List of Findings and Violations
Failure to Adequately Barricade and Post a High Radiation Area Cornerstone Significance Cross-Cutting Report Aspect Section Occupational Green [H.8] - 71124.01 Radiation Safety NCV 05000482/2024002-01 Procedure Open/Closed Adherence The inspectors identified a finding of very low safety significance (Green) and associated non-cited violation of Technical Specification 5.7.1.a, High Radiation Areas, when the licensee failed to adequately barricade and conspicuously post a high radiation area on the 2000-foot elevation of the containment. Specifically, on April 11, 2024, while performing a walk down in the containment, the NRC inspector identified an area outside of a posted and barricaded high radiation area that had accessible dose rates in excess of 100 millirem per hour.
Failure to Follow Licensee Procedures and Implement High Contamination Area Controls Cornerstone Significance Cross-Cutting Report Aspect Section Occupational Green [H.11] - 71124.01 Radiation Safety NCV 05000482/2024002-02 Challenge the Open/Closed Unknown The inspectors identified a finding of very low safety significance (Green) and associated non-cited violation of Technical Specification 5.4.1.a, Procedures, as recommended in Regulatory Guide 1.33, revision 2, appendix A, February 1978, when the licensee failed to adequately implement high contamination area controls for a job activity. Specifically, on April 8, 2024, at least two workers, a welder, and a pipefitter, were exposed to high contamination conditions of 300,000 disintegrations per minute per 100 square centimeters (dpm/100cm2) while performing weld preparation associated with the replacement of train A residual heat removal drain valves EJV0169 and EJV0007 on the pump suction line. As a result, two workers were contaminated and had to be evaluated for unintended internal dose.
Failure to Perform a Radiation Survey to Identify the Magnitude and Extent of Changing Radiological Conditions Cornerstone Significance Cross-Cutting Report Aspect Section Occupational Green [H.1] - 71124.01 Radiation Safety NCV 05000482/2024002-03 Resources Open/Closed The inspectors identified a finding of very low safety significance (Green) and an associated non-cited violation of 10 CFR 20.1501(a) when the licensee failed to survey an area with changing radiological conditions. Specifically, on April 2, 2024, during activities associated with refueling outage 26, the licensee withdrew the incore detector thimbles and failed to survey the area above and around the entrance to the incore tunnel to identify the extent and magnitude of the changing radiation levels. As a result, workers in the high radiation area were not informed about elevated radiation levels as high as 240 millirem per hour at 30 centimeters from the incore tunnel entrance.
Additional Tracking Items
None.

INSPECTION RESULTS
Failure to Adequately Barricade and Post a High Radiation Area Cornerstone Significance Cross-Cutting Report Aspect Section Occupational Green [H.8] - 71124.01 Radiation Safety NCV 05000482/2024002-01 Procedure Open/Closed Adherence The inspectors identified a finding of very low safety significance (Green) and associated non-cited violation of Technical Specification 5.7.1.a, High Radiation Areas, when the licensee failed to adequately barricade and conspicuously post a high radiation area on the 2000-foot elevation of the containment. Specifically, on April 11, 2024, while performing a walk down in the containment, the NRC inspector identified an area outside of a posted and barricaded high radiation area that had accessible dose rates in excess of 100 millirem per hour.
Description:
On April 11, 2024, inspectors walked down the 2000-foot elevation of containment, near the letdown system containment isolation valve. While using a gamma dose rate survey meter, the inspectors identified general area dose rates of greater than 100 millirem per hour outside of the posted HRA boundary. The containment was generally posted as a radiation area. The inspectors noticed a licensee RP technician in the area and asked him to verify the general area dose rates just surveyed outside of the posted HRA boundary. The RP technician came over and surveyed the area with a Ludlum ion chamber survey meter and confirmed that the dose rates were greater than 100 millirem per hour, as observed by the inspectors. The inspectors then proceeded to exit containment for a scheduled meeting.
Upon exiting containment, the inspectors discussed this issue of concern with a RP supervisor waiting outside of containment. The RP supervisor and a RP tech then proceeded to perform additional surveys to evaluate the issue discussed. The licensee found the accessible higher dose rates appeared to stream from a 7-foot-high letdown piping elbow.
However, these post surveys were conducted after the HRA barricade was moved out from the initial boundary location as identified by the inspectors. After further discussion between NRC and the RP staff, it was determined that the HRA initially identified by the inspectors was not adequately posted and barricaded, as required by the licensee's Technical Specification (TS) 5.7.1 and licensee procedure RPP 02-215, Posting of Radiological Controlled Areas," revision 36A, steps 4.15.1, 5.2.1, 5.2.2, 5.3.4, and 9.1.2.
Procedure RPP 02-215, stated the following, in part:
- Step 4.15.1: A High Radiation Area is defined as any area, accessible to individuals, in which radiation levels from radiation sources external to the body could result in an individual receiving a dose equivalent in excess of 0.1 REM in 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br /> at 30 centimeters
- (cm) from the radiation source or 30 centimeters from any surface that the radiation penetrates.
- Step 5.2.1: Supervisors of RP ensure that plant areas are properly posted.
- Step 5.2.2: Supervisors of RP approve the down posting of high radiation areas and locked high radiation areas.
- Step 5.3.4: RP Technicians obtain approval from RP supervision to down post a high radiation area or a locked high radiation area.
- Step 9.1.2: Posted areas must be clearly and conspicuously marked at all accessible sides and entrances. access points, other than doorways, to either a high radiation area or a locked high radiation area will be conspicuously posted to prevent inadvertent entry into the area.
In this occurrence, the HRA, with dose rates greater than 100 millirem per hour at 30 cm from the source, was not conspicuously posted and adequately barricaded, as required.
Additionally, RP supervision discussed the issue with multiple workers and RP staff and determined that the HRA boundary had been moved or down posted without their approval, as required, prior to the inspectors identifying the HRA dose rates outside of the boundary.
Corrective Actions: Once the HRA dose rates and inadequate posting and boundary were confirmed by RP, RP supervision immediately extended the HRA boundary out approximately 2 feet from its current location, added a steel stanchion, and taped it to the floor to prevent easy removal or movement. These implemented corrective actions established appropriate controls for the HRA posting and barricade. The licensee also coached workers on the requirements to inform RP supervision of moving boundaries, down posting HRAs, and establishing appropriate HRA controls.
Corrective Action References: CRs 10032152 and 10032533
Performance Assessment:
Performance Deficiency: The licensee failed to barricade and conspicuously post an HRA on the 2000-foot elevation of containment.
Screening: The inspectors determined the performance deficiency was more than minor because it was associated with the program & process attribute of the Occupational Radiation Safety cornerstone and adversely affected the cornerstone objective to ensure the adequate protection of the worker health and safety from exposure to radiation from radioactive material during routine civilian nuclear reactor operation. Specifically, the failure to barricade and conspicuously post an HRA had the potential for workers to inadvertently enter an HRA without knowledge that the dose rates exceeded 100 mrem per hour and accumulating unintended dose.
Significance: The inspectors assessed the significance of the finding using IMC 0609 Appendix C, Occupational Radiation Safety SDP. The inspectors determined that the finding was of very low safety significance (i.e., Green) because:
- (1) it did not involve as-low-as-reasonably achievable 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.
Cross-Cutting Aspect: H.8 - Procedure Adherence: Individuals follow processes, procedures, and work instructions. Specifically, licensee Procedure RPP 02-215 required that HRA boundaries were conspicuously posted and barricaded, that RP supervision ensured that HRAs were posted, and RP supervision approved and was knowledgeable of HRA down postings. However, these requirements were not met when RP supervision determined that the HRA boundary in the 2000-foot elevation of containment had been moved (i.e., down posted) without their knowledge and approval, resulting in an inadequately controlled HRA.
Enforcement:
Violation: Title 10 CFR 20.1901(b), Posting of High Radiation Areas, requires, in part, that the licensee shall post each high radiation area with a conspicuous sign or signs bearing the radiation symbol and the words, CAUTION, HIGH RADIATION AREA, or, DANGER, HIGH RADIATION AREA.
Technical Specification 5.7.1.a, High Radiation Areas, requires, in part, that each entryway to areas with dose rates greater than 100 millirem per hour and not exceeding 1.0 rem per hour at 30 centimeters from the radiation source, or any surface penetrated by the radiation, shall be barricaded and conspicuously posted as an HRA. Such barricades may be opened as necessary to permit entry or exit of personnel or equipment.
Contrary to the above, on April 11, 2024, the licensee failed to barricade and conspicuously post entryways to a high radiation area with a conspicuous sign or signs bearing the radiation symbol and the words CAUTION, HIGH RADIATION AREA or DANGER, HIGH RADIATION AREA, as required by 10 CFR 20.1901(b) and TS 5.7.1(a). Specifically, an area in the 2000-foot elevation of containment with radiation levels exceeding 100 millirem per hour at 30 cm from the source but did not exceed 1.0 rem per hour at 30 centimeters from the radiation source, or any surface penetrated by the radiation, was not barricaded or posted as a high radiation area, as required.
Enforcement Action: This violation is being treated as a non-cited violation, consistent with section 2.3.2 of the Enforcement Policy.
Failure to Follow Licensee Procedures and Implement High Contamination Area Controls Cornerstone Significance Cross-Cutting Report Aspect Section Occupational Green [H.11] - 71124.01 Radiation Safety NCV 05000482/2024002-02 Challenge the Open/Closed Unknown The inspectors identified a finding of very low safety significance (Green) and associated non-cited violation of Technical Specification 5.4.1.a, Procedures, as recommended in Regulatory Guide 1.33, revision 2, appendix A, February 1978, when the licensee failed to adequately implement high contamination area controls for a job activity. Specifically, on April 8, 2024, at least two workers, a welder and a pipefitter, were exposed to high contamination conditions of 300,000 disintegrations per minute per 100 square centimeters (dpm/100cm2)while performing weld preparation associated with the replacement of train A residual heat removal drain valves EJV0169 and EJV0007 on the pump suction line. As a result, two workers were contaminated and had to be evaluated for unintended internal dose.
Description:
After reviewing the assigned radiation work permit (RWP), reviewing survey maps of the work area, and briefly speaking to the welder, the inspectors questioned the licensee about whether the welding activities on RHR piping should have been performed with high contamination area controls in place. On day shift of April 8, 2024, a pipefitter and welder were assigned to grind out a socket weld on the train A RHR suction header drain line containing valves EJV0169 and EJV0007. A HEPA air mover and sampler were already staged in the work area by the night shift workers. The workers were signed onto RWP 24-2001, task 2, Welding Activities. The workers were wearing a full set of protective clothing as required for a contamination area. Intermittent RP coverage was provided.
Upon performing the socket weld, the workers identified that additional RHR piping would need to be accessed due to damaging the piping above the valve EJV0169. Working on this additional piping was a change in their work scope. The pipefitter used a 4-inch grinder to remove the socket weld and a hand-file to dress up the pipe prior to welding. Upon exiting from the radiologically controlled area for the lunch period, the pipefitter was found to have 300 net counts per minute (ncpm) on his beard. He was decontaminated and released. A whole-body count was not immediately performed to assess potential internal exposure at this time. Licensee procedures required a whole-body count if facial contamination is detected. The licensee wrote CR 10031822 for not performing a timely whole-body count.
After lunch, the workers went back to continue with the weld on the RHR piping. The RP technician repositioned the HEPA air mover suction closer to provide better air flow away from the workers. Highly contaminated water was dripping out of the RHR system piping at the rate of one drop per second and was captured on an absorbent pad. The water was interfering with the welding. After performing some welding and spending 3 hours3.472222e-5 days <br />8.333333e-4 hours <br />4.960317e-6 weeks <br />1.1415e-6 months <br /> in the work area, the workers exited the area. Radiation protection personnel surveyed the workers and found contamination on the welder. The welder was found to have 40,000 ncpm (i.e., 400,000 dpm/100cm2 with 10-percent efficiency) on his upper front shirt and 500 ncpm on his face. This time, after the welder was decontaminated, he was immediately sent for a whole-body count. Radiation protection personnel provided the inspectors with initial surveys of the area that indicated contamination levels were as high as 2.4 million dpm/100cm2 beta/gamma and 864 beta/alpha ratio. The pipe was decontaminated to 10,000 dpm/100cm2 beta/gamma before work commenced during the dayshift on April 8th.
A follow up survey, M-20240408-25, was performed in the work area. The welders hood was found to have 30,000 dpm/100cm2 beta/gamma, the water and pipe were 300,000 dpm/100cm2 beta/gamma. The welder stated that water continued to drip out of the pipe during their work. Neither the welder nor the RP technician identified this condition as adverse to the protection provided by a single set of protective clothing nor did they stop work until it was confirmed the accessible contamination levels had increased significantly such that the area, they were working in was a high contamination area, which required additional controls. The inspectors determined this was contrary to the RWP procedure, which required they stop work if radiological conditions change or compliance with the RWP requirements can no longer be achieved. Given that highly contaminated water continued to drip from the pipe while the work was ongoing, the inspectors concluded that the radiological conditions had changed and compliance with the RWP requirements was not achieved.
Corrective Actions: The licensee assessed the internal dose of the contaminated welder and pipefitter and determined neither worker received an internal dose. The licensee conducted a review of their procedures for missed opportunities to prevent future personnel contamination events for similar activities. Radiation protection personnel were provided additional training on compliance with RWP requirements and procedures. Workers were coached on refraining from touching their face or clothing while working in contaminated areas and stopping when faced with uncertain or changing conditions.
Corrective Action References: CRs 10031822, 10031829, and 10032535
Performance Assessment:
Performance Deficiency: The failure to establish high contamination area controls when two workers were commencing job activities in radiological conditions exceeding 100,000 dpm/100cm2 was a performance deficiency.
Screening: The inspectors determined the performance deficiency was more than minor because it was associated with the program & process attribute of the Occupational Radiation Safety cornerstone and adversely affected the cornerstone objective to ensure the adequate protection of the worker health and safety from exposure to radiation from radioactive material during routine civilian nuclear reactor operation. Specifically, the licensee's failure to implement high contamination area controls for welding activities on the train A RHR system had the potential to lead to unintended dose for the welder and/or pipefitter and resulted in measured contamination levels as high as 400,000 dpm/100cm2 beta/gamma found on the welder's shirt.
Significance: The inspectors assessed the significance of the finding using IMC 0609, Appendix C, Occupational Radiation Safety SDP. The inspectors determined that the finding was of very low safety significance (i.e., Green) because:
- (1) it did not involve as-low-as-reasonably achievable 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.
Cross-Cutting Aspect: H.11 - Challenge the Unknown: Individuals stop when faced with uncertain conditions. Risks are evaluated and managed before proceeding. Specifically, the licensee noted that the workers had to change their work scope while accessing additional contaminated piping that contained a constant leakage of highly contaminated water (i.e., surveyed at 300,000 dpm/100cm2), and never stopped the job to determine if the radiological conditions they were exposed to were unknown or of high risk for contamination and possible unintended internal exposure.
Enforcement:
Violation: Technical Specification (TS) 5.4.1.a, states in part, written procedures shall be established, implemented, and maintained covering the applicable procedures recommended in Regulatory Guide 1.33, revision 2, appendix A, February 1978. Regulatory Guide 1.33, section 7.e., Procedures for Control of Radioactivity, recommends in part, adequate procedures for "Radiation Protection." Procedure RPP 02-105, RWP, revision 53, step 5.3.5, requires Stopping work whenever changes in the radiological conditions warrant such action or whenever compliance with the RWP requirements can NO longer be achieved.
Contrary to the above, on April 8, 2024, the licensee failed to follow licensee RP procedures.
Specifically, the licensee failed to follow Procedure RPP 02-105 when they did not stop when changes in the radiological conditions, (i.e., the constant dripping of highly contaminated water from the RHR piping) warranted such action and compliance with RWP requirements could no longer be achieved, by using a single set of protective clothing for a contamination area versus additional protective clothing and equipment for a high contamination condition.
This failure resulted in a personnel contamination event where a welder was found to have high levels of radioactive contamination on his shirt and his face.
Enforcement Action: This violation is being treated as a non-cited violation, consistent with section 2.3.2 of the Enforcement Policy.
Failure to Perform a Radiation Survey to Identify the Magnitude and Extent of Changing Radiological Conditions Cornerstone Significance Cross-Cutting Report Aspect Section Occupational Green [H.1] - 71124.01 Radiation Safety NCV 05000482/2024002-03 Resources Open/Closed The inspectors identified a finding of very low safety significance (Green) and an associated non-cited violation of 10 CFR 20.1501(a) when the licensee failed to survey an area with changing radiological conditions. Specifically, on April 2, 2024, during activities associated with refueling outage 26, the licensee withdrew the incore detector thimbles and failed to survey the area above and around the entrance to the incore tunnel to identify the extent and magnitude of the changing radiation levels. As a result, workers in the high radiation area were not informed about elevated radiation levels as high as 240 millirem per hour at 30 centimeters from the incore tunnel entrance.
Description:
On April 9, 2024, during refueling outage (RF) 26, NRC inspectors performed radiation surveys of the Wolf Creek reactor inside the bio-shield on the 2000-foot elevation of containment while the reactor was defueled. The entryway to the bio-shield was posted and barricaded as a high radiation area and contamination area. While performing a survey near the entrance to the incore tunnel, which was locked, enclosed, and posted with signage stating, "Grave Danger - Very High Radiation Area," the inspectors identified dose rates higher than expected based on the high radiation area briefing of radiological conditions within the bioshield and existing radiation protection (RP) survey maps. The inspectors identified that dose rates were over 200 millirem per hour at the ladder access entrance to the incore tunnel. The inspectors informed the licensee's RP staff about the elevated dose rates and the licensee performed confirmatory surveys to validate the inspectors' findings.
The licensee confirmed the dose rates were up to 240 millirem per hour at 30 centimeters from the incore tunnel ladder access and cover plate. These elevated dose rates were not previously recorded by the licensee on survey maps that were being used to brief workers entering the high radiation area. The previous surveys indicated that the highest dose rates in the same area were 12 millirem per hour at 30 centimeters, which were 20 times less than actually encountered. After additional discussions with the licensee, the inspectors determined that after the incore detector thimble tubes were withdrawn on April 2, 2024, no surveys were performed to assess the magnitude and extent of radiation levels in the area.
Subsequent to the withdrawal of the thimble tubes, scheduled refueling outage work activities continued in the area without workers being made knowledgeable of the increased dose rates until April 10th when the licensee performed the confirmatory surveys and updated the applicable survey maps of the area.
The inspectors requested a list of any work activity that had been performed in the area from the time of retracting the thimble tubes on April 2, 2024, until the time of the elevated dose rates discovery on April 9, 2024. The licensee provided information that confirmed work was performed in the area on April 5, 2024, and that workers would not have known the radiation levels had changed such that dose rates were 20 times higher than those briefed to them per the survey at the time.
Corrective Actions: On April 10, 2024, the licensee performed a survey at the incore tunnel entrance. The survey was documented, M-20240411-8, and the status boards were updated to reflect the current radiological conditions with dose rates as high as 240 millirem per hour at 30 centimeters from the incore tunnel entrance. The licensee then evaluated their RP program and process for deficiencies.
Corrective Action References: CRs 10032074 and 10032536
Performance Assessment:
Performance Deficiency: The licensee failed to perform an adequate survey to identify changing radiological conditions after withdrawing the incore thimbles, which resulted in workers not being made knowledgeable of the actual dose rates in the high radiation area that were up to 20 times higher than indicated on survey maps and briefed to the workers.
Screening: The inspectors determined the performance deficiency was more than minor because it was associated with the program & process attribute of the Occupational Radiation Safety cornerstone and adversely affected the cornerstone objective to ensure the adequate protection of the worker health and safety from exposure to radiation from radioactive material during routine civilian nuclear reactor operation. Specifically, from April 2-10, 2024, work commenced in the high radiation area above and around the entrance to the incore tunnel without workers being made knowledgeable of the actual dose rates that were up to 20 times higher than indicated on survey maps and briefed to the workers, which challenged the licensee's ability to prevent unplanned dose.
Significance: The inspectors assessed the significance of the finding using IMC 0609, Appendix C, Occupational Radiation Safety SDP. The inspectors determined that the finding was of very low safety significance (i.e., Green) because:
- (1) it did not involve as-low-as-reasonably achievable 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.
Cross-Cutting Aspect: H.1 - Resources: Leaders ensure that personnel, equipment, procedures, and other resources are available and adequate to support nuclear safety.
Specifically, the licensee evaluated their program and process and determined that multiple procedures were deficient in information and requirements to evaluate changing radiological conditions. For example, procedures used for the incore thimble work failed to contain specific instructions to survey the area after withdrawal and insertion of the thimbles to ensure that actual radiological conditions were identified and documented to maintain knowledgeable workers in the field.
Enforcement:
Violation: Title 10 CFR 20.1501(a) requires, in part, that each licensee make or cause to be made surveys that
- (1) may be necessary for the licensee to comply with the regulations in Part 20 and that surveys
- (2) are reasonable under the circumstances to evaluate the magnitude and extent of radiation levels.
Contrary to the above, from April 2-10, 2024, the licensee failed to make or cause to be made surveys that complied with the regulations in Part 20 and were reasonable under the circumstances to evaluate the magnitude and extent of radiation levels in the area above and around the entrance to the incore tunnel. Specifically, the licensee failed to perform surveys after withdrawing the incore detector thimble tubes and evaluate the potential radiological hazards of the changing conditions when dose rates changed from 12 millirem per hour at 30 centimeters to 240 millirem per hour at 30 centimeters, which resulted in inaccurate survey maps being used to brief workers entering the high radiation area and those workers not being made knowledgeable of the actual radiological conditions.
Enforcement Action: This violation is being treated as a non-cited violation, consistent with section 2.3.2 of the Enforcement Policy.
Observation: Semiannual Trend 71152S The inspectors reviewed the licensees corrective action program, performance indicators, system health reports, and other documentation available to help identify performance trends that might indicate the existence of a more significant safety issue.
To verify that the licensee was taking corrective actions to address identified adverse trends that might indicate the existence of a more significant safety issue, the inspectors reviewed the corrective action program documentation associated with a potential adverse in performing and planning required post-maintenance testing following maintenance activities with a contributing cause associated with the cross-cutting aspect H.5, Work Management.
Selected examples of these events included:
- NRC Integrated Inspection Report 05000482/2024001 documented non-cited violation (NCV) 2024001-02, Failure to Perform Post-Maintenance Testing Following Maintenance and Installation of the Bypass Reactor Trip Breaker, for the licensees failure to perform appropriate post-maintenance testing following reactor trip breaker maintenance and installation to verify full technical specification operability. Specifically, Work Order (WO) 18-445075-000 failed to provide appropriate instructions for safety-related bypass reactor trip breaker post-maintenance testing following maintenance and installation to verify the breaker was fully operable, by testing the technical specification required P-4 interlock that was later found to be inoperable due to incorrect wiring. The inspectors assigned a cross-cutting aspect of H-5, Work Management, because the licensee inappropriately planned the installation of the vendor overhauled reactor trip breakers in Mode 1 preventing the licensee from performing adequate post-maintenance testing to verify proper operation of the reactor trip breaker in the bypass location to ensure it was fully operable. The licensee-initiated Condition Reports 10031001 and 10031493.
- The inspectors identified a minor finding and associated violation of Technical Specification 5.4.1.a for the licensees failure to implement Procedure AP 16E-002, Post Maintenance Testing, revision 21B, for containment cooler D motor and fan assembly replacement. Specifically, the licensee failed to plan post-maintenance testing to measure containment cooler D air flow capacity following the replacement of the motor and fan assembly. The inspectors determined the cross-cutting aspect H.5, Work Management, was applicable because the licensee failed to implement AP 16E-002 when planning, controlling, and executing work activities associated with the post-maintenance testing development of containment cooler Ds motor and fan assembly replacement during refueling outage 26. The licensee-initiated Condition Report 10032793 and a performed a satisfactory air flow capacity post-maintenance testing.
- The licensee identified a minor finding and associated violation of Technical Specification 5.4.1.a for the licensees failure to perform required post-maintenance testing for auxiliary feedwater flow control valves ALHV0006, ALHV0008, and ALHV0012. Specifically, the licensee failed to perform Procedure STS AL-201C, Turbine Driven Auxiliary Feedwater System Inservice Valve Test, revision 13, in accordance with work orders: WO 53554, WO 53513, and WO 53369. The inspectors determined the cross-cutting aspect H.5, Work Management, was applicable due to the failure to coordinate work activities to address changing priorities across a whole spectrum of activities contributing to nuclear safety. Specifically, when the licensee changed to perform corrective maintenance for ALHV0006, ALHV0008, and ALHV0012 from online to the outage they failed to ensure the post-maintenance testing activities were also changed to the outage. The licensee-initiated Condition Report 10033418 and a performed Procedure STS AL-201C satisfactorily.
- The inspectors reviewed Condition Report 10033122 and the associated performance assessment worksheet for the licensee failing to perform timed stroke testing of the air operated containment purge isolation valve GTHZ0008 following diagnostic testing.
The diagnostic testing procedure provides procedural guidance to remove and re-install the air-lines for GTHZ0008 in accordance with AP 29B-002, ASME Code Testing of Pumps and Valves, revision 12A, and WO 23-486310-002. The diagnostic testing was performed on April 14, 2024, during refueling outage 26 during the defueled window and the station entered Mode 6 on April 24, 2024. The licensees performance assessment worksheet concluded the operator mindset was to consider the need for post-maintenance testing when putting equipment back in service, not when taking it out of service. As a result, the need for the post-maintenance testing was missed. The inspectors reviewed the associated work orders: WO 23-486310-000, WO 23-486310-001, and WO 23-486310-002, and Technical Specification 3.9.4, Containment Penetrations. Technical Specification 3.9.4 states for the containment purge system, each penetration providing direct access from the containment atmosphere to the outside atmosphere either: 1. Closed by a manual or automatic isolation valve, blind flange, or equivalent, or 2. Capable of the being closed by an operable containment purge isolation valve. Work Order 23-486310-002 directed the licensee stroke GTHZ0008 in accordance with Procedure STS GP-001, Containment Purge Valves Actuation Test, revision 32. However, the work order was assigned a mode restraint of Mode 4, instead of a mode restraint of Mode 6. From this information the inspectors identified a minor finding and associated violation of Technical Specification 5.4.1.a for the licensees failure to performed required post-maintenance testing for GTHZ0008 prior to entering Mode 6. The inspectors determined the cross-cutting aspect H.5, Work Management, was applicable due to the failure to coordinate work activities to address changing priorities across whole spectrum of activities contributing to nuclear safety. Specifically, the licensee failed to assign the correct mode restraint for WO 23-486310-002 to ensure the post-maintenance testing for GTHZ0008 was completed prior to entering Mode 6 on April 24, 2024.
The inspectors concluded there was an adverse trend in a failure to perform and plan required post-maintenance testing following planned and corrective maintenance with a contributing cause associated with the cross-cutting aspect of H.5 Work Management.
Additionally, the inspectors noted the licensee also identified the adverse trend in a failure to perform and plan required post-maintenance testing. The licensee initiated CRs 10033639 and 10032794 for the adverse trend in post-maintenance testing activities. At the end of the inspection quarter, the licensee was still developing corrective actions to correct the post-maintenance testing adverse trend. The inspectors did not review any cross-cutting themes because none existed at the site.
