Audit Plan North Anna Power Station, Units 1 and 2 BACKGROUND AND AUDIT BASIS On March 12, 2012, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) issued Order EA-12-049, "Order Modifying Licenses with Regard to Requirements for Mitigation Strategies for Beyond Design-Basis External Events" and Order EA-12-051, "Order to Modify Licenses With Regard To Reliable Spent Fuel Pool Instrumentation," (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession Nos. ML12054A736 and ML12054A679 respectively). Order EA-12-049 directs licensees to develop, implement, and maintain guidance and strategies to maintain or restore core cooling, containment, and spent fuel pool (SFP) cooling capabilities in the event of a beyond-design-basis external event (BDBEE). Order EA-12-051 requires, in part, that all operating reactor sites have a reliable means of remotely monitoring wide-range SFP levels to support effective prioritization of event mitigation and recovery actions in the event of a BDBEE. The orders require holders of operating reactor licenses and construction permits issued under Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations Part 50 to submit for review, Overall Integrated Plans (OIPs) including descriptions of how compliance with the requirements of Attachment 2 of each order will be achieved.

By letter dated February 28, 2013 (ADAMS Accession No. ML13063A182), Virginia Electric and Power Company (Dominion, the licensee) submitted its OIP for North Anna Power Station, Units 1 and 2 (North Anna) in response to Order EA-12-049. By letters dated April 30, 2013, August 23, 2013, and February 27, 2014 (ADAMS Accession Nos. ML13126A207, ML13242A012, and ML14069A012 respectively), Dominion submitted a supplement and its first two six-month updates to the OIP. By letter dated August 28, 2013 (ADAMS Accession No. ML13234A503),

the NRC notified all licensees and construction permit holders that the staff is conducting audits oftheir responses to Order EA-12-049 in accordance with NRC Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation (NRR) Instruction LIC-111, "Regulatory Audits" (ADAMS Accession No. ML082900195). The purpose of the staff's audit is to determine the extent to which the licensees are proceeding on a path towards successful implementation of the actions needed to achieve full compliance with the order. This audit process led to the issuance of the North Anna interim staff evaluation (ISE) and audit report (ADAMS Accession No. ML13338A448) and continues with in-office and onsite portions of this audit.

By letter dated February 28, 2013 (ADAMS Accession No. ML13063A017), Dominion submitted its OIP for North Anna in response to Order EA-12-051. By email dated May 28, 2013 (ADAMS Accession No. ML13177A194), the NRC staff sent a request for additional information (RAI) to the licensee. By letters dated July 2, 2013, August 23, 2013, and February 27, 2014 (ADAMS Accession Nos. ML13190A310, ML13242A015, and ML14069A009 respectively), Dominion submitted its RAI responses and first two six-month updates to the OIP. The NRC staff's review to date led to the issuance of the North Anna interim staff evaluation (IS E) and request for additional information dated November 1, 2013 (ADAMS Accession No. ML13281A648). By letter dated March 26, 2014 (ADAMS Accession No. ML14083A620), the NRC notified all licensees and construction permit holders that the staff is conducting in-office and onsite audits of their responses to Order EA-12-051 in accordance with NRC NRR Office Instruction LIC-111 as discussed above.

Enclosure

The ongoing audit process, to include the in-office and onsite portions, allows the staff to assess whether it has enough information to make a safety evaluation of the Integrated Plans. The audit allows the staff to review open and confirmatory items from the mitigation strategies ISE, RAI responses from the spent fuel pool instrumentation (SFPI) ISE, the licensee's integrated plans, and other audit questions. Additionally, the staff gains a better understanding of submitted information, identifies additional information necessary for the licensee to supplement its plan, and identifies any staff potential concerns. The audit's onsite portion will occur prior to declarations of compliance for the first unit at each site.

This document outlines the on-site audit process that occurs after ISE issuance as licensees provide new or updated information via periodic updates, update audit information on e-portals, provide preliminary Overall Program Documents (OPDs)/Finallntegrated Plans (FIPs), and continue in-office audit communications with staff while proceeding towards compliance with the orders.

Following the licensee's declarations of order compliance, the NRC staff will evaluate the OIPs as supplemented, the resulting site-specific OPDs/FIPs, and, as appropriate, other licensee submittals based on the requirements in the orders. For Order EA-12-049, the staff will make a safety determination regarding order compliance using the Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI) developed guidance document NEI 12-06, "Diverse and Flexible Coping Strategies (FLEX)

Implementation Guide" issued in August, 2012 (ADAMS Accession No. ML12242A378), as endorsed by NRC interim staff guidance (ISG) JLD-ISG-2012-01 "Compliance with Order EA-12-049, 'Order Modifying Licenses with Regard to Requirements for Mitigation Strategies for Beyond-Design-Basis External Events"' (ADAMS Accession No. ML12229A174). For Order EA-12-051, the staff will make a safety determination regarding order compliance using the NEI developed guidance document NEI 12-02, "Industry Guidance for Compliance with NRC Order EA-12-051, 'To Modify Licenses with Regard to Reliable Spent Fuel Pool Instrumentation'"

(ADAMS Accession No. ML12240A307), as endorsed, with exceptions and clarifications, by NRC ISG JLD-ISG-2012-03 "Compliance with Order EA-12-051, 'Reliable Spent Fuel Pool Instrumentation'" (ADAMS Accession No. ML12221A339) as providing one acceptable means of meeting the order requirements. Should the licensee propose an alternative strategy or other method deviating from the guidance, as endorsed, for compliance, additional staff review will be required to evaluate the alternative strategy in reference to the applicable order.

AUDIT SCOPE As discussed, onsite audits will be performed per NRR Office Instruction LIC-111, "Regulatory Audits," to support the development of safety evaluations. Site-specific OIPs and OPDs/FIPs rely on equipment and procedures that apply to all units at a site, therefore, audits will be planned to support the "first unit at each site." On-site audits for subsequent units at a site will be on an as-needed basis.

The purpose of the audits is to obtain and review information responsive to the North Anna OIPs, as supplemented, open and confirmatory items from the mitigation strategies ISE, RAI responses from the SF PI ISE, and to observe and gain a better understanding of the basis for the site's overall programs to ensure the licensee is on the correct path for compliance with the Mitigation Strategies and Spent Fuel Instrumentation orders. These may include, but are not limited to:

• Onsite review and discussion for the basis and approach for detailed analysis and calculations (Orders EA-12-049, EA-12-051 );

• Walk-throughs of strategies and laydown of equipment to assess feasibility, timing, and effectiveness of a given mitigating strategy or integration of several strategies (Order EA-12-049);

• Storage, protection, access, and deployment feasibility and practicality for onsite portable equipment (Order EA-12-049);

• Evaluation of staging, access, and deployment of offsite resources to include Regional Response Center (RRC) provided equipment (Order EA-12-049); and

• Review dimensions and sizing of the SFP area, placement of the SFP level instrumentation, and applicable mounting methods and design criteria (Order EA 051 ).

NSAL-14-1 -On February 10, 2014, Westinghouse issued Nuclear Safety Advisory Letter (NSAL)-14-1, informing licensees of plants with standard Westinghouse RCP seals that 21 gpm may not be a conservative leakage rate for ELAP analysis. This value had been previously used in the ELAP analysis referenced by many Westinghouse Pressurized-Water Reactors, including the generic reference analysis SE#4 in WCAP-17601-P. Therefore, please clarify whether the assumption of 21 gpm of seal leakage per RCP (at 550 degrees F, 2250 psia) remains valid in light of the issues identified in NSAL-14-1. In so doing, please identify the specifics of the seal leak off line design and #1 seal faceplate material relative to the categories in NSAL-14-1 and identify the corresponding presumed leakage rate from NSAL-14-1 that is deemed applicable.

RVLIS -Clarify whether the reactor vessel level instrumentation system (RVLIS) indication provides a measure of collapsed level that can be used with Figures 3.3-1 SE#5 through 3.3-3 of WCAP-17792-P. If the RVLIS system does not provide an indication of collapsed level, then clarify how the required timing for RCS makeup will be determined and provide justification.

Audit Item Item Description Reference Time to reflux cooling- Please clarify whether procedural guidance for the timing of providing makeup to the reactor coolant system is based on analysis in WCAP-17792-P, pages 3-10 through 3-16. If so, provide adequate justification for basing SE#6 the timing of primary makeup on the assumption that reactor coolant pump seal leakage rates that are less than the maximum expected value under ELAP conditions will not increase.

Part 3- Specific Topics for Discussion:

1. Draft of North Anna OPD/FIP

2. Reactor systems analyses to include a discussion of applicability to WCAP-17601-P, boron mixing, WCAP-17792-P, and Nuclear Safety Advisory Letter (NSAL) 14-1
