SUBJECT:
MID-CYCLE PERFORMANCE REVIEW AND INSPECTION PLAN - R. E. GINNA NUCLEAR POWER PLANT (REPORT 05000244/2008001)
Dear Mr. Carlin:
On August 6, 2008, the NRC staff completed its performance review of R. E. Ginna Nuclear Power Plant for the first half of the calendar year 2008 assessment cycle. Our technical staff reviewed performance indicators (PIs) for the most recent quarter and inspection results over the previous twelve months. The purpose of this letter is to inform you of our assessment of your safety performance during this period and our plans for future inspections at your facility.
This performance review and enclosed inspection plan do not include security information. A separate letter designated and marked as "Official Use Only--Security Information" will include the security cornerstone review and resultant inspection plan.
Plant performance for the most recent quarter at Ginna was within the Licensee Response column of the NRC=s Action Matrix, based on all inspection findings being classified as having very low safety significance (Green) and all PIs indicating performance at a level requiring no additional NRC oversight (Green). Therefore, we plan to conduct reactor oversight process (ROP) baseline inspections at your facility.
There were five inspection findings during the assessment period with documented cross-cutting aspects in the area of Problem Identification & Resolution (PI&R), and there is a cross-cutting theme associated with four of these findings. The cross-cutting theme involves the station taking appropriate and timely corrective actions to address issues commensurate with their safety significance, P.1(d)1. In evaluating your scope of efforts and progress in addressing the cross-cutting theme, the staff determined that you have appropriately identified the cross-cutting theme and scheduled or taken a range of corrective actions to address the cross-cutting theme. Additionally, station management has been actively involved in addressing this theme.
Based on the recent time-frame associated with some of these performance issues, corrective actions have not reasonably been in place long enough to determine the effectiveness of those corrective actions in addressing the cross-cutting theme. Therefore, the staff has concluded that a substantive cross-cutting issue in PI&R is not warranted at this time.
The enclosed inspection plan details the inspections, less those related to physical protection scheduled through December 31, 2009. In addition to baseline inspections, we plan on conducting an independent spent fuel storage installation (ISFSI) inspection, license renewal commitments inspection, and a traditional enforcement followup inspection. The inspection plan is provided to allow for the resolution of any scheduling conflicts and personnel availability
1 This is a descriptor which correlates to this cross-cutting aspect in the Inspection Manual Chapter 0305, Operating Reactor Assessment Program. issues well in advance of inspector arrival onsite. Routine resident inspections are not listed due to their ongoing and continuous nature. The inspections in the last nine months of the inspection plan are tentative and may be revised at the end-of-cycle review.
In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 of the NRC=s ARules of Practice,@ a copy of this letter and its enclosure will be made 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).
If circumstances arise which cause us to change the inspection plan, we will contact you to discuss the change as soon as possible. Please contact me at (610) 337-5233 with any questions you may have regarding this letter or the inspection plan.
Sincerely,
