UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION rch 5, 2012

SUBJECT:

ANNUAL ASSESSMENT LETTER FOR COMANCHE PEAK NUCLEAR POWER PLANT UNITS 1 AND 2 (REPORT 05000445/2012001 AND 05000446/2012001)

Dear Mr. Flores:

On February 14, 2012, the NRC completed its end-of-cycle performance review of Comanche Peak Nuclear Power Plant Units 1 and 2. The NRC reviewed the most recent quarterly performance indicators (PIs) in addition to inspection results and enforcement actions from January 1, 2011, through December 31, 2011. This letter informs you of the NRCs assessment of your facility during this period and its plans for future inspections at your facility. This performance review and enclosed inspection plan do not include security information. A separate letter will include the NRCs assessment of your performance in the Security Cornerstone and its security-related inspection plan.

The NRC determined that overall, Comanche Peak Nuclear Power Plant Units 1 and 2 operated in a manner that preserved public health and safety and met all cornerstone objectives. The NRC determined the performance at Comanche Peak Nuclear Power Plant Units 1 and 2 during the most recent quarter was within the Licensee Response Column of the NRC=s 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 NRC identified a cross-cutting theme in the resources component of the human performance cross-cutting area. Specifically, the NRC identified four green findings in the resources component of the human performance cross-cutting area for failure to provide complete and accurate procedures H.2(c). The NRC determined that a substantive cross-cutting issue (SCCI) does not exist because your improvement initiatives and proposed corrective actions appear to provide sufficient scope to address the theme. The NRC will continue to monitor your staffs effort and progress in addressing the theme until the theme criteria are no longer met.

The enclosed inspection plan lists the inspections scheduled through June 30, 2013. 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.

In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 of the NRC=s ARules 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 (the Public Electronic Reading Room).

Please contact me at 817-200-1148 with any questions you have regarding this letter.

Sincerely,

/RA/
