b. Findings
Introduction. The inspectors identified a Severity Level IV, non-cited violation with three examples for the licensee’s failure to update the UFSAR in accordance with 10 CFR
50.71(e). Specifically, the licensee failed to update the Grand Gulf Nuclear Station UFSAR, Section 15.2.2.2.2.1, “Generator Load Rejection with Bypass,” to appropriately reflect the anticipated plant response to a full load reject after the completion of the extended power uprate (EPU). Additionally, the inspectors determined that the licensee did not adequately describe the EPU changes in the UFSAR Chapters 11 (Radioactive Waste Management) and 12 (Radiation Protection) and submit an update to the NRC.
Description. Entergy Procedure EN-LI-113-01, “Updated Final Safety Analysis Change Process,” Revision 1, describes that the Entergy fleet process for maintaining the UFSAR is consistent with NEI 98-03, “Guidelines for Updating Final Safety Analysis Reports.” Paragraph 5.3.1 [2] of EN-LI-113-01 requires that “the UFSAR shall be updated to include all Safety Analyses and evaluations performed by or on behalf of Entergy to support approved license amendments, or to support conclusions that changes did not require a license amendment per 10 CFR 50.59…” This expectation is consistent with NEI 98-03 Revision 1, which was endorsed by the NRC in Regulatory Guide 1.181, “Content of the Updated Final Safety Analysis Report in Accordance with Title 10 CFR 50.71(e).” Additionally, NEI 98-03 requires that the UFSAR be updated annually or within six months after each refueling outage, which was not completed in the three examples described above.
Whistleblowing can be used as a potent creative tool to help your bureaucracy evolve towards a more enlightened organization.
