SUBJECT:
UPDATED INSPECTION PLAN FOR GRAND GULF NUCLEAR STATION (REPORT 05000416/2021005)
Dear Mr. Franssen:
The enclosed inspection plan lists the inspections scheduled through June 30, 2023, for Grand Gulf Nuclear Station. 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.
The inspections listed during the last twelve 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.
Inspection procedure (IP) 71111.21N.03 is included in the plan as a placeholder for your next Design Basis Assurance Inspection (Programs). The NRC is still determining the specific technical area to replace the previously performed power-operated valves programs inspection, IP 71111.21N.02. Once the inspection focus area has been determined, an inspection procedure will be issued publicly at least six months prior to the start of this inspection.
In response to the COVID-19 public health emergency (PHE), the NRC is adjusting inspection plans and schedules to safeguard the health and safety of both NRC and licensee staff while still effectively implementing the Reactor Oversight Process (ROP). Each planned inspection is being carefully reviewed 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 as needed. This review is conducted in accordance with guidance contained in the February 1, 2021, memo, Calendar Year 2021 Inspection Guidance During COVID-19 Telework Restrictions (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML21027A274). 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 to ensure the health and safety of both NRC and licensee staff while fulfilling 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 modifications needed due to changing conditions during the COVID-19 PHE. NRC staff will contact your appropriate regulatory affairs staff to coordinate inspection planning and scheduling.
As a result of the NRCs current assessment of the safety performance of the Grand Gulf Nuclear Station as being in the Degraded Performance column (Column 3) of the NRCs ROP Action Matrix, we are conducting a supplemental inspection at your facility in accordance with Inspection Procedure 95002, Supplemental Inspection for One Degraded Cornerstone or Any Three White Inputs in a Strategic Performance Area. The NRC will continue to coordinate with Entergy regarding this inspection, which is currently in progress.
On March 12, 2018, the NRC issued a Confirmatory Order (ADAMS Accession No.
ML18072A191) (EA-17-132 and EA-17-153) to the Entergy fleet that included the Grand Gulf Nuclear Station. I have approved the staffs plan to conduct a follow-up inspection of Entergys implementation of actions required by the Confirmatory Order actions in accordance with Inspection Procedure 92702, Follow-up on Traditional Enforcement Actions Including Violations, Deviations, Confirmatory Action Letters, Confirmatory Orders, And Alternative Dispute Resolution Confirmatory Orders. The NRC will continue to coordinate with Entergy regarding this inspection.
The NRC will also be performing baseline inspections of licensee cyber security programs. The specific schedule and procedure to be used for these inspections is 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 Agency Rules of Practice and Procedure, 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).
Please contact Mr. Jason Kozal at 817-200-1144 with any questions you have regarding this letter.
Sincerely, Scott A. Morris Regional Administrator
