a. Evaluation of Changes, Tests, or Experiments From April 16, 2012, through May 3, 2012, the inspectors reviewed seven safety evaluations performed pursuant to Title 10, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Part 50, Section 59 to determine if the evaluations were adequate and that prior NRC approval was obtained as appropriate. The inspectors also reviewed 1 6 screenings where licensee personnel had determined that a 10 CFR 50.59 evaluation was not necessary. The inspectors reviewed these documents to determine if:

Inspection Scope the changes, tests, or experiments performed were evaluated in accordance with 10 CFR 50.59 and that sufficient documentation existed to confirm that a license amendment was not required; the safety issue requiring the change, tests or experiment was resolved; the licensee conclusions for evaluations of changes, tests, or experiments were correct and consistent with 1 0 CFR 50.59; and the design and licensing basis documentation was updated to reflect the change.

The inspectors used, in part, Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI)96-07, "Guidelines for 10 CFR 50.59 Implementation," Revision 1, to determine acceptability of the completed evaluations, and screenings. The NEI document was endorsed by the NRC in Regulatory Guide 1.187, "Guidance for Implementation of 10 CFR 50.59, Changes, Tests, and Experiments," dated November 2000. The inspectors also consulted Part 9900 of the NRC Inspection Manual, "

10 CFR Guidance for 10 CFR 50.59, Changes, Tests, and Experiments."

This inspection constituted seven samples of evaluations a nd 1 6 samples of changes as defined in IP 71111.17-04. b. No findings of significance were identified.

Findings

.2 a. Permanent Plant Modifications

From April 16, 2012, through May 3, 2012, the inspectors reviewe d eight permanent plant modifications that had been installed in the plant during the last three years. Inspection Scope

3 Enclosure This review included in-plant walkdowns for portions of the emergency diesel generators G-01 and G-02 heat exchanger s replacement modification; the removal of boric acid heat trace equipment; the removal of racks RK

-52J and RK L and reroute of transformer 1X04 low voltage side power cables modification

. The modifications were selected based upon risk

-significance, safety significance, and complexity. The inspectors reviewed the modifications selected to determine if:

the supporting design and licensing basis documentation was updated; the changes were in accordance with the specified design requirements; the procedures and training plans affected by the modification have been adequately updated; the test documentation as required by the applicable test programs has been updated; and post-modification testing adequately verified system operability and/or functionality.

The inspectors also used applicable industry standards to evaluate acceptability of the modifications. The list of modifications and other documents reviewed by the inspectors is included as an Attachment to this report.

This inspection constitut ed eight permanent plant modification samples as defined in IP 71111.17-04. b. No findings of significance were identified.

.1 Problem Identification and Resolution

a. Routine Review of Condition Reports From April 16, 2012, through May 3, 2012, the inspectors reviewe d various corrective action process documents that identified or were related to 10 CFR 50.59 evaluations and permanent plant modifications. The inspectors reviewed these documents to evaluate the effectiveness of corrective actions related to evaluations of changes, tests, or experiments and permanent p lant modifications. In addition, corrective action documents written on issues identified during the inspection were reviewed to verify adequate problem identification and incorporation of the problems into the corrective action system. The specific corrective action documents that were sampled and reviewed by the inspectors are listed in the Attachment to this report.

Inspection Scope b. No findings of significance were identified.
