==1.0 INTRODUCTION==
This Report presents the results of the Seismic Walkdown conducted for the Beaver Valley Nuclear Power Plant Unit 1 (BVl) in support of FirstEnergy Nuclear Operating Company's (FENOC) response to NTTF Recommendation 2.3 in NRC 50.54(f) Letter, dated March 12, 2012. Consistent with the guidelines in Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI)Report 1025286, "Seismic Walkdown Guidance for Resolution of Fukushima Near-Term Task Force Recommendation 2.3: Seismic" the walkdown implements the procedure described in Section 5.0 of this report.2.0 SEISMIC LICENSING BASIS The seismic licensing basis is contained in the Unit 1 Updated Final Safety Analysis Report (UFSAR).Geologic and seismologic surveys of the site were conducted to establish two design earthquakes with different intensities of ground motion. These are the operating basis earthquake (OBE) and the design basis earthquake (DBE). The OBE and DBE are considered equivalent to 1/2/2 Safe Shutdown Earthquake and the Safe Shutdown Earthquake (SSE), respectively.
The OBE is the earthquake which is of sufficient probability of occurrence to require its resulting ground accelerations at the site to be considered for operational loadings.
The OBE produces the vibratory ground motion for which the Seismic Category I structures, systems and components are designed to remain operational without undue risk to the health and safety of the public. The OBE is considered to be a modified Mercalli Intensity VI as measured at the site.The DBE/SSE is that earthquake giving rise to the maximum vibratory ground acceleration at a site which can be reasonably predicted from geologic and seismic evidence.The structures, systems and components designated Seismic Category I are designed to withstand, without loss of capability to protect the public, the most severe environmental phenomena ever experienced at the site with appropriate margins included in the design for uncertainties in historical data. All structures, systems and components including instruments and controls where failure might cause or increase the severity of a loss-of-coolant accident or result in an uncontrolled release of excessive amounts of radioactivity, and those structures and components vital to safe shutdown of the reactor are defined as Seismic Category I. Note that the 1 classification of Seismic Category I was previously designated as "Seismic Class I." These two terms are considered equivalent for which the above definition applies. The seismically analyzed systems and components of the plant are necessary to assure: (1) the integrity of the reactor coolant pressure boundary, (2) the capability to shut down the reactor and maintain it in a safe shutdown condition or (3) the capability to prevent or mitigate the consequences of accidents which could result in potential offsite exposures comparable to the guideline exposure of 10 CFR 100.The design earthquakes, OBE and DBE, for the plant are specified by OBE and DBE design response spectra. These criteria are based on the plant site geologic investigations and seismologic recommendations as discussed in Section 2.5 and Appendix B of the Unit 1 UFSAR.The design is based on a DBE normalized to 0.125 g and for the Operational Basis Earthquake (OBE) normalized to 0.06 g. Analysis and design are based on response spectra as shown in UFSAR Figure 2.5-1 and 2.5-2 for the DBE and OBE, respectively.
Dynamic amplification factors used for these spectra are such as to give a maximum spectral acceleration of 0.44 g for two percent damping for the DBE with appropriate relative values for other amounts of damping.The spectra are flat from 2 to 5 Hz (0.2 to 0.5 second period) and reduce 'to an amplification ratio of unity for frequency exceeding 20 Hz.The response of plant structure are obtained through modal analysis of a multi-mass dynamic model which closely approximates the physical and response characteristics of the structure.
Masses are normally lumped at floor elevations and include the floor system, a portion of the walls above and the walls below the floor system, and major component and equipment loads. In addition, masses are located at elevations where any other response values are required.
Spring elements between masses represent building structural characteristics and are based on equivalent structural flexibilities.
These structural representations provide for the inclusion of torsional effects as a part of the dynamic output.2 FREDENCI1EMP~

These are stable, relatively incompressible soils which provide a safe and adequate foundation for the power station. Settlements during construction were minor and settlements following operation will be negligible.
The surface soils of the terrace are slightly looser than the deeper lying soils and these near surface soils were removed beneath the structures and replaced with densely compacted granular fill. The surface of the terrace has been eroded within the limits of the turbine building to below desired foundation grade. Clay soils in this region were removed and replaced under the turbine building and the transformers with densely compacted granular fill to afford a safe and adequate foundation for these structures.
There is no hazard of liquefaction for the soils underlying the station under earthquake conditions.
Properties of the soil under dynamic loadings have been evaluated and proper cognizance taken of relative displacements between structures for piping design; the effects of earthquake loadings on lateral soil pressures on the containment structure and other earth retaining structures; and stability of slopes under earthquake and fluctuating water levels.For the Beaver Valley Nuclear Power Plant Unit I design SSC spectra refer to Figure 2-1.3 1.0 Beaver Va ley Unit 1 SSE fS% Spectra 0.8 --.. ...... -r-" 0 0.6*Z.0.4 0.2 -0.0 0.1 1 10 100 Frequency

Reddington
* R. Muller* D. Wakefield" F. Beigi The ABS Consulting Walkdown Team consisted of the following individuals: " F. Beigi" E. Guerra" A. Helffrich 4 Additionally, J. Reddington served as the reviewer of the Licensing Basis and of the Individual Plant Examination External Events (IPEEE). Mr. M. Alvi served as the lead peer reviewer for this effort.The seismic walkdown personnel, peer reviewer and lead peer reviewer possess technical degrees from accredited universities and have been trained in the application of seismic experience data for seismic verification of nuclear power plant (NPP) structures, systems, and components (SSC). In addition to completion of the NTTF 2.3 training provided by EPRI these individuals (J. Reddington, M. Alvi, F. Beigi, E. Guerra and A. Helffrich) have also completed the EPRI Seismic Qualification Utility Group (SQUG) training.
Resumes and certificates of the walkdown team members are presented in Appendix A of this report.The above mentioned individuals have experience in earthquake engineering and seismic analysis.
Additionally, the team collectively represents previous Nuclear Power Plant walkdowns experience associated with the A-46 program, IPEEE, and recent Fukushima related stress tests for plants outside the United States.Based on their knowledge of plant documentation, associated SSCs, equipment classes, and the previous IPEEE evaluation, these individuals also supported equipment selection, walkdown planning, equipment location determination, and selection of walk-by areas for the 2.3 Seismic Walkdown.4.0 SELECTION OF SSCS Consistent with the guidance in EPRI 1025286, "Seismic Walkdown Guidance," (Reference 1)dated May, 2012, the process of selecting the SSCs for inclusion of the Seismic Walkdown Equipment List (SWEL) 1 and SWEL 2 in support of the walkdown began with the creation of larger lists. The development of the list for SWEL 1 is presented first in Section 4.1 and it is followed by that for SWEL 2 in Section 4.2.4.1 DEVELOPMENT OF THE SWEL 1 LIST (RELATED TO KEY SAFETY FUNCTIONS)
The EPRI guidance document (Reference
: 1) says that using the previously developed IPEEE seismic equipment list as a starting point for category 1 SSCs is acceptable provided it covers all of the five safety functions requested, including the containment function.ABS Consulting has assisted FENOC in developing a seismic equipment list (SEL) for use in a seismic probabilistic risk assessment (SPRA) for Beaver Valley Unit 1. An existing internal 5 PRA model is often a prerequisite to developing such a seismic PRA. For example, the PRA modeling logic for non-seismic events was used as a starting point for the seismic PRA plant response model. It was therefore decided, to combine the lists of SSCs from both the currently available Beaver Valley Unit 1 PRA (i.e., working model BVlR5FLl, based on Reference 7)and the Beaver Valley Unit 1 IPEEE SEL list of 1920 SSCs (Reference 2). Duplicate SSCs, caused by (1) overlap between the two lists and (2) because the PRA contains multiple basic events for failure mode of a single component, were removed. Information about the original source of the remaining SSCs was retained.
In short the requirements in the EPRI walkdown guidance document in preparing the SSC SEL list were adequately satisfied.
However, during SSC sampling in preparation for the walkdown, selections were generally made preferentially from the IPEEE lists of SSCs. This is because the design packages were more likely to be available for these SSCs, so that advantage could be taken of the earlier design review work.SSCs from other sources were also chosen so that they were useful for seismic PRA purposes, but did not appear on either source list. For example, panels to be represented in the still evolving internal fire PRA and tanks represented in the PRA for internal floods were also reviewed for possible inclusion.
Again, duplicate SSCs were eliminated.
The list of SSCs in Tables B-i and B-3 of EPRI 1025286 (Reference
: 1) were also reviewed for completion.
Some SSCs were added as a result of this review.Nuclear steam supply system (NSSS) related SSCs were not required for this application and so were not added to the list. Also excluded were the supports for this equipment along with all the components mounted in or on this NSSS equipment.
Category 1 structures were also added in preparation for the seismic PRA, though they also are not required for the current walkdowns.
Careful attention was paid to the SSCs in the internal events PRA that are included in the modeling of the containment isolation function and for the evaluation of interfacing loss of coolant accident (LOCA) frequencies.
These SSCs were flagged as important to the containment safety function; i.e., they are involved in the computation of large early release frequency (LERF).Additionally, major new and replaced equipment, added to the plant since the performance of the IPEEE and the last Beaver Valley Unit 1 internal events PRA update are noted in a separate column of the developed lists titled "Screen 4d -Major New & Replacement Equip." These events were identified by consulting with long term plant operations staff that identified specific equipment items that had been replaced or overhauled, and by computerized searches of the 6 word "replace" in titles of existing engineering change packages (ECPs). Both lists were then evaluated to match equipment IDs appearing on Base List I with specific ECP numbers, that were judged to be of a major change.While there were no IPEEE vulnerabilities requiring plant changes identified for the Beaver Valley Unit 1 IPEEE, there were modifications performed in response to the assessment of A-46 outliers (References 3 and 4) in nearly the same time frame. The original list of A-46 outliers is documented in Reference 3 along with the initially proposed approaches to outlier resolution.
Some of these approaches involved changes to the plant equipment and were implemented right away. Where judged to be significant, these changes are noted in the column titled "Screen 4e -A46/1IPEEE Vulnerability" in Table 4-1. Additional effort was made to resolve other outliers, the majority of which were resolved by further analysis; i.e., without plant changes. Reference 4 then documented the final resolutions of the outliers that differed from the originally proposed approaches.
These changes were reviewed and those judged to involve significant plant changes are also documented in the column titled "Screen 4e -A46/ IPEEE Vulnerability" in Table 4-1.Once the initial list of SSCs was developed, it was first screened to retain only seismic category 1 quality, equipment.
Whether the SSC is regularly inspected, was also noted as this is justification for a second screen; e.g., for piping systems and containment penetrations.
Attributes of the retained SSCs were collected for the following information:
* Equipment ID" Brief SSC Description" SSC location -by building, elevation, and area description" The room environment where the SSC is located; including radiation level, moisture level, room temperature, and whether the location is inside or outside of plant buildings" System ID; including both frontline and support systems" Key associated safety function from among the list of five safe shutdown and containment functions (i.e., Reactor Reactivity Control, Reactor Coolant Pressure Control, Reactor Coolant Inventory Control, Decay Heat Removal, and Containment Function) and several support system functions mentioned in the EPRI walkdown guidance.
Panels not previously evaluated for their associated safety functions (i.e., from the ongoing PRA for internal fires) were assigned the designator, "ESFAS", and retained for the selection process." Internal event PRA risk achievement worth (RAW) and Fussell-Vesely importance measures, if available.
7 The equipment ID and description fields were used to assign each retained SSC to one of the EPRI equipment categories (from Table A-1 of Reference
: 1) used for fragility analysis.
For some EPRI Categories (i.e., 0, 1, 2, 3 and 20), a sub-category was defined and tracked separately from the original category.
For example, Category la was assigned for 480V breakers that are found within the motor control center (MCC) cabinet (i.e., Category 1). None of the breaker SSCs (i.e., assigned to Category la) were separately selected for the walkdown because they are accounted for already in the selection of MCCs. The check valves and manual valves were assigned to Sub-Category Od, to avoid linking these numerous SSCs with SSCs also assigned to the EPRI other category.
A total of 5 SSCs were selected from the 0 and Od EPRI categories.
All of the EPRI categories were later employed as part of the SSC selection process. Except for EPRI Categories 11 (chillers), 12 (air compressors), and 13 (motor generators) at least one SSC was selected from the other EPRI categories.
Equipment in categories 11, 12, and 13 do appear on the combined list, however, at Beaver Valley Unit 1, none of these equipment are seismic Category 1 and therefore are screened from Base list 1.Base List 1, as defined in the EPRI walkdown guidance is attached as Table 4-1 for Beaver Valley Unit 1. The equipment coming out of Screen #3 and entering Screen #4, make up the"Base List 1". All SSCs in this table are seismic Category 1 SSCs, are not regularly inspected, and are associated with one of the safety functions and supporting systems defined in the EPRI guidance.
They are therefore candidates for the SSC selection process. The column labeled SSC source identifies the original list of SSCs from which the SSC made its way onto the list. In some cases, SSCs appeared on both the original internal PRA and the IPEEE lists for Beaver Valley Unit 1. This is so indicated in the SSC source column.SWEL 1, as defined in the EPRI walkdown guidance (Reference
: 1) is attached as Table 4-2.The format is the same as that in the Base List 1, and the table is the same except that only the selected SSCs are shown. The equipment coming out of Screen #4 and entering the SWEL 1 bucket make up the SWEL 1 list. The selected SSCs have been chosen to account for a variety of systems, equipment types, room environments, and considering whether the SSCs involve new or replaced equipment since the completion of the IPEEE, or are subject to enhancements as a result of findings from the IPEEE and A-46 projects.SWEL 1 includes representative items from some of the variations within each of the above attributes.
A total of 113 SSCs were selected.
Beaver Valley Unit 1 plant operations staff was consulted in the SSC selection process. The selected list of SSCs is largely located in the service 8 building, safeguards building, and auxiliary building, but selections from the intake structure, diesel generator building, and containment are included.
Many of the selected SSCs are from support systems, but there are also SSCs selected from each frontline system. A total of 93 SSCs came from the original IPEEE or current internal events PRA model. SSCs are selected from each of the safety functions, including 9 related to the containment function.
There were 13 SSCs selected that are located in relatively high radiation areas and 22 that are often in damp areas. Most SSCs selected are in cool and dry areas. However, 10 are chosen from normally warm areas and 22 from relatively hot areas.The column in Table 4-2 labeled "Reason for Selection into SWEL I" summarizes the basis for selecting the chosen SSCs. The screens referred to for each SSC are associated with the screen numbers listed across the top of the table. SSCs which are new or subject to a major replacement are assigned a screen of 4d. Also, SSCs subject to an enhancement resulting from the A-46 program or to an IPEEE enhancement are labeled as Screen 4e. For a number of SSCs, the internal events PRA importance rankings (i.e., Screen 4f) indicated that the SSC is risk significant (i.e., RAW>2 or FVI>.005).
A representative set, but not all, of such risk significant SSCs were, therefore, included in the selected list. A number of selected SSCs are located inside the containment.
These SSCs were not accessible and therefore were not examined during the current walkdown effort and are scheduled to be inspected during the next refueling outage (IR22 in 2013).4.2 DEVELOPMENT OF SWEL 2 FOR SPENT FUEL POOL RELATED ITEMS For spent fuel pool related items, there was no starting list of SSCs with which to begin. Instead, the functions of the spent fuel pool systems were reviewed and equipment related to pool cooling and make up were included on a new list. Reference 5 details the operator actions to respond to a loss of spent fuel pool cooling or a loss of inventory.
The functions considered were normal spent fuel pool cooling, spent fuel pool makeup from demineralized water, spent fuel pool makeup using gravity feed from the refueling water storage tank (RWST), and spent fuel pool makeup from the fire protection system or from river water. The equipment identified for these functions in Reference 5 were included in the list along with the SSCs which make up the boundaries of the alternative makeup flow paths. The RWST and CVCS (i.e., from the blender)system were not included .in the spent fuel pool list of SSCs as those systems are included in Base List 1; i.e., see Section 4.1. Noticeably absent from the list are equipment related to spent fuel pool cleanup. The spent fuel pool cleanup equipment is not Seismic Category 1.9 Base List 2 is attached as Table 4-3. The equipment coming out of Screen #2 and entering Screen #3 in Figure 1-2 of the EPRI walkdown guidance report (Reference
: 1) make up "Base List 2." All SSCs on this list are seismic category 1 and involve equipment and systems related to the spent fuel pool. At Beaver Valley Unit 1, the spent fuel pool cooling pumps and heat exchangers are Seismic Category 1 and therefore are included on Base List 2 Attributes of the retained SSCs were collected for the following information: " Equipment ID* Brief SSC Description
* SSC location -by building, elevation, and plant room number" The room environment in where the SSC is located; including radiation level, moisture level, room temperature, and whether the location is inside or outside of plant buildings.
The equipment ID and description fields were used to assign each retained SSC to one of the EPRI equipment Categories used for fragility analysis.
These EPRI categories were later employed as part of the SSC selection process.At Beaver Valley Unit 1, it is not possible to siphon the spent fuel pool level down to less than 9' 6.75" above the top of the spent fuel rack; i.e., failures resulting in a rapid drain-down cannot occur (Reference 6). Therefore, the rapid drain-down list of SSCs is empty for Beaver Valley Unit 1.SWEL 2, as defined in the EPRI walkdown guidance is attached as Table 4-4.There are no entries from rapid drain-down considerations; i.e., from Screen #4. The equipment coming out of Screen #3 and entering the SWEL 2 bucket in Figure 1-2 from the EPRI walkdown guidance report make up this second Seismic Walkdown Equipment List. The format is the same as that in the Base List 2, and the table entries are the same except that only the selected SSCs are shown. The selected SSCs have been chosen to account for a variety of equipment types and room environments.
Since Base List 2 is much shorter than that of Base List 1, and the number of applied screens smaller, the column labeled "Reason for Selection" simply contains the associated EPRI category and a text description of why each SSC was chosen. Since the types of Seismic Category 1 equipment related to the spent fuel pool are limited, so too is the variety of equipment types among the SSCs selected.10
5.0 SEISMIC WALKDOWN AND AREA WALK-BYS This section summarizes the activities prior to, during, and after performing the NTTF 2.3 seismic walkdown and area walk-bys.
It also presents the results and findings of the walkdown and documents the checklists utilized to record the walkdown data.It is concluded that the approach implemented to conduct the seismic walkdowns and area walk-bys satisfies the characteristics and recommendations outlined in EPRI Report 1025286.Therefore, by following these guidelines, the walkdown approach and format of the results documented herein fulfills the requests established in the NRC 50.54(f) letter, Enclosure 3, Recommendation 2.3: Seismic.5.1 WALKDOWN PREPARATION The overall procedure directly implements the EPRI guidelines.
However, due to their unique nature, the following description gives special attention to the (1) selection and execution of the configuration checks of selected anchorage, and (2) the verification of the seismic adequacy of block walls in the vicinity of equipment on the SWEL. EPRI guidelines recommend that a minimum of 50 percent of the equipment considered in the walkdown be examined to document the existing anchorage configurations, and assess this configuration relative to the design basis.It also recommends that the block wall maps be retrieved to document previous evaluations in support of NTTF 2.3.Prior to the walkdowns, the Seismic Walkdown Engineers (SWE) examined available plant documentation associated with (1) anchorage design, and (2) block wall capacity calculations, and correlated these to relevant SWEL components and the respective Seismic Walkdown Checklists (SWC) and Area Walk-By Checklists (AWC). This pre-walkdown activity contributed to gaining familiarity and critical insights regarding the components and areas to be walked down. The relevant design documentation, drawings and calculations were uploaded to each of the SWEs electronic tablets used during the walkdown with the intention of verifying, if required, any anchorage configuration or block wall seismic adequacy.280 5.2 NTTF 2.3 WALKDOWNS The NTTF 2.3 walkdowns at Beaver Valley Unit 1 were performed over a duration of five days from September 10 to September 14, 2012. During the walkdowns, the SWEs completed the walkdown checklists as SWEL components were inspected.
Selected anchorage configurations were verified for 50% of the floor or wall mounted components on the SWEL with respect to design documentation, including anchorage design drawings and A-46/IPEEE calculations.
Masonry walls in the vicinity of SWEL and non-SWEL items were recorded in the SWCs and AWCs. Subsequently, the SWEs verified the seismic adequacy of the block walls based on IE Bulletin 80-11 documentation.
5.3 POST WALKDOWN ACTIVITIES The primary activity after the walkdown involved compiling the SWCs and the AWCs.Additional documentation, such as design calculations and/or A-46/IPEEE submittals, was also reviewed to support configuration checks. Photographs taken during the walkdown were linked to the respective checklists.
Some of the findings of the walkdown that could not readily be dispositioned during the walkdowns were evaluated further through additional calculation/modification package reviews for proper disposition.
The post walkdown activity also developed this walkdown report.6.0
==SUMMARY==
OF THE WALKDOWN RESULTS 6.1 WALK DOWN ITEMS AND WALK-BY AREAS The SWEL 1 included a total of 113 components, and SWEL2 included a total of 8 components.
From this total of 121 components, 108 components were walked down and 13 components were inaccessible and will require walkdown during the next plant's refueling outage. These thirteen items located inside the Containment Building will be walked down later during the next scheduled plant refueling outage. Notification No. 600788346 has been generated to have these walkdowns performed during the next refueling outage. Table 6-1 and Table 6-2 identify the walkdown items and walk-by areas, respectively, and Table 6-3 presents a list of items on the SWEL which were inaccessible while the plant is in operation.
These components will be walked down during the next plant's refueling outage. The areas walk-bys and the walkdown items are 281 cross correlated on the respective SWCs and AWCs. Table 6-4 provides the list of equipment that was walked down.Table 6-1: Beaver Valley 1 NTTF 2.3 Walkdown Items (SWEL 1÷2)Floor Equipment ID No Equip. Class Bldg El Area Description 1CC-E-IA 21.

The plant is well maintained and no major issues related to potentially adverse conditions were uncovered.
In general, based on the number of minor potentially adverse seismic conditions identified during the walkdown, it can be concluded that most components and areas were found to be in good condition and that no major degraded or design non-conformances were identified.
Generally, the nature of the potentially adverse conditions is related to mild corrosive conditions, responsiveness for old deficiency tags and minor discrepancies between existing and as-designed conditions.
Several relatively minor findings are reported here. Observations in this respect are organized on the basis of potentially adverse seismic conditions identified during both Seismic Walkdowns and Area Walk-Bys.6.2.1 Seismic Walkdown Findings The following section presents potentially adverse seismic conditions and findings identified during the Seismic Walkdowns.
A total of 6 potentially adverse seismic conditions were identified during the Seismic Walkdowns.
Table 6-5 provides as summary of all 6 adverse finding conditions identified.
As shown in Table 6-5, only one condition report (CR 2012-14321) was issued, which required Licensing Basis Evaluation.
Justifications for findings for which a Licensing Evaluation is not required are provided in the Component's respective SWC provided in Appendix B.Table 6-5: Potentially Adverse Seismic Conditions Identified from Seismic Walkdowns Description of Licensing Reference No I Equipment Class Adverse Seismic Evaluation for Condition Elt Justification Required No grout below SWC for IEE-EG-1 17.

A total of 10 potentially adverse seismic conditions were identified during the area walk-bys.
Table 6-6 provides a summary of all 10 potentially adverse seismic conditions identified.
As shown in Table 6-6, seven condition reports were issued, which required Licensing Basis Evaluation.
Justifications for findings for which a Licensing Evaluation is not required are provided in the Area's respective AWCs provided in Appendix C.291 Table 6-6: Potentially Adverse Seismic Conditions Identified from Area Walk-Bys Licensing Floor Description of Adverse Basis Reference for Area Bldg El Seismic Condition Evaluation Justification Required INTS Pump Pump I WR-P- IC has 2 C u mp INTS 705 anchor bolts that are Yes CR 2012-13969 Cubicle 3(C) corroded.Black marks identified for AWC for DG DG Room Train A DGBX 735 EDG exhaust No Room Train A Security barrier near PT-Pipe Penetration C SFGB 722 1CV-101B Yes CR 2012-14020 Surface corrosion for valve Pipe Penetration C SFGB 722 IAC-150 Yes CR 2012-13971 Old deficiency tags CR 2012-13972 Various Various Various identified Yes CR21-37 identfiedCR 2012-13974 Main Steam Valve Pipe contact with knee AWC for Main Mntm SFGB 751 brace No Steam Valve Room Room Control Room ceiling tiles AWC for Control Room SRVB 735 No Control Room Potential for spray from AWC for Fuel Fuel Building FULB 735 space heater No Building Prim.

These situations are described briefly below.292 o Security barrier near PT-iCV-IO1B During the area walk-bys, SWEs identified a security shield barrier near a pressure transmitter (PT-iCV-101B) at elevation 722' in the Pipe Penetration C Room located in the Safeguards Building.
This situation presented a potential seismic interaction concern due to the proximity of the barrier with respect to the pressure transmitter.
The Security Shift Supervisor was contacted and immediate action was taken to move the barrier away from the pressure transmitter and be relocated to a safer location.
No further action was required. (Ref. CR 2012-14020) 293
* Surface corrosion for valve JAC-150 While performing the area walk-by for the Pipe Penetration C Room, it was observed that Valve 1AC-150 presented mild corrosion on the valve body. Immediate action was taken and the engineering supervisor was notified about the condition observed.
Notification No. 600785632 was issued in order to clean and paint the corresponding valve. No further action was required since it was judged that the corrosive state will not affect the valve's intended design function.(Ref. CR 2012-13971)
Figure 6-1: Surface corrosion for valve 1 AC- 150 294
* Old deficiency tags identified During the area walk-bys, it was observed that deficiency tags have been in place for various components for an extended period of time apparently, without assessment of the condition.
Condition reports CR-2012-13972 and CR-2012-13974 address the specific components where these tags were indentified.
The SWT proceeded to initiate notification Nos. 600785633 and 600785694 in order to perform the work needed to assess the situation.
The SWE's concluded that the deficiencies identified will not affect the component's intended design functions.
Figure 6-2: Corroded valves with old deficiency tags.CR-2012-13972 issued to address these conditions 295 6.3 CONFIGURATION CHECKS The SWELL 1+2 included 76 items, which were not in-line components such as valves. The process of verifying the anchorage configuration focused on 39 SWEL components arbitrarily selected prior to walkdown proceedings (this is 51% of the SWEL items with anchorage configurations).
Appendix D provides a list of the 39 components comprising the anchorage configuration list linked with the specific references used for verification purposes; i.e., A46/IPEEE Calculations, design drawings, etc.The anchorage configuration for each of the 39 SWEL components listed in Appendix D was verified based on A46/IPEEE Calculations and Plant Design documentation.
SWEs referred to design drawings as the main reference for anchorage verification whenever it was possible to have a complete field inspection of the anchorage.
The design drawings were uploaded onto electronic tablets for quick accessibility during the walkdowns and verification of the as-installed configuration against the design drawings.
In cases where design basis drawings were not readily identifiable, SWEs referred to previous A46/IPEEE Calculations to ensure that the configuration was assessed during the IPEEE program and no design concerns were identified.
These configuration checks verified consistency of as-installed conditions to that of the design drawings/calculations in all 38 instances.
7.0 LICENSING BASIS EVALUATION Nine condition reports (CR) were generated as a result of these walkdowns.
The following is a list of the condition reports written as a result of the walkdowns CR-2012-13969, CR-2012-13970, CR-2012-13971, CR-2012-13972, CR-2012-13974, CR-2012-14020, CR-2012-14047, CR-2012-14321, and CR-2012-14347.
The following summarizes the condition and resolution to the condition reports written as a result of the walkdowns.
CR-2012-13969 It was observed that two out of eight nuts for the bolts anchoring the Pump WR-P-1C to the floor are corroded.
This pump is located inside the intake structure at elevation 705' Cubicle C.Observation concluded that there is only surface rust on the bolts and the nuts. Even though they are corroded, they are capable to perform their intended design function based on engineering 296 judgment.
The two nuts are located side by side. No calculations or drawings are affected since the nuts are able to perform the intended function.Initiated Notification No. 600785650 to replace the nuts under work order 200530167.
CR-2012-13970 It was observed that two out of twelve nuts for the bolts for Component TV-ICC-1 10F2 are corroded.
This component is located inside Safeguard Building at elevation 722' in Pipe Penetration C Room.Observation concluded that there is only surface rust on the bolts and the nuts. Even though they are corroded, they are capable to perform their intended design function based on engineering judgment.
The two corroded nuts are located next to each other. No calculations or drawings are affected since they are able to perform the intended function.Initiated Notification No. 600785631 to replace the nuts under work order 200530160.
CR-2012-13971 It was observed that Valve 1AC-150 has mild corrosion deposited on the valve body. This component is located inside Safeguard Building at elevation 722' in Pipe Penetration C Room.Observation concluded that there is only surface corrosion on the valve body and it is capable to perform its intended design function based on engineering judgment.
No calculations or drawings are affected since the valve only has surface corrosion and it is able to perform the design basis function.Initiated Notification 600785632 to clean the corroded areas under work order 200530161.
CR-2012-13972 It was observed that at elevation 735' in Safeguard Building Quench Spray Room, deficient tags have been in place on various components for extended duration which have not been addressed in a timely fashion. Specifically, following anomalies have been noted: 1. Component IAC-310: Inadequate thread engagement on packing studs and rust on the valve (Ref Tag ID 60734). 1/2 threads lacking engagement in one stud.2. Component TV-1CC-123-2:
Mild corrosion on the component 297
: 3. Component IAC-305: Mild corrosion on the component Observation concluded that the anomalies noted above are such that the components are still capable to perform their intended design basis function based on engineering judgment.
Mild corrosion does not affect calculations or drawings, and thread is still engaged on the other component so design basis is not affected.Initiated Notification Nos. 600785633, 600786401 and 600786402 to perform the work under work orders 200530162, 200530661, and 200530662.
CR-2012-13974 While performing seismic walkdowns per NRC Letter 50.54f Section 2.3, it was observed that at elevation 747' in Safeguard Building Valve Garden, a deficient tag has been in place on the following component since 2003. Ref: Tag ID 45508 Component MOV-1SI-864B (Local Valve Indication Pin sheared off). The local valve indication pin is not required by design basis, and therefore does not violate the design basis documents.
Initiated Notification No. 600785694 to replace the indication pin and close the deficiency tag under work order 200015714.
CR-2012-14020 It was observed that a Security Shield Barrier was located too close to SR Component PT-1CV-1OIB at El. 722' Unit-1 Safeguard Building in Pipe Penetration C Room. This posed a seismic interaction concern that during a seismic event it had a potential to hit the pressure transmitter and potentially make the component not performing its intended design function.The security shift supervisor has been contacted and the shield was moved to a safer location.There is no infringement on the design basis.CR-2012-14047 While performing seismic walkdowns per NRC Letter 50.54f Section 2.3, it was observed that Pipe Support H-70 has a missing anchor bolt. One of the six anchor bolts is missing.298 A review of calculation for Pipe Support H-70 was performed (Ref: Calculation 13387.02-S (B)-24CC2-B), and it concluded that the base plate was qualified with a five bolt configuration.
The missing bolt was noted. Therefore this is only a configuration issue and not a plant operability concern as the support design is in full compliance with the design basis requirements.
Initiated Notification No. 600785698 to update drawings and install a placard on the support noting that it has been analyzed.
Work to be done under work order 200530170.
CR-2012-14321 While performing seismic walkdowns per NRC Letter 50.54f Section 2.3, it was observed that there is a potential of seismic interaction between the Switch Board DC-SWBD1-2 and Battery Charger BAT-CHG 1-2 as they are not connected to each other. These components are located side by side with zero gaps in between them. During a seismic event, there is a potential for these components to bang against each other and cause chatter of relays inside the battery charger.These components are located inside DF Switchgear Room at El 713' in U-I Service Building.This does not violate the design basis documents.
CR-2012-14347 This CR has been generated to capture all the issues in one condition report (roll-up CR) that have been identified during NRC 50.54f Letter Section 2.3 Seismic Walkdowns performed at Beaver Valley Unit-I Plant during the week of September 10, 2012.There are no new anomalies identified in this CR as individual CRs have already been generated as required and as identified in the attached matrix, as such there are no operability concerns associated with this CR. Additionally, an administrative CR (CR-2012-14210) was written which is not reflected in the matrix as it is not associated with any hardware concerns.Because there are no new issues identified in this CR, there is no affect on the design basis.8.0 IPEEE VULNERABILITIES There were no seismic vulnerabilities identified in the IPEEE submittal for Beaver Valley units 1 or 2. This was recognized by the NRC in NUREG-1437 Supplement 36 "Generic Environmental Impact Statement for License Renewal of Nuclear Plants, Supplement 36, Regarding Beaver Valley Power Station Units 1 and 2". Page G20 and 21 states "The NRC staff also notes that the use of the integrated PSA to facilitate identification of SAMAs for external events, the prior 299 implementation of plant modifications for seismic and fire events, and the absence of external event vulnerabilities ensure that the search for external event SAMAs was reasonably comprehensive." Several submittals to the NRC covered A46 enhancements as well as IPEEE enhancements, but none would be classified as vulnerabilities.
Tables identifying IPEEE vulnerabilities are essentially based on these enhancements and the enhancements were incorporated into the walkdown component selection to the extent possible.9.0 PEER REVIEW A peer review of the Submittal Report for the Near Term Task Force NTTF Recommendation 2.3 "Seismic Walkdowns" was performed using the guidance provided in Section 6 of EPRI Document 1025286, "Seismic Walkdown Guidance." Following are the peer reviewers for the Beaver Valley Power Station Unit- 1:* Mohammed Alvi (Team Leader)" John Reddington The peer review process included the following activities: " Review the selection of the SSCs included on the SWEL" Review a sample of the checklists prepared for the seismic walkdowns and area walk-bys" Review the Licensing Basis Evaluations" Review the decisions for entering the potentially adverse conditions into the Corrective Action Program (CAP)." Review the submittal report" Summarize the results of the peer review process in the submittal report A. Review the Selection of the SSCs Included on the SWEL: The peer review concluded that the selection of Seismic Walkdown Equipment List (SWEL) was performed in accordance with guidance provided in Section 3 of EPRI Document 1025286"Seismic Walkdown Guidance." The peer reviewers used the checklist provided in Appendix F of this document which is enclosed.
Also, an ex-Senior Reactor Operator (SRO) from the Beaver Valley Power Station, Unit-1 acted as Operations representative during the selection of the SWEL.300 Appropriate figures 1-1, 1-2 and 1-3 of the EPRI Document 1025286 were used and the final SWEL 1 and SWEL 2 were developed.
The peer review confirmed that the following EPRI screens were used in the selection of SWEL 1: Screen 1: Seismic Category I Screen 2: Equipment or System Screen 3: Support for the five safety functions Screen 4: Sample Considerations The station did use the existing documentation that resulted from IPEEE program in identifying the components.
A matrix/spreadsheet was prepared that identifies all the selected components on SWEL I and SWEL 2. It was confirmed that these two lists did include a variety of type of systems, major new and replacement equipment, a variety of equipment types, a variety of environments in which the components are located, and the equipment enhanced due to vulnerabilities identified during the IPEEE program.It was confirmed that the size of the sample was sufficiently large to include a variety of items that collectively included variations within all the attributes stated in the paragraph above.SWEL 1 for the Beaver Valley Power Station, Unit-1 included 113 components.
The peer review also confirmed that the station used the following EPRI screens in the development of SWEL 2: Screen 1: Seismic Category I Screen 2: Equipment or System Screen 3: Sample Considerations Screen 4: Rapid Drain-Down Similar process was used in the development of SWEL 2 as for SWEL 1. SWEL 2 for the Beaver Valley Power Station, Unit-I included 8 components.

Also, an ex-SRO from the Beaver Valley Power Station, Unit-I acted as Operations representative during the selection of the SWEL.B. Review of a sample of the checklists prepared for the Seismic Walkdowns and Area Walk-Bys EPRI Document 1025286 on Seismic Walkdown Guidance required a review of the sample of the checklists prepared for the seismic walkdowns and area walk-bys by the peer reviewers.
The sample review should be between 10 percent and 25 percent.The following comments were identified during the early stages of peer review and were successfully resolved: A. In some cases, statements regarding minor anomalies (not resulting in a condition report)identified during the walkdowns did not have adequate justification for acceptability in meeting the design basis requirements.
B. In some cases, missing documentation/references/checkmarks.
C. In some cases, minor anomaly stated but no justification provided.D. Editorial and typographical errors The above comments were discussed with the Seismic Walkdown Engineers (SWEs) and were successfully resolved in the final signed version of the checklists.
In addition, the peer reviewers also participated in a sample of walkdowns and observed the work performed by the SWEs during the inspections.
It was noted that the walkdown/inspection was intrusive; walkdown team members discussed issues amongst themselves, and used 307 engineering judgment in making decisions about whether there is any concern that should be noted. In some cases, the lead peer reviewer requested additional photographs.
The lead peer reviewer interviewed the SWEs to verify they followed the guidance in Section 4 of the EPRI Document "Seismic Walkdowns and Area Walk-Bys." The interview concluded that they did follow the said guidance and were knowledgeable about the walkdown requirements.
Questions asked were successfully answered during the interview as well as during the walkdowns.
Four SWEs participated in the walkdowns.
See their resumes for experience and background training.Conclusion:
The seismic walkdown and area walk-by checklists were completed in accordance with the guidance of EPRI Document 1025286 and no major issues were identified.
All comments were successfully resolved.
Adequate documentation has been provided in the checklists for the components that were walked down.C. Review of the Licensing Basis Evaluations The walkdowns identified several minor anomalies; however eight of them resulted in generating condition reports as follows: CR-2012-13969, CR-2012-13970, CR-2012-13971, CR-2012-13972, CR-2012-13974, CR-2012-14020, CR-2012-14047, and CR-2012-14321.
The following summarizes the condition and resolution to the condition reports written as a result of the walkdowns.
However, a ninth CR was written to capture all the issues identified above in one roll up condition report (CR-2012-14347).
: 1. CR-2012-13969 It was observed that two out of eight nuts for the bolts anchoring the Pump WR-P-1C to the floor are corroded.
This pump is located inside the intake structure at elevation 705' Cubicle C.Observation concluded that there is only surface rust on the bolts and the nuts even though they are corroded are capable to perform their intended design function based on engineering judgment.
The two nuts are located side by side. No calculations or drawings are affected since the nuts are able to perform the intended function.308 Initiated Notification No. 600785650 to replace the nuts under work order 200530167.
: 2. CR-2012-13970 It was observed that two out of twelve nuts for the bolts for Component TV-ICC-110F2 are corroded.
This component is located inside Safeguard Building at elevation 722' in Pipe Penetration C Room.Observation concluded that there is only surface rust on the bolts and the nuts. Even though they are corroded, they are capable to perform their intended design function based on engineering judgment.
The two corroded nuts are located next to each other. No calculations or drawings are affected since they are able to perform the intended function.Initiated Notification No. 600785631 to replace the nuts under work order 200530160.
: 3. CR-2012-13971 It was observed that Valve IAC-150 has mild corrosion deposited on the valve body. This component is located inside Safeguard Building at elevation 722' in Pipe Penetration C Room.Observation concluded that there is only surface corrosion on the valve body and it is capable to perform its intended design function based on engineering judgment.
No calculations or drawings are affected since the valve only has surface corrosion and it is able to perform the design basis function.Initiated Notification 600785632 to clean the corroded areas under work order 200530161.
: 4. CR-2012-13972 It was observed that at elevation 735' in Safeguard Building Quench Spray Room, deficient tags have been in place on various components for extended duration which have not been addressed in a timely fashion. Specifically, following anomalies have been noted: A. Component lAC-310: Inadequate thread engagement on packing studs and rust on the valve (Ref Tag ID 60734). 1/2 threads lacking engagement in one stud.B. Component TV-1CC-123-2:
Mild corrosion on the component C. Component IAC-305: Mild corrosion on the component 309 Observation concluded that the anomalies noted above are such that the components are still capable to perform their intended design basis function based on engineering judgment.
Mild corrosion does not affect calculations or drawings, and existing thread engagement was acceptable such that design basis is not affected.Initiated Notification Nos. 600785633, 600786401 and 600786402 to perform the work under work orders 200530162, 200530661, and 200530662.
: 5. CR-2012-13974 While performing seismic walkdowns per NRC Letter 50.54f Section 2.3, it was observed that at elevation 747' in Safeguard Building Valve Garden, a deficient tag has been in place on the following component since 2003. Ref: Tag ID 45508 Component MOV-1SI-864B (Local Valve Indication Pin sheared off). The local valve indication pin is not required by design basis, and therefore does not violate the design basis requirements.
Initiated Notification No. 600785694 to replace the indication pin and close the deficiency tag under work order 200015714.
: 6. CR-2012-14020 It was observed that a Security Shield Barrier was located too close to SR Component PT-ICV-lOIB at El. 722' Unit-I -Safeguard Building in Pipe Penetration C Room. This posed a seismic interaction concern that during a seismic event it had a potential to hit the pressure transmitter and potentially make the component not performing its intended design function.The security shift supervisor has been contacted and the shield was moved to a safer location.There is no infringement on the design basis.7. CR-2012-14047 While performing seismic walkdowns per NRC Letter 50.54f Section 2.3, it was observed that Pipe Support H-70 has a missing anchor bolt. One of the six anchor bolts is missing.A review of calculation for Pipe Support H-70 was performed (Ref: Calculation 13387.02-S (B)-24CC2-B), and it concluded that the base plate was qualified with five bolts configuration and the missing bolt was noted. Therefore this is only a configuration issue and not a plant 310 operability concern as the support design is in full compliance with the design basis requirements.
Initiated Notification No. 600785698 to update drawings and install a placard on the support noting that it has been analyzed.
Work to be done under work order 200530170.
: 8. CR-2012-14321 While performing seismic walkdowns per NRC Letter 50.54f Section 2.3, it was observed that there is a potential of seismic interaction between the Switch Board DC-SWBD1-2 and Battery Charger BAT-CHG1-2 as they are not connected to each other. These components are located side by side with zero gaps in between them. During a seismic event, there is a potential for these components to bang against each other and cause chatter of relays inside the battery charger.These components are located inside DF Switchgear Room at El 713' in U-1 Service Building.This does not violate the design basis documents.
==
Conclusion:==
The licensing basis evaluations as documented in Section 7 of this report were reviewed.
In summary, they have been adequately evaluated against the design basis requirements, the corrective actions taken are adequate, and no further action is required.D. Review of the decisions for entering the potentially adverse conditions into the CAP Process Section 6 of this report discusses the summary of walkdown results. Specifically, Section 6.2.1 discusses seismic walkdown findings associated with SWEL 1, and Section 6.2.2 discusses seismic walkdown findings associated with area walk-bys.
The potentially adverse conditions were documented in Tables 6-5 and 6-6 in accordance with EPRI Document 1025286 and titled as "Potentially Adverse Seismic Conditions Identified from Component and Area Walk-Bys." Table 6-5 identified six potentially adverse seismic conditions, which resulted in generating one condition report. Adequate justification is documented in the checklists that provide the basis as why the remaining issues had insignificant impact on the design of the components and that the components are still capable of performing their intended design function while still meeting the design basis requirements.
Table 6-6 identified ten potentially adverse seismic conditions.
Seven of these conditions were entered in the corrective action program (CAP). Again, adequate justification is documented in 311 the checklists that provide the basis as to why the remaining issues had insignificant impact on the design of the surrounding components and that the components are still capable of performing their intended design function while still meeting the design basis requirements.
A review of the basis documented in the checklists for not entering these issues in the CAP concluded the decisions taken were appropriate.

==SUMMARY==
Mr. Donald J. Wakefield has more than 30 years experience in all phases of the risk analysis of nuclear power plants and other complex facilities, including human reliability analysis.
He has served as principal investigator and project manager for the risk assessment of several nuclear plants in the United States and the Far East. He served as a key risk analyst on assessments of a floating, production, offloading and storage facility (FPSO), an oil tanker, and for the handling of abandoned chemical weapons in China. Mr. Wakefield is also Project Manager for the development of ABS Consulting's RISKMAN software for risk assessment applications.
He is now serving as the Chairman of the Low Power and Shutdown PRA Standard Writing Group (ANS 58.22) and serves on the ASME's Committee on Nuclear Risk Management (CNRM) and ANS's RISC Committee.
PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE In late 2006, Mr. Wakefield became the writing group chairman for the ANS PRA standard for Low Power and Shutdown Events (ANS-58.22).
This standard is still in development.
Mr.Wakefield has also been active recently in the modeling of shutdown events. He recently performed a review of the Seabrook Station, all power modes PRA model. He recently performed a Level 2 analysis for shutdown events of the KKG plant in Switzerland.
These efforts are in addition to his past Level I shutdown studies for HIFAR in Australia, Takahama-3/4, and for other plants in Japan.Mr. Wakefield recently served as the principle investigator for a fire risk analysis of the Watts Bar unit 2 plant to satisfy its FIVE licensing requirement.
This study was performed using CAFTA.A-5 ADS Consulting AN ABS GROUP COMPANY DONALD J. WAKEFIELD Mr. Wakefield has also performed human reliability analysis for nuclear plants. He served as task leader for the human factors analysis of the Three Mile Island (TMI) Unit 1 PSA.Performed the original human factors analysis for the PSA and then, nearly 20 years later, worked with the plant safety staff to update the analysis using the EPRI HRA Calculator.
More recently, Mr. Wakefield served as an independent reviewer for the South Texas Project upgrade to the latest EPRI HRA Calculator, and for a similar review effort for PG&E. Mr. Wakefield was co-author of the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) report on the SHARP-1 approach to HRA analyses for PSAs.Mr. Wakefield served as principal investigator for the Beaver Valley Units 1 and 2 PSA performed to satisfy U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (USNRC) IPE and IPE for external event (IPEEE) requirements.
Mr. Wakefield also provided expertise in developing and analyzing the Sequoyah and Watts Bar PSA plant models to satisfy the individual plant examination (IPE).Mr. Wakefield served as project manager for the Salem PSA update and as technical consultant for a PSA of the new production (i.e., weapons materials) modular gas-cooled reactor.Mr. Wakefield was a key contributor to accident sequence modeling, including human factors analysis, and seismic analysis for the Diablo Canyon PSA.Mr. Wakefield served as principal investigator in charge of extending a fault tree linking PSA plant model for a pressurized water reactor in the Far East to accommodate the assessment of plant internal fires and seismic events.Mr. Wakefield served as consultant specializing in accident sequence modeling and plant systems analysis for probabilistic safety assessments (PSA). Recently, he served as technical advisor and sequence model architect for a risk assessment model for the excavation and disposal of abandoned chemical weapons in China. The study considered weapon handling errors, plant fires and weapon explosions there from. This assessment looked at all initiating events and the sequence development extended to payouts resulting from worker and population exposures, building and equipment losses and from environmental cleanup costs.Mr. Wakefield served as the technical lead and coordinated inputs from the Knoxville, San Antonio, and Irvine offices for use by the ABS Tokyo office.Mr. Wakefield served as senior analyst for the development of a QRA model for a Floating, Production, offloading and Storage (FPSO) facility hypothetically located in the Gulf of Mexico.This model, funded internally by ABS, looked at risk to the workers from pool fires and jet fires and environmental damage from potential oil spills. Also, in 1995, he performed risk assessment portion of an explosion analysis for the Agbami FPSO owned by Star Deep Water Petroleum Limited, and one for the GX Platform owned by Exxon Mobil for Mustang Engineering.
He also served as advisor for the PSA of a new, double-hulled oil tanker.Mr. Wakefield developed the CAFTA-based accident sequence model for a seismic margins assessment for the ACR-700 design for AECL.A-6 ABS Consulting AN ABS GROUP COMPANY DONALD J. WAKEFIELD Mr. Wakefield served as instructor for numerous PSA courses and provided extensive utility training sessions both in the U.S. and abroad. He served as course instructor to the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission for the risk assessment of external events and to describe the large event tree approach to sequence modeling.Mr. Wakefield provides technical direction and project management for the development of ABS Consulting's RISKMAN PSA software and administers the RISKMAN Technology Group (a utility users' group). This user's group, now in its eighteenth year, funds the maintenance and development of RISKMAN upgrades.
Mr. Wakefield provides the interface between the user's group members, and the RISKMAN development team.Mr. Wakefield was a substantial contributor to a 5-year high temperature gas-cooled reactor (HTGR) risk assessment study. He developed numerous improvements to severe accident consequence computer programs for the HTGR. Quantified uncertainties in severe accident source terms and dose assessment for the HTGR, the first such assessment ever accomplished for any reactor type. Developed a procedure for prioritizing HTGR safety research programs using PSA and formulated an initial set of research recommendations.
Prepared test specifications to implement research recommendations.

1.0 INTRODUCTION

This Report presents the results of the Seismic Walkdown conducted for the Beaver Valley Nuclear Power Plant Unit 1 (BVl) in support of FirstEnergy Nuclear Operating Company's (FENOC) response to NTTF Recommendation 2.3 in NRC 50.54(f) Letter, dated March 12, 2012. Consistent with the guidelines in Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI)Report 1025286, "Seismic Walkdown Guidance for Resolution of Fukushima Near-Term Task Force Recommendation 2.3: Seismic" the walkdown implements the procedure described in Section 5.0 of this report.2.0 SEISMIC LICENSING BASIS The seismic licensing basis is contained in the Unit 1 Updated Final Safety Analysis Report (UFSAR).Geologic and seismologic surveys of the site were conducted to establish two design earthquakes with different intensities of ground motion. These are the operating basis earthquake (OBE) and the design basis earthquake (DBE). The OBE and DBE are considered equivalent to 1/2/2 Safe Shutdown Earthquake and the Safe Shutdown Earthquake (SSE), respectively.

The OBE is the earthquake which is of sufficient probability of occurrence to require its resulting ground accelerations at the site to be considered for operational loadings.

The OBE produces the vibratory ground motion for which the Seismic Category I structures, systems and components are designed to remain operational without undue risk to the health and safety of the public. The OBE is considered to be a modified Mercalli Intensity VI as measured at the site.The DBE/SSE is that earthquake giving rise to the maximum vibratory ground acceleration at a site which can be reasonably predicted from geologic and seismic evidence.The structures, systems and components designated Seismic Category I are designed to withstand, without loss of capability to protect the public, the most severe environmental phenomena ever experienced at the site with appropriate margins included in the design for uncertainties in historical data. All structures, systems and components including instruments and controls where failure might cause or increase the severity of a loss-of-coolant accident or result in an uncontrolled release of excessive amounts of radioactivity, and those structures and components vital to safe shutdown of the reactor are defined as Seismic Category I. Note that the 1 classification of Seismic Category I was previously designated as "Seismic Class I." These two terms are considered equivalent for which the above definition applies. The seismically analyzed systems and components of the plant are necessary to assure: (1) the integrity of the reactor coolant pressure boundary, (2) the capability to shut down the reactor and maintain it in a safe shutdown condition or (3) the capability to prevent or mitigate the consequences of accidents which could result in potential offsite exposures comparable to the guideline exposure of 10 CFR 100.The design earthquakes, OBE and DBE, for the plant are specified by OBE and DBE design response spectra. These criteria are based on the plant site geologic investigations and seismologic recommendations as discussed in Section 2.5 and Appendix B of the Unit 1 UFSAR.The design is based on a DBE normalized to 0.125 g and for the Operational Basis Earthquake (OBE) normalized to 0.06 g. Analysis and design are based on response spectra as shown in UFSAR Figure 2.5-1 and 2.5-2 for the DBE and OBE, respectively.

Dynamic amplification factors used for these spectra are such as to give a maximum spectral acceleration of 0.44 g for two percent damping for the DBE with appropriate relative values for other amounts of damping.The spectra are flat from 2 to 5 Hz (0.2 to 0.5 second period) and reduce 'to an amplification ratio of unity for frequency exceeding 20 Hz.The response of plant structure are obtained through modal analysis of a multi-mass dynamic model which closely approximates the physical and response characteristics of the structure.

Masses are normally lumped at floor elevations and include the floor system, a portion of the walls above and the walls below the floor system, and major component and equipment loads. In addition, masses are located at elevations where any other response values are required.

Spring elements between masses represent building structural characteristics and are based on equivalent structural flexibilities.

These structural representations provide for the inclusion of torsional effects as a part of the dynamic output.2 FREDENCI1EMP~

These are stable, relatively incompressible soils which provide a safe and adequate foundation for the power station. Settlements during construction were minor and settlements following operation will be negligible.

The surface soils of the terrace are slightly looser than the deeper lying soils and these near surface soils were removed beneath the structures and replaced with densely compacted granular fill. The surface of the terrace has been eroded within the limits of the turbine building to below desired foundation grade. Clay soils in this region were removed and replaced under the turbine building and the transformers with densely compacted granular fill to afford a safe and adequate foundation for these structures.

There is no hazard of liquefaction for the soils underlying the station under earthquake conditions.

Properties of the soil under dynamic loadings have been evaluated and proper cognizance taken of relative displacements between structures for piping design; the effects of earthquake loadings on lateral soil pressures on the containment structure and other earth retaining structures; and stability of slopes under earthquake and fluctuating water levels.For the Beaver Valley Nuclear Power Plant Unit I design SSC spectra refer to Figure 2-1.3 1.0 Beaver Va ley Unit 1 SSE fS% Spectra 0.8 --.. ...... -r-" 0 0.6*Z.0.4 0.2 -0.0 0.1 1 10 100 Frequency

Reddington

  • R. Muller* D. Wakefield" F. Beigi The ABS Consulting Walkdown Team consisted of the following individuals: " F. Beigi" E. Guerra" A. Helffrich 4 Additionally, J. Reddington served as the reviewer of the Licensing Basis and of the Individual Plant Examination External Events (IPEEE). Mr. M. Alvi served as the lead peer reviewer for this effort.The seismic walkdown personnel, peer reviewer and lead peer reviewer possess technical degrees from accredited universities and have been trained in the application of seismic experience data for seismic verification of nuclear power plant (NPP) structures, systems, and components (SSC). In addition to completion of the NTTF 2.3 training provided by EPRI these individuals (J. Reddington, M. Alvi, F. Beigi, E. Guerra and A. Helffrich) have also completed the EPRI Seismic Qualification Utility Group (SQUG) training.

Resumes and certificates of the walkdown team members are presented in Appendix A of this report.The above mentioned individuals have experience in earthquake engineering and seismic analysis.

Additionally, the team collectively represents previous Nuclear Power Plant walkdowns experience associated with the A-46 program, IPEEE, and recent Fukushima related stress tests for plants outside the United States.Based on their knowledge of plant documentation, associated SSCs, equipment classes, and the previous IPEEE evaluation, these individuals also supported equipment selection, walkdown planning, equipment location determination, and selection of walk-by areas for the 2.3 Seismic Walkdown.4.0 SELECTION OF SSCS Consistent with the guidance in EPRI 1025286, "Seismic Walkdown Guidance," (Reference 1)dated May, 2012, the process of selecting the SSCs for inclusion of the Seismic Walkdown Equipment List (SWEL) 1 and SWEL 2 in support of the walkdown began with the creation of larger lists. The development of the list for SWEL 1 is presented first in Section 4.1 and it is followed by that for SWEL 2 in Section 4.2.4.1 DEVELOPMENT OF THE SWEL 1 LIST (RELATED TO KEY SAFETY FUNCTIONS)

The EPRI guidance document (Reference

1) says that using the previously developed IPEEE seismic equipment list as a starting point for category 1 SSCs is acceptable provided it covers all of the five safety functions requested, including the containment function.ABS Consulting has assisted FENOC in developing a seismic equipment list (SEL) for use in a seismic probabilistic risk assessment (SPRA) for Beaver Valley Unit 1. An existing internal 5 PRA model is often a prerequisite to developing such a seismic PRA. For example, the PRA modeling logic for non-seismic events was used as a starting point for the seismic PRA plant response model. It was therefore decided, to combine the lists of SSCs from both the currently available Beaver Valley Unit 1 PRA (i.e., working model BVlR5FLl, based on Reference 7)and the Beaver Valley Unit 1 IPEEE SEL list of 1920 SSCs (Reference 2). Duplicate SSCs, caused by (1) overlap between the two lists and (2) because the PRA contains multiple basic events for failure mode of a single component, were removed. Information about the original source of the remaining SSCs was retained.

In short the requirements in the EPRI walkdown guidance document in preparing the SSC SEL list were adequately satisfied.

However, during SSC sampling in preparation for the walkdown, selections were generally made preferentially from the IPEEE lists of SSCs. This is because the design packages were more likely to be available for these SSCs, so that advantage could be taken of the earlier design review work.SSCs from other sources were also chosen so that they were useful for seismic PRA purposes, but did not appear on either source list. For example, panels to be represented in the still evolving internal fire PRA and tanks represented in the PRA for internal floods were also reviewed for possible inclusion.

Again, duplicate SSCs were eliminated.

The list of SSCs in Tables B-i and B-3 of EPRI 1025286 (Reference

1) were also reviewed for completion.

Some SSCs were added as a result of this review.Nuclear steam supply system (NSSS) related SSCs were not required for this application and so were not added to the list. Also excluded were the supports for this equipment along with all the components mounted in or on this NSSS equipment.

Category 1 structures were also added in preparation for the seismic PRA, though they also are not required for the current walkdowns.

Careful attention was paid to the SSCs in the internal events PRA that are included in the modeling of the containment isolation function and for the evaluation of interfacing loss of coolant accident (LOCA) frequencies.

These SSCs were flagged as important to the containment safety function; i.e., they are involved in the computation of large early release frequency (LERF).Additionally, major new and replaced equipment, added to the plant since the performance of the IPEEE and the last Beaver Valley Unit 1 internal events PRA update are noted in a separate column of the developed lists titled "Screen 4d -Major New & Replacement Equip." These events were identified by consulting with long term plant operations staff that identified specific equipment items that had been replaced or overhauled, and by computerized searches of the 6 word "replace" in titles of existing engineering change packages (ECPs). Both lists were then evaluated to match equipment IDs appearing on Base List I with specific ECP numbers, that were judged to be of a major change.While there were no IPEEE vulnerabilities requiring plant changes identified for the Beaver Valley Unit 1 IPEEE, there were modifications performed in response to the assessment of A-46 outliers (References 3 and 4) in nearly the same time frame. The original list of A-46 outliers is documented in Reference 3 along with the initially proposed approaches to outlier resolution.

Some of these approaches involved changes to the plant equipment and were implemented right away. Where judged to be significant, these changes are noted in the column titled "Screen 4e -A46/1IPEEE Vulnerability" in Table 4-1. Additional effort was made to resolve other outliers, the majority of which were resolved by further analysis; i.e., without plant changes. Reference 4 then documented the final resolutions of the outliers that differed from the originally proposed approaches.

These changes were reviewed and those judged to involve significant plant changes are also documented in the column titled "Screen 4e -A46/ IPEEE Vulnerability" in Table 4-1.Once the initial list of SSCs was developed, it was first screened to retain only seismic category 1 quality, equipment.

Whether the SSC is regularly inspected, was also noted as this is justification for a second screen; e.g., for piping systems and containment penetrations.

Attributes of the retained SSCs were collected for the following information:

  • Equipment ID" Brief SSC Description" SSC location -by building, elevation, and area description" The room environment where the SSC is located; including radiation level, moisture level, room temperature, and whether the location is inside or outside of plant buildings" System ID; including both frontline and support systems" Key associated safety function from among the list of five safe shutdown and containment functions (i.e., Reactor Reactivity Control, Reactor Coolant Pressure Control, Reactor Coolant Inventory Control, Decay Heat Removal, and Containment Function) and several support system functions mentioned in the EPRI walkdown guidance.

Panels not previously evaluated for their associated safety functions (i.e., from the ongoing PRA for internal fires) were assigned the designator, "ESFAS", and retained for the selection process." Internal event PRA risk achievement worth (RAW) and Fussell-Vesely importance measures, if available.

7 The equipment ID and description fields were used to assign each retained SSC to one of the EPRI equipment categories (from Table A-1 of Reference

1) used for fragility analysis.

For some EPRI Categories (i.e., 0, 1, 2, 3 and 20), a sub-category was defined and tracked separately from the original category.

For example, Category la was assigned for 480V breakers that are found within the motor control center (MCC) cabinet (i.e., Category 1). None of the breaker SSCs (i.e., assigned to Category la) were separately selected for the walkdown because they are accounted for already in the selection of MCCs. The check valves and manual valves were assigned to Sub-Category Od, to avoid linking these numerous SSCs with SSCs also assigned to the EPRI other category.

A total of 5 SSCs were selected from the 0 and Od EPRI categories.

All of the EPRI categories were later employed as part of the SSC selection process. Except for EPRI Categories 11 (chillers), 12 (air compressors), and 13 (motor generators) at least one SSC was selected from the other EPRI categories.

Equipment in categories 11, 12, and 13 do appear on the combined list, however, at Beaver Valley Unit 1, none of these equipment are seismic Category 1 and therefore are screened from Base list 1.Base List 1, as defined in the EPRI walkdown guidance is attached as Table 4-1 for Beaver Valley Unit 1. The equipment coming out of Screen #3 and entering Screen #4, make up the"Base List 1". All SSCs in this table are seismic Category 1 SSCs, are not regularly inspected, and are associated with one of the safety functions and supporting systems defined in the EPRI guidance.

They are therefore candidates for the SSC selection process. The column labeled SSC source identifies the original list of SSCs from which the SSC made its way onto the list. In some cases, SSCs appeared on both the original internal PRA and the IPEEE lists for Beaver Valley Unit 1. This is so indicated in the SSC source column.SWEL 1, as defined in the EPRI walkdown guidance (Reference

1) is attached as Table 4-2.The format is the same as that in the Base List 1, and the table is the same except that only the selected SSCs are shown. The equipment coming out of Screen #4 and entering the SWEL 1 bucket make up the SWEL 1 list. The selected SSCs have been chosen to account for a variety of systems, equipment types, room environments, and considering whether the SSCs involve new or replaced equipment since the completion of the IPEEE, or are subject to enhancements as a result of findings from the IPEEE and A-46 projects.SWEL 1 includes representative items from some of the variations within each of the above attributes.

A total of 113 SSCs were selected.

Beaver Valley Unit 1 plant operations staff was consulted in the SSC selection process. The selected list of SSCs is largely located in the service 8 building, safeguards building, and auxiliary building, but selections from the intake structure, diesel generator building, and containment are included.

Many of the selected SSCs are from support systems, but there are also SSCs selected from each frontline system. A total of 93 SSCs came from the original IPEEE or current internal events PRA model. SSCs are selected from each of the safety functions, including 9 related to the containment function.

There were 13 SSCs selected that are located in relatively high radiation areas and 22 that are often in damp areas. Most SSCs selected are in cool and dry areas. However, 10 are chosen from normally warm areas and 22 from relatively hot areas.The column in Table 4-2 labeled "Reason for Selection into SWEL I" summarizes the basis for selecting the chosen SSCs. The screens referred to for each SSC are associated with the screen numbers listed across the top of the table. SSCs which are new or subject to a major replacement are assigned a screen of 4d. Also, SSCs subject to an enhancement resulting from the A-46 program or to an IPEEE enhancement are labeled as Screen 4e. For a number of SSCs, the internal events PRA importance rankings (i.e., Screen 4f) indicated that the SSC is risk significant (i.e., RAW>2 or FVI>.005).

A representative set, but not all, of such risk significant SSCs were, therefore, included in the selected list. A number of selected SSCs are located inside the containment.

These SSCs were not accessible and therefore were not examined during the current walkdown effort and are scheduled to be inspected during the next refueling outage (IR22 in 2013).4.2 DEVELOPMENT OF SWEL 2 FOR SPENT FUEL POOL RELATED ITEMS For spent fuel pool related items, there was no starting list of SSCs with which to begin. Instead, the functions of the spent fuel pool systems were reviewed and equipment related to pool cooling and make up were included on a new list. Reference 5 details the operator actions to respond to a loss of spent fuel pool cooling or a loss of inventory.

The functions considered were normal spent fuel pool cooling, spent fuel pool makeup from demineralized water, spent fuel pool makeup using gravity feed from the refueling water storage tank (RWST), and spent fuel pool makeup from the fire protection system or from river water. The equipment identified for these functions in Reference 5 were included in the list along with the SSCs which make up the boundaries of the alternative makeup flow paths. The RWST and CVCS (i.e., from the blender)system were not included .in the spent fuel pool list of SSCs as those systems are included in Base List 1; i.e., see Section 4.1. Noticeably absent from the list are equipment related to spent fuel pool cleanup. The spent fuel pool cleanup equipment is not Seismic Category 1.9 Base List 2 is attached as Table 4-3. The equipment coming out of Screen #2 and entering Screen #3 in Figure 1-2 of the EPRI walkdown guidance report (Reference

1) make up "Base List 2." All SSCs on this list are seismic category 1 and involve equipment and systems related to the spent fuel pool. At Beaver Valley Unit 1, the spent fuel pool cooling pumps and heat exchangers are Seismic Category 1 and therefore are included on Base List 2 Attributes of the retained SSCs were collected for the following information: " Equipment ID* Brief SSC Description
  • SSC location -by building, elevation, and plant room number" The room environment in where the SSC is located; including radiation level, moisture level, room temperature, and whether the location is inside or outside of plant buildings.

The equipment ID and description fields were used to assign each retained SSC to one of the EPRI equipment Categories used for fragility analysis.

These EPRI categories were later employed as part of the SSC selection process.At Beaver Valley Unit 1, it is not possible to siphon the spent fuel pool level down to less than 9' 6.75" above the top of the spent fuel rack; i.e., failures resulting in a rapid drain-down cannot occur (Reference 6). Therefore, the rapid drain-down list of SSCs is empty for Beaver Valley Unit 1.SWEL 2, as defined in the EPRI walkdown guidance is attached as Table 4-4.There are no entries from rapid drain-down considerations; i.e., from Screen #4. The equipment coming out of Screen #3 and entering the SWEL 2 bucket in Figure 1-2 from the EPRI walkdown guidance report make up this second Seismic Walkdown Equipment List. The format is the same as that in the Base List 2, and the table entries are the same except that only the selected SSCs are shown. The selected SSCs have been chosen to account for a variety of equipment types and room environments.

Since Base List 2 is much shorter than that of Base List 1, and the number of applied screens smaller, the column labeled "Reason for Selection" simply contains the associated EPRI category and a text description of why each SSC was chosen. Since the types of Seismic Category 1 equipment related to the spent fuel pool are limited, so too is the variety of equipment types among the SSCs selected.10

5.0 SEISMIC WALKDOWN AND AREA WALK-BYS This section summarizes the activities prior to, during, and after performing the NTTF 2.3 seismic walkdown and area walk-bys.

It also presents the results and findings of the walkdown and documents the checklists utilized to record the walkdown data.It is concluded that the approach implemented to conduct the seismic walkdowns and area walk-bys satisfies the characteristics and recommendations outlined in EPRI Report 1025286.Therefore, by following these guidelines, the walkdown approach and format of the results documented herein fulfills the requests established in the NRC 50.54(f) letter, Enclosure 3, Recommendation 2.3: Seismic.5.1 WALKDOWN PREPARATION The overall procedure directly implements the EPRI guidelines.

However, due to their unique nature, the following description gives special attention to the (1) selection and execution of the configuration checks of selected anchorage, and (2) the verification of the seismic adequacy of block walls in the vicinity of equipment on the SWEL. EPRI guidelines recommend that a minimum of 50 percent of the equipment considered in the walkdown be examined to document the existing anchorage configurations, and assess this configuration relative to the design basis.It also recommends that the block wall maps be retrieved to document previous evaluations in support of NTTF 2.3.Prior to the walkdowns, the Seismic Walkdown Engineers (SWE) examined available plant documentation associated with (1) anchorage design, and (2) block wall capacity calculations, and correlated these to relevant SWEL components and the respective Seismic Walkdown Checklists (SWC) and Area Walk-By Checklists (AWC). This pre-walkdown activity contributed to gaining familiarity and critical insights regarding the components and areas to be walked down. The relevant design documentation, drawings and calculations were uploaded to each of the SWEs electronic tablets used during the walkdown with the intention of verifying, if required, any anchorage configuration or block wall seismic adequacy.280 5.2 NTTF 2.3 WALKDOWNS The NTTF 2.3 walkdowns at Beaver Valley Unit 1 were performed over a duration of five days from September 10 to September 14, 2012. During the walkdowns, the SWEs completed the walkdown checklists as SWEL components were inspected.

Selected anchorage configurations were verified for 50% of the floor or wall mounted components on the SWEL with respect to design documentation, including anchorage design drawings and A-46/IPEEE calculations.

Masonry walls in the vicinity of SWEL and non-SWEL items were recorded in the SWCs and AWCs. Subsequently, the SWEs verified the seismic adequacy of the block walls based on IE Bulletin 80-11 documentation.

5.3 POST WALKDOWN ACTIVITIES The primary activity after the walkdown involved compiling the SWCs and the AWCs.Additional documentation, such as design calculations and/or A-46/IPEEE submittals, was also reviewed to support configuration checks. Photographs taken during the walkdown were linked to the respective checklists.

Some of the findings of the walkdown that could not readily be dispositioned during the walkdowns were evaluated further through additional calculation/modification package reviews for proper disposition.

The post walkdown activity also developed this walkdown report.6.0

SUMMARY

OF THE WALKDOWN RESULTS 6.1 WALK DOWN ITEMS AND WALK-BY AREAS The SWEL 1 included a total of 113 components, and SWEL2 included a total of 8 components.

From this total of 121 components, 108 components were walked down and 13 components were inaccessible and will require walkdown during the next plant's refueling outage. These thirteen items located inside the Containment Building will be walked down later during the next scheduled plant refueling outage. Notification No. 600788346 has been generated to have these walkdowns performed during the next refueling outage. Table 6-1 and Table 6-2 identify the walkdown items and walk-by areas, respectively, and Table 6-3 presents a list of items on the SWEL which were inaccessible while the plant is in operation.

These components will be walked down during the next plant's refueling outage. The areas walk-bys and the walkdown items are 281 cross correlated on the respective SWCs and AWCs. Table 6-4 provides the list of equipment that was walked down.Table 6-1: Beaver Valley 1 NTTF 2.3 Walkdown Items (SWEL 1÷2)Floor Equipment ID No Equip. Class Bldg El Area Description 1CC-E-IA 21.

The plant is well maintained and no major issues related to potentially adverse conditions were uncovered.

In general, based on the number of minor potentially adverse seismic conditions identified during the walkdown, it can be concluded that most components and areas were found to be in good condition and that no major degraded or design non-conformances were identified.

Generally, the nature of the potentially adverse conditions is related to mild corrosive conditions, responsiveness for old deficiency tags and minor discrepancies between existing and as-designed conditions.

Several relatively minor findings are reported here. Observations in this respect are organized on the basis of potentially adverse seismic conditions identified during both Seismic Walkdowns and Area Walk-Bys.6.2.1 Seismic Walkdown Findings The following section presents potentially adverse seismic conditions and findings identified during the Seismic Walkdowns.

A total of 6 potentially adverse seismic conditions were identified during the Seismic Walkdowns.

Table 6-5 provides as summary of all 6 adverse finding conditions identified.

As shown in Table 6-5, only one condition report (CR 2012-14321) was issued, which required Licensing Basis Evaluation.

Justifications for findings for which a Licensing Evaluation is not required are provided in the Component's respective SWC provided in Appendix B.Table 6-5: Potentially Adverse Seismic Conditions Identified from Seismic Walkdowns Description of Licensing Reference No I Equipment Class Adverse Seismic Evaluation for Condition Elt Justification Required No grout below SWC for IEE-EG-1 17.

Appendix E presents the list of block walls associated with the nearby SWEL/Area Walk-by items, and as the referenced calculations used for verification of the block wall seismic capacity.6.2.2 Area Walk-By Findings The following section presents potentially adverse seismic conditions and findings identified during the Area Walk-Bys.

A total of 10 potentially adverse seismic conditions were identified during the area walk-bys.

Table 6-6 provides a summary of all 10 potentially adverse seismic conditions identified.

As shown in Table 6-6, seven condition reports were issued, which required Licensing Basis Evaluation.

Justifications for findings for which a Licensing Evaluation is not required are provided in the Area's respective AWCs provided in Appendix C.291 Table 6-6: Potentially Adverse Seismic Conditions Identified from Area Walk-Bys Licensing Floor Description of Adverse Basis Reference for Area Bldg El Seismic Condition Evaluation Justification Required INTS Pump Pump I WR-P- IC has 2 C u mp INTS 705 anchor bolts that are Yes CR 2012-13969 Cubicle 3(C) corroded.Black marks identified for AWC for DG DG Room Train A DGBX 735 EDG exhaust No Room Train A Security barrier near PT-Pipe Penetration C SFGB 722 1CV-101B Yes CR 2012-14020 Surface corrosion for valve Pipe Penetration C SFGB 722 IAC-150 Yes CR 2012-13971 Old deficiency tags CR 2012-13972 Various Various Various identified Yes CR21-37 identfiedCR 2012-13974 Main Steam Valve Pipe contact with knee AWC for Main Mntm SFGB 751 brace No Steam Valve Room Room Control Room ceiling tiles AWC for Control Room SRVB 735 No Control Room Potential for spray from AWC for Fuel Fuel Building FULB 735 space heater No Building Prim.

These situations are described briefly below.292 o Security barrier near PT-iCV-IO1B During the area walk-bys, SWEs identified a security shield barrier near a pressure transmitter (PT-iCV-101B) at elevation 722' in the Pipe Penetration C Room located in the Safeguards Building.

This situation presented a potential seismic interaction concern due to the proximity of the barrier with respect to the pressure transmitter.

The Security Shift Supervisor was contacted and immediate action was taken to move the barrier away from the pressure transmitter and be relocated to a safer location.

No further action was required. (Ref. CR 2012-14020) 293

  • Surface corrosion for valve JAC-150 While performing the area walk-by for the Pipe Penetration C Room, it was observed that Valve 1AC-150 presented mild corrosion on the valve body. Immediate action was taken and the engineering supervisor was notified about the condition observed.

Notification No. 600785632 was issued in order to clean and paint the corresponding valve. No further action was required since it was judged that the corrosive state will not affect the valve's intended design function.(Ref. CR 2012-13971)

Figure 6-1: Surface corrosion for valve 1 AC- 150 294

  • Old deficiency tags identified During the area walk-bys, it was observed that deficiency tags have been in place for various components for an extended period of time apparently, without assessment of the condition.

Condition reports CR-2012-13972 and CR-2012-13974 address the specific components where these tags were indentified.

The SWT proceeded to initiate notification Nos. 600785633 and 600785694 in order to perform the work needed to assess the situation.

The SWE's concluded that the deficiencies identified will not affect the component's intended design functions.

Figure 6-2: Corroded valves with old deficiency tags.CR-2012-13972 issued to address these conditions 295 6.3 CONFIGURATION CHECKS The SWELL 1+2 included 76 items, which were not in-line components such as valves. The process of verifying the anchorage configuration focused on 39 SWEL components arbitrarily selected prior to walkdown proceedings (this is 51% of the SWEL items with anchorage configurations).

Appendix D provides a list of the 39 components comprising the anchorage configuration list linked with the specific references used for verification purposes; i.e., A46/IPEEE Calculations, design drawings, etc.The anchorage configuration for each of the 39 SWEL components listed in Appendix D was verified based on A46/IPEEE Calculations and Plant Design documentation.

SWEs referred to design drawings as the main reference for anchorage verification whenever it was possible to have a complete field inspection of the anchorage.

The design drawings were uploaded onto electronic tablets for quick accessibility during the walkdowns and verification of the as-installed configuration against the design drawings.

In cases where design basis drawings were not readily identifiable, SWEs referred to previous A46/IPEEE Calculations to ensure that the configuration was assessed during the IPEEE program and no design concerns were identified.

These configuration checks verified consistency of as-installed conditions to that of the design drawings/calculations in all 38 instances.

7.0 LICENSING BASIS EVALUATION Nine condition reports (CR) were generated as a result of these walkdowns.

The following is a list of the condition reports written as a result of the walkdowns CR-2012-13969, CR-2012-13970, CR-2012-13971, CR-2012-13972, CR-2012-13974, CR-2012-14020, CR-2012-14047, CR-2012-14321, and CR-2012-14347.

The following summarizes the condition and resolution to the condition reports written as a result of the walkdowns.

CR-2012-13969 It was observed that two out of eight nuts for the bolts anchoring the Pump WR-P-1C to the floor are corroded.

This pump is located inside the intake structure at elevation 705' Cubicle C.Observation concluded that there is only surface rust on the bolts and the nuts. Even though they are corroded, they are capable to perform their intended design function based on engineering 296 judgment.

The two nuts are located side by side. No calculations or drawings are affected since the nuts are able to perform the intended function.Initiated Notification No. 600785650 to replace the nuts under work order 200530167.

CR-2012-13970 It was observed that two out of twelve nuts for the bolts for Component TV-ICC-1 10F2 are corroded.

This component is located inside Safeguard Building at elevation 722' in Pipe Penetration C Room.Observation concluded that there is only surface rust on the bolts and the nuts. Even though they are corroded, they are capable to perform their intended design function based on engineering judgment.

The two corroded nuts are located next to each other. No calculations or drawings are affected since they are able to perform the intended function.Initiated Notification No. 600785631 to replace the nuts under work order 200530160.

CR-2012-13971 It was observed that Valve 1AC-150 has mild corrosion deposited on the valve body. This component is located inside Safeguard Building at elevation 722' in Pipe Penetration C Room.Observation concluded that there is only surface corrosion on the valve body and it is capable to perform its intended design function based on engineering judgment.

No calculations or drawings are affected since the valve only has surface corrosion and it is able to perform the design basis function.Initiated Notification 600785632 to clean the corroded areas under work order 200530161.

CR-2012-13972 It was observed that at elevation 735' in Safeguard Building Quench Spray Room, deficient tags have been in place on various components for extended duration which have not been addressed in a timely fashion. Specifically, following anomalies have been noted: 1. Component IAC-310: Inadequate thread engagement on packing studs and rust on the valve (Ref Tag ID 60734). 1/2 threads lacking engagement in one stud.2. Component TV-1CC-123-2:

Mild corrosion on the component 297

3. Component IAC-305: Mild corrosion on the component Observation concluded that the anomalies noted above are such that the components are still capable to perform their intended design basis function based on engineering judgment.

Mild corrosion does not affect calculations or drawings, and thread is still engaged on the other component so design basis is not affected.Initiated Notification Nos. 600785633, 600786401 and 600786402 to perform the work under work orders 200530162, 200530661, and 200530662.

CR-2012-13974 While performing seismic walkdowns per NRC Letter 50.54f Section 2.3, it was observed that at elevation 747' in Safeguard Building Valve Garden, a deficient tag has been in place on the following component since 2003. Ref: Tag ID 45508 Component MOV-1SI-864B (Local Valve Indication Pin sheared off). The local valve indication pin is not required by design basis, and therefore does not violate the design basis documents.

Initiated Notification No. 600785694 to replace the indication pin and close the deficiency tag under work order 200015714.

CR-2012-14020 It was observed that a Security Shield Barrier was located too close to SR Component PT-1CV-1OIB at El. 722' Unit-1 Safeguard Building in Pipe Penetration C Room. This posed a seismic interaction concern that during a seismic event it had a potential to hit the pressure transmitter and potentially make the component not performing its intended design function.The security shift supervisor has been contacted and the shield was moved to a safer location.There is no infringement on the design basis.CR-2012-14047 While performing seismic walkdowns per NRC Letter 50.54f Section 2.3, it was observed that Pipe Support H-70 has a missing anchor bolt. One of the six anchor bolts is missing.298 A review of calculation for Pipe Support H-70 was performed (Ref: Calculation 13387.02-S (B)-24CC2-B), and it concluded that the base plate was qualified with a five bolt configuration.

The missing bolt was noted. Therefore this is only a configuration issue and not a plant operability concern as the support design is in full compliance with the design basis requirements.

Initiated Notification No. 600785698 to update drawings and install a placard on the support noting that it has been analyzed.

Work to be done under work order 200530170.

CR-2012-14321 While performing seismic walkdowns per NRC Letter 50.54f Section 2.3, it was observed that there is a potential of seismic interaction between the Switch Board DC-SWBD1-2 and Battery Charger BAT-CHG 1-2 as they are not connected to each other. These components are located side by side with zero gaps in between them. During a seismic event, there is a potential for these components to bang against each other and cause chatter of relays inside the battery charger.These components are located inside DF Switchgear Room at El 713' in U-I Service Building.This does not violate the design basis documents.

CR-2012-14347 This CR has been generated to capture all the issues in one condition report (roll-up CR) that have been identified during NRC 50.54f Letter Section 2.3 Seismic Walkdowns performed at Beaver Valley Unit-I Plant during the week of September 10, 2012.There are no new anomalies identified in this CR as individual CRs have already been generated as required and as identified in the attached matrix, as such there are no operability concerns associated with this CR. Additionally, an administrative CR (CR-2012-14210) was written which is not reflected in the matrix as it is not associated with any hardware concerns.Because there are no new issues identified in this CR, there is no affect on the design basis.8.0 IPEEE VULNERABILITIES There were no seismic vulnerabilities identified in the IPEEE submittal for Beaver Valley units 1 or 2. This was recognized by the NRC in NUREG-1437 Supplement 36 "Generic Environmental Impact Statement for License Renewal of Nuclear Plants, Supplement 36, Regarding Beaver Valley Power Station Units 1 and 2". Page G20 and 21 states "The NRC staff also notes that the use of the integrated PSA to facilitate identification of SAMAs for external events, the prior 299 implementation of plant modifications for seismic and fire events, and the absence of external event vulnerabilities ensure that the search for external event SAMAs was reasonably comprehensive." Several submittals to the NRC covered A46 enhancements as well as IPEEE enhancements, but none would be classified as vulnerabilities.

Tables identifying IPEEE vulnerabilities are essentially based on these enhancements and the enhancements were incorporated into the walkdown component selection to the extent possible.9.0 PEER REVIEW A peer review of the Submittal Report for the Near Term Task Force NTTF Recommendation 2.3 "Seismic Walkdowns" was performed using the guidance provided in Section 6 of EPRI Document 1025286, "Seismic Walkdown Guidance." Following are the peer reviewers for the Beaver Valley Power Station Unit- 1:* Mohammed Alvi (Team Leader)" John Reddington The peer review process included the following activities: " Review the selection of the SSCs included on the SWEL" Review a sample of the checklists prepared for the seismic walkdowns and area walk-bys" Review the Licensing Basis Evaluations" Review the decisions for entering the potentially adverse conditions into the Corrective Action Program (CAP)." Review the submittal report" Summarize the results of the peer review process in the submittal report A. Review the Selection of the SSCs Included on the SWEL: The peer review concluded that the selection of Seismic Walkdown Equipment List (SWEL) was performed in accordance with guidance provided in Section 3 of EPRI Document 1025286"Seismic Walkdown Guidance." The peer reviewers used the checklist provided in Appendix F of this document which is enclosed.

Also, an ex-Senior Reactor Operator (SRO) from the Beaver Valley Power Station, Unit-1 acted as Operations representative during the selection of the SWEL.300 Appropriate figures 1-1, 1-2 and 1-3 of the EPRI Document 1025286 were used and the final SWEL 1 and SWEL 2 were developed.

The peer review confirmed that the following EPRI screens were used in the selection of SWEL 1: Screen 1: Seismic Category I Screen 2: Equipment or System Screen 3: Support for the five safety functions Screen 4: Sample Considerations The station did use the existing documentation that resulted from IPEEE program in identifying the components.

A matrix/spreadsheet was prepared that identifies all the selected components on SWEL I and SWEL 2. It was confirmed that these two lists did include a variety of type of systems, major new and replacement equipment, a variety of equipment types, a variety of environments in which the components are located, and the equipment enhanced due to vulnerabilities identified during the IPEEE program.It was confirmed that the size of the sample was sufficiently large to include a variety of items that collectively included variations within all the attributes stated in the paragraph above.SWEL 1 for the Beaver Valley Power Station, Unit-1 included 113 components.

The peer review also confirmed that the station used the following EPRI screens in the development of SWEL 2: Screen 1: Seismic Category I Screen 2: Equipment or System Screen 3: Sample Considerations Screen 4: Rapid Drain-Down Similar process was used in the development of SWEL 2 as for SWEL 1. SWEL 2 for the Beaver Valley Power Station, Unit-I included 8 components.

Comments on Question 4: The peer review concluded that the selection of Seismic Walkdown Equipment List (SWEL) was performed in accordance with guidance provided in Section 3 of EPRI Document 1025286,"Seismic Walkdown Guidance." Also, an ex-SRO from the Beaver Valley Power Station, Unit-I acted as Operations representative during the selection of the SWEL.B. Review of a sample of the checklists prepared for the Seismic Walkdowns and Area Walk-Bys EPRI Document 1025286 on Seismic Walkdown Guidance required a review of the sample of the checklists prepared for the seismic walkdowns and area walk-bys by the peer reviewers.

The sample review should be between 10 percent and 25 percent.The following comments were identified during the early stages of peer review and were successfully resolved: A. In some cases, statements regarding minor anomalies (not resulting in a condition report)identified during the walkdowns did not have adequate justification for acceptability in meeting the design basis requirements.

B. In some cases, missing documentation/references/checkmarks.

C. In some cases, minor anomaly stated but no justification provided.D. Editorial and typographical errors The above comments were discussed with the Seismic Walkdown Engineers (SWEs) and were successfully resolved in the final signed version of the checklists.

In addition, the peer reviewers also participated in a sample of walkdowns and observed the work performed by the SWEs during the inspections.

It was noted that the walkdown/inspection was intrusive; walkdown team members discussed issues amongst themselves, and used 307 engineering judgment in making decisions about whether there is any concern that should be noted. In some cases, the lead peer reviewer requested additional photographs.

The lead peer reviewer interviewed the SWEs to verify they followed the guidance in Section 4 of the EPRI Document "Seismic Walkdowns and Area Walk-Bys." The interview concluded that they did follow the said guidance and were knowledgeable about the walkdown requirements.

Questions asked were successfully answered during the interview as well as during the walkdowns.

Four SWEs participated in the walkdowns.

See their resumes for experience and background training.Conclusion:

The seismic walkdown and area walk-by checklists were completed in accordance with the guidance of EPRI Document 1025286 and no major issues were identified.

All comments were successfully resolved.

Adequate documentation has been provided in the checklists for the components that were walked down.C. Review of the Licensing Basis Evaluations The walkdowns identified several minor anomalies; however eight of them resulted in generating condition reports as follows: CR-2012-13969, CR-2012-13970, CR-2012-13971, CR-2012-13972, CR-2012-13974, CR-2012-14020, CR-2012-14047, and CR-2012-14321.

The following summarizes the condition and resolution to the condition reports written as a result of the walkdowns.

However, a ninth CR was written to capture all the issues identified above in one roll up condition report (CR-2012-14347).

1. CR-2012-13969 It was observed that two out of eight nuts for the bolts anchoring the Pump WR-P-1C to the floor are corroded.

This pump is located inside the intake structure at elevation 705' Cubicle C.Observation concluded that there is only surface rust on the bolts and the nuts even though they are corroded are capable to perform their intended design function based on engineering judgment.

The two nuts are located side by side. No calculations or drawings are affected since the nuts are able to perform the intended function.308 Initiated Notification No. 600785650 to replace the nuts under work order 200530167.

2. CR-2012-13970 It was observed that two out of twelve nuts for the bolts for Component TV-ICC-110F2 are corroded.

This component is located inside Safeguard Building at elevation 722' in Pipe Penetration C Room.Observation concluded that there is only surface rust on the bolts and the nuts. Even though they are corroded, they are capable to perform their intended design function based on engineering judgment.

The two corroded nuts are located next to each other. No calculations or drawings are affected since they are able to perform the intended function.Initiated Notification No. 600785631 to replace the nuts under work order 200530160.

3. CR-2012-13971 It was observed that Valve IAC-150 has mild corrosion deposited on the valve body. This component is located inside Safeguard Building at elevation 722' in Pipe Penetration C Room.Observation concluded that there is only surface corrosion on the valve body and it is capable to perform its intended design function based on engineering judgment.

No calculations or drawings are affected since the valve only has surface corrosion and it is able to perform the design basis function.Initiated Notification 600785632 to clean the corroded areas under work order 200530161.

4. CR-2012-13972 It was observed that at elevation 735' in Safeguard Building Quench Spray Room, deficient tags have been in place on various components for extended duration which have not been addressed in a timely fashion. Specifically, following anomalies have been noted: A. Component lAC-310: Inadequate thread engagement on packing studs and rust on the valve (Ref Tag ID 60734). 1/2 threads lacking engagement in one stud.B. Component TV-1CC-123-2:

Mild corrosion on the component C. Component IAC-305: Mild corrosion on the component 309 Observation concluded that the anomalies noted above are such that the components are still capable to perform their intended design basis function based on engineering judgment.

Mild corrosion does not affect calculations or drawings, and existing thread engagement was acceptable such that design basis is not affected.Initiated Notification Nos. 600785633, 600786401 and 600786402 to perform the work under work orders 200530162, 200530661, and 200530662.

5. CR-2012-13974 While performing seismic walkdowns per NRC Letter 50.54f Section 2.3, it was observed that at elevation 747' in Safeguard Building Valve Garden, a deficient tag has been in place on the following component since 2003. Ref: Tag ID 45508 Component MOV-1SI-864B (Local Valve Indication Pin sheared off). The local valve indication pin is not required by design basis, and therefore does not violate the design basis requirements.

Initiated Notification No. 600785694 to replace the indication pin and close the deficiency tag under work order 200015714.

6. CR-2012-14020 It was observed that a Security Shield Barrier was located too close to SR Component PT-ICV-lOIB at El. 722' Unit-I -Safeguard Building in Pipe Penetration C Room. This posed a seismic interaction concern that during a seismic event it had a potential to hit the pressure transmitter and potentially make the component not performing its intended design function.The security shift supervisor has been contacted and the shield was moved to a safer location.There is no infringement on the design basis.7. CR-2012-14047 While performing seismic walkdowns per NRC Letter 50.54f Section 2.3, it was observed that Pipe Support H-70 has a missing anchor bolt. One of the six anchor bolts is missing.A review of calculation for Pipe Support H-70 was performed (Ref: Calculation 13387.02-S (B)-24CC2-B), and it concluded that the base plate was qualified with five bolts configuration and the missing bolt was noted. Therefore this is only a configuration issue and not a plant 310 operability concern as the support design is in full compliance with the design basis requirements.

Initiated Notification No. 600785698 to update drawings and install a placard on the support noting that it has been analyzed.

Work to be done under work order 200530170.

8. CR-2012-14321 While performing seismic walkdowns per NRC Letter 50.54f Section 2.3, it was observed that there is a potential of seismic interaction between the Switch Board DC-SWBD1-2 and Battery Charger BAT-CHG1-2 as they are not connected to each other. These components are located side by side with zero gaps in between them. During a seismic event, there is a potential for these components to bang against each other and cause chatter of relays inside the battery charger.These components are located inside DF Switchgear Room at El 713' in U-1 Service Building.This does not violate the design basis documents.

==

Conclusion:==

The licensing basis evaluations as documented in Section 7 of this report were reviewed.

In summary, they have been adequately evaluated against the design basis requirements, the corrective actions taken are adequate, and no further action is required.D. Review of the decisions for entering the potentially adverse conditions into the CAP Process Section 6 of this report discusses the summary of walkdown results. Specifically, Section 6.2.1 discusses seismic walkdown findings associated with SWEL 1, and Section 6.2.2 discusses seismic walkdown findings associated with area walk-bys.

The potentially adverse conditions were documented in Tables 6-5 and 6-6 in accordance with EPRI Document 1025286 and titled as "Potentially Adverse Seismic Conditions Identified from Component and Area Walk-Bys." Table 6-5 identified six potentially adverse seismic conditions, which resulted in generating one condition report. Adequate justification is documented in the checklists that provide the basis as why the remaining issues had insignificant impact on the design of the components and that the components are still capable of performing their intended design function while still meeting the design basis requirements.

Table 6-6 identified ten potentially adverse seismic conditions.

Seven of these conditions were entered in the corrective action program (CAP). Again, adequate justification is documented in 311 the checklists that provide the basis as to why the remaining issues had insignificant impact on the design of the surrounding components and that the components are still capable of performing their intended design function while still meeting the design basis requirements.

A review of the basis documented in the checklists for not entering these issues in the CAP concluded the decisions taken were appropriate.

SUMMARY

Mr. Donald J. Wakefield has more than 30 years experience in all phases of the risk analysis of nuclear power plants and other complex facilities, including human reliability analysis.

He has served as principal investigator and project manager for the risk assessment of several nuclear plants in the United States and the Far East. He served as a key risk analyst on assessments of a floating, production, offloading and storage facility (FPSO), an oil tanker, and for the handling of abandoned chemical weapons in China. Mr. Wakefield is also Project Manager for the development of ABS Consulting's RISKMAN software for risk assessment applications.

He is now serving as the Chairman of the Low Power and Shutdown PRA Standard Writing Group (ANS 58.22) and serves on the ASME's Committee on Nuclear Risk Management (CNRM) and ANS's RISC Committee.

PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE In late 2006, Mr. Wakefield became the writing group chairman for the ANS PRA standard for Low Power and Shutdown Events (ANS-58.22).

This standard is still in development.

Mr.Wakefield has also been active recently in the modeling of shutdown events. He recently performed a review of the Seabrook Station, all power modes PRA model. He recently performed a Level 2 analysis for shutdown events of the KKG plant in Switzerland.

These efforts are in addition to his past Level I shutdown studies for HIFAR in Australia, Takahama-3/4, and for other plants in Japan.Mr. Wakefield recently served as the principle investigator for a fire risk analysis of the Watts Bar unit 2 plant to satisfy its FIVE licensing requirement.

This study was performed using CAFTA.A-5 ADS Consulting AN ABS GROUP COMPANY DONALD J. WAKEFIELD Mr. Wakefield has also performed human reliability analysis for nuclear plants. He served as task leader for the human factors analysis of the Three Mile Island (TMI) Unit 1 PSA.Performed the original human factors analysis for the PSA and then, nearly 20 years later, worked with the plant safety staff to update the analysis using the EPRI HRA Calculator.

More recently, Mr. Wakefield served as an independent reviewer for the South Texas Project upgrade to the latest EPRI HRA Calculator, and for a similar review effort for PG&E. Mr. Wakefield was co-author of the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) report on the SHARP-1 approach to HRA analyses for PSAs.Mr. Wakefield served as principal investigator for the Beaver Valley Units 1 and 2 PSA performed to satisfy U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (USNRC) IPE and IPE for external event (IPEEE) requirements.

Mr. Wakefield also provided expertise in developing and analyzing the Sequoyah and Watts Bar PSA plant models to satisfy the individual plant examination (IPE).Mr. Wakefield served as project manager for the Salem PSA update and as technical consultant for a PSA of the new production (i.e., weapons materials) modular gas-cooled reactor.Mr. Wakefield was a key contributor to accident sequence modeling, including human factors analysis, and seismic analysis for the Diablo Canyon PSA.Mr. Wakefield served as principal investigator in charge of extending a fault tree linking PSA plant model for a pressurized water reactor in the Far East to accommodate the assessment of plant internal fires and seismic events.Mr. Wakefield served as consultant specializing in accident sequence modeling and plant systems analysis for probabilistic safety assessments (PSA). Recently, he served as technical advisor and sequence model architect for a risk assessment model for the excavation and disposal of abandoned chemical weapons in China. The study considered weapon handling errors, plant fires and weapon explosions there from. This assessment looked at all initiating events and the sequence development extended to payouts resulting from worker and population exposures, building and equipment losses and from environmental cleanup costs.Mr. Wakefield served as the technical lead and coordinated inputs from the Knoxville, San Antonio, and Irvine offices for use by the ABS Tokyo office.Mr. Wakefield served as senior analyst for the development of a QRA model for a Floating, Production, offloading and Storage (FPSO) facility hypothetically located in the Gulf of Mexico.This model, funded internally by ABS, looked at risk to the workers from pool fires and jet fires and environmental damage from potential oil spills. Also, in 1995, he performed risk assessment portion of an explosion analysis for the Agbami FPSO owned by Star Deep Water Petroleum Limited, and one for the GX Platform owned by Exxon Mobil for Mustang Engineering.

He also served as advisor for the PSA of a new, double-hulled oil tanker.Mr. Wakefield developed the CAFTA-based accident sequence model for a seismic margins assessment for the ACR-700 design for AECL.A-6 ABS Consulting AN ABS GROUP COMPANY DONALD J. WAKEFIELD Mr. Wakefield served as instructor for numerous PSA courses and provided extensive utility training sessions both in the U.S. and abroad. He served as course instructor to the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission for the risk assessment of external events and to describe the large event tree approach to sequence modeling.Mr. Wakefield provides technical direction and project management for the development of ABS Consulting's RISKMAN PSA software and administers the RISKMAN Technology Group (a utility users' group). This user's group, now in its eighteenth year, funds the maintenance and development of RISKMAN upgrades.

Mr. Wakefield provides the interface between the user's group members, and the RISKMAN development team.Mr. Wakefield was a substantial contributor to a 5-year high temperature gas-cooled reactor (HTGR) risk assessment study. He developed numerous improvements to severe accident consequence computer programs for the HTGR. Quantified uncertainties in severe accident source terms and dose assessment for the HTGR, the first such assessment ever accomplished for any reactor type. Developed a procedure for prioritizing HTGR safety research programs using PSA and formulated an initial set of research recommendations.
