1EP 7 Exercise Evaluation
- Hostile Action Event (71114.0 7 - 1 Sample)
a. Inspection Scope
Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), Part 50 , Appendix E,Section IV.F.2.j, requires in part that nuclear power reactor licensees, in each eight calendar year exercise cycle, provide the opportunity for their emergency response organization (ERO) to demonstrate proficiency in the key skills necessary to respond to a hostile action (HA) directed at the plant site.
Entergy designed th e October 20
, 2015, Fitz Patrick EP exercise to satisfy that requirement, and the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) inspected the Fitz Patrick HA event exercise to assess Entergy's ability to effectively implement the Fitz Patrick Emergency Plan during a n HA event. This overall exercise inspection activity represented the completion of one sample on a biennial cycle.
The exercise evaluation consisted of the following review and assessment:
The adequacy of the Entergy FitzPatrick ERO's performance in the biennial full-participation exercise regarding the implementation of the risk significant planning standards (RSPS) described in 10 CFR 50.47(b) (4), (5), (9), and (10), which are
- emergency classification; offsite notification; radiological assessment
- onsite protective actions
, an d public protective action recommendations , respectively.
The overall adequacy of Entergy's FitzPatrick emergency response facilities with regard to Emergency Plan commitments. The facilities assessed were
- the Control Room Simulator
, the Alternative Facility
, the Central Alarm Station (CAS), the local law enforcement Incident Command Post (ICP
), and the Emergency Operations Facility (EOF
).
A review of other performance areas, such as
- the Entergy FitzPatrick ERO's: recognition of abnormal plant conditions; command and control, including interactions with site security staff; intra- and inter-facility communications; prioritization of mitigating activities; utilization of repair and field monitoring teams; interface with offsite agencies, including local law enforcement agencies; staffing and procedure adequacy; and the overall implementation of the Fitz Patrick Emergency Plan and its implementing procedures.
A review of past performance issues from the last NRC Fitz Patrick exercise inspection report and recent Entergy Fitz Patrick EP drill reports, to determine the effectiveness of licensee corrective actions as demonstrated during the October 2 0 , 201 5 , exercise and to ensure compliance with 10 CFR 50.47(b)(14).
The licensee's post
-exercise critiques, to evaluate Entergy's self-assessment of its Fitz Patrick ERO performance during the October 2 0, 201 5 , exercise and to ensure compliance with 10 CFR
, Part 50, Appendix E,Section IV.F.2.g. The inspectors reviewed the documents listed in the attachment to this report.
b. Findings
No findings were identified.
1EP 8 Exercise Evaluation
- Scenario Review (71114.0 8 - 1 Sample)
a. Inspection Scope
Prior to the October 2 0, 201 5 , emergency preparedness exercise, the NRC inspectors conducted an in
-office review of the exercise objectives and scenario, which Entergy had submitted to the NRC, to determine if the exercise would test major elements of the Fitz Patrick Emergency Plan as required by 10 CFR 50.47(b)(14). This overall exercise inspection activity represented the completion of one sample on a biennial cycle
.
The inspectors reviewed the documents listed in the attachment to this report.
b. Findings
No findings were identified.
OTHER ACTIVITIES (OA)
4OA1 Performance Indicator
Verification (71151 - 3 Samples)
a. Inspection Scope
The inspectors reviewed data for the Fitz Patrick EP Performance Indicators (PI), which are: (1) Drill and Exercise Performance (DEP)
(EP01); (2) ERO Drill Participation (EP02); and (3) Alert and Notification System (ANS) Reliability (EP03). The last NRC EP inspection at Fitz Patrick was conducted in the third calendar quarter of 201 4, so the inspectors reviewed supporting documentation from EP drills and tests from the third calendar quarter of 201 4 through the third calendar quarter of 201 5, to verify the accuracy of the reported PI data. The review of these PIs was conducted in accordance with NRC Inspection Procedure 71151, using the acceptance criteria documented in NEI 99-02, "Regulatory Assessment Performance Indicator Guidelines," Revision 7
. This inspection activity represented the completion of three samples.
b. Findings
No findings were identified.

On October 2 3, 201 4, the inspectors presented the results of this inspection to Mr. B. Sullivan , Fitz Patrick Site Vice President
, and other members of the Entergy staff. The inspectors verified that no proprietary information was retain ed by the inspectors or documented in this report
