Inspection Report Preparation: Completed inputs should be provided to the lead inspector 2 weeks following the teams onsite debrief. A draft report to be completed for management review approximately 3-weeks following onsite debrief.
III Inspection Procedures Inspection procedure 95002 will be used for the supplemental effort related to the two White performance issues. The independent extent of condition evaluation and restart readiness efforts will employ a variety of inspection procedures and other relevant guidance depending upon the specific program areas being reviewed. Specific focused area inspection procedures to be used are as follows:
IP 71841, Supplemental Inspection for Human Performance IP 83502.03, Radiological Environmental Monitoring and Radioactive Material Control Programs IP 83723, Training and Qualifications - General Employee Training, Radiation Safety, Chemistry and Radwaste
IP 83725, Internal Exposure Control and Assessment IP 83728, ALARA In addition, appropriate aspects of IP 95003, Inspection for Repetitive Degraded Cornerstones, Multiple Yellow Inputs, or One Red Input, will be utilized.
IV Inspection Requirements The supplemental inspection will assess the adequacy of the licensees evaluation for the two White performance issues, the licensees extent of condition evaluation and associated corrective actions. An independent extent of condition evaluation will also be conducted by the inspectors for the two White performance issues, consistent with IP 95002.
During the second week of the onsite inspection effort, the team will review areas of the licensees RP program selected from the Restart Action Matrix that relate to areas found deficient during two special team inspections conducted in 2002, as documented in Report No. 50-346/02-06 and No. 50-346/02-16. The depth and breadth of these efforts will be guided by the procedures listed in Section III above.
Specific inspection requirements for the two White performance issue will include:
1.
Verification that the licensee implemented a systematic approach in determining the root and contributing causes for the two White performance issues. In particular, determine if the licensee conducted its evaluation to a acceptable level of depth to identify the root causes(s) rather than symptoms. Also, determine if the licensee adequately considered prior operating experiences, results of self-assessments, audits and other aspects of its problem identification program in developing the root and contributing causes.
2.
Evaluation of the licensees assessment of the generic applicability of the root causes to other RP and plant programs/processes to determine if an adequate extent of condition evaluation was performed. For example, the issues identified as root or contributing causes may apply to other aspects of the licensees corrective action (problem identification) program. Did the licenses problem identification and resolution program identify problems or precursors related to the performance issues? If not, why?
3.
Verification that each root cause identified by the licensee is addressed by a corrective action, that each action is prioritized with respect to its risk significance, is assigned an owner and scheduled for completion, and that a formal means has been developed to assess the effectiveness of the actions to prevent recurrence.
Specific inspection requirements for the restart readiness evaluation will include:
Review of the licensees Phase 2 Radiation Protection Program Review, its overall scope and depth, and the adequacy of the associated corrective actions.
Evaluation of selected areas of the RP program to assess the licensees restart readiness, as provided by the focused area inspection procedures listed in Section III.
V Starfire and Inspection Hours Approximately 240 hours0.00278 days <br />0.0667 hours <br />3.968254e-4 weeks <br />9.132e-5 months <br /> of direct inspection effort is anticipated for the overall effort.
However, the inspection effort expended by the NRR representative (approximately 40 -
50 hours5.787037e-4 days <br />0.0139 hours <br />8.267196e-5 weeks <br />1.9025e-5 months <br />) will not be charged to the licensee as inspection time since the individual does not satisfy the inspector qualification requirements of MC 1245. Generally, individual inspection effort for RIII participants should be charged to IP 95002 with an IPE code of SEP for preparation effort, SP for inspection effort and SED for documentation.
VI Findings The safety significance of inspection findings will be determined through MC 0609.
Significance Determination Process.
VII Documentation The inspection report will be prepared in accordance with MC 0612, Power Reactor Inspection Reports.
