Emergency Preparedness (EP) 1EP1 Exercise Evaluation (71114.01 1 Sample)

a. Inspection Scope

On April 5, 2016, NextEra conducted a biennial Seabrook emergency preparedness exercise, the performance of the Seabrook emergency response organization (ERO) to respond to the simulated emergency, and NextEperformance via a formal critique process, as required by Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 50.47(b) (14). 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: A review of other performance areas, such as: the licensee ERO recognition of abnormal plant conditions; command and control; intra- and inter-facility communications; prioritization of mitigating activities; utilization of repair and field monitoring teams; interface with offsite agencies; staffing and procedure adequacy; and the overall implementation of the emergency plan and its implementing procedures.

b. Findings

No findings were identified. 1EP8 Exercise Evaluation Scenario Review (71114.08 1 Sample)

a. Inspection Scope

Prior to the April 5, 2016, EP exercise, the NRC inspectors conducted an in-office review of the exercise objectives and scenario, which NextEra had submitted to the NRC, to determine if the exercise would test major elements of the Seabrook Emergency Plan as required by Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (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.

4OA1 Performance Indicator Verification (71151

3 Samples)

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors reviewed data for the Seabrook EP Performance Indicators (PI), which are:

(1) Drill and Exercise Performance (DEP);

(2) ERO Drill Participation; and,

(3) Alert and Notification System (ANS) Reliability. The last EP inspection at Seabrook was conducted in the fourth calendar quarter of 2015, so the inspectors reviewed supporting documentation from EP drills and tests from the fourth calendar quarter of 2015 through the first calendar quarter of 2016, 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 99-7. This inspection activity represented the completion of three samples.

b. Findings

No findings were identified.

4OA6 Meetings, including Exit

The inspectors presented the inspection results to Mr. Dean Curtland, Site Vice President, at the conclusion of the inspection on April 7, 2016. The inspectors verified that no proprietary information was retained by the inspectors or documented in this report.
