SUBJECT: PILGRIM NUCLEAR POWER STATION - NRC INTEGRATED INSPECTION REPORT 05000293/201 1004
Dear Mr. Smith:
On September 30, 2011, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed an inspection at your Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station (PNPS). The enclosed inspection report documents the results, which were discussed on October 13,2011, with you and other members of your staff.The inspection examined activities conducted under your license as they relate to safety and compliance with the Commission's rules and regulations, and with the conditions of your license. The inspectors reviewed selected procedures and records, observed activities, and interviewed personnel.
This report documents three NRC-identified findings of very low safety significance (Green).These findings were determined to be violations of NRC requirements.
However, because of their very low safety significance and because they have been entered into your corrective action program, the NRC is treating these findings as non-cited violations (NCVs) consistent with Section 2.3.2.a of the NRC's Enforcement Policy. lf you contest any NCV, you should provide a response within 30 days of the date of this inspection report, with the basis for your denial, to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, ATTN.: Document Control Desk, Washington DC 20555-0001; with copies to the Regional Administrator, Region l; the Director, Office of Enforcement, United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555-0001; and the NRC Senior Resident lnspector at PNPS. ln addition, if you disagree with the cross-cutting aspect assigned to any finding in this report, you should provide a response within 30 days of the date of this inspection report, with the basis for your disagreement, to the Regional Administrator, Region l, and the NRC Senior Resident Inspector at PNPS. The information you provide will be considered in accordance with lnspection Manual Chapter 0305.ln accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 of the NRC's "Rules of Practice," a copy of this letter, its enclosure, and your response (if any) will be available electronically for public inspection in the NRC Public Document Room or from the Publicly Available Records (PARS) component of the NRC's document system (ADAMS).

SUMMARY OF FINDINGS
lR 0500029312011004 07fi112011-0913012011;
Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station; Flood Protection Measures, Maintenance Effectiveness, and Maintenance Risk Assessment and Emergent Work Control.The report covered a three-month period of inspection by the resident and regional-based inspectors.
Three non-cited violations (NCVs) of very low safety significance (Green) were identified.
The significance of most findings is indicated by their color (Green, White, Yellow, Red) using lnspection Manual Chapter (lMC) 0609, "significance Determination Process." Cross-cutting aspects associated with findings are determined using IMC 0310, "Components Within the Cioss-Cutting Areas." The NRC's program for overseeing the safe operation of commercial nuclear power reactors is described in NUREG-1649, "Reactor Oversight Process," Revision 4, dated December 2006.NRC-ldentified Findinqs Gornerstone:
- Green.
The inspectors identified a Green NCV of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion lll, Design Control, because Entergy's design control measures did not ensure two-over-one seismic protection of the 'C' Salt Service Water (SSW) Pump. Specifically, Entergy did not ensure that a Class I to Class ll interface would not result in a failure of a Class I component ('C'SSW Pump). Corrective actions included installing a temporary modification (i.e., water shield), to protect the pump motor from potential spray effects of a Class ll piping failure and performing an extent of condition review.The inspectors performed a review of Inspection Manual Chapter (lMC) 0612, Appendix E, "Examples of Minor lssues," and did not find a similar more than minor example. The finding was determined to be more than minor because it was associated with the Protection Against External Events (i.e., seismic) attribute of the Mitigating Systems Cornerstone, and adversely affected the cornerstone's objective to ensure the reliability of systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences.
Specifically, the 'C' SSW pump motor was vulnerable to water spray from a failed Class ll pipe during a seismic event which could have rendered the pump inoperable.
The inspectors used IMC 0609.04, "Phase 1 - Initial Screening and Characterization of Findings," and determined that further evaluation was required since the finding was potentially risk significant due to a seismic initiating event. As a result of this screening, a Phase 3 evaluation was conducted by a regional Senior Reactor Analyst (SRA). The condition was assessed as Green, with a change in core damage frequency (CDF)calculated to be 1.29E-8. Since the finding was assessed to have a CDF of less than 1E-7,large early release frequency was not required to be assessed.
The finding does not have a cross-cutting aspect since the failure to verify the adequacy of design with respect to ensuring two-over-one seismic protection for the 'C' SSW pump is not indicative of current licensee performance.
In addition, current Entergy design procedures require rigorous Class ll-over-l criteria for all new modifications. (Section 1 R06)
4 Gornerstone:
- Green.
The inspectors identified a Green NCV of 10 CFR 50.65, paragraph (a)(1) and (a)(4, "Requirements for Monitoring the Effectiveness of Maintenance of Nuclear Power planis," because Entergy did not monitor the performance of the Primary Containment System (Drywell to Torus Vacuum Breaker Components)against license-established goals to provide reasonable assurance that these components are capable of fulfilling iheir intended functions.
Specifically, Entergy did not identify a functional failure of the Drywell to Torus Vacuum Breaker Component portion of the Primary Containment Sy-stem and thereby did not recognize that the system exceeded its unavailability performance criteria, requiring a Maintenance Rule (aX1) evaluation.
Entergy subsequently conducted an (aX1) evaluation and concluded that the system should be classified as (a)(1), corrective actions specified, and system monitoring completed.
The finding is more than minor because it is associated with the Barrier Performance attribute of the Barrier Integrity cornerstone, in that the issue affected the Primary Containment System reliability due to the failure to recognize the need to evaluate the system for goais, corrective actions, and monitoring.
The inspectors determined the significance of the finding using IMC 0609-04, "Phase 1 - Initial Screening and Characterization of Findings." The finding was determined to be of very low safety significance (Green) because the degraded condition had been corrected by the time of the failure to accurately evaluate the maintenance rule functionalfailure.
As a result, this finding did not involve a design or qualification deficiency, did not result in a loss of systeft safety function, and did not screen as potentially risk significant due to external initiating events. The finding has a cross-cutting aspect in the Human Performance cross-cutting area, Decision Making component; in that, Entergy did not use conservative assumptions when evaluating the degraded Drywell to Torus Vacuum Breakers condition to correctly conclude that a functional failure had occurred'Specifically, Entergy did not consider that the function of these vacuum breakers would be requireb as soon as plant conditions exceeded 212F, and therefore, the procedural guidance for Technical Specification applicability not being exceeded was an incorrect basis for this decision H.1(b). (Section 1 R12)Green. The inspectors identified a Green NCV of 10 CFR 50.65(aX4)because Entergy did not assess and manage risk during elective maintenance for both 'A' and 'B' trains of the StandBy Gas Treatment (SBGT) system. Specifically, Entergy did not consult qualitative guidance in their risk assessment process procedures before removing both tiains of SgCt from service and, therefore, removing the Secondary Containment key safety function while online. Corrective actions planned include evaluating and revising risk assessment procedures, and communicating qualitative risk assessment guidance to Senior Reactor Operators and Work Week Managers.A review of NRC Inspection Manual Chapter (lMC) 0612, Appendix E, "Minor Examples," identified that Section 7, Maintenance Rule, Example e, reflected a similar more than minor example. This finding was determined to be more than minor because Entergy's risk assessment failed to account for the loss or significant uncompensated impairment of a key operating safety function.
In addition, the finding affected the Human performance attribute of the Barrier Integrity cornerstone's objective to ensure that physical design barriers (containment)protect the public from radionuclide releases caused by accidents or events. The inspectors performed an evaluation in accordance with IMC 0609, "significance Determination Process," Attachment 4, "Phase 1 -lnitial Screening and Characterization of Findings," and determined that the finding was of very low safety significance (Green) because the finding only represented a degradation of the radiological barrier function provided for the SBGT system. The inspectors determined that this finding had a cross-cutting aspect in the Human Performance cross-cutting area, Work Control component, because Entergy did not plan work activities by incorporating appropriate risk insights H.3(a).

Initiating Events, Mitigating Systems, and Barrier Integrity 1R01 Adverse Weather Protection (71111.01 - 2 samples)External Floodinq Inspection Scope During the week of August 15, the inspectors reviewed Pilgrim's plant design for coping with the design basis probable maximum flood. The inspectors reviewed the "Storm Flooding Protection" section of the Updated Final Safety Analysis Report and operating procedures for mitigating externalflooding conditions during severe weather. The inspectors also performed a walkdown of the site to determine if all susceptible flooding conditions had been considered in the plant design, and whether operating procedures could be reasonably carried out to mitigate flooding concerns.
Documents reviewed for each section of this inspection report are listed in the Attachment.
Findinqs No findings were identified.
lmpendinq Storm Inspection Scope During the week of August 22, Hurricane lrene was tracking to impact the Pilgrim Plant over the weekend. The inspectors reviewed Entergy's preparations for the hurricane and the high winds expected to accompany the storm. The inspectors also performed a walkdown of the outside areas including the switchyard to determine if loose debris or other material could become airborne in the presence of high winds and thereby impact safety related equipment.
As the hurricane moved through the region, inspectors were staffed at the site continuously.
The inspectors verified the availability of systems important to safety by monitoring conditions and alarms in the control room and technical support center. The inspectors verified that operator actions defined in Entergy's b.a..2 Enclosure 7 adverse weather procedure maintained the readiness of essential systems. The inspectors discussed readiness and staff availability for adverse weather response with operations and work control personnel and monitored Entergy's contingency staffing of emergency response facilities.
The inspectors conducted site walkdowns after winds had abated to ensure no adverse conditions arose from this storm. Documents reviewed during this inspection are listed in the Attachment.
b. Findinqs No findings were identified.
1R04 Equipment
Alignment (71111.04)
.1 Partial Svstem Walkdowns
(71111.04Q - 3 samples)a. Inspection Scope The inspectors performed three partial system walkdowns during this inspection period.The inspectors performed a partial walkdown of each system to determine if the critical portions of the selected systems were correctly aligned in accordance with procedures, and to identify any discrepancies that may have had an effect on operability.
The walkdowns included selected control switch position verifications, valve position checks, and verification of electrical power to critical components.
In addition, the inspectors evaluated other elements, such as material condition, housekeeping, and component labeling.
The following systems were reviewed based on their risk significance for the given plant configuration:
o 'A' Residual Heat Removal during 'B' Core Spray Header Differential Pressure Test r 'A' Emergency Diesel Generator during a maintenance window on the Station Blackout (SBO) Diesel Generator o Reactor Core lsolation Cooling during a maintenance window on the SBO Diesel Generator and Shutdown Transformer b. Findinqs No findings were identified.
.2 Complete Svstem Walkdowns
(71111.04S - 1 sample)a. Inspection Scope The inspectors completed a detailed review of the High Pressure Coolant Injection (HPCI) system to assess the functional capability of the system. The inspectors performed a walkdown of the system to determine whether the critical components, such as valves and breakers were aligned in accordance with operating procedures, and to assess the material condition of valves and other supporting equipment.
The inspectors discussed system health with the system engineer, reviewed the system's Maintenance Rule status, and performed a review of outstanding maintenance work orders to determine whether the deficiencies significantly affected the HPCI system function.
The Enclosure 8 inspectors also reviewed condition reports from the past year to determine whether HPCI equipment problems were being identified and appropriately resolved.
The documents reviewed are listed in the Attachment.
b. Findinqs No findings were identified.
1R05 Fire Protection
(71111.05)
.1 Annual Fire Drill Observation
(71111.05A - 1 sample)a. Inspection Scope The inspectors observed an announced fire drill in the'A'4160VAC Switchgear Room.The drill was conducted in accordance with procedure EN-DC-189, Revision 1 , "Fire Drills." The inspectors observed performance of the fire brigade personnel to determine whether Entergy's fire fighting pre-plan strategies were utilized, the pre-planned drill scenario was followed, and the drill objectives were met. The inspectors confirmed that protective clothing and breathing apparatus were donned; sufficient firefighting equipment was brought to the scene; the fire brigade leader's fire fighting directions were clear; and communications with the plant operators and between fire brigade members were effective.
The inspectors observed the drill critique to determine whether areas to improve fire brigade performance were identified.
Findinqs No findings were identified.
Fire Protection - Tours (71111.05Q - 5 samples)Inspection Scope The inspectors performed walkdowns of five fire protection areas during the inspection period. The inspectors reviewed Entergy's fire protection program to determine the fire protection design features, fire area boundaries, and combustible loading requirements for the selected areas. The inspectors walked down these areas to assess Entergy's control of transient combustible material and ignition sources. In addition, the inspectors evaluated the material condition and operational status of fire detection and suppression capabilities and fire barriers.
The inspectors then compared the existing condition of the areas to the fire protection program requirements to determine whether all program requirements were met. The documents reviewed during this inspection are listed in the Attachment.
The fire protection areas reviewed were: o Fire Area 4.3, Fire Zone 4.3,'A' Emergency Diesel Generator Room. Fire Area 1.9, Fire Zone 2.3, 'A' Battery Room r Fire Area 1.10, Fire Zone 2.4, 'B' Battery Room.

1R06 Flood Protection
Measures (71111.06 - 1 sample)Internal Floodinq Inspection Inspection Scope The inspectors walked down the intake structure including the Salt Service Water compartments, Sea Water pump rooms, Diesel Fire pump and fueltank rooms, and associated flood propagation pathways to assess the effectiveness of Entergy's internal ftood control measures.
The inspectors assessed the condition of curbing and selected flood pathways.
The inspectors also evaluated whether potential sources of internal flooding were analyzed.Findinqs lntroduction.
The inspectors identified a Green non-cited violation (NCV) of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion lll, Design Control, because Entergy's design control measures did not ensure two-over-one seismic protection of the 'C' Salt Service Water (SSW) Pump. Specifically, Entergy did not ensure that a Class I to Class ll interface would not result in a failure of a Class I component
('C' SSW Pump).Description.
The inspectors reviewed potential internalflooding sources affecting safety-related equipment in Pilgrim's Intake structure.
The inspectors identified a potential vulnerability in the 'C' SSW pump cubicle in that Class ll city water piping carrying lubricating and motor bearing cooling water to the circulating water pumps is housed adjacent to the "C" SSW pump motor. The inspectors discussed this with Entergy's design engineering department to determine if there was a potential flooding scenario that tould affect the safety-related equipment.
Entergy walked down the area and concluded that the condition had not been previously analyzed.
Entergy generated CR-PNP-201 1-3729 and determined that the 'C' SSW motor could be susceptible to direct spray impingement from the Class ll city water piping during certain seismic event scenarios.
Entergy reviewed vendor specifications and consulted with the vendor concluding that although the motor is a weather proof, drip proof design, it is not designed for direct spray impingement.
Pilgrim's Updated Final Safety Analysis Report (UFSAR) Section 12.2.3.5, "Seismic Loids," discusses design criteria for seismic loading including criteria concerning Class ll/Class I interfaces.
lt states "Class I to Class ll interfaces are designed so that there will be no functional failure in the Class I structure.
In order to accomplish this design objective, Class I structures have the capacity of withstanding the forces resulting from possible failures of Class ll structures which are either attached or adjacent to the Class i Structures." Pilgrim's TDBD-118, Revision E0, "Design Basis Document for Seismic Loading", clarifies design expectations further and adds that "since about 1983, rigorous Class ll-over-l criteria have been applied to all station modifications.
This action, b.Enclosure 10 combined with the consideration and resolution of seismic interaction hazards provides reasonable assurance that the UFSAR requirement is met'" Following the determination that the 'C' SSW pump motor would be susceptible to direct spray from Class ll piping during a seismic event, Pilgrim declared the'C' SSW inoperable per their Technical Specifications and developed a temporary modification thai installed a "shield" for protection from this flooding scenario.
Pilgrim also conducted extent-of-condition walkdowns around the plant for other potential Class ll/Class I spray concerns and found none.Analvsis.
The inspectors determined that the failure to verify the adequacy of design with respect to ensuring adequate two-over-one seismic protection for the 'C' SSW pump was a performance deficiency within Entergy's ability to foresee and correct and should have been prevented.
Specifically, Pilgrim's UFSAR and seismic design basis documents specify, in part, that the failure of a class ll structure will not cause a failure of a class I structure.
ln addition, design control measures for verifying the adequacy such as a dynamic analysis or verification checks had not been performed pertaining to this vulneribility.
This condition did not impact the regulatory process and did not contribute to any actual consequences; therefore, Traditional Enforcement did not apply. The inspectors performed a review of Inspection Manual Chapter (lMC) 0612, Appendix E,"Examples of Minor lssues," and did not find a similar more than minor example to apply.The finding was determined to be more than minor because it was associated with the Protection Against External Events (i.e. seismic) attribute of the Mitigating Systems Cornerstone, and adversely affected the cornerstone's objective to ensure the reliability of systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences.
Specifically, the 'C' SSW pump motor was vulnerable to spray during a seismic event that could have rendered the pump inoperable.
The inspectors used IMC 0609.04,"Phase 1 - Initial Screening and Characterization of Findings," and determined that further evaluation was required since the finding was potentially risk significant due to a seismic initiating event. As a result of this screening, a Phase 3 evaluation was conducted by a regional Senior Reactor Analyst (SRA).The SSW system cools the Reactor Building Closed Cooling Water system and has five motor driven pumps. The system is configured with train 'A' composed of pumps 'A'and'B', train 'B' composed of pumps 'D'and 'E', and pump 'C' being a swing pump. The SSW system is normally cross-tied with a total of at least two pumps running. The 'C'pump can be aligned to either train 'A' or'B'. The condition was assessed as a seismically induced transient.
The exposure period was assumed to be 1 year. lt was also assumed that for all measured seismic events the 'C' SSW pump would fail due to water impingement.
The seismic transient frequency of 1E-2lyr was developed from the Pilgrim Individual Plant Examination for External Events (IPEEE). No recovery of the 'C'SSW pump was assumed. Based on these assumptions the condition was assessed as Green, with a change in core damage frequency calculated to be 1
.29 E-8. Since the finding was assessed to have a CDF of less than 1E-7,large
early release frequency was not required to be assessed.The finding does not have a cross-cutting aspect since the failure to verify the adequacy of design with respect to ensuring adequate two-over-one seismic protection for the 'C'SSW pump is not indicative of current licensee performance.
ln addition, current Enclosure 11 Entergy design procedures require rigorous Class ll-over-l criteria for all new modifications.
Enforcement.
10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion lll, Design Control, requires, in part, that measures be provided for verifying or checking the adequacy of design, such as by the performance of design reviews, by the use of alternate or simplified calculational methods, or by the performance of a suitable testing program. Contrary to the above, since initial plant design, Entergy's design control measures had not verified that the adequacy of design with respect to ensuring adequate two-over-one seismic protection existed for the'C' SSW pump. Specifically, Entergy had not performed a design review to ensure the 'C' SSW pump would not be affected from Class ll piping during a seismic event. Corrective actions included installing a temporary modification (i.e., water shield), to protect the pump motor from potential spray effects of the Class ll piping failure and performing an extent of condition review. Because this violation was of very low safety significance and was entered into Entergy's corrective action program (CR-PNP-2O11-3729), this violation is being treated as an NCV, consistent with the NRC's Enforcement Policy. (NCV 05000293/2011004-01, Failure to Verify the Adequacy of the Design for the 'G' Salt Service Water Pump).
1R07 Heat Sink Performance
(71111.07 - 1 sample)a. Inspection Scope The inspectors reviewed one sample of Entergy's program for maintenance, testing, and monitoring of risk significant heat exchangers (HXs) to assess the capability of the HXs to perform their design functions.
The inspectors assessed whether the HX program conformed to Entergy's commitments at Pilgrim related to NRC Generic Letter 89-13,"Service Water System Problems Affecting Safety-Related Equipment." ln addition, the inspectors evaluated whether potential common cause heat sink performance problems could affect multiple HXs in mitigating systems or result in an initiating event. Based on its risk significance and performance history, the 'A' Reactor Building Closed Cooling Water HX was selected for a detailed review by the inspectors.
b. Findinqs No findings were identified.
1R1 1 Licensed Operator Requalification Program (71111.11)
Resident Inspector Quarterlv Review (71111
.1 1 Q - 1 sample)a. Inspection
Scope The inspectors observed licensed operator performance during an emergency preparedness drill on September
7. The inspectors
observed crew response to a Hostile Action Based scenario which resulted in the loss of the onsite Fire Protection System and the Intake Structure.
The inspectors assessed the licensed operators'performance to determine if the drill evaluators adequately addressed observed deficiencies during the post-drill critique.
The inspectors also reviewed the applicable drill objectives from the scenario to determine if they had been achieved.
ln addition, the inspectors b.
1R12 12 performed
a simulator fidelity review to determine if the arrangement of the simulator instrumentation, controls, and tagging closely paralleled that of the control room.Findinqs No findings were identified.
Maintenance Effectiveness (71 1 I 1.12Q).1 Equipment Failure Evaluations (4 samples)a. Inspection Scope The inspectors reviewed the four samples listed below for items such as: (1) appropriate work practices; (2) identifying and addressing common cause failures; (3) scoping in accordance with 10 CFR 50.65 paragraph (b) of the Maintenance Rule; (4)characterizing reliability issues for performance; (5) trending key parameters for condition monitoring; (6) charging unavailability for performance; (7) classification and reclassification in accordance with 10 CFR 50.65 paragraph (aX1 ) or (aX2); and (8)appropriateness of performance criteria for structures, systems, and components (SSCs)/functions classified as paragraph (a)(2) and/or appropriateness and adequacy of goals and corrective actions for SSCs/functions classified as paragraph (aX1).. Control Room Envelope Functional Failure Evaluation. Drywell to Torus Vacuum Breaker Functional Failure Evaluation. HPCI Drain Valves Functional Failure Evaluation. 'B' Reactor Building Closed Cooling Water Heat Exchanger Functional Failure Evaluation b. Findinqs lntroduction.
The inspectors identified an NCV of very low safety significance (Green) of I O Cfn 50.65 paragraph (aX1) and (a)(2), "Requirements for Monitoring the Effectiveness of Maintenance of Nuclear Power Plants," because Entergy did not monitor the performance of the Primary Containment System (Drywell to Torus Vacuum Breaker Components)against license-established goals to provide reasonable assurance that these components are capable of fulfilling their intended functions.
Specifically, Entergy did not identify a functional failure of the Drywell to Torus Vacuum Breaker Component portion of the Primary Containment System and thereby did not recognize that the system exceeded its unavailability performance criteria requiring a Maintenance Rule (aX1) evaluation.
The subsequent evaluation concluded that the system should be classified as (a)(1), corrective actions specified, and system monitoring completed.
Description.
On May 13, Entergy was unable to establish the required differential pressure netween the drywell and the torus (suppression chamber)during plant start-up.Entergy performed a plant shutdown and determined that several Drywell to Torus Vacuum Breakers were leaking by, which precluded the ability to establish the differential pressure.
On May 26, System Engineering evaluated the condition and concluded that the issue was not a functional failure since the plant was not operated Enclosure 13 beyond the point at which the drywell to torus differential pressure was required to be established by plant technical specifications.
The inspectors subsequently reviewed the basis for this conclusion and determined that the function(s)of the Drywell to Torus Vacuum Breakers would have been required independent of this specific technical specification (i.e., when the susceptibility to a Loss of Coolant Accident above 212F was established during plant heat-up).
Entergy re-evaluated the condition and concluded that a maintenance preventable functionalfailure had occurred since a maintenance activity conducted during the refueling outage had incorrectly adjusted several vacuum breakers and post work testing was not completed to identify the leaking condition prior to plant start-up.
As a result of the re-classification of this degraded condition, System Engineering evaluated the status of the Primary Containment System and concluded that the system should be classified under 10 CRF50.65(a)(1), goals and corrective actions established, and system monitoring specified.
Analvsis.
The inspectors determined that Entergy's failure to identify the Dry,vell to Torus Vacuum Breakers condition as a functionalfailure, and as a result, the failure to perform an evaluation of the system under 50.65(a)(1)and thereby specify goals, corrective actions, and monitoring, was a performance deficiency within Entergy's ability to foresee and correct and should have been prevented.
Traditional Enforcement did not apply, as the issue did not have actual or potential safety consequence, had no willful aspects, and did not impact the NRC's ability to perform its regulatory function.
A review of NRC Inspection Manual Chapter (lMC) 0612, Appendix E, "Minor Examples," revealed that no minor examples were applicable to this finding. The finding is more than minor because it is associated with the Barrier Performance attribute of the Barrier Integrity cornerstone, in that, the issue affected the Primary Containment System reliability due to the failure to recognize the need to evaluate the system for goals, corrective actions, and monitoring.
The inspectors determined the significance of the finding using IMC 0609-04, "Phase 1 - lnitial Screening and Characterization of Findings." The finding was determined to be of very low safety significance (Green)because the degraded condition had been corrected by the time of the failure to accurately evaluate the maintenance rule functional failure. As a result, this finding did not involve a design or qualification deficiency, did not result in a loss of system safety function, and did not screen as potentially risk significant due to external initiating events.The finding has a cross-cutting aspect in the Human Performance cross-cutting area, Decision Making component; in that, Entergy did not use conservative assumptions during the evaluation of the degraded Drywell to Torus Vacuum Breakers to correctly conclude that a functional failure had occurred.
Specifically, Entergy did not consider that the function of these vacuum breakers would be required as soon as plant conditions exceeded 212F and therefore the procedural guidance for Technical Specification applicability not being exceeded was an incorrect basis for this decision.lH.1(b)l
Enforcement.
10 CFR 50.65 (aX1), requires, in part, that the holders of an operating license shall monitor the performance or condition of structures, systems, or components (SSCs) within the scope of the rule as defined by 10 CFR 50.65 (b), against licensee-established goals, in a manner sufficient to provide reasonable assurance that such SSCs are capable of fulfilling their intended functions.
10 CFR 50.65 (aX2) states, in part, that monitoring as specified in 10 CFR 50.65 (aX1) is not required where it has Enclosure 14 been demonstrated that the performance or condition of an SSC is being effectively controlled through the performance of appropriate preventive maintenance, such that the SSC remains capable of performing its intended function.
Contrary to the above, on May 26, Entergy incorrectly evaluated a Primary Containment System component failure which precluded System Engineering from evaluating the system for 10 CFR 50.65(aX1)monitoring requirements.
Subsequently, Entergy re-evaluated the Primary Containment System for this functional failure and determined that monitoring under 10 CFR 50.65(a)(1)would be required.Corrective actions taken for this violation included revising the Maintenance Rule functional failure evaluation for this equipment, classifying the Primary Containment System as a 10 CFR 50.65(a)(1)system, and specifying goals, corrective actions, and monitoring for the system. Because this violation was of very low safety significance and was entered into Entergy's corrective action program (CR-PNP-2011-2993 and -3210), this violation is being treated as an NCV, consistent with the NRC's Enforcement Policy. (NCV 05000293/2011004-02, Failure to ldentify a Primary Containment System Maintenance Rule Functional Failure and Thereby Establish Monitoring Requirements for the System)..2 Maintenance Rule (aX3) Evaluation Review (1 sample)a. Inspection Scope The inspectors performed a review of the Entergy assessment of the Pilgrim Maintenance Rule program implementation as specified by 10 CFR 50.65(a)(3).
The inspectors evaluated whether this assessment was conducted within the periodicity required by 10 CFR 50.65(aX3).
The inspectors also evaluated whether Entergy reviewed 10 CFR 50.65(a)(1)goals and 10 CFR 50.65(a)(2)performance criteria.Preventive maintenance and corrective action effectiveness associated with this program were also reviewed.
In addition, the inspectors evaluated the use of lndustry Operating Experience within the program and whether adjustments to the program were made as a result of the periodic assessment.
The documents reviewed are listed in the Attachment.
b. Findinqs No findings were identified.
1R13 Maintenance
Risk Assessments and Emergent Work Control (71111
.13 - 4 samples)a. Inspection
Scope The inspectors evaluated four maintenance risk assessments for emergent and planned testing and maintenance activities.
The inspectors reviewed maintenance risk evaluations, work schedules, and control room logs to determine if concurrent maintenance or surveillance activities adversely affected the plant risk already incurred with out-of-service components.
The inspectors evaluated whether Entergy took the necessary steps to controlwork activities, minimized the probability of initiating events, and maintained the functional capability of mitigating systems. The inspectors assessed Entergy's risk management actions during plant walkdowns.
The inspectors reviewed Enclosure 15 the conduct and adequacy of maintenance risk assessments for the following maintenance and testing activities:. Green Risk during Load Shed Testing of the 'A' and 'C' Residual Heat Removal and 'A'Core Spray Pumps. Green Risk during 'A' Emergency Diesel Generator Load Shed Testing. Yellow Risk during maintenance on the Station Blackout Diesel Generator and the Shutdown Transformer and an emergent issue with offsite power Line 342. Green Risk during maintenance on both 'A' and 'B' trains of the Standby Gas Treatment system b. Findinqs
Introduction.
The inspectors identified a Green NCV of 10 CFR 50.65(a)(4)because Entergy did not assess and manage risk during elective maintenance for both the 'A'and'B' trains of the StandBy Gas Treatment (SBGT) system. Specifically, Entergy did not consult qualitative guidance in their risk assessment procedure before removing both trains of SBGT, thereby removing the Secondary Containment key safety function while online.Description.
On August 3, Pilgrim elected to perform maintenance on both the 'A' and'B' SBGT demister drain valves, rendering both trains of SBGT unavailable.
Pilgrim's Secondary Containment System (SCS) is designed to be sufficiently leaktight to allow at least one train of SBGT to reduce reactor building pressure to a minimum sub-atmospheric pressure of 0.25 inches of water and for SBGT to treat assumed leakage rates and fission products entrapped in the SCS. Another function of the SCS is to limit the ground level release to the environs of airborne radioactive materials so that offsite doses from a design basis fuel accident or loss of coolant accident will be below the guideline values stated in 10 CFR Part 100, "Reactor Site Criteria." Entergy's Equipment Out of Service (EOOS) risk assessment model does not quantitatively model SBGT nor SCS, since the absence of their function does not contribute quantifiably to core damage frequency (CDF). However, Pilgrim's Secondary Containment is a key safety function that prevents or mitigates the consequences of accidents that could result in potentially significant off-site exposures.
Thus, a qualitative risk evaluation for the absence of a key safety function is warranted.
As described in Entergy's procedure EN-WM-104, Revision 4, Online Risk Assessment, the definition of a Qualitative Risk Assessment, in part, is "an evaluation of the risk of maintenance based on judgment, in which a broad spectrum of potential impacts on plant safety and operation are considered.
These may include, but are not limited to, Technical Specifications, defense in depth, impacts on key safety functions, and radiological/AlARA." Furthermore, Pilgrim's procedure 1.5.22, Revision 14, Risk Assessment Procedure, Section 5.4.2, Qualitative Risk Assessment Guidelines states,"Maintenance activities degrading the integrity of Primary and/or Secondary Containment can increase Large Early Release Frequency.
As Primary and/or Secondary Containment is not modeled in EOOS, the risk associated with these activities will be qualitatively assessed by raising the EOOS color one level; e.9., green to yellow." lt goes on to discuss, "The PSA model does not address the radioactivity release protection afforded.
lt is entirely possible that planned SBGT maintenance can degrade the radioactivity release mitigation function." Enclosure 16 The inspectors identified that qualitative considerations were not discussed during the work planning process and that procedure 1.5.22 and EN-WM-104 were not consulted.
Thus, the qualitative aspects of removing the secondary containment key safety function were not evaluated by station personnel.
Entergy entered this issue into their corrective action program as CR-PNP-2011-3791.
Corrective actions planned include evaluating and revising onsite procedure 1.5.22 to better match EN-WM-104 in regard to qualitative criteria as well as to improve proficiency for Senior Reactor Operators and Work Week Managers in the use of qualitative risk assessment guidelines Analvsis.
The performance deficiency associated with this finding is that Entergy did not correctly perform a risk assessment using qualitative criteria as outlined in station procedures for elective maintenance of both trains of SBGT as specified by 10 CFR 50.65(aX4).
The performance deficiency was within Entergy's ability to foresee and correct and should have been prevented.
Traditional Enforcement did not apply as the issue did not have actual or potential safety consequence, had no willful aspects, nor did it impact the NRC's ability to perform its regulatory function.A review of NRC Inspection Manual Chapter (lMC) 0612, Appendix E, "Minor Examples," identified that Section 7, Maintenance Rule, Example e, reflected a similar more than minor example. This finding was determined to be more than minor because Entergy's risk assessment failed to account for the loss or significant uncompensated impairment of a key operating safety function.
In addition, the finding affected the Human Performance attribute of the Barrier Integrity cornerstone's objective to ensure that physical design barriers (containment)protect the public from radionuclide releases caused by accidents or events. The inspectors performed an evaluation in accordance with IMC 0609, "significance Determination Process," Attachment 4, "Phase 1 -lnitial Screening and Characterization of Findings," and determined that the finding was of very low safety significance (Green) because the finding only represented a degradation of the radiological barrier function provided for the SBGT system.The inspectors determined that this finding had a cross-cutting aspect in the Human Performance cross-cutting area, work control component, because Entergy did not plan work activities by incorporating appropriate risk insights.
H.3(a)]Enforcement.
10 CFR 50.65 paragraph (aX4), "Requirements for Monitoring the Effectiveness of Maintenance at Nuclear Power Plants," States, in part, that "'..the licensee shall assess and manage the increase in risk that may result from the proposed maintenance activities." Contrary to the above, on August 3, Energy did not correctly assess the risk of removing the SCS safety function.
As a result, Entergy did not recognize an increased risk condition and thus did not take risk management actions.Corrective actions planned include evaluating and revising onsite procedure 1.5.22to better match EN-WM-104 in regard to qualitative criteria as well as improve proficiency for Senior Reactor Operators and Work Week Managers in the use of qualitative risk assessment guidelines.
Because of the very low safety significance and because it has been entered into the corrective action program (CR-PNP-2011-3791), the NRC is treating this as a non-cited violation (NCV), consistent with Section 2.3.2 a of the NRC's Enforcement Policy. (NCV 05000293/2011004-03, Failure to Accurately Assess Risk of Maintenance on Standby Gas and Secondary Gontainment)17 1R15 Operabilitv Evaluations (71111.15 - 4 samples)a.
