1112912010 - 1 21212010, 02107 - 1 0, and 17 , 2011 ; Indian Point Energy Center (IPEC); Oversight
of factory testing and inspection
of IPEC Unit 3 shielded transfer cask (STC) at the Holtec Manufacturing
Division (HMD) facility in Turtle Creek, Pennsylvania.
This report covers an announced
on-site inspection
conducted
by an NRC Region I inspector and an inspector
from the NRC Nuclear Materials
Safety and Safeguards
Division, Spent Fuel Storage and Transportation
Branch, of IPEC's oversight
of the factory testing of the Unit 3 STC at HMD. A license amendment
request (M1091940177)
for the STC under 10 CFR Part 50 was submitted
by Entergy Nuclear Operatons, Inc. (the licensee)
to the NRC on July 8, 2009. At the time of this inspection, the NRC was in the process of drafting a second request for additional
information (RAl) to the licensee regarding
the amendment
request for the STC. The review of that request is ongoing. This STC will be used for the wet transfer of spent fuel assemblies
from the IPEC Unit 3 spent fuel pool (SFP) to the IPEC Unit 2 SFP.The inspector
reviewed equipment
performance, program controls, and documentation.
Specific inspection
areas included the testing of STC components, observing
STC component
inspection
on the floor of the manufacturing
facility, a review of the non-conformance
reports to date, a review of the licensee's
quality assurance
program, and interviews
with both the licensee and Holtec personnel
performing
the testing and inspection
of the components.
Within the scope of this inspection, no violations
of NRC requirements
were identified.

REPORT DETAILS 1.0 Review of Fabrication
Documentation
a. Inspection
Scope (1P60852)The inspection
included a limited review of the licensee's
oversight
of the HMD fabrication
of the IPEC STC since the previous inspection
at HMD conducted
in April 2Q10. The inspector
performed
an onsite review of the HMD's Technical
Specification
requirements
for implementing
procedures
controlling
fabrication
to assure that HMD's Technical
Specification
requirements
were incorporated.
b. Observations
and Findinqs IPEC has a written contract with URS Washington
Division (URS), an engineering
and technical
services provider company, to provide oversight
of onsite quality assurance
for the fabrication
of the STC at HMD. The URS contractor
is required to witness hold points during the fabrication
process. The inspector
reviewed several hold points and noted that URS staff signed off on the component
documentation
to confirm that hold points had been inspected
as required.
Weekly verbal communication
occurs between URS and the IPEC Project Manager. The inspector
reviewed the purchase agreement specifications
developed
by the licensee and provided to HMD. The purchase agreement
states that all drawings for fabrication
must be approved by the licensee prior to the start of fabrication.
lt also states that non-conformance
reports (NCRs) considered
as design changes require the licensee's
approval, although the contractor
may proceed at its own risk prior to IPEC's acceptance.
The contractor
must request and obtain written approval of the licensee prior to shipment of the component.
While reviewing
NCRs associated
with the STC, the inspector
noticed that NCR 09121-1, Rev. 3, involved a design change to the STC shellthickness
lrom718" to 3/4". This design change was dispositioned
without the licensee's
approval or review of the analysis performed
by Holtec. Licensee personnel
stated that they were not notified of the significance
of this NCR by Holtec and at the time of the inspection
had not yet performed
the proper analysis of the design change as required by the Entergy Quality Assurance
Manual. The NCR form used by Holtec did not differentiate
between rework and repair. In general, rework is the act of reprocessing
non-complying
components, through the use of original or equivalent
processing, in a manner that assures full compliance
of the component
with applicable
drawings or specifications.
In contrast, repair is generally
the act of restoring
the functional
capability
of a defective
component in a manner that precludes
compliance
of the component
with applicable
drawings or specifications.
Usually rework does not require customer approval, while most repair work does.The IPEC Assistant
Project Manager stated to the inspector
that an Entergy Corrective
Action Request (CAR) LO-CAR-2010-00098
was sent to Holtec on December 2Q,2010 for their follow up. The follow-up
response to the CAR from Holtec had not been received by the licensee prior to the end of this inspection.

c. Conclusions
The inspectors
determined
that the licensee representatives
on site at HMD including
the URS Washington
Division personnel, and IPEC project management
personnel, did not appear to be as familiar as they should have been with how design changes should be handled per the contractural
agreement
between the licensee and HMD and the Entergy Quality Assurance
Manual. As of February 7,2011, the licensee drafted new language for the contract with Holtec, and Holtec modified the NCR form they use to include a designation
for repair. The Entergy Quality Assurance
Program Manual requires that supplier evaluations
be performed
any time prior to placing the component
in service. At the conclusion
of this inspection, the STC was still being fabricated
by Holtec, had not been licensed by the NRC, and had not been shipped to or used by the licensee.
A timely review of the design change was not performed
by the licensee.
However since the STC had not been placed into service, no findings of significance
were identified.
2.0 Factory testing and Fit up of STC Components
a. lnspection
Scope The testing and inspection
of the various STC components
on the HMD factory floor was observed.
The inspector
also reviewed documentation
of factory testing of various components
that had occurred prior to the inspection.
b. Observations
and Findinqs IPEC personnel
prepared a spreadsheet
that included each component
of the STC and what actions where to be performed
for that component.
Actions included visual inspection
for component
integrity, testing of the selected component
with other components, and functionality
of the component.
IPEC personnel
performed
an extensive
review of the various components
and identified
numerous action items for follow up by HMD. In addition load test results of the STC lifting trunnions
and the lid lifting devices were reviewed.
Open items were noted by the IPEC project managers as well as spare parts to be provided with the STC. Additional
visits to Holtec by the licensee will be necessary
to resolve the remaining
open items.c. Conclusions
The licensee demonstrated
adequate oversight
of HMD during the testing and inspection
of STC components.
A detailed spreadsheet
of components, test results, and follow up items was developed.
No findings of significance
were identified.
Exit Meeting Summary Within the scope of this inspection, no violations
of NRC requirements
were identified.
The inspector
presented
the inspection
results in a conference
call with Joe DeFrancesco, Project Manager for IPEC, and other licensee personnel
at the conclusion
of this inspection
on February 17,2011.ATTACHMENT:
