SUBJECT:
ANNUAL ASSESSMENT LETTER FOR RIVER BEND STATION - REPORT 05000458/2023006
Dear Phil Hansett:
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has completed its end-of-cycle performance assessment of River Bend Station, reviewing performance indicators (PIs), inspection results, and enforcement actions from January 1, 2023, through December 31, 2023. 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 baseline inspection program was completed at your facility as defined in Inspection Manual Chapter 2515, Light-Water Reactor Inspection Program
- Operations Phase.
The NRC determined the performance at River Bend Station during the most recent quarter was within the Regulatory Response Column, the second highest performance column of the NRCs Reactor Oversight Process (ROP) Action Matrix. This conclusion was based on a single inspection finding having low-to-moderate safety significance (White) in the Emergency Preparedness Cornerstone originating in the third quarter of 2023, and all performance indicators (PIs) within the expected range (Green).
The enclosed inspection plan lists the inspections scheduled through December 31, 2025.
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. 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.
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 (the Public Electronic Reading Room). Please contact Jeffery E. Josey at 817-200-1148 with any questions you have regarding this letter.
Sincerely, Geoffrey B Miller, Director Division of Operating Reactor Safety Docket No. 05000458 License No. NPF-47 Enclosure:
