UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION WASHINGTON, D.C. 20555-0001 Mr. Terry D. Hobbs General Manager Decommissioning Crystal River Nuclear Plant (NA2C) 15760 West Power Line Street Crystal River, FL 34428-6708 April 20, 2015
SUBJECT:
CRYSTAL RIVER UNIT 3 NUCLEAR GENERATING PLANT -AUDIT OF THE LICENSEE'S MANAGEMENT OF REGULATORY COMMITMENTS (TAC NO. MF5333)
Dear Mr. Hobbs:
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) informed the licensees in Regulatory Issue Summary (RIS) 2000-17, "Managing Regulatory Commitments Made by Power Reactor Licensees to the NRC Staff," dated September 21, 2000, that the Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI) document, NEI 99-04, "Guidelines for Managing NRC Commitment Changes," contains acceptable guidance for controlling regulatory commitments. RIS 2000-17 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.
The NRC Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation has instructed its staff to perform an audit of the 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 regulatory commitments are being effectively implemented.
An audit of the Crystal River Unit 3 Nuclear Generating Plant (CR-3) commitment management program was performed at the plant site on December 17, 18, and 19, 2014. The NRC staff concludes, based on the information obtained in the audit, that (1) CR-3 has generally implemented NRC commitments on a timely basis, and (2) CR-3 has implemented an overall effective program for managing NRC commitment changes. Details of the audit are set forth in the enclosed audit report.
If you have any questions, please contact me at 301-415-3229 or by e-mail at Michael. Orenak@nrc.gov.

CRYSTAL RIVER UNIT 3 NUCLEAR GENERATING PLANT LICENSEE'S MANAGEMENT OF REGULATORY COMMITMENTS DOCKET NO. 50-302
1.0 INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) informed the licensees in Regulatory Issue Summary (RIS) 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), 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. RIS 2000-17 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 the 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. An audit of Duke Energy Florida, Inc. (the licensee), commitment management program for Crystal River Unit 3 Generating Plant (CR-3) was performed at the plant site on December 17-19, 2014. This was the third audit performed at the plant site for CR-3. The previous audit was conducted in June 2011 and recorded in the audit report dated January 31, 2012 (ADAMS Accession No. ML11242A151 ).
The third audit reviewed commitments made since the second audit (i.e., from October 1, 2011, to October 1, 2014).
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 the past licensing actions (amendments, reliefs, exemptions, etc.) and activities (bulletins, generic letters, etc.).
Enclosure 2.0 AUDIT PROCEDURE AND RESULTS The audit consisted of three major parts: (1) verification of the licensee's implementation of new commitments, (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 and activities. For commitments not yet implemented, the NRC staff determines whether they have been captured in an effective program for future implementation. The audit also verifies that the licensee's commitment management system includes a mechanism to ensure traceability of commitments following initial implementation. This ensures that licensee 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.
2.1.1 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, etc.) or licensing activities (bulletins, generic letters, etc.). Commitments made in Licensee Event Reports or in response to Notices of Violation may be included in the sample, but the review will be limited to verification of restoration of compliance, not the specific methods used. Before the audit, the NRC staff searched ADAMS for the licensee's submittals since the last audit (i.e., during the last 3 years) and selected a representative sample for verification.
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 or 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 or 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 The NRC staff reviewed the licensee's procedure for commitment management, REG-0110, "Regulatory Commitments," Revision 1, May 6, 2014 as the effective date. REG-0110, Revision 1 is applicable to regulatory commitments made or modified after the effective date of this procedure.
The NRC staff reviewed REG-0110, Revision 1 and found that the guidance is consistent with the intent of NEI 99-04, and ensures that CR-3 is appropriately implementing regulatory commitments. However, the staff found one unusual provision within Section 9.1.2. That section suggests that a regulatory commitment includes a "sunset clause" to establish a period of time to evaluate the effectiveness of that commitment. After this evaluation period, if it is determined that the commitment actions are not effectively achieving the objective of the commitment, the regulatory commitment would no longer be a regulatory commitment.
REG-0110, Revision 1 does not establish when or how this determination is made, nor does it specify the fate of a commitment which was determined to be ineffective (e.g., whether the ineffective commitment is actively closed by licensing staff, or whether it is simply ignored).
Upon asking for clarification, the licensee responded that Section 9.1.2 of the procedure has rarely been invoked, if ever.
The licensee manages commitments made to the NRC in a database called "PassPort." The PassPort database handles the commitments that are opened or actively being executed. In addition to tracking all commitments, including commitments made to state and other agencies, PassPort also tracks other plant activities. For each regulatory commitment, a Nuclear Task Management action should be initiated by licensee staff, and the regulatory commitment should be captured in PassPort as an Action Request (AR). Appropriate actions to implement the regulatory commitment should be captured in a PassPort Action Tracking Assignment. Due dates and the names of individuals responsible for meeting the commitment are also entered.
A site-specific procedure, CP-252, "Commitment Management," Revision 8, is also being utilized at the CR-3 site. The procedure defines a process for identifying, managing, and changing ongoing regulatory commitments. An ongoing commitment is defined in this procedure as a commitment requiring ongoing and continuous implementation, whereas a one-time commitment is a commitment that is to be completed once by a specific date, event, or milestone, and has no future or ongoing action. CR-3 manages ongoing commitments in an older commitment system named Nuclear Operations Commitment System (NOCS). Procedure CP-252 defines the process for creating, maintaining, and changing NOCS database entries for the ongoing regulatory commitments. A computer report from the NOCS database cross-references commitments to CR-3 implementation.
Prior to the onsite audit, the NRC staff searched ADAMS for licensee documents submitted since the previous audit, which contained new regulatory commitments related to licensing actions. The NRC staff chose a sample of new commitments for audit and requested that the licensee provide the associated documentation from NOCS and PassPort, including the licensee's letter and date that contained the commitment text and summary sheets providing the regulatory commitment action request and assignment numbers.
The NRC staff reviewed commitment documentation for items identified as regulatory commitments by the licensee, including regulatory commitments that were made, closed, and ongoing since the last audit, to assess the implementation for each. A summary of the reviewed commitments is provided in Tables 1, 2, 3, and 4 in the attachment. For the commitments selected for the audit, the NRC staff found that the licensee had adequately captured all of the new regulatory commitments in its PassPort system. For the ongoing commitments, the NRC staff verified that they had been correctly entered into the NOCS database or transferred from PassPort to NOCS and correctly referenced. For closed commitments, the NRC staff was informed by the licensee's staff to one commitment that was improperly closed. By letter dated October 8, 1995, the licensee committed to use optical disk for data management of quality assurance systems records as a response to Generic Letter 88-18, "Plant Record Storage on Optical Disks." The procedure, RDC-1, to store quality assurance records on optical disk was discontinued; however, instead of being properly inactivated under the commitment change protocol, the commitment was simply deleted from the NOCS system. The NRC staff did not find any other improperly closed commitments in their review.
During the audit, the NRC staff reviewed plant procedures that have been revised as a result of commitments made by the licensee to the NRC. The NRC staff noted that procedures that are affected by a regulatory commitment are identified in the PassPort database under the Action Request assigned for that commitment. The licensee's procedure owner is advised to refer to all the regulatory commitments associated with each procedure prior to making any changes to the procedure, proactively preventing a change that could modify a commitment.
Based on the review of the sample commitments in the PassPort database and the commitment procedures, the NRC staff found that CR-3 properly implements their commitment management program for new, ongoing, and closed commitments.
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 CR-3 is contained in Duke Energy's procedure, REG-0110, Revision 1. This procedure, in coordination with the CR-3 procedure CP-252, is being used at CR-3 for tracking changes to regulatory commitments made to the NRC. The audit reviewed a sample of commitment changes that included changes that were or will be reported to the NRC, and changes that were not or need not be reported to the NRC. 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 licensee personnel are able to recognize that future proposed changes to the execution of the commitment will require evaluation in accordance with the commitment change control process.
2.2.1 Audit Results The NRC staff reviewed the licensee's procedure, REG-0110, Revision 1 against NEI 99-04.
REG-0110, Revision 1, provides guidance to the licensee consistent with the intent of NEI 99-04 and which ensures that CR-3 is appropriately implementing regulatory commitment changes, as well as tracking changes to the commitments. The following statements in REG-0110, Revision 1, provide guidance to the licensee for managing changes to commitments:
When notified of the need to change a Regulatory Commitment, the Manager Regulatory Affairs, or designee, shall ensure an Assignment is initiated to the individual group....
The Manager Regulatory Affairs, or designee, shall review the Regulatory Commitment Change Evaluation, including any necessary supporting documents, and verify the action that needs to be taken based on the results.
As appropriate, the Manager Regulatory Affairs, or designee, shall:
- 1. Record the basis for authorizing or not authorizing the change... including a reference to the original AR, if different.
The Manager Regulatory Affairs, or designee, shall ensure that any revised Regulatory Commitment, that satisfies the criteria in either Step 4.2 or Step 5.2 of the Regulatory Commitment Change Evaluation for Attachments 3 and 4, is included on a summary report of the Regulatory Commitment changes, which is submitted on a frequency consistent with 10 CFR [Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations] 50.71 (e) FSAR [Final Safety Analysis Report] updates or biennially.
The NRC staff found that REG-0110, Revision 1 adequately conforms to the guidance and intent of NEI 99-04 for commitment tracking, the commitment change process, traceability of commitments, and reporting requirements. Regulatory Commitment changes are processed and tracked by the responsible licensing supervisor or designee. The NRC staff reviewed the Regulatory Commitment Change Evaluation forms in the procedure and found them consistent with the intent of the "Commitment Evaluation" form in NEI 99-04.
During the audit, the NRC staff reviewed the licensee's letter dated May 29, 2014, which includes a summary of the CR-3 regulatory commitment changes for the period from January 5, 2012, to January 5, 2014. This regulatory commitment change report indicated that of the 100 regulatory commitments that were modified or inactivated, 49 met the NEI 99-04 criteria for NRC notification. During the audit, the NRC staff reviewed the Regulatory Commitment Change Evaluation forms for those changes that were reported to the NRC, as well as for those that did not meet the NEI 99-04 criteria for reporting to the NRC.
During the audit, the NRC staff reviewed the inactivation of three regulatory commitments resulting from changes in the CFR that had escalated the commitments to obligations. The guidance in NEI 99-04 recognizes that at the time a new rule becomes effective, the same actions formerly carried out as commitments are now used to fulfill obligations and are, therefore, no longer considered commitments. The NRC staff noted that several of the commitments had remained open and tracked as commitments for years after the actions were subsumed into obligations. The licensee responded that these commitments were modified (i.e., inactivated) only recently as part of an effort to reduce unnecessary or obsolete commitments. At no time were the actions themselves discontinued. In each case, both the commitment and obligation were fulfilled, and the commitment was closed out properly, if late.
Details of the late close-outs are contained in Table 3 of the attachment.
Discussions with CR-3 staff confirmed that changes to regulatory commitments are generally being handled in accordance with the guidance contained in NEI 99-04. In addition, the NRC staff reviewed documentation from the licensee related to the items that involved changes to the commitments. The NRC staff found that, except for the examples detailed above, the licensee properly addressed each regulatory commitment change reviewed during this audit and has implemented an effective program to manage commitment changes.
2.3 Review to Identify Misapplied Commitments 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 (SE) 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).
2.3.1 Review of Safety Evaluation Reports for Licensing Actions since the Last Audit to Determine if they are Properly Captured as Commitments or Obligations In addition to the commitments selected for the audit sample, all license amendment SEs, exemptions, and relief request SEs that have been issued for a facility since the last audit were identified. These documents were evaluated to determine if they contained any misapplied commitments as described above.
One commitment reviewed presented a potential misapplication of a regulatory commitment by NRC staff. By letter dated February 8, 2012 (ADAMS Accession No. ML12003A217), the NRC staff submitted a request for additional information (RAI) for detailed information and failure mode reports for several systems relating to the license amendment request for an extended power uprate. In the RAI response dated March 19, 2012 (ADAMS Accession No. ML12081A293), the licensee submitted text providing further details about the systems and included a regulatory commitment to supply the failure mode reports by November 9, 2012. The information was provided to the NRC by the deadline, and the commitment was properly closed.
This created a potential misapplication in that the failure mode reports supplied to fulfill the regulatory commitment may have been relied on to make a safety decision. On further investigation, it was determined that the NRC staff did not improperly use the supplied failure mode reports to make a safety decision because (1) the information was requested by NRC staff correctly as part of an RAI and not volunteered by the licensee, and (2) the extended power uprate amendment was later withdrawn by CR-3 as part of its decision to permanently shut down. Consequently, the NRC staff never approved the proposed licensing action, rendering the issue moot, and the NRC staff could not misapply the information in the regulatory commitment. The submittal of the failure analysis reports should have been addressed as a deadline change for the RAI response and not a regulatory commitment on the docket.
2.4 Overall Audit Observations and Suggestions During the audit, the NRC staff noticed the following points:
(1) The PassPort database, while it has the capability to effectively manage regulatory commitments, is not intuitive or user-friendly.
a) PassPort is used for all plant activities, such as accounting and engineering work orders, in addition to commitment management. The PassPort database does not include an entry field which categorizes an activity and has limited search capability.
For example, PassPort cannot search for and extract any document labeled as a regulatory commitment. In addition, PassPort is lacking insufficient fields to enter keywords or comments. Various CR-3 staff appeared to struggle to adequately describe actions or include comments about the commitment within the existing database framework.
b) The most efficient mechanism to extract specific information from PassPort is to know to enter the AR number. Because the AR number is assigned arbitrarily and PassPort has limited search capability, to gain maximum efficiency, licensee staff was prompted to track commitments with action request numbers by means outside of PassPort, such as makeshift documents, small note pads, or by staff memory.
c) Commitments initiated prior to the use of the PassPort database were not imported from NOCS into PassPort and were not assigned an AR number unless the status of the commitment was changed.
d) PassPort could not readily manage commitments designated as "ongoing." Instead, an ongoing commitment was initiated in PassPort for initial implementation. After initial implementation, the continued maintenance of the commitment activity was then shifted to the NOCS system. The necessity of this double system highlights an inadequacy in PassPort.
e) PassPort action requests are generally entered as single actions, which may be each assigned to different staff. If a commitment requires multiple actions to fulfill (e.g.,
plant modifications and revision of plant procedures), there is no readily available mechanism to collect the commitment actions under a single traceable umbrella.
This creates the potential situation where all of the actions required by a commitment may be completed separately by several staff, but there is no recognition that the commitment itself has been completed, which may lead to late or failed closeout.
(2) The NOCS system was designed for commitment management, and therefore, is more user-friendly toward tracking commitments. However, the system is outdated and not currently clear of older or hanging commitments that have been completed. Continuous upkeep is necessary to maintain tracking of the ongoing commitments that were initiated in NOCS or transferred from PassPort. In addition, at present, only one member of the licensing staff is well-versed in NOCS and no other staff member has adequate knowledge of the system. If that staff member is not available, management of the CR-3 commitment program would pose a significant challenge to any unknowledgeable staff member.
(3) There was some confusion in PassPort as to whether a commitment had been "closed,"
"completed," "cancelled," or inactivated. It was not clear whether the closure or completion applied to a single action or an entire regulatory commitment, or whether a "closed" commitment is being inactivated due to becoming obsolete or cancelled while in process. This is compounded by the fact that CR-3 is permanently shut down and undergoing transition to decommissioning. CR-3 is currently reevaluating its existing commitments and determining which commitments no longer apply to a permanently shutdown plant, and therefore, may be inactivated. It is important to correctly distinguish whether a commitment action has been closed because it was completed or inactivated or cancelled because it no longer applied to a decommissioning plant.
(4) Despite the limitations of the PassPort and NOCS systems, CR-3 staff are generally managing regulatory commitments effectively. The examples described above detail discrepancies in tracking and recordkeeping of commitments, not in the fulfillment of the commitments. The actions themselves required by the commitments were assigned and carried out effectively and in a timely manner.
During the exit interview at the conclusion of the audit, the NRC staff and the CR-3 licensing engineer discussed ways to improve efficiency and traceability of the regulatory commitments in both the PassPort and NOCS databases, and to ensure that a regulatory commitment due date is not missed. As a result, the following items were suggested:
(1)
Continue to apply the NOCS system for ongoing commitments. Assign backup staff to learn the upkeep of the NOCS system to ensure continuity of maintenance. If no backup staff is available, current staff should write a detailed procedure, which can be followed by future staff without supervision.
(2)
Revise the REG-0110, Revision 1 procedure to include a set of definitions for words or descriptive phrases (e.g., "cancelled" or "inactivated") to be consistently used in PassPort by all staff to distinguish among completion, closeout, cancellation, inactivation, inapplicability due to permanent shutdown, or other types of commitment completion.
(3)
Revise the REG-0110, Revision 1 procedure to either adequately clarify the phrase "sunset clause" from Section 9.1.2 or, since the clause is rarely invoked, remove it entirely from the procedure.
(4)
When creating an assignment in PassPort to capture a regulatory commitment, include a reference to the letter number and letter date in which the regulatory commitment is contained to avoid over-dependence on an action request number.
(5)
For commitments which require multiple actions and multiple action requests in PassPort, devise a system whereby the completion of all required actions for the commitment is apparent and recognized, so that the commitment may be closed in a timely manner.
3.0 CONCLUSION
The NRC staff concludes that based on the above audit, (1) CR-3 has generally implemented NRC commitments on a timely basis, and (2) CR-3 has implemented an effective program for managing NRC commitment changes.
