DISCUSSION TOPICS FOR MARCH 19, 2020 FOURTH PARTIALLY CLOSED PUBLIC MEETING REGARDING A PLANNED LICENSE AMENDMENT REQUEST TO INSTALL A DIGITAL MODIFICATION TO CPC AND CEAC SYSTEMS ENTERGY OPERATIONS, INC.

WATERFORD STEAM ELECTRIC STATION, UNIT 3

1. Update on the Project Milestones.

2. Proposed Technical Specification changes:

a. Surveillance revisions: Crediting self-diagnostics to eliminate COTs. Description of the periodic verification of the self-diagnostics performance, and commitments to perform this periodic verification.

b. Other TS changes not identified in the previous pre-application meetings.

3. Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA)/ Failure Modes, Effects and Diagnostic Analysis (FMEDA) -

Clarify the differences between these 2 documents, which ones will be submitted in the LAR, and how the LAR relies on them.

4. Vendor Oversight Plan (VOP) - Description of how the VOP addresses the key areas of software development activities. The staff review of the VOP Summary, and audit of the VOP, would likely be focused on establishing confidence that the licensee is sufficiently addressing the key areas of software development in their on-going and future oversight of software development, implementation, integration and testing of the system. For reference, the staff identified in a past Inspection Workshop during ISG-06 development, the key review elements in sections B.3.2 and B.3.3. of Branch Technical Position BTP 7-14 that could be our licensing review/inspection focus areas. See the meeting summary and attachment from the November 15, 2018, Inspection Workshop (ADAMS Accession Nos.

c. and Site Acceptance Test (SAT) Procedure.

6. Other follow-up questions:
