ANNUAL ASSESSMENT LETTER FOR VIRGIL C. SUMMER NUCLEAR STATION, UNIT 1 - REPORT 05000395/2012001
Dear Mr. Gatlin:
On February 14, 2013, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed its end-of-cycle performance review of Virgil C. Summer Nuclear Station, Unit 1. The NRC reviewed the most recent quarterly performance indicators (PIs) in addition to inspection results and enforcement actions from January 1, 2012, through December 31, 2012. 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, Virgil C. Summer Nuclear Station, Unit 1 operated in a manner that preserved public health and safety and met all cornerstone objectives. The NRC determined the performance at Virgil C. Summer Nuclear Station, Unit 1 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, 2014. Routine inspections performed by resident inspectors are not included in the inspection plan. The inspections listed during the last nine months of the inspection plan are tentative and may be revised at the mid-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. We also plan on conducting two non-ROP inspections which include: Temporary Instruction (TI)
2515/182, Review of Implementation of the Industry Initiative to Control Degradation of Underground Piping - Phase 1, and an Initial Operator License Exam.
In accordance with 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 Agencywide Document Access and Management 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 me at 404-997-4551 with any questions you may have regarding this letter.
Sincerely,
/RA/
