2 Insights from the Fukushima Event 2014 NRC Vendor Inspections Recent Inspection Results Update on Current initiatives A plug for Safety Culture 2

4 Findings 2 4 Criteria III Criteria V 2 Criteria XI Criteria XV Criteria XVI Part 21 4

5 Most Common issues: Design Control Instruction, Procedures, Drawings Nonconformances Corrective Actions Part 21 Important Insights Recent observations from NRC inspections identified potential the lack of challenges to the assumptions and/or analyses for: 1. Justifying suitability of equipment, 2. Evaluations for part 21 applicability. 3. The translation of high level design commitments into detailed design documentation. Two recent cases of NRC challenging vendor s equipment qualification (EQ) evaluations or testing activities due to lack of rigor or lack of adequate justification for conclusions. Third case where a vendor failed to adequately identify and document design requirements While the NUPIC Audit process and other industry assessments (such as vendor subsupplier oversight activities) did not identify such issues 5

6 Summary: NRC continues to perform technically-focused inspections of vendors that evaluate the detailed design, procurement, fabrication, and testing of SR SSCs. Staff continues to identify issues associated with evaluations and analyses to support acceptance of or the suitability of items Findings reflect assessment beyond basic confirmation that the vendor has a QA program consistent with regulatory requirements which challenges the implementation of that program Findings also emphasize the value of performing inspections directly at the facilities, witnessing work in progress, and sampling the supplier s assessments and analyses. 6

7 NRC Observation of NUPIC Audits and Findings No Direct Audit Observations to date in FY 2014 Two are tentatively scheduled for: Nuclear Power Services CEG the week of 8/25 IHI Southwest Technologies CEG the week of 9/15 Tyco Electronics - a limited scope audit Southern Company TBD 7

8 10 CFR Part 21 Rulemaking Activities Update* Milestones SECY , Staff Plans to Develop Regulatory Basis for Clarifying the Requirements in 10 CFR Part 21. Initial Draft Regulatory Basis Published for Comment Target Date September 29, 2011 December 2012 Final NMSS Site Visit at Fuels Facilities September 27, 2013 NMSS Public Meeting to Include Potential Solutions to Policy Issues Begin Concurrence of Revision 1 to the Draft Regulatory Basis Release Revision 1 to the Draft Regulatory Basis (includes clarification of key terms and introduces a separate section for CGD) March 6, 2014 March 31, 2014 June 6, 2014 Update Provided by Staff at NRC Workshop June 12, 2014 Public Meetings to Discuss Regulatory Basis Summer 2014 Finalize Regulatory Basis September 2014 Proposed Rule with draft guides September 2015 Final Rule December 2016 * reactors/oversight/quality-assurance/part- 21-rulemaking.html 8

9 More on the Procurement Initiative NRC Vendor Inspections identify commercial grade dedication (CGD) issues at many of the vendors inspected 1. In FY 2012, 27 vendor inspections were conducted with 60 findings. 40% off those dealt with CGD issues 2. In FY inspections with Design Control issues with approximately 43 findings. 30% off those dealt with CGD issues Inspections: The inspection will be conducted following Inspection Procedure IP Inspection of Commercial Grade Dedication Programs, which was revised to integrate IP The inspection are conducted by three to four inspectors for one week onsite. Site Selection: Completed initial inspection at Oconee (Documented in Residents quarterly report). Next inspection River Bend Station June 2014 Current Results: Oconee identified weaknesses in their CGD packages, noting approximately 75% did not have the documentation to show they meet the requirements of 10 CFR Part 21 and 10 CFR Part 50 Appendix B. However, utility was able to provide documented evidence showing reasonable assurance in each of their noted weaknesses. NRC identified similar issues. 9

10 Revision of NUREG-0800 Standard Review Plan Section 17.5 NRC staff guidance for the review of applications for Design Certification, Early Site Permits, and Combined Operating Licenses Current Revision dates to March 2007 and is based on: 1. ASME Standard NQA Edition 2. Regulatory Guide (RG) 1.8 Qualification and Training of Personnel for Nuclear Power Plants, Revision 3, 3. RG 1.28, Quality Assurance Program Requirements (Design and Construction), Revision 3, 4. RG 1.33, Quality Assurance Program Requirements (Operation), Revision 2, 5. and NRC Review Standard (RS)-002, Processing Applications for Early Site Permits. Major enhancements in the revised version 1. Reference RG 1.28 Revision 4, dated June 2010, which endorses the use of NQA Edition and the a addenda, and 2. Reference RG 1.33 Revision 3, dated June 2013, which endorses ANSI/ANS Edition. The staff expects to issue SRP 17.5 for public comment by the end of May

12 EPRI 5652: (NP TR ) CGI Dedication March 2014 NRC participated in 8 th CGID guidance revision technical advisory committee (TAG) meeting Charlotte, NC Purpose to finalize work on revision to EPRI guideline The TAG performed a final walk through related to the dedication of various types of commercially procured services. The TAG also continued discussion on the meaning of designed and manufactured as a basic component as it relates to determining if an item should be subject to the commercial grade dedication process or controlled under the auspices of a QA program that complies with 10CFR50, Appendix B. The discussion led to a review of how to correctly interpret related definitions in 10CFR50, Appendix B and 10CFR, Part 21. Most recent meeting held May 27-30,
