D.C. Cook Performance Summary
AEP has operated D.C. Cook in a manner that preserves public health and safety. All cornerstone objectives are being met.
Unit 1 is in the Regulatory Response column of the Action Matrix.
Unit 2 is in the Degraded Cornerstone column of the Action Matrix. Two Unit 2 White performance indicators at the end of the assessment period represented a moderate degradation in safety performance.
One substantive cross-cutting issue in the Problem Identification and Resolution area remains open.
NRC continues to conduct baseline inspections at D.C. Cook for the assessment period and performed a supplemental inspection to review the White performance indicators.
