MR.

KAUFFMAN:

We'e at the Nine Mile Point Unit 4

Two Admin. Building.

The date is August 19, 1991.

The time 5

is ll:45 a.m.

We are here to conduct an interview concerning the 7

August 13th event at Nine Mile Point.

10 My name is John Kauffman, NRC.

MR.

VATTER: Bill Vatter, INPO.

MR. HILLIKER:

Brian Hilliker, Niagara Mohawk.

MR.

KAUFFMAN:

Brian, to start the interview we 12 would like you to tell us a little bit about your background 13 and prior experience and education.

14 MR. HILLIKER:

Okay.

I got out of high school in 15 1974 from Pulaski High School.

Went to college for a year 16 and a half, took Environmental Sciences and went in the Army 17 in 1976 to 1979 when I got out.

18 Worked on small generators in the Army.

I started 19 with Niagara Mohawk in 1981, in February.

Worked in the 20 Security Department for two years.

Started in Operations 21 Department in June, 1983.

I licensed -- I got my license I 22 believe it was in February of 1988 and went to license class 23 for all of 1987.

24 25 I'e worked as a reactor operator since then.

MR.

KAUFFMAN:

And that was all in Unit Two?

MR. HILLIKER:

Yes.

MR.

KAUFFMAN: I would like you to tell us, I 3

guess starting a few minutes before you arrived in the 4

control room, about what you observed and what you did MR. HILLIKER:

Before I arrived in the control 6

room that morning?

8 security.

MR.

KAUFFMAN:

Right, say when you went through MR. HILLIKER:

Okay.

I went through Security.

I 10 believe it was just a couple minutes after six o'lock and 11 one of the Security guards told me after I came through the 12 turnstiles that he thought the plant had scrammed because he 13 was out in the yard, and I assume he meant 345 kV yard 14 because he said the disconnects opened up.

15 I picked up the pace a little bit and got -- went 16 into the plant and I saw the lights were out, so I knew 17 something out of the ordinary must have been going on other 18 than the scram so I ran up the stairs and got to the control 19 room.

I think it was about five after 6:00.

20 When I got in there, it was 21 complete silence except for the sound 22 annunciators and very very quiet.

like more or less of people talking, no 23 24 MR.

KAUFFMAN:

When you say lights were out MR. HILLIKER:

The lighting in, the hallway 25 lighting.

For instance, like in 261, the long drive

4 1

electrical bay there.

Current never is out.

First time 2

I'e ever seen it that dark in there.

MR.

KAUFFMAN:

That was all the lights or were 4

there some lights?

MR. HILLIKER:

There were some lights but I am not 6

sure exactly what they were.

It was a lot darker than it 7

normally is.

MR.

KAUFFMAN:

And when you got to the control 9

room, you saw it was very quiet.

People must have been real 10 busy.

MR. HILLIKER: Right.

I got to the control room 12 and I took a quick look around and really couldn' 13 understand what was going on at the time, other than 14 somebody said we had some sort of a power failure, the plant 15 is scramed.

16 I just told the SSS, all right, what can I do to 17 help?

Then he asked me to take the ADS logic inhibit 18 switches to "on."

I took the two key lock switches to "on" 19 for that because I could see he was in the EOPs and then he 20 told me to take control of the water level, using RCIC and I 21 can't remember who I took control from.

I have been trying 22 to think of that for the past hour when I was sitting there 23 waiting.

24 But RCIC was already running and he told me to 25 maintain water level and I can't remember the range but I

5 1

was maintaining it, you know, on manual, about 185 inches.

3 that time?

MR. VATTER:

Do you recall the injection rate at MR. HILLIKER:

When I took over?

MR. VATTER:

That you were using?

What it was 6

when you took over and then MR. HILLIKER:

What it was when I took over, it 8

was above 700.

I remember seeing that, higher than we 9

normally would run because 600 gallons a minute is normal.

10 When I took it over I had a steadily increasing ll

rate, slowly increasing rate and so I decreased the set 12 point on the flow controller and brought it down to about 13 600 gallons a minute and maintained it there for a few 14 minutes.

15 16 17 MR.

VATTER:

Was level going up at that time?

MR. HILLIKER:

At what time?

MR.

VATTER:

When you took over control of RCIC 18 and when you backed off on the flow rate.

19 MR. HILLIKER: It was going up slightly, I 20 believe.

I was going up at a very slow rate so I ended up 21 dialing it back down to about.

600 gallons a minute and 22 maintained it there for five, ten minutes.

I'm not sure of 23 the length of time, whatever, and then after that I could 24 see levels starting -- I maintained it about 185 inches and 25 level started going up again so I started reducing the

6 1

controller set point, reducing it and reducing it, until all 2

of a sudden we went out on Level 8 and I am not sure exactly 3

why we did.

When we got to Level 8 the RCIC injection valve 5

closed and the steam supply valve closes.

I am still not 6

sure why.

I know that unless it was enough time after the 7

reactor scram where boiloff was, decay heat was less and so 8

we didn't need as much injection.

MR.

VATTER:

You said that the injection valve 10 wouldn't shut or the steam supply valve?

12 13 MR. HILLIKER:

They both do.

MR.

VATTER:

They both go shut.

MR. HILLIKER:

Yes.

MR.

KAUFFMAN:

So at that point you stood by the 15 panel monitoring 16 MR. HILLIKER: Monitoring water level and 17

pressure, right.

18 MR.

KAUFFMAN:

About the time RCIC tripped, do you 19 recall about what the reactor pressure was at that time?

20 21 MR. HILLIKER:

Between 500 and 600 pounds.

MR. VATTER:

Was the level still going up after 22 RCIC stopped?

23 MR. HILLIKER:

My indication, only the PAM 24 recorders where I was only goes to a Level 8 so I don't know 25 how much higher it got than that.

7 1

MR.

KAUFFMAN:

Do'ou recall the activities of 2

those around you or were you pretty much focused in on MR. HILLIKER: I can recall some because that was 4

about the time of day when turnover takes place, so we had 5

more and more people showing up for work between, you know, 6

five after, so when I got there until 6:30 people were 7

coming in and asking what they could do to help or trying to 8

get a quick turnover from somebody who wasn't too busy about 9

what was going on and trying to determine what had happened, 10 how we could restore the plant.

MR.

KAUFFMAN:

What were the next major activities 12 you got involved in or how long were you at that panel 13 monitoring?

14 MR. HILLIKER: I think I stood there at that panel 15 probably a good hour because as other people came in they 16 had them trying to restore the UPS's and once we got that 17 back they wanted to get our regular feedwater system back in 18 operation, condensate-condensate booster

pumps, because we 19 didn'0 want to continue with RCIC unless we absolutely had 20 to because that was increasing our cool-down rate and we 21 were aware of that.

22 23 24 25 We didn't want it to cool down too fast.

MR. VATTER:

Did you ever restart RCIC?

MR. HILLIKER:

No.

MR.

VATTER:

When they started feeding the vessel

8 1

with a condensate

system, condensate booster pumps, is that 2

equipment, located near the RCIC panel?

'b 3

MR. HILLIKER:

No, that's on Panel 851, probably 4

25 feet away.

MR. VATTER:

Were you able to tell at all what was 6

going on over there?

7 MR. HILLIKER:

Yes.

I could tell they had gotten 8

a condensate booster pump started and were getting some feed 9

in from that, and they were monitoring level and flow over 10 there at 851 and Panel 603, the reactor control panel.

ll MR.

KAUFFMAN: I assume you got relieved off the 12 panel at some point?

You said you were there about an hour?

zs 14 15 MR. HILLIKER:

Yes, I think about an hour.

MR.

KAUFFMAN:

What did you go do after that?

MR. HILLIKER: Basically nothing, for a while 16 after that they had somebody assigned to monitoring bypass 17 valves and slowly cooling, starting to cool down. I relieved 18 him once for about five minutes while he had to make a trip 19 to the head but for the next couple of hours really I didn' 20 do much more after that, other than just, you know, stand by 21 in case they needed somebody.

22 Because they transferred and once they had that 23 booster pump running we came down on pressure a little bit, 24 they transferred the personal responsibility of controlling 25 level and pressure to two other guys, so they had me put

9 1

RCIC in standby configuration because we didn't need it any 2

longer.

MR.

KAUFFMAN:

Of all the activities you saw and 4

the items that went well, what do you think contributed to 5

those items going well?

MR. HILLIKER:

What do I think people did to do a

7 good job to continue to our recovery?

MR.

KAUFFMAN:

Well, not necessarily what they did 9

but of the things that did go good, what contributed to 10 that?

An example might be people's training or the equipment 11 operated real well or people are just calm, cool and 12 collected, or that there were so many people there that 13 there was 14 MR. HILLIKER:

Well, I think the SRO in charge, 15 Mike Conway, did a good job being calm, cool and collected 16 at the EOPs when I saw because I think nobody appeared to 17 know for sure what exactly had happened for a few minutes 18 and how to correct it.

19 MR.

KAUFFMAN:

Had you personally ever seen any 20 events like this in the simulator?

21 MR. HILLIKER:

Not a complete loss of all UPS's.

22 We have regular training where we have, you know, power 23 failures and things like that but never a loss of all UPS's.

24 MR.

KAUFFMAN:

Did you notice anything that didn' 25 work real well or could have been better?

We know, for

10 1

example, that there were problems with the RCIC controller 2

that had to be in manual or are there any other equipment or 3

procedure things you noticed that had to be worked around or 4

didn't apply to the situation?

MR. HILLIKER: It's hard to tell exactly what was 6

caused --

what malfunctions were caused by the loss of 7

UPS's or if something wasn't working the way it was supposed 8

to.

We had trouble determining if all our control rods 10 were full in.

We knew our power was downscale and 11 indication where we couldn't tell for a few minutes if all 12 of the control rods were full and I don't know if that had 13 to do with the UPS failure or what.

14 MR. VATTER:

Do you know what they did to get the 15 control rod indication back?

16 MR. HILLIKER:

No.

I saw people working on that 17 but I am not sure exactly what they did.

18 MR.

KAUFFMAN:

Okay.

I don't have any more 19 questions.

I will throw the mike open to you though if you 20 have any questions or comments you would like to raise for 21 the record, anything that you want to talk about that we 22 didn't bring up or raise.

23 MR. HILLIKER: I can't think of anything I'd like 24 to add, I guess, no.

25 MR.

KAUFFMAN:

Okay.

That concludes the

1 interview.

[Whereupon, at 12:00 p.m., the taking of the 3

interview was concluded.]

Did you notice anything that didn' 25 work real well or could have been better?

We know, for

10 1

example, that there were problems with the RCIC controller 2

that had to be in manual or are there any other equipment or 3

procedure things you noticed that had to be worked around or 4

didn't apply to the situation?

MR. HILLIKER: It's hard to tell exactly what was 6

caused --

what malfunctions were caused by the loss of 7

UPS's or if something wasn't working the way it was supposed 8

to.

We had trouble determining if all our control rods 10 were full in.

We knew our power was downscale and 11 indication where we couldn't tell for a few minutes if all 12 of the control rods were full and I don't know if that had 13 to do with the UPS failure or what.

14 MR. VATTER:

Do you know what they did to get the 15 control rod indication back?

16 MR. HILLIKER:

No.

I saw people working on that 17 but I am not, sure exactly what they did.

18 MR.

KAUFFMAN:

Okay.

I don't have any more 19 questions.

I will throw the mike open to you though if you 20 have any questions or comments you would like to raise for 21 the record, anything that you want to talk about that we 22 didn'0 bring up or raise.

23 MR. HILLIKER: I can't think of anything I'd like 24 to add, I guess, no.

25 MR.

KAUFFMAN:

Okay.
