DUANE ARNOLD ENERGY CENTER REGULATORY AUDIT IN SUPPORT OF THE LICENSE AMENDMENT REQUEST TO IMPLEMENT THE NATIONAL FIRE PROTECTION ASSOCIATION STANDARD 805, PERFORMANCE-BASED STANDARD FOR FIRE PROTECTION FOR LIGHT WATER REACTOR ELECTRIC GENERATING PLANT, AS INCORPORATED INTO TITLE 10 OF THE CODE OF FEDERAL REGULATIONS, PARAGRAPH 50.48(c) FIRE PROTECTION (ME6818) | |||
DOCKET NO. 50-331 I. BACKGROUND The Duane Arnold Energy Center (DAEC) has submitted a license amendment request, with additional clarification, (LAR) (Reference 1 and 2) to change its fire protection program to one based on the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) standard NFPA 805, Performance-Based Standard for Fire Protection for Light Water Reactor Electric Generating Plants, 2001 Edition, as incorporated into Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), Part 50, Section 50.48(c), Fire Protection. | |||
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staffs review of the LAR has commenced in accordance with the Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulations (NRR) Office Instruction LIC-101, License Amendments. The NRC staff has determined that a regulatory audit of the DAEC should be conducted in accordance with LIC-111, Regulatory Audits, for the staff to gain a better understanding of the licensees calculations, proposed plant modifications, and other aspects of the LAR. | |||
A regulatory audit is a planned, license or regulation-related activity that includes the examination and evaluation of primarily non-docketed information. A regulatory audit is conducted with the intent to gain understanding, to verify information, and/or to identify information that will require docketing to support the basis of the licensing or regulatory decision. Performing a regulatory audit of licensee information is expected to assist the staff in efficiently conducting its review or gain insights on the licensees processes or procedures. | |||
Information that the NRC staff relies upon to make the safety determination must be submitted on the docket. However, there may be supporting information retained as records under 10 CFR 50.71 and/or 10 CFR 54.37 that, although not required to be submitted as part of the licensing action, would help the staff better understand the licensees submitted information. | |||
The objectives of this regulatory audit are to: | |||
* Gain a better understanding of the detailed calculations, analyses and bases underlying the NFPA 805 LAR and confirm the staffs understanding of the LAR; | |||
* Identify further information that is necessary for the licensee to submit for the staff to reach a licensing or regulatory decision; this will result in requests for additional information (RAIs) | |||
* Verify that the licensees planned process for self-approval of fire protection program (FPP) changes will meet the proposed NFPA 805 license condition and quality requirements; | |||
* Establish an understanding of proposed plant modifications necessary to implement ENCLOSURE | |||
NFPA 805; and, | |||
* Verify the implementation of processes or procedures that the licensee committed to as part of NFPA 805 implementation. | |||
II. REGULATORY AUDIT BASIS The basis of this audit is the licensees LAR (Reference 1 and 2) and the Standard Review Plan (SRP) Section 9.5.1.2, Risk-Informed, Performance-Based (RI/PB) Fire Protection (Reference 3). References 4 through 8 provide additional information that will be used to support the audit. | |||
III. REGULATORY AUDIT SCOPE OR METHOD The staff will review the licensees NFPA 805 transition as proposed in the LAR. Key to this effort is the licensees risk-informed/performance-based (RI/PB) FPP. The staff will review the fundamental FPP elements and minimum design requirements. A sample of fire protection engineering evaluations may be selected for review. In addition, the staff will review, as necessary, the regulatory basis, references, licensing actions, and existing engineering equivalency evaluations, and issues which the licensee has deemed previously approved. | |||
The scope of the review of nuclear safety performance criteria may include both at-power and non-power operational modes, and may require a sample of procedures and other documentation. The compliance by fire area review will, as necessary, include multiple spurious operations, the transition of operator manual actions to recovery actions (RAs), fire protection engineering evaluations, and NFPA 805 deterministic requirements. The audit may also include alternatives to compliance with NFPA 805, if any are indentified. | |||
The staff may review a sample of fire risk evaluations and plant change evaluations for one or more fire areas, the evaluation of the additional risk of RAs, the licensees process for self-approving post-transition FPP changes, cumulative risk and combined changes, as well as uncertainty and sensitivity analyses. The review may also include licensee risk-informed evaluations to ensure that defense in depth (DID) and safety margins have been evaluated and are maintained. | |||
The staff will also review the licensees assessment of the technical adequacy of the PRA model used for any risk evaluations required to transition to a RI/PB FPP, including resolution of peer review findings and licensee self-assessments. This effort may include auditing a sample of logic models and calculations in the fire PRA model as well as the Internal Events PRA model. | |||
The review will include, as necessary, the licensees processes that have or will be implemented to maintain the quality of the PRA to support self-approval of risk-informed change evaluation after transition is completed. | |||
The scope may also include the licensees NFPA 805 monitoring program which is to establish and monitor acceptable levels of availability, reliability, and performance of fire protection systems and features relied upon for NFPA 805 compliance. | |||
The scope will also include, as appropriate, selected plant modifications to confirm they have been appropriately characterized in the LAR. The staff will review the process for controlling | |||
compensatory measures to confirm their adequacy while they remain in effect until the modifications are completed. | |||
In addition, the audit will review program documentation, configuration control, and the FPP quality assurance program. The FPP design basis document will be reviewed, as well as other documentation of fire hazards identification and nuclear safety capability assessments. The review will include configuration control of the FPP design basis document, the fire PRA methods and model, and other relevant documentation as necessary. The staff may also review the FPP quality assurance program, and sample fire models and fire model calculations. | |||
Walkdowns may be performed as necessary to confirm features of the licensees FPP and design elements. | |||
IV. INFORMATION AND OTHER MATERIAL NECESSARY FOR THE REGULATORY AUDIT The NRC audit team will require access to licensee personnel knowledgeable regarding the technical aspects of the DAEC LAR. As practical, the auditors will provide a description of subject matter needing DAEC expertise support approximately 2-4 hours in advance, to facilitate scheduling. At a minimum, a hardcopy and electronic copy of the following documentation should be available to the audit team: | |||
* Calculational models and supporting documentation for PRA models used in support of the LAR, including peer review history and resolution of peer review significant findings; | |||
* Calculational models and supporting documentation for fire models used in support of the LAR; | |||
* Procedures and calculations that have been modified or developed to transition to the NFPA 805 licensing basis; | |||
* Procedures and calculations that have been modified or developed to maintain the NFPA 805 licensing basis after transition is completed; | |||
* Documentation of changes made to PRA models in support of change analysis; | |||
* Documentation about PRA configuration control and procedures to support self-approval of risk-informed plant changes after transition; | |||
* Documentation of plant modifications or operational changes identified, screened, and considered (or planned for) during the licensees transition to NFPA 805; | |||
* Other documents, which the licensee deems as necessary to support the NRC staffs audit, outlined under audit activities; and, | |||
* Calculations and evaluations used to transition to NFPA 805 such as plant change evaluations, engineering equivalency evaluations, and RA evaluations. | |||
V. TEAM ASSIGNMENTS The audit will be conducted by NRC staff from the Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation (NRR) and contractors; Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) and the Center for Nuclear Waste and Regulatory Analysis (CNWRA). Division of Risk Assessment (DRA) Fire Protection Branch (AFPB) and the PRA Licensing Branch (APLA) staff, and contractor personnel knowledgeable in PRA, safe shutdown and circuits analysis, and fire protection engineering, will comprise the audit team. NRC staff from other organizations may be assigned to the team as appropriate and others may participate as observers.

DUANE ARNOLD ENERGY CENTER REGULATORY AUDIT IN SUPPORT OF THE LICENSE AMENDMENT REQUEST TO IMPLEMENT THE NATIONAL FIRE PROTECTION ASSOCIATION STANDARD 805, PERFORMANCE-BASED STANDARD FOR FIRE PROTECTION FOR LIGHT WATER REACTOR ELECTRIC GENERATING PLANT, AS INCORPORATED INTO TITLE 10 OF THE CODE OF FEDERAL REGULATIONS, PARAGRAPH 50.48(c) FIRE PROTECTION (ME6818)
DOCKET NO. 50-331 I. BACKGROUND The Duane Arnold Energy Center (DAEC) has submitted a license amendment request, with additional clarification, (LAR) (Reference 1 and 2) to change its fire protection program to one based on the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) standard NFPA 805, Performance-Based Standard for Fire Protection for Light Water Reactor Electric Generating Plants, 2001 Edition, as incorporated into Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), Part 50, Section 50.48(c), Fire Protection.
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staffs review of the LAR has commenced in accordance with the Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulations (NRR) Office Instruction LIC-101, License Amendments. The NRC staff has determined that a regulatory audit of the DAEC should be conducted in accordance with LIC-111, Regulatory Audits, for the staff to gain a better understanding of the licensees calculations, proposed plant modifications, and other aspects of the LAR.
A regulatory audit is a planned, license or regulation-related activity that includes the examination and evaluation of primarily non-docketed information. A regulatory audit is conducted with the intent to gain understanding, to verify information, and/or to identify information that will require docketing to support the basis of the licensing or regulatory decision. Performing a regulatory audit of licensee information is expected to assist the staff in efficiently conducting its review or gain insights on the licensees processes or procedures.
Information that the NRC staff relies upon to make the safety determination must be submitted on the docket. However, there may be supporting information retained as records under 10 CFR 50.71 and/or 10 CFR 54.37 that, although not required to be submitted as part of the licensing action, would help the staff better understand the licensees submitted information.
The objectives of this regulatory audit are to:
- Gain a better understanding of the detailed calculations, analyses and bases underlying the NFPA 805 LAR and confirm the staffs understanding of the LAR;
- Identify further information that is necessary for the licensee to submit for the staff to reach a licensing or regulatory decision; this will result in requests for additional information (RAIs)
- Verify that the licensees planned process for self-approval of fire protection program (FPP) changes will meet the proposed NFPA 805 license condition and quality requirements;
- Establish an understanding of proposed plant modifications necessary to implement ENCLOSURE
NFPA 805; and,
- Verify the implementation of processes or procedures that the licensee committed to as part of NFPA 805 implementation.
II. REGULATORY AUDIT BASIS The basis of this audit is the licensees LAR (Reference 1 and 2) and the Standard Review Plan (SRP) Section 9.5.1.2, Risk-Informed, Performance-Based (RI/PB) Fire Protection (Reference 3). References 4 through 8 provide additional information that will be used to support the audit.
III. REGULATORY AUDIT SCOPE OR METHOD The staff will review the licensees NFPA 805 transition as proposed in the LAR. Key to this effort is the licensees risk-informed/performance-based (RI/PB) FPP. The staff will review the fundamental FPP elements and minimum design requirements. A sample of fire protection engineering evaluations may be selected for review. In addition, the staff will review, as necessary, the regulatory basis, references, licensing actions, and existing engineering equivalency evaluations, and issues which the licensee has deemed previously approved.
The scope of the review of nuclear safety performance criteria may include both at-power and non-power operational modes, and may require a sample of procedures and other documentation. The compliance by fire area review will, as necessary, include multiple spurious operations, the transition of operator manual actions to recovery actions (RAs), fire protection engineering evaluations, and NFPA 805 deterministic requirements. The audit may also include alternatives to compliance with NFPA 805, if any are indentified.
The staff may review a sample of fire risk evaluations and plant change evaluations for one or more fire areas, the evaluation of the additional risk of RAs, the licensees process for self-approving post-transition FPP changes, cumulative risk and combined changes, as well as uncertainty and sensitivity analyses. The review may also include licensee risk-informed evaluations to ensure that defense in depth (DID) and safety margins have been evaluated and are maintained.
The staff will also review the licensees assessment of the technical adequacy of the PRA model used for any risk evaluations required to transition to a RI/PB FPP, including resolution of peer review findings and licensee self-assessments. This effort may include auditing a sample of logic models and calculations in the fire PRA model as well as the Internal Events PRA model.
The review will include, as necessary, the licensees processes that have or will be implemented to maintain the quality of the PRA to support self-approval of risk-informed change evaluation after transition is completed.
The scope may also include the licensees NFPA 805 monitoring program which is to establish and monitor acceptable levels of availability, reliability, and performance of fire protection systems and features relied upon for NFPA 805 compliance.
The scope will also include, as appropriate, selected plant modifications to confirm they have been appropriately characterized in the LAR. The staff will review the process for controlling
compensatory measures to confirm their adequacy while they remain in effect until the modifications are completed.
In addition, the audit will review program documentation, configuration control, and the FPP quality assurance program. The FPP design basis document will be reviewed, as well as other documentation of fire hazards identification and nuclear safety capability assessments. The review will include configuration control of the FPP design basis document, the fire PRA methods and model, and other relevant documentation as necessary. The staff may also review the FPP quality assurance program, and sample fire models and fire model calculations.
Walkdowns may be performed as necessary to confirm features of the licensees FPP and design elements.
IV. INFORMATION AND OTHER MATERIAL NECESSARY FOR THE REGULATORY AUDIT The NRC audit team will require access to licensee personnel knowledgeable regarding the technical aspects of the DAEC LAR. As practical, the auditors will provide a description of subject matter needing DAEC expertise support approximately 2-4 hours in advance, to facilitate scheduling. At a minimum, a hardcopy and electronic copy of the following documentation should be available to the audit team:
- Calculational models and supporting documentation for PRA models used in support of the LAR, including peer review history and resolution of peer review significant findings;
- Calculational models and supporting documentation for fire models used in support of the LAR;
- Procedures and calculations that have been modified or developed to transition to the NFPA 805 licensing basis;
- Procedures and calculations that have been modified or developed to maintain the NFPA 805 licensing basis after transition is completed;
- Documentation of changes made to PRA models in support of change analysis;
- Documentation about PRA configuration control and procedures to support self-approval of risk-informed plant changes after transition;
- Documentation of plant modifications or operational changes identified, screened, and considered (or planned for) during the licensees transition to NFPA 805;
- Other documents, which the licensee deems as necessary to support the NRC staffs audit, outlined under audit activities; and,
- Calculations and evaluations used to transition to NFPA 805 such as plant change evaluations, engineering equivalency evaluations, and RA evaluations.
V. TEAM ASSIGNMENTS The audit will be conducted by NRC staff from the Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation (NRR) and contractors; Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) and the Center for Nuclear Waste and Regulatory Analysis (CNWRA). Division of Risk Assessment (DRA) Fire Protection Branch (AFPB) and the PRA Licensing Branch (APLA) staff, and contractor personnel knowledgeable in PRA, safe shutdown and circuits analysis, and fire protection engineering, will comprise the audit team. NRC staff from other organizations may be assigned to the team as appropriate and others may participate as observers. Observers at the audit may include NRR Managers and various Regional Inspectors.
