SUMMARY
Inspection Report (IR) 05000261/2015502; 7/20/2015 - 7/24/2015; H.B. Robinson Steam Electric Plant, Unit 2; Exercise and Baseline Inspection This report covers an announced inspection by two emergency preparedness inspectors, one senior operations engineer, and one senior health physicist. No findings of significance were identified. The NRCs program for overseeing the safe operation of commercial nuclear power reactors is described in NUREG-1649, Reactor Oversight Process.
REPORT DETAILS
- 1.
REACTOR SAFETY Cornerstone: Emergency Preparedness 1EP1 Exercise Evaluation
- a.
Inspection Scope The onsite inspection consisted of the following review and assessment:
The adequacy of the licensees performance in the biennial exercise, conducted on July 21, 2015, was reviewed and assessed regarding the implementation of the Risk Significant Planning Standards (RSPS) in 10 CFR 50.47(b)(4), (5), (9), and (10);
which address emergency classification, offsite notification, radiological assessment, and protective action recommendations, respectively.
The overall adequacy of the licensees emergency response facilities (ERF) with regard to NUREG-0696, Functional Criteria for Emergency Response Facilities, and Emergency Plan commitments. The facilities assessed were the Control Room Simulator, Technical Support Center (TSC), Operations Support Center (OSC), and Emergency Operations Facility (EOF).
Other performance areas, such as the emergency response organizations (ERO) recognition of abnormal plant conditions; command and control, intra-and inter-facility communications; prioritization of mitigation activities; utilization of repair and field monitoring teams; interface with offsite agencies; and the overall implementation of the emergency plan and its implementing procedures.
Past performance issues from NRC inspection reports and Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA)/Department of Homeland Security (DHS) exercise reports to determine the effectiveness of corrective actions as demonstrated during this exercise to ensure compliance with 10 CFR 50.47(b)(14).
The post-exercise critique process and the presentation to the licensee's senior management conducted on July 23, 2015, to evaluate the licensees self-assessment of its ERO performance during the exercise, and to ensure compliance with 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix E, Subsection IV.F.2.g.
The inspectors reviewed various documents, which are listed in the Attachment to this report. This inspection activity satisfied one inspection sample for the exercise evaluation on a biennial basis.
- b.
Findings No findings were identified.
1EP4 Emergency Action Level and Emergency Plan Changes
- a.
Inspection Scope Since the last NRC inspection of this program area, multiple revisions have been made to the Radiological Emergency Plan and its implementing procedures. The licensee determined that, in accordance with 10 CFR 50.54(q), the Plan continued to meet the requirements of 10 CFR 50.47(b), and Appendix E to 10 CFR Part 50. The inspectors reviewed the Emergency Plan changes, and sampled implementing procedure changes made between July 2014 and July 2015, to evaluate for potential reductions in the effectiveness of the Plan. As this review was not documented in a Safety Evaluation Report, and does not constitute formal NRC approval of the changes, these changes remain subject to future NRC inspection in their entirety.
The inspection was conducted in accordance with NRC Inspection Procedure (IP) 71114, Attachment 04, Emergency Action Level and Emergency Plan Changes. The applicable planning standards of 10 CFR 50.47(b), and its related requirements in 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix E, were used as reference criteria.
The inspectors reviewed various documents, which are listed in the Attachment to this report. This inspection activity satisfied one inspection sample for the emergency action level (EAL) and emergency plan changes on an annual basis.
- b.
Findings No findings were identified.
1EP8 Exercise Evaluation - Scenario Review
- a.
Inspection Scope Prior to the inspection activity, the inspectors conducted an in-office review of the exercise objectives and scenario submitted to the NRC using IP 71114.08, Exercise Evaluation - Scenario Review, to determine if the exercise would test major elements of the emergency plan as required by 10 CFR 50.47(b)(14).
The inspectors reviewed various documents, which are listed in the Attachment to this report. This inspection activity satisfied one inspection sample for the exercise valuation on a biennial basis.
- b.
Findings No findings were identified.
- 4.
OTHER ACTIVITIES 4OA1 Performance Indicator Verification
- a.
Inspection Scope The inspectors sampled licensee submittals relative to the performance indicators (PIs) listed below for the period April 1, 2014, through March 31, 2015. To verify the accuracy of the PI data reported during that period, PI definitions and guidance contained in Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI) 99-02, Regulatory Assessment Performance Indicator Guideline, Revision 7, was used to confirm the reporting basis for each data element.
Emergency Preparedness Cornerstone ERO Drill/Exercise Performance (DEP)
ERO Readiness Alert Notification System (ANS) Reliability For the specified review period, the inspectors examined data reported to the NRC, procedural guidance for reporting PI information, and records used by the licensee to identify potential PI occurrences. The inspectors verified the accuracy of the PIs for ERO and DEP through review of a sample of drill and event records. The inspectors reviewed selected training records to verify the accuracy of the PI for ERO drill participation for personnel assigned to key positions in the ERO. The inspectors verified the accuracy of the PI for ANS reliability through review of a sample of the licensees records of periodic system tests. The inspectors also interviewed the licensee personnel who were responsible for collecting and evaluating the PI data. Licensee procedures, records, and other documents reviewed within this inspection area, are listed in the Attachment.
This inspection satisfied three inspection samples for PI verification on an annual basis.
- b.
Findings No findings were identified.
4OA6 Meetings, Including Exit On July 23, 2015, the inspection team presented the inspection results to Mr. R. Glover and other members of the plant staff. The inspectors confirmed that no proprietary information was provided during the inspection.
