                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.

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
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

NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION

REGION IV

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;

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

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.
