UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION WASHINGTON, D.C. 20555-0001 AUDIT REPORT BY THE OFFICE OF NUCLEAR REACTOR REGULATION LICENSEE MANAGEMENT OF REGULATORY COMMITMENTS LUMINANT GENERATION COMPANY LLC COMANCHE PEAK NUCLEAR POWER PLANT. UNITS 1 AND 2 DOCKET NOS. 50-445 AND 50-446
1.0 INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND
In Regulatory Issue Summary 2000-17, "Managing Regulatory Commitments Made by Power Reactor Licensees to the NRC Staff," dated September 21, 2000 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML003741774), the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) informed licensees that the Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI) document NEI 99-04, Revision 0, "Guidelines for Managing NRC Commitment Changes,"
(ADAMS Accession No. ML003680088) contains acceptable guidance for controlling regulatory commitments and encouraged licensees to use the NEI guidance or similar administrative controls to ensure that regulatory commitments are implemented and that changes to the regulatory commitments are evaluated and, when appropriate, reported to the NRC. NEI 99-04 describes a "regulatory commitment" as an explicit statement to take a specific action agreed to, or volunteered by, a licensee by a certain date and submitted in writing on the docket to the NRC.
The NRC Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation (NRR) has instructed its staff to perform an audit of licensees' commitment management programs once every 3 years to determine whether the licensees' programs are consistent with the industry guidance in NEI 99-04, and that the regulatory commitments are being effectively implemented.
NEI 99-04 defines a "regulatory commitment" as an explicit statement to take a specific action agreed to, or volunteered by, a licensee and submitted in writing on the docket to the NRC.
NRR guidelines direct the NRR Project Manager to audit the licensee's commitment management program by assessing the adequacy of the licensee's implementation of a sample of commitments made to the NRC in past licensing actions (amendments, relief requests, exemptions, etc.) and licensing activities (bulletins, generic letters, etc.). The audit is to be performed every 3 years.
2.0 AUDIT PROCEDURE AND RESULTS An audit of the Comanche Peak Nuclear Power Plant (CPNPP), Units 1 and 2, commitment management program was performed at the plant site on July 15-17, 2014. The audit reviewed commitments made since the previous audit on August 16-17, 2011 (audit report issued on Enclosure
September 23, 2011 (ADAMS Accession No. ML112440514). The audit consisted of three major parts: (1) verification of the licensee's implementation of NRC commitments that have been completed, and (2) verification of the licensee's program for managing changes to NRC commitments, and (3) verification that all regulatory commitments reviewed were correctly applied in NRC staff licensing action reviews.
2.1 Verification of Licensee's Implementation of NRC Commitments The primary focus of this part of the audit is to confirm that the licensee has implemented commitments made to the NRC as part of past licensing actions/activities. For commitments not yet implemented, the NRC staff determines whether they have been captured in an effective program for future implementation.
2.1.1 Audit Scope The audit addressed a sample of commitments made during the review period. The audit focused on regulatory commitments (as defined above) made in writing to the NRC as a result of past licensing actions (amendments, exemptions, relief requests, etc.) or licensing activities (bulletins, generic letters, etc.). Before the audit, the NRC staff searched ADAMS for the licensee's submittals since the last audit and selected a representative sample of regulatory commitments for verification. The identified list of commitments was forwarded to the licensee with a request to locate documentation for the listed regulatory commitments ahead of the NRC staff visit.
The audit excluded the following types of commitments that are internal to licensee processes:
- 1. Commitments made on the licensee's own initiative among internal organizational components.
- 2. Commitments that pertain to milestones of licensing actions/activities (e.g.,
respond to an NRC request for additional information by a certain date).
Fulfillment of these commitments was indicated by the fact that the subject licensing action/activity was completed.
- 3. Commitments made as an internal reminder to take actions to comply with existing regulatory requirements such as regulations and Technical Specifications. Fulfillment of these commitments was indicated by the licensee having taken timely action in accordance with the subject requirements.
2.1.2 Audit Results Luminant Generation Company LLC (Luminant, the licensee) has implemented Procedure STA-509, "Commitments Management Program," which identifies the methods and site organization tools for managing development, review, and implementation of station commitments. The licensee's Procedure REG-509, "Nuclear Licensing Commitment Administration," establishes the processes, guidelines, and activities the licensee uses to manage the development, review, and implementation of commitments generated from regulatory obligations and self-imposed requirements. An electronic commitment tracking
system (ECTS) database is used in conjunction with other information sources to address and track regulatory commitments.
The documents furnished by the licensee during the audit included summary sheets from the ECTS database providing the status of the commitments and appropriate backup documentation, as needed (i.e., plant procedures, examination records, and/or other plant documentation). The NRC staff reviewed the documents and summarized the selected commitments information in the Attachment to this audit report.
The NRC staff's audit was intended to confirm that the licensee has documented its implementation of its regulatory commitments made to the NRC staff as part of past licensing communications, and the commitments that had not yet been implemented or incorporated in design bases documents are captured in an effective manner for future implementation.
As discussed above, the ECTS and commitments material change evaluation (CMCE) provided by the licensee's Procedures STA-509 and REG-509, provide acceptable tools for the licensee to capture the NRC guidance on commitment management programs. The licensee enters the regulatory commitments made to the NRC into a database. The regulatory commitments are labeled as regulatory commitments. Each commitment is numbered and described by a commitment title and a brief description. Status of the commitments, implementation dates, target implementation (documents which finally capture the commitment) document information associated with each specific commitment, and comments are captured in the database. The licensee's staff is well trained in updating the commitment management program.
The licensee has maintained the ECTS database very well and all the commitments selected for this audit were traceable in the database. For commitments already incorporated, the database provided an accurate status of the commitment providing reference to the implementation document. The NRC staffs audit of the licensee's commitment management program for CPNPP, Units 1 and 2, did not identify any regulatory commitments that were not satisfied or incorporated except for the ones described below. However, none of the items identified below had any safety significance.
Commitment No. 4356619 For the condition monitoring (CM) assessment, the component of operational leakage from the prior cycle from below the H* distance will be multiplied by a factor of 3.16 and added to the total accident leakage from any other source and compared to the allowable accident induced leakage limit. For the operational assessment (OA), the difference in the leakage between the allowed accident induced leakage and the accident-induced leakage from sources other than the tubesheet expansion region will be divided by 3.16 and compared to the observed operational leakage. An administrative limit will be established to not exceed the calculated value.
Procedure NDE 7.14, "Non Destructive Examination Program Manual" Section 6.1.1.1 was revised to incorporate the commitment. However, the ECTS database did not recognize the procedure revised to incorporate the commitment. The licensee wrote a Condition Report (CR) 2014-007691 on July 1, 2014, to correct the database.
Commitment No. 4408996 Luminant will maintain Spent Fuel Pool boron concentration at or above 2400 ppm [parts per million], above that required for operability as allowed in Technical Specification 3. 7.16, "Fuel Storage Pool Boron Concentration" (2000 ppm).
As per data ECTS database, Data Sheets ODA-308-3.7.16, ODA-308-3.9.1, and ODA-308-3.9.0 for Procedure ODA-308, "LCO [Limiting Conditions for Operation] Tracking Program," were supposed to be revised to incorporate the commitment. The licensee missed revising Data Sheet ODA-308-3.9.0, but closed the commitment. CR 2014-007707 was generated on July 1, 2014, to incorporate the commitment in to Data Sheet ODA-308-3.9.0.
Commitment No. 4392919 Conduct and provide results for an onsite and augmented staffing assessment considering all requested functions except those related to NTTF [Near Term Task Force] Recommendation 4.2. [Phase 1 staffing assessment for Staffing Request 1]
The ECTS database indicates the commitment was closed by letter dated April 30, 2013 (ADAMS Accession No. ML13128A077). However, the letter dated April30, 2013, does not state specifically which commitments were closed. It also does not reference the letter dated June 5, 2012 (ADAMS Accession No. ML12177A055), which made the commitment. There was no corrective action assigned.
Commitment No. 4392934 Provide a schedule of the time needed to implement changes associated with the Phase 1 staffing assessment [for Staffing Request 2].
The ECTS database indicates the commitment was closed by letter dated April 30, 2013 (ADAMS Accession No. ML13128A077). However, the letter dated April30, 2013, does not state specifically which commitments were closed. It also does not reference the letter dated June 5, 2012 (ADAMS Accession No. ML12177A055), which made the commitment. There was no corrective action assigned.
Commitment No. 4392954 Identify changes associated with the Phase 1 staffing assessment that have been _made or will be made to your emergency plan regarding the on-shift or augmented staffing changes necessary to respond to a loss of all AC [alternating
current] power, multi-unit event, including any new or revised agreements with offsite resource providers [for Staffing Request 6].
The ECTS database indicates the commitment was closed by letter dated April 30, 2013 (ADAMS Accession No. ML13128A077). However, the letter dated April30, 2013, does not state specifically which commitments were closed. It also does not reference the letter dated June 5, 2012 (ADAMS Accession No. ML12177A055), which made the commitment. There was no corrective action assigned.
Commitment No. 4430943 Luminant confirms that it will use the seismic walkdown guidance (EPRI [Electric Power Research Institute] 1025286, "Seismic Walkdown Guidance: For Resolution of Fukushima Near-Term Task Force Recommendation 2.3: Seismic")
as endorsed by Reference 2 to conduct the walkdowns and develop the needed information at CPNPP.
The licensee submitted seismic walkdown report and confirmed that walkdowns were performed consistent with NRC-endorsed EPRI guidance by letter dated November 27, 2012 (ADAMS Accession No. ML12340A433). However, the letter did not make a reference to the original commitment and did not clearly state that it closed the commitment. There was no corrective action assigned.
Commitment No. 4630681 Identify and Integrate into the ERO [Emergency Response Organization]
notification/activation protocol those non-ERO response personnel (e.g.,
Operations and Maintenance) necessary to support expanded response capability functions.
The commitment was scheduled for completion by December 31, 2013, but was changed to May 22, 2014, by the licensee. Emergency Planning (EP) department concludes that CPNPP employs "all-call, all come" approach to ERO response and there was no need to make this commitment and commitment should be closed. However, operations department considers the commitment to be valid. CRs 2014-007478 and 2014-007889 were generated on June 24 and July 3, 2014, respectively, to resolve the concerns by operations. The licensee is in the process of performing an evaluation to determine the need and status of the commitment.
To ensure that the regulatory commitments are not removed or changed in future revisions to the target documents, the licensee performs a database search to identify all the open and closed commitments against the document/procedure being revised and this ensures that all the closed commitments are captured. In addition, the plant procedures require that all the specific regulatory commitments pertaining to the individual document be included in the reference section. This ensures that the commitments, are neither removed nor changed, without management approval.
Based on the results of the on-site audit, the NRC staff concludes that the licensee has implemented the regulatory commitment management program effectively in accordance with
LIC-1 05, Revision 5, "Managing Regulatory Commitments Made by Licensees to the NRC,"
(ADAMS Accession No. ML13193A358) and consistent with NEI 99-04. The discrepancies identified by the NRC staff are minor in nature and do not have any safety significance.
The Attachment to this audit report contains details of the audit and a summary of the audit results.
2.2 Verification of the Licensee's Program for Managing NRC Commitment Changes The primary focus of this part of the audit is to verify that the licensee has established administrative controls for modifying or deleting commitments made to the NRC. The NRC staff compared the licensee's process for controlling regulatory commitments to the guidelines in NEI 99-04, which the NRC has found to be an acceptable guide for licensees to follow for managing and changing commitments. The process used at CPNPP, Units 1 and 2, is contained in Procedures STA-509 and REG-509. The primary focus of the audit was to ensure that the commitments are implemented without a change and if a change is made, it is in accordance with the approved plant procedures and with the approval of the plant's management. The audit also verified that the licensee's commitment management system includes a mechanism to ensure traceability of commitments following initial implementation.
This ensures that the licensee's personnel are able to recognize that future proposed changes to the affected design features or operating practices require evaluation in accordance with the commitment change control process.
2.2.1 Audit Results Detailed processes are outlined by which the licensee carries out obligations under its regulatory commitments. Any changes to the commitments are processed through the CMCE process. Changes to obligatory commitments are reported to the NRC in accordance with the recommendations of LIC-1 05. CMCE identifies the affected commitments, their origin, original criteria, proposed changes, and justification for change. The commitment changes are documented in CMCE forms for submittal to the NRC staff.
The licensee performed an ECTS database search and provided a list of commitment changes made since the last audit. The list contained a total of 66 items, identified as commitment changes. However, the NRC staff review indicated that majority of the items on the list were changes to the internal commitment dates and did not represent a change to the Regulatory Commitment date. The NRC staff identified only five commitment changes and only one of these required the NRC staff notification.
Based on the results of the on-site audit, the NRC staff concludes that the licensee has implemented regulatory commitment changes appropriately, in accordance with LIC-105 and consistent with NEI 99-04. However, a weakness in the ECTS database to identify regulatory commitments changes not internal to the licensee was identified. The licensee agreed to modify the ECTS database fields to ensure that regulatory commitment changes are adequately captured during the search.
2.3 Verification that Reviewed Regulatory Commitments were Correctly Applied in NRC Staff Licensing Action Reviews The commitments reviewed for this audit were also evaluated to determine if they had been misapplied. A commitment is considered to be misapplied if the action comprising the commitment was relied on by the NRC staff in making a regulatory decision such as a finding of public health and safety in an NRC safety evaluation associated with a licensing action.
Reliance on an action to support a regulatory decision must be elevated from a regulatory commitment to a legal obligation (e.g., license condition, condition of a relief request, regulatory exemption limitation or condition). A commitment is also considered to have been misapplied if the commitment involves actions that were safety significant (i.e., commitments used to ensure safety).
Each of the commitments selected for the audit sample were reviewed to determine if any had been misapplied. Based on the NRC staff review of the safety evaluations and staff assessments issued for the audit period, it was determined that the commitments reviewed by the NRC staff were explicit statements made by the licensee to take specific action in support of the specific licensing action and were correctly applied while reviewing the licensing actions.
3.0 OBSERVATIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS A weakness in the ECTS database to identify regulatory commitments changes not internal to the licensee was identified. From a list of 66 commitment changes identified by the database search, only five were actual regulatory commitment changes. The licensee agreed to modify the ECTS database fields to ensure that regulatory commitment changes are adequately captured during the search.
During the audit in 2011, the NRC staff noticed that the ECTS database does not include a field to state the closing date for the commitment and recommended that ECTS database should include an additional field to clearly state the commitment closing date. The licensee generated CR-2011-01 0459 on September 23, 2011 to address the NRC staff concern. The CR was closed on March 3, 2012 with no change to the ECTS database. The licensee staff was unable to provide a justification for closing the CR without any change to the ECTS database during the audit and generated another CR-2014-008661 on August 4, 2014 to address the NRC staff concern.
4.0 CONCLUSION
Based on the results of the audit, the NRC staff concludes that the licensee has implemented the regulatory commitment management program effectively, and implemented regulatory commitment changes appropriately, in accordance with LIC-1 05 and consistent with NEI 99-04.
The specific observations and recommendations identified during the audit are detailed in Section 3.0 of the report.
