SUBJECT:
ANNUAL ASSESSMENT LETTER FOR SALEM NUCLEAR GENERATING STATION, UNIT NOS. 1 AND 2 (REPORT 05000272/2014001 AND 05000311/2014001)
Dear Mr. Joyce:
On February 11, 2015, the U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed its end-of-cycle performance review of Salem Nuclear Generating Station, Unit Nos. 1 and 2 (Salem). The NRC reviewed the most recent quarterly performance indicators (PIs) in addition to inspection results and enforcement actions from January 1, 2014 through December 31, 2014. 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 Salem Unit 1 during the most recent quarter was within the Regulatory Response Column of the NRCs Reactor Oversight Process (ROP) Action Matrix because of a White PI for Unplanned Scrams per 7,000 hours0 days <br />0 hours <br />0 weeks <br />0 months <br /> critical. This PI changed to White in the 4th quarter of 2014 due to a manual reactor scram on October 19, 2014, preceded by three scrams in the 2nd quarter of 2014. Salem Unit 2 remains in the Licensee Response Column of the 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, in addition to ROP baseline inspections, the NRC plans to conduct a supplemental inspection at Unit 1 in accordance with Inspection Procedure 95001, Supplemental Inspection for One or Two White Inputs in a Strategic Performance Area, upon notification of your readiness. The inspection will be focused on ensuring that the root causes and contributing causes of the performance issue are understood, the extent of condition and cause are identified, and the corrective actions are sufficient to prevent recurrence.
The NRC evaluates cross-cutting themes, in accordance with Inspection Manual Chapter 0310, to determine whether a substantive cross-cutting issue exists in a particular area and to encourage licensees to take appropriate actions before more significant performance issues emerge. The NRC identified a cross-cutting theme at Salem in the Human Performance area.
Specifically, the NRC identified four or more findings with a documented cross-cutting aspect of H.8 - Procedure Adherence: Individuals follow processes, procedures and work instructions.
The NRC determined that a substantive cross-cutting issue associated with H.8 does not exist because, currently, the NRC does not have a concern with your staffs scope of effort and progress in addressing the cross-cutting theme. Specifically, the theme was identified at the end of the assessment period and PSEG has recognized the cross-cutting theme and entered it into the corrective action program. The NRC will evaluate corrective actions once PSEG has had time to evaluate the theme and implement corrective actions. The enclosed inspection plan lists the inspections scheduled at Salem through June 30, 2016.
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 addition to baseline inspections, the NRC will conduct Inspection Procedure (IP) 60855.1, Operation of an Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation at Operating Plants. Additionally, the NRC will conduct IP 71003, Post-Approval Site Inspection For License Renewal, to verify the license conditions added as part of the renewed operating license, regulatory commitments, selected aging management programs (AMPs), and time limited aging analyses (TLAAs) are implemented and/or completed in accordance with 10 CFR Part 54.
In accordance with Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Part 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 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 Glenn Dentel at (610) 337-5233 with any questions you have regarding this letter.
Sincerely,
/RA Michael L. Scott Acting for/
