MID-CYCLE PERFORMANCE REVIEW AND INSPECTION PLAN - SHEARON HARRIS NUCLEAR POWER PLANT
Dear Mr. Burton:
On August 13, 2008, the NRC staff completed its performance review of the Shearon Harris Nuclear Power Plant for the first half of the calendar year 2008 assessment cycle. Our technical staff reviewed performance indicators (PIs) for the most recent quarter and inspection results over the previous twelve 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 the enclosed inspection plan do not include security information.
A separate letter designated and marked as Official Use Only-Security Related Information will include the Physical Protection/Security cornerstone performance review and a resultant inspection plan.
Plant performance for the most recent quarter at Harris Unit 1 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 reactor oversight process (ROP) baseline inspections at your facility. We also plan on conducting several non-ROP inspections involving initial operator licensing examinations, Reactor Coolant System Dissimilar Welds (TI-172), and Emergency Response Organization Drill/Exercise Performance Indicator (TI-175). In addition, TI 2515/173, Review of the Implementation of the Industry Ground Water Protection Voluntary Initiative, will be performed at your facility prior to August 30, 2010. In the near term, we will contact you to assess your readiness for this inspection and then finalize our schedule accordingly.
The enclosed inspection plan details the inspections, less those related to physical protection, scheduled through December 31, 2009. 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 end-of-cycle review.

ADAMS is accessible from the NRC Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html (the Public Electronic Reading Room).

/RA/
