Additional Tracking Items

Type Issue Number Title Report Section Status NOV 05000250/2020011-01 Incomplete and Inaccurate 92702 Closed Information Associated with Auxiliary Feedwater Maintenance NOV 05000250,05000251/20 Failure to Report 92702 Closed 21011-01 Mispositioned Plant Component that Caused Charging Pump Trip NOV 05000250,05000251/20 Incomplete and Inaccurate 92702 Closed 21011-02 Information Associated with Charging Pump Maintenance

PLANT STATUS

Unit 3 began the inspection period at or near rated thermal power. Unit 3 experienced a down-power to 73% power on August 5, 2021 when control rods automatically stepped-in in response to #2 Turbine Control Valve going fully closed. Unit 3 was manually 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 Turbine Control Valve and remained at that power level for the remainder of the inspection period.

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

INSPECTION SCOPES

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

Starting on March 20, 2020, in response to the National Emergency declared by the President of the United States on the public health risks of the coronavirus (COVID-19), resident and regional inspectors were directed to begin telework and to remotely access licensee information using available technology. During this time, the resident inspectors performed periodic site visits each week, increasing the amount of time on-site as local COVID-19 conditions permitted.

As part of their on-site activities, resident inspectors conducted plant status activities as described in IMC 2515, Appendix D, Plant Status, and conducted routine reviews using IP

===71152, Problem Identification and Resolution, observed risk significant activities; and completed on-site portions of IPs. In addition, resident and regional baseline inspections were evaluated to determine if all or a portion of the objectives and requirements stated in the IP could be performed remotely. If the inspections could be performed remotely, they were conducted per the applicable IP. In some cases, portions of an IP were completed remotely and on-site. The inspections documented below met the objectives and requirements for completion of the IP.
