SUBJECT:
ANNUAL ASSESSMENT LETTER - WATERFORD 3 STEAM ELECTRIC STATION (NRC REPORT 05000382/2005001)
Dear Mr. Venable:
On February 1, 2004, the NRC staff completed its end-of-cycle plant performance assessment of Waterford 3 Steam Electric Station. The end-of-cycle review for Waterford 3 involved the participation of the reactor technical divisions in evaluating performance indicators (PIs) for the most recent quarter and inspection results for the period from January 1 through December 31, 2004. The purpose of this letter is to inform you of our assessment of your safety performance during this period and our plans for future inspections at your facility so that you will have an opportunity to prepare for these inspections and to inform us of any planned inspections that may conflict with your plant activities.
This performance review and enclosed inspection plan do not include physical protection information. A separate end-of-cycle performance review letter designated and marked as
"Exempt from Public Disclosure in Accordance with 10 CFR 2.390" will include the physical protection review and resultant inspection plan.
Overall, Waterford 3 operated in a manner that preserved public health and safety and fully met all cornerstone objectives. Plant performance for the most recent quarter was within the Regulatory Response Column of the NRCs Action Matrix, based on an inspection finding being classified as having low to moderate safety significance (White). This finding, which affected the mitigating systems cornerstone, involved the failure to establish appropriate instructions and accomplish those instructions for installation of a fuel line for the Train A emergency diesel generator in May 2003. This ultimately rendered the Train A emergency diesel generator inoperable. The corrective actions in response to this finding were completed in the third quarter of the assessment period. The NRC staff performed a supplemental inspection and verified the adequacy of these corrective actions. As a result, this White finding was closed on December 31, 2004.
The enclosed inspection plan details the inspections, less those related to physical protection, scheduled through September 30, 2006. In addition to conducting reactor oversight process baseline inspections at your facility through September 30, 2006, we also plan to conduct Temporary Instruction 2515/160, Pressurizer Penetration and Steam Space Piping
Entergy Operations, Inc.
-2-Connections in U.S. Pressurized Water Reactors, and Inspection Procedure 71004, Power Uprate, which will evaluate changes made to the plant to support the proposed power uprate.
The inspection plan is provided to minimize the resource impact on your staff and to allow for scheduling conflicts and personnel availability to be resolved in advance of inspector arrival onsite. Routine resident inspections are not listed due to their ongoing and continuous nature.
The inspections in the last 9 months of the inspection plan are tentative and may be revised at the midcycle review meeting.
In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 of the NRCs Rules of Practice, a copy of this letter and its enclosure will be made available electronically for public inspection in the NRC Public Document Room or from the Publicly Available Records (PARS) component of NRCs documents systems (ADAMS). ADAMS is accessible from the NRC Website at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html (the Public Electronic Reading Room).
If circumstances arise which cause us to change this inspection plan, we will contact you to discuss the change as soon as possible. Please contact William B. Jones at 817/860-8147 with any questions you may have regarding this letter or the inspection plan.
Sincerely,
/RA/
