SUMMARY OF FINDINGS
IR 05000333/2016008; 2/22/2016 - 2/25/2016; James A. FitzPatrick Nuclear Power Plant; Component Design Bases Inspection (Programs). The report covers the Component Design Bases Inspection (Programs) conducted by a team of three U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) inspectors. The significance of most findings is indicated by their color (Green, White, Yellow, Red) using Inspection Manual Chapter (IMC) 0609, "Significance Determination Process." Cross-cutting aspects associated with findings are determined using IMC 0310, "Components Within the Cross-Cutting Areas." The NRC's program for overseeing the safe operation of commercial nuclear power reactors is described in NUREG-1649, "Reactor Oversight Process," Revision 5, dated February 2014. No findings were identified.

Cornerstones: Initiating Events, Mitigating Systems, and Barrier Integrity 1R21 Component Design Bases Inspection (Programs) (IP 71111.21N - 8 samples)
.1 Inspection Sample Selection Process
The inspection team assessed the implementation of Entergy's Environmental Qualification (EQ) program, established to meet the requirements of Title 10, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 50.49, "Environmental Qualification of Electrical Equipment Important to Safety for Nuclear Power Plants." The scope of this rule includes safety-related equipment relied upon to remain functional during and following design basis events, non-safety-related equipment whose failure under postulated environmental conditions could prevent safety-related equipment from performing design functions, and certain post-accident monitoring equipment. The team selected risk significant components for review using information contained in the James A. FitzPatrick Nuclear Power Plant (FitzPatrick) Probabilistic Risk Assessment (PRA) and the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission's (NRC) Standardized Plant Analysis Risk (SPAR) model for FitzPatrick. Additionally, the team referenced the FitzPatrick Risk-Informed Inspection Notebook in the selection of potential components for review. The NRC originally verified FitzPatrick's EQ program implementation through a series of onsite inspections in the 1980's. The EQ program at that time established measures to ensure EQ through the 40-year operating license period. Since that time, Entergy had renewed FitzPatrick's operating licenses for an additional 20 years. The team initially compiled a list of components based on the risk factors previously mentioned. The team then interviewed plant staff, and reviewed procurement, maintenance, and design records. Based on these additional reviews, the team focused the inspection on eight EQ program elements and components. The components that were selected included pump motors, motor-operated valves (MOV), solenoid valves, limit switches and flow/level transmitters located both inside and outside of containment. The team also evaluated the EQ of selected supporting sub-components, including seals and lubricants.
.2 Results of Detailed Reviews
a. Inspection Scope
The inspection was a pilot inspection, conducted as outlined in NRC Inspection Procedure (IP) 71111.21N. The team assessed Entergy's implementation of the EQ program as required by 10 CFR 50.49. The team evaluated whether Entergy staff properly maintained the EQ of electrical equipment important to safety through plant life (repair, replacement, modification, and plant life extension), established and maintained required EQ documentation records, and implemented an effective corrective action program to identify and correct EQ-related deficiencies and evaluate EQ-related industry operating experience.
This inspection effort included review of EQ program-related procedures, component EQ files, EQ test records, equipment maintenance and operating history, maintenance and operating procedures, vendor documents, design documents, and calculations. The team also interviewed plant staff knowledgeable with the design, maintenance, and operation of the selected components. Additionally, the team performed physical in-plant walkdowns (where accessible) to verify the installed equipment 1) was consistent with the EQ component documentation files, 2) was installed in their tested configuration, and 3) could be impacted by the failure of surrounding equipment. The team reviewed procurement records and inspected a sample of replacement parts stored in the warehouse to verify EQ parts approved for installation in the plant were properly identified and controlled; and that storage time and environmental conditions did not adversely affect the components' qualified life or service life. The team also reviewed Entergy's evaluation of applicable operating experience to determine whether industry EQ-related issues were understood and addressed through Entergy's corrective action program. Documents reviewed for this inspection are listed in the Attachment. Component samples selected for this inspection are listed below. Six of the eight components were qualified in accordance with 10 CFR 50.49; and two components, which are original plant equipment, were qualified in accordance with the NRC's Division of Operating Reactors (DOR) Guidelines, as indicated below.

b. Findings
No findings were identified.
OTHER ACTIVITIES
4OA2 Identification and Resolution of Problems (IP 71152)
a. Inspection Scope
The team reviewed a sample of problems that Entergy had previously identified and entered into the corrective action program. The team reviewed a sample of these issues to verify an appropriate threshold for identifying issues and to evaluate the effectiveness of corrective actions. The specific corrective action documents that were sampled and reviewed by the team are listed in the Attachment.
B Findings No findings were identified.
4OA6 Meetings, including Exit
On February 25, 2016, the team presented the inspection results to Mr. Brian Sullivan, Site Vice President, and other members of Entergy staff. The team reviewed proprietary information, which was returned to Entergy at the end of the inspection. The team verified that no proprietary information was documented in the report.
