NOTICE OF VIOLATION
Exelon Generation Company, LLC
Dresden Nuclear Power Station
During an NRC inspection conducted on January 16, 2007, and an investigation conducted by
the NRC Office of Investigations (OI report 3-2007-009), a violation of NRC requirements was
identified. In accordance with NRC Enforcement Policy, the violation is listed below:
Dresden Nuclear Power Station, Unit 2, Technical Specification (TS) 5.4.1 states, in part, that
written procedures shall be established, implemented, and maintained covering the applicable
procedures recommended in Regulatory Guide 1.33, Revision 2, Appendix A, dated
February 1978.
Regulatory Guide 1.33, Revision 2, Appendix A, dated February 1978, (1)(g) states that a
typical safety-related activity that should be covered by written procedures is shift and relief
turnover.
Dresden Nuclear Power Station uses operating procedure OP-AA-112-101, Revision 2,
Shift Turnover and Relief, and Operator Aid #159, Revision 28, Page 6 of 8,
Nuclear Station Operator (NSO) Turnover Checklist, to meet TS 5.4.1 at the NSO position.
Operating procedure OP-AA-112-101, Revision 2, Shift Turnover and Relief, Section 3.1,
requires that, all shift personnel are responsible for reviewing and understanding the logs,
checklist and turnover sheets applicable to their shift position before assuming the shift.
Section 3.2 requires that, the off-going operator shall not leave his/her work area until he/she is
satisfied that his/her relief is fully aware of existing conditions. Section 4.1.3 requires shift
personnel to, VERIFY important operating parameters, especially those relating to safety
systems, as identified on the turnover sheet prior to assuming the shift.
Operator Aid #159, Revision 28, Page 6 of 8, Nuclear Station Operator (NSO) Turnover
Checklist, requires the on-coming NSO to perform the following per OP-AA procedures before
relieving shift:
READ control room logs from last date on-shift or previous four days, whichever
is less.
DISCUSS with off-going NSO all items on unit and common turnover sheets, shift
and daily surveillances, and any other pertinent information.
TOUR main control panels and DISCUSS:
Status of safety related systems,
Running equipment and safety train alignments,
Inoperable equipment, including instrumentation,
LCORAs [limiting condition for operation required action],
including surveillance requirements,
Reasons for annunciator alarms,
C/O [clearance order] and surveillance work in progress, and
Abnormal events over past 24 hours.
TOUR main control room back panels.
TOUR main control room common panels.
Contrary to the above, on January 16, 2007, two nuclear station operators failed to perform a
proper shift turnover and relief at Dresden Unit 2 when the operators did not comply with
operating procedure OP-AA-112-101 and Operator Aid # 159. Specifically, the on-coming
operator did not read the control room logs from the last date on-shift, did not tour the main
control room back panels, and did not tour the main control room common panels. The
on-coming and off-going operators did not tour the main control panels, and did not discuss all
the information regarding unit status. The off-going operator left the work area without the
on coming operator being fully aware of existing conditions.
This is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement I).
The NRC has concluded that information regarding the reason for the violation, the corrective
actions taken and planned to correct the violation and prevent recurrence and the date when full
compliance was achieved is already adequately addressed in Dresden Nuclear Power Station,
Units 2 and 3 NRC Integrated Inspection Report 05000237/2007004; 05000249/2007004.
However, you are required to submit a written statement or explanation pursuant to 10 CFR
2.201 if the description therein does not accurately reflect your corrective actions or your
position. In that case, or if you choose to respond, clearly mark your response as a Reply to a

SUMMARY OF FINDINGS
IR 05000237/2007004; 05000249/2007004; 07/01/2007 - 09/30/2007; Exelon
Generation Company, Dresden Nuclear Power Station, Units 2 and 3, Flood Protection
Measures, Event Followup and Other Activities.
This report covers a three month period of baseline resident inspection and announced baseline
inspections by a radiation protection specialist. The inspection was conducted by Region III
inspectors and the resident inspectors. One Cited Severity Level IV violation using traditional
enforcement and two Green findings, both involving Non-Cited Violations were identified. The
significance of most findings is indicated by their color (Green, White, Yellow, Red) using
Inspection Manual Chapter 0609, Significance Determination Process (SDP). Findings for
which the SDP does not apply may be Green or be assigned a severity level after NRC
management review. The NRCs program for overseeing the safe operation of commercial
nuclear power reactors is described in NUREG-1649, Reactor Oversight Process, Revision 3,
dated July 2000.

Enclosure
of the HPCI drain pot drain line leak with the appropriate piping. Unit 2 and 3 HPCI
system carbon steel piping susceptible to flow accelerated corrosion was identified and
evaluated for acceptance of the degraded condition until replacement.
The inspectors determined that this finding was more than minor because the
performance deficiency impacted the Mitigating Systems cornerstone objective to ensure
the availability, reliability, and capability of systems that respond to initiating events. The
inspectors determined that the finding was of very low safety significance because the
system was inoperable for only a short period of time. The finding was determined not
to have a cross-cutting aspect because it was greater than two years old and not
reflective of current performance. (Section 4OA3)
Severity Level IV. The inspectors identified a performance deficiency involving a
Severity Level IV violation of Technical Specification 5.4.1, Operating Procedure
OP-AA 112-101, and Operator Aid #159, when two licensed Nuclear Station Operators
deliberately failed to follow station procedures on January 16, 2007, during the Unit 2
operations shift turnover. At the time of this event, Unit 2 was in an elevated risk profile
(yellow) due to various plant components being taken out-of-service. This increased risk
profile amplified the importance of knowing and understanding plant conditions. The
licensees corrective actions included: 1) the Unit Supervisor had an alternate operator
relieve the on-coming operator involved with improper turnover, 2) the licensee
convened a fact finding investigation to determine the facts of the event, 3) the licensee
increased the awareness of the operators at the facility to the importance of proper shift
turnover, and 4) the licensee took disciplinary action toward the two individuals.
The NRC Office of Investigations conducted an investigation which concluded that the
two Nuclear Station Operators deliberately failed to complete shift turnover and relief
procedures. This issue was evaluated using the traditional enforcement process. The
violation was categorized in accordance with the NRC Enforcement Policy. The failure
to follow the shift turnover procedure, absent willfulness, had no actual safety
consequences, and constitutes a minor violation. Considering willfulness on the part of
the operators, a Severity Level IV violation is warranted. The violation is being cited
because it was willful and was identified by the NRC. (Section 4OA5)

fighting activities; and that compensatory measures for out-of-service, degraded, or
inoperable fire protection equipment were implemented in accordance with the
licensees fire plan. Minor deficiencies noted during this inspection were verified to be
included in the licensees corrective action program. Documents reviewed are listed in
the Attachment. The following areas were walked down:
Unit 2/3 Emergency Swing Diesel Generator, 517 Elevation, Fire Zone: 9.0.C;
Unit 2 Turbine Building, 561 Elevation, Main Turbine Floor, Fire Zone: 8.2.8.A;

Zone 18.7.1; and
Unit 2 Reactor Building, 545' Elevation, Secondary Containment, Fire
Zone 1.1.2.3.
Findings
No findings of significance were identified.
Inspection Scope
The inspection focused on verifying that flooding mitigation plans and equipment were
maintained as required and that the plans were consistent with design requirements.
The inspection activities included, but were not limited to, visually inspecting the
watertight door seals, other penetration seals for pipes, and cables and the floor drains
within the room. In addition, the inspectors reviewed the results of flooding related
equipment surveillance tests to ensure that acceptance criteria were met, and reviewed
the flooding and surveillance procedures for technical adequacy. The inspectors
performed a review of the following:
Unit 2 low pressure coolant injection and core spray east corner room.
This represented one inspection sample for internal flooding.

The inspectors reviewed the UFSAR flood analysis documents and reviewed the
licensees procedures for external flooding. The inspectors reviewed the licensees
procedures for external flooding for ensuring proper safe shutdown of the plant, and
reviewed the licensees previously implemented corrective actions for deficiencies
associated with flood protection. Currently, the licensees approach to flood protection is
to let the flood waters in and provide cooling flow to the isolation condensers for both
units via a diesel driven pump. The inspectors had outstanding questions in regard to
the diesel driven pump that were documented in URI 05000237/2006010-04;
05000249/2006010-04, Full Flow Testing of the Diesel Driven Flooding Pump at Design

Enclosure
Findings
Introduction: The inspectors identified a performance deficiency involving a Non-Cited
Violation of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion XVI, Corrective Action, for the
failure to promptly identify and adequately correct issues with the operation and testing
of the isolation condenser emergency make-up pump.
Description: As a corrective action to NCV 05000237/2007003-04;
05000249/2007003-04, Failure To Identify And Correct Issues With The Operation And
Testing Of The Diesel Driven Pump Used To Respond To External Flooding, the
licensee replaced three inch suction and discharge piping with four inch suction and
discharge piping to ensure proper net positive suction head to the pumps. The
inspectors attempted to verify that the licensees corrective action would ensure that the
isolation condenser emergency make-up pump would be able to perform its function and
identified that the suction hoses and hose connectors were not properly controlled.
Several pieces of required equipment were not found in the proper designated storage
location. Most of the equipment was eventually found at other locations within the
protected area. Licensee Issue Report 574887, Inadequate NPSH [net positive suction
head] For Emergency Flood Pump, initiated on January 3, 2007, Assignment #3
required the purchase of 2 Part #PF30X40A, aluminum adapters. This was marked as
complete on February 22, 2007. Procedure DOA 0010-04, Floods, Revision 27,
Step D.9.e, stated that the hoses and fittings were located in the Sea-Vans east of the
Station Blackout Diesel Building. There was no corrective action assignment, once these
parts were purchased, to place them in the Sea-Vans.
One 3 inch to 4 inch hose adaptor was not yet purchased and, therefore, was not
available on site. The licensee was not aware that the 3 inch to 4 inch adaptor had not
yet been purchased. Not having this connector would prevent the connection of the
hoses to both units at the same time as described in DOA 0010-04, Floods,
Revision 29. The licensee would be able to add water to the isolation condensers but to
only one unit at a time. The purchase of this connector was part of a corrective action
(Assignment #3 to IR 574887) marked as complete on February 22, 2007.
Analysis: The inspectors determined that the failure to ensure that the correct
equipment was available to provide an adequate supply of make-up water to the
isolation condenser during flood conditions to prevent core damage was a performance
deficiency warranting a significance evaluation in accordance with IMC 0612, Power
Reactor Inspection Reports, Appendix B, Issue Screening, issued on
November 2, 2006. The inspectors determined that the finding was more than minor
because it (1) involved the equipment performance and procedure quality attributes of
the Mitigating Systems cornerstone and (2) affected the cornerstone objective of
Enclosure
ensuring the reliability, and capability of systems that respond to initiating events to
prevent undesirable consequences.
The inspectors determined that the finding could be evaluated using the SDP in
accordance with IMC 0609, Significance Determination Process, Appendix A, dated
March 23, 2007, because the finding was associated with the reliability of a Mitigating
System. The inspectors concluded that the diesel driven make-up pump would be a
Mitigating System in the case of the probable maximum flood (PMF). For the Phase 1
screening, the inspectors answered No to the first four questions under the Mitigating
Systems column. The inspectors then went to the Phase 1 worksheet for Seismic, Fire,
Flooding, and Severe Weather Criteria. Question 1 was answered Yes. Question 2
was answered No, because the equipment or safety function was not assumed to
completely fail or be unavailable. As a result, the issue was screened to be of very low
safety significance, Green. The primary cause of this finding was related to the
cross-cutting issue of Problem Identification and Resolution, Corrective Action Program,
because the licensee failed to take appropriate corrective actions to address safety
issues in a timely manner, commensurate with their safety significance and complexity
(P.1.d).
Enforcement: Title 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Introduction, requires, in part that
nuclear power plants and fuel reprocessing plants include structures, systems, and
components that prevent or mitigate the consequences of postulated accidents that
could cause undue risk to the health and safety of the public.
Title 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion II, Quality Assurance Program, requires, in
part, that the applicant shall identify the structures, systems, and components to be
covered by the quality assurance program.
The licensees Quality Assurance Topical Report (QATR), Revision 79, Appendix F,
Section 2.2, Quality Classification, stated, in part, that the scope of the Companys
QATR includes, but is not limited to, items and activities related to safe nuclear plant
operation,...this process relies on the use of the terms Safety Related, Augmented
Quality, and QATR Scope. Section 2.2.1.1 of Appendix F, stated, in part, that items
within the scope of the QATR are designated as Nuclear Safety Related or
Augmented Quality.
The isolation condenser emergency make up pump is designated Augmented Quality,
and is a Mitigating System in the probable maximum flood postulated scenario in the
UFSAR.
Licensee procedure DOA 0010-04, Floods, Revision 29, step D.9.h required
connecting a 4 inch to 3 inch connecting flange to both Unit 2 valve 2-4199-135 and
Unit 3 valve 3-4199-141.
Title 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion XVI, Corrective Action, requires, in part,
that measures be established to assure that conditions adverse to quality, such as
deficiencies, defective material and equipment, and non-conformances, are promptly
identified and corrected.
Enclosure
Contrary to this requirement, from February 22, 2007, to July 27, 2007, the licensee
failed to ensure that a condition adverse to quality, specifically, the inability to connect
discharge hoses to the isolation condenser emergency make up pump in accordance
with the abnormal operating procedure, was corrected. The NRC identified that one
3 inch to 4 inch hose adaptor was not yet purchased, was not available on site, and
could not be connected per DOA 0010-04, Floods, Revision 29, step D.9.h.
Additionally, two other connectors, while on site, were not in the location required by the
procedure.
The licensees corrective actions for this issue included restoring the inventory of hoses
and connectors to the appropriate number, sizes, and locations. Because this issue is of
very low safety significance and has been entered into the licensees corrective action
program (Issue Report 574887), this violation is being treated as a Non-Cited Violation,
consistent with Section VI.A., of the NRC Enforcement Policy. (NCV 05000237/200700401; 05000249/2007004-01)
1R11 Licensed Operator Requalification (71111.11Q)
a.
Inspection Scope
The inspectors were unable to observe a dynamic simulator evaluation this quarter. The
inspectors reviewed two remediation packages of senior reactor operators that failed an
evaluation on August 27, 2007. The senior reactor operators failed to fill out emergency
preparedness notification forms correctly. The inspectors determined that the
remediation for these failures was correct and performed in a timely manner.
This represented one inspection sample.
b.
Findings
No findings of significance were identified.
Inspection Scope
The inspectors assessed the implementation of the licensees maintenance rule program
to evaluate maintenance effectiveness for the selected systems in accordance with
10 CFR 50.65, Maintenance Rule. The following systems were selected based on
being designated as risk significant under the Maintenance Rule, being in increased
monitoring (Maintenance Rule Category a(1) group), or due to an inspectors identified
issue or problem that potentially impacted system work practices, reliability, or common
cause failures:
Enclosure
common cause errors, extent of condition, and trending of key parameters. Additionally,
the inspectors reviewed the licensee's implementation of the Maintenance Rule
requirements, including a review of scoping, goal-setting, performance monitoring,
short-term and long-term corrective actions, functional failure determinations associated
with the condition and issue report reviews, and current equipment performance status.
This represented two inspection samples.
b.
Findings
No findings of significance were identified.
Inspection Scope
The inspectors evaluated the implementation of the licensees maintenance risk program
with respect to the effectiveness of the risk assessments performed before maintenance
activities were conducted on structures, systems, and components and verified that the
licensee managed the risk in accordance with 10 CFR 50.65, Maintenance Rule. The
inspectors evaluated whether the licensee had taken the necessary steps to plan and
control emergent work activities. The inspectors also verified that equipment necessary
to complete planned contingency actions was staged and available. The inspectors
completed evaluations of maintenance activities on the following:

Unit 3 Shutdown to Repair High Pressure Core Injection (HPCI) Inboard Isolation Valve
Inspection scope
The unit was shutdown on September 14, 2007. The 3-2301-4 HPCI inboard steam
isolation valve failed to close during a routine surveillance test. The licensee determined
that the problem was in the drywell and that a shutdown was required to make repairs.
The licensee replaced the motor on the 3-2301-4 valve, replaced a position indication
limit switch on the C inboard main steam isolation valve, and performed boroscope
examinations of other valve motors in the drywell that had magnesium rotors. The
inspectors observed the plant shutdown and portions of the cooldown, and performed a
drywell closeout on September 15, 2007.
This represents one inspection sample.
b.
Findings
No findings of significance were identified.
Routine Inspections
Inspection Scope
The inspectors observed surveillance testing on risk-significant equipment and reviewed
test results. The inspectors assessed whether the selected plant equipment could
perform its intended safety function and satisfy the requirements contained in TSs.
Following the completion of each test, the inspectors determined that the test equipment
was removed and the equipment returned to a condition in which it could perform its
intended safety function.
The inspectors witnessed one reactor coolant system (RCS) leakage detection
surveillance test to assess whether the structures, systems, and components met the
requirements of the TSs, and the Updated Final Safety Analysis Report. The inspectors
also evaluated whether the testing effectively quantified RCS leakage and demonstrated
that the structures, systems, and components were operationally ready and capable of
performing their intended safety functions.

The inspectors reviewed RWPs and associated work packages which governed
activities in radiologically significant areas to identify the work control instructions and
control barriers that had been specified. For these activities, electronic dosimeter alarm
set points for both integrated dose and dose rate were evaluated for conformity with
survey indications.
The inspectors walked down and surveyed (using an NRC survey meter) radiologically
significant area boundaries and other radiological areas in the Unit 2 and 3 Reactor,
Turbine, and Radwaste Buildings to determine if the prescribed radiological access
controls were in place, licensee postings were complete and accurate, and physical
barricades/barriers were adequate. During the walkdowns, the inspectors challenged
access control boundaries to determine if high radiation area (HRA), locked high
radiation area (LHRA), and very high radiation area (VHRA) access was controlled in
compliance with the licensees procedure, Technical Specifications, and the
requirements of 10 CFR 20.1601, and was consistent with Regulatory Guide 8.38,
Control of Access to High and Very High Radiation Areas in Nuclear Power Plants.
The inspectors selectively reviewed RWP and post-job review documents for selected
activities completed during approximately the seven month period that preceded the
inspection dating back to the licensees previous refueling outage to determine if barrier
integrity and engineering controls performance (e.g., filtered ventilation system
operation) were adequate and to determine if there was a potential for individual worker
internal exposures of greater than 50 millirem committed effective dose equivalent. The
inspectors reviewed the licensees methods for the assessment of internal dose, as
required by 10 CFR 20.1204, to ensure methodologies were technically sound and
included assessment of the impact of hard to detect radionuclides such as pure beta and
alpha emitters, as applicable. The inspectors reviewed internal dose assessment results
and associated calculations for selected workers that had positive whole body count
results since November 2006. No worker internal exposures greater than 50 millirem
committed effective dose equivalent occurred for the period reviewed by the inspectors.
The inspectors reviewed the licensees physical and programmatic controls for activated
and/or contaminated materials (non-fuel) stored within the spent fuel pools. Specifically,
radiation protection (RP) procedures were reviewed; RP staff were interviewed; and a
walkdown of the refuel floor was conducted. In particular, the radiological control for
non-fuel materials stored in the spent fuel pools was evaluated to ensure adequate
barriers were in-place to reduce the potential for the inadvertent movement of these
materials and to determine compliance with the licensees procedure and for consistency
with NRC regulatory guidance.
These reviews represented six inspection samples.

with individual ARs related to the radiological access and exposure control programs to
determine if identified problems were entered into the corrective action program for
resolution. In particular, the inspectors reviewed radiological issues which occurred over
the 11-month period that preceded the inspection including the review of any HRA
radiological incidents (non-PI occurrences identified by the licensee in high and locked
high radiation areas) to determine if follow-up activities were conducted in an effective
and timely manner commensurate with their importance to safety and risk based on the

Inspection Scope
The inspectors evaluated the radiological controls, job coverage and radiation worker
practices during the transfer of a condensate pre-filter from the turbine deck down into
a shipping cask positioned in the Turbine Building trackway. The inspectors also
evaluated the work practices of contractor staff involved in the radwaste demineralizer
vault cleanup project in the Radwaste Building. Radiation survey information to support
these work activities was reviewed by inspectors, the radiological job requirements and
the access control provisions for these areas was assessed for conformity with
Technical Specifications and with the licensees procedure, and field observations were
made to determine if measures were implemented to reduce dose. The inspectors also
attended the pre-job briefing for the filter transfer activity to assess the adequacy of the
information exchanged.
Job performance was observed to determine if radiological conditions in the work
areas were adequately communicated to workers through the pre-job briefing and area
postings. The inspectors also evaluated the adequacy of the controls provided by the
radiation protection staff including the performance of radiological surveys, the work
coverage provided by the radiation protection technicians (RPTs) and supervisory
oversight, and the administrative and physical controls used over ingress/egress into
these areas.
The inspectors reviewed the licensees procedures and associated records, and
discussed with RP staff its practices for entry into locked high and very high radiation
areas and for areas with the potential for changing radiological conditions such as steam
sensitive areas at power. These reviews were conducted to determine the adequacy of
the radiological controls and the radiological hazards assessment associated with such
entries. Work instructions provided in RWPs and in pre-entry briefing documents were
discussed with RP staff to determine their adequacy relative to industry practices and
NRC Information Notices.
The inspectors also reviewed the licensees procedure and generic practices
associated with dosimetry placement and the use of multiple whole body dosimetry for
work in high radiation areas having significant dose gradients for compliance with the
requirements of 10 CFR 20.1201(c) and applicable industry guidelines. Additionally,
previously completed work in areas where dose rate gradients were subject to significant
variation, such as work under-vessel, were reviewed to evaluate the licensees practices
for dosimetry placement.
These reviews represented three inspection samples.

The inspectors reviewed the licensees procedures and radiological job standards,
and evaluated RP practices for the control of access to radiologically significant
areas (high, locked high, and very high radiation areas). The inspectors assessed
compliance with the licensees Technical Specifications, procedures and the
requirements of 10 CFR Part 20, and for consistency with the guidance contained in
Regulatory Guide 8.38. In particular, the inspectors evaluated the RP staffs control
of keys to LHRAs and VHRAs, the use of access control guards during work in these
areas, and methods and practices for independently verifying proper closure and
locking of access doors upon area egress. The inspectors selectively reviewed LHRA
and VHRA key issuance/return and door lock verification records and key
accountability logs for selected periods between August 2006 and July 2007 to
determine the adequacy of accountability practices and documentation. The
inspectors also reviewed selected records and evaluated the RP staffs practices for
radiation protection manager and station management approval for access into Level 2
LHRAs and VHRAs, and for the use of flashing lights in lieu of locking areas to
determine if compliance with procedure requirements and those of 10 CFR 20.1602 was
achieved.
The inspectors discussed with RP staff the controls that were in place for areas that
had the potential to become high radiation areas during certain plant operations to
determine if these plant operations required communication before hand with the
RP group, so as to allow corresponding timely actions to properly post and control the
radiation hazards.
The inspectors conducted plant walkdowns to verify the posting and locking of entrances
to numerous LHRAs in the Unit 2 and 3 Reactor and Turbine Buildings and the common
Radwaste Building including all five Level-2 LHRAs, and for all four VHRAs (TIP rooms
and Drywell airlocks).

D3R19 Outage Dose Performance Root Cause Investigation Report and examined the
impact of moisture carryover problems and the licensees actions to address those
problems to determine whether appropriate actions were taken consistent with the
requirements to maintain doses ALARA. Moreover, the inspectors reviewed the
timeliness of the licensees actions relative to moisture carryover issues, and evaluated
the adequacy of the dose mitigation strategies that were considered and implemented by
the licensee. Additionally, the inspectors examined the ALARA planning for drywell
ventilation system maintenance to determine if walkdowns were completed and/or
design drawings were reviewed to allow the work scope and the specific routes for
drywell cooler motor rigging to have been adequately defined.
The inspectors reviewed the licensees process for adjusting outage exposure estimates
when unexpected changes in scope, emergent work or other unanticipated problems
were encountered which could significantly impact worker exposures. This included
determining that adjustments to estimated exposure (intended dose) were based on
sound radiation protection and ALARA principles and not adjusted to account for failures
to effectively plan or control the work.

The inspectors interviewed engineering management personnel. The inspectors
reviewed the licensees root cause report of the event associated with IR 598719,
HPCI Drain Pot Outlet Piping Down Stream of 3-2301-55 VL, on which
LER 259/2007-001 was based. The inspectors also reviewed IR 578305, HPCI Drain
Line Leaking Near Trap.
This LER is closed with the associated Non-Cited Violation.
This represents one inspection sample.
b.
Findings
Introduction: A Green finding involving a Non-Cited Violation of 10 CFR Part 50,
Appendix B, Criterion III, was self revealed after the Unit 3 HPCI system was removed
from service on March 2, 2007, due to a steam leak on the inlet drain pot drain piping.
Description: On March 2, 2007, the licensee identified a small through wall leak on the
Unit 3 HPCI inlet drain pot drain line. The licensee isolated the HPCI system to isolate
the steam leak making HPCI inoperable. The licensee replaced the leaking pipe and
declared the system operable on March 3, 2007.
The leaking pipe was made of carbon steel. In 1997, the licensee generated a work
order (WO) to replace the carbon steel piping with A-355 P-11 chrome-moly piping. The
carbon steel piping was susceptible to flow accelerated corrosion (FAC). To facilitate
the piping replacement, engineering created drawing M-4455, sheets 1 and 2, to provide
a clear scope of work. The WO was closed out without the carbon steel piping being
replaced. Documentation was insufficient to determine why the WO was closed without
replacing the piping. Major revision 12 made on April 25, 1997, removed 9 field welds
from the scope of work, per outage support center direction, without further
explanation. The scope changes were also not reflected in drawing M-4455. In addition,
drawing M-374 was updated with Note 6, which stated, the piping and pipe fittings are
replaced with chrome-moly per Alternate Pipe Replacement Evaluation D-1996-15-1.
Note 6 was incorrect, in that, portions of the carbon steel piping had not been replaced.
The HPCI inlet drain pot drain piping was removed from the FAC inspection program
based on the assumption that the piping was no longer carbon steel.
Analysis: The inspectors concluded that the failure to adequately maintain the design
basis was a performance deficiency that affected the Mitigating Systems cornerstone.
Using IMC 0612, Appendix B, Issue Screening, dated November 2, 2006, the
inspectors determined that this finding was greater than minor because the performance
deficiency impacted the Mitigating Systems cornerstone objective in that the failure to
implement the planned modification affected the cornerstone objective to ensure the
availability, reliability, and capability of systems that respond to initiating events. The
inspectors used IMC 0609, Appendix A, Determining the Significance of Reactor
Inspection Findings for At-Power Situations, dated March 23, 2007. The inspectors
determined the finding to be of very low safety significance (Green). The finding was
determined to be under the Mitigating System cornerstone. The inspectors answered
23
Enclosure
question 2 in the Mitigating System cornerstone column yes, there was an actual loss of
safety function and went to Phase 2. The inspectors reviewed a pre-solved plant
specific worksheet for the Phase 2 analysis for HPCI being unavailable for less than
three days and the result was Green. The finding was determined not to have a
cross cutting aspect because it was greater than two years old and not reflective of
current performance.
Enforcement: 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion III, states, in part, design changes,
including field changes, shall be subject to design control measures commensurate with
those applied to the original design and be approved by the organization that performed
the original design unless the applicant designates another responsible organization.
Contrary to the above, from April 1997 until March 2007, the Unit 3 High Pressure
Coolant Injection system inlet drain pot drain piping was not replaced with chrome-moly
piping as scheduled under the Flow Accelerated Corrosion Piping Program and the
change in work scope was not approved by the organization that performed the original
design change. The documentation associated with the piping replacement failed to
identify that not all of the original planned work scope had been completed. Specifically,
Major Revision 12 to Work Order 960034237 made on April 25, 1997, removed nine field
welds from the work order per Outage Support Center direction. The Outage Support
Center was not the organization that performed the original design change. Because
this violation was of very low safety significance and it was entered into the licensees
corrective action program, this violation is being treated as a Non-Cited Violation,
consistent with Section VI.A.1 or the NRC Enforcement Policy. The corrective actions
included repair of the HPCI drain pot drain line leak with the appropriate piping. Unit 2
and 3 HPCI system carbon steel piping susceptible to flow accelerated corrosion was
identified and evaluated for acceptance of the degraded condition until replacement. In
addition, the licensee stated that the work control process has been improved
since 1997 to require more detailed information upon document close out.

for reviewing and understanding the logs, checklist and turnover sheets applicable to
their shift position before assuming the shift, Section 3.2 requires that, the off-going
operator shall not leave his/her work area until he/she is satisfied that his/her relief is
fully aware of existing conditions, and Section 4.1.3 requires shift personnel to,
VERIFY important operating parameters, especially those relating to safety systems, as
identified on the turnover sheet prior to assuming the shift. Additionally, Operator
Aid #159, Nuclear Station Operator Turnover Checklist, further outlines the
requirements of the operating procedures, including for example, the on-coming NSO
must read the control room logs, tour main control panels, tour main control room back
and common panels, and discuss system status with the off-going operator.
Shift turnover provides power plant operators with the appropriate level of knowledge of
plant conditions and system configurations to allow safe operation of the reactor core
and support systems. Operators are required to react to postulated accident scenarios
in order to help mitigate predicted consequences. Insufficient knowledge of plant status
increases the likelihood that an operator could perform an error of commission/omission
which could magnify the consequences resulting from postulated accident scenarios or
potentially introduces additional initiating events through incorrect equipment
manipulations. At the time of this event, Unit 2 was in an elevated risk profile (yellow)
due to various plant components. This increased risk profile amplified the importance of
knowing and understanding plant conditions. Therefore, inadequate shift turnovers
unnecessarily increase the risk to public health and safety.
The inspectors supported by the regional staff determined that the licensed operators
knew the requirements to be followed during shift turnover at the NSO work station
based upon their extensive work experience and the testimonies given during the
licensees fact finding investigation. The OI investigation report concluded that the
operators deliberately failed to perform shift turnover and relief procedure requirements.
Failure to follow these requirements was a willful act promoted by the on-coming
operator arriving late in the control room.
Analysis: The inspectors and the regional office staff concluded that there was no
Significance Determination Process finding associated with this case. Because this
performance deficiency involved a willful act, this issue was dispositioned using the
traditional enforcement process instead of the Significance Determination Process. The
violation of TS 5.4.1 was categorized in accordance with the NRC Enforcement Policy.
The failure to follow the shift turnover procedure, absent willfulness, had no actual safety
consequences, and constitutes a minor violation. Considering willfulness on part of the
operators, a Severity Level IV violation is warranted. The violation is being cited
because it was willful and was identified by the NRC.
Enforcement: Dresden Nuclear Power Station, Unit 2, Technical Specification (TS) 5.4.1
states, in part, that written procedures shall be established, implemented, and
maintained covering the applicable procedures recommended in Regulatory Guide 1.33,
Revision 2, Appendix A, dated February 1978. Regulatory Guide 1.33, (1)(g) states that
a typical safety-related activity that should be covered by written procedures is shift and
relief turnover. Dresden Nuclear Power Station uses operating procedure OP-AA-112101, Shift Turnover and Relief, and Operator Aid #159, Nuclear Station Operator
(NSO) Turnover Checklist, to meet TS 5.4.1 at the NSO position.
26
Enclosure
Operating procedure OP-AA-112-101, Section 3.1, requires that, all shift personnel are
responsible for reviewing and understanding the logs, checklist and turnover sheets
applicable to their shift position before assuming the shift. Section 3.2 requires that,
the off-going operator shall not leave his/her work area until he/she is satisfied that
his/her relief is fully aware of existing conditions. Section 4.1.3 requires shift personnel
to, VERIFY important operating parameters, especially those relating to safety systems,
as identified on the turnover sheet prior to assuming the shift...
Operator Aid #159 requires the on-coming NSO to perform the following before relieving
shift:
READ control room logs from last date on-shift or previous four days, whichever
is less.
DISCUSS with off-going NSO all items on unit and common turnover sheets, shift
and daily surveillances, and any other pertinent information.
TOUR main control panels and DISCUSS:
Status of safety related systems,
Running equipment and safety train alignments,
Inoperable equipment, including instrumentation,
LCORAs [limiting condition for operation required action],
including surveillance requirements,
Reasons for annunciator alarms,
C/O [clearance order] and surveillance work in progress, and
Abnormal events over past 24 hours.
TOUR main control room back panels.
TOUR main control room common panels.
Contrary to the above, on January 16, 2007, two NSOs failed to perform a proper shift
turnover and relief at Dresden Unit 2 when the operators did not comply with operating
procedure OP-AA-112-101 and Operator Aid # 159. Specifically, the on-coming
operator did not read the control room logs for the last date on-shift, did not tour the
main control room back panels, and did not tour the main control room common panels.
The on-coming and off-going operators did not tour the main control panels, and did not
discuss all the information regarding unit status. The off-going operator left the work
area without the on-coming operator being fully aware of existing conditions.
A Notice of Violation (NOV) was issued (VIO 05000237/2007004-03). See Enclosure 1
of this Inspection Report. The NRC has concluded that information regarding the reason
for the violation, the corrective actions taken and planned to correct the violation and
prevent recurrence and the date when full compliance was achieved is already
adequately addressed in this report and this violation is closed.
