SUMMARY

The NRC continued monitoring the licensees performance by conducting a quarterly inspection at Vogtle Electric Generating Plant Units 1 and 2 in accordance with the Reactor Oversight Process. The Reactor Oversight Process is the NRCs program for overseeing the safe operation of commercial nuclear power reactors. Refer to http://www.nrc.gov/NRR/OVERSIGHT/ASSESS/index.html for more information. NRC and self-revealed findings, violations, and additional items are summarized in the table below.

List of Findings and Violations Failure to Provide Work Instructions for Sealing Around NSCW System Pump Shaft Well Access Openings Cornerstone Significance Cross-cutting Report Aspect Section Mitigating Green NCV [H.1] - 71111.12 Systems05000424/2018001-001 Resources Opened/Closed An NRC identified Green NCV of Vogtle Electric Generating Plant Technical Specification (TS),

Section 5.4.1.a, Procedures, was identified for the licensees failure to provide work instructions for the sealing of gaps around cover plates for the nuclear service cooling water (NSCW) system pumps shaft well access openings and for the failure to follow work instructions for NSCW tower clean/inspect. Specifically, the licensee failed to provide instructions for sealing around the well plate covers following well plate cover removal/reinstallation in work orders SNC737852 (Unit 1 NSCW pump #3) and SNC737853 (Unit 1 NSCW pump #5). Also, during the performance of a NSCW tower clean/inspect work order, the licensee failed to generate condition reports, as required by the work instructions, upon the discovery of cracks or gaps in the Foreign Material Exclusion (FME) barrier. As a result, gaps were left around the NSCW pumps which could allow foreign material to enter the NSCW system and adversely affect cooling water flow to essential component coolers.

Inadequate Acceptance Criteria for Testing of NSCW Pump Discharge Valves Cornerstone Significance Cross-cutting Report Aspect Section Mitigating Green NCV [H.8] - 71111.22 Systems 05000425/425/2018001-002 Procedure Opened/Closed Adherence An NRC identified Green NCV of 10 CFR 50.55a(f), "Inservice testing (IST) requirements," subsection (4), American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) Operation and Maintenance of Nuclear Power Plants (OM) code Subsection ISTC-5122, Stroke Acceptance Criteria, was identified for the licensees failure to incorporate adequate acceptance criteria for exercise testing of NSCW pump discharge valves into procedures. Specifically, the licensee failed to incorporate acceptance criteria for stroke close exercise testing into in-service test procedures and used inadequate reference values when determining the HIGH/LOW code allowable limits for the stroke open exercise testing.

Inadequate Refurbishment of Emergency Diesel Generator Pneumatic Control System Logic Boards Cornerstone Significance Cross-cutting Report Aspect Section Mitigating Green NCV [H.1] - Resources 71153 Systems05000425/2018001-003 Opened/Closed A Green self-revealing NCV of TS Section 5.4.1.a, Procedures, was identified for the licensees failure to properly preplan and perform maintenance work on the Unit 2 B train (2B)emergency diesel generator (EDG) pneumatic control shutdown logic board. The inadequate shutdown logic board refurbishment resulted in a pneumatic control system air leak that generated an EDG shutdown signal during testing and de-energized the safety-related emergency power bus.

71152 - Problem Identification and Resolution Annual Follow-up of Selected Issues

The inspectors reviewed the licensees implementation of its corrective action program related to the following issues:

(1) Failure to Start of the 2A Emergency Diesel Generator The inspectors reviewed documentation associated with the licensees corrective action program dealing with Unit 2, A EDG to evaluate the effectiveness of the licensees corrective action program in identifying, prioritizing, evaluating, and correcting problems.

The 2A EDG "failed to start" while performing 14980A-2, 2A EDG Operability Test and was declared inoperable. The 2A EDG successfully reached rated speed and voltage; however, a "failed to start" signal prevented satisfying the speed permissive, necessary to allow manual or automatic closure of the output breaker from the main control room.

The inspectors reviewed documents that included an independent evaluation that provided analysis supporting the conclusion that the 2A EDG Speed Switch assembly power circuit is susceptible to failure due to overvoltage conditions local to the 2A EDG engine control panel. This condition is postulated to initiate from the 125 VDC supply indicating lamp socket shorting, resulting in the bulb to blow (open-circuit) and the breaker to open. The bulb filament (when intact) acts to provide a voltage suppression path for the energy released by the power fail solenoid coil as voltage collapses when the circuit breaker trips open. This energy release without the bulb filament present, potentially fails the 125V to 24V DC-DC converter used to power the associated speed switch assembly. The inspector determined that the licensee properly utilized the CAP to identify, analyze and correct the fail to start signal on the 2A EDG. The licensee effective use of the program resulted in identifying the root cause and proposed actions to prevent recurrence.

(2) Unit 2 Loss of Control Power to the Pressurizer Group B Backup Heaters.

The inspectors reviewed and evaluated licensee troubleshooting work activities and corrective action program documentation associated with a loss of control power event to the Unit 2 pressurizer group B backup heaters that occurred on January 29, 2018.

Specifically, during data gathering work activities of the pressurizer pressure control loop, the group B backup heaters control room hand switch lost indication power when expected and demanded to energize. The licensee declared the heater inoperable due to being unable to control its operation from the main control room. Licensee troubleshooting identified that the heaters were actually energized with its power breaker closed and narrowed the loss of control power to two possible causes;

(1) a remote shutdown panel transfer switch and/or

(2) a 52a relay contact in the heaters main breaker opening circuit. The licensee cycled (wiped) the transfer switch multiple times as these style switches have had operating experience with high resistance of contacts due to oxidation and/or dust buildup on the contacts. On the sixth cycle, control power was restored and the heaters operated satisfactorily. Although power was restored following cycling of the transfer switch, oxidation and/or dust buildup on the contacts was not expected as this transfer switch had been in-service since September 2017 and was routinely cycled five times as part of surveillance and preventative maintenance activities with no issues. The licensee expanded its troubleshooting and removed the heaters power breaker and identified higher than normal resistance across the 52a contact. The licensee determined the most likely cause to be the 52a contact due to the high resistance and took CAs to replace the breaker. Additional corrective actions included a long term CA (SNC 922269) to remove, inspect, and replace the transfer switch during the next refueling outage. The inspectors determined that the licensee properly utilized the CAP to identify, analyze and correct the loss of power to the pressurizer Group B backup heaters. Other documents reviewed by the inspectors included one-line and elementary diagrams, corrective action reports (CARs), and condition reports (CRs).

INSPECTION RESULTS

Failure to Provide Work Instructions for Sealing Around NSCW System Pump Shaft Well Access Openings Cornerstone Significance Cross-cutting Report Aspect Section Mitigating Green NCV [H.1] - 71111.12 Systems05000424/2018001-001 Resources Opened/Closed

Introduction:

An NRC identified Green NCV of Vogtle Nuclear Station TS, Section 5.4.1.a, Procedures, was identified for the licensees failure to provide work instructions for the sealing of gaps around cover plates for the nuclear service cooling water (NSCW) system pumps shaft well access openings and for the failure to follow work instructions for NSCW tower clean/inspect. Specifically, the licensee failed to provide instructions for sealing around the well plate covers following well plate cover removal/reinstallation in work orders SNC737852 (Unit 1 NSCW pump #3) and SNC737853 (Unit 1 NSCW pump #5). Also, during the performance of a NSCW tower clean/inspect work order, the licensee failed to generate condition reports, as required by the work instructions, upon the discovery of cracks or gaps in the foreign material exclusion (FME) barrier. As a result, gaps were left around the NSCW pumps which could allow foreign material (FM) to enter the NSCW system and adversely affect cooling water flow to essential component coolers.

Description:

On September 29, 2016, the licensee initiated work orders SNC737852 and SNC737853 for the inspection and pump well cleaning of Unit 1 NSCW pumps #3 and #5, respectively. To perform the work associated with these work orders, the NSCW pump shaft well access openings were removed to allow divers into the pump well for inspections. Upon completion of the inspections, the pump well covers were reinstalled, but were not sealed completely around their outer edges. The work instructions provided to maintenance stated for Maintenance to remove/reinstall access cover to well. The licensee also included an FME plan in the work orders for the inspection in accordance with NMP-MA-009-001-F09, FME Plan Requirements, but the sealing around the well access covers following completion of the inspections was also not addressed in this FME plan. The well inspections and well cover removal/reinstallation were all completed on September 29, 2016, and there was no documentation in any work package about sealant being applied to the well plate cover openings.

In accordance with the Preventive Maintenance (PM) program, the licensee conducts semi-annual NSCW FME inspections in each NSCW cooling tower. On July 31, 2017, the licensee conducted a FME inspection on Unit 1 NSCW cooling tower for Train A in accordance with SNC839425. In the work instructions, each individual NSCW pump well cover was visually inspected to ensure sufficient RTV sealant was applied. There were no discrepancies documented in the work package notes and no CRs were generated, as required, to restore the integrity of an FME barrier if cracks or gaps were discovered. The PM for performing FME inspections in NSCW cooling towers was approved in early 2017, so this was the first time an FME inspection was performed in the Unit 1 A train NSCW cooling tower.

On February 7, 2018, while conducting walk down of the Unit 1 NSCW A Train cooling tower, inspectors identified gaps around the NSCW pump #3 and #5 well plate access covers. Upon further inspection and interviews with licensee personnel, the inspectors determined that the gaps were identified during the most recent FME inspection conducted (SNC839425), but that no action was taken to address and correct the deficiency. The inspectors verified that the well plate covers were properly sealed on all other NSCW pumps on both Unit 1 and Unit 2.

In inspection report (IR) 05000424/425/2015002 (ML15216A418), the licensee received a GREEN NCV for the failure to identify degraded conditions on the NSCW pump well cover plates. Part of the corrective actions for this NCV was to schedule/perform semi-annual FME inspections in the NSCW cooling towers as well as seal around all of the well cover plates.

These corrective actions were taken and verified by the inspectors at the time of occurrence.

Corrective Action(s): Corrective actions included the sealing of the gaps identified on Unit 1 NSCW pumps #3 and #5, revisions to planned work orders for the removal of the NSCW pump shaft well access covers for both Units 1 and 2, and training for maintenance and engineering on the importance of proper documentation for actions taken during walk downs and subsequent corrective actions taken. The licensee entered this issue into their Corrective Action Program (CAP) as CRs 10461650 and 103459898.

Performance Assessment:

Performance Deficiency: The licensees failure to provide work instructions for sealing around NSCW pump well plate covers following well plate cover removal/reinstallation was a performance deficiency. The licensees failure to follow work instructions for documenting deficiencies in the NSCW pump FME barrier was also a performance deficiency.

Screening: The inspectors determined that the finding was more than minor because, if left uncorrected, it would have the potential to lead to a more significant safety concern.

Specifically, the openings in the pump well covers could allow FM to enter the NSCW system and adversely affect cooling water flow to essential component coolers. This was also a repetitive issue that was previously documented in IR 05000424/425/2015002 in which the licensee received a GREEN NCV.

Significance: The finding was evaluated using of Exhibit 2, Mitigating Systems Screening Questions, of IMC 0609, Appendix A, The Significance Determination Process (SDP) for Findings At-Power, issued June 19, 2012. The finding was of very low safety significance (i.e. Green) because it did not represent an actual loss of function of one or more non-Tech Spec Trains of equipment designated as high safety-significant. No NSCW train was lost as a result of this finding.

Cross-cutting Aspect: The inspectors determined the finding had a cross-cutting aspect of resources in the human performance area, because the organization failed to ensure that personnel, equipment, procedures, and other resources are available and adequate to support nuclear safety. [H.1]

Enforcement:

Violation: Technical Specification 5.4.1.a, Procedures, requires, in part, that written procedures covering the applicable procedures recommended in Appendix A to Regulatory Guide 1.33, Quality Assurance Program Requirements, February 1978, shall be established and implemented. Appendix A, Item 9 required, in part, that maintenance activities that can affect the performance of safety-related equipment should be properly preplanned and performed in accordance with written documented instructions appropriate to the circumstances.

Contrary to the above, in September 2016, the licensee did not properly preplan work orders SNC737852 (Unit 1 NSCW Pump #3) and SNC737853 (Unit 1 NSCW Pump #5) for the removal and reinstallation of NSCW pump shaft well access openings, by failing to provide instructions for sealing around the well plate covers following well plate cover removal/reinstallation. Also, contrary to the above, in July 2017, the licensee did not perform work order SNC839425 (Unit 1 NSCW A Train) for the NSCW tower clean/inspect, in accordance with the written instructions, by failing to generate CRs to create maintenance work orders to restore the integrity of an FME barrier if cracks or gaps are discovered.

Disposition: This violation is being treated as an NCV, consistent with Section 2.3.2.a of the Enforcement Policy.

Inadequate Acceptance Criteria for Testing of NSCW Pump Discharge Valves Cornerstone Significance Cross-cutting Report Aspect Section Mitigating Green NCV H.8 - Resources 71111.22 Systems 05000425/425/2018001-002 Opened/Closed

Introduction:

The inspectors identified a Green NCV of 10 CFR 50.55a(f), "Inservice testing requirements," subsection (4), American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) Operation and Maintenance of Nuclear Power Plants (OM) code Subsection ISTC-5122, Stroke Acceptance Criteria for the licensees failure to incorporate adequate acceptance criteria for exercise testing of nuclear service cooling water (NSCW) pump discharge valves into procedures.

Description:

The inspectors observed testing and reviewed surveillance procedure 14802A-1, Train A NSCW Pump/Check Valve IST and Response Time Test, version 8. Data Sheet 4 provided the open and close full-stroke times acceptance criteria for the unit 1 train A (1A)

NSCW pumps discharge motor-operated valves (MOVs) 1-HV-11600/11605/11606. The valves open stroke time reference values specified in the procedure were 59.0, 54.4, and 58.2 seconds, respectively. Consistent with ASME OM code Subsection ISTC-5122, Stroke Test Acceptance Criteria, the licensee established acceptable HIGH/LOW stroke time limits at +/-15-percent (or +/-8.2-8.9 seconds) of the specified reference value. The inspectors determined the licensee used inadequate reference values when determining the HIGH/LOW code allowable limits. Specifically, the inspectors noted that valves actually stroked between 12-16 seconds, which corresponded to a stroke range limits between +/- 1.8-2.4 seconds.

The higher reference values included a 40 - 45-second time delay relay (TDR) associated with the valves opening logic. Specifically, in order to minimize the effects of water hammer, the valves were interlocked to open 40-45-seconds after its associated pump is started. Per the ASME OM code Subsection ISTC-2000, Supplemental Definitions, the term full-stroke time is defined as the time interval from initiation of the actuating signal to the indication of the end of the operating stroke. In the case of the NSCW discharge valves, the licensee measured the open stroke time from the time the pump is started; however, the actuating signal to open the valve is not generated until the TDR times out. The inspectors determined that providing an additional 15-percent allowance associated with the TDR (which is already calibrated to +/-1 second) to the open stroke test acceptance criteria was not allowed by the Code, was non-conservative, and could prevent the licensee from detecting and monitoring degradation of the valves.

A second example involved the acceptance criteria for the stroke-close test of the same NSCW pump discharge valves. The valves have a safety function to close following a loss of offsite power (LOSP) event in order to allow automatic restart of its associated NSCW pump. The inspectors noted Data Sheet 4 of 14802A-1 included a step to measure and record the valves full-stroke close time; however, there were no reference values nor associated allowable limits (+/-15-percent) to compare measured performance. The inspectors reviewed the licensees IST Program document and noted that the stroke-closed testing of the valves was added during the last IST 10-year program update, in May 2017 (fourth interval), after the licensee determined the stroke-close test had not been scoped in the IST program during update reviews. Following the program update the licensee added steps in the surveillance procedure to measure and record the valves full-stroke close time; however, it failed to establish stroke-closed reference values and associated High/Low acceptance criteria in accordance with ASME OM code subsection ISTC-5122. These issues were applicable to IST surveillance procedures for each NSCW system train of both units.

Corrective Action(s): The licensee entered these issues in their corrective action program and planned to revise the NSCW pumps discharge valve IST surveillance procedures.

Corrective Action Reference(s): Condition reports (CRs) 10462846 and 10481385; technical evaluation (TE) 1006202 and corrective action report (CAR) 272720.

Performance Assessment:

Performance Deficiency: The failure to incorporate acceptance criteria for exercise testing of NSCW pump discharge valves into IST procedures in accordance with ASME OM code was a performance deficiency.

Screening: The PD was more than minor because if left uncorrected, it would have the potential to lead to a more significant safety concern. Specifically, if left uncorrected, the PD could result in degradation of NSCW pump discharge valves to go undetected.

Significance: The inspectors assessed the significance of the finding using Exhibit 2, Mitigating Systems Screening Questions, of Inspection Manual Chapter (IMC) 0609 0609, Appendix A, The Significance Determination Process (SDP) for Findings At- Power, issued June 19, 2012. The finding was of very low safety significance (i.e. Green) because the performance deficiency did not affect the design or qualification of the NSCW discharge valves, it did not result in an actual loss of safety system function, and it did not represent a loss of function of one or more than one train for more than its TS allowed outage time or greater than 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />. Specifically, the inspectors conducted a review of recent performance stroke times for the valves and did not identified any degradation that would impact component/system operability.

Cross-cutting Aspect: The finding was assigned a cross cutting aspect of Procedures Adherence, because individuals did not follow IST program processes for maintaining NSCW pump discharge valves IST procedures following the 10-year program update, in May 2017.

(H.8)

Enforcement:

Violation: Title 10 CFR 50.55a(f), Inservice testing requirements, subsection

(4) required, in part, that valves which are classified as ASME Class 3 must meet the inservice test requirements set forth in the ASME OM Code. The ASME Code of record for Vogtle for Operation and Maintenance of Nuclear Power Plants (OM) is the 2004 edition through 2006 addendum. Subsection ISTC-5122, Stroke Test Acceptance Criteria, required in part for valves with reference values greater than 10 seconds, that stroke test results shall be compared to initial reference values, and

(a) shall not exhibit more than +/-15-percent change in stroke time when compared to the reference value.

Contrary to the above, since initial plant operation, the licensee did not compare NSCW discharge MOVs close stroke test results to initial reference values, nor did it compare the MOVs open stroke test results to be within +/-15-percent change of the open stroke time reference value.

Disposition: This violation is being treated as an NCV, consistent with Section 2.3.2.a of the Enforcement Policy.

Inadequate Refurbishment of Emergency Diesel Generator Pneumatic Control System Logic Boards Cornerstone Significance Cross-cutting Report Aspect Section Mitigating Green NCV [H.1] - Resources 71153 Systems05000425/2018001-003 Opened/Closed

Introduction:

A Green self-revealing NCV of TS 5.4.1.a, Procedures, was identified for the licensees failure to properly preplan and perform maintenance work of the Unit 2 B train (2B)

EDG pneumatic control shutdown logic board. The inadequate shutdown logic board refurbishment resulted in a pneumatic control system air leak that generated an EDG shutdown signal during testing and de-energized the safety-related emergency power bus.

Description:

As described in LER 05000425/2017-002, on September 26, 2017, during the performance of the Unit 2 B train engineered safety features actuation system test, operators simulated

(1) a loss of power (LOSP) condition on the 4160-Volt (V) emergency power bus, 2BA03, and

(2) a safety injection (SI) signal in accordance with test procedures.

The EDG started and powered its associated 4160V bus, as expected, clearing the LOSP condition. Operators then proceeded to manually reset the SI signal from the main control room, in accordance with test procedures. Until the EDG is reset locally from the LOSP/SI signal it will continue to run in emergency mode (i.e. EDG non-emergency shutdown signals are blocked) even after the LOSP or SI signals are cleared. When operators locally reset the LOSP/SI signal, the engine control system generated a non-emergency shutdown signal to the engine and caused the output breaker to open, de-energizing the emergency bus.

Because the EDG was the only source powering the bus, it caused an actual LOSP condition, which subsequently restarted the EDG in emergency mode, closed its output breaker, and sequenced loads back onto the bus. At the time of the event, Unit 2 was in Mode 6 and in the process of being refueled. Shutdown cooling to the unit was not affected because it was being provided by the 'A' train residual heat removal system, powered from the 'A' train 4160V emergency power bus, 2AA02.

The licensee initiated an incident response team to troubleshoot and determine the cause of the event. The cause of the diesel trip and subsequent LOSP to the bus was determined to be an air leak within the engine pneumatic control system. Specifically, a leak caused by aged-related degradation of an O-ring (CR10413540) between the shutdown logic board and a logic element (Orifice No. 5) on the pneumatic control system. The air leak was sufficient to drop system pressure below that which processed an EDG non-emergency shutdown signal.

When the EDG was reset from the emergency mode of operation, which blocked the non-emergency shutdown signals, the engine controls processed the EDG shutdown signal caused by the air leak.

The 2B EDG pneumatic logic boards were replaced under maintenance work order (MWO)

SNC803750 during the diesels maintenance outage in June 2017, in accordance with the EDGs maintenance strategy. The replacement boards were refurbished under MWO SNC857461 in May 2017 after being removed from another EDG. In accordance with the EDGs maintenance strategy, refurbishment of the boards consisted of replacement of all logic board elements and O-rings every 12 months. Accordingly, MWO SNC857461 specifically requested the replacement of all logic elements. The inspectors conducted a detailed review of the completed MWO and noted discrepancies between the requested work, planning, and execution of the work. First, the planned work scope and instructions were not consistent with the requested work to replace all logic elements. The work scope and instructions called for an as-found test of each board (three boards total) and replacement of defective elements, as needed. Second, although not identified to be defective during as-found testing, 19 out of 23 logic elements were replaced on the shutdown logic board. Three of the four elements not replaced were obsolete and not available. The fourth element not replaced was Orifice No. 5 for which replacements were available. Third, Orifice No. 5 logic element was specifically identified to have a leak between the element and the board at the O-ring interface (documented in condition report (CR) 10363351) during as-found testing; however, the element was not replaced. Fourth, materials listed in the MWO did not include Orifice No. 5. And finally, O-ring replacement for logic elements not replaced was not required as part of the refurb work. Per discussions with the system engineer, procurement delays with new replacement boards resulted in the installation of refurbished boards on the 2B EDG. The inspectors determined that MWO SNC857461 to refurbish 2B EDG pneumatic logic boards was not properly planned and executed, and resulted in the pneumatic controls air leak that tripped the 2B EDG during ESFAS testing.

Corrective Action(s): The licensee entered this issue into their corrective action program under CR 10412768 and corrective action report (CAR) 271341. The licensee replaced defective Orifice No. 5 element (under MWO SNC897326), verified no additional leaks on the other refurbished boards, and satisfactorily tested the EDG. Also, preventative maintenance instructions were revised to verify that all elements and O-rings are replaced before installing refurbished pneumatic logic boards (technical evaluation (TE) 998243.)

Performance Assessment:

Performance Deficiency: The failure to properly preplan and perform maintenance of the 2B EDG pneumatic control shutdown logic board was a performance deficiency.

Screening: The inspectors determined the performance deficiency was more than minor because it was associated with the equipment performance attribute of the mitigating systems cornerstone and adversely 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 loss of power to the 'B' 4160-volt emergency power bus.

Significance: The inspectors assessed the significance of the finding using Inspection Manual Chapter (IMC) 0609, Attachment 04, "Initial Characterization of Findings," dated October 7, 2016, to evaluate the significance of the finding. Since the plant was shutdown, the inspectors were directed to IMC 0609, Appendix G, Attachment 1, "Shutdown Operations Significance Determination Process Phase 1 Initial Screening and Characterization of Findings," dated May 9, 2014. Using Appendix G, Attachment 1, Exhibit 3, "Mitigating Systems Screening Questions." The inspectors determined the finding was of very low safety significance (Green) because all exhibit questions were answered 'No' because shutdown cooling to the unit was not affected, as it was being provided by the 'A' train of the residual heat removal system, which is power from the A train emergency power bus, at the time of the event.

Cross-cutting Aspect: The inspectors determined the finding had a cross-cutting aspect of "Resources" in the Human Performance area because work instructions in MWO SNC857461 to refurbish the pneumatic control shutdown logic board for the 2B EDG were inadequate.

[H.1]

Enforcement:

Violation: Technical Specification 5.4.1.a, "Procedures," required, in part, that written procedures covering the applicable procedures recommended in Appendix A to Regulatory Guide 1.33, "Quality Assurance Program Requirements," of February 1978, shall be implemented. Appendix A, Item 9 required, in part, that maintenance activities that can affect the performance of safety-related equipment should be properly preplanned and performed in accordance with written documented instructions appropriate to the circumstances.

Contrary to the above, in May 2017, the licensee failed to properly preplan and perform maintenance activities to refurbish Unit 2 B train EDG pneumatic control system logic boards. These boards were installed on the EDG on June 2017 and developed an air leak that resulted in a shutdown of the EDG while powering the emergency bus in support of testing on September 26, 2017.

Disposition: This violation is being treated as an NCV, consistent with Section 2.3.2.a of the Enforcement Policy.

EXIT MEETINGS AND DEBRIEFS

SUMMARY

The NRC continued monitoring the licensees performance by conducting a quarterly inspection

at Vogtle Electric Generating Plant Units 1 and 2 in accordance with the Reactor Oversight

Process. The Reactor Oversight Process is the NRCs program for overseeing the safe

operation of commercial nuclear power reactors. Refer to

http://www.nrc.gov/NRR/OVERSIGHT/ASSESS/index.html for more information. NRC and self-

revealed findings, violations, and additional items are summarized in the table below.

List of Findings and Violations

Failure to Provide Work Instructions for Sealing Around NSCW System Pump Shaft Well

Access Openings

Cornerstone Significance Cross-cutting Report

Aspect Section

Mitigating Green NCV [H.1] - 71111.12

Systems05000424/2018001-001 Resources

Opened/Closed

An NRC identified Green NCV of Vogtle Electric Generating Plant Technical Specification (TS),

Section 5.4.1.a, Procedures, was identified for the licensees failure to provide work

instructions for the sealing of gaps around cover plates for the nuclear service cooling water

(NSCW) system pumps shaft well access openings and for the failure to follow work

instructions for NSCW tower clean/inspect. Specifically, the licensee failed to provide

instructions for sealing around the well plate covers following well plate cover

removal/reinstallation in work orders SNC737852 (Unit 1 NSCW pump #3) and SNC737853

(Unit 1 NSCW pump #5). Also, during the performance of a NSCW tower clean/inspect work

order, the licensee failed to generate condition reports, as required by the work instructions,

upon the discovery of cracks or gaps in the Foreign Material Exclusion (FME) barrier. As a

result, gaps were left around the NSCW pumps which could allow foreign material to enter the

NSCW system and adversely affect cooling water flow to essential component coolers.

Inadequate Acceptance Criteria for Testing of NSCW Pump Discharge Valves

Cornerstone Significance Cross-cutting Report

Aspect Section

Mitigating Green NCV [H.8] - 71111.22

Systems 05000425/425/2018001-002 Procedure

Opened/Closed Adherence

An NRC identified Green NCV of 10 CFR 50.55a(f), "Inservice testing (IST) requirements,"

subsection (4), American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) Operation and

Maintenance of Nuclear Power Plants (OM) code Subsection ISTC-5122, Stroke Acceptance

Criteria, was identified for the licensees failure to incorporate adequate acceptance criteria for

exercise testing of NSCW pump discharge valves into procedures. Specifically, the licensee

failed to incorporate acceptance criteria for stroke close exercise testing into in-service test

procedures and used inadequate reference values when determining the HIGH/LOW code

allowable limits for the stroke open exercise testing.

Inadequate Refurbishment of Emergency Diesel Generator Pneumatic Control System Logic

Boards

Cornerstone Significance Cross-cutting Report

Aspect Section

Mitigating Green NCV [H.1] - Resources 71153

Systems05000425/2018001-003

Opened/Closed

A Green self-revealing NCV of TS Section 5.4.1.a, Procedures, was identified for the

licensees failure to properly preplan and perform maintenance work on the Unit 2 B train (2B)

emergency diesel generator (EDG) pneumatic control shutdown logic board. The inadequate

shutdown logic board refurbishment resulted in a pneumatic control system air leak that

generated an EDG shutdown signal during testing and de-energized the safety-related

emergency power bus.

71152 - Problem Identification and Resolution

Annual Follow-up of Selected Issues (2 Samples)

The inspectors reviewed the licensees implementation of its corrective action program

related to the following issues:

(1) Failure to Start of the 2A Emergency Diesel Generator

The inspectors reviewed documentation associated with the licensees corrective action

program dealing with Unit 2, A EDG to evaluate the effectiveness of the licensees

corrective action program in identifying, prioritizing, evaluating, and correcting problems.

The 2A EDG "failed to start" while performing 14980A-2, 2A EDG Operability Test and

was declared inoperable. The 2A EDG successfully reached rated speed and voltage;

however, a "failed to start" signal prevented satisfying the speed permissive, necessary

to allow manual or automatic closure of the output breaker from the main control room.

The inspectors reviewed documents that included an independent evaluation that

provided analysis supporting the conclusion that the 2A EDG Speed Switch assembly

power circuit is susceptible to failure due to overvoltage conditions local to the 2A EDG

engine control panel. This condition is postulated to initiate from the 125 VDC supply

indicating lamp socket shorting, resulting in the bulb to blow (open-circuit) and the

breaker to open. The bulb filament (when intact) acts to provide a voltage suppression

path for the energy released by the power fail solenoid coil as voltage collapses when

the circuit breaker trips open. This energy release without the bulb filament present,

potentially fails the 125V to 24V DC-DC converter used to power the associated speed

switch assembly. The inspector determined that the licensee properly utilized the CAP

to identify, analyze and correct the fail to start signal on the 2A EDG. The licensee

effective use of the program resulted in identifying the root cause and proposed actions

to prevent recurrence.

(2) Unit 2 Loss of Control Power to the Pressurizer Group B Backup Heaters.

The inspectors reviewed and evaluated licensee troubleshooting work activities and

corrective action program documentation associated with a loss of control power event

to the Unit 2 pressurizer group B backup heaters that occurred on January 29, 2018.

Specifically, during data gathering work activities of the pressurizer pressure control

loop, the group B backup heaters control room hand switch lost indication power when

expected and demanded to energize. The licensee declared the heater inoperable due

to being unable to control its operation from the main control room. Licensee

troubleshooting identified that the heaters were actually energized with its power breaker

closed and narrowed the loss of control power to two possible causes; (1) a remote

shutdown panel transfer switch and/or (2) a 52a relay contact in the heaters main

breaker opening circuit. The licensee cycled (wiped) the transfer switch multiple times

as these style switches have had operating experience with high resistance of contacts

due to oxidation and/or dust buildup on the contacts. On the sixth cycle, control power

was restored and the heaters operated satisfactorily. Although power was restored

following cycling of the transfer switch, oxidation and/or dust buildup on the contacts was

not expected as this transfer switch had been in-service since September 2017 and was

routinely cycled five times as part of surveillance and preventative maintenance activities

with no issues. The licensee expanded its troubleshooting and removed the heaters

power breaker and identified higher than normal resistance across the 52a contact. The

licensee determined the most likely cause to be the 52a contact due to the high

resistance and took CAs to replace the breaker. Additional corrective actions included a

long term CA (SNC 922269) to remove, inspect, and replace the transfer switch during

the next refueling outage. The inspectors determined that the licensee properly utilized

the CAP to identify, analyze and correct the loss of power to the pressurizer Group B

backup heaters. Other documents reviewed by the inspectors included one-line and

elementary diagrams, corrective action reports (CARs), and condition reports (CRs).

Cornerstone Significance Cross-cutting Report

Aspect Section

Mitigating Green NCV [H.1] - 71111.12

Systems05000424/2018001-001 Resources

Opened/Closed

Introduction: An NRC identified Green NCV of Vogtle Nuclear Station TS, Section 5.4.1.a,

Procedures, was identified for the licensees failure to provide work instructions for the

sealing of gaps around cover plates for the nuclear service cooling water (NSCW) system

pumps shaft well access openings and for the failure to follow work instructions for NSCW

tower clean/inspect. Specifically, the licensee failed to provide instructions for sealing around

the well plate covers following well plate cover removal/reinstallation in work orders

SNC737852 (Unit 1 NSCW pump #3) and SNC737853 (Unit 1 NSCW pump #5). Also, during

the performance of a NSCW tower clean/inspect work order, the licensee failed to generate

condition reports, as required by the work instructions, upon the discovery of cracks or gaps

in the foreign material exclusion (FME) barrier. As a result, gaps were left around the NSCW

pumps which could allow foreign material (FM) to enter the NSCW system and adversely

affect cooling water flow to essential component coolers.

Description: On September 29, 2016, the licensee initiated work orders SNC737852 and

SNC737853 for the inspection and pump well cleaning of Unit 1 NSCW pumps #3 and #5,

respectively. To perform the work associated with these work orders, the NSCW pump shaft

well access openings were removed to allow divers into the pump well for inspections. Upon

completion of the inspections, the pump well covers were reinstalled, but were not sealed

completely around their outer edges. The work instructions provided to maintenance stated

for Maintenance to remove/reinstall access cover to well. The licensee also included an

FME plan in the work orders for the inspection in accordance with NMP-MA-009-001-F09,

FME Plan Requirements, but the sealing around the well access covers following completion

of the inspections was also not addressed in this FME plan. The well inspections and well

cover removal/reinstallation were all completed on September 29, 2016, and there was no

documentation in any work package about sealant being applied to the well plate cover

openings.

In accordance with the Preventive Maintenance (PM) program, the licensee conducts semi-

annual NSCW FME inspections in each NSCW cooling tower. On July 31, 2017, the licensee

conducted a FME inspection on Unit 1 NSCW cooling tower for Train A in accordance with

SNC839425. In the work instructions, each individual NSCW pump well cover was visually

inspected to ensure sufficient RTV sealant was applied. There were no discrepancies

documented in the work package notes and no CRs were generated, as required, to restore

the integrity of an FME barrier if cracks or gaps were discovered. The PM for performing

FME inspections in NSCW cooling towers was approved in early 2017, so this was the first

time an FME inspection was performed in the Unit 1 A train NSCW cooling tower.

On February 7, 2018, while conducting walk down of the Unit 1 NSCW A Train cooling tower,

inspectors identified gaps around the NSCW pump #3 and #5 well plate access covers. Upon

further inspection and interviews with licensee personnel, the inspectors determined that the

gaps were identified during the most recent FME inspection conducted (SNC839425), but that

no action was taken to address and correct the deficiency. The inspectors verified that the

well plate covers were properly sealed on all other NSCW pumps on both Unit 1 and Unit 2.

In inspection report (IR) 05000424/425/2015002 (ML15216A418), the licensee received a

GREEN NCV for the failure to identify degraded conditions on the NSCW pump well cover

plates. Part of the corrective actions for this NCV was to schedule/perform semi-annual FME

inspections in the NSCW cooling towers as well as seal around all of the well cover plates.

These corrective actions were taken and verified by the inspectors at the time of occurrence.

Corrective Action(s): Corrective actions included the sealing of the gaps identified on Unit 1

NSCW pumps #3 and #5, revisions to planned work orders for the removal of the NSCW

pump shaft well access covers for both Units 1 and 2, and training for maintenance and

engineering on the importance of proper documentation for actions taken during walk downs

and subsequent corrective actions taken. The licensee entered this issue into their Corrective

Action Program (CAP) as CRs 10461650 and 103459898.

Performance Assessment:

Performance Deficiency: The licensees failure to provide work instructions for sealing

around NSCW pump well plate covers following well plate cover removal/reinstallation was a

performance deficiency. The licensees failure to follow work instructions for documenting

deficiencies in the NSCW pump FME barrier was also a performance deficiency.

Screening: The inspectors determined that the finding was more than minor because, if left

uncorrected, it would have the potential to lead to a more significant safety concern.

Specifically, the openings in the pump well covers could allow FM to enter the NSCW system

and adversely affect cooling water flow to essential component coolers. This was also a

repetitive issue that was previously documented in IR 05000424/425/2015002 in which the

licensee received a GREEN NC

V.

Significance: The finding was evaluated using of Exhibit 2, Mitigating Systems Screening

Questions, of IMC 0609, Appendix A, The Significance Determination Process (SDP) for

Findings At-Power, issued June 19, 2012. The finding was of very low safety significance

(i.e. Green) because it did not represent an actual loss of function of one or more non-Tech

Spec Trains of equipment designated as high safety-significant. No NSCW train was lost as

a result of this finding.

Cross-cutting Aspect: The inspectors determined the finding had a cross-cutting aspect of

resources in the human performance area, because the organization failed to ensure that

personnel, equipment, procedures, and other resources are available and adequate to

support nuclear safety. [H.1]

Enforcement:

Violation: Technical Specification 5.4.1.a, Procedures, requires, in part, that written

procedures covering the applicable procedures recommended in Appendix A to Regulatory

Guide 1.33, Quality Assurance Program Requirements, February 1978, shall be established

and implemented. Appendix A, Item 9 required, in part, that maintenance activities that can

affect the performance of safety-related equipment should be properly preplanned and

performed in accordance with written documented instructions appropriate to the

circumstances.

Contrary to the above, in September 2016, the licensee did not properly preplan work orders

SNC737852 (Unit 1 NSCW Pump #3) and SNC737853 (Unit 1 NSCW Pump #5) for the

removal and reinstallation of NSCW pump shaft well access openings, by failing to provide

instructions for sealing around the well plate covers following well plate cover

removal/reinstallation. Also, contrary to the above, in July 2017, the licensee did not perform

work order SNC839425 (Unit 1 NSCW A Train) for the NSCW tower clean/inspect, in

accordance with the written instructions, by failing to generate CRs to create maintenance

work orders to restore the integrity of an FME barrier if cracks or gaps are discovered.

Disposition: This violation is being treated as an NCV, consistent with Section 2.3.2.a of the

Enforcement Policy.

Inadequate Acceptance Criteria for Testing of NSCW Pump Discharge Valves

Cornerstone Significance Cross-cutting Report

Aspect Section

Mitigating Green NCV H.8 - Resources 71111.22

Systems 05000425/425/2018001-002

Opened/Closed

Introduction: The inspectors identified a Green NCV of 10 CFR 50.55a(f), "Inservice testing

requirements," subsection (4), American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) Operation

and Maintenance of Nuclear Power Plants (OM) code Subsection ISTC-5122, Stroke

Acceptance Criteria for the licensees failure to incorporate adequate acceptance criteria for

exercise testing of nuclear service cooling water (NSCW) pump discharge valves into

procedures.

Description: The inspectors observed testing and reviewed surveillance procedure 14802A-

1, Train A NSCW Pump/Check Valve IST and Response Time Test, version 8. Data Sheet 4

provided the open and close full-stroke times acceptance criteria for the unit 1 train A (1A)

NSCW pumps discharge motor-operated valves (MOVs) 1-HV-11600/11605/11606. The

valves open stroke time reference values specified in the procedure were 59.0, 54.4, and

58.2 seconds, respectively. Consistent with ASME OM code Subsection ISTC-5122, Stroke

Test Acceptance Criteria, the licensee established acceptable HIGH/LOW stroke time limits

at +/-15-percent (or +/-8.2-8.9 seconds) of the specified reference value. The inspectors

determined the licensee used inadequate reference values when determining the HIGH/LOW

code allowable limits. Specifically, the inspectors noted that valves actually stroked between

2-16 seconds, which corresponded to a stroke range limits between +/- 1.8-2.4 seconds.

The higher reference values included a 40 - 45-second time delay relay (TDR) associated

with the valves opening logic. Specifically, in order to minimize the effects of water hammer,

the valves were interlocked to open 40-45-seconds after its associated pump is started. Per

the ASME OM code Subsection ISTC-2000, Supplemental Definitions, the term full-stroke

time is defined as the time interval from initiation of the actuating signal to the indication of

the end of the operating stroke. In the case of the NSCW discharge valves, the licensee

measured the open stroke time from the time the pump is started; however, the actuating

signal to open the valve is not generated until the TDR times out. The inspectors determined

that providing an additional 15-percent allowance associated with the TDR (which is already

calibrated to +/-1 second) to the open stroke test acceptance criteria was not allowed by the

Code, was non-conservative, and could prevent the licensee from detecting and monitoring

degradation of the valves.

A second example involved the acceptance criteria for the stroke-close test of the same

NSCW pump discharge valves. The valves have a safety function to close following a loss

of offsite power (LOSP) event in order to allow automatic restart of its associated NSCW

pump. The inspectors noted Data Sheet 4 of 14802A-1 included a step to measure and

record the valves full-stroke close time; however, there were no reference values nor

associated allowable limits (+/-15-percent) to compare measured performance. The

inspectors reviewed the licensees IST Program document and noted that the stroke-closed

testing of the valves was added during the last IST 10-year program update, in May 2017

(fourth interval), after the licensee determined the stroke-close test had not been scoped in

the IST program during update reviews. Following the program update the licensee added

steps in the surveillance procedure to measure and record the valves full-stroke close time;

however, it failed to establish stroke-closed reference values and associated High/Low

acceptance criteria in accordance with ASME OM code subsection ISTC-5122. These issues

were applicable to IST surveillance procedures for each NSCW system train of both units.

Corrective Action(s): The licensee entered these issues in their corrective action program

and planned to revise the NSCW pumps discharge valve IST surveillance procedures.

Corrective Action Reference(s): Condition reports (CRs) 10462846 and 10481385; technical

evaluation (TE) 1006202 and corrective action report (CAR) 272720.

Performance Assessment:

Performance Deficiency: The failure to incorporate acceptance criteria for exercise testing of

NSCW pump discharge valves into IST procedures in accordance with ASME OM code was

a performance deficiency.

Screening: The PD was more than minor because if left uncorrected, it would have the

potential to lead to a more significant safety concern. Specifically, if left uncorrected, the PD

could result in degradation of NSCW pump discharge valves to go undetected.

Significance: The inspectors assessed the significance of the finding using Exhibit 2,

Mitigating Systems Screening Questions, of Inspection Manual Chapter (IMC) 0609 0609,

Appendix A, The Significance Determination Process (SDP) for Findings At- Power, issued

June 19, 2012. The finding was of very low safety significance (i.e. Green) because the

performance deficiency did not affect the design or qualification of the NSCW discharge

valves, it did not result in an actual loss of safety system function, and it did not represent a

loss of function of one or more than one train for more than its TS allowed outage time or

greater than 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />. Specifically, the inspectors conducted a review of recent performance

stroke times for the valves and did not identified any degradation that would impact

component/system operability.

Cross-cutting Aspect: The finding was assigned a cross cutting aspect of Procedures

Adherence, because individuals did not follow IST program processes for maintaining NSCW

pump discharge valves IST procedures following the 10-year program update, in May 2017.

(H.8)

Enforcement:

Violation: Title 10 CFR 50.55a(f), Inservice testing requirements, subsection (4) required, in

part, that valves which are classified as ASME Class 3 must meet the inservice test

requirements set forth in the ASME OM Code. The ASME Code of record for Vogtle for

Operation and Maintenance of Nuclear Power Plants (OM) is the 2004 edition through 2006

addendum. Subsection ISTC-5122, Stroke Test Acceptance Criteria, required in part for

valves with reference values greater than 10 seconds, that stroke test results shall be

compared to initial reference values, and (a) shall not exhibit more than +/-15-percent change

in stroke time when compared to the reference value.

Contrary to the above, since initial plant operation, the licensee did not compare NSCW

discharge MOVs close stroke test results to initial reference values, nor did it compare the

MOVs open stroke test results to be within +/-15-percent change of the open stroke time

reference value.

Disposition: This violation is being treated as an NCV, consistent with Section 2.3.2.a of the

Enforcement Policy.

Inadequate Refurbishment of Emergency Diesel Generator Pneumatic Control System Logic

Boards

Cornerstone Significance Cross-cutting Report

Aspect Section

Mitigating Green NCV [H.1] - Resources 71153

Systems05000425/2018001-003

Opened/Closed

Introduction: A Green self-revealing NCV of TS 5.4.1.a, Procedures, was identified for the

licensees failure to properly preplan and perform maintenance work of the Unit 2 B train (2B)

EDG pneumatic control shutdown logic board. The inadequate shutdown logic board

refurbishment resulted in a pneumatic control system air leak that generated an EDG

shutdown signal during testing and de-energized the safety-related emergency power bus.

Description: As described in LER 05000425/2017-002, on September 26, 2017, during the

performance of the Unit 2 B train engineered safety features actuation system test,

operators simulated (1) a loss of power (LOSP) condition on the 4160-Volt (V) emergency

power bus, 2BA03, and (2) a safety injection (SI) signal in accordance with test procedures.

The EDG started and powered its associated 4160V bus, as expected, clearing the LOSP

condition. Operators then proceeded to manually reset the SI signal from the main control

room, in accordance with test procedures. Until the EDG is reset locally from the LOSP/SI

signal it will continue to run in emergency mode (i.e. EDG non-emergency shutdown signals

are blocked) even after the LOSP or SI signals are cleared. When operators locally reset the

LOSP/SI signal, the engine control system generated a non-emergency shutdown signal to

the engine and caused the output breaker to open, de-energizing the emergency bus.

Because the EDG was the only source powering the bus, it caused an actual LOSP condition,

which subsequently restarted the EDG in emergency mode, closed its output breaker, and

sequenced loads back onto the bus. At the time of the event, Unit 2 was in Mode 6 and in the

process of being refueled. Shutdown cooling to the unit was not affected because it was

being provided by the 'A' train residual heat removal system, powered from the 'A' train

4160V emergency power bus, 2AA02.

The licensee initiated an incident response team to troubleshoot and determine the cause of

the event. The cause of the diesel trip and subsequent LOSP to the bus was determined to

be an air leak within the engine pneumatic control system. Specifically, a leak caused by

aged-related degradation of an O-ring (CR10413540) between the shutdown logic board and

a logic element (Orifice No. 5) on the pneumatic control system. The air leak was sufficient to

drop system pressure below that which processed an EDG non-emergency shutdown signal.

When the EDG was reset from the emergency mode of operation, which blocked the non-

emergency shutdown signals, the engine controls processed the EDG shutdown signal

caused by the air leak.

The 2B EDG pneumatic logic boards were replaced under maintenance work order (MWO)

SNC803750 during the diesels maintenance outage in June 2017, in accordance with the

EDGs maintenance strategy. The replacement boards were refurbished under MWO

SNC857461 in May 2017 after being removed from another EDG. In accordance with the

EDGs maintenance strategy, refurbishment of the boards consisted of replacement of all

logic board elements and O-rings every 12 months. Accordingly, MWO SNC857461

specifically requested the replacement of all logic elements. The inspectors conducted a

detailed review of the completed MWO and noted discrepancies between the requested work,

planning, and execution of the work. First, the planned work scope and instructions were not

consistent with the requested work to replace all logic elements. The work scope and

instructions called for an as-found test of each board (three boards total) and replacement of

defective elements, as needed. Second, although not identified to be defective during as-

found testing, 19 out of 23 logic elements were replaced on the shutdown logic board. Three

of the four elements not replaced were obsolete and not available. The fourth element not

replaced was Orifice No. 5 for which replacements were available. Third, Orifice No. 5 logic

element was specifically identified to have a leak between the element and the board at the

O-ring interface (documented in condition report (CR) 10363351) during as-found testing;

however, the element was not replaced. Fourth, materials listed in the MWO did not include

Orifice No. 5. And finally, O-ring replacement for logic elements not replaced was not

required as part of the refurb work. Per discussions with the system engineer, procurement

delays with new replacement boards resulted in the installation of refurbished boards on the

2B EDG. The inspectors determined that MWO SNC857461 to refurbish 2B EDG pneumatic

logic boards was not properly planned and executed, and resulted in the pneumatic controls

air leak that tripped the 2B EDG during ESFAS testing.

Corrective Action(s): The licensee entered this issue into their corrective action program

under CR 10412768 and corrective action report (CAR) 271341. The licensee replaced

defective Orifice No. 5 element (under MWO SNC897326), verified no additional leaks on the

other refurbished boards, and satisfactorily tested the ED

G. Also, preventative maintenance

instructions were revised to verify that all elements and O-rings are replaced before installing

refurbished pneumatic logic boards (technical evaluation (TE) 998243.)

Performance Assessment:

Performance Deficiency: The failure to properly preplan and perform maintenance of the 2B

EDG pneumatic control shutdown logic board was a performance deficiency.

Screening: The inspectors determined the performance deficiency was more than minor

because it was associated with the equipment performance attribute of the mitigating systems

cornerstone and adversely 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 loss of power to the 'B'

4160-volt emergency power bus.

Significance: The inspectors assessed the significance of the finding using Inspection

Manual Chapter (IMC) 0609, Attachment 04, "Initial Characterization of Findings," dated

October 7, 2016, to evaluate the significance of the finding. Since the plant was shutdown,

the inspectors were directed to IMC 0609, Appendix G, Attachment 1, "Shutdown Operations

Significance Determination Process Phase 1 Initial Screening and Characterization of

Findings," dated May 9, 2014. Using Appendix G, Attachment 1, Exhibit 3, "Mitigating

Systems Screening Questions." The inspectors determined the finding was of very low safety

significance (Green) because all exhibit questions were answered 'No' because shutdown

cooling to the unit was not affected, as it was being provided by the 'A' train of the residual

heat removal system, which is power from the A train emergency power bus, at the time of

the event.

Cross-cutting Aspect: The inspectors determined the finding had a cross-cutting aspect of

"Resources" in the Human Performance area because work instructions in MWO SNC857461

to refurbish the pneumatic control shutdown logic board for the 2B EDG were inadequate.

[H.1]

Enforcement:

Violation: Technical Specification 5.4.1.a, "Procedures," required, in part, that written

procedures covering the applicable procedures recommended in Appendix A to Regulatory

Guide 1.33, "Quality Assurance Program Requirements," of February 1978, shall be

implemented. Appendix A, Item 9 required, in part, that maintenance activities that can affect

the performance of safety-related equipment should be properly preplanned and performed in

accordance with written documented instructions appropriate to the circumstances.

Contrary to the above, in May 2017, the licensee failed to properly preplan and perform

maintenance activities to refurbish Unit 2 B train EDG pneumatic control system logic

boards. These boards were installed on the EDG on June 2017 and developed an air leak

that resulted in a shutdown of the EDG while powering the emergency bus in support of

testing on September 26, 2017.

Disposition: This violation is being treated as an NCV, consistent with Section 2.3.2.a of the

Enforcement Policy.
