III Lead Inspector Preparation Activities
Review licensee material received based on information request letter, Review PRA
information with the SRAs, select 30 high risk components, and provide the team a copy
of the inspection plan.
Information Requests
-2-
As part of the inspection preparation, the lead inspector contacted the licensee,
informed them of the scope of the inspection, and requested that the necessary
information be provided to the inspection team. The information request letter was sent
to the license on November 6, 2006.
Distribution of Collected Information
On Monday, January 22, 2007, or sooner, the lead inspector will distribute information
provided by the licensee, for the 30 components selected by the SRA and the lead
inspector. The majority of the information will be provided electronically. This
information will be reviewed by the team members in order to reduce the selected items
to about 15-20 high risk/low margin (HR/LM) components and to divide up the
components to be reviewed by the team during the onsite inspection weeks. In addition,
other items required by the procedure will be selected.
IV Team Preparation Activities
In-office Prep Week to select final 15-20 components and other items based on high
risk significance and the least available margin. (January 22-26, 2007)
We will have a team meeting on Monday, January 22nd, at 2:00 pm to discuss inspection
logistics and plan. Team members will use this preparation week to review the design
related material the licensee provided for the 30 selected components to determine low
margin components and to narrow the selection to the final 15-20 HR/LM components to
be inspected during the onsite inspection weeks. In addition, HR/LM operator actions,
operating experience, and related modifications and condition reports will be selected
during this week. The specific team assignments will be determined during this
preparation week. A second team meeting will be held on Thursday, January 25, at
10:00 am to discuss specific team assignments, final selection of (15-20) components
and other inspection items. In addition, the lead inspector will combine the list of
additional team member requested information to be submitted to the licensee so that
the information will be ready for review during the first onsite inspection week.
The inspectors should review the latest revised inspection procedure to familiarize
themselves with the process for selection of components, operator actions, and
operating experience; and conduct of the inspection. Latest completed CDBI inspection
reports, should be reviewed. In particular, review the following RIII issued CDBI
inspection reports: Quad Cities 254/265/2006003(DRS) and Duane Arnold IR #
331/2006007(DRS) (Follow latest report format to write your input; including the list of
documents). Also, please review the Kewaunee CDBI pilot IR #305/2005002(DRS) for
attributes and components inspected and be mind full of what was looked at during the
pilot inspection to ensure that we do not review the same attributes/documents during
this inspection, as much as possible. Also, the inspection procedure and the Matrix
provided by the lead inspector identifies a number of component design review
attributes and considerations that can be used in support of the inspection to verify
certain system or component attributes. Since most of the material may be electronic,
inspectors should bring a laptop computer to the site for their use in preparation for the
-3-
inspection. Also, if possible, bring a memory stick for efficient information transfer of
findings and exit notes between team members and the lead inspector.
A component inspection Matrix will be developed to identify component attributes to be
inspected and team member assignments.
Component Selection
The sample selection of 15-20 components should be based on risk significance and the
least available margin. The team will initially select more than the minimum required to
ensure the minimum number of samples are met. If it is determined that either the team
does not have the time or resources to complete all of the selected components, they
will not be included as part of the number of completed samples. Design margin is
typically defined as the difference between the actual (or predicted) and required
performance of a system, component, or operator action (see IP for more details). The
procedure states that the following attributes should be considered in evaluating
component margin, analytical (design) margin, operations margin, maintenance margin
and complexity margin. Margin includes, corrective action insights, maintenance
history, design changes, complex design schemes, and maintenance rule insights.
Low margin can be a function of the original design, caused by design modifications,
power uprates, or can be due to degraded material conditions. Inspection samples
(safety or non-safety risk significant components) should be identified at the major
component (e.g. pump, motor operated valve, batteries, etc.) or procedural step level to
assist in inspection planning. Included within the sample selected should be passive
components such as sump screens, strainers, piping, cables, etc., whose failure could
impact system functionality, component design function that involves a lot of operation
and human actions, availability/reliability issues, and components design attributes
which are not fully demonstrated through testing. To the extent practical, the sample
should include a diverse range of equipment. The team in their selection of samples
should attempt to limit the number of systems involved (i.e. select pump, valve, strainer,
etc, in same system, if possible), which will limit the amount of preparation time required
to understand design and system requirements necessary to conduct a successful
inspection.
In order to identify low margin areas, the inspectors should review detailed calculations
associated with the identified risk-significant components to identify areas of low margin.
In this case, the inspector should identify calculations showing little margin between
predicted results and calculation and/or regulatory acceptance criteria.
In addition, the margin review should include corrective action program insights and
repetitive maintenance summaries associated with the identified risk-significant
components as poor performing components may be indicative of inadequate design.
Component review should also include evaluation of the impact of plant modifications or
licensing basis changes on available margin. In particular, licensing changes that can
reduce safety analysis margins, such as extended power uprates, should be considered.
-4-
The SRA and SRI will participate and provide information to be used for selecting the
samples for review.
Operator Action Selection
The operations inspector should review the list of risk significant operator actions
provided by the licensee, and with insights provided by the SRA the resident inspector,
and the team leader select 3-5 for review during the inspection. A review of operating
procedures, and operator task analysis validation studies should be performed to
identify critical operator actions with little margin between the time required and the time
available to complete an action. Based on the operator actions selected, the inspector
should request from the licensee the procedures necessary to conduct the operations.
Select high risk operator actions that have no job performance measure (JPM).
Operating Experience Selection
Based on the components selected, the regional inspectors will review the list of
operating experience provided by the licensee and identify selected operating
experience issues, either component specific, common cause, or generic issues that the
team may want to evaluate. Other operating experience that the inspectors are aware
of that may be relevant to the components selected can also be selected for review. In
addition, the team should identify for review one or two generic or common cause issues
that are not related to the selected samples. Some of the operating experience selected
should cover initiating events and barrier integrity cornerstones. Based on those issues
identified, the team will narrow down the samples to 4-6, which will be divided between
team members, as appropriate.
Additional Prep Activities
Once it is determined which components, operator actions, and operating experience
samples will be reviewed, they will be assigned to individual inspectors. Once this
designation has been accomplished, the inspectors should obtain sufficient familiarity
with the chosen components, operator actions, and operating experience samples and
their associated systems to understand the design and safety requirement for the
samples selected and their associated system. The inspectors should also review the
flow paths (mechanical) and control logic circuitry (electrical) for the selected
components to verify if other components in those flow paths or control logic could
potentially affect their function. For each component or inspection area assigned, the
inspector needs to develop a list of attributes (see IP 71111.21, section 02.02, Appendix
1 and Appendix 2 for examples) that will be reviewed during the inspection. The
inspectors review should also identify potential areas where the interface between
engineering and operations procedures can be reviewed by the operations inspector to
ensure design requirements are adequately implemented into procedures.
The inspectors should review the list of modifications performed on their assigned
components to determine whether any are either complex, reduced margin, required for
power uprate, etc., such that the modification should be considered for review during the
inspection. Although the inspection procedure does not identify a specific number of
-5-
modifications that need to be reviewed, the team will select approximately 4-6
modifications for review (one per inspector). These modifications will be selected by the
team from those identified by individual team members. Note that a modification/50.59
inspection was performed by the NRC in November 2006 which looked at modifications
completed in the last 2 years. Make sure we do not select the same modifications for
review during this inspection.
Requests for Additional Information
During the course of the inspection, team members should request their licensee
contact to provide any specific information and/or documents they want to have readily
available when they return to the site. This might include any specific modification
packages, calculations, drawings, condition reports, procedures, and scheduling
interviews or walkdowns, etc. Licensee computers may be available in the conference
room with access to mainly calculations, condition reports and procedures.
V Onsite Inspection Activities
Plant Walkdowns
The inspectors are expected to walkdown their assigned components and their
associated systems by discipline groups (electrical, mechanical, operations). The intent
of the component/system walkdowns is for the inspectors to obtain basic familiarity with
the systems, material condition of equipment, where components are located, etc. in
order to accomplish inspection objectives. During the walkdowns, the inspectors are
also asked to be aware of general plant material conditions. Any abnormal or
questionable conditions should be brought to the lead inspector to discuss with the
resident staff and the licensee.
Inspection
Successful completion of the CDBI inspection procedure requires a full understanding of
how the components and their associated system operates, and is supposed to operate.
Inspection of some broad-based attributes, such as those described in the inspection
procedure, cannot be accomplished by a single inspector working independently of the
rest of the team. However, to avoid duplication of work, each individual will be assigned
primary responsibility for the attributes being inspected. For example, if a mechanical
inspector is assigned to review a motor-operated valve, they may need an electrical
inspector to review the degraded voltage calculation. The team lead will facilitate these
types of reviews and will attempt to assign them at the start of the inspection to equalize
the work load between inspectors.
Inspectors should plan their workload so that all major areas are preliminarily reviewed
prior to the end of the first two onsite weeks of the inspection. Most of the last onsite
week should primarily be spent reviewing responses to questions previously asked,
resolving issues, and developing any findings. This does not mean that new inspection
can't be done; just that doing so leaves little time to develop issues before the end of the
inspection.
-6-
Inspection Objectives (IP 71111.21, Sections 02.02a thru e)
For the inspection attributes and inspection activities identified during the prep week,
conduct a detailed design review of the selected components calculations,
surveillances, and other associated system documentation to confirm each of the
specified attributes for your assigned areas (02.02a). Perform plant walkdowns of
selected components to verify as-built condition is consistent to design requirements
and inspect component for material condition; and review components corrective action
and maintenance history that could affect the components to function (02.02b). The
operations inspector should verify performance of risk significant operator actions, along
with a walk-through of a sample operations procedures for the selected components
(02.02c). Review permanent plant modifications to ensure design bases, licensing
bases, and performance capability have not been degraded (02.02d). Review the
licensees evaluation and disposition of selected operating experience to ensure it has
been adequately addressed (02.02e).
Identification and Resolution of Problems
Identifying Design Issues - threshold and corrective action program.
Sample of Problems - verify appropriateness of corrective actions.
In-office Inspection
Inspectors should be aware of the direct inspection hour limits for this inspection. The
number of hours used during the in-office weeks should be carefully monitored as to not
exceed the total hours allotted for this inspection. The lead inspector will track both the
preparation and direct inspection hours used for each inspector, including contractors.
This information should be provided to the lead inspector every Monday, on a weekly
basis, via e-mail. If significant issues arise that require use of more hours, the lead
inspector and branch chief should be informed prior to expending the resources.
VI Issues and Findings
Any issues arising from the inspection are to be preliminarily evaluated using MC 0612,
MC 0609 and the Kewaunee specific Phase 2 worksheets prior to more than 4 hours4.62963e-5 days <br />0.00111 hours <br />6.613757e-6 weeks <br />1.522e-6 months <br />
inspection time being spent on them. The lead inspector will have copies of the
worksheets available on site. Doing a preliminary evaluation will ensure that inspection
effort is focused on risk significant activities and will provide direction for areas needing
exploration in order to confirm a finding.
Unless an issue can be shown to be greater than minor, additional inspection time (over
the 4 hours4.62963e-5 days <br />0.00111 hours <br />6.613757e-6 weeks <br />1.522e-6 months <br />) should not be spent. If an issue appears greater than minor, then sufficient
questions need to be asked of the licensee to enable the inspectors to confirm any
assumptions and complete the Phase 1 and 2 worksheets. Green findings will be
documented in the inspection report. Findings that appear to be "other than green" or a
potential operability issue shall be immediately brought to the lead inspector's attention
so that it can be discussed with the licensee and the senior reactor analyst. If a color
-7-
cannot be determined by the end of the inspection, the issue will be described as an
"unresolved item," pending final determination of the appropriate risk significance.
Enforcement action will be handled in accordance with the Enforcement Policy.
VII Documentation
Inspection Questions
Detailed design inspections normally result in a number of questions being raised.
These questions are to be given to the licensee verbally or, if written, the licensee
must copy the information and the inspector must retain the written document. No
written information is to be provided to the licensee.
Questions should not be "stored up" to the end of the day, but given to the licensee
reasonably soon after being generated. As part of the daily interfaces with the licensee,
the lead inspector will go over the status of outstanding questions. Therefore, the team
members need to keep the lead inspector apprized of any concerns regarding the
timeliness or quality of responses to questions.
Lack of response to questions will not be accepted as a reason for any delay in
providing an input unless the licensee did not respond in a reasonable time frame
(usually 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />), the lead inspector has been informed of the delay and has discussed
it with the licensee prior to the exit, and the issue is one that has been determined to be
potentially "greater than minor." Any document requests generated on the day of the
debrief or afterwards must be approved by the lead inspector, must pertain to areas
already inspected and must be only for the purpose of finalizing a finding or ensuring an
accurate document list entry.
Report Preparation
The report will be prepared in accordance with the guidance in MC 0612, MC 0620,
Region III model inspection report, and regional procedure 1220. It's recognized that
RP 1220 does not strictly apply; however, it provides the best guidance available for
formatting of the report and document lists. Input will primarily consist of a list of the
documents reviewed, unless a finding meets the guidance for documentation. Issues
which an inspector considers as meeting the criteria for inclusion in the report shall be
discussed with the lead inspector prior to preparing an input. Finding input shall consist
of both the detailed write-up for the body of the inspection report and the associated
paragraphs for the summary of finding section of the inspection report. Also, make sure
you evaluate each finding for cross cutting aspects, discuss the cross cutting aspect
with the team lead and during team meetings and document it in the report input. Inputs
are to be e-mailed to the lead inspector within 5 working days (10 calendar days) of the
exit.
In keeping with the requirements of MC 0620 (see latest revision changes), only those
documents which were reviewed as part of meeting an inspection attribute are to be
included. The document list does not include procedures reviewed as part of
-8-
preparation for the inspection. Corrective action documents generated as a result of the
inspector's questions shall be called out separately from corrective action documents
that were in the licensee's system prior to the inspection. It is strongly recommended
that inspectors keep a list of documents up-to-date to ensure that no documents are
missed.
XIII HRMS Information
Overall Time Management
The baseline inspection hours primarily encompasses only those hours spent starting
with the first on-site inspection week and prior to the exit meeting. Time spent during
the three in-office preparation weeks are to be charged to prep. They do not include
time spent in travel, entrance or exit meetings, major licensee debriefs, checking on e-
mail, or keeping track of hours to correctly credit them. However, they do include time
spent in team meetings and in preparing for team meetings. Between 10 to 15% of the
baseline hours are to be spent in evaluating problem identification and resolution efforts.
Baseline Inspection (BI) Charges
The hours given for the this procedure is as follows:
Procedure Nominal Minimum Maximum
71111.21 347 408 470
As a result, each inspector should be able to charge approximately 102 hours0.00118 days <br />0.0283 hours <br />1.686508e-4 weeks <br />3.8811e-5 months <br /> over the
3-week inspection period (4 x 102 = 408 +/- 15%). Contractors are allotted
approximately 272 hours0.00315 days <br />0.0756 hours <br />4.497354e-4 weeks <br />1.03496e-4 months <br /> of direct inspection effort (136 each).
Preparation Charges
The lead inspector has estimated that each inspector should charge approximately 60
hours (60 X 4 = 240) to BIP for this inspection over the three weeks preparation period.
If an inspector is unable to prepare due to other work demands, please discuss this with
the lead inspector (who will then work with management to ensure proper inspection
preparation occurs.)
Documentation Charges
During the inspection, any time spent documenting items which have been reviewed is
to be charged to BID. Also, the time spent on the exit meeting is to be charged to BID.
If the inspector has no findings, documentation time should be about 6-8 hours.
Documentation of findings should take about 20 hours2.314815e-4 days <br />0.00556 hours <br />3.306878e-5 weeks <br />7.61e-6 months <br />, or more, depending on their
complexity. Please note that this does not change the time period over which the input
is due: It still will be five working days following the exit.
-9-
Checking E-mail and Other Such Activities
For planning purposes, the lead inspector has assumed that each inspector will spend a
maximum of 2 hours2.314815e-5 days <br />5.555556e-4 hours <br />3.306878e-6 weeks <br />7.61e-7 months <br /> during each on-site week of the inspection, maximum of 6 hours6.944444e-5 days <br />0.00167 hours <br />9.920635e-6 weeks <br />2.283e-6 months <br />,
checking e-mail, HRMS, or doing other activities not directly related to the inspection.
This time, if used, should be charged to general administration.
Travel Charges
All travel time is to be charged in HRMS to an IPE code of "AT", including travel during
non-regular hours (see below). For planning purposes, a total of approximately 21
hours is allotted to each inspector for travel to site and back during this inspection (7 per
week).
Overtime
Overtime for each regional inspector should be minimal and normally not to exceed 4
hours per onsite week. The overtime is to only be requested and used to meet the
inspection requirements or if an issue comes up at the end of the day that requires
prompt resolution. Inspectors need to inform the team leader if overtime will be used.
Overtime must be claimed in HRMS if used. Any overtime spent traveling (although
there shouldn't be any) also must be claimed in HRMS using the overtime code of
"CPETV".
IX Interface and Coordination Meetings
Entrance Meeting:
The team will conduct the entrance meeting on Monday, January 30, 2007, tentatively
scheduled for 9:00 a.m. Team members are expected to arrive onsite to attend the
entrance meeting. A field walkdown will be conducted after the team entrance meeting.
Licensee Debriefings
Daily debriefings with the licensee will start Tuesday, January 30th at approx. 9:30 am.
These daily meetings will normally be between the lead inspector and the licensee, with
team member attendance only on an as-needed basis.
Routine Interactions
Throughout the inspection, team members are expected to have routine interactions
with licensee employees. It is expected that these interactions will be professional in
nature and will normally be conducted without the lead inspector present. Inspectors
should keep track of any questions or requests for further information arising from these
meetings.
-10-
Team Meetings at RIII Office
Team meetings during the in-office prep week will be held on Monday, January 22nd, at
2:00 p.m. and on Thursday, January 25th, at 10:00 am. The intent of these meetings is
to discuss the selection of components, operator actions, and operating experience that
will be reviewed during the inspection, the following week. Final selection of
components, operator actions, operating experience, and modifications should occur
during this in-office prep week.
Team meetings will also be held during the last two in-office weeks on Tuesdays at
10:00 a.m. in the DRS conference room. Contractors will be tied into the meeting via
teleconference, as appropriate due to inspection hour considerations.
Team Meetings Onsite
Team meetings during the onsite inspection weeks will be held starting Tuesday,
January 30th, at 3:00 p.m. The meetings should last approximately 45 minutes. The
intent is to allow each inspector, including the lead inspector, to briefly discuss the day's
activities/issues, status of inspection activities, and any administrative or logistics items.
An extensive team meeting will be held on Wednesday , February 28th to discuss the
team's findings and determine what issues will be presented at the exit. This meeting
will probably begin at 2:00 p.m. and will probably run longer than normal team meetings.
Final De-brief
The final de-brief with the licensee will be held on Thursday, March 1st around 2:00 p.m.
Inspectors should be ready to discuss in detail the areas they inspected, observations,
and any potential violations/findings.
Exit Meeting
The team will conduct the exit meeting on Friday, March 2nd tentatively scheduled for
9:00 a.m. Team members are expected to attend the final exit meeting and to be
prepared to present any of their findings to the licensee.
X Logistics
Travel
Kewaunee is approximately 220 miles from the RIII office. The lead inspector has
allotted approximately 4.0 hours0 days <br />0 hours <br />0 weeks <br />0 months <br /> of driving travel time each way. There is no need for
Sunday travel. Additionally, the lead inspector requests that everyone use good
judgement in all travel arrangements. If severe weather conditions arise, it is expected
that inspectors will take sensible precautions during traveling.
The following hotel is in the area around Kewaunee. Per diem is (60/39/99).

Inspection Location
The inspection team will be located in room ATF-107 (1st week) and Administration
Assembly Room (2nd and 3rd weeks) rooms are inside the protected area. The telephone
extension in ATF-107 is Later and in the AAR is Later.
Hours of Work
Inspectors are expected to generally adhere to their normal working hours, as much as
possible. Significant changes should be coordinated with the lead inspector but will be
accommodated if possible. However, compressed days off should be changed to a non-
onsite week. Inspectors desiring to work overtime on their compressed days off need to
individually coordinate this with their branch chief prior to the inspection.
Work at Home
It is acceptable to the lead inspector for inspectors to have work-at-home for the in-
between week, the documentation week, and for parts of the prep weeks. Team
meetings will occur during these weeks and it is expected that inspectors working at
home will be available via teleconference for these meetings. If you desire to do work-
at-home, please note that work-at-home must be approved by the appropriate branch
chief.
