Clinton Fire Protection Inspection Plan Inspection Dates: 3/20/17 - 4/21/17 Rev 1 I. OBJECTIVES AND SCOPE

1. Fire Protection The triennial inspection is primarily a risk-informed look at the mitigation elements of fire protection defense-in-depth (DID). The inspection focuses on the design of reactor plant fire protection and post-fire safe shutdown (SSD) systems, features, and procedures. The triennial fire protection inspection team will select at least between three and five fire areas and/or zones and conduct a risk-informed on-site inspection of the DID elements used to mitigate the consequences of a fire. The inspection team will examine the plants capability to meet the requirements of the NRC-approved fire protection program. The team will also review the licensees fire protection program problem identification and resolution.

The region based SRA and the lead inspector reviewed Clintons list of high fire risk areas that was provided by the licensee. This list was generated by the licensee based on the plants fire Probabilistic Risk Assessment (PRA). The areas to be selected will also based on the guidance provided in Section 02.01.a of the inspection procedure. The lead inspector, after consultation with the SRA and team members and completion of plant walkdowns during the information gathering visit, selected the following fire areas to be evaluated during the inspection:

Fire Area (Zone) Description CB-2 Division 2 Cable Spreading Room Division 2 Nuclear Systems Protection System (NSPS) Inverter CB-3e Room CB-6d Corridor and Miscellaneous Rooms D-4a Division 3 Diesel Generator Room This inspection is being performed in accordance with Inspection Procedure (IP) 71111.05T, issued January 31, 2013.

Clinton Fire Protection Inspection Plan Inspection Dates: 3/20/17 - 4/21/17 Rev 1

2. B.5.b Inspection The triennial fire protection team will review the offsite and onsite communications, notifications / emergency response organization activation, initial operational response actions and damage assessment activities identified in Table A.3-1 of Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI) 06-12, B.5.b Phase II and III Submittal Guidance, Revision 2. These are evaluated each time due to the mitigation strategies scenario selected. In addition the inspectors will review licensees preparedness to handle large fires or explosions by selecting and reviewing two mitigating strategies. This review should ensure that the licensee continues to meet the requirements of their B.5.b related license conditions and 10 CFR 50.54(hh)(2) by determining that:

Procedures are being maintained and adequate.

Equipment is properly staged and is being maintained and tested.

Station personnel are knowledgeable and can implement the procedures.

Additionally, inspectors should review the storage, maintenance, and testing of B.5.b related equipment.

The inspectors will evaluate the following mitigating strategies:

To ensure all areas are covered, each section is assigned an inspector to evaluate the plant fire area(s) and/or zone(s) selected for review:

A. Procedures are being maintained and adequate (Assigned to Robbins and Shaikh)

B. Equipment is properly staged, maintained, and tested (Assigned to Robbins and Shaikh)

C. Station personnel are knowledgeable and can implement the procedures (Assigned to Robbins and Shaikh)

3. Identification and Resolution of Problems The inspection team should verify that the licensee is identifying issues related to this inspection area at an appropriate threshold and entering the issues in the corrective action program. For a sample of selected issues documented in the corrective action program, the Page 6 of 13

Clinton Fire Protection Inspection Plan Inspection Dates: 3/20/17 - 4/21/17 Rev 1 team should verify that the corrective actions are appropriate. See IP 71152, Identification and Resolution of Problems, for additional guidance.

III. OPERATING EXPERIENCE / LESSONS LEARNED A. Unresolved Item 2014007, Interpretation Requirements for Multiple Spurious Operations Inspectors opened an unresolved item related to differences in the interpretation of requirements between the licensee and inspectors. The differences are the requirement for addressing multiple spurious operations, the number of multiple spurious operations to be evaluated, and the determination of safe shutdown components. Some of these concerns were already addressed in the Braidwood/Byron single spurious TIA issued in 2014 and those conclusions can be applied in resolving the Clinton issue.

The inspectors will review at least one sample of the licensee's preparedness to handle large fires or explosions by reviewing one or more mitigating strategies. This review should verify that the licensee continues to meet the requirements of its B.5.b related license conditions and 10 CFR 50.54 (hh)(2) by determining the following:

• Procedures are being maintained and adequate.

• Equipment is properly staged and is being maintained and tested.

• Station personnel are knowledgeable and can implement the procedures

• Additionally, inspectors should review the storage, maintenance, and testing of B.5.b related equipment.

2. Onsite Inspection (4/3 - 4/7 and 4/17 - 4/21)

Perform the inspection activities identified in the IP Section 02.02 in accordance with Section II of this inspection plan, Specific Activities and Assignments.

Fire protections inspections normally result in a number of questions being raised.

These questions are to be given to the licensee verbally or, if written, the licensee must copy the information and the inspector must retain the written document. No written information is to be provided to the licensee. Inspectors should request the licensee to go over the written question with them to ensure that the documented question is the one the inspector wants answered.

Inspectors should expect to receive responses within 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> of asking the question. If a licensee does not provide a response, or the reason why a response is delayed, then the inspectors should inform the lead inspector. The lead inspector will first bring this to the attention of licensee management in the daily debrief. If no response is obtained within 48 hours5.555556e-4 days <br />0.0133 hours <br />7.936508e-5 weeks <br />1.8264e-5 months <br />, and no reason given for the delay, then the lead inspector will go to the next level of management to question the reason for the delay.

As a reminder, in accordance with IMC 1201, inspectors shall maintain high standards of integrity in all their activities, personal and official, and conduct themselves in a manner to create and maintain public respect for the NRC and the U.S. Government.

It is imperative that inspectors conduct themselves in a professional manner. Inspectors must demonstrate, by their actions and demeanor, that as Federal employees they are committed to give the public full value of their services by putting in a full day. In addition, employees are to be aware that inappropriate behavior, both during and outside of working hours, can discredit both the individual and the NRC.

3. Offsite Inspection (3/27 - 3/31 and 4/10 - 4/14)

It is expected that each inspector uses this time to ensure the time onsite is used in the most efficient manner. Continue to review of the licensees provided documentation and develop questions and/or strategies to complete the assessments and inspections objective.

4. Inspection Documentation (4/24 - 4/28)

Inspection report input is due to the lead inspector by COB on Friday, April 28. The Inspection Report input shall be prepared in accordance with the guidance in MC 0612, MC 0620, sample inspection report, and regional procedure RP-IMC 0612. Inspectors should use the latest inspection report model template that will be provided by the lead inspector. The inspectors should only include list of documents that were substantially reviewed (per new MC 0620 guidance). Finding input shall consist of both the detailed write-up for the body of the inspection report and the associated paragraphs for the summary of finding section of the inspection report. The lead inspector will use the input provided by the inspection team members to determine which observations and conclusions should be included in the inspection report using Manual Chapter 0612 for guidance.

V. INTERFACE AND COORDINATION MEETINGS A. Entrance Meeting The team will conduct the entrance meeting on Tuesday, March 21 at 3:15 p.m. in the Eagles View Conference Room.

B. Licensee Debriefings Daily debriefings with the licensee will start on Thursday, March 23. They will be held daily at 3:00 PM in the Engineering Design Conference Room These meetings will typically be attended by the lead inspector.

C. Team Meetings Team meetings during the onsite inspection weeks will be held as needed. It is expected that each inspector ensures the lead is informed with each inspectors status of inspection activities, issues, and any administrative or logistics items.

It is currently planned that the morning of Thursday, April 20, will be primarily devoted to team discussion and characterization of findings and to determine which issues will be mentioned at the technical debrief and exit meetings.

D. Technical Debrief The final debrief with the licensee will be held on Thursday, April 20, at 2:00 PM in the Fox Cove Conference Room Each inspector will discuss in some detail the areas they inspected, observations, and any potential violations/findings.
