SUBJECT: WATERFORD STEAM ELECTRIC STATION, UNIT 3 - NRC INTEGRATED
INSPECTION REPORT 05000382/2006005
Dear Mr. Walsh:
On December 31, 2006, the NRC completed an inspection at your Waterford Steam Electric
Station, Unit 3. The enclosed report documents the inspection findings, which were discussed
on January 16, 2007, with you and other members of your staff.
This inspection examined activities conducted under your license as they relate to safety and
compliance with the Commissions rules and regulations and with the conditions of your license.
The inspectors reviewed selected procedures and records, observed activities, and interviewed
personnel.
This report documents two self-revealing and one NRC identified findings of very low safety
significance (Green). These findings were determined to involve violations of NRC
requirements. Additionally, a licensee-identified violation, which was determined to be of very
low safety significance is listed in this report. However, because of the very low safety
significance and because they were entered into your corrective action program, the NRC is
treating these violations as noncited violations (NCVs), consistent with Section VI.A.1 of the
NRC Enforcement Policy. If you contest any NCV in this report, you should provide a response
within 30 days of the date of this inspection report, with the basis for your denial, to the
U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, ATTN: Document Control Desk, Washington, DC
20555-0001, with copies to the Regional Administrator, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission,
Region IV, 611 Ryan Plaza Drive, Suite 400, Arlington, Texas 76011; the Director, Office of

SUMMARY OF FINDINGS
IR05000382/2006-005; 10/08/2006-12/31/2006; Waterford Steam Electric Station, Unit 3;
Postmaintenance Testing; Refueling and Other Outage Activities; Emergency Plan Biennial
Program Inspection
The report covered a 3-month period of inspection by resident inspectors, a project engineer, a
senior operations engineer, a senior health physics inspector, a reactor inspector, and an
emergency preparedness inspector. The inspectors identified two Green findings, which were
noncited violations, and one apparent violation with potential safety significance greater than
Green. The significance of most findings is indicated by their color (Green, White, Yellow, or
Red) using Inspection Manual Chapter 0609, Significance Determination Process. Findings
for which the Significance Determination Process does not apply may be Green or be assigned
a severity level after NRC management review. The NRCs program for overseeing the safe
operation of commercial nuclear power reactors is described in NUREG-1649, Reactor
Oversight Process, Revision 3, dated July 2000.
A. NRC-Identified and Self-Revealing Findings
Cornerstone: Initiating Events
- Green. A self-revealing violation of very low safety significance of Technical
Specification 6.8.1.a was identified for an inadequate procedure for installing a
bolted joint that provided structural support for the pressurizer. Specifically, the
installation procedure required applying 8750 ft-lbs torque to make up a bolted
joint. Following corrective actions, the licensee discovered that the break away
torque on several bolts exceeded 13,400 ft-lbs. The improper bolt tensioning
resulted in failure of 1 of 16 bolts and the partial cracking of 3 other bolts that
potentially could affect the pressurizers function in a safe shutdown earthquake
event. The licensee has since replaced all pressurizer skirt bolting and installed
the bolting to an approved torque specification.
This finding is more than minor because if left uncorrected it could have become
a more safety significant concern. The finding was associated with the
equipment performance attribute of the Initiating Events cornerstone, and it
affected the cornerstone objective to limit the likelihood of those events that
upset plant stability and challenge critical safety functions during power
operations. This finding was determined to have very low safety significance
because a seismic event would not have resulted in a loss-of-coolant accident
that exceeded the Technical Specification limit for reactor coolant system
leakage. Therefore, this issue screened out in Phase 1 of the Manual
Chapter 0609 Significance Determination Process, because there was no
actual loss of safety function (Section 1R20).
Enclosure
Cornerstone: Mitigating Systems
- Green. A self-revealing violation of very low safety significance of 10 CFR
Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion XVI, Corrective Action, was identified for the
failure to implement effective corrective actions to prevent recurrence of a
significant condition adverse to quality. Specifically, on multiple occasions
Valve SI-405B failed to stroke open while attempting to place shutdown cooling
Train B in service. This violation of Appendix B, Criterion XVI, is being treated as
a noncited violation and was entered into the licensees corrective action
program.
This finding is greater than minor because it affects the Mitigating Systems
cornerstone attribute of equipment operability, availability, and reliability of
systems that respond to initiating events. This finding was evaluated using the
significance determination process and was determined to be a finding of very
low safety significance because, in each condition identified, it did not represent
an actual loss of a safety function. The inspectors also determined that the
cause of the condition had crosscutting aspects associated with the corrective
action program component in the problem identification and resolution area.
This assessment was based on the fact that the licensee failed to thoroughly
evaluate the problem such that the resolutions addressed the causes and
therefore, corrective actions were inadequate to prevent repetition
(Section 1R19).
Cornerstone: Emergency Preparedness
- Green. The inspector identified a noncited violation of 10 CFR 50.54(q) for
failure to conduct during 2005 an offsite drill involving a simulated contaminated
individual with provision for participation by local medical support services as
required by the licensees emergency plan. The licensees failure to conduct the
drill is a performance deficiency because the licensee identified the drills
postponement in October 2005, but did not appropriately reschedule the drill. In
addition, the licensee did not request NRC approval to deviate from this
emergency plan requirement.
This finding is greater than minor because a degraded proficiency in providing
appropriate medical treatment for a contaminated individual has a potential
impact on the safety of licensee employees and the public. The finding is of very
low safety significance because the licensee failed to conduct only one required
drill during the inspection period January 2005 through December 2006, and the
drill was not appropriately rescheduled with NRC approval. This finding is a
noncited violation of 10 CFR 50.54(q) and 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix E, IV, F.1.
The licensee has entered this issue into their corrective action system as
Condition Report 2006-4429 (Section 1EP5).
-2- Enclosure
B. Licensee-Identified Violations
Violations of very low safety significance, which were identified by the licensee have
been reviewed by the inspectors. Corrective actions taken or planned by the licensee
have been entered into the licensees corrective action program. These violations and
corrective actions are listed in Section 4OA7 of this report.

REPORT DETAILS
Summary of Plant Status: The plant was operated at approximately 100 percent power from
October 8 to November 22, 2006, when reactor power was reduced to 85 percent power to
comply with a Technical Specification requirement to reduce power to compensate for a main
steam safety valve lift point setting found outside of its allowed tolerance. Reactor power was
increased to 100 percent power on November 23, 2006. On November 25, 2006, operators
commenced a plant shutdown for Refueling Outage 14. Operators restarted the reactor plant
on December 26, 2006 and reached 100 percent power on December 30, 2006, and remained
at 100 percent power through the end of the report period.

b. Findings
Introduction. A self-revealing violation of very low safety significance of 10 CFR Part 50,
Appendix B, Criterion XVI, Corrective Action, was identified for the failure to implement
effective corrective actions to prevent recurrence of a significant condition adverse to
quality. Specifically, on multiple occasions Valve SI-405B failed to stroke open while
attempting to place shutdown cooling Train B in service. The root cause analysis
determined that the design of SI-405A(B) fluid reservoir was intolerant to operation with
low pressure/level. This condition caused inadequate hydraulic pump discharge
pressure that resulted in the failure of Valve SI-405B to stroke open. This violation of
Appendix B, Criterion XVI, is being treated as a noncited violation and was entered into
the licensees corrective action program.
Description. On November 26, 2006, while in Mode 4, station operators performed
Operating Procedure OP-903-033, Cold Shutdown IST Valve Test to stroke open
Valve SI-405B in an effort to place shutdown cooling Train B in service. Valve SI-405B
is a hydraulic pneumatic operated gate valve in the shutdown cooling return line from
the reactor coolant system to the low-pressure safety injection Pump B suction.
Valve SI-405B has a safety function to open to allow flow through shutdown cooling
Train B. During the test, Valve SI-405B did not stroke fully open within its design time of
15 minutes +/- 225 seconds, and automatically closed per its design. On its second
-10- Enclosure
attempt, Valve SI-405B fully opened, but not within the maximum inservice testing limit
of 370 seconds. Valve SI-405B was declared inoperable and Technical Specification 3.6.3, Containment Isolation Valves, was entered. The licensee closed
valve SI-407B to comply with Technical Specification 3.6.3. This caused shutdown
cooling Train B to become unavailable. Later in Mode 5, Technical Specification 3.6.3
no longer applied and the licensee was allowed to open Valve SI-407B and shutdown
cooling Train B was restored to service. The licensee wrote Condition Report
CR-WF3-2006-3610 to document the open stroke failure of Valve SI-405B. The root
cause analysis determined that the design of SI-405A(B) fluid reservoir is intolerant to
operation with low pressure/level. This condition caused inadequate hydraulic pump
discharge pressure that resulted in the failure of Valve SI-405B to stroke open.
The inspectors noted a similar event on April 17, 2005, that Valve SI-405B failed to fully
open while operations was aligning shutdown cooling system Train B for service in
Mode 4. Operators were performing Operating Procedure OP-903-033 testing to stroke
open Valve SI-405B. During testing, Valve SI-405B failed to reach the full open position
within the maximum allowable time. A root cause evaluation concluded that the valve
was intolerant to minor degradation of various subcomponents in the system, which
caused a diversion of sufficient hydraulic fluid flow to stroke open the valve. The
licensee stated that there was very limited data to support historical failure analysis to
determine the true cause(s) of the failures to operate. Condition
Report CR-WF3-2005-1362 implemented corrective actions to preclude recurrence,
including replacing the hydraulic actuators with a motor-operated actuator in May 2008.
Condition Report CR-WF3-2006-3610 noted that Valve SI-405B had also failed to stroke
open satisfactorily due to various hydraulic system malfunction in October 2003,
April 2002, and October 2000.
Analysis. The deficiency associated with this finding was the failure to establish
corrective measures to prevent recurrence of a significant condition adverse to quality.
Specifically, corrective actions established to address the function of Valve SI-405B to
cycle open were not effectively implemented and failed to prevent recurrence resulting in
Valve SI-405B being declared inoperable. The inspectors determined that the issue was
more than minor in significance since it affected the Mitigating Systems cornerstone
attribute of equipment operability, availability, and reliability of systems that respond to
initiating events. The inspectors evaluated the finding using Inspection
Manual Chapter 0609, Significance Determination Process (SDP), Appendix A, SDP
Phase 1 Screening Worksheet for Initiating Events, Mitigating Systems, and Barrier
cornerstones to assess the safety significance. The finding was determined to be of
very low risk significance because, in each condition identified, it did not represent an
actual loss of a safety function. This finding had crosscutting aspects associated with
the corrective action program component in the problem identification and resolution
area. This assessment was based on the fact that the licensee failed to thoroughly
evaluate the problem such that the resolutions addressed the causes and, therefore,
corrective actions were inadequate to prevent repetition.
Enforcement. 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion XVI, Corrective Action, requires
in part, that measures be established to assure that conditions adverse to quality are
promptly identified and corrected. In the case of significant conditions adverse to
-11- Enclosure
quality, the measures shall assure that the cause of the condition is determined and
corrective action taken to preclude repetition. The failure to establish corrective
measures to prevent recurrence of Valve SI-405B failure to stroke open during actual
and test demands conditions impacted the ability of a risk significant system to perform
as designed and is a violation of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion XVI. Corrective
actions for Valve SI-405B per Condition Report CR-WF3-2005-1362 failed to preclude
an additional failure as documented in Condition Report CR-WF3-2006-3610. Because
this violation was of very low safety significance and was entered in the corrective action
program as Condition Report CR-WF3-2006-3610, this violation is being treated as a
noncited violation, consistent with Section VI.A of the NRC Enforcement Policy
(NCV 05000382/2006005-01, Recurring Failure of Valve SI-405B to Open).
1R20 Refueling and Other Outage Activities (71111.20)
The inspectors reviewed the following risk significant refueling items or outage activities

b. Findings
Introduction. A self-revealing violation of very low safety significance of Technical
Specification 6.8.1.a was identified for an inadequate procedure for installing a bolted
joint that provided structural support for the pressurizer. Specifically, the installation
procedure required applying 8750 ft-lbs torque to make up a bolted joint. Following
corrective actions, the licensee discovered that the break away torque on several bolts
exceeded 13,400 ft-lbs. The improper bolt tensioning resulted in failure of 1 of 16 bolts
and the partial cracking of 3 other bolts that potentially could affect the pressurizers
function in a safe shutdown earthquake event. The licensee has since replaced all
pressurizer skirt bolting and installed the bolting to an approved torque specification.
Description. On December 11, 2006, while performing a walkdown of the pressurizer
cubicle, a technician noted that a 2-inch diameter bolt had severed into two pieces. The
bolt was part of a bolted flange that joined the pressurizer skirt to the pressurizer
support structure. The pressurizer skirt is a cylindrical steel shell welded to the bottom
head of the pressurizer and provides structural support to the pressurizer. The
pressurizer is a Category 1 seismic component, which is designed to remain functional
-12- Enclosure
in the event of a safe shutdown earthquake. A steel bolted flange is attached to the
bottom of the pressurizer skirt. The bolted flange on the pressurizer skirt mates with the
top flange of a support structure. The support structure is a weldment anchored by bolts
embedded in the concrete floor below the pressurizer. The failed bolt clamped the
pressurizer skirt flange to the top flange of the support structure. The licensee
ultrasonically test inspected the remaining 15 pressurizer skirt bolts. They discovered
flaws in 3 of the remaining 15 bolts. Licensee replaced all 16 bolts, nuts, and washers.
A licensee review of plant records indicated that an April 1979, Field Change
Procedure FSC-AS-1232, Pressurizer Support Structure, S.I. Tank Support Structures,
R.C. Stops and Supports Structural Steel, installed the bolts to a torque value of
8750 ft-lbs. The procedure did not specify if the bolts should be installed lubricated or
unlubricated, however all the originally installed bolts were lubricated. During
installation, lubrication reduces the friction between thread mating surfaces resulting in a
much higher bolt preload for the same torque values than for an unlubricated bolt.
When replacing the existing bolts, the licensee noted that some bolt break away torque
values exceeded 13,400 ft-lbs. Normally, following a bolted joint installation, some loss
of preload is expected in the range of 5 to 15 percent. Additionally, vibration or
time-varying mechanical or thermal loads on the joint due to system operations can
reduce bolt preload values further. A preliminary root cause evaluation indicates that
the bolts were overloaded during initial preloading at installation. This overloaded
condition reduced the fatigue resistance of the bolting. Thermally induced prying on the
bolts during pressurizer heatups and cooldowns was identified as a potentially
significant low-cycle fatigue load. This loading occurs as a result of temperature
differences between the pressurizer skirt and the support structure. This was an
expected occurrence, but excessive bolt preload increased the magnitude of the prying
and reduce the capacity of the bolts to accept it.
Analysis. The performance deficiency associated with this finding was the failure to
establish appropriate instructions for installing the pressurizer support skirt bolts. The
work instruction did not provide adequate direction to torque the pressurizer skirt bolts
without lubrication. This contributed to the subsequent failure and cracking of several
pressurizer skirt bolts. This finding is more than minor because if left uncorrected it
could have become a more safety significant concern. The finding was associated with
the equipment performance attribute of the Initiating Events cornerstone, and it affected
the cornerstone objective to limit the likelihood of those events that upset plant stability
and challenge critical safety functions during power operations. This finding is of very
low safe significance (Green), because a seismic event was determined to not result in
a loss-of-coolant accident that exceeds the Technical Specification limit for reactor
coolant system leakage. Therefore, this issue screened out in Phase 1 of the Manual
Chapter 0609 Significance Determination Process, because there was no actual loss
of safety funtions.
Enforcement. Technical Specification Section 6.8.1.a requires that written procedures
shall be established, implemented, and maintained covering applicable procedures
recommended in Appendix A of Regulatory Guide 1.33, Revision 2, February 1978.
Regulatory Guide 1.33, Appendix A, recommends that maintenance that can affect the
performance of safety-related equipment be performed in accordance with written
procedures, documented instructions, or drawings appropriate to the circumstances.
-13- Enclosure
Contrary to these requirements, the licensee failed to ensure that Field Change
Request FCR-AS-1232 was adequate for the task. The pressurizer skirt bolted work
instruction was inadequate because bolt lubrication was not addressed and resulted in
the failure of 4 of the 16 pressurizer skirt bolts. This issue was entered into the
licensees corrective action program as Condition Report CR-WF3-2006-4274.

b. Findings
Introduction: A Green noncited violation was identified for failure to conduct a required
offsite medical drill during calendar year 2005, as required by 10 CFR 50.54(q).
-17- Enclosure
Description: The NRC identified a performance deficiency related to conduct of the
licensees drill and exercise program, in that an annual offsite medical drill involving a
simulated contaminated individual was not performed during calendar year 2005 as
required by the Waterford Steam Electric Station Emergency Plan. The licensee has
two offsite medical support facilities, the Ochsner Clinic and West Jefferson Medical
Center, and typically alternates performing the annual medical drill, so that each facility
has the opportunity to perform the simulated medical treatment of a contaminated
individual. Ochsner Clinic had last performed a drill with simulated medical treatment of
a contaminated individual in 2003, and another drill was scheduled for
October 17, 2006. That drill did not occur.
As a result of the impact of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita on offsite infrastructure,
Ochsner Clinic informally communicated to the licensee that conducting the drill as
scheduled would be a hardship due to reduced staffing at the facilities. On
October 3, 2005, the State of Louisiana Department of Environment Quality wrote to the
U.S. Department of Homeland Security, Federal Emergency Management Agency,
Region VI, requesting postponement of the 2005 Biennial Exercise and several offsite
emergency preparedness drills scheduled for the week beginning October 17, 2005, one
of which being the licensees offsite medical drill. The licensee submitted a request
(ML0529903030) to the NRC on October 24, 2005, requesting a rescheduling
exemption for the 2005 Biennial Exercise. The inspector determined the licensees
request for a scheduling exemption was limited to the 2005 Biennial exercise and did not
include a request for relief from the emergency plan requirement to conduct the offsite
medical drill.
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security, Federal Emergency Management Agency,
Region VI, responded on October 14, 2005, to the State of Louisiana letter of
October 3, 2005, approving the postponement of the 2005 Biennial Exercise and the
offsite emergency preparedness drills scheduled for the week beginning
October 17, 2005. The Federal Emergency Management Agency, Region VI, letter
stated in part, . . . we concur that . . .the out of sequence drills scheduled for the week
of October 17th should be postponed. . . ., and . . . we will be contacting your
organization in the near future to reschedule the drills. . . . The inspector determined
that the offsite medical drill was not subsequently rescheduled. The NRC responded
(ML053270770) on November 17, 2005, to the licensees letter of October 24, 2005,
approving rescheduling the 2005 Biennial Exercise to 2006; this exercise was
subsequently conducted June 28, 2006.
The inspector determined the licensee conducted an offsite medical drill with West
Jefferson Medical Center on October 25, 2006 (Drill 2006-09), which the licensee
intended as meeting the 2006 annual drill requirement, not the rescheduled 2005 drill
requirement. West Jefferson Medical Center had also drilled the simulated medical
treatment of a contaminated individual in 2004. Ochsner Clinic is scheduled to perform
a drill with simulated medical treatment of a contaminated individual in October 2007,
approximately 4 years after their most recent medical drill in 2003.
Analysis: The inspector determined that the failure to conduct a required offsite medical
drill is a performance deficiency because the licensee failed to meet a requirement of
the Waterford Steam Electric Station Emergency Plan, and the cause was within the
-18- Enclosure
licenseess ability to foresee, correct, and prevent. The finding had a credible impact on
the Emergency Preparedness cornerstone objective because it involved the ability to
maintain the proficiency of offsite personnel whose assistance may be needed in the
event of a radiation emergency, and affected the attributes of emergency response
organization readiness and performance, and offsite emergency preparedness. This
finding is more than minor because a degraded proficiency in providing appropriate
medical treatment for a contaminated individual has a potential impact on the safety of
licensee employees and the public. This finding was evaluated using the Emergency
Preparedness Significance Determination Process and was determined to be of very low
safety significance because the licensee failed to conduct only one required drill during
the inspection period January 2005 through December 2006, and the drill was not
appropriately rescheduled with NRC approval.
Enforcement: Part 50.54(q) of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations states, in
part, A licensee authorized to possess and operate a nuclear power reactor shall follow
and maintain in effect emergency plans which meet the standards in §50.47(b) and the
requirements in Appendix E of this part. 10 CFR 50.47(b)(14) states, in part, ...periodic
drills will be conducted to develop and maintain key skills... 10 CFR Part 50,
Appendix E, IV, F.1 states, in part, The program to provide for: (a) The training of
employees and exercising, by periodic drills, of radiation emergency plans to ensure that
employees of the licensee are familiar with their specific emergency response duties,
and (b) The participation in the training and drills by other persons whose assistance
may be needed in the event of a radiation emergency shall be described. . . vii. Medical
Support Personnel. Section 8.1.2.4(4) of the Waterford Steam Electric Station
Emergency Plan, Revision 33, states, in part, A medical emergency drill, involving a
simulated contaminated individual, which includes provisions for participation by the
local support services (i.e. ambulance and offsite medical treatment facility) shall be
conducted annually. Between January 1 and December 31, 2005, the licensee did not
conduct a drill involving a simulated contaminated individual with provision for
participation by local support services. Because this failure is of very low safety
significance and has been entered into the licensees corrective action system
(Condition Report 2006-4429), this violation is being treated as an noncited violation
consistent with Section VI.A of the NRC Enforcement Policy:
NCV 05000382/2006-005-03, Failure to Conduct a Required Offsite Medical Drill in
2005.

.2 (Closed) Temporary Instruction 2515/169: Mitigating Systems Performance Index
Verification
a. Inspection Scope
During this inspection period, the inspectors completed a review of the licensees
implementation of the mitigating systems performance index in accordance with the
guidance provided in Temporary Instruction 2515/169. The review examined the
licensees mitigating systems performance index basis documents (W3-SA-06-00001,
Revision 0) and verified the established system boundaries and monitored components
were consistent with guidance provided in NEI 99-02, Reactor Oversight Process
Performance Indicators, Revision 4. The inspectors verified that the licensee did not
include credit for unavailability hours for short term unavailability or operator recovery
actions to restore the risk-significant function as is allowed by NEI 99-02.
Additionally, the inspectors reviewed the baseline mitigating systems performance index
unavailability time using plant specific values for the period of 2002 to 2004. The
verification included all planned and unplanned unavailability. The plant specific data for
-22- Enclosure
2005 to 2006 was also reviewed to ensure the licensee properly accounted for the actual
unavailability hours of mitigating systems performance index systems. For the same
period, the mitigating systems performance index component unreliability data was
examined to ensure the licensee identified all failures of monitored components. The
accuracy and completeness of the reported unavailability and unreliability data was
verified by reviewing operating logs, condition reports, and work order documents. The
unavailability and unreliability data was compared with performance indicator data
submitted to the NRC to ensure that any discrepancies would not result in a change to
the index color.

actions associated with a sample of the issues identified in the licensees trend report
were reviewed for adequacy.
Documents reviewed by the inspectors are listed in the attachment. The inspectors
completed one sample.
b. Findings
No findings of significance were identified.
-25- Enclosure
.4 Annual Sample Review
a. Inspection Scope
The emergency preparedness inspector selected 15 condition reports for detailed review.
The reports were reviewed to ensure that the full extent of the issues were identified, an
appropriate evaluation was performed, and appropriate corrective actions were specified
and prioritized. The inspector evaluated the condition reports using licensee
Procedures EN-LI-102, Corrective Action Process, Revision 2, and EN-LI-119,
Apparent Cause Evaluation Process, Revision 3.
The health physics inspector evaluated the effectiveness of the licensees problem
identification and resolution process with respect to the following inspection areas:
- Access Control to Radiologically Significant Areas (Section 2OS1)
- ALARA Planning and Controls (Section 2OS2)
b. Findings and Observations
No findings of significance were identified.
4OA3 Event Follow-up (71153)
.1 (Closed) LER 05000382/2005-005-00: Manual Reactor Trip Upon Loss of All Circulating
Water Pumps and Lowering Condenser Vacuum
On November 11, 2005, the licensee manually tripped the reactor due to lowering main
condenser vacuum, caused by a loss of all circulating water pumps. Lowering main
condenser vacuum resulted in loss of main feedwater to the steam generators causing
steam generator levels to lower resulting in an automatic actuation of the emergency
feedwater system to restore steam generator level. Failure mode analysis identified a
degraded timer relay in the CW pump discharge valve control circuit as the most likely
cause. The relay was replaced prior to plant start up. The LER was reviewed by the
inspectors and no findings of significance were identified and no violation of NRC
requirements occurred. The licensee documented the failed equipment in Condition
Report CR-WF3-2005-4593. This LER is closed.
.2 (Closed) LER 05000382/2005-002-01: RCS Leakage Detection Instrumentation and
On November 15, 2005, the licensee determined that Technical Specification 3.4.5.1,
Leakage Detection Systems, did not meet the design requirements of Regulatory
Guide 1.45, Reactor Coolant Pressure Boundary Leakage Detection System.
Specifically, the containment fan cooler condensate flow switches did not meet the
design requirements for detecting a one gallon per minute reactor coolant system leak.
This deficiency was previously dispositioned in NRC Inspection
Report 05000382/2005005, Section 1R22, Surveillance Testing, as a Green noncited
violation (NCV 05000382/2005005-01). This LER is closed.

4OA5 Other Activities
.1 Institute of Nuclear Power Operations (INPO) Audit and Evaluation Review
The inspectors completed a review of the INPO audit and evaluation report for Entergy
Operations Waterford 3 Steam Electric Station during this inspection period. The INPO
audit and evaluation was performed during spring of 2006.
.2 (Closed) NRC Temporary Instruction 2515/166: PWR Containment Sump Blockage
a. Inspection Scope
The inspectors reviewed Waterford 3's implementation of plant modifications and
procedure changes committed to in their response to Generic Letter 2004-02.
The inspectors observed installation of the containment recirculation sump strainers and
relocation of tri-sodium phosphate baskets. In addition, the inspectors verified that
Waterford 3 has implemented specific procedure changes to control tags, labels, tape,
and other objects inside the containment building. At the time of the exit meeting,
Waterford 3 was in the final stages of implementing changes to the containment coatings
assessment program, the latent debris assessment program, and the containment
strainer inspection program.
At the time of the inspection, industry testing for chemical effects on containment
recirculation sumps was not complete. Since the testing was not complete, Waterford 3
evaluated the new recirculation sump modifications to the original design basis,
Regulatory Guide 1.82, Revision 0. The inspectors reviewed the 10CFR 50.59
evaluation to verify that the design meets the original design basis.
b. Findings
No findings of significance were identified. This completes the inspection requirements
for this Temporary Instruction.
4OA6 Meetings, Including Exit
Exit Meeting Summary
.1 On September 25, 2006, the operations inspector discussed the inspection results of the
licensed operator annual requalification examination with Mr. A. Hill, Operations Training
Supervisor. A telephone exit was held with Mr. Hill on September 25, 2006. The
licensee acknowledged the findings presented in both the briefing and the final exit
meeting.
.2 On December 1, 2006, the health physics inspector presented the Occupational
Radiation Safety inspection results to Ms. K. Cook, Acting General Manager, Plant
Operations, and other members of the staff who acknowledged the findings. The
inspector confirmed that proprietary information was not provided or examined during the
inspection.
-27- Enclosure
.3 On December 8, 2006, the inspectors presented the results of Temporary
Instruction 2515/166 to Mr. K. Walsh, Waterford 3 Site Vice President, and other
members of licensee management. Licensee management acknowledged the inspection
findings. The inspectors identified that they had reviewed proprietary information but had
returned it to licensee personnel.
.4 On December 20, 2006, the inspector presented the inspection results to Mr. K. Walsh,
Site Vice President, and other members of his staff who acknowledged the findings. The
inspector confirmed that proprietary information was not provided or examined during the
inspection.
.5 On January 16, 2007, the resident inspectors presented the inspection results to
Mr. K. Walsh and other members of licensee management at the conclusion of the
inspection. The licensee acknowledged the findings presented. The inspectors asked
the licensee whether any materials examined during the inspection should be considered
proprietary. No proprietary information was identified.
4OA7 Licensee-Identified Violations
The following violation of very low safety significance (Green) was identified by the
licensee and is a violation of NRC requirements, which meets the criteria of Section VI of
the NRC Enforcement Policy for being dispositioned as an NCV.
- Part 50 of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Appendix E, IV, B,
requires a licensee establish emergency action levels based on in-plant
conditions and instrumentation. Contrary to this, the licensee changed
radiological accident assumptions in their Updated Final Safety Analysis Report in
1994, 2001, and 2003, and corresponding changes to emergency action levels
were not made. This was identified in the licensees corrective action program as
Condition Report 2005-3292. This finding is of very low safety significance
because the affected emergency action levels were at the Notification of Unusual
Event and Alert emergency classifications and did not affect classification at the
Site Area Emergency or General Emergency levels.
