PLANT STATUS

Unit 1 operated at or near 100 percent rated thermal power (RTP) for the entire inspection period.

Unit 2 operated at or near 100 percent RTP for the entire inspection period, with the exception of a temporary power reduction to 96 percent RTP on May 1, 2024, as required to implement a measurement uncertainty recapture power uprate from 2568 megawatts to 2608 megawatts core thermal power.

Unit 3 began the inspection period at or near 100 percent RTP. On May 4, 2024, Unit 3 was shut down for a scheduled refueling outage (O3R32). During startup, on May 29, 2024, Unit 3 was limited to 74 percent RTP following unexpected measured high assembly power for assembly location H-05. On June 2, 2024, Unit 3 was shut down for a maintenance outage (O3F32A) to replace two burnable poison rod assemblies (BPRAs) that had incorrect boron concentrations. During O3F32A, indications of a leaking fuel assembly were discovered, independent of the faulty BPRAs. The leaking assembly was isolated and replaced, with no indications of significant fuel damage. The unit was returned to 100 percent RTP on June 20, 2024, and operated at or near 100 percent RTP for the remainder of the inspection period.

INSPECTION SCOPES

INSPECTION RESULTS

Failure to Maintain Fire Penetration in Accordance with Fire Protection Program Cornerstone Significance Cross-Cutting Report Aspect Section Mitigating Green None (NPP) 71111.05 Systems NCV 05000269/2024002-01 Open/Closed The inspectors identified a Green finding and associated NCV of Oconee Nuclear Station Units 1, 2, and 3, Renewed Facility Operating License Condition 3.D for the licensees failure to maintain in effect all provisions of the approved fire protection program. Specifically, the licensee failed to ensure that the fire resistive penetration seal assembly in fire penetration 1-M-N-5 was installed to the correct seal thickness per plant design drawings.

Description:

On March 14, 2024, during a fire protection walkdown of the Unit 1 east penetration room, the inspectors identified a potentially degraded fire barrier penetration, 1-M-N-5, a 5-inch pipe passing through the wall above door 401B between the Unit 1 cable room and the Unit 1 east penetration room. Although the penetration seal was flush with the wall, inspectors noted possible degradation with signs of potential loss of foam insulation in the seal assembly. The inspectors informed the licensee operations staff and the fire protection engineer, who determined that the penetration seal was non-functional. The licensee established an hourly fire watch and documented the condition in the corrective action program as NCR 2508926.

The licensee determined through a destructive examination that the wall containing penetration 1-M-N-5 had a thickness of only eight inches. This was contrary to the dimensional data listed in the equipment database (EDB), the established method of design control for plant equipment. The EDB had listed 1-M-N-5 as a penetration of 12 inches thick.

Additionally, the penetration was installed with foam insulation seal, but the EDB incorrectly listed a grout seal design. Procedure MP/1/A/1705/018, Fire Protection - Penetration - Fire and Flood Barrier - Inspection and Minor Repair, is used for periodic external visual inspection and repair of fire penetrations such as 1-M-N-5. The licensee identified that this procedure had listed the wall containing this penetration as being 12 inches thick as far back as 1998. Around this time, an effort was undertaken by the licensee to re-inspect and repair many fire penetrations as well as implement the EDB as the method of design control. The engineering change (EC) implemented in 1999, established EDB entries and issued drawings for maintenance and inspection of penetration seals. This information was then used to update inspection procedure MP/1/A/1705/018.

The licensee concluded that the most likely cause of the dimensional design discrepancies was an improper interpretation of plant drawings during the establishment of the EDB and implementation of the EC in 1999. The licensee completed inspections of penetration 1-M-N-5 several times since 1999 per MP/1/A/1705/018. The licensee used drawing O-0310-KM-001 to verify correct penetration seal design. Based on the wall thickness of the penetration in question, the licensee would refer to either Detail M-1 or M-2 for a barrier thickness of less than 12 inches or equal to or greater than 12 inches, respectively. Based on the flawed penetration thickness listed as 12 inches in MP/1/A/1705/018, the visual condition of the penetration would have been acceptable per Detail M-2 as 12 inches of seal material would have been present. However, with the current plant configuration of the penetration being only 8 inches in thickness and the penetration seal being flush with the wall surface, the penetration would not have been acceptable in accordance with Detail M-1 of O-0310-KM-001. Specifically, penetration 1-M-N-5 would be required to have a minimum of 12 inches of foam insulation, extending beyond the barrier plane to achieve the required seal depth. The maintenance procedures consist of external visual inspections, which allowed the as-built configuration being different from the procedure stated wall thickness to go unrecognized since 1999.

Corrective Actions: The licensee declared the penetration non-functional and set an hourly fire watch. Additionally, the correct penetration depth and seal design was determined, and the fire penetration seal was repaired and restored to a functional condition (12-inch foam insulation thickness). The equipment database and associated maintenance procedures for inspection and repair were corrected to reflect actual plant conditions.

Corrective Action References: NCRs 2508926, 2509983

Performance Assessment:

Performance Deficiency: The inspectors determined that the failure to maintain fire penetration 1-M-N-5 in accordance with drawing O-0310-KM-001, Penetration Seal Configuration Mechanical Fire Penetration Seal Designs Details M-1 & M-2, was a performance deficiency. Specifically, the licensee failed to ensure that penetration 1-M-N-5 was maintained with a minimum of 12 inches of foam insulation per Detail M-1 to ensure that the 3-hour rated fire boundary was functional as required by the fire protection program.

Screening: The inspectors determined the performance deficiency was more than minor because it was associated with the Protection Against External Factors attribute of the Mitigating Systems cornerstone and adversely affected the cornerstone objective to ensure the availability, reliability, and capability of systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences. Specifically, fire penetration 1-M-N-5 separates two high risk fire zones in the auxiliary building and was declared non-functional, adversely impacting the 3-hour fire boundary. Additionally, this performance deficiency is similar to the more than minor Example 2.d in Inspection Manual Chapter (IMC) 0612 Appendix E, Examples of Minor Issues.

Significance: The inspectors assessed the significance of the finding using IMC 0609 Appendix F, Fire Protection and Post - Fire Safe Shutdown SDP. The finding was assigned to category 1.4.4 Fire Confinement with a High Degradation rating because greater than 10 percent of the required foam seal depth was missing. Using IMC 0609, Appendix F, 1, Step 1.4.4-E, the inspectors determined that if a fire were to spread from one fire area to another due to the degraded fire barrier, no additional targets would be damaged in the exposed fire area that could impact the credited safe shutdown strategy for the exposing fire area. Therefore, the inspectors determined that the finding was of very low safety significance (Green).

Cross-Cutting Aspect: Not Present Performance. No cross-cutting aspect was assigned to this finding because the inspectors determined the finding did not reflect present licensee performance.

Enforcement:

Violation: Oconee Nuclear Station Units 1, 2, and 3, Renewed Facility Operating License Condition 3.D required, in part, Duke Energy Carolinas, LLC shall implement and maintain in effect all provisions of the approved fire protection program that comply with 10 CFR 50.48(a)and 10 CFR 50.48(c) and NFPA 805. NFPA 805, Section 3.11.4, requires, in part, that through penetration fire stops shall be protected such that the annular space between the penetrating item and the through opening in the fire barrier shall be filled with a qualified fire resistive penetration seal assembly capable of maintaining the fire resistance of the fire barrier. Oconee implemented this requirement through drawing O-0310-KM-001, Penetration Seal Configuration Mechanical Fire Penetration Seal Designs Details M-1 & M-2, via the licensee's design control equipment database. Fire Penetration 1-M-N-5 is a pipe penetration with a foam seal assembly through an 8-inch fire barrier and is required to be maintained in accordance with Detail M-1 (12-inch foam insulation thickness) of drawing O-0310-KM-001.

Contrary to the above, from at least 1999 until March 15, 2024, the licensee failed to implement and maintain in effect, all provisions of the approved fire protection program as required by drawing O-0310-KM-001. Specifically, the licensee failed to maintain fire penetration 1-M-N-5 in accordance with Detail M-1 of drawing O-0310-KM-001.

Enforcement Action: This violation is being treated as a non-cited violation, consistent with Section 2.3.2 of the Enforcement Policy.
