Subject:
Entergy Response to Confirmatory Order EA-17-132/EA-17-153 Arkansas Nuclear One, Units 1 & 2 Indian Point Energy Center, Units 2 & 3 NRC Docket Nos. 50-313 & 50-368 NRC Docket Nos. 50-247 & 50-286 Renewed Facility Operating Renewed Facility Operating License Nos. DPR-51 & NPF-6 License Nos. DPR-26 & DPR-64 Grand Gulf Nuclear Station, Unit 1 Palisades Nuclear Plant NRC Docket No. 50-416 NRC Docket No. 50-255 Renewed Facility Operating Renewed Facility Operating License No. NPF-29 License No. DPR-20 River Bend Station, Unit 1 Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station NRC Docket No. 50-458 NRC Docket No. 50-293 Renewed Facility Operating Renewed Facility Operating License No. NPF-47 License No. DPR-35 Waterford 3 Steam Electric Station NRC Docket No. 50-382 Renewed Facility Operating License No. NPF-38 A Confirmatory Order was issued to Entergy (Entergy Nuclear Operations, Inc. and Entergy Operations, Inc.) as a result of a successful alternate dispute resolution mediation session (Reference 1). The Confirmatory Order modified the above operating licenses to include specific elements to address willful violations.
During the week of January 7, 2019, NRC Region IV conducted a status inspection of the commitments documented in the referenced Confirmatory Order that were made as part of the settlement agreement between Entergy and the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC).
During the inspection, the NRC noted weaknesses in the auditability of records associated with
CN R0-20 19-00013 Page 2 of 3 Elements A and 8 of the Confirmatory Order related to integrity communications with site workers. Although the electronic communications from Entergy site and corporate nuclear headquarters contained the intended messaging, clear objective evidence was not available for inspection that validated that the messaging was received and effective.
As a result of this feedback, Entergy developed a plan to strengthen documentation of the two remaining required semiannual integrity communications. The plan includes the utilization of the Entergy Tier 2 Communication process to ensure that the communications are delivered in a timely manner. Tier 2 communications are cascaded down to employees through various meetings and forums. Entergy will record the receipt and acknowledgement of these communications for future traceability.
In addition, Element D of the Confirmatory Order requires Entergy to identify specific criteria necessary to perform annual effectiveness reviews. As part of these effectiveness reviews, Entergy will conduct surveys to ensure the integrity messages have been received and understood. Entergy will modify its corrective actions, as needed, based on the results of the effectiveness reviews.
Entergy performed causal analyses related to gaps in meeting integrity standards, which included extent of condition reviews for work groups that perform NRC regulated activities, to determine if individuals from those work groups engaged in willful misconduct. This review did not identify additional instances of workers engaging in willful misconduct. In addition, plans were developed to conduct quarterly audits of activities performed by these work groups.
Entergy understands the importance of addressing acts of willful misconduct and has and will continue to take additional actions beyond those required by the Order.
This proposed change contains new regulatory commitments, which are described in the Enclosure to this letter.
Should you have any questions or require additional information, please contact Ron Gaston, Fleet Regulatory Compliance Director at 601-368-5138.
