| *Align on path forward ROP Transition Plan for WBN2 l 2 Assessment NRC's Draft Transition Plan (March 4th public meeting)
| | * Continue the dialogue on NRCs Draft ROP Transition Plan for Watts Bar (WBN) Unit 2 |
| *Assessment conducted in accordance with Inspection Manual Chapter (IMC) 2517 until completion of IMC 2514 inspection program
| | * Align on path forward ROP Transition Plan for WBN2 l 2 |
| *Action Matrix utilized after TVA notified of full transition into the ROP ROP Transition Plan for WBN2 l 3 Assessment Treatment of violations identified prior to implementation of Action Matrix
| | |
| *TVA proposes that violations identified (typically the date of the inspection exit meeting) while the IMC 2517 assessment process is in effect should be characterized and assessed in accordance this Manual Chapter
| | Assessment NRCs Draft Transition Plan (March 4th public meeting) |
| *Any greater than green inspection finding identified after the Action Matrix is implemented should be treated as an input into the Action Matrix ROP Transition Plan for WBN2 l 4 Significance Determination NRC's Draft Transition Plan (March 4th public meeting)
| | * Assessment conducted in accordance with Inspection Manual Chapter (IMC) 2517 until completion of IMC 2514 inspection program |
| *Significance Determination Process (SDP) will be used to characterize inspection findings once cornerstones have been transitioned to the ROP
| | * Action Matrix utilized after TVA notified of full transition into the ROP ROP Transition Plan for WBN2 l 3 |
| *Prior to cornerstones being transitioned into the ROP, violations will be dispositioned in accordance with the Traditional Enforcement Process ROP Transition Plan for WBN2 l 5 Significance Determination
| | |
| *During the March 4th public meeting the NRC staff acknowledged that prior to entering commercial operations, the risk profile for WBN Unit 2 would be lower than an operating nuclear plant
| | Assessment Treatment of violations identified prior to implementation of Action Matrix |
| *TVA proposes that prior to commercial operations the SDP account for the lower risk profile of the plant ROP Transition Plan for WBN2 l 6 Significance Determination Emergency Preparedness
| | * TVA proposes that violations identified (typically the date of the inspection exit meeting) while the IMC 2517 assessment process is in effect should be characterized and assessed in accordance this Manual Chapter |

| *White characterization would not be appropriate for some plant conditions (i.e., prior to plant startup)
| | |
| ROP Transition Plan for WBN2 l 7 Significance Determination Occupational Radiation Safety | | Significance Determination |
| - IMC 0609, Appendix C | | * During the March 4th public meeting the NRC staff acknowledged that prior to entering commercial operations, the risk profile for WBN Unit 2 would be lower than an operating nuclear plant |
| *No impact Public Radiation Safety
| | * TVA proposes that prior to commercial operations the SDP account for the lower risk profile of the plant ROP Transition Plan for WBN2 l 6 |
| - IMC 0609, Appendix D | | |
| *No impact Safeguards
| | Significance Determination Emergency Preparedness - IMC 0609, Appendix B |
| - IMC 0609, Appendix E | | * Failure to implement - no impact |
| *Should account for plant conditions and risk profile of plant (i.e., significance of loss of target set equipment for a plant with low decay heat is less)
| | * Failure to comply should account for plant conditions and risk profile of plant |
| ROP Transition Plan for WBN2 l 8 Significance Determination | | * Example: an inspection finding involving a loss of planning standard (ex. staffing) |
| *Use of other SDP Appendices to inform the characterization of noncompliances within the Traditional Enforcement Process should account for plant conditions and risk profile of plant *Example: an inspection finding associated with a heat removal system (i.e., auxiliary feedwater)
| | * Could be characterized as a White inspection finding |
| *Could be characterized as a greater than Green inspection finding using IMC 0609, Appendix A
| | * White characterization would not be appropriate for some plant conditions (i.e., prior to plant startup) |
| *Greater than Green characterization would not be appropriate for some plant conditions (i.e., low decay heat)
| | ROP Transition Plan for WBN2 l 7 |
| ROP Transition Plan for WBN2 l 9 Mitigating System Performance Index (MSPI) | | |
| NRC Draft Transition Plan Approach (March 4th public meeting) *MSPI for common unit equipment becomes effective when the Mitigating Cornerstone is transition into the ROP *MSPI for Unit 2 specific equipment become valid after four full quarters have elapsed following the transition of the Mitigating Cornerstone into the ROP ROP Transition Plan for WBN2 l 10 MSPI for Common Unit Equipment | | Significance Determination Occupational Radiation Safety - IMC 0609, Appendix C |
| *TVA agrees that these indicators can become valid the first full quarter following the Mitigating Systems Cornerstone being transition into the ROP
| | * No impact Public Radiation Safety - IMC 0609, Appendix D |
| *TVA proposes using Unit 2 specific data (critical hours, unavailability hours, failures, etc.) for each full quarter following the cornerstone being transition into the ROP and using the Unit 1 data for the balance of the 12 quarters *Unit 1 PRA will be used for reporting Unit 1 MSPI and Unit 2 PRA will be used for reporting Unit 2 MSPI ROP Transition Plan for WBN2 l 11 MSPI for Unit 2 Specific Equipment
| | * No impact Safeguards - IMC 0609, Appendix E |
| *Treating MSPI for Unit 2 specific equipment as valid prior to 12 full quarters having elapsed will result in the potential for false positives
| | * Should account for plant conditions and risk profile of plant (i.e., significance of loss of target set equipment for a plant with low decay heat is less) |
| *TVA proposes performing a WBN Unit 2 specific analysis to evaluate the likelihood of false positives to inform the NRC staff's decision on when these indicators should be treated as valid
| | ROP Transition Plan for WBN2 l 8 |
| *TVA plans to complete the WBN Unit 2 specific analysis and be in a position to present the results to the NRC by the end of April ROP Transition Plan for WBN2 l 12 Unit 2 Specific MSPI Analysis Perform a sensitivity study for each MSPI using the following assumptions to determine the number of failures and/or unavailability hours necessary for the indicator to exceed the threshold each quarter between 4 and 12 quarters *Unit 2 PRA will be used
| | |
| *NEI 99-02 values for WBN Unit 1 will be used where Unit 2 values do not exist (i.e., common cause failure)
| | Significance Determination |
| *Data accrual begins the first full quarter following transition of the Mitigating Systems Cornerstone into the ROP ROP Transition Plan for WBN2 l 13 Unit 2 Specific MSPI Analysis
| | * Use of other SDP Appendices to inform the characterization of noncompliances within the Traditional Enforcement Process should account for plant conditions and risk profile of plant |
| *Critical Hours
| | * Example: an inspection finding associated with a heat removal system (i.e., auxiliary feedwater) |
| - 2000 hours per quarter | | * Could be characterized as a greater than Green inspection finding using IMC 0609, Appendix A |
| *Use Unit 1 values adjusted for number of quarters

Reactor Oversight Process (ROP)
Transition Plan for Watts Bar Unit 2 Eugene Cobey Senior Manager New Plant Licensing March 18, 2015
Purpose
- Continue the dialogue on NRCs Draft ROP Transition Plan for Watts Bar (WBN) Unit 2
- Align on path forward ROP Transition Plan for WBN2 l 2
Assessment NRCs Draft Transition Plan (March 4th public meeting)
- Action Matrix utilized after TVA notified of full transition into the ROP ROP Transition Plan for WBN2 l 3
Assessment Treatment of violations identified prior to implementation of Action Matrix
- TVA proposes that violations identified (typically the date of the inspection exit meeting) while the IMC 2517 assessment process is in effect should be characterized and assessed in accordance this Manual Chapter
- Any greater than green inspection finding identified after the Action Matrix is implemented should be treated as an input into the Action Matrix ROP Transition Plan for WBN2 l 4
Significance Determination NRCs Draft Transition Plan (March 4th public meeting)
- Prior to cornerstones being transitioned into the ROP, violations will be dispositioned in accordance with the Traditional Enforcement Process ROP Transition Plan for WBN2 l 5
Significance Determination
- During the March 4th public meeting the NRC staff acknowledged that prior to entering commercial operations, the risk profile for WBN Unit 2 would be lower than an operating nuclear plant
- TVA proposes that prior to commercial operations the SDP account for the lower risk profile of the plant ROP Transition Plan for WBN2 l 6
Significance Determination Emergency Preparedness - IMC 0609, Appendix B
- Failure to implement - no impact
- Failure to comply should account for plant conditions and risk profile of plant
- Example: an inspection finding involving a loss of planning standard (ex. staffing)
- Could be characterized as a White inspection finding
- White characterization would not be appropriate for some plant conditions (i.e., prior to plant startup)
ROP Transition Plan for WBN2 l 7
Significance Determination Occupational Radiation Safety - IMC 0609, Appendix C
- Should account for plant conditions and risk profile of plant (i.e., significance of loss of target set equipment for a plant with low decay heat is less)
ROP Transition Plan for WBN2 l 8
Significance Determination
- Use of other SDP Appendices to inform the characterization of noncompliances within the Traditional Enforcement Process should account for plant conditions and risk profile of plant
- Example: an inspection finding associated with a heat removal system (i.e., auxiliary feedwater)
- Greater than Green characterization would not be appropriate for some plant conditions (i.e., low decay heat)
ROP Transition Plan for WBN2 l 9
Mitigating System Performance Index (MSPI)
NRC Draft Transition Plan Approach (March 4th public meeting)
- MSPI for common unit equipment becomes effective when the Mitigating Cornerstone is transition into the ROP
- MSPI for Unit 2 specific equipment become valid after four full quarters have elapsed following the transition of the Mitigating Cornerstone into the ROP ROP Transition Plan for WBN2 l 10
MSPI for Common Unit Equipment
- TVA agrees that these indicators can become valid the first full quarter following the Mitigating Systems Cornerstone being transition into the ROP
- TVA proposes using Unit 2 specific data (critical hours, unavailability hours, failures, etc.) for each full quarter following the cornerstone being transition into the ROP and using the Unit 1 data for the balance of the 12 quarters
- Unit 1 PRA will be used for reporting Unit 1 MSPI and Unit 2 PRA will be used for reporting Unit 2 MSPI ROP Transition Plan for WBN2 l 11
MSPI for Unit 2 Specific Equipment
- Treating MSPI for Unit 2 specific equipment as valid prior to 12 full quarters having elapsed will result in the potential for false positives
- TVA proposes performing a WBN Unit 2 specific analysis to evaluate the likelihood of false positives to inform the NRC staffs decision on when these indicators should be treated as valid
- TVA plans to complete the WBN Unit 2 specific analysis and be in a position to present the results to the NRC by the end of April ROP Transition Plan for WBN2 l 12
Unit 2 Specific MSPI Analysis Perform a sensitivity study for each MSPI using the following assumptions to determine the number of failures and/or unavailability hours necessary for the indicator to exceed the threshold each quarter between 4 and 12 quarters
- NEI 99-02 values for WBN Unit 1 will be used where Unit 2 values do not exist (i.e., common cause failure)
- Data accrual begins the first full quarter following transition of the Mitigating Systems Cornerstone into the ROP ROP Transition Plan for WBN2 l 13
Unit 2 Specific MSPI Analysis
- Critical Hours - 2000 hours0.0231 days <br />0.556 hours <br />0.00331 weeks <br />7.61e-4 months <br /> per quarter
- Use Unit 1 values adjusted for number of quarters
- Non-test and test run hours
- Non-test and test demands
- Planned and unplanned baseline unavailability (NEI 99-02)
- Planned unavailability hours
- Unplanned unavailability hours assumed only for simulated failures - TS LCO allowed outage time will be assumed ROP Transition Plan for WBN2 l 14
Unit 2 Specific MSPI Analysis - Example Illustrative example for one indicator
- Assuming 12 quarters of data (no failures)
- Margin is 4 start failures, 5 fail to load/run, 1 fail to run, OR 2700 hours0.0313 days <br />0.75 hours <br />0.00446 weeks <br />0.00103 months <br /> unavailability
- Assuming 4 quarters of data (no failures)
- Margin is 1 start failure, 1 fail to load/run, 1 failure to run, OR 372 hours0.00431 days <br />0.103 hours <br />6.150794e-4 weeks <br />1.41546e-4 months <br /> of unavailability
- Treating this MSPI as valid after 4 quarters creates the substantial potential for a false positive ROP Transition Plan for WBN2 l 15
