SUBJECT: SOUTH TEXAS PROJECT, UNITS 1 and 2 - NRC PROBLEM IDENTIFICATION | |||
AND RESOLUTION INSPECTION REPORT 05000498/2014010; | |||
05000499/2014010 | |||
Dear Mr. Koehl: | |||
On December 4, 2014, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed the onsite | |||
portion of the problem identification and resolution biennial inspection at the South Texas | |||
Project. On that day, the NRC inspection team discussed the results of this inspection with | |||
Mr. D. Rencurrel, Senior Vice President Operations, and other members of your staff. This | |||
discussion included a finding for which the NRC had not yet reached a significance | |||
determination. On December 18, 2014, the inspection team had completed its review and | |||
provided Mr. D. Rencurrel, and other members of your staff, the results of a detailed risk | |||
evaluation telephonically. The inspection team documented the results of this inspection in the | |||
enclosed inspection report. | |||
Based on the inspection sample, the inspection team determined that South Texas Projects | |||
corrective action program, and your staffs implementation of it were adequate to support | |||
nuclear safety. | |||
In reviewing your corrective action program, the team assessed how well your staff identified | |||
problems at a low threshold, your staffs implementation of the stations process for prioritizing | |||
and evaluating these problems, and the effectiveness of corrective actions taken by the station | |||
to resolve these problems. The team also evaluated other processes your staff used to identify | |||
issues for resolution. These included your use of audits and self-assessments to identify latent | |||
problems and your incorporation of lessons learned from industry operating experience into | |||
station programs, processes, and procedures. The team determined that your stations | |||
performance in each of these areas supported nuclear safety. | |||
Enclosure transmitted herewith contains SUNSI. When separated from Attachment 1 to | |||
the Enclosure, this transmittal document is decontrolled. | |||

Finally, the team determined that your stations management maintained a safety-conscious | |||
work environment in which your employees were willing to raise nuclear safety concerns | |||
through at least one of the several means available. | |||
Nuclear Regulatory Commission inspectors documented one security finding of very low | |||
security significance (Green) in Attachment 1 to the enclosed report. This finding involved a | |||
violation of Nuclear Regulatory Commission requirements. The Nuclear Regulatory | |||
Commission is treating this violation as a non-cited violation consistent with Section 2.3.2.a of | |||
the Enforcement Policy. The deficiency was promptly addressed and the plant complied with | |||
applicable physical protection and security prior to the inspectors leaving the site. The finding | |||
has a cross-cutting aspect in the human performance area associated with complacency in that | |||
security force personnel did not implement appropriate error reduction tools due to the repetitive | |||
nature of the activities and the expectation of successful outcomes (H.12). | |||
Further, the inspectors also documented one licensee-identified violation determined to be of | |||
very low safety significance in this report. The NRC is also treating this violation as a non-cited | |||
violation consistent with Section 2.3.2.a of the NRC Enforcement Policy. | |||
If you contest the violations or their significance, you should provide a response within 30 days | |||
of the date of this inspection report, with the basis for your denial, to the U.S. Nuclear | |||
Regulatory Commission, ATTN: Document Control Desk, Washington, DC 20555-0001; with | |||
copies to the Regional Administrator, Region IV; the Director, Office of Enforcement, | |||
U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555-0001; and the NRC resident | |||
inspector at the South Texas Project Electric Generating Station, Units 1 and 2, facility. | |||
If you disagree with a cross-cutting aspect assignment in this report, you should provide a | |||
response within 30 days of the date of this inspection report, with the basis for your | |||
disagreement, to the Regional Administrator, Region IV; and to the NRC resident inspector at | |||
the South Texas Project Electric Generating Station, Units 1 and 2, facility. | |||
In accordance with Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) 2.390, Public | |||

UNITED STATES
NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION
REGION IV
1600 E LAMAR BLVD
ARLINGTON, TX 76011-4511
January 30, 2015
Mr. Dennis L. Koehl
President and CEO/CNO
STP Nuclear Operating Company
PO Box 289
Wadsworth, TX 77483-0289
SUBJECT: SOUTH TEXAS PROJECT, UNITS 1 and 2 - NRC PROBLEM IDENTIFICATION
AND RESOLUTION INSPECTION REPORT 05000498/2014010;
Dear Mr. Koehl:
On December 4, 2014, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed the onsite
portion of the problem identification and resolution biennial inspection at the South Texas
Project. On that day, the NRC inspection team discussed the results of this inspection with
Mr. D. Rencurrel, Senior Vice President Operations, and other members of your staff. This
discussion included a finding for which the NRC had not yet reached a significance
determination. On December 18, 2014, the inspection team had completed its review and
provided Mr. D. Rencurrel, and other members of your staff, the results of a detailed risk
evaluation telephonically. The inspection team documented the results of this inspection in the
enclosed inspection report.
Based on the inspection sample, the inspection team determined that South Texas Projects
corrective action program, and your staffs implementation of it were adequate to support
nuclear safety.
In reviewing your corrective action program, the team assessed how well your staff identified
problems at a low threshold, your staffs implementation of the stations process for prioritizing
and evaluating these problems, and the effectiveness of corrective actions taken by the station
to resolve these problems. The team also evaluated other processes your staff used to identify
issues for resolution. These included your use of audits and self-assessments to identify latent
problems and your incorporation of lessons learned from industry operating experience into
station programs, processes, and procedures. The team determined that your stations
performance in each of these areas supported nuclear safety.
Enclosure transmitted herewith contains SUNSI. When separated from Attachment 1 to
the Enclosure, this transmittal document is decontrolled.

Finally, the team determined that your stations management maintained a safety-conscious
work environment in which your employees were willing to raise nuclear safety concerns
through at least one of the several means available.
Nuclear Regulatory Commission inspectors documented one security finding of very low
security significance (Green) in Attachment 1 to the enclosed report. This finding involved a
violation of Nuclear Regulatory Commission requirements. The Nuclear Regulatory
Commission is treating this violation as a non-cited violation consistent with Section 2.3.2.a of
the Enforcement Policy. The deficiency was promptly addressed and the plant complied with
applicable physical protection and security prior to the inspectors leaving the site. The finding
has a cross-cutting aspect in the human performance area associated with complacency in that
security force personnel did not implement appropriate error reduction tools due to the repetitive
nature of the activities and the expectation of successful outcomes (H.12).
Further, the inspectors also documented one licensee-identified violation determined to be of
very low safety significance in this report. The NRC is also treating this violation as a non-cited
violation consistent with Section 2.3.2.a of the NRC Enforcement Policy.
If you contest the violations or their significance, you should provide a response within 30 days
of the date of this inspection report, with the basis for your denial, to the U.S. Nuclear
Regulatory Commission, ATTN: Document Control Desk, Washington, DC 20555-0001; with
copies to the Regional Administrator, Region IV; the Director, Office of Enforcement,
U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555-0001; and the NRC resident
inspector at the South Texas Project Electric Generating Station, Units 1 and 2, facility.
If you disagree with a cross-cutting aspect assignment in this report, you should provide a
response within 30 days of the date of this inspection report, with the basis for your
disagreement, to the Regional Administrator, Region IV; and to the NRC resident inspector at
the South Texas Project Electric Generating Station, Units 1 and 2, facility.
In accordance with Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) 2.390, Public
Inspections, Exemptions, Requests for Withholding, a copy of this letter, and its enclosure (with
the exception stated below) will be available electronically for public inspection in the NRCs
Public Document Room or from the Publicly Available Records (PARS) component of the NRC's
Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS). ADAMS is accessible
from the NRC Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html (the Public Electronic
Reading Room).
Some of the material contained in the enclosed report therein contains Security-Related
Information in accordance with 10 CFR 2.390(d)(1) and its disclosure to unauthorized
individuals could present a security vulnerability. Therefore, the material in Attachment 1 to the
enclosure will not be made available electronically for public inspection in the NRC Public
Document Room or from the PARS component of NRC's ADAMS.
