UNITED STATES
NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION
OFFICE OF NUCLEAR REACTOR REGULATION
WASHINGTON, D.C. 20555 January 11, 1994 NRC INFORMATION NOTICE 94-03: DEFICIENCIES IDENTIFIED DURING SERVICE WATER
SYSTEM OPERATIONAL PERFORMANCE INSPECTIONS
Addressees
All holders of operating licenses or construction permits for nuclear power
reactors.
Purpose
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is issuing this information
notice to alert the addressees to deficiencies identified by the NRC during
service water system operational performance inspections that were recently
performed. It is expected that recipients will review the information for
applicability to their facilities and consider actions, as appropriate, to
avoid similar problems. However, suggestions contained in this information
notice are not NRC requirements; therefore, no specific action or written
response is required.
Description of Circumstances
Design and operational concerns associated with service water systems have
been identified in licensee event reports and during NRC inspection
activities. To address these concerns, the NRC issued Generic Letter 89-13, Service Water System Problems Affecting Safety-Related Equipment,' on
July 18, 1989. This generic letter requested that licensees and applicants
perform actions to ensure that their service water systems are in compliance
with 10 CFR Part 50 (Appendix A, General Design Criteria 44, 45, and 46 and
Appendix B,Section XI). The NRC conducted four workshops on Generic
Letter 89-13 and issued information developed from the transcripts of these
workshops as Supplement 1 to the generic letter on April 4, 1990.
Because problems continued to be experienced with service water systems, the
NRC developed the service water system operational performance inspection to
assess licensee actions i-n response to Generic Letter 89-13 and to evaluate
such aspects of the service water system as design, operations, maintenance, surveillance/testing, and quality assurance/corrective actions. These
inspections are performed in accordance with Temporary Instruction 2515/118, Revision 1, 'Service Water System Operational Performance Inspection
(SWSOPI)," contained in the NRC Inspection Manual. As indicated in the
temporary instruction, these inspections will generally be conducted at plants
licensed before 1979, as well as at newer plants that are perceived to have
service water system problems or more general maintenance, engineering, and
technical support problems.

VVIN 94-03 January 11, 1994 Discussion
During the initial seven service water system operational performance
inspections, deficiencies and weaknesses were found in the evaluation of heat
transfer requirements and in the development of testing programs and
procedures. In addition, the results of these inspections indicated that, in
general, licensees have not taken all actions requested by Generic
Letter 89-13 in a completely effective manner.
Some examples of the deficiencies and weaknesses that were identified during
the initial inspections are summarized in this section.
(1) Evaluation of Heat Transfer Requirements
The findings in this area pertain to inadequacies in analyses of the
heat loads to be removed by the service water systems, evaluations of
the performance of the heat exchangers and room coolers, and
verification of hydraulic analyses. For example, the following
deficiencies were identified:
- The calculated heat load in a compartment containing safety-related
pumps exceeded the rated room cooler capacity. Also, initial
calculations failed to include heat loads from auxiliary motors
located in the compartment. During the inspection, the licensee
performed a new calculation and determined that equilibrium room
temperature would be higher than the existing analyzed temperature
in the compartment. Additional evaluations were performed to verify
that the electrical equipment in these areas could operate at the
higher room temperature. (Quad Cities)
- A calculation to demonstrate the heat removal capacity of a safety- related room cooler failed to consider that the actual flow through
the room cooler was less than design flow. (Monticello)
(2) Testing Programs and Procedures
The findings in this area are related to failure to include safety- related service water system valves in the inservice testing (IST)
program, failure to perform required tests in accordance with the IST
program, failure to test the service water system components to verify
their functional capabilities, and failure to use appropriate test
acceptance criteria. For example, the following deficiencies were
identified:
- Various safety-related valves were omitted from the IST programs at
several plants. In one case, many manual valves in the service
water system that perform specific functions in shutting down the
reactor were not included in the IST program. In another case,
IN 94-03 January 11, 1994 manual valves and check valves that perform safety functions in
aligning the emergency backwash lines to the essential service water
strainers were not included in the IST program. Also, power- operated flow-control valves that are normally closed, but perform
a safety function in opening to admit service water flow, were not
included in the IST program. (Monticello, South Texas, Quad Cities)
- Periodic testing of valves as required by the IST program was not
performed. The service water system valves in the control room
heating, ventilation, and air conditioning system were not tested
quarterly, as required by the plant's IST program. (Quad Cities)
pumps. The service water pump curves were used in testing the pumps
instead of specific reference values as required by Section XI of
the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code (ASME Code) without
obtaining NRC staff approval for relief from the provisions of the
Code. Flow instruments that were not in compliance with the
instrument accuracy requirements specified by Section XI of the ASME
Code were used in the testing of essential cooling water pumps
without obtaining relief from the Code requirements.
(Monticello, South Texas)
- The preoperational test results of the service water system had not
been reconciled with the current system configuration and operation.
For example: (a)the system was tested with the nonsafety-related
portions isolated, although the existing operation of the system did
not isolate these portions on a safety injection signal alone, (b)
the system was not tested with two pumps operating to verify system
performance under post-accident recirculation conditions, and (c)
the system flow balance was established on the basis of three-pump
operation instead of the limiting case of one-pump operation
supplying all the loads. (Ginna)
(3) Weaknesses in the Implementation of Generic Letter 89-13 In addition to the specific deficiencies discussed above, weaknesses
were noted in the implementation of Generic Letter 89-13 actions.
Significant weaknesses in the implementation of Actions II and III of
Generic Letter 89-13 are discussed below.
Action II of Generic Letter 89-13 requested that licensees establish a
test program to periodically verify the heat transfer capability of all
safety-related heat exchangers cooled by service water. The total test
program was to consist of an initial test program and a periodic retest
program. The following examples illustrate some of the implementation
weaknesses found at one or more plants for this action item:
- Several safety-related room coolers were not tested in accordance
with commitments in the licensee response to the generic letter.
JIN 94-03 January 11, 1994 * No baseline testing was done to verify that minimum flow to each
component was achieved.
- Where the periodic maintenance method was chosen in lieu of heat
transfer performance testing of heat exchangers and room coolers, no
sound technical basis for inspection and preventive maintenance
frequencies was established.
- The design temperature difference across a heat exchanger was used
as an acceptance criterion without correcting for the actual test
conditions where the test heat load was substantially less than the
design value.
Action III of Generic Letter 89-13 requested that licensees establish a
routine inspection and maintenance program for open-cycle service water
system piping and components to ensure that corrosion, erosion, protective coating failure, silting, and biofouling would not degrade
the performance of the safety-related systems supplied by service water.
The following examples illustrate some of the implementation weaknesses
found at one or more plants for this action item:
- Adequate training or guidance was not provided for personnel to
evaluate potentially degraded conditions of service water system
components.
- Maintenance and inspection programs did not provide assurance that
critical instrument lines and small-bore piping would not become
clogged or degraded.
- Actions were not taken within a reasonable time period to inspect
and clean room coolers in the second unit when similar coolers in
the first unit were found to be significantly degraded.
- Nonsafety-related service water system piping in the discharge path
from safety-related components was not included in an inspection and
maintenance program.
The findings of these inspections illustrate the importance of systematic
