ERRATA FOR MID-CYCLE ASSESSMENT LETTER FOR FORT CALHOUN STATION (REPORT 05000285/2016005)
Dear Mr. Marik:
August 31, 2016
SUBJECT:
MID-CYCLE ASSESSMENT LETTER FOR FORT CALHOUN STATION (REPORT 05000285/2016005)
Dear Mr. Marik:
On August 11, 2016, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed its mid-cycle performance review of the Fort Calhoun Station. The NRC reviewed the most recent quarterly performance indicators (PIs) in addition to inspection results and enforcement actions from July 1, 2015 through June 30, 2016. 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, Fort Calhoun Station operated in a manner that preserved public health and safety and met all cornerstone objectives. The NRC determined the performance at Fort Calhoun Station during the most recent quarter was within the Licensee Response Column of the NRCs 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.
By letter dated June 24, 2016, Omaha Public Power District (OPPD) certified their intention to permanently cease power operations at Fort Calhoun Station by December 31, 2016 (ADAMS Accession No. ML16176A213). Following certification from OPPD that permanent shutdown and permanent fuel removal from the reactor vessel has occurred, the Fort Calhoun Station 10 CFR Part 50 license will no longer authorize plant operation, and the station will transition to NRC decommissioning oversight in accordance with Inspection Manual Chapter 2561, Decommissioning Power Reactor Inspection Program.
The enclosed inspection plan lists the operating reactor ROP inspections scheduled through June 30, 2018. In consideration of your June 24, 2016, letter, the inspection plan has been adjusted to ensure inspections needed to verify safe operation during the transition to a defueled plant condition are performed. Routine inspections performed by resident inspectors are not included in the inspection plan. 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 Enclosure 2 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, and Order EA-12-051, Order Modifying Licenses with Regard to Reliable Spent Fuel Pool Instrumentation. The NRC conducted audits of licensee efforts towards compliance with these Orders, and the information gathered will aid staff in development of the ultimate Safety Evaluation for the site. After the NRC staff receives the Final Compliance letter for the site, the 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 Staff Requirements Memorandum - SECY 16-0009, Recommendations Resulting from the Integrated Prioritization and Re-Baselining of Agency Activities, the Commission approved the NRC staff recommendation to discontinue the formal mid-cycle assessment process beginning in calendar year 2017. This will be the final mid-cycle assessment letter. The staff will continue to conduct quarterly assessment meetings and communicate changes in the assessment of licensee performance in accordance with the guidance in Inspection Manual Chapter 0305, Operating Reactor Assessment Program.
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 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 me at 817-200-1173 with any questions you have regarding this letter.
Sincerely,
/RA/
