SUBJECT:
ANNUAL ASSESSMENT LETTER FOR THE NINE MILE POINT NUCLEAR STATION, UNITS 1 AND 2 (REPORTS 05000220/2018006 AND 05000410/2018006)
Dear Mr. Hanson,
The NRC has completed its end-of-cycle performance assessment of your Nine Mile Point Nuclear Station (Nine Mile Point), Units 1 and 2, reviewing performance indicators (PIs),
inspection results, and enforcement actions from January 1, 2018, through December 31, 2018.
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 Nine Mile Point during the most recent quarter was within the Licensee Response Column (Column 1) of the NRCs Reactor Oversight Process (ROP) Action Matrix in Inspection Manual Chapter 0305, Operating Reactor Assessment Program, 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 Nine Mile Point.
The enclosed inspection plan lists the inspections scheduled through December 31, 2020. 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). 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, beginning in January 2020. Furthermore, all 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.
In addition to normal baseline inspections, the NRC will be performing Inspection Procedure (IP) 71003, Post-Approval Site Inspection for License Renewal, and IP 60855.1, Operation of an Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation at Operating Plants, at your facility. 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 NRCs Public Document Room or from the Publicly Available Records (PARS) component of NRC's document system (ADAMS). ADAMS is accessible from the NRCs Website at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html (the Public Electronic Reading Room).
Please contact me at 610-337-5120 with any questions you have regarding this letter.
Sincerely,
/RA/
Erin Carfang, Chief Reactor Projects Branch 1 Division of Reactor Projects
