LICENSE RENEWAL INSPECTION PLAN
FOR
PILGRIM NUCLEAR GENERATION STATION
I PURPOSE
This plan specifies areas that must be inspected in order to assure the thoroughness and accuracy of the
screening and scoping of non-safety related structures, systems, and components, as required in 10 CFR 54.4(a)(2) and to assure aging management programs are capable of managing the identified aging affect in a
reasonable manner. This inspection plan describes how Manual Chapter 2516 requirements for activities
relating to 10 CFR Part 54 will be inspected. This plan defines the scope of the inspections planned to verify
that Entergys license renewal program for the Pilgrim Nuclear Generating Station is in compliance with the
requirements of the rule and is consistent with the license renewal application and the staffs safety evaluation
of Entergys license renewal application. The plan also provides guidance for inspection scheduling, inspector
training, inspection activities, and resource requirements.
Entergys license renewal application identified the systems and structures that Entergy had determined were
within the scope of the rule.
II OBJECTIVES
The overall objective of this plan is to provide guidance for inspecting the implementation and effectiveness of
the programs and activities associated with Entergys license renewal program. The inspection will verify there
is reasonable assurance that the effects of aging will be adequately managed so that the intended function(s)
of structures, and components, for which an aging management review is required, will be maintained
consistent with the current licensing basis during the period of extended operation. Region I will implement
the license renewal inspection plan at Pilgrim before NRR approves Entergys license renewal application to
verify that Entergy meets the requirements of the rule and has implemented license renewal programs and
activities consistent with the rule, the license renewal application, and the staffs safety evaluation report on
the license renewal application.
III INSPECTION ACTIVITIES
Inspection Procedure (IP) 71002, License Renewal Inspections, will be the primary procedure used to
inspect Pilgrim Nuclear Generating Stations implementation of the requirements of the rule. The latest
revision of IP 71002 can be reviewed by accessing http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/doc-collections/insp-
manual/inspection-procedure/ip71002.pdf
Scoping and Screening The inspection will focus on the methodology used by the applicant to
determine which non-safety systems are within the scope of the license renewal. This will be
accomplished by walk-downs of accessible portions of selected systems and structures to identify
observable inconsistencies in the scoping and screening activities. Any aging effects on the systems
and structures that are not covered in the license renewal application will be noted for inclusion in the
Aging Management portion of the inspection.
Aging Management Review Aging effects identified by Entergy will be principally reviewed and
evaluated during the NRR technical review and on-site audit. As part of an aging management
program inspection, the regional inspection team will perform a sample review of related maintenance
records of the selected systems and structures in an attempt to identify any previously unrecognized
aging.
Aging Management Programs The inspection team will inspect the aging management programs,
including aging management programs where Entergy claims they are consistent with the Generic
Aging Lessons Learned report, for important aging effects in selected systems and structures. The
inspection team will examine records for existing aging management programs to evaluate the
programs effectiveness and will review plans for new aging management programs. The inspection
team will then document the teams findings on the effectiveness of the aging management programs
to maintain the systems and structures intended function(s) consistent with the current licensing basis
for the period of extended operation.
IV INSPECTION SCOPE
The Pilgrim license renewal inspection activities will be implemented through an on-site inspection.
1. The inspection will last two weeks. One inspection man-week will focus on the scoping and screening
processes as it relates to non-safety systems that affect safety systems. The inspection will verify non-
safety systems have been included or excluded consistent with the rule, methodology, and the staffs
evaluation of Entergys methodology. The inspection will verify there is reasonable assurance that
Entergys scoping and screening processes have identified the non-safety systems, structures, and
components for which an aging management review is required consistent with the requirements of the
rule.
2. The remainder of the inspection resources will focus on the aging management programs designated
in the Entergy application. This inspection will examine a sample of existing and proposed aging
management programs and compare the programs against actual past results.
2. If open inspection items warrant a third inspection week, the team will followup on previous inspection
activities and may inspect Entergy actions on any safety evaluation open items requested by NRR.
This inspection may also include portions of the license renewal application updated by the applicant
as a result of recent plant modifications. The scope of any third inspection week (and, thus, the
resources) will depend on how many open issues remain from the previous inspection activities.
V INSPECTION RESOURCES
The inspection is expected to have the following inspection resources:
1. Inspectors
C One team leader - Glenn Meyer
C Six inspectors - Chaudhary, D. Johnson, Kaufman, Lewis, OHara, and Richmond
- Region II inspector for familiarization purposes - B. Miller
2. Skills
The inspection team has a cross-section of skills, including mechanical, material, civil/structural, and
electrical engineering skills.
VI AGING MANAGEMENT PROGRAMS
The inspectors will sample from the following aging management programs (AMPs), which are either explicitly
provided in a separate AMP or included as part of another AMP:
