SUBJECT: NORTH ANNA POWER STATION - NRC RESTART READINESS INSPECTION REPORT 05000338/2011012, 05000339/2011012
Dear Mr. Heacock:
On November 7, 2011, the U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed an inspection at your North Anna Power Station Units 1 and 2. The enclosed integrated inspection report documents the inspection findings which were discussed on November 7, 2011, with Mr. Michael Crist and other members of your staff.
The inspection examined activities conducted under your licenses as they related to safety and compliance with the Commission's rules and regulations and with the conditions of your licenses. The inspectors reviewed selected procedures and records, observed activities, and interviewed personnel.
Based on the results of this inspection, no findings were identified. The team concluded that your staff adequately inspected plant structures, systems and components (SSCs) to ensure that any damage from the August 23, 2011, seismic event was identified and if found, would have been properly evaluated and corrected prior to initiating restart activities. As a result of the inspections performed by Dominion, industry and NRC personnel, no significant seismically-induced damage was identified which could affect the operability or functionality of plant SSCs. However, during the inspection, some examples of minor problems were identified, including:
issues that had not been entered into the corrective action or work control programs as required; opportunities to enhance the root cause evaluations conducted following the seismic event; committed actions that were not being processed in accordance with program requirements; and areas which had not been inspected or evaluated before the Restart Readiness Inspection Team engaged your staff. One non-seismic issue associated with a penetration that was found to not be sealed, as required, is discussed in this report and will be dispositioned in the resident inspectors' quarterly inspection report following further review by NRC staff.
VEPCO 2 In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 of the NRC's "Rules of Practice," a copy of this letter and its enclosure will be available electronically for public inspection in the NRC Public Document Room or from the Publicly Available Records (PARS) component of the NRC's Agencywide Document Access and Management System (ADAMS).

SUMMARY OF FINDINGS
IR 05000338/2011012, 05000339/2011012; 10/05/2011 - 11/07/2011; North Anna Power
Station, Units 1 and 2; Restart Readiness Inspection.
The report covered approximately a month period of inspection by two Senior Resident Inspectors, Region III Government Liaison Officer, Nuclear Reactor Regulation (NRR) Project Manager, three regional Senior Reactor inspectors and one Operations Inspector. No findings were identified. 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.
The team concluded that your staff adequately inspected plant structures, systems and components (SSCs) to ensure that any damage from the August 23, 2011, seismic event was identified and, if found, would have been properly evaluated and corrected prior to initiating restart activities. As a result of the inspections performed by Dominion, industry and NRC personnel, no significant seismically-induced damage was identified which could affect the operability or functionality of plant SSCs. However, during the inspection, some examples of minor problems were identified, including: issues that had not been entered into the corrective action or work control programs as required; opportunities to enhance the root cause evaluations conducted following the seismic event; committed actions that were not being processed in accordance with program requirements; and areas which had not been inspected or evaluated before the Restart Readiness Inspection Team engaged your staff. One non-seismic issue associated with a penetration that was found to not be sealed as required is discussed in this report and will be dispositioned in the resident inspector's quarterly inspection report following further review by NRC staff.

4OA3 Follow-up of Events and Notices of Enforcement Discretion (IPs 71153 and 92702)
1.0 BACKGROUND On August 23, 2011, at 1:51 pm, with North Anna Power Station (NAPS) Units 1 and 2 operating at 100 percent power, a Magnitude 5.8 earthquake occurred approximately five miles from Mineral, Virginia. The epicenter was approximately 11 miles WSW of NAPS. Based on an evaluation of the US Geological Survey (USGS) data and plant-specific seismic data, the licensee has confirmed that the August 23, 2011, earthquake exceeded the spectral and peak ground accelerations for the Operating Basis and Design Basis Earthquakes (OBE and DBE, respectively) for NAPS Units 1 and 2. This has also been confirmed by NRC seismologists that reviewed the data.
An Augmented Inspection Team (AIT) was dispatched to the site following the event and was chartered to:
- (1) collect, analyze, and document factual information and evidence to determine the probable cause(s) as well as the conditions and circumstances relevant to plant equipment issues directly related to the seismic event of August 23, 2011;
- (2) assess the licensee's actions and plant equipment response during the seismic event and aftershocks;
- (3) identify any generic issues associated with the event;
- (4) conduct an independent extent of condition review; and
- (5) collect information to support the final determination of the risk significance of the event. The majority of the AIT's activities focused on the plant and personnel response to the event and immediate actions taken by the licensee, although the team did look at activities taken and planned by the licensee to support restart of the facility and conduct independent walkdowns and inspections of selected structures, systems and components (SSCs).
The licensee reported that post-shutdown plant walkdowns and inspections have been completed and no significant physical or functional damage to safety-related plant SSCs has been identified through their inspections. Limited damage to non-safety related, non-seismically designed SSCs, such as the main generator step-up transformer bushings, was identified. The licensee's stated position is that the lack of any significant physical or functional damage to safety-related SSCs and the limited damage to non-safety-related systems is consistent with an Electric Power Resource Institute (EPRI) Damage Intensity of "0", the indicator of least damage, as defined in Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) NP-6695, Guidelines for Nuclear Power Plant Response to an Earthquake. Despite the lack of evidence of any physical or functional damage to safety-related plant SSCs, the licensee opted to perform additional comprehensive and methodical visual inspections of plant SSCs and to perform expanded inspections and tests in accordance with an EPRI Damage Intensity of "1" versus the observed Damage Intensity of "0". The specific SSCs inspected by the licensee as well as several groups of NRC personnel are contained in this report as Attachment 2.
To support the NRC's assessment of the readiness of the NAPS to return to service, a Restart Readiness Inspection Team was dispatched to the site to provide an evaluation of the current plant condition, review the licensee's actions taken or planned to support restart, and assess the status of the corrective actions developed to address issues identified by the licensee and NRC inspection teams.
2.0. Assessment of Plant Condition Following the August 23, 2011, Seismic Event Following the August 23, 2011, seismic event, numerous walkdowns of plant systems and focused inspections of selected structures and components were conducted by licensee personnel. In addition, independent inspections and walkdowns were performed by NRC inspectors from the AIT, the Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation's Fuels group, the Restart Readiness Inspection Team and the North Anna resident inspector office staff as well as nuclear industry seismic experts. The purpose of these inspections was to identify any physical damage or deformation that could potentially impact operability or functionality of station SSCs. Following each of the walkdowns and inspections performed by licensee, industry, and NRC personnel, any issues identified were reviewed to determine if they were seismically-related and if so, were entered into the Corrective Action Program (CAP) for evaluation to determine if they had been seismically induced and if so, what additional inspections or testing was required to support a position of operability / functionality. Prior to the performance of the walkdowns conducted by the station's staff, training was provided to each engineer that took part in the inspection teams to ensure that a consistent approach was used in the walkdowns. The licensee identified more than 400 surveillance procedures to be performed prior to declaring the Unit 1 "ready for restart" to demonstrate the availability and operability of components and systems important to nuclear safety or required to mitigate the consequences of an accident as defined in the Updated Final Safety Analysis Report (UFSAR) and Technical Specifications (TSs). For Unit 2, more than 150 surveillance procedures were identified for performance in addition to those already scheduled to support the refueling outage prior to restarting the unit.
2.1 Walkdowns and Inspections
a. Inspection Scope
Licensee: Detailed walkdowns of all the major systems at the station were conducted by the licensee following the August 23, 2011, seismic event. The site used EPRI and NRC documents along with input from other utilities operating nuclear plants in seismically-prone areas to develop inspection procedures and associated training material used by personnel performing the inspections. The station defined a methodology to be used in the walkdowns modeled after that used by another nuclear utility in a seismically active area. This methodology was communicated to approximately 60 station and corporate engineers involved in the effort via a training module to ensure that they were performed in a consistent manner. In addition to the system walkdowns, the licensee performed a detailed inspection of the station's safety- and non-safety-related structures defined under the Maintenance Rule program using the existing Civil Design Engineering procedure ER-NA-INS-104, Monitoring of Structures at North Anna Power Station, which is performed every five years. The licensee also obtained the services of several nuclear industry seismic experts as well as engineers from another nuclear utility to perform inspections of the station looking for significant physical or functional seismically-induced damage.
NRC: The Augmented Inspection Team performed walkdowns of selected SSCs both in conjunction with licensee personnel as well as independently where equipment conditions would allow. The team composition included a structural engineer and seismologist who performed focused inspections of a structural nature to assess the impact of the seismic event on plant SSCs.
North Anna resident inspectors observed Unit 2 reactor core offload activities and inspections of the fuel removed from the vessels. Personnel from the NRR staff reviewed the inspection of reactor vessel internals to determine if there had been any damage caused by the seismic event. The staff also reviewed data from the reactor trips that occurred on August 23, 2011, following the seismic event focusing on the response of the reactor protection system and nuclear instrumentation on both units. An assessment of the spent fuel pool was performed, including performance of a walkdown of the shared spent fuel pool and support systems, assessing the post-event condition of the spent fuel pool, and reviewing the analyses completed by the licensee intended to identify spent fuel pool and rack system design margin. The report discussing the audit performed by NRR staff can be found in ADAMS as ML11305A239.
North Anna Resident Inspectors conducted walkdowns of SSCs in conjunction with licensee personnel, AIT, and Restart Readiness Inspection Team members and through their implementation of the baseline inspection program.
The Restart Readiness Inspection Team conducted walkdowns of SSCs to assess their material condition. The process used to select SSCs to be inspected was based on what inspections NRC personnel had performed since the August 23, 2011, seismic event, the risk / safety significance of the SSC, and the issues identified by the licensee during the performance of their walkdowns. The team also reviewed the results of licensee walkdowns performed following the seismic event for SSCs, the procedures and training provided to the personnel conducting the walkdowns, and the assessments performed by the licensee on the issues identified during the walkdowns.
b. Observations and Findings
.1 System Walkdowns by Licensee Personnel
The licensee's walkdown included 82 systems for Unit 1, including those shared between the two units, and 57 systems for Unit 2. Attachment 2 of this report lists the SSCs that were walked down by licensee personnel. The station developed a site procedure, 0-GEP-30, Post Seismic Event System Engineering Walkdown, following the seismic event to guide the scope of the inspections and capture any deficiencies identified by the teams conducting the inspections. This procedure was then used to develop the training provided to the personnel performing the walkdowns. While not required by the EPRI guidance based on the observed damage as defined in EPRI NP-6695, the licensee performed inspections of nearly 100 percent of all safety-related systems, with the only exclusions being energized high-voltage cabinets that could not be accessed safely or areas that were inaccessible due to radiation levels, temperatures, space limitations, or heights. Areas that were not inspected were documented in a Boundary Log and evaluated to determine if alternate methods of inspection could be employed or if an engineering assessment could be used to justify not inspecting the area. Engineering evaluations by station personnel determined that the majority of the issues identified during the walkdowns were not seismically induced. Those that were designated as having been caused by the seismic event were evaluated and classified as being minor in nature with no impact on SSC operability or functionality. The majority of the identified issues were subsequently entered into the CAP and / or work order (WO) program for additional evaluation and resolution. The Restart Readiness Inspection Team noted that in the civil and structural areas, issues such as cracks that did not exceed pre-defined criteria were dispositioned as "minor in nature" in the field by the inspector and in most cases were not documented in any of the various station programs or processes intended to capture information for historical reference. Such information could prove beneficial in the future if these issues were found to have changed over time. Issues that were determined to be required to be addressed prior to restart were appropriately coded as such in the various station programs to ensure that they would be completed before returning the units to service. The Restart Readiness Inspection Team reviewed the documented results of the licensee's walkdowns and the resulting evaluations performed to independently assess the identified items and determine if they had been caused by the seismic event. The team did not identify any licensee-identified issues that had not been adequately evaluated or prioritized to ensure that they were corrected in an appropriate time period to support restart of the units.
The team also reviewed the training material covering the walkdown procedure, 0-GEP-30, developed following the seismic event that had been provided to the engineers performing the walkdowns and interviewed the instructor that had presented it. Interviews of a sample of engineers were also conducted to assess the effectiveness of the training in preparing the teams to conduct detailed walkdowns in a consistent manner. The team provided the licensee with comments related to the training material and its presentation that had the potential to affect the consistency of the inspections and the level of detail applied to specific components during the inspections based on the material review and interviews conducted. The guidance contained in the 0-GEP-30 procedure and associated training was focused at the generic component level rather than providing specific guidance for individual systems or additional criteria for specific components. In addition, direction to inspect certain components, such as insulation or tubing, which could indicate surface-to-surface contact during a seismic event had not been included in either the procedure or associated training. Section 6.0, Use of Operating Experience, provides additional insight into the licensee's limited use of supplemental information that could have added specificity and focus to the post-seismic event inspections. The licensee generated a CR to review the material to determine if enhancements to the content and direction given to the engineers performing the inspections were needed in the event inspections and walkdowns are required in the future due to a seismic event at the station and identified several corrective actions that will be implemented to address this area.
.2 Civil and Structural Inspections by Licensee Personnel
Inspections of civil structures at the NAPS were conducted by station personnel supplemented by engineers from other Dominion facilities and a civil engineering consulting firm using procedure ER-NA-INS-104, Monitoring of Structures at the North Anna Power Station. This five-year procedure was in process at the time of the August 23, 2011, seismic event. The Restart Readiness Inspection Team identified that data from previous performances of this surveillance - either the one that had been in progress at the time of the seismic event or those completed in previous years - had not been compared to the data obtained from the inspections performed following the event to identify any changes that could be attributed to the seismic event. The licensee's assessment of any identified cracks used existing civil inspection criteria and guidance contained in the EPRI NP-6695 document which defined the criteria that constituted significant physical or functional damage to concrete and steel structures. Many of the cracks on both safety-and non-safety-related structures that were found to be below the criteria contained in EPRI NP-6695 of 0.06 inches were dispositioned as minor in the field and not documented on the inspection sheet or captured in the correction action program (CAP). Other cracks that were classified as minor or cosmetic in nature were evaluated by civil engineering personnel, and based on their size and depth, deemed to not require any repairs. After discussions with the team, the licensee initiated an evaluation to compare the results of the inspections done prior to and following the seismic event to determine if any changes had been observed; however, the inconsistent practice of documenting cracks less than the 0.06-inch width impacted the ability to determine if observed cracks were recent, were unchanged or had expanded following the seismic event. Relying on individual engineers to determine what level of structural issues should be documented has resulted in a degree of inconsistency in developing an overall assessment of the impact the seismic event had on the NAPS and re-establishing a baseline record of structural integrity for future use.
The inspection summaries produced by the licensee stated that no issues with safety-related structures had been identified through the structural inspections; however, some deviations were found on non-safety related structures which were entered into the CAP and WO processes for documentation, evaluation, and correction.
The Restart Readiness Inspection Team independently reviewed the inspection results obtained prior to and following the seismic event and did not identify any significant deltas between the two inspections that the licensee had not assessed. However, as stated above, the inconsistent documentation of cracks less than the 0.06-inch criteria contained in EPRI NP-6695 impacts the ability to assess crack propagation or changes following seismic events. The team also inspected selected areas where cracking had been identified by the licensee as well as additional areas where cracking had not been documented to determine if issues had been identified, documented, and evaluated appropriately. While no cracks greater than 0.06 inches were identified, some issues were identified by the team that required additional evaluation by the licensee to determine if corrective actions were required prior to restarting the units. The licensee initiated corrective action on those items deemed to be "restart dependent" and coded them appropriately to ensure that the work was completed before restart commenced. Attachment 3 provides a summary of the issues identified by the team and the actions taken by the licensee.
Additional reviews of cracking identified in structures on the North Anna site and actions defined by the licensee to address them have been conducted by Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation personnel under the Request for Additional Information (RAI) and subsequent Safety Evaluation Report development processes.
.3 Electrical Inspections by Licensee Personnel
Detailed inspections of electrical systems and components were performed by the licensee following the seismic event including a 100 percent inspection of the high voltage switchyard. Systems reviewed in detail included Electrical Power (EP), Emergency Diesel Generators (EG), Station Blackout Diesel and Support Systems (AAC), Emergency Electrical (EE), Batteries (BY), and Vital Buss (VB). The inspections were performed by station electrical maintenance technicians, system engineers, members of the Dominion transmission group, and engineers from other Dominion facilities. The results of these inspections were documented in the Seismic Event System Deficiencies Log and subsequently evaluated by the licensee to determine if any were seismically induced and what corrective actions were required to address them.
The Restart Readiness Inspection Team reviewed the results of these inspections and how identified deficiencies had been addressed via the CAP or WO process. The team also accompanied licensee personnel conducting the detailed inspections of the switchyard and walked down selected portions of other electrical systems in the plant in conjunction with system engineers.
The team did not identify any deficiencies that had not previously been identified by licensee personnel during their inspections or have any concerns with licensee evaluations and dispositions of the issues prior to declaring the electrical systems fully operable / functional.
.4 Inspections by External Personnel
Two independent inspections were performed by personnel from outside of Dominion.
One team, consisting of nuclear industry seismic experts, focused on reviewing data obtained by the licensee related to areas or equipment where physical or functional seismically induced damage would have been likely. Their activities included discussions with civil engineers at the corporate office and a one-day site visit to visually review the structures inspected by the licensee that had been documented in the post-event report. Some structural issues were evaluated by the nuclear industry seismic experts that were speculated to be seismically induced damage but had been dispositioned by the licensee as having been previously existing or not significant. The Restart Readiness Inspection Team recognized that this inspection was primarily focused on independently assessing the licensee's evaluation of issues that had been previously identified in order to confirm that the seismic event had no or minimal impact on the station rather than performing an independent inspection of the facility to identify structural issues that may not have been identified by licensee personnel in their walkdowns.
The other independent inspection consisted of system engineers from another nuclear utility and included walkdowns of two systems (Component Cooling and Reactor Coolant) to ensure that the licensee inspections on the selected systems were thorough and had not overlooked issues that required further evaluation. No significant physical or functional seismically induced damage was identified during the systems' inspections performed by these non-Dominion engineers.
The Restart Readiness Inspection Team reviewed the reports documenting these independent inspections and did not have any comments or issues with their content but did acknowledge their limited scope.
.5 Buried Piping Inspections
The licensee's design records show that there are approximately seven miles of buried pipe on the NAPS site; however, less than 1,500 feet of the buried piping carries, or has the potential to carry, contaminated fluids such as tritium or liquid radioactive waste. Selected inspections and testing of portions of these pipes as well as piping deemed to be important to plant operation were performed by the licensee. The condition of buried piping was evaluated by the licensee through actions that included the following:
- Approximately 100 feet of buried piping associated with the Unit 1 Refueling Water Storage Tank (RWST) was directly inspected through excavation. Specific piping inspected included:
o The Quench Spray (QS) piping to the QS pumps' suction o The QS pump recirculation piping o The Safety Injection (SI) system piping to the High Head and Low Head Safety Injection pumps' suction o The RWST recirculation pumps' suction and discharge piping o The Refueling Purification (RP) and blender make-up piping to the RWST o The RWST recirculation piping.
- Two sections of approximately 100 linear feet of the Fire Protection system piping were excavated for inspection
- The Unit 2 Circulating Water discharge tunnel and associated liquid waste line was drained and inspected internally
- Data that could indicate potential leakage from buried piping such as fire water system jockey pump run time and head tank levels was collected and evaluated The QS, SI and RWST system piping inspections involved ten piping line runs of various sizes. The inspection results for each line identified that the coating in some areas was degraded and brittle and was not very well bound to the external pipe surface. The coating in many sections of the piping was removed during soil excavation and was repaired before backfill of the piping took place. The Restart Readiness Inspection Team reviewed photographs of the work location and confirmed that the repairs had been completed. Additional details of the inspections that were conducted included ensuring that there were no signs of blistering, as determined by the coating engineer; that the piping runs had no indication of pitting or corrosion; and that the pipe penetrations showed no indication of cracks or stress caused by the seismic event. In addition, VT-1 inspections and ultrasonic testing (UT) pipe thickness examinations were performed at various locations where the protective coating was found to have come free from the pipe surface. On one run of four-inch diameter pipe (4"-QS-16-152-S), the UT pipe thickness measurement at the elbow was measured to be 0.08" with a stated minimum pipe wall thickness is 0.105". Calculations were performed to determine that the measured 0.08" thickness on the elbow was acceptable; no repairs were found to be required. The certification records of the individual who performed the VT-1 and UT measurements were reviewed by the team and determined to be acceptable.
In addition, over 650 feet of SI, Recirculation Spray (RS) and QS piping, as well as approximately 6,650 feet of non-contaminated safety-related Service Water piping, was pressure tested with satisfactory results. The pressure tests performed on these systems is conducted on an approximately three-year frequency in accordance with the ASME Section XI requirements; however, the licensee opted to re-perform all of the periodic tests following the seismic event to ensure that there was no hidden damage to buried piping. The Restart Readiness Inspection Team reviewed the results of this testing and did not identify any issues that indicated degradation in the buried piping that was tested.
Plans for performance monitoring activities associated with buried piping as the units are returned to service have been developed and are being communicated to the operations staff and system engineers to ensure that parameters are monitored for indications of degradation of the condition of buried piping. Additional details are contained in Section 3.0, Performance Monitoring.
The team did not have any comments or issues with the licensee's actions associated with the buried piping monitoring program other than ensuring that the additional monitoring developed for restart is properly communicated and effectively implemented.
.6 Ground Water Monitoring
Following the seismic event, the station's Groundwater Monitoring Program (GWP) was modified to increase the sampling frequency of the monitoring wells in order to track levels of tritium in the groundwater within the Owner Controlled Area. No damage to buried piping systems was indicated based on the sample data obtained since the seismic event. The licensee also performed excavation inspections of selected piping as described in the previous section on Buried Piping. Planned longer term actions included continued evaluation of the groundwater monitoring program to determine if additional wells or increased sampling frequency is required. The licensee had also taken actions to address groundwater tritium levels, including additional inspections and sealing of the interior of the concrete circulating water tunnel for Unit 2.
Administrative Procedure RP-AA-502, Groundwater Protection Program, establishes the program that ensures timely and effective management of situations involving inadvertent releases of radioactive material to groundwater. The inspection team reviewed historical monitoring well sample results for tritium over the past six months.
The monitoring well data reviewed by the team was for wells located within the protected area. The inspection team noted that a condition report (CR) had been generated to investigate the source of tritium previously identified in the groundwater inspection well samples that were collected during the discharge of the "B" boron recovery tank (BRT) through the Unit 1 circulating water tunnel as a result of piezometer (PZ) well #3 increasing from 2,540 pCi/l to 5,363 pCi/l, GWP well #4 increasing from <1,340 pCi/l to 3,739 pCi/l, and GWP #6 increasing from 9,950 pCi/l to 20,190 pCi/l. All other monitoring wells were less than the minimum detectable activity or in line with previous trends. The data interpretation of the increased activity of the monitoring wells appeared to identify a preferential pathway from PZ #3 to GWP #6 and was attributed to a leak from the Unit 1 circulating water discharge tunnel. The licensee had also monitored tank levels to determine if there had been any loss of inventory that could contribute to sources of tritium but no unexplained decreases were identified. The groundwater monitoring reviews involved the engineer for the buried piping program and shift operations for input on any known system leakage pathways. The team determined that there was a strong level of cross-departmental engagement to identify and correct the source of tritium in groundwater.
The team independently reviewed the groundwater monitoring sample results to determine if any discernable changes in the tritium levels were observed following the August 23, 2011, seismic event and none were noted. The team also reviewed the reports documenting the increased sampling activities and licensee's plans to expand the monitoring program that had been in place prior to the August 23, 2011, seismic event. The team did not identify any issues with the licensee's groundwater protection program.
.7 Walkdowns and Inspections by NRC Personnel
The NRC inspection teams and the resident inspectors performed inspections of SSCs selected based on their risk significance, seismic margin or what inspections had been previously performed on the SSCs by other NRC personnel. Issues identified during NRC walkdowns conducted prior to the Restart Readiness Inspection Team arrival on site were entered in the station's CAP by the licensee. As a result of the Restart Readiness Inspection Team's walkdowns / inspections, a number of issues were identified and questions raised that the licensee had not previously identified or considered as part of their post-seismic walkdowns and inspections. The Restart Readiness Inspection Team divided the identified issues and questions into two groups - "Material Condition Issues" and "Potential Seismic Issues and Related Questions." The licensee entered the issues / questions identified by the Restart Readiness Inspection Team into the CAP to assess their potential impact on the operability /
functionality of the SSC as well as to determine if they had been caused by the seismic event. The issues identified and questions raised by the team are contained in Attachment 3 which provides details on the individual issues, their status, and actions taken by the licensee. None of the issues that the team identified affected the current operability or functionality of NAPS SSCs as a result of the seismic event. The issues associated with the main steam pipe tunnel discussed below did have the potential to impact operability of safety-related equipment but were not attributed to the seismic event. Based on the additional issues identified by the team during their walkdowns and inspections, the licensee initiated a condition report and conducted a Common Cause Analysis (CCA 000224). The scope of the CCA was to determine the reason(s) why issues were identified by the Restart Readiness Inspection Team that had not been identified previously through multiple walkdowns and inspections performed by Dominion or other personnel and implement corrective actions if determined to be appropriate. The CCA identified four barriers that were weak or had failed which contributed to the issues noted by the team. The licensee stated that their walkdowns had been focused on identification of conditions that could indicate potential seismic damage and had failed to consistently capture other issues such as material condition or housekeeping issues that the team had identified. Additionally, the licensee determined that personnel conducting structural walkdowns were looking for conditions that exceeded specific criteria which would require additional action and, as a result, were inconsistent in the documentation of conditions that could have been valuable in assessing changes to noted conditions over time or capturing the in-field assessments to provide a basis for not documenting issues. Following completion of the CCA, the licensee initiated corrective actions to address the weak or failed barriers. Specifically, the area surrounding the containment crane wall and external wall areas on both units were walked down again with enhanced guidance and direction, additional walkdowns were conducted in the main steam valve houses on both units looking for both structural as well as material condition / housekeeping issues, and the procedures used to perform the post-seismic event system walkdowns and the five-year structural inspections to identify any enhancements deemed necessary.
2 of this report lists the SSCs that were walked down by each of the NRC's inspection teams and the NAPS Resident Inspectors.
During the team's on-site inspection period, discussions were held between NRC inspectors and Dominion engineers regarding the high energy line break (HELB) analysis for the AFW system as well as the potential impact the seismic event may have had on the condition of the piping contained in the underground tunnel structure that connects the main steam valve house to the steam driven and motor driven pump rooms. As a result of these discussions, a physical inspection of each Unit's AFW underground tunnel structures was conducted by NAPS personnel on October 18, 2011. While no structural issues related to the seismic event were noted in the underground tunnel structures, Dominion personnel did identify an issue in the Unit 1 underground tunnel structure that is currently under review. In the underground tunnel, an unsealed penetration measuring 15 inches by 28 inches was identified that allowed the tunnel to communicate directly with the motor driven pump room. Following the identification of the unsealed penetration into the motor driven pump room, the licensee developed and implemented a design change to seal the opening and prevent fluids from entering the pump room. The inspectors require additional information from the licensee to determine if there is a performance deficiency. This issue will be identified as URI 05000338/2011012-01, Unsealed Penetration on Unit 1 Motor Driven Auxiliary Feedwater Pump Room.
2.2 Surveillance Testing
a. Inspection Scope
Licensee: The licensee utilized the guidance contained in EPRI NP-6695 as well as input from Dominion and industry personnel to define additional surveillance testing that would be performed prior to or during the restart of the NAPS. Unit 2 entered a refueling outage following the August 23, 2011, seismic event and a number of identified surveillance tests were already required to be performed as part of the normal restart process. The tests identified to be performed on both units were intended to demonstrate availability and operability of SSCs important to nuclear safety or required to mitigate the consequences of an accident as defined in the Update Final Safety Analysis Report (UFSAR).
NRC: The Restart Readiness Inspection Team reviewed the list of surveillance procedures developed by the licensee in addition to those required to be performed following a refueling outage to determine if adequate testing of plant SSCs was being performed. They also reviewed samples of data from surveillances performed by the licensee following the August 23, 2011, seismic event to verify that the tests met established acceptance criteria. In addition, the team observed selected testing that was performed while the team was onsite.
b. Observations and Findings
Section 5 and Table 2.1 of EPRI NP-6695 provide guidelines for shutdown inspections and tests of nuclear plant equipment and structures required for operation prior to restart of a plant shut down due to a seismic event which exceeds the OBE values. The licensee documented the methodology used in their selection of surveillance tests for Unit 1 in Engineering Technical Evaluation (ETE) ETE-NA-2011-0058 and for Unit 2 in ETE-NA-2011-0065. The licensee based the evaluations on the fact that it found no significant physical or functional damage in the plant as described in EPRI NP-6695. The EPRI guidance only recommends that those surveillances required to verify compliance with all Technical Specification (TS) Limiting Conditions for Operation (LCO) be completed. The licensee chose to expand this to include all TS surveillances as well as those surveillances that would ensure the proper operation of secondary, non-safety related and fire protection systems. The licensee identified approximately 400 surveillance tests for performance prior to and during the restart of Unit 1 and approximately 150 surveillance tests in addition to those required to support a planned post-refueling outage restart on Unit 2. The majority of the Unit 1 and Unit 2 non-refueling outage surveillance tests were performed prior to the period that the Restart Readiness Inspection Team arrived onsite. Some of the remaining tests were conducted when the team was onsite and were observed by team members. The remaining tests will be performed when plant conditions support their pre-requisites during the plant startup.
The Restart Readiness Inspection Team observed selected surveillance testing of SSCs performed by the licensee to ensure that equipment operability was demonstrated as required by TSs and licensing documents. The team also observed troubleshooting of SSCs that initially failed to meet the specified operability acceptance criteria and the subsequent retesting to ensure that the equipment was operable prior to restart, including portions of the troubleshooting associated with the load fluctuations associated with the 1J emergency diesel generator. The inspectors noted that the portions observed were completed in accordance with procedures and met station management's expectations in how the maintenance and testing activities were performed.
The Restart Readiness Inspection Team reviewed the licensee's plan for post-seismic event surveillances and did not identify any deficiencies in the methodology used to select the surveillance tests or in the test data that was reviewed; however, the team did identify that the licensee had not implemented a formal program to ensure that test data was compared to pre-seismic event data to identify potential degradation of SSCs tested. This is discussed further in Section 3.0, Performance Monitoring.
The team engaged the licensee to discuss its plans to perform flushing of additional systems to ensure that the seismic event did not cause material internal to fluid and pneumatic systems to become loose in the piping. The service water and component cooling water systems have been in continuous operation since the event and there has been no increase in differential pressure or degradation of performance since the seismic event which negates the need to perform system flushing. The licensee plans to perform a review of the surveillance data associated with the remainder of the safety-related SSCs to identify any degradation in performance and, if any is noted, flush the systems before or during plant restart.
2.3 Condition Report / Work Order Review
a. Inspection Scope
The inspection team reviewed the list of CRs and work orders that had been generated since the seismic event and coded as either "RESTART" or "EARTHQUAKE-RELATED." In addition, the team reviewed CRs that were being screened by the Condition Report Review Team (CRRT) to assess how the CRs were being evaluated and coded. The team also reviewed various lists and tools developed to track CRs assigned with these designations for consistency and to verify that appropriate connection to TS requirements were made.
b. Observations and Findings
The team attended daily CRRT meetings to observe how CRs were processed and assigned for resolution. The inspection team observed the discussions between the CRRT members to determine if a "RESTART" or "EARTHQUAKE-RELATED" classification should be designated for the issue being screened. The inspection team's assessment was that the issues being screened were given the appropriate classification and priority based on the information available to the CRRT. Through follow-up interviews, the team determined that the classification of "RESTART" meant that the licensee had designated the item as a Mode 4 start-up constraint. With this connection to Mode 4, the inspection team reviewed various lists that captured items that were coded as "RESTART." The inspection team concluded that the appropriate classification had been made for Mode 4 TS-related systems. In addition, during the CRRT meetings, the inspection team concluded that the CRRT was properly dispositioning CR issues to existing work orders in accordance with the CAP.
The team did not have any comments or issues in the licensee's processing of CRs or Work Orders with the exception of the discussion in the following section on the consistency in the initiation of CRs resulting from the post-seismic event walkdowns performed by licensee.
2.4 Corrective Action Program Implementation
a. Inspection Scope
The team assessed the licensee's implementation of the CAP through the review of Administrative Procedure PI-AA-200, Corrective Action; interviews with the licensee's staff; the review of several root cause evaluation reports; conducting system walkdowns with station engineers; and attending CRRT screening meetings.
b. Observations and Findings
The inspection team assessed how the daily processing of CRs was conducted and observed CRRT screening meetings. The team determined that the CRRT meetings were conducted in an efficient manner aided by the CRRT chairman whose extensive research performed prior to the meetings ensured that attendees had the necessary information to evaluate the CRs as they were discussed. The CRRT chairman's knowledge of each condition report allowed him to offer recommendations to the team which was then able to expeditiously address the specific issues. The expectation of the CRRT members is for them to lead the discussion on issues that originate from their organizational area; however, in many cases, the members followed the lead of the CRRT chairman without dissent. Through equal participation by all members, a more robust review can be developed on a consistent basis to address the issue. It should be noted that while this hierarchy was evident, the inspection team did not identify any issue that was inappropriately reviewed for significance or assigned for action.
The team also noted that CRs written by plant staff often included recommended actions, such as recommending that the issue be corrected through a work order. By having the initiator include this in the CR, a qualifier to the significance of the identified issue tends to be attached and crosses into the CAP screening phase which is the responsibility of the CRRT. The inspection team did observe during the screening meetings that the CRRT recognized the recommended action by the submitter as input, however they did not feel that the submitter's recommended action influenced their decision.
The inspection team identified several issues that had not been documented in the CAP (see Section 2.1, Walkdowns and Inspections). This was recognized during plant system walkdowns conducted by the NRC team in conjunction with the licensee's engineering staff. One area where issues were inconsistently documented by station personnel was in the area of cracking or spalling of concrete on plant structures. The licensee conducted plant walkdown inspections under the guidance of Procedure 0-GEP-30, Post Seismic Event System Engineering Walkdown, and as part of this procedure, guidance was provided to check for new open cracks and spalling of concrete. The CR initiation threshold for any identified cracks communicated to the inspection team members was that the crack magnitude needed to be at the value in excess of the threshold defined in EPRI NP-6695. This resulted in many cracks identified just below this EPRI magnitude that were not documented by a CR which could have been used for future evaluation of cracks to determine when they originated or how they propagated.
The inspection team also determined that some conditions adverse to quality were not consistently documented by the licensee in the CAP (either not entered or not accurately described to ensure the correct actions were taken). This practice was evident following a review of the documentation of the licensee's system walkdowns conducted prior to the team's onsite arrival was further amplified by licensee representatives on several occasions when the licensee representative asked if a CR should be written on issues which the team identified. The licensee initiated a CR as a result of the inspection team's having identified a number of items that had not been previously identified and evaluated, and the results of that CR's common cause evaluation is discussed in Section 2.1, Walkdowns and Inspections. Attachment 3 contains examples of issues identified by the Restart Readiness Inspection Team during its walkdowns, reviews of surveillance test data, or questions raised during discussions with licensee personnel that had not been previously identified or entered into the CAP for evaluation.
In addition, the team observed the management oversight of the CAP through the attendance of a Corrective Action Review Board meeting that included the review of two completed apparent cause evaluations associated with the seismic event.
In summary, the team determined that that station was generally implementing the CAP in accordance with the program's controlling documents; however, some minor issues identified during the walkdowns and inspections were not entered into the CAP on a consistent basis due to direction given to the engineers during pre-walkdown training.
3.0 Performance Monitoring
a. Inspection Scope
The licensee identified approximately 400 surveillance tests for performance prior to and during the restart of Unit 1 and approximately 150 surveillance tests in addition to those required to support a post-refueling outage restart on Unit 2 using the guidance contained in EPRI NP-6695, as well as input from Dominion and industry personnel to demonstrate operability / functionality of SSCs. Additional tests and inspections were performed to provide increased assurance that SSCs at the station had been unaffected by the seismic event.
Licensee: The bulk of the planned surveillance tests and inspections tied to plant restart were performed prior to the Restart Readiness Inspection Team arrival on site. The tests were performed once the walkdowns had been completed and any outstanding issues evaluated to ensure that the operability or functionality of the SSC was not adversely affected. The testing was conducted by operations and maintenance personnel with engineering oversight and monitoring. No issues which could be attributed to the seismic event were identified as a result of performing these tests and inspections.
NRC: The Restart Readiness Inspection Team observed the performance of selected safety-related surveillance tests that were completed while the team was onsite. The team also reviewed selected data from tests completed since the seismic event and compared the test data to surveillances that were performed prior to the seismic event to determine if any degradation had occurred or anomalies identified that required additional evaluation. In particular, operating parameters and vibration data for was reviewed by the team for the following components on both units:
- Charging Pumps
- RHR Pumps
- Recirculation Pumps
- Service Water Pumps
- Chilled Water Pumps
- Component Cooling Water Pumps
- Auxiliary Feedwater Pumps
b. Observations and Findings
The team reviewed a statistical sampling of the post-seismic event surveillance tests for the identified SSCs and verified that all were completed satisfactorily. The test data for selected components / systems was verified to meet the defined acceptance criteria with no exceptions noted.
For some of the tests, the team compared the post-seismic event data to historical data. The team identified some anomalies or adverse trends in safety-related SSC performance that had not been previously identified by the licensee and as a result had not been evaluated. Examples noted include the following:
- An increase in the vibrations of 1-CH-P-1A (Unit 1 A charging pump), 1-CH-P-1B (Unit 1 B charging pump), and all four Residual Heat Removal (RHR) pumps was identified by the team. The system engineer reviewed the data associated with these pumps and since the original data was still available on the Microlog data recorders, he was able to determine that the data had been was incorrectly copied into the data sheets and corrected the data in the database. The team reviewed the correct data and verified that no significant changes in vibrations existed; however, this had not been identified by the licensee following performance of the associated surveillance tests.
- The results of 1-PT-77.11A, Control Room Chiller 1-HV-E-4A Pump and Valve Test, which was performed on October 7, 2011, was reviewed. The team noted that 1-HV-SOV-1200A, Heat and Vent Pump SW Seal Water Supply Isolation Valve stroke time was almost four times higher than the reference value, but within its limiting stroke time. It had previously been stroked on September 16, 2011, at approximately 60 percent of the reference time. This data was presented to the System Engineer and he could not provide an immediate explanation as to the cause. Actions taken included an evaluation of the current performance of the valve and a corrective action to provide additional focus on subsequent valve strokes to ensure that performance is not degrading.
Following discussions with the Restart Readiness Inspection Tam, the licensee recognized that a formal process had not been established to compare pre- and post- seismic event test data prior to restart to ensure that any performance degradation was identified, evaluated, and appropriately addressed. The licensee was relying on the surveillance test data meeting the acceptance criteria as the basis for verifying operability / functionality of SSCs along with engineer trending which could have lagged restart by weeks according to the performance monitoring program. The licensee had not considered that a change in performance following the August 23, 2011, seismic event could be an indicator of potential SCC degradation and that reviewing test data prior to restart could provide for early detection of equipment degradation.
The expectation to evaluate pre-/post- seismic event data has been defined in a newly developed procedure, 0-GOP-13.6, Unit Restart Readiness, drafted following discussions with the team. The trending and evaluation of all test data obtained since the seismic event versus past test data will be performed by both the responsible system engineers and the in-service test pump and valve engineers prior to restart. This procedure also defines the expectation for engineers to monitor system performance as systems are placed in operation and the plant returned to service.
The station Operations Department has issued a revision to the Common Shift Orders with new performance monitoring requirements that were implemented following discussions with the Restart Readiness Inspection Team. The new requirements as stated in the Common Shift Orders are:
- "Once a major system is started or placed in service, it will require that both an operator and system engineer perform a system walkdown and document the walkdown in the control room narrative logs." * "Whenever a system is started or a periodic test (PT) is performed, an entry in the control room narrative logs shall be made indicating that all conditions are normal."
- "When equipment covered by Tech Specs or the Technical Requirements Manual is placed in service, vibration readings shall be obtained even if not required by the controlling procedure in order to document the condition of station equipment following the seismic event."
The team determined that following the implementation of the 0-GOP-13.6 guidance and the enhanced Common Shift Orders that the licensee's assessment of plant performance during and following plant restart will provide assurance that changes in SSC characteristics will be identified and evaluated in a timely manner.
4.0. Formal Action Item Tracking to Support Restart The licensee has identified a number of actions that have been tied to restart of the NAPS following the August 23, 2011, seismic event. Some of these actions were identified as formal commitments to the NRC as part of the Virginia Electric Power Company (Dominion) North Anna Restart Readiness Determination Plan (11-520 and 11-520A) while others were developed as a result of plant walkdowns, inspections, and evaluations that have been performed or in response to Requests for Additional Information (RAI) received from the NRC.
a. Inspection Scope
The Restart Readiness Inspection Team reviewed the formal commitments made by the licensee as part of the North Anna Restart Readiness Determination Plan as well as the actions contained in the RAI responses provided to the NRC since the event (August 23, 2011) up through the start of the Restart Readiness Inspection (October 4, 2011) . The Dominion Commitment Tracking System (CTS) database was reviewed to verify that the actions were being tracked as required by the licensee's CTS program. The team also conducted interviews with personnel responsible for the implementation of the CTS.
b. Observations and Findings
Following the team's initial review of the licensee's CTS database, the inspectors identified that none of the formal commitments identified as "Near Term Actions to be Completed Prior to Unit Restart" had been entered into the CTS as required by Administrative Procedure OI-AA-110, Commitment Management. In addition, one of the formal commitments identified as "Long Term Actions to be Completed After Unit Restart" had not been entered. Following discussions with the licensee, these omissions were recognized and the missing commitments were entered into the CTS for tracking as required. The team subsequently verified that all formal commitments made in the North Anna Restart Readiness Determination Plan were entered into the Dominion CTS as required by the fleet program implementing procedure.
One of the formal commitments submitted by the licensee was to revise Procedure AP-36, Seismic Event, to address issues identified during the August 23, 2011, seismic event. The changes were made as required; however, the team determined that the licensee had failed to follow it's programmatic requirements of flagging the changes as being tied to a formal commitment which could have resulted in the changes to AP-36 being deleted or modified without the required level of review. The licensee took actions to identify the commitment-driven changes on the procedure revision index to prevent inadvertent changes from occurring.
The licensee has also entered most actions contained in the RAI responses into the CTS and planned to continue this practice as additional RAI's were received. While this action was not programmatically required because the RAI responses were not considered to be formal commitments, the licensee entered them into the CTS to provide an additional barrier to ensure that the actions were not inadvertently rescheduled or canceled. The team reviewed selected actions taken to address both the formal commitments and the actions defined in the RAI responses to verify that the actions were complete when indicated by the tracking tool and independently inspected the actions that had been used to satisfy the item in the CTS program.
4 provides a list of the actions contained in the CTS taken or planned by the licensee at the time the Restart Readiness Inspection Team was onsite.
5.0. Root Cause Evaluations Following the August 23, 2011, seismic event, the licensee identified two issues that warranted formal Root Cause Evaluations (RCEs) to determine the underlying causes and identify any necessary corrective actions. The events that were evaluated under the RCE process were 1) the dual unit trip following the magnitude 5.8 earthquake and 2) the failure of the 2H emergency diesel generator during the loss of offsite power. In addition to the review of the written report narratives, the inspectors interviewed the CRRT chairman to understand the root cause evaluation process, and held telephone communications with the responsible manager of the root cause evaluations and some of the team members that had performed each of the root cause evaluations reviewed by the Restart Readiness Inspection Team.
5.1 Root Cause Evaluation RCE001061, Dual Unit Trip Following Magnitude 5.8 Earthquake
a. Inspection Scope
Root Cause Evaluation RCE001061, Dual Unit Trip Following Magnitude 5.8 Earthquake (CR439052), was reviewed for the licensee's investigative analysis of the seismic event for the CAP. In addition to the review of the written report narrative, the inspectors interviewed the CRRT chairman to understand the root cause evaluation process, and held telephone communications with the responsible manager of the root cause evaluations and some of the team members.
b. Observations and Findings
The problem statement includes two specific attributes, "identify the cause for the reactor trips on NAPS Unit 1 and Unit 2," and "evaluate the response of the organization to the event." The predominant investigative methodology of the root cause evaluation was focused on the cause of the reactor trips. The selection of a broader problem statement attribute, such as the loss of offsite power (LOOP), would have expanded the investigative analysis methodology. A broader root cause evaluation methodology could have included, for example, failures of the sudden pressure relays for the reserve station transformers and the gasket failure of the 2H emergency diesel generator. The potential for corrective actions to prevent recurrence (CAPRs) and contributing causes were not fully investigated because the bounding conclusion was that the reactor trip circuitry of the power range high flux reactor trip actuated as expected based on the conditions that existed. The RCE identifies Enhancement EH14 to determine if robust design improvements could be implemented for components associated with the LOOP. This corrective action is intended to evaluate what improvements may be done to minimize complications of a LOOP event and then implement those improvements. This assignment will be tracked by Condition Report 444602 with a significance level of "3". Significance level "3" events occur while operating a power station that can be corrected through normal processes and procedures. This enhancement was directed by the Corrective Action Review Board (CARB) that provides management oversight of the program. Enhancement EH14 would have been investigated with a broader problem statement and could have been the source of a CAPR.
The investigative methodology for the response of the organization employs fish-bone charting in accordance with PI-AA-300-3004, Cause Evaluation Methods, Attachment 6.
Fish-bone charting is generic, and as cautioned in Attachment 6, the majority of evaluations require the verification of data through the use of additional root cause techniques. The fish-bone charting investigative analysis of the response of the organization identified six programmatic deficiencies. With the large number of deficiencies identified to consider for investigation and the lack of employing another root cause technique, the licensee limited its potential to identify contributing causes.
The team's assessment of Root Cause Evaluation RCE001061 was that the investigative analysis methodology focused on the cause of the reactor trips which limited the breadth of the investigation on the complications from the LOOP event.
Following discussions between the team and the licensee, CARB assigned a corrective action to evaluate what additional actions were warranted to minimize complications of a LOOP event.
5.2 Root Cause Evaluation RCE001062, 2H Diesel Failure During the Loss of Offsite Power
a. Inspection Scope
Root Cause Evaluation RCE001062, 2H Diesel Failure During the Loss of Offsite Power, was reviewed for the licensee's investigative analysis of the seismic event for the CAP. In addition to the review of the written report narrative, the inspectors interviewed the CRRT chairman to understand the RCE process, and held telephone communications with the responsible manager of the root cause evaluations and some of the team members.
b. Observations and Findings
On August 23, 2011, at approximately 1350 hours0.0156 days <br />0.375 hours <br />0.00223 weeks <br />5.13675e-4 months <br />, the station loss offsite power as a result of a seismic event. A dual unit trip occurred with the automatic start of the four diesel generators that loaded to the emergency buses as designed. At approximately 1440 hours0.0167 days <br />0.4 hours <br />0.00238 weeks <br />5.4792e-4 months <br />, an operator manually tripped the 2H emergency diesel generator due to an excessive leak from a mechanical joint. The problem statement was to identify the root cause for the coolant leak and the equipment failure mechanism or human performance initiating action which resulted in the failure of the jacket water mechanical joint. The RCE documents in Section 2.2.3, Earthquake Impact, that the cause of the gasket failure was attributed to the over-tightening of the adjusting nut and jam nut on the inlet fitting.
Further, the evaluation states that the joint was not identified as leaking for over 30 minutes after the seismic event had passed. Thus, the seismic event did not impact the support of the inlet fitting and cause the leak. In addition, the evaluation documents that the RCE team concluded the seismic event did not cause the failure of the gasket. The gasket was in a slow step progression to eventual failure months prior to the seismic event. On October 11, 2011, a meeting was held with the responsible manager for the RCE, some of the RCE team members and the Director, Nuclear Safety and Licensing, to communicate the inspectors' observations on both RCEs. The inspectors learned of two perspectives that the RCE team determined through investigative analysis. One was the perspective that because the gasket failure did not occur during the actual duration of when the seismic event was happening, there was no impact from the seismic event on the gasket failure. The second perspective was the importance that the RCE team placed on the NES Materials Engineering Laboratory identification of beachmark lines on one side of the failed gasket. The laboratory report's conclusion documented that the beachmark lines in the sealant along the failed segment suggested that relative movement of the gasket had occurred within the joint, eventually resulting in deformation of the gasket from pressure within the joint. These two perspectives were the primary basis to support that there was no impact from the seismic event on the failed gasket. The inspectors viewed the two perspectives as not definitive evidence that the gasket failed over a slow progression from PT test loading to the next PT test. The inspectors' review also integrated the perspective that the RCE team did not consider all available information. This perspective is further discussed in the following paragraphs. The inspectors concluded that the deformation could have occurred as localized slippage or a blowout condition, using the Newport News Shipbuilding Laboratory Analysis Report 100085904 to support that basis.
Root Cause Evaluation RCE001062 was reviewed by the inspectors to ensure that all available information was considered during the investigative analysis of the gasket failure. This RCE approach would support a reasonable conclusion on the level of impact from the seismic event, if any, so corrective action could be appropriately developed. The inspector identified the following data that was not specifically identified as being part of the RCE.
- The 2H emergency diesel generator (EDG) loading profile during the event from connecting to the bus until the diesel was manually tripped
- The Newport News Shipbuilding Laboratory Analysis Report documented the following:
o Photographs showed the failure was limited to the distorted gasket region and was suggestive of localized slippage or blow out.
o Common causes included improper fit due to misalignment, inadequate/uneven torque or system pressure.
o One-component silicone RTVs generally require atmospheric moisture for full cure. Delayed or insufficiently cured RTV acts as a lubricant and has been demonstrated to be a cause of gasket blow out in other instances.
o RTV silicone may have assisted failure.
- The quality level for the procurement of the Garlock BLUE-GARD 3000 gasket and the RTV sealant. This observation is support in Section 2.10, Equipment Reliability/PM Adequacy, under parts/vendor quality, where the question, "are there any concerns with the quality of parts?" is responded to from a maintenance performance perspective instead of from a quality assurance Appendix B perspective.
The team's assessment of Root Cause Evaluation RCE001062 was that all of the available information applicable to the 2H EDG gasket failure had not been included in the investigative analysis. By not including this information and evaluating if it could have contributed to the failure of the gasket, the conclusion that the failure was not seismically induced was brought into question. The licensee reviewed the questions raised by the team and enhanced the RCE on the 2H EDG leak to address the additional information that had not been factored into the original evaluation. While the new information did result in additional actions, the conclusion that the leak was unrelated to the seismic event was unchanged. The Restart Readiness Inspection Team concurred with that conclusion. The gasket issue is being addressed to via the baseline inspection program and will be documented in a future resident inspector quarterly inspection report. 6.0. Use of Operating Experience The use of operating experience from both internal and external sources is a key element in evaluating events and defining corrective actions at nuclear power plants.
This information can come from other utilities through direct contact, from shared databases such as those administrated by INPO and the NRC, energy-related research firms, or even searches of material found on the internet, as well as internal sources. Incorporating this information into activities such as the response to the seismic event experienced by the NAPS plays an important role in ensuring that a comprehensive plan is developed and implemented through incorporation of the lessons others have shared based on previous experiences that have similarity or relevance to the specific event.
The licensee contacted several sources immediately following the seismic event and requested procedures and other documents that could be of use to Dominion personnel. Shortly after requesting the information, the licensee received a procedure from a nuclear utility located in an area of seismic activity and used this in the development of the SSC walkdown program procedure (0-GEP-30) and the associated training material, for use in the identification of areas to inspect and in the definition of acceptance criteria used in walkdowns and inspections. Additional material associated with recommended inspections or walkdowns following a seismic event was received over a four week period from various sources.
a. Inspection Scope
The team reviewed material that had been developed by the licensee since the August 23, 2011, seismic event, including the SSC walkdown procedure, training material provided to system and structural engineers, structural inspection plans, and selection criteria for expanded inspection on SSCs such as steam generators, snubbers, and supports.
Material provided by the licensee that was reviewed by the team included inspection procedures and training material from other utilities that had experienced a seismic event or were in areas which were susceptible to seismic activity and reports and guidance documents from EPRI. This included information more recent than the 1989 EPRI NP-6695 document and was based on seismic events that affected nuclear plants in Japan in the 2003 - 2007 time frame as well as other seismic events that impacted non-nuclear power production facilities at locations around the world since the early 1980s. Some of the reports focused on SSCs that should be considered for inspection based on their vulnerability for containing hidden damage and recommended inspections to identify this damage.
b. Observations and Findings
The licensee utilized a procedure from a single utility in a high seismic activity area as a guide to develop its SSC walkdown procedure, 0-GEP-30, and the associated training material following the August 23, 2011, seismic event. The team's assessment of the training that was provided is contained in Section 2.1 of this report. Additional information was available from other sources, including utilities and EPRI, that could have been used in the development of both the walkdown procedures and the training sessions to provide more direction to the engineers conducting the inspections. The licensee intended to enhance both products with information from outside as well as the NAPS walkdowns for future use. Procedure PI-AA-100-107, Operating Experience Program, provides direction to use operating experience in developing or revising procedures, training activities, root and apparent causes and Infrequently Conducted or Complex Evolutions (ICCEs); however, the material received following the completion of the system walkdowns by Dominion personnel using the 0-GEP-30 guidance was not reviewed for possible incorporation as described in the PI-AA-100-107 procedure. Following discussions with the team, the licensee is planning to perform a review of all material received from outside sources to determine if any revisions to plant documents and training material are required and if the performance of supplemental walkdowns are warranted.
The licensee had members of their Transmission group visit the area surrounding the Fukishima Dai-Ichi nuclear plant following the March 11, 2011, Thoku earthquake and tsunami to assist in the assessment of the electrical switchyard and surrounding transmission grid. Shortly after the August 23, 2011, seismic event that affected the Dominion service area, this operating experience was incorporated into the inspections that were defined for the North Anna site as well as the transmission grid and substations in the surrounding area. This demonstrated an effective application of operating experience from outside of the Dominion organization in the assessment of equipment that could have been impacted by the seismic event.
7.0 Unresolved Item Review The Augmented Inspection Team identified seven Unresolved Items (URIs) that were documented in the team's inspection report. The following section provides a status of the individual issues and if the corrective actions have been completed to support plant restart. With the exception of the one URI that is being closed in this report, the disposition of the remaining URIs in terms of determining if a performance deficiency existed and if regulatory enforcement is warranted will be addressed in future resident inspector quarterly inspection reports.
URI 05000338, 339/2011011-01; Seismic Instrumentation Implementation The AIT report documented several issues related to the seismic monitoring equipment at the North Anna Power Station. Some of the issues are being addressed on a longer-term schedule and have generic implications to the nuclear industry but do not impact the current ability of the NAPS to detect and respond to a seismic event. Other issues have been addressed through issuance of corrected drawings, additional training for operations and instrumentation and control (I&C) personnel, and revision of plant procedures used to respond to a seismic event.
The inspectors determined that the licensee had taken appropriate actions to address the issue and documented it in the CAP program. No restart concerns were identified.
URI 05000338, 339/2011011-02; Failure of 2H Emergency Diesel Generator Jacket Water Cooling Gasket Resulting in Inoperability during Dual Unit LOOP The licensee performed a RCE on the failure of the 2H EDG following the loss of offsite power. The Restart Readiness Inspection Team's assessment of the RCE is documented in Section 5.2 of this report. The licensee has implemented the following immediate corrective actions in response to the failure:
- The failed gasket on the 2H EDG was replaced utilizing revised maintenance instructions and the EDG was subsequently tested under a 24-hour loaded run to verify operability
- The gaskets on all of the EDGs at the NAPS were inspected, retorqued, and then inspected using a boroscope to verify that they were properly positioned to prevent leakage from the jacket water system
- All of the EDGs at the station have been tested successfully since the seismic event and subsequent maintenance and inspections
- The maintenance procedures have been revised to include specific guidance on the application of the RTV sealant and the installation of the Garlock Blue-Guard 3000 gasket material Based on the actions taken by the licensee on all four EDGs at the station, the team concurred with the licensee's position that the cause of the failure was identified and that adequate corrective actions were taken to preclude a similar failure in the future. The inspectors determined that the licensee had taken appropriate actions to address the issue and documented it in its CAP program. No restart concerns were identified.
URI 05000338, 339/2011011-03; Missing Orifice Plate on 1J and 2J EDG The licensee conducted walkdowns and inspections of all four EDGs to evaluate the status of the orifice plate on the engine-driven coolant pump located on the Opposite Control Side (OCS) that was found missing on the 1J EDG. An additional orifice plate was found to be missing at the same location on the 2J EDG following these inspections.
The licensee performed an engineering evaluation using previous test data and has stated that there is no immediate concern with the 1J EDG and 2J EDG performing their design functions with the orifice plate not installed; however, the licensee has installed the missing orifice plates using the enhanced maintenance procedures developed following the seismic event. Operability Determinations OD443 and OD444 were developed to support the position that the 1J and 2J EDGs were fully operable without the orifice plates installed; however, as stated above, the plates were installed on both EDGs prior to restart. Both of the EDGs have been run using the surveillance test procedure and no issues were identified. An Apparent Cause Evaluation (ACE18836) has been completed which develops additional corrective actions associated with the maintenance practices and procedures used on the EDGs which will be implemented prior to the next time the EDGs will be worked on to ensure the enhanced guidance and other actions are in place.
The inspectors determined that the licensee had taken appropriate actions to address the issue and documented it in its CAP program. No restart concerns were identified.
URI 05000338, 339/2011011-04; 1J EDG Frequency Oscillation The licensee performed troubleshooting following the identification of the frequency oscillations and has corrected the condition. Replacement of components and tuning by station and vendor personnel resulted in the 1J EDG successfully completing a post-maintenance run during which the frequency remained constant without any manual intervention. Based on the actions taken by the licensee on the 1J EDG governor sub-system and the testing observed by the Restart Readiness Inspection Team, the team concurred with the licensee's position that the cause of the frequency oscillations was identified and that adequate corrective actions were taken to address the issue. No restart concerns were identified.
URI 05000338, 339/2011011-06; Seismic Alarm Panel Following the seismic event, the licensee installed a temporary uninterruptible power supply (UPS) to ensure that the seismic monitoring panel and its associated alarms that are used to determine if an emergency plan entry is required will remain operable during periods where power is being transferred between the normal supply and the semi-vital bus. While the long-term corrective action calls for the UPS to be replaced with a different configuration, the immediate issue has been addressed and functionally tested.
The licensee is also looking into upgrading the existing seismic monitoring system as a long term option.
The inspectors determined that the licensee had taken appropriate actions to address the issue and documented it in its CAP program. No restart concerns were identified.
URI 05000338, 339/2011011-07; Safety-Related Instrumentation Anomalies The licensee performed an evaluation of all alarms received during and following the seismic event to determine if the alarms were valid and if alarms were received that should have been based on actual conditions as part of the RCE on the dual unit reactor trip. The licensee's assessment showed that all of the data points and alarms received were valid and that equipment operated as expected with the exception of five points that are discussed below. These are different than the points listed in Section 8.1 of the AIT report; however, the licensee has confirmed that all points other than those listed below functioned properly. The licensee's subsequent evaluation into the response of these points determined the following:
- Unit 1 and 2 RWST Chemical Addition Tank Low Temperature: The loops that provide indication and alarm are powered from the semi-vital bus. The sequence-of-events recorder indicated an alarm condition for both units that corresponded to the loss of the semi-vital bus and then reset when the bus was subsequently re-energized. These points functioned as designed.
- Unit 1 and 2 Loop 1C High Delta-T Deviation: Through the comparison of computer points, the licensee confirmed that the alarms received were valid for existing plant conditions and the points functioned as designed.
- Fire Water System Initiation: There are no computer indications or recorders to verify the alarm that was received; however Operations stated that the Fire Water System did initiate and therefore, the event was valid. A sprinkler head in the Turbine Building was knocked off during the seismic event that actuated the fire protection system and, as such, the alarm functioned as designed.
The inspectors determined that the licensee had taken appropriate actions to address the issue and documented it in its CAP program. No restart concerns were identified.
(Closed) URI 05000338, 339/2011011-05: Unit 1 Turbine-Driven Auxiliary Feedwater Pump Trouble Alarm The AIT observed that procedure 1-AR-F-D8,Turbine driven AFW pump trouble or lube oil trouble, did not state that the low lube oil level switch was powered from non-vital power.
As a result, during the LOOP, the alarm stayed lit. The procedure required maintenance to add oil when the turbine lube oil level is low, but does not state that during a LOOP, the level switch will lose power and the alarm will stay lit. During interviews, operators were unsure as to why the alarm was lit and therefore required additional troubleshooting during the event. This resulted in a short delay in the alignment of the Unit 1 terry turbine AFW pump to the steam generator. An unresolved item was opened pending completion of this review.
The Restart Readiness Inspection Team discussed the event with representatives of Operations and Training. The licensee did confirm that the alarm was received in the Control Room following the loss of off-site power because the alarm power is not supplied by a safety-related bus. This was not understood by the plant at the time because no one had specifically verified that this alarm's power supply and no one understood the significance of the power supply. Therefore, the simulator did not model the plant, the Operators were not trained to expect this alarm on a loss of offsite power, and the annunciator response procedure was never updated. The licensee has corrected the simulator modeling and updated the annunciator response procedures as a result of this issue's resolution.
The inspectors determined that the licensee had multiple opportunities to identify the deficiency during the procedure revision process and the tagout process. The finding is considered minor because the deficiency did not significantly affect the operators' response to the transient.
Feedwater restoration to the "A" Steam Generator was delayed less than ten minutes. Level did not go below 25 percent Wide Range, and the other two steam generators continued to have adequate feed during the event. Additionally, the licensee completed prompt actions to correct both identified deficiencies. This failure constitutes a finding of minor significance that is not subject to enforcement action in accordance with the NRCs Enforcement Policy. This URI is closed. The inspectors determined that the licensee had taken appropriate actions to address the issue and documented it in its CAP program. No restart concerns were identified.

MATERIAL CONDITION ISSUES DESCRIPTION CR / WORESOLUTION INFORMATIONSTATUSUNIT 1: Main steam valve house, large chipped areas were noted on some missile shield blocks CR 447657 WO 59102382469 Upon detailed inspection by the licensee it was determined that the east center missile block was degraded with numerous large spalls
and rebar exposed. This missile block will require a new missile
block be constructed to replace the degraded one due to the extent
of the damage. The other two center missile blocks do not have the extent of damage the center east one has and will only require grout repair. The degradation is typical of damage from removal /
installation of missile blocks during outage maintenance. Some
spalling may have been exacerbated by the August earthquake,
however, most of the areas appear to be older damage. The Unit 1
Main Steam Valve House continues to provide its design function with the missile blocks in this condition and repair is not required prior to plant start-up. The Restart Readiness Inspection Team

this issue. CLOSED Main steam valve house, concrete found spalled around Unit 1 Main Steam Valve House Door CR 447241 WO 59102379388 The licensee stated that the condition does not affect the function of the Unit 1 main steam valve house. A WO was initiated to address the condition. The Restart Readiness Inspection Team concurred with the licensee's actions to address this issue. CLOSED Steam generator support was found to have what appeared to be dye penetrant
developer on the paint which would invalidate
any NDE test that may have been performed CR 448171 Certain welds on the SG supports are in the ISI Augmented Program with a VT-1 exam. The welds near the areas where the developer
was noted are not in the ISI Program. The licensee stated that the
staining appears to be PT staining from someone staging their PT
equipment in that area when performing PT's on adjacent piping. Note there was other PT staining on the floor and SG support structure within 4 feet of this area that had a similar appearance.
There was no cracking in the paint. Cleaning was attempted using
cleaner/remover after inspecting the area but could not completely
remove the stain. The Restart Readiness Inspection Team
concurred with the licensee's assessment of this issue. CLOSED Indications of a possible boric acid leak were noted on a section of the spent fuel pool cooling pipe above the heat exchangers

cracks were previously noted by system engineering and inspected
by civil engineering 5-7 years ago. The cracks were discussed with the NRC prior to performing a walk down of the LW system. The NRC recommended documenting the issue in case of another

Attachment 3 POTENTIAL SESIMIC ISSUES / QUESTIONSDESCRIPTION CR / WORESOLUTION INFORMATIONSTATUSUNIT 1: Spacer Plates on the Unit 1 Reactor head were found to have light shining through (see
Unit 2 issue under CR447386). This may be indivative a loose jam nuts securing the seismic spacer plates on the upper section of
the CRDM's.
CR 447683 WO 59102382441 The licensee evaluated this issue and developed the following information. In the cold condition, the Reactor CRDM seismic
support structure is designed to have gaps between adjacent seismic spacer plates and between CRDM support plates and the adjustable support end bumper. The total gap ranges between
0.875" and 1.22" depending on the number of CRDMs in the
particular row. The gap between the outer CRDMs support plates
and the support end bumpers are set at 0.25" to accommodate the thermal growth of the reactor head and growth due to RCS internal pressure during unit operation. The additional gap between
adjacent support plates assists in dampening CRDM vibrations.
The Reactor CRDM seismic support platform spacer plates and the
support end bumpers were inspected on 10/9/11 by Engineering and Maintenance. The seismic plates were noted to be aligned with no overlapping plates observed. Performed a total gap inspection of
each row of seismic plates in two orthogonal directions. The total
gap inspection was conducted from one end of a seismic plate row
by pushing all seismic plates in a particular row against the far screw
pad. The gap between the closest seismic plate and screw pad was then visually estimated. Overall gaps for each row were estimated to vary from 3/4" to 1". No loose jam nuts were found and the
condition of the paint on the screw pads and jam nuts appeared
undisturbed. The seismic plates were noted to be in an orderly
alignment. Measuring tapes/rulers were not used during this
inspection due to the lack of accessibility to the area.
Based on the reported condition and estimated total gap dimensions
between the spacer plates and the support end bumpers, the
Reactor CRDM seismic support platform is acceptable as-is for
continued operation. The estimated total overall gap exceeds the minimum required to accommodate thermal/pressure expansion of the reactor head. Also, from the reported condition of the paint on
the support end bumpers and their associated jam nuts and
confirmed tightness of the jam nuts on the adjustable support end
bumpers, (each jam nut was checked for tightness by hand during
10/9/11 inspection and re-confirmed on 10/17/11), there is no CLOSED

Attachment 3 evidence that the support gaps have been altered from their original installation settings.
A work order has been initiated to inspect the gaps and make adjustments as-necessary during the next Unit 1 refueling outage. This action is desired only to confirm that current gap settings
'precisely' match the design drawings. Based on the licensee's
evaluation performed in ETE-NA-2011-1002 using Unit 2's
measured gap data, it was concluded that the as-found gaps for
both Unit 1 and Unit 2 were acceptable, and there is no concern that the CRDM assemblies, seismic support or Reactor Head Penetrations would be overstressed or overloaded as a result of a
seismic event. Observations performed by licensee personnel
confirmed that the measured Unit 2 gaps enveloped the Unit 1 gaps
and it was physically verified that no jam nuts were loose on Unit 1.
On this basis, the licensee determined that there was no imminent need to perform precise measurements on Unit 1; however, the gaps will be verified to match the design drawings on Unit 1 during
the next refueling outage when safe access will be available. The
basis for this position is contained in ETE-NA-2011-1002 and has
been reviewed by the Restart Readiness Inspection Team with no issues noted. Insulation found damaged in Unit 1 Containment near a crane wall penetration` CR 447272 WO 59102379409 The licensee's Engineering group investigated the concern and determined the dented insulation was not due to the seismic event.
All supports were inspected and no distress was observed on the
supports. There was no distress to the side of the penetration in the
area of the insulation damage and the supporting configuration
would not allow pipe movement necessary to cause damage to the insulation. Based on field walkdowns performed by Secondary Systems and Civil Engineering, the licensee found no evidence of
damage or deformation in any of the adjacent spring support
snubbers or the branch line located closer to the 'B' Steam
Generator. The issue has been closed to a WO which will repair the
damage to the insulation. Following the licensee providing additional verification that the snubbers and supports in the area of the damaged insulation did not exhibit any signs of distress, the
Restart Readiness Inspection Team concurred with the licensee's
assessment of this issue. CLOSED

Attachment 3 POTENTIAL SESIMIC ISSUES / QUESTIONSDESCRIPTION CR / WORESOLUTION INFORMATIONSTATUSUNIT 1: Loose metal insulation and slight cracking on wall CR 446469 WO 59102376756 The licensee initiated a WO to repair the damaged insulation. Civil Engineering was consulted to assess the hair line crack (<0.06"
threshold) and it was evaluated to be inconsequential for the non-safety related steam drain header piping in the area noted. The hair line cracks are not structurally significant and do not require repair.
It is not possible to tell for sure whether the wall cracks were caused
by the August earthquake; however, the licensee did not document
them during walkdowns as they were deemed to not be functional damage. The Restart Readiness Inspection Team concurred with the licensee's assessment of this issue. CLOSED CRDM seismic restraints at the upper end of the rod travel housing have not been
adequately inspected for clearances and jam
nut tightness that may allow movement during
a seismic event. A similar issue has been identified on Unit 2 CR 446711 WO 59102378464 A Corrective Action (CA215365) assigned to Engineering evaluated the CRDM Seismic support platform including the issues

Attachment 3 POTENTIAL SESIMIC ISSUES / QUESTIONSDESCRIPTION CR / WORESOLUTION INFORMATIONSTATUSUNIT 2: "C" main steam spring support riser appears to be damaged and observed out of plumb CR 447386 The licensee walked down the hanger and identified it as 2-SHP-SH-48 shown on support drawing 12050-PSSK-101D.01. They
determined that the spring rod had approximately 3/8" clearance to the spring can. They verified the load at 9650# which is within +/-10% of the cold load of 10,161#. In addition verified the other
spring hanger with the same cold load. As the spring loads are
within allowable values and there is no physical contact causing
friction loads, the spring is fully functional in this condition and requires no CA. There is no apparent relationship between the hanger condition and the August earthquake. There is no indication
that there was any shifting of the support structure, the piping, or the
spring can itself. The licensee stated that this appears to have been
installed in this condition. As the spring loads are within allowable
and there is no physical contact causing friction loads, the spring is fully functional in this condition and requires no corrective action. In addition, the licensee inspected the internals of the spring can with
external lighting as well as adjacent spring cans and did not identify
any internal damage to the components. Following additional
discussion which provided verification that the spring was not broken
inside the can, the Restart Readiness Inspection Team concurred with the licensee's assessment of this issue. CLOSED Shims on the steam generator supports were found to be out of position on all steam
generators CR 447283 The licensee performed an evaluation of the acceptability of the displaced shims as well as the possibility of the shims falling out.
The location of the shims was determined to have been acceptable
as found, and would not have hindered the steam generator support
foot from performing its designed function due to the large factor of
safety for the steam generator support feet.
The licensee performed a follow-up inspection on all 3 steam
generators in both Units. The inspection found that the shims were
captured by retainer clips preventing the shims from displacing and
falling out. These were extremely difficult to see due to their location so close to the steam generator body and they are not obvious details on design drawings, which is why they had not been
previously identified during discussions with the Restart Readiness

RESTART READINESS INSPECTION TEAM IDENTIFIED ISSUES / QUESTIONS AND THEIR RESOLUTION / STATUS
Attachment 3 The licensee stated that based on the fact that no other shims were found to be out of position and the fact that the shim in question had
to be broken free from the rust, it is likely that this shim had been
displaced long before the August earthquake. This evaluation was reviewed by the Restart Readiness Inspection Team and no additional issues were identified. Main steam valve house - Screen frames
showed signs of having been pulled from the
wall and the bolting was missing (appears
recent) CR 447551 WO 59102381554 The licensee stated that the function of the Unit 2 Main Steam Valve House is not affected by this discrepancy. From their inspection, the
screen is relatively light mass and would not be expected to
generate significant loading during a seismic event. The missing
bolts are all at locations where the bolt holes do not line up and were therefore, most likely not installed when the screen was last removed. Based on the low seismic loading, the lack of damage to
the screens, and the fact that the missing bolts were not found, it
does not appear possible that the missing bolts were caused by the
August earthquake. The Restart Readiness Inspection Team
concurred with the licensee's assessment of this issue. CLOSED Main steam valve house, Gaps in excess of 0.5 inches were noted along the intersection of the north wall and the ceiling and corners

CR 447542
WO 59102381527 WO 59102382406
WO 59102382121 Per Engineering inspection, the gap was found to be acceptable. The Styrofoam referenced in the CR is Rodofoam which was used during construction to maintain designed seismic rattlespace gaps
between concrete placements. The fact that there is a gap between
the foam and adjacent structure does not adversely affect the
structural stability of either structure on either side of the rattlespace nor does this gap adversely affect the seismic rattlespace. WO's have been initiated to drive repairs to Rodofoam / grout per normal
schedule. This was determined to not be a start-up issue. The
Restart Readiness Inspection Team concurred with the licensee's
assessment of this issue. CLOSED

Attachment 3 POTENTIAL SESIMIC ISSUES / QUESTIONSDESCRIPTION CR / WORESOLUTION INFORMATIONSTATUSUNIT 2: The status of the main steam safety valves lifting during the seismic event needs to be
determined CR 447009 The licensee stated that after a detailed review, it was confirmed that the Main Steam Safety Valve (MSSV) "not full closed"
indications were only seen on Unit 2 valves. Following discussions conducted by the licensee between the Shift Technical Advisor, Engineering and I&C, it has been concluded
that the 15 safety valves in question (5 per Steam Generator) did
not actually open but were a momentary anomalous indication.
This conclusion was based on the following: 1) All valves indicated opening well before their setpoints were reached, 2) The "B" S/G valves were all tested satisfactorily following the event, and 3) No
decrease or change in overall trend of steam pressure was noted
at the time that the safety valves indicated "not full closed".
No alternate indication supports that the MSSVs opened. The PCS trace for Main Steam Pressure response during the time that indications for MSSVs alternately indicated open and closed. The
response shown is as expected for a Unit Trip with steam release
through the Atmospheric Dump Valves (ADVs). No indication is
given that pressure rose to the MSSV setpoint (1085psig for first
MSSV, 1135psig for the last MSSV), or dropped as a result of opening at any point that would back up MSSVs alternately opening and closing. For additional confidence, Work Orders were
issued to perform a sampling of calibration procedures for both
Unit 1 and Unit 2 MSSV Flow Switches. These work orders
verified function of the instrument loops from flow switch to PCS
indication points and all work orders were completed SAT.

Attachment 3 POTENTIAL SESIMIC ISSUES / QUESTIONSDESCRIPTION CR / WORESOLUTION INFORMATIONSTATUSUNIT 2: Two integral attachment welds have apparent indications on the containment
recirculation spray heat exchanger floor mounted integral support attachments were identified, follow-up required CR 447366 WO 59102382252 The licensee's inspection of the stitch welds found no visual evidence of weld cracks. However, the three indicated welds were
found to have rust discoloration deposits due to surface corrosion of the associated carbon steel structural steel. The carbon steel structural supports at this location are stitch welded to the
stainless steel Recirculation Spray heat exchanger (RSHX). The
exposed portion of carbon steel that mates up to the RSHX and is
not welded cannot be coated and has minor surface corrosion that has deposited onto the surface of the stitch weld below at all three locations. Most of the surface deposit was able to be removed by
hand and was not found to have adversely affected the structural
integrity of the associated weld or coatings. Civil DEO has no
structural concerns with the `D' RSHX support at this location or
any of the supports of similar design for the `A', `B', or `C' RSHX's at Elev. 241'. Following additional discussion with the licensee, that provided reasonable assurance that the wall of the heat
exchanger was not impacted by the potential indication noted in
the field, the Restart Readiness Inspection Team concurred with
the licensee's assessment of this issue. CLOSED Snubber support 2-FW-HSS-234 on the feedwater systems was found with spalled concrete where it attached to the wall CR 447812 WO 59102383067 This condition may have been caused by the August earthquake or the subsequent Feedwater isolation causing the snubber to lock and load the support. It is not clear whether this is new spalling or an existing condition. The spalling was minor and associated with
the cantilevered section of the support and not the insert plate. It
does not affect the function of the support, but should be repaired.
2-FW-HSS-234 remains functional in this condition and no
immediate repair is required. The Restart Readiness Inspection Team concurred with the licensee's assessment of this issue. CLOSED 1" \ RCS high point vent line was found displaced from its pipe support, 'B' loop room CR 446769 The licensee performed an assessment of the as-found condition at the time of submittal of CR446769, which was provided to the
NRC on 10/14/11. As indicated in this CR, the line in question
was 3/4"-VA-402-154; it is high point vent line downstream of 2-
RC-48. The line is currently attached to the RCS by a flexible spool piece but will be disconnected when the unit is preparing to go on-line. To further clarify information provided in CR446769,
this line was also inspected prior to being connected to the RCS
as part of the post seismic event walkdowns, at which time it was CLOSED
RESTART READINESS INSPECTION TEAM IDENTIFIED ISSUES / QUESTIONS AND THEIR RESOLUTION / STATUS
Attachment 3 found to be properly supported. Therefore, it was concluded that temporary vent line 3/4"-VA-402-154 became dislodged from the
support as describe above during installation and connection to
the RCS via the temporary spool piece. The discussion in the CR relates to the acceptability of the as-found condition of the vent line during the period of time the line was in service to support
outage maintenance and operations activities. The line was
repositioned to restore the designed support configuration and no
additional actions are required. The Restart Readiness Inspection
Team concurred with the licensee's disposition of this issue. Rubbing was noted on piping support associated with location L9 thimble 11 CR 447270 WO 59102381296 The licensee subsequently inspected all flux thimble tubes and noted that some of the tubes are flexed due to their routing with a focus on the keyway area inspected by the team. The licensee did
not find any tube to be bent or flexed in such a way as to impede
operation of inserting / extracting the thimbles or that the
indications noted were the result of seismic motion. The licensee
initiated a work order to clean and address potential rubbing. CA216295 is tracking the follow-up inspection by Engineering to confirm no material degradation and rubbing concern addressed.
The corrective action has been designated as "required prior to
start-up" and has been completed. The Restart Readiness
Inspection Team concurred with the licensee's assessment of this issue. CLOSED An inspection of the area beneath the Unit 2 reactor vessel identified boric acid streaming
coming from a leak on the reactor head leak-
off line that could have been caused by
seismic movement CR 448802 WO 59102388107 Following identification of the boric acid streaming, the location was identified as being from the reactor head leak-off line. The
tubing is normally not pressurized or filled with fluid based on its
design function. A section was removed and sent offsite for
metallurgical analysis to determine the cause of the two cracks
that were found on the tubing. Based on this analysis and the oxidation that was present in the area of the cracks, the licensee determined that the crack had existed for some time and had
allowed water containing boric acid to leak out during the post-
seismic event refueling outage where the refueling canal was filled
to facilitate fuel movement. The Restart Readiness Inspection
Team concurred with the licensee's assessment of this issue following a review of the metallurgical analysis report and discussions with the personnel conducting the analysis. CLOSED

Attachment 3 POTENTIAL SESIMIC ISSUES / QUESTIONSDESCRIPTION CR / WORESOLUTION INFORMATIONSTATUSCOMMON: Reactor pressure vessel supports, neutron shield tank, neutron shield tank skirt and
bolts have not been inspected in the ASME Section XI process. In addition, due to boric acid potentially coming into contact with one
of the supports due to a leak-off line leak,
inspections of the support under the Boric
Acid Corrosion Control Program may be warranted CR 447518 CR 447514
WO 59102382614 WO 59102385531 After this issue was raised by the team, the licensee performed visual inspections of the Reactor Sliding Foot Supports for both
Units 1 and 2 with satisfactory results. The team reviewed the results in detail and following extensive discussions with the inspectors and engineering staff at the station agree with the
licensee's position that there was no indication of damage to the
support structure as a result of the seismic event.
The NAPS Engineering staff performed an inspection of the bottom of the Unit 2 Reactor Vessel with one panel of insulation
removed to investigate whether leakage from the vessel flange
leak-off line leak had come in contact with the bare metal. All of
the leakage is on the outside of the insulation panels in that area
and the inside of the support skirt. No borated water has contacted the bare metal of the vessel. Surface rust stains and flaking of the coating that has been seen on the vessel during past
inspections were seen but no indication of boric acid. No
corrosion or wastage was observed on any of the affected areas
inside the support skirt.
An augmented VT-3 visual examination of the accessible areas of the neutron shield tank support structure in the Unit #2 keyway
was performed in accordance with ER-AA-NDE-VT-603. No signs
of degradation, distortion, cracks or other unacceptable conditions
were observed during the inspection and the examination was
completed with no issues noted.
The licensee also performed a general visual examination of the
accessible areas of the U2 keyway for evidence of liner
degradation in that area. Some areas were observed with boric
acid in contact with the liner from the reactor flange leak-off tubing leak and those areas were decontaminated during the examination. No evidence of liner degradation was observed
during the inspection and the examination was completed with no
issues noted.

RESTART READINESS INSPECTION TEAM IDENTIFIED ISSUES / QUESTIONS AND THEIR RESOLUTION / STATUS
Attachment 3 Some floor insulation panels on Unit 2 were pulled to verify that boric acid from the head seal leak-off line leak has not caused
damage to the liner. The actual floor bolting will not be inspected
as there is a weld leak channel that covers the bolting. Significant corrosion was not expected as the acid leak has not existed for a long time, the condition is relatively cold, and hence any corrosion
rate would be small.
A visual examination has been performed under the Unit 2 reactor
vessel with two panels/shields removed from the floor over the containment liner. The panels removed were the ones below the manway where boric acid was observed from the leak in the
reactor flange leak-off line. The inspection revealed minor rust
staining on the liner that was consistent with previous
examinations and some boric acid was observed between the
panels when the panels were separated. The area under the neutron shield tank that was visually accessible when the panels were removed was also examined and no degradation was
evident.
A 0-GEP-30 inspection of the Unit 1 keyway was performed. Two pre-existing component cooling leaks from the neutron shield tank were documented (CR440679). These leaks are directed to
installed drip troughs and were inactive at the time of the
inspection. No structural issues identified above acceptance
criteria.
The Restart Readiness Inspection Team concurred with the licensee's assessment of this issue.

Attachment 3 POTENTIAL SESIMIC ISSUES / QUESTIONSDESCRIPTION CR / WORESOLUTION INFORMATIONSTATUSCOMMON: Potential impact on movement of the CRDM tubes on the J-groove weld on the reactor
head was not evaluated nor was the excessive gap at the support identified prior to the team walkdown being performed CR 447683 (U2) CR 446711 (U1) The licensee stated that the CRDM seismic support structure is designed for movement of the CRDMs and seismic support plates
during a seismic event with the largest resulting total gap between adjacent seismic plates and/or bumper stops equal to 1.22". The seismic and LOCA loads developed with this gap size when
applied to the reactor head adapters and their associated
attachment welds have been reviewed and found to be less than
their design load limits. The as-found gap measurements do not add significant thermal loads to the reactor head attachment welds. The maximum as-found gap measurement (1.25") can be
accommodated by the seismic spacer plate tabs, therefore
dislodging of a plate would not occur. The total gaps however
should be corrected to the design specified gaps to preclude other
effects on the reactor head and CRDMs. Estimated increase in seismic loads on the CRDM adapters experienced on August 23, 2011 are less than the design % margin for applied external loads.
The evaluation that discusses this issue is ETE-NA-2011-1002.
The actions taken by the licensee are addressed above under the issue described as "Spacer Plates on the Unit 1 Reactor head showing light shining through." CLOSED A review of the records for the walkdowns performed by the licensee raised questions about the detail that was obtained during the
licensee's inspection of the spray rings inside
of the Unit 1 and Unit 2 containment
buildings 0-GEP-30 CR 447571 After the team discussed the inspection methodology and tools used for the original post-seismic event inspections under the 0-GEP-30 procedure, the licensee developed a plan to re-inspect
these areas for possible seismic damage using better lighting and
visual aids. These inspections were performed on both units with
no issues identified. The Restart Readiness Inspection Team

Attachment 3 POTENTIAL SESIMIC ISSUES / QUESTIONSDESCRIPTION CR / WORESOLUTION INFORMATIONSTATUSCOMMON: Several cracks were noted on the south exterior wall of the fuel building, including
one that was noted from ground level that extended approximately twenty-five feet from the ground CR 447100 A follow up inspection was performed with the NRC on 10/13/11 in the Fuel Building to determine if the crack continued up on to the
top surface of the wall. No cracking associated with this crack was found on the top surface and it was concluded that this crack was only a surface crack that had propagated up the south wall. This
wall is the south wall of the Fuel Building/fuel pool and is a
reinforced wall 6' thick with minimal reinforcement. The
reinforcement on the south face of the wall has a 3"concrete cover without sufficient temperature reinforcement to arrest minor cracking. The EPRI criteria was developed assuming a heavily
reinforced structure with a minimum concrete cover of 1-1/2". With
this condition, a .06" crack could develop prior to yielding the
reinforcement. As the Fuel Building wall is not heavily reinforced
and the cover is twice as thick as the EPRI criteria, a crack of .06" would have less consequence of yielding the rebar. As the crack measured is .05", it can be concluded that there was no yielding of
the reinforcement and that the crack is acceptable at this location.
This crack has been added to the Fuel Building Maintenance Rule
Structures report that is currently being performed with subsequent inspections performed every 5 years. Under this process, it will be tracked and evaluated to assure it remains
inactive and that no new cracks develop as a result of this crack. CLOSED An inspection of the pipe tunnel between the main steam valve house and the turbine
driven auxiliary feedwater pump room
identified unsealed penetrations between the tunnel and the motor-driven auxiliary feedwater (MDAFW) pump room (on Unit 1)
and the quench spray pump room (on Unit 2) CR 448893 The licensee determined that a steam line break in the pipe tunnel could adversely affect the equipment in the Unit 1 MDAFW pump
room and the Unit 2 quench spray pump room due to the resulting
environment in the rooms. This issue has been captured in both the licensee's CAP as a CR, ETE and corresponding WO and the Restart Readiness Inspection Team's inspection report as an
Unresolved Item This is being tracked as an URI in the inspection report

Attachment 3 POTENTIAL SESIMIC ISSUES / QUESTIONSDESCRIPTION CR / WORESOLUTION INFORMATIONSTATUSCOMMON: 94 cards in the 7300 protection system were found to be not seismically qualified (47 per
unit) CR 446689 CR 446690 During a post-earthquake review of the seismic qualifications of the 7300 System, WCAP-8687 Supplement 2-E13C Revision 2,
Process Protection System (Seismic and Environmental Testing of Printed Circuit Cards) was reviewed and found to have identified 4 cards types that did not pass the testing for seismic qualification.
The identified card types that are applicable at North Anna Power
Station are 1) NTC G01 & G04 (part # 2837A94G01 and
2837A94G04), 2) NCH G01 (part # 2837A11G01), 3) NPC G01 (part # 2837A93G01), and 4) NTD G01 (part # 2838A45G01). The applicable cards totaled 47 per unit. Research for evaluation of the
applicable 7300 cards installed at North Anna Unit 1 has located a
June 19, 1992 correspondence between Dominion (Virginia Power
at the time) and Westinghouse regarding North Anna's applicability
in meeting the requirements of WCAP-8687. The correspondence from Westinghouse states:
Upon review of our records, we have determined the licensing qualification reference at North Anna's 7300 Process Protection
System is WCAP-7817 and not WCAP*8587/8687. The 7300
system is qualified by WCAP-8587/8687 which is consistent with the requirements of the 1975 standards (IEEE STD's 323-1974 and 344-1975), however, North Anna was licensed to the
1971 standards and therefore WCAP-7817 is the appropriate
licensing qualification document. However, the Inadequate
Core Cooling Monitoring System (ICCHS) was qualified under
WCAP 8687.
Based on the aforementioned correspondence, North Anna's 7300
System is qualified per WCAP-7817 Supplement 4, Seismic
Testing of Electrical and Control equipment (WCID Nucana 7300
Series Low Seismic Plants). In order to alleviate immediate concerns over the NDT circuit operability (which was potentially affected by the NTC G01 cards installed in the wide range Tcold
loops), seismic qualified replacement NTC cards were purchased
from Westinghouse (part # 6D30815G21 Y) and installed in the
Unit1 and Unit 2 Tcold wide range loops.

RESTART READINESS INSPECTION TEAM IDENTIFIED ISSUES / QUESTIONS AND THEIR RESOLUTION / STATUS
Attachment 3 The WCAP-8687 test results found that the NPC G01 card showed inaccuracies up to 0.1% which Westinghouse expanded to 0.5%
based on the small population of NPC cards tested. The 0.5%
accuracy is what is assumed in the respective CSA's and is therefore bounded and acceptable. The NCH G01 cards were shown to have an increased inaccuracy from the specified 0.5% to
0.87%. In the applicable circuits in which the NCH G01 cards are
used, that represents a widening of accuracy by an additional
0.37%. The affect on the CSA's is insignificant and will be
absorbed in the existing margin (of which there is 6% margin existing). ETE-CEE-2011-0010 Rev 0 is being written to finalize the evaluations and incorporate the use of additional margin where
applicable.
The cards were just recently seismically tested by Westinghouse
for North Anna's site specific levels to ensure seismic acceptability of the mercury-wetted relays. The tested NTC and NTD cards passed seismic testing with no recorded chatter. Further, these
cards were subjected to higher test levels as part of fragility
testing. The NTC cards did not chatter until a seismic level
corresponding to approximately four times North Anna's site specific in-cabinet RRS. The NTD cards did not chatter at approximately four times the North Anna level.
In each of the above cases, the seismic qualification levels showed
margins above the requirements. Although the in-structure
response spectra (ISRS) from the August 23, 2011 event are not available at various structures and elevations, based on the review of the spectra at containment base mat and elevation 291'
developed from the recorded time-histories, the licensee
determined that the margins available will envelop the spectra from
the August 23, 2011 event.
The licensee performed inspections and calibrations on a select number of instrumentation circuits associated with Unit 1 and all
the instrumentation required for a normal refueling outage on Unit
2. The results of the inspections have shown no visible damage to
the components, or its mounting or electrical connections. Also,
trending of the data from the calibrations that have been performed on the various instrumentation has not shown an adverse trend in

Attachment 3 the required calibrations (adjustments/magnitude of adjustments) of the various seismically qualified instrumentation.
In summary, the licensee has confirmed that the 7300 cards installed at North Anna are acceptable for use from a seismic stand point. The Restart Readiness Inspection Team concurred with the
licensee's assessment of this issue.
