SUMMARY IR 05000352/2017001 and 05000353/2017001; 1/1/2017 – 3/31/2017; Limerick Generating Station (LGS), Units 1 and 2; Equipment Alignment. This report covered a three-month period of inspection by resident inspectors and announced baseline inspections performed by regional inspectors. The inspectors identified two findings, of which one was a non-cited violation, all of which were of very low safety significance (Green and/or Severity Level IV). The significance of most findings is indicated by their color (i.e., greater than Green, or Green, White, Yellow, Red) and determined using Inspection Manual Chapter (IMC) 0609, “Significance Determination Process”, dated April 29, 2015. Cross-cutting aspects are determined using IMC 0310, “Aspects Within Cross-Cutting Areas,” dated December 4, 2014. All violations of NRC requirements are dispositioned in accordance with the NRC’s Enforcement Policy, dated November 1, 2016. The NRC’s program for overseeing the safe operation of commercial nuclear power reactors is described in NUREG-1649, “Reactor Oversight Process,” Revision 6. Cornerstone: Mitigating Systems • Green. The inspectors identified a Green NCV of 10 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 50,

Appendix B, Criterion V, “Instructions, Procedures, and Drawings,” for Exelon’s failure to establish instructions appropriate to the circumstances to properly stage equipment and route temporary power cables. Specifically, during cell replacement of the Class 1E ‘2A2’ 125/250 volts direct current (Vdc) safeguards battery, a portable battery charger was staged adjacent to operable ‘2A1’ battery cells and not restrained to prevent potential tipping and shorting of exposed battery cell terminals and a non-safety related extension cord was routed in near contact with exposed safety related cables in an open cable tray. Exelon moved the portable battery charger, removed and rerouted extension cords, and entered the issues into the corrective action program as issue report (IR) 3980217; IR 3980203; and IR 3983203.

This finding is more than minor because it adversely affected the configuration control attribute of the mitigating systems cornerstone to ensure the availability and reliability of systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences (i.e. core damage). Specifically, the portable battery charger was adjacent to the ‘2A1’ battery rack and oriented such that it was susceptible to tipping over and causing electrical shorting, and a non-safety related temporary power cable connected to a non-safety related power source was routed in near contact with safety related cables in an open cable tray which introduced a potential to damage and disable safety related equipment. Using IMC 0609, Appendix A, Exhibit 2, the inspectors determined that this finding was of very low safety significance (Green). Specifically, the finding did not represent a loss of system or function and did not represent the loss of a single train for greater than technical specification allowed outage times or greater than 24 hours. The inspectors determined that this finding has a cross-cutting aspect in the area of Human Performance, Training, because Exelon did not provide sufficient training to maintain a knowledgeable workforce and instill nuclear safety values associated with the staging of material and equipment. [H.9] (Section 1R04)

• Green. The inspectors identified a Green self-revealing finding for the failure of Exelon

personnel to follow procedures related to human performance tools which resulted in the inadvertent opening of a valve on the ‘D13’ emergency diesel generator (EDG). Specifically, Exelon personnel did not correctly identify and maintain a distance barrier from the diesel generator jacket water drain valve during a maintenance activity which resulted in the draining of the jacket water system and unplanned inoperability and unavailability of the ‘D13’ EDG. Exelon refilled the jacket water system, restored ‘D13’ EDG to an operable condition, and entered the issue into the corrective action program as IR 3986305.

This finding is more than minor because it adversely affected the configuration control attribute of the mitigating systems cornerstone to ensure the availability of systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences (i.e. core damage). Specifically, the valve mispositioning caused the ‘D13’ EDG to be inoperable and unavailable. Using IMC 0609, Appendix A, Exhibit 2, the inspectors determined that this finding was of very low safety significance (Green). Specifically, the finding did not represent a loss of system or function and did not represent the loss of a single train for greater than technical specification allowed outage times or greater than 24 hours. The inspectors determined that this finding has a cross-cutting aspect in the area of Human Performance, Avoid Complacency, because Exelon personnel did not properly implement error reduction tools.

REPORT DETAILS Summary of Plant Status Unit 1 began the inspection period at 100 percent power. On January 21, 2017, operators reduced power to approximately 75 percent to perform scram time testing and a rod sequence exchange. Operators returned the unit to 100 percent on January 22, 2017. The unit remained at or near 100 percent power for the remainder of the inspection period. Unit 2 began the inspection period at 100 percent power. The unit ended the inspection period in end of cycle coastdown at 91 percent power. 1. REACTOR SAFETY Cornerstones: Initiating Events, Mitigating Systems, and Barrier Integrity 1R01 Adverse Weather Protection (71111.01 – 2 samples) .1 Readiness for Impending Adverse Weather Conditions

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors reviewed Exelon’s preparations for the onset of winter weather on February 8 and March 13, 2017. The inspectors reviewed the implementation of adverse weather preparation procedures before the onset of and during this adverse weather condition. The inspectors walked down the EDGs, switchgear, and transformers and reviewed switchyard conditions to ensure system availability. The inspectors verified that operator actions defined in Exelon’s adverse weather procedure maintained the readiness of essential systems. The inspectors discussed readiness and staff availability for adverse weather response with operations, maintenance, and work control personnel.

b. Findings

No findings were identified.

• Unit 2 reactor core isolation cooling (RCIC) and automatic depressurization system during the high pressure coolant injection (HPCI) maintenance outage on March 9, 2017

• Unit common ‘B’ control enclosure (CE) chiller during ‘A’ CE chiller maintenance on March 16 and 17, 2017

The inspectors selected these systems based on their risk-significance relative to the reactor safety cornerstones at the time they were inspected. The inspectors reviewed applicable operating procedures, system diagrams, the Updated Final Safety Analysis Report (UFSAR), technical specifications, work orders, condition reports, and the impact of ongoing work activities on redundant trains of equipment in order to identify conditions that could have impacted the system’s performance of its intended safety functions. The inspectors also performed field walkdowns of accessible portions of the systems to verify system components and support equipment were aligned correctly and were operable. The inspectors examined the material condition of the components and observed operating parameters of equipment to verify that there were no deficiencies. The inspectors also reviewed whether Exelon staff had properly identified equipment issues and entered them into the corrective action program for resolution with the appropriate significance characterization.

b. Findings

Introduction. The inspectors identified a Green NCV of 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion V, “Instructions, Procedures, and Drawings,” for Exelon’s failure to establish instructions appropriate to the circumstances to properly stage equipment and route temporary power cables. Specifically, during cell replacement of the Class 1E ‘2A2’ 125/250 Vdc safeguards battery, a portable battery charger was staged adjacent to operable ‘2A1’ battery cells and not restrained to prevent potential tipping and shorting of exposed battery cell terminals. Additionally, a non-safety related extension cord was routed in near contact with exposed safety related cables in an open cable tray.

Description. The ‘2A’ battery is part of the direct current (DC) power system used to provide electrical power to safety related loads during normal operation, shutdown, and accident scenarios. The ‘2A1’ battery in conjunction with the ‘2A2’ battery and their associated battery chargers make up Division 1 of the Unit 2 Class 1E DC system. There are four independent divisions for each unit. Divisions 1 and 2 provide power to the 125/250 Vdc portions of the system while Divisions 3 and 4 provide power to the 125 Vdc portion.

On February 17, 2017, the inspectors observed replacement of group 2 cells (#19 through #30) of the ‘2A2’ battery in accordance with M-095-005, “Replacement of Station Battery Cells.” The battery replacement was performed in segments from February 13 through 19, 2017. During the maintenance, temporary battery carts were connected to replace the capacity lost by the cells being exchanged. A portable battery charger was staged on February 10, 2017, adjacent to the temporary battery carts to maintain the temporary battery cart cells fully charged during times the temporary cells were not connected to the ‘2A2’ battery. A non-safety related extension cord was plugged into a non-safety related power outlet and routed through the ‘2B’ battery room into the ‘2A’ battery room to supply power to the portable battery charger on February 8, 2017.

Regarding the portable battery charger, Exelon’s procedure MA-LG-716-026-1001, “Additional Guidance for In-Plant/Yard Storage and Housekeeping at Limerick,” requires that unsecured equipment that is taller than it is wide shall be located at least two feet greater than its height from safety related equipment. The procedure requires that exceptions to this be approved and documented by engineering. The portable battery charger is taller than it is wide and is designed to tip over its single set of wheels for rolling. During the cell replacement activities with the ‘2A1’ and ‘2A2’ batteries operable, the inspectors identified that the portable charger was unsecured, staged adjacent to the ‘2A1’ battery (i.e. not at least two feet greater than its height from the safety related equipment), and lined up with the battery rack such that it was susceptible to tipping over its wheels causing the metal handle to contact exposed battery cell posts. Specifically, if tipped, the metal handle of the charger would contact and bridge the exposed battery cell posts of two battery cells. This exception was not approved and documented by engineering.

Regarding the extension cord, Exelon personnel routed and tied the extension cord across the underside of an open cable tray containing exposed safety related cables such that the cord was in near contact with the cables. The inspectors questioned the routing of the extension cord based on industry operating experience involving failures of extension cords. Exelon personnel responded that the associated procedures regarding temporary power cords, including extension cords, only required cords to not be routed within cable trays. The inspectors reviewed LGS design specifications and identified that 8031-E-412, “Wire & Cable Notes & Details,” section 11.1.2.d.2, required that temporary power cables, including extension cords, that are less than or equal to #4/0 AWG shall remain at least six inches from exposed Class 1E cables and that if this separation cannot be met that the cables be wrapped per the requirements for dropout cables. The extension cord was not wrapped. The inspectors interviewed Exelon personnel and determined that the personnel were not aware of this specification. The inspectors also reviewed Exelon’s procedures applicable to temporary power cables and confirmed that the procedures did not require the separation described in design specification 8031-E-1412. The inspectors performed a followup walkdown of the site on March 8, 2017, and identified a second temporary cord routed in the proximity of safety related cables with less than six inches separation and not wrapped.

The inspectors reviewed the work order package for the ‘2A2’ battery replacement. The inspectors noted that the applicable requirements for the staging of equipment as contained in the applicable procedure and design specification were not described. For the portable battery charger, Exelon personnel initially insulated the metal handle and then moved the portable battery charger and initiated condition report IR 3980217. For the extension cords, Exelon subsequently removed and rerouted cables to maintain the required separation and initiated IR 3980203 and IR 3983203. These activities were completed by March 8, 2017.

Analysis. The inspectors determined that the failure to establish instructions appropriate to the circumstances to properly stage equipment and route temporary power cables was reasonably within Exelon’s ability to foresee and correct and should have been prevented and therefore was a performance deficiency. This finding is more than minor because it adversely affected the configuration control attribute of the mitigating systems cornerstone to ensure the reliability of systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences (i.e. core damage). Specifically, the portable battery charger was adjacent to the ‘2A1’ battery rack and oriented such that it was susceptible to tipping over and causing electrical shorting, and a non-safety related temporary power cable connected to a non-safety related power source was routed in near contact with safety related cables in an open cable tray which introduced a potential to damage and disable safety related equipment.

Using IMC 0609, Appendix A, Exhibit 2, the inspectors determined that this finding was of very low safety significance (Green). Specifically, the finding did not represent a loss of system or function and did not represent the loss of a single train for greater than technical specification allowed outage times or greater than 24 hours.

The inspectors determined that this finding has a cross-cutting aspect in the area of Human Performance, Training, because Exelon did not provide sufficient training to maintain a knowledgeable workforce and instill nuclear safety values associated with the staging of material and equipment. [H.9]

Enforcement. 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion V, “Instructions, Procedures, and Drawings,” states, in part, that activities affecting quality shall be prescribed by documented instructions, procedures, or drawings, of a type appropriate to the circumstances. Contrary to the above, from February 8 through March 8, 2017, Exelon did not prescribe documented instructions of a type appropriate to the circumstances for activities affecting quality. Specifically, work order instructions for the staging of equipment and routing of temporary power cables did not contain sufficient detail to ensure applicable requirements were maintained. In particular, procedure MA-LG-716-026-1001 requires that unsecured equipment that is taller than it is wide shall be located at least two feet greater than its height from safety related equipment and that exceptions to this be approved and documented by engineering. Contrary to this, on February 8, 2017, a portable battery charger was staged that is taller than it is wide and was unsecured and not located at least two feet greater than its height from safety related equipment, and this exception was not approved and documented by engineering. In addition, LGS design specification 8031-E-412 requires that temporary power cables that are less than or equal to #4/0 AWG shall remain at least six inches from exposed Class 1E cables and that if this separation cannot be met that the cables be wrapped per the requirements for dropout cables. Contrary to this, from February 8 to March 8, 2017, temporary power cables that were less than or equal to #4/0 AWG were not at least six inches from exposed Class 1E cables and were not wrapped per the requirements for dropout cables. Exelon moved the portable battery charger and removed and rerouted temporary cables. Because this violation was of very low safety significance (Green) and was entered into Exelon’s corrective action program (IR 3980217; IR 3980203; and IR 3983203), the violation is being treated as an NCV, consistent with Section 2.3.2.a of the NRC Enforcement Policy. (NCV 05000353/2017001-01, Inadequate Work Instructions for Staging of Equipment and Routing of Temporary Power Cables)

.2 Full System Walkdown (71111.04S – 1 sample)

a. Inspection Scope

From March 22 through March 31, 2017, the inspectors performed a complete system walkdown of accessible portions of the D11 and D13 EDGs to verify the existing equipment lineups and material condition, handling, and storage. The inspectors reviewed operating procedures, equipment check-off lists, and the UFSAR to verify the systems were aligned and maintained properly. The inspectors also reviewed electrical power availability, component lubrication and equipment cooling, cable tray, hanger, and support functionality, and operability of support systems. The inspectors performed field walkdowns of accessible portions of the systems to verify system components and material condition of the components and examined structures and materials to verify that there were no deficiencies. For identified degradation the inspectors confirmed the degradation was appropriately managed by the applicable aging management program. Additionally, the inspectors reviewed a sample of related condition reports and work orders to ensure Exelon appropriately evaluated and resolved any deficiencies.

b. Findings

Introduction. The inspectors identified a Green self-revealing finding for the failure of Exelon personnel to follow procedures related to human performance tools which resulted in the inadvertent opening of the jacket water heat exchanger shell side drain valve for the ‘D13’ EDG. Specifically, Exelon personnel did not correctly identify and maintain a distance barrier from a diesel jacket water drain valve during maintenance activity which resulted in the draining of the jacket water system and unplanned unavailability.

Description. The EDG systems are safety related standby emergency power systems for Limerick Generating Station Units 1 and 2. The EDG systems consist of four diesel generator sets per unit. Each EDG has a cooling water system which consists of two cooling loops: the jacket water cooling loop which removes the excess heat of combustion and the air cooler coolant loop which removes the excess heat of compression. An expansion tank provides a positive static suction head for the pumps in each loop as well as maintaining each cooling loop and the associated components full of water. The expansion tank is connected to the non-safety related makeup and demineralized water system to permit filling and replenishing of the cooling water system. Proper operation of the jacket water cooling system is essential for the EDG to function.

On March 17, 2017, at 7:54 a.m., the main control room received an annunciator indicating a potential issue with the ‘D13’ EDG. A local alarm panel at ‘D13’ EDG indicated a low level in the jacket water expansion tank. An equipment operator identified that the tank was empty and found the jacket water heat exchanger shell side drain valve to be open. Exelon declared ‘D13’ EDG to be inoperable and unavailable. Exelon determined that shortly before receipt of the alarms that technicians had performed work in the area next to the valve to ensure manometer gauges were full prior to a scheduled run of ‘D13’ EDG.

Since jacket water would rapidly drain to a hard-piped drain, Exelon determined through interviews, simulated activity at the area, and calculated drain time that technicians inadvertently mispositioned the valve during the manometer fill activity. Exelon determined the primary cause of the event to be inadequate action taken by the technicians to prevent contact with the drain valve. Although the technicians performed a 2-Minute Drill, they did not recognize their actual proximity to the valve and did not take further action(s) to prevent contact in accordance with procedure HU-AA-101, “Human Performance Tools and Verification Practices.” HU-AA-101 requires that work within two feet of positionable components be discussed as part of a pre-job brief or be evaluated at the job site using the 2 Minute Drill. The 2 Minute Drill requires the worker(s) to check for, understand, and mitigate hazards associated with the activity. The technicians did not adequately mitigate the hazard associated with a positionable component. Exelon also determined that the valve was not properly restrained because the restraints were not installed to restrict valve movement.

The inspectors reviewed and discussed the issue with Exelon personnel and determined that Exelon’s conclusions were justified and appropriate. The inspectors noted that the valve mispositioning violated procedure 1S92.1.N (COL-3), “Equipment Alignment for 1C Diesel Generator Operation,” which requires the jacket water heat exchanger shell side drain valve to be closed and restrained so that ‘D13’ EDG is aligned for automatic operation.

Exelon subsequently closed the valve, refilled the jacket water system, restored ‘D13’ to an operable condition at 3:30 p.m., and initiated IR 3986305.

Analysis. The inspectors determined that the failure to correctly identify and maintain a distance barrier from a diesel generator jacket water drain valve during maintenance activity was reasonably within Exelon’s ability to foresee and correct and should have been prevented and therefore was a performance deficiency. This finding is more than minor because it adversely affected the configuration control attribute of the mitigating systems cornerstone to ensure the availability of systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences (i.e. core damage). Specifically, the valve mispositioning caused the ‘D13’ EDG to be inoperable and unavailable.

Using IMC 0609, Appendix A, Exhibit 2, the inspectors determined that this finding was of very low safety significance (Green). Specifically, the finding did not represent a loss of system or function and did not represent the loss of a single train for greater than technical specification allowed outage times or greater than 24 hours.

The inspectors determined that this finding has a cross-cutting aspect in the area of Human Performance, Avoid Complacency, because Exelon personnel did not properly implement human error reduction tools. [H.12]

Enforcement. The inspectors did not identify a violation of regulatory requirements for the failure of Exelon personnel to follow procedures related to human performance tools.

valves found slightly open on March 18, 2017 The inspectors evaluated the technical adequacy of the operability determinations to assess whether technical specification operability was properly justified and the subject component or system remained available such that no unrecognized increase in risk occurred. The inspectors compared the operability and design criteria in the appropriate sections of the technical specifications and UFSAR to Exelon’s evaluations to determine whether the components or systems were operable. The inspectors confirmed, where appropriate, compliance with bounding limitations associated with the evaluations. Where compensatory measures were required to maintain operability, such as in the case of operator workarounds, the inspectors determined whether the measures in place would function as intended and were properly controlled by Exelon.

b. Findings

1R17 Evaluations of Changes, Tests, or Experiments (IP 71111.17T - 29 samples)

a. Inspection Scope

Three inspectors from the NRC Region I Office completed an inspection March 6 through 9, 2017 at LGS to verify Exelon staff performed screens and evaluations of changes and tests in accordance with regulatory requirements and Exelon implementing guidance. The team specifically reviewed three safety evaluations to evaluate whether the changes to the facility or procedures, as described in the UFSAR, had been reviewed and documented in accordance with 10 CFR 50.59 requirements. The safety evaluations were sampled from those completed by Exelon staff since the last NRC inspection of this area and had not been previously reviewed by NRC inspectors. In addition, the team evaluated whether Exelon staff had been required to obtain NRC approval prior to implementing the changes. The team interviewed Exelon staff and reviewed supporting information including calculations, analyses, design change documentation, procedures, the UFSAR, the technical specifications, and plant drawings to assess the adequacy of the safety evaluations.

Page 18: Limerick Generating Station - Integrated Inspection Report ... › docs › ML1713 › ML17131A008.pdf · 05000352/2017001 AND 05000353/2017001 . Dear Mr. Hanson: On March 31, 2017,

13

The team compared the safety evaluations and supporting documents to the guidance and methods provided in Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI) 96-07, “Guidelines for 10 CFR 50.59 Evaluations,” as endorsed by NRC Regulatory Guide 1.187, “Guidance for Implementation of 10 CFR 50.59, Changes, Tests, and Experiments,” to determine the adequacy of the safety evaluations.

The team also reviewed a sample of twenty-six 10 CFR 50.59 screenings and applicability determinations for which Exelon staff had concluded that a safety evaluation was not required to be performed. These reviews were performed to assess whether Exelon‘s threshold for performing safety evaluations was consistent with 10 CFR 50.59. The sample included design changes, calculations, and procedure changes. The screenings and applicability determinations were selected based on the safety significance, risk significance, and complexity of the change to the facility.

In addition, the team compared Exelon’s implementing administrative procedures used to control the screening, preparation, review, and approval of safety evaluations to the guidance in NEI 96-07 to evaluate whether those procedures adequately implemented the requirements of 10 CFR 50.59. The reviewed safety evaluations, screenings, and applicability determinations are listed in the Attachment.

The team verified that Exelon staff entered significant performance issues concerning their 50.59 program into their corrective action program. The team verified that Exelon staff developed appropriate corrective actions to address those issues. A list of documents reviewed is provided in the Attachment to this report.

4OA2 Problem Identification and Resolution (71152 – 1 sample) .1 Routine Review of Problem Identification and Resolution Activities

a. Inspection Scope

As required by Inspection Procedure 71152, “Problem Identification and Resolution,” the inspectors routinely reviewed issues during baseline inspection activities and plant status reviews to verify Exelon entered issues into the corrective action program at an appropriate threshold, gave adequate attention to timely corrective actions, and identified and addressed adverse trends. In order to assist with the identification of repetitive equipment failures and specific human performance issues for follow-up, the inspectors performed a daily screening of items entered into the corrective action program and periodically attended condition report screening meetings. The inspectors also confirmed, on a sampling basis, that, as applicable, for identified defects and non-conformances, Exelon performed an evaluation in accordance with 10 CFR Part 21.

b. Findings

No findings were identified. .2 Annual Sample: Unit 2 HPCI Trip Unit Failure

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors performed an in-depth review of Exelon’s work group evaluation and corrective actions associated with condition report IR 2523623 which was written in response to a Unit 2 HPCI steam line flow trip unit failure on July 3, 2015. The inspectors assessed Exelon’s problem identification threshold, cause analyses, extent of condition reviews, compensatory actions, and the prioritization and timeliness of Exelon’s corrective actions to determine whether Exelon was appropriately identifying, characterizing, and correcting problems associated with this issue and whether the planned or completed corrective actions were appropriate. The inspectors compared the actions taken to the requirements of Exelon’s corrective action program and 10 CFR 50, Appendix B. In addition, the inspectors interviewed engineering personnel to assess the effectiveness of the implemented corrective actions.

b. Findings and Observations No findings were identified. Exelon determined the most probable cause of the HPCI steam line flow trip unit failure was age related since the component was approaching its end of qualified life. The trip unit is a Rosemount 710DU0TS trip unit. The trip units are on a 24-year replacement as required by the preventive maintenance template. The vendor recommends that the trip units be replaced on a 30-year periodicity. The preventive maintenance template is established on a 24-year periodicity to allow for a standard 25 percent grace period while still meeting the 30-year qualified life cycle. The Unit 2 HPCI steam line flow trip unit was at 25 years in service and scheduled to be replaced in 2016 before failing on July 3, 2015.

Page 24: Limerick Generating Station - Integrated Inspection Report ... › docs › ML1713 › ML17131A008.pdf · 05000352/2017001 AND 05000353/2017001 . Dear Mr. Hanson: On March 31, 2017,

19

The inspectors reviewed Exelon’s corrective actions to address the failed trip unit. The inspectors determined Exelon conducted a thorough technical review of the issue. Corrective actions for the failed trip unit included replacing the affected component, reviewing similar trip units to determine susceptibility to age related failure, and reporting the trip unit failure to the corporate circuit card working group for assessment and tracking. The inspectors concluded that Exelon’s overall response to the HPCI steam line flow trip unit failure was commensurate with the safety significance, was timely, and included appropriate compensatory measures.

4OA5 Other Activities .1 Temporary Instruction (TI) 2515/192: Inspection of the Licensee’s Interim

Compensatory Measures Associated with the Open Phase Condition Design Vulnerabilities in Electric Power Systems

a. Inspection Scope

The objective of this performance based TI is to verify implementation of interim compensatory measures associated with an open phase condition (OPC) design vulnerability in electric power system for operating reactors. The inspectors conducted an inspection to determine if Exelon had implemented the following interim compensatory measures. These compensatory measures are to remain in place until permanent automatic detection and protection schemes are installed and declared operable for OPC design vulnerability. The inspectors verified the following:

• Exelon had identified and discussed with plant staff the lessons-learned from the OPC

events at the US operating plants including the Byron station OPC event and its consequences. This includes conducting operator training for promptly diagnosing, recognizing consequences, and responding to an OPC event.

• Exelon had updated plant operating procedures to help operators promptly diagnose and respond to OPC events on off-site power sources credited for safe shutdown of the plant.

• Exelon had established and continues to implement periodic walkdown activities to inspect switchyard equipment such as insulators, disconnect switches, and transmission line and transformer connections associated with the offsite power circuits to detect a visible OPC.

• Exelon had ensured that routine maintenance and testing activities on switchyard

components have been implemented and maintained. As part of the maintenance and testing activities, Exelon assessed and managed plant risk in accordance with 10 CFR 50.65(a)(4) requirements.

b. Findings and Observations:

No findings of significance were identified. The inspectors verified the criteria were met.

.2 (Closed) Unresolved Item (URI) 05000352; 05000353/2015001-03: Operability of High Pressure Coolant Injection and Entries into Operational Conditions at Low Reactor Pressures with High Reactor Water Level Trip Actuated

In the first quarter of 2015 integrated inspection report, ADAMS Accession No. ML15133A242, a URI was opened because more information was required to determine if a performance deficiency and violation existed for an issue of concern related to Exelon’s determination that the operability and safety function of the HPCI system was maintained at reactor pressures lower than normal operating pressure but above 200 psig which would prevent automatic HPCI system actuation on high drywell pressure. By application dated April 4, 2016, ADAMS Accession No. ML 16095A275, Exelon submitted a license amendment request for LGS, Units 1 and 2. The proposed amendments were to modify the HPCI system and RCIC system actuation instrumentation technical specification requirements by adding a footnote indicating that the injection functions of drywell pressure-high (HPCI only) and manual initiation (HPCI and RCIC) are not required to be operable under low reactor pressure conditions. The NRC issued license amendments dated February 28, 2017, ADAMS Accession No. ML16356A272, that revised the technical specification requirements for the HPCI system and RCIC system actuation instrumentation as proposed by Exelon. The NRC staff confirmed Exelon’s determination that the consequences of off-calibration of the wide range level instrumentation at low pressure are not significant and do not affect the core cooling analysis results. The NRC staff determined that the consequences of wide range reactor vessel water level off-calibration do not lead to a more severe reactor condition when low pressure conditions are considered. The effect of pressure on water density results in comparable mass inventory above the lower instrument tap; therefore, the wide range off-calibration condition has a minimal effect on the reactor water inventory available for core cooling. This capability is consistent with general design criterion (GDC) 13 of 10 CFR 50, Appendix A. The NRC staff confirmed that a postulated loss of coolant accident (LOCA) at full power and normal operating pressure is bounding for a LOCA in the 200-550 psig range. Therefore, the staff concluded that the proposed footnote had no impact on the LGS licensing basis for ECCS response to a LOCA as indicated by high drywell pressure actuation and concluded that the proposed footnote to technical specifications was consistent with the plant design and licensing basis, and complied with GDC 13 of Appendix A to 10 CFR Part 50 and 10 CFR 50.36. The inspectors reviewed Exelon’s submittal and the approved safety evaluation. The inspectors determined that a license amendment request was submitted by Exelon and approved by the NRC to modify the technical specifications to clarify and describe that the injection functions of drywell pressure-high (HPCI only) and manual initiation (HPCI and RCIC) are not required to be operable under low reactor pressure conditions. The inspectors confirmed that Exelon did not implement, nor was required to implement, a design and/or operational modification to address the issue. Therefore, the issue of concern was an inconsistency in the NRC-approved technical specifications and was not more than minor because the issue was not a design change implemented by Exelon, involved a failure to clearly describe the facility in the UFSAR and technical specifications, and did not have a material impact on safety or licensed activities (NRC Enforcement Manual, Revision 10, Part 1 – Sections 2.1.B and 2.1.C, and Part II – Sections 2.1.3.D and 2.1.3.E). The inspectors concluded that no finding existed. No additional deficiencies were identified during review of this URI. URI 05000352/05000353/2015001-03 is closed.
