Quad Cities Nuclear Power Station Unit 2 (Quad Cities Unit 2) - Steam Dryer Indications

On March 8, 2004, NRC staff held a conference call with Exelon to discuss indications found in

the Quad Cities Unit 2 steam dryer during the current refueling outage. The licensee has

determined that inadequate design, analysis, and installation of the previous repairs led to

some of the indications. The licensee believes that the increased efforts to understand

extended power uprate (EPU) vulnerabilities since failure of the Quad Cities Unit 1 dryer in

November 2003, including improved modeling, testing, and review by an expert independent

review team will result in a solution to recurring steam dryer degradation. The licensee stated

that both Quad Cities units will remain at pre-EPU power levels until test data taken after return

to service is evaluated.

Acceptability of Browns Ferry License Renewal Application for Review

On March 4, 2004, the staff determined that the license renewal application for Browns Ferry

Units 1, 2 and 3 was sufficient and acceptable for the staff to begin its review. The application

was received on January 6, 2004. On February 19, 2004, the applicant submitted supplemental

information required for the staff to complete the sufficiency review. The staff’s review of the

application will be based on the current licensing basis for Units 1, 2 and 3 with the commitment

in the application that Unit 1 will be essentially the same as Units 2 and 3 prior to restart. 

Although an operating license is maintained, Unit 1 has been shutdown since 1985. In the

application for the license renewal, the applicant also indicated their intent to submit a licensing

amendment request for extended power uprate for the three units later this year while the staff’s

review of the license renewal application is ongoing. 

The staff is developing the license renewal review schedule to accommodate the additional

reviews that will be needed for the evaluation of Unit 1 lay up, coordination of the Unit 1 restart

items, and Units 1, 2 and 3 power uprate evaluations. Because of the complexity of the

application, the applicant has agreed to a review schedule that would exceed the standard

schedule (22 months without a hearing or 30 months with a hearing). 

Palo Verde Steam Generator Tube Leakage

NRR staff supported Region IV’s special inspection at Palo Verde Unit 2, which was conducted

from February 25 to March 3, 2004. This special inspection was chartered because of the

increased risk associated with an extended period that the plant was in a reduced inventory

condition and the unexpected system interactions occurring in the shutdown cooling system

during this period. The special inspection also included the assessment of the steam generator

tube leakage which was the reason for the plant shutdown.

The licensee had replaced the Unit 2 steam generators in December 2003 and experienced

consistent levels of leakage, on the order of 0.5 gallons per day since plant start-up. The plant

shutdown after the leak rate increased to levels of 2-4 gallons per day plant. A leaking 
March 12, 2004 ENCLOSURE A

peripheral tube in one steam generator was identified and plugged. In addition, the licensee

performed inspection and testing to provide reasonable assurance of steam generator integrity

prior to plant startup. Currently, the licensee is in the process of completing their root cause

investigation. They are investigating the possibility that the tube may have been damaged by a

screw during crating at the tube mill. The NRC staff will pursue the generic implications

associated with this experience when the licensee’s root cause analysis is completed.

Public Meeting Regarding Grid Reliability Issues

On March 4, 2004, representatives from NRR and RES met with licensee and industry

representatives in a Category 2 public meeting to discuss grid reliability issues at the Double

Tree Hotel in Rockville, Maryland. The purpose of the meeting was to have licensee and

industry representatives provide information as to what effect recent concerns with grid

reliability have had on the operation of nuclear power plants, especially those plants affected by

the August 14, 2003, Northeast U.S. power outage.

The NRC staff discussed recent preliminary findings on this matter. The Electric Power

Research Institute (EPRI) delivered a presentation on Loss of Offsite Power (LOOP) Events

and Industry Experience. Licensee representatives did not report taking any particular actions

since the August 14, 2003, power outage. The Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI) stated that

communication between independent system operators should be improved and that the

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission should create and enforce reliability standards. The

staff discussed issues, including: requests for data on LOOP events and emergency diesel

generator (EDG) reliability and how they compare to the values assumed in the Station

Blackout analysis; if grid conditions are considered when planning EDG online maintenance,

what communication protocols exist between the plants and the transmission system operators;

and if transmission voltage regulating equipment are included in the determination of offsite

power operability. At the conclusion of the meeting, the staff noted that some questions had

been addressed generally, but that some remained unanswered. The staff reminded the

licensee and industry representatives that even though the operation of the power grid is

outside their jurisdiction, plant risk associated with grid reliability is a licensee responsibility. 

Fast Breaker Meetings

On March 9, 2004, the staff held a meeting to discuss the NEI’s white paper "Evaluation of

Accident Scenario Timing for Emergency Planning of Fast-Breaking Events." Essentially, the

white paper examines the technical basis for the Commission's fast-breaker-related regulations. 

Representatives from Office of General Counsel, RES, Office of Nuclear Security and Incident

Response, and NRR were in attendance and discussed the technical merits of the white paper. 

Staff recommendations will be discussed at a management-level meeting on the policy

implications of the white paper, scheduled for March 17, 2004.

On March 9-10, 2004, staff from the Division of Waste Management and the Center for Nuclear

Waste Regulatory Analyses (hereafter, the Center) attended the U.S. Nuclear Waste Technical

Review Board Panel Meeting on the Natural System, in Las Vegas, Nevada. The panel

discussed issues related to the proposed high-level waste repository at Yucca Mountain in

Nevada, particularly how components of the natural geologic system would work together to

isolate radioactive waste. On the first day, discussions focused on unsaturated zone fluid flow

and radionuclide transport; the second day was devoted to issues related to the saturated zone

and included a presentation by the Center staff on the groundwater flow system of the Yucca

Mountain area.

NMSS Staff Meeting with Connecticut Yankee on Decommissioning

On March 9, 2004, staff from the Connecticut Yankee Atomic Power Company (CYAPCO)

met with NRC staff in Rockville, Maryland. CYAPCO staff presented information on: the

decommissioning status; recent groundwater monitoring results; site characterization results

and plans; upcoming groundwater monitoring activities; the biennial License Termination Plan

(LTP) update; and potential LTP amendments. CYAPCO informed the staff that it has modified

the approach to decommissioning in that all buildings will be removed to 4 feet below grade. 

CYAPCO will submit three hydrogeologic reports to NRC in the future to document the ongoing

groundwater monitoring activities. Additionally, CYAPCO is considering proposed revisions to

the LTP, to reevaluate volumetric concrete-derived concentration guidelines, and reactor

in-core sump concrete activation. Regional staff, Environmental Protection Agency

Headquarters staff, and Connecticut Department of Environmental Protection staff also

participated via telephone bridge line.

Scoping Meeting on Proposed Louisiana Energy Services Enrichment Plant

On March 4, 2004, staff from the Divisions of Waste Management and Fuel Cycle Safety and

Safeguards, and Offices of the General Counsel and Public Affairs, held a scoping meeting in

Eunice, New Mexico, to discuss NRC’s role and responsibilities, the safety review process, and

the environmental review process applicable to the Louisiana Energy Services proposed gas

centrifuge enrichment plant project. Approximately 250 individuals attended the meeting,

including local officials and members of the Nuclear Information and Resource Service. The

staff presentations were followed by a short question and answer period from the public. 

Members of the public and local elected officials indicated strong support for the project. 

Scoping comments focused on impacts on water resources, transportation, property value, and

waste management.

Enrichment Plant

During the week of March 1-4, 2004, staff from the Division of Waste Management held

environmental justice scoping meetings with members of the Hispanic and African American

communities in Carlsbad and Hobbs, New Mexico, to discuss the Louisiana Energy Services

proposed gas centrifuge enrichment plant project. Representing a variety of viewpoints, the

group included a policeman, small business owner, County commissioners, a staff member

from a local college, plus others with various political and community interests. In general, the

group was in favor of the enrichment project primarily because of economic opportunities. 

Their primary concerns were related to waste management, water use, and transportation

issues.

Waste Management Conference

During February 29 - March 4, 2004, a staff management representative from the Spent Fuel

Project Office (SFPO) participated in the Waste Management 04 (WM04) conference in

Tucson, Arizona. This conference is the largest international gathering to address a broad

spectrum of radioactive waste issues, drawing over 2000 participants from industry and

government. The theme for WM04 was “Global Accomplishments in Environmental and

Radioactive Waste Management: Cost Effectiveness, Risk Reduction, and Technology

Implementation.” There were a number of important panel discussions and presentations

addressing transportation of spent nuclear fuel, and there was a great deal of interest the

Department of Energy’s transportation strategy for Yucca Mountain.

Completion of Decontamination and Examination Activities on Discarded North Anna Unit 2

Reactor Vessel Head Nozzles

The initial phases of the NRC/industry collaboration on the decontamination and nondestructive examinations of nozzles removed from the discarded North Anna Unit 2 (NA2)

reactor vessel head have just been completed. The nozzles were removed in July 2003 and

shipped to Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL). After an extensive effort at PNNL to

decontaminate the nozzles, four industry teams completed non-destructive examinations using

a combination of classical and innovative examination techniques. A report on those findings

will be presented to the NRC, probably in the late summer time frame. Additionally, another

industry-sponsored team obtained dimensionally accurate castings of the shape and surface

structure of the Control Rod Drive Mechanism (CRDM) tube internal diameter to enhance

knowledge about residual stress distribution in the nozzle. Beginning in mid-summer, NRC will

commence a program at PNNL to complete both non-destructive and destructive examinations

of one or two of the NA2 nozzles, while the industry engages in destructive examinations of two

other nozzles.

Seismic Audit for North Anna Early Site Permit Application

On March 2-3, 2004, two RES staff members supported NRR’s Seismic Audit for the North

Anna Early Site Permit (ESP). This was the first seismic audit since the last commercial

nuclear power plant was built more than 20 years ago. The ESP application was submitted by

Dominion Power to expand its current facilities at North Anna by adding Units 3 and 4. 

Dominion Power and its contractors presented their findings in seismic and geologic

background and the methodology used in calculating a Probabilistic Seismic Hazard Analysis. 

There were extensive discussions on the performance-based method used by the applicant to

obtain ground motion spectrum. On March 4, the applicant demonstrated the geotechnical

work done for the ESP and potential neotectonic activities at and near the North Anna plant

site.
