  1. 13.Design of inspection processes associated with construction, installation and commissioning of SSCsPeter Uhrik Design, conduct, reporting and follow-up of inspection programme related to reactor structures, systems and components important to safety March 2014

  2. The Session Objectives • To explain the role of regulator during construction and commissioning phase. • To explain the reasons for inspection and their objectives. • To provide information about inspection plan preparation. • To give an examples of Slovak practice.

  3. Content • Licence for construction / commissioning • Review process • Objective of inspections during construction/ commissioning • Inspection plan preparation

  4. Phases of NPP lifetime • siting • design approval • construction, installation • commissioning • operation • transition period from operation to decommissioning • decommissioning

  5. Regulatory Body activities • sitingbinding statement /licence • design approval (licence) • construction, installationlicence • commissioninglicence • operationlicence • transition period from operation to decommissioning • decommissioninglicence

  6. Licence • Licence documentation is reviewed or/and approved to verify compliance with legally binding requirements set in Atomic act and related regulations. • Based on the results of verification a licenceis issued by the regulatory body. • The Authority may make any licence subject to the fulfilment of conditions relating to nuclear safety.

  7. Licence for construction / commissioning • Example of licence documentations delivered to regulatory body: • preliminary SAR • requirements on the quality of nuclear installations categorisation of classified equipment into safety classes • requirements on the quality of classified equipment • programmes for SSCs tests • program for commissioning /hold points/ • …

  8. Regulatory inspections and assessment Review • Document review (licensing documentation) • Detail design documentation CEQP (Certified equipment Quality plans) Technical documentation • Modifications permission, licence • Inspections • Inspection Programme (design, manufacturing, construction, installation, commissioning, operation, decomissioning) • Reactive inspections protocols/ minutes • Oversight- (construction, operation, incidents, ...) • Visits at the site • Visits at the manufacturers and observe at the • Observers in licensee’s audits and the manufacturers FAT quarterly protocols/ minutes

  9. Review of licence documentation • Approval of basic design • Approval of major changes and modifications • Approval of Quality management system documentation –Quality plans for Certified equipment CEQP • Approval of Technical documentation for whole life time (design, manufacturing, construction, installation, commissioning, operation, maintenance) • List of Classified equipment SC I-IV • Ageing management and Seismic qualification • Plans for periodic inspections, their results

  10. Why inspections? The inspection plan is a regulatory body tool for continuous and systemic planning of inspection activities at nuclear installations, as well as during transportation and controls of nuclear materials

  11. Objective of inspections • Main objective is to verify: • compliance of construction/installation with licence documentation • compliance of SSCs with approved requirements during Factory Acceptance Tests /FAT/ and during Site AT /SAT/ • whether the licence conditions are fulfilled • whether the acceptance criteria of the tests are met • whether modifications are well prepared and approved in advance

  12. Inspection plan preparation • Inspection Plan is based on: • evaluation of the inspection activities in the past year • section heads proposals • proposal of UJD departments • the evaluation of the events of nuclear installations • expected forthcoming licensee activities • input from long term inspection plan • Usually director of Nuclear Safety Department is responsible for the preparation of overall annual inspection plan.

  13. Inspection plan preparation • Inspections during construction / commissioning phase • planned inspections - annual inspection plan is based on construction / commissioning schedule • unplanned inspections - induced by • modifications • events • site inspectors observations • participation on SAT and FAT • participation on individual functional tests of components and systems

  14. Inspection plan preparation • Content of inspection plan – an example of Slovak practice: • serial number of inspection • name of licensee, nuclear installation • area of inspection /NPP, type of NI/ • short description of an inspection • category /OP, TQ, QA, MA…/ • department responsible to perform inspection • cooperative department • planned quarter • name of inspector responsible to conduct an inspection

  15. Inspection plan preparation • The annual inspection plan is approved by the chairman and issued as a chairman order and published on the official web page. • /example of Slovak practice/
