MID-CYCLE PERFORMANCE REVIEW AND INSPECTION PLAN - NORTH ANNA POWER STATION
Dear Mr. Heacock:
On August 13, 2009, the NRC staff completed its performance review of North Anna Power Station Units 1 and 2. Our technical staff reviewed performance indicators (PIs) for the most recent quarter and inspection results for the period from July 1, 2008 through June 30, 2009.
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-Related Information" will include the Security cornerstone performance review and resultant inspection plan.
Plant performance for the most recent quarter at North Anna Power Station Units 1 and 2 was within the Licensee Response column of the NRC=s 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.
The enclosed inspection plan details the inspections, less those related to security, scheduled through December 31, 2010. In addition to ROP baseline inspection activities, we also plan on conducting infrequently performed inspections, which include: Temporary Instruction (TI) 2515/172, Reactor Coolant System Dissimilar Metal Butt Welds; ISFSI Operational Inspection; and Operator Licensing E+xaminations. 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.
In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 of the NRC=s ARules 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).
VEPCO 2
As you may know, 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 me at 404-562-4551 with any questions you may have regarding this letter or the inspection plan.
Sincerely,
/RA/
