HlGHLIGHTS OF WEEKLY INFORMATION REPORT WEEK ENDING JUNE 23, 1989 Millstone Unit 3 i

On June 21, 1989, with the plant in a refueling outage, a fire ignited and l burned for approximately 13 minutes inside containment. At the time that the firestarted,thereactorvesselheadwasinstalledandtensioned(Mode 5),

and the refueling cavity seal ring was being lifted. The fire occurred in a a temporary fan that had been installed to cool the polar crane resistor bank on j the crane bridge. No damage to the resistor bank or crane appears to have 6 occurred. The fire interrupted the seal ring lift in such a way as to suspend the seal ring over the reactor vessel head approximately 35 feet above the refueling cavity floor. With power removed from the polar crane, the brakes are set and the use of a triple suspension system makes a load drop a remote threat. It is expected that the plant safety cosmittees will approve the restoration of power to the crane on June 21 to allow completion of the seal 3 lift ring.

Limerick Unit 2 Limerick, Unit 2 was granted a fuel loading and arecriticality testing operating license on Thursday, June 22, 1989. T1e license authorizes fuel ,

loading and certain Startup Tests that can be performed within the "no i i

criticality" restriction. The licensee expects to begin fuel loading on friday, June 23, 1989; the current schedule calls for a need for the low power I license during the period July 74 and August 1,1989. )

Turkey Point Drug Testing Extensive drug screening effort was initiated on June 16, 1989 in response to the FBI arrest of one (non-nuclear) Turkey Point employee for drug l distribution. The testing started with management, supervisors, and licensed individuals and working through to contractors. As of 6:00 p.m.

June 22, 1989, the licensee had tested 915 employees, and had received 456 test results from the preliminary tests. While no confirmed results have been " positive," the initial onsite screen has caused 7 samples to be referred to the offsite laboratory for confirmatory testing. One mid-level supervisor has refused the test and has been suspended. Miami, Florida, and local media coverage has been extensive and is expected over the weekend. FBI investigation is continuing. The State of Florida Attorney General has also shown interest in criminal investigation.

AsofthemorningofJune23,UnitNo.3wasinMode3(restarting)and Unit No. 4 was at 50 percent power. Region II is maintaining very close >

cognizance of FBI and licensee efforts.

PHASE I 0F AECB LEUKEMIA STUDY The first phase of an independent study of the occurrence of leukemia in children near Canadian nuclear facilities has been conducted on behalf of the Atomic Energy Control Board (AECB). The study concludes that no large '

increases in leukemia were present near the Canadian nuclear facilities that were investigated, and no similarities exist with the nine-fold excess of childhood leukemia observed in the vicinity of a nuclear facility involved in fuel reprocessing at Sellafield in the U.K. Due to the statistical uncertainties resulting from the small number of cases identified in Canada, the AECB has decided to extend the study to a wider age range in order to -

increase the number of children involved (from ages up to 4 years to ages up to 14 years) and to improve the precision of the fin 61 results. Phase II of the stud [skuld be completed ,in March 1990.

i Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation Items of Interest Week Ending June 23, 1989 Brunswick Unit 2 On June' 17,1989, Unit 2 was operating at 100% power when a ground fault i alarm on the startup transformer (SAT) was received in control room. The j plant operator initiated a gradual power decrease. While an I&C technician was trouble shooting the cause of the alarm, a second electrical short occurred'and.  !

caused the loss of the SAT. Both recirculation pumps tripped and the reactor l was manually scrammed at 72' percent power per procedure. All four diesel generators (EDGs) were started and the two assigned to Unit 2 were loaded. An Unusual Event (UE) was declared when the SAT was lost. The UE was terminated after the offsite power was restored to the Unit Auxiliary Transformer (UAT) at 0620 on 6/18/89.

The other source of power to Unit 2 through the (UAT) was also lost when the l main generator tripped. Unit 2 has no generator output breakers and power l backfeed through the UAT was not pcssible without removing the main generator 1 disconnect links. Power could not be restored to the emergency buses from )

offsite for more than 8 hours9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br />, resulting in prolonged challenges to the EDGs.  ;

On June 19, 1989, while Unit 2 was in Hot Shutdown, the licensee prepared to line up the train B RHR. system to promote recirculation in the reactor. A gasket on the inlet service water side of the RHR heat exchanger burst and. i flooded the RHR room with 2 feet of water. With one RHR loop out of service, 1 the licensee started to place the Unit in Cold Shutdown as required by Technical Specifications. Region II and NRR are following closely this event.

i River Bend Station, Unit 1 )

On June 15, 1989, the River Bend plant was preparing.for_startup following a ,

refueling and maintenance outage. Before reaching criticality, it was  !

discovered that the valve providing cooling water to-seals.of the control rods  ;

was shut. Upon investigation, the licensee also found that a number of lock l wires on other valves were not properly installed although the other valves were in the correct position. The licensee has determined that the procedures  !

used in recent maintenance and testing required verification that the wires  ;

were installed but the sign-off of verification was lacking.- The licensee.

believes the missin9 wires to be the result of failure to follow procedures.

To assure the plant is ready for startup, the licensee has initiated a 100% l

! field walkdown of all valves needed for safe operation. There are about 2,000 l valves in the walkdown.

River Bend Station achieved criticality at 3:26 a.m., June 19, 1989 following completion of the second refueling outage. During the outage, which began on i March 15, 1989,-the licensee located'and removed loose parts from two segments of feedwater sparger, performed augmented inspection of the service water system to determine the extend of corrosion and repaired piping and components JUNE 23, 1989 ENCLO!URE A'

8 as necessary, upgraded the instrument air system, and performed planned  !

inservice inspection and inservice testing. The generator is expected to be J synchronized to the grid after the completion of the installation and testino  !

of two replacement preferred station transformers. The work on the transformers j is' expected to be completed by June 21, 1989.

Millstone Unit 3 On June 21, 1989, with the plant in a refueling outage, a fire ignited and  !

burned for approximately 13 minutes-inside containment. At the time that the l fire started, the reactor vessel head was installed and tensioned (Mode 5),  !

and the refueling cavity seal ring was being lifted. The fire occurred in a 1 temporary fan that had been installed to cool the polar crane resistor bank on i the crane bridge. No damage to the resistor bank or crane appears to have ')'

occurred. The fire interrupted the seal ring lift in such a way as to suspend the seal ring over the reactor vessel head approximately 35 feet above the refueling cavity floor. With power removed from the polar crane, the brakes are set and the use of a triple suspension system makes a load drop a remote '

threat. .It is expected that the plant safety comittees will approve the restoration of power to the crane on June 21.to allow completion of the seal-lift ring.

Generic Consnunications On Monday, June 12, 1989, NRR began implementation of a computerized system to both distribute the text of NRC generic communications (information notices, ,

bulletins, and generic letters) electronically upon issuance and to allow access to the text of previously issued NRC generic communications (the text of NRC generic communications issued since January 1,1988 is currently available). Since this system utilizes an existing NRC mainframe computer (the Data General MV8000), it is readily available for NRC use. NRR hopes to expand the capabilities of this system to include on-line access to the  ;

Generic Communications Index and the Proposed Generic' Communications Tracking i System, as well as making available the text of NRC generic communications  ;

issued prior to 1988.  !

NRR has also initiated a trial program to allow approximately 12 selected industry representatives access to this system. Upon completion of this trial i program, NRR will review the program results and determine the feasibility of allowing additional non-NRC participants access to this system.

ISTGenericLetter89-04 Meetings (EMEB)

A five member team from NRR conducted four one-day meetings with all licensees centered around In-Service Testing (IST) in general and the new Generic Letter 89-04 in particular. At these meetings, which were held in Philadelphia, Atlanta, Chicago, and San Francisco, Regional management made opening state-  !

ments followed by more detailed presentations from NRR. All questions were-answered to the extent possible with more complete responses to be provided in the meeting minutes under preparation. The meeting minutes will be forwarded to all licensees and attendees. The meetings at Chicago and San Francisco were transcribed to facilitate the preparation of minutes. In general, the meetings-went very well with many attendees indicating agreement with the NRC's GL and JUNE 23, 1989 ENCLOSURE A

e the new direction being taken. The meetings were particularly useful in clarifying the applicability of the Generic Letter to various plants and the manner in which tc follow its provisions. Problems with the Generic Letter's schedule were noted; however, with some licensees stating that a 6-month period is not sufficient to complete program and procedure reviews. It seemed that licensees who had made a strong and timely resource commitment to the implementation of the Generic Letter were able to meet the required schedule more readily; whereas those who had not were having the most difficulty.

Several licensees said that they could not start with the implementation phase until the NRC held the meetings to clarify the GL. The NRR staff will provide a sumary of these and other comments in the meeting minutes. In addition, general guidance will be given concerning the information licensees will have to supply to the respective Project Mar. agers if relief from the schedule is i desired.

Comanche Peak Auxiliary Feedwater System Check Valve Leakage (EMEB) l The Augmented Inspection Team (AIT) formed on May 15, 1989, to investigate the i prcbable causes and circumstances of failure of the check valves in the j Auxiliary Feedwater System at Comanche Peak, Unit 1, during hot functional I testing, completed its finding on June 9, 1989. As a result of the check ,

valve failures, hot (557 F) secondary water from the steam generator intruded l into the Auxiliary Feedwater System damaging some pipe hangers. The failure of the 3 and 4 inch Borg-Warner check valves was due to a misaligrsent of the disc and the seat. The approved Borg-Warner operations and maintenance manual for the 3 inch and 4 inch valves had omitted a significant step in the assembly technique of the valves which resulted in their failure. The AIT has reviewed and approved the applicant's plans to corrective action verification and reassembly of all the affected valves in both the units. The team also identified several precursor events duririg which inoperable check valves were 1 identified. If the applicant had aggressively pursued the investigation of 1 those failures instead of assigning normal work request priority, the events of April 25 and May 5 could have been averted.

NRR fleeting with GA0 NRR Vendor Inspection staff met with a GA0 representative on June 21, 1989.  !

The meeting was requested by GA0 as part of their continuing review of NRC's Vendor Inspection Branch and NRC's handling of vendor issues involving counterfeit or fraudulently marketed vendor products. Staff responded to GA0 questions and comments concerning NRC/VIB activities in the following areas:

(1) vendor inspection, (2) Part 21 reporting requirements, (3) NRC issuance of Information Notices Bulletins,andGenericLettersonvendorissues,(4) allegation review, (5) coordination with other Federal Agencies on vendor issues,(6)briefingtoNRCmanagementonvendoractivities,(7) coordination with 01, (8) basis safety-related for NRC equipment, insp(ection and of venders,

-2 INDUSTRIAL AND MEDICAL NUCLEAR SAFETY Fuel Cycle Safety Fuel Cycle Facilities Forum Members of the Office of Nuclear Material Safety and Safeguards (NHSS) and the Office of Nuclear Regulatory Research (RES) attended a meeting at which representatives of the fuel Cycle Facilities Forum explained the industry group's purpose and activities. David Culberson of Babcock and Wilcox, who is Chairman of the Forum, led the briefing. The Fuel Cycle Facilities Forum is a consortium of representatives of domestic uranium / plutonium processors which was established last year to provide a forum for addressing generic decontamination and decommissioning issues primarily at facilities currently or formerly used for fuel processing activities. The initial issue of concern to the Forum is the disposition of large volumes of soil contaminated with small amounts of radioactive material. Mr. Culberson indicated that the Forum is considering a petition for rulemaking on disposal of uranium and thorium in soil which, if adopted, would supplant the Fuel Cycle Safety Branch's technical position on the subject.

HIGH-LEVEL WASTE MANAGEMENT DOE QA Plans and Procedures During the week of June 19, 1989, the Division of High-Level Waste Management (HLWM) completed and forwarded to the U. S. Department of Energy (DDE), the results of its review on the Quality Assurance Program Plans (QAPPs) for the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory and U. S. Geological Survey. The QAPPs provide a description of applicable quality assurance requirements and controls for related activities of the respective DOE support contractors. Based on its review, the HLWM staff found that, with resolution of a few minor comments, the plans meet the requirements of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B.

1 Containment Performance and Protection from Radiation Preliminary Dose Data for LWRs for 1988 l 1

The RES staff, with cantractor assistance, has completed a preliminary analysis of the annual occupational radiation cose data submitted by light water reactor licensees for CY 1988. The analysis indicates that 1 i

the average collective dose per reactor continued its five-year decline.

The 1988 value of 400 person-rems is the lowest in 15 years. The average measurable dose per. worker has also declined, but appears to be leveling j off at 0.4 rem. The average number of workers per reactor has also decreased 1 during the last few years and was found to be about 1,000 in 1988. This information is based on data submitted by 102 LWP.s as required by 10 CFR 20.407.

On. June 13, 1989', AEOD issued the Engineering Evaluation Report E905, " Electrical Bus Bar Failures," recommending that an NRC'Information Notice be sent to all licensees. The report concerned failures of electrical bus bars in medium. voltage buses that have resulted in bus bar electrical: faults and fires,. electrical power system undervoitage conditions, plant transients, and reactor trips. These failures occurred at the Palo Verde. Kewaunee, Millstone, and Sequoyah units.

Failure of the bus bars was attributed to cracking of the "Noryl" bus bar insulation combined with.the presence of moisture or debris in the bus bar housings, which jointly provided undesired tracking paths for electrical faults.

1. Safety Light Corporation, et al The staff has completed its review of the site characterization plan submitted by Safety Light, et al in response to the March 16, 1989 Order regarding the Bloomsburg, Penndsy vania site. A number of apparent failures to comply with specifications of the Order were identified. An additional requirement of the Order, to erect barriers to preclude access to contaminated areas of the site, and to properly post these areas, was to be implemented by June 15, 1989. An inspection on June 16 revealed that, while efforts to enclose the contaminated areas of the site were underway, the required barriers and posting had not been completed. An enforcement conference has been scheduled with the Presidents of Safe V Light Corporation and USR Industries for July 6, 1989, in the Region I office.
2. Limerick Generating Station Unit 2 The Mechanical Stress Improvement Process (MSIP) was employed on sixteen reactor vessel nozzle / safe end welds at Limerick Unit 2, and ultrasonic examinations of the welds were performed pre and post MSIP. All ten N2 nozzles (14" diameter)exhibitedsi with the exception of two nozzlesN2B (gnificant and H2D)ultrasonic appeared indications to originate atwhich, the I.D. surface and extend approximately 40% through the wall. The licensee implemented an evaluation program including metallurgical evalua-tion and ultrasonic, liquid penetrant, visual and radiographic examination of mockups which closely resembled the Limerick N2 nozzles. The mockups were subjected to the MSIP followed by the evaluation and NDE techniques.

Ultrasonic indications were detected similar to those found in the Limerick nozzles in terms of size and location. Metallurgical samples containing the UT reflectors were compared to pre-MSIP specimens. The samples showed no discernible evidence of defects, or metallurgical anomalies to which the ultrasonic indications could be attributed.

Additionally, no PT, VT or RT indications were observed. On June 22, 1989, the licensee will demonstrate to the NRC the ultrasonic condition of the questionable welds and its capability of performing a meaningful volumetric inservice inspection of those welds.

3. Seabrook Since initial criticality on June 13, 1989, the licensee has conducted low power physics testing without any significant problems.

Extensive drug screening effort was initiated on June 16, 1989 in response I to the FBI arrest of one (non-nuclear) Turkey Point employee for drug distribution. The testing started with management, supervisors, and licensed individuals and working through to contractors. As of 6:00 p.m.

June 22, 1989, the licensee had tested 915 employees, and had received 456 test results from the preliminary tests. While no confirmed results have been " positive," the initial onsite screen has caused 7 samples to be referred to the offsite laboratory for confirmatory testing. One mid-level supervisor has refused the test and has been suspended. Miami, Florida, and local media coverage has been extensive and is expected over the weekend. FBI investigation is continuing. The State of Florida Attorney General has also shown interest in criminal investigation.

5. Clinton Nuclear Power Station On Friday, June 16, 1989, the Region III Administrator and members of the Regional and NRR staffs met with Illinois Power Company (IP) management at the Clinton site for a plant tour, a management meeting and to discuss the restart provision of Confirmatory Action Letter CAL-RIII-80 ^16 regarding the recirculation (RR) pump seal failure event of Ju 1, 1989.

The licensee presented the results of the investigations and proposed corrective actions. Although no conclusive root cause of the seal failures was determined, the licensee believed installation error was the most probable cause. Discussions of actions related to the motor operated feed pump feed regulating valve (FRV) problems and the drywell chiller trip were also presented. The FRV problems were expected to be reduced by moving the control circuitry junction box from the valve operator to a stationary location on the wall so it will be less susceptible to JUNE 23, 1989 ENCLOSURE N

5. Clinton Nuclear Power Station (continued) vibration. IP is also pursuing long term solutions to historical problems with this FRV. Root cause of the drywell chiller trip is believed to be due to the momentary decrease in service water pressure at the chiller inlet due to the increased heat load caused by the event. This pressure fluctuation coincident with a high setpoint on the low pressure trip is believed to have caused the trip. To prevent recurrence, IP lowered the trip setpoint and installed a pulsation dampener in the pressure sensor line to darpen out the initial pressure decrease spike. Because no conclusive root cause of the RR pump seal failures could be determined, IP committed to perform increased monitoring of several parameters on the RR pumps during the startup and to keep the NRC informed of any anomalies.

At the end of the meeting, based on the IP proposed actions, the Region III Administrator authorized startup of the Clinton plant. Subsequently, E on June 19, 1989, the Clinton reactor was taken critical at 8:56 a.m., E l but was summarily shut back down due to discovery of two room temperature l instruments which were out of calibration and uncertainty as to how extensive that problem was. The plant was brought critical again at 10:14 p.m. on June 19. However, during plant heatup, it was discovered that upper seal staging pressure in the "B" RR pump was not tracking which was found to be due to a shut instrument isolation valve. This deficient condition alcng with the failure of IP management to properly communicate the commitments from the management meeting on June 16 to the operating shift personnel, and the resultcnt failure by the shift to honor these commitments, resulted in a call from the Deputy Regional Administrator (DRA) to the Senior Vice President of IP and a hold on Clinton's startup. Following licensee actions to prevent recurrence, the DRA released IP to continue Clinton's startup. As of 7:00 a.m.,

June 22, 1989, Clinton had completed the startup through 50% power with the seals on both RR pumps performing satisfactorily in both slow and fast speed, and the FRV and the drywell chiller performing satisfactorily as well.

a. International OSART inspections of nuclear power plants.

The paper..should address the goals of the OSART' inspection, how those goals are accomplished, and- )

recommend constructive-suggestions, if appropriate, which a may prove useful.to IAEA. The report should also address l the OSART inspection of Calvert Cliffs and provide the )

introspective lessons learned from the Calvert Cliffs j experience.

b. Economic incentive arrangements for nuclear power plants.

This analysis.should. include the following:

1) an update of NUREG-1256;
2) a plant-by-plant description'of the types of incentive-based programs that are in place or under consideration;
3) an assessment of the potential financial impact of such arrangements on individual utilities, including

CONFERENCE ROOM, ONE WHITE FLINT tl0RTH, ROCKVILLE, MARYLAND (OPEN TO j PUBLIC ATTENDANCE) - SECY to V. Stello,-Jr., EDO dated 6/23/89 i The Commission was briefed by the staff on proposed amendments to 10 CFR Part 35 to require a basic quality assurancelprogram and to modify the reporting and recordkeeping requirements for medical users of radioisotopes.

Chairman Zech emphasized the fact that while the Commission i recognizes that diagnostic errors in the medical use of 1 radioisotopes are low, the' Commission, nevertheless, believes that there exists room for improvements to further reduce errors in the medical use of radioisotopes.

Commissioner Carr recommended that the staff consider:

a. Retaining the term " misadministration" in the enforcement program, consistent with the graduated level of enforcement action related to the seriousness of the violation.
b. Placing more emphasis on inspection and less on the review of programmatic issues in the continuing regulatory program for assessing the effectiveness of licensees' medical quality assurance programs.
