| a. Evaluation of Changes, Tests, or Experiments From January 7, 2013 through January 24, 2013, the inspectors reviewed five safety evaluations performed pursuant to Title 10, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 50.59 to determine whether the evaluations were adequate and that prior NRC-approval was obtained as appropriate. The minimum sample size of six safety evaluations was not achieved, because the licensee had only performed five safety evaluations during the sample period. The inspectors also reviewed fourteen screenings where licensee personnel had determined that a 10 CFR 50.59 evaluation was not necessary. The inspectors reviewed these documents to determine if: Inspection Scope the changes, tests, or experiments performed were evaluated in accordance with 10 CFR 50.59 and that sufficient documentation existed to confirm that a license amendment was not required; the safety issue requiring the change, tests or experiment was resolved; the licensee conclusions for evaluations of changes, tests, or experiments were correct and consistent with 10 CFR 50.59; and the design and licensing basis documentation was updated to reflect the change. The inspectors used, in part, Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI) 96-07, "Guidelines for 10 CFR 50.59 Implementation," Revision 1, to determine acceptability of the completed evaluations, and screenings. The NEI document was endorsed by the NRC in Regulatory Guide 1.187, "Guidance for Implementation of 10 CFR 50.59, Changes, Tests, and Experiments," dated November 2000. The inspectors also consulted Part 9900 of the NRC Inspection Manual, "10 CFR Guidance for 10 CFR 50.59, Changes, Tests, and Experiments." This inspection constituted five samples of evaluations and fourteen samples of changes as defined in IP 71111.17-04. b. No findings of significance were identified. Findings 3 Enclosure

Main article: IP 71111.17
.1 Evaluation of Changes, Tests, or Experiments
a. Inspection Scope
From January 7, 2013 through January 24, 2013, the inspectors reviewed five safety evaluations performed pursuant to Title 10, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 50.59 to determine whether the evaluations were adequate and that prior NRC-approval was obtained as appropriate. The minimum sample size of six safety evaluations was not achieved, because the licensee had only performed five safety evaluations during the sample period. The inspectors also reviewed fourteen screenings where licensee personnel had determined that a 10 CFR 50.59 evaluation was not necessary. The inspectors reviewed these documents to determine if:
- the changes, tests, or experiments performed were evaluated in accordance with 10 CFR 50.59 and that sufficient documentation existed to confirm that a license amendment was not required;
- the safety issue requiring the change, tests or experiment was resolved;
- the licensee conclusions for evaluations of changes, tests, or experiments were correct and consistent with 10 CFR 50.59; and
- the design and licensing basis documentation was updated to reflect the change.
The inspectors used, in part, Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI) 96-07, Guidelines for 10 CFR 50.59 Implementation, Revision 1, to determine acceptability of the completed evaluations, and screenings. The NEI document was endorsed by the NRC in Regulatory Guide 1.187, Guidance for Implementation of 10 CFR 50.59, Changes, Tests, and Experiments, dated November 2000.

.2 Permanent Plant Modifications
a. Inspection Scope
From January 7, 2013 through January 24, 2013, the inspectors reviewed eight permanent plant modifications including two design basis calculations that had been installed in the plant or modified during the last three years. This review included in-plant walkdowns for portions of the modified Containment Spray, Station Battery Charger and Emergency Diesel Generator starting air systems. The modifications were selected based upon risk-significance, safety significance, and complexity. The inspectors reviewed the modifications selected to determine if:
- the supporting design and licensing basis documentation was updated;
- the changes were in accordance with the specified design requirements;
- the procedures and training plans affected by the modification have been adequately updated;
- the test documentation as required by the applicable test programs has been updated; and
- post-modification testing adequately verified system operability and/or functionality.
The inspectors also used applicable industry standards to evaluate acceptability of the modifications. The list of modifications and other documents reviewed by the inspectors is included as an Attachment to this report.
