 1 sample)
Emergency Preparedness Drill Observation
a. Inspection Scope
NextEra implemented various changes to the Seabrook Emergency Action Levels
(EALs), Emergency Plan, and Implementing Procedures. NextEra had determined that,
in accordance with 10 CFR 50.54(q)(3), any change made to the EALs, Emergency
Plan, and its lower-tier implementing procedures, had not resulted in any reduction in
effectiveness of the Plan, and that the revised Plan continued to meet the standards in
50.47(b) and the requirements of 10 CFR 50, Appendix E.
The inspectors performed an in-office review of all EAL and Emergency Plan changes
submitted by NextEra as required by 10 CFR 50.54(q)(5), including the changes to
lower-tier emergency plan implementing procedures, to evaluate for any potential
reductions in effectiveness of the Emergency Plan. This review by the inspectors was
not documented in an NRC Safety Evaluation Report and does not constitute formal
NRC approval of the changes. Therefore, these changes remain subject to future NRC
inspection in their entirety. The requirements in 10 CFR 50.54(q) were used as
reference criteria.

performance indicator data regarding drill and exercise performance. The inspectors
observed event classification and notification activities performed by the crew. The
inspectors also attended the post-evolution critique for the scenario. The focus of the
inspectors activities was to note any weaknesses and deficiencies in the crews
performance and ensure that NextEra evaluators noted the same issues and entered
them into the CAP.
b. Findings

2. RADIATION SAFETY
Cornerstone: Public Radiation Safety
2RS1 Radiological Hazard Assessment and Exposure Controls (71124.01)
a. Inspection Scope
From March 4 to March 8, 2014, the inspectors reviewed NextEras performance in
assessing the radiological hazards and exposure control in the workplace. The
inspectors used the requirements in 10 CFR Part 20 and guidance in Regulatory Guide
(RG) 8.38, Control of Access to High and Very High Radiation Areas for Nuclear Plants,
TSs, and the NextEra procedures required by TSs, as criteria for determining
compliance.
Inspection Planning
The inspectors reviewed 2013 NextEra performance indicators for the occupational
exposure cornerstone for Seabrook Nuclear Station. The inspectors reviewed the
results of radiation protection program audits. The inspectors reviewed any reports of
operational occurrences related to occupational radiation safety since the last inspection.
Enclosure
14
Radiological Hazard Assessment
The inspectors determined if there have been changes to plant operations since the last
inspection that may result in significant new radiological hazards. The inspectors
evaluated whether NextEra assessed the potential impact of these changes and has
implemented periodic monitoring, as appropriate, to detect and quantify the radiological
hazard.
The inspectors reviewed the last two radiological surveys from the Fuel Transfer Canal
and Letdown Line in the Demineralizer Alley. The inspectors evaluated whether the
thoroughness and frequency of the surveys were appropriate for the given new
radiological hazard.
The inspectors conducted walk-downs and independent radiation measurements in the
facility, including radioactive waste processing, storage, and handling areas to evaluate
material and radiological conditions.
The inspectors reviewed one risk-significant work activity that involved exposure to
radiation. This activity was the initial entry, survey and decontamination of the fuel
transfer canal following the second dry spent fuel storage cask loading campaign. For
this work activity, the inspectors assessed whether the pre-work surveys performed were
appropriate to identify and quantify the radiological hazard and to establish adequate
protective measures. The inspectors evaluated the radiological survey program to
determine if radiological hazards were properly identified (e.g., discrete radioactive hot
particles, transuranics and hard to detect nuclides in air samples, transient dose rates
and large gradients in radiation dose rates).
The inspectors observed work in potential airborne radioactivity areas, and evaluated
whether the air samples from the fuel transfer canal air sample locations were
representative of the breathing air zone and were properly evaluated.
Instructions to Workers
The inspectors selected three containers of radioactive materials and assessed whether
the containers were labeled and controlled in accordance with 10 CFR Part 20
requirements.
The inspectors reviewed the following radiation work permits (RWP) used to access high
radiation areas (HRA) and evaluated if the specified work control instructions and control
barriers were consistent with TS requirements for HRA.
RWP 14-0015 High Integrity Container/Liner Shipping Preparation to include
Capping, Weighing and Transfer to Waste Processing Building, January 1, 2014
RWP 14-0022 Inspect CS Valves inside Letdown Valve Room at Power,

December 31, 2013
RWP 14-0058 Fuel Storage Building Transfer Canal Radiation Protection Survey,
Decontamination and Maintenance Support Activities, March 2, 2014
Enclosure
15
For these RWPs, the inspectors assessed whether allowable stay-times or permissible
dose for radiologically significant work under each RWP were clearly identified. The
inspectors evaluated whether electronic personnel dosimeter (EPD) alarm set-points
were in conformance with survey indications and plant procedural requirements.
The inspectors reviewed two occurrences where a workers EPD malfunctioned or
alarmed. The inspectors evaluated whether workers responded appropriately. The
inspectors assessed whether the issue was included in the corrective action program
and whether compensatory dose evaluations were conducted as appropriate.
For work activities that could suddenly increase radiological conditions, the inspectors
assessed the NextEra means to inform workers of these changes.
Contamination and Radioactive Material Control
The inspectors reviewed NextEras criteria for the survey and release of potentially
contaminated material. The inspectors evaluated whether there was sufficient
procedural guidance on alarm response.
The inspectors reviewed NextEras procedures and records to verify that the radiation
detection instrumentation was used at an appropriate sensitivity level. The inspectors
selected six sealed sources from the NextEra inventory records and reviewed whether
the sources were accounted for and were tested for loose surface contamination.
The inspectors evaluated whether any recent transactions involving nationally tracked
sources were reported in accordance with 10 CFR Part 20 requirements.
Radiological Hazards Control and Work Coverage
The inspectors evaluated ambient radiological conditions and performed independent
radiation measurements during walk-downs of the facility. The inspectors assessed
whether the conditions were consistent with applicable posted surveys, RWPs, and
associated worker briefings.
The inspectors examined NextEra physical and programmatic controls for highly
activated or contaminated materials stored within spent fuel and other storage pools.
The inspectors assessed whether appropriate controls were in place to preclude
inadvertent removal of these materials from the pool.
The inspectors examined the posting and physical controls for selected HRAs, locked
high radiation area (LHRA) and very high radiation areas (VHRA) to verify conformance
with the occupational performance indicator.
Risk-Significant HRA and VHRA Controls
The inspectors discussed with the Radiation Protection Manager (RPM) the controls and
procedures for high-risk HRAs and VHRAs. The inspectors assessed whether any
changes to NextEra relevant procedures reduce the effectiveness of worker protection.
Enclosure
16
The inspectors evaluated NextEra controls for VHRAs and areas with the potential to
become a VHRA to ensure that an individual was not able to gain unauthorized access
to these areas.
Problem Identification and Resolution
The inspectors evaluated whether problems associated with radiation monitoring and
exposure control were being identified by NextEra at an appropriate threshold and were
properly addressed for resolution in the licensees corrective action program. The
inspectors assessed the appropriateness of the corrective actions for problems
documented by NextEra that involve radiation monitoring and exposure controls. The
inspectors assessed NextEra processes for applying operating experience to their plant.
b. Findings
No findings were identified.
2RS2 Occupational ALARA Planning and Controls (71124.02)
a. Inspection Scope
The inspectors assessed performance with respect to maintaining occupational
individual and collective radiation exposures as low as is reasonably achievable
(ALARA). The inspectors used the requirements in 10 CFR Part 20, RG 8.8,
Information Relevant to Ensuring that Occupational Radiation Exposures at Nuclear
Power Plants will be As Low As Is Reasonably Achievable, RG 8.10, Operating
Philosophy for Maintaining Occupational Radiation Exposure As Low as Is Reasonably
Achievable, TSs, and NextEra procedures required by TSs, as criteria for determining
compliance.
Inspection Planning
The inspectors reviewed information regarding Seabrooks collective dose history,
current exposure trends, and ongoing or planned activities in order to assess current
performance and exposure challenges. The inspectors reviewed the plants three year
rolling average collective radiation exposure.
The inspectors compared the site-specific trends in collective exposures against the
industry average values and from similar nuclear power plants. In addition, the
inspectors reviewed any changes in the radioactive source term by reviewing the trend
in average contact dose rate with reactor coolant piping and steam generator primary
channel head space and manways. The inspectors reviewed site-specific procedures
associated with maintaining occupational exposures ALARA, which included a review of
processes used to estimate and track exposures from specific work activities.
Radiological Work Planning
The inspectors assessed whether NextEra planning identified appropriate dose
reduction techniques; considered alternate dose reduction features; and estimated
reasonable dose goals. The inspectors evaluated whether NextEras ALARA
assessment had taken into account decreased worker efficiency from use of respiratory
protective devices and/or heat stress mitigation equipment. The inspectors determined
Enclosure
17
whether NextEra work planning considered the use of remote technologies as a means
to reduce dose and the use of dose reduction insights from industry operating
experience and plant-specific lessons learned. The inspectors assessed the integration
of ALARA requirements into work procedure and RWP documents.
Source Term Reduction and Control
The inspectors used licensee records to determine the historical trends and current
status of plant source term known to contribute to elevated facility collective dose. The
inspectors assessed whether the licensee had developed contingency plans for
expected changes in the source term as the result of changes in plant fuel performance
issues or changes in plant primary chemistry.
Problem Identification and Resolution
The inspectors evaluated whether problems associated with ALARA planning and
controls are being identified by the licensee at an appropriate threshold and were
properly addressed for resolution in the licensees corrective action program. The
inspectors assessed NextEras process for applying operating experience to their plant.

a. Inspection Scope
As required by Inspection Procedure 71152, Problem Identification and Resolution, the
inspectors routinely reviewed issues during baseline inspection activities and plant
status reviews to verify that NextEra entered issues into the CAP at an appropriate
threshold, gave adequate attention to timely corrective actions, and identified and
addressed adverse trends. In order to assist with the identification of repetitive
equipment failures and specific human performance issues for follow-up, the inspectors
performed a daily screening of items entered into the CAP and periodically attended
condition report screening meetings.

.2 Annual Sample: Increasing Frequency of Leaks in Service Water Piping in the Vicinity of
Installation/Fabrication Welds
a. Inspection Scope
During the period January 27 to January 31, 2014, inspectors reviewed a root cause
evaluation (RCE AR 16379222) completed by NextEra staff for a service water pipe leak
that occurred in August 2013. This problem was described in a licensee event report
submitted to the NRC dated December 23, 2013. The inspectors determined the
effectiveness of actions by NextEra staff to identify, characterize, correct and prevent
reoccurrence of SW system leaks.
The inspectors assessed problem identification threshold, apparent cause analysis,
extent of condition reviews, and timeliness of corrective actions. The inspectors
reviewed documents listed in the Attachment to this report and interviewed NextEra
engineering personnel to assess the effectiveness of the planned, scheduled, and
completed corrective actions to resolve the identified deficiency.
The inspectors reviewed non-destructive test procedures, procedure qualifications
including test personnel qualifications to determine compliance with the applicable
American Society of Mechanical Engineers codes and standards. Also, the inspectors
reviewed system health reports, work orders, procurement documents, drawings and
photographs to determine if the nonconforming condition was appropriately identified,
documented, characterized and entered into NextEras corrective action process.
The inspectors reviewed root cause evaluation AR 16379222 and interviewed members
of the evaluation team. The inspectors interviewed the qualified non-destructive test
examiner to evaluate the ultrasonic test method used. Test results were reviewed with
the test examiner to assess the remaining wall thickness for continued operation without
encroaching on minimum wall requirements.
Enclosure

b. Findings and Observations
No findings were identified. The root cause evaluation and corrective actions were
reasonable, appropriate and timely.
NextEras root cause evaluation addressed a history of SW degradation (corrosion/
erosion) resulting in wall thinning and pressure boundary penetration and leakage. The
areas where wall thinning and leakage occurred was determined to be associated with
the loss of protective coating and/or liner failure at fabrication/installation welds which
typically results in turbulent fluid flow. This turbulent flow was particularly aggressive in
the attack of base metals and protective coatings at these weld locations and
configuration changes. The inspectors assessed the root cause determination, results of
the extent of condition investigation of other locations within the SW system and other
fluid (circulating water) systems with similar piping materials, operating parameters and
configurations.
The inspectors noted that examination using ultrasonic testing was performed at
selected locations with known change in flow patterns and velocity changes. The results
of this testing identified areas exhibiting variable wear rates. An evaluation of these test
results was made to determine pipe structural and pressure retaining integrity.
The inspectors visually examined several portions of previous SW pipe and fittings that
had been removed from the SW system in prior outages due to identified leaks. The
removed samples provided confirmatory evidence of corrosive/erosive attack from
turbulent flow at root locations of field welds, configuration changes and pipe to fitting
intersections. These locations revealed characteristic pin hole leaks at weld locations
and a general wastage of pipe and fitting interior diameters. These locations were
evaluated for compliance with minimum wall thickness requirements. Those locations
which were identified as active leaks at weld locations or, where areas exhibiting loss
of wall thickness and were encroaching on minimum wall requirements, were
dispositioned for repair/replacement in the CAP.
The inspectors determined that this issue received appropriate management attention as
indicated by the corrective action that was taken to perform a temporary leak repair by
the installation of a weldolet encapsulating the leak location. At the next outage, (OR16)
the weldolet will be removed and replaced with a more suitable flush patch. The patch
will be coated internally with a corrosion/erosion resistant material. The inspectors
discussed the licensee plans to systematically remove and replace the SW piping with a
base metal that is significantly more resistant to erosion/corrosion attack. The
inspectors examined numerous lengths of pipe and fittings which were staged for
replacement in the plant during the April 2014 refueling outage and subsequent outages.
.3 Annual Sample: Review of Activities Associated with Alkali Silica Reaction Affected
Structures
a. Inspection Scope
March 12 to 13, NRC inspectors from Region I and a structural engineer from the
Division of License Renewal, NRR, witnessed testing conducted at the Ferguson
Structural Engineering Laboratory (FSEL) at the University of Texas - Austin. The
testing was conducted in support of the Seabrook Alkali-Silica Reaction (ASR)
Enclosure
20
Integrated Corrective Action Plan. Specifically, the inspectors witnessed load testing of
the control beam for reinforcement anchorage (lap-splice) capacity. The testing was
performed in accordance with MPR Project 0326-0063, Procedure 5-7, Structural
Testing of Shear and Anchorage Specimens, Revision 1.
The inspectors also reviewed the results of the December 2013, Combined Crack
Indexing (CCI) measurements and the supporting engineering analysis. Proprietary data
sheets and associated evaluations were made available for inspector review.
Additionally, the inspectors review included discussions with the responsible Seabrook
engineers, as well as petrography specialists consulting for the University of Texas
Ferguson Structural Engineering Laboratory
Lastly, the inspectors reviewed NextEras revised Prompt Operability Determinations
(PODs) that address additional Seabrook structures identified as being affected by ASR
via the Phase 3 ASR walkdown program.
b. Findings and Observations
The inspectors identified no findings.
Review of CCI and Crack Width Measurements
The inspectors examined the December 2013 CCI measurement results documented in
Foreign Print (FP) 100847 and FP 100848, dated January 30, 2014. As documented in
these NextEra reports, there are 32 areas currently being monitored for ASR progression
using the CCI and crack width methodology. As of December 2013, 26 of the 32 areas
have been monitored on a six-month basis for approximately two years. Based upon the
data collected to date, NextEra has concluded the following: 1) the data suggests a slow
increasing trend in CCI and crack width over the past two years; 2) at 14 interior ASR
locations, the horizontal and vertical CCI data indicates an overall upward trend (an
average increase of 0.04 mm/m, with a measurement tolerance of 0.05 mm); 3) at nine
exterior locations, the horizontal and vertical CCI data indicates no significant change
over the two-year period; 4) the six floor/ceiling/roof locations indicate flat to upward
trends early in the period, but no change later in the two-year period; and, 5) some
fluctuation in the measured CCI and crack width values have been observed. The
fluctuations may be attributed to thermal effects, cyclic or constant moisture exposure,
measurement device accuracy, or the condition of the measured surfaces as impacted
by cleaning/preparation and weathering effects. Independent inspector review of CCI
and crack width measurement data and photographs of selected areas confirmed
NextEras conclusions. As stated in FP 100847 and FP 100848, NextEra will continue
the six-month data collection to comply with the Structures Monitoring Program and
validate these observed ASR progression trends.
Review of Operability Determinations
Based on the result of recent Phase 3 walkdowns, NextEra identified six additional areas
with CCI > 1.0 millimeter per meter (mm/m). In accordance with the Seabrook
Structures Monitoring Program (SMP), NextEra staff completed evaluations of the
affected structures to assess the potential impact of ASR on continued operability. The
six additional areas identified with a CCI value greater than 1.0 mm/m were: cooling
tower exterior (elevation 25, reference CTE-02); primary auxiliary building (PAB)
Enclosure
21
penetration area (elevation -26, reference MF105-01); west pipe chase (elevation 12,
reference MF202-02); and three areas in electrical manholes (below grade elevations,
reference CI-W03-Wall, CI-W05-Wall, and CI-W11-Wall). The structural evaluations
were documented as Supplement IV and V to FP 100716, Seabrook Station: Impact of
ASR on Concrete Structures and Attachments, and utilized the same design capacity
versus calculated demand margin analysis approach as the previously completed PODs
(reference Section 9.1, NRC Inspection Report 05000443/2012010). Inspector review of
the six additional ASR-affected area PODs concluded that the impacted structures have
adequate strength margin available and are fully capable of performing their safety
functions.
Control Beam Testing Observations
The inspectors witnessed the performance of load testing of the first control beam (a
specimen that has not undergone ASR aging). The beam (A-7, reinforcement
anchorage control specimen) was tested in accordance with MPR Project 0326-0063,
Procedure 5-7, Structural Testing of Shear and Anchorage Specimens, Revision 1, on
March 13, 2014. Beam failure occurred at a load of approximately 251,000 pounds, as
compared to the estimated failure load of 214,000 pounds. The failure load was slightly
higher than the estimated design capacity, but within the accuracy of the design
calculations. No test anomalies were identified. The results of the control beam test will
be used to compare subsequent ASR-affected specimen tests to evaluate the impact of
ASR degradation on structural performance. The inspectors observed proper procedural
adherence, good test coordination and proper communications and safety practices
exhibited by the testing staff, supervisory personnel and quality assurance overseers.
The inspectors verified proper testing preparations and quality control oversight as
specified by MPR Project 0326-0063, Procedure 5-6, General Preparation of Test
Facilities and Specimens, Revision 2, and MPR Procedure 0326-0062-46, Procedure
for In-process Inspections of FSEL Reinforcement Anchorage Test Setup for Seabrook
Station, Revision 0.
Initial Test Specimen ASR Expansion Results
NextEra and the UT-Austin FSEL staff have observed in the large-scale test specimens
that the X- and Y-direction deep pin expansion measurements (comparable to the
Seabrook vertical and horizontal wall surface CCI measurements) do not appear to
correlate with the through-wall (e.g., out-of-plane, or Z-direction) deep pin expansion
measurements after the initial phase of ASR expansion. X- and Y-direction expansion
appears to plateau while the Z-direction expansion continues to trend upward (increase).
All large-scale reinforcement anchorage and shear specimens have demonstrated this
expansion trend. The Z-direction expansion in the test specimens has been observed to
be 10 times greater than the X- and Y- expansions after approximately one year.
The preliminary implication of these test specimen expansion measurement trends is
that the X- and Y- expansion measurement methods (CCI and crack width) currently
used for monitoring the progression of ASR on Seabrook Station structure surfaces (per
the Structures Monitoring Program) may not provide alone, an adequate means to
monitor (1) ASR progression and (2) by inference (pending the completion of the testing
program), the ASR impact on the affected buildings structural performance. The
validation of the use of the CCI and crack width measurements for monitoring the
structural impact of ASR has been an objective of the large specimen testing program.
Enclosure
22
In considering these initial test program results, NextEra staff initiated an Action Report
(No. 01952162) to address this issue. In addition to evaluating the future impact of using
CCI to monitor ASR progression on affected structures, NextEra staff conducted a
preliminary assessment of this test data for impact to their PODs completed for ASR-
affected Seabrook structures. NextEra staff concluded this initial test program data does
not adversely impact the POD margins analyses, principally because the PODs are not
dependent upon measured CCI values for assessing the level of ASR degradation.
Instead, those structures demonstrating the most significant ASR progression (as
assumed by CCI and crack width measurements of >1.0 mm/m and >1.0 mm,
respectively) were evaluated using conservative and bounding degradation values
derived from published research and testing data developed from non-reinforced
concrete specimens. At the close of the inspection period, NextEra staff had initiated
actions to re-evaluate the use of CCI and crack width for the SMP and to re-evaluate
their methods for monitoring and assessing ASR progression of test specimens in order
to correlate test data to Seabrook Station.
NextEra staff communicated with the inspectors their plans to fabricate an additional
large-scale test specimen to instrument with strain gages and allow ASR progression in
order to validate the use of strain gages for through-wall (Z-direction) expansion
monitoring. The purpose of this activity is to validate the use of one or more strain gage
designs that can subsequently be installed in Seabrook structures to accurately monitor
through-wall expansion. In addition, NextEra staff described plans to increase the core
sampling of control and ASR-affected large scale test specimens in order to more
accurately measure ASR impact on concrete compressive and tensile strength and
modulus of elasticity. NextEra staff further communicated plans to conduct petrographic
examination of through-wall core samples from the test specimens. This additional
concrete material property testing and data collection is intended to be used to support
the correlation of testing program structural performance data to Seabrook structures
(along with additional, but not yet defined, core sampling of Seabrook ASR-affected
structures).
In summary, the inspectors concluded that the PODs completed for ASR-affected
Seabrook structures remain unaffected by the X-,Y- and Z-direction expansion data
measured, to date, in the test specimens. Actions planned by NextEra to assess the
adequacy of the SMP structural evaluation criteria and modify the ASR testing program
were viewed appropriate by the inspectors and the Seabrook ASR Issue Technical
Team, at this time. As stated above, the PODs use bounding assumptions not
dependent on the degree of expansion measured. Additional inspections are planned by
the NRC to evaluate NextEras ongoing corrective actions to resolve the non-
conformance related to ASR-affected structures at the Seabrook Station.
