SUMMARY OF FINDINGS
IR 05000443/2014502; 11/03/2014 11/07/2014; Seabrook Station, Unit No. 1; Exercise Evaluation Hostile Action (HA) Event; Exercise Evaluation Scenario Review; Performance Indicator Verification. This report covers an announced inspection conducted by five Region I-based inspectors and one emergency preparedness specialist from the Office of Nuclear Security and Incident Response. No findings were identified during the inspection. The overseeing the safe operation of commercial nuclear power reactors is described in NUREG-5, dated February 2014.
Cornerstone: Emergency Preparedness
No findings were identified.

Emergency Preparedness 1EP7 Exercise Evaluation Hostile Action Event (71114.07 1 Sample)
a. Inspection Scope
Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), Part 50, Appendix E,Section IV.F.2.j, requires in part that nuclear power reactor licensees, in each eight calendar year exercise cycle, provide the opportunity for their emergency response organization (ERO) to demonstrate proficiency in the key skills necessary to respond to a hostile action (HA) directed at the plant site. NextEra designed the November 5, 2014, Seabrook EP exercise to satisfy that requirement, and the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) inspected the Seabrook HA event exercise to assess NextEra ability to effectively implement the Seabrook Emergency Plan during a HA event. This overall exercise inspection activity represented the completion of one sample on a biennial cycle. The exercise evaluation consisted of the following reviews and assessments: The adequacy of NextEra Seabrook ERO performance in the biennial full-participation exercise regarding the implementation of the risk significant planning standards described in 10 CFR 50.47(b) (4), (5), (9), and (10), which are: Emergency classification; offsite notification; radiological assessment and on-site protective actions and public protective action recommendations, respectively.
The overall adequacy of NextEra emergency response facilities with regard to Emergency Plan commitments. The facilities assessed were: the Control Room Simulator; the Alternative Facility (AF); the Central Alarm Station (CAS); the Incident Command Post (ICP); and, the Emergency Operations Facility (EOF).
A review of other performance areas, such as NextEra Seabrook ERO: recognition of abnormal plant conditions; command and control, including interactions with site security staff; intra- and inter-facility communications; prioritization of mitigating activities; utilization of repair and field monitoring teams; interface with offsite agencies, including local law enforcement agencies; staffing and procedure adequacy; and the overall implementation of the Seabrook Emergency Plan and their implementing procedures.
A review of past performance issues from the last NRC Seabrook exercise inspection report and recent Seabrook EP drill reports, to determine the effectiveness of licensee corrective actions as demonstrated during the November 5, 2014, exercise and to ensure compliance with 10 CFR 50.47(b)(14).
-exercise critiques, to evaluate NextEra self-assessment of its Seabrook ERO performance during the November 5, 2014, exercise and to ensure compliance with 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix E, Section IV.F.2.g. The inspectors reviewed the documents listed in the attachment to this report.
b. Findings
No findings were identified. 1EP8 Exercise Evaluation Scenario Review (71114.08 1 Sample)
a. Inspection Scope
Prior to the November 5, 2014, EP exercise, the NRC inspectors conducted an in-office review of the exercise objectives and scenario, which NextEra had submitted to the NRC, to determine if the exercise would test major elements of the Seabrook 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. The inspectors reviewed the documents listed in the attachment to this report.
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 Seabrook 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 PI inspection at Seabrook was conducted in the third calendar quarter of 2013, so the inspectors reviewed supporting documentation from EP drills and tests from the third calendar quarter of 2013 through the third calendar quarter of 2014, 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 Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI) 99-ndicator . This inspection activity represented the completion of three samples.
b. Findings
No findings were identified.
4OA6 Meetings, including Exit
The inspectors presented the inspection results to Mr. Dean Curtland, Site Vice President at the conclusion of the inspection on November 7, 2014. The inspectors verified that no proprietary information was retained by the inspectors or documented in this report.
