| =PLANT STATUS=
| |
| | |
| Unit 1 began the inspection period at 100 percent rated thermal power (RTP). On October 30, 2020, the unit was down powered to 50 percent RTP due to removing the 1A Circulating Water Pump (CWP) from service due to motor bearing issue. On October 30, 2020, the unit increased in power to 63 percent RTP until repairs were completed to the 1A CWP. On November 6, 2020, the unit was returned to 100 percent RTP. On December 19, 2020, the unit was down powered to 90 percent RTP for turbine bypass valve testing. On December 19, 2020, the unit was returned to 100 percent RTP and operated there for the remainder of the inspection period.
| |
| | |
| Unit 2 began the inspection period at 100 percent RTP. On October 17, 2020, the unit was down powered to 70 percent RTP for sequence exchange and quarterly turbine testing. On October 18, 2020, the unit was returned to 98 percent RTP due to issues with computer hard drive associated with feedwater uncertainty recapture. On October 24, 2020, the unit was returned to 100 percent RTP after issues with the computer hard drive were resolved. On November 2, 2020, the unit was down powered to 88.5 percent RTP for a rod pattern adjustment and on November 2, 2020, it was return to 100 percent RTP. On November 12, 2020, the unit was down powered to 82.5 percent RTP for a rod pattern adjustment and on November 12, 2020, it was return to 100 percent RTP.

| ==INSPECTION SCOPES==
| |
| Inspections were conducted using the appropriate portions of the inspection procedures (IPs) in effect at the beginning of the inspection unless otherwise noted. Currently approved IPs with their attached revision histories are located on the public website at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/doc-collections/insp-manual/inspection-procedure/index.html. Samples were declared complete when the IP requirements most appropriate to the inspection activity were met consistent with Inspection Manual Chapter (IMC) 2515, Light-Water Reactor Inspection Program - Operations Phase. The inspectors reviewed selected procedures and records, observed activities, and interviewed personnel to assess licensee performance and compliance with Commission rules and regulations, license conditions, site procedures, and standards.
| |
| | |
| Starting on March 20, 2020, in response to the National Emergency declared by the President of the United States on the public health risks of the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19), resident inspectors were directed to begin telework and to remotely access licensee information using available technology. During this time, the resident inspectors performed periodic site visits each week; conducted plant status activities as described in IMC 2515, Appendix D, Plant Status; observed risk-significant activities; and completed on-site portions of IPs. In addition, resident and regional baseline inspections were evaluated to determine if all or portions of the objectives and requirements stated in the IP could be performed remotely. If the inspections could be performed remotely, they were conducted per the applicable IP. In some cases, portions of an IP were completed remotely and on-site. The inspections documented below met the objectives and requirements for completion of the IP.

| |
| : (1) The inspector completed inspection of the Unit 1 Plant Reference Simulator (PRS)
| |
| "B" in accordance with Inspection Procedure (IP) 41502 "Nuclear Power Plant Simulation Facilities.
| |
| | |
| This inspection reviewed a sample of activities to ensure that Simulator B was being tested in accordance with ANSI/ANS-3.5-2009, Nuclear Power Plant Simulators for Use in Operator Training and Examination and appropriate approved plant procedures.
| |
| | |
| The inspectors reviewed testing to verify that the simulator utilizes models relating to nuclear and thermal-hydraulic characteristics replicating the most recent core load from cold shutdown to rated power plant conditions. Additionally, six transient tests, two steady state tests, five malfunction tests, and one core performance test. Additionally, inspectors reviewed a sample of simulator discrepancies to ensure that they were dispositioned in accordance with appropriate approved plant procedures.
| |
| | |
| Finally, this inspection reviewed simulator physical fidelity with its reference unit to ensure that PRS "B" was sufficiently designed to allow the performance of evolution's prescribed by 10 CFR 55.45 and 55.59.
| |
| | |
| The inspector reviewed simulator operation during performance of two Initial License Training (ILT) simulator scenarios using IP 41502 criteria for evaluation of plant-reference simulators under 10 CFR 55.46(c) and (d).
| |
| | |
| No findings were identified. Results of this inspection were discussed with members of the facility staff on October 28, 2020.

| |
| {{IP sample|IP=IP 92702|count=1}}
| |
| : (1) On November 20, 2019, as a result of Alternative Dispute Resolution the NRC issued Confirmatory Order (CO) EA-18-130 and EA-18-171 (ML19249B552). The CO was the result of an apparent violation of 10 CFR 53.5, Employee Protection at Vogtle Units 3 & 4 which contained actions for the Farley, Hatch and Vogtle Units 1 & 2 nuclear plants. During the week of November 30,2020, the inspectors reviewed corrective actions for this CO. Because the CO was fleet wide for the Southern Nuclear Company, the corrective actions reviewed by the inspectors included a review of corrective actions for the Hatch, Farley, and Vogtle Units 1 through 4 nuclear plants. The details can be found in inspection report 0500025/20200012, 0500026/2020012; 11/30/2020 through 12/11/2020; Vogtle Unit 3 Combined License, Vogtle Unit 4 Combined License, CO Follow-Up and SCWE inspection report.
