NRC INSPECTION MANUAL IRIB INSPECTION MANUAL CHAPTER 2515 APPENDIX C SPECIAL AND INFREQUENTLY PERFORMED INSPECTIONS Effective Date: 1/1/2021 This appendix lists inspection procedures that are implemented infrequently for special situations. These inspections may be implemented in response to events, infrequent major activities at nuclear power plants, to evaluate emergent technical issues not related to licensee performance, to fulfill NRCs obligations under domestic interagency memoranda of understanding, or to implement the requirements of 10 CFR Part 75 for treaties between the United States and the International Atomic Energy Agency.
These inspections are not part of the baseline or supplemental inspection program elements and Regional Administrator authorization is required to charge inspection hours to any of the listed inspection procedures below. To provide for adequate documentation of agency business consistent with 36 CFR 1222.22, the Regional Administrators authorization shall be annotated in an Official Agency Record that either approves or documents any inspection implemented using this Appendix.
Non-baseline inspection used to address deficient licensee performance is supplemental inspection and shall be addressed under IMC 2515 Appendix B, Supplemental Inspection Program.
Each inspection procedure in the table below will be reviewed in accordance with the periodicity and process specified in Inspection Manual Chapter (IMC) 0040, Preparing, Revising and Issuing Documents for the NRC Inspection Manual. IMC 0307, Appendix A, Reactor Oversight Process Self-Assessment Metrics and Data Trending is used to assess the conduct of this review. [C1]
