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) (1 Sample)

The inspectors evaluated the biennial emergency plan exercise on March 19, 2019. The exercise scenario simulated an event at the Clinton Power Station that initiated with the declaration and notification of an Alert in response to abnormal plant conditions that caused the on-shift crew to initiate a manual scram that resulted in an Anticipated Transient Without Scram. The scenario conditions simulated the escalation of the significance of the event, requiring the declaration of a 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.

Inspection Review (IP Section 02.01 - 02.04) (1 Sample)
