V. Hall Summary of Meeting:

The NRC staff provided SNC with the draft Memorandum on Transition to Reactor Oversight Process (ROP) for Vogtle Units 3 and 4 (ADAMS Accession No. ML20210M222), for discussion.

The NRC began the discussion by providing a brief overview of the transition of Units 3 and 4 from the construction reactor oversight process (cROP) to the ROP and a brief summary of the draft memorandum. The NRC staff and SNC discussed the following topics regarding the draft memorandum:

  • Integrated Inspection Plan for Vogtle Units 1 4 (Enclosure 2 of the draft memorandum)
  • NRC staff will evaluate clarification of the term commercial operation on page 2 of the memorandum

NRC staff explained it will not count greater-than-green inspection findings remaining open at the 10 CFR 52.103(g) determination subsequently mapped to the initiating events, mitigating systems, or barrier integrity ROP cornerstones as Action Matrix inputs because the basis for the safety significance for construction findings is different than that for operational findings

  • NRC staff will evaluate clarification that not all inspections are on-site inspections due to the COVID-19 pandemic circumstances (page 4 of the memorandum)
  • NRC staff mentioned the biennial and triennial cycle inspections described on page 8 of the memorandum represent the current schedules. However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic situation, the schedule is fluid and changes will be communicated to SNC when appropriate.

At the conclusion of the discussion, there was an opportunity for the public to provide comments and ask questions. There was one question from the public asked by Yan Peng, and NRC responded explaining the performance assessment process.
