Waterford Steam Electric Station, Unit 3 17265 River Road Killona, LA 70057-3093
SUBJECT:
WATERFORD STEAM ELECTRIC STATION, UNIT 3 - PLAN FOR THE ONSITE AUDIT REGARDING IMPLEMENTATION OF MITIGATING STRATEGIES AND RELIABLE SPENT FUEL POOL INSTRUMENTATION RELATED TO ORDERS EA-12-049 AND EA-12-051 (TAC NOS. MF0977 AND MF0946)
Dear Sir/Madam:
On March 12, 2012, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) issued Order EA-12-049, "Order Modifying Licenses with Regard to Requirements for Mitigation Strategies for Beyond Design-Basis External Events" and Order EA-12-051, "Order to Modify Licenses With Regard To Reliable Spent Fuel Pool Instrumentation," (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession Nos. ML12054A736 and ML12054A679, respectively). The orders require holders of operating reactor licenses and construction permits issued under Title 1O of the Code of Federal Regulations Part 50 to submit for review, Overall Integrated Plans (OIPs) including descriptions of how compliance with the requirements of of each order will be achieved.
By letter dated February 28, 2013 (ADAMS Accession No. ML13063A266), Entergy Operations, Inc. (Entergy, the licensee), submitted its OIP for Waterford Steam Electric Station, Unit 3 (Waterford), in response to Order EA-12-049. By letters dated August 28, 2013, February 28, 2014, August 28, 2014, and February 26, 2015 (ADAMS Accession Nos.
ML13241A281, ML14059A085, ML14241A270, and ML15057A548, respectively), Entergy submitted its first four successive six-month updates to the OIP. By letter dated August 28, 2013 (ADAMS Accession No. ML13234A503), the NRC notified all licensees and construction permit holders that the staff is conducting audits of their responses to Order EA-12-049 in accordance with NRC Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation (NRR) Office Instruction LIC-111, "Regulatory Audits" (ADAMS Accession No. ML082900195). This audit process led to the issuance of the Waterford interim staff evaluation (ISE) dated November 22, 2013 (ADAMS Accession No. ML13220A402), and continues with in-office and onsite portions of this audit.
By letter dated February 28, 2013 (ADAMS Accession No. ML13063A263), the licensee submitted its OIP for Waterford, in response to Order EA-12-051. By e-mail dated August 28, 2013 (ADAMS Accession No. ML13246A318), the NRC staff sent a request for additional information (RAI) to the licensee. By letters dated August 28, 2013, September 26, 2013, February 28, 2014, August 28, 2014, and February 26, 2015 (ADAMS Accession Nos.
ML13241A280, ML13273A013, ML14059A087, ML14247A294, and ML15057A555, respectively), the licensee submitted its RAI responses and first four successive six-month updates to the OIP. The NRC staff's review to date led to the issuance of the Waterford ISE
and RAI dated November 25, 2013 (ADAMS Accession No. ML13312A787). By letter dated March 26, 2014 (ADAMS Accession No. ML14083A620), the NRC notified all licensees and construction permit holders that the staff is conducting in-office and onsite audits of their responses to Order EA-12-051 in accordance with NRC NRR Office Instruction LIC-111, as discussed above.
The ongoing audit process, to include the in-office and onsite portions, allows the staff to assess whether it has enough information to make a safety evaluation of the Integrated Plans. The audit allows the staff to review open and confirmatory items from the mitigation strategies ISE, RAI responses from the spent fuel pool instrumentation ISE, the licensee's integrated plans, and other audit questions. Additionally, the staff gains a better understanding of submitted information, identifies additional information necessary for the licensee to supplement its plan, and identifies any staff potential concerns. The audit's onsite portion will occur prior to declarations of compliance for the first unit at each site.

Audit Plan Waterford Steam Electric Station, Unit 3 BACKGROUND AND AUDIT BASIS On March 12, 2012, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) issued Order EA-12-049, "Order Modifying Licenses with Regard to Requirements for Mitigation Strategies for Beyond Design-Basis External Events" and Order EA-12-051, "Order to Modify Licenses With Regard To Reliable Spent Fuel Pool Instrumentation," (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession Nos. ML12054A736 and ML12054A679, respectively). Order EA-12-049 directs licensees to develop, implement, and maintain guidance and strategies to maintain or restore core cooling, containment, and spent fuel pool (SFP) cooling capabilities in the event of a beyond-design-basis external event (BDBEE). Order EA-12-051 requires, in part, that all operating reactor sites have a reliable means of remotely monitoring wide-range SFP levels to support effective prioritization of event mitigation and recovery actions in the event of a BDBEE. The orders require holders of operating reactor licenses and construction permits issued under Title 1O of the Code of Federal Regulations Part 50 to submit for review, Overall Integrated Plans (OIPs) including descriptions of how compliance with the requirements of Attachment 2 of each order will be achieved.
By letter dated February 28, 2013 (ADAMS Accession No. ML13063A266), Entergy Operations, Inc. (Entergy, the licensee), submitted its OIP for Waterford Steam Electric Station, Unit 3 (Waterford), in response to Order EA-12-049. By letters dated August 28, 2013, February 28, 2014, August 28, 2014, and February 26, 2015 (ADAMS Accession Nos. ML13241A281, ML14059A085, ML14241A270, and ML15057A548, respectively), Entergy submitted its first four successive six-month updates to the OIP. By letter dated August 28, 2013 (ADAMS Accession No. ML13234A503), the NRC notified all licensees and construction permit holders that the staff is conducting audits of their responses to Order EA 12 049 in accordance with NRC Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation (NRR) Office Instruction UC 111, "Regulatory Audits" (ADAMS Accession No. ML082900195). This audit process led to the issuance of the Waterford interim staff evaluation (ISE) dated November 22, 2013 (ADAMS Accession No. ML13220A402), and continues with in-office and onsite portions of this audit.
By letter dated February 28, 2013 (ADAMS Accession No. ML13063A263), the licensee submitted its OIP for Waterford, in response to Order EA-12-051. By e-mail dated August 28, 2013 (ADAMS Accession No. ML13246A318), the NRC staff sent a request for additional information (RAI) to the licensee. By letters dated August 28, 2013, September 26, 2013, February 28, 2014, August 28, 2014, and February 26, 2015 (ADAMS Accession Nos.
ML13241A280, ML13273A013, ML14059A087, ML14247A294, and ML15057A555, respectively), the licensee submitted its RAI responses and first four successive six-month updates to the OIP. The NRC staff's review to date led to the issuance of the Waterford ISE and RAI dated November 25, 2013 (ADAMS Accession No. ML13312A787). By letter dated March 26, 2014 (ADAMS Accession No. ML14083A620), the NRC notified all licensees and construction permit holders that the staff is conducting in-office and onsite audits of their responses to Order EA 12 051 in accordance with NRC NRR Office Instruction LIC-111, as discussed above.
Enclosure
The ongoing audit process, to include the in-office and onsite portions, allows the staff to assess whether it has enough information to make a safety evaluation of the Integrated Plans. The audit allows the staff to review open and confirmatory items from the mitigation strategies ISE, RAI responses from the spent fuel pool instrumentation (SFPI) ISE, the licensee's integrated plans, and other audit questions. Additionally, the staff gains a better understanding of submitted information, identifies additional information necessary for the licensee to supplement its plan, and identifies any staff potential concerns. The audit's onsite portion will occur prior to declarations of compliance for the first unit at each site.
This document outlines the onsite audit process that occurs after ISE issuance as licensees provide new or updated information via periodic updates, update audit information on e-portals, provide preliminary Overall Program Documents (OPDs)/Final Integrated Plans (FIPs), and continue in-office audit communications with staff while proceeding towards compliance with the orders.
Following the licensee's declarations of order compliance, the NRC staff will evaluate the OIPs, as supplemented, the resulting site-specific OPDs/FIPs, and, as appropriate, other licensee submittals based on the requirements in the orders. For Order EA-12-049, the staff will make a safety determination regarding order compliance using the Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI) guidance document NEI 12-06, "Diverse and Flexible Coping Strategies (FLEX) Implementation Guide" issued in August, 2012 (ADAMS Accession No. ML12242A378), as endorsed, by NRC Japan Lessons-Learned Directorate (JLD) interim staff guidance (ISG) JLD-ISG-2012-01 "Compliance with Order EA-12-049, 'Order Modifying Licenses with Regard to Requirements for Mitigation Strategies for Beyond-Design-Basis External Events"' (ADAMS Accession No. ML12229A174) as providing one acceptable means of meeting the order requirements. For Order EA-12-051, the staff will make a safety determination regarding order compliance using the NEI guidance document NEI 12-02, "Industry Guidance for Compliance with NRC Order EA-12-051, 'To Modify Licenses with Regard to Reliable Spent Fuel Pool Instrumentation"' (ADAMS Accession No. ML12240A307), as endorsed, with exceptions and clarifications, by NRC ISG JLD-ISG-2012-03 "Compliance with Order EA-12-051, 'Reliable Spent Fuel Pool Instrumentation'" (ADAMS Accession No. ML12221A339), as providing one acceptable means of meeting the order requirements. Should the licensee propose an alternative strategy or other method deviating from the guidance, additional staff review will be required to evaluate if the alternative strategy complies with the applicable order.
AUDIT SCOPE As discussed, onsite audits will be performed per NRR Office Instruction LIC-111, to support the development of the safety evaluations.
The purpose of the audits is to (1) obtain and review information responsive to the Waterford OIPs, as supplemented, (2) review open and confirmatory items from the mitigation strategies ISE, (3) review RAI responses from the SFPI ISE, and (4) to observe and gain a better understanding of the basis for the site's overall programs to ensure the licensee is on the correct path for compliance with the Mitigation Strategies and SFPI orders. These may include, but are not limited to:
- Onsite review and discussion for the basis and approach for detailed analysis and calculations (Orders EA-12-049, EA-12-051);
- Walk-throughs of strategies and laydown of equipment to assess feasibility, timing, and effectiveness of a given mitigating strategy or integration of several strategies (Order EA-12-049);
