SUBJECT:
RIVER BEND STATION - NOTIFICATION OF NRC FOLLOW-UP INSPECTION FOR ANY SEVERITY LEVEL I OR II TRADITIONAL ENFORCEMENT VIOLATION OR FOR TWO OR MORE SEVERITY LEVEL III TRADITIONAL ENFORCEMENT VIOLATIONS IN A 12-MONTH PERIOD (92722) AND REQUEST FOR INFORMATION Dear Phil Hansett By letter dated September 30, 2021, (ADAMS ML21272A215), the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) communicated to you the final significance determination of three traditional enforcement violations as Severity Level III (SLIII) at River Bend Station, Unit 1. The violations involved individuals deliberate misconduct associated with the failure to: (A) control of critical digital asset assess keys; (B) ensure a tour of all required non-licensed operator watch station areas was completed; and (C) ensure that training examinations were appropriately proctored.
By letter dated February 5, 2024, we were notified by your staff of Entergys readiness for the NRC to conduct a follow-up inspection to review the actions taken to address the three SLIII violations. Accordingly, we plan to conduct a follow-up inspection, beginning on April 15, 2024, at River Bend Station, Unit 1 using Inspection Procedure 92722, Follow-up Inspection for Any Severity Level I or II Traditional Enforcement Violation or for Two or More Severity Level III Traditional Enforcement Violations in a 12-month Period. This on-site inspection is scheduled to be performed April 15, 2024, through April 19, 2024.
In order to minimize the impact to your on-site resources and to ensure a productive inspection for both organizations, we have enclosed a request for documents needed for this inspection.
The documents identified are those the inspectors will need prior to and upon their arrival on site. It is important that all the documents are up-to-date and complete in order to minimize the number of additional documents requested during the on-site portion of the inspection. To the extent possible, please organize the information as specified in the RFI. Experience has shown that poorly organized files can lead to a less efficient inspection and places additional burden on licensee staff. Secure file server access such as Certrec or SharePoint is preferred.
During the inspection, the inspectors may request additional documents. If there are questions regarding the documents or material requested, or if the documents cannot be provided by the due date, please do not hesitate to contact the lead inspector William Schaup at (817) 200-1184. We have discussed the schedule for these inspection activities with your staff and understand that our regulatory contact for this inspection will be Hayley Kunzli of your organization.
