SUBJECT: PALISADES NUCLEAR PLANT NRC INTEGRATED INSPECTION REPORT 05000255/2015003

Dear Mr. Vitale:

On September 30, 2015, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed an inspection at your Palisades Nuclear Plant. The enclosed report documents the results of this inspection, which were discussed on October 29, 2015, with you and other members of your staff. Based on the results of this inspection, two NRC-identified findings of very low safety significance were identified. The findings involved violations of NRC requirements. However, because of their very low safety significance, and because the issues were entered into your corrective action program, the NRC is treating the violations as non-cited violations (NCVs) in accordance with Section 2.3.2 of the NRC Enforcement Policy. If you contest the subject or severity of any NCV, you should provide a response within 30 days of the date of this inspection report, with the basis for your denial, to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, ATTN: Document Control Desk, Washington, DC 20555-0001, with a copy to the Regional Administrator, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission-Region III, 2443 Warrenville Road, Suite 210, Lisle, IL 60532-4352; the Director, Office of Enforcement, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555-0001; and the Resident Inspector Office at the Palisades Nuclear Plant. In addition, if you disagree with the cross-cutting aspect assigned to any finding in this report, you should provide a response within 30 days of the date of this inspection report, with the basis for your disagreement, to the Regional Administrator, Region III, and the NRC Resident Inspector at the Palisades Nuclear Plant. In accordance with Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) 2.390, "Public Inspections, Exemptions, Requests for Withholding," of the NRC's "Rules of Practice," a copy of this letter, its enclosure, and your response (if any) will be available electronically for public inspection in the NRC's Public Document Room or from the Publicly Available Records System (PARS) component of the NRC's Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS).

SUMMARY OF FINDINGS

Inspection Report (IR) 05000255/2015003, 07/01/2015-09/30/2015; Palisades Nuclear Plant; Operability Determinations and Functional Assessments; and Radioactive Gaseous and Liquid Effluent Treatment. This report covers a 3-month period of inspection by resident inspectors and announced baseline inspections by regional inspectors. Two Green findings were identified by the inspectors. These findings were considered non-cited violations (NCVs) of U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) regulations. The significance of inspection findings is indicated by their color (i.e., greater than Green, or Green, White, Yellow, Red) and determined using Inspection Manual Chapter (IMC) 0609, "Significance Determination Process," dated April 29, 2015. Cross-cutting aspects are determined using IMC 0310, "Aspects Within the Cross-Cutting Areas," dated December 4, 2014. All violations of NRC requirements are 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, dated February 2014.

Cornerstone: Mitigating Systems

Green.

An NRC-identified finding of very low safety significance and an associated NCV of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion III, "Design Control," was identified for the failure to justify continued service of safety-related electrolytic capacitors that were installed beyond their recommended service life associated with the safety-related containment floor level indicating transmitters (LITs). Specifically, on June 21, 2015, containment floor LIT LIT-0446B and LIT-0446A did not satisfy the acceptance criteria of the technical specification surveillance monthly channel checks and LIT-0446B was declared inoperable. Further troubleshooting identified a failure of the electrolytic capacitor within the transmitter's converter module and that this failure was most likely due to age since the transmitter had been in service for greater than its recommended service life. In addition to entering this issue into their Corrective Action Program (CAP) as CR-PLP-2015-04972, the licensee replaced the failed components and planned to develop a replacement schedule for non-critical, safety-related electrolytic capacitors. The performance deficiency was determined to be more than minor because it was associated with the Equipment Performance attribute of the Mitigating Systems cornerstone and adversely affected the cornerstone objective of ensuring the availability, reliability, and capability of systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences (i.e., core damage). The finding screened as having very low safety significance based on answering "No" to all of the screening questions in the Mitigating Structures, Systems, and Components (SSCs) and Functionality section of IMC 0609, Appendix A, "The Significance Determination Process for Findings At-Power," Exhibit 1, "Mitigating Systems Screening Questions." The finding had a cross-cutting aspect of Operating Experience in the Problem Identification and Resolution cross-cutting area because the licensee did not effectively and thoroughly evaluate and implement relevant industry operating experience and guidance for age-related electrolytic capacitor degradation [P.5]. (Section 1R15)3 Cornerstones: Occupational Radiation Safety and Public Radiation Safety

Green.

A finding of very low safety significance and an associated NCV of Technical Specification (TS) 5.5.1, "Offsite Dose Calculation Manual," was identified for the failure to establish, implement, and maintain the Offsite Dose Calculation Manual (ODCM) relative to dose calculation parameters. Specifically, the licensee failed to modify the parameters used in public radiation calculations when changes in the use of unrestricted areas were identified. As a result, the quarterly and annual doses that were calculated every 31 days, as required by the ODCM, were incorrect and non-conservative. In addition to entering this issue into their CAP as CR-PLP-2015-2972, the licensee recalculated the dose using the correct calculation parameters. The performance deficiency was determined to be more than minor because it was associated with the Program and Process attribute of the Public Radiation Safety cornerstone and adversely affected the cornerstone objective of ensuring the adequate protection of public health and safety from exposure to radioactive materials released into the public domain as a result of routine civilian nuclear reactor operation. The finding was determined to be of very low safety significance in accordance with IMC 0609, Appendix D, "Public Radiation Safety Significance Determination Process," because the issue did not represent a significant deficiency in evaluating a planned or unplanned effluent release since the resulting dose was not grossly underestimated.

The finding had a cross-cutting aspect of Training in the Human Performance cross-cutting area because the licensee did not ensure adequate knowledge transfer to maintain a knowledgeable, technically competent workforce. [H.9] (Section 2RS6)4

REPORT DETAILS

Summary of Plant Status The plant operated at or near full power during the inspection period until August 24, 2015, when the operators entered a coastdown period in preparation for refueling outage (RFO) 1R24.

On September 16, 2015, the unit automatically tripped in response to an electrical failure in the digital electrohydraulic control system. The unit remained shutdown and transitioned into the RFO for the remainder of the inspection period.

REACTOR SAFETY

Cornerstones: Initiating Events, Mitigating Systems, and Barrier Integrity

1R04 Equipment Alignment

.1 Quarterly Partial System Walkdowns

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors performed partial system walkdowns of the following risk-significant systems:

  • 1-2 diesel generator during surveillance of the 1-1 diesel generator; * 'A' train shutdown cooling system during RFO 1R24; and
  • Air system alignment to containment during RFO 1R24. The inspectors selected these systems based on their risk significance relative to the Reactor Safety Cornerstones at the time they were inspected. The inspectors attempted to identify any discrepancies that could impact the function of the system and therefore potentially increase risk. The inspectors reviewed applicable operating procedures, system diagrams, the Updated Final Safety Analysis Report (UFSAR), Technical Specification (TS) requirements, outstanding work orders (WOs), condition reports (CRs), and the impact of ongoing work activities on redundant trains of equipment in order to identify conditions that could have rendered the systems incapable of performing their intended functions. The inspectors also walked down accessible portions of the systems to verify system components and support equipment were aligned correctly and operable. The inspectors examined the material condition of the components and observed operating parameters of equipment to verify that there were no obvious deficiencies. The inspectors also verified that the licensee had properly identified and resolved equipment alignment problems that could cause initiating events or impact the capability of mitigating systems or barriers and entered them into the Corrective Action Program (CAP) with the appropriate significance characterization. Documents reviewed are listed in the Attachment to this report. These activities constituted four partial system walkdown samples as defined in Inspection Procedure (IP) 71111.04-05.

b. Findings

No findings were identified.

.2 Semiannual Complete System Walkdown

a. Inspection Scope

Between July 21 and August 12, 2015, the inspectors performed a complete system alignment inspection of the service water system to verify the functional capability of the system. This system was selected because it was considered both safety-significant and risk-significant in the licensee's probabilistic risk assessment. The inspectors walked down the system to review mechanical and electrical equipment lineups; electrical power availability; system pressure and temperature indications; component labeling; component lubrication; component and equipment cooling; hangers and supports; operability of support systems; and to ensure that ancillary equipment or debris did not interfere with equipment operation. A review of a sample of past and outstanding WOs was performed to determine whether any deficiencies significantly affected the system function. In addition, the inspectors reviewed the CAP database to ensure that system equipment alignment problems were being identified and appropriately resolved. Documents reviewed are listed in the Attachment to this report. These activities constituted one complete system walkdown sample as defined in IP 71111.04-05.

b. Findings

No findings were identified.

1R05 Fire Protection

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors conducted fire protection walkdowns which were focused on the availability, accessibility, and the condition of firefighting equipment in the following risk-significant plant areas:

  • Fire Area 16: component cooling water (CCW) pump room;
  • Fire Area 9: screenhouse;
  • Fire Area 10: east engineered safeguards room;
  • Risk-significant fire areas during the higher risk plant operating state #1 of RFO 1R24;
  • Fire Areas 29, 30, and 31: electrical and mechanical equipment rooms; and
  • Fire Area 6: diesel generator 1-2 and fuel oil day tank room. The inspectors reviewed areas to assess if the licensee had implemented a fire protection program that adequately controlled combustibles and ignition sources within the plant, effectively maintained fire detection and suppression capability, maintained passive fire protection features in good material condition, and implemented adequate compensatory measures for out-of-service, degraded, or inoperable fire protection equipment, systems, or features in accordance with the licensee's fire plan.

The inspectors selected fire areas based on their overall contribution to internal fire risk as documented in the plant's Individual Plant Examination of External Events with later additional insights, their potential to impact equipment which could initiate or mitigate a plant transient, or their impact on the plant's ability to respond to a security event.

Using the documents listed in the Attachment to this report, the inspectors verified that fire hoses and extinguishers were in their designated locations and available for immediate use; that fire detectors and sprinklers were unobstructed; that transient material loading was within the analyzed limits; and fire doors, dampers, and penetration seals appeared to be in satisfactory condition. The inspectors also verified that minor issues identified during the inspection were entered into the licensee's CAP.

These activities constituted six quarterly fire protection inspection samples as defined in IP 71111.05-05.

b. Findings

No findings were identified.

1R06 Flooding

.1 Internal Flooding

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors reviewed selected risk-important plant design features and licensee procedures intended to protect the plant and its safety-related equipment from internal flooding events. The inspectors reviewed flood analyses and design documents, including the UFSAR, engineering calculations, and abnormal operating procedures to identify licensee commitments. The inspectors also reviewed the licensee's corrective action documents with respect to past flood-related items identified in the CAP to verify the adequacy of the corrective actions. The inspectors performed a walkdown of the following plant area to assess the adequacy of watertight doors and verify drains and sumps were clear of debris and were operable, and that the licensee complied with its commitments:

  • cable spreading room. Documents reviewed during this inspection are listed in the Attachment to this report. This inspection constituted one internal flooding sample as defined in IP 71111.06-05.

b. Findings

No findings were identified.

.2 Underground Vaults

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors selected underground bunkers/manholes subject to flooding that contained cables whose failure could disable risk-significant equipment. The inspectors determined whether the cables were submerged, whether splices were intact, and whether appropriate cable support structures were in place. In those areas where dewatering devices were used, such as a sump pump, the inspectors determined whether the device was operable and level alarm circuits were set appropriately to ensure that the cables would not be submerged. In those areas without dewatering devices, the inspectors verified that drainage of the area was available, or that the cables were qualified for submerged conditions. The inspectors also reviewed the licensee's corrective action documents with respect to past submerged cable issues identified in the CAP to verify the adequacy of the corrective actions. The inspectors performed a walkdown of the following underground bunkers/manholes subject to flooding:

  • Manhole #4 and Manhole #8. Documents reviewed are listed in the Attachment to this report. This inspection constituted one underground vaults sample as defined in IP 71111.06-05.

b. Findings

No findings were identified.

1R11 Licensed Operator Requalification Program

.1 Resident Inspector Quarterly Review of Licensed Operator Requalification

a. Inspection Scope

On August 5, 2015, the inspectors observed a crew of licensed operators in the plant's simulator during licensed operator requalification training. The inspectors verified that operator performance was adequate, evaluators were identifying and documenting crew performance problems, and that training was being conducted in accordance with licensee procedures. The inspectors evaluated the following areas:

  • licensed operator performance;
  • crew's clarity and formality of communications;
  • the ability to take timely actions in the conservative direction;
  • prioritization, interpretation, and verification of annunciator alarms;
  • correct use and implementation of abnormal and emergency procedures;
  • control board manipulations;
  • oversight and direction from supervisors; and
  • the ability to identify and implement appropriate TS actions and Emergency Plan actions and notifications. Crew performance in these areas was compared to pre-established operator action expectations and successful critical task completion requirements. Documents reviewed are listed in the Attachment to this report. This inspection constituted one quarterly licensed operator requalification program simulator sample as defined in IP 71111.11-05.

b. Findings

No findings were identified.

.2 Resident Inspector Quarterly Observation During Periods of Heightened Activity or Risk

a. Inspection Scope

On September 16, 2015, the inspectors observed a reactor cooldown to Mode 5 following a reactor trip. This was an activity that required heightened awareness or was related to increased risk. The inspectors evaluated the following areas:

  • licensed operator performance;
  • the crew's clarity and formality of communications;
  • ability to take timely actions in the conservative direction;
  • prioritization, interpretation, and verification of annunciator alarms;
  • correct use and implementation of procedures;
  • control board manipulations;
  • oversight and direction from supervisors; and
  • the ability to identify and implement appropriate TS actions and Emergency Plan actions and notifications. Performance in these areas was compared to pre-established operator action expectations, procedural compliance, and task completion requirements. Documents reviewed are listed in the Attachment to this report. This inspection constituted one quarterly licensed operator heightened activity/risk sample as defined in IP 71111.11-05.

b. Findings

No findings were identified.

1R12 Maintenance Effectiveness

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors evaluated degraded performance issues involving the following risk-significant system:

  • containment personnel inner air lock door. The inspectors reviewed events including those in which ineffective equipment maintenance resulted in valid or invalid automatic actuations of engineered safeguards systems and independently verified the licensee's actions to address system performance or condition problems in terms of the following:
  • implementing appropriate work practices;
  • identifying and addressing common cause failures;
  • scoping of systems in accordance with Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) 50.65(b) of the maintenance rule;
  • characterizing system reliability issues for performance;
  • charging unavailability for performance;
  • trending key parameters for condition monitoring;
  • verifying appropriate performance criteria for structures, systems, and components (SSCs)/functions classified as (a)(2), or appropriate and adequate goals and corrective actions for systems classified as (a)(1). The inspectors assessed performance issues with respect to the reliability, availability, and condition monitoring of the system. In addition, the inspectors verified maintenance effectiveness issues were entered into the CAP with the appropriate significance characterization. Documents reviewed are listed in the Attachment to this report. This inspection constituted one quarterly maintenance effectiveness sample as defined in IP 71111.12-05.

b. Findings

No findings were identified.

1R13 Maintenance Risk Assessments and Emergent Work Control

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors reviewed the licensee's evaluation and management of plant risk for the maintenance and emergent work activities affecting risk-significant and safety-related equipment listed below to verify that appropriate risk assessments were performed prior to removing equipment for work:

  • breaker 72-13, 'A' primary coolant pump (PCP) direct current oil lift pump, removal;
  • purification demineralizer filter replacement;
  • diving in the spent fuel pool tilt pit;
  • reduced inventory period #1 during RFO; and
  • emergent work to uncouple control rod drive 11. These activities were selected based on their potential risk significance relative to the Reactor Safety Cornerstones. As applicable for each activity, the inspectors verified that risk assessments were performed as required by 10 CFR 50.65(a)(4) and were accurate and complete. When emergent work was performed, the inspectors verified that the plant risk was promptly reassessed and managed. The inspectors reviewed the scope of maintenance work, discussed the results of the assessment with the licensee's probabilistic risk analyst or shift technical advisor, and verified plant conditions were consistent with the risk assessment. The inspectors also reviewed TS requirements and walked down portions of redundant safety systems, when applicable, to verify risk analysis assumptions were valid and applicable requirements were met. Documents reviewed are listed in the Attachment to this report. These maintenance risk assessments and emergent work control activities constituted five samples as defined in IP 71111.13-05.

b. Findings

No findings were identified.

1R15 Operability Determinations and Functional Assessments

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors reviewed the following issues:

  • primary cooling system (PCS) branch connection weld inspection calculation errors;
  • fuel oil transfer system operability; * 'A' PCP decreasing lower bearing oil level trend; and
  • containment level indicating transmitter (LIT) capacitor failure. The inspectors selected these potential operability issues based on the risk significance of the associated components and systems. The inspectors evaluated the technical adequacy of the evaluations to ensure that TS operability was properly justified and the subject component or system remained available such that no unrecognized increase in risk occurred. The inspectors compared the operability and design criteria in the appropriate sections of the TS and UFSAR to the licensee's evaluations to determine whether the components or systems were operable. Where compensatory measures were required to maintain operability, the inspectors determined whether the measures in place would function as intended and were properly controlled. The inspectors determined, where appropriate, compliance with bounding limitations associated with the evaluations. Additionally, the inspectors reviewed a sample of corrective action documents to verify that the licensee was identifying and correcting any deficiencies associated with operability evaluations. Documents reviewed are listed in the Attachment to this report. This operability inspection constituted three samples as defined in IP 71111.15-05. The sample for the weld inspection calculation error was accounted for in Inspection Report (IR) 05000255/2015012.

b. Findings

Introduction.

An NRC-identified finding of very low safety significance (Green) and an associated Non-Cited Violation (NCV) of 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion III, "Design Control," was identified for the failure to justify continued service of safety-related electrolytic capacitors installed beyond their recommended service life associated with containment floor LITs LIT-0446B and LIT-0446A.

Description.

During the performance of monthly operations TS surveillance test MO-45, "Control Room Channel Checks," on June 21, 2015, LIT-0446B, the 'B' containment LIT, was found to be indicating below the acceptance criteria minimum required value. The transmitter was declared inoperable in accordance with TS 3.3.7, "Post Accident Monitoring," since the accuracy over the entire level span of the instrument was considered degraded such that it could no longer perform its function to accurately monitor containment water level as specified by Regulatory Guide 1.97. These containment LITs are relied upon in the plant's emergency operating procedures to ensure adequate net positive suction head for emergency core cooling system (ECCS) pumps following receipt of a recirculation actuation signal (RAS).

On July 16, 2015, further troubleshooting was conducted and determined that the electrolytic capacitor within the transmitter's converter module failed and the most likely cause of the capacitor failure was operation beyond the component's service life since the LITs had been in service for greater than 10 years. Entergy subsequently submitted letter PNP 2015-058 to the NRC on August 3, 2015, reporting this information as required by TS 5.6.6. This specification states that if post-accident monitoring instrumentation is inoperable, a preplanned alternate method of monitoring, the cause of the inoperability, and the schedule for restoring the inoperable instrument to an operable status shall be submitted in a report to the NRC. The resident inspectors asked follow-up questions associated with industry operating experience and the preventive maintenance program for these transmitters. These LITs were replaced on an "as-required" basis (no preventive maintenance frequency) and were classified as non-critical components in the licensee's maintenance program.

However, industry operating experience and Electric Power Research Institute guidance was found by the inspectors that indicated electrolytic capacitors have a specified lifespan based on operating conditions and applications. The NRC issued Information Notice (IN) 2012-11, "Age-Related Capacitor Degradation," in July 2012, which also informed licensees of problems that involved the age-related degradation of capacitors.

The licensee documented a review of this IN in CR-PLP-2012-5721. However, the licensee's preventive maintenance interval review of this operating experience only considered electrolytic capacitors that were classified as critical components in their maintenance rule program. The capacitors which were identified during this review were scheduled for, at most, 10 year replacement intervals. The licensee potentially missed the opportunity to establish a replacement program for these transmitters at that time. In addition to entering this issue into their CAP as CR-PLP-2015-04972, the licensee replaced the failed components and planned to develop a replacement schedule for non-critical, safety-related electrolytic capacitors.

Analysis.

The inspectors determined that the failure to review for suitability of application of the safety-related electrolytic capacitors in the containment floor LITs, which were installed beyond their recommended service life, was contrary to 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion III, "Design Control," and was a performance deficiency.

The inspectors determined that the performance deficiency was more than minor in accordance with Inspection Manual Chapter (IMC) 0612 "Power Reactor Inspection Reports," Appendix B, "Issue Screening," dated September 7, 2012, because the performance deficiency was associated with the Equipment Performance attribute of the Mitigating Systems cornerstone and adversely affected the cornerstone objective of ensuring the availability, reliability, and capability of systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences (i.e., core damage). The containment water LITs are relied upon in the plant's emergency operating procedures to ensure adequate net positive suction head for ECCS pumps following a RAS. The finding was screened in accordance with IMC 0609, Appendix A, "The Significance Determination Process for Findings At-Power," Exhibit 1, "Mitigating Systems Screening Questions," dated July 1, 2012. The finding screened as having very low safety significance (i.e., Green) based on answering "No" to all the screening questions under the Mitigating SSCs and Functionality section of IMC 0609, Appendix A, Exhibit 1.

The finding had a cross-cutting aspect of Operating Experience in the Problem Identification and Resolution cross-cutting area since the licensee did not effectively and thoroughly evaluate and implement relevant industry operating experience and guidance for age-related electrolytic capacitor degradation [P.5].

Enforcement.

10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion III, "Design Control," requires, in part, that measures shall be established for the selection and review for suitability of application of materials, parts, equipment, and processes that are essential to the safety-related functions of SSCs. Contrary to the above, as of June 21, 2015, the licensee failed to review for suitability of application of parts essential to the safety-related functions of the containment floor level indicating system. Specifically, the licensee did not review for suitability of application of safety-related electrolytic capacitors in the containment floor LITs that were installed beyond their recommended service life to justify their continued service considering in-service deterioration. As part of their immediate corrective actions, the licensee replaced the failed components. Because this violation was of very low safety significance and it was entered into the licensee's CAP as CR-PLP-2015-04972, it is being treated as an NCV, consistent with Section 2.3.2 of the NRC Enforcement Policy. (NCV 05000255/2015003-01 Failure to Justify Continued Service of Safety-Related Electrolytic Capacitors Installed Beyond Their Service Life)

.2 Review of Operator Workarounds

a. Inspection Scope

Operator workarounds are operator actions taken to compensate for degraded or non-conforming conditions. Operator workarounds that cannot be implemented effectively can contribute to an increase in overall plant risk. The inspectors verified that the licensee was identifying operator workarounds at an appropriate threshold, entering them into their CAP, and had planned or taken appropriate corrective actions. As part of their review, the inspectors considered all existing plant conditions and the cumulative impact of all operator workarounds. The inspectors evaluated the licensee's operator workarounds to determine if any mitigating system functions were adversely impacted. Additionally, the inspectors assessed whether or not the operator workarounds had adversely impacted the operator's ability to implement abnormal or emergency operating procedures. The inspectors placed particular emphasis on any operator workarounds that had not been effectively evaluated by the licensee; that had been formalized or proceduralized as the long-term corrective actions for a degraded or nonconforming condition; and that may have increased the potential for human error, such as operator workarounds that:

  • Required operations that were not consistent with current training and system knowledge;
  • Required a change from long-standing operational practices;
  • Required operation of a system or component in a manner that was inconsistent with similar systems or components;
  • Created the potential for the compensatory action to be performed on equipment or under conditions for which it was not appropriate;
  • Impaired access to required indications, increased dependence on oral communications, or impacted the timeliness of time-critical event mitigating actions under adverse environmental conditions;
  • Required the use of equipment and interfaces that had not been designed with consideration of the task being performed;
  • Required the licensee to assess and manage an increase in risk; or
  • Required a license amendment in accordance with 10 CFR 50.59, but were implemented without an approved amendment. Documents reviewed are listed in the Attachment to this report. These activities by the inspectors constituted a single operator workarounds review inspection sample as required by IP 71111.15, Section 02.01(a).

b. Findings

No findings were identified.

1R19 Post-Maintenance Testing

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors reviewed the following post-maintenance testing activities to verify that procedures and testing activities were adequate to ensure system operability and functional capability:

  • CVCO-4, pump testing, following 'C' charging pump bladder replacement;
  • MI-43, instrument calibration, following replacement of the reactor vessel level indicating system power supply;
  • valve testing following repairs to the charging system surge tank vent valve; and
  • diagnostic and stroke testing of service water control valves replaced on the CCW heat exchanger during RFO 1R24. These activities were selected based upon the SSCs ability to impact risk. The inspectors evaluated these activities for the following (as applicable): the effect of testing on the plant had been adequately addressed; testing was adequate for the maintenance performed; acceptance criteria were clear and demonstrated operational readiness; test instrumentation was appropriate; tests were performed as written in accordance with properly reviewed and approved procedures; equipment was returned to its operational status following testing (temporary modifications or jumpers required for test performance were properly removed after test completion); and test documentation was properly evaluated. The inspectors evaluated the activities against TSs, the UFSAR, 10 CFR Part 50 requirements, licensee procedures, and various NRC generic communications to ensure that the test results adequately ensured that the equipment met the licensing basis and design requirements. In addition, the inspectors reviewed corrective action documents associated with post-maintenance tests to determine whether the licensee was identifying problems and entering them in the CAP and that the problems were being corrected commensurate with their importance to safety. Documents reviewed are listed in the Attachment to this report. This inspection constituted four post-maintenance testing samples as defined in IP 71111.19-05.

b. Findings

No findings were identified.

1R20 Outage Activities

.1 Refueling Outage Activities

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors evaluated outage activities for RFO 24 (RFO 1R24) that began on September 16, 2015, and continued through the end of the assessment period. The RFO began when the reactor tripped following a turbine trip due to a digital electrohydraulic control system failure on September 16, 2015. The licensee continued the plant shutdown to cold shutdown conditions to begin the RFO.

The inspectors reviewed the Outage Risk Assessment (ORAT) and contingency plans for 1R24, prior to the shutdown, to confirm that the licensee had appropriately considered risk, industry operating experience, and previous site-specific problems in developing and implementing a plan that assured maintenance of defense-in-depth. During the RFO, the inspectors observed portions of the shutdown and cooldown processes and monitored licensee controls over the RFO activities listed below:

  • licensee configuration management, including maintenance of defense-in-depth commensurate with the ORAT for key safety functions and compliance with the applicable TSs when taking equipment out of service;
  • implementation of clearance activities and confirmation that tags were properly hung and equipment appropriately configured to safely support the work or testing;
  • installation and configuration of primary coolant pressure, level, and temperature instruments to provide accurate indication, accounting for instrument error;
  • controls over the status and configuration of electrical systems to ensure that TS and ORAT requirements were met, and controls over switchyard activities;
  • controls to ensure that RFO work was not impacting the ability of the operators to operate the spent fuel pool cooling system;
  • reactor water inventory controls including flow paths, configurations, and alternative means for inventory addition, and controls to prevent inventory loss;
  • controls over activities that could affect reactivity;

1EP6 Drill Evaluation

.1 Emergency Preparedness Drill Observation

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors evaluated the conduct of a routine licensee emergency drill on August 26, 2015, to identify any weaknesses and deficiencies in classification, notification, and protective action recommendation development activities. The inspectors observed emergency response operations in the emergency operations facility, technical support center, and the control room simulator to determine whether the event classification, notifications, and protective action recommendations were performed in accordance with procedures. The inspectors also attended the licensee drill critique to compare any inspector-observed weakness with those identified by the licensee staff in order to evaluate the critique and to verify whether the licensee staff was properly identifying weaknesses and entering them into the CAP. As part of the inspection, the inspectors reviewed the drill package and other documents listed in the Attachment to this report. This emergency preparedness drill inspection constituted one sample as defined in IP 71114.06-06.

b. Findings

No findings were identified.

RADIATION SAFETY

2RS6 Radioactive Gaseous and Liquid Effluent Treatment

This inspection constituted one complete sample as defined in IP 71124.06-05.

.1 Inspection Planning and Program Reviews (02.01) Event Report and Effluent Report Reviews

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors reviewed the Radiological Effluent Release Reports issued since the last inspection to determine if the reports were submitted as required by the Offsite Dose Calculation Manual (ODCM)/TSs. The inspectors reviewed anomalous results, unexpected trends, or abnormal releases identified by the licensee for further inspection to determine if they were evaluated, were entered in the CAP, and were adequately resolved. The inspectors selected radioactive effluent monitor operability issues reported by the licensee as provided in effluent release reports, to review these issues during the onsite inspection, as warranted, given their relative significance, and determine if the issues were entered into the CAP and adequately resolved.

b. Findings

No findings were identified.

Offsite Dose Calculation Manual and Final Safety Analysis Report Review

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors reviewed UFSAR descriptions of the radioactive effluent monitoring systems, treatment systems, and effluent flow paths so they could be evaluated during inspection walkdowns. The inspectors reviewed changes to the ODCM made by the licensee since the last inspection against the guidance in NUREG-1301, 1302, and 0133, and Regulatory Guides 1.109, 1.21, and 4.1. When differences were identified, the inspectors reviewed the technical basis or evaluations of the change during the onsite inspection to determine whether they were technically justified and maintain effluent releases as-low-as-reasonably-achievable. The inspectors reviewed licensee documentation to determine if the licensee has identified any non-radioactive systems that have become contaminated as disclosed either through an event report or the ODCM since the last inspection. This review provided an intelligent sample list for the onsite inspection of any 10 CFR 50.59 evaluations, and allowed a determination if any newly contaminated systems have an unmonitored effluent discharge path to the environment, whether any required ODCM revisions were made to incorporate these new pathways, and whether the associated effluents were reported in accordance with Regulatory Guide 1.21.

b. Findings

No findings were identified.

Groundwater Protection Initiative Program

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors reviewed reported groundwater monitoring results and changes to the licensee's written program for identifying and controlling contaminated spills/leaks to groundwater.

b. Findings

No findings were identified. Procedures, Special Reports, and Other Documents

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors reviewed Licensee Event Reports, event reports, and/or special reports related to the Effluent Program issued since the previous inspection to identify any additional focus areas for the inspection based on the scope/breadth of problems described in these reports. The inspectors reviewed the Effluent Program implementing procedures, particularly those associated with effluent sampling, effluent monitor set-point determinations, and dose calculations. The inspectors reviewed copies of licensee and third party (independent) evaluation reports of the Effluent Monitoring Program since the last inspection to gather insights into the licensee's program, and aid in selecting areas for inspection review (smart sampling).

b. Findings

No findings were identified.

.2 Walkdowns and Observations (02.02)

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors walked down selected components of the gaseous and liquid discharge systems to evaluate whether equipment configuration and flow paths align with the documents reviewed in 02.01 above, and to assess equipment material condition.

Special attention was made to identify potential unmonitored release points (such as open roof vents in boiling water reactor turbine decks, temporary structures butted against turbine, auxiliary or containment buildings), building alterations which could impact airborne, or liquid effluent controls, and ventilation system leakage that communicates directly with the environment.

For equipment or areas associated with the systems selected for review that were not readily accessible due to radiological conditions, the inspectors reviewed the licensee's material condition surveillance records, as applicable. The inspectors walked down filtered ventilation systems to assess for conditions such as degraded high-efficiency particulate air/charcoal banks, improper alignment, or system installation issues that would impact the performance or the effluent monitoring capability of the effluent system. As available, the inspectors observed selected portions of the routine processing and discharge of radioactive gaseous effluent (including sample collection and analysis) to evaluate whether appropriate treatment equipment was used, and the processing activities align with discharge permits. The inspectors determined if the licensee had made significant changes to their effluent release points (e.g., changes subject to a 10 CFR 50.59 review, or require NRC approval of alternate discharge points). As available, the inspectors observed selected portions of the routine processing and discharging of liquid waste (including sample collection and analysis) to determine if appropriate effluent treatment equipment was being used, and that radioactive liquid waste was being processed and discharged in accordance with procedure requirements and aligned with discharge permits.

b. Findings

No findings were identified.

.3 Sampling and Analyses (02.03)

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors selected effluent sampling activities, consistent with smart sampling, and assessed whether adequate controls have been implemented to ensure representative samples were obtained (e.g., provisions for sample line flushing, vessel recirculation, composite samplers, etc.). The inspectors selected effluent discharges made with inoperable (declared out-of-service) effluent radiation monitors to assess whether controls were in place to ensure compensatory sampling was performed consistent with the radiological effluent TSs/ODCM, and that those controls were adequate to prevent the release of unmonitored liquid and gaseous effluents. The inspectors determined whether the facility was routinely relying on the use of compensatory sampling in lieu of adequate system maintenance, based on the frequency of compensatory sampling since the last inspection. The inspectors reviewed the results of the Inter-Laboratory Comparison Program to evaluate the quality of the radioactive effluent sample analyses, and assessed whether the Inter-Laboratory Comparison Program included hard-to-detect isotopes as appropriate.

b. Findings

No findings were identified.

.4 Instrumentation and Equipment (02.04) Effluent Flow Measuring Instruments

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors reviewed the methodology the licensee used to determine the effluent stack and vent flow rates to determine if the flow rates were consistent with radiological effluent TSs/ODCM or UFSAR values, and that differences between assumed and actual stack, and vent flow rates did not affect the results of the projected public doses.

b. Findings

No findings were identified. Air Cleaning Systems

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors assessed whether surveillance test results since the previous inspection for TS required ventilation effluent discharge systems (high-efficiency particulate air and charcoal filtration), such as the Standby Gas Treatment System, and the Containment/ Auxiliary Building Ventilation System, met TS acceptance criteria.

b. Findings

No findings were identified.

.5 Dose Calculations (02.05)

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors reviewed all significant changes in reported dose values compared to the previous Radiological Effluent Release Report (e.g., a factor of five, or increases that approach Appendix I criteria) to evaluate the factors, which may have resulted in the change. The inspectors reviewed radioactive liquid and gaseous waste discharge permits to assess whether the projected doses to members of the public were accurate and based on representative samples of the discharge path. The inspectors evaluated the methods used to determine the isotopes that are included in the source term to ensure all applicable radionuclides are included within detectability standards. The review included the current Part 61 analyses to ensure hard-to-detect radionuclides are included in the source term. The inspectors reviewed changes in the licensee's offsite dose calculations since the last inspection to evaluate whether changes were consistent with the ODCM and, Regulatory Guide 1.109. Inspectors reviewed meteorological dispersion and deposition factors used in the ODCM and effluent dose calculations to evaluate whether appropriate factors were being used for public dose calculations. The inspectors reviewed the latest Land Use Census to assess whether changes (e.g., significant increases or decreases to population in the plant environs, changes in critical exposure pathways, the location of nearest member of the public, or critical receptor, etc.) have been factored into the dose calculations. For the releases reviewed above, the inspectors evaluated whether the calculated doses (monthly, quarterly, and annual dose) were within the 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix I, and TS dose criteria. The inspectors reviewed, as available, records of any abnormal gaseous or liquid tank discharges (e.g., discharges resulting from misaligned valves, valve leak-by, etc.) to ensure the abnormal discharge was monitored by the discharge point effluent monitor.

Discharges made with inoperable effluent radiation monitors, or unmonitored leakages were reviewed to ensure that an evaluation was made of the discharge to satisfy 10 CFR 20.1501 so as to account for the source term and projected doses to the public.

b. Findings

Introduction:

The inspectors identified a finding of very low safety significance (Green) and an associated NCV of TS 5.5.1, "Offsite Dose Calculation Manual," for the failure to establish, implement, and maintain the ODCM relative to dose calculation parameters. Specifically, the licensee failed to modify the parameters used in public radiation calculations when changes in the use of unrestricted areas were identified.

Description:

The NRC requires that the licensee identify changes in the use of unrestricted areas to permit modifications in monitoring programs for evaluating doses to individuals from principal pathways of exposure. This was described as the "Land Use Census," in the ODCM.

The licensee completed the land use census in September/October 2014 using licensee procedure CH 6.41 "Land Use Census." The procedure also directed that any changes to critical receptors or X/Q values that modify offsite dose calculations due to the land use census be effective January 1 of the year following the land use census. Although this was normal and expected, the new and sometimes more restrictive values were not transferred to the offsite dose calculation software, "GASPAR." As a result, the quarterly and annual doses that were calculated every 31 days, as required by the ODCM, were incorrect and non-conservative. Discussions with the licensee revealed that the Radiological Effluent Technical Specification (RETS) Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program (REMP) Specialist assumed the duties and responsibilities of this position in November 2014; months after the previous RETS-REMP Specialist had left the organization. The new individual was aware that the land use census had been completed, but did not realize the results were not incorporated into the program for evaluating doses to individuals from principal pathways of exposure. As part of their immediate corrective actions, the licensee entered this issue into their CAP as CR-2015-2972 and recalculated the dose using the correct calculation parameters.

Analysis:

The inspectors determined that the failure to establish, implement, and maintain the dose calculation parameters of the ODCM was not in accordance with TS 5.5.1, and was a performance deficiency.

The inspectors determined that the performance deficiency was more than minor because it was associated with the Program and Process attribute of the Public Radiation Safety cornerstone and adversely affected the cornerstone objective of ensuring the adequate protection of public health and safety from exposure to radioactive materials released into the public domain as a result of routine civilian nuclear reactor operation. Specifically, the non-conservative calculation of dose to members of the public impeded the ability to provide adequate protection of public health and safety from exposure to radioactive materials released into the public domain as a result of routine civilian nuclear reactor operations. The finding was assessed using IMC 0609, Appendix D, "Public Radiation Safety Significance Determination Process," and was determined to be of very low safety significance (Green) because the issue did not represent a significant deficiency in evaluating a planned or unplanned effluent release since the resulting dose was not grossly underestimated.

As described above, the cause for this failure was attributed to the lack of turnover to the new program owner from the previous program owner. As a result, the finding had a cross-cutting aspect of Training in the Human Performance cross-cutting area because the licensee did not ensure adequate knowledge transfer to maintain a knowledgeable, technically competent workforce. (H.9).

Enforcement:

TS 5.5.1, "Offsite Dose Calculation Manual," requires the licensee to establish, implement, and maintain the ODCM. ODCM,Section I.B, required dose rates to be calculated for: (1) noble gases and (2) iodines and particulates. Dose rates as defined in this section are based on 10 CFR 50, Appendix I, limits of millirem per quarter and millirem per year. All dose pathways of major importance in the Palisades Nuclear Plant environs are considered, and are to be evaluated at the offsite exposure points where maximum concentrations are expected to exist (overland sector site boundaries) and nearest residents.

Contrary to the above, between January 1 and July 16, 2015, the licensee failed to calculate the dose rates from noble gases, iodines, and particulates to the nearest resident. As part of their immediate corrective actions, the licensee recalculated the dose using the correct calculation parameters. Because this violation was of very low safety significance and was entered into the licensee's CAP as CR-2015-2972, this violation is being treated as an NCV, consistent with Section 2.3.2.a of the NRC Enforcement Policy. (NCV 05000255/2015003-02, Failure to Establish, Implement, and Maintain the ODCM Relative to Dose Calculation Parameters)

.6 Groundwater Protection Initiative Implementation (02.06)

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors reviewed monitoring results of the Groundwater Protection Initiative to determine if the licensee had implemented its program as intended, and to identify any anomalous results. For anomalous results or missed samples, the inspectors assessed whether the licensee had identified and addressed deficiencies through its CAP. The inspectors reviewed identified leakage or spill events and entries made into 10 CFR 50.75(g) records. The inspectors reviewed evaluations of leaks or spills and reviewed any remediation actions taken for effectiveness. The inspectors reviewed onsite contamination events involving contamination of ground water and assessed whether the source of the leak or spill was identified and mitigated. For unmonitored spills, leaks, or unexpected liquid or gaseous discharges, the inspectors assessed whether an evaluation was performed to determine the type and amount of radioactive material that was discharged by:

  • assessing whether sufficient radiological surveys were performed to evaluate the extent of the contamination and the radiological source term and assessing whether a survey/evaluation had been performed to include consideration of hard-to-detect radionuclides; and
  • determining whether the licensee completed offsite notifications, as provided in its Groundwater Protection Initiative implementing procedures. The inspectors reviewed the evaluation of discharges from onsite surface water bodies that contained or potentially contained radioactivity, and the potential for groundwater leakage from these onsite surface water bodies. The inspectors assessed whether the licensee was properly accounting for discharges from these surface water bodies as part of their Effluent Release Reports. The inspectors assessed whether onsite groundwater sample results and a description of any significant onsite leaks/spills into groundwater for each calendar year were documented in the Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report for the REMP, or the Annual Radiological Effluent Release Report for the RETS. For significant, new effluent discharge points (such as significant or continuing leakage to groundwater that continues to impact the environment if not remediated), the inspectors evaluated whether the ODCM was updated to include the new release point.

b. Findings

No findings were identified.

.7 Problem Identification and Resolution (02.07)

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors assessed whether problems associated with the Effluent Monitoring and Control Program were being identified by the licensee at an appropriate threshold, and were properly addressed for resolution in the licensee CAP. In addition, the inspectors evaluated the appropriateness of the corrective actions for a selected sample of problems documented by the licensee involving radiation monitoring and exposure controls.

b. Findings

No findings were identified.

4OA2 Identification and Resolution of Problems

.1 Routine Review of Items Entered into the Corrective Action Program

a. Inspection Scope

As part of the various baseline IPs discussed in previous sections of this report, the inspectors routinely reviewed issues during baseline inspection activities and plant status reviews to verify they were being entered into the licensee's CAP at an appropriate threshold, that adequate attention was being given to timely corrective actions, and that adverse trends were identified and addressed. Attributes reviewed included: identification of the problem was complete and accurate; timeliness was commensurate with the safety significance; evaluation and disposition of performance issues, generic implications, common causes, contributing factors, root causes, extent-of-condition reviews, and previous occurrences reviews were proper and adequate; and that the classification, prioritization, focus, and timeliness of corrective actions were commensurate with safety and sufficient to prevent recurrence of the issue. Minor issues entered into the licensee's CAP as a result of the inspectors' observations are included in the Attachment to this report. These routine reviews for the identification and resolution of problems did not constitute any additional inspection samples. Instead, by procedure they were considered an integral part of the inspections performed during the quarter and documented in Section 1 of this report.

b. Findings

No findings were identified.

.2 Daily Corrective Action Program Reviews

a. Inspection Scope

In order to assist with the identification of repetitive equipment failures and specific human performance issues for follow-up, the inspectors performed a daily screening of items entered into the licensee's CAP. This review was accomplished through inspection of the station's daily CR packages. These daily reviews were performed by procedure as part of the inspectors' daily plant status monitoring activities and, as such, did not constitute any separate inspection samples.

b. Findings

No findings were identified.
