EXECUTIVE SUMMARY *
South Texas Project, Units 1 and 2 NRC Inspection Report 50-498/96-07;50-499/95-07 This resident inspection included aspects of licensee operations, engineering, maintenance, and plant support. The report covers a 6-week period of resident inspectio Ooerations
- Operators continued to perform professionally with an appropriate focus on reactor safety (Section 01.1).
e Shift turnover activities were attended by managers on a routine basis. Turnover information continued to be detailed, clear, and concise (Section 01.1).
e Material condition of the equipment and cleanliness of plant spaces were considered to be excellent with two isolated examples where housekeeping could have been better (Section O2.1, R1.1, P2).
e A decision to abandon the use of dialindicators for MOV position indication in 1989 was not captured in the training program for nonlicensed reactor operators (Section !
02.1). Licensed operators and the system engineer failed to identify the significance of leakage from the emergency core cooling system into the fuel handling building (Section 02.2).
Maintenance
- Maintenance and surveillance activities were professionally performed by knowledgeable mechanics and technicians (Sections M1.1 and M1.2).
Engineerino
- The design change and associated calculations performed in support of a piping support anomaly in the emergency core cooling system were determined to be acceptable following a detailed review (Section E1.1).
Plant Sucoort
- Radiological controls in the Unit 1 reac' tor containment building were good and housekeeping was considered excellent (Section R1.1).

l Using Inspection Procedure 71707, the inspectors routinely observed conduct of ;
operations in the Units 1 and 2 control rooms. Daily control board walkdowns, I attendance at shift turnover meetings, observations of operator performance, and reviews of control room logs and documentation, were performe Observations and Findinas During routine observations and interviews, the inspectors determined that the control room operators were continually aware of existing plant condition ;
Operators responded to annunciator alarms in accordance with approved ]
procedures. Annunciator alarms were promptly announced to the control room staff who, in turn, acknowledged with repeat backs. The unit supervisors remained cognizant of ongoing activitie The inspectors routinely attended shift turnovers. The on-shift operators provided clear and concise information to the oncoming operators. Oncoming operators routinely reviewed the control room logs. Plant mangers and operations managers were often observed attending shift turnover meeting On September 21, during the night shift, the inspector observed an operations staff meeting in the Unit 1 control room conducted by the shift supervisor. The meeting provided a good forum for exchange of information about ongoing activities with good feedback from the reactor plant operators. The site was under a tornado watch and, as a result, the awareness of the condition of equipment within the protected area was emphasize On iieptember 23, the inspector observed the Unit 1 unit supervisor conducting a prejob briefing for a containment entry in accordance with Plant Surveillance Procedure OPSP03-XC-0002, Revision 10, " Containment inspection." The briefing

O2.1 Plant Tours (Units 1 and 2)
i Insoection Scope (71707)
The inspectors toured portions of the accessible plant areas in Units 1 and 2 on a daily basis. Areas of special attention during this inspection period included:
- Turbine generator building in Unit * Essential cooling water building for Unit * Fuel handling building emergency core cooling pump rooms in Units 1 and * Fuel handling building spent fuel pool cooling and cleanup . system pump and valve rooms in Unit * Protected area yar Observations and Findinas On September 17,1996, the inspector performed a detailed walkdown of the emergency core cooling water system suction piping and the associated supports and structural members. The system alignment matched the valve positions
, indicated on Piping and Instrumentation Diagram SN129F05013, Sheet 1, " Safety injection System." Hangers and supports were properly aligned, and piping components were in good condition. In general, system components were in excellent material condition. One piping support anomaly was identified and reviewed as documented in Section E1.1.b'of this inspection repor The inspector also noted during the walkoown that the local position indicator for several safety-related motor-operated valves (MOVs), including Safety injection Minimum Flow Recirculation Line Isolation Valves 1-MOV S10013A, 1-MOV-S10013B,1-MOV-Sl0013C,1-MOV-S10014A,1-MOV-S100148, and 1 MOV-S10014C, did not accurately reflect the position of the valves. The position indicator consisted of e small dial on the side of the MOV housing. The system

-3-engineer stated that they had previously evaluated the inaccurate position indicators in 1989 and determined that they would not be used. He also stated that operators had been trained to know that these MOV position indicators were inaccurate and should not be relied upo Two reactor plant operators were interviewed to determine what indication would be used to determine the position of a valve. In both cases, the reactor plant operators stated that, if the valve had a dial indicator, they would refer to that indication. The inspectors also interviewed current control room operators and verified that they were aware that the dial indicators were not to be used. The inspectors verified that operators were informed in 1989 of the decision to abandon the use of the dial indicators. However, this information was not captured in the training program for the nonficensed reactor plant operators. The inspectors could find no evidence that the training program had advised against using these indicators for valve position determination. Discussions with the lead trainer for reactor plant operators disclosed that neither the training plans nor the qualification cards contained information which would alert the reactor plant operators of the inoperable localindicator dials. The inspector informed the shift supervisor that a discrepancy existed between the decision to not use the dialindicators and the knowledge that the reactor plant operators expressed regarding the use of the dial indicators. He acknowledged the concern and ensured that other shift supervisors communicated this to each operating crew. The training department was also informe The inspectors also verified that the lack of knowledge concerning the use of the dialindicators did not represent a potential for misdiagnosing the correct position of a valve. This was accomplished by reviewing applicable operating procedures to verify that nonlicensed operators would not be required to verify valve positions by the sole use of dialindicators. There were no requirements identified which would cause this to happen. As such, the concern was indicative of a failure to capture previously disseminated engineering knowledge into the training program for nonlicensed operator On September 20, the inspector performed a walkdown of the accessible portions of the spent fuel pool cooling and cleanup system in Unit 2. System operability was verified by assuring that valve, electrical, and control board alignments were in the correct positions. Equipment condition was good and no leakage was noted. Area housekeeping was excellent. Only minor discrepancies were identified and reported to the control room shift superviso On September 21, during night shift, the inspector observed a reactor plant operator ,

, During a routine inspection of the emergency core cooling system, the inspectors
- questioned the potential for leakage from system valves to cause increased offsite doses following a postulated large-break loss of con! ant accident. On ,
September 11,1996, resident inspectors determined that a valve in the emergency 1 core cooling system had been leaking into the fuel handling building since February 22,1996. This condition, the circumstances surrounding its identification,
{ and the safety significance were reviewed.
, Observations and Findinas Condition Report 96 2271 was written on February 22,1996, to document that ;
water was leaking into the fuel handling building sump from the emergency core
>
cooling system. The condition report designated the leak as a material condition
, which needed to be repaired. This designation, CAO-D, did not require a review for operability or reportability. Based on the historical pumping rate from the sump and
.
decreases in refueling water storage tank water level, licensed operators had quantified the leakage at approximately 300 gallons per day (gpd). Operators had documented that the leakage was assumed to be seat leakage through Pump Suction Relief Valve 2-PSV-394 The system engineer informed the inspector that the relief valve had been scheduled for repairs in 1997. The inspector determined that the estimated leakage from the valve was greater than the design leak rate of 4,140 cubic centimeters per hour documented in Table 15.6-12 of the Updated Final Safety Analysis Report (UFSAR).
The inspector noted that the estimated leak rate of 300 gpd was clearly in excess
, of the approximately 26 gpd maximum leak rate designated in the UFSAR for all
<
components in the three engineered safety features trains. UFSAR
< Section 15.6.5.3.2 describes leakage from engineered safety features components
-
located in the fuel handling building as a potential source of fission product leakage
- following a loss of coolant accident. When informed of this by the inspector, the licensed operators declared Train C of the emergency core cooling system
. inoperable and deenergized the associated containment sump suction valve in the
'
closed position. The leaking valve was later determined to be the Train C high head safety injection pump discharge flush line valve,1-SI-0120C. The valve was cut
- out and replaced.

5- !
On October 4,1996, licensee engineers made a preliminary determination that the identified leakage from Valva 1 SI-0120C would have resulted in exceeding the thyroid dose limits of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix A, General Design Criterion 19,in the Technical Support Center and in the control room. A 1-hour, nonemergency I notification was made in accordance with 10 CFR 50.72 (b)(1)(ii)(B), because the l condition was determined to be outside the design basis of the plant. Additional analyses performed by the licensee engineers since that time indicated that control room operator doses would have remained within General Design Criterion 19 limit However, these new analyses change the initial evaluation by utilizing the actual j
, nasured primary containment leakage rate and not the ma ! mum allowable j i containment leakage rate utilized in the accident analyses and referenced in the Technical Specifications. The adequacy of using the measured leakage rate instead i of the maximum allowable rate has not been reviewe l 4 i
'
i Conclusions
,
Licensed operators and the system engineer failed to identify that leakage from the emergency core cooling system into the fuel handling building was significant and failed to correct the problem in a timely manner. At the end of this inspection
- period, the inspectors were continuing to review the adequacy of the licensee's j
analyses, which were used to retract the nonemergency notification and to find that
- General Design Criterion 19 limits were not exceeded. Therefore, this issue will remain open and will be tracked as Unresolved item (URI) 498

The inspectors identified a structural support anomaly in the Train A emergency core cooling system. A review of design change documents and engineering !
calculations supporting the ecceptability of the anomaly was conducte ' Observations and Findinas On September 17,1996, the inspector noted that a piping support bracket on the Train A emergency core cooling system containment sump suction piping was of a different design than the equivalent support for the Trains B and C piping. Since the Train A support did not appear to be as robust as the other supports, the inspector reviewed the associated design calculations. A review of Field Change Request DJ-08125 indicated that the piping support was initially intended to be identical to those on the other trains. However, since the piping was installed slightly offset from the centerline of the wall embed plate, a redesign of the support was required. Engineering Calculation JC-SI-9101-550008 was generated to evaluate the new design. The inspector reviewed the calculation and determined that the design of the support bracket and the weld were acceptable, Conclusion The inspector determined that the licensee's calculation associated with a redesigned support bracket for the conteinment sump recirculation piping was acceptabl . _ _ _ . __- _ . _ . _ _ .__ ..__ _ . _ _. _ _ ._ _

The inspectors routinely toured the RCAs in Units 1 and 2. These tours included observation of work, verification of proper radiological work permits, sampling of locked doors, and observations of entrance and egress from the RCA Observations and Findinas
'
On September 17,1996, the inspectors observed an extension ladder laying across bags labeled as radiological materials in the fuel handling building radiological waste truck bay. The inspectors reported the ladder to a health physics technician who was in the area. The technician stated that the ladder was not properly stored and ;
immediately moved the ladder to its proper storage locatio On September 24, the inspectors toured the accessible portions of the Unit 1 reactor containment building with a health physics technician. Housekeeping was ;
excellent and no loose debris was observed. The technician was knowledgeable ,
about radiological conditions and work in progress inside the containment buildin ; Conclusions Implementation of radiological controls in the Unit 1 reactor containment building were very good and housekeeping was excellent with one isolated exceptio ,
P2 Status of EP Facilities, Equipment, and Resources (71750)
On September 23, the inspector toured the Unit 1 Technical Support Center (TSC).
The facility was in a good emergency readiness state with ne substantive !
discrepancies observed. Minor discrepancies were reported to the shift supervisor and immediately corrected. The inspector also toured the TSC load center and air handling equipment room. The drain valve for the TSC Chilled Water Pump 118 discharge pressure indicator was leaking and appeared to have been leaking for a some time, based on the amount of water on the floor. An unsecured hoist was
- also found adjacent to the TSC air handling unit. The inspector notified the shift
!' supervisor of these conditions. On September 25, the inspector revisited the TSC air handling equipment room and verified the correction of the reported !
! discrepancies. The inspector-identified standing wate from the TSC Chilled Water -
- Pump 11B discharge pressure indicator leak was considered an isolated example of
