Licensee Performance Review (LPR)

Objectives

  • Assess the overall safety performance of the facility for the designated review period;
  • Notify the licensee and the public of the results of the performance review;
  • Apply insights gained in the planning and scheduling of future inspection activities.

4

How Performance Review Conducted?

  • Comprehensive review of inspection results with focus on plant events and enforcement actions to identify specific performance weaknesses, trends, and/or a functional area needing improvement (ANI).
  • Identification of an ANI is usually predicated on identification of significant safety issue(s) that usually results in the issuance of escalated enforcement action.
  • When safety performance is impacted, NRC management and staff will usually increase interactions with the licensee and focus inspections to carefully review the issue or area of concern.

2017 Inspection Summary

  • The NRC completed 9 team inspections of the CFFF facility programs and processes that included approximately 1700 hours0.0197 days <br />0.472 hours <br />0.00281 weeks <br />6.4685e-4 months <br /> of core inspection and evaluation, with 14 different inspectors.

- 4 additional supplemental Inspections in CY 2017

(~450 additional hours)

  • 2 Confirmatory Action Letter inspections
  • 1 Supplemental ANI Inspection
  • 1 Enforcement Inspection 7

Safety Operations Issues

  • In the area of Safety Operations, there were several apparent violations and violations identified by the NRC.
  • In the area of Safety Operations, inspection report (IR) 2017-007, dated February 27, 2017, documented four apparent violations (AVs) related to the S-1030 scrubber system.
  • These four AVs were resolved through the Alternate Dispute Resolution program and the issuance of a Confirmatory Order dated August 9, 2017.

8

Safety Operations Issues

  • Inspection report 70-1151/2017-004, dated October 26, 2017, documented two severity level four violations involving the S2A/2B scrubber ventilation system.

- The first violation was related to the failure of safety systems designed to prevent water accumulation in the downstream ductwork, defined as a failure of an Item-Relied-Upon-For-Safety (IROFS).

- The second violation involved the licensees failure to properly implement management measures such that the IROFS above remained available and reliable to perform its intended safety function when needed.

Radiological Controls

  • None Facility Support
  • None Safeguards (Details not released to public)
  • One SL IV Violation 10

LPR Results Assessment Period January 1, 2017 - December 31, 2017 11

Performance Review Results In 2017, an Area Needing Improvement (ANI) was identified in the area of Safety Operations, due to a safety significant issue involving the S-1030 scrubber. The ANI was continued in the 2018 LPR as detailed in IR 2018-001.

  • The ANI was identified in the areas of plant operations and nuclear criticality safety due to NRC identified weaknesses in management measures and the assumptions used in the sites criticality safety evaluations (CSEs).
  • Closure of the ANI will be dependent upon demonstration of satisfactory improvement in the implementation of management measures, criticality safety evaluations, nuclear safety culture, and CO items.

No ANIs were identified in the other functional areas (Radiological Controls, Facility Support, and Safeguards).

12

Agency actions from ANI

  • The NRC is maintaining the licensee performance review frequency at a 12-month cycle until this ANI is closed (normally at a 24-month cycle).

- Completed two focused team inspections - one in 2017 and one in 2018 focusing on management measures and the assumptions used in the sites CSEs . Each inspection included approximately 60 to 90 hours0.00104 days <br />0.025 hours <br />1.488095e-4 weeks <br />3.4245e-5 months <br /> of direct inspection effort.

- The NRC will conduct a nuclear safety culture inspection following completion of CFFFs independent nuclear safety culture assessment. Tentatively scheduled for late summer 2018.

13

Performance Review Summary Through observations during the NRCs inspection program and communications with CFFF, the NRC has noted an increase in performance in:

- Implementation of management measures (e.g.

procedures, work orders, corrective actions, evaluations and assumptions, etc.)

- Enhanced nuclear safety culture awareness at the facility

- Increased employee and work engagement by senior and line management.
