Dear Mr. Coffey:
On May 20, 2022, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed a problem identification and resolution inspection at your St Lucie Units 1 & 2 and discussed the results of this inspection with Mr. Daniel DeBoer, Site Vice President and other members of your staff.
The results of this inspection are documented in the enclosed report.
The NRC inspection team reviewed the stations problem identification and resolution program and the stations implementation of the program to evaluate its effectiveness in identifying, prioritizing, evaluating, and correcting problems, and to confirm that the station was complying with NRC regulations and licensee standards for problem identification and resolution programs.
Based on the samples reviewed, the team determined that your staffs performance in each of these areas adequately supported nuclear safety.
The team also evaluated the stations processes for use of industry and NRC operating experience information and the effectiveness of the stations audits and self-assessments.
Based on the samples reviewed, the team determined that your staffs performance in each of these areas adequately supported nuclear safety.
Finally, the team reviewed the stations programs to establish and maintain a safety-conscious work environment, and interviewed station personnel to evaluate the effectiveness of these programs. Based on the teams observations and the results of these interviews the team found no evidence of challenges to your organizations safety-conscious work environment.
Your employees appeared willing to raise nuclear safety concerns through at least one of the several means available.
No findings or violations of more than minor significance were identified during this inspection.
This letter, its enclosure, and your response (if any) will be made available for public inspection and copying at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html and at the NRC Public Document June 29, 2022 Room in accordance with Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations 2.390, Public Inspections, Exemptions, Requests for Withholding.

SUMMARY
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) continued monitoring the licensees performance by conducting a biennial problem identification and resolution inspection at St Lucie Units 1 & 2, in accordance with the Reactor Oversight Process. The Reactor Oversight Process is the NRCs program for overseeing the safe operation of commercial nuclear power reactors. Refer to https://www.nrc.gov/reactors/operating/oversight.html for more information.
List of Findings and Violations
No findings or violations of more than minor significance were identified.
Additional Tracking Items
None.
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.
OTHER ACTIVITIES - BASELINE
71152B - Problem Identification and Resolution Biennial Team Inspection (IP Section 03.04)
- (1) The inspectors performed a biennial assessment of the effectiveness of the licensees Problem Identification and Resolution program, use of operating experience, self-assessments and audits, and safety conscious work environment.
Problem Identification and Resolution Effectiveness: The inspectors assessed the effectiveness of the licensees Problem Identification and Resolution program in identifying, prioritizing, evaluating, and correcting problems. The inspectors also conducted a five-year review of the auxiliary feedwater and 125-volt direct current systems. In addition, the inspectors performed a high-level review of the licensees corrective action program related to any aging issues, general corrosion and erosion and environmental qualifications with specific attention given to circuit boards, relays and power supplies.
Operating Experience: The inspectors assessed the effectiveness of the licensees processes for use of operating experience.
Self-Assessments and Audits: The inspectors assessed the effectiveness of the licensees identification and correction of problems identified through audits and self-assessments.
Safety Conscious Work Environment: The inspectors assessed the effectiveness of the stations programs to establish and maintain a safety-conscious work environment.
INSPECTION RESULTS
Assessment 71152B The inspectors reviewed the effectiveness of the licensees Corrective Action Program (CAP). Specifically, as it related to the ability of the CAP to adequately perform the functions of problem identification, prioritization and evaluation of any issues identified and the subsequent related corrective actions.
This included a review of procedure, PI-AA-104-1000, Condition Reporting and other relevant procedures, and associated CAP documents, (i.e., cause evaluation, and operability determination process).
Inspectors performed in-depth reviews of past and current CAP actions for specific systems (i.e. station batteries and auxiliary feedwater and compared those to the current general condition and overall system health.
Inspectors performed a risk-informed sampling review of root cause and other lower-level cause evaluations. Inspectors also reviewed corrective actions associated with prior NRC violations, findings and observations.
During the inspection period, inspectors observed multiple CAP meetings and licensee staff interactions related to the application of the CAP process. Additionally, inspectors conducted multiple interviews with licensee staff specifically related to corrective actions for the systems selected for in-depth reviews.
The inspectors concluded, that in general: the licensees CAP was effective in identifying problems and entering them in the CAP, and in prioritizing and evaluating those problems commensurate with the safety significance; that site management and staff were actively involved in managing and maintaining the CAP and in fully resolving any identified problems, and; that the licensees CAP complied with the regulatory requirements and self-imposed standards and therefore adequately supported nuclear safety.
Assessment 71152B The inspectors reviewed the licensee's program for obtaining and using operating experience.
This included a review of procedure, PI-AA-102, Operating Experience Program and other relevant procedures, and associated CAP documents. This review included select in-depth reviews from the licensees list of all NRC generic communications (e.g., Information Notices, Generic Letters, etc.) and industry operating experience (OE) documents (e.g., Part 21 reports, vendor information letters, information from other sites, etc.).
The inspectors concluded that the licensees processes for the use of NRC and industry operating experience information were generally effective and complied with all regulatory requirements and licensee standards.
Assessment 71152B Inspectors reviewed the licensees self-assessments and audits programs.
This included a review of procedure, PI-AA-101, Assessment and Improvement Programs and other relevant procedures and licensee documents.
The inspectors concluded that the licensee was generally effective at performing a significant number of relatively critical self-assessments and audits. In addition, the licensee generally evaluated those issues at the appropriate level and prioritized and resolved them commensurate with their safety significance.
Assessment 71152B The inspectors reviewed the licensees safety conscious work environment (SCWE). This included a review of Nuclear Safety Culture Site Leadership Team meeting minutes, procedure, AD-AA-103, Nuclear Safety Culture Program and other relevant procedures and licensee documents.
The inspectors performed interviews with a reasonable sample size and cross-section of St.
Lucie employees and contractors.
In general, the employees interviewed by the inspectors stated that they were willing to raise nuclear safety concerns to their management chain and were both willing and familiar with the multiple means available to enter problems into the CAP.
Inspectors also reviewed the licensees internal programs to monitor the safety culture, which included CAP trending, the employee concerns program (ECP), and relevant survey results.
Inspectors concluded that, in general, the licensee appears to have established an adequate safety conscious work environment.
EXIT MEETINGS AND DEBRIEFS
The inspectors verified no proprietary information was retained or documented in this report.
On May 20, 2022, the inspectors presented the biennial problem identification and resolution inspection results to Mr. Daniel DeBoer, Site Vice President, and other members of the licensee staff.
