Procedures, and Drawings for the licensees failure to prescribe instructions and procedures appropriate to the circumstances for an activity affecting quality. Specifically, the licensee failed to accomplish repairs to a safety-related butterfly valve in accordance with appropriate instructions and procedures. The inspectors identified that actions taken by the licensee to address loose taper pins associated with the safety related component cooling water system were performed without appropriate instructions and procedures that incorporated appropriate quantitative or qualitative acceptance criteria for determining that important activities have been satisfactorily accomplished.

Additional Tracking Items Type Issue Number Title Report Section Status LER 05000346/2018-001-00 LER 2019-001-00 for Davis- 71153 Closed Besse, Unit 1, Borated Water Storage Tank Level Transmitter Out of Tolerance Due to Reaching End of Expected Life

PLANT STATUS

The unit began the inspection period operating at full power. On September 7, 2019, during scheduled testing of the main turbine stop valves, the unit tripped from 95 percent power. The licensee determined that the cause of the unit trip was a faulty fast-acting solenoid valve in the main turbine electrohydraulic control system which caused a second stop valve to close while the number two valve was closing as planned per the test. The plant operators started up the unit on September 10, 2019. The unit reached full power operations on September 11. The licensee continued to operate the unit at or near full power through the remainder of the inspection period.

On April 25, 2018, FirstEnergy Solutions (FES) / FirstEnergy Nuclear Operating Company (FENOC) notified the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) that they intend to shut down all four of their operating nuclear power plants (ADAMS Accession Number ML18115A007). On March 21, 2018, FES, FirstEnergy Nuclear Generation (FENGEN), and FENOC filed for bankruptcy. On July 26, 2019, FES/FENOC submitted a letter to the NRC withdrawing the April 25, 2018, certification of permanent cessation of power operations for Davis-Besse Nuclear Power Station and Perry Nuclear Power Plant (ADAMS Accession Number ML19207A097). The NRC continues to maintain focus on public health and safety and the protection of the environment. This will include a continuous evaluation by inspectors to determine whether the licensee's financial condition is impacting safe operation of the plant.

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.

INSPECTION RESULTS

Failure to Recognize and Correct Fisher Controls Butterfly Valve Taper Pin Defects Cornerstone Significance Cross-Cutting Report Aspect Section Mitigating Green [P.5] - 71111.12 Systems NCV 05000346/2019003-01 Operating Open/Closed Experience The inspectors identified a finding of very low safety significance (Green) and an associated non-cited violation (NCV) of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion V, Instructions, Procedures, and Drawings for the licensees failure to prescribe instructions and procedures appropriate to the circumstances for an activity affecting quality. Specifically, the licensee failed to accomplish repairs to a safety-related butterfly valve in accordance with appropriate instructions and procedures. The inspectors identified that actions taken by the licensee to address loose taper pins associated with the safety related component cooling water system were performed without appropriate instructions and procedures that incorporated appropriate quantitative or qualitative acceptance criteria for determining that important activities have been satisfactorily accomplished.

Description:

On June 4, 2019, the licensee was preparing to replace the Component Cooling Water heat exchanger #2 outlet isolation butterfly valve with a new valve received from the vendor, Fisher Controls International LLC, in 2017. Prior to installation the inspectors questioned the licensee as to why one of the three taper pins holding the disk to the butterfly appeared to be loose. In response to the inspectors question, the licensee performed repairs by resetting and staking the pins in accordance with mechanical maintenance procedure DB-MM-09317 Fisher type 9100 butterfly control valve maintenance. This resulted in the ends of the taper pins being flush with the surface of the disk.

Information Notice 2005-23, and Part 21 report 2005-42 described the issue of loose taper pins, with corrective actions to include the proper seating and staking of the pins. These references state that degradation of butterfly valves supplied by Fisher Controls and other manufacturers has occurred during plant operation as a result of the loss of taper pins used to connect the valve disc to stem. The degradation can involve leakage and affect valve operation. Taper pins lost from butterfly valves can also interfere with the operation of other plant components in fluid systems. The vendor manual details the requirement for the pin ends to be below the surface of the disk before peening. After review of the licensees actions taken to repair the valve, the inspectors noted that the pins were improperly set and staked and brought the concern to the licensee. Additionally, the inspectors identified the mechanical maintenance procedure, DB-MM-09317, included the vendor manual as a reference, but did not incorporate the vendor manual quantitative criteria ensuring the ends of the pins were below the surface of the disk before peening.

The licensee returned the valve to the vendor, who determined the pins were in fact improperly installed. This resulted in NRC Event Notification 54238, Part 21 report 2019-24, and Fisher (vendor) Information Notice 2019-01, which revised and clarified the steps necessary to achieve the quantitative criteria that the large end of the taper pins be driven below the surrounding surface and then the surrounding material peened over the heads.

Corrective Actions: The licensee entered this issue into their corrective action program. The Vendor, Fisher Controls International, submitted a Part 21 report (2019-21) detailing the issue. Additionally, mechanical maintenance procedure DB-MM-09317 Fisher type 9100 butterfly control valve maintenance was revised to include the updated vendor guidance regarding pin setting and peening.

Corrective Action References: CRs 2019-04914, 2019-05843, 2019-07152, 2019-06157, and 2019-07139

Performance Assessment:

Performance Deficiency: The inspectors determined that performing work on safety-related equipment without appropriate instructions and appropriate quantitative or qualitative acceptance criteria for determining that important activities have been satisfactorily accomplished was a performance deficiency that was reasonably within the licensees ability to foresee and prevent.

Screening: The inspectors determined the performance deficiency was more than minor because if left uncorrected, it would have the potential to lead to a more significant safety concern. The performance deficiency was more than minor because if left uncorrected, it has the potential to become a more significant safety concern. Specifically, attempting to repair and place into service the valve without prescribed instructions or procedures incorporating vendor recommended corrective actions would not have ensured the capability of the Component Cooling Water system to provide its mitigating function. Additionally, if left uncorrected, this performance deficiency could have led to failures in other safety-related fluid systems.

Significance: The inspectors assessed the significance of the finding using Appendix A, The Significance Determination Process (SDP) for Findings At-Power.

Cross-Cutting Aspect: P.5 - Operating Experience: The organization systematically and effectively collects, evaluates, and implements relevant internal and external operating experience in a timely manner. The finding had a cross-cutting aspect in the area of Problem identification and Resolution, cross-cutting area of Operating Experience, because the licensee did not systematically and effectively collect, evaluate, and implement relevant internal and external operating experience in a timely manner. Specifically, the licensee did not effectively evaluate and update the mechanical maintenance procedure even though the vendor manual was incorporated into it as a reference and included the necessary information. Additionally, there were multiple references available including recently updated vendor guidance, NRC Information Notice 2005-23, Part 21 report 2005-42 and other external operating experience. (P.5)

Enforcement:

Violation: Title 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion V, Instructions, Procedures, and Drawings, requires, activities affecting quality shall be prescribed by documented instructions, procedures, or drawings, of a type appropriate to the circumstances and shall be accomplished in accordance with these instructions, procedures, or drawings. Instructions, procedures, or drawings shall include appropriate quantitative or qualitative acceptance criteria for determining that important activities have been satisfactorily accomplished.

Contrary to the above, in August 2019, the licensee failed to include in instructions and procedures that include appropriate quantitative or qualitative acceptance criteria for determining that important activities have been satisfactorily accomplished. Specifically, mechanical maintenance procedure DB-MM-09317 failed to provide appropriate criteria to ensure butterfly valve taper pins were seated correctly.

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

Observation: Semi-Annual Trend Review of Condition Reports Documenting 71152 Discovered Issues with Existing design Drawings The inspectors reviewed the licensee's corrective action program searching for condition reports that were coded with a cause code of CM.3 (Changes to plant configuration, design and licensing bases are evaluated, controlled, tested and implemented while consistency is maintained among the physical plant configuration, design and licensing requirements and the documented plant configuration). The inspectors were aware that some planned and scheduled plant work was held up because of differences between the physical plant and existing drawings that showed the current existing as-built plant. The inspectors wanted to determine the extent of the issue and licensee's actions to address any significant issues.

The inspectors' search encompassed condition reports initiated in 2019 to approximately September 1, 2019. The search identified seven condition reports that involved planned work where discrepancies were found between plant installed configurations and plant drawings.

The plant has four drawing categories/levels with each level reflecting the relative importance to safe and efficient operation. Level 1 drawings are used by plant operators and others to ensure safe and reliable operations. These drawings, that are in the operations Control Room, must be updated to reflect as-built configuration before a modified structure, system, or component is placed into service. Level 2 drawings are those that are critical to safe and effective operation, maintenance, and engineering but are not required in the Control Room.

Changes can be posted to these drawings with a Drawing Update Notice (DUN) but must have those changes incorporated in the drawing within 90 days of the third change being posted against the drawing.

Level 3 drawing are those deemed not critical to day-to-day operation, maintenance, and engineering of the plant but generally depict the as-designed plant and are retained for historical or regulatory purposes. DUNs are posted to the drawing but are not required to be incorporated in the drawing. Level 4 drawings depict a past configuration and do not need to be updated to display current plant configuration.

As of the end of August 2019, there 443 DUNs outstanding on Level 2 drawings and 1416 DUNs on Level 3 drawings. Also during August the licensee reported that 54 drawings were updated by incorporation of five Level 1 drawing DUNs, 19 Level 2 drawing DUNs, and 30 Level 3 drawings DUNs. The number of DUNs remained relatively flat with some small decrease in the total number of DUNs; the number of Level 2 DUNs in January 2019 was 468 and Level 3 DUNs totaled 1530.

The inspector's review of the backlog data and the results of the condition report search did not identify any safety significant issues. While the number of DUNs appears high, DUNs do represent corrections to the drawings that, for Level 2 drawings, will eventually be incorporated in the drawing. The licensee does have a program to control and process needed drawing changes and does require that Level 1 drawings in the Control Room are updated before a system with a new modification can be considered functional or operable.
