REQUEST FOR NRC TRIENNIAL BASELINE COMPONENT DESIGN BASES | |||
INSPECTION NRC INSPECTION REPORT 05000382/2009009 | |||
Dear Mr. Joseph Kowalewski, | |||
On August 24, 2009, the NRC will begin a triennial baseline Component Design Bases | |||
Inspection at the Waterford Steam Electric Station, Unit 3. A six-person team will perform this | |||
inspection using NRC Inspection Procedure 71111.21, "Component Design Bases Inspection." | |||
The inspection focuses on components and operator actions that have high risk and low design | |||
margins. The samples reviewed during this inspection will be identified during an information | |||
gathering visit and during the subsequent in-office preparation week. In addition, a number of | |||
operating experience issues will also be selected for review. | |||
The inspection will include an information gathering site visit by the team leader and a senior | |||
reactor analyst, and 3-weeks of onsite inspection by the team. The inspection will consist of | |||
four NRC inspectors and two contractors, of which five will focus on engineering and one on | |||
operations. The current inspection schedule is as follows: | |||
Onsite information gathering visit: Week of August 3, 2009 | |||
Preparation Week: August 17-21, 2009 | |||
Onsite weeks: August 24-28, 2009 and September 8-18, 2009 | |||
The purpose of the information gathering visit is to meet with members of your staff to identify | |||
potential risk-significant components and operator actions. The lead inspector will also request | |||
a tour of the plant with members of your operations staff and probabilistic safety assessment | |||
staff. During the onsite weeks, several days of time will be needed on the plant-referenced | |||
simulator in order to facilitate the development of operator action-based scenarios. | |||
Additional information and documentation needed to support the inspection will be identified | |||
during the inspection, including interviews with engineering managers, engineers, and | |||
probabilistic safety assessment staff. | |||
Entergy Operations, Inc. -2- | |||
Our experience with these inspections has shown that they are extremely resource intensive, | |||
both for the NRC inspectors and the licensee staff. In order to minimize the inspection impact | |||
on the site and to ensure a productive inspection, we have enclosed a request for information | |||
needed for the inspection. The request has been divided into three groups. The first group lists | |||
information necessary for the information gathering visit and for general preparation. This | |||
information should be available to the regional office no later than July 22, 2009. Insofar as | |||
possible, this information should be provided electronically to the lead inspector. Since the | |||
inspection will be concentrated on high risk/low margin components, calculations associated | |||
with your list of high risk components should be available to review during the information | |||
gathering visit to assist in our selection of components based on available design margin. | |||
The second group of documents requested is those items that the team will need access to | |||
during the preparation week in order to finalize the samples to be inspected. The third group | |||
lists information necessary to aid the inspection team in tracking issues identified as a result of | |||
the inspection. It is requested that this information be provided to the lead inspector as the | |||
information is generated during the inspection. Additional requests by inspectors will be made | |||
throughout all three onsite weeks for specific documents needed to complete the review of that | |||
component/selection. It is important that all of these documents are up to date and complete in | |||
order to minimize the number of additional documents requested during the preparation and/or | |||
the onsite portions of the inspection. In order to facilitate the inspection, we request that a | |||
contact individual be assigned to each inspector to ensure information requests, questions, and | |||
concerns are addressed in a timely manner. | |||
The lead inspector for this inspection is Mr. Ronald A. Kopriva. We understand that our | |||
licensing engineer contact for this inspection is Mr. Michael Mason. If there are any questions | |||
about the inspection or the requested materials, please contact the lead inspector at (817) 860- | |||
8104 or via e-mail at ron.kopriva@nrc.gov. | |||
In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 of the NRC's "Rules of Practice," a copy of this letter will be | |||
made available electronically for public inspection in the NRC Public Document Room or from | |||
the Publicly Available Records (PARS) component of NRCs document system (ADAMS). | |||
ADAMS is accessible from the NRC Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html (the | |||

REQUEST FOR NRC TRIENNIAL BASELINE COMPONENT DESIGN BASES
INSPECTION NRC INSPECTION REPORT 05000382/2009009
Dear Mr. Joseph Kowalewski,
On August 24, 2009, the NRC will begin a triennial baseline Component Design Bases
Inspection at the Waterford Steam Electric Station, Unit 3. A six-person team will perform this
inspection using NRC Inspection Procedure 71111.21, "Component Design Bases Inspection."
The inspection focuses on components and operator actions that have high risk and low design
margins. The samples reviewed during this inspection will be identified during an information
gathering visit and during the subsequent in-office preparation week. In addition, a number of
operating experience issues will also be selected for review.
The inspection will include an information gathering site visit by the team leader and a senior
reactor analyst, and 3-weeks of onsite inspection by the team. The inspection will consist of
four NRC inspectors and two contractors, of which five will focus on engineering and one on
operations. The current inspection schedule is as follows:
Onsite information gathering visit: Week of August 3, 2009
Preparation Week: August 17-21, 2009
Onsite weeks: August 24-28, 2009 and September 8-18, 2009
The purpose of the information gathering visit is to meet with members of your staff to identify
potential risk-significant components and operator actions. The lead inspector will also request
a tour of the plant with members of your operations staff and probabilistic safety assessment
staff. During the onsite weeks, several days of time will be needed on the plant-referenced
simulator in order to facilitate the development of operator action-based scenarios.
Additional information and documentation needed to support the inspection will be identified
during the inspection, including interviews with engineering managers, engineers, and
probabilistic safety assessment staff.

Our experience with these inspections has shown that they are extremely resource intensive,
both for the NRC inspectors and the licensee staff. In order to minimize the inspection impact
on the site and to ensure a productive inspection, we have enclosed a request for information
needed for the inspection. The request has been divided into three groups. The first group lists

inspection will be concentrated on high risk/low margin components, calculations associated
with your list of high risk components should be available to review during the information
gathering visit to assist in our selection of components based on available design margin.
The second group of documents requested is those items that the team will need access to
during the preparation week in order to finalize the samples to be inspected. The third group
lists information necessary to aid the inspection team in tracking issues identified as a result of
the inspection. It is requested that this information be provided to the lead inspector as the

about the inspection or the requested materials, please contact the lead inspector at (817) 860-
8104 or via e-mail at ron.kopriva@nrc.gov.
In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 of the NRC's "Rules of Practice," a copy of this letter will be
made available electronically for public inspection in the NRC Public Document Room or from
the Publicly Available Records (PARS) component of NRCs document system (ADAMS).
