SUBJECT:

H. B. ROBINSON STEAM ELECTRIC PLANT - NRC EVALUATION OF CHANGES, TESTS, AND EXPERIMENTS AND PERMANENT PLANT MODIFICATIONS INSPECTION REPORT 05000261/2015007

Dear Mr. Glover:

On November 19, 2015, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed an inspection at your H. B. Robinson Steam Electric Plant, Unit 2. On November 19, 2015, the NRC inspectors discussed the results of this inspection with you and other members of your staff. Inspectors documented the results of this inspection in the enclosed inspection report.

The NRC inspectors did not identify any findings or violations of more than minor significance.

In accordance with Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations 2.390 of the NRCs Rules of Practice, a copy of this letter, its enclosure, and your response (if any) will be available electronically for public inspection in the NRC Public Document Room or from the Publically Available Records component of NRCs document system (ADAMS). ADAMS is accessible from the NRC Website at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html (the Public Electronic Reading Room).

Sincerely,

1R17 Evaluations of Changes, Tests Experiments, and Permanent Plant Modifications

a. Inspection Scope

Evaluations of Changes, Tests Experiments: The team reviewed eight safety evaluations performed pursuant to Title 10, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 50.59, Changes, tests, and experiments, to determine if the evaluations were adequate and that prior NRC approval was obtained as appropriate. The team also reviewed 15 screenings where licensee personnel had determined that a 10 CFR 50.59 evaluation was not necessary. The team reviewed these documents to determine if:

  • the changes, tests, or experiments performed were evaluated in accordance with 10 CFR 50.59 and that sufficient documentation existed to confirm that a license amendment was not required;
  • the safety issues requiring the changes, tests or experiments were resolved;
  • the licensee conclusions for evaluations of changes, tests, or experiments were correct and consistent with 10 CFR 50.59; and
  • the design and licensing basis documentation used to support the change was updated to reflect the change.

The team used, in part, Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI) 96-07, Guidelines for 10 CFR 50.59 Implementation, Revision 1, to determine acceptability of the completed evaluations and screenings. The NEI document was endorsed by the NRC in Regulatory Guide 1.187, Guidance for Implementation of 10 CFR 50.59, Changes, Tests, and Experiments, dated November 2000.

Permanent Plant Modifications: The team reviewed 10 permanent plant modifications that had been installed in the plant during the last three years. The modifications reviewed are listed below:
