SUBJECT:
ANNUAL ASSESSMENT LETTER FOR SALEM NUCLEAR GENERATING STATION (SALEM), UNIT NOS. 1 AND 2 (REPORTS 05000272/2016006 AND 05000311/2016006)
Dear Mr. Sena:
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has completed its end-of-cycle performance assessment of Salem Units 1 and 2, 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 Salem Unit 1 during the most recent quarter was within the Licensee Response Column (Column 1) of the NRCs Reactor Oversight Process (ROP) Action Matrix in Inspection Manual Chapter 0305, Operating Reactor Assessment Program, 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 Salem Unit 1.
The NRC determined the performance of Salem Unit 2 during the most recent quarter was within the Regulatory Response Column (Column 2) of the NRCs ROP Action Matrix. This conclusion was based on all inspection findings having very low safety significance (i.e., Green)
and a single White PI for Unplanned Scrams per 7,000 Hours Critical. Specifically, Salem Unit 2 crossed the Green-White threshold in the second quarter of 2016 due to four unplanned scrams that occurred on August 5, 2015, February 2 and 14, 2016, and June 28, 2016. This PI remains White because the supplemental inspection in accordance with Inspection Procedure (IP) 95001, Supplemental Inspection Response to Action Matrix Column 2 Inputs, has not been completed and an additional unplanned scram occurred on August 31, 2016. As previously noted in the 2016 mid-cycle letter (Reports 05000272/2016005 and 05000311/2016005; ML16242A0991), the NRC plans to conduct this supplemental inspection after you notify the NRC of your readiness for it.
1 The designation in parentheses refers to an Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession Number. Documents referenced in this letter are publicly available using the Accession Number in ADAMS. 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. In addition to baseline inspections, 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.
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 the plan for security-related inspections, which will be sent via separate, non-publicly available correspondence.
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 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 Fred Bower at (610) 337-5200 with any questions you have regarding this letter.
Sincerely,
/RA/
Michael L. Scott, Director Division of Reactor Projects
