Mr. Mike Perito Vice President Operations Entergy Operations, Inc. Grand Gulf Nuclear Station P.O. Box 756 Port Gibson, MS 39150 Subject: GRAND GULF NRC INTEGRATED INSPECTION REPORT NUMBER 05000416/2011002

Dear Mr. Perito:

On March 27, 2011, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed an inspection at your Grand Gulf Nuclear Station. The enclosed integrated inspection report documents the inspection findings, which were discussed on April 14, 2011, with Mike Perito, Vice President Operations, and other members of your staff. The inspections examined activities conducted under your license as they relate to safety and compliance with the Commission's rules and regulations and with the conditions of your license. The inspectors reviewed selected procedures and records, observed activities, and interviewed personnel.

Based on the results of this inspection, the NRC has determined that one Severity Level IV violation of NRC requirements occurred. The NRC has also identified five issues that were evaluated under the risk significance determination process as having very low safety significance (Green). The NRC has determined that four of these findings have violations associated with these issues. Additionally, one licensee-identified violation, which was determined to be of very low safety significance, is listed in this report. However, because of their very low safety significance and because they were entered into your corrective action program, the NRC is treating these findings as noncited violations, consistent with Section 2.3.2 of the NRC Enforcement Policy.

If you contest the significance of the noncited violations, 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, D.C. 20555-0001, with copies to the Regional Administrator, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Region IV, 612 E. Lamar Blvd, Suite 400, Arlington, Texas, 76011-4125; the Director, Office of Enforcement, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, D.C. 20555-0001; and the NRC Resident Inspector at the facility. In addition, if you disagree with the cross-cutting aspect assigned to any finding in this report, you should provide a response within 30 days of the date Entergy Operations, Inc. - 2 - of this inspection report, with the basis for your disagreement, to the Regional Administrator, Region IV, and the NRC Resident Inspector at the facility.

In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 of the NRC's "Rules of Practice," a copy of this letter, its enclosures, and your response, if you choose to provide one, will be made available electronically for public inspection in the NRC Public Document Room or from the NRC's document system (ADAMS), accessible from the NRC Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html.

SUMMARY OF FINDINGS

IR 05000416/2011002; 1/1/2011 - 3/27/2011; Grand Gulf Nuclear Station, Integrated Resident and Regional Report; Fire Protection, Maintenance Effectiveness, Radiological Hazard Assessment and Exposure Controls, and Event Follow-Up. The report covered a 3-month period of inspection by resident inspectors and an announced baseline inspection by region-based inspectors. Five Green noncited violations of significance were identified and one Green finding of significance was identified. The significance of most findings is indicated by their color (Green, White, Yellow, or Red) using Inspection Manual Chapter 0609, "Significance Determination Process." The cross-cutting aspect is determined using Inspection Manual Chapter 0310, "Components Within the Cross Cutting Areas." Findings for which the significance determination process does not apply may be Green or be assigned a severity level after NRC management review. 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. NRC-Identified Findings and Self-Revealing Findings

Cornerstone: Mitigating Systems

SLIV. Inspectors identified a noncited violation of 10 CFR 50.71(e)(4), which requires the final safety analysis report be updated, at intervals not exceeding 24 months, to reflect changes made in the facility or procedures described in the final safety analysis report. Licensee personnel failed to update the original revision of the final safety analysis report to reflect the actual number of low pressure coolant injection loops available for automatic initiation during shutdown cooling operations in Mode 3. The licensee plans to update the final safety analysis report at the next scheduled revision. This finding was entered into the licensee's corrective action program as condition report CR-GGN-2011-01631. The failure of licensing personnel to update the final safety analysis report to reflect the available low pressure coolant injection loops for automatic initiation during shutdown cooling operations in Mode 3 was a performance deficiency. This finding was evaluated using traditional enforcement because it had the potential for impacting the NRC's ability to perform its regulatory function. The inspectors used the NRC Enforcement Policy, dated September 30, 2010, to evaluate the significance of this violation. Consistent with the NRC Enforcement Policy, this finding was determined to be a Severity Level IV noncited violation.

Green.

The inspectors identified a noncited violation of 10 CFR Part 50.65(a)(2) for the licensee's failure to demonstrate that the performance of the train B control room air conditioner was being effectively controlled through the performance of appropriate preventive maintenance. Engineering did not properly evaluate maintenance rule functional failures resulting in the system remaining in an a(2) status instead of an a(1) status. As corrective action, the train B control room air conditioner was moved into an a(1) status. The licensee entered this issue into their corrective action program as Condition Report CR-GGN-2011-01623. The finding was more than minor because it was associated with the equipment performance attribute of the Mitigating Systems Cornerstone and adversely affected the cornerstone objective to ensure the availability, reliability, and capability of systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences. Inspectors performed a Phase 1 screening, in accordance with Inspection Manual Chapter 0609, Attachment 4, "Phase 1 - Initial Screening and Characterization of Findings," and determined that the finding was of very low safety significance (Green) because the maintenance rule aspect of the finding did not cause an actual loss of safety function of the system nor did it cause a component to be inoperable. As corrective action, the train B control room air conditioner was moved into an (a)(1) status. This finding had a crosscutting aspect in the area of human performance associated with the decision making component because licensee personnel failed to make appropriate safety-significant or risk-significant decisions to address the multiple failures of the train B control room air conditioner compressor. H.1(a) (Section 1R12.b.2)

Green.

The inspectors reviewed a self-revealing noncited violation of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion XVI, Corrective Action, after the licensee failed to determine the cause and prevent recurrence of a significant condition adverse to quality associated with the train B control room air conditioner compressor tripping due to low oil pressure. Specifically, on December 13, 2010, the train B control room air conditioner compressor tripped on low oil pressure after the licensee had performed a root cause analysis to identify the cause and prevent recurrence of a similar compressor trip on October 14, 2010. As immediate corrective action, the licensee installed an inline suction filter. No additional failures have occurred since its installation. The finding was entered into the licensee's corrective action program as Condition Report CR-GGN-2010-07315. This finding was more than minor because it was associated with the equipment performance attribute of the Mitigating Systems Cornerstone and adversely affected the cornerstone objective to ensure the availability, reliability, and capability of systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences. Using Inspection Manual Chapter 0609, "Significance Determination Process," Phase 1 worksheets, the inspectors determined that a Phase 2 analysis was required because the finding represented a loss of system safety function. The plant-specific risk informed notebook does not include the evaluation of risk caused by the loss of cooling to the main control room.

Therefore, the senior reactor analyst conducted a Phase 3 analysis. Based on the bounding analysis, the analyst determined that the change in core damage frequency result was 5.9 x 10-7. This noncited violation was therefore determined to be of very low safety significance (Green). This finding had a crosscutting aspect in the area of problem identification and resolution associated with the corrective action program component because licensee personnel failed to thoroughly evaluate the multiple failures of the train B control room air conditioner compressor. P.1(c) (Section 4OA3.1.b)

Cornerstone: Barrier Integrity

Green . The inspectors identified a noncited violation of Facility Operating License Condition 2.C(41), involving the failure to ensure that transient combustible were not stored in the fire exclusion zone near the independent spent fuel storage installation. The inspectors performed a quarterly fire protection inspection of independent spent fuel storage installation and identified a large air conditioner with combustible material covering it located in the fire exclusion zone that was within 60 feet of the dry fuel storage pad. The inspectors determined through interviews that the material had been placed there the previous day by the maintenance department. As immediate corrective action the licensee removed the combustible material from the area. The finding was entered into the licensee's corrective action program as Condition Report CR-GGN-2011-00455. This finding was more than minor because it was associated human performance attribute of the Barrier Integrity Cornerstone to provide reasonable assurance that physical design barriers protect the public from radionuclide releases caused by accidents or events. Using Manual Chapter 0609, Appendix F, "Fire Protection Significance Determination Process," the inspectors determined that the finding impacted the fire prevention and administrative controls category. The inspectors assigned a low degradation rating due to the fact that the amount of combustible material in the area was minimal. The inspectors concluded that the finding was of very low safety significance (Green) due to the fact there were no fire ignition sources in the area. The cause of this finding has a crosscutting aspect in the area of human performance associated with the work practices component because the licensee failed to effectively communicate expectations regarding storage of combustible material near the dry fuel storage pad. H.4(b) (Section 1R05.1.b)

Green.

The inspectors reviewed a self-revealing, Green finding of EN-DC-115, "Engineering Change Process," involving the failure to maintain adequate design control measures associated with the installation of the mitigation monitoring system. On November 8, 2010, a reactor coolant pressure boundary failure occurred at the skid mounted Online Noble Chemical - Mitigation Monitoring System pump inside primary containment. The positive displacement sample pump ejected the pump piston from the housing, resulting in an approximate 7 gpm leak of reactor coolant. The steam leak resulted in a reactor recirculation system flow control valve lockup (due to hydraulic power unit motor failure) and approximately 15,000 square feet of contaminated area in the primary containment structure. The licensee failed to ensure proper validation testing for the pump prior to installation. Specifically, the licensee did not ensure that the pump could withstand the operating pressures and temperatures of the system in which it was installed. The licensee removed the mitigation monitoring system from service and isolated the skid from the reactor water cleanup system. This finding was entered into the licensee's corrective action program as Condition Report CR-GGN-2010-07852. The finding is more than minor because it affects the design control attribute of the Barrier Integrity Cornerstone to provide reasonable assurance that physical design barriers protect the public from radionuclide releases caused by accidents or events. Therefore, using inspection Manual Chapter 0609, "Significance Determination Process," Phase 1 Worksheet for LOCA initiators, the inspectors concluded that the finding was of very low safety significance (Green) because the failure of the mitigation monitoring system would not have exceeded technical specifications limits for identified leakage in the reactor coolant system. This finding has a crosscutting aspect in the work practices component of the human performance area; because the licensee failed to adequately oversee the design of the mitigation monitoring system such that nuclear safety is supported. H.4(c) (Section 4OA3.2.b)

Cornerstone: Occupational Radiation Safety

Green.

The inspectors identified a noncited violation of Technical Specification 5.7.2, resulting from the licensee's failure to use a qualified radiation protection technician to provide direct continuous coverage of work in a locked high radiation area. The finding was placed into the corrective action program as Condition Report CR-GGN-2011-01045, and corrective action was being evaluated. The failure to use a qualified radiation protection technician to provide direct continuous coverage of work in a locked high radiation area is a performance deficiency. The finding was more than minor because it was associated with the Occupational Radiation Safety Cornerstone attribute (exposure control) of program and process and affected the cornerstone objective, in that, the failure to use qualified radiation protection technicians to provide job coverage in a high radiation area with dose rates in excess of 1000 mrem/hr had the potential to increase personnel dose. Using the Occupational Radiation Safety Significance Determination Process, the inspectors determined the finding to have very low safety significance because: (1) it was not associated with ALARA planning or work controls, (2) there was no overexposure, (3) there was no substantial potential for an overexposure, and (4) the ability to assess dose was not compromised. (Section 2RS01.b)

B. Licensee-Identified Violations

Violations of very low safety significance, which were identified by the licensee, have been reviewed by the inspectors. Corrective actions taken or planned by the licensee have been entered into the licensee's corrective action program. These violations and corrective action tracking numbers (condition report numbers) are listed in Section 4OA7.

REPORT DETAILS

Summary of Plant Status Grand Gulf Nuclear Station began the inspection period at full rated thermal power. On January 9, 2011, operators reduced power to 68 percent for a planned control rod sequence exchange and isolation of the moisture separator reheaters (MSRs) second stage steam to both the 'A' and 'B' MSRs due to tube leaks in the 'A' MSR. The plant was returned to 96 percent power on January 10, 2011, which was maximum power level allowed with MSR second stage steam isolated. On February 18, 2011, operators reduced power to 77 percent for monthly control rod testing, turbine testing, and to remove 'B' heater drain pump from service in an attempt to repair a steam leak on the heater drain pump 'B' discharge flange. The plant was returned to 96 percent power on February 19, 2011. On March 11, 2011, operators reduced power to 84 percent power for a planned control rod testing and to remove 'B' heater drain pump from service in another attempt to repair a steam leak on the heater drain pump 'B' discharge flange. The plant was returned to 96 percent power on March 12, 2011. On March 23, 2011, operators reduced power to 93 percent power to remove the 'B' heater drain pump from service again in another attempt to repair a steam leak on the heater drain pump 'B' pump discharge flange. The plant was returned to 96 percent power on March 12, 2011. The plant remained at 96 percent power for the remainder of the inspection period.

REACTOR SAFETY

Cornerstones: Initiating Events, Mitigating Systems, Barrier Integrity, and Emergency Preparedness

1R01 Adverse Weather Protection

.1 Readiness for Seasonal Extreme Weather Conditions

a. The inspectors performed a review of the adverse weather procedures for seasonal extreme low temperatures. The inspectors verified that weather-related equipment deficiencies identified during the previous year were corrected prior to the onset of seasonal extremes, and evaluated the implementation of the adverse weather preparation procedures and compensatory measures for the affected conditions before the onset of, and during, the adverse weather conditions. Inspection Scope During the inspection, the inspectors focused on plant-specific design features and the procedures used by plant personnel to mitigate or respond to adverse weather conditions. Additionally, the inspectors reviewed the updated final safety analysis report and performance requirements for systems selected for inspection and verified that operator actions were appropriate as specified by plant-specific procedures. Specific documents reviewed during this inspection are listed in the attachment. The inspectors also reviewed corrective action program items to verify that plant personnel were identifying adverse weather issues at an appropriate threshold and entering them into their corrective action program in accordance with station corrective action procedures. The inspectors' reviews focused specifically on the following plant systems: Standby service water Emergency diesel generators Plant service water Fire water pumps and tanks These activities constitute completion of one readiness for seasonal adverse weather sample as defined in Inspection Procedure 71111.01-05. b. No findings were identified. Findings

.2 Readiness for Impending Adverse Weather Conditions a. Since extreme cold conditions and icing were forecast in the vicinity of the facility for January 9, 2011, the inspectors reviewed overall preparations/protection for the expected weather conditions. On January 7, 2011, the inspectors inspected the standby service water towers because their safety-related functions could be affected as a result of the extreme cold and icing conditions forecast for the facility. The inspectors observed space heater operation and weatherized enclosures to ensure operability of affected systems. The inspectors reviewed licensee procedures and discussed potential compensatory measures with control room personnel. The inspectors focused on plant management's actions for implementing the station's procedures for ensuring adequate personnel for safe plant operation and emergency response would be available. Specific documents reviewed during this inspection are listed in the attachment. Inspection Scope These activities constitute completion of one readiness for impending adverse weather condition sample as defined in Inspection Procedure 71111.01-05. b. No findings were identified. Findings 1R04 Equipment Alignments

.1 Partial Walkdown

a. The inspectors performed partial system walkdowns of the following risk-significant systems: Inspection Scope Division II standby service water system during Division I maintenance outage Residual heat removal system B during residual heat removal system A maintenance outage Residual heat removal system C during residual heat removal system A maintenance outage Division II standby diesel generator system during Division I maintenance outage Standby liquid control system A during standby liquid control system B maintenance outage 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 affect the function of the system, and, therefore, potentially increase risk. The inspectors reviewed applicable operating procedures, system diagrams, UFSAR, technical specification requirements, administrative technical specifications, outstanding work orders, 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 inspected 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 parameters 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 corrective action program with the appropriate significance characterization. Specific documents reviewed during this inspection are listed in the attachment.

These activities constitute completion of five partial system walkdown samples as defined in Inspection Procedure 71111.04-05. b. No findings were identified. Findings

1R05 Fire Protection

Quarterly Fire Inspection Tours a. The inspectors conducted fire protection walkdowns that were focused on availability, accessibility, and the condition of firefighting equipment in the following risk-significant plant areas: Inspection Scope Division II diesel generator room (1D303)

Residual heat removal pump and heat exchanger rooms A (1A102 and 1A103) Residual heat removal pump and heat exchanger rooms B (1A105 and 1A106) Reactor Core Isolation Pump Room (1A104) Dry fuel storage pad area (Area 59 the Yard) The inspectors reviewed areas to assess if licensee personnel 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 had 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 affect equipment that 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, 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 corrective action program. Specific documents reviewed during this inspection are listed in the attachment.

These activities constitute completion of five quarterly fire-protection inspection samples as defined in Inspection Procedure 71111.05-05.

b. Findings

Introduction . The inspectors identified a Green noncited violation of Facility Operating License Condition 2.C(41), involving the failure to ensure that transient combustible were not stored in the fire exclusion zone near the independent spent fuel storage installation. Description . On January 24, 2011, the inspectors performed a quarterly fire protection inspection of independent spent fuel storage installation. The inspectors identified a large air conditioner with combustible material covering it located in the fire exclusion zone that appeared to be within 60 feet of the dry fuel storage pad. The inspectors brought this to the attention of the work center senior reactor operator. The work center senior reactor operator contacted the site fire engineer, who walked down the fire exclusion zone and determined that the combustible material covering the air conditioner was within the 60 feet of the dry fuel storage pad, which is in violation of plant procedural requirements. The inspectors determined through interviews that the material had been placed there the day before by the maintenance department. The site had the air conditioner and the covering material removed from the fire exclusion zone to restore compliance.

The licensee documented this violation in Condition Report CR-GGN-2011-00455. Its short-term corrective actions included removing the combustible material from the area.

Analysis.

The inspectors determined that the failure to follow fire protection procedures developed for control of transient combustible material stored near the dry spent fuel storage pad was a performance deficiency. This finding was more than minor because it was associated human performance attribute of the Barrier Integrity Cornerstone to provide reasonable assurance that physical design barriers protect the public from radionuclide releases caused by accidents or events. Using Manual Chapter 0609, Appendix F, "Fire Protection Significance Determination Process," the inspectors determined that the finding impacted the fire prevention and administrative controls category. The inspectors assigned a low degradation rating due to the fact that the amount of combustible material in the area was minimal. The inspectors concluded that the finding was of very low safety significance (Green) due to the fact there were no fire ignition sources in the area. The finding has a crosscutting aspect in the area of human performance associated with the work practices component because the licensee failed to effectively communicate expectations regarding storage of combustible material near the dry fuel storage pad. H.4(b)

Enforcement.

Grand Gulf Nuclear Station Facility Operating License Condition 2.C(41) states, in part, that the plant "shall implement and maintain in effect all provisions of the Fire Protection Program as described in the UFSAR." UFSAR Section 9B, "Administrative Controls," section 9B.6.a, governs the handling and limits the use of ordinary combustible materials in safety related areas. Fire area 59, defined as the yard, contains the fire exclusion area next to the dry fuel storage pad and prohibits the storage of any combustible material in this area. Contrary to this, on January 23, 2011, the licensee stored combustible material inside the transient combustible exclusion zone near the dry fuel storage pad. The licensee restored compliance by removing the material from the area on January 25, 2011. Because the finding was of very low safety significance (Green) and was documented in the licensee's corrective action program as CR-GGN-2011-0455, this finding is being treated as a noncited violation (NCV) consistent with Section VI.A of the NRC Enforcement Policy: NCV 05000416/2011002-01; Transient Combustible Stored in the Fire Exclusion Zone Near the Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation.

1R06 Flood Protection Measures

a. The inspectors reviewed the flooding analysis, and plant procedures to assess seasonal susceptibilities involving internal flooding; reviewed the Updated Final Safety Analysis Report and corrective action program to determine if licensee personnel identified and corrected flooding problems; inspected underground bunkers/manholes to verify the adequacy of sump pumps, level alarm circuits, cable splices subject to submergence, and drainage for bunkers/manholes; subject to flooding that contain cables whose failure could disable risk-significant equipment. The inspectors walked down the areas listed below. Specific documents reviewed during this inspection are listed in the attachment.

Inspection Scope January 11, 2011, division 1 and 2 standby service water manholes These activities constitute completion of one bunker/manhole sample as defined in Inspection Procedure 71111.06-05. b. No findings were identified. Findings

1R07 Heat Sink Performance

a. The inspectors reviewed licensee programs, verified performance against industry standards, and reviewed critical operating parameters and maintenance records for the Division 1 emergency diesel generator jacket water and lube oil heat exchangers. The inspectors verified that performance tests were satisfactorily conducted for heat exchangers/heat sinks and reviewed for problems or errors; the licensee utilized the periodic maintenance method outlined in EPRI Report NP 7552, "Heat Exchanger Performance Monitoring Guidelines"; the licensee properly utilized biofouling controls; the licensee's heat exchanger inspections adequately assessed the state of cleanliness of their tubes; and the heat exchanger was correctly categorized under 10 CFR 50.65, "Requirements for Monitoring the Effectiveness of Maintenance at Nuclear Power Plants." Specific documents reviewed during this inspection are listed in the attachment. Inspection Scope These activities constitute completion of one heat sink inspection sample as defined in Inspection Procedure 71111.07-05.

b. Findings

No findings were identified.

1R11 Licensed Operator Requalification Program

a. On January 31, 2011, the inspectors observed a crew of licensed operators in the plant's simulator to verify that operator performance was adequate, evaluators were identifying and documenting crew performance problems and training was being conducted in accordance with licensee procedures. The inspectors evaluated the following areas: Inspection Scope Licensed operator performance Crew's clarity and formality of communications Crew's ability to take timely actions in the conservative direction Crew's prioritization, interpretation, and verification of annunciator alarms Crew's correct use and implementation of abnormal and emergency procedures Control board manipulations Oversight and direction from supervisors Crew's ability to identify and implement appropriate technical specification actions and emergency plan actions and notifications The inspectors compared the crew's performance in these areas to preestablished operator action expectations and successful critical task completion requirements. Specific documents reviewed during this inspection are listed in the attachment. These activities constitute completion of one quarterly licensed-operator requalification program sample as defined in Inspection Procedure 71111.11. b. No findings were identified. Findings

1R12 Maintenance Effectiveness

a. The inspectors evaluated degraded performance issues involving the following risk significant systems: Inspection Scope Appendix R emergency lighting units (Z92) Control room air conditioning (Z51) Residual heat removal (E12) The inspectors reviewed events such as where ineffective equipment maintenance has 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)

Characterizing system reliability issues for performance Charging unavailability for performance Trending key parameters for condition monitoring Ensuring proper classification in accordance with 10 CFR 50.65(a)(1) or -(a)(2) Verifying appropriate performance criteria for structures, systems, and components classified as having an adequate demonstration of performance through preventive maintenance, as described in 10 CFR 50.65(a)(2), or as requiring the establishment of appropriate and adequate goals and corrective actions for systems classified as not having adequate performance, as described in 10 CFR 50.65(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 corrective action program with the appropriate significance characterization. Specific documents reviewed during this inspection are listed in the attachment. These activities constitute completion of three quarterly maintenance effectiveness samples as defined in Inspection Procedure 71111.12-05. b.

===.1 Failure to Update Available Low Pressure Cooling Injection Loops in the Updated Final Safety Analysis Report Findings

Introduction.

=

Inspectors identified a Severity Level IV, noncited violation for the licensee's failure to update the final (updated) safety analysis report in accordance with 10 CFR 50.71(e)(4). Specifically, the licensee failed to update Section 6.3, "Emergency Core Cooling Systems," to appropriately reflect the available emergency core cooling equipment during shutdown cooling operations in Mode 3.

Description.

On February 28, 2011, while reviewing the updated final safety analysis report for a maintenance effectiveness inspection of the residual heat removal system, the inspectors determined that Section 6.3.1.1.1.e, "Emergency Core Cooling Systems," states, "The ECCS is designed to satisfy all criteria specified in Section 6.3 for any normal mode of reactor operation." Additionally, Section 6.3.1.1.2.d states, "In the event of a break in a pipe that is part of the reactor coolant pressure boundary, no single active component failure in the emergency core cooling system shall prevent automatic initiation and successful operation of less than the following combination of emergency core cooling system equipment: 1) Three low pressure coolant injection loops, the low pressure core spray and the automatic depressurization system (i.e., high pressure core spray failure); 2) Two low pressure coolant injection loops, the high pressure core spray and the automatic depressurization system (i.e., low pressure core spray diesel generator failure); and 3) One low pressure coolant injection loop, the low pressure core spray, the high pressure core spray and automatic depressurization system (i.e., low pressure coolant injection diesel generator failure)." Procedure 03-1-01-3, "Plant Shutdown," Revision 118, Section 6.14 states, "When shutdown cooling is placed in service at less than 135 psig, then the associated containment spray and low pressure coolant injection systems may be considered operable if capable of being manually realigned and not otherwise inoperable." Inspectors noted that because the residual heat removal system that provides shutdown cooling in Mode 3 is not available for automatic initiation (must be manually realigned) of low pressure coolant injection, in the event of a reactor coolant system pipe break, that the aforementioned statements in Section 6.3 did not appropriately reflect the available emergency core cooling equipment during shutdown cooling operations. In other words, the combinations of emergency core cooling equipment available for automatic initiation would include one less low pressure coolant injection loop. The licensee entered this issue into their corrective actions program as Condition Report CR-GGN-2011-01631. The licensee planned to take actions to update the updated final safety analysis report at the next scheduled revision.

Analysis.

The failure of licensing personnel to update the final safety analysis report to reflect the available low pressure coolant injection loops for automatic initiation during shutdown cooling operations in Mode 3 was a performance deficiency. This finding was evaluated using traditional enforcement because it had the potential for impacting the NRC's ability to perform its regulatory function. The inspectors used the NRC Enforcement Policy, dated September 30, 2010, to evaluate the significance of this violation. Consistent with the NRC Enforcement Policy, this finding was determined to be a Severity Level IV noncited violation. This finding had no crosscutting aspect as it was associated with a traditional enforcement violation.

Enforcement.

Title 10 CFR 50.71(e)(4) requires the final safety analysis report be updated, at intervals not exceeding 24 months, and states in part, "the revisions must reflect all changes made in the facility or procedures described in the FSAR." Contrary to the above, licensing personnel failed to update the original revision of the final safety analysis report to reflect the actual number of low pressure coolant injection loops available for automatic initiation during shutdown cooling operations in Mode 3.

Because the finding is of very low safety significance and has been entered into the corrective action program as Condition Report CR-GGN-2011-01631, this violation is being treated as a noncited violation consistent with the NRC Enforcement Policy: NCV 0500416/20011002-02, "Failure to Update Available Low Pressure Coolant Injection Loops in the Updated Final Safety Analysis Report."

===.2 Failure to Demonstrate Maintenance Effectiveness of Train B Control Room Air Conditioner

Introduction.

=

The inspectors identified a Green noncited violation of 10 CFR Part 50.65(a)(2) for the failure to demonstrate that the performance of the train B control room air conditioner was being effectively controlled through the performance of appropriate preventive maintenance.

Description.

On March 2, 2011, the inspectors performed a maintenance effectiveness inspection of the control room air conditioning system. Inspectors determined that on February 3, 2010, the train B control room air conditioner compressor was replaced with a remanufactured compressor as part of annual preventative maintenance of the system. On March 27, 2010, the control room air conditioner compressor tripped on low usable oil pressure. The licensee's investigation revealed that the compressor pencil strainer was approximately fifty percent covered with unidentified contaminants. Similar contaminants were identified on the oil sump strainer. The licensee concluded that the compressor had been installed with contaminants inside the lower half of the compressor, and subsequently replaced the remanufactured compressor on April 1, 2010, with a newly rebuilt compressor. System engineering did not classify this event as a maintenance rule functional failure even though operations had declared the train inoperable and also stated in their operability determination that it could not meet its 30 day mission time. The train B control room air conditioner compressor subsequently either tripped or failed to properly cool the control room, due to low usable oil pressure, on three separate occasions (once in April, once May, and once in June). In response to the June failure, the licensee performed extensive maintenance on the train B control room air conditioner compressor, which included installing a five micron suction line filter in the system. Additionally, all three events were identified as maintenance rule functional failures attributed to foreign material fouling in the system, which would have resulted in the performance criteria being exceeded (less than or equal to two maintenance rule functional failure events or as a repeat functional failure). However, the site's maintenance rule coordinator informed the inspectors that the first two events in April and May were not counted toward the criteria because they were from the same cause as the June event and; therefore, they would all be counted as one failure even thought the train was returned to service each time after corrective maintenance was performed and declared operable by operations. Additionally, on June 22, 2010, the train was declared inoperable due to multiple Freon leaks and was classified as another maintenance rule functional failure for the train. On August 10, 2010, the licensee performed a Maintenance Rule (a)(1) evaluation for the subject system and, based on the presentation to the expert panel by system engineering, the panel only considered two events as maintenance rule functional failures. System engineering did not count the one failure in March or consider the two failures in April or May. The expert panel only considered the failures in June due to low oil pressure and Freon leaks. Therefore the expert panel concluded that, although the train B control room air conditioner system had exceeded its established performance criteria for functional failure events, a number of effective corrective actions had been identified and implemented and additional corrective actions were not necessary; therefore, the subject system was allowed to retain its (a)(2) status. The train B control room air conditioner compressor subsequently either tripped or failed to properly cool the control room, due to low usable oil pressure, on two separate occasions (once in September and once in October). The October trip of the subject system compressor occurred while the train A control room air conditioner was out of service for routine maintenance. The compressor pencil strainer and sump strainer were again identified with contaminants on them. The licensee was required to make an eight-hour report to the NRC and submit a licensee event report due to both trains of control room air conditioner being inoperable. The licensee's root cause analysis failed to identify that the train B control room air conditioner performance had not been demonstrated through the performance of appropriate preventative maintenance; nor did the root cause identify that the licensee failed to set goals and monitor the system as required by 10 CFR 50.65(a)(1). The train B control room air conditioner was ultimately moved into (a)(1) status on February 4, 2011, after the subject compressor again tripped due to low oil pressure on December 13, 2010. After this trip and upon further evaluation, the licensee performed an additional corrective action that installed an in line suction filter with smaller filtering diameter and larger surface area to remove foreign material from the system. They also modified the operator rounds to obtain daily readings of differential pressure across this new filter and through calculation, determined a differential pressure necessary for the filter to be changed out and the unit to be inspected for foreign materials. The licensee entered this issue into their corrective actions program as Condition Report CR-GGN-2011-01623. From installation of the new inline suction filter to the conclusion of the inspection period, no additional trips of train B control room air conditioning have occurred.

Analysis.

The inspectors determined that the failure to demonstrate that the performance of the train B control room air conditioner was being effectively controlled through the performance of appropriate preventive maintenance was a performance deficiency. The finding was more than minor because it was associated with the equipment performance attribute of the Mitigating Systems Cornerstone and adversely affected the cornerstone objective to ensure the availability, reliability, and capability of systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences. Inspectors performed a Phase 1 screening, in accordance with Inspection Manual Chapter 0609, Attachment 4, "Phase 1 - Initial Screening and Characterization of Findings," and determined that the finding was of very low safety significance (Green)because it did not result in a loss of system safety function since the train A control room air conditioner remained operable. This finding had a crosscutting aspect in the area of human performance associated with the decision making component because licensee personnel failed to make appropriate safety-significant or risk-significant decisions to address the multiple failures of the train B CRAC compressor. H.1(a)

Enforcement.

Title 10 CFR 50.65(a)(2), states, in part, that "monitoring as specified in paragraph (a)(1) of this section is not required where it has been demonstrated that the performance or condition of a structure, system, or component is being effectively controlled through the performance of appropriate preventative maintenance, such that the structure, system, or component remains capable of performing its intended function." Contrary to the above, from March 2010 to February 2011, the licensee failed to demonstrate that the performance of the train B control room air conditioning system was effectively controlled through the performance of appropriate preventative maintenance. This finding was entered into the licensee's corrective action program as Condition Report CR-GGN-2011-01623. Because this finding was determined to be of very low safety significance and was entered into the licensee's corrective action program, this violation is being treated as a noncited violation consistent with the NRC Enforcement Policy: NCV 05000285/2011002-03, "Failure to Demonstrate Maintenance Effectiveness of Train B Control Room Air Conditioner."

R13 Maintenance Risk Assessments and Emergent Work Control

a. The inspectors reviewed licensee personnel'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: Inspection Scope On January 9, 2011, during an ice storm requiring the plant to enter a yellow risk condition and enter their off normal event procedure for severe weather.

On February 3, 2011, during an ice storm requiring the plant to enter a yellow risk condition and enter their off normal event procedure for severe weather. The weather required the site to cancel work and monitor their safety related standby service water system for icing conditions.

On February 9, 2011, during a winter storm, while a divisions 1 diesel generator and residual heat removal A were out for planned maintenance outage requiring the plant to enter orange risk.

On February 28, 2011, during the accidental unearthing of energized plant service water pump cables, no consequence to the plant but resulted in work stoppage and evaluation of risk status for the site.

On March 8-9, 2011, with an emergent issue with the division 1 diesel generator and a tornado watch issued for the area requiring the plant to enter yellow risk. The site entered their severe weather off normal procedure; this procedure required the site to secure from half scram surveillances.

The inspectors selected these activities based on potential risk significance relative to the reactor safety cornerstones. As applicable for each activity, the inspectors verified that licensee personnel performed risk assessments as required by 10 CFR 50.65(a)(4) and that the assessments were accurate and complete. When licensee personnel performed emergent work, the inspectors verified that the licensee personnel promptly assessed and managed plant risk. 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 the technical specification requirements and inspected portions of redundant safety systems, when applicable, to verify risk analysis assumptions were valid and applicable requirements were met. Specific documents reviewed during this inspection are listed in the attachment.

These activities constitute completion of five emergent work control inspection samples as defined in Inspection Procedure 71111.13-05.

b. No findings were identified. Findings

1R15 Operability Evaluations

a. The inspectors reviewed the following issues: Inspection Scope Division 3 high pressure core spray diesel generator outside air fan temperature switch fluctuating Train A standby service water drift eliminator support base plate corrosion and missing brass bolts Train A standby service water valve P41-F299A flange degradation Residual heat removal equipment area temperature high/inoperable due to temperature switch Site fire truck inoperable Division 1 diesel generator auxiliary oil pump not obtaining procedural pressures during pre-lube prior to surveillance run 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 technical specification 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 appropriate sections of the technical specifications and UFSAR to the licensee personnel's evaluations to determine whether the components or systems were operable. Where compensatory measures were required to maintain operability, the inspectors determined whether the measures in place would function as intended and were properly controlled. The inspectors determined, where appropriate, compliance with bounding limitations associated with the evaluations. Additionally, the inspectors also reviewed a sampling of corrective action documents to verify that the licensee was identifying and correcting any deficiencies associated with operability evaluations. Specific documents reviewed during this inspection are listed in the attachment.

These activities constitute completion of six operability evaluations inspection samples as defined in Inspection Procedure 71111.15-04 b. No findings were identified. Findings

1R18 Plant Modifications

a. To verify that the safety functions of important safety systems were not degraded, the inspectors reviewed the following temporary modifications: Inspection Scope Temporary Modification for RWCU A/B Leak Detection (EC 22625 & EC 22635)

Temporary Modification to install bypass signals for 'B' first stage Pressure Sensor (EC22768) The inspectors reviewed the temporary modifications and the associated safety-evaluation screening against the system design bases documentation, including the updated final safety analysis report and the technical specifications, and verified that the modification did not adversely affect the system operability/availability. The inspectors also verified that the installation and restoration were consistent with the modification documents and that configuration control was adequate. Additionally, the inspectors verified that the temporary modification was identified on control room drawings, appropriate tags were placed on the affected equipment, and licensee personnel evaluated the combined effects on mitigating systems and the integrity of radiological barriers.

These activities constitute completion of two samples for temporary plant modifications as defined in Inspection Procedure 71111.18-05. b. No findings were identified. Findings

The inspectors evaluated these activities for the following (as applicable): The effect of testing on the plant had been adequately addressed; testing was adequate for the maintenance performed Acceptance criteria were clear and demonstrated operational readiness; test instrumentation was appropriate The inspectors evaluated the activities against the technical specifications, the UFSAR, 10 CFR Part 50 requirements, licensee procedures, and various NRC generic communications to ensure that the test results adequately ensured that the equipment met the licensing basis and design requirements. In addition, the inspectors reviewed corrective action documents associated with postmaintenance tests to determine whether the licensee was identifying problems and entering them in the corrective action program and that the problems were being corrected commensurate with their importance to safety. Specific documents reviewed during this inspection are listed in the attachment. These activities constitute completion of six postmaintenance testing inspection samples as defined in Inspection Procedure 71111.19-05. b. No findings were identified. Findings

Cornerstone:

Occupational and Public Radiation Safety

2RS0 1 Radiological Hazard Assessment and Exposure Controls

a. Inspection Scope

This area was inspected to: (1) review and assess licensee's performance in assessing the radiological hazards in the workplace associated with licensed activities and the implementation of appropriate radiation monitoring and exposure control measures for both individual and collective exposures, (2) verify the licensee is properly identifying and reporting Occupational Radiation Safety Cornerstone performance indicators, and (3) identify those performance deficiencies that were reportable as a performance indicator and which may have represented a substantial potential for overexposure of the worker. The inspectors used the requirements in 10 CFR Part 20, the technical specifications, and the licensee's procedures required by technical specifications as criteria for determining compliance. During the inspection, the inspectors interviewed the radiation protection manager, radiation protection supervisors, and radiation workers. The inspectors performed walkdowns of various portions of the plant, performed independent radiation dose rate measurements and reviewed the following items: Performance indicator events and associated documentation reported by the licensee in the Occupational Radiation Safety Cornerstone The hazard assessment program, including a review of the license's evaluations of changes in plant operations and radiological surveys to detect dose rates, airborne radioactivity, and surface contamination levels Instructions and notices to workers, including labeling or marking containers of radioactive material, radiation work permits, actions for electronic dosimeter alarms, and changes to radiological conditions Programs and processes for control of sealed sources and release of potentially contaminated material from the radiologically controlled area, including survey performance, instrument sensitivity, release criteria, procedural guidance, and sealed source accountability Radiological hazards control and work coverage, including the adequacy of surveys, radiation protection job coverage, and contamination controls; the use of electronic dosimeters in high noise areas; dosimetry placement; airborne radioactivity monitoring; controls for highly activated or contaminated materials (non-fuel) stored within spent fuel and other storage pools; and posting and physical controls for high radiation areas and very high radiation areas Radiation worker and radiation protection technician performance with respect to radiation protection work requirements Audits, self-assessments, and corrective action documents related to radiological hazard assessment and exposure controls since the last inspection Specific documents reviewed during this inspection are listed in the attachment. These activities constitute completion of the one required sample as defined in Inspection Procedure 71124.01-05.

b. Findings

Introduction.

The inspectors identified a Green, noncited violation of Technical Specification 5.7.2, resulting from the licensee's failure to use a qualified radiation protection technician to provide direct continuous coverage of work in a locked high radiation area.

Description.

The inspectors reviewed Condition Report CR-GGN-2011-00655, which documented the identification by Cooper Nuclear Station that a contractor seeking employment as a radiation protection technician did not meet ANSI 18.1 requirements. The finding, documented February 2, 2011, was discussed with Entergy sites during a teleconference. Then, Grand Gulf Nuclear Station determined the individual had been employed as a radiation protection technician at Grand Gulf Nuclear Station during Refueling Outage 17, conducted in April and May 2010. In response, Grand Gulf Nuclear Station reviewed the radiation surveys performed by the individual (from April 15 through May 13, 2010), concluded the surveys contained "data comparable with that documented in other surveys in the same areas under similar conditions," and closed the condition report on February 8, 2011. The inspectors reviewed the radiation survey records included in the condition report and noted something the licensee had not addressed. On April 27, 2010, the individual had provided job coverage for work in a locked high radiation area (an area with dose rates greater than 1000 mrem/hour). Survey GG-1004-0660 identified the work area as the 128-foot auxiliary pipe chase, above the reactor water cleanup pump rooms. Since the individual used by the licensee to provide job coverage and surveillance in a locked high radiation area was not a qualified radiation protection technician, the inspectors identified this as a performance deficiency.

Analysis.

The failure to use a qualified radiation protection technician to provide direct continuous coverage of work in a locked high radiation area is a performance deficiency. The finding was more than minor because it was associated with the Occupational Radiation Safety Cornerstone attribute (exposure control) of program and process and affected the cornerstone objective, in that, the failure to use qualified radiation protection technicians to provide job coverage in a high radiation area with dose rates in excess of 1000 mrem/hr had the potential to increase personnel dose. Using the Occupational Radiation Safety Significance Determination Process, the inspectors determined the finding to have very low safety significance because: (1) it was not associated with ALARA planning or work controls, (2) there was no overexposure, (3) there was no substantial potential for an overexposure, and (4) the ability to assess dose was not compromised.

The inspectors identified no cross-cutting aspect associated with this finding.

Enforcement.

Technical Specification 5.7.2, controls for high radiation areas with dose rates greater than 1000 mrem/hour, consists of all the controls for high radiation areas (Technical Specification 5.7.1) plus it requires doors to the area remain locked except during periods of access by personnel under an approved radiation work permit that shall specify the dose rate levels in the immediate work areas and the maximum allowable stay times for individuals in those areas. In lieu of the stay time specification for the radiation work permit, direct or remote continuous surveillance may be made by personnel qualified in radiation protection procedures to provide positive exposure control over the activities being performed within the area. Contrary to the above, during work in an area with dose rates greater than 1000 mrem/hour on April 27, 2010, in lieu of the stay time specification for the radiation work permit, direct or remote surveillance was not made by personnel qualified in radiation protection procedures to provide positive exposure control over the activities being performed within the area. Instead, an unqualified person was assigned to provide surveillance of a locked high radiation on April 27, 2010. The licensee initiated Condition Report CR-GGN-2011-01045 to document the fact that it failed to identify this performance deficiency as part of the review associated with the closure of Condition Report CR-GGN-2011-00655. Because the violation was of very low safety significance and it was entered into the licensee's corrective action program, the violation is being treated as a noncited violation, consistent with the enforcement policy. NCV 05000416/2011002-04, "Failure to Use a Qualified Radiation Protection Technician to Provide Direct Continuous Coverage of Work in a Locked High Radiation Area."

2RS0 2 Occupational ALARA Planning and Controls

a. Inspection Scope

This area was inspected to assess performance with respect to maintaining occupational individual and collective radiation exposures as low as is reasonably achievable (ALARA). The inspectors used the requirements in 10 CFR Part 20, the technical specifications, and the licensee's procedures required by technical specifications as criteria for determining compliance. During the inspection, the inspectors interviewed licensee personnel and reviewed the following items: Site-specific ALARA procedures and collective exposure history, including the current 3-year rolling average, site-specific trends in collective exposures, and source-term measurements ALARA work activity evaluations/postjob reviews, exposure estimates, and exposure mitigation requirements The methodology for estimating work activity exposures, the intended dose outcome, the accuracy of dose rate and man-hour estimates, and intended versus actual work activity doses and the reasons for any inconsistencies Records detailing the historical trends and current status of tracked plant source terms and contingency plans for expected changes in the source term due to changes in plant fuel performance issues or changes in plant primary chemistry Radiation worker and radiation protection technician performance during work activities in radiation areas, airborne radioactivity areas, or high radiation areas Audits, self-assessments, and corrective action documents related to ALARA planning and controls since the last inspection Specific documents reviewed during this inspection are listed in the attachment. These activities constitute completion of the one required sample as defined in Inspection Procedure 71124.02-05.

4OA2 Identification and Resolution of Problems

Cornerstones: Initiating Events, Mitigating Systems, Barrier Integrity, Emergency Preparedness, Public Radiation Safety, Occupational Radiation Safety, and Physical Protection

.1 Routine Review of Identification and Resolution of Problems

a. As part of the various baseline inspection procedures discussed in previous sections of this report, the inspectors routinely reviewed issues during baseline inspection activities and plant status reviews to verify that they were being entered into the licensee's corrective action program at an appropriate threshold, that adequate attention was being given to timely corrective actions, and that adverse trends were identified and addressed. The inspectors reviewed attributes that included the complete and accurate identification of the problem; the timely correction, commensurate with the safety significance; the evaluation and disposition of performance issues, generic implications, common causes, contributing factors, root causes, extent of condition reviews, and previous occurrences reviews; and the classification, prioritization, focus, and timeliness of corrective actions. Minor issues entered into the licensee's corrective action program because of the inspectors' observations are included in the attached list of documents reviewed. Inspection Scope 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 and documented in Section 1 of this report.

b. No findings were identified. Findings

.2 Daily Corrective Action Program Reviews

a. In order to assist with the identification of repetitive equipment failures and specific human performance issues for follow-up, the inspectors performed a daily screening of Inspection Scope items entered into the licensee's corrective action program. The inspectors accomplished this through review of the station's daily corrective action documents. The inspectors performed these daily reviews as part of their daily plant status monitoring activities and, as such, did not constitute any separate inspection samples. b.

.1 (Closed) LER 05000416/2010-002-00, "Control Room Air Conditioning Inoperability - Loss of Both Trains"

a. On October 14, 2010, while operating at approximately 100 percent power, the train B control room air conditioner subsystem tripped on low oil pressure while the train A control room air conditioner subsystem was out of service for maintenance. The control room temperature increased and actions were taken to maintain control room temperatures below the technical specification limit of 90 degrees Fahrenheit. The two control room air conditioning subsystems were inoperable for 64 hours7.407407e-4 days <br />0.0178 hours <br />1.058201e-4 weeks <br />2.4352e-5 months <br /> and 24 minutes until the train A control room air conditioner was declared operable.

Inspection Scope The three possible failure mechanisms that the licensee identified in their root cause evaluation were 1) the intermittent failure of the low oil differential pressure switch, 2) the intermittent failure of one or more loading/unloading mechanisms, and 3) one or more of the temperature control valves were in an open condition or in a more than desired open position. The licensee also identified a contributing cause of failure to exclude foreign material during maintenance activities on the train B control room air conditioner. Inspectors reviewed the circumstances surrounding the event, the licensee's response to the event, and the licensee's corrective actions to preclude repetition. Documents reviewed as part of this inspection are listed in the attachment. The enforcement aspects of this finding are discussed in this section and in Section 1R12. This LER is closed.

b. Findings

Introduction.

The inspectors reviewed a self-revealing, Green noncited violation of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion XVI, Corrective Action, after the licensee failed to determine the cause and prevent recurrence of a significant condition adverse to quality associated with the train B control room air conditioner compressor tripping due to low oil pressure.

Description.

On October 14, 2010, the train B control room air conditioner subsystem tripped on low oil pressure while the train A control room air conditioner subsystem was out of service for maintenance. The control room temperature increased, and actions were taken to maintain control room temperatures below the technical specification limit of 90 degrees Fahrenheit. The licensee determined that the event (i.e., one subsystem inoperable and unavailable for maintenance while the other subsystem was inoperable due to a trip) was reportable to the NRC. The two control room air conditioning subsystems were inoperable for 64 hours7.407407e-4 days <br />0.0178 hours <br />1.058201e-4 weeks <br />2.4352e-5 months <br /> and 24 minutes until the train A control room air conditioner was declared operable. This was a significant condition because it rendered technical specification required equipment inoperable. The licensee's corrective actions to address the event involved performing a root cause evaluation. The licensee concluded that the three possible failure mechanisms were 1) an intermittent failure of low oil differential pressure switch, 2) an intermittent failure of one or more loading/unloading mechanisms, and 3) failure of one or more thermal expansion valves. The licensee also concluded that a contributing cause of the event was the failure to exclude foreign material during maintenance activities of the system. The licensee addressed each of the possible root causes, as well as the contributing cause, since a single root cause could not be determined. The corrective action for the three probable root causes included 1) ensuring that only original differential pressure switches are used (or a suitable equivalent) for replacement; 2) revising planned maintenance tasks to included instructions for the loader/unloader disassembly, inspection and reassembly; 3) revising tasks for compressor A and B rebuilds; and 4) revising compressor preventative maintenance tasks to record the degree of superheat for each thermal expansion valve. Despite the corrective actions implemented by the licensee, the train B control room air conditioner compressor again tripped on December 13, 2010, due to low oil pressure. After this trip and upon further evaluation, the licensee performed an additional corrective action that installed an inline suction filter with smaller filtering diameter and larger surface area to remove foreign material from the system. The licensee also modified the operator rounds to obtain daily readings of differential pressure across this new filter and through calculation, determined a differential pressure necessary to change the filter. The condition report that documented the December 13th event was closed to the corrective actions associated with the October 14th compressor trip and the new corrective action associated with the newly installed in line suction filter. The licensee entered this event into their corrective actions program as condition report CR-GGN-2010-07315. Since the use of the new inline suction filter, they have not had any additional trips of the control room air conditioning B. The April 2011 inspection showed that the filter had reduced foreign material on the compressor suction strainer by 40 percent from the March 2011 inspection. Also in May 2011, the licensee plans to boroscope the evaporation section of the air conditioner to search for any other foreign material.

Analysis.

The inspectors determined that the failure to take corrective actions to prevent recurrence of the train B control room air conditioner compressor tripping due to low oil pressure was a performance deficiency. This finding was more than minor because it was associated with the equipment performance attribute of the Mitigating Systems Cornerstone and adversely affected the cornerstone objective to ensure the availability, reliability, and capability of systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences. Using Inspection Manual Chapter 0609, "Significance Determination Process," Phase 1 worksheets, the inspectors determined that a Phase 2 estimate was required because the finding represented a loss of system safety function. The plant-specific risk informed notebook does not include the evaluation of risk caused by the loss of cooling to the main control room. Therefore, the senior reactor analyst conducted a Phase 3 analysis. The analyst noted that understanding the risk affect of control room chillers required a review of the following items: Loss of offsite power frequency LOOP): Several alternative methods of cooling control room equipment are available provided offsite power is available. Therefore, the dominant risk impact of essential chillers is during a loss of offsite power. The loss of offsite power frequency documented in the plant-specific SPAR model is 3.59 x 10-2/year.

Loss of the opposite train probability (PCH-A): The performance deficiency only affected Train B CRAC. Therefore, the Train A would still be available to cool the main control room. The generic failure probability for a single train of safety-related equipment is approximately 3 x 10-2/demand. Exposure Period (EXP): Although the Train B CRAC system was placed in service without correcting the failure mechanism on November 1, 2010, the chiller continued to be utilized and run for much of the time until failure on December 13, 2010. The analyst noted that the chiller ran from November 12 until it failed on December 13, 2010. Therefore, the time that the chiller was actually unavailable to perform it's 24-hour risk significant mission time was about 48 hours5.555556e-4 days <br />0.0133 hours <br />7.936508e-5 weeks <br />1.8264e-5 months <br /> (the last 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> of its run and the 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> it took to repair). This gave an exposure time of 2 days.

Conditional Core Damage Probability (CCDP): In the worst case failure of control room air conditioning would result in main control room abandonment.

The generic CCDP for shutting the reactor down from outside the main control room is approximately 0.1. The analyst determined that a bounding assessment of the change in core damage LOOP

  • PCH-A
  • EXP
  • CCDP = 3.59 x 10-2/year
  • 3 x 10-2/demand
  • 2 days/365 days/year
  • 0.1 = 5.9 x 10-7 Based on the above bounding analysis, the analyst determined that the change in core damage frequency result was 5.9 x 10-7. This noncited violation was therefore determined to be of very low safety significance (Green). This finding had a crosscutting aspect in the area of problem identification and resolution associated with the corrective action program component because licensee personnel failed to thoroughly evaluate the multiple failures of the train B control room air conditioner compressor. P.1(c)
Enforcement.

Title 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion XVI, "Corrective Action," states, in part, that in the case of a significant condition adverse to quality, "measures shall assure that the cause of the condition is determined and corrective action taken to preclude repetition." Contrary to the above, plant personnel did not implement corrective actions to preclude repetition of a significant condition adverse to quality associated with the tripping of the train B control room air conditioning compressor due to low oil pressure. Specifically, on December 13, 2010, the train B control room air conditioner compressor tripped due to low oil pressure after the licensee had a performed a root cause analysis to identify the cause and prevent recurrence of the compressor tripping due to low oil pressure. Because the finding was of very low safety significance and has been entered into the corrective action program as Condition Report CR-GGN-2010-07315, this violation is being treated as a noncited violation, consistent with the NRC Enforcement Policy. NCV 05000416/2011002-05, "Failure to Prevent Recurrence of Control Room Air Conditioner Compressor Tripping Due to Low Oil Pressure."

.2 Steam Leak in the Containment

a. On November 8, 2010, the inspectors responded to the control room to observe operator response to a steam leak in containment. The newly installed mitigation monitoring system positive displacement pump ejected the cylinder causing an approximate seven gallons per minute reactor coolant leak. The inspectors observed operator actions, control room briefs and overall plant response to the event. The inspectors also Inspection Scope observed control room indications used to identify abnormal conditions in the containment building. Documents reviewed for this inspection are listed in the attachment.

b. Findings

Introduction.

The inspectors reviewed a self-revealing, Green finding of EN-DC-115, "Engineering Change Process," involving the failure to maintain adequate design control measures associated with the installation of the mitigation monitoring system.

Description.

On November 8, 2010, at approximately 5:30 am, a reactor coolant pressure boundary failure occurred at the skid mounted Online Noble Chemical - Mitigation Monitoring System pump inside primary containment. The positive displacement sample pump ejected the pump piston from the housing resulting in an approximate 7 gpm leak of reactor coolant. The leak was not detected for approximately 4.5 hours5.787037e-5 days <br />0.00139 hours <br />8.267196e-6 weeks <br />1.9025e-6 months <br />, resulting in the release of approximately 2,000 gallons of reactor coolant which flashed directly to steam. The steam leak resulted in a reactor recirculation system flow control valve lockup (due to HPU motor failure) and approximately 15,000 square feet of contaminated area in the primary containment structure. The inspectors reviewed the mitigation monitoring system modification documentation and found that the design documentation did not appropriately address the design requirements for the installation of the mitigation monitoring system pump. The licensee failed to ensure proper validation testing for the pump prior to installation in the plant.

Specifically, they did not ensure that the pump would be able to withstand the system operating pressures and temperatures in which it was installed. They failed to validate the design, which had a single point vulnerability, that resulted in the piston injecting from the pump and caused the leakage and contamination of the containment. In addition, the inspectors reviewed the root cause analysis of the event and found that the licensee failed to apply the appropriate oversight of the engineering vendor due to weaknesses in the procedure EN-DC-114, "Vendor Quality Management/Oversight." The licensee entered this event into their corrective actions program as condition report CR-GGN-2010-07852. The licensee has currently removed the mitigation monitoring system pump from the plant, and isolated the mitigation monitoring system skid from the reactor water cleanup system. They are evaluating the design to make appropriate changes to ensure a repeat of this event will not occur.

Analysis.

The failure to implement adequate design control measures for modifications to the plant, which impacted the reactor coolant pressure boundary, is a performance deficiency. Specifically procedure EN-DC-115, "Engineering Change Process," step 5.1[1], requires "during the engineering change development a choice of new technology or application is an error precursor which will need to have defensive functions built into the design, testing and maintenance, including developing in-house expertise." Contrary to this, the engineering change package that implemented this design change failed to ensure proper validation testing was performed prior to installation in the plant. The finding is more than minor because it affects the design control attribute of the Barrier Integrity Cornerstone to provide reasonable assurance that physical design barriers protect the public from radionuclide releases caused by accidents or events. Therefore, using inspection Manual Chapter 0609, "Significance Determination Process," Phase 1 Worksheet for LOCA initiators, the inspectors concluded that the finding was of very low safety significance (Green) because the failure of the mitigation monitoring system would not have exceeded technical specifications limits for identified leakage in the reactor coolant system. This finding has a crosscutting aspect in the area of human performance associated with the work practices component because the licensee failed to adequately oversee the design of the mitigation monitor system such that nuclear safety is supported. H.4(c)

Enforcement.

No violation of regulatory requirements occurred. This finding was entered into the licensee's corrective action program as CR-GGN-2010-07852, and is identified as: FIN 05000416/2011002-06, "Inadequate Design Control for the Mitigation Monitoring System Modification."

4OA5 Other Activities 1.

(Closed) Temporary Instruction (TI) 2515/179, "Verification of Licensee Responses to NRC Requirement for Inventories of Materials Tracked in the National Source Tracking System Pursuant to Title 10, Code of Federal Regulations, Part 20.2207 (10 CFR 20.2207)"

a. Inspection Scope

An NRC inspection was performed to confirm that the licensee has reported their initial inventories of sealed sources pursuant to 10 CFR 20.2207 and to verify that the National Source Tracking System database correctly reflects the Category 1 and 2 sealed sources in custody of the licensee. Inspectors interviewed personnel and performed the following: Reviewed the licensee's source inventory Verified the presence of any Category 1 or 2 sources Reviewed procedures for and evaluated the effectiveness of storage and handling of sources Reviewed documents involving transactions of sources Reviewed adequacy of licensee maintenance, posting, and labeling of nationally tracked sources

b. Findings

While comparing the National Source Tracking System database information, the Licensee's information submittal, and original source certificates, the inspector noted that the licensee erroneously reported information for one of the four sources meeting the reporting criteria. The licensee used original leak test data and submitted the wrong serial number and activity date for the source. The licensee reviewed all relevant data and submitted corrected documents within the five business days allowed by 10 CFR 20.2207(g). This finding was considered as an administrative error and of minor safety significance.

4OA6 Meetings Exit Meeting Summary On February 18, 2011, the inspectors presented the results of the radiation safety inspections to Mr. J. Browning, General Plant Manager, and other members of the licensee staff.

The licensee acknowledged the issues presented. The inspectors asked the licensee whether any materials examined during the inspection should be considered proprietary. No proprietary information was identified. On April 14, 2011, the inspectors presented the inspection results to M. Perito, Site Vice-President Operations and other members of the licensee staff. The licensee acknowledged the issues presented. The inspector asked the licensee whether any materials examined during the inspection should be considered proprietary. No proprietary information was identified.

4OA7 Licensee-Identified Violations The following violations of very low safety significance (Green) were identified by the licensee and are violations of NRC requirements which meet the criteria of Section 2.3

.2 of the NRC Enforcement Policy for being dispositioned as noncited violations.

.1 Technical Requirements Manual (TRM) section 6.2.1 requires that fire detection instrumentation for each fire detection zone shall be operable and if the required detection system is inoperable an hourly fire watch must be established.

Contrary to this, on February 9, 2011 the licensee identified that fire detection instrumentation for fire zone 2-12 had been left in the non-audible alarm for the main control room on the fire computer when the limiting condition for operations was cleared on December 8, 2010 when zone was returned to operable status. The control room supervisor on February 9, 2011, discovered this condition when entering a fire-limiting condition for operation for the division 1 diesel generator room to allow welding. The licensee determined that it had been in non-audible status from December 8, 2010, through February 9, 2011. This issue was documented in the licensee's corrective action program in condition report CR-GGN-2011-00851. The senior reactor analyst from region IV performed a bounding evaluation of the change in risk caused by this condition. According to the Grand Gulf Updated Final Safety Analysis Report, Fire Zone 2-12 only contains Division I equipment. A fire that consumed the equipment in the area could not result in a loss of offsite power or other unplanned transient. Given the ignition frequency of the area, the 60-day exposure period, and the conditional core damage probability with the loss of the Division I emergency diesel generator, the analyst calculated that the change in risk was significantly less than 1E-6. Therefore, this finding was of very low safety significance (Green).
