SUMMARY OF FINDINGS

IR 05000400/2008-004; July 1, 2008 - September 30, 2008; Shearon Harris Nuclear Power Plant, Unit 1; Access Controls to Radiologically Significant Areas

The report covered a three-month period of inspection by resident inspectors and announced inspections by one regional reactor inspector and four regional health physics inspectors. One Green non-cited violation (NCV) was identified. The significance of most findings is indicated by their color (Green, White, Yellow, Red) using IMC 0609, "Significance Determination Process" (SDP). The NRC's program for overseeing the safe operation of commercial nuclear power reactors is described in NUREG-1649, "Reactor Oversight Process," Revision 4, dated December 2006.

A. Inspector-Identified and Self-Revealing Findings

Cornerstone: Occupational Radiation Safety

Green.

A self-revealing Green NCV was identified for the failure to maintain control of access to the station's very high radiation areas (VHRA), as required by 10 CFR 20.1602. The inspectors determined that the licensee failed to maintain sufficient controls of access to VHRAs from the fall of 2006 through January 2008, contrary to 10 CFR 20.1602 and station procedural requirements. Licensee corrective actions included the retrieval and disposition of the security guard master keys, and developing more specific procedural guidance for key control and issuance at the station.

The issue was more than minor because it was associated with the Program/Process attribute of the Occupational Radiation Safety Cornerstone and affected the cornerstone objective to ensure worker health and safety from exposure to radiation by providing the security guards with the means of gaining unauthorized or inadvertent access to areas in which radiation levels could be encountered at 500 rads (5 grays) or more in 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br /> at 1 meter from a radiation source or any surface which the radiation penetrates. The finding was determined to be of very low safety significance because the finding did not involve ALARA planning, collective dose was not a factor, it did not involve an overexposure, there was not a substantial potential for a worker overexposure, and the licensee's ability to assess worker dose was not compromised. The cause of the finding was directly related to the risk significant decision making component in the human performance cross-cutting area because of the licensee's decision in the Fall of 2006 to create grand master keys which provided security guards unauthorized means of gaining access into VHRA's. (H.1.a) (Section 2OS1)

B. Licensee-Identified Violations

None.

REPORT DETAILS

Summary of Plant Status

The unit began the inspection period at rated thermal power, and operated at or near full power until August 11, 2008, when the plant was manually tripped due to indications of degrading main condenser vacuum. The plant was restarted on August 20, 2008, and returned to full power on August 21, 2008, and remained there for the remainder inspection period.

REACTOR SAFETY

Cornerstones: Initiating Events, Mitigating Systems, Barrier Integrity

1R01 Adverse Weather Protection

a. Inspection Scope

On August 27, 2008, the inspectors reviewed licensee actions taken in accordance with licensee procedure AP-300, Severe Weather Response, in preparation for impending adverse weather conditions when a tornado watch followed by a tornado warning was issued for the site. The inspectors also toured the plant grounds for loose debris, which could become missiles during a tornado, and ascertained operator staffing and if they could access controls and indications for those systems required for safe control of the plant. This inspection satisfied one inspection sample for the onset of adverse weather.

b. Findings

No findings of significance were identified.

1R04 Equipment Alignment

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors performed a partial walkdown of the following three systems listed below to verify the operability of redundant or diverse trains and components when safety equipment was inoperable. 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, walked down system components, and verified that selected breakers, valves, and support equipment were in the correct position to support system operation. 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 corrective action program. Documents reviewed are listed in the attachment.

b. Findings

No findings of significance were identified.

1R13 Maintenance Risk Assessments and Emergent Work Control

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors reviewed the licensee's risk assessments and the risk management actions for the plant configurations associated with the three activities listed below. The inspectors verified that the licensee performed adequate risk assessments, and implemented appropriate risk management actions when required by 10 CFR 50.65(a)(4). For emergent work, the inspectors also verified that any increase in risk was promptly assessed, and that the appropriate risk management actions were promptly implemented. Documents reviewed are listed in the Attachment.

• Risk associated with emergent work on the C-train charging/safety injection pump due to a service water leak on the oil cooler heat exchanger

• Risk associated with emergent replacement of SG-A, Channel II pressure transmitter

1R20 Refueling and Outage Activities

a. Inspection Scope

The licensee began a forced outage on August 11, 2008, after manually tripping the unit due to degraded main condenser vacuum. The inspectors observed portions of the shutdown, cooldown, maintenance activities, and startup activities to verify that the licensee maintained defense-in-depth (DID) commensurate with the applicable TS. The inspectors monitored licensee controls over the outage activities listed below. Documents reviewed are listed in the Attachment.

• Licensee configuration management, including daily outage reports, to evaluate DID and compliance with the applicable TS when taking equipment out-of-service

• Controls over the status and configuration of redundant safety systems (diesel generators and standby RHR pump) to ensure risk was minimized

• Decay heat removal processes to verify proper operation and that steam generators, when relied upon, were a viable means of backup cooling

• Heatup and startup activities to verify that TS, license conditions, and other requirements, commitments, and administrative procedure prerequisites for mode changes were met prior to changing modes or plant conditions

• Reactor coolant system (RCS) integrity was verified by reviewing RCS leakage calculations, and containment integrity was verified by reviewing the status of containment penetrations and containment isolation valves

• Containment closure activities, including a detailed containment walkdown, to verify no evidence of leakage and that debris had not been left which could affect the performance of the containment sump

• Licensee identification and resolution of problems related to outage activities

In addition to the above activities, the inspectors reviewed the licensee's trip report to verify operator response was in accordance with procedures and training and that equipment responded to the trip as designed. The inspectors reviewed the initial licensee event notification to verify that it met regulatory requirements.

b. Findings

No findings of significance were identified.

1R22 Surveillance Testing

a. Inspection Scope

For the four surveillance tests identified below, the inspectors witnessed testing and/or reviewed test data, to verify that the SSCs involved in these tests satisfied the requirements described in the TS and the FSAR section, and that the tests demonstrated that the SSCs were capable of performing their intended safety functions.

• This procedure included inservice testing requirements.

b. Findings

No findings of significance were identified.

1EP6 Drill Evaluation

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors observed an emergency preparedness drill conducted on September 11, 2008. The drill tested the emergency response organization's ability to respond to a loss of main control room annunciators followed by large break loss of coolant accident which lead to a general emergency declaration. The inspectors verified that the licensee's self-assessment of classification, notification, and protective action recommendation development were in accordance with licensee procedures and 10 CFR 50, Appendix E. The inspectors also attended the licensee critique of the drill to compare any inspector-observed weakness with those identified by the licensee in order to verify whether the licensee was properly identifying failures.

b. Findings

No findings of significance were identified.

RADIATION SAFETY

Cornerstone:

Occupational Radiation Safety

2OS1 Access Control to Radiologically Significant Areas (71121.01)

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors reviewed radiation work permits (RWPs) and work packages used to access dose significant areas and other high radiation work areas. The inspectors assessed the work control instructions and control barriers specified by the licensee. Electronic dosimeter alarm set points for both integrated dose and dose rate were evaluated for conformity with survey indications and plant policy. The inspectors interviewed workers to verify that they were aware of the actions required if their electronic dosimeters noticeably malfunctioned or alarmed.

The inspectors walked down and surveyed (using an NRC survey meter) these areas to verify that the prescribed RWP, procedure, and engineering controls were in place; that licensee surveys and postings were complete and accurate; and that air samplers were properly located. The inspectors reviewed RWPs for potential airborne radioactivity areas to verify barrier integrity and engineering controls performance (e.g. high-efficiency particulate air ventilation system operation) and to determine if there was a potential for individual worker internal exposures in excess of 50 millirem committed effective dose equivalent. Work areas having a history of, or the potential for, airborne transuranics were evaluated to verify that the licensee had considered the potential for transuranic isotopes and had provided appropriate worker protection. The inspectors assessed the adequacy of the licensee's internal dose assessment process for internal exposures. However, there were no internal exposures greater than 50 millirem committed effective dose equivalent. The inspectors also reviewed the licensee's physical and programmatic controls for highly activated and/or contaminated materials (non-fuel) stored within the spent fuel pool or other storage pools.

The inspectors reviewed a sample of the licensee's self-assessments and audits related to the access control program to verify that identified problems were entered into the CAP for resolution. The inspectors reviewed corrective action reports related to access controls and any high radiation area radiological incidents (issues that did not count as PI occurrences identified by the licensee in high radiation areas in excess of 1R/hr). Plant staff members were interviewed and corrective action documents were reviewed to verify that follow-up activities were being conducted in an effective and timely manner commensurate with their importance to safety and risk.

Physical and administrative barriers for access control were evaluated for failure and to determine if there were any barriers left to prevent personnel access. Unintended exposures exceeding 100 millirem total effective dose equivalent (or 5 rem shallow dose equivalent or 1.5 rem lens dose equivalent) were evaluated to determine if there were any regulatory overexposures or if there was a substantial potential for an overexposure.

The inspectors observed the following jobs that were being performed in radiation areas, airborne radioactivity areas, or high radiation areas for observation of work activities: Spent Fuel Shipping Casks Pressure Tests and Waste Gas Compressor Repairs. The inspectors reviewed radiological job requirements for these activities, including RWP requirements and work procedure requirements. Job performance was observed with respect to the radiological control requirements to assess whether radiological conditions in the work area were adequately communicated to workers through pre-job briefings and postings. The inspectors evaluated the adequacy of radiological controls, including required radiation, contamination, and airborne surveys for system breaches; radiation protection job coverage, and contamination controls.

The inspectors reviewed radiological work packages for high radiation work areas having significant dose rate gradients to evaluate whether the licensee adequately monitored exposure to personnel and to assess the adequacy of licensee controls. The inspectors discussed high dose rate/HRA and VHRA controls and procedures, including procedural changes that had occurred since the last inspection with the RPM. The inspectors discussed with radiation protection supervisors the controls that were in place for special areas of the plant that had the potential to become VHRAs during certain plant operations. The inspectors assessed if plant operations required communication beforehand with the radiation protection group, to allow corresponding timely actions to properly post and control the radiation hazards. The inspectors conducted plant walkdowns to assess the posting and locking of entrances to high dose rate high radiation areas and very high radiation areas.

During job performance observations, the inspectors evaluated radiation worker performance with respect to stated radiation safety work requirements. The inspectors evaluated whether workers were aware of any significant radiological conditions in their workplace; of the RWP controls and limits in place; and of the level of radiological hazards present. The inspectors also observed worker performance to determine if workers accounted for these radiological hazards. The inspectors reviewed radiological problem reports for which the cause of the event was due to radiation worker errors to determine if there was an observable pattern traceable to a similar cause and to determine if this perspective matched the corrective action approach taken by the licensee to resolve the reported problems.

During job performance observations, the inspectors evaluated radiation protection technician performance with respect to radiation safety work requirements. The inspectors evaluated whether technicians were aware of the radiological conditions in their workplace; the RWP controls and limits in place; and if their performance was consistent with their training and qualifications with respect to the radiological hazards and work activities. The inspectors reviewed radiological problem reports for which the cause of the event was RPT error to determine if there was an observable pattern traceable to a similar cause and to determine if this perspective matched the corrective action approach taken by the licensee to resolve the reported problems.

Problem Identification and Resolution

The inspectors evaluated the licensee's process for problem identification, characterization, and prioritization and verified that problems were entered into the CAP and resolved. For repetitive deficiencies and/or significant individual deficiencies in problem identification and resolution, the inspectors verified that the licensee's self-assessment activities were capable of identifying and addressing these deficiencies.

The inspectors completed 21 of the 21 required line-item samples detailed in IP 71121.01.

b. Findings

Introduction:

A self-revealing Green NCV was identified for the failure to maintain control of access to the station's very high radiation areas (VHRA), as required by 10 CFR 20.1602.

Description:

On January 08, 2008, it was discovered while accessing the containment personnel airlock (PAL) door that the station's security guard force was in possession of master keys that unlocked all of the station's VHRAs.

In the fall of 2006, the station security department undertook an effort to minimize duty gear for the convenience of the security officers, which included reducing keys on the officer's key ring. This initiative included creating a security grand master key that was then carried by the security officers and allowed access to all non-security locks on the plant site, including the locks controlled for radiation protection purposes. In addition to accessing the VHRAs, the security grand master key also permitted access to the station's locked high radiation areas (LHRAs). The creation and distribution of the security grand master key effectively placed the entire guard force in possession of the means to access the station's VHRAs and LHRAs, and without the knowledge of the station's radiation protection department or senior station management.

Analysis:

The licensee's failure to maintain sufficient controls over access to VHRAs from the fall of 2006 through January 2008 is contrary to 10 CFR 20.1602 and station procedural requirements, which represents a performance deficiency and a finding as described in Manual Chapter 0612, Appendix B, Issue Screening. The issue was more than minor because it was associated with the Program/Process attribute of the Occupational Radiation Safety Cornerstone and affected the cornerstone objective to ensure worker health and safety from exposure to radiation. The finding does not involve the application of traditional enforcement, because it did not result in actual safety consequences or the potential to impact the NRC's regulatory function, and was not the result of willful actions. The finding was evaluated using the SDP in accordance with Inspection Manual Chapter (IMC) 0609, Appendix C, for the Occupational Radiation Safety cornerstone. The finding was determined to be of very low safety significance because the finding did not involve ALARA planning, collective dose was not a factor, it did not involve an overexposure, there was not a substantial potential for a worker overexposure, and the licensee's ability to assess worker dose was not compromised. The cause of the finding was directly related to the risk significant decision making component in the human performance cross-cutting area because of the licensee's decision in the Fall of 2006 to create grand master keys which provided security guards unauthorized means of gaining access into VHRA's. (H.1.a)

Licensee corrective actions included the retrieval and disposition of the security guard master keys, and developing more specific procedural guidance for key control and issuance at the station.

Enforcement:

10 CFR 20.1602 for control of access to very high radiation areas requires in part, that the licensee shall institute measures to ensure that an individual is not able to gain unauthorized or inadvertent access to areas in which radiation levels could be encountered at 500 rads (5 grays) or more in 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br /> at 1 meter from a radiation source or any surface through which the radiation penetrates.

Contrary to the above, from the Fall of 2006 to the Fall of 2008, the security department created security grand master keys that unlocked all of the VHRAs on site and then distributed these keys to the security guard force. This action effectively placed the entire station guard force in possession of the means to access the VHRAs, and without the knowledge of station radiation safety management. Because the finding is of very low safety significance and has been entered into the corrective action system as NCR 261182, consistent with Section VI.A of the NRC Enforcement Policy, this violation is being treated as a non-cited violation, and is designated as NCV 05000400/2008004-01, "Failure to Maintain Control of the Stations' Very High Radiation Areas."

2OS3 Radiation Monitoring Instrumentation and Protective Equipment

a. Inspection Scope

Radiation Monitoring Instrumentation During tours of the Unit 1 reactor auxiliary building, waste processing building, and fuel handling building, the inspectors observed installed radiation detection equipment including the following instrument types: area radiation monitors (ARMs), continuous air monitors, personnel contamination monitors (PCMs), and portal monitors. The inspectors observed the physical location of the components, noted the material condition, and compared sensitivity ranges with Updated Final Safety Analysis Report (UFSAR) requirements. In addition, the inspectors discussed maintenance and performance history of the radiation monitoring system with the system engineer.

In addition to equipment walk-downs, the inspectors observed functional checks and alarm setpoint testing of various fixed and portable detection instruments. These observations included source checks of PCMs and portal monitors at the Radiologically Controlled Area exit. The inspectors observed the calibration of a Ludlum L-177 frisker and discussed calibration of other portable instruments using the gamma calibration range, the Shephard calibrator, and the neutron calibration range. The inspectors observed the calibration facilities and reviewed calibration source validation records for the Shephard calibration sources and neutron source. The most recent 10 CFR Part 61 analysis for dry active waste was reviewed to determine if calibration and check sources are representative of the plant source term.

4OA2 Identification and Resolution of Problems

.1 Routine Review of NCRs

As required by Inspection Procedure 71152, Identification and Resolution of Problems, and in order to help identify repetitive equipment failures or specific human performance issues for follow-up, the inspectors performed screening of all items entered into the licensee's corrective action program. This was accomplished by reviewing the description of each new NCR and attending daily management review meetings.

.2 Annual Sample:

Operator Work-Arounds

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors reviewed the cumulative effects of deficiencies that constituted operator work-arounds (OWAs) to determine whether or not they could affect the reliability, availability, and potential for misoperation of a mitigating system; affect multiple mitigating systems; or affect the ability of operators to respond in a correct and timely manner to plant transients and accidents. The inspectors also assessed whether OWAs were being identified and entered into the licensee's corrective action program at an appropriate threshold. Documents reviewed are listed in the attachment.

b. Observations and Findings

No findings of significance were identified. However, OWA-307 is a Level 1 operator work-around associated with intermittent thermal overload actuation on the 2 and 3B Spent Fuel Pool Cooling Pump when the pump is secured from the Main Control Room. This deficiency was designated for online repair in the OWA program. NCR 244299 was written on August 27, 2007, to document this issue with a corrective action due date of April 2, 2009. However, this is inconsistent with the licensee's goal that OWAs identified for online repair should be rolled into the 12 week work schedule. NCR 296879 was initiated to document and track this discrepancy.

.3 Annual Sample: Licensee Program for Monitoring and Control of Emergency Control Cooling System Leakage Outside Containment

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors reviewed the licensee's program for the monitoring and control of the emergency control cooling system (ECCS) leakage outside containment for portions of the system that are both inside and outside the reactor auxiliary building emergency exhaust system (RABEES) boundary. The actions associated with the 1995 engineering services request (ESR) 95-00687 were selected for detailed review. This ESR was associated with the licensee's discovery that portions of the emergency core cooling system (ECCS) piping were located outside the boundary of RABEES; the safety-related filtration system. The inspectors reviewed this report to verify that the licensee identified the full extent of the issue, performed an appropriate evaluation, and specified and prioritized appropriate corrective actions. Documents reviewed are listed in the Attachment.

b. Observations and Findings

No findings of significance were identified. To resolve the issue, the licensee reanalyzed and revised the dose assessments to account for untreated leakage from the ECCS system during the recirculation phase following a loss-of-coolant accident (LOCA). To ensure the assumptions of the revised dose assessment, the licensee instituted an administrative limit on external leakage that may occur from ECCS components outside the RABEES boundary. In addition, the licensee revised the FSAR to document the potential for ECCS leakage outside the RABEES boundary. Total ECCS leakage outside containment is monitored and trended per licensee procedure OST-1814, TMI III D.1.1 Inservice Liquid Systems Leak Test Refueling Outage Interval At All Times. ECCS piping outside the RABEES boundary is monitored for leakage every 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br /> per licensee procedure. Documents reviewed are included in the attachment to this report.
