UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION rch 4, 2013

SUBJECT:

ANNUAL ASSESSMENT LETTER FOR TURKEY POINT NUCLEAR PLANT UNIT 3 AND UNIT 4 (REPORT 05000250/2012001 AND 05000251/2012001)

Dear Mr. Nazar:

On February 13, 2013, the NRC completed its end-of-cycle performance review of Turkey Point Nuclear Plant Unit 3 and Unit 4. The NRC reviewed the most recent quarterly performance indicators (PIs) in addition to inspection results and enforcement actions from January 1, 2012, through December 31, 2012. 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 determined that overall, Turkey Point Unit 3 and Unit 4 operated in a manner that preserved public health and safety and met all cornerstone objectives. The NRC determined the performance at Turkey Point Unit 3 and Unit 4 during the most recent quarter was within the Licensee Response Column of the NRC=s Reactor Oversight Process (ROP) Action Matrix because all inspection findings had very low (i.e., green) safety significance, and all PIs indicated that your performance was within the nominal, expected range (i.e., green).

Therefore, the NRC plans to conduct ROP baseline inspections at your facility.

The NRC determined the performance at Turkey Point Nuclear Plant Unit 3 and Unit 4 during the first three quarters of the assessment period was within the Regulatory Response Column of the NRCs ROP Action Matrix because of one White finding in the Emergency Preparedness cornerstone. This finding was documented in a final significance determination and assessment follow-up letter issued by the NRC on April 9, 2012, as Inspection Report 05000250/20120010 and 05000251/20120010 (ML12100A243). On September 13, 2012, the NRC completed a supplemental inspection in accordance with Inspection Procedure 95001, and confirmed that you had adequately addressed the White finding. As a result, NRC determined the performance at Turkey Point Unit 3 and Unit 4 returned to the Licensee Response column of the ROP Action Matrix as of the fourth quarter of 2012. This inspection was documented in an inspection report and assessment follow-up letter issued by the NRC on October 22, 2012, as Inspection Report 05000250/2012012 and 05000251/2012012 (ML12297A405). The enclosed inspection plan lists the inspections scheduled through June 30, 2014. Routine inspections performed by resident inspectors are not included in the inspection plan. The inspections listed during the last nine months of the inspection plan are tentative and may be revised at the mid-cycle performance review. The NRC provides the inspection plan to allow for the resolution of any scheduling conflicts and personnel availability issues. The NRC will contact you as soon as possible to discuss changes to the inspection plan should circumstances warrant any changes. This inspection plan does not include security related inspections, which will be sent via separate, non-publicly available correspondence.

We also plan on conducting two non-ROP inspections which include: Temporary Instruction (TI)

2515/182, Review of Implementation of the Industry Initiative to Control Degradation of Underground Piping - Phase 2, and an Initial Operator Licensing Exam.

In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 of the NRC=s ARules 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 Shane Sandal at (404) 997-4513 with any questions you may have regarding this letter.

Sincerely,

/RA/
