Audit Plan SAFER Response Proof of Concept Demonstration Three Mile Island Nuclear Station, Unit 1 Regional Response Center- Memphis, TN SAFER Control Center- Lynchburg, VA BACKGROUND AND AUDIT BASIS On March 12, 2012, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) issued Order EA-12-049, "Order Modifying Licenses with Regard to Requirements for Mitigation Strategies for Beyond-Design-Basis External Events" (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML12054A736), requiring holders of operating licenses and construction permits issued under Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations Part 50 to submit for review, Overall Integrated Plans (OIPs) including descriptions of how compliance with the requirements of Attachment 2 of the order will be achieved. In accordance with the order, the OIPs were submitted by February 2013, and required subsequent 6-month updates were submitted in August 2013 and February 2014. Licensees are in the process of implementing the requirements identified in the order. Licensees are required to complete full implementation no later than two refueling cycles after submittal of the OIPs or by December 31, 2016, whichever comes first. | |||
Since receiving the OIPs, the NRC staff has started the audit process, as well as reviewing any related additional information, to determine the extent to which the licensees are proceeding on a path towards successful implementation. The NRC staff has provided feedback to licensees on their submittals via Interim Staff Evaluations (ISEs); which were completed in February 2014. | |||
Order EA-12-049 requires a three-phase approach for mitigating beyond-design-basis external events (BDBEE). The initial phase requires the use of installed equipment and resources to maintain or restore core cooling, containment and spent fuel pool (SFP) cooling capabilities. | |||
The transition phase requires providing sufficient, portable, onsite equipment and consumables to maintain or restore these functions until they can be accomplished with resources brought from off site. The final phase requires obtaining sufficient offsite resources to sustain those functions indefinitely. Industry is working cooperatively to implement Regional Response Centers (RRCs) in Memphis, TN and Phoenix, AZ as the repositories for offsite resources. The cooperative organization formed to manage and maintain these offsite resources and implement the Phase 3 offsite response is the Strategic Alliance for FLEX Emergency Response (SAFER). | |||
The SAFER organization and staff from Three Mile Island Nuclear Station, Unit 1 (TMI) plan to conduct a demonstration of SAFER's ability to activate the SAFER Control Center (SCC) in Lynchburg, VA, as well asa the Memphis RRC, and deliver Phase 3 offsite equipment to the TMI site in accordance with the SAFER response plan on July 10, 2014. This document outlines the audit process that the NRC staff will follow while observing this demonstration. The NRC staff will document its observations from the proof-of-concept demonstration as part of its evaluation of the readiness of the RRCs and the SAFER organization to support Phase 3 of licensees' Mitigating Strategies in response to Order EA-12-049. | |||
Enclosure | |||
NRC staff will observe and evaluate the Proof-of-Concept demonstration in accordance with the SAFER Response Plan based on the requirements in Order EA-12-049. | |||
The Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI) developed NEI 12-06, "Diverse and Flexible Coping Strategies (FLEX) Implementation Guide" in August, 2012 (ADAMS Accession No. ML12242A378) to outline a process, by which, individual licensees would define and implement site-specific diverse and flexible mitigation strategies that reduce the risk associated with beyond-design-basis conditions. FLEX represents the industry's approach to addressing the three phase approach for mitigation strategies, as described above. This guide was endorsed, with clarifications, by NRC interim staff guidance (ISG) JLD-ISG-2012-01 "Compliance with Order EA-12-049, "Order Modifying Licenses with Regard to Requirements for Mitigation Strategies for Beyond-Design-Basis External Events" (ADAMS Accession No. ML12229A174). | |||
AUDIT SCOPE The purpose of the audits is to observe the industry's RRC proof-of-concept demonstration in order to evaluate: (1) coordination between the licensee, the SAFER organization, and state and local officials in a simulated BDBEE scenario requiring the need for offsite equipment, and (2) the SAFER organization's ability and readiness to deliver needed offsite equipment to a United States nuclear power plant to support the licensees' Phase 3 strategies needed to comply with Order EA-12-049 ( Mitigating Strategies ). | |||
The audit will be performed in accordance with NRC Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation (NRR) Office Instruction LIC-111, "Regulatory Audits," (ADAMS Accession No. ML082900195) to support the development of safety evaluations regarding licensees' final integrated plans in response to Order EA-12-049. | |||
NRC AUDIT TEAM AND LOGISTICS NRC staff will observe the RRC Proof-of-Concept demonstration at various locations at or near TMI, at the SAFER Control Center in Lynchburg, VA, and at the RRC in Memphis, TN on July 10, 2014. | |||

UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION WASHINGTON, D.C. 20555-0001 July 2, 2014 Mr. Michael J. Pacilio President and Chief Nuclear Officer Exelon Nuclear 4300 Winfield Road Warrenville, IL 60555
SUBJECT:
PLAN TO AUDIT THE REGIONAL RESPONSE CENTER PROOF OF CONCEPT DEMONSTRATION WITH THREE MILE ISLAND NUCLEAR STATION, UNIT 1 REGARDING IMPLEMENTATION OF PHASE 3 RELATED TO ORDER EA-12-049 (MITIGATING STRATEGIES)
Dear Mr. Pacilio:
On March 12, 2012, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) issued Order EA-12-049, "Order Modifying Licenses with Regard to Requirements for Mitigation Strategies for Beyond-Design-Basis External Events" (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML12054A736), requiring holders of operating licenses and construction permits issued under Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations Part 50 to submit for review, Overall Integrated Plans (OIPs) including descriptions of how compliance with the requirements of Attachment 2 of the order will be achieved.
This order requires a three-phase approach for mitigating beyond-design-basis external events.
The initial phase requires the use of installed equipment and resources to maintain or restore core cooling, containment and spent fuel pool (SFP) cooling capabilities. The transition phase requires providing sufficient, portable, onsite equipment and consumables to maintain or restore these functions until they can be accomplished with resources brought from off site. The final phase requires obtaining sufficient offsite resources to sustain those functions indefinitely.
Industry is working cooperatively via the Strategic Alliance for FLEX Emergency Response (SAFER) to implement Regional Response Centers (RRCs) in Memphis, TN, and Phoenix, AZ as the repositories for offsite resources.
On July 10, 2014, the SAFER organization and staff from Three Mile Island Nuclear Station, Unit 1 (TMI) plan to conduct a demonstration of SAFER's ability to activate the SAFER Control Center ,as well as the Memphis RRC and deliver Phase 3 off-site equipment to the TMI site in accordance with the SAFER response plan. The enclosed document outlines the audit process that the NRC staff will follow while observing this demonstration. The NRC staff will document its observations from the demonstration as part of its evaluation of the readiness of the RRCs and the SAFER organization to support Phase 3 of licensees' Mitigating Strategies in response to Order EA-12-049.
M. Pacilio If you have any questions, please contact me at 301-415-2365 or by e-mail at Stephen. Philpott@nrc.gov.

Audit Plan SAFER Response Proof of Concept Demonstration Three Mile Island Nuclear Station, Unit 1 Regional Response Center- Memphis, TN SAFER Control Center- Lynchburg, VA BACKGROUND AND AUDIT BASIS On March 12, 2012, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) issued Order EA-12-049, "Order Modifying Licenses with Regard to Requirements for Mitigation Strategies for Beyond-Design-Basis External Events" (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML12054A736), requiring holders of operating licenses and construction permits issued under Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations Part 50 to submit for review, Overall Integrated Plans (OIPs) including descriptions of how compliance with the requirements of Attachment 2 of the order will be achieved. In accordance with the order, the OIPs were submitted by February 2013, and required subsequent 6-month updates were submitted in August 2013 and February 2014. Licensees are in the process of implementing the requirements identified in the order. Licensees are required to complete full implementation no later than two refueling cycles after submittal of the OIPs or by December 31, 2016, whichever comes first.
Since receiving the OIPs, the NRC staff has started the audit process, as well as reviewing any related additional information, to determine the extent to which the licensees are proceeding on a path towards successful implementation. The NRC staff has provided feedback to licensees on their submittals via Interim Staff Evaluations (ISEs); which were completed in February 2014.
Order EA-12-049 requires a three-phase approach for mitigating beyond-design-basis external events (BDBEE). The initial phase requires the use of installed equipment and resources to maintain or restore core cooling, containment and spent fuel pool (SFP) cooling capabilities.
The transition phase requires providing sufficient, portable, onsite equipment and consumables to maintain or restore these functions until they can be accomplished with resources brought from off site. The final phase requires obtaining sufficient offsite resources to sustain those functions indefinitely. Industry is working cooperatively to implement Regional Response Centers (RRCs) in Memphis, TN and Phoenix, AZ as the repositories for offsite resources. The cooperative organization formed to manage and maintain these offsite resources and implement the Phase 3 offsite response is the Strategic Alliance for FLEX Emergency Response (SAFER).
The SAFER organization and staff from Three Mile Island Nuclear Station, Unit 1 (TMI) plan to conduct a demonstration of SAFER's ability to activate the SAFER Control Center (SCC) in Lynchburg, VA, as well asa the Memphis RRC, and deliver Phase 3 offsite equipment to the TMI site in accordance with the SAFER response plan on July 10, 2014. This document outlines the audit process that the NRC staff will follow while observing this demonstration. The NRC staff will document its observations from the proof-of-concept demonstration as part of its evaluation of the readiness of the RRCs and the SAFER organization to support Phase 3 of licensees' Mitigating Strategies in response to Order EA-12-049.
Enclosure
NRC staff will observe and evaluate the Proof-of-Concept demonstration in accordance with the SAFER Response Plan based on the requirements in Order EA-12-049.
The Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI) developed NEI 12-06, "Diverse and Flexible Coping Strategies (FLEX) Implementation Guide" in August, 2012 (ADAMS Accession No. ML12242A378) to outline a process, by which, individual licensees would define and implement site-specific diverse and flexible mitigation strategies that reduce the risk associated with beyond-design-basis conditions. FLEX represents the industry's approach to addressing the three phase approach for mitigation strategies, as described above. This guide was endorsed, with clarifications, by NRC interim staff guidance (ISG) JLD-ISG-2012-01 "Compliance with Order EA-12-049, "Order Modifying Licenses with Regard to Requirements for Mitigation Strategies for Beyond-Design-Basis External Events" (ADAMS Accession No. ML12229A174).
AUDIT SCOPE The purpose of the audits is to observe the industry's RRC proof-of-concept demonstration in order to evaluate: (1) coordination between the licensee, the SAFER organization, and state and local officials in a simulated BDBEE scenario requiring the need for offsite equipment, and (2) the SAFER organization's ability and readiness to deliver needed offsite equipment to a United States nuclear power plant to support the licensees' Phase 3 strategies needed to comply with Order EA-12-049 ( Mitigating Strategies ).
The audit will be performed in accordance with NRC Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation (NRR) Office Instruction LIC-111, "Regulatory Audits," (ADAMS Accession No. ML082900195) to support the development of safety evaluations regarding licensees' final integrated plans in response to Order EA-12-049.
NRC AUDIT TEAM AND LOGISTICS NRC staff will observe the RRC Proof-of-Concept demonstration at various locations at or near TMI, at the SAFER Control Center in Lynchburg, VA, and at the RRC in Memphis, TN on July 10, 2014.
