SITE-SPECIFIC WORKSHEETS FOR USE IN THE NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSIONS SIGNIFICANCE DETERMINATION PROCESS (TAC NO. MA6544)
Dear Mr. Morey:
Enclosed please find the Risk-Informed Inspection Notebook for the Joseph M. Farley Nuclear Plant, Units 1 and 2. This notebook incorporates the updated Significance Determination Process (SDP) Phase 2 Worksheets that inspectors will be using to characterize and risk-inform inspection findings. This document is one of the key implementation tools of the reactor safety SDP in the reactor oversight process.
Our pilot plant review effort clearly indicated that significant site-specific design and risk information was not captured in the Phase 2 worksheets forwarded to you last spring.
Subsequently a site visit was conducted by the NRC to verify and update plant equipment configuration data and to collect site-specific risk information from your staff. The Phase 2 Worksheets have incorporated much of the information we obtained during our site visits. The staff encourages further licensee comments where it is identified that the Worksheets give inaccurately low significance determinations. Any comments should be provided to the Document Control Desk, with a copy to the Chief, Probabilistic Safety Assessment Branch, Nuclear Reactor Regulation.
While the Phase 2 Worksheets have been verified by our staff to include the site specific data we will continue to assess its accuracy throughout implementation and update the document based on comments by our inspectors and your staff.
We will coordinate our efforts through your licensing or risk organizations, as appropriate. If you have any questions, please contact me at 301-415-1447.
Sincerely,
/RA/
