SUMMARY
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) continued monitoring the licensees performance by conducting an integrated inspection at the Callaway Plant in accordance with the Reactor Oversight Process. The Reactor Oversight Process is the NRCs program for overseeing the safe operation of commercial nuclear power reactors. Refer to https://www.nrc.gov/reactors/operating/oversight.html for more information.
List of Findings and Violations No findings or violations of more than minor significance were identified.
Additional Tracking Items None.
PLANT STATUS
Callaway began the inspection period at approximately 20 percent power with a planned shutdown in progress for the refueling outage. On April 1, 2019, the licensee shut down the reactor and commenced the planned refueling outage. On April 17, with the reactor defueled and in no Mode, safety-related bus NB01 lost power and was automatically reenergized by the associated emergency diesel generator due to a loss of the 365 kV switchyard bus (NRC Event 54005). On May 11, with the reactor in Mode 4, the licensee identified an auxiliary building door that had been blocked open through reactor Mode ascension (NRC Event 54061).
On May 16, the licensee commenced a reactor startup. Later that day, an automatic reactor trip occurred due to high flux in the source range (NRC Event 54069) when operators failed to block this trip when conditions called for them to do so. On May 17, the licensee commenced a reactor startup. On May 18, the licensee tripped the main turbine due to high vibrations and the reactor remained critical, by design, due to the low power level at the time of the turbine trip.
The licensee restored the main turbine to service and connected the main generator to the electric grid on May 19. The licensee reached full power on May 22 and remained at this power level through the end of the inspection period.
INSPECTION SCOPES
Inspections were conducted using the appropriate portions of the inspection procedures (IPs) in effect at the beginning of the inspection unless otherwise noted. Currently approved IPs with their attached revision histories are located on the public website at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/doc-collections/insp-manual/inspection-procedure/index.html. Samples were declared complete when the IP requirements most appropriate to the inspection activity were met consistent with Inspection Manual Chapter (IMC) 2515, Light-Water Reactor Inspection Program - Operations Phase. The inspectors performed plant status activities described in IMC 2515 Appendix D, Plant Status and conducted routine reviews using IP 71152, Problem Identification and Resolution. The inspectors reviewed selected procedures and records, observed activities, and interviewed personnel to assess licensee performance and compliance with Commission rules and regulations, license conditions, site procedures, and standards.

INSPECTION RESULTS
Observation: Semi-Annual Trend Review 71152 The inspectors reviewed the licensees corrective action program, performance indicators, system health reports, and other documentation to identify trends that might indicate the existence of a more significant safety issue for troubleshooting equipment issues when the cause of a deficiency is not immediately clear and for a trend in safety-related door issues.
The following troubleshooting examples were reviewed by the inspectors for 2019 where the licensee was unable to positively identify the cause or correct the apparent condition:
- Condition Report 201900105: The P-9 bistable light was found unexpectedly not lit during a routine control room walkdown. The licensee decided to make an unplanned entry into the reactor trip instrumentation technical specification based on the indication. The licensee determined there were no activities in progress that affected the indication, verified that that the P-9 bistable was in the correct state, and a lamp test confirmed the light bulb was functioning. The P-9 bistable light then spontaneously relit and the licensee exited Technical Specification 3.3.1. The licensee concluded that that the observed condition appeared to be an indication problem only but was unable to find a clear cause. The licensee later inspected and re-lamped indicator lights for this issue.
- Condition Report 201901077: Control rod H-8 dropped while operating control rod bank D. Extensive troubleshooting by the licensee could not determine a conclusive reason for the control rod drop. After performing an undetermined cause risk assessment per Procedure MDP-ZZ-TR001, Planning and Execution of Formal Troubleshooting Activities, the licensee recovered the rod. The licensee discussed the condition with the vendor, reviewed industry operating experience, and later performed inspections of the control rod drive mechanism during the refueling outage.
After eliminating other possible causes, the licensee concluded that the probable cause was crud in the latching mechanism.
- Condition Report 201903494: When the train B motor-driven auxiliary feedwater pump suction check valve failed its breakaway torque checks, the licensee decided to make an unplanned entry into the auxiliary feedwater system technical specification.
The licensee conducted an inspection of the valve's internals which did not identify an obvious cause for the increased torque required to operate the check valve. The licensee later concluded the valve packing was the cause of the increased resistance.
The licensee returned the check valve to service following an adjustment of the valve packing and a successful performance of the torque check. Although a clear cause was not identified, the licensee took steps to eliminate other possible causes and took corrective action to improve operating torque.
The inspectors noted that the for these three examples, the licensee conservatively declared the equipment inoperable and initiated timely actions to identify the cause of the condition.
When the condition self-cleared or the cause could not be positively identified, the licensee ensured that they ruled out the known possible causes and took appropriate corrective actions to try to address the problem. The inspectors verified that all issues were addressed within the scope of the corrective action program and that the completed and planned corrective actions were appropriate to correct the identified causes. The inspectors did not identify any trends or concerns that might be indicative of a more significant safety issue for troubleshooting equipment issues when the cause of a deficiency is not immediately clear.
The inspectors also reviewed an apparent trend in problems with doors that were important to safety. After the NRC identified Green non-cited violation 05000483/2018002-02 (ADAMS ML18221A398), an auxiliary building door that was blocked open during Mode ascension (NRC Event 54061), and damaged door seals identified by the NRC which were documented in Condition Report 201903536, the licensee wrote Condition Report 201904398 to evaluate 34 condition reports generated in 2019 for an adverse trend in door issues. The licensee recognized gaps in their staffs understanding of functions performed by doors, identifying degraded conditions (including during use), and timely resolution of the issues identified. The inspectors noted that condition reports were being appropriately generated for individual deficiencies but that programmatic issues remain to be addressed. The inspectors noted that many of the condition reports are the result of a concerted effort to identify door issues at a low threshold. The inspectors concluded that the licensee appropriately identified this trend in safety-related door issues and was acting to address the causes.
Overall, the inspectors concluded that the licensee demonstrated a low threshold for issue identification and documentation in the corrective action program. The licensee applied a risk-based approach to ensure corrective actions are completed commensurate with an issues safety significance. The inspectors did not identify any additional trends or concerns that might be indicative of a more significant issue with safety-related doors.
