PLANT STATUS

Unit 3 began the inspection period at or near rated thermal pow er. Unit 3 experienced a down-power to 73% power on August 5, 2021 when control rods automati cally stepped-in in response to #2 Turbine Control Valve going fully closed. Unit 3 was manu ally tripped on August 13, 2021 and entered a forced outage to repair #2 Turbine Control Valve. Unit 3 was returned to rated thermal power on August 17, 2021 following repair of the #2 Tur bine Control Valve and remained at that power level for the remainder of the inspectio n period.

Unit 4 operated at or near rated thermal power for the entire i nspection period.

INSPECTION SCOPES

Inspections were conducted using the appropriate portions of th e inspection procedures (IPs) in effect at the beginning of the inspection unless otherwise note d. Currently approved IPs with their attached revision histories are located on the public web site at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/doc-collections/insp-manual/inspection-procedure/index.html. Samples were declared complete when the IP requirements most appropriate to the inspe ction activity were met consistent with Inspection Manual Chapter (IMC) 2515, Light-Wa ter Reactor Inspection Program - Operations Phase. The inspectors reviewed selected p rocedures and records, observed activities, and interviewed personnel to assess licens ee performance and compliance with Commission rules and regulations, license conditions, site procedures, and standards.

Starting on March 20, 2020, in response to the National Emergen cy declared by the President of the United States on the public health risks of the coronavi rus (COVID-19), resident and regional inspectors were directed to begin telework and to remo tely access licensee information using available technology. During this time, the resident ins pectors performed periodic site visits each week, increasing the amount of time on-site as loca l COVID-19 conditions permitted.

As part of their on-site activities, resident inspectors conduc ted plant status activities as described in IMC 2515, Appendix D, Plant Status, and conducte d routine reviews using IP 71152, Problem Identification and Resolution, observed risk s ignificant activities; and completed on-site portions of IPs. In addition, resident and r egional baseline inspections were evaluated to determine if all or a portion of the objectives an d requirements stated in the IP could be performed remotely. If the inspections could be perfo rmed remotely, they were conducted per the applicable IP. In some cases, portions of an IP were completed remotely and on-site. The inspections documented below met the objectives a nd requirements for completion of the IP.
