SUMMARY
IR 05000397/2016007; 06/06/2016 - 06/23/2016; Columbia Generating Station; Baseline Inspection, NRC Inspection Procedure 71111.21M, "Design Basis Inspection (TEAM)."
The inspection activities described in this report were performed between June 6, 2016, and June 23, 2016, by four inspectors from the NRC's Region IV office, one inspector from the NRC's Technical Training Center, and two contractors. One finding of very low safety significance (Green) is documented in this report. This finding involved a violation of NRC requirements. The significance of inspection findings is indicated by their color (Green, White,
Yellow, or Red), which is determined using Inspection Manual Chapter 0609, "Significance Determination Process." The cross-cutting aspect was determined using Inspection Manual Chapter 0310, "Aspects Within the Cross-Cutting Areas." Violations of NRC requirements are dispositioned in accordance with the NRC's Enforcement Policy. The NRC's program for overseeing the safe operation of commercial nuclear power reactors is described in NUREG-1649, "Reactor Oversight Process."
Cornerstone: Mitigating Systems
- Green.
The team identified a Green, non-cited violation of Technical Specification 5.4, Procedures, Section 5.4.1, which states, in part, "Written procedures shall be established, implemented, and maintained covering the following activities: a. The applicable procedures recommended in Regulatory Guide 1.33, Revision 2, Appendix A, February 1978;" Regulatory Guide 1.33, Revision 2, Appendix A, Section 1, Administrative Procedures, Subsection d, specifies Procedure Adherence and Temporary Change Method. This requirement includes plant Procedure SWP-PRO-01, "Procedure and Work Instruction Use and Adherence," Revision 27; Procedure SWP-PRO-02, "Preparation, Review,
Approval and Distribution of Procedures," Revision 42; and Procedure SWP-PRO-03,
"Writers Manual," Revision 21, which identify the requirements governing procedural requirements utilized at Columbia Generating Station. Specifically, from June 6 through June 23, 2016, multiple examples of procedural compliance were identified with the station procedures. These examples include failure to follow procedures, inadequate procedures, not correctly translating design requirements into procedures, validation of procedures, and the distribution of procedures. In response to this issue, the licensee reviewed each individual concern and confirmed that there were no operability concerns. The licensee has also placed each identified concern into their corrective action program and will address each issue. This finding was entered into the licensee's corrective action program as Action Request (AR) 00351364.
The team determined that the licensee's failure to follow guidance procedures for implementation, adherence, accuracy, verification, and distribution of station procedures, was a performance deficiency. This finding was more than minor because it was associated with the procedures attribute of the Mitigating Systems cornerstone and adversely affected the cornerstone objective to ensure the availability, reliability, and capability of systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences. Specifically, failing to have accurate procedures, and to comply with these procedures, was a significant programmatic deficiency that could adversely affect the reliability and capability of systems used to prevent undesirable consequences. In accordance with Inspection Manual Chapter 0609, Appendix A, "The Significance Determination Process (SDP) for Findings At-Power," dated June 19, 2012, Exhibit 2,
"Mitigating Systems Screening Questions," the issue screened as having very low safety significance (Green) because it was a design or qualification deficiency that did not represent a loss of operability or functionality; did not represent an actual loss of safety function of the system or train; did not result in the loss of one or more trains of non-technical specification equipment; and did not screen as potentially risk-significant due to seismic, flooding, or severe weather. The team determined that this finding had a cross-cutting aspect in the area of human performance, resources, where the licensee will ensure that personnel, equipment, procedures, and other resources are available and adequate to support nuclear safety. Specifically, the licensee had not ensured that site procedures were adequate to support plant activities (H.1). (Section 1R21.4.b.)
REPORT DETAILS
REACTOR SAFETY
Cornerstones: Initiating Events, Mitigating Systems, and Barrier Integrity This inspection of design bases verifies that plant components are maintained within their design bases. Additionally, this inspection provides monitoring of the capability of the selected components and operator actions to perform their design basis functions. As plants age, modifications may alter or disable important design features making the design bases difficult to determine or obsolete. The plant risk assessment model assumes the capability of safety systems and components to perform their intended safety function successfully. This inspectable area verifies aspects of the Initiating Events, Mitigating Systems, and Barrier Integrity cornerstones for which there are no indicators to measure performance.
1R21 M Design Basis Inspection
.1 Overall Scope
To assess the ability of Columbia Generating Station equipment and operators to perform their required safety functions, the team inspected risk-significant components and the licensee's responses to industry operating experience. The team selected risk-significant components for review using information contained in the Columbia Generating Station probabilistic risk assessments and the NRC standardized plant analysis risk model. In general, the selection process focused on components that had a risk achievement worth factor greater than 1.3 or a risk reduction worth factor greater than 1.005. The items selected included components in both safety-related and non-safety-related systems including pumps, circuit breakers, air handling units, heat exchangers, switchgear, and valves. The team selected the risk-significant operating experience to be inspected based on the team's collective past experience.
To verify that the selected components would function as required, the team reviewed design basis assumptions, calculations, and procedures. In some instances, the team performed calculations to independently verify the licensee's conclusions. The team also verified that the condition of the components was consistent with the design bases and that the tested capabilities met the required criteria.
The team reviewed maintenance work records, action requests, and industry operating experience records to verify that licensee personnel considered degraded conditions and their impact on the components. For selected components, the team observed operators during simulator scenarios, as well as during simulated actions in the plant.
The team performed a margin assessment and detailed review of the selected risk-significant components to verify that the design bases have been correctly implemented and maintained. This design margin assessment considered original design issues, margin reductions because of modifications, and margin reductions identified as a result of material condition issues. Equipment reliability issues were also considered in the selection of components for detailed review. These included items such as failed performance test results; significant corrective actions; repeated maintenance; 10 CFR 50.65(a)1 status; operable, but degraded conditions; NRC resident inspector input of problem equipment; system health reports; industry operating experience; and licensee problem equipment lists. Consideration was also given to the uniqueness and complexity of the design, operating experience, and the available defense in-depth margins.
The inspection procedure requires a review of 10 to 17 total samples that include risk-significant and low design margin components, components that affect the large early release frequency (LERF) and operating experience issues. The sample selection for this inspection was 10 components, 2 components that affect LERF, and 3 operating experience issues. The selected inspection and associated operating experience items supported risk-significant functions including the following: a. Electrical power to mitigation systems: The team selected several components in the electrical power distribution systems to verify operability to supply alternating current (ac)and direct current (dc) power to risk-significant and safety-related loads in support of safety system operation in response to initiating events such as loss of offsite power, station blackout, and a loss-of-coolant accident with offsite power available. As such, the team selected:
- Radwaste building mixed air cooling system fan (WMA-FN-53A), including cabling and motor control center components for motor/fan assembly operation
- Division III 4.16-kV Class 1E switchgear (E-SM-4) including circuit breakers, protective relays, and cabling
- Division I - 125 VDC battery (E-B1-1)
- Division I standby service water pump motor (SW-M-P/1A) b. Components that affect LERF: The team reviewed components required to perform functions that mitigate or prevent an unmonitored release of radiation. The team selected the following components:
- Containment vacuum breakers (CSP-V-7, -8, -10)
- Upper containment spray valve RHR-V-16A c. Mitigating systems needed to attain safe shutdown: The team reviewed components required to perform the safe shutdown of the plant. As such, the team selected:
- Feedwater pump startup bypass valve (COND-V-149)
- Main feedwater pumps (RFW-P-1A, -1B)
- Standby liquid control system (SLC)
- Standby service water pump (SWP-P-1A)

a. Inspection Scope
The team reviewed the licensee's evaluation of Information Notice 2005-11, "Internal Flooding/Spray-Down of Safety-Related Equipment due to Unsealed Equipment Hatch Floor Plugs and/or Blocked Floor Drains," to verify that the licensee had adequately addressed the issues in the information notice. Specifically, the information notice discussed the possibility of flooding safety-related equipment as a result of (1) equipment hatch floor plugs that are not water tight and (2) blockage of the equipment flood drain systems that are credited to mitigate the effects of flooding in the final safety analysis report and plant design basis calculations. The team identified that the licensee's review did not specifically address blockage of credited flood drain systems; however, the licensee had previously addressed this particular aspect of the information notice in its review of similar operating experience. As a result, the licensee inspected its credited floor drains and instituted a preventive maintenance task to periodically inspect and clean the drains.
b. Findings
No findings were identified.
.3.2 Inspection of WCAP-17308-NP, Revision 0, "Treatment of Diesel Generator (DG) Technical Specification Frequency and Voltage Tolerances"
a. Inspection Scope
The team reviewed the licensee's evaluation of the issues addressed by WCAP-17308-NP, Revision 0, "Treatment of Diesel Generator (DG) Technical Specification Frequency and Voltage Tolerances," to verify that performance of safety-related rotating equipment would not be adversely affected by the associated diesel generator operating at its minimum allowable speed under accident conditions. The team verified that the licensee's analyses and test acceptance criteria adequately addressed the issue.

a. Inspection Scope
The team reviewed the licensee's evaluation of Information Notice 2013-17, "Significant Plant Transient Induced by Safety-Related DC Bus Maintenance at Power," to assess Columbia Generation Station's review for applicability, to assess the adequacy of actions taken to address similar conditions at the station, and to assess the status of any open corrective actions. The team verified that the licensee's review adequately addressed the issues in the information notice.
b. Findings
No findings were identified.
.4 Results of Reviews for Operator Actions
The team selected operator actions for review using information contained in the licensee's probabilistic risk assessment and design basis documentation.
a. Inspection Scope
The team observed operators during simulator scenarios associated with the selected components, as well as observing simulated actions in the plant. The selected operator actions were:
- Simulator scenario: The scenario was designed to place the crew in a loss of critical room ventilation, followed by a loss of all alternating current power (station blackout) event. The emergency procedures for this event direct the operators to reduce the direct current bus loads, a one-hour time-critical action, to extend battery life. The scenario was designed to test the following operator responses; o Loss of the radwaste building mixed air cooling system fan WMA-53A and associated procedural and Technical Specification actions (The loss of WMA 53A (CDBI Component) was to determine operator actions to support room cooling.) o Failure of Level 8 to trip the reactor feed pumps and crew procedural response to prevent steam line flooding (This was listed as a set point issue in the station top ten list and had a high-risk number due to the potential for flooding of the main steam lines.) o Loss of offsite power with an immediate failure of the division 2 emergency diesel generator (EDG) and the required time critical action (TCA) (10 minutes) to secure the EDG (CDBI component and operator time critical action) o Loss of all alternating current power (station blackout) event (In the emergency operating procedure for this event, the crew directs an operator to shed battery loads within 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br /> (TCA)
- In-plant job performance measure: An in-plant job performance measure was used to evaluate the operator performing the required compensatory actions to control the heatup of the main control room. It is assumed that this task will be completed within 30 minutes of the onset of event.
b. Findings
Programmatic Concern pertaining to Columbia Generating Stations Procedures
Introduction.
The team identified a Green, non-cited violation of Technical Specification 5.4, Procedures, for the licensee's failure to follow guidance procedures for initiating, approving, revising, validation, and the distribution of station procedures. The licensee failed to identify and correct numerous problems with station procedures. Specifically, the team identified several instances where the licensee had violated the station's governing procedures for writing, revising, validation, adherence, and distribution of controlled site procedures. The team considered this to be a programmatic concern as the concern for procedural compliance was found in several different disciplines (operations, maintenance, and design engineering).
Description.
The licensee had first identified a deficiency with procedure use and adherence in July 2015. This deficiency was noted as part of a snapshot assessment for the time period of January 2014 through June 2015. Continued poor performance in the area of procedure use and adherence was verified in the licensee's Common Cause Analysis performed under Action Request 338613, and validated by a contracted independent common cause analysis. In a Continuous Monitoring 1st Trimester 2016 report, covering the time period from October 2015 to January 2016, the licensee continued to identify procedure use and adherence concerns. At this time, procedure problems were identified in the areas of fire protection and engineering. In a February 2016 audit, the licensee noted a weakness in a broad implementation of 21 non-compliances with procedures across multiple engineering departments which had not met the stations expectations. In March 2016, the licensee identified that personnel were not using administrative procedures and not ensuring that the procedures had been updated to reflect current business practices. In an April 2016 audit, the licensee noted that 7 of the 20 surveillances and procedures reviewed identified examples of non-compliant use of place-keeping. In the May 2016 audit, the licensee pointed out that procedure concerns still existed, noting that three deficiencies were identified in the areas of procedure review, process, and implementation of procedure revisions.
During the component design bases inspection in June 2016, the team reviewed numerous procedures covered by different work groups throughout the site (engineering, operations, maintenance, administrative, etc.). While performing the inspection, the team started to identify concerns with the station's procedures. The initial concerns were insignificant, administrative errors (typographical errors), but became more significant as the inspection proceeded (outdated controlled procedures in the control room and incorrect control room procedures). The team was aware of the licensee's efforts to improve their procedures and processes. Failure to have accurate procedures, and to comply with these procedures, was a significant programmatic deficiency that could adversely affect the reliability and capability of systems used to prevent undesirable consequences. The team identified multiple examples of procedure violations ranging from adherence to procedures, inadequate procedures, validation of procedures, wrong references identified in documents, and distribution of controlled procedures. Some of the examples identified are listed as follows:
On June 9, 2016, during activities pertaining to a simulator scenario, the team identified that the licensee had not updated the controlled copy of control room Procedure 5.6.2, "Station Blackout (SBO) and Extended Loss of AC Power (ELAP) Attachments." The team found copies of Revision 0 and Revision 3 of the procedure in the control room and did not find the current version of the procedure, Revision 5, in the control room.
Procedure SWP-PRO-02, "Preparation, Review, Approval and Distribution of Procedures," Revision 42, identifies the requirements for initial generation, revisions, review and approval, cancellation, and distribution of procedures. Having two different, outdated revisions of Procedure 5.6.2 in the control room, and not having a copy of the current revision of the procedure in the control room, was a violation of Procedure SWP-PRO-02, Step 5.11, for failure to follow procedures. Step 5.11.a.1)states, in part, "File procedure revisions in all Level 1 controlled procedure locations the same date of implementation." This issue has been entered into the licensee's corrective action program as Action Request 00350729.
On June 9, 2016, and June 20, 21016, the team identified that the licensee had not included the Technical Specification diesel frequency variation into the available margin for the service water system and standby liquid control system pump performance. Emergency core cooling systems flow specifications for low pressure core injection and low pressure core spray systems state that flow rates incorporate margin to account for instrument uncertainty and diesel frequency variation. However, the service water system, a support system for these pumps, does not discuss diesel frequency as part of its margin. Also, the standby liquid control system pump, which would be affected by diesel frequency variations, had not included these variations in the standby liquid control system performance requirements. Technical Specification 3.8.1.2 states, in part, "Verify each required diesel generator starts from standby conditions and achieves steady state: a.) Voltage 3910 V and 4400 V and frequency 58.8 Hz and 61.2 Hz for DG-1 and DG-2; and b.) Voltage 3910 V and 4400 V and frequency 58.8 Hz and 61.2 Hz for DG-3." Variations in voltage and frequency will affect the performance of the service water and standby liquid control systems and, therefore, the margin associated with the calculation and performance requirements of these two systems. With the possible reduction in performance, therefore reducing the available calculated design margin, the licensee was required to review the design requirements of the two systems, and to confirm that enough margin still existed. Upon completion of the design reviews, the licensee confirmed that enough margin still exited in the supporting documents for the service water and standby liquid control systems to perform their design functions. A quick extent of condition review by the licensee also revealed that they had also not included the diesel generator frequency variation concern in the high pressure core spay system design requirements. This was a violation of Procedure SWP-PRO-02, Step 5.4.2.g and Step 5.4.7, for failing to validate and incorporate technical requirements into procedures. Step 5.4.2.g, Validation, and Step 5.4.7, Final Approval, both state, in part, "Procedures shall be reviewed for technical accuracy by a minimum of two technical reviewers who are knowledgeable in the affected subject matter." This issue has been entered into the licensee's corrective action program as Action Requests AR 00350779 and AR 00351128.
On June 20, 2016, during a control room simulator activity, one of two crews incorrectly applied the station blackout procedure. Crew 1 followed the dotted line in Procedure PPM 5.6.1, "Station Blackout (SBO) / Extended Loss of A/C Power (ELAP)"
flow chart, to Step E-1, which states, in part: "If within 45 minutes it is anticipated that AC power cannot be restored to the battery chargers within 4 hours4.62963e-5 days <br />0.00111 hours <br />6.613757e-6 weeks <br />1.522e-6 months <br /> THEN declare an ELAP." The crew delayed taking action for 45 minutes, and then proceeded to Step E-3 of the procedure to reduce station battery loads per Attachment 8.4 of Procedure PPM 5.6.2, "Station Blackout (SBO) and Extended Loss of AC Power (ELAP)s." The in-field validated time for completing the task of reducing the station battery loads (stripping the batteries of unnecessary loads) takes 35 minutes. Waiting 45 minutes to start the actions required to perform battery load stripping would have exceeded the licensee's one-hour time critical action requirement. This was a violation of Procedure SWP-PRO-02, Step 5.4.2.f.3, for validation of the procedure.
Step 5.4.2.f.3 states, in part, "Determine if the procedure revision requires validation based on complexity of performance, particularly operating procedures and special test procedures." Also, in order to implement the procedure correctly as outlined by the station's Operations Superintendent, Crew 2 did not follow the dotted line to Step E-1, but went directly to Step E-2. This allowed them to reach Step 3 of PPM 5.6.1 and implement Attachment 8.4 in time to meet the task time requirement of 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br /> for reducing station battery loads. This was a violation of Procedure SWP-PRO-01, Step 4.1.1.e, for failure to follow the procedure. Step 4.1.1.e states, in part, "COMPLETE each step before starting the next step." This issue has been entered into the licensee's corrective action program as Action Request 00351178.
On June 21, 2016, during simulator activities, the team identified that one of the two crews incorrectly applied Abnormal Procedure ABN HVAC, "Heating Ventilation and Air Conditioning Trouble," Revision 12, for radwaste building mixed air cooling system fan WMA-53A. The ABN HVAC Procedure, Step 4.5.1, states:
"ENTER WMA-FN-53A as inoperable in the Plant Logging System (Refer to Technical Specifications 3.8.4/3.8.5, 3.8.7/3.8.8, and LCS 1.7.1, 1.8.4)." The first crew entered Procedure LCS 1.7.1, "Area Temperature Monitoring," Revision 73, to monitor the area temperatures and take action as required by the procedure action levels.
Crew 2 entered Procedure OI-41, "Operations Work Control Expectations," Revision 59, which provided specific guidance on inoperability of components due to a loss of ventilation. Procedure OI-41 is not listed in ABN-HVAC as a procedure the crew should have referred to. Another concern was that the performance differences between the crews could lead to exceeding the technical specification action time requirements for the listed component limiting condition of operations. The Abnormal Procedure ABN HVAC identified that equipment in the room would be declared inoperable on a loss of ventilation fans; however, as the reference Procedure LCS 1.7.1 action levels are reached, no specific actions are provided. This was a violation of Procedure SWP-PRO-02, Step 5.4.2.g and Step 5.4.7, for failing to validate and incorporate technical requirements into procedures. Step 5.4.2.g, Validation, and Step 5.4.7, Final Approval, both state, in part, "Procedures shall be reviewed for technical accuracy by a minimum of two technical reviewers who are knowledgeable in the affected subject matter." This issue has been entered into the licensee's corrective action program as Action Request 00351179.
On June 21, 2016, as part of the job performance measure of the operators, a scenario was selected to observe the performance of procedure PPM 5.6.2, "Station Blackout (SBO) and Extended Loss of AC Power (ELAP) Attachments," Section 8.5, Compensatory Measures to Promote Control Room Cooling. Two differences were noted during the performance of this procedure section. The first difference was that operators opened different panel doors, with one operator having to be prompted to finish opening front panel doors to validate the time requirements. The procedure action, Step 8.5.2, Bullet 3, states, "OPEN all Control Room front panel doors to provide additional panel cooling." The second performance difference was in the opening of control room doors. Operators opened different doors. The team questioned the licensee whether opening different panel doors and different control room doors was sufficient to meet the design requirements for cooling the control room. The licensee had to review the applicable calculation, using the panel doors and control room doors that were actually opened during the control room scenario, to ensure that the calculation still supported the cooling requirements for the control room components. This was a violation of Procedure SWP-PRO-01, Step 4.1.1, for failing to follow the procedure, and Procedure SWP-PRO-02, Step 5.4.7, for review of technical accuracy.
This issue has been entered into the licensee's corrective action program as Action Request 00351361. On June 21, 2016, during the performance of Procedure PPM 5.6.2, "Station Blackout (SBO) and Extended Loss of AC Power (ELAP) Attachments," Section 8.5, Compensatory Measures to Promote Control Room Cooling, the team discovered that the designation of the control room breaker panels identified in the procedure that needed to be opened did not have the exact same labeling on the control room breaker panels. This was a violation of Procedure SWP-PRO-02, Step 5.4.2.g and Step 5.4.7, for failing to validate and incorporate technical requirements into procedures. Step 5.4.2.g, Validation, and Step 5.4.7, Final Approval, both state, in part, "Procedures shall be reviewed for technical accuracy by a minimum of two technical reviewers who are knowledgeable in the affected subject matter." This issue has been entered into the licensee's corrective action program as Action Request 00351361.
On June 22, 2016, the team identified that the limit on maximum electrolyte temperature assumed in Calculation 2.05.07, "Plant Batteries - Hydrogen Release," was not fully validated and incorporated into plant Procedure PPM 10.25.234, "Equalize Charging 24 VDC, 125 VDC, 250 VDC Station Batteries." The basis for the volume of hydrogen gas that would be generated during equalize charging of the batteries was based on a calculated limiting electrolyte temperature of 104 degrees Fahrenheit. Engineering failed to incorporate the actual temperature increase of 11 degrees Fahrenheit in electrolyte temperature during equalize charging of the batteries into the calculation. The calculated electrolyte temperature limit of 104 degrees Fahrenheit would have been exceeded if the battery room temperature (electrolyte temperature) would have been above 93 degrees Fahrenheit at a time when the batteries would have needed an equalizing charge. This was a violation of Procedure SWP-PRO-02, Step 5.4.2.f.3, for not correctly translating design requirements into procedures (validation of the procedure). This issue has been entered into the licensee's corrective action program as Action Request 00351263 On June 22, 2016, the team reviewed the licensee's list of credited flood drains within the plant, as a follow-up to Information Notice 2005-11, "Internal Flooding/Spray-Down of Safety-Related Equipment due to Unsealed Equipment Hatch Floor Plugs and/or Blocked Floor Drains," under AR Number 00030685. The Final Safety Analysis Review (FSAR), Section 3.9.3 describes the floor drain system, and FSAR Section 3.6 describes the flooding analysis. In 2007, Action Request AR 129227-01 evaluated operating experience associated with flooding and included a list of the flood drains credited for flooding. For the drains that were credited in the flooding calculations; 1) PMRQ 16523-01 performs a three-month preventative maintenance activity to visually inspect floor drains; and 2) PMRQ 16523-02 performs a ten-year inspection where non-destructive examination is performed to closely inspect and verify that the drains do not contain debris or sediment. This had formed the original bases and scope of the licensee's ten-year preventative maintenance activities. In 2012, Action Request AR 212121 identified that the credited floor drains in the flood calculation were to get field labeled. Assignment 02 of AR 212121 was to provide a list of the floor drains credited for flooding. The scope of the current ten-year preventative maintenance program is identified in Work Order WO - 02062360. The team performed a walkdown of the credited flood drains and identified flood drains in Rooms R214 and D104 that were not on the credited floor drain list, and did not have any preventive maintenance (PM) activities identified to inspect for debris or sediment. Also during the walkdown, two credited floor drain scuppers were found that had not been labeled. These drains are on the W525 foot elevation, one in room C508 and the other one in room C502. This was a violation of Procedure SWP-PRO-02, Step 5.4.2.g and Step 5.4.7, for failing to validate and incorporate technical requirements into procedures. Step 5.4.2.g, Validation, and Step 5.4.7, Final Approval, both state in part, "Procedures shall be reviewed for technical accuracy by a minimum of two technical reviewers who are knowledgeable in the affected subject matter." This issue has been entered into the licensee's corrective action program as AR 00351218 and AR 00351209.
Analysis.
The team determined that the licensee's failure to follow guidance procedures for implementation, adherence, accuracy, verification, and distribution of station procedures, was a performance deficiency. This finding was more than minor because it was associated with the procedures attribute of the Mitigating Systems cornerstone and adversely affected the cornerstone objective to ensure the availability, reliability, and capability of systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences. Specifically, failing to have accurate procedures, and to comply with these procedures, was a significant programmatic deficiency that could adversely affect the reliability and capability of systems used to prevent undesirable consequences. In accordance with Inspection Manual Chapter 0609, Appendix A, "The Significance Determination Process (SDP) for Findings At-Power," dated June 19, 2012, Exhibit 2, "Mitigating Systems Screening Questions," the issue screened as having very low safety significance (Green) because it was a design or qualification deficiency that did not represent a loss of operability or functionality; did not represent an actual loss of safety function of the system or train; did not result in the loss of one or more trains of non-technical specification equipment; and did not screen as potentially risk-significant due to seismic, flooding, or severe weather. The team determined that this finding had a cross-cutting aspect in the area of human performance, resources, where the licensee will ensure that personnel, equipment, procedures, and other resources are available and adequate to support nuclear safety. Specifically, the licensee had not ensured that site procedures were adequate to support plant activities (H.1).
Enforcement.
The team identified a Green, non-cited violation of Technical Specification, 5.4 Procedures, Section 5.4.1, which states in part, "Written procedures shall be established, implemented, and maintained covering the following activities: a. The applicable procedures recommended in Regulatory Guide 1.33, Revision 2, Appendix A, February 1978;" Regulatory Guide 1.33, Revision 2, Appendix A, Section 1, Administrative Procedures, Subsection d, specifies Procedure Adherence and Temporary Change Method. This requirement includes plant Procedures SWP-PRO-01, "Procedure and Work Instruction Use and Adherence," Revision 27, Procedure SWP-PRO-02, "Preparation, Review, Approval and Distribution of Procedures," Revision 42, and Procedure SWP-PRO-03, "Writers Manual," Revision 21, which identify the requirements governing procedural requirements utilized at Columbia Generating Station. Contrary to the above, from June 6 through June 23, 2016, the licensee failed to establish, implement, and maintain written procedures as required by the governing procedural requirements utilized at Columbia Generating Station. Specifically, multiple examples of procedural compliance were identified with the station procedures. These examples include failure to follow procedures, inadequate procedures, not correctly translating design requirements into procedures, validation of procedures, and the distribution of procedures. In response to this issue, the licensee reviewed each individual concern and confirmed that there were no operability concerns. The licensee has also placed each identified concern into their corrective action program and will address each issue. This finding was entered into the licensee's corrective action program as Action Request 00351364. Because this finding was of very low safety significance and has been entered into the licensee's corrective action program, this violation is being treated as a non-cited violation consistent with Section 2.3.2.a of the NRC Enforcement Policy: (NCV 05000397/2016007-01, "Programmatic Concern Pertaining to Columbia Generating Stations Procedures.")
