SUMMARY
Inspection Report (IR) 05000395/2017502; 10/30/2017 - 11/03/2017; Virgil C. Summer Nuclear
Station; Exercise and Baseline Inspection This report covers an inspection by three emergency preparedness and one resident inspector.
No findings of significance were identified. The NRCs program for overseeing the safe operation of commercial nuclear power reactors is described in NUREG-1649, Reactor Oversight Process, Revision 6.
REPORT DETAILS
REACTOR SAFETY
Cornerstone: Emergency Preparedness
1EP1 Exercise Evaluation
a. Inspection Scope
The onsite inspection consisted of the following review and assessment:
- The adequacy of the licensees performance in the biennial exercise, conducted on October 31, 2017, was reviewed and assessed regarding the implementation of the Risk Significant Planning Standards in 10 CFR 50.47(b)(4), (5), (9), and (10); which address emergency classification, offsite notification, radiological assessment, and protective action recommendations, respectively.
- The overall adequacy of the licensees emergency response facilities with regard to NUREG-0696, Functional Criteria for Emergency Response Facilities, and Emergency Plan commitments. The facilities assessed were the Control Room Simulator, Technical Support Center, Operations Support Center, and the Emergency Operations Facility.
- Other performance areas, such as the emergency response organizations (ERO)recognition of abnormal plant conditions; command and control, intra- and inter-facility communications; prioritization of mitigation activities; utilization of repair and field monitoring teams; interface with offsite agencies; and the overall implementation of the emergency plan and its implementing procedures.
- The post-exercise critique process and the presentation to the licensee's senior management conducted on November 2, 2017, to evaluate the licensees self-assessment of its ERO performance during the exercise, and to ensure compliance with 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix E, Subsection IV.F.2.g.
The inspectors reviewed various documents, which are listed in the Attachment. The inspectors also attended the FEMA-sponsored public meeting on November 2, 2017.
This inspection activity satisfied one inspection sample for the exercise evaluation on a biennial basis. This inspection activity satisfied one inspection sample for the exercise evaluation on a biennial basis as defined in Inspection Procedure (IP) 71114.01, Exercise Evaluation. This inspection activity satisfied three inspection samples for PI verification on an annual basis as defined in IP 71151, Performance Indicator Verification.
b. Findings
No findings were identified.
1EP4 Emergency Action Level and Emergency Plan Changes
a. Inspection Scope
Since the last NRC inspection of this program area, one revision to the emergency plan, one revision to the emergency action levels, and several revisions to emergency plan implementing procedures had been made. The licensee determined that, in accordance with 10 CFR 50.54(q), the emergency plan continued to meet the requirements of 10 CFR 50.47(b), and Appendix E to 10 CFR Part 50. The inspectors reviewed the revisions, and sampled implementing procedure changes to evaluate potential reductions in the effectiveness of the plan. As this review was not documented in a Safety Evaluation Report, and does not constitute formal NRC approval of the changes, these changes remain subject to future NRC inspection in their entirety.
The inspection was conducted in accordance with NRC Inspection Procedure (IP)71114, Attachment 04, Emergency Action Level and Emergency Plan Changes. The applicable planning standards of 10 CFR 50.47(b), and its related requirements in 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix E, were used as reference criteria. The inspectors reviewed various documents, which are listed in the Attachment to this report. This inspection activity satisfied one inspection sample for the emergency action level and emergency plan changes on an annual basis.
b. Findings
No findings were identified.
1EP8 Exercise Evaluation - Scenario Review
a. Inspection Scope
Prior to the inspection activity, the inspectors conducted an in-office review of the exercise objectives and scenario submitted to the NRC using IP 71114.08, Exercise Evaluation - Scenario Review, to determine if the exercise would test major elements of the emergency plan as required by 10 CFR 50.47(b)(14). The inspectors reviewed various documents, which are listed in the Attachment to this report. This inspection activity satisfied one inspection sample for the exercise evaluation on a biennial basis.
b. Findings
No findings were identified.
OTHER ACTIVITIES
4OA1 Performance Indicator Verification
a. Inspection Scope
The inspectors sampled licensee submittals relative to the performance indicators (PIs)listed below for the period July 1, 2016, through September 30, 2017. To verify the accuracy of the PI data reported during that period, PI definitions and guidance contained in Nuclear Energy Institute 99-02, Regulatory Assessment Performance Indicator Guideline, Revision 7, was used to confirm the reporting basis for each data element.
Emergency Preparedness Cornerstone
- Drill/Exercise Performance (DEP)
- Emergency Response Organization (ERO) Readiness
- Alert and Notification System (ANS) Reliability For the specified review period, the inspectors examined data reported to the NRC, procedural guidance for reporting PI information, and records used by the licensee to identify potential PI occurrences. The inspectors verified the accuracy of the PIs for ERO and DEP through review of a sample of drill and event records. The inspectors reviewed selected training records to verify the accuracy of the PI for ERO drill participation for personnel assigned to key positions in the ERO. The inspectors verified the accuracy of the PI for ANS reliability through review of a sample of the licensees records of periodic system tests. The inspectors also interviewed the licensee personnel who were responsible for collecting and evaluating the PI data. Licensee procedures, records, and other documents reviewed within this inspection area, are listed in the
. This inspection satisfied three inspection samples for PI verification on an annual basis. This inspection activity satisfied one inspection sample for the exercise evaluation on a biennial basis as defined in Inspection Procedure (IP) 71114.01, Exercise Evaluation & This inspection activity satisfied three inspection samples for PI verification on an annual basis as defined in IP 71151, Performance Indicator Verification.
b. Findings
No findings were identified.
4OA6 Meetings
On November 3, 2017, the inspection team presented the inspection results to Mr. G. Lippard and other members of the plant staff. The inspectors confirmed that no proprietary information was provided.
