Oconee Nuclear Station, Units 1, 2 & 3 - 10 CFR 50.59 Inspection Initial Information Request Inspection Procedure: 71111.17T, Evaluation of Changes, Tests, and Experiments, dated January 1, 2017 (ADAMS ML16340A998)

Inspection Dates: August 29 - September 2, 2022 Inspection Report: 05000269/2022011, 05000270/2022011, 05000287/2022011 (Stand-alone Inspection Report)

Inspectors: Teh-Chiun Su (Lead), G. Ottenberg (Mechanical), M. Toth (Mechincal)

The lead inspector will need the information requested (as indicated below) prior to the inspection to ensure that the inspectors are adequately prepared. Please provide the requested information by 08/05/2022. If possible, provide the requested information electronically (i.e.,

Certrec, FTP, DVD/CD, web).

The team will select specific items from the information requested below and submit a second request to the licensee staff by 08/15/2022. The team will request that certain items, as indicated in the second request (i.e. full modification packages), be made searchable and available to the regional office prior to the inspection, no later than 08/22/2022.

Due to the recent COVID-19 pandemic, the NRC is exercising flexibiltiy in performing baseline inspection activities. As such, it is not yet determined if some, all, or none of the inspection team will be present at your facility for the inspection dates above. As the situation changes, I will work with you to determine a course of action that is acceptable to the team and your staff.

Should some or all of the inspection team be present at your site, we would prefer a conference room to work out of, ideally in close proximity to plant engineering. Please set up an entrance meeting for around 2 p.m., on Monday, 08/29/2022. The exit meeting schedule will be determined at a later time. Also, please verify access status of the inspection team members. If you have any questions, feel free to call me at 404-997-4427 or email at Teh-Chiun.Su@nrc.gov.

The requested items below are from, August 2019 until present, unless otherwise specified.

1. List of modifications to systems, structures or components (SSCs) that are permanent and field work completed. (For the purpose of this inspection, modifications include permanent: plant changes, design changes, calculation changes, procedure changes, and set point changes.)

The list should contain the number of the modification, a short description, affected system and unit. If multiple categories/stages of modifications exist, provide a description of the types relative to the coding scheme in your transmittal. Additionally, the list should be categorized by quality level (i.e., safety or non-safety) as well as whether accompanied by a screening or 10 CFR 50.59 evaluation. A query report return-field-set might look like:

Identifier Unit System1 Description Type2 Status3 QA Condition4 50.595 1 e.g. If systems are provided with some type of number or acronym designation, define the systems designation on a separate list or document 2 e.g. Engineering Design/Document Change, Design Change Notice, Test, Experiment, etc.

3 e.g. Closed, Returned to Operation, Void, Partially Completed, Released for Installation, Phase 1 Completed, etc.

4 e.g. Safety Related or Non-Safety Related 5 e.g. Screened Out or Full 10 CFR 50.59 Evaluation
