Diablo Canyon Power Plant; Fire Protection, Inservice Inspection Activities, Follow-up of Events and Notices of Enforcement Discretion

The inspection activities described in this report were performed betwee n October 1 and December 31, 2015

, by the resident inspectors at Diablo Canyon Power Plant and inspectors from the NRC's Region IV office. Three finding s of very low safety significance (Green) are documented in this report.

All three of these findings involved violation s of NRC requirements. The significance of inspection findings is indicated by their color (Green, White, Yellow, or Red), which is determined using Inspection Manual Chapter 0609, "Significance Determination Process." Their cross-cutting aspects are determined using Inspection Manual Chapter 0310, "Aspects within the Cross-Cutting Areas." Violations of NRC requirements are dispositioned in accordance with the NRC Enforcement Policy. The NRC's program for overseeing the safe operation of commercial nuclear power reactors is described in NUREG

-1649, "Reactor Oversight Process."

Cornerstone: Initiating Events

Green.

The inspectors identified a non-cited violation of Technical Specification 5.4.1.d, "Procedures," for the failure to follow approved fire protection program procedures to review the fire impairments list to assess the aggregate impact on the fire protection design and safe shutdown analysis. Specifically, from August 31 to September 2, 2015, the licensee failed to evaluate the aggregate impact of having three fire doors simultaneously blocked open in adjacent Unit 1 vital battery charger rooms.

The licensee implemented immediate corrective actions by assigning a continuous fire watch to the area and documented the issue in the corrective action program as Notification 50826793.

The failure to follow approved fire protection program procedures to review the fire impairments list to assess the aggregate impact on the fire protection design and safe shutdown analysis was a performance deficiency.

This performance deficiency was more than minor, and therefore a finding, because it was associated with the Initiating Events cornerstone attribute of Protection against External Factors (Fire) and adversely affected the cornerstone objective of limiting the likelihood of those events that upset plant stability and challenge critical safety functions during plant operations. Specifically, the failure to evaluate the aggregate impact of multiple fire system impairments affected the licensee ability to limit the impact of a potential fire. The inspectors evaluated the finding using IMC 0609, Attachment 4, "Phase 1-Initial Screening and Characterization of Findings."

Because the finding involved fire protectio n, the inspectors transitioned to IMC 0609, Appendix F "Fire Protection Significan ce Determination Process." The inspectors characterized the finding using IMC 0609, Appendix F, Attachment 1, "Fire Protection SDP Phase 1 Worksheet," dated September 20, 20 13. The finding screened as very low safety significance (Green), per Attachment 1, Question 1.4.3

-A since the fire finding category was determined to be fire confinement, due to the fire doors being propped open, and the combustion loading on both sides of the door was determined to be a duration of 30 minutes as documented in licensee calculation M

-824, "Controlled Combustion Loading Tracking."

In addition, the inspectors determined this finding had a cross-cutting aspect in human performance associated with the teamwork component because the licensee

's work groups did not properly communicate and coordinate their activities within and across organizational boundaries to ensure nuclear safety was maintained. Specifically, the work planners did not properly communicate to the fire protection department that all three fire doors would be open at the same time during battery charger load testing. [H.4] (Section 1R05)

Cornerstone: Mitigating Systems

Green.

The inspectors reviewed a self-revealing non-cited violation of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion XVI "Corrective Action," for the failure to identify the cause and take corrective action to prevent recurrence of a significant condition adverse to quality impacting both trains of the Unit 1 safety-related residual heat removal (RHR) system

. Specifically, the licensee failed to identify a definitive cause and implement corrective actions to prevent recurrent failures of the socket weld for relief valve RHR-1-RV-8708 for both trains of the RHR system.

As immediate corrective actions, the licensee installed additional piping supports to mitigate the vibrations at the socket weld and documented this issue in the corrective action program as Notification 50680750. The failure to identify the cause of the RHR vibration-induced problems and to take adequate corrective actions to prevent recurrence of the weld failures was a performance deficiency. The performance deficiency was more than minor, and therefore a finding, because if left uncorrected, it could lead to a more significant safety concern. Specifically, no additional supports were installed and no actions were taken to reduce or eliminate the vibrations to prevent recurring weld failures, which could affect the availability of the RHR system. The lack of corrective actions to prevent recurrence could leave RHR components and other components physically connected to the system susceptible to future failures. Using Inspection Manual Chapter 0609, Appendix A, the inspectors determined the issue to have very low safety significance (Green) because the performance deficiency, which affected the mitigating systems cornerstone, did not result in a loss of safety function and did not result in an actual loss of function for greater than the technical specification allowed outage time. The licensee entered this into their corrective action program as Notification 50680750. In addition, this finding has a cross-cutting aspect in the human performance area associated with conservative bias decision making component because individuals failed to use decision making practices that emphasize prudent choices over those that are simply allowable. Specifically, the licensee chose to only install a fatigue resistance weld rather than install additional pipe supports as were in the Unit system [H.14]. (Section 1R08.5)

Green.

The inspectors identified a non-cited violation of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion III "Design Control," for the failure to implement design control measures to verify the adequacy of the Unit 1 emergency diesel generators (EDGs) cooling system design to ensure operation of the EDGs under worst-case environmental conditions. Specifically, since initial licensed operations began in 1984, the licensee failed to ensure the Unit 1 EDGs were designed and built to operate under worst-case high wind and temperature conditions. As a result, sustained high winds from specific directions could have impacted EDG radiator performance resulting in the unavailability of the Unit 1 EDGs. Immediate corrective actions included issuing shift orders to the reactor operators to monitor for specific weather conditions (high air temperature, high wind speed and direction) and provide additional room cooling using established procedures, as necessary. The licensee documented the issue in the corrective action program as Notification 50599190. The failure to implement design control measures to ensure the emergency diesel generators could perform their design basis function was a performance deficiency. The performance deficiency was more than minor, and is therefore a finding, because it was associated with the design control attribute of the mitigating system cornerstone, and affected the cornerstone objective to ensure the availability, reliability, and capability of systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences. Specifically, the performance deficiency resulted in a condition where sustained high winds from specific directions could have impacted EDG radiator performance resulting in the unavailability of the Unit 1 EDGs. The inspectors evaluated the finding using Exhibit of IMC 0609, Appendix A, "The Significance Determination Process for Findings At Power," dated June 19, 2012. The inspectors determined that a detailed risk evaluation by an NRC senior reactor analyst was required since the finding was associated with a loss of EDG function.

The regional senior reactor analyst performed a Phase 3 SDP analysis for the finding. The results of analysis established the incremental conditional core damage probability (ICCDP) was 2.74E-07 , less than 1 x 10-6 , and therefore the analyst determined that the subject finding was of very low safety significance (Green).

A cross-cutting aspect was not assigned to the finding since the finding did not represent current licensee performance. The condition existed since original construction of the plant.

(Section 4OA3)

PLANT STATUS

Unit s 1 and 2 began the inspection period at full power.

On October 4, 2015, Unit 1, was shut down for a planned refueling outage. On November 7, 2 0 15, Unit 1 returned to operation and began a controlled power ascension

the unit attained full power on November 13, 2015.

On December 1 1 , 2015, Unit s 1 and 2 experienced heavy influx of debris from ocean swells and carryover from the circulating water system screens which resulted in fouling of the main condensers. In response, both units 1 and 2 reduced power to 25 percent to perform maintenance to removed debris from the circulating water system and condensers. Following maintenance Unit 2 returned to full power on December 14, 2015, and Unit 1 returned to full power on December 15, 2015. Units 1 and 2 operated at or near full power for the duration of this inspection period.

The inspectors evaluated control of transient combustibles and ignition sources, fire detection and suppression systems, manual firefighting equipment and capability, passive fire protection features, and compensatory measures for degraded conditions.

These activities constitute d four quarterly inspection sample s , as defined in Inspection Procedure 71111.05.

b. Findings

Introduction.

The inspectors identified a Green, non

-cited violation of Technical Specification 5.4.1.d, "Procedures,"

for the failure to follow approved fire protection program procedures to review the fire impairments list to assess the aggregate impact on the fire protection design and safe shutdown analysis. Specifically, from August 31 to September 2, 2015, the licensee failed to evaluate the aggregate impact of having three fire doors simultaneously blocked open in adjacent Unit 1 vital battery charger rooms.

Description.

On August 31, 2015, the licensee implemented Work Order 64092332 and blocked open three fire barriers (doors) to route test cables for planned load testing of all three Un it 1 vital battery chargers. The testing setup involved running energized electrical cables through three blocked open vital fire doors. The blocked open fire doors affected several fire zones/areas and all three of the Unit 1 vital battery charger rooms. Since the work required fire doors to be blocked open

, the licensee issue d a fire impairment for each door.

Each fire impairment required a one

-hour roving fire watch as a compensatory measure.

On September 1, 2015, during a tour of the plant

, the inspector observed multiple fire doors blocked open and reviewed the fire impairment s to determine if this configuration was adequate. Specifically, the inspector s questioned if the aggregate impact of multiple fire doors open was acceptable with respect to the fire protection system design and safe shutdown analysis. The licensee documented the inspector's concern i n Notification 50803608.

Because of the inspector questions, the licensee re

-evaluated the aggregate impact of multiple blocked open fire doors. The licensee determined that while it was acceptable to have multiple fire doors open, additional compensatory measures were necessary. Instead of a one

-hour roving fire watch, the licensee was required to implement a continuous fire watch.

Diablo Canyon Procedure OM8.ID2, "Fire System Impairment," Revision 19 , Step 4.8, states, in part, that the fire protection engineer is responsible for reviewing the fire impairments list to assess the aggregate impact on the fire protection design and safe shutdown analysis

. The inspectors determined the fire protection engineer did not assess the aggregate impact of multiple fire impairments

, and a significant contributor to this issue was that work planners did not properly communicate to the fire protection department that all three fire doors would be open at the same time during battery charger load testing.

Analysis.

The failure to follow approved fire protection program procedures to review the fire impairments list to assess the aggregate impact on the fire protection design and safe shutdown analysis was a performance deficiency

. This performance deficiency was more than minor, and therefore a finding, because it was associated with the Initiating Events cornerstone attribute of Protection against External Factors (Fire) and adversely affected the cornerstone objective of limiting the likelihood of those events that upset plant stability and challenge critical safety functions during plant operations. Specifically, the failure to evaluate the aggregate impact of multiple fire system impairments affected the licensee ability to limit the impact of a potential fire. T he inspectors evaluated the finding using IMC 0609, Attachment 4, "Phase 1-Initial Screening and Characterization of Findings."

Because the finding involved fire protection, the inspectors transitioned to IMC 0609, Appendix F "Fire Protection Significan ce Determination Process." The inspectors characterized the finding using IMC 0609, Appendix F, Attachment 1, "Fire Protection SDP Phase 1 Worksheet," dated September 20, 2013. The finding screened as very low safety significance (Green), per Attachment 1, Question 1.4.3

-A since the fire finding category was determined to be fire confinement, due to the fire doors being propped open, and the combustion loading on both sides of the door was determined to be a duration of 30 minutes as documented in licensee calculation M

-824, "Controlled Combustion Loading Tracking."

In addition, the inspectors determined this finding had a cross-cutting aspect in human performance associated with the teamwork component because the licensee

's work groups did not properly communicate and coordinate their activities within and across organizational boundaries to ensure nuclear safety was maintained. Specifically, the work planners did not properly communicate to the fire protection department that all three fire doors would be open at the same time during battery charger load testing. [H.4]

Enforcement.

Technical Specification 5.4.1.d, "Procedures," requires, in part, that the licensee establish, implement, and maintain applicable written procedures covering fire protection program implementation.

The licensee established Procedure OM8.ID2, "Fire System Impairment," Revision 19, to implement, in part, the requirement of Technical Specification 5.4.1.d. Procedure OM8.ID2, Step 4.8, states that the "Fire protection engineer is responsible for reviewing the fire impairments list to assess the aggregate impact on the fire protection design and safe shutdown analysis." Contrary to this requirement, from August 31 to September 2, 2015, the fire protection engineer failed to review the fire impairment list to assess the aggregate impact on the fire protection design and safe shutdown analysis. Specifically, the fire protection engineer failed to evaluate the aggregate impact of multiple fire system impairments involving three simultaneously blocked open fire doors in adjacent Unit 1 vital battery charger rooms.

The licensee implemented immediate corrective actions by assigning a continuous fire watch to the area.

This violation is being treated as an NCV, consistent with Section 2.3.2 of the Enforcement Policy. The violation was entered into the licensee's corrective action program as Notification 50826793. (NCV 05000275/2015004

-01, "Failure to Properly Evaluate for Aggregate Impact of Fire Impairments

) 1 R 06 Flood Protection Measure s (71111.06)

a. Inspection Scope

O n October 16, 2015, the inspectors completed an inspection of underground bunkers susceptible to flooding. The inspectors selected two underground vaults that contained risk-significant or multiple

-train cables whose failure could disable risk

-significant equipment: October 6, 2015, Unit 1, inspection of reactor pressure vessel lower head vault below the 91 foot elevation October 15

-16, 2015, Unit 1, auxiliary saltwater system underground vault / pull boxes inspection BP 034 and 35 The inspectors observed the material condition of the cables and splices contained in the vaults and looked for evidence of cable degradation due to water intrusion.

The inspectors verified that the cables and vaults met design requirements.

These activities constitute completion of two bunker/manhole sample s, as defined in Inspection Procedure 71111.06.

b. Findings

No findings were identified.

1 R 07 Heat Sink Performance (71111.07)

.4 Steam Generator Tube Inspection Activities

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors reviewed the steam generator tube eddy current (ECT) examination scope and expansion criteria to determine whether these criteria met technical specification requirements, Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) guidelines, and commitments made to the NRC. The inspectors also reviewed whether the ECT inspection scope included areas of degradations that were known to represent potential eddy current test challenges such as the top of tube sheet, tube support plates, and U-bends. The inspectors confirmed that no repairs were required at the time of the inspection. The scope of the licensee's ECT examinations included:

100 percent of the in

-service tubes inspected full length with bobbin probes All potential AVB (anti vibration bar) wear sites inspected by bobbin probe Plus Point inspections were conducted on the following:

100 percent of abnormal conditions detected by bobbin probe 100 percent of dents and dings

> 1 volt detected by bobbin probe and not Plus Point probe inspected in 1 R 16 100 percent of proximity indications The following tube degradation mechanisms were identified:

AVB tube wear The inspectors observed portions of the eddy current testing being performed to determine whether: (1)the appropriate probes were used for identifying the expected types of degradation, (2)calibration requirements were followed, and (3)probe travel speed was in accordance with procedural requirements. The inspectors performed a review of the site

-specific qualifications for the techniques being used and reviewed whether eddy current test data analyses were adequately performed per EPRI and site specific guidelines.

Sludge lancing and foreign object search and retrieval (FOSAR) activities were conducted during Refueling Outage 1R19. Sludge lancing activities removed a total of approximately 8 pounds of sludge for all four steam generators. FOSAR examination included an in

-bundle inspection of the center 10 columns of the hot leg and cold leg top-of-tube support region, and columns 20, 40, 60, 80, and 100 in both hot and cold legs. The examination also included 100 percent of the trough and outer periphery tubes. Finally, the inspectors reviewed selected eddy current test data to verify that the analytical techniques used were adequate.

b. Findings

No findings were identified.

.5 Identification and Resolution of Problems

a. Inspection scope

The inspectors reviewed 18 notifications (condition reports) which dealt with inservice inspection activities and found the corrective actions were appropriate. The specific condition reports reviewed are listed in the documents reviewed section. From this review the inspectors concluded that the licensee has an appropriate threshold for entering issues into the corrective action program and has procedures that direct a root cause evaluation when necessary. The licensee also has an effective program for applying industry operating experience. Specific documents reviewed during this inspection are listed in the attachment.

b. Findings

Introduction.

The inspectors reviewed a self

-cited violation of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion XVI, "Corrective Action,"

associated with the licensee's failure to identify the cause and take corrective action to prevent recurrence of a significant condition adverse to quality impacting both safety

-related residual hea t removal (RHR) systems in Unit 1. Specifically, the licensee failed to identify a definitive cause and implement corrective actions to prevent recurrent failures of the socket weld for relief valve RHR-1-RV-8708 for both trains of the RHR system.

Description.

On June 25, 2013, during a walk down of the Unit 1 Containment, maintenance personnel noted an accumulation of boric acid on the inlet pipe to valve RHR-1-RV-8708. The problem was reported in Notification 50570623. Subsequent clean-up of the boric acid accumulation revealed an active leak of 3 drops per minute (DPM) from a circumferential crack on the socket weld. The active boric acid leak was located on the common header from the RHR pump discharge to RCS Hot Legs 1 and 2. The active boric acid leak could not be isolated from the rest of the system. Both trains of the RHR system were declared inoperable and Technical Specification 3.0.3 was entered on June 25, 2013 , at 9:58 p.m. The technical specification required a shutdown of Unit 1 within 7 hours8.101852e-5 days <br />0.00194 hours <br />1.157407e-5 weeks <br />2.6635e-6 months <br />. The condition also required a 4-hour notification to the NRC. The licensee did not classify this initial failure of the weld as a significant condition adverse to quality.

Procedure OM4.1014, "Notification Review Team," Revision 25, Section 3.21 defined a significant condition adverse to quality as a condition that, if left uncorrected, could seriously affect the ability to operate the plant in a safe manner or will require a major effort to restore capability to perform specific functions.

The failure of this weld resulted in the licensee declaring both trains of residual heat removal inoperable and required the plant to be shutdown in order to repair the weld; therefore, the failure of the weld should have been classified as a significant condition adverse to quality.

Title 10 CFR Part 50 Appendix B, Criterion XVI states in part, "In the case of significant conditions adverse to quality, the measures shall assure that the cause of the condition is determined and corrective action taken to preclude repetition."

As part of the apparent cause evaluation, the licensee performed an inspection of the weld using the inservice inspection group and a metallurgist from Pacific Gas and Electric Applied Technology Services (ATS).

The inspection identified that the source of the leak was a circumferential crack, approximately 110 degrees in length, in the socket weld at the half

-coupling (sockolet) on line 1

-S1-3/4" (inlet side of RV

-8708). The observed crack was circumferentially oriented and predominately in the middle of the weld face, with one end of the crack tapering to the socket

-side toe of the weld.

Based on previous experience, the licensee determined the crack was indicative of a high cycle fatigue failure, but the weld was not cutout and failure analysis was not performed to identify the definitive cause of the failed weld.

Two snubbers (22

-59SL & 22-60SL) had been removed from the piping in 1988, during the Snubber Reduction Program. The licensee determined that snubber removal probably contributed to this event.

The equivalent piping on Unit 2 is generally similar in geometry, however it has two rigid restraints (one lateral and one vertical), and one lateral snubber on the discharge side of the relief valve.

The licensee assume that the only potential source of cyclical loading on the weld was from vibrations cause by components within the RHR system, but did not take additional vibrational data with the plant in normal operating conditions. The socket weld wa s

replaced on June 27, 2013. The new weld used a 2:1 leg ratio fillet weld, which has improved fatigue resistance over the original equal

-leg socket weld. This weld configuration is recommended by EPRI

, and is used by the industry and Diablo Canyon Power Plant where enhanced fatigue resistance is required.

Based on a comparison with the Unit 2 piping system, the licensee determined that new rigid lateral support(s) on Line 1184-1 were necessary to reduce piping vibration. However, the licensee decided to defer installation of the supports until refueling outage 1R19. The licensee assumed this was acceptable based on the new fatigue-resistant weld profile and the fact that it took approximately 25 years to fail the first time.

Because the licensee elected to perform an apparent cause evaluation rather than a root cause evaluation, no definitive root cause for the weld failure was identified, and no corrective actions to prevent recurrence (as defined in the licensee's corrective action program) were taken. Upon the second failure of the relief valve RHR-1-RV-8708 weld (in December 2014), the licensee initiated Notification 50680750 to evaluate the failure and initiated a root cause evaluation to identify the cause of the residual heat removal system vibrations.

Analysis.

The failure to identify the cause of the failed weld for Relief Valve RHR-1-RV-8708 and to take corrective actions to prevent recurrence of a significant condition adverse to quality is a performance deficiency. The performance deficiency is more than minor because if left uncorrected, it could lead to a more significant safety concern. Specifically, although individual actions were taken to address the failure caused by vibrations, the cause of the failure was not identified nor were adequate actions taken to prevent recurrence of the weld failure. The lack of corrective actions to prevent recurrence could leave RHR components and other components physically connected to the system susceptible to future failures. Using Inspection Manual Chapter 0609, Appendix A, the inspectors determined the issue to have very low safety significance (Green) because the finding, which affected the mitigating systems cornerstone, did not result in an actual loss of system function for greater than its technical specification allowed outage time.

This finding has a cross

-cutting aspect in the human performance area of Conservative Bias decision making because individuals failed to use decision making

-practices that emphasize prudent choices over those that are simply allowable. Specifically, the licensee chose to only install a fatigue resistance weld rather than install additional pipe supports as were in the Unit 2 system. [H.

14].

Enforcement.

Title 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion XVI, "Corrective Action," requires, in part, that for a significant condition adverse to quality, the measures shall assure that the cause of the condition is determined and corrective action taken to preclude repetition. Contrary to the above, between June 2013 and October 2015, the licensee failed to assure that the cause of a significant condition adverse to quality was determined and failed to implement corrective actions to preclude repetition. Specifically, the licensee failed to determine that the vibration

-induced failure of valve RH R-1-RV-8708 was significant and failed to identify a definitive cause for the failure and take corrective actions to prevent recurrence of the failure.

After the second failure of valve RHR RV-8708 in December 2014, the licensee installed additional piping supports to mitigate the vibrations at the weld. The licensee has planned additional actions to determine the cause of the vibrations and mitigate them, but vibration levels remain elevated. This violation is being treated as an NCV, consistent with Section 2.3.2 of the Enforcement Policy. The violation was entered into the licensee's corrective action program as Notification 50680750.

.2 Semi annual Trend Review

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors reviewed the licensee's corrective action program, performance indicators, system health reports, and other documentation to identify trends that might indicate the existence of a more significant safety issue. The inspectors verified that the licensee was taking corrective actions to address identified adverse trends.

To verify that the licensee was taking corrective actions to address identified adverse trends that might indicate the existence of a more significant safety issue, the inspectors reviewed corrective action program documentation associated with the following licensee-identified trends:

A negative trend identified involving reactor cavity seal leakage (Notifications 50817738 and 50818639)

A potential adverse trend in foreign material exclusion trends (Notifications 50695123 and 50802021

) The specific documents reviewed during this trend review are listed in the attachment. These activities constitute completion of one semiannual trend review sample , a s defined in Inspection Procedure 71152. b. Observations and Assessments The inspectors' review of the trends identified above produced the following observations and assessments:

For negative trend in reactor cavity seal leakage, the licensee chartered a root cause team to evaluate the repeated leakage of the reactor cavity seal during the Unit 1 and 2 refueling outages. The repeated seal leakage resulted in the replacement of excore nuclear instrumentation, increased outage dose to workers, and boric acid leakage from the refueling cavity onto the reactor vessel

. Previous corrective actions to modify the existing cavity seal was not fully successful and had limited results. The inspector discussed with the root cause evaluation team the technical causes and failure modes of reactor cavity seal leakage from historical data and current information gathered during recent Unit 1 refueling outage 1R19.

The inspectors assessed the licensee

's response to the cavity seal leakage , the impact to the reactor vessel from the exposure to boric acid

, and the ongoing root cause evaluation to determine the cause of this negative trend. The inspector s determined the licensee had assigned the appropriate level of evaluation to this trend to determine the root cause and implement the necessary corrective actions to prevent recurrence.

For the negative trend related to foreign material exclusion events, the licensee performed a n evaluation and a quick hit self

-assessment under Notifications 50695123, 50802021, and 50799008 due to online and outage events involving a loss of foreign material exclusion (FME) controls. The evaluation included a review of seventy

-eight FME events from September 1, 2013 through June 9, 2015.

The license performed a quick hit self

-assessment to identify areas of potential weaknesses in the FME program and to identify potential focus areas for improvements.

The self-assessment concluded workers understand the FME program requirements and goals but do not always apply the human performance tools necessary in determining risk with the work activity.

The inspectors concluded that the licensee had conducted an appropriate evaluation to determine areas of weaknesses for the FME events and implemented appropriate bulletins to increase workers awareness.

On November 6, 2015, during a Mode 3 walkdown of the Unit 1 containment lower elevations and near the containment sump, the inspectors observed several loose items and debris left in containment. The inspectors identified tape, adhesive labels, and remnants of a plastic bootie, not properly identified or controlled prior to Mode 4 entry. The inspectors verified the licensee removed the debris from the containment.

The inspectors determined the licensee failed to apply appropriate measures to ensure containment cleanliness and loose debris be controlled and removed during the Unit 1 refueling outage 1R19, in accordance with station procedures STP M-45C, "Outage Management Containment Inspection," and AD4.ID9, "Containment Housekeeping and Material Controls." Specifically, the foreign material total square footage was very small compared to the available recirculation sump screen surface area margin. The licensee appropriately documented this condition in the corrective action program as Notifications 50817774, 50817820, and 50817822.

The inspectors determined that this performance deficiency was a minor violation of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion V, "Procedures.

(Closed) LER 05000 275/1-2 013-0 09-0 1: Unanalyzed Condition Affecting Emergency Diesel Generators

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors verified the accuracy and completeness of the Licensee Event Report (LER) and the appropriateness of the licensee's corrective actions. The inspectors reviewed the immediate corrective actions that developed compensatory measures t o allow the Unit 1 emergency diesel generators (EDGs) to remain operable with sustained winds up to 80 miles per hour (mph) with ambient air temperature up to 97 degrees Fahrenheit.

b. Findings

Introduction.

The inspectors identified a Green non

-cited violation of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion III "Design Control." The licensee's failure to implement design control measures to verify the adequacy of the Unit 1 emergency diesel generators (EDGs) cooling system design to ensure operation of the EDGs under worst

-case environmental conditions was a performance deficiency. Specifically, since initial licensed operation in 1984, the licensee failed to ensure the Unit 1 EDGs were designed and built to operate under worst-case high wind and temperature conditions. As a result, sustained high winds from specific directions could have impacted EDG radiator performance resulting in the unavailability of the Unit 1 EDGs.

Description.

On December 1 4, 2013, the licensee determined that sustained high winds could result in not having adequate engine heat removal to support continuous operation of the Unit 1 EDGs.

The licensee initiated an evaluation of its EDGs because the NRC requested all licensees determine the impact to air-cooled EDGs by winds blowing in the opposite direction of the radiator cooling air.

The licensee's engineers identified a vulnerability to extreme weather.

A combination of sustained high winds over 60 miles per hour and ambient air temperatures exceeding 97 degrees Fahrenheit could reduce cooling capacity such that the emergency diesel generators would exceed design limits.

Unit 1 has three emergency diesel generators that provide vital emergency AC power to three electrical buses to mitigate the consequences of a design basis accident (DBA) whenever normal or offsite power sources are unavailable. The EDGs are designed to function so that a single failure of any EDG will not jeopardize the capability of the remaining EDGs to start and provide power to operate the shutdown systems required to mitigate any DBA condition.

The EDGs use engine-driven fans that provide cooling air to the EDG radiators.

The radiator fan draws air through the radiator, maintaining jacket water temperature and, in turn, maintaining lubricating oil temperature.

Jacket water to the aftercooler also affects combustion air temperature.

The radiator fan also draws ambient air through the engine compartment to cool the equipment housed within it.

Inability to maintain adequate radiator airflow will result in a rise in EDG jacket water temperature, higher component temperatures in the engine compartments, derating of the engine due to increased combustion air temperature, higher lubricating oil temperatures, and high cylinder jacket temperatures.

This could result in a failure of the EDGs to perform their safety function.

Due to the physical orientation and layout of the site, the Unit 2 EDGs were determined not to be susceptible to effects of the extreme weather conditions as described in the LER.

Upon identification of this condition, Operations shift orders were issued that require, when conditions warrant, the implementation of existing procedural guidance to open plant doors to allow additional air flow, shown to provide adequate emergency diesel generator cooling to support continuous operation of the Unit 1 emergency diesel generators. An apparent cause evaluation concluded that the licensee did not have a design process requirement in place to evaluate GDC -2 design criteria relative to SSC functional requirements other than for structural integrity issues. The licensee revised plant procedures to include this requirement and PG&E will issue a design change to permanently modify the plant to resolve the wind issue.

Analysis.

The failure to implement design control measures to ensure the emergency diesel generators could perform their design basis function was a performance deficiency

. The performance deficiency was more than minor and is therefore a finding because it was associated with the design control attribute of the mitigating system cornerstone, and affected the cornerstone objective of ensuring availability, reliability, and capability of systems that respond to initiating events. Specifically, the performance deficiency resulted in a condition where sustained high winds from specific directions could have impacted EDG radiator performance resulting in the unavailability of the Unit 1 EDGs. Using Table 2 of Inspection Manual Chapter (IMC) 0609.04, "Significance Determination Process Initial Characterization of Findings," dated June 19, 2012 , the inspectors concluded that the finding affected the mitigating system cornerstone. The inspectors evaluated the finding using Exhibit 2 of IMC 0609, Appendix A, "The Significance Determination Process for Findings At

-Power," dated June 19, 2012.

The inspectors determined that a detailed risk evaluation by an NRC senior reactor analyst was required since the finding was associated with a loss of EDG function.

The regional senior reactor analyst performed a Phase 3 significance determination process (SDP) analysis for the finding as follows:

The licensee performed a realistic evaluation of emergency diesel generator temperatures, given varying wind and ambient temperature combinations. Specifically, the licensee computed the emergency diesel generator room temperature, jacket water radiator inlet temperature, and the jacket water radiator outlet temperature. The design limits for the analysis were room temperatures less than 120 degrees, inlet temperatures less than 195 degrees, and outlet temperatures less than 160 degrees. The first two values represented points, if exceeded, at which the emergency diesel generator was assumed to fail. The last value, if exceed, was assumed to cause a derating of the diesel generator as opposed to direct failure. The analyst bounded the analysis by placing all postulated weather conditions resulting in diesel failure into the following three bins: 1.

3. Winds of 80 mph or greater with ambient temperatures of 70 degrees or greater

The analyst determined that the subject performance deficiency impacted plant risk from initial reactor startup through December 2013. Therefore, in accordance with the Risk Assessment of Operational Events Handbook, Volume 1, "Internal Events," Revision 2, Section 2.6, "Exposure Time Greater than 1 Year," the maximum exposure time (EXP) was set to the 1

-year assessment period.

In order for the emergency diesel generators to be of importance, a loss of offsite power LOOP) was 3.59 x 10-2/year from the Standardized Plant Analysis Risk (SPAR) model for Diablo Canyon Power Plant, Units 1 and 2. Upon the occurrence of a loss of offsite power, the analyst assumed that high winds would need to occur within 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> to have any major impact on risk. Using the Severe Weather Database (1950

-2011) from the National Weather Service, the analyst reviewed wind data over a 29

-year period and found 47 occurrences of winds greater than 40 mph, four occurrences of winds over 60 mph

, and no occurrences of winds over 80 mph. Using a noninformative prior distribution, the analyst calculated the followin g Wind): Minimum Wind Speed (mph) Occurrences Frequency of Exceedance (per day) 40 47 4.44 E-03 60 4 3.78 E-04 80 0.5 4.72 E-05 The probability of exceeding the minimum wind of interest (PWindWind multiplied by the 2 4 hour4.62963e-5 days <br />0.00111 hours <br />6.613757e-6 weeks <br />1.522e-6 months <br /> (1 day) period of the analysis.

The analyst determined that the best available information regarding temperatures onsite was the mete orological tower data. The analyst reviewed the following information provided by the licensee to determine the probability of exceedance (PTemp): Ambient Temperature (at EDG Inlet)

Met Tower Temperature Probability of Exceedance 60 50 9.15 E-01 70 60 1.47 E-01 80 70 1.50 E-02 90 80 2.20 E-03 100 90 4.59 E-04 Using the SPAR model, the analyst quantified the conditional core damage probability (CCDP) for a postulated loss of offsite power with the failure of all emergency diesel generators on Unit 1. The result was 3.41 x 10

-1. Therefore, assuming that, for the sake of this analysis, wind speed and temperature are independent variables, the incremental conditional core damage probability (ICCDP) for any given bin can be calculated as follows:

ICCDP LOOP

• PWind

• PTemp

• EXP Bin Wind Speed (mph) Wind Probability Temperature (degrees F)

Temperature Probability ICCDP 1 50 4.44 E-03 90 2.20 E-03 1.20 E-07 2 70 3.78 E-04 80 1.50 E-02 6.94 E-08 3 80 4.72 E-05 70 1.47 E-01 8.50 E-08 Total ICCDP

2.74E-07 Given that the internal events change in core damage frequency (equivalent to the ICCDP) is less than 1 x 10

-6, the analyst determined that the subject finding was of very low safety significance (Green).

Contributions from External Events (Fire, Flooding, Seismic and High Winds): In accordance with the guidance in NRC Inspection Manual Chapter 0609, Appendix A, "The Significance Determination Process (SDP) for findings At

-Power," the analyst performed an evaluation of the external event risk contribution because the internal events detailed risk evaluation results were greater than 1.0 x 10

-7. The analyst determined that the plant response to the external events fire, flooding and seismic would not be greatly impacted by this performance deficiency because none of the initiators would impact the probability of high winds and high temperatures occurring at the same time. Therefore, only high winds related initiators were considered to be potentially impacted by this performance deficiency.

For high winds initiators to be affected by the performance deficiency, winds must be strong enough to result in a loss of offsite power. As stated previously, using the Severe Weather Database (1950

-2011) from the National Weather Service there were no winds greater than 80 mph reported within a 100 kilometer radius of the plant over the 29 years that strong winds were documented. Additionally, using SeverePlot output from January 1, 1950 to December 31, 2006, there were no F2 or stronger tornado es within a 100 k m radius of the plant over the 56

-year period of the data. Traditionally, analysts have not correlated F0 and F1 tornadoes with winds that could cause widespread loss of offsite power. By definition, F1 tornado damage is limited to peeling off residential roof surfaces, breaking windows and pushing moving automobiles off roads, and not the more severe damage that would be associated with a complete loss of offsite power. Therefore, the analyst determined qualitatively that the impact of this performance deficiency on plant response to high winds external initiators was negligible.

Potential Risk Contribution from Large, Early Release Frequency

In accordance with the guidance in NRC Inspection Manual Chapter 0609, Appendix H, "Containment Integrity Significance Determination Process," this finding would not involve a significant increase in risk of a large, early release of radiation because Diablo Canyon Power Plant, Unit 1 , has a large, dry containment and the dominant sequences contributing to the change in the core damage frequency did not involve either a steam generator tube rupture or an inter

-system loss of coolant accident.

A cross-cutting aspect was not assigned to the finding since the finding did not represent current licensee performance. The condition existed since original construction of the plant.

Enforcement.

Title 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion III, "Design Control," states, in part, that measures shall be established to assure the design basis for those SSCs to which this appendix applies are correctly translated into specifications and drawings and that the design control measures shall provide for verifying or checking the adequacy of design. FSAR U Section 3.1.2, "Criterion 2

-Design Basis for Protection against Natural Phenomena," states, in part, that SSCs important to safety shall be designed to withstand effects of natural phenomena such as hurricanes without loss of capability to perform their safety function. FSAR U Section 2.3.2.2.2, "Maximum ambient Temperature," states that the maximum design temperature applied to the EDG radiator performance is 97 degrees Fahrenheit. FSAR U Section 2.3.1.3, "Maximum Wind Speed," states, in part, that the maximum wind assumed to act on the EDG radiators is 80 mph. Contrary to the above, from initial licensed operations to December 1 4, 2013, for quality

-related components associated with Unit 1 emergency diesel generators to which 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B applies , the licensee failed to assure the design basis was correctly translated into specifications and drawings

. Specifically, the specifications for the Unit 1 EDGs air cooling systems failed to ensure that the design basis for the Unit 1 EDGs, as specified in FSARU Sections 3.1.2 were not adversely impacted by sustained high temperature and winds specified in FSARU Section 2.3.2.2.2 and 2.3.1.3. The licensee entered the issue into their corrective action program as Notification 50599190; revised plant procedures to include improve design reviews, as well as, issue d a design change to permanently modify the plant to resolve the issue.

This violation is being treated as an NCV, consistent with Section 2.3.2 of the Enforcement Policy. The violation was entered into the licensee's corrective action program as Notification 50599190. (NCV 05000275/2015004
