List of Findings and Violations
Failure to Perform Preventative Maintenance of Reactor Building Ventilation Fire Damper 9 (66FD-9)
Cornerstone Significance Cross-Cutting Aspect Report Section Mitigating Systems Green NCV 05000333/2022001-01 Open/Closed
[P.2] -
Evaluation 71111.12 The inspectors identified a Green finding and associated non-cited violation (NCV) of FitzPatrick License Condition 2.C.(3) for failure to implement and maintain in effect all provisions of the approved fire protection program. Specifically, contrary to a Fire Plan Impact Review in June 2007, which justified removing the functionality test of all fire dampers based on assurance that preventive maintenance would be performed, FitzPatrick subsequently stopped performing preventive maintenance of reactor building ventilation fire damper 9 (66FD-9) in November 2010.
Additional Tracking Items
None.
PLANT STATUS
FitzPatrick began the inspection period at rated thermal power. On January 18, 2022, operators reduced reactor power to 84 percent to perform reactor fuel defect identification testing.
Operators restored power to rated on the same day. On February 8, 2022, operators reduced reactor power to 56 percent to determine the location of a reactor fuel leak. Following identification of the leak and suppression, operators returned the unit to rated power on February 12, 2022. On February 12, 2022, following return to rated power, operators reduced reactor power to 75 percent to perform a control rod pattern adjustment. On February 13, 2022, operators restored reactor power to rated following the control rod pattern adjustment. On March 15, 2022, operators reduced reactor power to 72 percent to perform a main condenser tube leak repair. Operators restored the unit to rated power on March 16, 2022. FitzPatrick remained at or near rated thermal power for the remainder of the inspection period.
INSPECTION SCOPES
Inspections were conducted using the appropriate portions of the inspection procedures (IPs) in effect at the beginning of the inspection unless otherwise noted. Currently approved IPs with their attached revision histories are located on the public website at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/doc-collections/insp-manual/inspection-procedure/index.html. Samples were declared complete when the IP requirements most appropriate to the inspection activity were met consistent with Inspection Manual Chapter (IMC) 2515, Light-Water Reactor Inspection Program - Operations Phase. The inspectors performed activities described in IMC 2515, Appendix D, Plant Status, conducted routine reviews using IP 71152, Problem Identification and Resolution, observed risk significant activities, and completed on-site portions of IPs. The inspectors reviewed selected procedures and records, observed activities, and interviewed personnel to assess licensee performance and compliance with Commission rules and regulations, license conditions, site procedures, and standards.
On February 1, 2022, the operating license for James A. FitzPatrick Nuclear Power Plant held by Exelon Generation Company, LLC was transferred to Constellation Energy Generation, LLC (Constellation) as documented in the associated license amendments (ADAMS Accession No. ML22021B660). While some or all of the inspections documented in this report were performed while the license was held by Exelon Generation Company, LLC, this report will refer to the licensee as Constellation throughout.

INSPECTION RESULTS
Failure to Perform Preventative Maintenance of Reactor Building Ventilation Fire Damper 9 (66FD-9)
Cornerstone Significance Cross-Cutting Aspect Report Section Mitigating Systems
Green NCV 05000333/2022001-01 Open/Closed
[P.2] -
Evaluation 71111.12 The inspectors identified a Green finding and associated non-cited violation (NCV) of FitzPatrick License Condition 2.C.(3) for failure to implement and maintain in effect all provisions of the approved fire protection program. Specifically, contrary to a Fire Plan Impact Review in June 2007, which justified removing the functionality test of all fire dampers based on assurance that preventive maintenance would be performed, FitzPatrick subsequently stopped performing preventive maintenance of reactor building ventilation fire damper 9 (66FD-9) in November 2010.
Description:
Fire damper 66FD-9 provides a fire boundary between risk-important safety-related equipment rooms. This damper is normally open, but in the event of a fire in the east crescent of the reactor building or a fire in the supply air ventilation duct where 66FD-9 is located, a fusible link holding the damper open melts, then an internal spring draws the damper into the closed position. Fire damper closure prevents a fire spreading from one area to another.
On June 6, 2007, FitzPatrick issued a revision to surveillance requirements in Technical Requirements Manual (TRM) 3.7.M, Fire Barrier Penetrations, to perform a visual inspection of fire dampers once every 24 months. Previously, FitzPatrick was required to perform a visual inspection and functionality test in accordance with Technical Requirement Surveillance (TRS) 3.7.M.3 on reactor building ventilation fire dampers. As part of the TRM revision, FitzPatrick performed a Fire Protection Impact Review in accordance with EN-DC-128, Fire Protection Impact Reviews, Revision 0. As part of the evaluation, FitzPatrick justified removing the requirement to perform functionality tests because the fire dampers would receive preventive maintenance. The preventive maintenance in addition to the visual inspection performed for TRS 3.7.M.3 would ensure the fire dampers remain free to function during a fire. Specifically, the evaluation states, in addition to the visual inspection of the dampers, preventive maintenance tasks will be scheduled to ensure they remain free to function during a fire. This maintenance activity will include cleaning and lubrication of the track, springs, and other moving parts. If any minor damage or deficiency is noted that calls into question the operability of the damper, the damper will be functionally tested.
On September 23, 2021, FitzPatrick generated IR 04448166 documenting that the preventive maintenance had been retired for fire damper 66FD-9 and completed a work group evaluation (WGE) to establish the cause, evaluate functionality, and develop corrective actions. IR 04448166 stated that on November 16, 2010, FitzPatrick retired the preventive maintenance task for fire damper 66FD-9 by reclassifying the component as Run-To-Maintenance. The last time fire damper 66FD-9 underwent any preventive maintenance was on August 6, 2007.
The WGE examined the equipment reliability classification and maintenance strategy in accordance with ER-AA-200, "Preventive Maintenance," Revision 6. FitzPatrick determined in the WGE that the damper should remain classified as Run-to-Maintenance and no preventive maintenance shall be performed based on a fleet performance-centered maintenance (PCM)template for heating, ventilation, and air conditioning dampers and ducting, due to the 24-month visual inspection already in place. Furthermore, the WGE determined that the damper remained functional due to the completion of the 24-month visual inspection in October 2020.
The inspectors reviewed the WGE, and the actions assigned to the corrective action product.
The inspectors identified that associated actions assigned in the IR conflicted with the WGE determination. Specifically, action item 10 in IR 04448166 was assigned to assess the maintenance classification of the fire damper, and determined a classification of 7, because age-related degradation of the spring should be addressed by regular maintenance.
However, following inspector questioning about the discrepancy, the station re-performed an evaluation of the equipment classification and maintenance strategy. The station subsequently determined the fire damper would remain classified as 9, Run-To-Maintenance.
The inspectors review determined that the station's previously determined classification of 7 and the need for periodic preventive maintenance to be reasonable. Procedure ER-AA-200, Preventive Maintenance Program, Revision 6, step 4.3 references the use of Attachment 5, Maintenance Strategy Development Guidance. Information that was to be considered per 5 included operating experience, vendor information, and site commitments. The WGE did not consider the input from action item 9 of IR 04448166, in that other stations do perform functional testing of fire dampers. Also, the WGE failed to identify that the referenced PCM template for heating, ventilation, and air conditioning dampers and ducting specifically states it does not apply to fire dampers. The station also did not consider the information in the Fire Protection Impact Review performed for a revision to TRS 3.7.M.3, which required preventive maintenance to be performed to support the elimination of functional testing.
Lastly, the station did not consider that fire damper 66FD-9 is the only fire damper in the reactor building ventilation system with similar TRM surveillance requirements that is not receiving any preventive maintenance.
The inspectors determined that FitzPatrick correctly identified the problem, and captured the issue in IR 04448166, however, did not adequately assess and evaluate functionality.
Specifically, the justification in the TRM revision, "Detailed Fire Protection Program Review,"
required that the dampers receive preventive maintenance in addition to a visual inspection to meet the intent of the surveillance requirement and to ensure functionality.
Corrective Actions: FitzPatrick generated an IR to document the deficiency. FitzPatrick performed an extent-of-condition review to determine if other dampers are improperly coded, and re-evaluated fire damper 66FD-9 to ensure it is properly coded.
Corrective Action References: IR 04448166
Performance Assessment:
Performance Deficiency: The inspectors determined that FitzPatricks failure to perform preventive maintenance on fire damper 66FD-9, as required by the justification made in the TRM revision, "Detailed Fire Protection Program Review," was a performance deficiency that was reasonably within FitzPatricks ability to foresee and prevent and should have been corrected.
Screening: The inspectors determined the performance deficiency was more than minor because if left uncorrected, it would have the potential to lead to a more significant safety concern. In addition, the inspectors determined this issue is similar to IMC 0612 Appendix E example 13.a. Specifically, absent NRCs intervention, FitzPatrick's failure to establish and perform appropriate preventive maintenance can lead to in-service component deterioration and resultant failures of fire dampers to perform their fire protection function.
Significance: The inspectors assessed the significance of the finding using Inspection Manual Chapter 0609, Appendix F, Fire Protection and Post - Fire Safe Shutdown SDP.
This issue screened to very low safety significance (Green) in Phase 1, Task 1.4.3, Fire Confinement, because it was assigned a Low Degradation Rating, as the fire damper 66FD-9 was not in a maintenance inspection program.
Cross-Cutting Aspect: P.2 - Evaluation: The organization thoroughly evaluates issues to ensure that resolutions address causes and extent of conditions commensurate with their safety significance. Specifically, after performing multiple recent evaluations of the maintenance strategy, the station failed to adequately address available information such as the applicability of the PCM template, operating experience, Fire Impact Review, and that this damper is the only damper in the reactor building ventilation system with the similar TRM surveillance requirements that does not receive preventive maintenance.
Enforcement:
Violation: FitzPatrick Operating License Condition 2.C(3) requires, in part, that Constellation shall implement and maintain in effect provisions of the approved fire protection program as described in the Final Safety Analysis Report for the facility. FitzPatrick Final Safety Analysis Report Section 9.8.5, Fire Protection Program, states, in part, that the TRM will be used to implement the FitzPatrick Fire Protection Program. FitzPatrick Operating License Condition 2.C(3) also states that Constellation may make changes to the approved fire protection program without prior approval of the Commission only if those changes would not adversely affect the ability to achieve and maintain safe shutdown in the event of a fire. On August 6, 2007, Constellation performed a Fire Protection Impact Review in accordance with License Condition 2.C(3) and EN-DC-128, Fire Protection Impact Reviews, Revision 0. As part of the evaluation, FitzPatrick justified removing the requirement to perform functionality tests because the fire dampers would receive preventive maintenance.
Contrary to the above, since November 2010, FitzPatrick stopped performing preventive maintenance of reactor building ventilation fire damper 9 (66FD-9). Specifically, FitzPatrick last performed preventive maintenance for fire damper 66FD-9 on August 6, 2007.
Enforcement Action: This violation is being treated as an NCV, consistent with Section 2.3.2 of the Enforcement Policy.
Observation: IR 04369253 and IR 04369255, Main Steam Isolation Valves (MSIV) 29-AOV-86C and -86D Failed Surveillance Test Stroke Times 71152A The inspectors reviewed Constellations corrective actions, Part 21 evaluation, failure analysis, and licensee event report (LER) associated with the failure of two outboard MSIV surveillance test stroke times in September 2020 documented in IRs 04369253 and 04369255.
The inspectors verified Constellation engineering staff replaced the MSIV actuator air solenoid valves and retested the MSIVs satisfactorily prior to returning the valves to service within the applicable technical specification action statement. Constellation staff sent the associated air solenoid valves to the vendor to perform a failure analysis. EA-006-21, Revision 2, completed in November 2021, concluded foreign material negatively impacted the internal components of the air solenoid valves resulting in a delay in control air venting and the subsequent slow MSIV stroke times. Constellation staff reported the event in accordance with 10 CFR 50.73(a)(2)(vii) in LER 2021-003 dated January 14, 2022. Corrective actions included in the LER discussed replacing the air solenoid valves for the two associated MSIVs, retesting the valves satisfactorily, and planning to replace six air solenoid valves in the upcoming refueling outage in 2022 with a sample of these replacements being sent for additional failure analyses.
Additional corrective actions in IR 04369253 and IR 04369255 discussed evaluating preventive maintenance changes to equipment refurbishment frequency and preventive maintenance procedure changes to prevent foreign material during Constellation maintenance activities on the MSIV solenoid valves. The NRC inspectors identified one corrective action regarding preventive maintenance changes to equipment refurbishment frequency was closed prior to preventive maintenance change approval. This is considered a minor performance deficiency associated with the failure to follow PI-AA-125, Corrective Action Program, step 4.7.1 which states a corrective action assignment can be closed to another corrective action, work order, or when completed. Constellation staff initiated IR 04487009 to evaluate the issue and reopened the corrective action tracking assignment.
Also, the NRC inspectors identified a minor performance deficiency associated with reviewing and evaluating fleet preventive maintenance template revisions that recommend changes to safety-related equipment maintenance frequency. Specifically, at the time of the inspection, Constellation staff had not yet completed a review of a revision to the fleet preventive maintenance template for MSIVs, approved in May 2020, that recommended MSIV actuator equipment refurbishment at a shorter frequency than currently implemented at FitzPatrick.
Procedure ER-AA-200-1004 details reviewing fleet preventive maintenance templates in a timely manner and ER-AA-200, Preventive Maintenance Program, step 4.3.6 directs that all preventive maintenance deviations be documented with a technical basis. Constellation staff initiated IR 04486528 to document and evaluate the issue and extent of condition.
Due to the similarity of MSIV failures, the NRC inspectors reviewed Constellations evaluation of LER 05000220, 05000410/2020-002-01, dated August 31, 2020, where Nine Mile Point Nuclear Station reported a 10 CFR Part 21 notification related to delayed MSIV air pack response times due to a build-up of corrosion product during operation and foreign material that accumulated during equipment refurbishment by the vendor. Constellation staff documented evaluation of this Part 21 notification in IR 04407914 and identified four potentially impacted MSIV actuators currently in service and one actuator in stock. The four actuators in service were tested satisfactorily during the last surveillance tests in September 2020. Corrective actions included revising purchase order requirements with notes to help mitigate repeat refurbishment issues, inspecting and refurbishing the one actuator in stock, and initiating work orders to replace the four potentially impacted actuators in service during the next refueling outage in 2022.
The NRC inspectors did not identify any findings or violations of more than minor significance during this inspection.
