REPORT DETAILS
4OA2Problem Identification and Resolution (PI&R) (71152B)a.Assessment of the Corrective Action (CA) program (1)Inspection ScopeThe inspection team reviewed the procedures describing the licensee's CorrectiveAction Program (CAP). The licensee identified problems for evaluation and resolution by initiating issue reports (IRs) that were entered into the condition reporting system.
The IRs were subsequently screened for operability, categorized by significance, and assigned for further evaluation and resolution.The inspection team evaluated the methods for assigning and tracking issues to ensurethat issues were screened for operability and reportability, prioritized for evaluation and resolution in a timely manner commensurate with their safety significance, and tracked to identify adverse trends and repetitive issues. In addition, the inspection team interviewed plant staff and management to determine the staff's understanding of, and involvement with the CAP.The inspection team reviewed IRs to assess whether the licensee adequately evaluatedand prioritized identified problems. The issues reviewed encompassed the full range of evaluations, including root cause analyses, apparent cause evaluations, and commoncause analyses. Samples of IRs that were assigned lower levels of significance were also reviewed by the inspection team to ensure they were appropriately classified. The review included the appropriateness of the assigned significance, the scope and depth of the causal analysis, and the timeliness of resolution. For significant conditions adverse to quality, the inspection team reviewed the licensee's corrective actions to preclude recurrence. The inspection team observed selected daily Station Ownership Committee (SOC) IR screening meetings, in which station personnel reviewed new IRs for prioritization and assignment. The inspection team also reviewed equipment operability determinations, reportability assessments, and extent-of-condition reviews for
selected items.The inspection team reviewed the corrective actions associated with selected IRs todetermine whether the actions addressed the identified causes of the problems. The inspection team reviewed IRs for repetitive problems to determine whether previous corrective actions were effective. The inspection team also reviewed station timeliness in implementing corrective actions and their effectiveness in precluding recurrence for significant conditions adverse to quality. The inspection team reviewed corrective actions associated with selected non-cited violations (NCVs) and findings to determine whether the station properly evaluated and resolved these issues.This inspection constitutes one biennial sample of problem identification and resolutionas defined by Inspection Procedure 71152.
4(2)AssessmentNo findings of significance were identified.
.1 Identification of IssuesThe team concluded, in general, that the station identified issues and entered them intothe CAP at the appropriate level.
The team's review of operating experience reports identified that the licensee was appropriately including the issues into the CAP. The licensee also used the CAP to document instances where previous corrective actions were ineffective or were inappropriately closed. The inspection team noted that relatively few deficiencies were identified by external organizations (including the NRC)that had not been previously identified by licensee personnel.The team selected three high risk systems, which included the non-essential servicewater, condensate system, and the 120 volt direct current electrical distribution system to review in detail. The team's review was to determine whether the licensee was properly monitoring and evaluating the performance of these systems through effective implementation of station monitoring programs. The team interviewed the system engineer of the applicable system, non-license operators, and performed partial system walk-downs of the systems. A five year review of the 480 volt Molded Case Circuit Breaker (MCCB) and fire protection issues was also undertaken to assess the licensee's efforts in monitoring for system degradation due to aging aspects.
.2 Prioritization and Evaluation of Issues The team concluded that the licensee had properly prioritized issues based ontheir safety significance, and that issues were generally well evaluated.
The team did not identify any issue reports that were not properly prioritized. In addition, the team observed several SOC and management review board committee (MRC) meetings, and concluded that both committees generally ensured the proper prioritization and appropriate investigation assignments for plant issues. Examples of SOC actions taken were to assign work requests, evaluations, and/or corrective action to specific departmental groups. The team observed the MRC function in an oversight role of the SOC. For example, the MRC changed the SOC recommended action of some issues based on committee dialogue and additional station awareness of the issue. The MRCperformed grading of investigative CAP products to provide feedback on product quality to the sponsoring manager. The team concluded that issues were properly prioritized and generally well evaluated.However, the team questioned the licensee regarding two IRs that had been througheither the SOC or the SOC and MRC and warranted additional evaluation of prompt operability. In both cases observed, additional data gathering and assessments by the team determined that no actual operability concern existed. These IRs represented near misses in that there was information in the IRs that should have called into question the operability of plant equipment but the review committees failed to recognize.
5ObservationsFire ProtectionThere were a large number of issues being identified by licensee and NRC personnelin the area of fire protection. These issues dealt with hardware issues, surveillance issues, documentation, and corrective action. Many of these issues were NRC identified. Examples included: missing beam fire protection (three examples), failure to test remote shutdown panel switches, problems with the pre-fire plan and the fire protection report, fire dampers not installed, and CO 2 operability with open doors. Inaddition, a large number of issues have been identified by licensee personnel, many of these issues have been legacy or long standing issues. The team observed significant effort to address the individual issues and observed significant effort addressing four groups of hardware issues by the Plant Health Committee; but there appeared to be little effort to perform an overall assessment of the fire protection related issues.
.3 Effectiveness of Corrective ActionThe inspection team concluded that the licensee was generally effective in the resolutionof problems and implementation of corrective actions.
The problems identified using a root or apparent cause methodologies were resolved in accordance with program and NRC requirements. The inspection team concluded that corrective actions were generally completed in an appropriate time frame.Observations480 Volt Molded Case Circuit Breakers (MCCBs)
The inspection team performed a review of the high failure rate of Westinghouse 480V MCCBs. The number of documented failures was: outage B2R12 - 44 of 120 tested (37 percent), outage B1R14 - 63 of 165 tested (38 percent), and outage B2R13 - 18 of 94 tested (19 percent). The team noted that based on failure laboratory analysis completed by a licensee contractor, all identified failures were attributed to breaker bar twisting. The lab also concluded that fixed magnetic breakers have not shown problems with tripping high out-of-tolerance (OOT). While there was much evidence to support breaker bar twisting as the cause of these failures, the inspection team also noted there was evidence of age-related degradation, such as dried and separated grease, that appeared to be dismissed by the licensee.Also during the inspection team's review of the MCCB failures, as documented in thelicensee's corrective action program, the team noted that the licensee's practice was not to consider all problems as failures. For example, the licensee did not consider individual phases with as-found OOT or breakers that did not reset following testing as failures. The inspection team found at least one example in the licensee's corrective action program (IR 446538) of MCCBs that did not reset following testing, and three cases with individual phases with as-found OOT. The inspection team ascertained that the three cases of OOT phase settings were analyzed by the licensee's contractor, which determined that the failures were due to hardened grease.
6The inspection team compared the licensee's testing, and preventive maintenanceto Westinghouse Bulletins 04-13 (Replacement Solutions for Obsolete Classic Molded Case Circuit Breakers, UL Testing Issues, Breaker Design Life and Trip Band Adjustment) and 06-2 (Aging Issues and Subsequent Operating Issues for Breakers That are at Their 20 Year Design/Qualified Lives; UL Certification/Testing Issues Update) as well as Information Notice 93-64 (PERIODIC TESTING AND PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE OF MOLDED CASE CIRCUIT BREAKERS).
Both the Westinghouse Bulletins and the Information Notice described the aspects of age-related degradation, including dried and separated grease. Additionally, the OE recommended periodic cycling of the MCCBs, and/or breaker replacement after 20 years in mild environment applications. Most of the 480 Volt MCCBs have been in service for greater than twenty years, and some have shown indications of age-related degradation. Although the licensee had evaluated the OE, they determined not to implement the recommendations. Based on the questions from the inspection team, the licensee is reevaluating the MCCB preventive maintenance activities and frequency.
The licensee's decision not to implement the OE recommendations is not a violation of NRC requirements. Furthermore, the team assessed the MCCB failures as captured in the licensee's corrective action program, and there were no incidences severe enough to be considered a significant condition adverse to quality, therefore no violations of NRC requirements occurred.
b.Assessment of the Use of Operating Experience (OE)(1)Inspection ScopeThe team reviewed the licensee's implementation of the station operating experienceprogram. Specifically, the team reviewed implementation of operating experience program procedures, attended CA program meetings to observe the use of OE information, completed evaluations of OE issues and events, and selected 2006 and 2007 monthly assessments of the OE composite performance indicators. The purpose of the team's review was to determine whether the licensee was effectively integrating OE experience in the performance of daily activities. Specifically that OE was used in the evaluation of issues, departmental assessments, Nuclear Oversight (NOS) audits,and the use of OE was effective in preventing repeats of previous industry events. The team also assessed if corrective actions, as a result of OE experience, were identified and effectively and timely implemented. (2)AssessmentThe team did not identify any findings of significance in this area. In general, with theexception of the MCCB issue described above, OE information was being well utilized at the station. The team observed that Exelon fleet internal OE and industry OE were discussed by licensee staff to support review activities and CAP investigations.
During licensee staff interviews, the team identified that the use of OE was being considered during daily activities.
7 c.Assessment of Self-Assessments and Audits(1)Inspection ScopeThe team reviewed selected focused area self-assessments (FASA), check-inself-assessments, and Nuclear Oversight audits of the corrective action program, technical human performance, engineering design control and programs, maintenance, operations and system performance monitoring. The team evaluated whether these audits and self-assessments were being effectively managed, were adequately covering the subject areas, and were properly capturing identified issues in the CAP. In addition, the team also interviewed licensee staff regarding the implementation of the audit and self-assessment programs.(2)AssessmentNo findings of significance were identified.
The team concluded that the licensee's departmental assessments and nuclearoversight audits were effective at identifying plant deficiencies and enhancement opportunities at an appropriate threshold level. Assessments and audits were thorough and probing. The auditing and assessing teams were comprised of personnel with appropriate knowledge, skills, and abilities, which resulted in the identification of plant deficiencies, plant improvement recommendations, and plant strengths. Assessments and audits properly characterized issues, and identified issues were subsequently placed into the CAP. In addition, the team concluded that 2007 PI&R FASA was a very good effort that resulted in a quality product.
d.Assessment of Safety Conscious Work Environment(1)Inspection ScopeThe team interviewed selected members of the licensee's staff to determine if therewere any impediments to the establishment of a safety conscious work environment.
In addition, the team discussed the implementation of the Employee Concerns Program (ECP) with the ECP Coordinators, and reviewed their 2006/2007 activities to identify any emergent issues or potential trends. Licensee programs to publicize the CAP and ECP programs were also reviewed.(2)AssessmentNo findings of significance were identified.
The staff was aware of, and generally familiar with the CAP and other station processes,including the ECP, through which concerns could be raised. Staff interviews identified that issues could be freely communicated to supervision, and that several of the individuals interviewed had previously initiated IRs. In addition, a review of the types of issues in the ECP indicated that site personnel were appropriately using the corrective action and employee concerns programs to identify issues. The team interviewed the ECP Coordinators and concluded that they were focused on ensuring all site individuals 8were aware of the program, comprehensive in their review of individual concerns, andused the corrective action and employee concerns programs to appropriately resolve
issues.4OA6Meetings
.1 Exit MeetingThe team presented the inspection results to Ms. M. Snow and other members oflicensee management at the conclusion of the inspection on August 3, 2007.
