SUBJECT:
ANNUAL ASSESSMENT LETTER - CALLAWAY PLANT (REPORT 05000483/2005001)
Dear Mr. Naslund:
On February 2, 2005, the NRC staff completed its end-of-cycle plant performance assessment of the Callaway Plant. The end-of-cycle review for Callaway Plant involved the participation of the reactor technical divisions in evaluating performance indicators (PIs) for the most recent quarter and inspection results for the period from January 1 through December 31, 2004. The purpose of this letter is to inform you of our assessment of your safety performance during this period and our plans for future inspections at your facility so that you will have an opportunity to prepare for these inspections and to inform us of any planned inspections that may conflict with your plant activities.
This performance review and enclosed inspection plan do not include physical protection information. A separate end-of-cycle performance review letter designated and marked as Exempt from Public Disclosure in Accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 will include the physical protection review and resultant inspection plan.
Overall, Callaway Plant operated in a manner that preserved public health and safety and fully met all cornerstone objectives. Plant performance for the most recent quarter was within the Licensee Response Column of the NRCs Action Matrix, based on all inspection findings being classified as having very low safety significance (Green) and all PIs indicating performance at a level requiring no additional NRC oversight (Green).
While plant performance for the most recent quarter was within the Licensee Response column of the Action Matrix, there were safety significant PIs identified during the second and third quarters of 2004. The PI for unplanned scrams per 7000 critical hours crossed the Green to White threshold in the second quarter of 2004 as a result of three reactor trips in the first quarter of 2004, and the PI remained White during the third quarter of 2004. A supplemental inspection was conducted between November 1-8, 2004, in accordance with Inspection Procedure 95001, Inspection for One or Two White Inputs in a Strategic Performance Area. We concluded that you had adequately evaluated the associated conditions and events.
Union Electric Company -2-Additionally, the NRC staff has identified a substantive crosscutting issue in the area of Human Performance. This assessment was based on seven findings with human performance aspects specifically related to personnel errors that occurred in the Initiating Events, Mitigating Systems, and Barrier Integrity cornerstones. These findings included instances of plant personnel failing to follow procedures that resulted in a reactor trip, a safety injection, an overspeed trip of the turbine-driven auxiliary feedwater pump following an automatic initiation during a plant transient, and an inadvertent transfer of water from the spent fuel pool to the refueling water storage tank.
Additionally, fire watches were not posted as required during welding activities, which resulted in a fire remaining undetected until the fire detection systems actuated. Also, a reflash watch was not posted following initial extinguishing of the fire, which allowed the fire to reignite without being quickly detected. This substantive crosscutting issue regarding human performance is of concern because failures to follow plant procedures resulted in increased challenges to plant equipment from preventable transients and events. Although your staff has taken actions to address human performance problems, these efforts have not been fully effective in preventing additional errors from occurring.
During baseline inspections, the NRC will focus on procedure adherence and corrective actions associated with human performance errors. Samples selected for Problem Identification and Resolution followup will specifically include the review of corrective actions implemented to address human performance issues. NRC will also review your actions with regard to documenting and tracking human performance issues during the semiannual trend review of your corrective action program. The substantive crosscutting issue will be closed when the assessment of performance, as determined by inspection findings, indicates that your actions have been effective in reducing the frequency, number, and impact of human performance issues.
On the basis of the results of an independent survey of the Callaway Plant work environment, your staff implemented a number of actions to address the findings identified during the survey.
Our inspection of your corrective action program, documented in NRC Inspection Report 05000483/2004006, dated April 2, 2004, noted that your corrective actions had not been completely effective in addressing some of the concerns raised in the survey. It is our understanding that a followup survey will be conducted in 2005. We will review the results of the followup survey as part of the baseline inspection program in order to determine whether any further action is necessary.
The enclosed inspection plan details the inspections, less those related to physical protection, scheduled through September 30, 2006. In addition to the baseline inspections, we will also be conducting inspections in accordance with Temporary Instruction 2515/160, Pressurizer Penetration Nozzles and Steam Space Piping Connections in U.S. Pressurized Water Reactors (NRC Bulletin 2004-01), and Inspection Procedure 50001, Steam Generator Replacement Inspection. The inspection plan is provided to minimize the resource impact on your staff and to allow for scheduling conflicts and personnel availability to be resolved in advance of inspector arrival onsite. Routine resident inspections are not listed due to their ongoing and continuous nature. The inspections in the last 9 months of the inspection plan are tentative and may be revised at the midcycle review meeting.
In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 of the NRCs Rules of Practice, a copy of this letter and its enclosure will be made available electronically for public inspection in the NRC Public
Union Electric Company -3-Document Room or from the Publicly Available Records (PARS) component of NRC's document system (ADAMS). ADAMS is accessible from the NRC Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html (the Public Electronic Reading Room).
If circumstances arise which cause us to change this inspection plan, we will contact you to discuss the change as soon as possible. Please contact Mr. David N. Graves at (817) 860-8141 with any questions you may have regarding this letter or the inspection plan.
Sincerely,
/RA/
