PLANT STATUS

Unit 1 began the inspection period near rated thermal power in coastdown. On March 27, 2020, the unit was down powered and then shut down on March 28, 2020, for a planned refueling outage.

Unit 2 operated at or near rated thermal power for the entire inspection period.

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

Observation: RHRSW Spray Network Pipe Corrosion 71152 The inspectors reviewed Exelon's evaluation and corrective actions associated with degradation identified in spray pond network piping as documented under IR 04263306. The inspectors concluded that Exelon had taken timely and appropriate actions in accordance with Exelon procedure PI-AA-125, Corrective Action Program (CAP) Procedure, and 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B. The inspectors determined that Exelons associated failure analysis, cause evaluations, extent of condition and past functionality engineering evaluations were sufficiently thorough to support their conclusions. Exelons assigned corrective actions addressed the underlying cause, were aligned with engineering evaluations, adequately tracked, appropriately documented, and completed as scheduled. Based on the documents reviewed, system repair walkdowns, and discussions with engineering personnel, the inspectors noted that Exelon staff identified problems and entered them into the corrective action program at an appropriate threshold in accordance with their procedures.

Multiple Trains of RHRSW Spray Network Piping Inoperable Due to Pipe Corrosion Cornerstone Severity Cross-Cutting Report Aspect Section Not Severity Level IV Not 71153 Applicable NCV 05000352,05000353/2020001-01 Applicable Open/Closed A self-revealed Severity Level IV non-cited violation (NCV) of Unit 1 and Unit 2 Technical Specification 3.7.1.1 was identified when four spray pond spray network trains were declared inoperable. Specifically, the 18-inch distribution piping in each network train was determined to be below minimum wall thickness.

Description:

The spray pond serves both units at Limerick Generating Station and is designed to supply and cool the safety-related cooling water for the emergency service water and the RHRSW systems. The spray pond contains four spray networks. Each network contains 240 spray nozzles with all the piping and spray nozzles above the water level supported by concrete pillars. Only one spray network is required for the safe shutdown of one unit and any two networks provide sufficient cooling to safely shut down both units.

On July 11, 2019, Exelon staff observed a pin hole leak on the 18-inch distribution piping of the C spray network while the spray network was in operation for spray pond cooling. Exelon staff subsequently completed non-destructive examinations and identified wall thinning below minimum levels over certain areas at elbows where flow changed directions. On August 8, 2019, Exelon staff completed further examinations of the A spray network and identified similar localized wall thinning and pinholes. Further examinations of the B and D spray network piping identified similar localized wall thinning in 18-inch distribution piping, but no pinholes. The degradation observed was mostly located in at the belt line of the 18-inch spray network distribution piping near tee components. Exelon determined this condition constituted a violation of Technical Specification 3.7.1.1, Residual Heat Removal Service Water System - Common System, because both RHRSW subsystems were inoperable for greater than the allowed outage time of 8 hours9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br />. Specifically, the flow path was not operable due to the spray network piping degradation on all four spray networks. Exelon staff reported this issue to the NRC in Licensee Event Report (LER)05000352/2019-001-00, dated October 24, 2019.

Exelon determined the wall thinning and pin hole leaks resulted from periodic filling and draining of the piping, done as part of normal operation, which removed the protective corrosive layer and increased the corrosion rate. Exelon completed a structural integrity assessment of the as found condition of the distribution piping and concluded it would have remained intact during a design basis seismic event, notwithstanding the degradation.

Additionally, Exelon staff assessed whether increased leakage, resulting from hairline type slits that could form if the pinholes were to connect during a postulated seismic, tornado or gas explosion scenario, would adversely impact the heat removal function of a spray network.

Exelon concluded that the formation of hairline slits is possible in a few locations, but the bypass leakage resulting from the slits was within the analyzed limits and therefore would not adversely impact the heat removal function of the spray network.

The inspectors reviewed Exelons assessments and determined that they were based on sound engineering calculations. Further, the inspectors conducted an independent review of the regulatory requirements, commitments and plant specific operating experience associated with this piping. The inspectors did not identify any additional regulatory requirement that was not met or plant operating experience that indicated there was a prior problem. The inspectors noted that a limited portion of the spray network piping was examined in 2011 by means of localized spot readings. The results of these inspections identified no evidence of the excessive wall thinning that was observed in 2019.

Corrective Actions: Exelon replaced the degraded 18-inch distribution piping in all four spray network trains and performed an extent-of-condition review to determine if other systems were susceptible to similar degradation. Additionally, Exelon generated corrective actions including establishing non-destructive examination tasks and a pipe replacement strategy to address the corrosion problem identified in their above ground spray network piping. Finally, beginning in 2020, Exelon staff plan to examine a sample of emergency service water and RHRSW piping locations that have a limited monitoring history.

Corrective Action References: IRs 4263306, 4274846, 4280018

Performance Assessment:

The NRC determined this violation was not reasonably foreseeable and preventable by the licensee and therefore is not a performance deficiency.

Enforcement:

The Reactor Oversight Process significance determination process does not specifically consider a violation without a finding in its assessment of licensee performance.

Therefore, it is necessary to address this violation which does not have an associated performance deficiency using traditional enforcement to adequately deter non-compliance.

Severity: The NRC Enforcement Policy, Section 2.2.1 states, in part, that, whenever possible, the NRC uses risk information in assessing the safety significance of violations. The inspectors considered risk insights from IMC 0609.04, "Initial Characterization of Findings," and IMC 0609, Appendix A, Exhibit 2, "Mitigating Systems Screening Questions."

While the violation is a deficiency that affected the qualification of the spray pond spray network of the RHRSW system, the probabilistic risk assessment function of the spray network was maintained. Specifically, bypass leakage from the spray network caused by the degradation during events analyzed in the probabilistic risk assessment would not adversely impact the heat removal function of the spray network within 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />. Therefore, had there been a performance deficiency, the issue could be screened to Green. The inspectors determined that since the issue would be of very low safety significance, the violation would be best characterized as Severity Level IV.

Violation: Technical Specification 3.7.1.1, Residual Heat Removal Service Water System -

Common System, requires, in part, that the RHRSW system shall be operable with the system consisting of two subsystems with each subsystem comprised of two operable RHRSW pumps and an OPERABLE flow path capable of taking suction from the RHR service water pumps wet pits which are supplied from the spray pond or the cooling tower basin and transferring the water through one Unit 1 (Unit 2) RHR heat exchanger. With both RHRSW subsystems inoperable, Technical Specification 3.7.1.1.a.4 limiting condition for operation action statement requires restoring the inoperable RHRSW subsystem to operable status within 8 hours9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br /> or be in at least Hot Shutdown within the next 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br /> and in Cold Shutdown within the following 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />.

Contrary to the above, on or before July 11, 2019, until July 30, 2019, all four RHRSW spray pond spray network flow path subsystems, which are common to both Unit 1 and 2, were inoperable, and Exelon did not restore the inoperable RHRSW subsystem to operable status within 8 hours9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br />, and did not place Unit 1 and Unit 2 in at least Hot shutdown within 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br /> or in Cold Shutdown within 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />.

The disposition of this violation closes LER 05000352/2019-001-00.

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