Engineering Fundamentals and Technical Authority
Engineering Fundamentals ü Engineering personnel apply essential knowledge, skills, behaviors, and practices needed to ensure: • Equipment performs as required • The plant is maintained within design requirements • Margins are controlled • The plant is operated safely and reliably 6
Engineering Fundamentals • Five principle level categories of engineering fundamentals ØMonitor and Evaluate ØOperate, Maintain, and Modify in a Controlled Manner ØCommunicate, Advise and Advocate ØAcquire and Maintain Expert Knowledge ØCritical Thinking, Decision-Making, and Challenging 7
Must Know OE - MKOE • Part of Performance Objectives & Criteria • A collection of the most important OE documents issued since 1980. Engineering MKOE is found in INPO 12 -005. • As discussed in Recommendation 2 of SOER 102, Engaged, Thinking Organizations Ø MKOE should be included in initial and continuing training for supervisors 8
Vendor Product Quality
Vendor Product Quality ü Working Meeting in April 2012 Ø Selected A/E firms and Various Utilities Ø Collected best practices for the different blocks in the flowchart ü Issued Evaluation Guideline for Vendor Oversight / Engagement Ø Project Initiation & Project Performance Terry Schuster Ralph Schwartzbeck
Vendor Product Quality • INPO 90 -009, Conduct of Design Engineering Revised for Cyber, Digital, and Vendor Quality Good Practices (Nov. 2012) Examples of Appendix C (new): • Identify, document, and communicate expectations between engineering vendors and the requesting organization • Perform a feasibility study to identify the best solution 11
Vendor Product Quality • Perform licensing review prior to starting design work • Develop a road map of applicable standards, procedures, and best practices. Communicate this to the engineering service providers • Determine hardware lead time impacts on project schedules • Document and communicate expectations for project and deliverable quality 12
Digital Projects / Cyber Security
Digital Projects ü Digital Project Guidance ü Modification Testing ü FMEA Analysis ü Integration of Digital Equipment Bill Nowicki Ralph Schwartzbeck Gary Garrett Doug Kinsman
Digital Projects ü Recent Industry Workshop – May 2013 ü IER L 2 -11 -2 Scram Analysis and IERL 4 -12 -87 Causes of Digital Upgrade-Related Events ü Community of Practice Webpage ü Pilot Review Visits 15
Digital Projects ü Communication / Technical Leadership (from IER 12 -87) • • Vendor Interface and Oversight Technical risk assignment and monitoring Project personnel knowledge and experience Supervisor assignment and monitoring of project engineering activities 16
Digital Projects ü Community of Practice Ø Used to Share Issues Unique to Digital Modifications Ø Design Project Issues May Occur Prior to Installation ü Pilot Review Visits Ø Two sites approved in 2013 17
Cyber Security ü Created Cyber Security Training NANTe. L Ø Awareness (general) Ø CSAT (assessment team) Ø Technical (OPS, MA, Design Engr. , Engr. Support) ü Added Digital/Cyber event codes in EPIX ü 2013 Plant Evaluations will include cyber security Ø Waterford and Beaver Valley Plant Evaluations 18
Cyber Security ü Scope of Cyber Security Program Ø Safety-related, Important to Safety Ø Security Ø Emergency Preparedness Ø Support systems (BOP) and equipment, which if compromised, would adversely impact configuration control and plant operations 19
Seismic / External Events
Seismic Update ü How-To has been developed and is being used. ü No real issues with sites compliance; use with IER L 2 -12 -12 response ü IER L 4 -13 -3 issues for NAPS Lessons Learned ü EPRI NP-6695 has been supplemented with TR 1025288
External Events • PO & C include - External Events (CM. 1) Ø 11 Evaluation Activities Ø Beyond Design Basis Event Ø Cliff edge effects • IER on Fukushima Lessons Learned: – Out for Review • IAEA promotes doing Periodic Safety Reviews every 10 years 22
External Events • Post-Fukushima NRC Near Term Task Force Recommendations (2. 1, 2. 2, and 2. 3) • Items 2. 1 and 2. 3 are being performed now; NRC Request for Information, issued March 12, 2012 ü Summary of Industry Results (NRC Follow-ups) Ø Capability to Mitigate Fires in Large Areas of Plant Ø Licensee Capability to Mitigate Design Basis Internal and External Events 23
