Licensee Actions 3/4Conducted Root Cause Evaluations for identified issues.

3/4Developed a Common Cause Report 3/4Developed Corrective Actions for the identified deficiencies.

IP 95002 Objectives

• To provide assurance that the root causes and contributing causes are understood for individual and collective (multiple white inputs) risk significant performance issues.

• To independently assess the extent of condition and the extent of cause for individual and collective (multiple white inputs) risk significant performance issues.

• To independently determine if safety culture components caused or significantly contributed to the individual or collective (multiple white inputs) risk significant performance issues.

• To provide assurance that licensee corrective actions to risk significant performance issues are sufficient to address the root causes and contributing causes, and to prevent recurrence.

Inspection Team

• Mike Ernstes, Branch Chief DRS

• Bob Hagar, Robinson SRI

• Norm Merriweather, Senior Reactor Inspector

• Rob Berryman, Senior Reactor Inspector

• Mike Pribish, Watts Bar Resident Inspector

• Victor Hall, Vendor Inspector Branch NRR

• Tonya Lighty, DRP Project Engineer (Trainee)

Inspection Scope 95002 Inspection U1 Cooling Water U1 Parallel finding U2 RHR Yellow Collective Requirements MSPI on S/R breakers finding & White Issues MSPI Problem Identification Root Cause Extent of Condition Extent of Cause Corrective Actions Independent assessment Safety Culture Section Lead Pribish / Hall Merriweather Berryman Hagar / Ernstes

Conclusions

• No new findings were identified by the inspection team.

• The NRC inspectors verified that the licensee used systematic methods to evaluate the issues and that they adequately determined causes for the events.

Conclusions

• The licensees evaluation of the problems with the Corrective Action Program accurately reflected the problem areas and they have proposed long term actions to improve performance.

• The licensees evaluations adequately considered Safety Culture aspects which contributed to the events. They have identified several actions to reinforce a strong safety culture.

Conclusions

• The NRC inspectors determined that the licensee has specified appropriate corrective actions for the root and contributing causes which led to the events.
