1.0 INTRODUCTION
By letter dated July 30, 2021 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML21214A125), NextEra Energy Duane Arnold, LLC (NEDA) submitted for the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staffs review, a proposed Revision 0 of the Decommissioning Quality Assurance Program (DQAP) for the Duane Arnold Energy Center (DAEC), in accordance with the provisions of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) 50.54(a)(4). The proposed DQAP is based on the NRC-approved Duane Arnold Quality Assurance Topical Report (QATR) FPL3. QATR FPL3 will no longer be effective at DAEC following approval and implementation of the DQAP.
NEDA conducted a comparison of the DAEC DQAP to the current QATR FPL3 and concluded that the proposed changes result in a reduction in commitment from the current QATR in use at DAEC, and therefore require NRC approval prior to implementation. The NRC requested additional information regarding the DAEC DQAP by letter dated March 22, 2022 (ML22080A182). NEDA submitted its response in a letter dated April 13, 2022 (ML22103A056),
and revised the response by letter dated April 26, 2022 (ML22116A078).
The DAEC DQAP provides a top-level overview of the Quality Assurance (QA) program controls applied to quality related items and activities at DAEC during decommissioning. The DQAP is based on the applicable portions of Appendix B, Quality Assurance Criteria for Nuclear Power Plants and Fuel Reprocessing Plants, to 10 CFR Part 50, Domestic Licensing of Production and Utilization Facilities; 10 CFR Part 71, Packaging and Transportation of Radioactive Material, Subpart H, Quality Assurance; and 10 CFR Part 72, Licensing Requirements for the Independent Storage of Spent Nuclear Fuel, High-Level Radioactive Waste, and Reactor-Related Greater than Class C Waste, Subpart G, Quality Assurance.
2.0 REGULATORY BASIS The NRCs regulatory requirements related to QA programs are set forth in Appendix B to 10 CFR Part 50 (Appendix B), 10 CFR 50.34(b)(6)(ii), and 10 CFR 50.54(a). In addition, the NRCs regulatory requirements related to QA programs for the independent storage of spent Enclosure
nuclear fuel and packaging and transportation of radioactive material are addressed in 10 CFR Part 71, Subpart H, and 10 CFR Part 72, Subpart G.
Appendix B establishes the requirements for the design, fabrication, construction and testing of structures, systems, and components (SSCs) for the facility. The pertinent requirements of Appendix B apply to all activities affecting the safety-related functions of those SSCs and include designing, purchasing, fabricating, handling, shipping, storing, cleaning, erecting, installing, inspecting, testing, operating, maintaining, repairing, refueling, and modifying.
The regulations in 10 CFR 50.34, Content of applications; technical information, require that every applicant for an operating license include information in its Final Safety Analysis Report (FSAR) on the managerial and administrative controls to be used to ensure safe operation. The information on the controls shall also include a discussion on how the applicable requirements of Appendix B to 10 CFR Part 50 will be satisfied.
The regulations in (1) 10 CFR 50.54 require each powerplant subject to the requirements of Appendix B to implement a QA program; and (2) 10 CFR 50.54(a)(4) require licensees to submit to the NRC any changes to their QA program that reduce commitments.
The regulations in 10 CFR Part 71, Subpart H, establish the QA requirements applying to design, purchase, fabrication, handling, shipping, storing, cleaning, assembly, inspection, testing, operation, maintenance, repair, and modification of components of packaging that are important-tosafety.
The regulations in 10 CFR Part 72, Subpart G, establish the QA requirements that apply to design, purchase, fabrication, handling, shipping, storing, cleaning, assembly, inspection, testing, operation, maintenance, repair, modification of SSCs, and decommissioning that are important-tosafety.
3.0 TECHNICAL EVALUATION
The request for review and approval of the proposed DAEC DQAP, considered a reduction in commitment, was submitted by letter dated July 30, 2021, in accordance with the provisions of 10 CFR 50.54(a)(4). The letter included Revision 0 of the DQAP (provided in Enclosure 1), as well as a comparison table of the DQAP (provided in Enclosure 2) to the previously NRC-approved QATR FPL3.
In evaluating the adequacy of the DAEC DQAP, the NRC staff used the guidance contained in NUREG1536, Standard Review Plan for Spent Fuel Dry Storage Systems at a General License Facility, Revision 1, and NUREG1757, Volume 1, Consolidated Decommissioning Guidance, Revision 2.
3.1 Organization The DQAP describes and defines the responsibility and authority for planning, establishing, and implementing an effective QA program. The DQAP provides a description of an organizational structure, functional responsibilities, levels of authority, and interfaces for establishing, executing, and verifying DQAP implementation.
The DQAP eliminates the onsite Nuclear QA Manager position and its associated responsibilities as described in Section 1.0 Organization of the DQAP. This is considered a
reduction in commitment since there will no longer be a requirement for a QA Manager permanently stationed at DAEC. Instead, the QA responsibilities are being moved to the corporate level. In the Table of Change, NEDA stated that after all fuel has been transferred to dry storage, activities at the site that would fall under the requirements of the DQAP will be infrequent. The decrease in these types of activities will no longer necessitate the continuous onsite presence of Nuclear Assurance. The corporate Nuclear Assurance organization will be able to provide the necessary oversight of the sites quality assurance program.
Section 1.2 Corporate Organizations of the DQAP states that a management position for Nuclear Oversight reports to the CNO (Chief Nuclear Officer) and is responsible to provide oversight to ensure compliance with the DQAP. Nuclear Oversight maintains a staff of supervisory, administrative, and technical personnel to verify the DQAP is effectively implemented. It further states that Nuclear Oversight personnel shall have sufficient authority and organizational freedom to identify any quality problems and to verify implementation of corrective actions. Additionally, Nuclear Oversight personnel shall have direct access to appropriate levels of management necessary to perform their function and shall be independent from cost and schedule when opposed to quality and safety considerations.
In response to the NRC staffs Request for Additional Information (RAI), Question 1, NEDA also clarified that there are three onsite management positions reporting to the onsite Decommissioning Director for functional responsibilities such as physical security, radiation protection, chemistry, engineering, emergency preparedness, corrective action, and maintenance and modification activities.
NUREG1536, Revision 1, Section 14.5.1, Quality Assurance Organization, and NUREG-1757, Volume 1, Revision 2, Section 17.6.1, Organization, provide guidance on the structure of a QA organization for a decommissioning site. In general, there needs to be measures to designate a position that retains overall authority and responsibility for the QA program. This position should be at the same or a higher organizational level than the position of the highest line manager directly responsible for performing activities affecting quality, such as engineering and procurement, and this position should be sufficiently independent from cost and schedule restraints. The guidance did not specify that this position needs to be an onsite position. For DAEC, this position is the corporate Nuclear Oversight.
Based on the guidance provided in NUREG1536 and NUREG1757, and the reduced scope of activities that affect quality at DAEC after all fuel has been transferred to dry storage, the NRC staff determined that this reduction in commitment request is acceptable and the corporate Nuclear Oversight position is sufficient to provide oversight for the DQAP.
