INSPECTION SCOPES

Inspections were conducted using the appropriate portions of the inspection procedures (IPs) in effect at the beginning of the inspection unless otherwise noted. Currently approved IPs with their attached revision histories are located on the public website at http://www.nrc.gov/reading

-rm/doc-collections/insp

-manual/inspection

-procedure/index.html. Samples were declared complete when the IP requirements most appropriate to the inspection activity were met consistent with Inspection Manual Chapter 2515, "Light

-Water Reactor Inspection Program

- Operations Phase." The inspectors reviewed selected procedures and records, observed activities, and interviewed personnel to assess licensee performance and compliance with Commission rules and regulations, license conditions, site procedures, and standards.

REACTOR SAFETY

71114.01 - Exercise Evaluation

The inspectors evaluated the May 15, 2018 , Biennial Emergency Plan Exercise.

The exercise scenario simulated an event at Duane Arnold Energy Center that initiated with the declaration and notification of an Alert in response to an event associated with an accident that created an internal flooding hazard. The scenario conditions simulated the escalation of the significance of the event, requiring the declaration and notification of a Site Area Emergency and then a General Emergency, as well as the development of Protective Action Recommendations that were communicated to the required state and local government agencies.

71114.08 - Exercise Evaluation

-Scenario Review (1 Sample)

The inspectors reviewed and evaluated the proposed scenario for the Biennial Emergency Plan Exercise on April 13,
