SUMMARY OF FINDINGS
IR 05000335/2014005, 05000389/2014005; 10/01/2014 - 12/31/2014; St. Lucie Nuclear Plant, Units 1 & 2; Problem Identification and Resolution
The report covered the three-month period of inspection from October 1, 2014, to December 31, 2014. The inspection activities were performed by the resident inspectors and specialist inspectors from the Region II office. One self-revealing Green NCV was documented during this inspection period. The significance of inspection findings are indicated by their color (Green, White, Yellow, or Red) and determined using Inspection Manual Chapter (IMC) 0609, "Significance Determination Process," (SDP) dated June 2, 2011. The cross-cutting aspect was determined using IMC 0310, "Components Within the Cross-Cutting Areas," dated December 4, 2014. All violations of NRC requirements were dispositioned in accordance with the NRC's Enforcement Policy dated July 9, 2013. The NRC's program for overseeing the safe operation of commercial nuclear power reactors is described in NUREG-1649, "Reactor Oversight Process," Revision 5.
NRC-Identified and Self-Revealing Findings
Cornerstone: Mitigating Systems
- Green.
A self-revealing, non-cited violation (NCV) of 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion V, "Instructions, Procedures, and Drawings," resulted from the licensee's failure to implement work order instructions to install Unit 2 safety-related vent valve V3811 in accordance with dimensions specified by the engineering design. The failure to implement the work order instructions was a performance deficiency that resulted in inoperability of the emergency core cooling system (ECCS) Class 1 pressure boundary due to a through-wall crack and self-revealing leak. The licensee entered the issue into the corrective action program (CAP) as action request (AR) 01980340 and completed corrective actions to repair the leak and install V3811 with the correct dimensions.
The performance deficiency was more than minor because it adversely impacted the operability of safety-related equipment that mitigates the consequences of a loss of coolant accident, and therefore, was associated with the equipment reliability 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. The inspectors screened the finding under the mitigating systems cornerstone using Attachment 4 (June 19, 2012) and Appendix A (June 19, 2012) of Inspection Manual Chapter 0609, "Significance Determination Process" (June 2, 2011). The inspectors determined the finding required a detailed risk evaluation because the finding was associated with a loss of high pressure safety injection (HPSI) system function and evaluated the condition using the significance determination process (SDP)module in the St. Lucie Unit 2 Standardized Plant Analysis Risk (SPAR) model. The change in core damage frequency (CDF) was greater than the 1E-7 threshold and the issue was reviewed by a regional senior reactor analyst (SRA) to confirm the result and verify that external events contribution would not cause the results to increase above 1E-6. The SRA used the same St. Lucie Unit 2 SPAR model, and made the following adjustments: set the exposure time to 51 days (half of the entire period that Unit 2 was in an operating condition),
the safety injection tank (SIT) discharge check valve and the reactor coolant system (RCS) check valve were failed in the SPAR model (i.e., set to a value of 1.0), and common cause failure events were not increased since an extent of cause evaluation did not identify additional examples of the performance deficiency. The SRA confirmed the inspectors'
conclusion that the issue was of very low risk significance (Green). The analyst determined that there was additional margin to the green-white threshold because: 1) the analysis assumed that the injection flows from the SIT and the high pressure injection system on one of four paths were completely failed when there would likely have been some injection flow under postulated break conditions, 2) the potential break size was limited to only a portion of the possible spectrum of small break loss of coolant accident (SBLOCA) sizes due to the physical size of the pipe, and 3) this issue was an isolated example, unlike other recent RCS leaks that have occurred in the industry which were of a repetitive and long-standing nature. The inspectors concluded the finding was associated with the cross-cutting aspect of procedural adherence (H.8) in the human performance area because maintenance personnel did not adhere to work order instructions concerning the dimensions of the vent valve assembly.

Licensee-Identified Violations
None
REPORT DETAILS
Summary of Plant Status Unit 1 began the inspection period at 100 percent rated thermal power (RTP). On October 15, power was lowered to 97 percent RTP to support moderator temperature coefficient testing.
The unit was returned to 100 percent RTP on October 16. The unit was at 100 percent power for the remainder of the inspection period.
Unit 2 began the inspection period at 100 percent RTP. On November 12, the unit was manually tripped when the operators noticed lowering B steam generator water level due to an unplanned closure of a main feedwater isolation valve (MFIV). The unit was restarted on November 18 and reached 100 percent RTP on November 19. The unit was at 100 percent power for the remainder of the inspection period.

1R20 Refueling and Other Outage Activities
Unit 2 Unplanned Outage: Repair Main Feedwater Isolation Valve HCV-09-2B and Replace Control Element Assembly (CEA) 35 Coil Stack
a. Inspection Scope
On November 12, Unit 2 was manually tripped when the operators noticed lowering B steam generator water level due to an unplanned closure of MFIV HCV-09-2B. During the shutdown, the MFIV was repaired and the coil stack for Control Element Assembly 35 was replaced. In September 2014, the upper gripper coil for CEA 35 was found to be degraded and the CEA had been transferred to its lower gripper coil. The unit was cooled down to Mode 5 (<200oF) in order to replace the CEA coil stack. Outage Planning, Control and Risk Assessment The inspectors reviewed the licensee's outage risk control plan and schedule to verify that the licensee had appropriately considered risk, industry experience and previous site specific problems. Monitoring of Shutdown Activities The inspectors observed portions of the cooldown process to verify that technical specification cooldown restrictions were followed. The inspectors conducted a containment walkdown after the shutdown to assess the condition of the systems within containment that are inaccessible with the unit at power. The inspectors performed walkdowns of important systems and components used for decay heat removal from the reactor core during the shutdown period including the intake cooling water and component cooling water systems. Outage Activities The inspectors examined outage activities to verify that they were conducted in accordance with TS, licensee procedures, and the licensee's outage risk control plan.
Some of the more significant inspection activities accomplished by the inspectors were as follows:
- Verified operability of RCS pressure, level, flow, and temperature instruments during various modes of operation
- Verified electrical systems availability and alignment
- Verified shutdown cooling system operation
- Evaluated implementation of reactivity controls
- Examined containment foreign material exclusion controls put in place for the limited work inside containment Heat-up, Mode Transition, and Reactor Startup Activities The inspectors examined selected TS, license conditions, license commitments and verified administrative prerequisites were being met prior to mode changes. The inspectors also verified containment integrity was properly established. The inspectors performed a containment closeout inspection prior to startup. The inspectors witnessed portions of the RCS heat up, reactor startup, and power ascension. On November 18, the inspectors verified that startup activities were performed in accordance with licensee general operating procedures 2-GOP-302, Reactor Startup - Mode 3 to Mode 2, and 2-GOP-201, Reactor Startup - Mode 2 to Mode 1.
b. Findings
No findings were identified.
1R22 Surveillance Testing
a. Inspection Scope
The inspectors either reviewed or witnessed four surveillance tests to verify that the tests met TS, the UFSAR, the licensee's procedural requirements, and demonstrated the systems were capable of performing their intended safety functions and their operational readiness. In addition, the inspectors evaluated the effect of the testing activities on the plant to ensure that conditions were adequately addressed by the licensee staff and that after completion of the testing activities, equipment was returned to standby alignment required for the system to perform its safety function. The inspectors verified that surveillance issues were documented in the CAP. Documents reviewed are listed in the Attachment. The following surveillances were reviewed: Surveillance Tests:
- 2-OSP-69.24, Engineered Safeguards Test, Train A
- 2-SMI-08.05A, Steam Generator Pressure Loop Check and Calibration Channel A, P8013A, P8023A (channel P8013A only)
- 1-OSP-59.01A, 1A Emergency Diesel Generator Monthly Surveillance
- 1-OSP-66.01, Control Element Assembly Quarterly Exercise
b. Findings
No findings were identified. Cornerstone: Emergency Preparedness 1EP6 Drill Evaluation Emergency Preparedness Drills
a. Inspection Scope
On October 29, 2014, the inspectors observed the simulator control room and the technical support center staff during a drill of the site emergency response organization to verify the licensee was properly classifying emergency events, making the required notifications, and making appropriate protective action recommendations. The scenario included a loss of offsite power that degraded into a station blackout condition. Plant conditions degraded to a point where the licensee declared an Alert and later, a General Emergency. During the drill, the inspectors assessed the licensee's actions to verify that emergency classifications and notifications were made in accordance with licensee emergency plan implementing procedures (EPIPs) and 10 CFR 50.72 requirements. The inspectors specifically reviewed the classifications and notifications to verify they were in accordance with licensee procedures EPIP-01, Classification of Emergencies, and EPIP-02, Duties and Responsibilities of the Emergency Coordinator. The inspectors also observed whether the initial activation of the emergency response centers was timely and as specified in the licensee's emergency plan and that the licensee identified critique items and drill weaknesses were captured in the CAP.
b. Findings
No findings were identified.
OTHER ACTIVITIES
4OA1 Performance Indicator Verification
.1 Mitigating Systems Cornerstone
a. Inspection Scope
The inspectors checked licensee submittals for the Unit 1 and Unit 2 mitigating system performance indicators (PIs) listed below for the period October 1, 2013 through September 30, 2014, to verify the accuracy of the PI data reported during that period.
Performance Indicator definitions and guidance contained in Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI) 99-02, Regulatory Assessment Performance Indicator Guideline, and licensee procedures ADM-25.02, NRC Performance Indicators, and LI-AA-204-1001, NRC Performance Indicator Guideline, were used to check the reporting for each data element. The inspectors checked operator logs, plant status reports, condition reports, system health reports, and PI data sheets to verify that the licensee had identified the required data, as applicable. The inspectors interviewed licensee personnel associated with performance indicator data collection, evaluation, and distribution. The PIs reviewed are listed below:
- Emergency AC power
- Residual heat removal system
- Heat removal system
- High pressure injection system
- Cooling water system
a. Findings
No findings were identified.
4OA2 Identification and Resolution of Problems
.1 Daily Review
a. Inspection Scope
As required by Inspection Procedure 71152, Identification and Resolution of Problems, and to help identify repetitive equipment failures or specific human performance issues for follow-up, the inspectors performed a screening of items entered daily into the licensee's CAP. This review was accomplished by reviewing daily printed summaries of action requests and by reviewing the licensee's electronic AR database. Additionally, reactor coolant system unidentified leakage was checked on a daily basis to verify no substantive or unexplained changes.
b. Findings
No findings were identified.
.2 Semi-Annual Trend Review:
a. Inspection Scope
Inspectors performed a review of the licensee's CAP and associated documents to identify trends that could indicate the existence of a more significant safety issue. The inspectors' review was focused on repetitive equipment issues, but also considered the results of daily inspector CAP item screening discussed in section 4OA2.1, plant status reviews, plant tours, and licensee trending efforts. The inspectors' review nominally considered the six month period of July 2014 through December 2014, although some examples expanded beyond those dates when the scope of the issue warranted. The inspectors reviewed AR 1960682, which documented an adverse trend associated with the quality of maintenance work instructions. This trend was identified in April 2014 after the site had accumulated several non-cited violations with cross cutting aspect H.7 (complete, accurate documentation) over the previous year. In the 3rd quarter 2014, the licensee closed an adverse trend associated with maintenance work practices to this AR. The inspectors also reviewed AR 2009517 that identified a potential trend with equipment issues associated with both units' control rod drive systems. Two Unit 2 control rod drive system upper gripper coils were found degraded. One coil was replaced at the end of the spring 2014 refueling outage (RFO) and the other was replaced during the November 2014 forced outage. Over the last several months, Unit 1 experienced several control rod system upper gripper coil power switch failures. The power switches were replaced after placing the associated CEA on the hold bus. The inspectors evaluated the licensee's administration of both action requests in accordance with the CAP as specified in licensee procedure PI-AA-104-1000, Corrective Action. Documents reviewed are listed in the Attachment.
b. Findings and Observations
No findings were identified. The inspectors identified two adverse trends that were also identified by the licensee. One trend was associated with maintenance work order quality and the other with control rod system equipment failures. Corrective actions implemented at the completion of this inspection period for both adverse trends appeared reasonable. The licensee's root cause evaluation (RCE) 1960682, documented that work order quality did not always support first time quality for task completion. The licensee determined that required pre-job walkdowns were not performed with adequate rigor. Failure to perform these walkdowns adequately resulted in gaps in work order instruction quality and rework. The term "walkdown" used in this regard includes performing such things as: vendor manual review, work order instruction reviews, job site review and table top reviews. Corrective actions included developing criteria to measure walkdown quality and holding personnel accountable to complete pre-job walkdowns. Degraded control rod system performance increases the probability of a dropped rod and plant transient. Licensee short term corrective actions include performing monthly monitoring (traces) of upper gripper coil and circuit performance for Unit 1 and doing the same monitoring on a weekly basis for Unit 2. By the end of this inspection period, a licensee team was established to determine long-term corrective actions.
.3 Annual Sample Review: Root Cause Evaluation Associated with Through-wall Crack on Vent Valve V3811 Piping
a. Inspection Scope
On July 25, 2014, the licensee identified a leak on the piping associated with the V3811 valve assembly on Unit 2. V3811 is a manual vent valve mounted on the ECCS cold leg injection header and is located downstream of the 2B1 safety injection tank (SIT) and the tie-in point for the low pressure safety injection (LPSI) and high pressure safety injection (HPSI) systems. The licensee determined that, based on the leak location, the 2B1 SIT was inoperable and action statement b of LCO 3.5.1, Safety Injection Tanks (SIT) was entered. This required restoration of 2B1 SIT to operable status within 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> or be in Hot Standby condition within the next 6 hours6.944444e-5 days <br />0.00167 hours <br />9.920635e-6 weeks <br />2.283e-6 months <br /> and in Hot Shutdown condition within the following 6 hours6.944444e-5 days <br />0.00167 hours <br />9.920635e-6 weeks <br />2.283e-6 months <br />. Unit 2 reactor shutdown was performed on July 26, 2014. The licensee entered the event into the corrective action program as AR 1980340 and performed a root cause evaluation of the event. The root cause evaluation was reviewed by the inspectors in detail to evaluate the effectiveness of the licensee's corrective actions. The inspectors verified the licensee's actions were in accordance with licensee procedures, PI-AA-204, Condition Identification and Screening, and PI-AA-205, Condition Evaluation and Corrective Actions.
b. Findings and Observations
Introduction:
A Green, self-revealing, non-cited violation (NCV) of 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion V, "Instructions, Procedures, and Drawings," resulted from the licensee's failure to implement work order instructions to install Unit 2 safety-related vent valve V3811 in accordance with dimensions specified by the engineering design.
Description:
On March 17, 2014, welders installed a Class 1, one-inch manual vent valve assembly (V3811) onto the ECCS cold leg injection pipe downstream of the common tie-in points of the HPSI system, the LPSI system, and the 2B1 SIT. Step 15 in the task instruction for WO 40196531-04 directed that the new valve assembly be welded in accordance with isometric drawing 2998-C-124, Sheet SI-64 (revision 15).
The isometric drawing specified that the dimension of the piping between the top of the ECCS cold leg injection pipe and the bottom of vent valve V3811 be 3-1/8 inches (in.) long. This dimension provided for an intended 7/8 in. space between the welds. Contrary to the work order instructions, the pipe was shortened during field installation to approximately 2-1/4 in. which allowed the toes of the top and bottom welds to make contact. This weld-to-weld physical contact contributed to a stress riser in the pipe wall below valve V3811 that resulted in a circumferential 225° through-wall crack with partial wall cracking through approximately 67.5° of the remaining pipe circumference after V3811 was returned to service. This condition was revealed when (in response to elevated Unit 2 containment particulate radiation monitor readings) the licensee made a containment entry that identified the through-wall leak on the vent pipe below V3811.
On July 26, 2014, the licensee declared the ECCS Class 1 pressure boundary inoperable due to the through-wall flaw and shut down the reactor to repair the condition. The licensee entered the issue into the corrective action program as AR 01980340 and completed repairs on July 28, 2014. The inspectors noted that Unit 2 operated for approximately 101 days in Mode 3 (or above) with the V3811 weld configuration described above. The NRC performed an independent evaluation of the flaw using the criteria from Appendix C, "Flaw Evaluations for Fully-Plastic Fracture Using Limit Load Criteria," in Section XI, "Rules for Inservice Inspection of Nuclear Power Plant Components," of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) Code, 2010 Edition. The inspectors concluded that the as-found flaw size exceeded acceptance criteria and challenged the assurance that the flaw would not propagate to complete failure under design basis conditions (i.e., ECCS actuation). Based on the location of the vent line, a rupture of the piping would have diverted flow from the HPSI system during a small break loss of coolant accident (SBLOCA) and the 2B1 SIT during a large break loss of coolant accident (LOCA). Although ECCS flow would also have been diverted from the LPSI system in the event of a LOCA, the inspectors concluded that the diverted flow through a one-inch vent line at the lower injection pressure would be small when compared to the overall flow capacity of the LPSI system. The inspectors determined that these factors called into question the operability of the HPSI system and the 2B1 SIT prior to the licensee's discovery of the issue on July 26, 2014.
Analysis:
The licensee's failure to implement WO 40196531-04 instructions to install V3811 in accordance with the dimensions specified by the design isometric drawing was a performance deficiency. The performance deficiency was more than minor because it resulted in a through-wall flaw that adversely impacted the operability of safety-related equipment intended to mitigate the consequences of a loss of coolant accident.
Therefore, the inspectors concluded that the performance deficiency was associated with the equipment reliability 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. The inspectors screened the finding under the mitigating systems cornerstone using Attachment 4 (June 19, 2012) and Appendix A (June 19, 2012) of Inspection Manual Chapter 0609, "Significance Determination Process" (June 2, 2011). The inspectors determined the finding required a detailed risk evaluation because it was associated with a loss of HPSI system function and evaluated the condition using the significance determination process (SDP) module in the St. Lucie Unit 2 Standardized Plant Analysis Risk (SPAR) model. The change in core damage frequency (CDF) was greater than the 1E-7 threshold and was subsequently reviewed by a regional senior reactor analyst (SRA) to confirm the result and verify that external events contribution would not cause the results to increase above 1E-6. The SRA used the same St. Lucie Unit 2 SPAR model, and made the following adjustments: set the exposure time to 51 days (half of the entire period that Unit 2 was in an operating condition), the SIT discharge check valve and the reactor coolant system (RCS) check valve were failed in the SPAR model (i.e., set to a value of 1.0), and common cause failure events were not increased since an extent of cause evaluation did not identify additional examples of the performance deficiency. The SRA confirmed the inspectors' conclusion that the issue was of very low risk significance (Green). The analyst determined that there was additional margin to the green-white threshold because: 1) the analysis assumed that the injection flows from the SIT and the high pressure injection system on one of four paths were completely failed when there would likely have been some injection flow under postulated break conditions, 2) the potential break size was limited to only a portion of the possible spectrum of small break loss of coolant accident (SBLOCA) sizes due to the physical size of the pipe, and 3) this issue was an isolated example, unlike other recent RCS leaks that have occurred in the industry which were of a repetitive and long-standing nature. The inspectors concluded the finding was associated with the cross-cutting aspect of procedural adherence (H.8) in the human performance area because maintenance personnel did not adhere to work order instructions concerning the dimensions of the vent valve assembly.
Enforcement:
10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion V, "Instructions, Procedures, and Drawings," requires, in part, that activities affecting quality shall be prescribed by documented instructions, procedures, or drawings, of a type appropriate to the circumstances; and shall be accomplished in accordance with these instructions, procedures, or drawings. Contrary to the above, on March 17, 2014, the licensee failed to accomplish WO 40196531-04 instructions to install ECCS cold leg injection vent valve V3811 with 3-1/8 in. clearance between the cold leg injection header and the bottom of the valve. This created stress risers in the pipe wall that resulted in a through-wall leak and inoperability of the ECCS Class 1 pressure boundary. The licensee entered the issue into the corrective action program (CAP) as action request (AR) 01980340 and completed immediate corrective action to repair V3811 and restore the correct weld configuration on July 28, 2014.

.4 Annual Sample Review: Design Basis Review for Unit 2 Steam Generator Tube-to-Tubesheet Joint
a. Inspection Scope
The inspectors selected AR 01955927, "Root Cause Evaluation: Unit 2 S/G Hot Leg Foreign Object," and AR 02011678, "Design Basis Review for Steam Generator Tubesheet Design," for a more in-depth review of the circumstances and licensee's evaluation. The AR reports were reviewed to verify that the licensee had planned, and/or implemented, corrective actions commensurate with the significance of the identified issue. The inspectors evaluated the licensee's assessment of operability for the Unit 2 steam generators (SGs), to verify adequate technical justification for operation was provided. The inspectors interviewed plant personnel and evaluated the action request in accordance with the requirements of the licensee's corrective action process, as specified in procedure PI-AA-104-1000, "Corrective Action."
b. Findings and Observations
(Opened) Unresolved ltem 05000389/2014005-02, Design Basis Review for Unit 2 Steam Generator Tube-to-Tubesheet Joint
Introduction:
The inspectors identified an unresolved item (URI) associated with the design of the tube-to-tubesheet joint for the Unit 2 replacement SGs.
Description:
In April 2014, the channel head of Unit 2 SG-2B experienced impingement damage in the hot leg side, due to a foreign object in the reactor coolant system. The extent of the damage included impingement marks on the tube-to-tubesheet welds. The licensee entered the issue in the CAP as AR 01955927. The inspectors reviewed the licensee's one-cycle operability evaluation for this condition (Areva Report 51-9222481-000) to verify that the licensee provided adequate technical justification demonstrating that the SG would be capable of performing its design function, particularly to maintain tube integrity, during the current cycle. The inspectors did not identify an issue of concern with the licensee's operability conclusions, but issued a URI to determine if the foreign material intrusion issue constituted a performance deficiency and/or a violation of NRC requirements. In October 2014, the NRC closed the URI with a non-cited violation for the failure to follow the requirements in reactor vessel maintenance procedures. The inspectors' review and disposition of this issue was documented in NRC Inspection Report 05000389/2014004 (ADAMS Accession Number ML14293A668).
From October to December 2014, the inspectors had further discussions with the licensee, and reviewed the planned corrective actions to address Unit 2 SG-2B operability for future plant operating cycles. In their review, the inspectors identified an issue of concern related to the design approach for the tube-to-tubesheet welds in the Unit 2 replacement SGs. Specifically, the licensee's operability evaluation addressing the impingement damage for the current cycle described the weld at the end of each tube as a "seal weld," without further discussion about the structural function of the weld.
The inspectors determined that it was necessary to confirm whether the Unit 2 SG tube end welds were credited in the structural analysis of the tube-to-tubesheet joint under design basis loads. The inspectors determined that additional information from the SG vendor was needed to understand the design approach and qualification for the tube-to-tubesheet joint, including the welds.
This issue of concern with the tube-to-tubesheet welds did not adversely affect the licensee's operability conclusions for the current cycle. The operability evaluation for SG-2B contained technical data from the vendor to demonstrate that the tube structural integrity and primary-to-secondary leakage criteria would not be challenged due to the performance of the mechanically expanded portion of the tube inside the tubesheet. The licensee provided sufficient information about the tube-to-tubesheet joint design to provide reasonable assurance that the joint, considering the impingement damage to the tube end welds, would meet the performance criteria for SG tube integrity required in the plant's Technical Specifications.
This issue is unresolved pending review of additional information from the licensee on the specific design and qualification approach for the Unit 2 SG tube-to-tubesheet joint, particularly the tube end weld. The licensee communicated to the inspectors that this issue only applies to Unit 2 because the tube-to-tubesheet welds of Unit 1 SGs were designed as structural welds, with no credit for the tube-to-tubesheet expansion. The inspectors will address the extent of this condition for Unit 1 SGs as part of the resolution of this issue. The licensee entered this issue in the CAP as AR 02011678, "Design Basis Review for Steam Generator Tubesheet Design." This issue will be tracked as URI 05000389/2014005-02, "Design Basis Review for Unit 2 Steam Generator Tube-to-Tubesheet Joint."
4OA3 Followup of Events and Notice of Enforcement Discretion
.1 Unit 2 Manually Tripped Due to Loss of Feed to B Steam Generator
On November 12, 2014, Unit 2 was operating at approximately 100 percent RTP when the control room operators noticed a lowering B steam generator water level due to closing of a MFIV. The operators initiated a manual reactor trip when the B steam generator water level reached 50 percent as indicated on the narrow range water level instruments. Further reduction of water level to 35 percent would have resulted in an automatic reactor trip. The inspectors were notified of the reactor trip and responded to the control room to assess plant conditions and determine if any complications occurred during the trip and reactor plant shutdown. The inspector observed Unit 2 control room activities following the shutdown to hot standby. The inspector reviewed control room chronological logs, control room indications, post trip procedures, and interviewed control room operators to verify that operating restrictions and procedural requirements were met. The inspector observed control room operator communications, procedure place keeping, and control room annunciator responses by the reactor operators at the control boards. The inspector reviewed documentation and operator actions associated with licensee emergency operating procedures 2-EOP-01, Standard Post Trip Actions, and 2-EOP-02, Reactor Trip Recovery. Licensee troubleshooting determined that a high resistive short across two terminals for a relay associated with the MFIV caused the valve to slowly close. The short appeared to be caused by a buildup of corrosion products between the terminals. The shorted relay terminals resulted in a B steam generator MFIV closing and lowering steam generator water level. Corrective actions included: replacement of two relays and sealing of all conduits connected to the four MFIV relay boxes. On November 18, the reactor was restarted subsequent to replacement of several relays and sealing of the MFIV relay box. The inspectors observed portions of the restart activities.
.2 (Discussed) Licensee Event Report (LER) 05000389/2014-001-00, Unit Shut Down due to Leak on Safety Injection Tank Vent Valve Piping
On June 22, 2014, Unit 2 was operating at 100 percent power, when the licensee received indications of a leak inside primary containment. Based on a trend review of level in the 2B1 SIT and increased readings on containment particulate process radiation monitors, the licensee concluded the leak was associated with piping in communication with the 2B1 SIT. After several containment entries, on July 25, 2014 the licensee obtained detailed video imaging that confirmed the leak was on a one-inch pipe between the ECCS cold leg injection header and vent valve V3811. The licensee subsequently performed a reactor shutdown and replaced the V3811 vent valve assembly. The licensee performed a root cause evaluation, which determined that the root cause of the event was due to the failure to install the vent valve assembly in accordance with the instructions contained in the work order, which directed the valve assembly to be welded as specified by isometric drawing 2998-C-124, Sheet SI-64, revision 15. The dimensions of the piping associated with the valve assembly were not in accordance with the drawing. The licensee also determined that a contributing cause to the event was the failure of the maintenance personnel and the non-destructive examination (NDE) inspector to verify the dimensions of the field-cut pipe nipple before the vent valve assembly was welded to the ECCS inlet header. The inspectors reviewed the LER. The inspectors evaluated the accuracy of the information submitted in the LER, and the licensee's conformance with regulatory requirements. The inspectors evaluated the licensee's root cause evaluation as well as the corrective actions to determine if the actions appropriately addressed the causes that were identified in the licensee's root cause evaluation. A Green non-cited violation associated with the circumstances that resulted in the formation of the leak is discussed in Section
4OA2 of this report. The
licensee is currently evaluating a supplement to the LER. This LER will remain open until the inspectors have reviewed any changes to the revised LER.
4OA6 Meetings
