SUBJECT:
MID-CYCLE PERFORMANCE REVIEW AND INSPECTION PLAN KEWAUNEE NUCLEAR POWER PLANT
Dear Mr. Coutu:
On July 31, 2002, the NRC staff completed its mid-cycle plant performance assessment of the Kewaunee Nuclear Power Plant. In accordance with NRC Inspection Manual Chapter 0305, Operating Reactor Assessment Program, the mid-cycle review involved the participation of all technical divisions in evaluating the performance of your Kewaunee facility for the first half of the current assessment cycle, January 1 - December 31, 2002. The purpose of this letter is to inform you of our assessment of your safety performance during this period and our plans for future inspections at your facility so that you will have an opportunity to prepare for these inspections and to inform us of any planned inspections which may conflict with your plant activities.
Plant performance for the most recent quarter was within the Licensee Response Column of the NRCs Action Matrix, based on all inspection findings being classified as having very low safety significance (Green) and all PIs indicating performance at a level requiring no additional NRC oversight (Green). Therefore, we plan to conduct baseline inspections at your facility through September 30, 2003. However, the significance of a finding involving the lack of a fixed suppression system in the safeguards alley is still under review as part of the Significance Determination Process. An inspection was conducted from July 31 to August 2, 2002, to follow up on this issue and the results will be transmitted to you by separate correspondence. Additional inspections may be conducted, as specified by the Action Matrix, after we complete our review of the results. We will notify you of any additional inspections.
The enclosed inspection plan details the inspections scheduled through September 30, 2003.
The inspection plan is provided to minimize the resource impact on your staff and to allow for scheduling conflicts and personnel availability to be resolved in advance of inspector arrival onsite. Routine resident inspections are not listed due to their ongoing and continuous nature.
The inspection plan for the last 6 months is tentative and may be revised at the end-of-cycle review.
In addition, the NRC is in the process of finalizing a Temporary Instruction that will be used to review implementation of the Interim Compensatory Measures required by the Agencys Security Order to all commercial nuclear power plants dated February 25, 2002. Schedules
A. Coutu have not yet been finalized, but it is anticipated that these inspections will begin within the next calendar quarter. Once finalized, the details will be communicated by separate correspondence.
In accordance with 10 CFR 2.790 of the NRCs Rule of Practice, a copy of this letter and its enclosure will be made available electronically for public inspection in the NRC Public Document Room or from the Publicly Available Records System (PARS) component of NRCs 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).
If circumstances arise which cause us to change this inspection plan, we will contact you to discuss the change as soon as possible. Please contact me at (630) 829-9631 with any questions you may have regarding this letter or the inspection plan.
Sincerely,
/RA/
