INSPECTION RESULTS
Fuel Oil Filtration Renders Emergency Diesel Generator Inoperable Cornerstone Significance Cross-cutting Report Aspect Section Mitigating Green None 71153 Systems NCV 05000483/2018004-01 Follow-up of Closed Events and Notices of Enforcement Discretion The inspectors identified a Green, non-cited violation of Technical Specification 3.8.1, AC Sources - Operating, for the licensees failure to take required actions for an inoperable emergency diesel generator. Specifically, the licensee connected a non-safety, commercial-grade filtration skid to the emergency diesel generator fuel oil storage tank on two occasions for a maintenance activity. Each of these two occasions rendered the diesel generator inoperable due to the non-seismically qualified flow path and exposure to postulated tornado missiles. The duration of each period of inoperability exceeded the required actions and associated completion times to shutdown to Mode 3.
Description:
On August 20, 2018, the licensee started job 16503286 to filter the train B emergency diesel generator fuel oil storage tank. This periodic maintenance task is performed on a 24-month frequency with the goal of ensuring the fuel oil is maintained at a high quality level.
Procedure OTS-JE-00002, Filtration of Emergency D/G Fuel Oil, Revision 11, directs the use of a temporary filtration system. This non-safety, commercial-grade filtration skid was placed near the fuel oil storage tanks on ground elevation. The suction pathway required removal of a metal plug which sits above the buried fuel oil storage tank. After filtering the fuel oil, the diesel fuel is returned to the storage tank via connection on the side of the diesel building to complete the process loop. This temporary filtration skid is run for a minimum of 80 hours9.259259e-4 days <br />0.0222 hours <br />1.322751e-4 weeks <br />3.044e-5 months <br />. Per Procedure OTS-JE-00002, the emergency diesel generator and associated fuel oil system remain operable during the evolution.
On August 24, 2018, the inspectors toured the station and questioned this filtration activity.
The inspectors noted there was no barrier impairment in place for the removal of the metal plug above the fuel oil storage tank that appeared to serve as a tornado missile shield.
Further, the inspectors questioned the operability of the emergency diesel generator and fuel oil systems since they were connected to a non-safety, non-seismic temporary system. The inspectors noted there was no operator stationed at the filtration skid and no procedural reference to timeliness of response to isolate a leak for a design-basis earthquake. Step 3.10 of Procedure OTS-JE-00002 instead stations a security officer at the system stating, If the filtration unit develops a leak, security should contact the control room. The licensee completed the filtration activity shortly after the questions were raised and generated Condition Report 201804251 to resolve the NRCs questions.
The inspectors interviewed personnel regarding the process to filter fuel oil, reviewed the history of the filtration procedures, and reviewed recently completed jobs for fuel oil filtration.
The inspectors concluded that the emergency diesel generator was inoperable during the fuel oil filtration activity for two reasons.
First, the emergency diesel generator fuel oil system is described in Section 9.5.4 of the final safety analysis report as subject to General Design Criterion (GDC) 2 requiring that the systems withstand the effects of natural phenomena such as earthquakes. By connecting a non-safety, non-seismic temporary filtration system, the safety-related and seismically-qualified emergency diesel generator fuel oil system was now vulnerable to earthquakes. Specifically, the non-seismic hoses could fail and cause a loss of fuel oil. This loss of fuel oil had not been appropriately quantified or analyzed including operator response timeliness to maintain operability. Without adequate fuel oil, the emergency diesel generator would not be able to perform its specified safety function.
Second, the metal hatch above the fuel oil storage tank was designed to serve as a tornado missile shield. By removing this protection without implementing administrative controls per Procedure APA-ZZ-00750, Hazard Barrier Program, Revision 41, the licensee was not appropriately validating and monitoring the appropriate weather conditions to remove the hatch. As a result, fuel oil storage tank components beneath the missile shield were now exposed to tornado-borne hazards that could render the fuel oil system unable to perform its specified safety function. Without adequate fuel oil, the emergency diesel generator would not be able to perform its specified safety function.
The inspectors determined the emergency diesel generator was inoperable from August 20-24, 2018. The licensee, in parallel, determined the fuel oil filtration evolution rendered train B emergency diesel generator inoperable and documented the issue in Licensee Event Report 2018-004-00, Violation of TS 3.8.1 AC Sources - Operating, as a violation of technical specifications.
As part of the cause evaluation, the licensee determined an additional violation of technical specifications occurred from February 29 through March 4, 2016, during a similar fuel oil filtration activity at that time on the train B emergency diesel generator fuel oil storage tank.
No violations of technical specifications associated with the train A emergency diesel generator were identified.
Although Procedure OTS-JE-00002 allowed both the connection of a non-seismic system to the safety-related fuel oil storage system and the removal of a tornado missile shield without administrative controls, the inspectors concluded that the licensee had codified this incorrect information into the procedure. The inspectors noted that the last significant review of Procedure OTS-JE-00002 occurred in 1999 and incorrectly concluded that continuous manning of the filtration skid by security did not require further evaluation for operator actions.
The inspectors concluded that this error was not reflective of current performance.
The inspectors concluded the licensee failed to take required actions for an inoperable emergency diesel generator. Specifically, the licensee connected a non-safety, commercial-grade filtration skid to the emergency diesel generator fuel oil storage tank on two occasions. Each activity rendered the diesel generator inoperable due to the non-seismically qualified flow path and exposure to postulated tornado missiles. The duration of each period of inoperability exceeded the required actions and associated completion times to shutdown to Mode 3. The two occasions of identified inoperability were from February 29 to March 4, 2016, and from August 20-24, 2018.
Corrective Actions: The licensee initiated condition reports and prohibited further fuel oil filtration activity pending corrective actions.
Corrective Action References: Condition Reports 201804251 and 201804276.
Performance Assessment:
Performance Deficiency: The failure to take required actions for an inoperable emergency diesel generator was a performance deficiency.
Screening: The inspectors determined the performance deficiency was more than minor, and therefore a finding, because it adversely affected the configuration control attribute of the Mitigating Systems Cornerstone objective of ensuring the availability, reliability, and capability of systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences (i.e. core damage). Specifically, the licensee connected a non-safety, commercial-grade filtration skid to the emergency diesel generator fuel oil storage tank on two occasions for a maintenance activity. Each of these two occasions rendered the diesel generator inoperable due to the non-seismically qualified flow path and exposure to postulated tornado missiles. The duration of each period of inoperability exceeded the required actions and associated completion times to shutdown to Mode 3.
Significance: The inspectors screened this finding utilizing Inspection Manual Chapter 0609, 4, Initial Characterization of Findings, and Appendix A, The Significance Determination Process (SDP) for Findings At-Power, Exhibit 2, Mitigating Systems Screening Questions, and Exhibit 4, External Events Screening Questions, dated June 19, 2012. The inspectors determined that the finding required a detailed risk evaluation because the finding involved the loss or degradation of equipment that was specifically designed to mitigate a seismic or severe weather initiating event, and if this equipment were assumed to be completely failed, the loss of this function, by itself, would degrade one or more trains of a system that supports a risk significant system or function during these external initiating events. Specifically, as reported in Licensee Event Report 2018-004-00, Violation of TS 3.8.1 AC Sources - Operating, the train B emergency diesel generator would have been unable to perform its intended function following a seismic event or strike by a tornado-generated missile when the fuel oil system was connected to the fuel oil filtration skid on two occasions.
The senior reactor analyst performed a bounding risk evaluation for the performance deficiency and determined that the finding was of very low safety significance (Green). The analyst assumed that the only vulnerabilities to the fuel transfer system were seismic events or tornado-generated missiles. The following two bounding analyses were performed:
High Winds:
The risk increase from external events related to wind that could result in a non-recoverable loss of offsite power had more than a negligible impact. A Category EF2 or greater tornado could result in loss of the offsite power lines that would not be quickly repairable. The analyst obtained the frequency of a Category EF2 tornado occurring onsite using the data developed by the Office of Nuclear Reactor Research utilizing the methodology from NUREG/CR-4461, Tornado Climatology of the Contiguous United States, Revision 2.
The analyst used the frequency for high winds represented by an EF2 Tornado (TIFEF2) from data developed by the Office of Nuclear Reactor Research. For the Callaway Plant, this frequency was 7.22 x 10-5/year. Over the maximum 106-hour exposure period, the probability of a Category EF2 tornado touching down at the site was 8.74 x 10-7. Using the methods described in NUREG/CR-2944, the analyst determined the conditional probability of a tornado-generated missile strike, given the following assumptions:
1. The estimated area of strike that could potentially disable the emergency diesel generators with the oil filtration skid attached was approximately 2 ft2 2. Given the location and type of site, the estimated number of missiles available would be 30,000 3. The for a small target area was used (2.8 x 10-10 missiles/ft2)
This resulted in a conditional missile strike probability of 1.70 x 10-5. Therefore, the upper bound of the incremental conditional core damage probability was 1.49 x 10-11.
Seismic Events:
The dominant risk from a postulated seismic event occurs when the event is large enough to destroy the switchyard insulators causing a non-recoverable loss of offsite power. The analyst made the bounding assumption that this event would also damage the oil filtration skid in such a manner that the train B emergency diesel generator would fail from lack of fuel oil.
The analyst calculated the likelihood of a seismically-induced loss of offsite power using the seismic hazard for the Callaway Plant and the methods described in the Risk Assessment of Operational Events Handbook, Volume 2, External Events, Revision 4. The analyst quantified this frequency over the range of the seismic hazard and determined the frequency of a seismically-induced loss of offsite power at the Callaway Plant was 3.48 x 10-5/year.
Over the maximum 106-hour exposure period, the probability of a seismically-induced loss of offsite power at the site was 4.21 x 10-7. Given that the oil filtration skid only affected one train of emergency power at a time, by administrative control, the analyst determined qualitatively that the incremental conditional core damage probability would be less than 1 x 10-7 because of the low probability of the train A diesel generator being unavailable and/or unreliable.
Cross-cutting Aspect: The finding did not have a cross-cutting aspect since the last significant review of Procedure OTS-EJ-00002 was in 1999. The associated performance deficiency is not reflective of current performance.
Enforcement:
Violation: Technical Specification 3.8.1, AC Sources - Operating, requires, in part, that two diesel generators capable of supplying the onsite Class 1E power distribution subsystems shall be operable in Modes 1, 2, 3, and 4. Technical Specification 3.8.1, Condition B, requires, in part, that if one diesel generator is inoperable, then restore the diesel generator to operable status within 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br />. Technical Specification 3.8.1, Condition G, states, in part, that if the required action and associated completion time of Condition B is not met, then be in Mode 3 in 6 hours6.944444e-5 days <br />0.00167 hours <br />9.920635e-6 weeks <br />2.283e-6 months <br /> and Mode 5 in 36 hours4.166667e-4 days <br />0.01 hours <br />5.952381e-5 weeks <br />1.3698e-5 months <br />.
Contrary to the above, from February 29 through March 4, 2016, and from August 20 through August 24, 2018, the train B diesel generator was inoperable due to use of a non-seismically qualified filtration activity and exposure to postulated tornado missiles. Action was not taken to place Callaway Plant in Mode 3 within 6 hours6.944444e-5 days <br />0.00167 hours <br />9.920635e-6 weeks <br />2.283e-6 months <br /> and Mode 5 within 36 hours4.166667e-4 days <br />0.01 hours <br />5.952381e-5 weeks <br />1.3698e-5 months <br /> as required by Technical Specification 3.8.1, Required Actions G.1 and G.2.
Disposition: This violation is being treated as a non-cited violation, consistent with Section 2.3.2 of the Enforcement Policy.
Observation 71152Problem Identification and Resolution The inspectors reviewed the licensees corrective action program, performance indicators, system health reports, and other documentation to identify trends that might be indicative of a more significant safety issue for non-safety system interactions with safety-related systems and calculation margin tracking for safety-related systems. The inspectors evaluated procedures where temporary and permanent non-safety systems are connected to safety-related systems for maintenance or operational tasks. The inspectors efforts included an initial extent of condition review for the fuel oil filtration non-cited violation documented in this report and checked for tasks that could challenge the operability of mitigating equipment.
The licensee also performed an extent of condition review including procedurally controlled temporary modifications. The following issues were identified that did not rise to the level of an inspection finding:
- Condition Report 201806086 documented two locations where failure of non-safety ventilation instrumentation plugs could cause diversion of flow used in safety-related ventilation, but only minimally impacted available calculation margin
- Condition Report 201806273 documented instrumentation test box equipment installation on ultimate heat sink cooling tower components and administrative controls of test equipment while briefly bypassing automatic signals during surveillance tests
- Condition Report 201805139 documented the chemistry process for treating sections of essential service water supply piping where a non-safety, temporary piping rig is briefly connected to add chemicals
- Condition Report 201805523 documented the periodic functional check of sump pumps for the emergency diesel generator room by briefly draining essential service water from the jacket water heat exchanger
- Condition Report 201805205 documented the periodic testing of check valves in the boron injection header using a temporary pump during refueling outages
- Condition Reports 201806414 and 201804251 documented the licensees extent of condition review for procedurally controlled temporary modifications including the issues documented above The inspectors determined the licensee performed an appropriate review including scope and depth. The inspectors noted the licensee did not identify a trend and that the issues identified had minimal impact, on the scale of minutes, to challenge the operability of systems.
The inspectors also reviewed calculation margin in safety-related systems, such as fluid leakage, and the methods of tracking challenges to that margin. The inspectors noted that condition reports were appropriately being generated for individual deficiencies and the inspectors were further reviewing any aggregation efforts performed of those condition reports. The inspectors did not identify a trend associated with tracking of margin for these safety-related systems. The inspectors noted the following observations:
- Essential service water deficiencies are tracked in a system engineering spreadsheet, owned by engineering, and tracked to the milliliter per minute level of detail. This system has been identified as having low margin.
- Emergency diesel generator fluid systems (jacket water, fuel oil, lubrication oil)deficiencies are not explicitly tracked in an aggregate tracker due to a large available margin. Instead, the licensee utilizes a white paper that documents the significant margin in those diesel fluid systems and this document is owned by engineering. The inspectors did not identify any aggregate issues that would challenge the calculated margin of fluids.
- Safety-related ventilation deficiencies are tracked in the equipment out of service log system, owned by operations, and tracked to the square inch level of detail for openings in ventilation boundaries. These systems have a moderate amount of margin.
- In general, operations receives accurate information on open deficiencies in fluid systems and references them in immediate or prompt operability determinations.
- The methods used to track issues vary from system to system and are not standardized in procedures.
- The most robust tracking system is using equipment out of service log software since it is also used to track technical specification entries, requires software permissions to edit, and is integrated with the work management software to validate when individual deficiencies/condition reports are corrected.
- The other methods of tracking are vulnerable to additional human performance errors since there is no procedural requirement to update or track the deficiencies including resolution.
- Overall, the tracking methods have worked for the licensee and the inspectors did not identify any issues or condition reports that would have challenged calculated margin for these safety-related fluid systems.
The inspectors verified that all issues were addressed within the scope of the corrective action program and that the completed and planned corrective actions were appropriate to correct the identified causes. The inspectors did not identify any trends or concerns that might be indicative of a more significant safety issue for non-safety system interactions with safety-related systems and calculation margin tracking for safety-related systems.
Unresolved Item Emergency Diesel Generator Operability Evaluations 71152Problem (Closed) using a 7-Day Mission Time Identification and URI 05000483/2014008-03 Resolution
Description:
In 2014, the biennial problem identification and resolution inspection team identified an issue concerning the licensees use of a 7-day mission time for performing operability determinations of the emergency diesel generators as written in Procedure APA-ZZ-00500, Appendix 1, Operability and Functionality Determinations, Revision 22. The team also noted that while the design basis accidents, as described in Final Safety Analysis Report, Chapter 15, were analyzed out to 30 days, Section 3.1.2 Additional Single Failure Assumptions, stated in part that all offsite power is simultaneously lost and is restored within 7 days. The team requested clarification from the Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation in Task Interface Agreement 2014-10 (non-public ADAMS Accession Number ML15089A455) as to whether the licensee should be performing operability determinations using a 7-day or a 30-day mission time.
On October 19, 2018, the Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation provided clarification in a letter from Kathryn M. Brock, Deputy Director, Division of Operating Reactor Licensing, to Jeffrey A. Clark, Deputy Director, Division of Reactor Safety, Region IV (ADAMS Accession Number ML16081A395). In summary, the letter stated that the NRC staff has reviewed the matter and has determined that, although EDG mission time is not a term used in Callaway's licensing basis documents, the Callaway Final Safety Analysis Report does assume in designing for and analyzing for a design basis accident, that all offsite power is restored within 7 days. Therefore, based on this clarification, the inspection team determined that the licensees use of a 7-day mission time for operability determinations of the emergency diesel generators at Callaway Plant was acceptable.
Corrective Action Reference: The licensee documented the NRCs response to Task Interface Agreement 2014-10 in Condition Report 201805611 to determine whether any additional actions were necessary based upon this determination.
