MID-CYCLE LETTER FOR NORTH ANNA POWER STATION, UNITS 1 AND 2 --
NRC ASSESSMENT REPORT 05000338/2015005 AND 05000339/2015005
Dear Mr. Heacock:
On August 13, 2015, the NRC completed its mid-cycle performance review of North Anna Power Station, Units 1 and 2. The NRC reviewed the most recent quarterly performance indicators (PIs) in addition to inspection results and enforcement actions from July 1, 2014, through June 30, 2015. 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 that overall, North Anna, Units 1 and 2, operated in a manner that preserved public health and safety and met all cornerstone objectives. The NRC determined that the performance at North Anna Power Station, Units 1 and 2, during the most recent quarter was within the Licensee Response Column of the NRCs Reactor Oversight Process (ROP) 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, the NRC plans to conduct ROP baseline inspections at your facility.
The enclosed inspection plan lists the inspections scheduled through June 30, 2017. Routine inspections performed by resident inspectors are not included in the inspection plan. The inspections listed during the second half of the inspection schedule of the inspection plan are tentative and may be revised at the end-of-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 the routine ROP baseline inspections at your facility, we also plan on conducting infrequently performed inspections which include: Temporary Instruction (TI) 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, an initial operator license examination, and Inspection Procedure (IP) 71003, Post-Approval Site Inspection for License Renewal.
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 NRCs Agencywide Document Access and Management System (ADAMS). ADAMS is accessible from the NRC Website at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html (the Public Electronic Reading Room).
Please contact me at (404) 997-4609 with any questions you may have regarding this letter.
Sincerely,
/RA/
Steven D. Rose, Chief Reactor Projects Branch 5 Division of Reactor Projects
