SUBJECT:
MID-CYCLE PERFORMANCE REVIEW AND INSPECTION PLAN -
CLINTON POWER STATION (REPORT 50-461/04-01)
Dear Mr. Skolds:
On July 30, 2003, the NRC staff completed its mid-cycle plant performance assessment of the
Clinton Power Station. The mid-cycle review for the Clinton Power Station involved the
participation of all technical divisions in evaluating performance indicators (PIs) for the most
recent quarter and inspection results for the first half of the current assessment cycle,
January 1 - December 31, 2003. 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 that 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 only baseline inspections at your facility
through September 30, 2004.
During this last quarter, the staff issued a severity level III Notice of Violation with no civil
penalty in accordance with the enforcement policy. On May 6, 2003, a Notice was issued for
the failure to provide complete and accurate information regarding two individuals medical
certification. The individuals did not meet minimum standards and required an amendment to
their individual licenses to include restrictions for no solo operation.
The enclosed inspection plan details the inspections scheduled through September 30, 2004.
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. Four infrequently performed inspections will be conducted this year. These include
(1) Biennial Emergency Preparedness Inspection, (2) Safeguards Interim Compensatory
Measures Inspections, (3) Safety System Design Inspection, and (4) Problem Identification and
Resolution Inspection. Routine resident inspections are not listed due to their ongoing and
continuous nature. The inspections in the last 6 months of the inspection plan are tentative and
may be revised at the end-of-cycle review meeting.
