SUMMARY OF FINDINGS IR 05000336/2012003, 05000423/2012003; 04/01/2012-06/30/2012; Millstone Power Station Units 1 and 2; Operability Determinations and Functionality Assessments.
This report covered a three-month period of inspection by resident inspectors and announced inspections performed by regional inspectors. Inspectors identified one finding of very low safety significance (Green). The significance of most findings is indicated by their color (Green, White, Yellow, Red) using Inspection Manual Chapter (IMC) 0609, "Significance Determination Process" (SDP). The cross-cutting aspects for the findings were determined using IMC 0310, "Components Within Cross-Cutting Areas." Findings for which the SDP does not apply may be Green, or be assigned a severity level after NRC management review. The NRC's program for overseeing the safe operation of commercial nuclear power reactors is described in NUREG-1649, "Reactor Oversight Process," Revision 4, dated December 2006.
Cornerstone: Mitigating Systems
- Green.
An NRC identified finding of very low safety significance (Green) was identified for Dominion's failure to adequately assess the operability of the Unit 3 Feedwater isolation valves, 3FWS*CTV41A, B, C and D in accordance with OP-AA-102-1001,
"Development of Technical Guidance Basis to Support Operability Determinations," and C OP 200.18, "Time Critical Operator Action Validation and Verification." Specifically, Dominion did not properly validate or credit manual operator actions to isolate the main feedwater lines during a feedline break inside containment as a compensatory measure for degraded hydraulic valve actuators. Dominion entered this issue into their corrective action program (CAP) as condition report number 478020, and conducted a reanalysis of the operability determination. The finding is more than minor because it is similar to NRC Inspection Manual Chapter (IMC) 0612, Appendix E, "Examples of Minor Issues," Example 3.k; in that the inadequate assessment of operability resulted in a condition where there was a reasonable doubt on the operability of the feedwater isolation function and the feedwater isolation valves. This issue is associated with the Equipment Control attribute of the Mitigating Systems cornerstone and affected the cornerstone objective to ensure the availability, reliability and capability of systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences. Specifically, Dominion did not explicitly take credit for manual operator actions to trip the main feedwater pumps as a compensatory measure for the degraded capability of the 3FWS*CTV41 feedwater isolation valves to perform their safety function during a feedline break event inside containment. The inspectors determined this finding was not a design qualification deficiency resulting in a loss of functionality or operability, did not represent an actual loss of safety function of a system or train of equipment, and was not potentially risk-significant due to a seismic, fire, flooding, or severe weather initiating event. Therefore, the finding is considered to be of very low safety significance.
The inspectors did not assign a cross cutting aspect to this finding because the finding was not reflective of current performance. Operability determination OD000237 was completed in 2009 and OP-AA-102-1001 does not require periodic reassessment of active operability determinations. (Section 1R15)
Other Findings
A violation of very low safety significance that was identified by Dominion was reviewed by the inspectors. Corrective actions taken or planned by Dominion have been entered into Dominion's corrective action program. This violation and corrective action tracking number are listed in Section 4OA7 of this report.

The inspectors evaluated the technical adequacy of the operability determinations to assess whether TS operability was properly justified and the subject component or system remained available such that no unrecognized increase in risk occurred. The inspectors compared the operability and design criteria in the appropriate sections of the TS and UFSAR to Dominion's evaluations to determine whether the components or systems were operable. Where compensatory measures were required to maintain operability, the inspectors determined whether the measures in place would function as intended and were properly controlled by Dominion. The inspectors determined, where appropriate, compliance with bounding limitations associated with the evaluations.
13 Enclosure
b. Findings
Introduction.
The inspectors identified a Green finding for Dominion's failure to adequately assess the operability of the Unit 3 feedwater isolation valve (3FWS*CTV41A, B, C and D) hydraulic actuators to perform their safety function to isolate main feedwater during a feedwater line break (FLB) inside containment.
Specifically, OD000237 incorrectly concluded that the feedwater isolation (FWI) function of these valves was degraded but operable because the main steam line break (MSLB)event analysis bounded the FLB inside containment. This conclusion was not correct because under certain conditions the MSLB was not the most limiting accident scenario due to the inadequate closing capability of the hydraulic actuators.
Description.
On June 27, 2007, Dominion identified that the Unit 3 feedwater isolation valve hydraulic actuators for 3FWS*CTV41A, B, C and D were not adequately sized to fully close against the expected differential pressure during a large FLB inside containment (1800 psid). Dominion determined (in CR-7-07160 and OD MP3-014-07)the valves would not go fully closed until after the feedwater pumps had tripped and therefore, the FWI function was operable with a degraded margin. A subsequent review (in OD000237 completed in 2009) reaffirmed this conclusion. The justification for continued operability was based on the conclusion that the FLB event remained bounded by the MSLB event and that operator actions could be relied upon to manually trip the motor-driven main feedwater pump in time to reduce the differential pressure across the feedwater isolation valve, allowing the valve to go fully closed before containment limits were exceeded.
On May 10, 2012, the inspectors reviewed this active OD and determined that the justification for continued operations did not meet the requirements of OP-AA-102-1001,
"Development of Technical Guidance Basis to Support Operability Determinations," Revision 6. Specifically, Dominion had concluded that the FWI function was operable because the MSLB accident bounded the FLB accident, the main steam break event had a greater energy release rate, and no further analysis was necessary to demonstrate safety. This analysis did not fully consider the impact of continued high temperature feedwater flow from full power conditions into containment and the subsequent challenge to the electrical equipment qualification temperature limits inside containment.
Additionally, the OD had concluded that operators could be relied upon to trip the main feedwater pump to terminate feedwater flow into containment without addressing the nine requirements in MP3-SFRM, "Safety Function Requirements Manual" or the requirements in C OP 200.18, "Time Critical Operator Actions Validation and Verification." These requirements are similar to the considerations in NRC Information Notice 97-078 which discuss a systematic assessment of the specific actions as well as a systematic validation of the time sequence. OD000237, Revision 1 did not explicitly take credit for a time credited operator action as a compensatory measure for the degraded SSC, but implied that operator action would be required to manually stop the main feedwater pump for this event. A time-credited operator manual action cannot be used to replace an automatic action where the SSC is in a degraded condition until this analysis has been completed satisfactorily.
Analysis.
The inspectors determined that the failure to adequately evaluate the operability of the FWI function in an active OD as required by OP-AA-102-1001 was a performance deficiency that was reasonably within Dominion's ability to foresee and 14 Enclosure correct. Traditional enforcement does not apply because the issue did not have any actual safety consequences or potential for impacting the NRC's regulatory function, and was not the result of any willful violation of NRC requirements.
The inspectors determined that the issue was more than minor because it is similar to example 3.k of IMC 0612 Appendix E, "Examples of Minor Issues." Specifically, the inadequate assessment of operability resulted in a condition where there is a reasonable doubt on the operability of the FWI function and the feedwater isolation valves. In addition, this degraded condition affects the equipment control attribute of the mitigating systems cornerstone to ensure the availability, reliability and capability of systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences. This issue challenges containment integrity and the environmental qualification of safety related equipment inside containment. The inspectors evaluated the finding using Phase 1, "Initial Screening and Characterization" worksheet in Attachment 4 to IMC 0609, "Significance Determination Process." The inspectors determined this finding was not a design qualification deficiency resulting in a loss of functionality or operability, did not represent an actual loss of safety function of a system or train of equipment, and was not potentially risk-significant due to a seismic, fire, flooding, or severe weather initiating event. Therefore, inspectors determined the finding to be of very low safety significance (Green). The finding does not have a cross cutting aspect assigned because it did not reflect current performance. There is no explicit programmatic requirement for Dominion to periodically review operability determinations.
Enforcement.
This finding does not involve enforcement action because no regulatory requirement violation was identified. Dominion entered this issue into their corrective action program (CR478020) and commenced an engineering technical evaluation (ETE-CME-2012-1013) to adequately justify continued operability. Because this finding does not involve a violation and has very low safety significance, it is it is identified as a finding.

b. Findings
No findings were identified. Cornerstone: Emergency Preparedness 1EP4 Emergency Action Level and Emergency Plan Changes ( 71114.04 - 1 sample)
a. Inspection Scope
The Nuclear Security and Incident Response headquarters staff performed an in-office review of the latest revisions of various Emergency Plan Implementing Procedures and of the Emergency Plan located under ADAMS accession numbers ML12068A262 and ML12125A154 as listed in the Attachment. Dominion determined that in accordance with 10 CFR 50.54(q), the changes made in the revisions resulted in no reduction in the effectiveness of the Plan, and that the revised Plan continued to meet the requirements of 10 CFR 50.47(b) and Appendix E to 10 CFR Part 50. The NRC review was not documented in a safety evaluation report and does not constitute approval of licensee-generated changes; therefore, this revision is subject to future inspection.

b. Findings
No findings were identified.
1EP6 Drill Evaluation
Training Observations
a. Inspection Scope
The inspectors observed a simulator training evolution for Unit 2 licensed operators on April 17 which required emergency plan implementation by an operations crew. Dominion planned for this evolution to be evaluated and included in performance indicator data regarding drill and exercise performance. The inspectors observed event classification and notification activities performed by the crew. The inspectors also attended the post-evolution critique for the scenario. The focus of the inspectors' activities was to note any weaknesses and deficiencies in the crew's performance and ensure that Dominion evaluators noted the same issues and entered them into their CAP.
b. Findings
No findings were identified.
OTHER ACTIVITIES
4OA1 Performance Indicator Verification
Initiating Events Performance Indicators (6 samples)
a. Inspection Scope
The inspectors reviewed Dominion's submittal of the Initiating Events Performance Indicator results for the period of July 1, 2011 through June 30, 2012: Unit 2
- Unplanned Scrams per 7000 Critical Hours
- Unplanned Scrams with Complications
- Unplanned Transients per 7000 Critical Hours Unit 3
- Unplanned Scrams per 7000 Critical Hours
- Unplanned Scrams with Complications
- Unplanned Transients per 7000 Critical Hours To determine the accuracy of the performance indicator data reported during those periods, the inspectors used definitions and guidance contained in NEI Document 99-02,
"Regulatory Assessment Performance Indicator Guideline," Revision 6. The inspectors 18 Enclosure also reviewed Dominion's operator narrative logs, CR, mitigating systems performance index derivation reports, event reports, and NRC integrated inspection reports to validate the accuracy of the submittals.
b. Findings
No findings were identified.
4OA2 Problem Identification and Resolution
.1 Routine Review of Problem Identification and Resolution Activities
a. Inspection Scope
As required by Inspection Procedure 71152, "Problem Identification and Resolution," the inspectors routinely reviewed issues during baseline inspection activities and plant status reviews to verify that Dominion entered issues into the CAP at an appropriate threshold, gave adequate attention to timely corrective actions, and identified and addressed adverse trends. In order to assist with the identification of repetitive equipment failures and specific human performance issues for follow-up, the inspectors performed a daily screening of items entered into the CAP.
b. Findings
No findings were identified.
.2 Semi-Annual Trend Review
a. Inspection Scope
The inspectors performed a semi-annual review of site issues, as required by Inspection Procedure 71152, "Problem Identification and Resolution," to identify trends that might indicate the existence of more significant safety issues. In this review, the inspectors included repetitive or closely-related issues that may have been documented by Dominion outside of the CAP, such as trend reports, performance indicators, major equipment problem lists, system health reports, maintenance rule assessments, and maintenance or CAP backlogs. The inspectors also reviewed individual issues identified during the NRC's daily CR review (Section 4OA2.1). The inspectors reviewed the Dominion quarterly trend report for the first quarter of 2012, conducted under PI-AA-200-2001, Trending, to verify that Dominion's personnel were appropriately evaluating and trending adverse conditions in accordance with applicable procedures.
b. Findings and Observations
No findings were identified.
The trend report consists of several graphs of the number of CRs per quarter that have been coded with various trend codes by the station trend coordinator. PI-AA-200-2001 states that the trend report is a high level report and the value of the report is in allowing the organization to focus on salient station issues without the need to sort through large amounts of distracting data. The report does not provide analysis of the trends. It was 19 Enclosure not clear to the inspectors that the trend report provides any significant value to the target audience, managers and above, since it does not provide sufficient information to determine emerging station issues. Negative trends are forwarded to the applicable department for the necessary analysis. Additionally, the trend report is not a comprehensive listing of negative trends. The trend report listed only three negative trends. Past trend reports were more comprehensive because they contained negative trends identified by the departments. About a year and a half ago, Millstone switched to the Fleet trending procedure which is narrower in scope. Currently there is no single document that captures all the negative trends of the site. The inspectors identified two instances where the guidance of PI-AA-200-2001 was not followed. The Attachment 13 template was not followed since the report does not contain a detailed analysis of the trends. Additionally, the status of the corrective actions for the open trends on Engineering Fundamentals and Configuration Control was not reported in the trend report as is required by section 3.7.2. Both of these issues are minor performance deficiencies since the requirement was administrative in nature and had no safety impact.
.3 Annual Sample: Review of the Operator Workaround Program (2 samples)
a. Inspection Scope
The inspectors performed a review of the Unit 2 and a separate review of Unit 3 operator workarounds. The inspectors reviewed the cumulative effects of the existing operator workarounds, operator burdens, existing operator aids and disabled alarms, and open main control room deficiencies to identify any effect on emergency operating procedure operator actions, and any impact on possible initiating events and mitigating systems. The inspectors evaluated whether station personnel had identified, assessed, and reviewed operator workarounds as specified in Millstone's procedure OP-AA-1700, Operations Aggregate Impact (OAI). The inspectors reviewed the Dominion process to identify, prioritize and resolve main control room distractions to minimize operator burdens. The inspectors reviewed the system used to track these operator workarounds (OPSTAT database) and attended the weekly OAI meeting. The inspectors also toured the control room and discussed the current operator workarounds with the operators to ensure the items were being addressed on a schedule consistent with their relative safety significance.
b. Findings and Observations
No findings were identified.
The inspectors determined that the issues reviewed did not adversely affect the capability of the operators to implement abnormal or emergency operating procedures.
The inspectors also verified that Dominion entered operator workarounds and burdens into the CAP at an appropriate threshold and planned or implemented corrective actions commensurate with their safety significance.
OP-AA-1700 states that the nuclear operations manager is responsible for implementing actions in maintain the OAI greater than or equal to 80. Dominion has not been effective in meeting the target OAI values as both units OAI values have been below 80 for 2012.
20 Enclosure This is an internal Dominion metric and not an NRC requirement; therefore there is no violation of regulatory requirements.
.4 Annual Sample: Work Management Issues with Corrective Action Plan from ACE 017509
a. Inspection Scope
The inspectors performed an in-depth review of Dominion's apparent cause analysis (ACE) 18693 and corrective actions associated with CR428785, de-alloying of service water valves identified in ACE 17509. Specifically, ACE 18693 examined why the corrective action plan from ACE 17509 did not result in replacement of the de-alloying valves before leakage occurred.
The inspectors assessed Dominion's problem identification threshold, cause analyses, extent of condition reviews, compensatory actions, and the prioritization and timeliness of Dominion's corrective actions to determine whether Dominion was appropriately identifying, characterizing, and correcting problems associated with this issue and whether the planned or completed corrective actions were appropriate. The inspectors compared the actions taken to the requirements of Dominion's CAP and 10 CFR 50, Appendix B. In addition, the inspectors performed field walkdowns and interviewed engineering personnel to assess the effectiveness of the implemented corrective actions.
b. Findings and Observations
No findings were identified.
Dominion determined that the apparent cause was that Engineering failed to assess the risk as required by PI-AA-200 when applying for an extension to replace the de-alloying valves. The extension was based on workload and parts availability and not the risk associated with a continuing corrosion process. Dominion determined that a contributing cause was the Corrective Action Review Board's failure to assess the risk when granting the extension.
The inspectors reviewed the ACE and determined that Dominion had adequately identified the issue, and determined the cause and contributing causes. The inspectors determined that Dominion's extent of condition to review long-term correction actions for the past two years to verify that the extensions were properly evaluated for risk was adequate. The inspectors also determined that the corrective action assignments were appropriate. The inspectors determined that some of the behaviors that were identified in the corrective actions for ACE 17509 were repeated in ACE 18693. Specifically, ACE 18693 Apparent Cause 1 (AC-1) and Contributing Cause 1 (CC-1) state that PI-AA-200 was not followed in the ACE 17509 corrective actions in that risk was not assessed when granting extensions for the valve replacements, yet extensions were granted for the ACE 18693 corrective actions to replace of seven of the twelve valves without a discussion of the probability of valve failure during the time period of the extension. Additionally, ACE 18693 CC-3 states that PI-AA-200 was also not followed in ACE 17509 corrective actions in that the valve replacements were not tracked in the corrective action process 21 Enclosure through implementation, yet ACE 18693's CA208981 was closed to a PM work order and CA209022 was closed to a purchase order. Both of these actions were outside of the corrective action process. Both of these issues are minor performance deficiencies since the requirement was administrative in nature and there were no safety consequences.
The inspectors also noted that Corrective Action 04 (CA-04) for Engineering to perform an Effectiveness Review had not been assigned.
.5 Annual Samples: Unit 2 Process Radiation Monitors
a. Inspection Scope
The inspectors conducted an in-depth review of the Unit 2 process radiation monitors. Specifically, the continuous air monitors used for measuring radioactive particulates, Iodine and gaseous activity concentrations were selected for a review of previous problem identification and implementation of corrective actions. The inspectors reviewed CR, causal evaluations, work orders, and operating and maintenance procedures.
The inspectors assessed Dominion's problem identification threshold, cause analyses, extent of condition reviews, compensatory actions, and the prioritization and timeliness of Dominion's corrective actions to determine whether Dominion was appropriately identifying, characterizing, and correcting problems associated with this issue and whether the planned or completed corrective actions were appropriate. The inspectors compared the actions taken to the requirements of Dominion's CAP and 10 CFR 50, Appendix B. In addition, the inspectors performed field walkdowns and interviewed engineering personnel to assess the effectiveness of the implemented corrective actions. The inspectors also interviewed technicians and supervisors in the Operations, HP and I&C departments.
b. Findings and Observations
No findings were identified.
The Unit 2 radiation process monitors RM-8262A/B and RM-8123A/B (Containment Air Monitor - Particulate Monitors) were modified to accept a standardized CP200 or 300 Iodine filter cartridge in 2004. This modification was not controlled under the design modification process and resulted in the installation of a filter adapter that was difficult to successfully install without causing air leakage into the system. If sufficient air leakage existed, the monitor could potentially become inoperable. A review of the Control Room narrative logs and plant process computer (PPC) data for a one year period showed that at no time were both channels OOS at the same time and therefore no violation of TS occurred. Recently, these monitors were restored to the original design configuration by reinstalling the correct vendor-supplied filter cartridges after Dominion identified the issue and corrected the problem.
The Unit 2 radiation process monitors RM-8434A/B (Radwaste Vent Monitor) and RM-8145A/B (Fuel Handling Building Exhaust Air Monitor) are not currently subjected to programmatic license requirements (TS, TRM, ODCM or EALs). Specifically, these NMC monitors are of an older design and have limited commercially available supply 22 Enclosure vendor support. As a result, obtaining spare parts for these monitors has been difficult and equipment failures have required repair of obsolete circuit boards at the component level. In addition, the Iodine filter cartridges in these monitors were modified to accept CP-200 / 300 filter cartridges using an adaptor that was not subjected to the design modification process. These process monitors remain in this condition and may be subjected to air in-leakage because of adapter o-ring degradation and poor design/modification fit. The particulate filter paper rolls are no longer available and the filter paper was replaced with fixed paper instead of continuously advancing paper.
These monitors are listed in Table 7.5-6 of the FSAR as part of the Unit 2 airborne process/effluent radiation monitor system. The functionality of these monitors has been the subject of many CRs and has been historically problematic.
Responsibility for the operations and maintenance of the Unit 2 radiation monitors is divided between several groups including Operations, I&C and HP. This situation results in the diversification of tasks and fragmentation of ownership with the resulting outcome that maintenance and corrective actions have historically not been well coordinated or effective. Coordination of setpoints for the Unit 2 radiation monitors has also been confusing as several documents have provided conflicting guidance. This situation has resulted in radiation monitor setpoints being incorrect with the result that the monitors were non-functional for various periods of time. However, a careful review of PPC data verified that no process monitors had been operated without complying with TS LCOs and action statements.
4OA3 Follow-Up of Events and Notices of Enforcement Discretion
.1 (Closed) Licensee Event Report (LER) 05000336/2011-005-00: Unit 2 Enclosure Building Rendered Inoperable Due to Degraded Door Seal
On December 3, 2011, Dominion discovered that a door sweep became dislodged on a boundary door for the Enclosure Building. As a result, the Enclosure Building was inoperable because there was no bounding analysis to assure that the safety function of the building to control the release of radioactive material was maintained. Dominion repaired the door and determined that 21 hours2.430556e-4 days <br />0.00583 hours <br />3.472222e-5 weeks <br />7.9905e-6 months <br /> had elapsed from the time the door was last satisfactorily checked until the time it was repaired. This was less than TS 3.6.5.2,
"Enclosure Building" 24 hour2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> LCO action statement. The inspectors reviewed the LER and identified no findings and determined that no violation of NRC requirements occurred. This LER is closed.
.2 (Closed) LER 05000423/2011-003-01:
Unit 3 Reactor Trip due to a Loss of Condenser Vacuum On November 20, 2011, during a plant startup following a refueling outage, Unit 3 tripped at 1.7 percent power when a loss of the auxiliary boiler caused a loss of gland sealing steam to the main turbine which caused a loss of vacuum to the main condenser. The operators manually tripped the reactor as required by AOP 3559, "Loss of Condenser Vacuum." AOP 3559 did not differentiate between above and below P-10 operations. Dominion restarted the auxiliary boiler, restored gland sealing steam and condenser vacuum, and returned Unit 3 to criticality. The inspectors reviewed the LER and identified no findings and determined that no violation of NRC requirements occurred. This LER is closed.
23 Enclosure
.3 (Closed) LER 05000423/2012-001:
Unit 3 Main Steam Line Pressure Transmitters Declared Inoperable On February 9, 2012 while operating at 100% power, Dominion discovered that all 12 main steam line steam generator pressure transmitters had been reinstalled without using new gaskets as required by Equipment Qualification Record following maintenance performed from January 17 to February 9. Immediately upon discovery, the operators declared the pressure transmitters inoperable and entered Technical Specification Action Statement 3.0.3 at 4:55 PM. New gaskets were installed and all 12 pressure transmitters were declared operable at 8:12 PM on February 9. Operation in Mode 1 with the pressure transmitters inoperable is contrary to the requirements of Technical Specification 3.3.2 (ESF Actuation System Instrumentation) and Technical Specification 3.3.3.6. (Accident Monitoring Instrumentation). The enforcement aspects of this issue are discussed in section 4OA7. The inspectors did not identify any new issues during the review of the LER. This LER is closed.
4OA5 Other Activities
Operation of an ISFSI at Operating Plants (IP 60855 and 60855.1)
a. Inspection Scope
The inspectors observed and evaluated Dominion's loading of the first of four canisters associated with the current Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation (ISFSI) dry cask campaign for Unit 2. The inspectors verified compliance with the Certificate of Compliance (CoC), TS, regulations, and with Dominion's procedures. The inspectors also reviewed Dominion's activities related to long-term operation and monitoring of the ISFSI. The inspectors observed the heavy load movement of the transfer cask (TC) and loaded dry shielded canister (DSC) from the spent fuel pool to the cask washdown pit next to the spent fuel pool. The inspectors also observed DSC processing operations including:
decontamination and surveying, welding, non-destructive weld examinations, DSC draining, vacuum drying, helium backfilling, and leak testing. During performance of the activities, the inspectors evaluated Dominion's familiarity with procedures, supervisory oversight, and communication and coordination between the personnel involved. The inspectors also reviewed loading and monitoring procedures and evaluated Dominion's adherence to these procedures. The inspectors performed tours of the ISFSI pad to assess the material condition of the pad and the loaded horizontal storage modules (HSMs). The inspectors also reviewed the as low as reasonably achievable (ALARA) goal for the loading of the first cask to determine the adequacy of Dominion's radiological controls and to ensure that radiation worker doses were ALARA and that project dose goals could be achieved. The inspectors attended licensee briefings to assess their ability to identify critical steps of the evolution, potential failure scenarios, and human performance tools to prevent errors. The inspectors reviewed Dominion's program associated with fuel characterization and selection for storage. The inspectors reviewed cask fuel selection packages to verify that 24 Enclosure Dominion was loading fuel in accordance with the CoC and TS. Dominion did not plan to load any damaged fuel assemblies during this campaign. At the time of this inspection, the inspectors noted that the temperature monitoring system for the loaded HSMs was not operational (condition report 474341). The inspectors verified that Dominion was appropriately implementing compensatory measures in accordance with TS requirements for HSM surveillance.
The inspectors reviewed corrective action reports and the associated follow-up actions that were generated since Dominion's last loading campaign to ensure that issues were entered into the CAP, prioritized, and evaluated commensurate with their safety significance. The inspectors also reviewed Dominion's 10 CFR 72.48 screenings.
b. Findings
No findings were identified.
4OA6 Meetings, Including Exit
On July 16, the inspectors presented the inspection results to Stephen E. Scace, Site Vice President, and other members of the Millstone staff. The inspectors verified that no proprietary information was retained by the inspectors or documented in this report.
On April 19, Ronald Bellamy, NRC Branch Chief for Millstone, presented and discussed the 2011 end-of cycle performance assessment of the Millstone Nuclear Power Station with Mr. Stephen Scace, Site Vice President, and other members of the Millstone staff.
The licensee acknowledged the assessment and planned regulatory oversight. This discussion was completed prior to a public open-house meeting on April 19.
(ADAMS Accession ML# 12093A083).
4OA7 Licensee-Identified Violations
The following violation of very low safety significance (Green) was identified by Dominion and is a violation of NRC requirements which meets the criteria of the NRC Enforcement Policy for being dispositioned as an NCV.
Technical Specification 3.3.2 states, in part, that The Engineered Safety Features Actuation System instrumentation channels and interlocks shown in Table 3.3-3 shall be operable with their Trip Setpoints set consistent with the values shown in the Nominal Trip Setpoint column of Table 3.3-4. TS 3.3.3.4 states in part that these accident monitoring channels shall be operable. Contrary to these requirements, all main steam line steam generator pressure transmitters were reinstalled after maintenance using gaskets that were not environmentally qualified for use in an accident environment, thereby rendering these transmitters inoperable from January 17 through February 9, a condition prohibited by TS. Dominion identified the condition and immediately entered TS 3.0.3. Dominion replaced the gaskets and restored full EQ qualification to all main steam line pressure transmitters while complying with the action statements of TS 3.0.3, and entered the issue into the corrective action program as condition report CR462222.
25 Enclosure The inspectors determined that the finding was of very low safety significance (Green) in accordance with NRC IMC 0609, Attachment 4, "Phase 1 - Initial Screening and Characterization of Findings". The inspectors determined this finding was not a design qualification deficiency resulting in a loss of functionality or operability, did not represent an actual loss of safety function of a system or train of equipment, and was not potentially risk-significant due to a seismic, fire, flooding, or severe weather initiating event.
