PALISADES NUCLEAR PLANTNRC PROBLEM IDENTIFICATION AND RESOLUTION INSPECTION REPORT 05000255/2018010
Dear Mr. Arnone:
On February 14, 2018, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed a biennial problem identification and resolution inspection at your Palisades Nuclear Plant. On that date, the NRC inspectors discussed the results of this inspection with you and other members of your staff. The results of this inspection are documented in the enclosed report.
Based on the results of this inspection, no findings were identified. The inspectors documented a licensee-identified violation which was determined to be of very low safety significance in this report. The NRC is treating this violation as a non-cited violation (NCV) consistent with Section 2.3.2.a of the Enforcement Policy.
If you contest the violation or significance of this NCV, you should provide a response within 30 days of the date of this inspection report, with the basis for your denial, to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, ATTN: Document Control Desk, Washington, DC 20555 0001; with copies to the Regional Administrator, Region III; the Director, Office of Enforcement; and the NRC resident inspector at the Palisades Nuclear Plant. This letter, its enclosure, and your response (if any) will be made available for public inspection and copying at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html and at the NRC Public Document Room in accordance with 10 CFR 2.390, Public Inspections, Exemptions, Requests for Withholding.

Inspection Report 05000255/2018010 cc: Distribution via ListServ
SUMMARY
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) continued monitoring the licensees performance by conducting a Biennial Problem Identification and Resolution Inspection at Palisades Nuclear Plant in accordance with the Reactor Oversight Process. The Reactor Oversight Process is the NRCs program for overseeing the safe operation of commercial nuclear power reactors. Refer to https://www.nrc.gov/reactors/operating/oversight.html for more information. A licensee-identified non-cited violation (NCV) is documented in the report section entitled, Operating Experience and Self-Assessments and Audits.
List of Findings and Violations No findings or violations were identified.
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/reading-rm/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. 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.
REACTOR SAFETY
71152Problem Identification and Resolution
The inspectors performed a biennial assessment of the licensees corrective action program, use of operating experience, self-assessments and audits, and safety conscious work environment. The assessment is documented below.
- (1) Corrective Action Program Effectiveness: Problem Identification, Problem Prioritization and Evaluation, and Corrective ActionsThe inspection team reviewed the stations corrective action program and the stations implementation of the program to evaluate its effectiveness in identifying, prioritizing, evaluating, and correcting problems, and to confirm that the station was complying with NRC regulations and licensee standards for corrective action programs.
- (2) Operating Experience and Self-Assessments and AuditsThe team evaluated the stations processes for the use of industry and NRC operating experience information and the effectiveness of the stations audits and self-assessments.
- (3) Safety Conscious Work EnvironmentThe team reviewed the stations programs to establish and maintain a safety conscious work environment and interviewed station personnel to evaluate the effectiveness of these programs.
INSPECTION RESULTS
Corrective Action Program Effectiveness Observations 71152Problem Identification and Resolution Based on the samples reviewed, the team determined that the licensees corrective action program (CAP) complied with all regulatory requirements and self-imposed standards. The licensees implementation of the CAP adequately supported nuclear safety.
Effectiveness of Problem Identification: Overall, the station was effective at identifying issues at a low threshold and was properly entering them into the CAP as required by station procedures. The team determined that the station was generally effective at identifying negative trends that could potentially impact nuclear safety. Action plans to address these items were reviewed by station leadership to ensure appropriate corrective actions were issued and the items were being resolved effectively to improve performance.
One example the inspectors identified of a potentially missed trend was related to a number of condition reports (CRs) documenting broken, missing, or loose bolts on components and piping supports associated with the Emergency Diesel Generators (EDGs). The licensee had not assessed if there was a potential adverse trend related to these equipment deficiencies.
The inspectors also questioned whether there was a common cause for the issues or if the issues had been assessed in aggregate to ensure there was not an operational concern for the EDGs.
Effectiveness of Prioritization and Evaluation of Issues: In general, the team determined that the station was effective at prioritizing and evaluating issues. Most issues were evaluated appropriately in accordance with station procedures and addressed at levels commensurate with their safety significance. Root, potential, and contributing causes were identified for issues as required and corrective actions to preclude repetition were taken for significant conditions adverse to quality. In most cases, the proper level of consideration was taken for extent of cause and condition, common causes, generic implications, and evaluation of previous occurrences. Overall, the inspectors noted improvement in the stations classification of CRs as adverse or non-adverse. This was identified as a weakness and an area for improvement following previous inspections.
The team identified a gap in complying with the CAP procedure related to the overreliance on using evaluation-type assignments as corrective actions (CAs). The inspectors noted that many CRs had assigned CAs to evaluate a condition without subsequently assigning actions to resolve the issue, as required. Procedure EN-LI-102, Corrective Action Program, stated that, corrective actions directing determine, initiate, or evaluate to resolve conditions, issues, or causes should be avoidedif needed, these CAs must also include the expectation for follow-up actions to be issued depending on the outcome of the review. As an example, CR-PLP-2017-3175 was written for an air-operated valve with the wrong diaphragm installed. The CR included assigned actions to evaluate for rework, but did not include a subsequent CA to actually perform the work needed to fix the problem. Eventually, a licensee self-assessment identified that a CA to actually fix the problem had not been created, as required, and a CA and a work order were written and executed to address the deficiency.
In general, the team determined that issues were appropriately evaluated in a timely manner for operability and reportability. A few examples were identified that demonstrated a weakness in providing adequate technical rigor and appropriate justification for determinations of present and past operability. One such example was an operability determination for the failure to complete a visual (VT-3) examination as required by the American Society for Mechanical Engineers (ASME) Code Section XI for the Service Water (SW) and Component Cooling Water (CCW) pump supports. The original operability determination did not provide a sufficient justification that the pump supports were structurally adequate to perform their design basis functions. The inspectors discussed this issue with the licensee and a revision to the operability determination was completed with additional technical rigor that provided an adequate basis for the determination that the pump supports were operable.
The team also concluded that cause evaluations and corrective action plans for selected maintenance rule (a)(1) systems were generally appropriate; however, the licensee had been challenged by repetitive failures in the fire protection and liquid radioactive waste systems.
Prior to the inspection, the licensee self-identified that previous CAs had not resolved the failures in those systems and an additional evaluation of the issues with new CAs were needed to improve system performance.
In-depth reviews of CRs, work orders, and cause evaluations were completed for a 5 year time period for the EDG system and the Instrument Air (IA) system. The team determined that the licensee had established a low threshold for entering deficiencies into the CAP for these systems, that the items were generally being appropriately prioritized and evaluated for resolution, and that CAs were taken to mitigate the future risk of issues occurring that could affect overall system operation and/or reliability.
One observation the team provided the licensee for the EDGs was related to repetitive failures of pipe clamps on one of the air start system trains for one of the EDGs (the design of the system piping is different for each train and EDG). In 2009, a modification was completed on the system which installed a new type of Unistrut clamp. Subsequent to the modification, the pipe experienced excessive vibrations, leading to failures of the four pipe clamps along the line (one in 2014, one in 2015, and two in 2017). Each incident was documented in a category C (broke/fix) CR, and after each failure the licensee replaced the broken clamp.
After the most recent failure in 2017, the licensee created a preventive maintenance (PM)action to replace each pipe clamp every 5-years and also initiated an enhancement item to track a long-term CA for the review and potential modification to the air start system piping design. The inspectors noted that the design deficiency was well understood and that more timely and extensive CAs could have prevented some of the repeat failures.
Effectiveness of Corrective Actions: The team concluded that the licensee was generally effective in identifying CAs that were appropriately focused to correct the problem and to address the root and contributing causes for significant conditions adverse to quality to preclude repetition. The licensee generally completed CAs in a timely manner and in accordance with procedural requirements commensurate with the safety significance of the issue. For NRC-identified issues, it was determined that the licensee generally assigned CAs that were effective and timely. Issues that had the potential to challenge operator performance, including but not limited to control room deficiencies, operator burdens and workarounds, and degraded/non-conforming conditions, were addressed in a timely manner and actions were taken to mitigate the risk of the issues, as needed.
The team identified a few areas of weakness within this aspect of the CAP. Some gaps were found in how the licensee addressed and/or corrected the cause(s) of conditions adverse to quality.
For example, in November 2017, Waste Gas Surge Tank Inlet Vent Header valve CV-1102 failed to provide remote position indication when stroked, which resulted in the licensee declaring the position indication inoperable for its Post-Accident Monitoring function and entering the applicable Technical Specification (TS) Limiting Condition for Operation (LCO)action statement. This was a repeat event from 2012. In both instances, the licensee identified that the position indicator arm mounted on the valve stem had rotated out of alignment. To address the issue the arm was repositioned, restoring the position indication to operable. In 2012, an apparent cause evaluation (ACE) determined that the cause of the stem rotation was either external force from personnel or internal forces within the valve. A CA to address the apparent causes was created to modify the arm by installing an anti-rotation device. The licensee delayed implementation of the modification and eventually made the decision to cancel it in August 2017. No other actions were taken to correct the identified cause of the position indicator misalignment. Later in 2017, after the valve position indicator failed again in the same way, the licensee identified the same likely cause and wrote a CA to revive the previously cancelled Engineering Change (EC) to install an anti-rotation device. The licensee missed the opportunity to mitigate future risk, correct an identified vulnerability, and increase reliability of plant components.
Another example was identified by the inspectors while reviewing an ACE for cathodic protection system deficiencies. Corrective Action CA-12 directed that training be provided to a design engineer on cathodic protection to address a knowledge gap identified in the ACE as a contributing cause. The inspectors identified that the CA was closed without the training being performed. The licensee captured this observation in CR-PLP-2018-00689 to assign new CAs going forward to address the contributing cause identified in the ACE.
The team also identified a gap in how the licensee developed CAs. Section 5.6[2](m) of licensee procedure EN-LI-102 described the criteria for developing a CA. There were multiple examples identified of CAs that were not specific, measurable, aligned, reasonable, or timely (SMART) or where a CA required training, a briefing, or a communication, but was not specific to the audience or material to be presented. For example, from the issue related to CV-1102 referenced above, the CA revived the EC and implemented the modification.
This action did not contain the level of detail outlined in the SMART criteria. Another example identified by the inspectors was a CA which stated, use site communication to inform personnel that any and all deviations from Quality Related procedures require the initiation of a condition report. This CA directed a communication, but did not specify how to communicate it, who to communicate it to, or specify the timeframe in which it should be done.
Under this assessment area, the inspectors also completed a review of the remaining CAs and effectiveness reviews (EFRs) that were open at the time of the last biennial Problem Identification & Resolution (PI&R) inspection related to the White finding and associated Non-Cited Violation (NCV) for a compromised ability to assess dose for control rod drive mechanism housing replacement work during refueling outage 24 (reference NRC Inspection Reports 05000255/2014010, 05000255/2015007, 05000255/2015011, and 05000255/2016007). The team did not identify any issues during this review.
Operating Experience and Self-Assessments and Audits Observations 71152Problem Identification and Resolution Based on the samples reviewed, the team determined that stations processes for the use of industry and NRC operating experience information and for the performance of audits and self-assessments were effective and complied with all regulatory requirements and licensee standards. The implementation of these programs adequately supported nuclear safety.
Overall, the team concluded that operating experience was adequately evaluated for applicability and that appropriate actions were implemented to address lessons learned as needed. In general, the inspectors determined that the licensee was effective at performing self-assessments and audits to identify issues at a low level, properly evaluated those issues, and resolved them commensurate with their safety significance.
The team identified a few examples where comprehensive actions were not taken to address recommendations from benchmarking activities or audits; however these exclusions did not result in equipment reliability or plant operational issues. For example, the inspectors identified that actions taken to address a deficiency found during a Quality Assurance (QA)audit related to the commercial grade dedication of safety-related fuses did not resolve the problem. The QA audit identified conflicting criteria and referenced guidance documents for why certain safety-related fuses were considered seismically insensitive. To address this issue, the licensee simply removed the conflicting reference guidance. The inspectors determined that in accordance with licensee procedure EN-DC-306, Acceptance of Commercial Grade Items/Services in Safety Related Applications, a written evaluation was required to provide the basis for determining that these fuses were seismically insensitive, and that no such evaluation had been performed. A reference to a previous evaluation for similar fuses was the only documentation available. In response to the inspectors questions, the licensee subsequently provided a like-for-like evaluation and appropriate documentation for the seismic classification of the fuses. The fuses were appropriately classified as seismically insensitive and the systems where they were used were always considered operable. Based on this information, the inspectors determined this issue to be of minor significance.
Licensee Identified Non-Cited Violation 71152Problem Identification and Resolution This violation of very low safety significance was identified by the licensee, has been entered into the licensees CAP, and is being treated as a NCV, consistent with Section 2.3.2 of the Enforcement Policy.
Enforcement:
Violation: Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 50.55a(g)(4), Inservice Inspection Standards Requirement for Operating Plants, requires that, throughout the service life of a boiling or pressurized water-cooled nuclear power facility, components (including supports) that are classified as ASME Code Class 1, Class 2, and Class 3 must meet the requirements set forth in Section XI of the 2006 edition through 2008 addenda of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code. This edition of the AMSE Code requires that a VT-3 visual examination of supports other than piping supports be performed once every 10-year inservice inspection (ISI) interval.
Contrary to the above, since the beginning of plant operation, the safety-related CCW and SW pump lateral supports (classified as ASME Code Section XI Class 3) had never been included in the ISI program and therefore had never had the required VT-3 examination performed during each 10-year ISI interval. Corrective actions included incorporating the supports into the ISI program, scheduling the inspections as required, and validating that the supports were still capable of performing their safety function and that the CCW and SW systems remained operable.
Significance/Severity Level: The inspectors determined that the failure to perform ASME Code Section XI required inspections of the CCW and SW pump lateral supports was a performance deficiency. The inspectors determined the performance deficiency was more than minor because it adversely affected the Design Control attribute of the Mitigating Systems cornerstone objective of ensuring the availability, reliability, and capability of systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences (i.e., core damage). Specifically, the failure to periodically inspect the pump lateral supports could result in the failure to identify a nonfunctional support that could increase the risk of a pump failure.
The inspectors assessed the significance of the finding using Appendix A of the SDP. The finding was determined to be of very low safety significance (Green) because although it was a deficiency affecting the design or qualification of a mitigating structure, system, or component (SSC), the SSC remained operable.
Licensee Identified Non-Cited Violation 71152Problem Identification and Resolution Corrective Action Reference: CR-PLP-2017-05784, OE Review Identified Palisades Failure to Inspect ASME Class 3 Pump Supports for SW and CCW Pumps, 1/26/2018 Safety Conscious Work Environment Observations 71152Problem Identification and Resolution Based on interviews with plant staff and reviews of the latest safety culture survey results to assess the safety conscious work environment on site, the team determined that, in general, plant personnel appeared willing to raise nuclear safety concerns through at least one of the several means available. Most of those interviewed had an adequate knowledge of the CAP process and would initiate a CR, or work with someone who would do so on their behalf, if they knew of a safety concern. A weakness was identified in plant personnel knowledge of how to use the electronic CR system. Specifically, there were some personnel who were not familiar with how to generate a CR or how to track the resolution of a CR. Personnel also expressed an overall frustration with feedback provided on a CR; either with difficulties in being able to see how something was resolved or with not being able to understand the decision-making process for the resolution of issues.
Most individuals expressed a willingness to raise safety concerns without fear of retaliation and all employees knew the importance of having a strong safety conscious work environment. There were some instances where the free flow of information or a willingness to raise concerns through an individuals direct line of supervision were hampered due to the perception that supervision was not receptive to receiving the concern or addressing the issue. In some cases, this presented an uncomfortable work environment for the affected individuals. However, when presented with this situation, all individuals knew of other supervisors that they could bring their concerns to or other avenues to use to address an issue.
All plant personnel were aware of the Employee Concerns Program (ECP), knew who the ECP coordinator was, and most were willing to use it as an avenue to raise concerns, if desired. However, some individuals believed that the ECP lacked the appropriate level of confidentiality to effectively address concerns.
