The PIM includes only items from inspection reports or other docketed correspondence between the NRC and DLC. The IRPM may also have considered some predecisional and draft material that does not appear in the attached PIM, including observations from events and inspections that had occurred since the last NRC inspection report was issued, but had not yet received full review and consideration. This material will be placed in the Public Document Room as part of the normalissuance of NRC inspection reports and other correspondence.

SUBJECT:

Mid-Year inspection Resource Planning Meeting - BEAVER VALLEY POWER STATION

Dear Mr. Cross:

On November 10,1998, the NRC staff held an inspection resource planning meeting (IRPM). The IRPM provided a coordinated mechanism for Region I to adjust inspection schedules, as needed, prior to the conclusion of the Plant Performance Review cycle in May 1999. contains a historicallisting of plant issues, referred to as the Plant issues Matrix (PIM), that were considered during this IRPM process to arrive at an integrated view of licensee performance trends. The PIM includes only items from inspection reports or other docketed correspondence between the NRC and DLC. The IRPM may also have considered some predecisional and draft material that does not appear in the attached PIM, including observations from events and inspections that had occurred since the last NRC inspection report was issued, but had not yet received full review and consideration. This material will be placed in the Public Document Room as part of the normalissuance of NRC inspection reports and other correspondence.

This letter advises you of our planned inspection effort resulting from the Beaver Valley Power Station IRPM review. It is provided to minimize the resource impact on your staff and to allow for scheduling conflicts and personnel availability to be resolved in advance of inspector arrival onsite. Enclosure 2 details our inspection plan for the next 6 months.

Resident inspections are not listed due to their ongoing and continuous nature.

We willinform you of any changes to the inspection plan. If you have any questions, please contact me at (610) 337-5234.

BEAVER VALLEY I & 2 PLANT ISSUES MATRIX Date Type Source ID SFA Code item Description 9/15/98 Positive IR 98-04 N

1-OPS 5A The licensee developed and implemented a Unit 1 Restart Action Plan (RAP) to 387 SC provide assurance that known conditions adverse to quality were corrected and that personnel, processes, and equipment were ready for unit restart. Corrective actions to address weaknesses in Technical Specification compliance were comprehensive. The RAP and its implementation were appropriate to address the root causes for the extended forced unit outage.

9/15/98 Positive IR 98-04 L

1-OPS SA The post trip critique and event response team report identified several important 386 5C causes and corrective actions for the trip. The inspectors identified several information gathering / assessment deficiencies, including the lack of recommended actions to improve steam generator level control during subsequent feedwater regulating valve

'Jansfer evolutions. Plant management took appropriate actions to address these concerns prior to authorizing plant restart. Operating crew seminars, conducted prior to unit restart, effectively focussed on crew awareness and communications.

9/15/98 Negative IR 98-04 S

1-OPS 3A On August 11, Unit 1 tripped from 24% reactor power due to a steam generator (SG) 385 3B level transient experienced while transferring feedwater flow control from the bypass feedwater reguisting valve (FRV) to the main FRV. Prier to the trip, operators did not fully discuss and recognize the effects of placing a failed steam flow instrument in trip, which enabled the reactor to trip at a higher SG water level. Operators responded properly to the reactor trip.

9/15/98 Positive IR 98-04 N

1-OPS 1A Command and control prior to and during the August 11, Unit 1 reactor startup were 384 3A good. The prestartup containment walkdown as well as the preevolution briefing for startup were comprehensive. Maintenance personnel responded promptly and effectively coordinated with operations persont el to resolve concerns regarding instrument indications.

8/5/98 LER 1R 98-03 L

1-OPS 2A TS 3.0.3 Entry Due to Two Analog Rod Position Indicator (ARPI) Channels inoperable.

370.6 LER 1-97-23 8/5/98 LER 1R 98-03 L

1-CPS 3B Engineered Safety Feature Actuation of the P-12 Interlock Due to Decreasing Water 370.3 LER 1-97-22 Temperature.

BEAVER VALLEY l & 2 PLANT ISSUES MATRIX Date Type Source ID SFA Code item Description 8/5/98 NCV 1R 98-03 L

1-OPS SC During review of a previous event, the licensee identified three instances during which 370 Positive NCV 98 TS required shutdown margin determinations were not performed. The identification of LER 03 this issue and subsequent corrective actions were good. Corrective actions for a LER 1 previous violation associated with configuration control for a Unit 1 pressurizer power 12-01,02 operated relief valve (PORV) were properly implemented to preclude recurrence of a similar event. (Noncited Violation of TS 4.1.1.1.1.a; Enforcement Discretion per Vll.B.1 of the Enforcement Policy) 8/5/98 Negative IR 98-03 N

1-OPS 1C Implementation of several TS amendments, and communication of approved changes 369 to the UFSAR for use by the station's staff were poor.

8/5/98 NCV IR 98-03 L

1-OPS 3A On April 7,1998, a Unit 2 quench spray (QS) pump experienced a significant water 368 Negative NCV 98 SC hammer event. Several process barriers failed including the corrective actions for 02 similar previous events, system restoration procedures, planning, and scheduling. The final barrier failed when operations personnel did not fully resolve valid safety concerns prior to performing a surveillance test during which the water hammer occurred.

Although the QS system was not damaged, this condition represented a failure of the licensee corrective action program. The event critique and Multi-discipline Analysis Team (MDAT) assessments were excellent. The MDAT recommended comprehensive corrective actions to address this event. (Noncited Violation of 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion XVI; Enforcement Discretion per Vll.B.1 of the Enforcement Policy) 8/5/98 Positive IR 98-03 N

1-OPS 1C The controls instituted for the TS 3.0.6 amendment, including procedure changes and 367 training, were sufficient and in place prior to implementation.

8/5/98 Positive IR 98-03 N

1-OPS 1C The licensee review of alarm response procedures generally identified all Technical 366 SC Specification (TS) related issues and improved operator awareness of TS 3.0.3 entry conditions. The alarm response procedures were adequate for proper operator response.

8/5/98 VIO IR 98-03 N

1-OPS 3A The licensee experienced an increase in the number of personnel performance 365 Negative ViO 98 SC problems. The partial stop work order issued by the plant manager was important to 01 focus workers on proper attention to detail. Although some improvement was noted, human performance errors continued after the stop work order was !ifted. The errors resulted in additional out-of-service time for safety related equipment, and failu:e of operations personnel to be aware of plant conditions including inoperability of safety related equipment. (Violation of TS 6.8.1a) 2 of 10

BEAVER VALLEY I & 2 PLANT ISSUES MATRIX Date Type Source ID SFA Code item Description 4/25/98 Positive IR 98-02 N

1-OPS 1C Corrective actions to previously identified configuration control deficiencies were 359 3A effective. The number of component misposition events was dramatically reduced.

SC Operator adherence to procedures and identification of procedure deficiencies improved.

4/25/98 Positive IR 98-02 N

1-OPS SC The licensee developed a comprehensive Restart Action Plan by which the 358 organization could implement corrective actions for known material, process, and performance deficiencies which had led to the current forced outages on both units.

Appropriate independent oversight was established and senior management maintained both units in a safe condition pending plant readiness for transition to the four established plant restart milestones.

4/25/98 Positive IR 98-02 N

1-OPS 1C A two day training course was conducted for over 400 station personnel to improve 357 3B knowledge and understanding of technical specification compliance. The training plan was excellent and provided a wide range of examples which were specifically selected to enhance training effectiveness across the varied background of the attendees. A major strength of the training was the broad scope of people trained. Training effectiveness was evaluated through highly challenging written examinations.

3-ENG 5A The licensee identified binding issues associated with thirty Unit 2 check valves.

392 Positive NCV 98 5B Causal analysis for this issue during the last refueling outage was incomplete, which LER 02 SC contributed to several additional failures occurring during this outage. Although the LER 1 valves affected multiple safety systems, the safety significance was low due to 22-00,-01 redundant, diverse isolation valves for each of the check valves affected. Licensee investigation, root cause analysis, quality contr e and corrective action during this period were comprehensive.

3-ENG 2B The normal practice of venting the high head safety injection pumps prior to 378 Negative VIO 98 4C surveillance testing without the assurance that adverse conditions will be detected and 06 corrected was a violation. Previous corrective actions to address this issue were comprehensive. (Violation of 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion XI) 8/5/98 Positive IR 98-03 N

3-ENG 1C The licensee's staff exhibited an appropriate questioning attitude resulting in the 376 4C identification of many questions regarding interpretation of TS requirements and the adequacy of plant procedures to meet them. Risk insights were generally integrated into the backlog prioritization process as evidenced by about 80 percent of the identified top risk significant backlog items being less than two years old. However, risk insights were not fully utilized for design change requests and pending design change packages. These items constituted the majority of the risk significant backlog items greater than two years old.

3-ENG 4C in response to an NRC violation, the licensee identified over twenty additional 375 Positive IR 98-04 5A instances where the station TS were not sufficient to ensure the station would operate eel 98-03-05 5B within the existing UFSAR accident analysis. These discrepancies affected the reactor NCV 98 SC protection system, engineered safety features, and various safety related system 03 requirements. Licensee actions from approximately 1990 to 1997 were inadequate, in that station design was not properly maintained, conditions adverse to quality were not corrected, and TS were not properly maintained. In response to an NRC violation, the licensee performed an extent of condition review which identified numerous design issues for which the TSs were non-conservative. Appropriate corrective actions including interim administrative controls, development of TS amendment requests, and process revisions to ensure the facility is operated within its design basis were established. Interdepartmental coordination and the quality of engineering work to resolve the issues were excellent. The safety significance of the design issues was low and the licensee correctly determined that Unit 1 could restart prior receiving TS amendment approval from the NRC for the subject issues.
