a. Evaluation of Changes, Tests, or Experiments From June 25, 2012 through July12, 2012, the inspectors reviewed 7 safety-evaluations performed pursuant to 10 CFR 50.59 to determine if the evaluations were adequate and that prior NRC approval was obtained as appropriate. The inspectors also reviewed 22 screenings where licensee personnel had determined that a 10 CFR 50.59 evaluation was not necessary. The inspectors reviewed these documents to determine if: Inspection Scope 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 issue requiring the change, tests or experiment was 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 was updated to reflect the change. The inspectors 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. The inspectors also consulted Part 9900 of the NRC Inspection Manual, "10 CFR Guidance for 10 CFR 50.59, Changes, Tests, and Experiments." This inspection constituted 7 samples of evaluations and 22 samples of changes as defined in IP 71111.17-04. b. No findings of significance were identified. Findings

.1

a.

Evaluation of Changes, Tests, or Experiments From June 25, 2012 through July12, 2012, the inspectors reviewed 7 safety-evaluations performed pursuant to 10 CFR 50.59 to determine if the evaluations were adequate and that prior NRC approval was obtained as appropriate. The inspectors also reviewed 22 screenings where licensee personnel had determined that a 10 CFR 50.59 evaluation was not necessary. The inspectors reviewed these documents to determine if:

Inspection Scope

  • 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 issue requiring the change, tests or experiment was 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 was updated to reflect the change.

The inspectors 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. The inspectors also consulted Part 9900 of the NRC Inspection Manual, 10 CFR Guidance for 10 CFR 50.59, Changes, Tests, and Experiments.

This inspection constituted 7 samples of evaluations and 22 samples of changes as defined in IP 71111.17-04.

b.

No findings of significance were identified.

Findings

.2 a.

Permanent Plant Modifications From June 25, 2012 through July 12, 2012, the inspectors reviewed 12 permanent plant modifications that had been installed in the plant during the last three years. This review Inspection Scope included in-plant walkdown for a portion of the installed Division 1, 2 and 3 emergency diesel exhaust system and the newly installed Nuclear Steam Supply Protection System inverters 1C71-S001A & 1C71-3001B. The modifications were selected based upon risk significance, safety significance, and complexity. The inspectors reviewed the modifications selected to determine if:

  • the supporting design and licensing basis documentation was updated;
  • the changes were in accordance with the specified design requirements;
  • the procedures and training plans affected by the modification have been adequately updated;
  • the test documentation as required by the applicable test programs has been updated; and
  • post-modification testing adequately verified system operability and/or functionality.

The inspectors also used applicable industry standards to evaluate acceptability of the modifications. The list of modifications and other documents reviewed by the inspectors is included as an Attachment to this report.

This inspection constituted twelve permanent plant modification samples as defined in IP 71111.17-04.

b.

No findings of significance were identified.

.1 Identification and Resolution of Problems

a.

Routine Review of Condition Reports From June 25, 2012 through July 12 2012, the inspectors reviewed 21 corrective action process documents that identified or were related to 10 CFR 50.59 evaluations and permanent plant modifications. The inspectors reviewed these documents to evaluate the effectiveness of corrective actions related to permanent pant modifications and evaluations for changes, tests, or experiments issues. In addition, corrective action documents written on issues identified during the inspection were reviewed to verify adequate problem identification and incorporation of the problems into the corrective action system. The specific corrective action documents that were sampled and reviewed by the inspectors are listed in the attachment to this report.

Inspection Scope b.

No findings of significance were identified.

Findings 4OA6

.1 Meetings
