AUDIT OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL QUALIFICATION OF
, SAFETY-RELATED ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT AT PALO VERDE NUCLEAR GENERATING STATION, UNIT 1
- 1. INTRODUCTION Equipment which is used to perform a necessary safety function must be demonstrated to be capable of maintaining functional operability under all service conditions postulated to occur during its installed life for the time it is required to operate. This requirement, which is embodied in
, General Design Criteria 1 and 4 of Appendix A and Sections III, XI, and XVII of Appendix B to 10 CFR 50, 4 s applicable to equipment located inside as well as outside containment. More detailed requirements and guidance relating to the methods and procedures for demonstrating this capability has been set forth in 10 CFR 50.49, " Environmental Qualification of Electric Equipment Important to Safety for Nuclear Power Plants," and NUREG-0588, " Interim Staff Position on Environmental Qualification of Safety-Related Electrical Equipment." This NUREG supplements IEEE Standard 323-1974, and various NRC Regulatory Guides and industry standards.
On June 28-30, 1983 a team comprised of representatives of the Reliability and Statistics Branch of EG&G Idaho, Inc., and the NRC staff conducted an audit of the environmental qualification of safety-related electrical equipment for Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station Unit 1. The work effort consisted of: (a) a pre-audit review of the licensee's submittal, (b) an audit of the licensee's central files for selected equipment items, and (c) an onsite visual inspection of the equipment items. Qualification deficiencies for individual equipment items are provided in Appendix A. Summaries of the central file reviews are provided in Appendix B.

- 2. BACKGROUND NUREG-0588 was issued in December 1979 to promote a more orderly and systematic implementation of equipment qualification programs by industry E
and to provide guidance to the NRC staff for its use in ongoing licensing reviews. The positions contained in this report provide guidance on (a) how to establish environmental service conditions, (b) how to select methods which are considered appropriate for qualifying equipment in different areas of the plant, and (c) other specific topics such as margin, aging, and documentation.
In February 1980 the NRC requested certain near term Operating License (OL) applicants to review and evaluate the environmental qualification documentation for each item of safety related electric equipment and to identify the degree to which their qualification programs comply with the i staff positions discussed in NUREG-0588. IE Bulletin 79-018 " Environmental Qualification of Class 1E Equipment," issued January 14, 1980, and its
! supplements. dated February 29, September 30, and October 24, 1980 '
established environmental qualification requirements for operating
{ reactors. This bulletin and its supplements were provided to OL applicants for consideration in their review.
j A final rule on environmental qualification of electric equipment important to safety for nuclear power plants became effective on February 22, 1983. This rule, Section 50.49 of 10 CFR Part 50, specifies the requirements to be met for demonstrating the environmental qualification of electrical equipment important to safety located in a j harsh environment. In accordance with 10 CFR 50.49, the eiectrical equipment in Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station Unit 1 may be qualified in accordance with the acceptance criteria specified in Category I of NUREG-0588.
i .'
The qualification requirements for mechanical equipment are -
principally contained in Appendices A and B of 10 CFR 50. The
- qualification methods defined in NUREG-0588 can also be applied to mechanical equipment, i
f 2
In response to the above requirements, the applicant has provided
. equipment qualification information in letters dated February 7,1983 anc June 24, 1983 to supplement the information contained in Section 3.11 of the FSAR.

- 4. SCOPE The scope of this report includes an evaluatio'nof the completeness of the list of equipment to be qualified, the criteria which they must meet, the environments in which they must function, and an assessment of the qualification documentation for the equipment. The principal area of review was the qualification of safety-related equipment which must function in order to prevent or mitigate the consequences of a loss-of-coolant accident (LOCA) or high energy line break (HELB) inside or outside of containment, while subjected to the harsh environments associated with these accidents. It is limited to electric equipment important to safety within the scope of 10 CFR 50.49, and safety related mechanical equipment.
- e 5
- 5. EVALUATION The evaluation of the applicant's environmental qualification program included an onsite examination of electrical equipment, audits of qualification documentation, and a review of the applicant's submittals for '
completeness and acceptability of systems and components, qualification methods, and accident environments. The criteria described in NUREG-0800, Rev. 2, Section 3.11 and NUREG-0588, Category I form the basis for the evaluation of the adequacy of the applicant's qualification program.
Revision 1 of NUREG-0588 was utilized to clarify staff positions as required.
The staff' performed an audit of the applicant's qualification documentation and installed electrical equipment on June 28-30, 1983. The audit consisted of a review of ten files containing equipment qualification documentation. The staff's findings during the audit are discussed in detail in Section 5.4 of this Technical Evaluation Report (TER).
5.1 Completeness of Eouioment Important to Safety The applicant was directed to (a) establish a list of systems ard components that are required to prevent or mitigate a LOCA or an HELS and (b) identify components needed to perform the function of safety related display. instrumentation, post-accident sampling and monitoring, and radiation monitoring.
Based upon information in the applicant's submittal, the staff has verified and determined that the systems included in the applicant's submittal are those required to achieve or support: (a) emergency reactor shutdown, (b) containment isolation, (c) reactor core cooling, (d) containment heat removal, (e) core residual heat removal, and .
(f) prevention of significant release of radioactive material to the environment.
6
In order to comply with 10 CFR 50.49, the following information,must
'be submitted by the applicant prior to granting of an operating license for
~
Palo Verce Unit 1:
- 1. A list of all nonsafety-related electrical equipment, located in a harsh environment, whose failure under postulated environmental conditions could prevent satisfactory accomplishment of safety functions by the safety-related equipment. A description of the methods used to identify this equipment must also be included.
The nonsafety-related equipment identified must be included in the environmental qualification program.
- 2. A statement that all safety-related electrical equipment in a harsh environment, as defined in the scope of 10 CFR 50.49, is included in the list of equipment identified in the Equipment Qualification (EQ) submittal.
- 3. A list of all_ post-accident monitoring equipment currently installed, or that will be installed prior to plan operation, that is specified as Category 1 and 2 in Revision 2 of Regulatory Guide 1.97 and is located in a harsh environment. The equipment identified must be included in the environmental qualification program.
5.2 Qualification Methods 5.2.1 Electrical Equipment in a Harsh Environment Detailed procedures for qualifying safety-related electrical equipment fn a harsh environment are defined in NUREG-0588. The criteria in this NUREG are also applicable to other equipment important to safety as defined in 10 CFR 50.49. Type testing of equipment in a sequence consisting of pre-aging (thermal, radiation, and mechanical), seismic and dynamic loading, and exposure to LOCA/HELB conditions (where applicable) is the preferred method of qualification. However, in a number of cases the 7
applicant has extrapolated partial test data to estaolish equipment
, qualification. A review of this analysis finds the approach to be adequate '
except as noted in this report.
5.3 Service Conditions NUREG-0588 defines the methods to be utilized for determining the environmental conditions associated with loss-of-coolant accidents or high energy line breaks, inside o'r outside of containment. The review and evaluation of the adequacy of these environmental conditions are described.
below. The qualification documentation has been reviewed to ensure that the qualification conditions envelop the conditions established by the applicant.
5.3.1 Temperature, Pressure, and Humidity Conditions Inside the primary Containment The applicant provided the LOCA/MSLB profiles used for equipment qualification. The peak values resulting from these profiles are as follows:
Maximum Maximum Temperature Pressure, Humidity F psig %
LOCA 300 49 100 MSLB 370 41 100 5.3.2 Temperature, Pressure, and Humidity Conditions Outside the Primary Containment The applicant has provided the, temperature, pressure, and humidity conditions associated with high energy line breaks outside containment. A
- screening criterion of saturation temperature at the calculated pressure was used to verify that the parameters identified by the applicant are "'
acceptable. The NRC has previously accepted the HELB analysis in SER Section 3.6.
8 l
5.3.3 Suor.ergence The maximum submergence level established by the applicant is
, 10-1/2 f t. above the containment floor. All safety related equipment subjected to submergence is or will be qualified for the time duration necessary for it to complete it's safety function. The applicant should provide a list of all equipment important to safety subjected to submergence and provide justification that failure of this equipment will not affect the safety function of any other equipment and will not mislead the operator.
The effects of flooding on equipment located outside containment have been evaluated to assure that safety shutdown can be achieved.
5.3.4 Chemical Spray Chemical spray is used for containment heat removal following a design basis accident. The specified composition of the spray is 4400 ppm Boron buffered with 50 ppm hydrazine with a pH of 7.0 to 8.5 using trisodium phosphate. Equipment inside containment was reviewed for qualification under the above condition.
5.3.5 Aging The aging program requirements for Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station (pVNGS) electrical equipment are defined in Section 4, Category I of NUREG-0588. The degrading influences of temperature, radiation, vibration and mechanical stresses should be considered and included in the aging program. This requires the establishment of a qualified life with maintenance and replacement schedules based on the findings.
- ~
5.3.6 Radiation (Inside and Outside Containment)
The applicant has provided values for the radiation levels postulated to ex,ist following a LOCA. The application and methodology employed to determine these values were presented to the applicant in NUREG-0588 and 9
NUREG-0737, " Clarification of TMI Action Plan Requirements." The review determined that the values to which equipment was qualified enveloped the
- requirements identified by the applicant.
The value specified for use in equipment qualification in the containment is 3.3 x 107 rads gamma and 1 x 10 8 to 2 x 108 rads 0
beta. In the auxiliary building, a value of 6.4 x 10 rads gamma has been utilized in areas with recirculatory fluid lines.
5.4 Environmental Qualification Audit An audit was conducted of the applicant's qualification documentation and installed equipment on June 28-30, 1983. Ten equipment items were reviewed to determine if the test data and analyses in the' files supported the qualification status determined by the applicant. The following comments, excluding the open items already covered previously in this TER, were made during the. audit:
- 1. The files were poorly arranged and pertinent information was neither included nor referenced.
- 2. During the plant walkdown the applicant was unable to locate two items (Rockbestos cables inside containment and the pre-amplifier for the Excore Detector). One item (ASCO Solenoid valve) didn't have a. nameplate attached.
- 3. The applicant is using 30 days post accident operability time for most equipment items. Only one equipment item (HPCS pump motor) has been identified to have an operability time of 4 months. The
~
applicant's justification for using 30 days post-accident operability time is under review.
- 4. Ten files were reviewed during the audit. Several comments were .
made on these files. The applicant was informed during the exit interview that these comments should also be applied to other files, if applicable.
l l 10
l The comments on specific files are as follows: .
- 1. Rockbestos Cable (13EM-058) o According to Test Report E058-13-4, Radiation Aging was finished by July 1976 while the DBA test was not done until February 1978. What happened in between?
o Temperature and pressure profiles do not envelop the required profiles. No explanation is provided in the files regarding the acceptability of these profiles.
o Margin is not included for the temperature and pressure parameters. Justification is not provided in the file.
o Operability time required is for 30 days while the test duration was only 16 days. How was the 30 days operability time with margin achieved?
o The status of the cable in the submittal and in the file is defined as qualified, however, Arizona Public Service (APS) has not approved the file.
o The checksheet should identify the applicability of different test reports, e.g., test report E058-40-3 is not applicable to Palo Verde but is kept in the files only for reference and E058-39-3 is applicable only for outside containment.
o Although an outstanding deviation report was issued by the APS for the subject cable, the status of the report was still defined as qualified.
o The file was not arranged in a logical manner and much correspondence related to qualification was not -included in the file.
11
(
r.
- 2. ASCO Solenoid Valve o The aging analysis did not take into account the temperature rise for the solenoid valve because of the energized '
condition. During the plant walkdown a thermometer was placed on the surface of the solenoid ana a temperature of 141.4*F was noted while the ambient temperature was only 98 F. It should be noted that 141.4 F was only the surface temperature. The temperature inside the valve (coil and seat) will be higher than this value. The aging analysis should take into account the temperature rise because of the energized condition.
o There are three test reports included for the solenoid valve; however the information relating one test report to 2
another could not be easily followed. The checksheet should refer to a specific report and paragraph where the utilized information is located. Also if report AQS 2768 is used for outside containment only, then it should be so stated.
- 3. Feedwater Isolation Valve Solenoid Valve o The qualification testing does not envelop the required pressure profile. The steam test was done at atmospheric pressure while the required pressure was 21 psig. The file didn't justify the deficiency in the test report.
4 Rotork A C Motor Operators o The applicant used the data identified as the specified test environment as the qualification data and not the actual .
test data. -
o The number of test cycles used in the applicants analysis was not the actual number of cycles performed on the valve.
12 l
l' t
l I
l o The 10 C rule was used for aging analysis without any justification.
- 5. RTO's and Thermocouples (Weed Inst.)
o 005 #41 states that the review of the file is complete and the only outstanding item is related to submergence.
However, the checklist in the file identified many open items which are not resolved. It is recommended to change the status to not qualified unless all the items are identified on the Qualification Data Sheet (QDS). The review of the report was not conducted because of many open items.
4
- 6. Pneumatic Low Leakage Damper o Why was the test sequence of radiation aging before thermal aging used especially since radiation is the only harsh environment (excluding seismic)?
- 7. Barton Transmitter o The correspondence between the applicant and Barton about the possible problem with lead corrosion and applicant's resolution of the problem should be included in the qualification file.
The resolution of the concerns identified above must be provided 60 cays prior to issuance of an operating license.
5.5 Outstanding Equipment For safety-related items not having complete qualification documentation, the applicant has provided commitments for corrective action and schedules for completion. For items not expected to have full qualification, analyses will be performed in accordance with paragraph (i) 13
- .. , _ - - -- . -. .. . - . . . ~ - -. . . - . . . - . .
of 10 CFR 50.49 to ensure that the plant can be operated safely cending completion of environmental qualification. These analyses must be *
- submitted prior.to granting of an operating license. Section 5.1 discusses
{ additional equipment which may require qualification based on JU 10 CFR 50.49. These items must be identified and included in the

APPENDIX B SUMMARIES OF CENTRAL FILE REVIEWS ROSEMOUNT PRESSURE TRANSMITTER, MODEL NO.1153GB9 PLANT I.D. NO. J-AFB-PT-17 This transmitter is located in the main steam support structure and provides auxiliary feedwater pump discharge pressure indications to the control room.
The specified accident environmental parameters are: temperature, 5
120*F; relative humidity, 90%; radiation,1 x 10 rads; and an operacility time of 30 days.
Testing of an identical model is recorded in Rosemount Reports No. 108026, No. 108025 Rev. A, and other supplemental reports. Thermal aging was done at 203*F for 69 days, yielding a qualified life of 6.38 years utilizing Arrhenius methodology. Radiation aging was conducted at varying dose rates yielding a total integrated cose of 2.44 x 107 rads T. HELB testing was conducted at a peak temperature of 318*F and a peak pressure of 72'psig.
It is concluded that the Rosemount Model 1153GB9 is qualified for the environmental parameters specified, and that the applicants file is sufficient to support this conclusion.

SKINNER V5H65590-125V,DC SOLEN 0ID VALVE PLANT I.D. NO. J-SGB-UY-1328 This solenoid valve, which is an accessory to an anchor darling feedwater isolation valve, is located on the main steam support structure.
The feedwater isolation valves and the main steam isolation valves close upon a high energy line break in the main steam or feedwater lines.
The specified accident environmental parameters are: temperature, 300 F for 15 minutes; pressure, 21 psig for 15 minutes; radiation, 1 x 6
10 rads I; and an operability time of 30 days. No submergence parameter is identified.
Testing and analysis on a similar valve are detailed in Anchor Darling Report No. E9023-QR-2, Rev. A Wyle Test Report 43847-2, and various supplements.
Thermal aging at 250*F for 317.6 hrs was conducted on the O.C.
solenoid, and utilizing arrhenius methodology at an ambient temperature of 120*F with 20*F added for conductive and convective heat addition from the process fluid, a qualified life of 2.72 years was calculated. A check of this qualified life in the qualification maintenance program revealed a changeout period of 2.5 years. Radiation aging of the D.C. solenoid was 5
conducced at 2.7 x 10 rads T per hour for a total integrated dose of >
2.5 x 106 rads T.
After seismic excitation, the assembly was subjected to a steam test at 328*F peak temperature at atmospheric pressure. Pressure testing was not done, although an operability test on another valve showed operability at 21 psig in an air atmosphere. The lack of any pressure testing under a .
ste.ra atmosphere remains an open item.
An operability time of 15 minutes to valve closure was based on the -
maximum time to blowdown one steam generator. No documented investigation 30
- of possible valve failure to remain closed after closure and the required
, time was' in the file, however this was addressed satisf actorily during the j audit.
j.
1 It is concluded that the D.C. solenoid valve (and its associated feedwater isolation valve) is not qualified due to lack of pressure testing to the required profile. This remains an open item. In addition, the applicant has several. listed open items.

DIFFERENTIAL PRESSURE TRANSMITTERS BARTON MODEL 764 These transmitters are located in the containment building and are used to measure steam generator differential pressure and pressurizer level. Three of the steam generator DP transmitters are located below flood level, but are not required during a DBE which would cause submergence.
The environmental conditions to which the transmitters could be subjected are: temperature, 370 F; pressure, 60 psig; relative humidity, 1,00*4; radiation, 3.3 x 107 rads T TID and 1.0 x 108 rads S TID; chemical spray, 4400 ppm H3 80 3 , 50 ppm hydrazine, and pH 7.0-8.5; and ,
operability, 30 min for steam generator DP and 30 days for pressurizer level. ole to the short operability requirements of the steam generator DP transmitters submergence was not addressed.
Environmental testing has been performed on this model transmitter and is reported in Barton Report R3-764-9. The maximum environmental conditions to which the tested transmitters were subjected are: temperature, 420*F; pressure, 75 psig; relative humidity satu ated 8
steam / air; radiation, 2 x 10 rads i TID; chemical spray, 2700 ppm H380 3 and pH 10.5; and operability, 100 days. The transmitters were 5
aged for 1830 hours0.0212 days <br />0.508 hours <br />0.00303 weeks <br />6.96315e-4 months <br /> at 257 F and 5 x 10 pressure variation prior to testing. Aging by the Arrhenius methodology is equivalent to greater than 40 years.
During thermal testing, the transmitters experienced a non-repeatability problem at 320*F which affected the accuracy. Combustion Engineering (CE) is reviewing, (a) the Barton tests and documentation which is used to determine the cause of the problem and (b) the corrective action
, ,. proposed oy Barton to correct the problem. This information is contained in the EQ file.
A leakage current path through the shafts of the zero and span
_ potentiometer mounts to the mounting bracket was discovered by Barton.
This resulted in non-repeatability at 320*F. The solution is to 33
install a fiberglass insulator between the potentiometer shafts and the mounting bracket. The fiberglass material is the same as that used in the -
circuit board so its performance under specified conditions is known and previous tests results were not affected.
After DBE testing one transmitter was discovered to have a broken lead. The broken lead, which was thought to have broken during transit from one test facility to another, was sent to another lab for analysis.
It was determined that corrosion, due to chlorine activated flux, sodium trisulfate, and high temperature caused a decrease in the tensile strength of the upper wire. The test lab suggested that the copper wire external to the transmitter core be replaced with a standard stainless steel wire.
This wire should be welded to the iron base through pins of the gland.
There is no information contained in the file as to what the applicant intends to do.
During the audit the applicant stated a letter was sent to Barton addressing the possible lead wire problem, but this letter was not in the file. Also, the applicant stated the transmitters are securely mounted and lead wires which may become brittle or weakened by corrosion will not
, vibrate or move during operational testing. Therefore the stainless steel solder corrections are unnecessary.
In conclusion the transmitters are qualified for their specified environment pending the outcome of the thermal non-repeatability and the corroded lead problems.

ROTORK 7 NAB 1-43 AC MOTOR OPERATORS These motor operators are located in the containment building in the
- auxiliary building. They are used to provide containment isolation in the event of an accident.
The specified environment is: temperature, 370 F; pressure, 60 psig; relative humidity, steam / air mixture; radiation 3.3 x 107 rads TID I, 2 x 108rads TID S; chemical spray, borated water at pH 8.5; and operability time, 30 days. Submergence is not applicable because once the valves operate following an accident, they are not required to operath again.
The~ applicant's review of this file was inadequate, e g., the wrong curve was used for comparison of specified and test environment, and the 10 C rule was used for aging analysis, without justification.
In conclusion, the file does not support qualification of the Rotork AC motor operator.
