SUBJECT:

ANNUAL ASSESSMENT LETTER FOR R. E. GINNA NUCLEAR POWER PLANT, LLC (REPORTS 05000244/2017006, 05000244/2017402, AND 05000244/2017501)

Dear Mr. Hanson:

The NRC has completed its end-of-cycle performance assessment of R. E. Ginna Nuclear Power Plant LLC (Ginna), 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 Ginna 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.

Ginna was in the Regulatory Response Column of the NRCs ROP Action Matrix until the end of first quarter 2017. This was based on a single inspection finding having low-to-moderate safety significance (i.e., White) in the Emergency Preparedness Cornerstone originating in the second quarter of 2016, and all PIs within the expected range (i.e., Green). This was documented in inspection report and assessment follow-up letter (05000244/2016009) (ML16262A213) dated September 20, 2016. On November 28, 2016, the NRC issued a supplemental inspection report (05000244/2016010) (ML16333A024) which stated that your actions to address the performance issue were acceptable and the finding was closed. On April 3, 2017, the NRC issued an assessment follow-up letter (05000244/2017009) (ML17093A560) returning Ginna to the Licensee Response Column of the NRC Action Matrix effective April 1, 2017.

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, 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 Michelle Catts, Acting Branch Chief, Projects Branch 1, at 610-337-5012 with any questions you have regarding this letter.

Sincerely,

/RA/

David L. Pelton, Director, Division of Reactor Projects Docket No. 50-244 License No. DPR-18 Enclosure:
