Dear Mr. Hanson:
On March 31, 2017, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed an integrated inspection at your Quad Cities Nuclear Power Station, Units 1 and 2. On April 11, 2017, the
NRC inspectors discussed the results of this inspection with Mr. S. Darin
and other members of your staff. The results of this inspection are documented in the enclosed report.
Based on the results of this inspection, the NRC has identified one issue that was evaluated under the risk significance determination process as having very low safety significance (Green). The NRC has also determined that one violation is associated with this issue. Because the licensee initiated condition reports to address this issue, this violation is being
treated as a Non-Cited Violation (NCV), consistent with Section 2.3.2a of the Enforcement
Policy. The NCV is described in the subject inspection report.
If you contest the violation or significance of the NCV, you should provide a response within 30 days of the date of this inspection report, with the basis for your denial, to the U.S. Nuclear
Regulatory Commission, ATTN: Document Control Desk, Washington, DC 20555-0001; with
copies to the Regional Administrator, Region III; the Director, Office of Enforcement; and the
NRC Resident Inspector at the Quad Cities Nuclear Power Station. If you disagree with a cross-cutting aspect assignment or a finding not associated with a regulatory requirement in this report, you should provide a response within 30 days of the date of this inspection report, with the basis for your disagreement, to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory
Commission, ATTN: Document Control Desk, Washington, DC 20555-0001; with copies to the

2 SUMMARY Inspection Report 05000254/2017001, 05000265/2017001; 01/01/2017-03/31/2017; Quad Cities Nuclear Power Station, Units 1 and 2; Identification and Resolution of Problems. This report covers a 3-month period of inspection by resident inspectors and announced baseline inspections by regional inspectors. One Green finding was identified by the inspectors.
The finding involved a Non-Cited Violation (NCV) of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory
Commission (NRC) requirements. The significance of inspection findings is indicated by their color (i.e., greater than Green, or Green, White, Yellow, Red) and determined using Inspection Manual Chapter (IMC) 0609, "Significance Determination Process," dated April 29, 2015.
Cross-cutting aspects are determined using IMC 0310, "Aspects within the Cross-Cutting
Areas," dated December 4, 2014. All violations of NRC requirements are dispositioned in accordance with the NRC's Enforcement Policy, dated November 1, 2016. The NRC's program for overseeing the safe operation of commercial nuclear power reactors is described in NUREG-1649, "Reactor Oversight Process," Revision 6.
Cornerstone: Mitigating Systems Green. A finding of very low safety significance and an associated NCV of 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion V was self-revealed on January 27, 2017, when the Unit 1C residual heat removal service water (RHRSW) pump was started for a routine surveillance evolution and all expected annunciators and equipment failed to operate
properly, which led to the licensee declaring the Unit 1C RHRSW pump inoperable.
Specifically, the licensee failed to establish a procedure for the mechanism operated
contact (MOC) switch linkage arm that was appropriate to the circumstances to ensure the component would continue to perform its function. Immediate corrective actions included reconnecting the MOC switch linkage arm assembly and testing it by starting
the 1C RHRSW pump prior to declaring the pump operable. In addition, the licensee
planned procedure revisions to QCEPM 0200-11 that would specify a torque value to
ensure the MOC switch linkage arm was adequately secured and could perform its function. This issue was entered into the licensee's corrective action program as Issue
Report 3967424. The finding was determined to be more than minor because the finding was associated with the Mitigating Systems cornerstone attribute of equipment performance and
affected the cornerstone objective of ensuring the availability, reliability, and capability of
systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences.
Specifically, the failure to ensure the MOC switch linkage arm was adequately fastened
led to the failure of the component and its associated Unit 1C RHRSW pump during breaker operation on January 27, 2017. The finding was determined to be of very low safety significance (Green), because the inspectors answered "No" to all of the
questions in IMC 0609, Appendix A, "The Significance Determination Process for
Findings at Power," Exhibit 2, "Mitigati
ng Systems Screening Questions," Section A, "Mitigating SSCs and Functionality." The inspectors determined this finding affected the cross-cutting area of human performance, in the aspect of avoid complacency, which states, "Individuals recognize and plan for the possibility of mistakes, latent issues, and
inherent risk, even while expecting successful outcomes." Specifically, the licensee failed to recognize a potential risk and inherent latent issue for a condition identified in
2015 at Quad Cities, when a MOC switch failed to perform its function due to a missing
nut in a different breaker's linkage assembly. The licensee identified and corrected the
3 condition but failed to evaluate the cause of the missing nut because it did not impact the operability of the component. In the 2015 instance, the MOC switch issue only affected
indications for the component and had no adverse impact on the ability of the
component to perform its function [H.12]. (Section 4OA2)
4 REPORT DETAILS Summary of Plant Status
Unit 1 With the exception of planned power reductions for turbine testing, control rod pattern adjustments, and power changes as requested by the transmission system operator, the unit
remained at or near full power from January 1 to January 18, 2017. On January 18, the unit
began coasting down for Refueling Outage Q1R24. On March 27, 2017, the unit shut down for Q1R24 and remained shut down through the end of the inspection period.
Unit 2 The unit operated at or near full power for the entire inspection period with the exception of planned power reductions for turbine testing, control rod pattern adjustments, control rod drive maintenance, and power changes as requested by the transmission system operator.
1. REACTOR SAFETY Cornerstones: Initiating Events, Mitigating Systems, and Barrier Integrity 1R01 Adverse Weather Protection (71111.01) .1 Winter Seasonal Readiness Preparations a. Inspection Scope The inspectors conducted a review of the licensee's preparations for winter conditions to verify that the plant's design features and implementation of procedures were sufficient to protect mitigating systems from the effects of adverse weather. Documentation for
selected risk-significant systems was reviewed to ensure that these systems would remain functional when challenged by inclement weather. During the inspection, the
inspectors focused on plant specific design features and the licensee's procedures used
to mitigate or respond to adverse weather conditions. Additionally, the inspectors
reviewed the Updated Final Safety Analysis Report (UFSAR) and performance requirements for systems selected for inspection, and verified that operator actions were appropriate as specified by plant specific procedures. Cold weather protection, such as
heat tracing and area heaters, was verified to be in operation where applicable. The
inspectors also reviewed corrective action program (CAP) items to verify that the licensee was identifying adverse weather issues at an appropriate threshold and entering them into their CAP in accordance with station corrective action procedures. Documents reviewed are listed in the Attachment to this report. The inspectors' reviews focused specifically on the following plant systems due to their risk significance or susceptibility to cold weather issues:
- 345 kilo-volt system; and
- Units 1 and 2 standby liquid control systems. This inspection constituted one winter seasonal readiness preparation sample as defined in Inspection Procedure (IP) 71111.01-05.
5 b. Findings No findings were identified. 1R04 Equipment Alignment (71111.04) .1 Quarterly Partial System Walkdowns a. Inspection Scope The inspectors performed partial system walkdowns of the following risk-significant systems: * Unit 1 and Unit 2 emergency diesel generator (EDG) systems during Unit 1/2 EDG surveillance testing;
- Unit 2 reactor core isolation cooling (RCIC) system during Unit 2 high pressure coolant injection system planned maintenance;
- Unit 2 'C' and 'D' residual heat removal service water (RHRSW) pump systems
during 'A' and 'B' RHRSW syst
ems planned maintenance; and
- Unit 1 fuel pool cooling system during Unit 1 Q1R24 alternate decay heat removal
operations. The inspectors selected these systems based on their risk significance relative to the Reactor Safety Cornerstones at the time they were inspected. The inspectors attempted
to identify any discrepancies that could impact the function of the system and, therefore, potentially increase risk. The inspectors reviewed applicable operating procedures, system diagrams, UFSAR, Technical Specification (TS) requirements, outstanding work
orders (WOs), condition reports, and the impact of ongoing work activities on redundant
trains of equipment in order to identify conditions that could have rendered the systems
incapable of performing their intended functions. The inspectors also walked down
accessible portions of the systems to verify system components and support equipment were aligned correctly and operable. The inspectors examined the material condition of the components and observed operating parameter
s of equipment to verify that there were no obvious deficiencies. The inspectors also verified that the licensee had properly
identified and resolved equipment alignment problems that could cause initiating events or impact the capability of mitigating systems or barriers and entered them into the CAP with the appropriate significance characterization. Documents reviewed are listed in the Attachment to this report. These activities constituted four partial system walkdown samples as defined in
IP 71111.04-05. b. Findings No findings were identified.
6 1R05 Fire Protection (71111.05) .1 Routine Resident Inspector Tours (71111.05Q) a. Inspection Scope The inspectors conducted fire protection walkdowns which were focused on availability, accessibility and the condition of firefighting equipment in the following risk-significant plant areas:
- Fire zone (FZ) 11.2.1, Unit 1 reactor building, elevation 554'-0", southwest corner
room, 1B core spray;
- FZ 8.2.6.B, Unit 1 turbine building, elevation 595'-0", low pressure heater bay;
- FZ 8.2.7.B, Unit 1 turbine building, elevation 615'-6", low Pressure and 'D' heater
bay; and * FZ 8.2.7.C, Unit 1/2 turbine building, elevation 611', mezzanine floor. The inspectors reviewed areas to assess if the licensee had implemented a fire protection program that adequately controlled combustibles and ignition sources within the plant, effectively maintained fire detection and suppression capability, maintained passive fire protection features in good material condition, and implemented adequate
compensatory measures for out-of-service, degraded or inoperable fire protection
equipment, systems, or features in accordance with the licensee's fire plan.
The inspectors selected fire areas based on their overall contribution to internal fire risk
as documented in the plant's Individual Plant Examination of External Events with later additional insights, their potential to impact equipment which could initiate or mitigate a plant transient, or their impact on the plant's ability to respond to a security event.
Using the documents listed in the Attachment to this report, the inspectors verified that
fire hoses and extinguishers were in their designated locations and available for
immediate use; that fire detectors and sprinklers were unobstructed; that transient material loading was within the analyzed limits; and fire doors, dampers, and penetration seals appeared to be in satisfactory condition. The inspectors also verified that minor
issues identified during the inspection were entered into the licensee's CAP. Documents reviewed are listed in the Attachment to this report. These activities constituted four quarterly fire protection inspection samples as defined in
IP 71111.05-05. b. Findings No findings were identified. 1R06 Flooding (71111.06) .1 Internal Flooding a. Inspection Scope The inspectors reviewed selected risk important plant design features and licensee procedures intended to protect the plant and its safety-related equipment from internal flooding events. The inspectors reviewed flood analyses and design documents, including the UFSAR, engineering calculations, and abnormal operating procedures to
7 identify licensee commitments. The specific documents reviewed are listed in the Attachment to this report. In addition, the inspectors reviewed licensee drawings to
identify areas and equipment that may be affected by internal flooding caused by the failure or misalignment of nearby sources of water, such as the fire suppression or the circulating water systems. The inspectors also reviewed the licensee's corrective action
documents with respect to past flood-related items identified in the corrective action
program to verify the adequacy of the corrective actions. The inspectors performed a
walkdown of the following plant area to assess the adequacy of watertight doors and
verify drains and sumps were clear of debris and were operable, and that the licensee
complied with its commitments:
- Units 1 and 2 RHRSW vaults. Documents reviewed during this inspection are listed in the Attachment to this report. This inspection constituted one internal flooding sample as defined in IP 71111.06-05.
b. Findings No findings were identified. 1R07 Annual Heat Sink Performance (71111.07) .1 Heat Sink Performance a. Inspection Scope The inspectors reviewed the licensee's testing of the 'B' control room emergency ventilation system refrigeration condensing unit heat exchanger to verify that potential deficiencies did not mask the licensee's ability to detect degraded performance, to identify any common cause issues that had the potential to increase risk, and to ensure
that the licensee was adequately addressing problems that could result in initiating
events that would cause an increase in risk. The inspectors reviewed the licensee's
observations as compared against acceptance criteria, the correlation of scheduled testing and the frequency of testing, and the impact of instrument inaccuracies on test results. Inspectors also verified that test acceptance criteria considered differences
between test conditions, design conditions, and testing conditions. Documents reviewed for this inspection are listed in the Attachment to this document. This annual heat sink performance inspection constituted one sample as defined in
IP 71111.07-05. b. Findings No findings were identified. 1R08 Inservice Inspection Activities (71111.08) From March 27-31, 2017, the inspectors conducted a review of the implementation of the licensee's Inservice Inspection (ISI) Program for monitoring degradation of the Unit 1 reactor coolant system, risk-significant piping and components, and containment systems.
8 The inspections described in Sections 1R08.1 and 1R08.5 below constituted one sample
as defined in IP 71111.08-05. .1 Piping Systems Inservice Inspection a. Inspection Scope The inspectors either observed or reviewed the following Non-Destructive Examinations (NDE) mandated by the American Society of Mechanical
Engineers (ASME),Section XI Code to evaluate compliance with the ASME Code
Section XI and Section V requirements, and if any indications and defects were detected
to determine if these were dispositioned in accordance with the ASME Code or a NRC
approved alternative requirement:
- Ultrasonic examination of elbow-to-pipe weld (component 30A-S11) in the main steam system (WO No. 01831310-01);
- Ultrasonic examination of elbow-to-pipe weld (component 30B-S10) in the main steam system (WO No. 01831310-01);

- VT-3 of flued head anchor (component 1202-M-108.1) in the reactor water clean-up system (WO No. 01831310).
The inspectors reviewed one surface exami
nation from the previous outage with a relevant indication that was evaluated and accepted by the licensee for continued
service. The inspectors verified that the licensee's removal of the piping flange indications without a weld repair did not impact compliance with ASME Standard B16.5 for flange design and Standard B31.1 for piping design.
- Reactor head vent line indications found during liquid penetrant examinations (WO 01636433-07). The inspectors reviewed records for the following pressure boundary weld repairs completed for risk-significant systems during the last outage to determine whether the licensee applied the pre-service NDE and acceptance criteria required by the Construction Code, and/or the NRC-approved Code relief request. Additionally, the
inspectors reviewed the welding procedure specifications and supporting weld
procedure qualification records to determine whether the weld procedures were
9 qualified in accordance with the requirements of the Construction Code and the ASME Code, Section IX:
- installation of a 2-to-1 fillet weld at socket welds 1 through 23 on the Unit 1 reactor head vent line 1-0215-2"-B (WO No. 01636433-01); and
- high pressure coolant injection piping reroute-weld map #1 fillet welds at socket welds 2, 3, 8, 9, 16, and 17 on line 1-2318-2"-LX (WO No. 1877257-11). b. Findings No findings were identified. .2 Reactor Pressure Vessel Upper Head Penetration Inspection Activities (Not Applicable) .3 Boric Acid Corrosion Control (Not Applicable) .4 Steam Generator Tube Inspection Activities (Not Applicable) .5 Identification and Resolution of Problems a. Inspection Scope The inspectors performed a review of ISI-related problems entered into the licensee's CAP, and conducted interviews with licensee staff to determine if:
- the licensee had established an appropriate threshold for identifying ISI-related
problems;
- the licensee had performed a root cause (if applicable), and taken appropriate corrective actions; and
- the licensee had evaluated operating experience, and industry generic issues related to ISI and pressure boundary integrity. The inspectors performed these reviews to evaluate compliance with Title 10, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion XVI, "Corrective Action," requirements. The corrective action documents reviewed by the inspectors are listed in the Attachment to this report. b. Findings No findings were identified. 1R11 Licensed Operator Requalification Program (71111.11) .1 Resident Inspector Quarterly Review of Licensed Operator Requalification (71111.11Q) a. Inspection Scope On February 7, 2017, the inspectors observed a crew of licensed operators in the plant's simulator during licensed operator requalification training. The inspectors verified that
operator performance was adequate, evaluators were identifying and documenting crew performance problems, and that training was being conducted in accordance with licensee procedures. The inspectors evaluated the following areas:
10 * licensed operator performance;
- crew's clarity and formality of communications;
- ability to take timely actions in the conservative direction;
- prioritization, interpretation, and verification of annunciator alarms;
- correct use and implementation of abnormal and emergency procedures;
- control board manipulations;
- oversight and direction from supervisors; and
- ability to identify and implement appropriate TS actions and Emergency Plan actions and notifications. The crew's performance in these areas was compared to pre-established operator action expectations and successful critical task completion requirements. Documents reviewed are listed in the Attachment to this report. This inspection constituted one quarterly licensed operator requalification program simulator sample as defined in IP 71111.11-05.
b. Findings No findings were identified. .2 Resident Inspector Quarterly Observation during Periods of Heightened Activity or Risk
(71111.11Q) a. Inspection Scope On March 26, 2017, the inspectors observed control room operators on Unit 1 perform a planned shutdown for refueling outage Q1R24. This was an activity that required
heightened awareness and was related to increased risk. The inspectors evaluated the following areas:
- licensed operator performance;
- crew's clarity and formality of communications;
- ability to take timely actions in the conservative direction;
- prioritization, interpretation, and verification of annunciator alarms;
- correct use and implementation of abnormal and emergency procedures;
- control board manipulations;
- oversight and direction from supervisors; and
- ability to identify and implement appropriate TS actions and Emergency Plan actions and notifications. The performance in these areas was compared to pre-established operator action expectations, procedural compliance and task completion requirements. Documents reviewed are listed in the Attachment to this report. This inspection constituted one quarterly licensed operator heightened activity/risk sample as defined in IP 71111.11-05. b. Findings No findings were identified.
11 1R12 Maintenance Effectiveness (71111.12) .1 Routine Quarterly Evaluations a. Inspection Scope The inspectors evaluated degraded performance issues involving the following risk-significant systems:
- Z6600: emergency diesel generator systems; and
- Z8300: 125 volt direct current (VDC) battery systems. The inspectors reviewed events such as where ineffective equipment maintenance had resulted in valid or invalid automatic actuations of engineered safeguards systems and
independently verified the licensee's actions to address system performance or condition problems in terms of the following:
- implementing appropriate work practices;
- identifying and addressing common cause failures;
- scoping of systems in accordance with 10 CFR 50.65(b) of the maintenance rule;
- characterizing system reliability issues for performance;
- charging unavailability for performance;
- trending key parameters for condition monitoring;
- ensuring 10 CFR 50.65(a)(1) or (a)(2) classification or re-classification; and
- verifying appropriate performance criteria for structures, systems, and components (SSCs)/functions classified as (a)(2), or appropriate and adequate goals and corrective actions for systems classified as (a)(1). The inspectors assessed performance issues with respect to the reliability, availability, and condition monitoring of the system. In addition, the inspectors verified maintenance
effectiveness issues were entered into the CAP with the appropriate significance characterization. Documents reviewed are listed in the Attachment to this report. This inspection constituted two quarterly maintenance effectiveness samples as defined in IP 71111.12-05. b. Findings No findings were identified. 1R13 Maintenance Risk Assessments and Emergent Work Control (71111.13) .1 Maintenance Risk Assessments and Emergent Work Control a. Inspection Scope The inspectors reviewed the licensee's evaluation and management of plant risk for the maintenance and emergent work activities affecting risk-significant and safety-related
equipment listed below to verify that the appropriate risk assessments were performed
prior to removing equipment for work:
12 * Work week 17-02-05: Unit 1 RCIC system planned maintenance and online risk change to yellow, 'B' train of control room emergency heating, ventilation, and air conditioning system heat exchanger planned maintenance, 1A core spray pump
planned maintenance and Unit 1 online risk change to yellow;
- Emergent work on the Unit 2 3E automatic depressurization system electromatic relief valve light indication on February 3, 2017;
- Work week 17-09-12: Unit 2 125 VDC planned maintenance and both units unplanned online risk change to yellow due to tornado warnings in Rock Island County; and
- Work week 17-13-03: Unit 2 online risk change to yellow and Unit 1 shutdown safety risk yellow during refueling outage Q1R24-Week 1. These activities were selected based on their potential risk significance relative to the Reactor Safety cornerstones. As applicable for each activity, the inspectors verified that risk assessments were performed as required by 10 CFR 50.65(a)(4) and were accurate and complete. When emergent work was performed, the inspectors verified that the
plant risk was promptly reassessed and managed. The inspectors reviewed the scope
of maintenance work, discussed the results of the assessment with the licensee's
probabilistic risk analyst or shift technical advisor, and verified plant conditions were consistent with the risk assessment. The inspectors also reviewed TS requirements and walked down portions of redundant safety systems, when applicable, to verify risk analysis assumptions were valid and applicable requirements were met. Documents reviewed during this inspection are listed in the Attachment to this report. These maintenance risk assessments and emergent work control activities constituted four samples as defined in IP 71111.13-05. b. Findings No findings were identified. 1R15 Operability Determinations and Functional Assessments (71111.15) .1 Operability Evaluations a. Inspection Scope The inspectors reviewed the following issues:
- Issue Report (IR) 2709786: DGCWP [diesel generator cooling water pump]/RHRSW Common Suction Piping Degradation;
- IR 3968961: Residual Heat Removal (RHR) Thermal Performance Testing Using
Fluke Model 45;
- IR 3967424: Unit 1C RHRSW Pump Abnormal Indications; and
- IR 3971856: 1D RHRSW Trip Fuses Worked Out of Fuse Holder. The inspectors selected these potential operability issues based on the risk significance of the associated components and systems. The inspectors evaluated the technical
adequacy of the evaluations to ensure that TS operability was properly justified and the
subject component or system remained available such that no unrecognized increase in risk occurred. The inspectors compared the operability and design criteria in the

assessing opportunities for the PI and results of periodic ANS operability tests.
Documents reviewed are listed in the Attachment to this report. This inspection constitutes one ANS sample as defined in IP 71151-05. b. Findings No findings were identified. 4OA2 Identification and Resolution of Problems (71152) .1 Routine Review of Items Entered into the Corrective Action Program a. Inspection Scope As discussed in previous sections of this report, the inspectors routinely reviewed issues during baseline inspection activities and plant status reviews to verify they were being entered into the licensee's CAP at an appropriate threshold, adequate attention was
being given to timely corrective actions, and adverse trends were identified and addressed. Some minor issues were entered into the licensee's CAP as a result of the inspectors' observations; however, they are not discussed in this report. These routine reviews for the identification and resolution of problems did not constitute any additional inspection samples. Instead, by procedure they were considered an
integral part of the inspections performed during the quarter. b. Findings No findings were identified. .2 Annual Follow-up of Selected Issues a. Inspection Scope The inspectors selected the following issues and condition reports for in-depth review:
- IR 3967424, "Unit 1C RHRSW Pump Abnormal Indications;"
- Aggregate review of operator burdens; and
- IR 3985153, "Core Spray Keep Fill Valve 1-1402-64B, Stuck." As appropriate, the inspectors verified the following attributes during their review of the licensee's corrective actions for the above condition reports and other related condition
reports: * complete and accurate identification
of the problem in a timely manner commensurate with its safety significance and ease of discovery;
- consideration of the extent of condition, generic implications, common cause, and previous occurrences;
- evaluation and disposition of operability/functionality/reportability issues;
31 * classification and prioritization of the resolution of the problem commensurate with safety significance;
- identification of the root and contributing causes of the problem; and
- identification of corrective actions, which were appropriately focused to correct the
problem; * completion of corrective actions in a timely manner commensurate with the safety significance of the issue;
- effectiveness of corrective actions taken to preclude repetition;
- evaluate applicability for operating experience and communicate applicable lessons learned to appropriate organizations. The inspectors discussed the corrective actions and associated evaluations with licensee personnel. This review constituted three in-depth problem identification and resolution inspection samples as defined in IP 71152. b. Findings (1) Failure to Ensure Hardware Secure for Breaker Mechanism Operated Contact Switch
Linkage Introduction: A finding of very low safety significance and an associated NCV of 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion V, was self-revealed on January 27, 2017, when the Unit 1C RHRSW pump was started for a routine surveillance evolution and all expected annunciators and equipment failed to operate properly. This led to the licensee
declaring the Unit 1C RHRSW pump inoperable. Specifically, the licensee failed to
establish a procedure for the mechanism operated contact (MOC) switch linkage arm
that was appropriate to the circumstances (i.e. ensure the component would continue to
perform its function). Description: On January 27, 2017, the licens
ee started the Unit 1C RHRSW pump to support a RHR pump surveillance. Upon starting the pump, the control room received an RHRSW pump trip alarm. Equipment operators in the field reported that the 1C
RHRSW pump was running; however, room cooler fans for the pump were not operating
and the breaker light indication for the pump at Bus 14 was not lit. The licensee then
verified the breakers for the pump room cool
er fans were closed. Consequently, the licensee secured the RHR and RHRSW pumps, declared the Unit 1C RHRSW pump inoperable, and began troubleshooting the issue. The licensee's troubleshooting revealed that the linkage for the Unit 1C RHRSW pump breaker MOC switch had become disconnected. This prevented the MOC switch, which
controls other component functions (e.g. alarms and room cooler fan operation) through the use of auxiliary contacts, from functioning as expected. The licensee's equipment CAP evaluation identified that the licensee's procedure for periodic inspection of the breaker cubicle lacked specific guidance to ensure the MOC
switch linkage assembly hardware was adequately fastened. Specifically, the licensee's procedures for performing maintenance and inspections of 4 kilo-volt (kV) breakers lacked appropriate acceptance criteria or instructions that would ensure the linkage arm
for the MOC switch would not come loose during repeated breaker cycling. The
32 procedure, QCEPM 0200-11, "Inspection and Maintenance of Horizontal 4kV Cubicles," Section 4.5.9.1, directed the user to "Verify MOC switch linkage hardware is in place and
tight." The procedure did not specify a method for ensuring the hardware was tight. The licensee implemented corrective actions to establish appropriate instructions (i.e. mechanically verify tightness by using a tool, etc.) to ensure the MOC switch linkage would remain properly secured. Analysis: The inspectors determined that the licensee's failure to establish a procedure for the MOC switch linkage arm that was appropriate to the circumstances (i.e. ensure the component would continue to perform its function) was contrary to 10 CFR 50,
Appendix B, Criterion V, "Instructions, Procedures, and Drawings," and was a
performance deficiency. The performance deficiency was determined to be more than minor because the finding was associated with the Mitigating Syst
ems cornerstone attribute of equipment performance and affected the cornerstone objective of ensuring the availability,
reliability, and capability of systems that respond to initiating events to prevent
undesirable consequences. Specifically, the failure to ensure the MOC switch linkage
arm was adequately fastened led to the failure of the component and its associated 1C RHRSW pump during breaker operation on January 27, 2017. Using Inspection Manual Chapter (IMC) 0609, Attachment 4, "Initial Characterization of Findings," and IMC 0609, Appendix A, "The Significance Determination Process for Findings at Power," issued June 19, 2012, the finding was screened against the
Mitigating Systems cornerstone and determined to be of very low safety significance (Green), because the inspectors answered "No" to all of the questions in Exhibit 2,
"Mitigating Systems Screening Questions," Section A, "Mitigating SSCs and Functionality."
The inspectors determined this finding affected the cross-cutting area of human
performance, in the aspect of avoid complacency, which states, "Individuals recognize
and plan for the possibility of mistakes, latent issues, and inherent risk, even while
expecting successful outcomes." Specifically, the licensee failed to recognize a potential risk and inherent latent issue for a condition identified in 2015 at Quad Cities, when a MOC switch failed to perform its function due to a missing nut in a different breaker's
linkage assembly. The licensee identified and corrected the condition, but failed to
evaluate the cause of the missing nut because it did not impact the operability of the
component. In the 2015 instance, the MOC switch issue only affected indications for the
component and had no adverse impact on the ability of the component to perform its
function [H.12]. Enforcement: Title 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion V, "Instructions, Procedures, and Drawings," requires, in part, that activities affecting quality be prescribed by documented procedures of a type appropriate to the circumstances and be
accomplished in accordance with these procedures. The licensee established
QCEPM 0200-11, "Inspection and Maintenance of Horizontal 4kV Cubicles,"
Revision 37, as the implementing procedure for performing inspections and maintenance
on 4kV safety-related breaker cubicles, an activity affecting quality. Contrary to the above, prior to January 27, 2017, licensee procedure QCEPM 0200-11 failed to be of a type appropriate to the circumstances. Specifically, procedure
33 QCEPM 0200-11 did not contain instruction to ensure that the MOC switch linkage arm was adequately fastened and would continue to perform its function. On
January 27, 2017, during operation of the 1C RHRSW pump breaker, the MOC switch linkage arm became disconnected, preventing the MOC switch from performing its function, and led the licensee to declare the 1C RHRSW pump inoperable. The licensee's corrective actions included reconnecting the MOC switch linkage arm assembly and testing it by starting the
1C RHRSW pump prior to declaring the pump operable. In addition, the licensee planned procedure revisions to QCEPM 0200-11 that
would specify a torque value to ensure the MOC switch linkage arm was adequately
secured and could perform its function. Because the violation was of very low safety significance and was entered into the licensee's CAP as IR 3967424, this violation is being treated as a NCV, consistent with Section 2.3.2 of the Enforcement Policy.

4OA3 Follow-Up of Events and Notices of Enforcement Discretion (71153) .1 Unit 2 Alert Declared Following a Fire that Caused Damage to 'E' Automatic Depressurization System Indication and Control Circuitry a. Inspection Scope The inspectors reviewed the plant's response to a small fire in the Unit 2 control room panel that caused damage to the 'E' automatic depressurization system (ADS) electromatic relief valve (ERV) indication and control circuitry. At approximately 7:29 p.m. on February 1, 2017, a reactor operator was changing the closed-light indication light bulb on Unit 2 'E' ADS valve, 2-0203-3E. After inserting the new bulb with a bulb tool (a rubber sleeve that holds the small bulb), the operator
noticed sparking, and attempted to remove the bulb. When he removed the light, the
bulb had separated from the base, leaving the base in the light socket. The reactor
operator noticed arcing continued and went to the back of the control panel and identified a flame in the underside of the panel. Another operator in the control room
retrieved a fire extinguisher and discharged a short burst to extinguish the flame, the flame was out at 7:32 p.m. No equipment operated and no annunciators were received.
The Unit 2 supervisor declared the 'E' ADS valve inoperable and the licensee entered
Limiting Conditions for Operation (LCOs) 3.4.3, "RCS Safety and Relief Valves," Condition A, for one relief valve inoperable and LCO 3.5.1, "ECCS [Emergency Core Cooling Systems]-Operating," Condition H, for one ADS valve inoperable. The
licensee subsequently declared an ALERT at 7:38 p.m. for Emergency Action
Level MA5, "Hazardous event affecting a SAFETY SYSTEM required for the current
operating mode." Specifically, the Emergency Action Level conditions present were: a "FIRE AND the event caused VISIBLE DAMAGE to a SAFETY SYSTEM component or structure required by TS for the current operating mode."
Following visual inspections of the control panel and verifications that there were no
other equipment issues impacting plant operations, the licensee terminated from the
event at 11:36 p.m on February 1, 2017.
34 Licensee corrective actions included replacing the light sockets and wiring for the open and closed indications for the 'E' ADS valve, in addition to replacing the fuses for both
the normal and alternate power supplies for the control circuitry. The licensee declared the 'E' ADS valve operable on February 2, 2017. Both units remained at full power throughout the event.
The licensee entered this issue into their CAP as IR 3969324, "Light Socket for 2-203-3E
Damaged during Bulb Change," and their root cause evaluation was in-progress at the
end of this inspection period. This event follow-up review, including inspection of the licensee's evaluation of the event and planned corrective actions was in-progress at the end of this inspection period and continued into the next inspection period.
Documents reviewed are listed in the Attachment to this report.
This event follow-up review constituted a partial sample and continued into the next inspection period. b. Findings No findings were identified. .2 (Closed) Licensee Event Report 05000254/2017-001-00: Secondary Containment Interlock Doors Opened Simultaneously On January 24, 2017, the licensee identified that both doors in the secondary containment interlock on the 595' elevation between the reactor building and the Unit 2 reactor feed pump room were opened simultaneously for approximately 3 seconds. This
resulted in the licensee making an unplanned entry into LCO 3.6.4.1, Condition A, for an
inoperable secondary containment. The licensee immediately closed the interlock doors
to reestablish secondary containment and adm
inistratively controlled personnel entry and egress through the doors thereafter. The inspectors determined this issue was minor because secondary containment pressure remained negative throughout the condition, although the event resulted in an unplanned entry into the licensee's TS. The
cause of the event was a dirty contact that caused the interlock relay to stick. Corrective
actions taken by the licensee included inspecting and cleaning of the interlock relay
contacts. The inspectors reviewed the licensee event report (LER). No findings or violations of NRC requirements were identified. This LER is closed. This event follow-up review constituted one sample as defined in IP 71153-05. 4OA5 Other Activities .1 (Closed) NRC Temporary Instruction 2515/192, "Inspection of the Licensee's Interim Compensatory Measures Associated with the Open Phase Condition Design Vulnerabilities in Electric Power Systems" a. Inspection Scope The objective of this performance based Temporary Instruction is to verify implementation of interim compensatory measures associated with an open phase
35 condition (OPC) design vulnerability in electric power system for operating reactors. The inspectors conducted an inspection to determine if the licensee had implemented the following interim compensatory measures. These compensatory measures are to remain in place until permanent automatic detection and protection schemes are installed and declared operable for OPC design vulnerability. The inspectors verified
the following:
- The licensee had identified and discussed with plant staff the lessons-learned from the OPC events at the US operating plants, including the Byron station OPC event and its consequences. This included conducting operator training for
promptly diagnosing, recognizing consequences, and responding to an OPC
event. * The licensee had updated plant operating procedures to help operators promptly diagnose and respond to OPC events on off-site power sources credited for safe shutdown of the plant.
- The licensee had established and continues to implement periodic walkdown activities to inspect switchyard equipment such as insulators, disconnect switches, and transmission line and transformer connections associated with the
offsite power circuits to detect a visible OPC.
- The licensee had ensured that routine maintenance and testing activities on switchyard components have been implemented and maintained. As a part of the maintenance and testing activities, the licensee assessed and managed plant
risk in accordance with 10 CFR 50.65(a)(4) requirements. a. Findings and Observations No findings of significance were identified. The inspectors verified the criteria were met. .2 (Closed) Unresolved Item 05000254/2013003-02; 05000265/2013003-02: Question Concerning Licensing Bases of the Ultimate Heat Sink a. Inspection Scope During the 2013 Triennial Heat Sink Inspection, the inspectors identified an unresolved item (URI) concerning the current licensing bases with respect to failure of Lock and
Dam No. 14 on the Mississippi River. Specifically, the inspectors were concerned that
the licensee had revised its licensing basis as a result of a 1998 UFSAR change without
NRC approval. The licensee's historical documents stated the loss of river event was from a loss of Dam No. 14, whereas the current UFSAR discusses the loss of river event as damage to the lock. However, there was no discussion in the historical documents as
to what caused Dam No. 14 failure or the extent of the failure. Although both causes
result in the river being disconnected from the plant, there would be a significant time
difference as to how long it would be before the river was no longer available to cool plant equipment and the amount of time available for the plant staff to identify and take appropriate actions to address the failure at the dam. The licensee revised the UFSAR to clarify the loss of river event based on the Ashton Study, "Study of Mississippi River Water Stage at Quad Cities Nuclear Power Plant,"
dated April 24, 1998, which was performed to resolve a previous NRC URI with the loss
of dam event. This issue concerned the effects of the ultimate heat sink (UHS)
temperature being above the design temperature limit for several plant components
36 cooled by the service water systems. This issue was documented in NRC Inspection Report 05000254/1998201; 05000265/1998201 (ML9805180380) and subsequently
closed in NRC Inspection Report 05000254/1998019; 05000265/1998019 (ML9812290041). The closure of the 1998 URI was based on the results of the Ashton study, which concluded that the most likely failure of the dam was a navigation event
that would result in the loss of the dam lock. The study concluded that it would take 48
hours for the river level to lower to the point it disconnected from the UHS. In addition,
the study concluded based on the assumed low seismic region where the dam was located, a seismic event would not cause a failure of the dam, but result in the inability to operate the dam's rolling and miter gates. In addition, subsequent to the UFSAR change, the NRC granted Quad Cities an amendment for an extended power uprate,
dated December 21, 2001. The Safety Evaluation Report associated with this
amendment (ML013540222) discussed the loss of dam event using the clarified UFSAR wording of the lock failure as a basis for its approval. Based on the review of historical records and discussions with the Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation, the inspectors did not identify a concern with the current licensing basis with respect to the failure of Mississippi River Lock and Dam No. 14. As a result, this URI is closed. b. Findings No findings were identified. .3 (Closed) Unresolved Item 05000254/2013003-04; 05000265/2013003-04: Question
Concerning Availability of Dam Following a Seismic Event a. Inspection Scope During the 2013 Triennial Heat Sink Inspection, the inspectors identified a URI concerning the assumed availability of Mississippi River Lock and Dam No.14 following a design bases earthquake event. Discussion in the UFSAR implied the river was considered available during a Design Basis Event (DBE) even though the downstream
dam was not designed or constructed to remain functional during the assumed DBE.
Although the site appeared to be within their licensing bases (assume availability of the
river during a DBE), the inspectors questioned whether this assumption considered actual potential consequences, i.e., the need to assume a loss of dam during a seismic
event. The NRC issued Order EA-12-049, "Order Modifying Licenses with Regard to Requirements for Mitigation Strategies for Beyond Design-Basis External Events,"
dated March 12, 2012, which is being addressed by licensees based on the guidance of
NEI 12-06, "Diverse and Flexible Coping Strategies (FLEX) Implementation Guide." Per
Section 5 of the guidance document, the licensee was to address impact on the
availability of the UHS that relies on a non-seismically robust downstream dam to contain water used as the source of water for the UHS. The licensee submitted their response in a letter, "Overall Integrated Plan in Response to March 12, 2012,
Commission Order Modifying Licenses with Regard to Requirements for Mitigation
Strategies for Beyond-Design-Basis Exte
rnal Events (Order Number EA-12-049)," dated February 28, 2013. The NRC reviewed the licensee plan and issued "Quad Cities Nuclear Power Station, Units 1 and 2-Interim Staff Evaluation Relating to Overall
37 Integrated Plan in Response to Order EA-12-049 (Mitigation Strategies)," dated November 22, 2013. The evaluation stated the integrated plan to address the order did
not provide sufficient information to evaluate conformance with NEI 12-06, Consideration 3. As a result, the NRC established Open Item 3.1.1.2.B for licensees to assess a postulated downstream dam failure from a seismic event. In a letter, "Fifth
Six-Month Status Report in Response to March 12, 2012 Commission Order Modifying
Licenses with Regard to Requirements for Mitigation Strategies for Beyond Design-Basis
External Events (Order Number EA-12-049)," dated August 28, 2015, the licensee
documented its proposed actions to address this scenario from a FLEX standpoint. This included designing and installing a single deep well as a seismically qualified source of water for the FLEX mitigation strategy. This single deep well would be fully capable of
supplying both Unit 1 and Unit 2 FLEX requirements simultaneously. The alternate
approach discussed in the letter consisted of a FLEX pump and portable submersible
pump that would take suction from the discharge canal. The discharge canal would supply the necessary backup water supply. Although the discharge canal has not been seismically evaluated, there is reasonable assurance that this water supply will remain available as a source of water following a seismic event effecting the downstream dam
due to the size of the two diffuser pipes which connect to the main channel of the Mississippi River. These actions will be reviewed by the NRC in a safety evaluation to assess the
licensee's response to the order. Since this URI is being addressed by NRC Order EA-12-049, this URI is closed. b. Findings No findings were identified. 4OA6 Management Meetings .1 Exit Meeting Summary On April 11, 2017, the inspectors presented the inspection results to Mr. S. Darin, and other members of the licensee staff. The licensee acknowledged the issues presented. The inspectors confirmed that none of the potential report input discussed was
