SUBJECT: LIMERICK GENERATING STATION - NRC INTEGRATED INSPECTION REPORT 05000352/2008003 AND 05000353/2008003
Dear Mr. Pardee:
On June 30, 2008, the U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed an inspection at your Limerick Generating Station Units 1 and 2. The enclosed integrated inspection report documents the inspection results which were discussed on July 7, 2008, with Mr. C. Mudrick 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 one NRC-identified finding of very low safety significance (Green).
The finding was determined to involve a violation of an NRC requirement. Additionally, two licensee-identified violations which were determined to be of very low safety significance are listed in this report. However, because of the very low safety significance and because they are entered into your corrective action program (CAP), the NRC is treating these findings as non-cited violations (NCVs), consistent with Section VI.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 basis for your denial, to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, ATTN: Document Control Desk, Washington, DC 20555-0001; with copies to the Regional Administration, Region 1; the Director, Office of Enforcement, United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555-001; and the NRC Resident Inspector at the Limerick facility. In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 of the NRC's "Rules of Practice," a copy of this letter, its enclosure, 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 the NRC's document system (ADAMS). ADAMS is accessible from the NRC Website at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html (the Public Electronic Reading Room).

- SUMMARY OF FINDINGS
- IR 05000352/2008003, 05000353/2008003; 04/01/2008 - 06/30/2008; Limerick Generating Station, Units 1 and 2; Problem Identification and Resolution.
- The report covered a three-month period of inspection by resident inspectors and an announced inspection by a regional health physics inspector.
- One NRC-identified Green finding, determined to be a non-cited violation (NCV), was identified.
- 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," Revision 4, dated December 2006.
- A.
- NRC-Identified and Self-Revealing Findings
- Cornerstone:
- Barrier Integrity * Green.
- The inspectors identified an NCV of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Part 50 (10CFR50), Appendix B, Criterion XVI, "Corrective Action," for not correcting a condition adverse to quality associated with safety-related motor operated valve motor control center auxiliary contact switches in a timely manner following the failure of the Unit 1 Core Spray Loop A test bypass primary containment isolation valve (HV-052-1F015A) to close on August 3, 2006.
- As a result, the Unit 2 Reactor Core Isolation Cooling (RCIC) turbine exhaust line vacuum breaker outboard primary containment isolation valve (HV-049-2F080) experienced a similar failure to close on June 4, 2008.
- The finding was more than minor because it was associated with the structures, systems, and components and barrier containment performance attribute of the Barrier Integrity cornerstone and affected the objective to provide reasonable assurance that physical design barriers protect the public from radionuclide releases caused by accidents and events.
- The inspector assessed the finding using Phase 1
of
- IMC 0609, Appendix A, "Significance Determination Process for Reactor Inspection Findings for At-Power Situations" and determined the finding to be of very low safety significance (Green) because the finding did not represent an actual open pathway in the physical integrity of reactor containment.
- This finding has a cross-cutting aspect of Problem Identification and Resolution because Exelon did not take appropriate corrective actions to address safety issues and adverse trends in a timely manner, commensurate with the safety significance and complexity (P.1(d)). (Section 4OA2)
- B.
- Licensee-Identified Violations
- Violations of very low safety significance, which were identified by Exelon, have been reviewed by the inspectors.
- Corrective actions taken or planned by Exelon have been entered into their corrective action program.
- These violations and corrective actions are listed in Section 4OA7 of this report.

- On June 4, 2008, Unit 2 RCIC turbine exhaust line vacuum breaker outboard PCIV (HV-049-2F080) failed to close during testing.
- Exelon determined that the cause of the MOV's failure was mechanical binding due to misalignment between the auxiliary contact switches located in the associated motor control center starter.
- The contact switch arrangement was "double stacked", meaning two sets of double auxiliary contacts switches (one base switch and one add-on switch) were connected on top of each other.
- Auxiliary contact switch binding due to misalignment between the base switch and add-on switch caused a normally closed set of contacts to stay in the open position.
- The contact serves as an interlock in the closing circuit for the valve to prevent simultaneous energization of the open and close coil in the control circuit.
- With the contact stuck in the open position, energization of the close coil was prevented.
- The inspectors reviewed the history of MOV failures due to auxiliary contact switch binding.
- This review included
- IR 516425 associated with the failure of the Unit 1 CS Loop A test bypass PCIV (HV-052-1F015A) to close on August 3, 2006.
- Exelon also determined this failure to be caused due to binding of the "double stacked" auxiliary contact switches similar to the
- HV-049-2F080 failure.
- Exelon's investigation found that the same failure mechanism had also been previously experienced at Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station.
- The problem associated with binding caused by misalignment of "double stacked" auxiliary contact switches was significantly reduced at Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station by eliminating the add-on double auxiliary contact switch and replacing them with less susceptible single auxiliary contact switches.
- Unused spare contacts were also eliminated which minimized the need to use more than one single auxiliary contact switch.
- Exelon determined that the extent-of-condition of the cause of potential binding included all 480VAC motor starters installed with "double stacked" auxiliary contact switches on Units 1 and 2.
- For pumps and fans, the normally closed auxiliary contacts were typically used in non-critical indication circuits.
- However, for MOVs, the normally closed contact is used in the close and open interlock and failure will prevent valve operation.
- The station's corrective actions included inspecting all high and medium risk valve controllers, as defined by Exelon's Specification
- NE-145, "Selection of Generic Letter 96-
- Program Valves," to identify susceptible controllers and to develop a plan to eliminate the add-on double auxiliary contact arrangement during the next respective system outage window.
- No specific actions were identified for valves in low risk applications.
- Enclosure
- The corrective action for low risk valves was to develop a method to fully eliminate the use of this component in low risk applications.
- This action for low risk valves had a status note following it stating "pending management decision on necessity."
- The due date for completing the corrective actions was June 30, 2009.
- The inspectors compared the corrective actions associated with low risk valves with the guidance in
- LS-AA-125, "Corrective Action Program Procedure," Revision 11.
- The inspectors concluded that these actions did not meet the guidance that corrective actions "clearly state the desired end result" or that the corrective actions "address the identified cause." The performance deficiency associated with this issue is the failure to take appropriate corrective actions in a timely manner to address the adverse condition of mechanical binding in "double stacked" auxiliary contact switches for low risk motor-operated valves.
- The performance deficiency applies to both Units 1 and 2 because Exelon's established corrective action in
- IR 516425 applied to both units.
- As a result,
- HV-049-2F080, a low risk safety-related valve, failed to close due to mechanical binding of the "double stacked" auxiliary contact switches on June 4, 2008.
- This performance deficiency applies to both Units 1 and 2 because Exelon's established corrective actions in
- IR 516425 applied to both units.
- Analysis.
- The finding was more than minor because it was associated with the structures, systems, and components and barrier containment performance attribute of the Barrier Integrity cornerstone and affected the objective to provide reasonable assurance that physical design barriers protect the public from radionuclide releases caused by accidents and events.
- The inspector assessed the finding using Phase 1 of
- IMC 0609, Appendix A, "Significance Determination Process for Reactor Inspection Findings for At-Power Situations" and determined the finding to be of very low safety significance (Green) because the finding did not represent an actual open pathway in the physical integrity of reactor containment because the RCIC turbine exhaust line vacuum breaker inboard PCIV was available to be closed.
- This finding has a cross-cutting aspect of Problem Identification and Resolution because Exelon did not take appropriate corrective actions to address safety issues and adverse trends in a timely manner, commensurate with the safety significance and complexity, in that, a previously identified deficiency, which disabled a primary containment isolation valve, was not corrected.
- This resulted in disabling an additional primary containment isolation valve. (P.1(d))
- Enforcement.
- 10CFR50, Appendix B, Criterion XVI, "Corrective Action," requires, in part, that measures shall be established to assure that conditions adverse to quality are promptly identified and corrected.
- Contrary to the above, between August 3, 2006 and June 4, 2008, Exelon did not correct a condition adverse to quality associated with safety-related motor operated valve motor control center auxiliary contact switches that was identified by the failure of Unit 1 CS Loop A test bypass PCIV (HV-052-1F015A) to close on August 3, 2006.
- Because the condition adverse to quality was not corrected, the Unit 2 RCIC turbine exhaust line vacuum breaker outboard PCIV (HV-049-2F080)
did not close on June 4, 2008, due to binding of the auxiliary contact switch in its motor starter circuitry.
- Because the finding is of very low safety significance and has been entered into Exelon's CAP as
- IR 781939, this violation is being treated as a Green NCV, consistent with Section
- VI.A.1 of the NRC Enforcement policy.
- This inspector-identified Enclosure non-cited violation was entered into Exelon's CAP as
- IR 781939. (NCV
- 05000352, 353/2008003-01, Failure to Correct Adverse Condition Associated with Motor Operated Valves.)
- 4OA3 Event Follow-Up (71153 - 2 samples)
.1 Plant Event Review a. Inspection Scope
- For the two plant events listed below, the inspectors observed plant parameters and, as applicable, reviewed personnel performance and evaluated performance of mitigating systems.
- The inspectors communicated the plant events to appropriate regional personnel and compared the event details with criteria contained in
- IMC 0309, "Reactive Inspection Decision Basis for Reactors," for consideration of additional reactive inspection activities.
- The inspectors reviewed Exelon's follow-up actions related to the events to assure that appropriate corrective actions were implemented commensurate with their safety significance. *
- IR 766331, Unit 2 A Suppression Pool Cooling Return Valve (HV-051-2F024A) Discovered to Have a Stem-Disc Separation; and * Unit 2 Turbine Building Condenser Bay Flooding due to Failure of a Circulating Water Anode on May 22, 2008. b. Findings
- No findings of significance were identified.
.2 (Closed)
- LER 05000352/02008-001: Source Range Monitor Inoperable While Control Rod Moved.
- On March 16, 2008, during the Unit 1 refueling outage, a control rod was withdrawn with the source range monitor in the affected core quadrant inoperable which is contrary to TS 3.9.2, Refueling Operations - Instrumentation.
- This issue was identified by an Instrumentation and Controls technician performing maintenance activities in the auxiliary instrument room.
- The root cause of the event was the control room supervisor and reactor operator failing to ensure the "C" source range monitor was not bypassed prior to declaring it operable.
- The source range monitor was restored to operable and the control rod was inserted.
- The event is documented in Exelon's corrective action program as
- IR 750227. The enforcement aspects of this issue are discussed in Section 4OA7.
- This LER is closed. .3 (Closed)
- LER 05000352/02008-002: Unit 1 Trip Due to Actuation of Power Load Unbalance.
- On March 22, 2008, Unit 1 automatically scrammed due to a main turbine trip during power escalation following refueling outage with the unit at 87 percent power.
- The root cause of the scram was the generator protection relay logic failure caused by an inadequately seated tap screw on the "B" phase of the Accidental Energization (350-
- G101) relay.
- The failure caused a false input into the power load unbalance circuit of the electro-hydraulic control system that resulted in a turbine trip and reactor scram.
- Enclosure
- Exelon's investigation could not determine when the tap screw was inadequately seated.
- The inspectors determined that there was no performance deficiency associated with this event since the post-maintenance testing performed following the relay's replacement during the Spring 2008 refueling outage was consistent with industry practices.
- As a result of this event, the main generator relay testing procedures will be revised to include
a circuit loop signal verification test to ensure reliability of newly installed equipment.
- The event is documented in Exelon's corrective action program as
- IR 750227.
- This LER is closed. .4 (Closed) Licensee Event Report (LER) 05000353/02008-003: Condition Prohibited By Technical Specifications Due To Inoperable Radiation Monitor.
- On April 15, 2008, during a review of
- ST-2-013-600-2, "Reactor Enclosure Cooling Water (RECW) Radiation Monitor Functional Test," the Surveillance Test Coordinator identified the "as-left" value of the
- HI-HI setpoint was above the required limit of 1050 counts per minute (CPM).
- The "as-found" value for the
- HI-HI setpoint was recorded as 1100 CPM as indicated on the radiation monitor analog scale.
- During the data review, the technician performing the test on March 24, 2008, did not identify that this value was above the required limit.
- Contrary to TS 3.3.7.1, "Monitoring Instrumentation - Radiation Monitoring Instrumentation," the station did not collect the required grab samples for the inoperable monitor during the effected period.
- The condition was caused by a less-than-adequate self-check by the technician recording the data during the functional surveillance test as well as a less-than-adequate supervisory review.
- Corrective actions included a workgroup stand-down to reinforce the consequences of not applying the barriers that are designed for error prevention and the addition of independent reviews of surveillance test data.
- The event was documented in Exelon's corrective action program as
- IR 763510.
- The enforcement aspects of this issue are discussed in section 4OA7.
- This LER is closed.
- 4OA6 Meetings, Including Exit
- Exit Meeting Summary
- On July 7, 2008, the resident inspectors presented the inspection results to
- Mr. C. Mudrick and other members of his staff.
- The inspectors confirmed that proprietary information was not included in the inspection report.
- 4OA7 Licensee-Identified Violations
- The following violations of very low safety significance (Green) were identified by Exelon and are violations of NRC requirements which met the criteria of Section VI of the NRC Enforcement Policy,
- NUREG-1600, for disposition as NCVs. * Technical Specification 3.3.7.1, "Monitoring Instrumentation - Radiation Monitoring Instrumentation," requires one operable reactor enclosure cooling water (RECW) system radiation monitor channel "at all times."
- Action 72 of Table 3.3.7.1-1 requires obtaining a grab sample every 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> with the required monitor inoperable.
- Contrary to TS 3.3.7.1, the required RECW Radiation Monitor was inoperable in Unit 2 from March 24, 2008 until April 15, 2008 without obtaining a grab sample every 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />.
- The event is documented in Exelon's CAP as
- IR 763510.
- The finding was of very low safety significance Enclosure because it does not represent an open pathway in the physical integrity of reactor containment. * Technical Specification 3.9.2, "Refueling Operations - Instrumentation," requires an operable source range monitor (SRM) in the quadrant where core alterations are being performed when in Operational Condition 5 (OPCON 5).
- If this requirement is not satisfied, the operators are required to immediately suspend all operations involving core alterations and insert all insertable control rods. Contrary to TS 3.9.2, on March 16, 2008, with Unit 1 in OPCON 5, a control rod was withdrawn with the required source range monitor in the affected core quadrant inoperable.
- The event is documented in Exelon's CAP as
- IR 750227. The finding is of very low safety significance because the finding did not require quantitative assessment per Checklist 7 of Attachment 1 to
- IMC 0609, Appendix G, "Shutdown Operations Significance Determination Process."
