LICENSE RENEWAL INSPECTION PLAN FOR ENTERGY=S INDIAN POINT ENERGY CENTER 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 Entergy=s license renewal program for Indian Point is in compliance with the requirements of the rule and is consistent with the license renewal application and the staff=s safety evaluation of Entergy=s license renewal application. The plan also provides guidance for inspection scheduling, inspector training, inspection activities, and resource requirements.
Entergy=s license renewal application identified the systems and structures that Entergy 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 Entergy=s 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 Indian Point before NRR approves Entergy=s 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 staff=s safety evaluation report on the license renewal application.
A part of the inspection may also address questions in writing from the Division of License Renewal, NRR.
III INSPECTION ACTIVITIES Inspection Procedure (IP) 71002, ALicense Renewal Inspections,@ will be the primary procedure used to inspect Entergy=s 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 review of license renewal drawings, the application, and Entergy procedures, and 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 selected 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 team=s 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. A sampling of existing, modified, or new programs will be selected among the aging management programs with respect to the following elements:
Scope of the Program Preventive Actions Parameters Monitored or Inspected Detection of Aging Effects Monitoring and Trending Acceptance Criteria Corrective Actions Confirmation Process Administrative Controls Operating Experience Information That Supports the Application - The inspection team will inspect the documentation used to support the application and verify on a sampling basis that the information is auditable and retrievable.
IV INSPECTION SCOPE The Indian Point license renewal inspection activities will be implemented through an on-site inspection.
- 1. The inspection will last two weeks. One inspection inspector-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 staff=s evaluation of Entergy=s methodology. The inspection will verify there is reasonable assurance that Entergy=s 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 new aging management programs, and compare the programs against past results for existing programs and evaluate proposed implementation of new programs.
- 3. If open inspection items warrant a third inspection, such as the operational aspects of the Station Blackout (SBO) diesel installation, the team will follow up 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.
V INSPECTION RESOURCES The inspection will need the following inspection resources:
- 1.
Inspectors C
One team leader C
Six regional inspectors and an inspector in training
- 2.
Skills The inspection team needs a cross-section of skills, including mechanical, material, civil/structural, and electrical engineering skills.
The scope of the third inspection (and, thus, the resources) will depend on how many open issues remain from the previous inspection activities.
Potential Outcomes:
- a. Scope of review completed per sampling
- b. Observations related to Application Amendments
- c. Observations related to significant program/implementing revisions
- d. Findings related to inaccuracy (CLB issues need to be separated)
