Dungeness B - Inspection ID: 53370

Executive summary

Date(s) of inspection: June 2024

Aim of inspection

This inspection involved sampling outage related work that is underway and recently completed, focusing on civils and mechanical related maintenance to ensure that the dutyholder has completed maintenance appropriately, with appropriate control and supervision and made adequate records.

Subject(s) of inspection

  • LC28 - Examination, inspection, maintenance and testing - Rating: Green

Key findings, inspector's opinions and reasons for judgement made

During the inspection I sampled evidence of examination, inspection, maintenance and testing of the following systems:

  • Gas Calculator areas GC 26 & 28;
  • Pre-stressed Concrete Pressure Vessel;
  • ECW pump room;
  • Boiler 28; and
  • Lifting equipment store.

I also conducted a site walkdown where I identified several minor housekeeping issues. The site inspector will follow these up during routine site engagements.

Based on my sampling undertaken during this intervention, I consider that the licensee has adequately demonstrated it has appropriate control of its examination, inspection, maintenance and testing (EMIT) arrangements and their implementation.

Conclusion

Based on my sampling undertaken during this intervention, I consider that the licensee has adequately demonstrated it has appropriate control of its examination, inspection, maintenance and testing (EMIT) arrangements and their implementation. I have not identified any major regulatory issues that would prevent the completion of the current R22 outage programme.
