SUMMARY

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) continued monitoring licensees performance by conducting a quarterly baseline inspection at McGuire Nuclear Station Units 1 and 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. Findings and violations being considered in the NRCs assessment are summarized in the table below.

List of Findings and Violations No findings were identified.

Additional Tracking Items Type Issue number Title Report Section Status URI 05000369,05000370/2018011- Question about 71111.05XT Closed 01 treatment of well-sealed, robustly secured cabinets in the Fire PRA.

PLANT STATUS

Unit 1 began the inspection period at or near 100 percent rated thermal power RTP). On March 23, 2019, the unit was shutdown for a scheduled refueling outage and ended the inspection period in Mode 5.

Unit 2 operated at or near 100 percent RTP 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 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.

INSPECTION RESULTS

Minor Violation 71111.05XT Minor Violation: During the transition process to a new licensing basis under 10 CFR 50.48(c), the licensee failed to provide complete and accurate information in response to an NRC request for additional information. Specifically, the licensee did not justify the treatment of well-sealed and robustly secured cabinets in the Fire PRA.

Screening: The inspectors determined the performance deficiency was minor. The inspectors determined the issue to be a minor violation in accordance with the Enforcement Policy because it was determined to be less significant than a SL IV violation.

Enforcement:

This failure to comply with 10 CFR 50.9(a) constitutes a minor violation that is not subject to enforcement action in accordance with the NRCs Enforcement Policy.

Unresolved Item Question about treatment of well-sealed, robustly secured 71111.05XT (Closed) cabinets in the Fire PRA.

05000369,05000370/2018011-01

Description:

URI 2018-011-01 was reviewed by regional inspectors and discussed with staff from Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation. It was determined that the URI did represent a violation of requirements to provide an adequate response to the NRC during the transition phase to NFPA 805. While the licensee did provide a partial response, the concern raised in PRA RAI 19c was never fully addressed for all electrical cabinets that are below 440v and considered to be well-sealed and robustly secured. The inspectors determined that had the licensee fully responded to the concerned posed by the review team and fully evaluated the different methodology used, the NRC would have approved the methodology. Based on this, the inspectors screened the issue as a minor traditional enforcement violation because it did not meet any of the criteria for a SL IV or higher violation.

EXIT MEETINGS AND DEBRIEFS

The inspectors verified no proprietary information was retained or documented in this report.

  • On April 10, 2019, the inspector presented the inspection results to Mr. Thomas Ray, and other members of the licensee staff.
