HARRIS NUCLEAR POWER STATION UNIT 1 - NOTIFICATION OF INSPECTION AND REQUEST FOR INFORMATION Mr. Hamrick: | |||
From November 18 through November 22, 2013, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) will perform the baseline inservice inspection (ISI) at the Harris Nuclear Power Station, Unit 1, in accordance with NRC Inspection Procedure 71111.08. Experience has shown that this inspection is resource intensive both for the NRC inspectors and your staff. In order to minimize the impact to your on-site resources and to ensure a productive inspection, we have enclosed a request for documents needed for this inspection. These documents have been divided into two groups. The first group (Section A of the enclosure) identifies information to be provided prior to the inspection to ensure that the inspectors are adequately prepared. The second group (Section B of the enclosure) identifies the information the inspectors will need upon arrival at the site. It is important that all of these documents are up to date and complete in order to minimize the number of additional documents requested during the preparation and/or the on-site portions of the inspection. | |||
We have discussed the schedule for these inspection activities with your staff and understand that our regulatory contact for this inspection will be Mr. Michael G. Wallace at 919-362-2360 of your organization. Our inspection dates are subject to change based on your updated schedule of outage activities. If there are any questions about this inspection or the material requested, please contact the inspector, currently scheduled to be Mr. Alexander Butcavage, (404-997-4640) or Alexander.Butcavage@nrc.gov. | |||
In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 of the NRCs Rules of Practice, a copy of this letter, and its Enclosure, will be available electronically for public inspection in the NRC Public Document Room or from the Publicly Available Records (PARS) component of NRC's document system, | |||

d) Please provide a copy of NDE reports from the last RPVH examination.
e) Please provide a copy of evaluation or calculation demonstrating that the scope of the visual examination of the upper head will meet the 95% minimum coverage required by ASME Code Case N-729-1 (If a visual examination is planned for the upcoming refueling outage).
f) Please provide a copy of the procedures that will be used to identify the source of any boric acid deposits identified on the RPVH. If no explicit procedures exist which govern this activity, provide a description of the process to be followed including personnel responsibilities and expectations.
g) Please provide a copy of the updated calculation of effective degradation years (EDY) and re-inspection years (RIY) for the RPVH crack initiation and propagation susceptibility parameters.
h) Please provide a copy of the vendor qualification report(s) that demonstrates the detection capability of the NDE equipment used for the RPVH examinations.
Also, please identify any changes in equipment configurations used for the RPVH examinations that differ from that used in the vendor qualification or demonstration report(s).
B.3 Boric Acid Corrosion Control Program a) Please provide boric acid walkdown inspection results, an updated list of boric acid leaks identified during the current outage, associated corrective action documentation, and overall status of planned boric acid inspections.
Enclosure
7 b) Please provide any engineering evaluations completed for boric acid leaks identified since the end of the last refueling outage. Please include a status of corrective actions to repair and/or clean these boric acid leaks. Please specify which known leaks, if any, have remained in service, or will remain in service, as active leaks.
c) In accordance with NRC inspection procedure 71111.08, the inspector would like to conduct an independent boric acid walkdown of the Reactor Building early in the inspection week. Please have knowledgeable BACCP staff available to accompany the inspector during the walkdown.
B.4 Steam Generator Inspections a) Please provide copies of the Examination Technique Specification Sheets (ETSS) and associated justification for any revisions.
b) Please provide a copy of the guidance to be followed if a loose part or foreign material is identified in the steam generators (SGs).
c) Please provide a copy of the ET procedures used to perform the SG ISI (specifically calibration and flaw characterization/sizing procedures, etc.). Also, include documentation for the specific equipment to be used.
d) Please provide copies of your responses to NRC and industry operating experience communications such as; Generic Letters, Information Notices, etc.
(As applicable to SG inspections.) *Do not provide these documents separately if already included in other information requested such as the degradation assessment.
e) Please provide a list of corrective action documents generated by the vendor and/or site with respect to SG inspection activities.
B.5 Codes and Standards a) Please provide ready access to: (i.e., copies provided to the inspector to use for the duration of the inspection at the on-site inspection location, or room number and location where available) i) Applicable editions of the ASME Code (Sections V, IX, and XI) for the inservice inspection program and the repair/replacement program.
ii) EPRI and industry standards referenced in the procedures used to perform the SG tube eddy current examination. - if applicable Inspector Contact Information:
