PLANT STATUS
Unit 2 began the inspection period at rated thermal power (RTP) and remained at or near RTP
for the remainder of the 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 performed plant status activities described in
IMC 2515, Appendix D, Plant Status, and conducted routine reviews using IP 71152, Problem
Identification and Resolution. 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
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 and during that time conducted plant status activities as described in IMC 2515,
Appendix DProperty "Inspection Manual Chapter" (as page type) with input value "NRC Inspection Manual 2515,</br></br>Appendix D" contains invalid characters or is incomplete and therefore can cause unexpected results during a query or annotation process.; and observed risk significant activities when warranted. In addition, resident and
regional baseline inspections were evaluated to determine if all or 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 the cases where it was
determined the objectives and requirements could not be performed remotely, management
elected to postpone and reschedule the inspection to a later date.
