SUBJECT: PILGRIM NUCLEAR POWER STATION - NRC INTEGRATED INSPECTION REPORT 05000293/2009002
Dear Mr. Bronson:
On March 31, 2009, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed an inspection at Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station (PNPS). The enclosed inspection report documents the results, which were discussed on April 8, 2009, with you and other members of your staff.
The inspection examined activities conducted under your license as they relate to safety and compliance with the Commission's rules and regulations and with the conditions of your license.
The inspectors reviewed selected procedures and records, observed activities, and interviewed personnel.
The report documents two NRC-identified findings of very low safety significance (Green). Both of these findings were determined to involve violations of NRC requirements. However, because the findings are of very low safety significance and the findings have been entered into your corrective action program, 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 these NCVs, you should provide a response within 30 days of the date of this inspection report, with the basis for your denial, to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, ATTN.: Document Control Desk, Washington, DC 20555-0001; with copies to the Regional Administrator of Region I; the Director, Office of Enforcement; and the NRC Resident Inspectors at PNPS. 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 I, and the NRC Resident Inspectors at PNPS. The information you provide will be considered in accordance with Inspection Manual Chapter 0305. In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 of the NRC's "Rules of Practice," a copy of this letter, its enclosures, 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 Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html (the Public Electronic Reading Room).

Effectiveness and Operability Evaluations.
The report documents the results of a three-month period of inspection by the resident inspectors.
Two Green findings were identified, both of which were determined to be non-cited violations
(NCVs). The significance for most findings is indicated by their color (Green, White, Yellow, Red)
using Inspection Manual Chapter (IMC) 0609, "Significance Determination Process" (SDP). The
cross-cutting aspect for each finding was determined using IMC 0305, "Operating Reactor
Assessment Program." Findings for which the SDP does not apply may be Green or be assigned
a severity level after
NRC's program for overseeing the safe
operation of commercial nuclear power reactors is described in
- NUR [[]]
EG-1649, "Reactor Oversight
Process," Revision 4, dated December 2006.
- A. [[]]
- NRC -Identified and Self-Revealing Findings Cornerstone: Mitigating Systems * Green. The inspectors identified a non-cited violation (NCV) of very low safety significance of
- III [[, "Design Control," because Entergy personnel did not establish and maintain measures to monitor critical design parameters to assure that equipment and processes essential to the safety-related function of the emergency diesel generator (EDG) air start system were adequate. Specifically, Entergy did not establish adequate measures to assure that an adequate supply of air was available to the air receivers for a minimum of two cold engine starts without recharging. This resulted in the "A"]]
- EDG being inoperable on March 8, 2009. Entergy entered this issue into their corrective action program (
PNP-2009-00807. The immediate corrective actions included establishing compensatory requirements to increase the monitoring frequency for the air start system critical parameters. This finding is more than minor because it is associated with the design control attribute of the Mitigating Systems cornerstone and affects the cornerstone objective to ensure the reliability of systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences (i.e., core damage). Specifically, the finding affected the reliability of the EDG to ensure a minimum of two cold engine starts without recharging to help mitigate the consequences of design basis events. The inspectors determined that the finding is of very low safety significance (Green) because it is not a design or qualification deficiency, did not represent a loss of safety function, and did not screen as potentially risk significant due to external events. There is no cross-cutting aspect identified for this finding because the inspectors determined that the performance deficiency is not reflective of current plant
performance. The monitoring frequencies of the EDG air start system critical
parameters were established for an extended period and prior to this problem there
had not been recent issues with monitoring EDG air start capability. (Section 1R12)
3* Green. The inspectors identified an
- NCV of very low safety significance of Technical Specification 5.4.1 "Procedures," because Entergy personnel did not adequately implement procedure requirements in accordance with
- EN -MA-133, "Control of Scaffolding." Specifically, personnel did not erect scaffold in accordance with procedure
- MA -133 and maintain the minimum distance erection requirements for safety-related equipment or alternatively perform engineering evaluations that concluded the equipment will not be impacted by the scaffolds. Entergy entered this issue into their
CR-PNP-2009-00064, implemented prompt actions to correct the scaffolds, and performed engineering evaluations to assess the affect of the scaffolds on the safety-related equipment. The finding is more than minor because it is associated with the external factors attribute of the Mitigating Systems cornerstone and affects the cornerstone objective to
ensure the reliability of systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences (i.e., core damage). Additionally, the finding is similar to example 4.a in
Appendix E of IMC 0612 in that personnel did not routinely perform engineering
evaluations for scaffolds constructed less than the minimum allowed distance to safety-
related equipment. The inspectors determined that the finding is of very low safety
significance (Green) because the scaffold issues identified were not a design or
qualification deficiency, did not represent a loss of safety function, and did not screen
as potentially risk significant due to external events.
This finding has a cross-cutting aspect in the area of Human Performance because
Entergy's supervisory and management staff did not provide adequate oversight of
workers or communicate expectations to workers to ensure scaffold erection
requirements were fully understood (H.4.c of IMC 305). (Section 1R15)

DETAILS
Summary of Plant Status
Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station (PNPS) operated at or near 100 percent reactor power during the
inspection period with the following exceptions: On February 4, 2009, Entergy operators reduced
reactor power to 75 percent as requested by the Independent System Operator- New England
(ISO-NE) due to work on the offsite grid and resumed full power the same day. On February 12,
2009, operators reduced reactor power to 54 percent as requested by
NE due to work on the
offsite grid and resumed full power the following day. On February 22, 2009, operators reduced
reactor power to 75 percent to perform a rod pattern adjustment and resumed full power the same
day. On March 16, 2009, operators reduced reactor power to 72 percent to perform a rod pattern
adjustment and resumed full power the same day. Operators maintained the reactor at 100
percent power for the remainder of the inspection period. 1.
SAFETY Cornerstones: Initiating Events, Mitigating Systems, and Barrier Integrity
1R01 Adverse Weather Protection (71111.01 - 2 samples)
.1 Seasonal Susceptibility a. Inspection Scope
The inspectors reviewed actions taken by Entergy personnel in preparation for the onset of
cold weather during the week of January 19, 2009. The inspectors reviewed procedure
8.C.40, Seasonal Weather Surveillance, and verified selected steps were completed. The inspectors walked down selected areas addressed in the procedure to determine if heat
tracing as well as ventilation systems were properly working. The inspectors walked down
portions of the intake structure, salt service water pump area and the technical support
center emergency diesel generator room. The documents reviewed during the inspection
are listed in the Attachment.
b. Findings
No findings of significance were identified.
.2 Impending Winter Storm
a. Inspection Scope On February 3, 2009, a winter storm warning was in affect for the surrounding areas of the
site. The inspectors reviewed Entergy's preparations for the impending winter storm as
well as for the high winds expected to accompany the storm. The inspectors reviewed
procedure 2.1.37, Coastal Storm Preparations and Actions. The inspectors conducted a
tour of the plant grounds and the switchyard to determine if loose debris or other material
could become airborne in the presence of high winds or if snow accumulation could impact
5safety-related equipment. The documents reviewed during the inspection are listed in the Attachment.
b. Findings
No findings of significance were identified.
1R04 Equipment Alignment (71111.04)
.1 Partial System Walkdowns (71111.04Q - 4 samples)
a. Inspection Scope
The inspectors performed four partial system walkdowns during this inspection period. The
inspectors reviewed the documents listed in the Attachment to determine the correct
system alignment. The inspectors conducted a partial walkdown of each system to
determine if the critical portions of the selected systems were correctly aligned in
accordance with procedures and to identify discrepancies that may adversely impact
operability. The walkdowns included selected switch and valve position checks, and verification of electrical power to critical components. In addition, the inspectors evaluated
other elements, such as material condition, housekeeping, and component labeling. The
documents reviewed during the inspection are listed in the Attachment.
The following systems were reviewed based on their risk significance for the given plant
configuration:
- Core spray (CS) "A" while
EDG) with the "A" EDG out of service.
b. Findings No findings of significance were identified.
.2 Complete System Walkdown (71111.04S - 1 sample) a. Inspection Scope The inspectors completed a detailed review of the salt service water (SSW) system to
verify the functional capability of the system. The inspectors conducted a walkdown of the system to determine whether the critical components, such as valves, switches, and
breakers were aligned in accordance with procedures and to identify discrepancies that
could impact system operability. The inspectors discussed system health such as material condition and vibration trending data with the system engineer to determine whether known
deficiencies significantly affected the SSW system function. The inspectors also reviewed
condition reports (CRs) to determine whether SSW equipment problems were being
6identified and appropriately resolved. The documents reviewed during the inspection are listed in the Attachment.
b. Findings No findings of significance were identified.
1R05 Fire Protection (71111.05) Fire Protection - Tours (71111.05Q - 5 samples)
a. Inspection Scope
The inspectors performed walkdowns of five fire protection areas during the inspection
period. The inspectors reviewed Entergy's fire protection program to determine the
required fire protection design features, fire area boundaries, and combustible loading
requirements for the selected areas. The inspectors walked down areas to assess
Entergy's control of transient combustible material and ignition sources. The inspectors
also evaluated the material condition and operational status of fire detection and
suppression capabilities, fire barriers, and related compensatory measures. The inspectors then compared the existing condition of the areas to the fire protection program
requirements to determine whether program requirements were met. In addition, the
inspectors reviewed Entergy's response and contingency plan for backup fire fighting
capabilities from January 8 to January 9, 2009, following a fire system pipe rupture near the Health Physics check point. The fire system pipe rupture on January 8, 2009,
degraded portions of the station's fire water system. The documents reviewed during the
inspection are listed in the Attachment. The fire protection areas reviewed were the
following: * Multiple fire areas affected by the fire system pipe rupture on January 8, 2009; * Fire Area 1.9, Fire Zone 1.11 - east side on elevation 51' and reactor water cleanup equipment area; * Fire Area 1.10, Fire Zone 1.28 - recirculation pump motor generator set room; * Fire Area 1.21, Fire Zone 1.21- reactor building closed cooling water (RBCCW) pump room; and * Fire Area 1.10, Fire Zone 1.3 - high pressure coolant injection (HPCI) pump room. b. Findings No findings of significance were identified.
1R07 Heat Sink Performance (71111.07 - 1 sample)
a. Inspection Scope The inspectors reviewed one sample of Entergy's program for maintenance, testing, and
monitoring of risk significant heat exchangers (HXs) to assess the capability of the
HX program
7conformed to Entergy's commitments at Pilgrim related to NRC Generic Letter 89-13, "Service Water System Problems Affecting Safety-Related Equipment." In addition, the
inspectors evaluated whether potential common cause heat sink performance problems
could affect multiple HXs in mitigating systems or result in an initiating event. Based on
risk significance and prior inspection history, the "A" turbine building closed cooling water
(TBCCW) heat exchanger was selected for detailed review by the inspectors. Documents
reviewed during the inspection are listed in the Attachment.
b. Findings No findings of significance were identified.
1R11 Licensed Operator Requalification Program (71111.11)
Resident Inspector Quarterly Review (71111.11Q - 1 sample)
a. Inspection Scope The inspectors observed one sample of licensed operator requalification testing on
January 12, 2009. Specifically, the inspectors observed crew response to an accident
scenario involving the loss of the main transformer and "B" emergency diesel generator
followed by a loss of offsite power, and a subsequent loss of coolant accident. The
inspectors assessed the testing to determine if the training evaluators adequately
addressed observed deficiencies regarding crew response and the use of emergency
operating procedures and emergency action level classification and notification
procedures. In addition, the inspectors conducted a simulator fidelity review to determine if
the arrangement of the simulator instrumentation and controls closely paralleled that of the
control room. The documents reviewed during the inspection are listed in the Attachment.
b. Findings No findings of significance were identified.
1R12 Maintenance Effectiveness (71111.12Q - 2 samples) a. Inspection Scope The inspectors reviewed performance-based problems that involved structures, systems,
and components (SSCs) to assess the effectiveness of maintenance activities. When
applicable, the reviews focused on:
- Proper Maintenance Rule scoping in accordance with
- 10 CFR 50.65; * Characterization of reliability issues; * Changing system and component unavailability; * 10
CFR 50.65(a)(1) and (a)(2) classifications; * Identifying and addressing common cause failures; * Trending of system flow and temperature values; * Appropriateness of performance criteria for SSCs classified (a)(2); and
8* Adequacy of goals and corrective actions for SSCs classified (a)(1).
The inspectors also reviewed system health reports, maintenance history, and
Maintenance Rule basis documents. The inspectors evaluated maintenance effectiveness
and monitoring activities to the requirements of 10 CFR 50.65. The documents reviewed
during this inspection are listed in the Attachment. The following Maintenance Rule
samples were reviewed:
- "A" emergency diesel generator starting air motors; and * Reactor building closed cooling water system. b. Findings Introduction: The inspectors identified a non-cited violation (NCV) of very low safety significance (Green) of
III, "Design Control," because Entergy personnel did not establish and maintain measures to monitor critical
design parameters to assure that equipment and processes essential to the safety-related
function of the emergency diesel generator (EDG) air start system were adequate.
Specifically, personnel did not establish sufficient measures to monitor critical design
parameters for the EDG air start system to ensure that an adequate quantity of air would
be available in the air receivers to perform a minimum of two cold engine starts without
recharging the air receivers. Description: On March 8, 2009, Pilgrim operators declared the "A" EDG inoperable because the starting air pressures for both air receiver tanks decreased below the
minimum required pressure of 225 pounds per square inch (psi). An operator identified the
two air receiver tanks at 200 psi while performing a training exercise in the EDG room.
The pressure in the tanks decreased because the control power fuse blew on the air
compressor. Normally, the air compressor operates automatically to maintain the pressure
in the air receiver tanks between 235 and 250 psi to ensure that an adequate supply of air
is available to perform a minimum of two cold engine starts without recharging the
receivers. The two cold engine starts without air recharging is the design function of the air
start system to maintain the starting capability of the EDG. Generally, operators perform a surveillance to monitor the air compressor and air receiver tanks' parameters on a weekly
basis.
During inspection follow-up, the inspectors reviewed operator logs, EDG surveillance procedures, alarm response procedures, condition reports, and the daily round entries.
The inspectors determined that personnel did not provide sufficient monitoring for the EDG
air start system's critical parameters to ensure that an adequate quantity of air is available
in the air receivers to perform a minimum of two cold engine starts without recharging the
receivers. The inspectors observed that there is not an alarm to alert operators of a low
pressure condition in the air receiver tanks. The inspectors determined that the low
pressure alarm located downstream of the air receiver tanks and after a pressure reducing
valve monitors the delivery pressure to the air start motors, but does not ensure that the air
receiver tanks remain above their minimum required pressure of 225 psi.
Additionally, the inspectors determined that the frequency of procedurally required operator
9checks and surveillances do not assure the critical parameters of the
- EDG air start system remain in specification to assure operability. Specifically, the inspectors determined that without an air receiver tank low pressure alarm, the
EDG air start system leak rate
acceptance criteria described in plant procedures allows the air receivers to leak at a rate
that can render the EDG air start system inoperable for a period of time when considering
the frequency of operator monitoring. For example, with the specified air start system leak
rate acceptance criterion of 18.8 psi in four hours and an initial air receiver pressure of 250
psi, if operator rounds are not performed within eight hours and there is a malfunction of
the air compressor, the air receiver tanks would drop below the minimum required pressure
of 225 psi. The inspectors determined that performing operator checks once a week does
not ensure that the design function of the air start system is met because there is an
opportunity for the pressure in the tanks to decrease below their minimum required
pressure without operators' knowledge as evidenced in the case with the blown fuse.
Analysis: The inspectors identified a performance deficiency related to Entergy personnel not establishing and maintaining adequate measures to monitor critical design parameters
for the EDG air start system such that an adequate supply of air is available for a minimum
of two cold engine starts without recharging. This finding is more than minor because it is
associated with the design control attribute of the Mitigating Systems cornerstone and
affects the cornerstone objective to ensure the reliability of systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences (i.e., core damage). Specifically, the
absence of an air receiver tank low pressure alarm combined with frequency of operator
monitoring of the air start system's critical parameters affected the reliability of the "A" EDG
starting air system. The inspectors evaluated this finding using IMC 0609 Attachment 4,
"Phase 1 - Initial Screening and Characterization of Findings." The inspectors determined
that the finding is of very low safety significance (Green) because it is not a design or
qualification deficiency, did not represent a loss of safety function, and did not screen as
potentially risk significant due to external events.
There is no cross-cutting aspect identified for this finding because the inspectors
determined that the performance deficiency is not reflective of current plant performance.
The monitoring frequencies of the EDG air start system critical parameters were
established for an extended period and prior to this problem there had not been recent
issues with monitoring EDG air start capability.
Enforcement:
III, "Design Control," requires, in part, that measures shall be established for the selection and review for the suitability of application of materials, parts, equipment, and process that are essential to the safety-related
functions of the structures, systems and components. Contrary to the above, prior to
March 08, 2009, Entergy personnel did not adequately consider the suitability of alarms and processes that monitor critical parameters for the EDG air start system to ensure an
adequate supply of air is available for a minimum of two cold engine starts without
recharging the air receivers. Entergy took corrective action to increase the monitoring
frequency for the air start system critical parameters suitable to their alarm design.
Because this issue is of very low safety significance (Green) and was entered into
Entergy's
NCV 05000293/2009002-01, Failure to Establish and Maintain Adequate Measures to Monitor Critical
10Parameters of the EDG Air Start System) 1R13 Maintenance Risk Assessments and Emergent Work Control (71111.13 - 6 samples)
a. Inspection Scope The inspectors evaluated six on-line maintenance risk assessments for planned and
emergent maintenance activities. The inspectors reviewed maintenance risk evaluations,
work schedules, and control room logs to determine if concurrent maintenance or
surveillance activities adversely affected the plant risk already incurred with out-of-service
components. The inspectors verified the appropriate use of Entergy's risk assessment
tool, Equipment Out of Service (EOOS), and entry into appropriate risk categories. The
inspectors evaluated whether Entergy personnel took the necessary steps to control work
activities, minimized the probability of initiating events, and maintained the functional capability of mitigating systems. The inspectors assessed Entergy's risk management actions during plant walkdowns. The documents reviewed during the inspection are listed
in the Attachment. The inspectors reviewed the adequacy of maintenance risk
assessments for the following maintenance and testing activities: * Emergent maintenance when the 120V
- AC safety bus (Y2) was powered by the backup B-15 power supply with reactor core isolation cooling (
- RC [[]]
IC out of service due to alternate shutdown panel testing; * Planned maintenance on the high pressure coolant injection system and the "A" turbine building closed cooling water heat exchanger; * Planned maintenance on the "B" residual heat removal system motor operated valves; * Planned maintenance on the electric fire pump and station blackout diesel; and * Planned maintenance when A6 electrical bus was inoperable due to load shed testing. b. Findings No findings of significance were identified.
1R15 Operability Evaluations (71111.15 - 5 samples) a. Inspection Scope The inspectors reviewed five operability determinations associated with degraded or non-conforming conditions to determine if the operability determinations were justified and if the mitigating systems or those affecting barrier integrity remained available such that no
unrecognized increase in risk had occurred. The inspectors also reviewed compensatory
measures to determine if the compensatory measures were in place and were
appropriately controlled. The inspectors reviewed Entergy's performance for conformance
to applicable Technical Specifications (TS) and
- UFS [[]]
AR requirements. The documents
reviewed during the inspection are listed in the Attachment. The inspectors reviewed the
following degraded or non-conforming conditions:
PNP-2009-00064, Scaffolding erected in "B" residual heat removal/torus room in
11violation of clearance requirements; *
- CR -PNP-2009-00560, High pressure coolant injection steam admission valve (MO-2301-3) failed to fully close on demand; and *
PNP-2009-00234, EDG day tank enclosures colder than expected.
b. Findings Introduction: The inspectors identified a non-cited violation of very low safety significance (Green) of Technical Specification 5.4.1 "Procedures," because Entergy personnel did not
implement procedure requirements in accordance with
MA-133, "Control of
Scaffolding." Specifically, personnel did not erect scaffolds in accordance with procedure
MA-133 and maintain minimum distance erection requirements from safety-related
equipment or alternatively perform engineering evaluations that conclude the equipment
will not be impacted by the scaffolds. Description: On January 7, 2009, during a walkdown of equipment in safety-related areas, the inspectors identified several instances where erected scaffolding did not comply with
the requirements of Entergy's scaffolding procedure
MA-133. Specifically, Entergy's
scaffolding procedure requires all seismic scaffolding erected in safety-related areas to
maintain at least a 2-inch clearance from safety-related equipment and a 3-inch clearance
from expanding system components. In the event that scaffolding cannot be erected in
accordance with the requirement stated above, an engineering evaluation is required.
Contrary to the procedure, the inspectors identified the following scaffolds within the
minimum allowed distance with no engineering evaluation:
- Less than 1" clearance between the scaffold and the "B" core spray pump body; * Approximately 1/8" clearance between the scaffold and
RHR "B" pump discharge valve; * Approximately 1/2" clearance between scaffold bracing and the RHR "D" pump motor lifting lug; and * A ladder and scaffold knuckle were in direct contact with the torus shell at one location, the scaffold support was less than 1/2" to the torus saddle at another location, and at
two more locations scaffolds were less than 1" away from the torus shell. The inspectors communicated this concern to the on-duty shift manager. Entergy
dispatched personnel to correct the scaffolding pole arrangement for the torus, requested
engineering evaluations to assess the affect of the scaffolds on the plant equipment, and
performed an extent of condition (EOC) walk down of other safety-related equipment
areas. However, during a subsequent walkdown on March 26, 2009, the inspectors
identified an additional scaffold not in accordance with Entergy's scaffold procedure. An
erected scaffold in preparation for the refueling outage had been tied off to the "B" core
spray safety-related pipe with no engineering evaluation performed. The inspectors
determined that Entergy's procedural expectations were not well defined as operations,
engineering, and supplemental workers were not fully familiar with the requirements of
MA-133. The inspectors concluded that the training and qualifications were inadequate in
2familiarizing personnel with plant guidelines as it relates to preventing impact damage during a seismic event to safety related equipment. Furthermore, Entergy supervisory
personnel did not follow-up with pre-job briefings to reinforce seismic expectations and
identify shortcomings in the training. This finding is related to a weakness in Entergy's scaffold control program. The inspectors
also identified that the procedure directs operations to review the potential effects of
scaffold activities including review and inspection of long-term scaffolds in all risk
significant areas. The torus shell scaffold had been erected since February 26, 2001.
However, no 50.59 evaluation was performed as required by
MA-133. Entergy
personnel entered these issues into their corrective action program for resolution, took
actions to correct the scaffolds, and performed engineering evaluations to assess the
affect of the scaffolds on the safety-related equipment. The evaluations determined that
the scaffolds did not adversely affect the plant equipment. Analysis. The inspectors identified a performance deficiency in that in some instances Entergy personnel did not implement station procedures when assembling scaffolding in
safety-related areas of the plant. The finding is more than minor because it is associated
with the external factors and equipment performance attributes of the Mitigating Systems
cornerstone and affects the cornerstone objective to ensure the reliability of systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences. The finding is also
similar to example 4.a in Appendix E of IMC 0612 in that Entergy personnel did not
routinely perform engineering evaluations for scaffolds constructed within the minimum
allowed distance of safety related equipment. The inspectors evaluated this finding using
IMC 0609 Attachment 4, "Phase 1 - Initial Screening and Characterization of Findings."
The inspectors determined that the finding is of very low safety significance (Green)
because it is not a design or qualification deficiency, did not represent a loss of safety
function, and did not screen as potentially risk significant due to external events.
This finding has a cross-cutting aspect in the area of Human Performance because
Entergy supervisory and management personnel did not ensure oversight of work
activities, including contractors, such that nuclear safety is supported. Specifically, Entergy
personnel were not familiar with the requirements of
MA-133 due to Entergy's supervisory and management not effectively communicating and reinforcing expectations
related to erection of scaffolds (H.4.c of
- IMC 0305). Enforcement. Technical Specification 5.4.1, "Procedures", requires, in part, that written procedures be implemented as recommended in
NRC Regulatory Guide (RG) 1.33,
"Quality Assurance Program Requirements," Revision 2, Appendix A, February 1978. RG 1.33, Appendix A, Section 9 includes procedures for performing maintenance on safety-
related equipment. Contrary to the above, since January 7, 2009, there were multiple
examples where Entergy personnel and contractors did not implement procedure
MA-
133, "Control of Scaffolding," requirements in that all seismic scaffolding is required to
maintain at least a 2-inch clearance from safety related equipment or have an engineering
evaluation performed. Entergy's corrective actions included restoring identified scaffolds
into compliance with procedure
MA-133, performing engineering evaluations on all
scaffolds found to be within clearance requirements, re-inspecting all existing scaffolds,
and coaching operators to walk down existing scaffolds to identify any conditions adverse
13to quality. Because this finding is of very low significance and Entergy entered it into their corrective action program (CR-PNP-2009-00050,
PNP-2009-
00064, and
NCV 05000293/2009002-02: Failure to Implement Scaffolding Procedure Requirements)
1R18 Plant Modifications (71111.18 - 1 sample) a. Inspection Scope The inspectors reviewed temporary modification engineering change (EC) 12705,
Reconfigure Alternate Power Feed Leads for
determine whether the performance capability of the "A" residual heat removal Injection valve breaker had been degraded through the modification. The inspectors reviewed
electrical drawings, relevant condition reports, procedures, and the 10 CFR 50.59
screening to ensure the temporary modification did not adversely affect the breaker's
electrical capability to provide power to the motor operated valve. The inspectors reviewed the updated electrical drawings to determine whether they properly reflected the temporary
modification. The documents reviewed during the inspection are listed in the Attachment.
b. Findings No findings of significance were identified.
1R19 Post-Maintenance Testing (71111.19 - 7 samples)
a. Inspection Scope The inspectors reviewed seven samples of post maintenance tests (PMT) during this
inspection period. The inspectors reviewed these activities to determine whether the PMT
adequately demonstrated the safety-related function of the equipment, given the scope of
the work performed, and that operability of the system was restored. In addition, the inspectors evaluated the applicable test acceptance criteria to verify consistency with the
associated design and licensing bases, as well as TS requirements. The inspectors also
evaluated whether conditions adverse to quality were entered into the corrective action
program for resolution. The documents reviewed during the inspection are listed in the
Attachment. The following maintenance activities and their post-maintenance tests were
evaluated:
- Leak rate testing on the torus man way covers; * "A" residual heat removal injection throttle valve (MO-1001-28A) maintenance; * Replacement of the alternate shutdown panel reactor core isolation cooling flow controller; * Adjustment and lubrication of

14 b. Findings No findings of significance were identified.
1R22 Surveillance Testing (71111.22 - 7 samples)
a. Inspection Scope The inspectors reviewed seven samples of surveillance activities to determine whether the
testing adequately demonstrated equipment operational readiness and the ability to perform the intended safety-related functions. The inspectors reviewed selected
prerequisites and performance of surveillance activities to determine if the tests were performed in accordance with procedures. Additionally, the inspectors evaluated the
applicable test acceptance criteria for consistency with associated design bases, licensing
bases, and TS requirements. The inspectors also evaluated whether conditions adverse
to quality were entered into the corrective action program for resolution. The documents
reviewed during the inspection are listed in the Attachment. The following surveillance
tests were evaluated:
- RBCCW "C" in-service testing surveillance; * Reactor coolant system leakage detection surveillance; * "A"
EDG and associated emergency bus surveillance; * High pressure coolant injection simulated automatic actuation, flow rate and cold quick start test; and * "B" and "D" residual heat removal pump tests. b. Findings No findings of significance were identified. Cornerstone: Emergency Preparedness

- OTHER [[]]
PI) Verification (71151)
Barrier Integrity Cornerstone (71151 - 1 sample) a. Inspection Scope The inspectors reviewed PI data to determine the accuracy and completeness of the
reported data. The review was accomplished by comparing reported PI data to
confirmatory plant records and data available in plant logs, CRs, system health reports,
and NRC inspection reports. The acceptance criteria used for the review was Nuclear
Energy Institute (NEI) 99-02, Revision 5, "Regulatory Assessment Performance Indicator
Guidelines." The documents reviewed during the inspection are listed in the Attachment.
The following performance indicator was reviewed:
- Reactor Coolant System Unidentified Leakage from the first quarter of 2008 through the fourth quarter of 2008.
b. Findings No findings of significance were identified.
4OA2 Identification and Resolution of Problems (71152)
.1 Review of Items Entered into the Corrective Action Program (CAP) a. Inspection Scope As required by Inspection Procedure 71152, "Identification and Resolution of Problems,"
and to identify repetitive equipment failures or specific human performance issues for
follow-up, the inspectors performed a daily screening of all items entered into Entergy's
corrective action program. The review was accomplished by accessing Entergy's
computerized database for condition reports, and attending condition report screening
meetings. b. Findings No findings of significance were identified.
.2 Annual Sample: Review of Security Department Procedure Implementation (1 sample)
a. Inspection Scope
16 The inspectors focused on Entergy's problem identification, evaluation, and resolution of a
potential adverse trend identified in security-related work practices and procedure compliance
in the area of human performance. On September 12, 2008, inspectors completed a security
baseline inspection at the
ADAMS Accession No. ML082940103. Three of the findings
identified during the inspection had a cross-cutting aspect in the area of human performance.
Entergy initiated condition reports (CR-PNP-2008-03584,
PNP-
2008-03587) to resolve the issues. Entergy promptly corrected or compensated for these
deficiencies, and before the inspectors left the site, Entergy complied with the applicable
physical protection and security requirements within the scope of the inspection. In addition,
Entergy initiated a condition report (CR-PNP-2008-03588) for the Security Department to
evaluate if a potential trend existed in human performance.
The inspectors reviewed Entergy's associated apparent cause evaluation, extent of condition
review, and proposed short-term and long-term corrective actions. The inspectors conducted
interviews with site personnel and reviewed site-specific procedures, memos, standing orders,
and shift turnover notes. In addition, the inspectors reviewed the
- PN [[]]
PS security plan and
security post orders to ensure that applicable physical protection and security requirements
identified in these documents complied with regulatory requirements.
b. Findings and Observations No findings of significance were identified. Entergy used a "why staircase" methodology in the
apparent cause evaluation to determine if a trend or additional corrective actions were
needed. The apparent cause evaluation determined that the issues involved individual
accountability. The inspectors determined that Entergy performed an adequate review of the issues and implemented the appropriate corrective actions. The corrective actions were
aligned with the apparent cause evaluation and included a review of additional work
departments. The inspectors concluded that Entergy had taken appropriate action in
accordance with station procedures and the corrective action program. The inspectors also
determined that the apparent cause evaluation and subsequent corrective action follow-up
were appropriate. 4OA3 Event Follow-up (71153 - 2 samples)
.1 Operator Response to Unplanned Inoperability of the Torus
a. Inspection Scope On January 12, 2009, 2:01 p.m., operators declared the torus inoperable due to the
discovery of loose bolts on one of the two torus manway covers. Specifically, fourteen of
forty-four bolts were found to be "hand-tight", or less than the specified 45 foot-pounds of
torque required, on the east manway cover. After discovery of the degraded manway
cover, Entergy staff declared the torus inoperable and entered TS 3.7.A.2.a.3, "Primary
Containment Integrity - Blind Flanges and Manways," which requires the plant to be in cold
shutdown within 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />. Entergy staff performed an extent of condition review
subsequent to the discovery which included verifying the other manway cover, the north
manway. Three of the forty-four bolts on the north manway cover were found to be less
17than the specified 45 foot-pounds of torque required. Entergy proceeded to torque each bolt on both local manway covers to the required 45 foot-pounds of torque, and then
conducted an individual leak rate test on both manways to determine the torus leakage.
Entergy determined there was no leakage and exited TS 3.7.A.2.a.3 at 10:57pm. In
addition, Entergy personnel conducted a past operability evaluation and determined that the torus would have met its design function with the as-found condition of "hand-tight"
bolts.
The inspectors reviewed the technical specifications, control room logs, risk profile, and
interviewed operations, engineering, and maintenance personnel. The inspectors
reviewed the basis for declaring the torus operable by reviewing the subsequent leak rate
testing performed after the bolts were tightened. The inspectors also reviewed Entergy's
past operability evaluation to determine whether the torus safety function was maintained considering the bolts in an as-found condition of "hand-tight." The documents reviewed
during the inspection are listed in the Attachment.
b. Findings No findings of significance were identified.
.2 (Closed)
HPCI) Inoperable Due to Undervoltage Relay Failure in Valve Power Supply Circuit (1 sample)
a. Inspection Scope On October 21, 2008, the control room received a motor control center (MCC) D9 trouble
alarm. Operators noted that the
- HP [[]]
CI injection valve indicator light was extinguished.
After further investigation, operators discovered that the 125V DC valve control power
circuit for the normally closed
- HP [[]]
CI injection valve was deenergized due to an
undervoltage relay failure in the 250V
was declared inoperable and Technical Specification (TS) 3.5.C was entered at 7:44pm.
The TS allowed outage time is 14 days provided that the reactor core isolation cooling
system and the low pressure injection system are both operable or be in cold shutdown
within 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />. Entergy personnel took corrective actions to replace the undervoltage
relay and
- HP [[]]
CI was returned to service at 4:04am on October 22, 2008. Additional
corrective actions by Entergy included performing an undervoltage relay destructive failure
analysis and an engineering evaluation on installed DC power motor operated valve
undervoltage relays. Entergy's root cause and failure analysis identified that the relay was
the correct relay verified by the receipt inspection, the temperature was within its operating
parameters, and the relay did not display any unusual external indications. The relay was
not discolored and there were no maintenance activities in October that would have had a
direct impact on this failure. The analysis further stated the cause to be an isolated
premature component failure due to a manufacturing defect, specifically damage to a
single coil wire. This was identified in Entergy's corrective action program as
PNP-
2008-03338. This LER is closed.
b. Findings
18 No findings of significance were identified.
4OA5 Other Activities
Quarterly Resident Inspector Observations of Security Personnel and Activities
a. Inspection Scope
During the inspection period the inspectors conducted observations of security force personnel and activities to ensure that the activities were consistent with Entergy 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 and were considered an integral part of the
inspectors' normal plant status reviews and inspection activities.
b. Findings
No findings of significance were identified.
4OA6 Meetings, Including Exit On April 8, 2009, the resident inspectors conducted an exit meeting and presented the
preliminary inspection results to Mr. Kevin Bronson, Site Vice President, and other
members of the Pilgrim staff. The inspectors confirmed that no proprietary information was
retained from this inspection period.
