SUBJECT: QUAD CITIES NUCLEAR POWER STATION, UNITS 1 AND 2 NRC COMPONENT DESIGN BASES INSPECTION (CDBI) INSPECTION REPORT 05000254/2008007; 05000265/2008007(DRS)
Dear Mr. Pardee:
On October 24, 2008, the U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed a component design bases inspection at your Quad Cities Nuclear Power Station, Units 1 and 2. The enclosed report documents the inspection results, which were discussed on October 24, 2008, with you 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. Based on the results of this inspection, four NRC-identified findings of very low safety significance were identified. Three of the findings involved violations of NRC requirements. However, because of their very low safety significance, and because the issues were entered into your corrective action program, the NRC is treating the issues as Non-Cited Violations (NCVs) in accordance with Section VI.A.1 of the NRC Enforcement Policy. If you contest the subject or severity of these NCVs, 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 a copy to the Regional Administrator, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission - Region III, 2443 Warrenville Road, Suite 210, Lisle, IL 60532-4352; the Director, Office of Enforcement, U.S.

SUMMARY OF FINDINGS
IR 05000254/2008007, 05000265/2008007(DRS); 09/22/2008 - 10/24/2008; Quad Cities Nuclear Power Station, Units 1 and 2; Component Design Bases Inspection (CDBI). The inspection was a three-week onsite baseline inspection that focused on the design of components that are risk significant and have low design margin. The inspection was conducted by regional engineering inspectors and two consultants. Four findings of very low safety significance were identified, three of which were associated Non-Cited Violations (NCVs).
The significance of most findings is indicated by their color (Green, White, Yellow, Red) using Inspection Manual Chapter (IMC) 0609, "Significance Determination Process (SDP)." Findings for which the 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.
A. NRC-Identified and Self-Revealing Findings
Cornerstone: Mitigating Systems
- Green.
A finding of very low safety significance (Green) involving a NCV of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion III, Design Control, was identified by the inspectors for the failure to evaluate the effect of lower transient voltages that would exist for safety injection actuated motor-operated valves (MOVs) prior to voltage recovery on the upstream 4Kv buses. Specifically, the licensee used non-conservative inputs and methodologies in calculating terminal voltages to safety-related MOV motors. The licensee entered the issue into their corrective action program and performed an operability review of all safety injection actuated valves to verify they had sufficient margin to operate when considering transient voltage conditions. The finding was more than minor because it was similar to IMC 0612, Appendix E, Example 3.j, in that there was a reasonable doubt on the operability of several low pressure coolant injection valves that would have to operate at voltages as low as 60 percent of rating. The inspectors determined the finding was of very low safety significance because it was a design deficiency that did not result in actual loss of safety function. This finding has a cross-cutting aspect in the area of Problem Identification and Resolution, Operating Experience because the licensee did not adequately evaluate a similar issue in an NRC Information Notice. (P.2(a)). (Section 1R21.3.b.(1))
- Green.
A finding of very low safety significance (Green) and associated NCV of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion III, "Design Control," was identified by the inspectors for the failure to assure that thermal overload relays (TOLs) on safety-related MOV circuits were sized properly and periodically tested. The licensee entered this issue into its corrective action program and was able to demonstrate operability, in that the TOLs would not prevent any MOVs from performing their safety function. The finding was more than minor because it was similar to IMC 0612, Appendix E, Example 3.j, in that failing to assure that TOLs on safety-related MOV circuits were sized properly and periodically tested led to there being a reasonable doubt as to the operability of the affected safety-related MOVs. The issue was of very low safety significance because the inspectors determined it was a design deficiency that did not 2result in actual loss of safety function. This finding has a cross-cutting aspect in the area of Problem Identification and Resolution, Self-Assessment because the licensee incorrectly evaluated this issue as not being a concern during a self-assessment. (P.3(a)). (Section 1R21.3.b.(2))
- Green.
A finding of very low safety significance (Green) and associated NCV of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion III, "Design Control," was identified by the inspectors for the failure to assure that 250VDC safety-related batteries were installed in accordance with their seismic qualification. The licensee entered this nonconformance into its corrective action program and initiated work orders to replace the intercell spacers with properly sized material. To establish a reasonable assurance of operability, the licensee reviewed seismic experience database reports from the Seismic Qualification Utility Group. The finding was determined to be more than minor because the finding was conceptually similar to IMC 0612, Appendix E, Example 3a, in that rework (spacer replacement) was required to restore seismic qualification. The issue was of very low safety significance because the inspectors determined it was a qualification deficiency that did not result in actual loss of safety function. The inspectors determined there was no cross-cutting aspect associated with this finding. (Section 1R21.3.b.(3))
- Green.
A finding of very low safety significance was identified by the inspectors for failure to accurately implement the design setpoint for reactor core isolation cooling turbine exhaust pressure switches 1(2)-1360-26A/B. The licensee entered this issue into its corrective action program and was able to demonstrate operability by determining that the setpoints would not be challenged for scenarios where reactor core isolation cooling was credited. The finding was determined to be more than minor because the finding was conceptually similar to IMC 0612, Appendix E, Example 3a, in that rework (instrument recalibration)was required to restore conformance with the design. The issue was of very low safety significance because the inspectors determined it was a design deficiency that did not result in actual loss of safety function. This finding has a cross-cutting aspect in the area of Problem Identification and Resolution, Corrective Action Program because the licensee did not adequately evaluate the issue in 2004 such that it was properly classified and prioritized. (P.1(c)) (Section 1R21.3.b.(4))
B. Licensee-Identified Violations
No violations of significance were identified.

REPORT DETAILS
REACTOR SAFETY
Cornerstone:
Initiating Events, Mitigating Systems, and Barrier Integrity
1R21 Component Design Bases Inspection (CDBI)
.1 Introduction
The objective of the CDBI is to verify that design bases have been correctly implemented for the selected risk significant components and that operating procedures and operator actions are consistent with design and licensing bases. As plants age, their design bases may be difficult to determine and an important design feature may be altered or disabled during a modification. The Probabilistic Risk Assessment (PRA) model assumes the capability of safety systems and components to perform their intended safety function successfully. This inspectable area verifies aspects of the Initiating Events, Mitigating Systems, and Barrier Integrity cornerstones for which there are no indicators to measure performance. Specific documents reviewed during the inspection are listed in the Attachment to the report.
.2 Inspection Sample Selection Process The inspectors selected risk significant components and operator actions for review using information contained in the licensee's PRA and the Quad Cities Standardized Plant Analysis Risk (SPAR) Model, Revision 3.
In general, the selection was based upon the components and operator actions having a risk achievement worth of greater than 1.3 and/or a risk reduction worth greater than 1.005. The operator actions selected for review included actions taken by operators both inside and outside of the control room during postulated accident scenarios. In addition, the inspectors selected operating experience issues associated with the selected components. The inspectors performed a margin assessment and detailed review of the selected risk-significant components to verify that the design bases have been correctly implemented and maintained. This design margin assessment considered original design reductions caused by design modification, or power up-rates, or reductions due to degraded material condition. Equipment reliability issues were also considered in the selection of components for detailed review. These included items such as performance test results, significant corrective action, repeated maintenance activities, Maintenance Rule (a)(1) status, components requiring an operability evaluation, NRC resident inspector input of problem areas/equipment, and system health reports. Consideration was also given to the uniqueness and complexity of the design, operating experience, and the available defense in depth margins. A summary of the reviews performed and the specific inspection findings identified are included in the following sections of the report. This inspection constituted 27 samples as defined in Inspection Procedure 71111.21-05.
4.3 Component Design
a. Inspection Scope
The inspectors reviewed the Updated Final Safety Analysis Report (UFSAR), Technical Specifications (TS), design basis documents, drawings, calculations and other available design basis information, to determine the performance requirements of the selected components. The inspectors used applicable industry standards, such as the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) Code, Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) Standards and the National Electric Code, to evaluate acceptability of the systems' design. The NRC also evaluated licensee actions, if any, taken in response to NRC issued operating experience, such as Bulletins, Generic Letters (GLs) Regulatory Issue Summaries (RISs), and Information Notices (INs). The review was to verify that the selected components would function as designed when required and support proper operation of the associated systems. The attributes that were needed for a component to perform its required function included process medium, energy sources, control systems, operator actions, and heat removal. The attributes to verify that the component condition and tested capability was consistent with the design bases and was appropriate may include installed configuration, system operation, detailed design, system testing, equipment and environmental qualification, equipment protection, component inputs and outputs, operating experience, and component degradation. For each of the components selected, the inspectors reviewed the maintenance history, system health reports, operating experience-related information, and licensee corrective action program documents.

b. Findings
(1) Use of Non-Conservative Inputs and Methodologies in Calculating Terminal Voltages to Safety-Related MOV Motors During Design Basis Events
Introduction:
The inspectors identified a finding of very low safety significance (Green) involving a non-cited violation of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion III, "Design Control," in that the licensee had used non-conservative inputs and methodologies in calculating terminal voltages to safety-related MOV motors during design basis events.
Description:
The inspectors determined that in the applicable MOV thrust and torque calculations the licensee non-conservatively used steady-state post transient MCC voltages associated with having 3845V at the 4Kv buses. The inspectors determined that the use of steady-state post transient MCC voltages, instead of transient block loading voltages, to evaluate the starting terminal voltages for MOVs required to change state during a safety injection (SI) signal would predict higher terminal voltages than would actually be available. Additionally, the inspectors noted that calculation QDC-6700-E-1503 assumed that SI actuated MOVs stall until adequate bus voltage was available to provide sufficient torque to operate the valves and was assumed to draw locked rotor current for the nominal 7 second time delay of the degraded voltage relay. The licensee had failed to analyze the effect on MOV torque capability during the initial block loading with lower voltages available to the valve motors and had not evaluated the potential for delay in valve movement with respect to safety analysis assumptions for valve stroke timing.
10The inspectors also determined that the licensee had not evaluated if the associated thermal overloads (TOLs) for the safety-related valve motors would trip during the time period that the MOVs could be in a stall condition due to the reduced voltage available. Based on the TOL setpoint of 4.5 seconds, the MOVs could have tripped under stall conditions, thus preventing the MOVs from performing their safety function. The licensee performed a review of all SI actuated valves to determine the impact on their margin to operate when considering transient voltage conditions. The inspectors reviewed the licensee's operability determination for low pressure coolant injection (LPCI) valves, which provided reasonable assurance that the MOVs would still function at approximately 60 percent of rated voltage. This issue has been entered into the corrective action program as action request (AR) 823087. Prior to the inspection, the licensee reviewed approximately 130 findings/violations from the first round of NRC CDBIs as summarized in NRC IN 2008-02, "Findings Identified During Component Design Bases Inspections," for applicability to Quad Cities. The IN identified a similar finding on MOV terminal voltage calculations at Prairie Island, however, the licensee incorrectly concluded that the issue was not applicable and that the associated inputs and methodologies for determining MOV terminal voltages were conservative.
Analysis:
The inspectors determined that a performance deficiency existed in that the licensee failed to evaluate the effect of lower transient voltages that would exist for safety injection actuated MOVs prior to voltage recovery on the upstream 4Kv buses.
Specifically, the licensee used non-conservative inputs and methodologies in calculating terminal voltages to safety-related MOV motors. The finding was more than minor because it was similar to NRC Inspection Manual Chapter (IMC) 0612, Appendix E,
"Examples of Minor Issues," Example 3.j, in that there was a reasonable doubt on the operability of several LPCI system valves that would have to operate at voltages as low as 60 percent of rating, thus preventing the MOVs from performing their safety function. The finding was associated with the design control attribute of the mitigating systems cornerstone and affected the cornerstone objective of ensuring the availability, reliability and capability of systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences. The inspectors determined the finding could be evaluated using the SDP in accordance with IMC 0609, "Significance Determination Process," Attachment 0609.04,
"Phase 1 - Initial Screening and Characterization of Findings," Table 4a for the Mitigating Systems Cornerstone. The finding screened as "Green" because it was a design deficiency that did not result in actual loss of safety function.
This finding has a cross-cutting aspect in the area of Problem Identification and Resolution, Operating Experience because the licensee did not adequately evaluate IN 2008-02. Specifically, the IN identified a similar finding on MOV terminal voltage calculations, however, the licensee incorrectly concluded that the issue was not applicable at Quad Cities and that the associated inputs and methodologies for determining MOV terminal voltages were conservative. (P.2(a)).
Enforcement:
Title 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion III, "Design Control," required, in part, that design control measures shall provide for verifying or checking the adequacy of design, such as by the performance of design reviews, by the use of alternate or simplified calculation methods, or by the performance of a suitable testing program.
11Contrary to the above, as of September 26, 2008, measures had not been established to verify the adequacy of the design minimum voltage levels utilized in SI actuated MOV capability assessments. This resulted in non-conservative voltages being used as design inputs in the analyses of SI actuated MOVs. Because this violation is of very low safety significance and has been entered into the licensee's corrective action program (AR 00823087), this violation is being treated as a non-cited violation consistent with Section VI.A.1 of the NRC Enforcement Policy (NCV 05000254/2008007-01; 05000265/2008007-01). (2) Inadequate Calculations/Analyses and Testing for Thermal Overload Relays (TOLs) on Safety-Related MOVs
Introduction:
A finding of very low safety significance (Green) and associated NCV of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion III, "Design Control," was identified by the inspectors for the failure to assure that TOLs on safety-related MOV circuits were sized properly and periodically tested.
Description:
Regulatory Guide 1.106, Revision 1, "Thermal Overload Protection For Electric Motors On Motor-Operated Valves," specified methods acceptable to the NRC staff for complying with Appendix B, Criterion III. The guide allowed the licensee to either bypass the TOL during a design basis event or leave the TOL in the MOV circuit continuously, provided that they were sized properly and periodically tested. These methods would ensure that the TOL devices would not needlessly prevent the motor from performing its safety-related function. The inspectors noted that the licensee was not committed to the Regulatory Guide. Although the licensee chose to leave the TOLs in the MOV circuits during a design basis event, they did not develop acceptable methods to demonstrate that the TOLs were sized properly and to ensure continued functional reliability and the accuracy of the trip point. A review of calculation 004-E-031, "Thermal Overload Reviews," determined that TOL relays may produce nuisance trips due to stalling of the MOV motor until the MCC voltage increases during the first 8.3 seconds of a design basis accident. In some cases, the TOL relays would trip in approximately 4.5 seconds, prior to the degraded voltage relay time-out (8.3 seconds), rendering that MOV inoperable. The following four LPCI MOVs (two on each unit) were susceptible to this condition: 1-1001-28A, 1-1001-28B, 2-1001-28A, and 2-1001-28B. The inspectors identified that the licensee had established in 1993 an acceptable criteria, TID E/I&C-C-02, "Thermal Overload Relay Selection of MOVs," for properly sizing TOLs for safety-related MOVs. However, the licensee had not followed through with the required calculations or analyses to assure proper sizing of circuits installed prior to issuance of the criteria were properly sized. The inspectors also noted that testing of TOLs was a recommendation of the Exelon Performance Centered Maintenance (PCM) template MA-AA-716-210-1001, "Motor Control Centers/Molded Case Circuit Breakers," when performing the cubicle preventive maintenance (PM) inspections at 480VAC and 250VDC MCCs. Procedure QCEPM 0250-11, "480/208 MCC Maintenance and Surveillance," inspected the TOLs and included steps for testing the TOLs, but there was a note indicating that the tests were to be performed only if the overload relays were replaced. Procedure QCEPM 0400-02, "Inspection, Repair, and Maintenance of DC Operated Cutler-Hammer Motor
12Controllers," inspected the TOLs, but had no steps to test the TOLs. Therefore, the testing of the TOL relays was not being performed periodically as recommended by the PCM template. As part of the preparation for this inspection, the licensee performed a self-assessment that reviewed TOL sizing for safety-related MOVs. The review was performed on four safety-related MOVs and concluded that the methodology was in accordance with industry standards and practices, and that the TOLs were selected in accordance with station guidelines and met motor protection acceptance criteria. No issues were identified with TOL sizing for safety-related MOVs. This review provided the licensee with an opportunity to self-identify that TOLs may be incorrectly sized, which could jeopardize the function of safety-related MOVs.
Analysis:
The inspectors determined that failing to assure that TOLs on safety-related MOV circuits were sized properly and periodically tested was a performance deficiency warranting a significance evaluation. The finding was more than minor because it was similar to NRC IMC 0612, Appendix E, Example 3.j, in that failing to assure that TOLs on safety-related MOV circuits were sized properly and periodically tested led to there being a reasonable doubt as to the operability of the affected safety-related MOVs. The finding was associated with the design control attribute of the mitigating systems cornerstone and affected the cornerstone objective of ensuring the availability, reliability and capability of systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences. The inspectors determined that the failure to assure that TOLs were properly sized and periodically tested could have affected the ability for MOVs to respond to initiating events. By the end of the inspection, the licensee was able to demonstrate operability in that the TOLs would not prevent any MOVs from performing their safety function.
The inspectors determined the finding could be evaluated using the SDP in accordance with IMC 0609, "Significance Determination Process," Attachment 0609.04,
"Phase 1 - Initial Screening and Characterization of Findings," Table 4a for the Mitigating Systems Cornerstone. The finding screened as "Green" because it was a design deficiency that did not result in actual loss of safety function.
This finding has a cross-cutting aspect in the area of Problem Identification and Resolution, Self- and Independent Assessments because the licensee did not adequately evaluate the issue in the 2008 self-assessment, which reviewed TOL sizing for safety-related MOVs. Specifically, the licensee reviewed four safety-related MOVs and concluded that the methodology was in accordance with industry standards and practices and that the TOLs were selected in accordance with station guidelines and meet motor protection acceptance criteria. As such, no issues were identified with TOL sizing for safety-related MOVs. (P.3(a)).
Enforcement:
Title 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion III, "Design Control," required in part, that design control measures shall provide for verifying or checking the adequacy of design, such as by the performance of design reviews, by the use of alternate or simplified calculation methods, or by the performance of a suitable testing program. Contrary to the above, as of September 26, 2008, the licensee failed to ensure design control measures were in place for verifying or checking the adequacy of the design of the TOLs for the safety-related MOVs. Specifically, the licensee failed to properly size
13TOLs on safety-related motors to ensure the MOVs would function under degraded voltage conditions. Additionally, the licensee failed to assure the trip setpoint of the TOLs had not changed after being in service by establishing a periodic testing program for the TOLs. The licensee entered this issue into its corrective action program (AR822942822942and AR823087823087. Because this violation was of very low safety significance and was entered into the licensee's corrective action program, this violation is being treated as an NCV, consistent with Section VI.A.1 of the NRC Enforcement Policy (NCV 05000254/2008007-02; 05000265/2008007-02). (3) Seismic Qualification of 250 VDC Batteries
Introduction:
A finding of very low safety significance (Green) and associated NCV of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion III, "Design Control," was identified by the inspectors for the failure to assure that 250 VDC safety-related batteries were installed in accordance with their seismic qualification.
Description:
During a walkdown of the 250 VDC batteries, the inspectors observed that the ethafoam spacers between individual battery cells did not fill the space between the cells. The batteries have a 0.5 inch space between each cell. The ethafoam in place was nominally 0.25 inches thick, which would allow the battery cells to move in a seismic event. The inspectors reviewed seismic qualification report QDC-8300-S-0673, "Review of Aged Battery Seismic Qualification Report," which established a requirement for 0.5 inch spacers to provide a snug installation.
The licensee entered this nonconformance into its corrective action program as AR822508822508and initiated work orders to replace the ethafoam spacers with properly sized material. To establish a reasonable assurance of operability, the licensee reviewed seismic experience database reports from the Seismic Qualification Utility Group (SQUG). Experience from actual seismic events has shown that batteries without spacers or with thinner spacers have survived earthquakes stronger than the Quad Cities design basis earthquake. The inspectors agreed that this SQUG experience provided reasonable assurance of operability.
Analysis:
The inspectors determined that the installed configuration of the 250 VDC batteries was contrary to the requirements of the seismic qualification report and was a performance deficiency. The finding was determined to be more than minor because the finding was conceptually similar to IMC 0612, Appendix E, Example 3a, in that rework (spacer replacement) was required to restore seismic qualification. The finding was associated with the design control attribute of the mitigating systems cornerstone and affected the cornerstone objective of ensuring the availability, reliability, and capability of systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences.
The inspectors determined the finding could be evaluated using the SDP in accordance with IMC 0609, "Significance Determination Process," Attachment 0609.04,
"Phase 1 - Initial Screening and Characterization of findings," Table 4a for the mitigation systems cornerstone. The finding screened as "Green" because it was a design/qualification deficiency that did not result in actual loss of safety function. The inspectors did not identify a cross-cutting aspect associated with this finding.
14Enforcement: Title 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion III, "Design Control," required, in part, that measures shall be established to assure that applicable regulatory requirements and the design basis are correctly translated into specifications, drawings, procedures, and instructions. Contrary to the above, when the 250VDC batteries were replaced in April 2005 and March 2006, the licensee failed to assure that the batteries were installed in accordance with their seismic qualification. Specifically, the licensee installed batteries with inadequate spacers between each cell. Because this violation was of very low safety significance and it was entered into the licensee's corrective action program as AR822508822508 this violation is being treated as an NCV, consistent with Section VI.A.1 of the NRC Enforcement Policy (NCV 05000254/2008007-03; 05000265/2008007-03). (4) Inaccurate RCIC Instrument Setpoints
Introduction:
A finding of very low safety significance (Green) was identified by the inspectors for failure to accurately implement the design setpoint for RCIC turbine exhaust pressure switches 1(2)-1360-26A/B.
Description:
The inspectors reviewed RCIC instrument surveillance records to verify that instruments were properly calibrated and maintained. The RCIC turbine exhaust pressure switches, 1(2)-1360-26A/B, trip the RCIC turbine in the event of blockage in the steam exhaust line. The four switch setpoints varied and included a 2.1 or 3.1 psig [pounds per square inch gage] head correction, which seemed to be inconsistent with the installed configuration. The switches were installed near the bottom of a vertical section of pipe that would be conducive to water accumulation from condensed steam in the exhaust line. The accumulation of water could cause the turbine to trip at exhaust pressures below the design setpoint of 25 psig +/- 1 percent, thus reducing its operating parameter space. During this inspection, the licensee investigated and found that the Unit 2 instruments were full of water. The Unit 1 instruments were found to have lesser amounts of water because they had been drained during a similar investigation in 2004. Based on the amount of water in the lines, the setpoints should have included approximately 9.0 psig and 3.9 psig head corrections for Unit 1 and Unit 2 respectively.
The licensee entered this nonconformance into its corrective action program as AR829385829385and initiated engineering changes EC 372516 and EC 372517 to determine the proper setpoints and implement the required changes. The licensee reviewed operability and determined that the setpoints would not be challenged for scenarios where RCIC was credited. The inspectors noted that in 2004, the licensee identified a setpoint inconsistency with the instruments that were documented in ACIT 231438, which initiated engineering change (EC) 352843. This change was later closed to EC 359009; however, it was considered an administrative change and did not receive sufficient priority to be resolved prior to this inspection.
Analysis:
The inspectors determined that not properly accounting for the head correction due to accumulation of water in the exhaust pressure instruments was contrary to General Electric Design Specification 257HA351AE, "Reactor Core Isolation
15Cooling System-Data Sheet," and was a performance deficiency. The finding was determined to be more than minor because the finding was conceptually similar to IMC 0612, Appendix E, Example 3a, in that rework (instrument recalibration) was required to restore conformance with the design. The finding was associated with the design control attribute of the mitigating systems cornerstone and affected the cornerstone objective of ensuring the availability, reliability, and capability of systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences. The inspectors determined the finding could be evaluated using the SDP in accordance with IMC 0609, "Significance Determination Process," Attachment 0609.04, "Phase 1 - Initial Screening and Characterization of findings," Table 4a for the mitigation systems cornerstone. The finding screened as "Green" because it was a design deficiency that did not result in actual loss of safety function. This finding has a cross-cutting aspect in the area of Problem Identification and Resolution, and in the Corrective Action Program, because the licensee did not adequately evaluate the issue in 2004, such that it was properly classified and prioritized. Specifically, the licensee identified a setpoint inconsistency in 2004 that was documented in ACIT 231438, which initiated EC 352843. This change was later closed to EC 359009, however, it was considered an administrative change, and did not receive sufficient priority to be resolved in a timely manner. As a result, as of September 22, 2008, the licensee failed to accurately implement the design setpoint for RCIC turbine exhaust pressure switches 1(2)-1360-26A/B. (P.1(c)).
Enforcement:
No violation of regulatory requirements occurred (FIN 05000254/2008007-04; 05000265/2008007-04).
===.4 Operating Experience

===.6 Risk Significant Operator Actions
a. Inspection Scope
The inspectors performed a margin assessment and detailed review of five risk significant operator actions.===
These actions were selected from the licensee's PRA rankings of human action importance based on risk achievement worth values. Where possible, margins were determined through a review of the assumed design basis, and UFSAR response times and performance times documented by job performance measures results, and by PRA analysis assumed operator response times. For the selected operator actions, the inspectors performed a detailed review and walk through of associated procedures, and observed two operating crews perform several risk significant operator actions during simulator scenarios. The inspectors also performed in plant observations for other important operator actions with a qualified senior reactor operator and an equipment operator to assess licensed operator and non-licensed operator knowledge level, adequacy of plant procedures, and the availability of special equipment required to perform the risk significant operator actions out in the plant. The following operator actions were reviewed:
- Cross-Tie Emergency AC Buses to Opposite Unit (24-1 to 14-1);
- Cross-Tie Unit 1 and Unit 2 RHRSW Systems;
- Restore Balance of Plant Support Systems Following a Loss of Offsite Power or Dual-Unit Loss of Offsite Power;
- Bypassing HPCI High Room Temperature Trip; and
17* Termination of Service Water (SW) Rupture in Reactor Building to Terminate Flooding.
b. Findings
