SUBJECT:
STATUS OF INSPECTIONS, TESTS, ANALYSES, AND ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA CLOSURE, AND INSPECTION AND LICENSING ACTIVITIES FOR VOGTLE ELECTRIC GENERATING PLANT, UNIT 3 The purpose of this memorandum is to inform the Commission of the status of the following activities related to Vogtle Electric Generating Plant, Unit 3: closure of inspections, tests, analyses, and acceptance criteria (ITAAC), inspections related to ITAAC and operational programs, and current licensing activities and any possible impact these activities might have on the timing of the staffs finding under Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) 52.103(g). This memorandum has been made publicly available in the Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS).
Background:
In SECY-13-0033, Allowing Interim Operation under Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations Section 52.103, dated April 4, 2013 (ADAMS Accession No. ML12289A928), the staff proposed that the Commission delegate to the staff the 10 CFR 52.103(g) finding that all ITAAC acceptance criteria are met. Further, the staff stated that its 10 CFR 52.103(g) finding would be based on the ITAAC-related inspection activities performed during construction and the staffs independent ITAAC closure verification activities, which would be summarized in a Basis Document to be enclosed with a paper to the Commission. The Commission approved the staffs recommendation in the Staff Requirements Memorandum, dated July 19, 2013, for SECY-13-0033 (ADAMS Accession No. ML13200A115).
In SECY-06-0114, Description of the Construction Inspection Program for Plants Licensed under 10 CFR Part 52, dated May 13, 2006 (ADAMS Accession No. ML060740479), the staff discussed inspecting the development and implementation of testing programs (i.e., the initial test program) and the other operational programs. The staff committed to inform the Commission of the status of those programs before the anticipated date for loading fuel.
CONTACT: Chris Welch, NRR/VPO 301-415-7000
The Commissioners To support the commitments described above, the staff issued Office Instruction LIC-114, Revision 1, Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) 52.103(g) Finding and Communication Process (ADAMS Accession No. ML20055E096). This office instruction describes the steps for informing the Commission of the status of regulatory activities in the final year of construction under a combined license and the actions the staff must take in support of determining whether to make the 10 CFR 52.103(g) finding. Per LIC-114, this document serves as the initial memorandum to the Commission on the status of ITAAC closure, NRC inspection activities for construction and operational programs, and licensing activities.
Status of ITAAC Completion:
Southern Nuclear Operating Company (the licensee) is required, in accordance with 10 CFR 52.99(c)(1), to notify the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) that the prescribed inspections, tests, and analyses have been performed and the acceptance criteria are met. The staff reviews each of these ITAAC closure notifications (ICNs) to verify that the acceptance criteria are met. The results are then posted on the NRC public Web site https://www.nrc.gov/reactors/new-reactors/new-licensing-files/vog3-icnsr.pdf. As of August 31, 2020, Appendix C to the combined license NPF-91 for Vogtle Electric Generating Plant Unit 3 contains 399 ITAAC; the current status of the staffs ICN verification review is as follows:
- ICNs Verified 142
- ICNs Under Review 3
- ICNs Not Received 254 The staff has reviewed the Uncompleted ITAAC Notification for each ITAAC not yet completed.
These Uncompleted ITAAC Notifications must provide sufficient information to demonstrate that the uncompleted ITAAC will be completed successfully. For each Uncompleted ITAAC Notification, the staff has determined that the licensees methodologies are acceptable to close the associated ITAAC. If the licensee uses the planned methodologies, the ICNs should not differ significantly from the Uncompleted ITAAC Notifications, thereby streamlining the ICN review. In addition, staff are qualified and ready to process the significant number of ICN submittals anticipated within the last 60 days before scheduled fuel load. The NRC currently maintains six dedicated ICN reviewers with approximately two dozen other qualified reviewers available if needed to ensure timely review of ICNs.
The requirements of 10 CFR 52.99(c)(2) specify that after an ICN is submitted, the licensee shall notify the NRC in a timely manner of new information that materially alters the basis for determining that either the inspections, tests, and analyses were performed as required or that the acceptance criteria are met. These are referred to as ITAAC post-closure notifications. As of August 31, 2020, the NRC had received two ITAAC post-closure notifications and verified them to be acceptable. The ITAAC post-closure notifications were associated with ITAAC index numbers 335 and 336 related to construction design changes to increase the height of the turbine building elevations by three feet at each level, the addition of platforms above the operating deck, and the incorporation of the beyond design basis requirement to provide 800 gallons per minute of fire protection system water to be supplied to the spent fuel pool for cooling, heat removal, and inventory makeup.
On August 28, 2020, the licensee notified the NRC (Event Notification 54864) that due to a required design change to the protection and monitoring system to maintain class 1E
The Commissioners separation, ITAAC post-closure notifications will be required for ITAAC index numbers 534 and 538. The licensee plans to submit the ITAAC post-closure notifications within 30 days of correcting the identified condition.
In accordance with the requirements of 10 CFR 52.99(c)(4), the licensee shall notify the NRC that all ITAAC are complete. Consistent with the timeline in LIC-114, Revision 1, the All ITAAC Complete notification will likely be submitted to the NRC within approximately 17 days before the actual fuel load date.
Status of Inspection Activities:
The staff continues to perform inspections of a sample of ITAAC to independently verify the licensees performance of the inspections, tests, and analyses and that the results meet the acceptance criteria. These inspections also verify that the licensee (1) has quality construction programs, processes, and procedures, (2) provides adequate quality assurance oversight of construction activities, and (3) identifies and corrects conditions adverse to quality. A sample of the ICNs was inspected against the associated closure packages to verify the accuracy of the information reported in the ICNs. A comprehensive ITAAC Status Report provides the public with a hyperlink to each NRC inspection report related to a corresponding ITAAC, as well as the corresponding ICN and staff actions responding to the ICN. This report can be found on the NRC public Web site at https://www.nrc.gov/reactors/new-reactors/new-licensing-files/vog3-icnsr.pdf.
Approximately 85 percent of the planned ITAAC inspection workload has been completed. The NRC has 293 planned ITAAC related inspections remaining, representing approximately 2,700 hours0.0081 days <br />0.194 hours <br />0.00116 weeks <br />2.6635e-4 months <br /> of direct inspection workload. The NRC staff continues to closely monitor inspection program implementation and adjustments to our estimates will be based upon licensee performance, lessons learned, and inspection results. Additionally, in anticipation of a significant inspection workload near the end of construction, Region II is conducting multiple planning/readiness meetings with the licensee and Westinghouse Electric Company for ICNs that are scheduled to be submitted within the last 60 days before the anticipated 10 CFR 52.103(g) finding. Region IIs efforts are positioning the NRCs inspectors to be prepared to complete all inspections necessary to support a timely 10 CFR 52.103(g) finding.
NRC staff are also focused on resolving outstanding inspection issues. One ITAAC inspection issue is currently open:
- Noncited Violation 05200025/2016004-02, Failure to Qualify Welding Procedure Specification (WPS) in Accordance with Applicable Code The NRC issued the noncited violation in Inspection Report 2016-004 dated February 13, 2017 (ADAMS Accession No. ML17044A539). Two separate requests for code interpretations were submitted to the American Welding Society code committee related to this noncited violation. The last response by the American Welding Society code committee was issued May 2020. NRC disposition of this issue is in the final stages of concurrence.
The dynamic construction environment and a changing construction schedule pose a challenge for completing ITAAC inspections, especially as the completion of major construction milestones shifts closer to the licensees planned fuel load date. In addition, due to restrictions resulting
The Commissioners from the Federal, state and local response to the COVID-19 public health emergency, the inspection program has been adapted to ensure its effectiveness while helping to protect the health and safety of inspectors. As a result, construction inspectors have primarily conducted inspections remotely during the public health emergency. Inspectors have conducted onsite inspections of ITAAC, the Initial Test Program, and operational programs based on safety significance and the uniqueness or complexity of the construction activity. For example, over the last few months, inspectors have been onsite to inspect portions of the conical roof installation, integrated leak test, and structural integrity test for Unit 3.
To address these challenges, Region II has frequent communications with the licensee to maintain a detailed awareness of their construction schedule to ensure that inspection activities are completed as early as possible and, in many cases, before the ICN submittal. The staff is also leveraging experience in similar inspection areas and is implementing lessons learned to adjust inspection scope and maximize the effectiveness of each inspection. The staffs agility and extensive communications will enable the inspectors to observe enough activities to ensure the licensee is meeting the NRC's regulatory requirements. In addition, Region II management has developed and is maintaining the resources and skill sets needed to complete the planned construction inspections. To mitigate COVID-19s effect on the ITAAC inspection program, Region II formed a Transition Readiness Group to review site and local conditions and determine which onsite inspections are appropriate and the precautionary measures that should be taken to help protect the health and safety of inspectors. These steps support a thorough and robust inspection program that can adapt to changing conditions.
In SECY-05-0197, Review of Operational Programs in a Combined License Application and Generic Emergency Planning Inspections, Tests, Analyses, and Acceptance Criteria, dated October 28, 2005, the staff identified operational programs that are required by regulation, reviewed in a combined license application, and inspected to verify program implementation as described in the final safety analysis report. Chapter 13, Table 13.4-201, Operational Programs Required by NRC Regulations, includes a listing of all the operational programs and their implementation milestones.1 Enclosure 1 of this paper includes a table listing the programs in Table 13.4-201, their implementation milestones, and NRC inspections associated with the implementation of these programs as of August 31, 2020. The 10 CFR 52.103(g) finding is based on verification that the ITAAC, including the emergency planning ITAAC, have been successfully completed; it is not dependent on the inspection of any operational program other than the emergency planning program.
Status of Licensing Activities:
As of August 31, 2020, the NRC has five licensing actions under review for Vogtle Electric Generating Plant Unit 3. Enclosure 2 identifies these proposed licensing actions, the licensees requested completion date, and whether the licensing action is necessary to support the 10 CFR 52.103(g) finding. The staff anticipates completing its review of each licensing action on or before the requested date. In addition, there remains the potential for the licensee to identify the need for additional licensing actions up until the 10 CFR 52.103(g) finding. The Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation through the Vogtle Project Office is in routine communications with the licensees licensing management to remain cognizant of changes that may necessitate additional licensing actions and is maintaining a dedicated team of staff ready to conduct the necessary safety reviews in a timely manner.
1 Table 13-4.201 also includes operational programs implemented during the construction period.
The Commissioners Future Staff Actions:
As stated above, the staff anticipates the licensee will provide the All ITAAC Complete notification approximately 17 days prior to the actual fuel load date. Provided that (1) no ICNs are deficient, (2) no additional inspections are required to address either deficient ICNs or other emergent issues, and (3) there are no other regulatory activities that may prevent the staff from determining that the acceptance criteria are met, the staff will inform the Commission via memorandum of the staffs plan to make the 10 CFR 52.103(g) finding. This memorandum will be sent to the Commission at least three calendar days before the finding is made and will reference a publicly available document summarizing the staffs basis for the finding that all acceptance criteria are met. The staff will also include an updated table describing the current status of operational program inspections.
Once the staff makes the 10 CFR 52.103(g) finding, it will issue a Federal Register notice, as required by 10 CFR 2.106(a)(2), announcing the issuance of the finding and that the licensee is authorized to operate the facility. The staff will also send a letter to the licensee informing it of the finding.
