UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION rch 1, 2017

SUBJECT:

ANNUAL ASSESSMENT LETTER FOR BROWNS FERRY NUCLEAR PLANT UNITS 1, 2, AND 3 (REPORT 05000259/2016006, 05000260/2016006 AND 05000296/2016006 )

Dear Mr. Shea:

The NRC has completed its end-of-cycle performance assessment of the Browns Ferry Nuclear Plant, Units 1, 2, and 3, reviewing performance indicators (PIs), inspection results, and enforcement actions from January 1, 2016, through December 31, 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 concluded that overall performance at your facility preserved public health and safety.

The NRC determined the performance at Browns Ferry Units 1, 2, and 3 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.

The enclosed inspection plan lists the inspections scheduled through December 31, 2018. 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.

This inspection plan does not include security-related inspections, which will be sent via separate, non-publicly available correspondence.

In addition to the ROP baseline inspections at your facility, we also plan on conducting infrequently performed inspections which include: Inspection Procedure (IP) 92702, Follow-up On Traditional Enforcement Actions Including Violations, Deviations, Confirmatory Action Letters, Confirmatory Orders, And Alternative Dispute Resolution Confirmatory Orders. Follow-up inspections in accordance with IP 92702 will be accomplished as necessary for the follow-up to open willful violations and escalated enforcement items. 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 2515/191, Inspection of the Implementation of Mitigation Strategies and Spent Fuel Pool Instrumentation Orders and Emergency Preparedness Communication/Staffing/Multi-Unit Dose Assessment Plans.

Additionally, the NRC will perform Temporary Instruction 2515/192, Inspection of the Licensees Interim Compensatory Measures Associated With the Open Phase Condition Design Vulnerabilities in Electric Power Systems, in the first quarter of 2017.

In accordance with Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) 2.390 of the NRCs Agency Rules of Practice and Procedure, 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 me at (404) 997-4415 with any questions you may have regarding this letter.

Sincerely,

/RA/
