SUBJECT:
UPDATED INSPECTION PLAN FOR WATERFORD STEAM ELECTRIC STATION, UNIT 3 (REPORT 05000382/2020005)
Dear Mr. Ferrick:
The enclosed inspection plan lists the inspections scheduled through June 30, 2022, for Waterford Steam Electric Station, Unit 3. The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC)
provides the inspection plan to allow for the resolution of any scheduling conflicts and personnel availability issues. Routine inspections performed by resident inspectors are not included in the inspection plan. You should be aware that the agency is pursuing potential changes to the Reactor Oversight Process (ROP), including changes to engineering inspections (SECY-18-0113, Recommendations for Modifying the Reactor Oversight Process Engineering Inspections), and other changes to the baseline inspection program described in SECY-19-0067, Recommendations for Enhancing the Reactor Oversight Process. Should these changes to the ROP be implemented, the engineering and other region-based inspections are subject to change in scope, as well as schedule. The inspections listed during the last 12 months of the inspection plan are tentative and may be revised. The NRC will contact you as soon as possible to discuss changes to the inspection plan should circumstances warrant any changes.
In response to the COVID-19 public health emergency (PHE), the NRC is adjusting inspection plans and schedules in order to safeguard the health and safety of both NRC and licensee staff while still effectively implementing the ROP. Each planned inspection is being carefully reviewed in order to determine if any portions of the inspection can be performed remotely, determine how best to perform on-site portions to minimize personnel health risks, and adjust inspection schedules if needed. This is done in accordance with guidance contained in the May 28, 2020, memorandum, Inspection Guidance During Transition From COVID-19 Mandatory Telework (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS)
Accession Number ML20141L766). For inspections requiring extensive coordination with offsite organizations, such as evaluated emergency preparedness exercises, NRC guidance and frequently asked questions for security and emergency preparedness can be found here:
https://www.nrc.gov/about-nrc/covid-19/security-ep/. Similarly, the NRC has developed guidance if force-on-force inspections cannot be completed as scheduled due to an emergency, such as the COVID-19 PHE. These changes help ensure the health and safety of both NRC and licensee staff while maintaining the NRCs important safety and security mission during the COVID-19 PHE. The attached inspection plan is accurate on the date of issuance, but remains subject to change based on approval of potential exemption requests or other changes needed due to changing conditions in the COVID-19 PHE. NRC staff will contact your appropriate regulatory affairs staff in order to coordinate inspection planning and scheduling.
On March 12, 2018, the NRC issued a Confirmatory Order (ADAMS Accession Number ML18072A191) (EA-17-132 and EA-17-153), to the Entergy fleet that included Waterford Steam Electric Station, Unit 3. The Confirmatory Order was associated with nonlicensed operators deliberately failing to tour all required areas and deliberately entering inaccurate information into the operating logs. On April 5, 2019, the NRC issued Waterford two Severity Level III violations for similar occurrences (ADAMS Accession Number ML19095B573). The NRC conducted a Confirmatory Order follow-up inspection at Entergy Corporate Headquarters in Jackson, MS, on January 21, 2020, and the results are documented in report number 05000382/2020011 (ADAMS Accession Number ML20086J157) for the actions required to be completed by the end of calendar year 2019, this was done in accordance with Inspection Procedure 92702, Followup on Traditional Enforcement Actions Including Violations, Deviations, Confirmatory Action Letters, Confirmatory Orders, And Alternative Dispute Resolution Confirmatory Orders.
The NRC plans to conduct additional follow-up inspections of the remaining open Confirmatory Order actions required to be completed by Entergy. The NRC will coordinate with Entergy to schedule these inspection activities.
The NRC will also be performing baseline inspections of licensee cyber security programs. The specific schedule and procedure to be used for these inspections are being developed by the NRC staff. The staff expects to communicate the schedule for these inspections to each utility separately.
In accordance with Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) 2.390 of the NRCs Rules of Practice, a copy of this letter will be available electronically for public inspection in the NRC Public Document Room or from the Publicly Available Records (PARS) component of NRC's document system (ADAMS). ADAMS is accessible from the NRC Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html (the Public Electronic Reading Room).
