SUBJECT:
ANNUAL ASSESSMENT LETTER FOR DUANE ARNOLD ENERGY CENTER (REPORT 05000331/2017006)
Dear Mr. Curtland:
The NRC has completed its end-of-cycle performance assessment of the Duane Arnold Energy Center, reviewing performance indicators (PIs), inspection results and enforcement actions from January 1, 2017, through December 31, 2017. 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 the Duane Arnold Energy Center during the most recent quarter was within the Licensee Response Column (Column 1) 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, 2019.
This updated inspection plan now includes planned security inspections which were formerly transmitted under separate correspondence. 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 12 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 letter and its enclosure will be made available for public inspection and copying at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html and at the NRC Public Document Room in accordance with 10 CFR 2.390, Public Inspections, Exemptions, Requests for Withholding.
Please contact me at 630-829-9731 with any questions you have regarding this letter.
Sincerely,
/RA/
Karla Stoedter Chief, Branch 1 Division of Reactor Projects
