SUBJECT:
BROWNS FERRY NUCLEAR PLANT - NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION INTEGRATED INSPECTION REPORT 05000259/2018002, 05000260/2018002 AND 05000296/2018002, AND APPARENT VIOLATION
Dear Mr. Shea:
On June 30, 2018, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed an inspection at your Browns Ferry Nuclear Plant, Units 1, 2, and 3. On July 20, 2018, the NRC inspectors discussed the results of this inspection with Mr. Lang Hughes and other members of your staff.
The results of this inspection are documented in the enclosed report.
The enclosed inspection report discusses a finding with an associated apparent violation of 10 CFR 50.48(c)(3)(ii) Fire Protection for the failure to perform a required analysis using the methodology in Chapter 2 of NFPA 805 for the RHRSW piping as a result of a postulated fire scenario for which the NRC has not yet reached a preliminary significance determination. As described in the Inspection Results Section 71153 of the enclosed report, the finding is related to an unanalyzed condition associated with a fire-induced spurious opening of the Residual Heat Removal Service Water (RHRSW) outlet valves on the Residual Heat Removal (RHR)
heat exchangers. A subsequent restart of RHRSW pumps could then cause a water-hammer which might damage the piping. The finding does not present an immediate safety concern as your staff has taken immediate compensatory actions that will remain in place until final corrective actions can be implemented.
We intend to complete and issue our final safety significance determination within 90 days from the date of this letter. The NRCs significance determination process (SDP) is designed to encourage an open dialogue between your staff and the NRC; however, neither the dialogue nor the written information you provide should affect the timeliness of our final determination.
We ask that you promptly provide any relevant information that you would like us to consider in making our determination. We are currently evaluating the significance of this finding and will notify you in a separate correspondence once we have completed our preliminary significance review. You will be given an addition opportunity to provide additional information prior to our final significance determination unless our review concludes that the finding has very low safety significance (i.e., Green). NRC inspectors documented one finding which was determined to be of very low safety significance (Green) in this report. This finding involved a violation of NRC requirements.
Additionally, NRC inspectors documented one Severity Level IV violation with no associated finding. Further, inspectors documented a licensee-identified violation which was determined to be of very low safety significance in this report. The NRC is treating these violations as non-cited violations (NCVs) consistent with Section 2.3.2.a of the Enforcement Policy.
If you contest any of the violations or significance of these NCVs, 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 II; the Director, Office of Enforcement, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555-0001; and the NRC Resident Inspector at the Browns Ferry Nuclear Plant.
If you disagree with a cross-cutting aspect assignment 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 U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, ATTN: Document Control Desk, Washington, DC 20555-0001; with copies to the Regional Administrator, Region II, and the NRC Resident Inspector at the Browns Ferry 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.

PLANT STATUS
Unit 1 operated at 100 percent rated thermal power (RTP) for the duration of the inspection period.
Unit 2 operated at 100 percent RTP until May 7, 2018 when the plant was shut down to repair a leaking Safety Relief Valve (SRV). The plant was restarted on May 11, 2018, and returned to 100 percent RTP on May 12, 2018, where it remained for the remainder of the inspection period except for 1 unplanned downpower to 78 percent on May 21, 2018, due to a degraded main condenser vacuum condition.
Unit 3 began the inspection period in a refueling outage. The unit was restarted on April 6, 2018, and was in power ascension associated with their approved Extended Power Uprate (EPU) schedule for the remainder of the quarter.
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 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.

Failure to Establish Procedures to prevent Over Pressurizing the HPCI System Cornerstone Significance Cross-cutting Report Section Aspect Mitigating Green [P.3] -
71152 - Annual Systems NCV 05000259/2018002-01 Resolution
Follow-up of Closed Selected Issues
Introduction:
A self-revealed, Green, non-cited violation of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion V, Instructions, Procedures, and Drawings, was identified for failure to establish procedures appropriate to the circumstances to preclude over pressurizing the High Pressure Coolant Injection (HPCI) system. Specifically, the licensee failed to ensure surveillance procedures 1-SR-3.8.4.3(MB-1), Main Bank 1 Battery Service Test; 2-SR-3.8.4.3(MB-2),
Main Bank 2 Battery Service Test; and 3-SR-3.8.4.3(MB-3), Main Bank 3 Battery Service Test were adequate to prevent an over pressurization event.
Description:
On April 16, 2018, Unit 2 was performing 2-SR-3.8.4.3(MB-2) Revision 10.
During that test, a procedural error in a step was identified that operated Unit 1 HPCI valves.
The intent of the step is to mitigate the potential for a known over pressure event of HPCI system piping when the HPCI injection valve is repositioned to support battery surveillance testing. The licensee made an emergent procedure change which removed the step in question rather than reword it. The test resumed following the procedure change. While opening the HPCI injection valve, a pressure pulse on the HPCI system occurred and the alarm for high HPCI suction pressure came in. Unit operators responded per the alarm response procedure (ARP) and closed the injection valve. The system pressure lowered and the alarm cleared. The resulting pressure pulse caused a leak on the gland seal condenser (GSC) that flooded the HPCI room to approximately 4 inches. The licensee entered the appropriate emergency operating instruction (EOI) and isolated the leak. As a result, HPCI was declared inoperable due to the system being isolated for the flooding. The licensee determined the source of the leak to be the supply from the condensate storage tank. The GSC was repaired and HPCI was declared operable on April 20, 2018.
The inspectors reviewed system data, logs and documentation dating back to January 1, 2014 for each of the units to see if similar pressure spikes had occurred in the past when performing this procedure and cycling the HPCI valve. The inspectors observed several instances when pressure increases occurred when the HPCI valve was repositioned.
Corrective Action(s): The licensee is revising all procedures that open the HPCI injection valves for all three units and equivalent valves as a part of an extent of condition. Currently, corrective actions are in place to prevent opening the valves without a relief path.
Corrective Action Reference(s): Condition Report (CR) 1406178
Performance Assessment:
Performance Deficiency: The failure to ensure surveillance procedures 1-SR-3.8.4.3(MB-1),2-SR-3.8.4.3(MB-2), and 3-SR-3.8.4.3(MB-3) were adequate to prevent an over pressurization event was a performance deficiency.
Screening: The performance deficiency was more than minor because if left uncorrected, the performance deficiency could result in a more significant safety concern. Specifically, the failure to evaluate and maintain the surveillance procedures could result in the HPCI system being over pressurized which could damage the system or challenge its ability to perform its specified safety function. Using Chapter 0609, Appendix A, The Significance Determination Process for Findings At-Power, Exhibit 2, Mitigating Systems Screening Questions, the issue screened as having very low safety significance (Green) because it was a deficiency that affected the design of the HPCI system, but it maintained its operability.
Cross Cutting Aspect: The performance deficiency had a cross cutting aspect of Resolution in the area of Problem Identification and Resolution because operations and engineering did not take the time to take effective corrective action to address the issue in a timely manner commensurate with its safety significance.
Enforcement:
Violation: 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion V, requires, in part, that activities affecting quality shall be prescribed by procedures of a type appropriate to the circumstances.
Contrary to the above, the licensee did not ensure that activities affecting quality were prescribed by procedures of a type appropriate to the circumstances. Specifically, the licensee failed to ensure surveillance procedures 1-SR-3.8.4.3(MB-1), 2-SR-3.8.4.3(MB-2),and 3-SR-3.8.4.3(MB-3), were adequate to prevent an over pressurization event similar to the event described above which resulted in a leak from the GSC due to a pressure pulse.
Enforcement Actions: This violation is being treated as a Non-Cited Violation (NCV),consistent with Section 2.3.2 of the Enforcement Policy.
71153 - Follow-up of Events and Notices of Enforcement Discretion Inoperable Residual Heat Removal (RHR) Pump Results in Condition Prohibited by Technical Specifications Cornerstone Severity Cross-cutting Report Aspect Section Not Applicable Severity Level IV Not applicable 71153 NCV 05000296/2018-002-02 Closed A self-revealed SL IV NCV of TS 3.5.1 and 3.6.2.3 was identified when the licensee discovered that the 3A RHR pump was inoperable for longer than the allowed outage time and follow on action completion time.
Description:
The LER was associated with the 3A RHR pump failing to start on September 1, 2017, due to failure of the pump breaker to close, which prevented automatic and manual starting of the pump. This was discovered during a quarterly flowrate surveillance. The licensee determined that the direct cause of the failure was that Procedure EPI-0-000-BKR015, 4kV Wyle/Siemens Horizontal Vacuum Circuit Breaker (Type-3AF) and Compartment Maintenance, Revision 43 was revised to include steps to secure the breakers mounting hardware, which caused internal binding of the indication flag. This prevented the closing spring of the breaker from charging and the breaker from closing on demand. As a result, automatic start of the 3A RHR pump was prevented. The licensee determined that the 3A RHR pump was inoperable from July 26, 2017 to September 1, 2017. The inspectors reviewed the licensee event report and determined that the report adequately documented the summary of the event including the cause of the event and potential safety consequences.
Corrective Action(s): The licensee inspected, lubricated, and tested the indication flag mounting bolt. The licensee also performed inspections of 43 risk significant safety related horizontal Wyle/Siemens Breakers to address common mode failure. The licensee found that the closing springs of the 43 breakers inspected were all charged as expected with no indication of common mode failure. The licensee revised Procedure EPI-0-000-BKR015 to inspect the indicating flag for freedom of movement.
Corrective Action Reference(s): CR 1334534
Performance Assessment:
Performance Deficiency: The NRC staff determined that the equipment failure could not have been avoided or detected by the licensees quality assurance program or other related control measures. Thus, the issue of concern was not within TVAs ability to foresee and correct, and could not have been prevented. The breaker operated and tested satisfactorily for more than 4 years since the last maintenance activity that could have introduced the degraded condition. Additionally, the nature of the condition caused the breaker to incorrectly indicate that it was in a charged and ready condition which prevented prompt detection by operators.
Enforcement:
Severity: Traditional Enforcement is being used because there was no performance deficiency using the Interim Guidance for Dispositioning Severity Level IV Violations with No Associated Performance Deficiency (ML18158A220). This violation is characterized as a Severity Level IV NCV based on its similarity to a SLIV example 6.1.d.2 in the Enforcement Policy for a violation having a very low (Green) risk significance.

Failure to analyze for a Water Hammer event due to Spurious Operation of Residual Heat Removal Service Water (RHRSW) Valves during a Fire Event Cornerstone Significance Cross-cutting Report Aspect Section Mitigating TBD None 71153 -
Systems AV 259/260/296/2018-002-03 Follow-up of Open Events The licensee identified an Apparent Violation (AV) of 10 CFR 50(c)(3)(ii).
Description:
On February 19, 2016, at 1235 Central Standard Time (CST), BFN personnel discovered a failure to consider Residual Heat Removal (RHR) Service Water (SW) water hammer in Fire Safe Shutdown (FSS) analyses. This condition affected the RHR heat exchangers (HX) in a postulated fire event. It was discovered that the RHRSW piping associated with the HXs in the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 805 Nuclear Safety Capability Analysis could experience water hammer. A legacy condition existed where RHR HXs were subject to voiding and water hammer due to a single spurious opening of the RHRSW outlet valve and subsequent manual or spurious start of a pump. Spurious opening of the valves was recognized and addressed for flow diversion, but the potential effects of water hammer were not addressed.
The Functional Evaluation (FE) for this condition contained a non-conservative evaluation error leading to the conclusion that heat exchangers deterministically credited for Decay Heat Removal (DHR) in the Appendix R and NFPA 805 analyses would not be impacted. In March 2018, the evaluation error was discovered as the result of a periodic review of degraded and non-conforming conditions.
Corrective Action(s): The licensee has established compensatory fire watch measures until plant modifications or further analysis can be completed.
Corrective Action Reference(s): Condition Reports (CR) 1139620 and 1397087
Performance Assessment:
Performance Deficiency: The failure to analyze the potential valve circuit damage due to a fire event which would lead to flow diversion and subsequent water hammer for a water hammer event due to a spurious operation of Residual Heat Removal Service Water (RHRSW) valves was a performance deficiency. Specifically, the license amendment request for NFPA 805 did not contain any analysis of a water hammer event. It only contained an analysis of the loss of flow due to spurious operation of RHRSW heat exchanger outlet valves which failed to consider the implications of spurious operation of equipment and the subsequent voiding of piping which provided the increased likelihood of a water-hammer event.
Screening: The performance deficiency was more than minor because it adversely effected the mitigating systems cornerstone objective of protecting against external hazards such as fires.
Significance: This AV is pending a final risk determination.
Cross Cutting Aspect: None. The PD occurred greater than 3 years ago during preparation of the NFPA 805 licensee amendment and is not indicative of current licensee performance.
Enforcement:
Violation: 10 CFR 50.48(c)(3)(ii) required, in part, the licensee to complete its implementation of the methodology in Chapter 2 of NFPA 805 (including all required evaluations and analyses) and, upon completion, modify the fire protection plan. NFPA 805 Chapter 2, section 2.4.2.2.1, Circuits Required in Nuclear Safety Functions required, in part, that circuits required for the nuclear safety functions shall be identified. This includes circuits that are required for operation or that result in the mal-operation of the equipment identified. This evaluation shall consider fire-induced failure modes such as hot shorts (external and internal), open circuits, and shorts to ground, to identify circuits that are required to support the proper operation of components required to achieve the nuclear safety performance criteria, including spurious operation and signals.
Contrary to the above, from February 19, 2016 until March 16, 2018 the licensee failed to perform a required analysis using the methodology in Chapter 2 of NFPA 805 for the RHRSW piping as a result of a postulated fire scenario. Specifically, the licensees nuclear safety performance criteria analysis did not evaluate the fire induced failure mode of spurious opening of the RHRSW outlet valves and subsequent voiding of piping which provided the increased likelihood of a water-hammer event.
Enforcement Action(s): This violation is being treated as an apparent violation (AV) pending a final significance (enforcement) determination.
Licensee Identified Non-Cited Violation 71153 LER 05000259, 260, 296/2018-003-00 identified a violation of 10 CFR 50.48(c)(4)(iii). This violation of very low safety significance was identified by the licensee and has been entered into the licensee corrective action program and is being treated as a Non-Cited Violation, consistent with Section 2.3.2 of the Enforcement Policy.
Violation: 10 CFR 50.48(c)(4)(iii) Fire Protection required, in part, that the licensee maintain fire protection defense in depth (post-fire safe shutdown capability). Contrary to the above, from October 28, 2015 until March 10, 2018, the C3 Emergency Equipment Cooling Water (EECW) pump did not have the Fire Protection Plan required backup control panel function.
Significance/Severity: Using IMC 0609 Appendix F, the violation was screened to green following a risk analysis performed by the licensee that a NRC Senior Risk Analyst reviewed and agreed was correctly performed.
