1EP1 Exercise Evaluation (71114.01 - 1 Sample)
a. Inspection Scope
On June 14, 2016, FirstEnergy Nuclear Operating Company (FENOC) conducted a biennial Beaver Valley emergency preparedness exercise. The inspectors evaluated the adequacy of the licensees conduct of the exercise, the performance of the Beaver Valley emergency response organization (ERO) to respond to the simulated emergency, and FENOCs capability to assess their own staff performance via a formal critique process, as required by Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 50.47(b) (14).
This overall exercise inspection activity represented the completion of one sample on a biennial cycle.
The exercise evaluation consisted of the following review and assessment:
- The adequacy of FENOCs performance in the biennial full-participation exercise regarding the implementation of the risk-significant planning standards (RSPS)described in 10 CFR 50.47(b)(4), (5), (9), and (10), which are: emergency classification; offsite notification; radiological assessment; and protective action recommendations, respectively.
- The overall adequacy of FENOCs Beaver Valley emergency response facilities with regard to NUREG-0696, Functional Criteria for Emergency Response Facilities, and Emergency Plan commitments. The facilities assessed were the Control Room Simulator, Technical Support Center (TSC), and Emergency Operations Facility (EOF).
- A review of other performance areas, such as: the licensee emergency response organizations (EROs) recognition of abnormal plant conditions; command and control; intra- and inter-facility communications; prioritization of mitigating activities; utilization of repair and field monitoring teams; interface with offsite agencies; staffing and procedure adequacy; and the overall implementation of the emergency plan and its implementing procedures.
- A review of past performance issues from the last NRC Beaver Valley exercise inspection report and FENOCs EP drill reports, to determine the effectiveness of licensee corrective actions as demonstrated during the June 14, 2016, exercise and to ensure compliance with 10 CFR 50.47(b)(14).
- The licensees post-exercise critiques, to evaluate FENOCs self-assessment of its ERO performance during the June 14, 2016, exercise and to ensure compliance with 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix E, Section IV.F.2.g.

OTHER ACTIVITIES (OA)
4OA1 Performance Indicator (PI) Verification (71151 - 3 Samples)
a. Inspection Scope
The inspectors reviewed data for the Beaver Valley EP PIs, which are:
- (1) Drill and Exercise Performance (DEP);
- (2) ERO Drill Participation; and,
- (3) Alert and Notification System (ANS) Reliability. The last NRC EP inspection at Beaver Valley was conducted in the second calendar quarter of 2015, so the inspectors reviewed supporting documentation from EP drills, training records, and equipment tests from the second calendar quarter of 2015 through the first quarter of 2016, to verify the accuracy of the reported PI data. The review of these PIs was conducted in accordance with NRC Inspection Procedure 71151, using the acceptance criteria documented in NEI 99-02, Regulatory Assessment Performance Indicator Guidelines, Revision 6.
