MID-CYCLE PERFORMANCE REVIEW AND INSPECTION PLAN -
DUANE ARNOLD ENERGY CENTER
Dear Mr. Van Middlesworth:
On August 14, 2007, the NRC staff completed its performance review of the Duane Arnold Energy Center for the first half of the calendar year 2007 assessment cycle. Our technical staff reviewed performance indicators (PIs) for the most recent quarter and inspection results over the previous 12 months. 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 security information. A separate letter designated and marked as "Official Use Only - Security Information" will include the security cornerstone review and resultant inspection plan.
Plant performance for the most recent quarter was within the Regulatory Response column of the NRCs Action Matrix based on one White finding in the Emergency Preparedness cornerstone. The details regarding this finding were documented in NRC Inspection Report 05000331/2006009(DRS).
The enclosed inspection plan details the inspections, less those related to security, scheduled through December 31, 2008. The inspection plan includes a component design bases inspection in February 2008, and 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 end-of-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), is accessible from the NRC Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html (the Public Electronic Reading Room).
G. Van Middlesworth The NRC is currently evaluating the scope and frequency of all the baseline inspection procedures. If the results of the evaluation, or any other circumstances, cause us to change the inspection plan, we will contact you to discuss the change as soon as possible. Please contact Kenneth Riemer at (630) 829-9628 with any questions you may have regarding this letter or the inspection plan.
Sincerely,
/RA by A. H. Hsia for/
