| WATERFORD STEAM ELECTRIC STATION, UNIT 3 - BIENNIAL PROBLEM IDENTIFICATION AND RESOLUTION INSPECTION REPORT 05000382/2020010
| |
| | |
| ==Dear Mr. Ferrick:==
| |
| On December 11, 2020, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed a problem identification and resolution inspection at your Waterford Steam Electric Station, Unit 3 and discussed the results of this inspection with you and other members of your staff. The results of this inspection are documented in the enclosed report.
| |
| | |
| The NRC inspection team reviewed the stations corrective action program and the stations implementation of the program to evaluate its effectiveness in identifying, prioritizing, evaluating, and correcting problems, and to confirm that the station was complying with NRC regulations and licensee standards for corrective action programs. Based on the samples reviewed, the team determined that your staffs performance in each of these areas adequately supported nuclear safety. However, the team identified a weakness associated with prioritizing and evaluating these problems. Specifically, the team identified corrective actions to prevent recurrence and others that were not characterized appropriately and condition reports that were inconsistently categorized.
| |
| | |
| The team also evaluated the stations processes for use of industry and NRC operating experience information and the effectiveness of the stations audits and self-assessments.
| |
| | |
| Based on the samples reviewed, the team determined that your staffs performance in each of these areas adequately supported nuclear safety. Finally, the team reviewed the stations programs to establish and maintain a safety-conscious work environment, and interviewed station personnel to evaluate the effectiveness of these programs. Based on the teams observations and the results of these interviews the team found no evidence of challenges to your organizations safety-conscious work environment. Your employees appeared willing to raise nuclear safety concerns through at least one of the several means available.
| |
| | |
| Two findings of very low safety significance (Green) are documented in this report. Both of these findings involved violations of NRC requirements. We are treating these violations as non-cited violations (NCVs) consistent with Section 2.3.2 of the Enforcement Policy.
| |
| | |
