SUBJECT:
WATERFORD STEAM ELECTRIC STATION, UNIT 3 - AMENDED INTEGRATED INSPECTION REPORT 05000382/2025002
Dear Joseph Sullivan:
On June 30, 2025, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed an inspection at Waterford Steam Electric Station, Unit 3. On July 21, 2025, the NRC inspectors discussed the results of this inspection with you and other members of your staff. The results of this inspection are documented in the enclosed report.
The NRC identified the need to reissue NRC Inspection Report 05000382/2025002, dated August 6, 2025 (ADAMS Accession Number ML25216A248). Specifically, the inspection report should not have included a steam generator inservice inspection sample in Section 71111.08P -
Inservice Inspection Activities (PWR) and needed to correct the number of samples completed in Section 71153 - Follow-Up of Events and Notices of Enforcement Discretion, to two samples completed instead of one. Two findings of very low safety significance (Green) are documented in this report and were not affected by the two changes listed above.
This letter, its enclosure, and your response (if any) will be made available for public inspection and copying at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html and at the NRC Public Document Room in accordance with Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations 2.390, Public Inspections, Exemptions, Requests for Withholding.

List of Findings and Violations
Preventive Maintenance Planning Failed to Prevent a Safety-Related Valve Failure and Inoperability of an Emergency Diesel Generator Cornerstone Significance Cross-Cutting Aspect Report Section Mitigating Systems Green NCV 05000382/2025002-01 Open/Closed None (NPP)71111.15 The inspectors reviewed a self-revealed Green finding and associated non-cited violation of 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion V Instructions, Procedures and Drawings. Specifically, the licensee failed to develop and implement preventive maintenance strategies for the condensate makeup solenoids in the emergency diesel generators in accordance with procedure EN-DC-324, Preventive Maintenance Program.
Failure to Establish Adequate Surveillance Initial Conditions Resulted in Inadvertent Emergency Feedwater Isolation System Actuation and Reactor Protection Actuation Cornerstone Significance Cross-Cutting Aspect Report Section Initiating Events Green NCV 05000382/2025002-02 Open/Closed None (NPP)71153 The inspectors reviewed a self-revealed Green finding and associated non-cited violation of Technical Specification 6.8.1a, Procedures and Programs. Specifically, the licensee failed to properly implement procedure OP-903-014, Emergency Feedwater Flow Verification, during a planned startup which resulted in the inadvertent emergency feedwater actuation signal and an inadvertent reactor protection signal. The initial conditions for the procedure did not provide adequate margin to account for shrink caused by the initiation of emergency feedwater into the steam generator resulting in steam generator water level dropping below the emergency feedwater actuation signal and reactor protection signal actuation setpoint.

INSPECTION RESULTS
Preventive Maintenance Planning Failed to Prevent a Safety-Related Valve Failure and Inoperability of an Emergency Diesel Generator Cornerstone Significance Cross-Cutting Aspect Report Section Mitigating Systems Green NCV 05000382/2025002-01 Open/Closed None (NPP)71111.15 The inspectors reviewed a self-revealed Green finding and associated non-cited violation of 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion V Instructions, Procedures and Drawings. Specifically, the licensee failed to develop and implement preventive maintenance strategies for the condensate makeup solenoids in the emergency diesel generators in accordance with procedure EN-DC-324, Preventive Maintenance Program.
Description:
On March 16, 2025, emergency diesel generator A (EDG A) was declared inoperable due to jacket water temperature falling below its alarm setpoint of 100°F, to approximately 95°F. According to a 2005 evaluation by the licensee, a 10 second start of the diesel cannot be guaranteed with jacket water temperatures below 100°F; the 10-second diesel start time is a technical specification (TS) requirement. The lowered jacket water temperature was due to condensate makeup solenoid valve, CMU-524A, failing open, which provided constant flow through the system from the condensate storage pool, through the jacket water heat exchanger, to the jacket water standpipe overflow line. Troubleshooting of the valve found that the solenoids coil had failed.
During investigation of the failure, it was found that the valve was incorrectly classified as non-critical, high duty cycle, mild environment. This classification resulted in no preventive maintenance strategy for this valve. In accordance with procedure EN-DC-153, Preventive Maintenance Component Classification, revision 24, the solenoid valve should have been classified as high critical, high duty cycle, mild environment due to the valves failure resulting in the inoperability of EDG A.
It was also found that the current testing of the valve only included quarterly testing of open and close stroke times. The licensee reviewed this data for both CMU-524A and CMU-524B and found very little variance in results. This data shows that these valves remain operable during testing, but they do not adequately predict a failure of the solenoid operated valve. In accordance with procedure EN-DC-324, Preventive Maintenance Program, revision 31, successful implementation of a [Preventive Maintenance] Program should ultimately result in the identification of optimum level of [preventive maintenance] tasks necessary to achieve balance between plant equipment performance and effective use of resources. The licensee failed to adequately identify the optimum level of tasks to predict or prevent failure of CMU-524A. In order to identify the correct preventive maintenance strategy, the licensee used their own operating experience for the service life of these valves (22 years for CMU-524A and 30 years for CMU-524B), and industry guidance (20 year recommended coil replacement) to determine the correct maintenance periodicity.
Corrective Actions: The licensee initiated a condition report to enter this issue into the corrective action program. The condition report initiated an equipment failure evaluation with the following corrective actions: 1) issue a preventive maintenance change to revise the coding of the valve and create a 15-year replacement preventive maintenance for CMU-524A and CMU-524B, and 2) perform an extent of condition for EDG components that may be currently classified incorrectly or not have a preventive maintenance strategy that could potentially effect EDG operability.
Corrective Action References: CR-WF3-2025-00951.
Performance Assessment:
Performance Deficiency: The failure to develop and implement a replacement preventive maintenance strategy for the condensate makeup solenoid coils was a performance deficiency.
Screening: The inspectors determined the performance deficiency was more than minor because it was associated with the Equipment Performance 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, the failure to properly implement replacement preventive maintenance strategies resulted in the failure of the condensate makeup valve coil, challenged the ability of the diesel to meet TS requirements, and resulted in inoperability of EDG A.
Significance: The inspectors assessed the significance of the finding using IMC 0609 Appendix A, The Significance Determination Process (SDP) for Findings At-Power. The inspectors determined the finding impacted mitigating systems and used exhibit 2 to evaluate the condition. The finding was determined to be of very low safety significance (Green)because it
- (1) was not a deficiency affecting design or qualification of a mitigating system,
- (2) does not represent a loss of the probability risk analysis (PRA) function of a single train TS system for greater than allowed outage time,
- (3) does not represent a loss of PRA function of one train of a multi-train TS system for greater than its allowed outage time,
- (4) does not represent a loss of the PRA function of two separate TS systems for greater than 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />,
- (5) does not represent a loss of PRA system and/or function as defined by the plant risk information e-book or the licensees PRA for greater than 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />, and
- (6) does not result in the loss of a high safety-significant, non-TS train for greater than 3 days.
Cross-Cutting Aspect: No cross-cutting aspect was assigned to this finding because the inspectors determined the finding did not reflect present licensee performance.
Enforcement:
Violation: Title 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion V Instructions, Procedures and Drawings, states in part, that activities affecting quality shall be prescribed by documented instructions, procedures, or drawings, of a type appropriate to the circumstances. The licensee established procedure EN-DC-324, Preventive Maintenance Program, Revision 31, in part to meet this requirement.
Contrary to the above, from 1989 to March 16, 2025, the licensee failed to adequately establish a preventive maintenance strategy in accordance with their quality procedure for the replacement of the condensate makeup solenoid valve coil, which resulted in the inoperability of emergency diesel generator A. Specifically, the licensee failed to properly classify the solenoid valves as high critical components due to their failure effecting the operability of the emergency diesel generators, and subsequently failed to develop a preventive maintenance strategy adequate to predict and prevent failures of the valve which resulted in the inoperability of EDG A.
Enforcement Action: This violation is being treated as a non-cited violation, consistent with Section 2.3.2 of the Enforcement Policy.
Minor Violation 71152A Minor Violation: Title 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion III Design Control, states in part, that measures shall be established to assure that applicable regulatory requirements and the design basis for systems, structures and components are correctly translated into specifications, drawings, procedures and instructions and that measures also 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 the SSCs. The licensee established procedure EN-DC-115, Engineering Change Process, revision 15, in part to meet this requirement.
Contrary to the above, from 2013 to February 8, 2025, the licensee failed to adequately assure that the design basis was correctly translated into specifications, procedures, and instructions for emergency diesel generator A. Specifically, the licensee did not adequately evaluate the digital reference unit (DRU) high limit droop setpoint during the engineering change process, nor did the licensee adequately evaluate vendor recommendations for the DRU high limit droop setpoint during the causal analysis process. The emergency diesel generator only operates in the droop mode of operation when paralleling to the grid, therefore this setpoint does not affect the isochronous mode of the diesel used in an emergency; however, the inadequate evaluation of the setpoint resulted in emergency diesel generator A not being able to achieve 4700-4900 KW during the 24-hour diesel surveillance as required by technical specifications and resulted in the inoperability of the diesel.
Screening: The inspectors determined the performance deficiency was minor. Based on review of more-than-minor questions in IMC 0612, appendix B, informed by minor issue examples for performance deficiencies (IMC 0612, appendix E), this issue screens to minor.
Specifically, due to the fact the emergency diesel generator only operates in isochronous mode during an emergency run, this performance deficiency did not adversely affect a cornerstone objective, would not lead to a more significant safety concern if left uncorrected, and could not reasonably by viewed as a precursor to a significant event.
Enforcement:
This failure to comply with 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion III Design Control constitutes a minor violation that is not subject to enforcement action in accordance with the NRCs Enforcement Policy.
Failure to Establish Adequate Surveillance Initial Conditions Resulted in Inadvertent Emergency Feedwater Isolation System Actuation and Reactor Protection Actuation Cornerstone Significance Cross-Cutting Aspect Report Section Initiating Events Green NCV 05000382/2025002-02 Open/Closed None (NPP)71153 The inspector reviewed a self-revealed Green finding and associated non-cited violation of Technical Specification 6.8.1a, Procedures and Programs. Specifically, the licensee failed to properly implement procedure OP-903-014, Emergency Feedwater Flow Verification, during a planned startup which resulted in the inadvertent emergency feedwater actuation signal and an inadvertent reactor protection signal. The initial conditions for the procedure did not provide adequate margin to account for shrink caused by the initiation of emergency feedwater into the steam generator resulting in steam generator water level dropping below the emergency feedwater actuation signal and reactor protection signal actuation setpoint.
Description:
On July 17, 2024, during a reactor startup, while in Mode 3, the site performed a surveillance of the emergency feed water pump AB in accordance with procedure OP-903-014, Emergency Feedwater Flow Verification. As allowed per the procedure at the time, the site lowered steam generator 1 water level to 30 percent upon initiating emergency feed flow per procedure OP-903-014, the initial shrink caused by the introduction of emergency feedwater due to the difference in enthalpies between the condensate storage pool and the steam generator resulted in steam generator 1 water level dropping below 27.4 percent which corresponds to the reactor trip signal and the emergency feed actuation signal setpoints.
Since all control element assemblies were fully inserted and all control element assembly disconnects were open, no reactor trip occurred; however, the reactor trip circuit breakers did open on the valid reactor trip actuation signal. Additionally, the entire emergency feed system did fully actuate as designed on a valid loss of steam generator water level signal. The operators took manual control of the emergency feed system and restored steam generator water level above emergency feed actuation signal reset setpoint.
In a previous revision of procedure OP-903-014 from at least before 1999, the licensee procedures initial conditions stated the steam generator level should be above at least 27.4 percent, which corresponds to the reactor trip signal and the emergency feed actuation signal setpoints. The site recognized the need for additional margin to prevent an inadvertent trip condition and established the initial conditions to be at least 30 percent steam generator water level. In the most recent performances of the surveillance, the site established a steam generator water level of at least 39.78 percent or higher. In each of these previous surveillances, the steam generator water level did experience an initial shrink when emergency feedwater was initiated. When revising the initial conditions of the minimum steam generator water level for the emergency feedwater flow surveillance from 27.4 to 30 percent, the site did not adequately assess for the effects of shrink and established adequate initial conditions to prevent an unplanned initiation of the emergency feedwater actuation signal nor a reactor trip.
Corrective Actions: The licensee initiated a condition report to enter this issue into the corrective action program. The condition report initiated an adverse condition analysis with the following corrective action: revise procedure OP-903-014 to provide a more restrictive steam generator level control band to provide adequate margin to the emergency feedwater actuation signal (EFAS) and reactor protection signal (RPS) trip setpoint.
Corrective Action References: CR-WF3-2024-02523
Performance Assessment:
Performance Deficiency: The failure to implement adequate initial conditions for the performance of a surveillance affecting safety-related equipment was a performance deficiency. Specifically, the failure to implement a restrictive steam generator level control band prior to manually initiating emergency feedwater flow resulted in steam generator 1 water level dropping below the EFAS and RPS trip setpoint causing an inadvertent initiation of both EFAS and RPS.
Screening: The inspectors determined the performance deficiency was more than minor because it was associated with the Procedure Quality attribute of the Initiating Events cornerstone and adversely affected the cornerstone objective to limit the likelihood of events that upset plant stability and challenge critical safety functions during shutdown as well as power operations. Specifically, the failure to implement adequate initial conditions prior to the manual initiation of emergency feedwater pump AB resulted in an unplanned actuation of EFAS system components and an unplanned actuation of RPS components due to steam generator 1 water level dropping below the trip setpoint.
Significance: The inspectors assessed the significance of the finding using IMC 0609 Appendix A, The Significance Determination Process (SDP) for Findings At-Power.
Specifically, this event did not cause a reactor trip, did not prevent safety systems such as emergency feedwater from operating as designed, and did not prevent main feedwater from being returned to service by the operators.
Cross-Cutting Aspect: No cross-cutting aspect was assigned to this finding because the inspectors determined the finding did not reflect present licensee performance.
Enforcement:
Violation: Technical Specification 6.8.1.a, Procedures and Programs, states in part, that written procedures shall be established, implemented, and maintained covering the applicable procedures listed in Regulatory Guide 1.33, Quality Assurance Program Requirements, Revision 2, Appendix A, February 1978.
Regulatory Guide 1.33, Revision 2, Appendix A, Section 3.k Procedures for Startup, Operation, and Shutdown of Safety-Related PWR Systems, states, in part, that instructions for the startup, shutdown, and changing modes of operation should be prepared, as appropriate, for the feedwater system.
Contrary to the above, from 1999 to July 17, 2024, the licensee failed to prepare, as appropriate, instructions for the startup, shutdown, and changing modes of operation for the feedwater system. Specifically, the licensee failed to establish adequate initial conditions for the performance of a surveillance for the emergency feedwater system which resulted in the steam generator 1 water level dropping below the EFAS and RPS trip setpoints and causing an inadvertent EFAS and RPS actuation.
Enforcement Action: This violation is being treated as a non-cited violation, consistent with Section 2.3.2 of the Enforcement Policy.
