SUMMARY
IR 05000458/2014007; 07/21/2014 - 10/01/2014; River Bend Station; Component Design Bases Inspection, Follow-up of Events and Notices of Enforcement Discretion
The report covers an announced inspection by a team of five regional inspectors and two contractors. Five findings of very low safety significance (Green) are documented in this report. All five of these findings involved violations of U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC)requirements. Additionally, NRC inspectors documented one licensee-identified violation of very low safety significance. The final significance of most findings is indicated by their color (Green, White, Yellow, Red) using Inspection Manual Chapter (IMC) 0609, "Significance Determination Process." Findings for which the significance determination process does not apply may be Green or be assigned a severity level after the NRC management review.
Violations of NRC requirements are dispositione d in accordance with the NRC~s Enforcement Policy. The NRC's program for overseeing the safe operation of commercial nuclear power reactors is described in NUREG-1649, "Reac tor Oversight Process," Revision 4, dated December 2006.
Cornerstone: Mitigating Systems
- Green.
The inspectors identified a Green, non-cited violation of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion XI, "Test Control," which states, in part, "A test program shall be established to assure that all testing required to demonstrate that structures, systems, and components will perform satisfactorily in service is identified and performed in accordance with written test procedures which incorporate the requirements and acceptance limits contained in applicable design documents." Specifically, the licensee's preventive maintenance Procedure T429, "ABB 5HK Clean/Inspection," failed to incorporate completion of contact resistance testing prior to maintenance into the preventative maintenance procedures for 4160 Vac circuit breakers as specified by Entergy, the manufacturer, and industry guidance. This condition does not represent an immediate safety concern. This finding has been entered into licensee's corrective action program as Condition Report CR-RBS- 2014-4104.
This performance deficiency was more than minor, and therefore a finding, because, if left uncorrected, it would have the potential to lead to a more significant safety concern.
Specifically, the failure to perform contact resistance tests prior to maintenance was a significant programmatic deficiency which would have the potential to cause unacceptable or degraded conditions to go undetected. In accordance with Inspection Manual Chapter 0609, Appendix A, "The Significance Determination Process (SDP) for Findings At-Power," dated June 19, 2012, Exhibit 2, "M itigating Systems Screening Questions," the issue screened as having very low safety si gnificance (Green) because it was a design or qualification deficiency that did not represent a loss of operability or functionality; did not represent an actual loss of safety function of the system or train; did not result in the loss of one or more trains of non-technical specification equipment; and did not screen as potentially risk-significant due to seismic, flooding, or severe weather. This finding had a cross-cutting aspect associated with identification in the area of problem identification and resolution because the licensee failed to identify issues completely, accurately, and in a timely manner in accordance with the corrective action program [P.1]. (Section 1R21.2.4)
- Green.
The inspectors identified a Green, non-cited violation of Technical Specification 5.4.1, "Procedures," which states, in part, "Written procedures shall be established, implemented, and maintained, covering the following activities: The applicable procedures recommended in Regulatory Guide 1.33, Appendix A, February 1978."
Regulatory Guide 1.33, Appendix A, Section 9, "Procedures for Performing Maintenance," paragraph b., requires that preventive maintenance schedules should be developed to specify lubrication schedules, inspections of equipment, and inspection or replacement of parts that have a specific lifetime. Specifically, the licensee failed to implement the six-year cleaning and inspection preventive maintenance for Division III 4160 Vac safety-related circuit breakers, E22-S004-ACB1, E22-S004-ACB2, and E22-S004-ACB4.
These conditions do not represent an immediate safety concern. These conditions have been entered into the licensees corrective action program as Condition Reports CR-RBS-2014-4106 and CR-RBS-2014-4108.
This performance deficiency was more than minor, and therefore a finding, because it was associated with the equipment performance attribute of the mitigating systems cornerstone and adversely affects the cornerstone objective to ensure the availability, reliability, and capability of systems that respond to events to prevent undesirable consequences.
Specifically, the licensee's failure to complete preventive maintenance reduces the reliability and capability of the safety-related circuit breakers. In accordance with Inspection Manual Chapter 0609, Appendix A, "The Significance Determination Process (SDP) for Findings At-Power," dated June 19, 2012, Exhibit 2, "Mitigating Systems Screening Questions," the issue screened as having very low safety si gnificance (Green) because it was a design or qualification deficiency that did not represent a loss of operability or functionality; did not represent an actual loss of safety function of the system or train; did not result in the loss of one or more trains of non-technical specification equipment; and did not screen as potentially risk-significant due to seismic, flooding, or severe weather. This finding had a cross-cutting aspect associated with design margin in the area of human performance because the licensee did not operate or maintain equipment within design margin and failed to make changes to the margin through a systematic and rigorous process [H.6].
(Section 1R21.2.6)
- Green.
The inspectors identified a Green, non-cited violation of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion V, "Instructions, Procedures, Drawings," which states, "Activities affecting quality shall be prescribed by documented instructions, procedures, or drawings, of a type appropriate to the circumstances and shall be accomplished in accordance with these instructions, procedures, or drawings." Specifically, River Bend Station failed to accomplish operability determination activities in accordance with Procedure EN-OP-104, "Operability Determination Process," after the licensee identified that safety-related Division III 4160 Vac circuit breakers exceeded their replacement and refurbishment schedule. As an immediate corrective action, the licensee completed a new operability determination, which determined the condition as operable, but degraded/nonconforming, established an interim inspection schedule and established a plan to refurbish the breakers prior to the next refueling outage.
This condition has been entered into the licensees corrective action program as Condition Report CR-RBS-2014-3872.
The performance deficiency was more than minor, and therefore a finding, because it was associated with the equipment performance attribute of the mitigating system 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 operability determination performed did not consider the degraded condition of the circuit breaker so that effective interim or compensatory measures would be developed to ensure the reliability of the safety-related Division III 4160 Vac circuit breakers.
In accordance with Inspection Manual Chapter 0609, Appendix A, "The Significance Determination Process (SDP) for Findings At-Power," dated June 19, 2012, Exhibit 2,
"Mitigating Systems Screening Questions," the issue screened as having very low safety significance (Green) because it was a design or qualification deficiency that did not represent a loss of operability or functionality; did not represent an actual loss of safety function of the system or train; did not result in the loss of one or more trains of non-technical specification equipment; and did not screen as potentially risk-significant due to seismic, flooding, or severe weather. This finding had a cross-cutting aspect associated with conservative bias in the area of human performance because licensee personnel failed to use conservative assumptions and did not verify the validity of the underlying assumptions used in making safety-significant decisions [H.14]. (Section 1R21.2.6)
- Green.
The inspectors identified a Green, non-cited violation of 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criteria XVI, "Corrective Action," which states in part, "Measures shall be established to assure that conditions adverse to quality, such as failures, malfunctions, deficiencies, deviations, defective material and equipment, and nonconformances are promptly identified and corrected." Specifically, the licensee failed to correct an identified deficiency in calculations for reactor core isolation cooling steam isolation valves with the design function of closing under High Energy Line Break concurrent with degraded voltage through either a calculation revision or engineering change against the calculation. The licensee's corrective actions included completing an operability determination with test data to demonstrate operability. This finding was entered into the licensee corrective action program as
Condition Report CR-RBS-2014-3977.
The performance deficiency was more than minor, and therefore a finding, because it was associated with the design control attribute of the Mitigating Systems Cornerstone and adversely affected the cornerstone objective of assuring the availability, reliability, and capability of systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences. Specifically, the licensee programmatically failed to update design basis documents to reflect plant modifications. The inspectors identified multiple opportunities for the licensee to correct this condition. In accordance with Inspection Manual Chapter 0609, Appendix A,
"The Significance Determination Process (SDP) for Findings At-Power," dated June 19, 2012, Exhibit 2, "Mitigating Systems Screening Questions," the issue screened as having very low safety significance (Green) because it was a design or qualification deficiency that did not represent a loss of operability or functionality; did not represent an actual loss of safety function of the system or train; did not result in the loss of one or more trains of non-technical specification equipment; and did not screen as potentially risk-significant due to seismic, flooding, or severe weather. The inspectors determined that this finding had a cross-cutting aspect associated with resolution in the area of problem identification and resolution because the licensee failed to take effective corrective actions to address issues in a timely manner commensurate with their safety significance [P.3]. (Section 1R21.2.9)
- Green.
The inspectors identified a Green, non-cited violation of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion XVI, Corrective Action, which states, "Measures shall be established to assure that conditions adverse to quality, such as failures, malfunctions, deficiencies, deviations, defective material and equipment, and nonconformances are promptly identified and corrected." Specifically, the licensee failed to promptly correct a condition adverse quality by implementing compensatory measures to restore compliance with the standby service water system 30-day mission requirements pending NRC approval of a license amendment. On July 8, 2014, the licensee implemented compensatory measures to restore compliance to ensure a 30-day inventory in the standby service water system. This issue was entered into the corrective action program as Condition Report CR-2014-3212.
This performance deficiency was more than minor, and therefore a finding, because, if left uncorrected, it would lead to a more significant safety concern. Specifically, the licensee failed to implement compensatory measures to ensure the standby service water system would meet its 30-day mission requirement. In accordance with NRC Inspection Manual Chapter 0609, Attachment 4, "Initial Screening and Characterization of Findings," the finding represented a loss of system safety function in that the ultimate heat sink could not meet its 30-day mission time to provide decay heat removal. Therefore, a detailed risk evaluation was necessary. An assessment was performed in accordance with Inspection Manual Chapter 0609, Appendix M, "Significance Determination Process Using Qualitative Criteria."
The finding was determined to be of very low safety significance (Green) because the frequency of events that would require long term use of the ultimate heat sink is very low and the difference in the failure probability to replenish the ultimate heat sink in 10 days versus 30 days is very small. This was because an early depletion of the inventory would be easily detected and would become a priority. At the time that replenishment would be needed, plant conditions should be stable and local transportation arteries should be restored. This finding has a cross-cutting aspect associated with evaluation in the area of problem identification and resolution because the licensee failed to thoroughly evaluate problems to ensure that resolutions address cause and extent of condition commensurate with their safety significance [P.2].

REPORT DETAILS
REACTOR SAFETY
Cornerstones: Initiating Events, Mitigating Systems, and Barrier Integrity This inspection of component design bases verifies that plant components are maintained within their design basis. Additionally, this inspection provides monitoring of the capability of the selected components and operator actions to perform their design basis functions. As plants age, modifications may alter or disable important design features making the design bases difficult to determine or obsolete. The plant risk assessment model assumes the capability of safety systems and components to perform their intended safety function successfully. This inspectable area verifies aspects of the Initiating Events, Mitigating Systems, and Barrier Integrity cornerstones for which there are no indicators to measure performance.
1R21 Component Design Basis Inspection
.1 Overall Scope
To assess the ability of the River Bend Station equipment and operators to perform their required safety functions, the inspectors inspected risk-significant components and the licensee's responses to industry operating experience. The inspectors selected risk-significant components for review using information contained in the River Bend Station probabilistic risk assessments and the U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission's (NRC) standardized plant analysis risk model. In general, the selection process focused on components that had a risk achievement worth factor greater than 1.3 or a risk reduction worth factor greater than 1.005. The items selected included components in both safety-related and nonsafety-related systems including pumps, circuit breakers, heat exchangers, transformers, and valves. The inspectors selected the risk-significant operating experience to be inspected based on its collective past experience.
To verify that the selected components would function as required, the team reviewed design basis assumptions, calculations, and procedures. In some instances, the inspectors performed calculations to independently verify the licensee's conclusions. The inspectors also verified that the condition of the components was consistent with the design basis and that the tested capabilities met the required criteria.
The inspectors reviewed maintenance work records, corrective action documents, and industry operating experience records to verify that licensee personnel considered degraded conditions and their impact on the components. For selected components, the inspectors observed operators during simulator scenarios, as well as during simulated actions in the plant.
The inspectors performed a margin assessment and detailed review of the selected risk-significant components to verify that the design bases have been correctly implemented and maintained. This design margin assessment considered original design issues, margin reductions because of modifications, and margin reductions identified as a result of material condition issues. Equipment reliability issues were also considered in the selection of components for detailed review. These included items such as failed performance test results; significant corrective actions; repeated maintenance; 10 CFR 50.65(a)1 status; operable, but degraded conditions; NRC resident inspector input of problem equipment; system health reports; industry operating experience; and licensee problem equipment lists. Consideration was also given to the uniqueness and complexity of the design, operating experience, and the available defense-in-depth margins.
The inspection procedure requires a review of 15 to 25 total samples that include risk-significant and low design margin components, components that affect the large-early-release-frequency (LERF), and operating experience issues. The sample selection for this inspection was 18 components, 1 compenent that affects LERF, and 7 operating experience items. The selected inspection and associated operating experience items supported risk-significant functions including the following:
a. Electrical power to mitigation systems: The inspectors selected several components in the electrical power distribution systems to verify operability to supply alternating current (ac) and direct current (dc) power to risk-significant and safety-related loads in support of safety system operation in response to initiating events such as loss of offsite power, station blackout, and a loss-of-coolant accident with offsite power available. As such the inspectors selected:
- Division II 480 Vac auxiliary building load center, EJS-SWG2B
- Division I Motor Control Center, EHS-MCC16A
- Division II 480 Vac control building switchgear, EJS-SWG1B
- Division II 4160 Vac control building switchgear, ENS-SWG1B

1. Improper Sequencing of Maintenance of 4160 Vac Circuit Breakers Prior to As-Found
Tests
Introduction.
The inspectors identified a Green, non-cited violation of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion XI, "Test Control." Specifically, the licensee's preventive maintenance procedures for 4160 Vac breakers, failed to incorporate completion of as-found tests prior to maintenance of the 4160 Vac circuit breakers as specified by Entergy, manufacturers, and industry guidance.
Description.
The inspectors reviewed the six-year preventive maintenance procedures for the safety-related 4160 Vac circuit breakers. During the review, the inspectors identified that Procedure T429, "ABB 5HK Clean/Inspection," did not perform appropriate as-found contact resistance tests prior to performance of maintenance of the safety-related 4160 Vac circuit breakers. The as-found contact resistance test is critical to determine if degraded conditions exist in the circuit breaker.
For example, the ABB 5HK Procedure T429 di rected maintenance personnel to clean the physical condition of the circuit breaker contacts prior to performing an as-found test to determine if the circuit breakers would have performed their intended design function.
In particular, step 4.5.23, states, "clean the circuit breaker's contacts and surface of the entire current carrying structure, as well as all insulation surfaces with a cloth and approved oil free solvent." Later in step 4.8, the maintenance personnel are directed to take the first main contact resistance measurement. Step 4.5.23 is completed before any as-found main contact resistance tests are performed to verify the function of the critical components of the circuit breaker.
The licensee's 4160 Vac circuit breaker maintenance and testing program was established using Preventive Maintenance Basis Template, "EN-Switchgear- Medium Voltage-1 KV to 7KV." This 4160 Vac preventive maintenance basis template establishes the cleaning, inspection, and testing program which incorporates inspection guidance from manufacturer documents and Electrical Power Research Institute guidelines; specifically, TR-109642, "Routine Preventive Maintenance Guidance for ABB HK Circuit Breakers." The Preventive Maintenance Basis Template, "Breaker - Detailed Inspection, Cleaning, & Testing," section states the procedure should include performing a contact resistance test. EPRI TR 109642, Chapter 4, "Maintenance Tasks," states that as-found inspection and tests, including contact resistance, should be completed prior to maintenance.
In March 2014 River Bend Station completed an audit, LO-RLO-2012-0111, of the Breaker Preventive Maintenance Program which identified various weaknesses. One of the weaknesses identified was that the similar 4160 Vac preventive maintenance procedures did not always incorporate industry guidance; however, corrective action documents were not generated to identify issues with the T429 procedure. Therefore, the inspectors determined that the identification cross-cutting aspect in the area of problem identification and resolution was warranted.
Analysis.
The inspectors determined that failure to establish a test program which incorporates completion of contact resistance testing prior to maintenance of safety-related 4160 Vac circuit breakers was a performance deficiency. This performance deficiency was more than minor, and therefore a finding, because, if left uncorrected, it would have the potential to lead to a more significant safety concern.
Specifically, the failure to perform contact resistance tests prior to maintenance was a significant programmatic deficiency which would have the potential to cause unacceptable or degraded conditions to go undetected. In accordance with Inspection Manual Chapter 0609, Appendix A, "The Significance Determination Process (SDP) for Findings At-Power," dated June 19, 2012, Exhibit 2, "Mitigating Systems Screening Questions," the issue screened as having very low safety significance (Green) because it was a design or qualification deficiency that did not represent a loss of operability or functionality; did not represent an actual loss of safety function of the system or train; did not result in the loss of one or more trains of non-technical specification equipment; and did not screen as potentially risk-significant due to seismic, flooding, or severe weather. This finding had a cross-cutting aspect associated with identification in the area of problem identification and resolution because the licensee failed to identify issues completely, accurately, and in a timely manner in accordance with the corrective action program [P.1].
Enforcement.
The inspectors identified a Green, non-cited violation of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion XI, "Test Control," which states, in part, "A test program shall be established to assure that all testing required to demonstrate that structures, systems, and components will perform satisfactorily in service is identified and performed in accordance with written test procedures which incorporate the requirements and acceptance limits contained in applicable desig n documents." Contrary to the above, prior to August 21, 2014, the licensee failed to establish a test program that assured that all testing required to demonstrate that structures, systems, and components will perform satisfactorily in service was identified and performed in accordance with written test procedures which incorporated the requirements and acceptance limits contained in applicable design documents. Specifically, the licensee's preventive maintenance Procedure T429, "ABB 5HK Clean/Inspection," failed to incorporate completion of contact resistance testing prior to maintenance into the preventative maintenance procedures for 4160 Vac circuit breakers as specified by Entergy, manufacturer, and industry guidance. This condition does not represent an immediate safety concern.
This finding has been entered into licensee's corrective action program as Condition Report CR-RBS- 2014-4104. Because the finding is of very low safety significance (Green) and has been entered into the licensee corrective action program, this violation is being treated as non-cited violation, consistent with Section 2.3.2.a of the NRC Enforcement Policy: NCV 05000458/2014007-01, "Improper Sequencing of Maintenance of 4160 Vac Circuit Breakers Prior to As-Found Tests."

Failure to Complete and Justify Extension of Preventative Maintenance on Division III 4160 Vac Safety Related Breakers
Introduction.
The inspectors identified a Green, non-cited violation of Technical Specification 5.4.1.a, "Procedures." Specifically, the licensee failed to implement the six-year preventive maintenance schedule for safety-related Division III 4160 Vac Magne-Blast circuit breakers, E22-S004-ACB1, E22-S004-ACB2, and E22-S004-ACB4.
Additionally, the licensee failed to provide an adequate technical justification for extending the preventive maintenance schedule of the circuit breakers in accordance with River Bend Station procedures.
Description.
The inspectors reviewed completed preventive maintenance activities for the cleaning and inspection of safety-related Division III 4160 Vac circuit breakers under preventive maintenance task, PMRQ 9484-01. The cleaning and inspection of these circuit breakers, under PMRQ 9484-01, is performed on a once per six-year frequency. The six-year maintenance frequency is documented in the Entergy fleet Preventive Maintenance Basis Template "EN-Switchgear - Medium Voltage - 1KV to 7KV (Rev. 3-09/25/08)." The licensee previously completed cleaning and inspection activities for these safety-related circuit breakers on June 17, 2005. Therefore, the cleaning and inspection activities should have been scheduled to occur by June 2011.
On May 24, 2011, the licensee changed the preventive maintenance frequency from once per six years to once per eight years. The inspectors reviewed "PMOG Review of PM Process Change" associated with Action Request 122700, which included the reason and justification for the change. The Preventive Maintenance Oversight Group (PMOG) justification stated, "Frequency changes to support the long range outage plan for 24 month refueling cycle." The circuit breaker preventive maintenance activities were to be completed by April 18, 2015. However, this date was based on the year the previous maintenance work orders were closed, 2007, not the actual completion of the work activity, which was 2005.
Entergy Procedure EN-DC-324, "Preventive Maintenance Program," Section 5.9, states that the River Bend Station PMOG can make risk-based decisions regarding preventive maintenance implementation. However, the frequency change associated with Action Request 122700 did not include an adequate risk-based justification for this decision. Therefore, there was not a risk-based justification to increase from a six-year frequency to a eight-year frequency.
While reviewing the work orders to perform cleaning and inspection activities, the inspectors noted that, as of August 21, 2014, safety-related circuit breakers, E22-S004-ACB1 (Division III EDG Output Breaker), E22-S004-ACB2 (HPCS Motor Feeder Breaker), and E22-S004-ACB4 (Division III Offsite Power Supply) had exceeded their six-year, plus grace period of twenty-five percent, preventive maintenance frequency to clean and inspect the circuit breakers. The preventive maintenance for the subject circuit breakers were scheduled to occur in 2013; however, the maintenance was not completed.
Analysis.
The inspectors determined that the failure to implement the cleaning and inspection of safety-related Division III 4160 Vac circuit breakers in accordance with the specified preventive maintenance schedule was a performance deficiency. The performance deficiency was more than minor, and therefore a finding, because it was associated with the equipment performance attribute of the mitigating systems cornerstone and adversely affects the cornerstone objective to ensure the availability, reliability, and capability of systems that respond to events to prevent undesirable consequences. Specifically, failure to implement preventive maintenance reduces the reliability and capability of the safety-related circuit breakers. In accordance with Inspection Manual Chapter 0609, Appendix A, "The Significance Determination Process (SDP) for Findings At-Power," dated June 19, 2012, Exhibit 2, "Mitigating Systems Screening Questions," the issue screened as having very low safety significance (Green) because it was a design or qualification deficiency that did not represent a loss of operability or functionality; did not represent an actual loss of safety function of the system or train; did not result in the loss of one or more trains of non-technical specification equipment; and did not screen as potentially risk-significant due to seismic, flooding, or severe weather. This finding had a cross-cutting aspect associated with design margin in the area of human performance because the licensee did not operate or maintain equipment within design margin and failed to make changes to the margin through a systematic and rigorous process [H.6].
Enforcement.
The inspectors identified a Green, non-cited violation of Technical Specification 5.4.1, "Procedures," which states, in part, "Written procedures shall be established, implemented, and maintained covering the following activities: The applicable procedures recommended in Regulatory Guide 1.33, Appendix A, February
1978." Regulatory Guide 1.33, Appendix A, Section 9, "Procedures for Performing Maintenance," paragraph b., requires that preventive maintenance schedules should be developed to specify lubrication schedules, inspections of equipment, and inspection or replacement of parts that have a specific lifetime. Contrary to the this, from June 17, 2005, to August 21, 2014, the licensee failed to implement applicable procedures recommended in Regulatory Guide 1.33, Appendix A, Section 9, "Procedures for Performing Maintenance." Specifically, the licensee failed implement the six-year cleaning and inspection preventive maintenance for Division III 4160 Vac safety-related circuit breakers, E22-S004-ACB1, E22-S004-ACB2, and E22-S004-ACB4. These conditions have been entered into the licensees corrective action program as Condition Reports CR-RBS-2014-4106 and CR-RBS-2014-4108. Because this finding was of very low safety significance (Green) and was entered into the licensee's corrective action program, this violation is being treated as an non-cited violation, consistent with Section 2.3.2.a of NRC Enforcement policy: NCV 05000458/2014007-02, "Failure to Complete and Justify Extension of Preventative Maintenance on Division III 4160 Vac Safety Related Breakers."
Failure to Perform an Adequate Operability Determination for Missed Preventive Maintenance on Safety-Related Circuit Breakers
Introduction.
The inspectors identified a Green, non-cited violation of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion V, "Instructions, Proc edures, Drawings." Specifically, the licensee failed to correctly evaluate the operability of safety-related Division III 4160 Vac circuit breakers that exceeded their replacement/refurbishment schedule.
Description.
The inspectors reviewed Condition Report CR-RBS-2014-1977 which documented that the licensee did not implement the 12-year replacement/refurbishment schedule for safety-related Division III 4160 Vac Magne-Blast circuit breakers E22-S004-ACB1, installed September 3, 1997; E22-S004-ACB2, installed June 3, 1999; E22-S004-ACB3, installed November 11,1998; E22-S004-ACB4, installed May 18, 1999); and E22-S004-ACB5, installed March 4,1999. The preventive maintenance schedule is documented in Entergy fleet Preventive Maintenance Basis Template "EN-Switchgear - Medium Voltage - 1KV to 7KV (Rev. 3-09/25/08)." The operability determination associated with this condition report determined that the Division III circuit breakers were operable.
The inspectors determined that the licensee did not recognize that the failure to implement the preventive maintenance schedule for the Division III 4160 Vac Magne-Blast circuit breakers resulted in a degraded or nonconforming condition. The failure to implement the preventive maintenance schedule was contrary to Technical Specification 5.4.1, "Procedures," to implement preventive maintenance schedules in accordance with Regulatory Guide 1.33, Appendix A, Section 9, "Procedures for Performing Maintenance." Based on NRC Manual Chapter 0326, "Operability Determinations and Functionality Assessments for Conditions Adverse to Quality or Safety," and Entergy Procedure EN-OP-104, "Operability Determination Process," the inspectors determined that the failure to implement preventive maintenance schedule was a degraded condition in which the qualification of the circuit breakers were not maintained. Additionally, this condition was also a nonconforming condition because the condition involved a failure of the licensee to meet its current licensing basis.
Therefore, because a degraded or nonconforming condition existed, the inspectors determined that the licensee failed to declare that the Division III 4160 Vac circuit breakers and its associated high pressure core spray system was in an operable, but degraded/nonconforming condition in accordance with Section 5.3, "Immediate Determination," of Procedure EN-OP-104, "Operability Determination Process."
Analysis.
The inspectors determined that the licensee's failure to declare Division III 4160 Vac circuit breakers and its associated high pressure core spray system in an operable, but degraded/nonconforming condition in accordance with Procedure EN-OP-104 was a performance deficiency. The performance deficiency was more than minor, and therefore a finding, because it was associated with the equipment performance attribute of the mitigating system 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 operability determination performed did not consider the degraded condition of the circuit breaker so that effective interim or compensatory measures would be developed to ensure the reliability of the safety-related Division III 4160 Vac circuit breakers. In accordance with Inspection Manual Chapter 0609, Appendix A, "The Significance Determination Process (SDP) for Findings At-Power," dated June 19, 2012, Exhibit 2, "Mitigating Systems Screening Questions," the issue screened as having very low safety significance (Green) because it was a design or qualification deficiency that did not represent a loss of operability or functionality; did not represent an actual loss of safety function of the system or train; did not result in the loss of one or more trains of non-technical specification equipment; and did not screen as potentially risk-significant due to seismic, flooding, or severe weather. This finding had a cross-cutting aspect associated with conservative bias in the area of human performance because licensee personnel failed to use conservative assumptions and did not verify the validity of the underlying assumptions used in making safety-significant decisions [H.14].
Enforcement.
The inspectors identified a Green, non-cited violation of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion V, "Instructions, Procedures, Drawings," which states, "Activities affecting quality shall be prescribed by documented instructions, procedures, or drawings, of a type appropriate to the circumstances and shall be accomplished in accordance with these instructions, procedures, or drawings." Contrary to the this, prior to August 21, 2014, the licensee failed to accomplish activities affecting quality in accordance with documented instruction or procedures. Specifically, River Bend Station failed to accomplish operability determination activities in accordance with Procedure EN-OP-104, "Operability Determination Process," after the licensee identified that safety-related Division III 4160 Vac circuit breakers exceeded their replacement and refurbishment schedule. As an immediate corrective action, the licensee completed a new operability determination, which determined the condition as operable but degraded/nonconforming, established an interim inspection schedule, and established a plan to refurbish the breakers prior to the next refueling outage. This condition has been entered into the licensees corrective action program as Condition Report CR-RBS-2014-3872. Because this violation was of very low safety significance, this violation is being treated as a non-cited violation, consistent with Section 2.3.2.a of the NRC Enforcement Policy: NCV 05000458/2014007-03, "Failure to Perform an Adequate Operability Determination for Missed Preventive Maintenance on Safety-Related Circuit Breakers."

b. Findings
Failure to Correct Identified Negative Safety Margin in Design Documents for Reactor Core Isolation Cooling Valves under Postulated High Energy Line Break Conditions
Introduction.
The inspectors identified a Green, non-cited violation of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion XVI, "Corrective Actions," involving the licensee's failure to assure that conditions adverse to quality are promptly identified and corrected. Specifically, the licensee failed to correct design basis documents to demonstrate reactor core isolation cooling (RCIC) steam supply valves E51-MOVF063 and E51-MOVF064 close during postulated high energy line break conditions.
Description.
Reactor core isolation cooling (RCIC) motor operated valve, E51-MOVF063, is the inboard steam supply valve and an inboard containment isolation valve. The E51-MOVF063 valve is in series with an outboard steam supply valve and an outboard containment isolation valve, E51-MOVF064. E51-MOVF063/64 have dual safety functions, first, to remain open and supply steam to the RCIC turbine, and second, to close under a RCIC isolation signal or a containment isolation signal. The RCIC isolation signal examined was the high energy line break (HELB) concurrent with degraded voltage scenario.
The ability for E51-MOVF063/64 to close under postulated HELB with degraded voltage is determined by comparing the numerical value of the actuator output capability under degraded voltage conditions to the minimum required thrust to close. The actuator output capability under degraded voltage should be larger than the minimum required thrust, meaning that the available thrust is larger than the required thrust and the valves will close. The actuator output capability under degraded voltage is a function of the operator output at reduced voltage and the stem factor. The motor operator output under degraded voltage is obtained by using the Commonwealth Edison Method, which de-rates the motor-name plate for elevated temperatures. The stem factor is obtained
analytically or through testing.
The inspectors reviewed the calculations supporting the design function of the E51-MOVF063/64 valves. From the River Bend Station Calculation 13.18.2.3*204, "NRC Generic Letter 89-10 Design Basis Review for E51-MOVF63/64," the inspectors determined the actuator output for E51-MOVF063/64 under degraded voltage is less than the minimum required thrust, and represent a safety margin of -20.9 percent and -22.1 percent, respectively. While revising this calculation, the licensee recognized that the operability and design function of the valves was not supported and entered the condition into the corrective action program as Condition Report CR-RBS-2011-8093.
As stated in Condition Report CR-RBS-2011-8093, the licensee addressed operability of the valve by using a revised degraded voltage and stem factors acquired through testing to calculate a revised minimum available thrust resulting in a positive safety margin of approximately 0.9 percent and 1.1 percent, respectively. However, the licensee failed to update Calculation 13.18.2.3*204, "NRC Generic Letter 89-10 Design Basis Review for E51-MOVF-63/64" to demonstrate that both E51-MOVF063/64 would be capable of performing their design function. From December 2011 to August 20, 2014, the licensee had the following opportunities to identify that the design basis function of E51-MOVF63/64 was not supported by the design basis calculations:
- During Revision 5 of Calculation 13.18.2.3*204 NRC Generic letter 89-10 Design Basis Review for E51-MOVF-63/64
- Condition Report CR-RBS-2011-8093 identified the negative safety margin and demonstrated operability for E51-MOVF63/64
- Stem factor test results from Refuel 17 for both E51-MOVF-63/64 were employed to determine the valve operability
- Engineering Change EC-31715 provided revised degraded voltages for minimum available thrust which were employed to determine the valves operability
- Calculation G13.18.2.3*316 Rev. 6 references Condition Report CR-RBS-2011-8093 as basis for accepting negative safety margin for E51-MOVF-63/64 Subsequent to the identification of this condition, the licensee was able to demonstrate that E51-MOVF063/64 would perform the safety function of closing under a High Energy Line Break concurrent with degraded voltage through an operability determination using a combination of test data and unofficial calculations. The licensee entered this condition into the corrective action program at Condition Report CR-RBS-2014-3977, with a corrective action to update Calculation 13.18.2.3*204, "NRC Generic Letter 89-10 Design Basis Review for E51-MOVF-63/64."
Analysis.
The inspectors determined that the failure to promptly correct design basis calculations for E51-MOVF063/64 to support the design function of closing under degraded voltage concurrent with High Energy Line Break, through either a revision of the calculation or engineering changes against the calculation, was a performance deficiency. The performance deficiency was more than minor, and therefore a finding, because it was associated with the design control attribute of the Mitigating Systems Cornerstone and adversely affected the cornerstone objective of assuring the availability, reliability, and capability of systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences. Specifically, the licensee programmatically failed to update design basis documents to reflect plant modifications. The inspectors identified multiple opportunities for the licensee to correct this condition. In accordance with Inspection Manual Chapter 0609, Appendix A, "The Significance Determination Process (SDP) for Findings At-Power," dated June 19, 2012, Exhibit 2, "Mitigating Systems Screening Questions," the issue screened as having very low safety significance (Green) because it was a design or qualification deficiency that did not represent a loss of operability or functionality; did not represent an actual loss of safety function of the system or train; did not result in the loss of one or more trains of non-technical specification equipment; and did not screen as potentially risk-significant due to seismic, flooding, or severe weather. The inspectors determined that this finding had a cross-cutting aspect associated with resolution in the area of problem identification and resolution because the licensee failed to take effective corrective actions to address issues in a timely manner commensurate with their safety significance [P.3].
Enforcement.
The inspectors identified a Green, non-cited violation of 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criteria XVI, "Corrective Action," which states in part, "Measures shall be established to assure that conditions adverse to quality, such as failures, malfunctions, deficiencies, deviations, defective material and equipment, and nonconformances are promptly identified and corrected." Contrary to this requirement, from December 2011 to August 12, 2014, the licensee failed to assure that conditions adverse to quality are promptly corrected. Specifically, the licensee failed to correct an identified negative safety margin in calculations for RCIC containment isolation valves with the design function of closing under High Energy Line Break concurrent with degraded voltage through either a calculation revision or engineering change to the calculation.
This finding was entered into the licensee corrective action program as Condition Report CR-RBS-2014-3977. The licensee's corrective actions included completing an operability determination with test data to demonstrate operability. Because this violation was of very low safety significance, this violation is being treated as an non-cited violation, consistent with Section 2.3.2.a of the NRC Enforcement Policy: NCV 05000458/2014007-04, "Failure to Correct Identified Negative Safety Margin in Design Documents for Reactor Core Isolation Cooling Valves under Postulated High Energy Line Break Conditions."

.4 Results of Reviews for Operator Actions
a. Inspection Scope
The inspectors selected risk-significant components and operator actions for review using information contained in the licensee's probabilistic risk assessment. This included components and operator actions that had a risk achievement worth factor greater than two or Birnbaum value greater than 1E-6.
For the review of operator actions, the inspectors observed operators during simulator scenarios associated with the selected components as well as observing simulated actions in the plant.
The selected operator actions were:
- Defeating the High Drywell Pressure and Low RPV water level containment vent and purge isolation interlocks. The inspectors observed an in-plant job performance measure where one operator completes Enclosure 28 of Emergency Operating Procedure 5. This activity was observed on two separate operators. This action is required to make reactor core isolation cooling available as an injection source. This activity was satisfactorily performed within the
required time.
- Align alternate power to E51-MOV063 from the Safe Shutdown Panel
. The inspectors observed an in-plant job pe rformance measure to align E51-MOV063 from its normal power supply and controls to the alternate shut down panel using the guidance provided in Attachment 14 of Abnormal Operating Procedure 31.
The activity was observed on two separate operators. This action is necessary for isolation during Event E51-XHE-FO-ALTPW that requires this valve to be energized from that alternate source to isolate a steam line rupture outside containment. This action is also required when a shut down from outside the control room is required. This activity was completed satisfactorily.
Recognize and direct the field operator to power ES51-MOV063 from the remote shut down panel from indications available in the control room
. The inspectors observed a simulator scenario that required the operator to diagnose that E51-MOV063 had lost power and will not close as needed to stop a steam line rupture outside of containment. The simulator scenario evaluated the ability to use the emergency operating procedure and abnormal operating procedures for a reactor core isolation cooling steam line break outside of primary containment with isolation failure. The scenario started at 90 percent reactor power due to condensate pump B being tagged out of service for motor inspection, mechanical maintenance has taken an oil sample on the reactor core isolation cooling turbine and the crew is directed to perform a slow roll of the turbine per Station Operation Procedre 35. During the reactor core isolation cooling run, EJS*SWG1B trips and locks out. The steam line break is inserted up stream of E51-F064. The reactor core isolation cooling supply isolation valve E51-F064 isolates, but E51-F063 does not due to the loss of Division II power. The reactor is manually scrammed and transfer from normal to preferred power is completed.
At this time, MPS-SWG1A will trip resulting in a loss of all condensate and feedwater. Additional failures were inserted to remove remaining injection sources to establish the conditions that were outlined in PRA event, E51-XHE-FO-ALTPW. The task that the operating crew was evaluated on was the ability to recognize that power is lost to E51-F063 and the valve is needed to be closed and dispatch a field operator to align Division I power to this valve in order to isolate the steam leak. This simulator scenario was performed on two separate operating crews. Both crews were able to determine the correct actions to perform with in the time requirements assumed in event E51-XHE-FO-ALTPW. The first operating crew determined the need to close MOV-63 within 1 minute of the initiation event and directed the work control center to dispatch an operator to align the valve to alternate power supply in twelve minute. The second operating crew immediately identified the need to power the valve from the alternate power supply and dispatched the Reactor Building Operator to perform the actions within four minutes. The activity was completed satisfactory.
- Provide makeup to standby cooling tower using compensatory actions.
LAR 2013-18 requested that the NRC approve crediting makeup to the standby cooling tower at approximately 22 days following a LOP-LOCA to account for leakage and for operations where more than the minimum required single division of Standby Service Water is in operation. Pending final resolution of a license amendment request, River Bend Station implemented compensatory measures to ensure that the standby cooling tower inventory is sufficient to meet the 30 day mission time of operation post-LOCA without normal makeup and considering leakage out of the standby service water system. River Bend Station issued Standing Order Number 287 which provided guidance on maintaining inventory of the standby service water system. Operations department performed a detailed walkdown of three methods available to the station to provide makeup. The methods included using the water from the circulating water flume utilizing a portable diesel driven pump, utilizing the fire water system powered from a portable diesel generator, and aligning temporary power to the deepwell pumps to provide makeup. All methods provided acceptable procedural guidance and all equipment that would be required was verified to be available and accessible. There were no issues noted during this walk down.

b. Findings
Failure to Promptly Correct Adverse Conditions Associated with Non-cited Violation 05000458/2011008-06
Introduction.
The inspectors identified a Green, non-cited violation of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion XVI, "Corrective Action," for the licensee's failure to promptly correct a condition adverse to quality. Specifically, the licensee failed to promptly correct a condition adverse quality by implementing compensatory measures to restore compliance with the standby service water design requirements.
Description.
On October 27, 2011, the NRC identified a Severity Level IV, non-cited violation of 10 CFR 50.59, "Changes, Tests, and Experiments," because River Bend Station failed to obtain a license amendment, pursuant to 10 CFR 50.90, prior to crediting nonsafety-related makeup capability to meet ultimate heat sink inventory
requirement to provide 30-day cooling water supply.
1 River Bend Station entered this non-cited violation into the corrective action program as Condition Report 2011-07674.
The licensee's corrective action, in association with other corrective actions, was to obtain a licensee amendment for this condition.
On February 10, 2014, the licensee submitted license amendment request LAR 2013-18 to the NRC under Entergy Letter RBG-47432. On July 2, 2014, based on safety concerns identified by the NRC during the license amendent request review, the licensee withdrew the license amendment r equest. The NRC concerns were that the licensee failed to address, in the license amendment request, the current system leakage's affect on the current operability and functional capability of the standby service water system to provide 30 days cooling water supply requirement. Additionally, the licensee did not provide information on the maximum allowed leakage with or without the
1 River Bend Station - NRC Component Design Basis Inspection Report 05000458/2011008, page 30, "Failure to Obtain NRC Approval for Change to Ultimate Heat Sink Inventory Requirements." (ML113400127)use of makeup to ensure the system met its functional design requirements. On July 8, 2014, River Bend Station implemented compensatory measures to restore the standby
service water system inventory to comply with the 30-day mission requirement. The compensatory measures included increasing the minimum water level of the standby cooling water tower basin and actions to reduce the heat load on the system during a design basis accident.
The inspectors determined, between October 27, 2011, and July 8, 2014, the licensee failed to implement compensatory measures to restore compliance with the standby service water system 30-day mission r equirements until NRC approval of a license amendment. Without the implementation of the compensatory measure, River Bend Station could not ensure that the standby serv ice water system would meet its functional requirements to supply cooling water for 30 days.
Analysis.
The inspectors determined that the failure to promptly correct a condition adverse to quality existing in the standby service water system was a performance deficiency. This performance deficiency was more than minor, and therefore a finding, because, if left uncorrected, it would lead to a more significant safety concern.
Specifically, the licensee failed to implement compensatory measures to ensure the standby service water system would meet its 30-day mission requirement. In accordance with NRC Inspection Manual Chapter 0609, Attachment 4, "Initial Screening and Characterization of Findings," the finding represented a loss of system safety function in that the ultimate heat sink could not meet its 30-day mission time to provide decay heat removal. Therefore, a detailed risk evaluation was necessary. An assessment was performed in accordance with Inspection Manual Chapter 0609, Appendix M, "Significance Determination Process Using Qualitative Criteria." The finding was determined to have very low safety significance (Green) because the
frequency of events that would require long term use of the ultimate heat sink is very low and the difference in the failure probability to replenish the ultimate heat sink in 10 days
versus 30 days is very small. This was because an early depletion of the inventory would be easily detected and would become a priority. At the time that replenishment would be needed, plant conditions should be stable and local transportation arteries should be restored. This finding has a cross-cutting aspect associated with evaluation in the area of problem identification and resolution because the licensee failed to thoroughly evaluate problems to ensure that resolutions address cause and extent of condition commensurate with their safety significance [P.2].
Enforcement.
The inspectors identified a Green, non-cited violation of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion XVI, "Corrective Action," which states, "Measures shall be established to assure that conditions adverse to quality, such as failures, malfunctions, deficiencies, deviations, defective material and equipment, and nonconformances are promptly identified and corrected." Contrary to the above, from October 27, 2011, to July 8, 2014, the licensee failed to assure that a conditions adverse quality were promptly identified and corrected. Specifically, the licensee failed to promptly correct a condition adverse quality by implementing compensatory measures to restore compliance with the standby service water system 30-day mission requirements until NRC approval of a license amendment. This issue was entered into the corrective action program as Condition Report CR-2014-3212. The licensee implemented compensatory measures to restore compliance to ensure a 30-day inventory in the standby service water system. Because this finding is of very low safety significance and has been entered into the licensee's corrective action program, this violation is being treated as a non-cited violation, consistent with Section 2.3.2.a of the NRC Enforcement Policy: NCV 05000458/2014007-05, "Failure to Promptly Correct Adverse Conditions associated with Non-cited Violation 05000458/2011008-06."
4OA3 Follow-up of Events and Notices of Enforcement Discretion
This activity constitute completion of 1 event follow-up sample, as defined in Inspection Procedure 71153.
(Opened and Closed) Licensee Event Report 05000458/2014-003-00, Operations Prohibited by Technical Specifications Due to Concurrent Inoperability of Reactor Protection System Channels On June 10, 2014, with the plant operating at 100 percent power, technicians performing a scheduled surveillance test found that one instrument channel in the reactor protection system failed its time response acceptance criterion. This was the second of two such tests that failed in similar fashion. Since it is conceivable that the second tested channel was out of specifications at the time the first channel was tested, this condition caused independent redundant channels in the same trip system to be inoperable at the same time. The actions required by the applicable Limiting Condition for Operation were not taken since the operators were not aware of the latent condition at the time ofthe first surveillance test failure.
One licensee-identified violation is documented in Section
4OA7 of this report.

On October 1, 2014, the inspectors presented the final inspection results, via telephone, to Mr. Olson, Site Vice President, and other members of the licensee staff. The licensee acknowledged the issues presented. The licensee confirmed that any proprietary information reviewed by the inspectors had been returned or destroyed.
4OA7 Licensee-Identified Violations
The following violation of very low safety significance (G reen) was identified by the licensee and is a violation of NRC requirements which meets the criteria of the NRC Enforcement Policy for being dispositioned as a non-cited violation.
- The inspectors reviewed a licensee identified violation for 10 CFR 50 Appendix B, Criterion III, Design Control, which states, "Measures shall 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 structures, systems, and components." Contrary to the above, since November 20, 1985, the licensee failed to review the suitability of relays in the main steam isolation valve closure reactor trip loop of the reactor protection system to prevent the selection of relays that could drift to challenge the response time test acceptance criteria. The licensee entered this issue into the corrective action program as Condition Report CR-RBS-2014-02833.
The performance deficiency was more than minor, and therefore a finding, because if left uncorrected, the finding would have the potential to lead to a more significant safety concern. In accordance with NRC Inspection Manual Chapter 0609, Attachment 4, "Initial Screening and Characterization of Findings," the finding represented a potential loss of system safety function; therefore a detailed risk evaluation was necessary. The finding required a detailed risk evaluation because it involved the potential loss of a safety function. A senior reactor analyst performed the detailed risk evaluation. When main steam isolation valves, turbine trip valves, and control valve fast closure events occur, the reactor core experiences a pressure transient. The pressure transient causes voids in the core to collapse, which constitutes a significant reactivity addition. To prevent exceeding reactor core thermal limits, the reactor is designed to trip early in the valve closure stroke. The two affected thermal limits included the "Critical Power Ratio" and the "Linear Heat Generation Rate." The analyst noted that the worst case consequence, if these trips did not function at all, would involve exceeding these thermal limits and possibly causing limited fuel cladding damage. Even if these trips did not function, backup trips, such as high pressure trips, were functional and would have shut down the reactor. If the thermal limits were exceeded fuel leaks could occur, but
significant core damage would not occur. The purpose of the significance determination process is to assess the potential for significant core damage. Therefore, there was no quantifiable increase in the core damage frequency from this finding. The core damage frequency was much less than 1E-6 and the finding was of very low safety significance (Green). The diverse reactor protection system helped to minimize the significance of this finding.
