UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION REGION I 475 ALLENDALE ROAD KING OF PRUSSIA, PENNSYLVANIA 19406-1415 March 2, 2006 Mr. Christopher M. Crane President and CEO AmerGen Energy Company, LLC 200 Exelon Way, KSA 3-E Kennett Square, PA 19348
SUBJECT:
ANNUAL ASSESSMENT LETTER - THREE MILE ISLAND UNIT 1 (REPORT 05000289/2006001)
Dear Mr. Crane:
On February 7, 2006, the NRC staff completed its performance review of Three Mile Island Unit 1. Our technical staff reviewed performance indicators (PIs) for the most recent quarter and inspection results for the period from January 1 through December 31, 2005. 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.
This performance review and enclosed inspection plan do not include physical protection information. A separate letter designated and marked as Official Use Only - Security-Related Information will include the physical protection review and resultant inspection plan.
Overall, Three Mile Island Unit 1 operated in a manner that preserved public health and safety and fully met all cornerstone objectives. Plant performance for the most recent quarter was within the Regulatory Response column of the NRCs Action Matrix, based on one inspection finding being classified as having low to moderate safety significance (White) in the emergency preparedness cornerstone. The White finding related to untimely conduct of required annual classroom retraining for some members of the emergency response organization. The NRC conducted a Supplemental Inspection for this White Finding during the week of February 27, 2006. The results of this inspection are not yet final.
The enclosed inspection plan details the inspections, less those related to physical protection, scheduled through September 30, 2007. The inspection plan is provided to allow for the resolution of any scheduling conflicts and personnel availability issues well in advance of inspector arrival onsite. Routine resident inspections are not listed due to their ongoing and continuous nature. The inspections in the last nine months of the inspection plan are tentative and may be revised at the mid-cycle review.
In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 of the NRCs Rules 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 (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).

Sincerely,
