SUBJECT:
ANNUAL ASSESSMENT LETTER FOR DIABLO CANYON POWER PLANT, UNITS 1 AND 2 (REPORT 05000275/2015006 AND 05000323/2015006)
Dear Mr. Halpin:
On February 16, 2016, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed its end-of-cycle performance review of Diablo Canyon Power Plant, Units 1 and 2. The NRC reviewed the most recent quarterly performance indicators (PIs) in addition to inspection results and enforcement actions from January 1, 2015 through December 31, 2015. 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 the performance at Diablo Canyon Power Plant, Units 1 and 2, began the most recent quarter in the Regulatory Response Column (Column 2) of the NRCs Reactor Oversight Process (ROP) Action Matrix because of one White finding in the Emergency Preparedness Cornerstone. On December 15, 2015, the NRC completed a supplemental inspection pursuant to Inspection Procedure 95001, Supplemental Inspection for One or Two White Inputs in a Strategic Performance Area, at the Diablo Canyon Power Plant. Based on the results of this inspection, the NRC closed the White Emergency Preparedness finding and updated its assessment of Diablo Canyon Power Plant, Units 1 and 2, as documented in Inspection Report and Follow-up Assessment Letter 05000275/2015503 and 05000323/2015503 (ML15362A615). This updated assessment transitioned Diablo Canyon Power Plant, Units 1 and 2, to the Licensee Response Column (Column 1) of the NRCs ROP Action Matrix as of December 28, 2015. Therefore, beginning in the first quarter 2016, the NRC plans to conduct ROP baseline inspections at your facility.
The enclosed inspection plan lists the inspections scheduled through December 31, 2017.
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. In response to the accident at Fukushima, the Commission issued Order EA-12-049, Order Modifying Licenses with Regard to Requirements for Mitigation Strategies for Beyond-Design-Basis External Events. This Order requires licensees to develop, implement, and maintain guidance and strategies to maintain or restore core cooling, containment, and spent fuel pool cooling capabilities following a beyond-design-basis external event. Additionally, the Commission issued Order EA-12-051, Order Modifying Licenses with Regard to Reliable Spent Fuel Pool Instrumentation. This Order requires licensees to have a reliable means of remotely monitoring wide-range Spent Fuel Pool levels to support effective prioritization of event mitigation and recovery actions in the event of a beyond-design-basis external event. The NRC is conducting audits of licensee efforts towards compliance with these Orders. The audit was completed for Diablo Canyon Power Plant, Units 1 and 2, and the information gathered will aid staff in development of the Safety Evaluation for the site. After the NRC staff receives the Final Compliance letter for the site, the Final Safety Evaluation will be issued. Then, the NRC staff will confirm through inspections the full implementation of the orders mentioned above by performing Temporary Instruction 191, Inspection of the Implementation of Mitigation Strategies and Spent Fuel Pool Instrumentation Orders and Emergency Preparedness Communication/Staffing/Multi-Unit Dose Assessment Plans.
In accordance with Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) 2.390, Public Inspections, Exemptions, Requests for Withholding, a copy of this letter, its enclosure, and your response (if any) will be available electronically for public inspection in the NRCs Public Document Room or from the Publicly Available Records (PARS) component of the NRCs Agencywide Documents Access and Management 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 Mr. Jeremy Groom at 817-200-1148 with any questions you have regarding this letter.
Sincerely,
/RA/
