AUDIT
SUMMARY
1.0 Entrance Meeting (October 24, 2016)
At the audit entrance meeting, the NRC staff audit team introduced itself followed by introductions from the licensee's staff. The NRC audit team provided a brief overview of the audit's objectives and anticipated schedule.
2.0 Integrated Mitigation Strategies Compliance Program Overview Per the audit plan and as an introduction to the site's program, the licensee provided a presentation to the NRC audit team titled "FitzPatrick FLEX/SFPl/EP-Comm NRC Audit."
The licensee provided an overview of its strategy to maintain core cooling, containment, and SFP cooling in the event of a BDBEE, and the plant modifications being done in order to implement the strategies. The licensee also presented the planned location of the FLEX equipment storage facilities, the FLEX equipment that would be stored there, the interface with the National Strategic Alliance of FLEX Emergency Response (SAFER) Response Center (NSRC), and information regarding communications, preventative maintenance, procedures, and training. The presentation included an overview of the spent fuel pool level indication modification.
3.0 Onsite Audit Technical Discussion Topics Based on the audit plan, and with a particular emphasis on the Part 2 "Specific Technical Review Items," the NRC staff technical reviewers conducted interviews with licensee technical staff, site walk-downs, and detailed document reviews for the items listed in the plan. Results of these technical reviews that require additional information from the licensee or are still under NRC review are documented in the audit item status table in Attachment 3, as discussed in the Conclusion section below.
3.1 Reactor/Balance-of-Plant Systems Technical Discussions and Walk-Downs The NRC staff met with licensee staff to discuss the amount of leakage from the recirculation pump seals, reactor pressure vessel (RPV) makeup strategy, the availability of water sources, and the ability to remove heat from the RPV. Similarly the staff reviewed the licensee's provisions for SFP cooling/make-up. These reviews included the applicable analyses and flow calculations. The NRC staff also walked down the licensee's strategies and reviewed plant procedures for implementing the core/SFP cooling and makeup strategies.
3.2 Electrical Technical Discussions and Walk-Downs
- a. The NRC staff reviewed the calculations and strategy regarding extending battery life based on load shedding, and walked down the battery rooms to evaluate strategies for hydrogen and temperature control. The NRC staff also walked down panels used for load shedding to evaluate feasibility and timing.
- b. The NRC staff walked down connection points and locations for FLEX electrical generators. In order to support the licensee's Phase 2 strategy, one 480 volt electrical generator will be deployed. The licensee will have a second backup
("N+1") generator available. The two generators will be stored (one each) in the two FLEX storage buildings planned for construction on the JAF site. The staff reviewed the licensee's load and sizing calculations for the FLEX generators.
3.3 SFPI Technical Discussions and Walk-Downs The NRG staff walked down the instrument, transmitter, electronics, and display locations for the SFP level instrumentation, along with the associated cable runs. No concerns were identified during the walk-down. The NRG staff also reviewed the associated calibration, maintenance and test procedures for the SFP level instrumentation.
3.4 Other Technical Discussion Areas and Walk-Downs
- a. The NRG staff toured the areas where the two FLEX storage buildings are planned for construction. The FLEX storage buildings are designed to survive all site hazards except tornado missiles. The licensee located the two buildings with a separation distance designed to comply with the provisions of NEI 12-06 to account for the potential of tornado missiles. The NRG staff walked down equipment haul routes from the "N+ 1" FLEX storage building location to the designated deployment sites, and walked down haul routes from designated staging areas for equipment that will be delivered from the NSRG.
- b. The NRG staff walked down the FLEX strategies for the RPV inventory and SFP inventory functions. In Phase 2 of the event the licensee proposes to use an alternative to the NEI 12-06 (Revision 0) provision for portable pumps through the use of the two installed diesel-driven fire water pumps for RPV and SFP makeup.
The staff walked down the necessary hose routes and deployment connection points (primary and alternate) that would be used in this strategy.
- c. The NRG staff reviewed the strategy that will be implemented by the licensee to refuel the diesel-powered FLEX equipment. The NRG staff reviewed the instructions for refueling the equipment, as well as the equipment needed to perform the refueling. Additionally, the staff reviewed the licensee's procedures for ensuring adequate fuel quality.
- d. The licensee's cooldown strategy relies on operation of the safety relief valves (SRVs). The NRG staff reviewed the capability to operate the SRVs during an extended loss of alternating current power (ELAP).
- e. The containment/core cooling strategy relies on the ability to vent containment at proper point in the event. The licensee plans to use the existing containment vent to accomplish this function. The staff walked down the accessible portions of the vent path and also reviewed the plan for venting, including the necessary valves to be operated, ductwork provisions, and door openings needed to control the venting process.
- f. The NRG staff reviewed the licensee's plans to ensure adequate communications, lighting, personnel access, and equipment access, to successfully implement the strategies. The NRG staff interviewed plant personnel responsible for these areas,
and observed emergency response organization (ERO) features, lighting and communication features during plant walk-downs.
4.0 Exit Meeting (October 27, 2016)
The NRC staff audit team conducted pre-exit and exit meetings with licensee staff following the completion of the onsite review activities. The NRC staff highlighted items still under review and noted that the results of the onsite audit trip will be documented in this report. Items that are still under NRC review are detailed in Attachment 3 of this report.
CONCLUSION The NRC staff completed all three parts of the September 27, 2016, onsite audit plan. Each audit item listed in Part 2 of the plan was reviewed by NRC staff members while on site. In addition to the list of NRC and licensee onsite audit staff participants in Attachment 1, provides a list of documents reviewed during the onsite audit portion.
In support of the continuing audit process, as the licensee proceeds towards orders compliance for this site, Attachment 3 provides the status of all open audit review items that the NRC staff is evaluating in anticipation of issuance of a combined safety evaluation (SE) for both the mitigation strategies and SFPI orders. This attachment includes items remaining from the onsite audit, as well as any items that are being reviewed exclusively in the NRC offices, or have been added since the onsite audit. The five sources for the audit items referenced below are as follows:
- a. Mitigation strategies ISE open Items and confirmatory items
- b. Mitigation strategies audit questions (AQs)
- c. Licensee-identified 01 P Open Items
- d. SFPI RAls
- e. Additional SE needed information While this report notes the completion of the onsite portion of the audit per the audit plan dated September 27, 2016, the ongoing audit process continues, as per letters dated August 28, 2013, and March 26, 2014, to all licensees and construction permit holders for both orders.
Additionally, while Attachment 3 provides a progress snapshot of the NRG staff's review of the licensee's OIPs, as supplemented, and as augmented in the audit process, the status and progress of the NRG staff's review may change based on licensee plan changes, resolution of generic issues, and other NRG staff concerns not previously documented. Changes in the NRG staff review will be communicated in the ongoing audit process.

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.
The ongoing audits allow 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 and updated information, audit information provided one-portals, and preliminary Overall Program Documents/Final Integrated Plans while identifying additional information necessary for the licensee to supplement its plan and staff potential concerns.
In support of the ongoing audit of the licensee's OIPs, as supplemented, the NRC staff conducted an onsite audit at JAF from October 24 - 27, 2016, per the audit plan dated September 27, 2016 (ADAMS Accession No. ML16252A387). The purpose of the onsite portion of the audit was to provide the NRC staff the opportunity to continue the audit review and gain key insights most easily obtained at the plant as to whether the licensee is on the correct path for compliance with the Mitigation Strategies and SFPI orders. The onsite activities included detailed analysis and calculation discussion, walk-throughs of strategies and equipment laydown, visualization of portable equipment storage and deployment, staging and deployment of offsite equipment, and physical sizing and placement of SFPI equipment.
The enclosed audit report provides a summary of the activities for the onsite audit portion.
Additionally, this report contains an attachment listing all open audit items currently under NRC staff review.
