1EP7 Exercise Evaluation - Hostile Action Event
.1 Exercise Evaluation
a. Inspection Scope
Title 10, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Part 50, Appendix E,Section IV.F.2.j, requires, in part, that nuclear power reactor licensees, in each eight calendar year exercise cycle, provide the opportunity for their Emergency Response Organization (ERO) to demonstrate proficiency in the key skills necessary to respond to a Hostile Action (HA) event directed at the plant site. Braidwood Station designed the November 19, 2014, exercise to satisfy this requirement, and the NRC inspected the Braidwood Station HA event exercise to assess the licensees ability to effectively implement their Emergency Plan during a HA event and adequately protect public health and safety.
The exercise evaluation consisted of the following reviews and assessments:
- The adequacy of the licensees performance in the biennial exercise conducted on November 19, 2014, regarding the implementation of the Risk-Significant Planning Standards in 10 CFR 50.47 (b)(4), (5), (9), and (10), which address emergency classification, offsite notification, radiological assessment, and Protective Action Recommendations (PAR), respectively.
- The overall adequacy of the licensees emergency response facilities with regard to NUREG-0696, Functional Criteria for Emergency Response Facilities, and Emergency Plan commitments. The facilities assessed were the Control Room Simulator, Alternative Emergency Response Facility, Incident Command Post, Simulated Central Alarm Station, and the Emergency Operations Facility.
- A review of other performance areas such as the licensee EROs recognition of abnormal plant conditions; command and control, including interactions with site security staff; intra and inter-facility communications; prioritization of mitigating activities; utilization of repair and field monitoring teams; interface with offsite agencies, including local law enforcement agencies; staffing and procedure adequacy; and the overall implementation of the Emergency Plan and its implementing procedures.
- Past performance issues from NRC inspection reports to determine the effectiveness of corrective actions, as demonstrated during this exercise, to ensure compliance with 10 CFR 50.47(b)(14).
- The adequacy of the licensees post-exercise critiques, to evaluate Braidwood Stations self-assessment of its ERO performance during the November 19, 2014, exercise and to ensure compliance with 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix E, Section IV.F.2.g.
The inspectors reviewed various documents that are listed in the Attachment to this report. This inspection activity satisfied one inspection sample for the exercise evaluation on a biennial basis.
This exercise evaluation inspection constituted one sample as defined in Inspection Procedure (IP) 71114.07-06.
b. Findings
No findings were identified.
1EP8 Exercise Evaluation - Scenario Review
a. Inspection Scope
Prior to the inspection activity, the inspectors conducted an in-office review of the exercise objectives and scenarios submitted to the NRC using IP 71114.08, Exercise Evaluation - Scenario Review, to determine if the exercise would test major elements of the Emergency Plan as required by 10 CFR 50.47(b)(14). This inspection activity represents one sample on a biennial cycle.
The inspectors reviewed various documents that are listed in the Attachment to this report. This inspection activity satisfied one inspection sample for the exercise evaluation on a biennial basis.
This review of the exercise objectives and scenario constituted one sample as defined in IP 71114.08-06.
b. Findings
No findings were identified.
OTHER ACTIVITIES
Cornerstone: Emergency Preparedness
4OA1 Performance Indicator Verification
.1 Drill/Exercise Performance
a. Inspection Scope
The inspectors sampled licensee submittals for the Drill/Exercise Performance (DEP)
Performance Indicator (PI) for the period from the first quarter 2013 through the third quarter 2014. To determine the accuracy of the DEP data reported during those periods, PI definitions and guidance contained in the Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI)document NEI 99-02, Regulatory Assessment Performance Indicator Guideline, Revision 7, was used. The inspectors reviewed the licensees 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 DEP 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 ERO Drill Participation PI for the period from the first quarter 2013 through the third quarter 2014. To determine the accuracy of the PI data reported during those periods, PI definitions and guidance contained in NEI 99-02, Regulatory Assessment Performance Indicator Guideline, Revision 7, was used. The inspectors reviewed the licensees 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 2013 and 2014 drills, and revisions of the roster of personnel assigned to key ERO 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 first quarter 2013 through the third quarter 2014. To determine the accuracy of the PI data reported during those periods, PI definitions and guidance contained in NEI 99-02, Regulatory Assessment Performance Indicator Guideline, Revision 7, was used. The inspectors reviewed the licensees 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.
