Warnick, NRC Senior Resident Inspector, San Onofre Units 2 and 3 ENCLOSURE 30-day Response to NRC Bulletin 2011-01 San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station, Units 2 and 3 The Bulletin requested that within 30 days of the date of this Bulletin, licensees provide information on their NRC mitigating strategies programs.
The NRC questions related to the 30-day response are restated below followed by the Southern California Edison (SCE) response for San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station (SONGS).1. Is the equipment necessary to execute the mitigating strategies, as described in your submittals to the NRC, available and capable of performing its intended function?Response SCE has confirmed that the equipment necessary to execute the mitigating strategies, as described in our submittals to the NRC (References 1, 2, 3, 5 and 6) and as reviewed and approved by the NRC (References 4, 7 and 8), is available and capable of performing its intended function at SONGS, with the exception of plant-specific strategy 3 in Table A.2-4 of Reference
- 5. The equipment for this plant-specific strategy was confirmed to be available and capable of performing its intended function, but the locations differ from those described in Reference 5.The equipment was recently inventoried, inspected or tested. Letters of Agreement and Memoranda of Understanding with offsite organizations were also recently re-validated or re-issued as needed.2. Are the guidance and strategies implemented capable of being executed considering the current configuration of your facility and current staffing and skill levels of the staff?Response SCE has confirmed that the guidance and strategies implemented at SONGS Units 2 and 3 are capable of being executed considering the current configuration of the facility and current staffing and skill levels of SONGS personnel.
Each procedure implementing the required mitigation strategies was walked down to ensure that the procedures were in place and capable of being executed with the current configuration of the facility.
SCE determined that the guidance and strategies could be executed with the current staffing levels. Skill levels of the SONGS personnel that would execute the guidance and strategies were verified from training records, and additional training and walk-throughs performed as necessary.
