SUBJECT:

VOGTLE ELECTRIC GENERATING PLANT - NRC EMERGENCY

PREPAREDNESS INSPECTION REPORT NO. 5000424/2006009 AND

5000425/2006009; PRELIMINARY WHITE FINDING

Dear Mr. Grissette:

On March 24, 2006, the U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed an inspection

at your Vogtle Electric Generating Plant (VEGP), Units 1 and 2. The enclosed report

documents the inspection results, which were discussed on June 5, 2006, with you and other

members of your staff.

The inspection examined activities conducted under your license as they relate to safety and

compliance with the Commissions rules and regulations and with the conditions of your license.

The inspectors reviewed selected procedures and records, observed activities, and interviewed

personnel. The inspection also included a review of the circumstances involving the failure of

the Vogtle full-scale exercise critique to identify a weakness associated with a risk-significant

planning standard (RSPS) that was determined to be a Drill/Exercise Performance (DEP)

Performance Indicator (PI) opportunity failure.

Based on the NRCs review of this issue, the failure of the licensees full-scale exercise critique

to identify a weakness associated with an RSPS that was determined to be a DEP PI

opportunity failure is a performance deficiency and an apparent violation associated with

emergency preparedness planning standards 10 CFR 50.47(b)(14) and 10 CFR 50.54(b)(4)

and the requirements of Section IV.F.2.g of Appendix E to 10 CFR Part 50.

This finding was assessed using the applicable Emergency Preparedness Significance

Determination Process (SDP) and was preliminarily determined to be of low-to-moderate safety

significance (White) because the planning standard (PS) function was lost in that the critique

failed to identify a DEP PI opportunity failure during a full-scale exercise, where there are

multiple emergency response facilities (ERFs) participating and a team of evaluators as

discussed in NRC Manual Chapter 0609, Appendix B, Section 4.14. Additional details

associated with this determination are discussed in Section 1EP1 of the enclosed inspection

report.

Before we make a final decision on this matter, we are providing you an opportunity to:

(1) present to the NRC your perspectives on the facts and assumptions used by the NRC to

arrive at the finding and its significance, at a Regulatory Conference, or (2) submit your position

on the finding to the NRC in writing. If you request a Regulatory Conference, it should be held

within 30 days of the receipt of this letter and we encourage you to submit supporting

documentation at least one week prior to the conference in an effort to make the conference

more efficient and effective. If a Regulatory Conference is held, it will be open for public

observation. The NRC will also issue a press release to announce the conference. If you

decide to submit only a written response, such submittal should be sent to the NRC within

30 days of the receipt of this letter.

Please contact Mr. Brian Bonser at (404) 562-4653 within 10 business days of the date of your

receipt of this letter to notify the NRC of your intentions. If we have not heard from you within

10 days, we will continue with our significance determination decision and you will be advised

by separate correspondence of the results of our deliberations on this matter.

Since this finding is an apparent violation of NRC requirements, escalated enforcement action

is being considered in accordance with the NRC Enforcement Policy. The current Enforcement

Policy is included on the NRCs Web site at www.nrc.gov; select What We Do, Enforcement,

then Enforcement Policy.

Since the NRC has not made a final determination in this matter, no Notice of Violation is being

issued for this inspection finding at this time. In addition, please be advised that the number

and characterization of apparent violations described in the enclosed inspection report may

change as a result of further NRC review.

In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 of the NRCs Rules of Practice, a copy of this letter, its

enclosures, and your response (if any) will be available electronically for public inspection in the

NRC Public Document Room or from the Publicly Available Records (PARS) component of

theNRCs document system (ADAMS). ADAMS is accessible from the NRC Web site at

SUMMARY OF FINDINGS

IR 05000424/2006009, 05000425/2006009; 03/20-24/2006; Vogtle Electric Generating Plant,

Units 1 and 2; Exercise Evaluation

The report covered an announced inspection by a team of two emergency preparedness

inspectors and two resident inspectors. One apparent violation (AV) item, with potential safety

significance greater than Green, was identified. The significance of most findings is indicated

by their color (Green, White, Yellow, Red) using Inspection Manual Chapter (IMC) 0609,

Significance Determination Process (SDP). Findings for which the SDP does not apply may

be Green or be assigned a severity level after NRC management review. The NRCs program

for overseeing the safe operation of commercial nuclear power reactors is described in

NUREG-1649, Reactor Oversight Process, Revision 3, dated July 2000.

A.

NRC-Identified and Self-Revealing Findings

Cornerstone: Emergency Preparedness

TBD. The NRC identified an AV for failure of the licensees exercise critique process

to properly identify a weakness associated with a risk-significant planning standard

(RSPS) that was determined to be a Drill/Exercise Performance (DEP) Performance

Indicator (PI) opportunity failure during a full-scale exercise. The AV is associated

with emergency preparedness planning standards 10 CFR 50.47(b)(14) and 10 CFR

50.47(b)(4) and the requirements of Section IV.F.2.g of Appendix E to 10 CFR

Part 50. This finding was not entered into the licensees corrective action program.

The failure of the licensees exercise critique process was a performance deficiency.

This finding was greater than minor because it was associated with the Emergency

Preparedness Cornerstone and affected the cornerstone objective to ensure that the

licensee was capable of implementing adequate measures to protect the health and

safety of the public in the event of a radiological emergency. The finding was an

identified weakness that demonstrated a level of performance that could preclude

effective implementation of the Emergency Plan in an actual emergency. This

finding was also determined to potentially have greater significance because the

licensees exercise critique process failed to properly identify a weakness associated

with an RSPS that was determined to be a DEP PI opportunity failure during a full-

scale exercise (Section 1EP1).

REACTOR SAFETY

Cornerstone: Emergency Preparedness

1EP1 Exercise Evaluation

a. Inspection Scope

Prior to the inspection activity, the inspectors conducted an in-office review of the

exercise objectives and scenario submitted to the NRC to determine if the exercise

would test major elements of the emergency plan as required by 10 CFR 50.47(b)(14).

This inspection activity represents one sample on a biennial cycle.

The onsite inspection consisted of the following review and assessment:

The adequacy of the licensees performance in the biennial exercise conducted on

March 22, 2006, was reviewed and assessed regarding the implementation of the

risk-significant planning standards (RSPSs) in 10 CFR 50.47 (b) (4), (5), (9), and

(10), which address emergency classification, offsite notification, radiological

assessment, and protective action recommendations, respectively.

The overall adequacy of the licensees 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 (CRS), Technical Support Center (TSC), Operational Support Center

(OSC), and Emergency Operations Facility (EOF).

Other performance areas not addressed by the RSPSs, such as recognition by the

emergency response organization (ERO) of abnormal plant conditions, command

and control, intra- and inter-facility communications, prioritization of mitigation

activities, utilization of repair and field monitoring teams, interface with offsite

agencies, and the overall implementation of the emergency plan and its

implementing procedures.

Past performance issues from NRC inspection reports and Federal Emergency

Management Agency (FEMA) exercise reports to determine effectiveness of

corrective actions as demonstrated during this exercise to ensure compliance with

10 CFR 50.47(b)(14).

The post-exercise critique conducted on March 24, 2006, to evaluate the licensees

self-assessment of its ERO performance during the exercise and to ensure

compliance with Section IV.F.2.g of Appendix E to 10 CFR Part 50.

The inspectors reviewed various documents which are listed in the Attachment to this

report.

b. Findings

Introduction. The inspectors identified an apparent violation associated with emergency

preparedness planning standards 10 CFR 50.47(b)(14) and 10 CFR 50.47(b)(4) and the

requirements of Section IV.F.2.g of Appendix E to 10 CFR Part 50.

Description. The Emergency Preparedness Cornerstone licensee response band is

established by the PI scheme and the licensees corrective action program. Data for the

DEP and ERO PI values come from the drill and exercise critiques. The baseline

inspection program is based on accurate PI data that properly reflects licensee

performance. The DEP PI is based on the licensees ability to determine whether a PI

opportunity is successful. A single failure to identify a weakness associated with an

RSPS during a full-scale exercise is a high standard based on NRCs need to ensure

the efficacy of the licensees critique program. Thus, a licensees ability to observe,

evaluate, and critique a weakness associated with an RSPS is critical.

The inspectors identified a risk-significant performance deficiency involving a failure of

the licensees exercise critique process to identify a weakness associated with an RSPS

that was determined to be a DEP PI opportunity failure. The inspectors determined that

the licensees exercise critique did not identify a weakness that occurred during the

exercise on March 22, 2006. The weakness occurred when the Shift Manager (SM)

evaluated plant conditions as meeting the Emergency Action Level (EAL) criteria for a

Site Area Emergency (SAE) without verifying and validating that the subject criteria had

been met, resulting in an incorrect SAE emergency classification. The SM announced

his decision to declare a SAE based on:

(1) reactor coolant system (RCS) activity greater than 300 µCi/gram I-131 equivalent

(Loss of the Fuel Clad Barrier)

AND

(2) a non-isolable RCS leak in excess of the capacity of one charging pump in the

normal charging mode (Potential Loss of RCS Barrier).

The EALs contained other possible criteria for identifying a Potential Loss of RCS

Barrier: either Heat Sink CSFST [Critical Safety Function Status Tree] RED or RCS

Integrity CSFST RED, but neither of these conditions was present. Furthermore, the

Emergency Director Judgment criterion was not invoked with respect to the RCS

Barrier being Lost or Potentially Lost OR the inability to determine the status of the RCS

Barrier.

In the licensees emergency classification scheme, a Loss of ONE barrier AND a

Potential Loss of a SECOND barrier meets the criteria for an SAE. Loss of ONE

barrier was based on correct and validated information, and met the criterion for an

Alert declaration (an Alert had already been declared). The SM had indicated that a

Potential Loss of a SECOND barrier was met by having a NON-Isolable RCS leak

(including SG [Steam Generator] Tube Leakage) GREATER THAN the capacity of one

charging pump in normal charging mode. A non-isolable RCS leak had not occurred

5

before the SM made his declaration of the SAE. Immediately after the SM declared the

SAE and before the SAE notification was made, a licensee exercise controller

intervened to inform the SM that an RCS barrier failure had not occurred, that a safety

injection had not been required for RCS leak mitigation purposes, and that the exercise

would continue at the previously declared Alert classification level. The exercise

participants outside the CRS had not been informed of the SAE declaration.

The licensees critique determined that the SAE classification was appropriate and

correct given the plant conditions, and that the classification was a successful DEP PI

opportunity. The critique also stated that the SAE declaration was blocked by the

controller only to keep the exercise scenario on the designated time line in order to

avoid potential confusion for offsite responders.

At the exit meeting on March 24, 2006, the inspectors requested CRS data from the

exercise. Licensee management stated that the simulator data were not available

because they had not been saved at the conclusion of the exercise. The inspectors

then requested that the licensee perform three additional simulator runs under various

specified conditions using the same exercise scenario in order to provide more

information for the NRCs determination as to the validity of the SMs decision that SAE

criteria had been met. The requested additional information was provided to the NRC

on April 14, 2006. On April 18, 2006, a teleconference was held with licensee technical

staff and management in order to ask questions and to obtain clarification of certain

matters with respect to the submitted information.

Following the NRCs preliminary analysis of the additional information provided by the

licensee, a re-exit meeting was conducted by teleconference on May 8, 2006, in which

the licensee was informed that, pending further NRC staff review using the Significance

Determination Process, the subject issue would be classified as an Unresolved Item in a

separate inspection report to be issued within 30 days, and that the NRC would process

the issue as a potential greater than Green finding.

During a teleconference on June 2, 2006, the licensee discussed the sequence of

events and Emergency Operating Procedures (EOPs) which the crew utilized leading up

to the SMs classification of the SAE. It is understood that the EOPs are symptom-

based and provide direction to address those symptoms. Where the EOPs are

symptom-based, the licensees Emergency Plan EALs, written to NUMARC/NESP-007,

Methodology for Development of Emergency Action Levels, Revision 2, use a

combination of event-based, barrier-based, and symptom-based criteria. The licensee

stated that the SM used EOP 19000-C, E-0 Reactor Trip or Safety Injection, step 32, to

transition to EOP 19010-C, E-1 Loss of Reactor or Secondary Coolant, and declare the

SAE. There was no direction in EOP 19000 -C, step 32, to go to EOP 91001-C,

Emergency Classification and Implementing Instructions, and declare an SAE. The

licensee stated that the SM and the crew had not taken actions to verify that a non-

isolable RCS leak had occurred. The SM did not ensure that the potential loss of the

RCS barrier, indicated by a non-isolable RCS leak in excess of the capacity of one

charging pump in the normal charging mode, was in fact met.

6

The licensee stated that SM was required to make the classification decision before the

15-minute goal for timeliness of classifications, as stated in NEI 99-02, Rev. 3, had

expired. The licensee stated that approximately half of the 15 minutes had passed from

the time that the first condition, reactor coolant system (RCS) activity greater than

300 µCi/gram I-131 equivalent (Loss of the Fuel Clad Barrier), was met and that most of

the remaining time had elapsed in determining whether the second condition (potential

loss of the RCS barrier) was met for the SAE; therefore, the SM had only minutes to

make the decision that a SAE existed. Classification is expected to be made promptly

following indication that the conditions have reached an emergency threshold in

accordance with the licensees EAL scheme. With respect to classification of

emergencies, the 15-minute goal is a reasonable period of time for assessing and

classifying an emergency once indications are available to control room operators that

an EAL has been exceeded. The 15-minute classification time does not start until all

indications are available (i.e., both conditions for the SAE are met).

On June 3, 2006, NRC staff review was completed and a determination was made that

an AV had occurred. Licensee management was informed of this determination in a

teleconference on June 5, 2006.

Analysis. The licensees exercise critique process failure was a performance deficiency.

This finding was greater than minor because it affects the Emergency Preparedness

Cornerstone objective to ensure that the licensee is capable of implementing adequate

measures to protect the health and safety of the public in the event of a radiological

emergency.

The finding is an identified weakness that demonstrated a level of performance that

could preclude effective implementation of the Emergency Plan in an actual emergency.

This finding is also determined to potentially have greater significance because the

licensees exercise critique process failed to properly identify a weakness associated

with an RSPS that was determined to be a DEP PI opportunity failure during a full-scale

exercise.

The inspectors assessed the finding using the Emergency Preparedness Significance

Determination Process (Appendix B to IMC 0609) and preliminarily determined the

finding to be of low-to-moderate safety significance (White). A loss of PS function

occurred when the exercise critique process failed to identify a weakness associated

with an RSPS. Failure to critique the inaccurate classification is considered a loss of PS

function and a white finding. This is because the licensees capacity to observe and

evaluate the process associated with an RSPS is questionable. Appendix B to

IMC 0609, Sheet 1 (Failure to Comply) and Section 4.14 were used to reach this

preliminary determination.

Section IV.F.2.g of Appendix E to 10 CFR Part 50 requires licensees to identify and

correct weaknesses. The identification and correction of weaknesses is fundamentally

important to the EP Cornerstone Objective. A failure of a critique to identify a weakness

is a finding with a corresponding potential violation of 10 CFR 50.47(b)(14) and

Section IV.F.2.g of Appendix E to 10 CFR Part 50.

7

Enforcement. 10 CFR 50.47(b)(14) requires, in part, that periodic exercises be

conducted to evaluate major portions of emergency response capabilities and that

deficiencies identified as a result of exercises are corrected.

10 CFR 50.47(b)(4) requires, in part, that a standard emergency classification and

action level scheme, the bases of which include facility system and effluent parameters,

is in use by the nuclear facility licensee, and that State and local response plans call for

reliance on information provided by facility licensees for determinations of minimum

initial offsite response measures.

Section IV.F.2.g of Appendix E to 10 CFR Part 50 requires that all training, including

exercises, shall provide for formal critiques in order to identify weak or deficient areas

that need correction. Any weaknesses or deficiencies that are identified shall be

corrected.

Contrary to the above, during the critique of the March 22, 2006 exercise, the licensee

failed to identify a DEP PI opportunity failure, in that the licensee counted an incorrect

classification as an opportunity success. The incorrect classification should be

considered a missed opportunity or opportunity failure.

This finding is identified as Apparent Violation (AV) 50-424, 50-425/2006009-001,

Failure of Exercise Critique to identify an RSPS weakness as a DEP PI opportunity

Failure. This issue has not yet been entered into the licensee's corrective action system.

1EP4 Emergency Action Level (EAL) and Emergency Plan Changes

a.

Inspection Scope

The inspectors reviewed changes to the emergency plan, implementing procedures and

EALs to determine whether such changes had decreased the effectiveness of the plan.

The inspectors also evaluated the 10 CFR 50.54(q) reviews associated with non-

administrative emergency plan, implementing procedures and EAL changes. The

review included Revisions 41 and 42 to the Vogtle Emergency Plan.

The inspection was conducted in accordance with NRC Inspection Procedure 71114,

Attachment 04, Emergency Action Level and Emergency Plan Changes. The

applicable PS, 10 CFR 50.47(b)(4) and its related 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix E

requirements were used as reference criteria. The criteria contained in NUREG-0654,

Criteria for Preparation and Evaluation of Radiological Emergency Response Plans and

Preparedness in Support of Nuclear Power Plants, Revision 1, Regulatory Guide 1.101

were also used as references. This inspection activity represents one sample on an

annual basis.

The inspectors reviewed various documents which are listed in the Attachment to this

report.

OTHER ACTIVITIES

4OA1 Performance Indicator (PI) Verification

d.

Inspection Scope

The inspectors reviewed the licensees procedure for developing the data for the

Emergency Preparedness PIs, which are: (1) DEP; (2) ERO Drill Participation; and (3)

Alert and Notification System (ANS) Reliability. The inspectors examined data reported

to the NRC for the period July 1 to December 31, 2005. Procedural guidance for

reporting PI information and records used by the licensee to identify potential PI

occurrences were also reviewed. The inspectors verified the accuracy of the PI for ERO

drill and exercise performance through review of a sample of drill and event records.

The inspectors reviewed selected training records to verify the accuracy of the PI for

ERO drill participation for personnel assigned to key positions in the ERO. The

inspectors verified the accuracy of the PI for alert and notification system reliability

through review of a sample of the licensees records of periodic system tests.

The inspection was conducted in accordance with NRC Inspection Procedure 71151,

Performance Indicator Verification. The applicable planning standard, 10 CFR 50.9

and Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI) 99-02, Revision 3, Regulatory Assessment

Performance Indicator Guidelines, were used as reference criteria. This inspection

activity represents three samples on an annual basis.

The inspectors reviewed various documents which are listed in the Attachment to this

report.

b.

Findings

No findings of significance were identified.

4OA6 Meetings, including Exit

On March 24, 2006, the inspectors presented the inspection results to Mr. T. Tynan and

other members of his staff. The inspectors confirmed that proprietary information was

not provided or taken during the inspection.

Following preliminary review of the additional information provided by the licensee, a re-

exit meeting was held via teleconference on May 8, 2006 with Mr. R. Dedrickson and

other members of his staff.

9

Upon completion of NRC staff review of the potential finding and the determination that

an AV had occurred, licensee management was informed of this determination in a

teleconference on June 5, 2006 with Mr. D. Grissette, Mr. T. Tynan and other members

of their staffs.
