SOUTH TEXAS PROJECT UNIT 1 (STP) - PLAN FOR THE REGULATORY AUDIT REGARDING LICENSE AMENDMENT REQUEST TO REVISE TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION 5.3.2 TO ALLOW OPERATION WITH 56 FULL-LENGTH CONTROL ROD ASSEMBLIES FOR UNIT 1 (CAC NO. MF7577)
Dear Mr. Connolly:
By letter dated April 7th, 2016 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System Accession No. ML16110A297), as supplemented by letter dated MONTH, DATE, YEAR (MLXXXXXXXX), South Texas Project Nuclear Operating Company, the licensee for South Texas Project Unit 1, requests to revise the licensing bases to allow operation with 56 full-length control rod assemblies.
The NRC staff has determined that a regulatory audit of the South Texas Project Unit 1 LAR should be conducted in accordance with the NRR Office Instruction LIC-111, Regulatory Audits, for the NRC staff to gain a better understanding of the licensees supporting calculations and bases documents for the LAR.
A regulatory audit is a planned, license or regulation-related activity that includes the examination and evaluation of primarily non-docketed information. A regulatory audit is conducted with the intent to gain understanding, to verify information, and/or to identify information that will require docketing to support the basis of the licensing or regulatory decision. Performing a regulatory audit of the licensees information is expected to assist the NRC staff in efficiently conducting its technical review or gain insights on the licensees processes or procedures. Information that the NRC staff relies upon to make the safety determination must be submitted on the docket. However, there may be supporting information retained as records under 10 CFR 50.71 maintenance of records, making of reports and/or 10 CFR 54.37 additional records and record-keeping requirements that, although not required to be submitted as part of the licensing action, would help the NRC staff better understand the licensees submitted information.
J. Connolly If you have any questions, please contact me by telephone at 301-415-1906 or by e-mail at lisa.regner@nrc.gov.

Audit Plan South Texas Project Unit 1
- 1. Background By letter dated April 7th, 2016 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System Accession No. ML16110A297), as supplemented by letter dated MONTH, DATE, YEAR (MLXXXXXXXX), South Texas Project Nuclear Operating Company (STPNOC), submitted a license amendment request (LAR) for South Texas Project, Unit 1 (STP), to revise the licensing bases to allow operation with 56 full-length control rod assemblies.
The NRC staff has determined that a regulatory audit of the STPNOC LAR should be conducted in accordance with the NRR Office Instruction LIC-111, Regulatory Audits, for the NRC staff to gain a better understanding of the licensees supporting calculations and other bases documents for the LAR and various supporting information, processes, and procedures.
- 2. Regulatory Audit Bases The basis of this audit is the LAR provided by STPNOC for the allowance of operation with 56 full-length control rod assemblies for STP Unit 1 and 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix A, General Design Criteria.
- 3. Regulatory Audit Scope The scope of this audit will differ slightly from traditional audits. In an effort to increase efficiency in NRC staff reviews, the Division of Safety Systems has been promoting the use of regulatory audits at a relatively early point in the review process. The purpose of these audits is to enable the NRC staff to come to a better understanding of the material presented for review by allowing the NRC staff chances to discuss the material with the appropriate authors of the various submittals.
- 4. Information Needs STP should make available personnel who have intimate knowledge of the LAR and the UFSAR Chapter 15 bounding analyses. This may include site staff and contractors, if appropriate, accessible upon request (either in person or by phone). The personnel should be able to respond promptly to NRC staff questions.
The licensee is requested to have appropriate documentation used in the creation of the LAR available on site for the audit team. The documentation could be provided electronically or by paper copies. If provided electronically, the licensee is requested to have at least two computers available for the audit team, with a printer attached.
- Cycle 20 Reload Documentation o Design Initialization (DI) Meeting Minutes o Reload Safety Analysis Checklist (RSAC) Transmittals Attachment
o RSAC Violations o Reload Safety Evaluation (RSES) for each safety analysis group Additional information needs identified during the audit will be communicated to the designated point of contact.

Technical Reviewer Joshua Borromeo (NRC)
Technical Reviewer Joshua Kaizer (NRC)
Technical Reviewer Ian Tseng (NRC)
Senior Technical Reviewer George Thomas (NRC)
Senior Project Manager Lisa Regner (NRC)
- 6. Logistics The audit will be conducted at the Westinghouse Offices in Rockville, MD, on June 28 - 30, 2016. Entrance and exit briefings will be held at the beginning and end of this audit, respectively. The licensee is requested to provide a room, which has a white board and if necessary two computers with an attached printer, for the use by the audit team. A more detailed, proposed, audit schedule is attached.
- 7. Deliverables An audit report/summary will be issued to the licensee within approximately 90 days from the exit date of the audit. Additionally, the results of the audit will be utilized to focus the scope of any requests for additional information issued in the course of this review.
