11 IV. OTHER ACTIVITES OA.1.1 (Discussed) Electrical Conduit and Conduit Supports Corrective Action Program Plan (Temporary Instruction 2512/018, Inspection Procedures 51051, 51053, and 51055)
a. Inspection Scope
Background
- The Electrical Conduit and Conduit Supports Corrective Action Program (CAP) (Conduit CAP) was developed by TVA to address programmatic and structural deficiencies associated with conduits and conduit supports. Integrated inspection Report (IIR)05000391/2010604 documented inspection results and background details of the Conduit CAP. Recent inspection efforts, associated with the Conduit CAP, were documented in IIRs 05000391/09-605, 05000391/10-603, 05000391/10-604, 05000391/11-605, and 05000391/11-607. This inspection was to gather and evaluate sufficient information to make a determination as to whether the applicant's Conduit CAP had been adequately developed. This was done to ensure that the Unit 1 historical issues were being resolved for Unit 2. This inspection focused on a review of the adverse conditions involving the Conduit CAP which were programmatically characterized by TVA.
Inspection Activities
- Modification Addition Instruction (MAI) 3.1, "Installation of Electrical Conduit Systems & Conduit Boxes," Rev.18 , was reviewed to ensure consistent implementation of design output documents. The inspectors reviewed design output documents as well as design basis documents. The inspectors reviewed design criteria document WB-DC-
40-31.10, "Seismically Qualifying Conduit Supports
," Rev. 11, to verify whether the design criteria were updated to address previous Unit 1 discrepancies, along with supporting Unit 1 calculations. The inspectors reviewed the design criteria to verify that they were consistent with the Final Safety Analysis Report (FSAR). The inspectors reviewed the adequacy of the design output documents; such as drawings, calculations, and specifications. During the review, the inspectors reviewed the design output documents to verify that all design parameters (e.g., location, orientation, support, etc.)
were appropriately addressed and the issued modifications were implemented accordingly.
The inspectors held discussions with engineering and quality assurance (QA) personnel
about the implementation and oversight of t he Conduit CAP. The inspectors reviewed some of the bounding critical cases of existing installations and evaluated the supports against the design basis. The inspectors observed that for cases where the existing/as-built configurations could not be qualified by the bounding critical cases with engineering judgment, modifications were generated in the form of EDCRs or field change requests (FCRs). The inspectors interviewed applicant's QA personnel to verify that surveillances, audits and assessments were performed for Conduit CAP activities.
The inspectors sampled several safety-related conduit supports associated with the Conduit CAP. This included the review and field verification of the relevant sections of the drawings and as-built installation walkdown packages for a sample of conduit supports with typical configuration and dimensional characteristics. The conduit supports with typical configurations were identified and characterized by TVA as part of the Conduit CAP development. TVA designated these conduit supports by their typical drawing number (i.e. common drawings used originally to fabricate the conduit supports). The inspectors reviewed "Typical 66" conduit supports numbers 8141 and 12 5334 to verify they were installed, located, oriented and supported in accordance with construction specification, and installation and design drawings.
The inspectors reviewed and evaluated qualification records of walkdown personnel to determine whether the qualification records met stated requirements and were adequately maintained. The inspectors review ed 18 records to determine if they reasonably supported qualifications in terms of authentication, certification, experience, proficiency, training, testing, and other qualification requirements. This review was also performed to satisfy questions associated with qualification requirements.
A sample of PERs was reviewed by the inspectors to determine whether records were legible, complete, and promptly reviewed by qualified personnel. These PER records were also reviewed to verify if they were properly and timely processed, evaluated, identified, controlled and stored. The inspectors verified that these PERs included the status of corrective action(s) or resolution, as well as adequate justification for any use-as-is dispositions.
The following samples were inspected:
- IP 51053 Section 02.02.f - 2 samples
- IP 51055 Section 02.03 - 18 samples
- IP 51055 Section 02.04 - 2 samples
b. Observations and Findings
The inspectors identified the following unresolved item (URI):
Introduction:
The inspectors identified an unresolved item associated with the qualification records and requirements of walkdown personnel.
Description:
During the inspection period, the inspectors reviewed qualification records and requirements of walkdown personnel. The inspectors identified a number of examples where objective evidence was not available to confirm the qualification of personnel to perform walkdown activities in accordance with procedures requirements.
In the first example, Calculation WCG-2-308, "Engineering Walkthrough and Evaluation of Conduit and Conduit Supports," Rev. 1, which details the requirements for walkthrough evaluations of safety-related conduit and conduit supports, associated with the Conduit CAP, states under Section 5.1, "Preliminary Actions: Ensure all engineering personnel involved in the walkdown have received training in this calculation." However, the inspectors could not find objective evidence to conclude that several engineering personnel, including walkdown engineers, were previously trained on this calculation to perform walkdown activities in accordance with the procedure.
In the second example, Calculation WCG-2-308, "Engineering Walkthrough and Evaluation of Conduit and Conduit Supports," Rev. 1, states under Section 5.1, "Preliminary Actions: Ensure personnel used to record weld data are either certified Weld Inspectors or have had documented training by TVA course QNQ002, 'Weld Identification and Sizing Techniques,' that will qualify them to use a weld sizing gauge and to verify weld type, size, length, and location as required by this Calculation."
However, the inspectors could not find objective evidence to conclude that two engineering personnel, including walkdown engineers, were previously trained on this calculation to perform walkdown activities in accordance with the procedure.
13 In the third example, WDP-GEN-1, "Walkdown Procedure for General Walkdown Requirements," Rev. 14, which addresses the common aspect of walkdowns such as definitions, training/qualification requirements, required equipment, and documentation requirements, requires in sections 4.2 and 4.3, under "Prerequisite Actions: Ensure personnel involved in the Walkdown have received training in accordance with Appendix B," and "Ensure personnel involved in the Walkdown meet the qualification/experience requirements of Appendix B," respectively. However, the inspectors could not find objective evidence to conclude that one walkdown engineer was previously trained on this calculation to perform walkdown activities in accordance with the procedure.
In the fourth example, WDP-C-3, "Walkdown Procedure for Civil," Rev. 3, which provides instructions for colleting walkdown data of safety-related conduit and conduit supports, associated with the Conduit CAP, states under Section 4.1, "Preliminary Actions: Refer
to Prerequisite requirements of WDP-GEN-1." Sections 4.2 and 4.3 of WDP-GEN-1, "Walkdown Procedure for General Walkdown Requirements," Rev. 14, requires: "Ensure personnel involved in the Walkdown have received training in accordance with Appendix B," and "Ensure personnel inv olved in the Walkdown meet the qualification/experience requirements of Appendix B," respectively. However, the inspectors could not find objective evidence to conclude that one walkdown engineer was previously trained on this calculation to perform walkdown activities in accordance with the procedure.
The applicant initiated PER 592709 to address the issues of concern identified by the inspectors as discussed in the four examples above. The inspectors determined that additional information was required to determine if walkdown personnel were adequately trained and qualified, as required by the procedures, for the scope of these activities. The additional review by the NRC is required to determine if this issue of concern represents a performance deficiency, a mo re-than-minor performance deficiency, or constitutes a violation of NRC requirements. This issue was identified as URI 05000391/2012607-01, "Discrepancies Associated with Training Records and Requirements of Conduit CAP Personnel."
c. Conclusions
The inspectors reviewed a sample of completed actions, associated with the Conduit CAP, to evaluate whether the progr am was adequately developed and implemented. The inspectors concluded that additional inspection would be required to resolve additional questions associated with the program development and implementation, including questions associated with training records and procedural requirements.
The inspectors were not able to observe a sufficient amount of completed field work to evaluate the adequacy of field implementation. Therefore, additional inspection will be needed to evaluate the adequacy of the field implementation.
OA.1.2 (Discussed) Corrective Action Tracking Document 50400-WBN-04: Cracking Problems in Safety Injection Accumulators (IP 35007)
a. Inspection Scope
This issue involved the fact that cracking problems that had been identified on a cold leg accumulator (CLA) on Unit 1 and this required review for applicability to Unit 2 (reference Unit 1 PER WBP900419). This item also identified a previous problem with CLA support welds on Unit 1 which required review for applicability to Unit 2 (reference CATD 50400-WBN-04). The inspectors reviewed documentation associated with these issues 14 including the original PER, welding records for both units' CLAs, and applicant documentation for the Corrective Action Tracking Document.
b. Observations and Findings
No findings were identified. The applicant showed that the cracking issue was isolated to the Unit 1 CLA number 3 and that the cracking had occurred as a result of weld repairs performed due to previous use of the wrong weld filler material. Unit 2 weld records showed that repairs had not been made on Unit 2 and the correct weld filler material had been used. The potential problem with support welds was being tracked but had not yet been evaluated by the applicant.
c. Conclusions
The applicant's evaluation of the cracking issue was adequate and, therefore, this portion of the item is closed. This item remains open pending completion of the applicant's review of the Unit 2 CLA supports for potential problems.
OA.1.3 (Discussed) Bulletin 88-11: Pressurizer Surge Line Thermal Stratification (Inspection Procedure 92717)
a. Inspection Scope
Background: The BL identified that unexpected movement of the pressurizer surge line had been observed at operating nuclear power plants due to thermal stratification in the line. In view of the occurrence of thermal stratification, licensees were requested to establish and implement a program to confirm pressurizer surge line integrity and also to inform the NRC of the actions taken to resolve this issue. TVA response for Unit 1 was deemed acceptable in IIR 50-390/94-55. NRC letter, dated October 30, 1992, concluded that the TVA response and associated Westinghouse report were acceptable for Units 1 and 2.
Unit 2 actions are to complete modifications to accommodate surge line thermal movement and incorporate a temperature limitation, during heat-up and cool-down operations, into the Unit 2 procedures. TVA applied the leak-before-break evaluation for the surge line. The NRC recognized acceptance of this philosophy permitted by General Design Criteria (GDC)-4 in an NRC letter dated April 28, 1993, and authorized elimination of a pressurizer surge line rupture from the design basis for both units.
Inspection Activities: The inspectors previously reviewed documentation for this issue and observed craft field activities (see IIR 05000391/2011610, Section OA.1.2). During this inspection the inspectors conducted additional field observations and reviewed additional documentation of the vendor analysis of the Unit 2 pressurizer surge line support design (Westinghouse letter WBT-D-3617, Watts Bar Unit 2 Surge Line Layout
Comparison).
b. Observations and Findings
No findings were identified. The inspectors noted that field work on the supports was nearing completion with only minor work remaining on the last support. Supports matched drawings for the modifications and appeared visually to be of high quality such as the coating of removal areas and condition of weld surfaces. The additional documentation showed that the new support design was equivalent to the Unit 1 design.
c. Conclusions
The applicant's actions to date are considered adequate and this item is considered acceptable at the engineering complete stage. Additional NRC inspection is required to verify the incorporation of temperature limits in Unit 2 operating procedures and confirmation of thermal deflections during hot functional testing.
OA.1.4 (Discussed) Bulletin 88-08: Thermal Stresses in Piping Connected to Reactor Coolant System (Inspection Procedure 92717)
a. Inspection Scope
Background: This Bulletin (BL) issue resulted from industry experience when several PWR plants experienced leakage in the RCS due to cracking resulting from thermal stratification in the RCS. Potential cracking was shown to occur from in-leakage into the RCS of colder water and out-leakage of RCS onto cooler lines causing thermal fatigue cracks. The applicant's original response to the BL from 1994 was credited for actions planned to address this issue. This response indicated that a modification to one line of piping would be performed and NRC would be notified upon completion of the modification.
Inspections Activities: The inspectors reviewed the documentation contained in the applicant's engineering complete package which included the historic NRC documentation, previous applicant commitments, the updated analysis to meet industry guidelines for thermal stratification, and the current action plan.
b. Observations and Findings
No findings were identified. The inspectors noted that the applicant's plans were different than the initial BL response indicated, in that, rather than performing the modification, monitoring of leakage was planned for two areas and inspection of three drain lines was planned. The applicant's vendor analysis for this issue was based on the latest industry guidance, MRP-146, "Management of Thermal Fatigue in Normally Stagnant Non-Isolable Reactor Coolant System Branch Lines," Rev. 1. This standard was pending publication and had not yet been endorsed by the NRC.
c. Conclusions
The applicant's planned actions to correct this problem are different than the original credited commitments and based on discussions with the TVA licensing, a new response to BL 88-08 has been planned in order for the NRC to conduct a proper review of the revised actions to address this issue. This item remains open pending review of the updated BL response and implementation of approved actions.
OA.1.5 (Discussed) Construction Deficiency Report 391/81-07: Steel Containment Penetration Assembly (Inspection Procedure 92701)
a. Inspection Scope
Background
- The subject deficiency was initially reported to the NRC on December 19, 1980, in accordance with 10 CFR 50.55(e) as non-conformance report (NCR) WBN CEB 8014. The NRC documented the deficiency as construction deficiency report (CDR) 50-390/81-08 for Unit 1 and CDR 50-391/81-07 for Unit 2.
16 As stated in TVA's final report issued on October 19, 1983, the NCR was written to identify a design deficiency identified by TVA's Division of Engineering Design where TVA was unaware of the significant axial loading induced into a piping system at the bellows penetration due to steel containment vessel (SCV) pressurization following a loss of coolant accident (LOCA). The residual heat removal (RHR), main steam, main feedwater, and feedwater bypass pipes penetrate the SCV through free floating bellows penetration assemblies. During a LOCA, the maximum design pressure existing inside
the SCV is 15 lb/in
2. This pressure will produce an axial load on the effective areas of the SCV penetration openings. These axial loads were not originally considered by the piping analyst.
TVA identified 13 rigorously analyzed problems which were affected by the axial loads produced on the free floating bellows penetration assemblies. The reanalysis of all of the 13 problems have been completed and all related piping drawings have been issued for both units. All redesign work for the Unit 1 piping supports, affected by the reanalysis, is complete. CDR 50-390/81-08 wa s closed by the NRC on April 24, 1984 in integrated inspection reports (IIRs) 50-390/84-25 and 50-391/84-20.
For Unit 2, the following actions have been taken:
1. The impacted free floating bellows penetration assembly models were corrected and the affected pipe stress analyses were revised. The shield wall anchorages for non-free floating bellows assemblies were reevaluated. Design changes were implemented by engineering change notice (ECN) 2800.
2. ECN 4755 was initiated to perform Unit 2 work for NCR WBN CEB 8014 that was included in ECN 2800, but not completed as of April 18, 1984.
3. The design work was completed as documented in closed ECNs 2800 and 4755. NCR WBN CEB 8014, R1 has been closed.
4. The WBN Unit 2 Hanger and Analysis Updated Program (HAAUP) Corrective Action Program has performed the same review and update of the pipe stress analysis and pipe support design calculations as was performed under the Unit 1 HAAUP.
5. Unit 2 piping that penetrates the SCV through bellows penetrations has been reanalyzed in piping calculations 0600250-02-0, 02-04 (feedwater) and 0600250-06-01, 06-02, 06-03, 06-04 (main steam) and qualified in accordance with applicable
WBN criteria and procedures using current design inputs.
6. Modifications resulting from these piping analyses, which pass through free floating penetrations, have been transmitted to Construction via engineering document construction releases (EDCRs) 52430, 52431, 52435, 52437, 52438, 52439, and
52457.
Remaining Unit 2 Actions:
Engineering actions to resolve t he issue have been completed and remaining modification is being tracked by PER construction action 172772-008. This commitment will be closed by the applicant after the completion of EDCRs 52430, 52431, 52435, 52437, 52438, 52439, and 52457.
Inspection Activities: The inspectors reviewed the applicant's completed and proposed actions to resolve the deficiency by reviewing the engineering complete closure 17 package, which included EDCRs, drawing changes, calculations, and WOs mentioned above.
b. Observations and Findings
- No findings were identified.
c. Conclusions
- Additional inspection activities are still r equired prior to closure of CDR 50-391/81-07; specifically, the inspectors will review TVA's field implementation.
OA.1.6 (Discussed) Construction Deficiency Report 391/87-23: Failed Motor Pinion Keys & Motor Shaft in Limitorque Operator (Inspection Procedure 50075)
a. Inspection Scope
Background: The applicant identified multiple motor-operated valves (MOVs) with failed motor pinion keys and motor shafts in Limitorque actuators, the original equipment manufacturer. These failures consisted primarily of circumstances resulting from high impact loading on components inside of the MOV actuator and were the result of rapid impact overloading in high speed MOV actuators with valve stem speeds greater than 50 inches/minute. The applicant implemented modifications to Limitorque actuators that experienced rapid impact overloading to slow down many of these MOV actuators so they would have valve stem speeds of less than 50 inches/minute, and have motor shaft and pinion key fabricated with higher strength material.
Inspection Activities:
The inspectors reviewed the applicant's engineering complete closure packages, purchase order (PO), and specification to ensure that proposed actions would satisfy the concerns identified in CDR 391/87-23. Specifically, EDCR-2 54850 and EDCR-2 54851 and various corrective action documents were reviewed to verify that the applicant addressed the problems of MOV actuator failures. In addition, the inspectors reviewed TVA PO 25157 and TVA Project Specification 25402-011-3PS-MUMA-00001 to ensure that adequate requirements existed in the specification and PO for the replacement MOV actuators to address the issue of failed Limitorque actuator motor pinion keys and motor shafts.
The inspectors reviewed several letters on the issue of failed motor pinion keys and motor shafts in Limitorque actuators to verify that the applicant addressed these failures correctly and implemented adequate corrective actions. The inspectors reviewed the applicant's condition adverse to quality report (CAQR) WBP870996, which was subsequently reclassified into significant corrective action report (SCAR)
WBP870996SCA. The inspectors also reviewed SCAR WBP870996SCA. The SCAR WBP870996SCA documented the motor pinion key and motor shaft failures, and actions that the applicant was going to take to address these failures. Documents reviewed are listed in the attachment.
b. Observations and Findings
No findings were identified.
c. Conclusions
18 All documentation reviewed to date wa s adequate and properly detailed. Additional observations and review of documents related to this issue are needed prior to closure of this CDR.
OA.1.7 (Discussed) Construction Deficiency Report 391/89-02: Deficiency in the Design of the Emergency Gas Treatment System (Inspection Procedure 92701)
a. Inspection Scope
- Background
- The subject deficiency was initially reported to the NRC on February 8, 1989, in accordance with 10 CFR 50.55(e) as CAQR WBP 880773 for Unit 1 and CAQR WBP 880772 for Unit 2. The NRC documented the deficiency as CDR 50-390/89-01 for Unit 1 and CDR 50-391/89-02 for Unit 2.
As stated in TVA's final report issued on March 7, 1989, both CAQRs were written to identify the same design deficiency in the Units 1 and 2 emergency gas treatment system (EGTS). The deficiency identified that a single failure of the auto path controls for the discharge modulating damper of the air cleanup subsystem or a mechanical failure of the auto path discharge modulating dampers could prevent the automatic switchover to the standby exhaust path. This failure to switchover would result in the loss of annulus pressure control capabilities. The cause of this design deficiency was that this specific type of failure was not anticipated in the initial design.
TVA initially issued drawing change notice (DCN) P-03419-A to resolve CAQR 880773.
The DCN installed time delay relays 1-62-65-81, -83, -86, and -87 to provide an electrical back-up to the pressure switches that arm the transfer to the standby train. In addition to issuing the DCN, engineering procedures and project guidelines were revised and issued to prevent recurrence of this type of deficiency.
The NRC reviewed TVA's response for adequacy, recurrence control, and performed field inspections to verify implementation of DCN P-03419-A. The NRC concluded that the corrective actions implemented were adequate and closed the CDR in NRC IIRs 50-390/91- 26, 50-391/91-26, 50-390/92-22, and 50-391/92-22.
In April 2007, an issue was identified by TVA that constant operator monitoring would be required if, following an accident, the containment isolation phase 'A' signal is reset prior to annulus differential pressure decreasing to the setpoint needed for the EGTS pressure control loop's isolation valves to open. Subsequently, DCN 52216 was issued to modify the logic for the EGTS pressure control valves (PCV) so that they are independent of the annulus differential pressure. The modification eliminates the EGTS PCVs for Train 'A' and Train 'B' auxiliary relay circuits, including the time delay relays previously added by DCN P-03419-A, and removes the A-Auto Standby position and function from the respective PCV's hand-switches. The current design places both EGTS control loops in the A-Auto position.
According to the engineering complete package, Unit 2's design will be identical to the current Unit 1 configuration. The required Unit 2 modifications were being implemented by DCN 5264. As discussed, time delay relays are no longer required in the control loops. Inspection Activities: The inspectors reviewed the applicant's proposed actions to resolve the deficiency by reviewing the engineering complete closure package, which included DCN 52641 and applicable drawing changes and WOs.
b. Observations and Findings
- No findings were identified.
c. Conclusions
- Additional inspection activities are still r equired prior to closure of CDR 50-391/89-02; specifically, the inspectors will review TVA's field implementation.
OA.1.8 (Discussed) Construction Deficiency Report 391/89-05: Failure of Auxiliary Feedwater Steam Generator Level Controllers (Inspection Procedure 92701)
a. Inspection Scope
- Background: On April 30, 1986, TVA issued a 10 CFR 50.55(e) NCR due to failures in the Beckman 8800 model auxiliary feedwater (AFW) steam generator level controllers. The NRC documented this deficiency as CDR 50-390/86-51 for Unit 1 and CDR 50-391/86-51 for Unit 2. Excessive heat build up on the controllers was found as blistering on the output boards of the AFW level controllers. As the state of the AFW level controllers was indeterminate, this could have resulted in the steam generator level to be outside the desired operating limit, which could have adversely affected the safe shutdown of the plant. Rather than repair the components, the licensee decided to replace the controllers with a different system.
The purpose of the AFW system is to provide feedwater to remove primary system decay heat in the event of loss of main feedwater. The AFW steam generator level controllers are used to open and close the control valves associated with the AFW turbine driven and motor driven pumps.
Inspector Activities: The inspectors reviewed the applicant's proposed actions to resolve the deficiency by reviewing the engineering complete closure package, which included EDCR 52343. The inspectors reviewed PER 172734, DCNs 53338 and P-03373-B, and WO 09-954559-001. The inspectors also reviewed Unit 1 designs associated with the AFW level controllers to verify the changes made on Unit 1 were the same as Unit 2.
b. Observations and Findings
- No findings were identified.
The Unit 1 controllers operate on a range of 10-50 µA and the Unit 2 controllers operate on a range of 4-20 µA. However, in the future, Unit 1 plans to switch the controllers to the same range as Unit 2.
c. Conclusions
- Additional inspection activities are still r equired prior to closure of CDR 50-391/86-51; specifically, the inspectors will review TVA's field implementation.
OA.1.9 (Discussed) Construction Deficiency Report 391/90-11: Potential for Gas Accumulation in Emergency Core Cooling System Piping (Inspection Procedure 92701)
a. Inspection Scope
- Background: On January 8, 1991, TVA issued a 10 CFR 50.55(e) NCR due to gas accumulation in the ECCS at the Sequoyah Nuclear Plant. The NRC documented this 20 deficiency as CDR 50-390/90-11 for Unit 1 and CDR 50-391/90-11 for Unit 2. This gas accumulation caused the centrifugal charging pump (CCP) to become gas bound when started. If there is gas accumulation in the ECCS, the operability of the CCPs is indeterminate. Watts Bar Nuclear Plant has a similar design, so it was determined that there was the potential for gases to accumulate in the WBN CCPs as well.
The CCPs provide high pressure coolant injection into the reactor core and are used
during a LOCA.
Inspector Activities: The inspectors reviewed the applicant's actions to resolve the deficiency by reviewing the engineering complete closure package, which included EDCR 52945 and EDCR 53421. The inspectors also reviewed PER 144224, DCN M-20638-A, and LTR-LIS-08-627 Attachment 1. The inspectors also reviewed Unit 1 actions associated with the same CDR to verify that the actions planned for Unit 2 were the same as those performed on Unit 1.
b. Observations and Findings
- No findings were identified.
c. Conclusions
- Additional inspection activities are still required prior to closure of CDR 391/90-11; specifically, the inspectors will review TVA's field implementation.
OA.1.10 (Closed) Three Mile Island Action Item III.D.3.4: Control Room Habitability (Inspection Procedure 35007)
a. Inspection Scope
Background
- The control room design review (CRDR) program was developed in response to NRC NUREG-0660, which was established following the Three Mile Island (TMI) Station accident, in order to identify and correct licensee/applicant human factor discrepancies in the control rooms. NUREG guidance for the conduct of the CRDR allowed licensees to perform a preliminary design assessment to identify human engineering discrepancies (HEDs) and establish a schedule for corrections with NRC staff approval and complete a full CRDR at a later date. Guidance for conducting a detailed control room design review (DCRDR) was provided in NUREG-0700 and NUREG-0801 and additional guidance provided in NUREG-0737 and NUREG-0737, Supplement 1.
TVA performed a preliminary design assessment which was submitted to NRC in March 1981. A CRDR summary report was identified as a license condition in order to implement corrective actions and resolve the discrepancies identified. In October 1987, the CRDR summary report for both Units 1 and 2 was submitted by TVA. The DCRDR had been performed for Watts Bar Unit 1, in which 222 HEDs for implementation were identified. All of the 222 have been successfully implemented on Unit 1, and the NRC has completed their final assessment of the CRDR Special Program and issued a safety evaluation report (SER) for Unit 1 meeting NRC requirements satisfactorily.
Unit 2 control room design was designed to be identical to Unit 1; however, there are design differences that exist between Units 1 and 2 that may require differences in design changes. The approach used to implement design changes and correct 21 deficiencies on Unit 1 was the same for Unit 2. Therefore, a separate DCRDR will not be required for Unit 2. Since the Unit 2 control room layout is based on Unit 1, the 222 HEDs will be addressed by the Unit 2 CRDR.
There are also commitment items and employee concerns in the CRDR Special Program that will be closed separately in accordance with procedure NGDC PP-19, "Closure of Commitments/Open Items Required for Licensing." This inspection focused on the commitment item being tracked as NCO080008069. This action was required to be completed in accordance with NUREG-0737, TMI Action Item III.D.3.4, Control Room Habitability. This requires licensees to assure that control room operators will be adequately protected against the effects of accidental release of toxic and radioactive gases and that the nuclear power plant can be safely operated or shut down under design basis accident conditions (Criterion 19 of Appendix A, "General Design Criteria" to 10 CFR Part 50). According to the final status of this commitment within the PP-19 closure package, the control room habitability for Unit 2 will be completed upon CRDR completion. The main control room was evaluated using Regulatory Guide (RG)1.95, RG1.78, and GDC 19 and is addressed in the TVA's Final Safety Analysis Report, Section 6.4 for Unit 1. Inspections on Unit 1 in this area had taken place and were described in IIRs 50-390, 391/94-58, 94-65, 94-73, 95-24, and 95-46. In IIR 50-390/95-74, the TMI action item was closed for Unit 1.
Inspection Activities
The inspectors verified the actions that were addressed within the PP-19 closure package for resolution of TMI Action Item III.D.3.4 requirements to assure they were adequate for Unit 1 and met the requirements for Unit 2 control room habitability. Revision 6 of Supplemental SER Supplement 22, Section 6.4, concluded that the control
room habitability systems met the relevant requirements of TMI Action Plan Item III.D.3.4; GDC 2, 4, 19; RGs 1.52 and 1.78, and therefore considered acceptable for
WBN Unit 2.
The inspectors reviewed applicable calculations: TI-552, "Main Control Room Habitability during a Hazardous Chemical Release," Rev. 14 and TI-RPS-198, "Dose to Control Room Personnel Due to a Regulatory Guide 1.4 Loss of Coolant Accident," Rev. 24.
These calculations were completed for Unit 1 using the guidance of RGs 1.52 and 1.78 and submitted by the licensee to fulfill the requirement of the TMI action by providing results of analyses of control room concentrations from postulated accidental release of toxic gases and control room operator radiation exposures from airborne radioactive material and direct radiation resulting from design-basis accidents. The inspectors verified that the calculations were revised to account for Unit 2 design applicability.
Documents reviewed are listed in the attachment.
b. Observations and Findings
No findings were identified. Based on the review of the commitment NCO080008069 within the PP-19 closure package, the control room habitability design for WBN Unit 2 would be the same for Unit 1 since the main control room envelope is shared for Units 1 and 2. The NRC staff reviewed Unit 1 license amendment 70, dated October of 2008, and accepted the changes to the common systems in the control room habitability
program and the same systems as meeting TMI Action Plan requirements for Unit 2.
22 c. Conclusion The inspectors reviewed the applicant's final closure package and verified the status of TMI Action III.D.3.4. The inspectors determined that the control room habitability requirements have been met by the Unit 2 design based on the commonality of systems between the Unit 1 and Unit 2 control room. Therefore, the inspectors have determined that the TMI Action Item III.D.3.4 is closed and no further inspection is required.
OA.1.11 (Closed) Construction Deficiency Report 391/87-01: Inadequate Support Shown on Typical Valve Support Drawings (Inspection Procedure 92701)
a. Inspection Scope
Background: In October 1986, the applicant initially identified that typical valve support drawings 47A054-41 and -42 allow the support of a valve by means of an attachment to the upper part of the valve only, leaving the bottom of the valve unsupported, contrary to the seismic qualification requirements of the valve as specified by the vendor. The vendor qualified the subject valves by modeling two supports - at the valve body and at the actuator center of gravity. The applicant entered this issue into their corrective action program as SCAR SCRWBNCEB8684SCA to track the concern. The NRC identified the item as CDR 390/87-01 and CDR 391/87-01 for Unit 1 and Unit 2, respectively.
The applicant identified this deficiency as being applicable only to solenoid-actuated valves attached to 3/8-inch heavy wall tubing used in radiation sampling lines associated with System 43 (Sampling and Water Quality).
Approximately 125 valves were noted as affected, with 50 of those valves associated with Unit 2. In May 1990, the applicant initiated SCAR WBP900228SCA to track issue resolution for Unit 2. The applicant initiated DCN C-04325 that same month to add typical valve support details to Support Detail Drawing 47A052, which reflect the as-installed configurations, and four calculations were issued to qualify these supports.
Support calculation 47A052044 and equipment seismic qualification (ESQ) calculation
WCG-ACQ-0391 were issued for Westinghouse-supplied valves (Copes-Vulcan, Fisher, and ITT Grinnell), while calculation 47A052045 and ESQ calculation WCG-ACQ-0216 were issued for Hoke valves. The calculations concluded that the valves met seismic design criteria as originally installed and DCNs initiated for fieldwork (S-16891-A and C-04419-B) reflected these conclusions. For recurrence control, training on controlling procedures was completed. For Unit 1 closure, NRC inspectors reviewed training records and material and determined that the corrective actions relative to recurrence controls for this issue were adequate for both units as discussed in IIRs 50-390(391)/91-26 and conducted walkdowns and documentation reviews to close CDR 50-390/87-01 for Unit 1 in NRC IR 50-390(391)/94-61.
Inspection Activities: The inspectors performed the following inspection activities for Unit 2:
- Reviewed the applicant's closure report including its associated corrective action document PER 144149.
- Reviewed ECN 6660, DCN C-04325, DCN C-04419, and DCN S-16891 to verify the completion of required reconciliatory actions.
- Performed in-plant walkdowns of a number of subject installations, both Hoke and ITT-Grinnell, to verify as-built configurations align with current qualification 23 assumptions.
- Reviewed example implementing instructions and qualification documents for planned replacement of the Hoke valves in Unit 2
b. Observations and Findings
No findings were identified.
c. Conclusions
The inspectors reviewed the applicant's actions contained in the final closure package for CDR 50-391/87-01 and determined those to be adequate. This item is now considered closed for Unit 2.
OA.1.12 (Closed) Unresolved Item 05000391/2011603-06: Apparent Failure to Identify and Prevent Damage to Safety-Related Material and Equipment from Nearby Construction Activities (Inspection Procedure 92701)
a. Inspection Scope
Background: This issue involved damage to equipment identified by NRC after work was completed on the systems in the area apparently caused by nearby construction activities. This included a lack of fusion on tube steel on a support and a strut that was locked up. The inspectors identified that further review was required to determine whether future quality inspections would have identified these issues and what measures were in place to prevent these problems from occurring.
Inspection Activities: The inspectors reviewed the applicant's corrective action documented in PER 533348 to determine if the applicant appropriately resolved the concern in a timely manner. The applicant's actions included repairing the identified discrepancy, verifying various walkdown activities were in place to identify these types of problems, and processes were in place to ensure the protection of adjacent equipment during construction. Walkdowns were established by procedures including prior to hydro testing, prior to insulating, prior to turnovers to the Startup organization and Operations organization, prior to area turnovers, and a loose/damaged and missing parts walkdown.
The inspectors reviewed the procedures associated with each of these walkdowns. In addition, the applicant confirmed processes were in place to ensure equipment protection during construction. Some of these had recently been upgraded. These included caution steps in WOs, use of start cards, pre-job walkdowns, and pre-job briefings. The inspectors reviewed the controls established for these activities.
Documents reviewed are listed in the attachment.
b. Observations and Findings
No findings were identified. The applicant had established appropriate controls, prior to the NRC identification of these problems, to identify similar deficiencies. In addition, improvements were implemented for preventing similar deficiencies identified by the URI. The inspectors confirmed that WOs were initiated and completed for the repairs.
c. Conclusions
Based on the activities reviewed, the inspectors concluded that the URI can be closed without escalation.
24 OA.1.13 (Closed) Construction Deficiency Report 391/89-01: Limitorque Worm Shaft Clutch Gear Failure (Inspection Procedure 50075)
a. Inspection Scope
Background: The applicant identified MOVs with failed worm shaft clutch gears in Limitorque actuators. These failures consisted primarily of circumstances resulting from high impact loading on components inside of the MOV actuator and were identified to be the result of rapid impact overloading when certain Limitorque actuators were declutched into the manual operation mode for valves that were in the closed position.
Inspection Activities: The inspectors reviewed the applicant's engineering complete closure package and POs to ensure that proposed actions would satisfy the concerns identified in CDR 391/89-01, Limitorque Worm Shaft Clutch Gear Failure. Specifically, EDCR-2 54850 and EDCR-2 54851 were reviewed because they encompassed issues that the applicant identified through failures discovered on MOVs, which consisted primarily of circumstances resulting from high impact loading on components inside the MOV actuator.
The inspectors reviewed TVA PO 336540 to ensure replacement MOV actuator component parts were ordered that satisfied the issue of failed Limitorque actuator worm shaft clutch gears at WBN. In addition, the inspectors reviewed Material Receiving Instruction 25402-000-MRI-JV15-00039, "Flowserve Limitorque Parts," Rev. 0
The inspectors reviewed the corrective actions and commitments stated in the applicant's revised final report to the NRC in response to CDR 390/86-30 for Unit 1 and CDR 390/89-01 for Unit 2 dated April 8, 1993.
b. Observations and Findings
No findings were identified.
c. Conclusions
Based upon the review of the applicant's engineering complete closure packages and additional documentation the inspectors concluded that the scope and effectiveness of the applicant's corrective actions were the same as Unit 1, are in compliance with all applicable requirements, and are adequate to ad dress this sub-issue/CDR. Based on these actions, CDR 391/89-01 is closed.
