SUMMARY OF FINDINGS

IR 05000413/2015-001, 05000414/2015-001; 1/1/2015 - 3/31/2015; Catawba Nuclear Station, Units 1 and 2; Integrated Inspection Report

The report covered a three-month period of inspection by the resident inspectors and seven regional reactor inspectors. The NRC's program for overseeing the safe operation of commercial nuclear power reactors is described in NUREG-1649, "Reactor Oversight Process" Revision 5. No NRC or self-revealing findings were identified.

REPORT DETAILS

Summary of Plant Status Unit 1 operated at or near 100 percent rated thermal power (RTP) for the entire inspection period. Unit 2 operated at or near 100 percent RTP until February 28, 2015, when the unit was shutdown for a refueling outage. On March 31, 2015, Unit 2 startup to Mode 2 was completed with zero power physics testing in progress at the end of the inspection period.

REACTOR SAFETY

Cornerstones: Initiating Events, Mitigating Systems, Barrier Integrity

1R01 Adverse Weather Protection

a. Inspection Scope

Adverse Weather Conditions: The inspectors reviewed the licensee's severe weather actions following freezing temperatures on January 7, 2015. This included a review of actions required by OP/0/B/6700/015, "Weather Related Activities" and PT/0/B/4700/038, "Cold Weather Protection," to ensure measures were taken to protect mitigating systems from adverse weather effects. Documents reviewed are listed in the Attachment.

Flood Protection Measures - External: The inspectors reviewed the licensee's external flood protection features. The inspectors performed a walkdown of external site areas including designated Type I and Type II inlet catch basins, cooling tower yard berms, and diesel generator (DG) room access curbs and seals which are designed to protect safety-related facilities from flooding during a local probable maximum precipitation event. The walkdown included observing that the steel gratings on four sides and top of the basins were intact. To the extent possible, the inspectors visually observed the basins and pipe cavities to determine that the areas were free of debris accumulation and that no significant blockage of the drains was apparent. The inspectors also observed the condition of berms and seals to verify that their physical condition had not degraded and they were capable to fulfill their designed functions. The inspectors reviewed the corrective action program documents to ascertain that the licensee was identifying issues and resolving them. Documents reviewed are listed in the Attachment.

b. Findings

No findings were identified.

1R04 Equipment Alignment

a. Inspection Scope

Partial Walkdowns: The inspectors performed three partial system walkdowns during the activities listed below to assess the operability of redundant or diverse trains and components when safety-related equipment was inoperable. The inspectors performed walkdowns to identify any discrepancies that could impact the function of the system and, therefore, potentially increased risk. The inspectors reviewed applicable operating procedures and walked down system components, selected breakers, valves, and support equipment to determine if they were in the correct position to support system operation. The inspectors reviewed protected equipment sheets, maintenance plans, and system drawings to determine if the licensee had properly identified and resolved equipment alignment problems that could cause initiating events or impact the capability of mitigating systems or barriers and entered them into the corrective action program.

Documents reviewed are listed in the Attachment.

  • 2B nuclear service water (RN) train while the A RN pit was de-watered for planned maintenance
  • 2A DG with 2B out of service for pre-outage maintenance
  • 2B DG with 2A out of service for pre-outage maintenance

b. Findings

No findings were identified.

1R05 Fire Protection

a. Inspection Scope

Fire Protection Walkdowns: The inspectors walked down accessible portions of the five plant areas listed below to assess the licensee's control of transient combustible material and ignition sources, fire detection and suppression capabilities, fire barriers, and any related compensatory measures. The inspectors observed the fire protection suppression and detection equipment to determine whether any conditions or deficiencies existed which could impair the operability of that equipment. The inspectors selected the areas based on a review of the licensee's safe shutdown analysis probabilistic risk assessment and sensitivity studies for fire-related core damage accident sequences. Documents reviewed are listed in the Attachment.

  • Unit 1 auxiliary building 543 level (Fire Area 4)
  • Unit 1 CA turbine driven pump pit (Fire Area 40)
  • 2B DG room (Fire Area 28)

b. Findings

The inspectors reviewed raw water inspections and associated preventive maintenance activities associated with the Unit 2 refueling outage. Areas reviewed were the 2A and 2B component cooling (KC) system heat exchangers and 2B containment spray (NS) system heat exhanger. Documents reviewed are listed in the Attachment.

b. Findings

No findings were identified.

1R08 Inservice Inspection Activities

a. Inspection Scope

Non-Destructive Examination Activities and Welding Activities From March 09, 2015, through March 18, 2015, the inspectors conducted an onsite review of the implementation of the licensee's inservice inspection (ISI) program for monitoring degradation of the reactor coolant system boundary, risk-significant piping and component boundaries, and containment boundaries in Unit 2.

The inspectors either directly observed or reviewed the following non-destructive examinations (NDEs), mandated by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code (BPVC) (Code of Record: 1998 Edition with 2000 Addenda) to evaluate compliance with the ASME Code,Section XI and Section V requirements, and if any indications or defects were detected, to evaluate if they were dispositioned in accordance with the ASME Code or an NRC-approved alternative requirement. The inspectors also reviewed the qualifications of the NDE technicians performing the examinations to determine whether they were current, and in compliance, with the ASME Code requirements.

  • radiographic testing (RT), CN-2ND-41-16, pipe to elbow weld, Class 2 (reviewed)
  • penetrant testing (PT), 2NC74-16, pipe to pipe weld, Class 2 (observed)
  • ultrasonic testing (UT), 2ND40-5, pipe to elbow, Class 2 (observed)
  • UT, 2ND40-6, pipe to elbow, Class 2 (observed) The inspectors reviewed the following welding activities, qualification records, and associated documents in order to evaluate compliance with procedures, and the ASME Code,Section XI and Section IX requirements. Specifically, the inspectors reviewed the work order, repair and replacement plan, weld data sheets, welding procedures, procedure qualification records, welder performance qualification records, and NDE reports.
  • 2CA60 Weld 26, elbow to pipe weld, Class 2
  • 2CA60 Weld 29, pipe to elbow weld, Class 2
  • 2ND41-16, pipe to elbow weld, Class 2 During non-destructive surface and volumetric examinations performed since the previous refueling outage, the licensee did not identify any relevant indications that were analytically evaluated and accepted for continued service; therefore, no NRC review was completed for this inspection procedure attribute.

Pressurized Water Reactor Vessel Upper Head Penetration Inspection Activities The inspectors verified that for the Unit 2 vessel head, a bare metal visual (BMV)examination, and a volumetric examination were not required during this outage, in accordance with the requirements of ASME Code Case N-729-1 and 10 CFR 50.55a(g)(6)(ii)(D). The inspectors reviewed the calculation of effective degradation years, the previous examination history, and reviewed the results of the visual testing (VT) examination performed under the vessel head insulation, to verify that the examinations were performed in accordance with the requirements of ASME Code,Section XI, Article IWA-2212 requirements, and the frequency was consistent with the code case. The licensee did not identify any relevant indications that were accepted for continued service. Additionally, the licensee did not perform any welding repairs to the vessel head penetrations since the beginning of the last Unit 2 refueling outage; therefore, no NRC review was completed for these inspection procedure attributes. Boric Acid Corrosion Control Inspection Activities The inspectors reviewed the licensee's boric acid corrosion control program (BACCP)activities to determine if the activities were implemented in accordance with the commitments made in response to NRC Generic Letter 88-05, "Boric Acid Corrosion of Carbon Steel Reactor Pressure Boundary Components in PWR Plants," and applicable industry guidance documents. Specifically, the inspectors performed an onsite records review of procedures, and the results of the licensee's containment walkdown inspections performed during the current refueling outage. The inspectors also interviewed the BACCP owner, conducted an independent walkdown of containment to evaluate compliance with licensee's BACCP requirements, and verified that degraded or non-conforming conditions such as boric acid leaks, were properly identified and corrected in accordance with the licensee's BACCP and corrective action program (CAP).

The inspectors reviewed the following engineering evaluations, completed for evidence of boric acid leakage, to determine if the licensee properly applied applicable corrosion rates to the affected components; and properly assessed the effects of corrosion induced wastage on structural or pressure boundary integrity, in accordance with the licensee procedures.

  • C-14-07036 - 2-NB-VA-503 active boron leak from pipe cap
  • C-14-08870 - Leakage rate increase from 2-FW-VA-27A packing
  • C-14-11568 - Excessive boron accumulation on 2-NV-FT-5320 fittings The inspectors reviewed the following condition reports and associated corrective actions related to evidence of boric acid leakage, to evaluate if the corrective actions completed were consistent with the requirements of the ASME Code and 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion XVI.
  • C-15-01764 - Boron deposits on reactor vessel BMI tube 22
  • C-15-02187 - Self-identified leaks during boric acid walkdown Steam Generator Tube Inspection Activities The inspectors reviewed the eddy current (EC) examination activities performed in Unit 2 steam generators (SGs) A, B, C and D during this current refueling outage, to verify compliance with the licensee's technical specifications (TSs), ASME BPVC Section XI, and Nuclear Energy Institute 97-06, "Steam Generator Program Guidelines."

The inspectors reviewed the scope of the EC examinations and the implementation of scope expansion criteria to verify these were consistent with the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) Pressurized Water Reactor Steam Generator Examination Guidelines, Revision 7. The inspectors reviewed documentation for a sample of EC data analysts, probes, and testers to verify that personnel and equipment were qualified to detect the applicable degradation mechanisms, in accordance with the EPRI Examination Guidelines. This review included a sample of site-specific examination technique specification sheets (ETSSs) to verify that their qualification and site-specific implementation were consistent with Appendix H and I respectively, of the EPRI Examination Guidelines. The inspectors also reviewed a sample of EC data for SG tubes A-R44C23, B-R29C38, B-R11C58, D-R29C75, D-R20C107, and D-R20C75 with a qualified data analyst, to confirm that data analysis and equipment configuration were performed in accordance with the applicable ETSSs, and site-specific analysis guidelines. The inspectors verified that recordable indications were detected and sized in accordance with vendor procedures. The inspectors selected a sample of degradation mechanisms from the Unit 2 degradation assessment report (i.e., anti-vibration bar wear and axial inside diameter stress corrosion cracking), and verified that their respective in-situ pressure testing criteria were determined in accordance with the EPRI Steam Generator Integrity Assessment Guidelines, Revision 3. Additionally, the inspectors reviewed EC indication reports to determine whether tubes with relevant indications were appropriately screened for in-situ pressure testing. The inspectors also compared the latest EC examination results with the last condition monitoring and operational assessment report for Unit 2, to assess the licensee's prediction capability for maximum tube degradation and the number of tubes with indications. The inspectors verified that the licensee's evaluation was conservative, and that current examination results were bound by the operational assessment projections.

The inspectors assessed the latest EC examination results to verify that new degradation mechanisms, if any, were identified and evaluated before plant startup.

The review of EC examination results included the disposition of potential loose part indications on the SG secondary side, to verify that corrective actions for evaluating and retrieving loose parts were consistent with the EPRI Guidelines. The inspectors also reviewed a sample of primary-to-secondary leakage data for Unit 2, to confirm that operational leakage in each SG remained below the detection or action level threshold during the previous operating cycle. The inspectors' review included the implementation of tube repair criteria and repair methods to verify they were consistent with plant TSs and industry guidelines. The inspectors verified that the licensee had selected the appropriate tubes for plugging based on the required plugging criteria. The inspectors reviewed the tube plugging procedure and directly observed tube plugging activities for tube B-R24C49, to determine if the licensee installed the tube plugs in accordance with the applicable procedures.

Furthermore, the inspectors interviewed licensee staff and reviewed a sample of inspection results for the secondary side internals of SGs A, B, C, and D, to verify that potential areas of degradation based on site-specific operating experience were inspected, and appropriate corrective actions were taken to address degradation indications. This review included the results of foreign object search and retrieval (FOSAR) activities in all SGs.

Identification and Resolution of Problems The inspectors reviewed a sample of ISI-related issues entered into the CAP to determine if the licensee had appropriately described the scope of the problem, and had initiated corrective actions. The review also included the licensee's consideration and assessment of operating experience events applicable to the plant. The inspectors performed this review to ensure compliance with 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion XVI, "Corrective Action," requirements.
