| =PLANT STATUS=
| |
| | |
| Unit 1 began the report period at approximately 100 percent rated thermal power (RTP). On November 20, 2020, RTP was reduced to approximately 90 percent for planned turbine valve testing and restored to approximately 100 percent RTP on the following day. After the testing, unit 1 remained at or near 100 percent RTP through the end of the report period.
| |
| | |
| Unit 2 began the report period at approximately 100 percent RTP. On October 2, 2020, unit 2 began power coastdown for a planned refueling outage. On October 11, 2020, unit 2 was shut down and entered Mode 5 for the planned outage. Following the outage, on November 13, 2020, the unit 2 reactor was taken critical and entered mode 1 on November 14, 2020. Over a period of approximately four days, RTP was increased with various hold points for testing of the recently implemented measurement uncertainty recapture (MUR) modification. On November 18, 2020, RTP was increased and held at approximately 95% for additional MUR validation. On December 22, 2020, RTP was raised to approximately 99.3% and held there through the end of the report period.

| | |
| ==INSPECTION SCOPES==
| |
| Inspections were conducted using the appropriate portions of the inspection procedures (IPs) in effect at the beginning of the inspection unless otherwise noted. Currently approved IPs with their attached revision histories are located on the public website at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/doc-collections/insp-manual/inspection-procedure/index.html. Samples were declared complete when the IP requirements most appropriate to the inspection activity were met consistent with Inspection Manual Chapter (IMC) 2515, Light-Water Reactor Inspection Program - Operations Phase. The inspectors reviewed selected procedures and records, observed activities, and interviewed personnel to assess licensee performance and compliance with Commission rules and regulations, license conditions, site procedures, and standards.
| |
| | |
| Starting on March 20, 2020, in response to the National Emergency declared by the President of the United States on the public health risks of the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19), resident inspectors were directed to begin telework and to remotely access licensee information using available technology. During this time, the resident inspectors performed periodic site visits each week; conducted plant status activities as described in IMC 2515, Appendix D, Plant Status; observed risk-significant activities; and completed on-site portions of IPs. In addition, resident and regional baseline inspections were evaluated to determine if all or portions of the objectives and requirements stated in the IP could be performed remotely. If the inspections could be performed remotely, they were conducted per the applicable IP. In some cases, portions of an IP were completed remotely and on-site. The inspections documented below met the objectives and requirements for completion of the IP.

| ==OTHER ACTIVITIES==
| |
| - TEMPORARY INSTRUCTIONS, INFREQUENT AND ABNORMAL 2515/194 - Inspection of the Licensees Implementation of Industry Initiative Associated With the Open Phase Condition Design Vulnerabilities In Electric Power Systems (NRC Bulletin 2012-01)
| |
| Revision 0 of this TI was previously inspected, and closed, in Inspection Report 2019012 (ADAMS ML19240A829). However, a subsequent revision to the NEI Voluntary Initiative (Revision 3) provided plants the option to leave the open phase protection (OPP) system in monitoring mode only in lieu of activating the automatic trip circuitry, provided it was supported by a risk evaluation. Revision 1 (and later Revision 2) of this TI was issued to provide inspection guidance for the new option.
| |
| | |
| The inspectors reviewed licensee analyses and procedures that demonstrated operator manual actions would successfully mitigate the impact of an Open Phase Condition (OPC). The analyses were reviewed remotely, and the procedures were reviewed and walked down on site. The inspectors completed Section 03.01c of TI 2515/194, Revision 2.
| |
| | |
| The inspectors verified that modeling used for the OPC reflected the as-designed and as-built plant, assumptions made by the licensee were reasonable, and licensee procedures were adequate to successfully respond to an OPC. The inspectors also verified that human reliability analysis and recovery evaluations were done in accordance with NEI and voluntary initiative guidance.

| : (1) On November 20, 2019, as a result of Alternative Dispute Resolution the NRC issued Confirmatory Order (CO) EA-18-130 and EA-18-171 (ML19249B552). The CO was the result of an apparent violation of 10 CFR 53.5, Employee Protection at Vogtle Units 3 & 4 which contained actions for the Farley, Hatch and Vogtle Units 1 & 2 nuclear plants. During the week of November 30,2020, the inspectors reviewed corrective actions for this CO. Because the CO was fleet wide for the Southern Nuclear Company, the corrective actions reviewed by the inspectors included a review of corrective actions for the Hatch, Farley, and Vogtle Units 1 through 4 nuclear plants. The details can be found in inspection report 0500025/20200012, 0500026/2020012; 11/30/2020 through 12/11/2020; Vogtle Unit 3 Combined License, Vogtle Unit 4 Combined License, CO Follow-Up and SCWE inspection report.
