SUBJECT: MCGUIRE NUCLEAR STATION - NRC INTEGRATED INSPECTION REPORT 05000369/2010004, 05000370/2010004, EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS INSPECTION REPORT 05000369/2010501 AND 05000370/2010501, AND INDEPENDENT SPENT FUEL STORAGE INSTALLATION CANISTER WELDING DEMONSTRATION INSPECTION REPORT 07200038/2010001

Dear Mr. Repko:

On September 30, 2010, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed an inspection at your McGuire Nuclear Station Units 1 and 2. The enclosed inspection report documents the inspection results, which were discussed on September 30, 2010, with you and other members of your staff. The inspection examined activities conducted under your licenses as they relate to safety and compliance with the Commission's rules and regulations and with the conditions of your licenses. The inspectors reviewed selected procedures and records, observed activities, and interviewed personnel. The report documents one NRC-identified finding of very low safety significance (Green) which was determined to involve a violation of NRC requirements and two Severity Level IV violations. However, because of the very low safety significance and categorization at Severity Level IV and because they were entered into your corrective action program, the NRC is treating these violations as non-cited violations (NCVs) consistent with Section 2.3.2 of the NRC's Enforcement Policy. If you contest any of these NCVs, you should provide a written 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, D.C. 20555-0001; with copies to the Regional Administrator, Region II; the Director, Office of Enforcement, United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, D.C. 20555-0001; and the NRC Resident Inspector at McGuire. In addition, if you disagree with the characterization of any finding in this report, you should provide a response within 30 days of the date of this inspection report, with the basis for your disagreement, to the Regional Administrator, Region II, and the NRC Resident Inspector at McGuire.

SUMMARY OF FINDINGS

IR 05000369/2010004, IR 05000370/2010004, IR 05000369/2010501, IR 05000370/2010501, IR 07200038/2010001; 7/1/2010 - 9/30/2010; McGuire Nuclear Station, Equipment Alignment, Evaluations of Changes, Tests, or Experiments and Permanent Plant Modifications, and Follow-up of Events.

The report covered a three month period of inspection by two resident inspectors and eight region based inspectors. One Green and two Severity Level (SL)-IV non-cited violations (NCVs) were 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 cross-cutting aspect was determined using IMC 0310, "Components Within The Cross-Cutting Areas." The NRC's program for overseeing the safe operation of commercial nuclear power reactors is described in NUREG-1649, "Reactor Oversight Process."

Cornerstone: Initiating Events

  • Green: An NRC-identified Green NCV of 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion XVI, Corrective Action, was identified for the licensee's failure to determine the cause of a significant condition adverse to quality involving both trains of Control Room Area Chilled Water System (CRACWS) being out of service at the same time. This resulted in insufficient corrective action to preclude repetition. The licensee reopened the root cause investigation to determine the cause and was resolving the high cycle fatigue issue on the hot gas bypass line. The performance deficiency was more than minor because, if left uncorrected, it had the potential to lead to a more significant safety concern in that failing to identify corrective actions to preclude repetition could result in the loss of safety function of more risk-significant equipment such as emergency diesel generators. This finding was determined to be of very low safety significance (Green) because it did not contribute to both the likelihood of a reactor trip and the likelihood that mitigation equipment or functions would not be available. This finding was associated with the cross-cutting aspect of supervisory and management oversight in the Work Practices component of the Human Performance area because management's establishment of the scope and reviews of the completed root cause evaluation failed to provide adequate oversight to ensure the cause of a significant condition adverse to quality was determined and corrective actions were taken to preclude repetition. H.4(c) (Section 4OA3)

Cornerstone: Mitigating Systems

  • SL IV: An NRC-identified SL-IV NCV was identified when the licensee did not update the Updated Final Safety Analysis Report (UFSAR) for a modification to the emergency diesel generator air start system (VG) on both units. This modification installed cross-connect piping between the two VG receivers on each emergency diesel generator to allow maintaining receiver pressure when an air compressor was out of service. Licensee corrective actions include updating the UFSAR and Design Basis Documents and processing a Technical Specification (TS) change to make the TS applicable to the cross-connected configuration. This violation is in the licensee's corrective action program as PIPs M-10-5299 and M-10-5504.

This performance deficiency was considered as traditional enforcement because not having an updated UFSAR hinders the licensee's ability to perform adequate 10 CFR 50.59 evaluations and can impact the NRC's ability to perform its regulatory function such as license amendment reviews and inspections. This violation was determined to be a SL-IV violation using Section 6.1 of the NRC's Enforcement Policy because the inaccurate information was not used to make an unacceptable change to the facility. Cross-cutting aspects are not assigned to traditional enforcement violations. (Section 1R04)

  • SL IV: A NRC-identified SL-IV NCV of 10 CFR 50.71(e) was identified when the licensee failed to update the UFSAR following a modification that installed new protective functions for the emergency diesel generators (EDGs). This violation is in the licensee's corrective action program as PIP M-10-05718 This performance deficiency was considered as traditional enforcement because not having an updated UFSAR hinders the licensee's ability to perform adequate 10 CFR 50.59 evaluations and can impact the NRC's ability to perform its regulatory function such as license amendment reviews and inspections. This violation was determined to be a SL-IV violation using Section 6.1 of the NRC's Enforcement Policy because the inaccurate information was not used to make an unacceptable change to the facility. Cross-cutting aspects are not assigned to traditional enforcement violations. (Section 1R17)

REPORT DETAILS

REACTOR SAFETY

Cornerstones: Initiating Events, Mitigating Systems, Barrier Integrity 1R01 Adverse Weather Protection

a. Inspection Scope

Seasonal Extreme Weather Condition: The inspectors reviewed the effectiveness of the licensee's hot weather protection program pertaining to the hot weather conditions experienced during the period from July 1 to September 30, 2010. This included field walkdowns to assess the equipment that might be susceptible to hot weather conditions including the Unit 1 and 2 EDG rooms. The inspectors discussed specific hot weather preparation measures with the responsible system engineer and the operations work planning manager to determine the scope of the preparations and to determine the effectiveness during hot weather periods. The inspectors also reviewed control room alarms and annunciators during this period to see how these may pertain to hot weather conditions. The inspectors attended the morning Site Direction Meeting where the station preparations for hot weather conditions were discussed. Documents reviewed are listed in the Attachment.

Impending Adverse Weather Condition: On July 12, 2010, a tornado warning and severe thunderstorm warning were experienced on site. The inspectors reviewed the plant preparations for the conditions to determine whether procedural requirements, compensatory actions, and operator actions and staffing were sufficient to protect risk significant systems. The inspectors toured the plant site and assessed the readiness of risk significant systems. The inspectors reviewed licensee actions associated with the preparation activities to determine whether these actions were sufficient to prevent unnecessary weather related Notices of Enforcement Discretion (NOEDs), and that risks associated with the weather related actions were properly managed to limit risk. Documents reviewed are listed in the Attachment.

b. Findings

No findings were identified.

1R04 Equipment Alignment

a. Inspection Scope

Partial Walkdown: The inspectors performed a partial walkdown of the following six systems to assess the operability of redundant or diverse trains and components when safety equipment was inoperable. The inspectors focused on discrepancies that could impact the function of the system, and, therefore, potentially increase risk. The inspectors reviewed applicable operating procedures, walked down control systems components, and determined whether selected breakers, valves, and support equipment were in the correct position to support system operation. Documents reviewed are listed in the Attachment.

  • 1B EDG with 1A EDG out of service on July 27
  • 1B Safety Injection pump while 1A Safety Injection pump out of service for motor cooler heat exchanger cleaning and bearing oil cooler inspection on August 25
  • 2B EDG during "A" Train RN Supply and Return Header Flush on September 20 Complete Walkdown: The inspectors conducted a detailed review of the 125 VDC/120 VAC Vital Instrument and Control Power System. To determine the correct system alignment, the inspectors reviewed the procedures, drawings, and the UFSAR. Items reviewed during the inspection included: (1) valves are correctly positioned, do not exhibit leakage, and are locked as required; (2) electrical power is available, (3) system components are correctly labeled, cooled lubricated, ventilated, etc.; (4) hanger and supports are correctly installed and functional; (5) essential system support systems are functional; (6) system performance is not hindered by debris; and (7) tagging clearances are appropriate. To determine the effect of outstanding design issues on the operability of the systems the inspectors reviewed the operator workaround list, the temporary modification list, system health reports, and other outstanding items tracked by the engineering department. In addition, the inspectors reviewed outstanding maintenance work requests/work orders and deficiencies that could affect the ability of the system to perform its function. Documents reviewed are listed in the Attachment.

b. Findings

Introduction:

An NRC-identified SL-IV NCV was identified when the licensee did not update the UFSAR for a modification to the VG system on both units. This modification installed cross-connect piping between the two VG receivers on each emergency diesel generator to allow maintaining receiver pressure when an air compressor was out of service.

Description:

Following a plant walkdown of the emergency diesel generators, the inspectors reviewed the UFSAR and noted that the VG system was described as two independent sub-systems consisting of an air compressor, a receiver, and connecting piping. The inspectors found that the UFSAR description did not describe a cross-connection feature of the two air start receivers. The licensee found that a modification to add the cross-connection lines and valves was implemented in 1994; however, the updated UFSAR page and Design Basis Document changes from the modification package were never implemented. This information was important because it identified a method by which two independent sub-systems of the VG system could be cross-connected which would make them no longer independent. Additionally, the information was important because in the conversion to Improved TS, the licensee implemented a more restrictive plant specific change to Limiting Condition for Operation (LCO) 3.8.3, Condition D, which identified the two sub-systems as independent. This change to TS would likely not have been submitted, or if submitted, would likely not have been accepted by the NRC if the UFSAR had been correctly updated. Licensee corrective actions include updating the UFSAR and Design Basis Documents, and processing a TS change to make the TS applicable to the cross-connected configuration.

Analysis:

The failure to update the UFSAR as required by 10 CFR 50.71(e) was a performance deficiency. This performance deficiency was considered as traditional enforcement because not having an updated UFSAR hinders the licensee's ability to perform adequate 10 CFR 50.59 evaluations and can impact the NRC's ability to perform its regulatory function such as license amendment reviews and inspections. This violation was determined to be a SL-IV violation using Section 6.1 of the NRC's Enforcement Policy because the inaccurate information was not used to make an unacceptable change to the facility. Cross-cutting aspects are not assigned to traditional enforcement violations.

Enforcement:

10 CFR 50.71(e) required, in part, that licensees shall update periodically the FSAR originally submitted as part of the application for the operating license to assure that the information included in the report contains the latest information developed. This submittal shall include the effects of all changes made in the facility or procedures as described in the FSAR. Contrary to the above, from September 1, 1994, to September 30, 2010, the licensee had not updated the UFSAR to include the latest information developed in that UFSAR changes for a 1994 modification to the emergency diesel generator air start system were not implemented. This violation is in the licensee's corrective action program as PIPs M-10-5299 and M-10-5504, and is being treated as an NCV, consistent with Section 2.3.2 of the Enforcement Policy: NCV 05000369,370/2010004-01, Failure to Update the UFSAR for a Modification to the VG System.

1R05 Fire Protection

a. Inspection Scope

Fire Protection Walkdowns: The inspectors walked down accessible portions of the following six plant areas to determine if they were consistent with the UFSAR and the fire protection program for defense in depth features. The features assessed included the licensee's control of transient combustible material and ignition sources, fire detection and suppression capabilities, firefighting equipment, and passive fire features such as fire barriers. The inspectors also reviewed the licensee's compensatory measures for fire deficiencies to determine if they were commensurate with the significance of the deficiency. The inspectors reviewed the fire plans for the areas selected to determine if it was consistent with the fire protection program and presented an adequate fire fighting strategy. Documents reviewed are listed in the Attachment.

  • 1A EDG room (Fire Area 5)
  • 1B EDG room (Fire Area 6)
  • 1ETA Switchgear Room (Fire Area 17)
  • HVAC Room for 1ETA Switchgear Room (Fire Area 17A)
  • 2ETA Switchgear Room (Fire Area 18)
  • HVAC Room for 2ETA Switchgear Room (Fire Area 18A)

b. Findings

No findings were identified.

1R11 Licensed Operator Requalification Program

a. Inspection Scope

On July 21 and 28, 2010, the inspectors observed operators in the plant's simulator during licensed operator requalification training for a reactor coolant leak, steam generator tube rupture, dropped rod and steam break outside containment, to determine the effectiveness of licensed operator requalification training required by 10 CFR 55.59 and the adequacy of operator performance. The inspectors focused on clarity and formality of communication, use of procedures, alarm response, control board manipulations, group dynamics and supervisory oversight. The inspectors observed the post-exercise critique to determine whether the licensee identified deficiencies and discrepancies that occurred during the simulator training. Documents reviewed are listed in the Attachment.

b. Findings

No findings were identified.

1R12 Maintenance Effectiveness

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors reviewed the two activities listed below for items such as: (1) appropriate work practices; (2) identifying and addressing common cause failures; (3) scoping in accordance with 10 CFR 50.65(b) of the Maintenance Rule; (4) characterizing reliability issues for performance; (5) charging unavailability for performance; (6) balancing reliability and unavailability; (7) trending key parameters for condition monitoring; (8)classification and reclassification in accordance with 10 CFR 50.65(a)(1) or (a)(2); and (9) appropriateness of performance criteria for Structures, Systems, and Components (SSCs)/functions classified as (a)(2) and/or appropriateness and adequacy of goals and corrective actions for SSCs/functions classified as (a)(1). For each item selected, the inspectors performed a detailed review of the problem history and surrounding circumstances, evaluated the extent of condition reviews as required, and reviewed the generic implications of the equipment and/or work practice problem. The inspectors also reviewed the corrective action document M-10-5299 to determine whether the licensee identified and implemented appropriate corrective actions. Documents reviewed are listed in the Attachment.

  • Leaks in CRACWS refrigerant piping
  • Installation of new bank capacitors (C1) and choke (L1) in Vital Inverter 1EVID

b. Findings

No findings were identified.

1R13 Maintenance Risk Assessments and Emergent Work Control

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors reviewed the licensee's risk assessments and the risk management actions used to manage risk for the plant configurations associated with the six activities listed below. The inspectors assessed whether the licensee performed adequate risk assessments, and implemented appropriate risk management actions when required by 10 CFR 50.65(a)(4). For emergent work, the inspectors verified that any increase in risk was promptly assessed, that appropriate risk management actions were promptly implemented, and that work activities did not place the plant in unacceptable configurations. Documents reviewed are listed in the Attachment.

  • 2B Diesel generator maintenance overlap with 2B Containment Spray pump and 2B Charging pump maintenance on August 31
  • Implementation of engineering change to replace 1EVID Vital Inverter C1 bank capacitors and L1 choke overlapped with planned 'H' Diesel Instrument Air compressor planned maintenance on September 1
  • A planned ORANGE risk condition for 2A Nuclear Service Water system out of service for planned maintenance activities on September 7
  • Work schedule changes to delay switchyard work due to an extension of maintenance work on shared transformer SATA to prevent entry into Orange risk on September 14
  • Work schedule changes due to stopping of the A Train nuclear service water flush due to 2A strainer delta pressure transmitter problems on September 16-18
  • Work schedule changes again due to stopping of the A Train nuclear service water flush due to 2A strainer delta pressure transmitter problems on September 22-23

b. Findings

No findings were identified.

1R15 Operability Evaluations

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors reviewed the six technical evaluations listed below to determine whether Technical Specification operability was properly justified and the subject component or system remained available such that no unrecognized increase in risk occurred. The inspectors reviewed any compensatory measures taken for degraded SSCs to determine whether the measures were in-place and adequately compensated for the degradation. For the degraded SSCs, or those credited as part of compensatory measures, the inspectors reviewed the UFSAR to determine whether the measures resulted in changes to the licensing basis functions, as described in the UFSAR, and whether a license amendment was required per 10 CFR 50.59. Documents reviewed are listed in the Attachment.

  • M-10-4339, SSPS Power Supply voltage recorded as out of specification
  • M-10-1616, 1ND-2AC (RHR suction from NC Loop 3) failed to open electrically
  • M-10-4743, 1ND-96 took 120 seconds to fully vent
  • M-10-5489, 2B NI pump oil leak
  • M-10-5203, Rotork Add-on-pack part 21

b. Findings

No findings were identified.

1R17 Evaluations of Changes, Tests, or Experiments and Permanent Plant Modifications

a. Inspection Scope

Triennial Review: The inspectors reviewed selected evaluations to confirm that the licensee had appropriately considered the conditions under which changes to the facility, UFSAR, or procedures may be made, and tests conducted, without prior NRC approval.

The inspectors reviewed the evaluations for seven changes listed in the Attachment and supporting information, such as drawings, calculations, supporting analyses, the UFSAR, and TS, to confirm that the licensee had appropriately concluded that the changes could be accomplished without obtaining a license amendment. The inspectors also reviewed the 17 changes listed in the Attachment for which the licensee had determined that evaluations were not required to confirm that the licensee's conclusions to "screen out" these changes were correct and consistent with 10 CFR 50.59. The inspectors evaluated engineering design change packages for the following 11 material and design based modifications and the associated attributes to evaluate the modifications for adverse effects on system availability, reliability, and functional capability.

b. Findings

Introduction:

A NRC-identified SL-IV NCV of 10 CFR 50.71(e) was identified when the licensee failed to update the FSAR following a modification that installed new protective functions for the emergency diesel generators (EDGs).

Description:

Engineering Change 76817 replaced the instantaneous overcurrent, generator neutral ground, and reverse power analog protective relays with a digital multifunction relay on each EDG. The digital multifunction relay also added the protective functions of loss of excitation/field protection (40DGT), negative sequence protection (46Q), definite time overcurrent protection (51DGT), and overexcitation protection (24DGT). All of these functions provide tripping protection for the EDGs during testing and normal operation. During emergency operation of the diesel, all of these protective functions are bypassed and alarm locally and in the control room.

The inspectors reviewed the UFSAR description for EDG protective functions and identified that these additional protective functions were not adequately incorporated. The new relay functions provide protection for the EDGs during testing and normal operation from an event on the grid, the generator, or operational issues, which could cause damage to the stator and rotor windings, and prevent the EDGs from fulfilling their safety function. Therefore, these functions have a material impact on safety for the EDGs. The licensee initiated PIP M-10-05718 to describe the new tripping functions of the EDGs in the UFSAR. The inaccurate information in the UFSAR was not used to make an unacceptable change to the facility.

The licensee was committed to Regulatory Guide 1.70, Standard Format and Content of Safety Analysis Reports for Nuclear Power Plants, as an acceptable means to implementing the UFSAR. Section 8.3, Onsite Power Systems, stated in part that those portions that are not related to safety need only be described in sufficient detail to permit an understanding of interactions with the safety related portions. Section 8.3 also stated that tripping devices for onsite power systems should be described in the UFSAR. Although these additional protective tripping functions were non-safety, it was necessary to describe the interactions of the non-safety related tripping functions with the safety-related tripping functions of the EDG.

Analysis:

The failure to update the UFSAR as required by 10 CFR 50.71(e) was a performance deficiency. This performance deficiency was considered as traditional enforcement because not having an updated UFSAR hinders the licensee's ability to perform adequate 10 CFR 50.59 evaluations and can impact the NRC's ability to perform its regulatory function such as license amendment reviews and inspections. This violation was determined to be a SL-IV violation using Section 6.1 of the NRC's Enforcement Policy because the inaccurate information was not used to make an unacceptable change to the facility. Cross-cutting aspects are not assigned to traditional enforcement violations.

Enforcement:

10 CFR 50.71(e) required that licensees shall periodically update the FSAR, originally submitted as part of the application for the operating license, to assure that the information included in the report contains the latest information developed. This submittal shall include the effects of all changes made in the facility or procedures as described in the FSAR. Contrary to the above, from December 2007 to September 30, 2010, the licensee failed to update the UFSAR to assure that the information included in the report contained the latest information developed in that new protective tripping functions for the EDGs was not included. The failure to update the UFSAR as required by 10 CFR 50.71(e) is characterized as a Severity Level IV violation. This violation is in the licensee's corrective action program as PIP M-10-05718 and is being treated as an NCV consistent with Section 2.3.2 of the Enforcement Policy: NCV 05000369,370/2010004-02, Failure to Update the UFSAR for New EDG Tripping Functions.

4OA2 Problem Identification and Resolution

a. Inspection Scope

Routine Review: As required by Inspection Procedure 71152, "Identification and Resolution of Problems," and in order to help identify repetitive equipment failures or specific human performance issues for follow-up, the inspectors performed screening of items entered into the licensee's corrective action program. This was accomplished by reviewing copies of condition reports, attending some daily screening meetings, and accessing the licensee's computerized database. Documents reviewed are listed in the Attachment. Selected Issue Follow-Up Inspection: The inspectors selected PIPs M-10-0185, M-09-0966 and M-09-7675 associated with the B Train CRACWS chiller refrigerant leak for detailed review. The inspectors reviewed these documents to determine whether the licensee identified the full extent of the issue, performed an appropriate evaluation, and specified and prioritized appropriate corrective actions. The inspectors evaluated the licensee documents against the requirements of the licensee's corrective action program and implementing procedures, and 10 CFR 50, Appendix B. Documents reviewed are listed in the Attachment.

b. Findings and Observations

The inspectors determined that the licensee had mixed results in disposition of the B Train CRACWS chiller refrigerant leak problems. The inspectors determined that the licensee performed a reasonable apparent cause evaluation and identified appropriate corrective actions for the two leaks that were documented in PIPs M-09-0966 and M-09-7675. The inspectors noted that one of the corrective actions identified in PIP M-09-7675 was to replace the B Train CRACWS hot gas bypass refrigerant piping, even though the piping leak had already been weld repaired. The apparent cause for both 2009 PIPs identified vibration as a likely cause for the leaks. Consequently, piping replacement was an appropriate corrective action for the result of vibration (high cycle fatigue cracks). This corrective action had not been completed prior to the removal of the A Train CRACWS for scheduled annual preventative maintenance in January 2010.

The inspectors concluded that the licensee's decision to remove the A Train CRACWS chiller from service for annual preventive maintenance (PM) prior to completing planned corrective actions for the B Train CRACWS chiller contributed to the resulting LCO 3.0.3 entry when the B Train CRACWS chiller subsequently experienced a refrigerant leak.

The root cause evaluation for PIP M-10-0185 was thorough in determining why the B Train CRACWS chiller leak recurred and appropriate corrective actions were identified. However, the inspectors determined that the evaluation was narrowly focused on the repetitive nature of the B Train CRACWS chiller leaks. The inspectors found that the cause evaluation did not identify why the licensee allowed themselves to get into the LCO 3.0.3 power reduction situation. Consequently, no corrective actions to preclude repetition were identified. This aspect is further discussed in Section 4OA3.

a. Inspection Scope

As documented in NRC Inspection Report 50000369,370/2010002, NOED 10-2-001 was issued on January 20, 2010. The inspectors reviewed the LER and associated licensee PIP M-10-0185 which included the root cause investigation and identified corrective actions. Documents reviewed are listed in the Attachment.

b. Findings

Introduction:

An NRC-identified Green NCV of 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion XVI, Corrective Action, was identified for the licensee's failure to determine the cause of a significant condition adverse to quality involving both trains of CRACWS being out of service at the same time. This resulted in insufficient corrective action to preclude repetition.

Description:

On March 11, 2010, the licensee reported that they reduced power on both units as required by TS 3.0.3 when the B Train CRACWS chiller was found to have a refrigerant leak while the A Train CRACWS chiller was out of service for maintenance (PIP M-10-0185, categorized as Level 1). The licensee performed a root cause evaluation but did not identify the cause(s) for why the licensee had removed the A Train CRACWS chiller from service for maintenance when the B Train CRACWS chiller had a known reliability problem for which corrective actions had not been completed. The inspectors found that the licensee adequately determined that the B Train CRACWS chiller refrigerant leak was due to high cycle fatigue of the hot gas bypass (HGBP) piping. A leak in the B Train CRACWS chiller HGBP line previously occurred on February 22, 2009, (PIP M-09-0966) and on December 29, 2009, (PIP M-09-7675). In both cases, a weld repair on the B Train CRACWS chiller HGBP line was accomplished to repair the leak and the chiller was declared operable. Both of the apparent cause evaluations for the 2009 leaks identified vibration as one of the potential causes. Engineering experience indicated that vibration was a primary cause for high cycle fatigue failures. Consequently, one of the corrective actions for the December 2009 leak was to replace the HGBP piping. The licensee decided to remove the A Train CRACWS chiller from service on January 12, 2010, for its annual scheduled PM, although the corrective action to replace the HGBP piping had not been implemented. The root cause evaluation did not address the decision to proceed with the annual PM on the A Train CRACWS chiller. Consequently, the cause of the LCO 3.0.3 condition reported in the LER was not determined; therefore, associated corrective actions to preclude repetition were not identified in PIP M-10-0185. The inspectors found that the management reviews associated with determining the scope and adequacy of the root cause evaluation failed to identify that the root cause evaluation did not adequately address the cause(s) of both trains of CRACWS being out of service at the same time.

Analysis:

The failure to determine the cause for a significant condition adverse to quality was determined to be a performance deficiency. The performance deficiency was more than minor because, if left uncorrected, it had the potential to lead to a more significant safety concern in that failing to identify corrective actions to preclude repetition could result in the loss of safety function of more risk-significant equipment such as EDGs. This finding was determined to be of very low safety significance (Green) using IMC 0609, Attachment 4, because it did not contribute to both the likelihood of a reactor trip and the likelihood that mitigation equipment or functions would not be available. This finding was associated with the cross-cutting aspect of supervisory and management oversight in the Work Practices component of the Human Performance area because management's establishment of the scope and reviews of the completed root cause evaluation failed to provide adequate oversight to ensure the cause of a significant condition adverse to quality was determined and corrective actions were taken to preclude repetition. H.4(c)

Enforcement:

10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion XVI, required that conditions adverse to quality be promptly identified and corrected. For significant conditions adverse to quality, the measures shall assure that the cause of the condition is determined and corrective actions taken to preclude repetition. Contrary to the above, from March 23, 2010, to September 30, 2010, the licensee's cause determination (root cause analysis) for a significant condition adverse to quality failed to determine why both trains of CRACWS were out of service at the same time in that the licensee's cause analysis did not determine why the A Train CRACWS chiller was taken out of service on January 12, 2010, for preventive maintenance when the reliability of the B Train CRACWS chiller was questionable. Consequently, associated corrective actions to preclude repetition were not identified. This Green violation is in the licensee's corrective action program as PIP M-10-4862, and is being treated as an NCV, consistent with Section 2.3.2 of the Enforcement Policy: NCV 05000369,370/2010004-03, Failure to Determine the Cause and Take Corrective Action to Preclude Repetition for CRACWS.

4OA5 Other Activities

.1 Quarterly Resident Inspector Observations of Security Personnel and Activities:

During the inspection period, the inspectors conducted observations of security force personnel and activities to ensure that the activities were consistent with licensee security procedures and regulatory requirements relating to nuclear plant security. These observations took place during both normal and off-normal plant working hours. These quarterly resident inspector observations of security force personnel and activities did not constitute any additional inspection samples. Rather, they were considered an integral part of the inspectors' normal plant status review and inspection activities.

.2 Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation (ISFSI) Canister Welding Demonstration

a. Inspection Scope

On July 14 and 15, 2010, the licensee demonstrated its ability to weld and conduct non-destructive examination (NDE) on a mockup of a NAC MAGNASTOR canister (CoC 72-1031) in preparation to begin operations of loading and storing its spent fuel on the ISFSI. The inspection was to confirm the adequacy of procedures, personnel training/qualification, and the equipment to be used during normal ISFSI operations. For the multi-purpose canister welding operations, the inspectors observed welding and NDE of the inner top cover and vent and siphon port covers. A majority of the welding was done with the Automatic Welding System using the gas-shielded tungsten arc welding (GTAW) process. The use of manual GTAW welding was also demonstrated for the welding of the vent and siphon port covers. The application of visual examination and dye penetrant testing NDE methods on the welds was inspected. A comparison of the welding procedures and NDE procedures to their respective work practices was made. In addition, welding procedure documentation, welder performance qualification, and NDE procedures and NDE personnel qualifications were verified against their respective Code and procedural requirements.

b. Findings

No findings were identified.

4OA6 Meetings, Including Exit

On September 30, 2010, the resident inspectors presented the inspection results to Mr. Regis T. Repko and other members of his staff. The inspectors confirmed that proprietary information was not provided or examined during the inspection.
