SUBJECT:

ANNUAL ASSESSMENT LETTER FOR NINE MILE POINT NUCLEAR STATION LLC, UNITS 1 AND 2 (REPORT 05000220/2017006 AND 05000410/2017006, REPORT 05000220/2017402 AND 05000410/2017402, AND REPORT 05000220/2017501 AND 05000410/2017501)

Dear Mr. Hanson:

The NRC has completed its end-of-cycle performance assessment of Nine Mile Point Nuclear Station LLC, Units 1 and 2 (Nine Mile Point), reviewing performance indicators (PIs), inspection results, and enforcement actions from January 1, 2017 through December 31, 2017. This letter informs you of the NRCs assessment of your facility during this period and its plans for future inspections at your facility. The NRC concluded that overall performance at your facility preserved public health and safety.

The NRC determined the performance at Nine Mile Point during the most recent quarter was within the Licensee Response Column, the highest performance category of the NRCs Reactor Oversight Process (ROP) Action Matrix, because all inspection findings had very low safety significance (i.e., Green), and all PIs were within the expected range (i.e., Green.) Therefore, the NRC plans to conduct ROP baseline inspections at your facility.

The enclosed inspection plan lists the inspections scheduled through December 31, 2019. This updated inspection plan now includes planned security inspections which were formerly transmitted under separate correspondence. The NRC provides the inspection plan to allow for the resolution of any scheduling conflicts and personnel availability issues. Routine inspections performed by resident inspectors are not included in the inspection plan. The inspections listed during the last twelve months of the inspection plan are tentative and may be revised. The NRC will contact you as soon as possible to discuss changes to the inspection plan should circumstances warrant any changes.

In addition to normal baseline inspections, the NRC will be performing Inspection Procedure (IP) 71003, Post Approval Site Inspection For License Renewal, for Nine Mile Point Unit 1 and IP 60855.1, Operation of an Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation at Operating Plants, at your facility. In accordance with Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) 2.390 of the NRCs Rules of Practice, a copy of this letter will be available electronically for public inspection in the NRC Public Document Room or from the Publicly Available Records (PARS) component of NRC's document system (ADAMS). ADAMS is accessible from the NRC Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html (the Public Electronic Reading Room).

Please contact me at 610-337-5012 with any questions you have regarding this letter.

Sincerely,

/RA/
