1EP1 Exercise Evaluation
a. Inspection Scope
On October 24, 2017, Exelon conducted a biennial emergency preparedness (EP)exercise at the Nine Mile Point Nuclear Station. The NRC inspectors evaluated the adequacy of Exelons conduct of the exercise and its capability to assess staff performance via a formal critique process, as required by Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) 50.47(b)(14). This overall exercise inspection activity represented the completion of one sample on a biennial cycle.
To evaluate the exercise, the inspectors reviewed:
The adequacy of Exelons performance in the biennial full-participation exercise regarding the implementation of the planning standards described in 10 CFR 50.47(b)(4), (5), (9), and (10), which include: emergency classification, offsite notification, radiological assessment, and onsite and public protective action recommendations, respectively.
The overall adequacy of Exelons emergency response facilities with regard to Nine Mile Point emergency plan commitments. The inspectors assessed the following facilities: the simulator control room, the technical support center, the operations support center, and the emergency operations facility.
Exelons performance in other areas, such as: the emergency response organizations (ERO) recognition of abnormal plant conditions, command and control, communications both within and between facilities, prioritization of mitigation activities, utilization of repair and field monitoring teams, interface with offsite agencies, staffing and procedure adequacy, and the overall implementation of the Nine Mile Point emergency plan and its implementing procedures.
A review of past performance issues from the last biennial exercise inspection report and Exelons EP drill reports, to determine the effectiveness of corrective actions as demonstrated during the October 24, 2017, exercise and to ensure compliance with 10 CFR 50.47(b)(14), which requires licensees to conduct periodic drills and exercises and to correct any deficiencies identified.
The post-exercise critiques, to evaluate Exelons self-assessment of its ERO performance during the October 24, 2017, exercise and to ensure compliance with 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix E, Section IV.F.2.g.

b. Findings
No findings were identified.
1EP8 Exercise Evaluation - Scenario Review
a. Inspection Scope
Prior to the October 24, 2017, EP exercise, the NRC inspectors conducted an in-office review of the exercise objectives and scenario, which Exelon had submitted to the NRC, to determine if the exercise would test major elements of the Nine Mile Point emergency plan as required by 10 CFR 50.47(b)(14). This overall exercise inspection activity represented the completion of one sample on a biennial cycle.
b. Findings
No findings were identified.
OTHER ACTIVITIES (OA)
4OA1 Performance Indicator Verification (71151 - 3 Samples)
a. Inspection Scope
The inspectors reviewed data for the Nine Mile Point EP Performance Indicators (PI),which are:
- (1) Drill and Exercise Performance (DEP) (EP01);
- (2) ERO Drill Participation (EP02); and
- (3) Alert and Notification System (ANS) Reliability (EP03). The last NRC EP inspection at Nine Mile Point was conducted in the July 2016, so the inspectors reviewed supporting documentation from EP drills and tests from the second calendar quarter of 2016 through the second calendar quarter of 2017, to verify the accuracy of the reported PI data. The review of these PIs was conducted in accordance with NRC Inspection Procedure 71151, using the acceptance criteria documented in NEI 99-02, Regulatory Assessment Performance Indicator Guidelines, Revision 7.
This inspection activity represented the completion of three samples.
b. Findings
No findings were identified.
4OA6 Meetings, including Exit
On October 26, 2017, the inspectors presented the results of this inspection to Mr. Peter Orphanos, Site Vice President and other members of Exelons staff. The inspectors verified that no proprietary information was retained by the inspectors or documented in this report.
