SUBJECT:
NOTIFICATION OF SUMMER NUCLEAR STATION - TEMPORARY
INSTRUCTION 2515/158, FUNCTIONAL REVIEW OF LOW MARGIN/RISK
SIGNIFICANT COMPONENTS AND HUMAN ACTIONS - NRC INSPECTION
REPORT 05000395/2004009,
Dear Mr. Byrne:
The purpose of this letter is to notify you that the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC)
Region II staff will conduct an inspection using Temporary Instruction 2515/158, Functional
Review of Low Margin/Risk Significant Components and Human Actions at your Virgil C.
Summer Nuclear Station. A team of seven inspectors will perform this inspection. The
inspection team will be led by Mr. Jim Moorman, a Senior Reactor Inspector from the NRC
Region II Office. This inspection will take the place of the biennial inspection conducted in
accordance with baseline inspection program Attachment 71111.21, Safety System Design
and Performance Capability.
During a telephone conversation on August 24, 2004, Mr. Moorman of my staff, and
Mr. Rob Sweet of your staff, confirmed arrangements for an information gathering site visit and
the three-week onsite inspection. The schedule is as follows:
Information gathering visit: Week of October 4, 2004
Onsite weeks: October 25, 2004; November 1, 2004; and November 15, 2004
The purpose of the information gathering visit is to meet with members of your staff to identify
risk-significant components and operator actions. Information and documentation needed to
support the inspection will also be identified. Mr. Walter Rogers, a Region II Senior Reactor
Analyst, may accompany Mr. Moorman during the information gathering visit to review
probabilistic risk assessment data and identify risk significant components which will be
examined during the inspection. The inspectors will try to minimize your administrative burden
by specifically identifying only those documents required for inspection preparation.
During the information gathering visit, the team leader will also discuss the following inspection
support administrative details: office space; specific documents requested to be made
available to the team in their office space; arrangements for site access; and the availability of
knowledgeable plant engineering and licensing personnel to serve as points of contact during
the inspection.
