EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Callaway Plant NRC Inspection Report 50-483/97-15 Ogerationg
- Operators maintained a professional atmosphere in the control room when reactor power was reduced to 30 percent. Power was reduced as a strategy to improve the axial of fset anomaly (Section 01.2).
Maintenance
Ennineerino
- The licensee f ailed to recognize unsatisf actory relay test results. The licensee did not have documentation that other tests that were required were actually performed and were satisf actory. These concerns were related to a modification to install blown fuse indication for the excitation power fuses in Emergency Diesel Generator A (Section E1.1).
- Engine ns continued to aggressively monitor and evaluate methods for improving shutdown margin (Section E8.1).
Plant Suonort
- Material condition and housekeeping in the radwaste filter valve compartments, the pipe chase for radwaste filters and demineralizers, and general floor areas of the 2,030 foot elevation of the radwaste building were good (Section R2.1).

-* :On August 19,1997, operators reduced reactor power to 77 percen *- ;On August 21',1997, operators reduced reactor power to 70 percent. .
- .On September 5,199.7,' operators reduced reactor power to 30 percen * On September. 7,1997, operators returned reactor power to 70 percen The power reductions were performed with a strategy to improve the axial offset anomaly.-
<The goal was to restore axial offset to a value greater than predicted in order to use more--
fuel at the upper elevations of the core, thereby gaining shutdown < margin. - Refer to

OJ'servations and Findinas On September 4,1997, the licensee discovered that contacts in the load shed and emergency load sequencer circuit that inhibit the auto-start signals of certain pumps were not being tested. The affected pumps were the component cooling water, the essential service water, and the motor-driven auxiliary feedwater pump The contacts and associated relays that inhibit the automatic start of the affected pumps were part of the loading logic for the emergency diesel generators. The inhibit function develops in the load shed and emergency load sequencer logic to prevent out of-sequence loading of the pumps onto the emergency diesel generator The licensee considered the f ailure to test the inhibit function as a f ailure to perform certain Technical Specification surveillances. The licensee determined that the surveillances were:
- Technical Specification 4.8.1.1.2.g.2)c)2) _ verifies that a toss-of-of fsite power signal energizes the auto-connected shutdown loads through the shutdown sequencer;
- _ _ _ __________ _____________ __________ __.__..____ _____ _ __________ ____________ _
.
.
. auto starts and the offsite power source energizes the auto-connected (accident) loads through the loss-of-coolant accident sequencer; and
- Technica; Specification 4.8.1.1.2.g.4)d) verifies on a safety injection signal that each emergency diesel generator auto-starts and ei.ergizes the emergency busses with permanently connected loads within 12 seconds; and energizes the auto-conrected emergency (accident) loads throu9:. the loss of-coolant accident sequence The shutdown sequencer activates following the detection of undervoltage on the 4160 Volt Class 1E busses. The loss-of-coolant-accident sequencer activates on a safety injection signa Technical Specification 4.8.1.1.2.g stated that the testing be performed "At least once per 18 months, during shutdown." The licensee determined that testing of the sequencers could be performed at power without any detrimental effect Consequently, the licensee developed a testing plan, wrote a safety evaluation, and issued work authorization documents. The licensee justified performing the testing at povser because:
- Technical Specification 4.8,1,1.2.g applied to testing of the entire load shed and emergency load sequencer system. Testing would only be performed on a small part of the entire load shed and emergency load sequencer system;
- The basis for Technical Specification 4.8.1.1.2.g stated that the restriction on performing the testing while shutdown was due to perturbations to the electrical distribution systems that could challenge continued steady state operation. This specific testing would not lead to perturbations to the electrical distribution systems that could challenge steady state operation; and

" Perform Functional Test of Exciter Fuse Blown Circuitry."
b. Observations and Findinas The licensee installed this modification following evaluation of NRC Information Notice 96 23, " Fires in Emergency Diesel Generator Exciters During Operation Following Undetected Fuse Blowing."
The scope of the modification was comprised of two parts. One part involved installation of a volts por hertz relay in the emergency diesel generator control panel. The licensee installed the relay, but lef t it disconnected, pending load sequence testing during the next refueling outag The second part of the modification involved installation of blown fuse indication for the excitation power fuses. This part of the modification included installation of a current unbalance relay and the associated current transformers in the emergency diesel generator control pane The current unbalance relay was designed to detect failures of the exciter power
,
fuses by comparing the current through each of the three phases of the power potential transformer. If the current through one phase was low by some predetermined value, the relay would detect an unbalance condition and initiate a local annunciator, a computer point alarm, and main control board annunciato '
The modification package specified that the current unbalance relay be bench tested prior to installation. The bench test specified a setting for the current un' oalance relay between 23 percent and 27 percen The bench test was performed using Work Authorization A582371C. The inspector found that the B phase setting was 19 percent, and the C phase sotting was 21 percent. These values were out of the specified tolerance stated on Work Authorization A582371C. The licensee signed off Work Authorization A582371C as complete. The inspector noted this problem at the beginning of the outage to install the modification.
'
The licensee properly recalibrated the unbalance relay prior tc restoring Emergency Diesel Generator A to operable status. The licensee showed the inspector evidence that the unbalance relay was scheduled for a second calibration prior to the end of the outage. The licensee agreed that the original out-of-tolerance values should have been acknowledged on Work Authorization A582371C, with a note stating that the relay would be recalibrate The licensee initiated Suggestion Occurrence Solution Report 97-0930. The licensee performed an evaluation and determined that a current unbalance relay setting between 15 percent and 35 percent was acceptabl l

. Although the original bench test results were shown to be acceptable, the inspector determined that the failure to accomplish the bench test of the current unbalance relay according to the specified instructions on Work Authorization A582371C was a violation of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion V. This f ailure constitutes a violation of minor significance, and is being treated as a Non-Cited Violation, consistent with Section IV of the NRC Enforcement Policy (50-483/9715-02h The inspector reviewed the results of the second calibration of the current unbalance relay which was performed under Work Authorization R582371 A. The results were acceptabl The inspector identified some other concerns relative to the quality of work documentation:
- Work Authorization A582371C specified that testing of the current unbalance relay should be performed at voltages of 100 VAC and 130 VA This was completed but not documented. The modification supervisor contacted relay test personnel, the group who perforrned the test, to verify that the work was performed and was satisf actory. The modification supervisor revised Work Authorization A582371C to show that the work was properly accomplishe * Work Authorization A582371D specified that the current transformers for the unbalance relay be meggered at a value of 500 volts. Th% was completed but not documented. The modification supervisor contacted relay test personnel to verify that the work was performed and was satisfactor The modification supervisor revised Work Authorization A582371D to show that the work was properly accomplishe The inspector reviewed the remaining testing, including the postmodification functional test, and did not identify any further concerns. The inspector reviewed drawings, procedures, and other design documents and noted no concerns, Conclusions The inspector concluded that:
- There was a f ailure to accomplish bench testing of the current unbalance relay according to specified instructions; and
- There was a f ailure to have evidence that other tests which were required were actually performe _______- - - _ _ _ __-____

E8.1 (Ocen) Insoectioi. Followun item 50 483/9714-03: review licensee actions associated with the axial offset anomal The licensee operated the plant at 30 percent reactor power during the weekend of September 6 7,1997. Operators held power at 30 percent for approximately 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />, and then returned reactor power to 70 percen The reason for the power reduction was to remove deposits of the lithium-boron compound from the upper regions of the core. The lithium-boron compound was thought to be enhanced in the crud at the upper elevations of the fuel. The boron in the crud layer was the reason for the axial offset anomaly that has caused shutdown margin to erode faster than predicte The licensee expected that reducing reduced reactor power to 30 percent would cause the lithium-boron compound to become more soluble due to lower temperature. The licensee planned to return reactor power to 70 percent without the lithium-boron deposit on the fuel. This would allow more fuel to be used at the top of the core, thereby improving shutdown margi The licensee used some basic assumptions in this approach:
- Coolant temperature at the top of the core would decrease sufficiently in response to a reactor power decrease to allow the lithium-boron to go into solution;
- The lithium-boron compound would not re form as reactor power was increased to 70 percen The licensee had data showing approximately 950 grams cf boron was deposited on the fuel. By ca'culation this was equivalent to about 610 grams of lithium existing in the form of the lithium-boron compound (LiBO 2).
The licensee had also experienced an axial offset anomcly in 1993 (Cycle 9) and performed a similar power reduction to 30 percent reactor power. The licensee removed approximately 600 grams of lithium at that time and expected to remove a similar amount during this recent power reductio The results were not as expected. Only approximately 160 grams of lithium was released from the surface of the fuel while the reactor was at 30 percent powe On the return to 70 percent reactor power, approximately 80 grams of the lithium that was released into the reactor coolant system was re-deposited on the fue Because the re-deposited lithium (as the lithium-boron compound) contained more fresh Boron 10 from the coolant, the axial offset was more negative after the power

-10-reduction than before the power reduction. Prior to the power reduction, axial of fset was approximately +0.5 percent. After the power reduction, the axial offset was approximately 2.5 percen The licensee made the following overall conclusions:
- The quantity of the lithium boron compound released into the coolant was not as great as expected:
-
The re deposition of lithium (as lithiuin boron) as reactor power increased was greater than anticipate The licensee was pursuing other actions:
- Evaluating other calculations for shutdown margin to determine if other uncertainties could be reduced:
- Evaluating a plant shutdown to Mode 5 to remove the crud deposit from the fue The inspector noted that the licensee recently revised the Core Operating Limits Report to increase the insertion limits for Control Rod Banks C and D. The increased limits provided additional shutdown margin. The new limit for Centrol Bank C was 100 steps at O percent reactor power, The new limit for Control Bank D was 201 steps at 100 percent reactor powe Technical Specifications 3.1.3.6 and 4.1.1.5.2 require that the shutdown margin in Modes 1 and 2 be greater than or equal to 1300 pcm. As of September 8,1997, shutdown margin dropped to a value of 1737 pc The inspector concluded that the licensee was aggressively monitoring and evaluating ways to improve shutdown margi IV.
