The SRP-LR allows an applicant's LRA to reference its AMPs as being consistent with the AMPs described in the GALL Report. By referencing the GALL Report AMPs in this manner, the applicant is concluding that its AMPs correspond to those AMPs and that no further staff review should be required. If an applicant credits an AMP for being consistent with a GALL Report program, it is incumbent on the applicant to ensure that the plant program contains all of the elements of the referenced GALL Report program. The applicant's determination shall be documented and maintained in an auditable, retrievable form.

Program elements 7 - 9 (corrective actions, confirmation process, and administrative controls) are audited by another NRC project team during the scoping and screening methodology audit, and are evaluated separately. In addition, the staff will verify that the conditions at the plant are bounded by the conditions for which the GALL Report program was evaluated. The staff will also examine the applicant's program bases documents and related references for these AMPs, perform selected in-plant walkdowns, and interview applicant representatives to obtain additional clarification related to the AMPs.

Audit Plan Aging Management Program Review for the Waterford Steam Electric Station, Unit 3 License Renewal Application

Division of License Renewal Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission License Renewal Aging Management Program Audit Plan Waterford Steam Electric Station, Unit 3 1. Background By letter dated March 23, 2016, Entergy Operations, Inc. (the applicant), submitted to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC or the staff) its application for renewal of operating license no. NPF-38 for the Waterford Steam Electric Station, Unit 3 (Waterford 3). Waterford 3 requested a renewal of the operating license for an additional 20 years beyond the 40-year current license term, which expires midnight on December 18, 2024. The staff from the Division of License Renewal will lead a regulatory audit to gain a better understanding of the applicant's aging management programs (AMPs), aging management reviews, and associated bases and documentation as applicable. 2. Regulatory Audit Bases License renewal requirements are specified in Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 54 (10 CFR Part 54), "Requirements for Renewal of Operating Licenses for Nuclear Power Plants." Guidance is provided in NUREG-1800, Rev. 2, "Standard Review Plan for Review of License Renewal Applications for Nuclear Power Plants" (SRP-LR), dated December 2010, and NUREG-1801, Rev. 2, "Generic Aging Lessons Learned (GALL) Report," dated December 2010. 3. Regulatory Audit Scope The scope of this regulatory audit is to: (a) examine the applicant's AMPs for Waterford 3; and (b) verify the applicant's claims of consistency with the corresponding GALL Report AMPs. Enhancements to AMPs will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis. Exceptions to the GALL Report AMP elements will be evaluated separately as part of the NRC staff's review of the license renewal application (LRA), and will be documented in the staff's safety evaluation report.

The SRP-LR allows an applicant's LRA to reference its AMPs as being consistent with the AMPs described in the GALL Report. By referencing the GALL Report AMPs in this manner, the applicant is concluding that its AMPs correspond to those AMPs and that no further staff review should be required. If an applicant credits an AMP for being consistent with a GALL Report program, it is incumbent on the applicant to ensure that the plant program contains all of the elements of the referenced GALL Report program. The applicant's determination shall be documented and maintained in an auditable, retrievable form.

During this audit, the staff will audit program elements 1 - 6 (scope, preventive actions, parameters monitored or inspected, detection of aging effects, monitoring and trending, and acceptance criteria), and program element 10 (operating experience), of the applicant's AMPs claimed to be consistent with the GALL Report against the equivalent elements of the associated AMP described in the GALL Report, unless otherwise indicated. Program elements 7 - 9 (corrective actions, confirmation process, and administrative controls) are audited by another NRC project team during the scoping and screening methodology audit, and are evaluated separately. In addition, the staff will verify that the conditions at the plant are bounded by the conditions for which the GALL Report program was evaluated. The staff will also examine the applicant's program bases documents and related references for these AMPs, perform selected in-plant walkdowns, and interview applicant representatives to obtain additional clarification related to the AMPs.

4. Information and Other Material Necessary for the Regulatory Audit The project team will review the LRA, the AMP basis documents and other applicant supporting documents as appropriate.

The project team would like for at least one hard-copy set of AMPs, AMP basis documents, and all other relevant documentation to be available in the team's work room.

Work space and team support logistics: One general team work area with seating and laptop space for 18 people.

Three break-out rooms for question/answer/small group sessions and meetings, so that work in the main room will not be disrupted.

Telephone access for in-plant and/or outside business-related calls. The break-out rooms should also have speaker phone capability for conference calls. Access to printers for printing out drafts, draft requests for additional information, review comments, schedules, and so on.

Access to a copier for making duplicates for team use, meeting agendas and so on.

5. Team Assignments NRC staff participation is projected as follows (some deletions, additions or substitutions may occur on an as-needed basis):
