PLANT STATUS

Unit 1 The unit began the inspection period at full-rated thermal power, where it remained for the entire inspection period, with the exception of short-term power reductions for control rod sequence exchanges, testing, and as requested by the transmission system operator.

Unit 2 The unit began the inspection period at full-rated thermal power. On January 10, 2020, the station performed an unplanned downpower to approximately 67 percent rated thermal power to perform repairs on the Unit 2 2B feedwater regulating valve. The unit returned to full power on the same day. On March 1, 2020, the unit began its end-of-cycle coastdown period. The unit shut down on March 30, 2020, for refueling outage Q2R25 and remained in a shutdown condition through the end of the inspection period. For all other periods, the unit was at full-rated thermal power with the exception of short-term power reductions for control rod sequence exchanges, testing, and as requested by the transmission system operator.

INSPECTION SCOPES

Inspections were conducted using the appropriate portions of the inspection procedures (IPs) in effect at the beginning of the inspection unless otherwise noted. Currently approved IPs with their attached revision histories are located on the public website at http://www.nrc.gov/readingrm/doc-collections/insp-manual/inspection-procedure/index.html.

Samples were declared complete when the IP requirements most appropriate to the inspection activity were met consistent with Inspection Manual Chapter (IMC) 2515, Light-Water Reactor Inspection Program - Operations Phase. From January 1 - March 19, 2020, the inspectors performed plant status activities described in IMC 2515, Appendix D, Plant Status, and conducted routine reviews using IP 71152, Problem Identification and Resolution. The inspectors reviewed selected procedures and records, observed activities, and interviewed personnel to assess licensee performance and compliance with Commission rules and regulations, license conditions, site procedures, and standards.

Starting on March 20, 2020, in response to the National Emergency declared by the President of the United States on the public health risks of the coronavirus (COVID-19), resident inspectors were directed to begin telework and to remotely access licensee information using available technology. During this time the resident inspectors performed periodic site visits each week and during that time conducted plant status activities as described in IMC 2515, Appendix D; and observed risk significant activities when warranted. In addition, resident and regional baseline inspections were evaluated to determine if all or portion of the objectives and requirements stated in the IP could be performed remotely. If the inspections could be performed remotely, they were conducted per the applicable IP. In the cases where it was determined the objectives and requirements could not be performed remotely, management elected to postpone and reschedule the inspection to a later date.

INSPECTION RESULTS

Failure to Perform Post-Maintenance Testing Caused Inoperability of Control Room Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning Cornerstone Significance Cross-Cutting Report Aspect Section Barrier Integrity Green [H.11] - 71153 NCV 05000254,05000265/2020001-01 Challenge the Open/Closed Unknown A Green finding and associated non-cited violation (NCV) of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion XI, Test Control, was self-revealed when the licensee failed to perform post-maintenance testing on the 'B' control room heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC)fire protection isolation valve, AOV 0-4199-315, following maintenance on the actuator, in accordance with Work Order 1845827 and procedure MA-AA-716-012, "Post-Maintenance Testing," Revision 24.

Description:

On October 27, 2019, an equipment operator on rounds identified water on the floor and overflowing from the air filtration unit (AFU) of the 'B' train of the control room HVAC system.

Additional investigation and inspection by the licensee identified water was covering the bottom of the AFU filter trays. Several filters, including the pre and post high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters and the charcoal filter trays, were submerged in approximately 3 inches of water, which caused the AFU to be unable to perform its function. The wetting of the filters inhibited the AFU's ability to properly filter contaminants from the air entering the control room during a design basis accident. The licensee declared the 'B' train of the control room HVAC system inoperable.

The 'B' train of the control room HVAC system is a single-train safety-related system, also referred to as the control room emergency ventilation (CREV) system. The licensee initially reported this condition in accordance with 10 CFR 50.72(a)(2)(v)(D), for any event or condition that could have prevented the fulfillment of the safety function of structures, systems, or components that are needed to mitigate the consequences of an accident.

Investigation into this event identified that water was leaking from an installed safety-related fire protection deluge system inside the AFU. Specifically, air-operated valve (AOV) 0-4199-315 was leaking past its seat. The inspectors noted that the licensee documented the safety-related designation of AOV 0-4199-315 in Parts Evaluation 57887. Additionally, the licensee identified maintenance was performed on the fire protection system valve AOV 0-4199-315 on October 10, 2019, under Work Order 1845827, "Rebuild Actuator/Replace Air Regulator PCM [performance centered maintenance]." Following the maintenance on October 10, the licensee identified that it could not perform the post-maintenance testing as described in the work order package. The licensee identified this issue in Issue Report 4287032, "Unable to Perform PMT AO 0-4199-315, CR [control room] HVAC AFU Fire Protection Valve," on October 10, 2019. The licensee decided to return the fire protection system to service without performing post-maintenance testing, and once it was determined how to perform the post-maintenance test, they would perform the test at a later date. The licensee had not yet completed the post-maintenance test when they identified the water in the 'B' control room HVAC system, 17 days later, on October 27, 2019.

The licensee concluded that the system was inoperable since October 10, 2019, approximately 17 days, which was longer than the 7 days allowable outage time in accordance with Limiting Condition for Operation (LCO) 3.7.4, "Control Room Emergency Ventilation (CREV) System." Based on the licensee's conclusion, they subsequently submitted LER 05000254/2019-003, "Water Found Control Room Emergency Ventilation Air Filtration Unit," on December 20, 2019, in accordance with 10 CFR 50.73(a)(2)(v)(D) and 10 CFR 50.73(a)(2)(i)(B), for any event or condition that could have prevented the fulfillment of a safety function and any operation or condition which was prohibited by the plant's Technical Specifications, respectively.

Licensee procedure MA-AA-716-012, "Post Maintenance Testing," Revision 24, states, in part, that it "provides standard process guidance on requirements and expectations to ensure that when any maintenance is performed, that

(1) the original deficiency is corrected,
(2) no new deficiency has been created as a result of maintenance activities or configuration change, and
(3) equipment will perform its intended function when returned to service." Step 4.2.4 states, in part, that post-maintenance testing shall be performed on any corrective maintenance and some preventive maintenance activities, including maintenance that affects the integrity or operation of a fluid system or component within the system. Additionally, MA-AA-716-012, Attachment 3, "AOV [Air Operated Valve] Post Maintenance Test Matrix,"

lists the post-maintenance tasks for associated maintenance tasks. Included tests for actuator maintenance and air regulator maintenance are, in part, a functional stroke and an external leak check of process fluid and air.

Task 04 of Work Order 1845827 was for operations to perform the post-maintenance test.

Following maintenance, operations identified that the valve could not be stroked due to interlocks not being met, the licensee generated the previously mentioned Issue Report 4287032. The licensee decided to not perform the post-maintenance test, and in the corrective actions for Issue Report 4287032, the licensee planned procedure revisions to include steps that would install a jumper around a temperature switch so that a functional stroking of the valve could be performed. The inspectors noted that the licensee did not assign a corrective action item to schedule or perform the post-maintenance test once the procedural change was completed. The original due date for the procedural change was November 21, 2019, over a month after the maintenance on the valve was performed.

Sixteen days after the maintenance was performed, an equipment operator on rounds identified water leaking out of the AFU onto the floor in the CREVs room, and the CREV system was declared inoperable. The failure to perform the post-maintenance test following the maintenance performed on valve 0-4199-315 did not meet the licensee's procedural requirements and failed to ensure that no new deficiencies were created as a result of the maintenance performed or that the affected equipment could perform its intended function.

The licensee determined that the work performed on the valve likely relaxed the closure force on the valve, causing the seat to leak, and water was able to reach the spray nozzles inside the AFU.

The inspectors determined this issue was self-revealed. Although Inspection Manual Chapter (IMC) 0612 defines licensee-identified findings as "those identified during...operator rounds...," it also says that licensee-identified issues are "identified as a result of deliberate observation by licensee personnel." The inspectors determined that the large amount of water that was overflowing in the 'B' control room HVAC room did not require deliberate observation. Additionally, the IMC 0612 definition of self-revealed items is: "those identified as a result of a condition that becomes apparent through a readily detectable degradation in material condition, capability, or functionality of equipment or plant operations," and even more relevant, it states, "examples include those identified through... identification of large quantities of fluids in areas where one would not normally expect such a condition." The inspectors determined that self-revealed was more appropriate for this scenario.

Corrective Actions: Corrective actions included replacement of the AFU filters. Additionally, the licensee isolated AOV 0-4199-315, planned corrective actions to repair the valve, and planned actions to revise the model work order. Model work order improvements were required to ensure that steps for post-maintenance testing included actions required to ensure the temperature switch contacts were bypassed in order to meet the valve permissive interlocks required for opening the valve.

Corrective Action References:

Issue Report 4291738, "Water Found in Control Room HVAC Air Filtration Unit," dated October 27, 2019

Performance Assessment:

Performance Deficiency: The licensee failed to perform post-maintenance testing on the 'B' control room HVAC fire protection isolation valve, AOV 0-4199-315, following maintenance on the actuator, in accordance with Work Order 1845827 and procedure MA-AA-716-012, "Post Maintenance Testing," Revision 24.

Screening: The inspectors determined the performance deficiency was more than minor because it was associated with the Human Performance attribute of the Barrier Integrity cornerstone and adversely affected the cornerstone objective to provide reasonable assurance that physical design barriers protect the public from radionuclide releases caused by accidents or events. Specifically, the failure to perform post-maintenance testing on a fire protection valve inside the CREV system caused the system to become inoperable and lose the radiological barrier that the CREV system provides for the control room. The inspectors did not identify an applicable example in IMC 0612, Appendix E.

Significance: The inspectors assessed the significance of the finding using Appendix A, The Significance Determination Process (SDP) for Findings At-Power. The inspectors determined the finding was Green using IMC 0609, Appendix A, Exhibit 3, Barrier Integrity Screening Questions, Section D, "Control Room, Auxiliary, Reactor, or Spent Fuel Pool Building," because the finding only represented a degradation of the radiological barrier function provided for the control room.

Cross-Cutting Aspect: H.11 - Challenge the Unknown: Individuals stop when faced with uncertain conditions. Risks are evaluated and managed before proceeding. Specifically, in Issue Report 4287032, "Unable to Perform PMT AO 0-4199-315, CR HVAC AFU Fire Protection Valve," dated October 10, 2019, the licensee identified the inability to perform post-maintenance testing as specified in the work order. The licensee made a decision to postpone the post-maintenance test to a later date that was not specified in the actions of the condition report. The licensee returned the CREV system to service without verifying the performance of AOV 0-4199-315, a safety-related valve that could impact the operation of the CREV system. The licensee did not evaluate and manage all of the associated risks before returning the AFU to service without testing AOV 0-4199-315.

Enforcement:

Violation: Title 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion XI, Test Control, requires, in part, that a test program 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.

Contrary to the above, on October 10, 2019, the licensee failed to assure that testing required to demonstrate that safety-related valve AOV 0-4199-315, the 'B' train control room HVAC air filtration unit fire protection isolation valve, would 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 failed to assure that the testing identified in Work Order 1845827, "Rebuild Actuator/ Replace Air Regulator PCM [Performance Centered Maintenance]," to stroke the valve and verify no external leakage (i.e. that the valve would perform satisfactorily in service), was performed prior to returning the deluge system and control room emergency ventilation system to service.

Enforcement Action: This violation is being treated as an non-cited violation, consistent with Section 2.3.2 of the Enforcement Policy.

EXIT MEETINGS AND DEBRIEFS

The inspectors verified no proprietary information was retained or documented in this report.

  • On April 7, 2020, the inspectors presented the integrated inspection results to Mr. K. Ohr, Site Vice President, and other members of the licensee staff.
