SUBJECT:
ANNUAL ASSESSMENT LETTER FOR ST. LUCIE NUCLEAR PLANT, UNIT 1 AND UNIT 2 - REPORT 05000335/2019006 AND 05000389/2019006
Dear Mr. Moul:
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed its end-of-cycle performance assessment of St. Lucie Nuclear Plant Unit 1 and Unit 2, reviewing performance indicators (PIs),
inspection results, and enforcement actions from January 1, 2019, through December 31, 2019.
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 St. Lucie Nuclear Plant Unit 1 and Unit 2 during the most recent quarter, was within the Licensee Response Column, the highest performance category 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 NRC identified a cross-cutting theme in the Safety Conscious Work Environment area. The licensee met this criterion because the NRC issued a severity level II enforcement action that involved discrimination. Specifically, on September 12, 2019, a severity level II notice of violation was issued to St. Lucie (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML19234A332) after completion of an investigation which determined that a Florida Power and Light Regional Vice President deliberately discriminated against a contract employee for engaging in a protected activity in March of 2017. This violation is being tracked as issue number 05000335,05000389/2019004-03 as documented in inspection report 05000335,05000389/2019004 (ADAMS Accession No. ML20044C800). The NRC will continue to monitor your staffs effort and progress in addressing the theme until the theme criterion is no longer met.
The enclosed inspection plan lists the inspections scheduled through December 31, 2021. 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. You should be aware that the agency is pursuing potential changes to the ROP, including changes to engineering inspections (SECY-18-0113, Recommendations for Modifying the Reactor Oversight Process Engineering Inspections), and other changes to the baseline inspection program described in SECY-19-0067, Recommendations for Enhancing the Reactor Oversight Process. Should these changes to the ROP be implemented, the engineering and other region-based inspections are subject to change in scope, as well as schedule. 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.
From January 1, 2019 through December 31, 2019, the NRC issued one severity level II traditional enforcement violation as documented above. Therefore, the NRC plans to conduct Inspection Procedure 92722, Follow Up Inspection For Any Severity Level I or II Traditional Enforcement Violation or for Two or More Severity Level III Traditional Enforcement Violations in a 12-Month Period, to follow-up on this violation.
Additionally, during this period the NRC will schedule an additional inspection per a revised version Temporary Instruction (TI) 2515/194, Inspection of the Licensees Implementation of Industry Initiative Associated with the Open Phase Condition Design Vulnerability in Electrical Power Systems (NRC Bulletin 2012-01) for any sites who elect to implement the guidance of the Industry Initiative on Open Phase Condition, Revision 3 (ML19163A176), which included an option for relying on annunciation and operator manual actions instead of automatic protective features to isolate a power supply affected by an open phase condition. Licensees will be individually notified when the NRC schedules these inspections.
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.
Please contact me at 404-997-4603 with any questions you have regarding this letter.
Sincerely,
/RA/
