71111.21N, Design Bases Assurance Inspection (Programs), 1N.03, Commercial Grade Dedication, dated February 16, 2023 (ADAMS ML23005A288)

Inspection Dates:

Information Gathering Visit: January 13-17, 2025 Preparation Week: February 17-21, 2025 Onsite Week 1: February 24-28, 2025 Onsite Week 2: March 10-14, 2025 Inspection Report: 05000400/2025010 (Standalone Inspection Report)

M. Hagen (Electrical)

TBD The purpose of this letter is to notify you that three inspectors from Region II will conduct an inspection at your site in accordance with Inspection Procedure 71111.21N, Design Bases Assurance Inspection (Programs), Attachment 21N.03, Commercial Grade Dedication. This is not considered a team inspection. The inspection will evaluate Shearon Harris Nuclear Power Plants process for dedicating commercial-grade items, as required in applicable portions of Appendix B to Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) Part 50, to ensure reasonable assurance is provided that these items will perform their intended safety function.

Additionally, this inspection will evaluate implementation of Harriss procurement process for safety-related components, as required in Appendix B. The inspectors will select samples of components that are risk significant and within the scope of the program.

On January 13, 2025, a Senior Reactor Inspector from the NRCs Region II office, will begin the inspection with an information gathering visit to the site. The purpose of the visit is to become familiar with the process for dedicating commercial-grade items and the process for procuring safety-related components at Shearon Harris. This visit may include a tour of onsite commercial-grade item dedication facilities, receipt inspection facilities, storage facilities, and installed plant components associated with potential inspection samples. During the visit, the team lead will also review the information provided in the initial information request to select a list of potential inspection samples. The team lead may also identify other information needed to support the inspection during this visit.

To minimize the impact on your staff and to ensure a productive inspection, we have enclosed two separate requests for information needed prior to the onsite information gathering visit and offsite inspection preparation week. The first request (Enclosure 1) is generally for information that will be used to choose the inspection samples or information that will be applicable to all inspection samples throughout the inspection. This information should be made available to the team lead prior to the information gathering visit. The second request (Enclosure 2) is for information specific to individual samples and should be made available prior to the offsite inspection preparation week.

Please provide the information requested in Enclosure 1 to support the information gathering visit to the Region II Office or a file sharing site by January 3, 2025. Additional documents may be requested during the information gathering visit. The inspectors will try to minimize your administrative burden by specifically identifying only those documents required for inspection preparation. The additional Enclosure 2 information should be provided to the inspectors in the Region II office or a file sharing site by February 14, 2025.

During the information gathering visit, the lead inspector will also discuss the following inspection support administrative details: (1) availability of knowledgeable plant engineering and licensing personnel to serve as points of contact during the inspection, (2) method of tracking inspector requests during the inspection, (3) computer access, (4) working space, (5) arrangements for site access, and (6) other applicable information.
