- 10/30/2015; Donald C. Cook Nuclear Power Plant, Units 1 and 2; Baseline Emergency Preparedness Biennial Exercise Inspection This report covers a 1-week period of announced baseline inspection by four regional inspectors
. The significance of most findings is indicated by their color (e.g., Green, White, Yellow, Red) using Inspection Manual Chapter 0609, "Significance Determination Process (SDP)". Findings for which the SDP does not apply may be Green
, or be assigned a severity level after U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) management review The NRC's program for overseeing the safe operation of commercial nuclear power reactors is described in NUREG-1649, "Reactor Oversight Process," Revision 5, dated February 2014.

REPORT DETAILS
1. R EACTOR SAFETY
Cornerstone:
1EP 1 Exercise Evaluation
(71114.01)
.1 Exercise Evaluation
a. Inspection Scope
The inspectors reviewed the October 27, 2015, biennial emergency preparedness exercise's objectives and scenario to ensure that the exercise would acceptably test major elements of the licensee's emergency plan
, and to verify that the exercise's simulated problems provided an acceptable framework to support demonstration of the licensee's capability to implement its plan. The inspectors also reviewed records of other drills and exercises conducted in 2013 and 2014
, to verify that those drills' scenarios were sufficiently different from the scenario used in the October 27, 2015
, exercise.
The inspectors evaluated the licensee's exercise performance, focusing on the risk-significant activities of emergency classification, notification, and protective action decision making, implementation of accident mitigation strategies, and correction of past exercise weaknesses in the following emergency response facilities:
Control Room Simulator (CRS
); Technical Support Center (TSC);
Operations Support Center (OSC); and Emergency Operations Facility (EOF).
The inspectors also assessed the licensee's recognition of abnormal plant conditions, transfer of responsibilities between facilities, internal communications, interfaces with offsite officials, readiness of emergency facilities and related equipment, and overall implementation of the licensee's emergency plan.
The inspectors attended post
-exercise critiques in the CRS, TSC, OSC, and EO F to evaluate the licensee's initial self
-assessment of its exercise performance. The inspectors later met with the licensee's lead exercise evaluators and managers to obtain the licensee's findings and assessments of its exercise participants' performances. These sel f-assessments were then compared with the inspectors' independent observations and assessments to assess the licensee's ability to adequately critique its exercise performance. Documents reviewed are listed in the Attachment to this report.
This exercise evaluation inspection constituted one sample as defined in Inspection Procedure (IP) 71114.01
-06.
b. Findings
No findings were identified.
4 1EP8 Exercise Evaluation
- Scenario Review (71114.08)
a. Inspection Scope
Prior to the inspection activity o nsite, the inspectors conducted an in
-office review of the exercise objectives and scenarios submitted to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission using IP 71114.08, "Exercise Evaluation
- Scenario Review," to determine if the exercise would test major elements of the Emergency Plan as required by Title 10 , Code of Federal Regulations, Part 50.47(b)(14). Documents reviewed are listed in the Attachment to this report.
This review of the exercise objectives and scenario constituted one inspection sample as defined in IP 71114.08.
b. Findings
No findings were identified.
OTHER ACTIVITIES
Cornerstone:
4OA1 Performance Indicator Verification
(71151)
.1 Drill/Exercise Performance
a. Inspection Scope
The inspectors sampled licensee submittals for the Drill/Exercise Performance Indicator (PI) for the period from the second quarter 2014 through third quarter 2015. To determine the accuracy of the PI data reported during those periods, PI definitions and guidance contained in the Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI) Document 99
-02, "Regulatory Assessment Performance Indicator Guideline," Revision 6, were used. The inspectors reviewed the licensee's records associated with the PI to verify that the licensee accurately reported the indicator in accordance with relevant procedures and the NEI guidance. Specifically, the inspectors reviewed licensee records and processes including procedural guidance on assessing opportunities for the PI; assessments of PI opportunities during pre
-designated control room simulator training sessions, and performance during other drills. Documents reviewed are listed in the Attachment to this report. This inspection constituted one drill/exercise performance sample as defined in
IP 71151-05.
b. Findings
No findings were identified.
.2 Emergency Response Organization Drill Participation
a. Inspection Scope
The inspectors sampled licensee submittals for the Emergency Response Organization (ERO) Drill Participation PI for the period from the second quarter 2014 through third quarter 2015. To determine the accuracy of the PI data reported during those periods, PI definitions and guidance contained in the NEI Document 99
-02, "Regulatory Assessment Performance Indicator Guideline," Revision 6, were used. The inspectors reviewed the licensee's records associated with the PI to verify that the licensee accurately reported the indicator in accordance with relevant procedures and the NEI guidance. Specifically, the inspectors reviewed licensee records and processes including procedural guidance on assessing opportunities for the PI; performance during the 20 14 and 2015 exercises and drills; and revisions of the roster of personnel assigned to key emergency response organization positions. Documents reviewed are listed in the Attachment to this report.
This inspection constituted one ERO drill participation sample as defined in IP 71151-05.
b. Findings
No findings were identified.
.3 Alert and Notification System
a. Inspection Scope
The inspectors sampled licensee submittals for the Alert and Notification System (ANS) PI for the period from the second quarter 2014 through third quarter 2015. To determine the accuracy of the PI data reported during those periods, PI definitions and guidance contained in the NEI Document 99
-02, "Regulatory Assessment Performance Indicator Guideline," Revision 6, were used. The inspectors reviewed the licensee's records associated with the PI to verify that the licensee accurately reported the indicator in accordance with relevant procedures and the NEI guidance. Specifically, the inspectors reviewed licensee records and processes including procedural guidance on assessing opportunities for the PI and results of periodic scheduled ANS operability tests. Documents reviewed are listed in the Attachment to this report.
This inspection constituted one ANS sample as defined in IP 71151-05.
b. Findings
No findings were identified.
4OA6 Management Meetings
.1 Exit Meeting Summary
O n October 30, 2015, the inspector s presented the biennial exercise inspection results to you and other members of the licensee staff. The licensee acknowledged the issues presented. The inspectors confirmed that none of the potential report input discussed was considered proprietary.
