SUBJECT:
ANNUAL ASSESSMENT LETTER - THREE MILE ISLAND UNIT 1 (REPORT 05000289/2007001)
Dear Mr. Crane On February 15, 2007, the NRC staff completed its performance review of Three Mile Island Unit 1. Our technical staff reviewed performance indicators (PIs) for the most recent quarter and inspection results for the period from January 1 through December 31, 2006. 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 physical protection information. A separate letter designated and marked as "Exempt from Public Disclosure in accordance with 10 CFR 2.390" will include the physical protection review and resultant inspection plan.
Overall, Three Mile Island Unit 1 operated in a manner that preserved public health and safety and fully met all cornerstone objectives. Plant performance for the most recent quarter was within the Licensee Response column of the NRCs 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. In addition, inspections related to the Unit 1 Containment Sump Modifications will also be performed.
While plant performance for the most recent quarter is within the Licensee Response column of the Action Matrix, there was a safety significant inspection finding that affected your performance during the first quarter of the assessment cycle. A White finding relating to untimely conduct of required annual classroom retraining for some members of the emergency response organization was identified during a November 2004 Emergency Preparedness program inspection and was documented in a letter to you dated June 30, 2005. The NRC conducted a supplemental inspection (NRC Inspection Report 05000289/2006010) for this White finding from February 27 to March 14, 2006 and subsequently closed the issue in the first quarter of 2006.
The enclosed inspection plan details the inspections, less those related to physical protection, scheduled through June 30, 2008. The inspection plan is provided to allow for the resolution of
any scheduling conflicts and personnel availability 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 during the mid-cycle review.
In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 of the NRCs "Rules 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 this inspection plan, we will contact you to discuss the change as soon as possible. Please contact Dr. Ronald R. Bellamy of my staff at 610-337-5200 with any questions you may have regarding this letter or the inspection plan.
Sincerely,
/RA/
