SUBJECT: INDIAN POINT NUCLEAR GENERATING UNIT 2 - NRC COMPONENT DESIGN BASES INSPECTION REPORT NO. 05000247/2009007

Dear Mr. Pollock:

On August 13, 2009, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed an inspection at Indian Point Nuclear Generating Unit 2. The enclosed integrated inspection report documents the inspection results, which were discussed on August 13, 2009, with Mr. Donald Mayer and other members of your staff.

The inspection 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.

In conducting the inspection, the team examined the adequacy of selected components and operator actions to mitigate postulated transients, initiating events, and design basis accidents.

The inspection involved field walkdowns, examination of selected procedures, calculations and records, and interviews with station personnel.

This report documents three NRC-identified findings which were of very low safety significance (Green). Two of these findings were determined to involve violations of NRC requirements.

However, because of the very low safety significance of the violations and because they were entered into your corrective action program, the NRC is treating the violations as non-cited violations (NCVs) consistent with Section VI.A.1 of the NRC Enforcement Policy. If you contest any NCV in this report, 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, Region 1; the Director, Office of Enforcement, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, D.C. 20555-0001; and the NRC Senior Resident Inspector at Indian Point Nuclear Generating Unit 2. In addition, if you disagree with the characterization of any finding in this report, you should provide a response within 30 days of the date of this inspection report, with the basis for your disagreement, to the Regional Administrator, Region I and the NRC Senior Resident Inspector at Indian Point Nuclear Generating Unit 2. In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 of the NRC's "Rules of Practice," a copy of this letter, its enclosure, and your response (if any) will be available electronically for the public inspection in the NRC Public Docket Room or from the Publicly Available Records component of NRC's document system (ADAMS). ADAMS is accessible from the NRC Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html (the Public Electronic Reading Room).

Sincerely,/RA/

SUMMARY OF FINDINGS

IR 05000247/2009007; 07/20/2009 - 08/13/2009; Indian Point Unit 2; Component Design

Bases Inspection.

The report covers the Component Design Bases Inspection (CDBI) conducted by a team of four NRC inspectors and two NRC contractors. Three findings of very low risk significance (Green)were identified. Two of these findings were also considered to be NCVs. The significance of most findings is indicated by their color (Green, White, Yellow, Red) using NRC Inspection Manual Chapter (IMC) 0609, "Significance Determination Process" (SDP). The cross-cutting aspects were determined using IMC 0305, "Operating Reactor Assessment Program." Findings for which the SDP 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 and Self-Revealing Findings

Cornerstone: Mitigating Systems

Green.

The team identified a finding of very low safety significance involving a non-cited violation of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion III, "Design Control," in that Entergy did not verify the adequacy of design because they did not evaluate the impact of the installed Amptector discriminator instantaneous trip feature on breaker coordination.

Following identification Entergy entered the issue into the corrective action program and performed an operability assessment and extent-of-condition review.

The finding was more than minor because it was associated with the design control attribute of the Mitigating Systems cornerstone objective of ensuring the availability, reliability, and capability of the 480Vac bus to respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences. Specifically, load center Bus 6A (and 2A, 3A and 5A) would be incapable of meeting the design basis function when required if the incoming line breaker to the load center bus were to trip due to lack of coordination for a fault on a non-Class 1E circuit during a design basis accident. The finding was determined to be of very low safety significance because the design deficiency was confirmed not to result in loss of operability or functionality.

This finding was not assigned a cross-cutting aspect because the underlying cause was not indicative of current performance. (Section 1R21.2.1.1)

Green.

The team identified a finding of very low safety significance involving a non-cited violation of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion III, "Design Control," in that Entergy did not to ensure that the component cooling water pump hydraulic performance test procedures had acceptance criteria which incorporated applicable design limits sufficient to ensure continued pump operability. Specifically, if the pump flow rate had degraded to the lower limit of the acceptance band, as listed in the test acceptance criteria, the pump would not have been able to meet the design basis flow requirements at the minimum acceptable differential pressure listed in the test procedure. In addition, the iii test acceptance criteria for design basis flow rate and differential pressure had no allowance for measurement uncertainty of the test instruments. In response to this deficiency, Entergy's short-term corrective actions included initiation of a corrective action condition report and completion of an operability determination for the affected equipment.

The finding was more than minor because it was associated with the design control attribute of the Mitigating Cornerstone and affected the cornerstone objective of ensuring the capability of systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences. Specifically, the test acceptance criteria did not ensure that the No. 23 component cooling water pump remained capable of performing its safety function under design basis conditions. The finding had very low safety significance because it was not a design or qualification deficiency, did not represent a loss of system safety function, did not represent an actual loss of safety function of a single train, and did not screen as potentially risk significant due to a seismic, flooding, or severe weather initiating event.

This finding has a cross-cutting aspect in the area of Problem Identification and Resolution, Corrective Action Program Component, because Entergy's initial operability review, issue prioritization, and subsequent evaluation did not adequately assess actual pump performance.

[P.1 (c)] (Section 1R21.2.1.2)

Green.

The team identified a finding of very low safety significance because Entergy did not identify or evaluate material deficiencies of the city water system, as required by EN-LI-102, "Corrective Action Process." Specifically, Entergy did not identify or evaluate several degraded pipe supports on city water system piping in the utility tunnel, which represented reasonable doubt on system operability. The city water system provides a backup water supply for the condensate storage tank, fire fighting water supply, and provides alternate cooling to selected safety-related and risk significant pumps. The finding was not a violation because the city water piping, in the utility tunnel, is not safety-related, and the utility tunnel is not a safety-related or seismic structure. Entergy entered this issue into the corrective action program, assessed operability and extent-of-condition, and repaired one of the non-functioning pipe supports to restore additional margin. The finding was more than minor because, if left uncorrected, the performance deficiency would have the potential to lead to a more significant safety concern.

Specifically, the piping system could have potentially collapsed if additional pipe supports became degraded. The team determined the finding was of very low safety significance because it was not a design or qualification deficiency, did not represent of an actual loss of safety function of a single train, and did not screen as potentially risk significant due to a seismic, flooding, or severe weather initiating event.

iv

This finding had a cross-cutting aspect in the area of Problem Identification and Resolution, Corrective Action Program Component, because Entergy did not adequately implement the corrective action program with a low threshold for identifying issues.

P.1(a) (Section 1R21.2.2.1)

B. Licensee-Identified Violations

None.

Cornerstones: Initiating Events, Mitigating Systems, and Barrier Integrity

1R21 Component Design Bases Inspection (IP 71111.21)

.1 Inspection Sample Selection Process

The team selected risk significant components and operator actions for review using information contained in the Indian Point Unit 2 Probabilistic Safety Assessment (PSA)and the NRC's Standardized Plant Analysis Risk (SPAR) model for Indian Point Unit 2.

Additionally, the team referenced the Risk-Informed Inspection Notebook for Indian Point Unit 2 (Revision 2.1a) in the selection of potential components and operator actions for review. In general, the selection process focused on components and operator actions that had a Risk Achievement Worth (RAW) factor greater than 1.3 or a Risk Reduction Worth (RRW) factor greater than 1.005. The components selected were located within both safety related and non-safety related systems, and included a variety of components such as pumps, breakers, ventilation fans, transformers, and valves.

The team initially compiled a list of components and operator actions based on the risk factors previously mentioned. Additionally, the team reviewed the previous CDBI report (05000247/2007007) and excluded the majority of those components previously inspected. The team then performed a margin assessment to narrow the focus of the inspection to 16 components, 5 operator actions and 6 operating experience (OE) items.

The team's evaluation of possible low design margin included consideration of original design issues, margin reductions due to modifications, or margin reductions identified as a result of material condition/equipment reliability issues. The assessment also included items such as failed performance test results, corrective action history, repeated maintenance, Maintenance Rule (MR) (a)(1) status, operability reviews for degraded conditions, NRC resident inspector insights, system health reports, and industry OE.

Finally, consideration was also given to the uniqueness and complexity of the design and the available defense-in-depth margins. The margin review of operator actions included complexity of the action, time to complete the action, and extent-of-training on the action.

The inspection performed by the team was conducted as outlined in NRC Inspection Procedure (IP) 71111.21. This inspection effort included walkdowns of selected components, interviews with operators, system engineers and design engineers, and reviews of associated design documents and calculations to assess the adequacy of the components to meet design basis, licensing basis, and risk-informed beyond design basis requirements. Summaries of the reviews performed for each component, operator action, OE sample, and the specific inspection findings identified are discussed in the subsequent sections of this report. Documents reviewed for this inspection are listed in the Attachment.

.2 Results of Detailed Reviews

.2.1 Detailed Component and System Reviews (16 samples)

.2.1.1 Diesel Building Ventilation Fans 318 and 323

a. Inspection Scope

Motor control center (MCC) 26B supplies power to diesel building ventilation fans 318 and 323. The team reviewed the MCC 26B one-line and fan motor schematic diagrams to ensure the ventilation fans functioned as designed. The team also reviewed the coordination/protection calculation for load center Bus 6A incoming line and MCC 26B feeder breaker Amptector trip settings for design basis load flow conditions and protective device coordination. The team walked down MCC 26B, the fan motor controllers, and 480Vac Bus 6A to assess the observable material condition. The team reviewed the fan motor feeder cable sizing and calculated voltage available during design basis conditions for adequacy. The load center breakers were field inspected for conformance with design basis requirements for the type of Amptector trip unit installed.

In particular, LSG (long, short, & ground) type breakers potentially had Amptector discriminator trip units installed, whereas LSIG (long, short, instantaneous, & ground)type breakers did not. The team reviewed corrective action condition reports (CRs) and corrective maintenance history to identify potential recurring issues affecting reliability.

The team also reviewed surveillance testing on Amptector trip units for adequacy of results in accordance with design basis setting requirements.

b. Findings

Introduction.

The team identified a finding of very low safety significance (Green) involving a NCV of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion III, "Design Control," in that Entergy did not verify the adequacy of design because they did not evaluate the impact of the installed LSG trip unit discriminator feature on breaker coordination.

Description.

During an inspection of 480Vac Bus 6A to independently assess Entergy design control (rating and use of LSG or LSIG type breakers), the team identified that Amptector discriminator instantaneous trips existed on the incoming line, emergency diesel generator (EDG) and bus cross-tie breaker. The team also determined that Entergy had not evaluated the discriminator circuit function in the breaker coordination study. Subsequently, during their extent-of-condition review, Entergy determined that type LSG trip units in load center Buses 5A, 2A and 3A were also affected. Entergy initiated CR-IP2-2009-3065 to evaluate the Amptector type LSG trip units without the discriminator defeated.

The Amptector discriminator circuit functions to provide an instantaneous breaker trip unless a minimum threshold current is exceeded prior to an overload condition (fault).

The breaker coordination study, Calculation FEX-00141-01, "IP2 Amptector Setting Verification, Sensor and Tolerances," specified that there are no instantaneous trips for the safety-related load center incoming line, EDG and bus-tie breakers, which would allow for their coordination with downstream non-Class 1E breakers during fault conditions. The breaker coordination analysis that demonstrates the adequacy of protection is required to satisfy Entergy Standard EEN-EE-S-010-IP2, "Electrical Separation Design Criteria," Section 5.10.5, Electrical Isolation Criteria, which includes demonstration that operation of Class 1E circuits, are not degraded below an acceptable level due to shorts or faults on the non-Class 1E side.

The team noted that the Amptector discriminator circuit could potentially cause the instantaneous trip of the 480Vac load center bus incoming line breaker during a postulated design basis accident, due to a fault on a non-Class 1E circuit, and result in the loss of the load center. The team concluded that the electrical isolation provided for the postulated fault condition, with the subject load center breaker Amptector discriminator function not being disabled, did not satisfy the requirements of Engineering Standard EEN-EE-S-010-IP2, "Electrical Separation Design Criteria," for electrical isolation of non-Class 1E circuits. Entergy performed an operability evaluation that determined that there was sufficient Class 1E load during all design basis operating conditions that served to disable the load center bus incoming line breaker Amptector discriminator circuit function (instantaneous trip) by exceeding the discriminator's minimum threshold current. However, the team also found that the minimum threshold current setpoint calibration had not been verified by Entergy during surveillance testing.

Nonetheless, the team concluded there was sufficient Class 1E load current available, well in excess of the manufacturer's rated tolerance of the electrical defeat setpoint for the Amptector trip units, to provide reasonable assurance that the discriminator circuit would be electrically defeated.

Analysis.

The team determined that Entergy's failure to verify the adequacy of design of the installed LSG type breakers as required by Engineering Standard EEN-EE-S-010-IP2 was a performance deficiency that was reasonably within Entergy's ability to foresee and prevent prior to July 2009. The team noted that Entergy had a previous opportunity to identify this issue. Specifically, Entergy's internal review of NRC Information Notice (IN)92-29, "Potential Breaker Miscoordination Caused By Instantaneous Trip Circuitry,"

represented a missed opportunity to evaluate this condition in 1992. On June 5, 1992, engineering had reviewed IN 92-29 and incorrectly concluded that only LSIG trip devices were installed at Unit 2.

The finding was more than minor because it was associated with the design control attribute of the Mitigating Systems cornerstone objective of ensuring the availability, reliability, and capability of the 480Vac bus to respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences. Specifically, load center Bus 6A (and 2A, 3A and 5A) would be incapable of meeting the design basis function when required if the incoming line breaker to the load center bus were to trip due to lack of coordination for a fault on a non-Class 1E circuit during a design basis accident. The team performed a Phase 1 SDP screening, in accordance with NRC IMC 0609, Attachment 4, "Phase 1 - Initial Screening and Characterization of Findings," and determined the finding was of very low safety significance (Green) because the design deficiency was confirmed not to result in loss of operability or functionality.

This finding was not assigned a cross-cutting aspect because the underlying cause was not indicative of current performance. Specifically, the team did not identify any LSG breaker performance issues, Amptector calibrations, or associated engineering evaluations within the last several years that would have caused Entergy to re-revisit their response to NRC IN 92-29.

Enforcement.

Title 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion III, "Design Control," requires, in part, that design control measures shall provide for verifying or checking the adequacy of design, such as by the performance of design reviews, by the use of alternate or simplified calculational methods, or by the performance of a suitable testing program.

Contrary to the above, from June 5, 1992, until August 6, 2009, Entergy did not verify the adequacy of the design for protective device coordination regarding breakers configured with Amptector discriminator instantaneous trip circuits. Specifically, the load center Bus 6A incoming line breaker discriminator unit was neither defeated with an installed jumper nor were the conditions that were required to electrically defeat the circuit evaluated to ensure breaker coordination with non-Class 1E circuits. However, because this violation was of very low safety significance, and since it was entered in Entergy's corrective action program (CAP) as CR-IP2-2009-3065 this violation is being treated as an NCV, consistent with Section VI.A.1 of the NRC Enforcement Policy. (NCV 05000247/2009007-01, Failure to Evaluate the Impact on Breaker Coordination for the Westinghouse Amptector Type LSG Trip Unit Discriminator Feature)

.2.1.2 No. 23 Component Cooling Water Pump

a. Inspection Scope

The team reviewed design documents, including drawings, calculations, procedures, and the design basis document (DBD) to determine the design requirements for No. 23 component cooling water (CCW) pump. The team reviewed hydraulic analyses to verify adequacy of net positive suction head (NPSH) and verify adequacy of surveillance test acceptance criteria for pump minimum discharge pressure at the required flow rate. The team reviewed in-service test (IST) results to verify acceptance criteria were met and any potential performance degradation was identified. In addition, the team reviewed Entergy's response and actions related to NRC Bulletin 88-04, "Potential Safety-Related Pump Loss," to assess implementation of OE related to pump minimum flow requirements, and pump-to-pump interaction. The team also reviewed electrical calculations, drawings, and pump brake horsepower requirements to determine if the motor capacity was adequate for the loading requirements. The team reviewed motor breaker Amptector settings, motor feeder cable ampacity and cable short circuit current capability to determine whether appropriate electrical protection coordination margins had been applied and whether the feeder cable had been properly sized for the maximum loading and short circuit current capability requirements.

The team performed a walkdown of the CCW pump area to assess the material condition of the pump and motor driver. The team reviewed preventive and corrective maintenance records to ensure that Entergy properly maintained the CCW pump. The team also reviewed corrective action documents to ensure that Entergy identified and corrected deficiencies associated with the CCW pump at an appropriate threshold.

b. Findings

Introduction.

The team identified a finding of very low safety significance (Green) involving a NCV of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion III, "Design Control," in that Entergy did not ensure the CCW pump hydraulic performance test procedures had acceptance criteria which incorporated the applicable design limits sufficient to ensure continued pump operability.

Description.

During a self-assessment in March 2009, Entergy identified an IST pump test acceptance criteria deficiency (CR 2009-0868). Specifically, Entergy identified that they had not appropriately incorporated instrument uncertainty into test acceptance criteria. For the CCW pumps, Entergy determined that they remained operable based on the available margin as indicated by their January 2009 IST for each of the respective CCW pumps. On April 1, Entergy expanded corrective actions to include detailed reviews to determine whether pump tests adequately incorporated design bases analytical limits. The team noted that Entergy's evaluation was still in-progress, with a due date of mid-September 2009.

At Indian Point 2, design basis hydraulic performance of the CCW pumps is verified by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)Section XI in-service testing program. The team noted that the minimum CCW pump flow rate and differential pressure requirements were developed in Westinghouse Report No. WCAP-12312, "Safety Evaluation for an Ultimate Heat Sink Temperature of 95 ºF at Indian Point Unit 2," Revision 2, January 2004. The minimum performance criterion for the CCW pumps was determined to be 3500 gpm at 215.8 feet of total developed head (TDH). The team reviewed CCW pump IST procedure 2-PT-Q030C, "23 Component Cooling Water Pump," Revision 18, and noted that the acceptance criterion for pump flow rate was in the range of 3430 to 3500 gpm at a TDH of 215.8 ft. The team concluded that the lower limit for acceptance criterion of 3430 gpm for flow rate at 215.8 TDH was less than, and therefore, non-conservative when compared to the minimum analysis value for pump flow rate of 3500 gpm determined in Westinghouse WCAP No. 12312 at a TDH of 215.8 feet. The team also noted that procedure Step 4.5.1.2, which calculated pump discharge pressure, had a value of 1.5 psi added to the recorded discharge pressure.

Entergy engineering personnel stated that this value was added to the discharge pressure to account for a check valve between the pump discharge and gauge pressure measuring tap, and that it was verified by field measurement. The team determined that this was not a valid number to be added to the discharge pressure because the field measurement did not account for the gauge elevation difference between the pump outlet gauge and the gauge used at the pressure tap. Using the formula for pressure drop through a check valve, the team independently determined that a more appropriate correction would be about 1.5 feet instead of 1.5 psi. Additionally, there was no allowance for instrument measurement uncertainty in the test acceptance criteria. As a result, the team concluded that the analytical value for the pump acceptance criteria was non-conservative by 70 gpm in flow rate, and about 2 feet TDH, without accounting for instrument uncertainty.

Based on these non-conservative values in the CCW pump IST acceptance criteria, the team questioned the operability of the No. 23 CCW pump because Entergy's April 16, 2009, IST recorded a CCW pump flow rate of 3460 gpm at 216.0 feet TDH (compared to the design limit of 3500 gpm at 215.8 feet TDH). Using the more appropriate correction factor on discharge pressure measurement, the recorded TDH should have been 214.0 feet. The inspectors plotted the data from the IST results on the design basis pump curve, and determined that the pump did not meet the minimum hydraulic performance requirements contained in WCAP No. 12312 during the April 2009 performance test. The team concluded that the No. 23 CCW pump actually had negative margin once appropriate and conservative values for design analytical limits and instrument uncertainty were factored in. Based on the team's assessment, the data indicated that the pump actually failed the test by about 6 feet of TDH at a corrected flow rate of 3500 gpm. The team noted that Entergy had noted the "low margin" during the April 2009 IST and entered the concern into their Margin Management Database; however, they did not assess the pump for continued operability, especially considering that they had lost all of the margin from the January 2009 IST that had formed the basis of their previous operability determination.

The team also noted that Entergy performed the No. 23 CCW pump IST again in July 2009 without updating the IST procedure and without performing an engineering evaluation to bound the condition to ensure that they adequately maintained the design bases. The team noted that the pump appeared to have more margin based on the July IST. Subsequently, Entergy provided an evaluation based on the July IST (considering instrument uncertainty and design bases analytical limits) that showed that the pump was operable as of July 09, 2009. The team agreed that there was more margin in the July test results which indicated that the pump met its design bases requirements for flow rate and TDH. In response to the team's concerns and identified deficiencies, Entergy initiated CR 2009-3807. Entergy's additional short-term planned corrective actions included performing an apparent cause evaluation and revising the CCW IST procedure to include appropriate analytical limits and instrument uncertainty values prior to the next scheduled IST.

The team noted that Entergy had missed several opportunities to identify and correct this IST shortcoming based on related issues within their CAP. Specifically, in 2006, CR IP2-2006-06511 identified concerns where instrument uncertainty was not considered in pump test acceptance criteria, and assigned an action to system and design engineering to "develop new acceptance criteria to account for instrument inaccuracy where needed." However, engineering did not complete the recommended actions from this 2006 CR. In 2007, the NRC identified a similar issue involving non-conservative analytical limits during the Indian Point Unit 3 CDBI (NCV 05000286/2007006-03, Non-Conservative Calculation for TDAFW Pump Discharge Pressure Used for Surveillance Testing). Entergy had performed an extent-of-condition review for Unit 2, but only reviewed the test acceptance criteria of the Unit 2 turbine driven auxiliary feedwater (TDAFW) pump.

Analysis.

The team determined that Entergy's failure to ensure that the CCW pump hydraulic performance test procedures had acceptance criteria that incorporated the limits from applicable design documents was a performance deficiency that was reasonably within Entergy's ability to foresee and prevent prior to July 2009. The team noted that Entergy had missed several opportunities to identify and correct this deficiency dating back to 2006. In addition, following identification in March 2009, Entergy did not adequately prioritize and evaluate the condition to ensure continued CCW pump operability.

The team determined that the performance deficiency was similar to NRC IMC 0612, Appendix E, "Examples of Minor Issues," Example 3.j, in that the deficient hydraulic test acceptance criteria resulted in a condition where there was a reasonable doubt with respect to operability of the CCW pump. The finding was more than minor because it was associated with the design control attribute of the Mitigating Systems cornerstone objective of ensuring the availability, reliability, and capability of the CCW pump to respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences. Specifically, the test acceptance criterion used did not ensure that the No. 23 CCW pump remained capable of performing its safety function under design bases conditions. The team performed a Phase 1 SDP screening, in accordance with NRC IMC 0609, Attachment 4, "Phase 1 -

Initial Screening and Characterization of Findings," and determined the finding was of very low safety significance (Green) because it was not a design or qualification deficiency, did not represent a loss of system safety function, did not represent an actual loss of safety function of a single train, and did not screen as potentially risk significant due to a seismic, flooding, or severe weather initiating event. The team concluded that there was no loss of CCW safety function based on

(1) Entergy's reasonable determination of continued operability based on the July IST results,
(2) no significant corrective maintenance performed on No. 23 CCW pump between the January and July ISTs, and
(3) review of the river water temperature trend for 2009 (a maximum river water temperature of 78 ºF was recorded in July).

This finding had a cross-cutting aspect in the area of Problem Identification and Resolution, Corrective Action Program Component, because Entergy's initial operability review, issue prioritization, and subsequent evaluation failed to adequately assess actual pump performance. Specifically, on March 5, 2009, Entergy identified pump testing deficiencies related to instrument uncertainty, and subsequently identified that No. 23 CCW pump had low margin, but did not adequately prioritize and evaluate the No. 23 CCW pump's performance with respect to its required design bases to ensure continued operability during 2009. (IMC 0305, aspect P.1(c))

Enforcement.

Title 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion III, "Design Control," requires, in part, that measures shall be established to assure that applicable regulatory requirements and the design basis are correctly translated into specifications, drawings, procedures, and instructions. Contrary to the above, from January 2004 until August 10, 2009, Entergy did not ensure that the CCW design basis for pump hydraulic performance was correctly translated into the CCW IST procedures. Specifically, Entergy did not include the appropriate analytical limits and instrument uncertainties in the development of the hydraulic performance test acceptance criteria of 3500 gpm at 215.8 feet TDH for the demonstration of operability of the CCW pumps. However, because this violation was of very low safety significance, and since it was entered in Entergy's CAP as CR-IP2-2009-3087 this violation is being treated as an NCV, consistent with Section VI.A.1 of the NRC Enforcement Policy. (NCV 05000247/2009007-02, Failure to Ensure That the CCW Pump Hydraulic Performance Test Procedures Had Acceptance Criteria That Incorporated the Limits from Applicable Design Documents)

.2.1.3 Steam Admission Valve to the Turbine Driven Auxiliary Feedwater Pump (PCV-1139)

a. Inspection Scope

The team inspected air-operated valve (AOV) PCV-1139 to verify its ability to meet the design basis requirements in response to transient and accident events as described in the Updated Final Safety Analysis Report (UFSAR), DBD, and Technical Specifications (TSs). The team verified that instrument setpoints were properly translated into system procedures and tests, and reviewed diagnostic test results and stroke test documentation to verify acceptance criteria were met. The team reviewed drawings, component calculations, and system calculations to verify that calculation inputs and assumptions were accurate and justified. The team reviewed the maintenance and functional history of valve PCV-1139 by sampling CRs, the system health report, and local maintenance procedures to verify that deficiencies were appropriately identified and resolved, and that the valve was properly maintained. The team reviewed the backup nitrogen supply system for PCV-1139 to determine if design assumptions were supported by procedural operation of the system. The team interviewed the AOV program and system engineers to gain an understanding of maintenance issues and overall reliability of the valve. The team also conducted several detailed walkdowns to assess the material condition of the valve and its support systems, and to ensure adequate configuration control.

b. Findings

No findings of significance were identified.

.2.1.4 Engineered Safeguards Features Actuation System

a. Inspection Scope

The team inspected the engineered safeguards features actuation system (ESFAS) to verify its ability to meet design basis requirements during plant transients and accidents. The ESFAS processes inputs from plant instrumentation and control systems using a relay based logic network to actuate controlled components (pumps, valves, fans, etc.) when the design logic for a particular ESF is satisfied. The team reviewed design calculations, drawings, plant procedures and completed surveillance tests to ensure that the system was designed, operated, and tested in accordance with design and licensing bases documents that included the ESFAS DBD, the PSA, the UFSAR and TSs. The team performed walkdowns to assess the material condition of accessible portions of the system and Entergy's configuration control. The team reviewed a sample of maintenance work orders, CRs and system health reports to assess system performance and to ensure that Entergy identified and corrected deficiencies at an appropriate threshold. The team also discussed the design documentation and maintenance history of the ESFAS with the responsible design and system engineers.

b. Findings

No findings of significance were identified.

following Loss of Component Cooling Water

a. Inspection Scope

The team evaluated manual operator actions to align city water backup cooling to the safety injection (SI) and RHR pumps, following a loss of CCW event, to verify operator actions were consistent with design and licensing bases. Specifically, operator critical tasks included:

  • Install temporary hoses
  • Align CCW, primary water, and city water valves The team interviewed licensed and non-licensed operators, reviewed associated operating procedures and operator training, observed an in-field operator job performance measure (JPM) to install temporary hoses and align local CCW, primary water, and city water valves, and independently inventoried pre-staged equipment and tools, to evaluate the operators' ability to perform the required actions. In addition, the team walked down local piping and valves associated with the critical tasks to assess the likelihood of cognitive or execution errors. The team evaluated the available time margins to perform the actions to verify the reasonableness of Entergy's operating procedures and risk assumptions. The team also reviewed equipment deficiency reports, and performed infield observations, to assess the material condition of the associated piping, valves, and support systems.

In addition, the team walked down selected accessible portions of the city water system to independently assess Entergy's configuration control and the system's material condition. The walkdowns included the city water storage tank; an above ground inspection from the city water tank to the utility tunnel entrance to check for evidence of underground pipe leakage; the utility tunnel; and the AFW, RHR, SI, and charging pump rooms.

b. Findings

Introduction.

The team identified a finding of very low safety significance (Green) because Entergy did not identify or evaluate material deficiencies of the city water system, as required by EN-LI-102, "Corrective Action Process." The finding was not a violation because the city water piping, in the utility tunnel, is not safety-related, and the utility tunnel is not a safety-related or seismic structure.

Description.

City water piping is routed underground from the city water storage tank to the utility tunnel, at the air monitoring house. The utility tunnel runs underground from the air monitoring house to the screen well house. At various locations throughout the tunnel, city water branch lines come off of the city water header pipe, to provide a backup water supply for several safety-related or risk significant components. The city water system is credited to mitigate the consequences of a plant fire (fire safe shutdown analysis) and a station blackout (SBO) event. The city water system also provides a backup water supply for the CST and fire fighting water supply, and provides alternate cooling to selected safety-related and risk significant pumps. The city water system is required to be operable in accordance with TRM 3.7.E.

During a utility tunnel walkdown on July 23, 2009, the team identified a degraded pipe support on the city water header pipe. Entergy entered this issue into their CAP as CR 2009-2850, performed an extent-of-condition walkdown and a prompt operability assessment. Subsequently, Entergy identified several additional degraded supports on the city water pipe. Entergy determined that the city water system remained operable because the greatest unsupported span was not more than 22 feet. American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) B31.1, "Power Piping," recommended that the maximum unsupported span not exceed 27 feet, for this size water service piping.

On August 4, 2009, the team performed an additional utility tunnel walkdown to independently assess Entergy's evaluation and extent-of-condition review. The team identified several additional degraded pipe supports on the city water header pipe, one of which caused the original unsupported span to increase from 22 feet to 38 feet in one section of the piping. Entergy entered this issue into their CAP as CR 2009-3046, performed an extent-of-condition walkdown and a prompt engineering analysis. Entergy concluded that although the available pipe stress margin was reduced, the city water system remained operable because the pipe stress was less than the ASME B31.1 allowable stress for the pipe. The team noted that Entergy used conservative assumptions in their analysis and concluded that the Entergy's assessment was reasonable. In addition, the team determined that the city water system was properly scoped in Entergy's MR program and the degraded supports would not have required a MR (a)(1) monitoring plan.

Subsequently, work order 00171798 repaired one of the degraded pipe supports to reduce the unsupported span to 22 feet, thereby increasing the margin of the pipe support system. CR 2009-2850, corrective action CA-2, required a follow-up engineering analysis with a formal calculation. Entergy planned additional long-term corrective actions under their existing and on-going utility tunnel refurbishment plan.

Analysis.

The team determined that the failure to identify or evaluate material deficiencies of the city water system was a performance deficiency that was reasonably within Entergy's ability to foresee and prevent prior to July 2009. Specifically, Entergy did not identify or evaluate several degraded pipe supports on the city water header pipe in the utility tunnel, as required by EN-LI-102, "Corrective Action Process." As a result, the degraded supports represented reasonable doubt on the operability of the city water system. The finding was more than minor because, if left uncorrected, the performance deficiency would have the potential to lead to a more significant safety concern.

Specifically, this risk significant piping system could have potentially collapsed if additional pipe supports became degraded. The team performed a Phase 1 SDP screening, in accordance with NRC IMC 0609, Attachment 4, "Phase 1 - Initial Screening and Characterization of Findings," and determined the finding was of very low safety significance (Green) because it was not a design or qualification deficiency, did not represent a loss of system safety function, did not represent an actual loss of safety function of a single train, and did not screen as potentially risk significant due to a seismic, flooding, or severe weather initiating event.

This finding had a cross-cutting aspect in the area of Problem Identification and Resolution, Corrective Action Program Component, because Entergy did not adequately implement the CAP with a low threshold for identifying issues. Specifically, Entergy personnel performed frequent activities in the utility tunnel within the last two years, but did not identify the degraded supports and did not initiate a corrective action CR, as required by EN-LI-102, "Corrective Action Process." (IMC 0305, aspect P.1(a))

Enforcement.

Enforcement action does not apply because the performance deficiency did not involve a violation of a regulatory requirement. Entergy entered this issue into their CAP as CR IP2-2009-2850 and 3046. Because this finding does not involve a violation of regulatory requirements and has very low safety significance, it is identified as FIN 05000247/2009007-03. (FIN 050000247/2009007-03, Failure to Identify Several Degraded City Water System Pipe Supports in the Utility Tunnel)
