Dear Mr. Heacock:
On June 30, 2011, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed an inspection at your Millstone power Station Unit 2 and Unit 3. The enclosed inspection report documents the inspection results, which were discussed on August 1,2011, with Mr. A. J. Jordan and other members of your staff.
The inspection examined activities conducted under your license as they relate to safety and compliance with the Commission's 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 NRC-identified findings and two self-revealing findings of very low safety significance (Green). Three of these findings were determined to involve violations of NRC-req-uirements. However, because of the very low safety significance and because they have been entered into your corrective action program (CAP), the NRC is treating these{in_dings as non-cited violations (i.fCVs) consistent with Seition 2.3.2.a of the NRC Enforcement Policy'
lf you contest any NCV in this report, you should provide a response within 30 days of the date of this inspectionreport, with the basis for your denial, to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, ATTN.: Document iontrol Desk, Washington DC 20555-0001; with copies to the Regional Administrator, Region l; the Director, Offile of Enforcement, United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555-0001; and the NRC Senior Resident Inspector at Millstone. In addition, if you disagree with the cross-cutting aspect assigned to any finding in this report, you should piovide a response within 30 days of the date of this inspection report, with the baiis for your disagreement, to the RegionalAdministrator, Region l, and the NRC Senior Resident Inspector at Millstone. In accordance with Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 2.390 of the NRC's

SUMMARY OF FINDINGS
lR 0500033612011003, 0500042312011003; 0410112011 - 0613012011; Millstone Power Station
Unit 2 and Unit 3; Operability Evaluations, Surveillance Testing, Event Follow-up.
The report covered a three-month period of inspection by resident and region-based inspectors.
Four Green findings, three of which were non-cited violations (NCV), were identified. The significance of most findings is indicated by their color (Green, White, Yellow, Red) using Inspection Manual Chapter (lMC) 0609, "Significance Determination Process." The cross-cutting aspects were determined using IMC 0310, "Components Within the Cross Cutting Areas." Findings for which the significance determination process (SDP) does not apply may be Green or be assigned a severity level after NRC management review. The NRC's program for overseeing the safe operation of commercial nuclear power reactors is described in NUREG-1649, "Reactor Oversight Process," Revision 4, dated December 2006.
Cornerstone: Initiating Events
- Green.
A self-revealing finding (FlN) of very low safety significance (Green) was identified for Dominion's failure to follow procedure OP 2204, "Load Changes," when starting the 'A' steam generator feedpump (SGFP). Specifically, the operating crew failed to maintain adequate SGFP suction pressure (greater than 325 psig) while starting the 'A' SGFP, which led to a trip of the 'B' SGFP and subsequent reactor trip on low steam generator level. Dominion entered this issue into their corrective action program (CR431574); conducted training exercises emphasizing safe operating envelopes, critical parameters to monitor, and actions to take to restore margin if plant conditions degrade; and has revised procedure OP 2204.
The finding is more than minor because it is similar to NRC Inspection Manual Chapter 0612, Appendix E, "Examples of Minor lssues," Example 4b; in that, a failure to follow procedure led to a reactor trip. This issue is associated with the Human Performance attribute of the Initiating Events cornerstone and affected the cornerstone objective to limit the likelihood of those events that upset plant stability and challenge critical safety functions during shutdown as well as power operations. Specifically, the failure of the operators to properly monitor SGFP suction pressure led to a loss of adequate feedwater flow and a reactor trip. The inspectors conducted a Phase 1 screening in accordance with NRC Inspection Manual Chapter (lMC) Attachment 0609.04, "Phase 1
- Initial Screening and Characterization of Findings," and determined that the finding was of very low safety significance (Green) because it did not contribute to both the likelihood of a reactor trip and the likelihood that mitigation equipment or functions would not be available.
The inspectors determined that this finding had a cross-cutting aspect in the Human Performance cross-cutting area, Work Practices component, because Dominion personnel did not properly follow the load changes procedure. tH.4(b)l (Section 4OA3)
Cornerstone: Mitigating SYstems
- Green.
The inspectors identified a Green NCV of 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion XVl, rcorrective Action," for Dominion's failure to take timely corrective actions for a condition adverse to quality involving the degradation and subsequent through-wall leakage of Unit 3 service water valves 3SWP.V699 (3HVQ.ACUS1B Bypass Valve), 3SWP.VO18 (3HVQ.ACUS2B Unit Cooler Inlet Valve), and 3SWP*V696 (3HVQ.ACUS2B Unit Cooler Outlet Valve). Specifically, Dominion did not adequately implement a schedule for prioritizing and completing corrective actions on affected aluminum bronze components, which were known to be susceptible to de-alloying, commensurate with the safety significance of the degraded condition. As a result, through-wall leaks developed on these valves and resulted in unplanned loss of operability and additional unavailability of the safety-related support systems for the 'B' train of containment recirculation spray pumps. bominion took immediate corrective action to replace the three leaking service water (SW) valves (CR428785).
The inspectors determined that this issue was more than minor because it is similar to the more than minor example, 4.f , of IMC 0612, Appendix E, "Examples of Minor
'B' train lssues." Specifically, the degraded condition caused a loss of operability of the of the containment iecirculation spray system. Additionally, the finding was more than minor because it is associated with the Equipment Performance attribute of the Mitigating Systems cornerstone, and adversely affected the cornerstone objective of ensuring-the availability of systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences. ln accordance with NRC lnspection Manual Chapter 0609,
Attachment 4, "Phase 1 - Initial Screening and Characterization of Findings," a Phase 1 SDp screening was performed and determined the finding was of very low safety significance (Green) because it was not a design or qualification deficiency, did not represent an actual loss of system safety function of a single train for greater than its Technical Specification allowed outage time, and did not screen as potentially risk significant due to a seismic, flooding, or severe weather initiating event.
The finding had a cross-cutting aspect in the Problem ldentification and Resolution cross-cutting area, Corrective Action Program component, because Dominion did not ensure thatissues potentially impacting nuclear safety were corrected in a timely manner commensurate with their safety significance. Specifically, Dominion failed to adequately implement corrective actions to address a known de-alloying issue with SW valves before ihe condition led to the unplanned loss of operability and additional unavailability of the safety-related support systems for the 'B' train of containment recirculation spray pumps P'1(d)' (Section 1R15)
.
- Green.
The inspectors identified a Green NCV of 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion XVl, rcorrective Action," for Dominion's failure to take timely corrective action to address repetitive out of calibration conditions associated with safety-related 120 VAC Unit 2 inverters. To date, Dominion has taken corrective action to adjust the over-frequency and under-freq uency transfer limits (CR426589).
The inspectors determined the finding was more than minor because it is similar to the more than minor Example '4f' of NRC lnspection Manual Chapter (lMC) 0612, Appendix E, "Examples of Minor issues." Additionally, the issue is more than minor because the performance deficiency can be reasonably viewed as a precursor to a significant event; in that, the history of over- and under-frequency limits drifting out of tolerance could lead to the unavailability of safety-related equipment powered from the inverters. The inspectors conducted a Phase 1 screening in accordance with NRC IMC Attachment 0609.04, "Phase 1 - lnitial Screening and Characterization of Findings," and determined that the finding was of very low safety significance (Green) because it was not a design or qualification deficiency, did not represent a loss of system safety function, did not represent an actual loss of safety function of a single train, and did not screen as potentially risk significant due to a seismic, flooding, or severe weather initiating event.
The inspectors determined that this finding had a cross-cutting aspect in the Problem ldentification and Resolution cross-cutting area, Corrective Action Program component, because Dominion did not take appropriate corrective action in a timely manner to address the repetitive out of calibration conditions with the 120 VAC safety related inverters. tP.1(d)l (Section 1R22)
Cornerstone: Barrier IntegritY
.
- Green.
A self-revealing Green NCV of 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion XVl,
"Corrective Action," was identified for Dominion's failure to take prompt corrective action to address the cause of main steam safety valve (MSSV) exhaust pipe bushings not seating, which resulted in a loss of the Building's safety function to control the release of radioactive material. Dominion took corrective action to clean and lubricate the MSSV exhaust pipe and also implemented a modification to upgrade the MSSV outlet boot and qualify it as part of the Building filtration boundary (cR420485).
The finding was more than minor because it was associated with the Procedure Quality attribute of the Barrier Integrity cornerstone and affected the cornerstone objective to provide reasonable assurance that physical design barriers protect the public from radionuclide releases caused by accidents or events. Specifically, the failure of the MSSV sliding bushings to seat properly caused the Building Filtration System (EBFS) to fail its surveillance test, and its safety function to control the release of radioactive material could not be assured. The inspectors conducted a Phase 1 screening in accordance with NRC Inspection Manual Chapter (lMC) Attachment 0609.04, "Phase 1 - Initial Screening and Characterization of Findings," and determined that the finding was of very low safety significance (Green) because it only represents a degradation of the radiological barrier function provided for the auxiliary building.
The inspectors determined that this finding had a cross-cutting aspect in the Problem ldentification and Resolution cross-cutting area, Corrective Action Program component, because Dominion did not take appropriate corrective action to address the
Building surveillance test failure in 2009. P.1(d) (Section 4OA3)

"4.
lnspection Scope To evaluate the readiness of station personnel to fight fires, the inspectors observed Dominion personnel performance during a fire brigade drill on May 13,2011' The drill simulated a fire in the Unit 2 East Cable Vault in the turbine building. The inspectors observed the fire brigade members using protective clothing, turnout gear, self-contained breathing apparatuslnd entering the fire area. The inspectors also observed the fire fighting Jquipment brought to the fire scene to evaluate whether sufficient equipment wis aiailable to effectively control and extinguish the simulated fire' The inspectors the fire evaluated whether the peimanent plant fire hose lines were capable of reaching observed the area and whether hose usage was adequately simulated. The inspectors fire fighting directions and c6mmunications between fire brigade members.
The inspeitorJalso evaluated whether the pre-planned drill scenario was followed and observed the post drill critique to evaluate if the drill objectives we-re satisfied and that any drillweaknesses were discussed. The inspectors evaluated fire brigade performance, including the readiness of the fire brigade to fight fires and the utilization of preplanned strategies.
b. Findinqs No findings were identified.
1R08 ln-Service Inspection
a. Inspection ScoPe ln-Service Insoection Proqram The inspectors reviewed a sample of nondestructive examination activities and discussed the results of the examination with the Dominion corporate Level lll ln-Service Inspection Inspector. There were no volumetric or surface examinations from the previous outage with relevant indications that were analytically evaluated and accepted by Dominion for continued service.
Vessel Head Inspection No vessel head activities were performed during this outage' Weldino and Repair Proqram The inspectors reviewed a complete welding and fabrication package consisting of a revised piping anchor to determine if the welding activities were performed in accordance with American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) Code requirements, or an NRC approved alternative' Boric Acid Control Proqram The inspectors reviewed the boric acid control program with the Dominion engineering lead. The inspectors reviewed the photographic evidence of boric acid leaks with the performed for Dominion engineering lead and discussed various engineering evaluations boric acid found on Riactor Coolant System (RCS) piping and components.
Also, the are identified properly in inspectors verified that degraded or non-conforming conditions Dominion's corrective action program.
Steam Generator (SG) Proqram No in-situ pressure testing'was performed during this inspection. The inspectors compared the estimated Jize and number of tube flaws detected during the current outage against the previous outage operational assessment predictions to assess Domlnion:s prediction capability. The inspectors confirme_d that the SG tube eddy Power current examination scope and e*pansion criteria meet TS requirements, Electric Research Institute Guidelines, and commitments made to the NRC. The inspectors confirmed all areas of potential degradation (based on site-specific experience and industry experience) are being inspected, especially areas which are known to represent potentiil eddy current challenges. The inspectors confirmed that the eddy current probes and equipment are qualified for the expected types of tube degradation and assessed the site specific qualification of one or more techniques.
Because Dominion identified loose parts or foreign material on the secondary side of the SG, the inspectors evaluated Dominion's corrective actions. The inspectors confirmed that Domin'ron has taken/planned appropriate repairs of affected SG tubes, and inspected the secondary side of the SG to remove foreign objects. lf the foreign objects are inaccessible, the inspectors determined whether Dominion has performed an evaluation of the potential effects of object migration and/or tube fretting damage' The inspectors reviewed a random sample of eddy current data in this regard.

.
1OD000173, "lnitial Operability for Aluminum-Bronze Service Water Valves De-alloying," dated May 25,2011.
Findinqs lntroduction: The inspectors identified a Green NCV of 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion XVl, "Corrective Action," for Dominion's failure to take timely corrective actions for a condition adverse to quality involving the degradation and subsequent through-wall leakage of Unit 3 service water valves 3SWP.V699 (3HVQ.ACUS1B Bypass Valve),3SWP.VO18 (3HVQ.ACUS2B Unit Cooler Inlet Valve), and 3SWP*V696 (3HVQ.ACUS2B Unit Cooler Outlet Valve). Specifically, Dominion did not adequately implement a schedule for prioritizing and completing corrective actions on affected aluminum bronze components, which were known to be susceptible to de-alloying, commensurate with the safety significance of the degraded condition. As a result, through-wall leaks developed on these valves and resulted in unplanned loss of operability and additional unavailability of the safety-related support systems for the 'B' train of containment recirculation spray pumps.
Description:
On May 25,2011, through-wall leaks were identified on SW valves 3SWP.V699, 3SWP*V018, and 3SWP.V696. These valves provide cooling water flow to the room air conditioning units that support the 'B' train of containment recirculation spray pumps. The leaks were caused by de-alloying of the aluminum bronze (Al-Br)valve bodies that had not been properly heat-treated to prevent the galvanic leaching of aluminum from the Al-Br metal matrix. Dominion had previously identified the susceptibility of these service water (SW) valves to de-alloying in apparent cause evaluation (ACE) 017509 dated March 30, 2009. Dominion had identified the de-alloying issue, characterized the de-alloying process, and determined that the cause was due to an old design issue where Al-Br valves had been procured without a specified heat-treatment that would have minimized the susceptibility of the valves to the de-alloying process. Dominion concluded in ACE 017509 that, "Based on past experience, this new valve (3SWP.V699) will leak 12to 18 months from installation." Dominion then prioritized all installed SW valves that were susceptible to de-alloying into four tiers based on their susceptibility and risk significance in the extent of condition assessment.
Valves 3SWP.V699, 3SWP*V018, and 3SWP.V696 were prioritized as "tier one" and should have been replaced promptly.
Dominion subsequently initiated CR428785 on May 25, 2011, to address through-wall leakage from these SW valves and completed OD0004211o assess operability and extent of condition. The leaking valves were replaced and the air conditioners (3HVQ.ACUS1B and 3HVQ.ACUS2B) were returned to service on May 26,2011. The repeated failure of 3SWP.V699 and the additionalfailures of 3SWP.VO18 and 3SWP.V696 resulted in the loss of operability and additional unavailability of the 'B' train of containment recirculation spray pumps during valve replacement.
Analysis:
The inspectors determined that the failure to take timely corrective action following identification of a degraded condition was a performance deficiency that was reasonably within Dominion's ability to foresee and prevent, Traditional Enforcement does not apply because the issue did not have any actual safety consequences or potential for impacting the NRC's regulatory function, and was not the result of any willful violation of NRC requirements.
The inspectors determined that this issue was more than minor because it is similar to the more than minor example, 4.f , of IMC 0612, Appendix E, "Examples of Minor lssues." Specifically, the degraded condition caused a loss of operability of the 'B' train of the containment recirculation spray system. Additionally, the finding was more than minor because it is associated with the Equipment Performance attribute of the Mitigating Systems cornerstone, and adversely affected the cornerstone objective of ensuring the availability of systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences. In accordance with NRC Inspection Manual Chapter 0609, 4, "Phase 1 - Initial Screening and Characterization of Findings," a Phase 1 SDP screening was performed and determined the finding was of very low safety significance (Green) because it was not a design or qualification deficiency, did not represent an actual loss of system safety function of a single train for greater than its Technical Specification allowed outage time, and did not screen as potentially risk significant due to a seismic, flooding, or severe weather initiating event.
The finding had a cross-cutting aspect in the Problem ldentification and Resolution cross-cutting area, Corrective Action Program component, because Dominion did not ensure that issues potentially impacting nuclear safety were corrected in a timely manner commensurate with their safety significance. Specifically, Dominion failed to adequately implement corrective actions in a timely fashion to address a known de-alloying issue with SW valves before the condition led to the inoperability and unavailability of the safety-related support systems for the 'B' train of containment recirculation spray pumps [P. 1 (d)].
Enforcement:
10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion XVl, "Corrective Action," requires, in part, that measures shall be established to assure that conditions adverse to quality, such as failures, malfunctions, deficiencies, deviations, defective material and equipment, and non-conformances are promptly identified and corrected. Contrary to the above, from March 30, 2009, to May 25, 2011, Dominion did not take timely corrective actions to correct the de-alloying of Al-Br SW valves prior to the condition adversely impacting 'B' containment recirculation spray system operability. Dominion took immediate corrective action to replace the three leaking SW valves. Because the issue is of very low safety significance (Green) and has been entered into Dominion's CAP (CR428785), the NRC is treating this finding as an NCV, consistent with the NRC's Enforcement Policy. (NCV 05000423/2011003-01, Failure to Take Timely Corrective Actions for De-alloying of Aluminum Bronze Service Water Valves).

Findinqs lntroduction: The inspectors identified a Green NCV of 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Cntenon XVl, "Corrective Action," for Dominion's failure to take timely corrective action to address repetitive out of calibration conditions associated with safety-related 120 VAC Unit 2 inverters.
Description:
Millstone Unit 2 safety-related inverters 1 through 4 supply po{el to safety-related 121VAC instrument panels. ln April 2011, during refueling outage 2R20, inverters 1 through 4 were found outside the acceptance criteria for the under-frequency and over-frequency transfer limiter test. The over-frequency and under-frequency limits were adjusted bac[< into the acceptance criteria; however, these inverters have had a history of Oritting outside their acceptance criteria. In March 2009, the NRC documented an NCV for the inverters being found frequently out of calibration for over-frequency and under-frequency between 2005 and 2008 (NRC inspection report 05000336&42312009006). Dominion wrote CR333435 which requested a setpoint change to address the issue identified in the NCV. This request was approved in a Request for Engineering Assistance (REA), but has not been funded to date.
Additionally, during the Problem ldentification and Resolution team inspection in February 2010, NRC inspectors noted that three of the inverters had over-frequency and under-frequency transfer limits outside acceptance criteria during testing in October 2009, and that corrective action had not been implemented.
Dominion performed an assessment of the system impact of the over- and under-frequency transfer limits and determined that the equipment supplied by the inverters are designed for a wide range of frequencies, and are insensitive to the small frequency band set by the over- and under-frequency transfer limit setpoints. Dominion concluded that the out-of{olerance over- and under-frequency transfer limits do not present a safety concern and that the inverters remained operable. The inspectors reviewed Dominion's assessment and reached the same conclusion. Dominion's corrective actions will be to perform the detailed analysis necessary to increase the allowable tolerances of the over- and under-frequency setpoints from the current +l- 0.1 Hz .
Analvsis: The inspectors determined that the failure to take timely corrective action to address the repetitive out of calibration over-frequency and under-frequency transfer limits was a performance deficiency that was reasonably within Dominion's ability to foresee and correct, and should have been prevented. Traditional enforcement does not apply since there were no actual safety consequences, impacts on the NRC's ability to perform its regulatory function, or willful aspects of the finding.
The inspectors determined the finding was rnore than minor because it is similar to the more than minor Example '4f' oI NRC lnspection Manual Chapter (lMC) 0612, Appendix E, "Examples of Minor lssues." Additionally, the issue is more than minor because the performance deficiency can be reasonably viewed as a precursor to a significant event; in that, the history of over- and under-frequency limits drifting out of tolerance could lead to the unavailability of safety-related equipment powered from the inverters. The inspectors conducted a Phase 1 screening in accordance with NRC IMC Attachment 0609.04, "Phase 1 - lnitial Screening and Characterization of Findings," and determined that the finding was of very low safety significance (Green) because it was not a design or qualification deficiency, did not represent a loss of system safety function, did not represent an actual loss of safety function of a single train, and did not screen as potentially risk significant due to a seismic, flooding, or severe weather initiating event.
The inspectors determined that this finding had a cross-cutting aspect in the Problem ldentification and Resolution cross-cutting area, Corrective Action Program component, because Dominion did not take appropriate corrective action in a timely manner to address the repetitive out of calibration conditions with the 120 VAC safety related inverters. tP.1(d)l
Enforcement:
10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion XVl, "Corrective Action," states, in part, that measures shall be established to assure that conditions adverse to quality, such as failures, malfunctions, deficiencies, deviations, and defective material and equipment, and nonconformances are promptly identified and corrected. Contrary to the above, from March 2009, until June 2011 , Dominion failed to take timely corrective action to address the repetitive out of calibration conditions associated with the 120 VAC safety related inverters. To date, Dominion has taken corrective action to adjust the over-frequency and under-frequency transfer limits. Because this violation was of very low safety significance and was entered into Dominion's corrective action program (CR426589), this violation is being treated as an NCV, consistent with the NRC's Enforcement Policy. (NCV 0500336/2011003-02 Untimely Corrective Action for Safety Related tnverters Leads to Repetitive Out of Calibration Results)

a. Inspection Scope
(1 samPle)
During the period April 1 8,2011 through April 21 ,2011, the inspectors performed the following activities to verify that Dominion was evaluating, monitoring, and controlling radiological hazards for work performed during the 2R20 refueling outage in locked high radiation areas (LHRA) and other radiological controlled areas. lmplementation of these controls was reviewed against the criteria contained in 10 CFR Part 20, Technical Specifications, and with Dominion's procedures' Radioloqical Ha4ards Control and Work Qoveraqe The inspectors identified work performed in radiological controlled areas in Unit 2 and evaluated Dominion's assessment of the radiological hazards. The inspectors evaluated the survey maps, exposure control evaluations, electronic dosimeter dose/dose rate alarm set points, and radiation work permits (RWP) associated with these areas to determine if the exposure controls were acceptable. Specific work activities evaluated included inspection/removal of a damaged incore instrument (lOl) thimble tube (RWP 391) from the lCl plate and reinstalling the lCl plate and Upper Guide Structure (UGS) in the reactor vessel (RWP 302). For these tasks, the inspectors attended the pre-job briefings and discussed the job assignments with the workers. The inspectors also observed (from the centralized monitoring system and during containment tours), the implementation of exposure controls for disassembling/removing scaffolding from containment (RWP 331), re-installing insulation (RWP 326), and demobilization of SG tasks (RWP 307).
The inspectors reviewed the air sample records for samples taken prior to installing SG nozzle dams to determine if the samples collected were representative of the breathing air zone and analyzed/recorded in accordance with established procedures. During tours of the Unit 2 containment building, the inspectors verified that continuous air monitors were strategically located to assure that potential airborne contamination could be timely identified and that the monitors were located in low background areas.
The inspectors toured accessible radiologically controlled areas (RCA) in the Unit 2 containment and with the assistance of a radiation protection technician, performed independent radiation surveys of selected areas to confirm the accuracy of survey data, and the adequacy of postings. Radiation protection technicians were questioned regarding their knowledge of plant radiological conditions for selected jobs, and the associated controls, Additionally, the inspectors reviewed the RWPs developed for other work performed during 2R20 including installation of permanent shielding and diving operations. ln particular, the inspectors reviewed the electronic dosimeter dose/dose rate alarm set points, stated on the RWP, to determine if the setpoints were consistent with the survey indications and plant policy.
lnstructions to Workers By attending pre-job briefings, the inspectors determined that workers performing radiological significant tasks were properly informed of electronic dosimeter alarm setpoints, low dose waiting areas, stay times, and work site radiological conditions. By observing work-in-progress, the inspectors determined that stay times were appropriately monitored by supervision to assure no procedural limit was exceeded.
Jobs observed included inspection of a damaged lCl thimble tube and preparations for moving the UGS.
During tours of containment, the inspectors determined that LHRA and a very high radiation area (VHRA) had the appropriate warning signs and were secured.
Additionally, the inspectors identified that low dose waiting areas were appropriately surveyed, identified, and used by personnel.
The inspectors inventoried the keys to LHRAs to determine if the keys were controlled, as required by procedure' The-inspectors discussed with LHRAs and 1."Oiution protection supervision the procedural controls for accessing "ppropii"t"ly VHRAs and determined that no changes have been made to reduce the effectiveness and level of worker Protection.

Analysis:
The inspectors determined the failure to adequately monitor and take psig was a correctVe action when SGFP suction pressure dropped below 325 performance deficiency that was reasonably within Dominion's ability to foresee and does not apply since correct, and should have been prevented. Traditional enforcement ability to perform its there were no actual safety consequences, impacts on the NRC's regulatory function, or willful aspects of the finding' Chapter The finding is more than minor because it is similar to NRC Inspection Manual "Examples of Minor lssues," Example 4b; in that, a failure to follow O612,App-endix E, procedure led to a reactor trip. This issue is associated with the Human Performance objective to attribute of the Initiating Events cornerstone and affected the cornerstone critical safety limit the likelihood of thlse events that upset plant stability and challenge of the functions during shutdown as well as power operations. Specifically, the failure operators to properly monitor SGFP suction pressure led to a loss of adequate 1 screening in feedwater flow and a reactor trip.
