3.0 Onsite Audit Technical Discussion Topics Based on the audit plan, and with a particular emphasis on the Part 2, "Specific Technical Review Items," the NRC staff technical reviewers conducted interviews with licensee technical staff, site walk-downs, and detailed document review for the items listed in the plan. Results of these technical reviews and any additional review items needed from the licensee are documented in the audit item status table in Attachment 3, as discussed in the Conclusion section below. 3.1 Reactor Systems Technical Discussions and Walk-Downs The NRC staff met with licensee staff to discuss the amount of leakage from the recirculation pump seals, the use of containment venting to control torus pressure, the use of the portable FLEX pump to maintain reactor pressure vessel (RPV) level, and the availability of water sources. The NRC staff reviewed the analyses and flow calculations along with applicable procedures | |||
, including the plant parameters that will be monitored to indicate the potential for reactor core damage. The NRC staff also walked down the licensee's strategies and reviewed plant procedures for implementing the core cooling and makeup strategies. | |||
The NRC staff also reviewed the modeling of an extended loss of alternating current power (ELAP) event and the actions needed to mitigate the event, including the computer code used for the ELAP analysis and input parameters assumed to generate the results of the analysis. 3.2 Electrical | |||
One audit item remains open regarding the expected high and low temperatures in containment | |||
, battery rooms, and switchgear rooms (Including the battery chargers and inverters) and why credited equipment will continue to function (see Attachment 3). The NRC staff reviewed the isolation and interactions of electrical power sources regarding the protection of Class 1 E equipment from faults in portable FLEX equipment and the design elements that ensure multiple electrical sources do not attempt to simultaneously power electrical buses. The NRG staff also walked down panels used for load shedding to evaluate feasibility and timing. Lastly, the NRG staff conducted a walk-through of portable FLEX diesel generator procedures, to include power pathways, areas where manual actions are required, and electrical isolation. | |||
3.3 SFPI Technical Discussions and Walk-Downs The NRG staff walked down instrument | |||
, transmitter, electronics, and display locations for the SFP level instrumentation, along with the associated cable runs. In addition, the NRG staff noted that the licensee had completed design calculations and drawings detailing the installation of the SFPI components. | |||
3.4 FLEX Equipment Storage Configuration Discussion Areas and Walk-Downs The FLEX storage configuration utilizes two buildings | |||
, one located within the protected area (PA) and one located outside the PA. The licensee stated that the buildings are constructed to withstand applciabale BDBEEs with reasonable protection from high wind/tornado missiles being provided by the diverse location of the buildings. | |||
A compact tractor will be stored in each FLEX building to transport FLEX equipment and perform debris removal activities. | A compact tractor will be stored in each FLEX building to transport FLEX equipment and perform debris removal activities. | ||

The NRC staff's rev i ew to date led to the issuance of the CNS ISE and RAI dated December 4 , 2013 (ADAMS Accession No. ML 13323A105). By letter dated March 26 , 2014 (ADAMS Accession No. ML 14083A620), the NRC notified all licensees and construction permit holders that the staff is conducting in-office and onsite audits of their responses to Order EA-12-051 in accordance with NRC NRR Office Instruction LIC-111 , as discussed above. The ongoing audits allow the staff to review open and confirmatory items from the m i tigation strategies ISE , RAI responses from the spent fuel pool instrumentation (SFPI) ISE , the licensee's integrated plans , and other audit questions. Additionally , the staff gains a better unde r standing of submitted and updated information , audit information prov i ded on ePortals , and preliminary Overall Program Documents/Final Integrated Plans while identifying additional information necessary for the licensee to supplement its plan and staff potential concerns. In support of the ongo i ng audit of the licensee's OIPs, as supplemented , the NRC staff conducted an onsite audit at CNS from May 23 -26 , 2016 , per the audit plan dated March 7 , 2016 (ADAMS Accession No. ML 16083A525). The purpose of the onsite portion of the audit was to provide the NRC staff the opportunity to continue the audit review and gain key insights most easily obtained at the plant as to whether the licensee is on the correct path for compliance with the Mitigation Strategies and SFPI orders. The onsite activities included detailed analysis and calculation discussion , walk-throughs of strategies and equipment laydown , visualization of portable equipment storage and deployment , review of staging and deployment of offsite equipment , and review of installation details for SFPI equipment.
The enclosed audit report provides a summary of the act i vities for the onsite audit portion. Addit i onally, this report contains an attachment listing all open onsite audit items currently under NRC staff review.
