SUMMARY
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) continued monitoring the licensees performance by conducting an Emergency Preparedness Biennial Exercise inspection at Point Beach Nuclear Plant, Units 1 and 2 in accordance with the Reactor Oversight Process. The Reactor Oversight Process is the NRCs program for overseeing the safe operation of commercial nuclear power reactors. Refer to https://www.nrc.gov/reactors/operating/oversight.html for more information.
List of Findings and Violations No findings or violations of more-than-minor significance were identified.
Additional Tracking Items None.
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 (IMC) 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.

71114.01 - Exercise Evaluation
Inspection Review (IP Section 02.01-02.11)
The inspectors evaluated the Biennial Emergency Plan Exercise. On June 11, 2019, the exercise scenario simulated an event at the Point Beach Nuclear Plant that initiated with the declaration and notification of an Unusual Event in response to a dropped fuel transfer cask damaging the spent fuel pool (SFP) liner, resulting in SFP leakage and rising radiation levels in the area of the SFP. The scenario conditions simulated the escalation of the significance of the event, requiring the declaration of an Alert, 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
Inspection Review (IP Section 02.01 - 02.04)
The inspectors reviewed and evaluated the proposed scenario for Biennial Emergency Plan Exercise on May 9, 2019.
