SUBJECT: CALVERT CLIFFS NUCLEAR POWER PLANT - NRC INTEGRATEDINSPECTION REPORT 05000317/2006003 AND 05000318/2006003

Dear Mr. Spina:

On June 30, 2006, the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed an inspection atyour Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant Units 1 and 2. The enclosed inspection report documents the inspection results, which were discussed on July 12, 2006, with you and other members of your staff.The inspection examined activities conducted under your license as they relate to safety andcompliance 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 of very low safety significance (Green) thatwere determined to involve violations of NRC requirements. However, because of the very low safety significance and because these issues were entered into your corrective action program, the NRC is treating these violations as non-cited violations (NCVs) consistent with SectionVI.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 Nuclear Regulatory Commission, ATTN.: Document Control Desk, Washington, DC 20555-0001; with copies to the Regional Administrator Region I; the Director, Office of Enforcement, United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555-0001; and the NRC Resident Inspector at the Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant.In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 of the NRC's "Rules of Practice," a copy of this letter, itsenclosure, and your response (if any) will be available electronically for public inspection in the NRC Public Document Room or from the Publicly Available Records (PARS) component of 2NRC's document system (ADAMS).

FINDINGSIR 05000317/2006-003, 05000318/2006-003; 04/01/06 - 06/30/06; Calvert Cliffs Nuclear PowerPlant, Units 1 and 2; Surveillance Testing, Public Radiation Safety.The report covered a three-month period of inspection by resident inspectors and announcedinspections performed by reactor and emergency preparedness inspectors and a health

physicist. The inspection identified two Green findings which were determined to be 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

NUR [[]]

EG-1649, "Reactor

Oversight Process," Revision 3, dated July

2000.A.N [[]]

RC-Identified and Self-Revealing FindingsCornerstone:Mitigating System

  • Green. The inspectors identified a non-cited violation of 10 CFR 50.55a, Codesand Standards, because Constellation did not establish new reference values or

reconfirm the previous reference values following maintenance that affected

hydraulic or mechanical parameters on the auxiliary feedwater (AFW) andemergency core cooling system (ECCS) pumps as required by the AmericanSociety of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) Operation and Maintenance (OM)

Code for inservice testing. Constellation entered this issue into their corrective

action program as IRE-014-764. The planned corrective action include a review

of maintenance and IST data to determine whether new reference values are

needed or reconfirm existing reference values for the

AFW and

ECCS pumps. This finding is more than minor because the same issue affected a number ofsafety-related pumps tested, the issue was repetitive and if left uncorrected the

finding could become a more significant safety concern. The finding has a very

low safety significance because the condition did not result in an actual failure of

the

AFW and

ECCS pumps or result in systems being declared inoperable for

greater than their allowed Technical Specification outage time. A contributing

cause of the finding is related to the cross-cutting aspect in the area of problem

identification and resolution (PI&R) because Constellation did not periodically

trend and assess information to identify programmatic and common cause

problems. (Section 1R22) Cornerstone:Public Radiation Safety

  • Green. The inspectors identified a non-cited violation of 10 CFR 20.1501 forfailure to make surveys of the radioactivity in a "sink hole" to assure compliance

with 10 CFR 20.1301(a)(1) regarding the total effective dose equivalent limit for

individual members of the public from licensed operations, specifically regarding

assessing dose for batch releases of liquid radioactive waste and assessing

ivEnclosureannual dose. Constellation entered this issue into their corrective action programas IRE-010-005. Constellation created a detailed action plan for this issue to find

the leaking component, fix the leaking component, determine the extent of

contamination, map the plume, and evaluate the need for remediation.This violation is more than minor because it is associated with the cornerstoneattribute of maintaining a program and process to estimate offsite dose due to

abnormal releases and to record and report on such releases and because it

affected the Radiation Safety/Public Radiation Safety Cornerstone's objective to

ensure the adequate protection of public health and safety from exposure to

radioactive materials released into the public domain. The violation is of very low

significance because, while it did impair Constellation's ability to assess the

timing of dose consequence and the accuracy of the batch and annual effluent

release dose records and reports due to the large difference in transit times for

the permitted and non-permitted discharge pathways to the bay, Constellation did

account for all released radioactivity and did assess the cumulative doses from

their effluent releases. Additionally, the unanalyzed non-permitted pathway (i.e.,

via groundwater to the bay) did not impact private property, and the assessed

doses did not exceed the dose values in Appendix I to 10 CFR 50. (Section

4OA2.4) B.Licensee-Identified ViolationsNone

DETAIL [[]]

SSummary of Plant StatusUnit 1 began the inspection period in a refueling outage. On April 14, 2006, the unit returned tofull power operation (100 percent) and remained unchanged throughout the inspection period. Unit 2 began the inspection period at 100 percent reactor power and remained unchanged untilMay 20 when power was reduced to 85 percent for main turbine control valve testing. Following

the completion of the test the unit was restored to 100 percent power and remained there the

rest of the inspection period.1.REACTOR

TY Cornerstone: Initiating Events, Mitigating Systems, Barrier Integrity1R04Equipment Alignment (71111.04Q - 5 samples)Partial Walkdown a.Inspection ScopeThe inspectors verified that selected equipment trains of safety-related and risksignificant systems were properly aligned. The inspectors reviewed plant documents to

determine the correct system and power alignments, as well as the required positions of

critical valves and breakers. The inspectors verified that Constellation had properly

identified and resolved equipment alignment problems that could cause initiating eventsor potentially impact the availability of associated mitigating systems. The applicable

documents used for this inspection are located in the Attachment. The inspectors

performed a partial walkdown for the following activities.*13.8kV during internal inspection and testing of the 2H2103 voltage regulator*1B emergency diesel generator (EDG) walkdown during maintenance on the

1AEDG *4.16kV service transformers during the transfer of the 4kV unit busses from theirnormal to alternate supply*Unit 1 service water (

SRW) system equipment alignment walkdown duringmaintenance on the13 SRW pump breaker*21 vital 125 Vdc bus being attached and removed from the 125 Vdc reservebattery b.FindingsNo findings of significance were identified.

2Enclosure1R05Fire Protection (71111.05Q - 10 samples)Fire Protection - Tours a.Inspection ScopeThe inspectors conducted a tour of accessible portions of the ten areas listed below toassess Constellation's control of transient combustible material and ignition sources, fire

detection and suppression capabilities, fire barriers, and related compensatory

measures when required. The inspectors assessed the material condition of fire

protection suppression and detection equipment to determine whether any conditions or

deficiencies existed which could impair the availability of that equipment. The inspectors

also reviewed administrative procedure SA-1-100, Fire Fighting, and the Fire Fighting

Strategies Manual were referenced for this inspection activity. The ten areas are as

follows:*Unit 1 main steam isolation valve room*Unit 2 main steam isolation valve room

  • Unit 1 cable spreading room
  • Unit 2 cable spreading room
  • Unit 1 4 kV service transformers
  • Unit 2 4 kV service transformers
  • Unit 1 turbine building basement
  • Unit 2 turbine building basement
  • Unit 1 intake structure (inside)
  • Unit 2 intake structure (inside) b.FindingsNo findings of significance were identified.1R06Flood Protection (71111.06 - 2 internal flooding samples) a.Inspection ScopeThe inspectors reviewed flood protection measures associated with internal flood events. These events were described in the Calvert Cliffs' Engineering Standard on flooding, the

Individual Plant Examination (IPE) report and the Updated Final Safety Analysis Report

(UFSAR). The inspectors performed a walkdown of the Unit 1 and Unit 2 service water

pumps rooms (rooms 226 and 205) which contain risk significant systems andcomponents. The inspectors observed the condition of watertight doors, drain systems

and sumps, penetrations in floors and walls, and safety related instrumentation located

in these areas. In addition, the inspector reviewed operating procedures and related

internal flooding industry operating experience (OE).

3Enclosure b. FindingsNo findings of significance were identified.1R11Licensed Operator Requalification Program (71111.11Q - 1 sample) a. Inspection ScopeThe inspectors observed a licensed operator simulator training scenario conducted onMay 18, 2006, in order to assess operator performance and the adequacy of licensed

operators training program. The training scenario involved a condensate header rupture

that resulted in a loss of main feed event causing the operators to perform a manual reactor trip. Following the trip, equipment failures occurred ultimately resulting in a loss

of all feedwater. During this inspection, the inspectors focused on high-risk operator

actions performed during implementation of the abnormal and emergency operating

procedures, emergency plan (EP) implementation, and classification of the event.

The inspectors evaluated the clarity and formality of communications, the

implementation of appropriate actions in response to alarms, the performance of timely

control board operations and manipulations, and the oversight and direction provided by

the shift supervisor. The inspectors also reviewed simulator fidelity to evaluate the

degree of similarity to the actual control room, especially regarding recent control board

modifications. b. FindingsNo findings of significance were identified.1R12Maintenance Effectiveness Quarterly Review (71111.12Q - 2 samples) a. Inspection ScopeThe inspectors reviewed Constellation effectiveness in performing routine maintenanceactivities. This review included an assessment of Constellation's practices pertaining to

the identification, scoping, and handling of degraded equipment conditions, as well as

common cause failure evaluations, and the resolution of historical equipment problems.

For those systems, structures, and components (SSC) scoped in the maintenance rule

per 10 CFR 50.65, the inspectors verified that reliability and unavailability were properly

monitored and that 10 CFR 50.65 (a)(1) and (a)(2) classifications were justified in light of

the reviewed degraded equipment condition. The inspectors conducted this inspection

for the following equipment issues:*Unit 1 auxiliary feedwater isolation control valves

CV -4511 and

CV-4512*11 condensate storage tank (CST) rupture valve

4Enclosure b. FindingsNo findings of significance were identified.1R13Maintenance Risk Assessments and Emergent Work Control (71111.13 - 8 samples) a. Inspection ScopeThe inspectors reviewed Constellation's assessments concerning the risk impact ofremoving from service those components associated with the work items listed below.

This review primarily focused on activities determined to be risk significant within the

maintenance rule. The inspectors compared the risk assessments and risk

management actions performed by station procedure NO-1-117, "Integrated Risk

Management," to the requirements of

10 CFR 50.65(a)(4), the recommendations of
NUMA [[]]

RC 93-01, Revision 2, "Industry Guideline for Monitoring the Effectiveness of

Maintenance at Nuclear Power Plants," and approved station procedures.

The inspectors compared the assessed risk configuration to actual plant conditions to

evaluate whether the assessment was accurate and comprehensive. In addition, the

inspectors assessed the adequacy of Constellation's identification and resolution of

problems associated with maintenance risk assessments and emergent work activities.

The inspectors reviewed the following selected work activities:*11A service water basket strainer cleaning*12 containment air cooler repair (reverse flow in fast speed)

  • 21 vital 125 Vdc bus being attached and removed from the 125 Vdc reservebattery*13.8kV during internal inspection and testing of the 2H2103 voltage regulator
  • 22 switchgear Heating Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) inspection andlubrication*23 auxiliary feedwater pump maintenance to replace the breaker hand switch
  • 11 and 14 4kV busses during maintenance on the 14 4kV bus normal feederbreaker b. FindingsNo findings of significance were identified.

5Enclosure1R14Operator Performance During Non-Routine Plant Evolutions and Events (71111.14 - 2 samples) a. Inspection ScopeUntrippable Control Element AssemblyThe inspectors assessed operator performance associated with a Unit 1 event thatinvolved a misaligned control element assembly (CEA) while performing low power

physics testing. On April 8, 2006, at approximately 6:35 p.m., control room operators(CRO) began to insert regulating group 2 after testing groups 5, 4 and 3 with no position

anomalies. When regulating group 2 was inserted, the operators received a deviation

alarm in the control room. The alarm was due to regulating group 2, CEA #21, stopping

and being misaligned with the other CEA's in that group, which was greater than the

allowable technical specification deviation. At approximately 6:45 p.m., the Unit

1 CRO entered the Abnormal Operating Procedure
AOP -1B,

CEA Malfunction, to establish

group realignment and maintain reactivity control. A troubleshooting plan was

developed and further reactivity controls were performed through dilution and boration of

the reactor coolant while the investigation of the misaligned CEA continued. However,

the CEA did not respond to initial insertion signal and the electrical traces taken on the

drive mechanism during insertion attempts indicated abnormal responses to the lower

and upper gripper coil. This prompted the operators to declare CEA #21 untrippable.

At 10:45 p.m., the operators exited low power physics testing and then manually trippedthe reactor. Although CEA #21 did not insert, the rest of the rods did insert to provide

adequate shutdown margin. On April 09, 2006, at approximately 1:20 a.m., Unit 1 was

in Mode 3 and the operators had exited AOP-1B.The inspectors assessed the plant response and conditions specific to the event andevaluated the performance of licensed operators. The inspectors also reviewed control

room procedures and operator logs to determine if operators performed the appropriate

actions in accordance with their training and established station procedures.Unit 1 Main Turbine Control Valve OscillationsThe inspectors assessed operator performance associated with a Unit 1 main turbinestartup after the installation of a new turbine control system. On April 11, 2006, at 2:30

a.m., Unit 1 main turbine control valves experienced high frequency valve oscillations

when the turbine reached 1800 revolutions per minute. The rapid cycling of the control

valves created excessive vibrations in the Electro Hydraulic Control (EHC) piping

system. This excessive vibration was reported to the control room and the operators

immediately tripped and secured the main turbine. When the main turbine was tripped,

the vibration of the EHC piping stopped.The inspectors assessed the plant response and conditions specific to the event, andevaluated the performance of licensed operators. The inspectors also reviewed control

room procedures and operator logs to determine if operators performed the appropriate

actions in accordance with their training and established station procedures.

6Enclosure b. FindingsNo findings of significance were identified.1R15Operability Evaluations (71111.15 - 6 samples) a. Inspection ScopeThe inspectors reviewed six operability determinations to verify that the operability ofsystems important to safety were properly established and that affected components orsystems remained capable of performing their intended safety function. The inspectors

reviewed the selected operability determinations to verify they were performed in

accordance with NO-1-106, "Functional Evaluation - Operability Determination," and

QL-2-100, "Issue Reporting and Assessment." The following operability evaluations were

reviewed:*12 containment air cooler repair (reverse flow in fast speed)*11, 12, and 13 high pressure safety injection pumps

    1. 21 control element assembly testing
    1. 8 control element assembly testing
  • 12 component cooling water heat exchanger due to saltwater pin hole leak ontemperature probe b. FindingsNo findings of significance were identified1R19Post-Maintenance Testing (71111.19 - 9 samples) a. Inspection ScopeThe inspectors observed and/or reviewed post-maintenance tests associated with thefollowing nine work activities to verify that equipment was properly returned to service

and that appropriate testing was specified and conducted to ensure that the equipment

was operable and could perform its intended safety function following the completion of

maintenance. Post-maintenance testing activities were conducted as specified in station

procedure MN-1-101, "Control Of Maintenance Activities." Post-maintenance test results

associated with the maintenance activities listed below were reviewed.*12 containment air cooler repair (reverse flow in fast speed)*12 auxiliary feedwater pump

    1. 21 control element assembly testing
  • 13.8kV during internal inspection and testing of the 2H2103 voltage regulator

b. FindingsNo findings of significance were identified. 1R22Surveillance Testing (71111.22 - 9 samples) a. Inspection ScopeThe inspectors observed and/or reviewed the nine surveillance tests listed belowassociated with selected risk-significant

SSC s to verify

TS compliance and that test

acceptance criteria was properly specified. The inspectors also verified that proper test

conditions were established as specified in the procedures, no equipment

preconditioning activities occurred, and that acceptance criteria had been satisfied.*STP O-8A-1, Test Of 1A

reconfirm the previous reference values following maintenance that affected hydraulic or

mechanical parameters on the

AFW and emergency core cooling pumps.Description. In May of 2002, the
NRC granted Constellation a relief request (PR-12) toperform the inservice testing of the
AFW and

ECCS pumps in accordance with the 1995

Edition of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) Code through the

1996 Addenda of the

ASME Operation and Maintenance (
OM ) Code. The
ASME [[]]
OM Code, Subsection
IS [[]]

TB, requires, in part, that when a reference value or set of reference

values that may have been affected by repair, replacement, or routine servicing of a

pump, a new reference value or set of values shall be determined or previous values

reconfirmed by an inservice test run before declaring the pump operable.

8EnclosureThe inspectors identified maintenance activities that would have affected the hydraulic ormechanical characteristics of the

AFW and

ECCS pumps. However, no new reference

values were established or the previous values reconfirmed before declaring the pumps

operable. For example, the 12 containment spray (CS) pump was overhauled in May of

2002 and March of 2006 with maintenance activities that affected the hydraulic (larger

impeller) and mechanical (thrust bearing) parameters respectively. Subsequent testing

performed for the 12 CS pump did not establish new reference values or validate

existing values; therefore, Constellation could not demonstrate that the pump

performance curve or the mechanical parameters did not change following maintenance

activities. Furthermore, a number of the

ECCS pumps have exceeded inservice testing(

IST) acceptance criteria for their surveillance test procedure. This could be contributed

to the fact that new reference values were not established or the existing values

reconfirmed after maintenance that affected the hydraulic or mechanical parameters for

their

IST reference values. Constellation entered this issue into their corrective action program as

IRE-014-764. Additionally, to assess the extent of condition, Constellation conducted a more detailed

review of the maintenance performed prior to May 2002 on all the

AFW and

ECCS

pumps. This review will determine whether or not the maintenance activities performed

required a new reference value to be developed or if the existing values were valid. Analysis. The inspectors concluded that a performance deficiency existed becauseConstellation did not establish new reference values or reconfirm the previous reference

values following maintenance that affected hydraulic or mechanical parameters on the

AFW and

ECCS pumps. The finding is more than minor because the same issue

affected a number of pumps tested, the issue was repetitive and if left uncorrected thefinding could become a more significant safety concern due to the potential to not detectpump degradation which could impact pump operability. This finding has a very lowsafety significance because the conditions did not result in an actual failure of the

AFW and
EC [[]]

CS pumps or result in systems being declared inoperable for greater than their

allowed Technical Specification outage time. The planned corrective actions included a

review of maintenance and IST data to determine whether new reference values are

needed or if there is a need to reconfirm existing reference values for the

AFW and
EC [[]]

CS pumps. The inspectors identified that a contributing cause of this finding was

related to the cross-cutting aspect of PI&R because Constellation did not periodically

trend and assess information to identify programmatic and common cause problems.Enforcement. Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), Section 50.55a,Codes and Standards, requires, in part, that testing of safety related pumps meet the

requirements of the

ASME [[]]
OM Code. The
ASME Code, Subsection

ISTB, states that

when a reference value or set of reference values that may have been affected by

repair, replacement, or routine servicing of a pump, a new reference value or set of

values shall be determined or previous values reconfirmed by an inservice test run

before declaring the pump operable. Contrary to the above, Constellation did not

establish new vibration or hydraulic reference values or reconfirm the previous values

were acceptable following maintenance that affected the reference values of the

AFW and
EC [[]]

CS pumps. This violation is documented in Constellation's corrective action

9Enclosureprogram as

IRE -014-764 and is being treated as a non-cited violation consistent withSection
VI.A. 1 of the
NRC Enforcement Policy:
NCV 05000317 and 318/2006003-01,Failure to establish appropriate reference values or reconfirm previous values forAFW and

EP )1EP4Emergency Action Level and Emergency Plan (E-Plan) Changes (71114.04 - 1 sample) a. Inspection ScopeDuring the period of September 2005 - February 2006, the
NRC received changes madeto Constellation Nuclear's E-Plan in accordance with 10

CFR 50.54(q). Constellation

Nuclear determined the changes did not decrease the effectiveness of the E-Plan and

also that the E-Plan continued to meet the requirements of 10 CFR 50.47(b) and

Appendix E to 10 CFR Part 50. A selected sample of E-Plan changes were reviewed in-

office by the inspector. This review does not constitute approval of the changes and, as

such, the changes and the associated

10 CFR 50.54(q) reviews are subject to future
NRC inspection. The inspection was conducted in accordance with

NRC Inspection

Procedure 71114, Attachment 4. b. FindingsNo findings of significance were identified. 1EP6Drill Evaluation (71114.06 - 1 sample )Simulator Exercises a. Inspection ScopeThe inspectors observed control room simulator training exercises conducted on May 18, 2006, to assess licensed operators' performance in the area of emergency

preparedness. This training exercise focused on equipment failures and operator

challenges that would typically exist during an anticipated transient without scram (ATWS) and total loss of feedwater event. The required procedural transitions and

associated event classification was observed and evaluated by the inspectors. b. FindingsNo findings of significance were identified.

10Enclosure2.RADIATION

SAFETY Cornerstone: Occupational Radiation Safety (

OS)2OS1Access Control to Radiologically Significant Areas (71121.01 - 7 samples) a.Inspection ScopeThe inspector reviewed radiological work activities and practices and proceduralimplementation during observations and tours of the facilities and inspected procedures,

records, and other program documents to evaluate the effectiveness of Constellation'saccess controls to radiologically significant areas. This inspection activity represents the

completion of seven (7) samples relative to this inspection area

(i.e., inspection procedure sections 02.02.d thru f, 02.03.a, and 02.05.a thru c) and

partially fulfills the annual inspection requirements.Plant Walk Downs and

RWP Reviews (02.02.d, e, and f)During this inspection and the previous 2006 inspection during the Unit 1 refuelingoutage the inspector reviewed radiation work permits (

RWPs) for airborne radioactivity

areas with the potential for individual worker internal exposures of greater than

millirems Committed Effective Dose Equivalent (CEDE). For these selected

airborne radioactive material areas the inspector examined the performance of controls,

such as use of containments, ventilation systems, and procedural processes. Also, the inspector discussed with radiation protection personnel their experience with uptakes of

radioactive material since the last inspection. The inspector reviewed and assessed the

adequacy of Constellation's internal dose assessment for the highest actual internal

exposure which was less than 50 millirems

CE [[]]

DE. The inspection also examined Constellation's physical and programmatic controls for highly activated or contaminated

materials (non-fuel) stored within spent fuel and other storage pools.PI&R (02.03.a)The inspector discussed with Constellation their schedule for self-assessments andaudits. The inspector reviewed one recent self-assessment on shutdown source term

management. The inspector also examined the plan for a corporate radiological release

audit which was scheduled for Calvert Cliffs in the near future. The inspector's review of

condition reports in the corrective action program indicated that problems in the

occupational radiation safety area were being identified. High Risk Significant, High Dose Area and Very High Radiation Area (VHRA) Controls(02.05.a, b, and c)The inspector met with the Radiation Protection Manager (RPM) and discussed high-dose-rate (HDR) high radiation areas and

VH [[]]

RA's and the procedures and controls for

these areas. The inspector did not identify any significant procedural changes since the

11Enclosurelast inspection which would substantially reduce the effectiveness and level of workerprotection. The inspector discussed with several first-line Health Physics (HP)

supervisors the controls in place for special areas that have the potential to become

VH [[]]

RA's during certain plant operations. Also, during tours inside the radiologically

controlled area during this and the previous inspection, the inspector verified adequate

posting and locking of selected entrances to

OA2Identification and Resolution of Problems.1Corrective Action Review by Resident Inspectors a.Inspection ScopeContinuous ReviewThe inspectors performed a daily screening of items entered into Constellation'scorrective action program as required by Inspection Procedure 71152, "Identification and

Resolution of Problems." The review facilitated the identification of potentially repetitive

equipment failures or specific human performance issues for follow-up inspection. It was

accomplished by reviewing each issue report and attending screening meetings, and

accessing Constellation's computerized database. .2Semi-Annual

PI&R ReviewThe inspectors performed an in-depth, semi-annual,

PI&R review of Constellationdocuments written from January 2006 through June 2006 to verify that Constellation is

identifying issues at the appropriate threshold, entering them into the corrective action

program, and ensuring that there are no significant adverse trends outside of the

corrective action program which would indicate the existence of a more significant safety

issue. The inspectors reviewed Constellation PIs, self-assessment reports, quality assuranceaudit/surveillance reports, corrective action reports, and system health reports and

compared the results of the review with results reported in the NRC baseline inspection

program. Additionally, the inspectors evaluated the reports against the requirements ofthe Constellation Nuclear's

CAP as delineated in

QL-2, "Self-Assessment/Corrective

Action Program."

15Enclosure b. FindingsNo findings of significance were identified..3Identification and Resolution of Problems - Occupational Radiation Safety (71121.01, .02, and .03) a. Inspection ScopeThe inspector selected three issues identified in the

CAP for review (i.e., Issue Report (

IR) Nos. IRE-012-638, -012-716, and -013-639). The issues were

associated with radiography boundaries, intermittent tele-dosimetry contact, and the

year-end collective radiation exposure goal, respectively. The documented reports for the issues were reviewed to determine whether the full extent of the issues was

identified, an appropriate evaluation was performed, and appropriate corrective actions

were specified and prioritized. b.FindingsNo findings of significance were identified. .4Annual sample review - Elevated Levels of Tritium Found in #11 Piezometer Tube a.Inspection ScopeThe inspectors selected the issue of elevated levels of tritium found in a groundwatersample collected on Calvert Cliffs site property for a detailed review. Routine annual

groundwater samples from four piezometer tubes (40 to 50 feet deep) were collected on

December 3, 2005. Three of the four samples did not indicate any radioactivity.

Samples from #11 piezometer tube, however, indicated 1800 picocuries per liter (pCi/l)

of tritium in the groundwater. No gamma-emitting radioactivity was detected in any

samples. The previous annual samples for these four tubes did not identify any plant-

related radioactivity. Issue Report (IR) IRE-010-005 was written to identify this issue,

and the

NRC was notified. The

IR was categorized as requiring an apparent causal

evaluation. The last sample for #11 piezometer tube, which measured positive for

tritium, was taken on December 21, 2005. Monthly samples since then have not

indicated any plant-related radioactivity. During this inspection, the inspectors discussed this issue with cognizant personnel andreviewed the following:-the Action Plan for Tritium in Groundwater (Updated as of April 17, 2006), -the positive sample results for #11 piezometer tube,

-the negative sample results from the thirteen onsite deep wells (approximately

-460 feet) available for supplying site drinking water and makeup water, from theonsite storm drains, from the onsite subsurface drains (SSDs), and from the

piezometer tubes (other than #11),

16Enclosure-the input to the

10 CFR 50.75(g) file, -

OE21958 - low levels of tritium found in groundwater at Calvert Cliffs,

-the Tritium and Generic Implications Presentation prepared for the site's Nuclear

-Safety Review Board, and

-the Corporate Radiological Release Audit Project Plan. b.FindingsIntroduction. A Green Non-Cited Violation (NCV) was identified for failure to makesurveys of the radioactivity in a large "sink hole" in order to make an evaluation in

accordance with

10 CFR 20.1501(a) to assure compliance with 10

CFR 20.1301(a)(1)

regarding the total effective dose equivalent limit for individual members of the public

from the licensed operations.Description. Routine annual liquid samples from four piezometer tubes (40 to 50 feetdeep) were collected on December 3, 2005. These piezometer tubes were installed

during the site hydrology study prior to plant construction. Their purpose was for

measurement of ground water depth at the site. A piezometer consists of a small-

diameter steel pipe equipped with a well point or perforated PVC pipe. Three of the four

liquid samples indicated no activity. Multiple samples from #11 piezometer tube,

however, indicated 1800 picocuries per liter (pCi/l) of tritium in the groundwater. For

comparison, these sample results are below the Environmental Protection Agency's

drinking water standard for tritium which is 20,000 pCi/l. No gamma-emitting

radioactivity was detected in any samples. The previous annual samples for these four

tubes did not identify any plant-related radioactivity.

IR [[]]

IRE-010-005 was written to

identify this issue and the

NRC was notified. The

IR was categorized as requiring an

apparent causal evaluation. The last sample for #11 piezometer tube, which measured

positive for tritium, was taken on December 21, 2005. Monthly samples since then have

not indicated any plant-related radioactivity. Upon identification of this issue Constellation recognized the need to investigate thesource of the tritium and effect corrective actions. Their documented action plan for this

issue (updated as of April 17, 2006) included multiple stages, including finding the

leaking component, fixing the leaking component, determining the extent of

contamination, mapping the plume, and evaluating the need for remediation. The plan

included 36 action items, each with an assigned responsible individual and with an

estimated completion date. Action items which have been initiated included increasing

the number of sampling points and sampling frequencies for groundwater monitoring,

contracting for the services of an experienced hydrologist/geologist for consultation,

attempting to "age" the tritium samples, and obtaining site drawings showing the location

and arrangement of building foundations, tanks, pools, and underground piping to

evaluate systems as potential sources of the tritium. As of January 3, 2006, the investigation indicated that a previously-ruptured,underground pipe, plugged in 2001, was partially or wholly responsible for the tritium

contamination. By design, the circulating water discharge conduits (CWDCs) accept

normal, permitted, liquid radioactive waste discharges and dilute the liquid waste prior to

17Enclosuredischarges to the Chesapeake Bay. At a point downstream of the liquid radioactivewaste connection to the

CW [[]]

DC #22, this conduit, by design, was connected to a

subsurface drain (SSD) system by a section of underground piping. This piping

connection allowed circulating water (containing tritium) to enter the SSD system

(essentially a large, industrial French drain) and the circulating water (saltwater)

corroded the metal piping connection to the French drain. The corroded section of

underground piping to the French drain allowed a pathway for circulating water to leak to

the soil approximately 50 feet from # 11 piezometer tube. The circulating water leakage

washed out soil in that area which eventually resulted in a large "sink hole" that opened

and revealed itself on February 26, 2001. This "sink hole" was oval-shaped, measured

approximately 6 feet by 4 feet in cross-section and approximately 11 feet deep, and

required 800 cubic feet of dirt to fill. To stop the circulating water from entering the

corroded section of underground piping to the French drain, the connection to the

CW [[]]

DC #22 was plugged in April of 2001.As of April 20, 2006, the station is still continuing actions to verify that there are noadditional sources contributing to this contamination to determine the extent of

contamination and to map the plume. Also, the station is currently evaluating the need

to drill additional monitoring wells. The investigation is ongoing. Based on the above and only assessing the time period from December 3, 2005, to thepresent time the station's problem identification, classification, and prioritization of this

issue and the identification of needed corrective actions appear timely and adequate for

this point in their investigation. Constellation's action plan acknowledged that there were

further evaluations and actions which still needed to be completed. However, during the time period from the appearance of the "sink hole" to the pluggingof the underground pipe connection to

CW [[]]

DC #22 and the backfill of the "sink hole," no

radiation surveys of the contents of the "sink hole" were performed to ascertain the

nature and extent of radioactive contamination or the possibility of a ground water

plume. This was the case even though the "sink hole" was created by the action of

circulating water containing radioactive material from routine, permitted, plant discharges

of liquid radioactive waste. Thus, such a survey would have been reasonable and

appropriate under the circumstances. Thus, for an unknown period of time, some

portions of routine permitted liquid radioactive waste discharges to

CW [[]]

DC #22 were

inadvertently released on site into the ground instead of being released as planned and

permitted into the Chesapeake Bay. Based on information in Section 2.5, Hydrology, of

the site's Undated Final Safety Analysis Report (UFSAR), these portions would flow to

the bay via shallow groundwater flow (i.e., a non-permitted pathway) within the site's

boundaries; the transit time for groundwater flow to the bay is much longer than that for

permitted discharges via the

CWDC which transit time is a matter of seconds or minutes.Analysis. The performance deficiency was that no radiation surveys of the contents ofthe "sink hole" were performed. This was a violation of 10

CFR 20.1501 and is more

than minor because it is associated with the cornerstone attribute of maintaining a

program and process to estimate offsite dose due to abnormal releases and to properly

report such releases, and because it affected the Radiation Safety/Public Radiation

18EnclosureSafety Cornerstone's objective to ensure the adequate protection of public health andsafety from exposure to radioactive materials released into the public domain. This

finding did not meet the criteria for traditional enforcement. Using Manual Chapter 0609,

Appendix D, the Public Radiation Safety Significance Determination Process (SDP), it

was determined that this violation did not involve the radioactive material control or

environmental monitoring program branches but did involve the SDP's radioactiveeffluent release program branch. Further, it was determined that this violation was of

very low significance based on the fact that while it did impair Constellation's ability to

assess the timing of dose consequence and the accuracy of the batch and annual

effluent release dose records and reports due to the large difference in transit times for

the permitted and non-permitted discharge pathways to the bay, Constellation did

account for all released radioactivity and did assess the cumulative doses from their

effluent releases. Additionally, the violation is of very low significance because the

involved radioactivity had been addressed in Constellation permits prior to release, the

unanalyzed non-permitted pathway (i.e., via groundwater to the bay) did not impact

private property, and the dose consequences would not differ significantly from thosecalculated in Constellation's release permits, and the assessed doses did not exceed

the dose values in Appendix I to

10 CFR 50. Therefore, the finding is Green. Enforcement. 10

CFR 20.1501 requires that each licensee make or cause to be madesurveys that may be necessary for Constellation to comply with the regulations in Part

and that are reasonable under the circumstances to evaluate the extent of radiation

levels, concentrations or quantities of radioactive materials, and the potential radiological

hazards that could be present. Contrary to the above, as of February 26, 2001,

Constellation did not make surveys to assure compliance with 10 CFR 20.1301(a)(1)

regarding the dose limit for individual members of the public from licensed operations.

Specifically, for an unknown period of time, some portions, of routine permitted liquid

radioactive waste discharges to

CW [[]]

DC #22, were inadvertently released into the ground

instead of being released as planned and permitted into the Chesapeake Bay. Based on

information in Section 2.5, Hydrology, of the site's

UFS [[]]

AR, these portions would flow to

the bay via shallow groundwater flow (i.e., a non-permitted pathway) within the site's

boundaries. The transit time for groundwater flow to the bay is much longer than that for

permitted discharges via the

CW [[]]

DC's which transit time is a matter of seconds or

minutes and Constellation did not accurately assess, record, and report the annual dose

to individual members of the public during that time period. Because this failure to meet

a survey requirement is of very low safety significance and has been entered into the

corrective action program (CAP) Condition Report (CR) IRE-014-244, this violation is

being treated as a Non-Cited Violation (NCV), consistent with Section

VI.A of the

NRCEnforcement Policy: NCV 05000317,05000318/2006003-02, Failure to perform anadequate survey for radioactivity.

19Enclosure4OA3Event Followup(Closed)

LER 05000317/2006-002 Control Element Assembly Determined to beUntrippableOn April 8, 2006, while performing low power physic testing,

CEA 21 stopped inserting atapproximately 134 inches. Upon further attempts to troubleshoot the situation, CEA 21

was determined to be untrippable. Operators then commenced a shutdown and placed

the unit in Mode 3 in accordance with station procedures and TS Limiting Condition for

Operation (LCO) 3.1.4.F. Following the shutdown, testing was performed on CEA 21

and all other

CEA s. The

LER was reviewed by the inspectors and no findings of

significance were identified, and no violation of NRC requirements occurred.

Constellation documented the event in their corrective actions program as

LER is closed.4OA5Other ActivitiesImplementation of Temporary Instruction (TI) 2515/165 - Operational Readiness of Offsite Power and Impact on Plant Risk a.Inspection ScopeThe objective of TI 2515/165, "Operational Readiness of Offsite Power and Impact onPlant Risk," was to gather information to support the assessment of nuclear power plant

operational readiness of offsite power systems and impact on plant risk. The inspectors

evaluated Constellation procedures against the specific offsite power, risk assessment

and system grid reliability requirements of TI 2515/165. They also discussed the

attributes with Constellation personnel. The information gathered while completing this TI was forwarded to the Office of NuclearReactor Regulation for further review and evaluation. bFindingsNo findings of significance were identified..24R01Reactor Vessel Head Replacement Inspection (71007 - 1 sample) a. Inspection Scope The scope covers onsite and in-office review of post-installation, testing and storageactivities that occurred during the refueling outage.

20EnclosurePost-Installation TestingPost-installation verification and testing inspections were reviewed in the followingareas:-Constellation's post-installation inspections and verifications program and itsimplementation.-The conduct of reactor coolant system leakage testing and review the testresults.-The procedures for equipment performance testing required to confirm thedesign and to establish baseline measurements and the conduct of testing.-Compliance with regulatory requirements including the incorporation of inserviceinspection requirements of

10 CFR 50.55a (g).-Adherence to and reconciliation of code requirements.Specifically, the inspector reviewed Constellation's inspection results for componentalignment, cleanliness, foreign material exclusion (

FME) and parts inventory for the new

reactor head and enhanced service structure, as documented in the "Post Construction

Record of Walkdown," and discussed the walkdown with knowledgeable members of

plant staff. In addition, the results of several types of tests conducted at the conclusion

of the outage were reviewed by the inspector, including: the polar crane post

maintenance testing (mechanical and non-destructive examination (NDE), control rod

drop time tests, and visual testing (VT-2) performed on the reactor coolant system (RCS)

to confirm no leakage was observed.StorageThe inspector directly observed the storage package on the old head and the securitybarriers present at the storage location. The radiological surveys taken for contact and

general area dose rates were reviewed. The inspector verified that access to the

storage area was properly controlled and did not create the potential for an unmonitored

effluent release pathway and that external radiation levels at the perimeter would be

below applicable limits, and dose rates at the perimeter were below applicable limits.TSP ModificationsThe last report referenced Constellation's efforts to align the new thimble support plate(TSP) onto the upper guide structure in the vessel. Constellation documented a

condition report on the installation process in their corrective action program

(IRE-012-607). During the third phase of onsite inspection the inspector reviewed an

independent assessment of whether the modifications to the TSP could affect design

basis structural analysis and loading conditions. The inspector also reviewed FME

controls implemented during the outage while the TSP was being modified, as well as

the operational decision making checklist. At the time of the inspection exit,

Constellation was compiling design and condition report information to incorporate into a

root cause report and determine the applicability of these issues to the upcoming TSP

replacement planned for Unit 2.

21Enclosure b.FindingsNo findings of significance were identified.4OA6Meetings, Including ExitExit Meeting SummaryOn July 12, 2006, the resident inspectors presented the inspection results to yourselfand other members of your staff who acknowledged the findings. The inspectors asked
