SUBJECT: ANNUAL ASSESSMENT LETTER - INDIAN POINT NUCLEAR GENERATING
UNITS 2 AND 3 (REPORTS 05000247/2010001 & 05000286/2010001)
Dear Mr. Pollock:
On February 12, 2010. the NRC staff completed its performance review of Indian Point Nuclear
Generating {Indian Point} Units 2 and 3. Our technical staff reviewed performance indicators
(Pis) for the most recent quarter and inspection results from January 1 through December 31,
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 Information" will include
the security cornerstone review and resultant inspection plan.
Overall, Indian Point Units 2 and 3 operated in a manner that preserved public health and safety and fully met all cornerstone objectives, Plant performance at Unit 2 for the most recent quarter, as well as for the first three quarters of the assessment cycle, 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 an Pis indicating performance at a level requiring no additional NRC oversight (Green). Therefore, we plan to conduct reactor oversight process (ROP) baseline inspections at Unit 2. Plant performance for the most recent quarter at Unit 3 was within the Regulatory Response column of the NRC's Action Matrix, based on all inspection findings being classified as having very low safety significance (Green) and one PI of low to moderate safety significance (White) in the Initiating Events cornerstone. Specifically, the Unit 3 "Unplanned Scrams per 7000 Critical Hours" PI exceeded the GreenlWhite threshold of greater than three scrams per 7000 critical hours in the third and fourth quarters of the assessment cycle. On January 28. 2010, we were notified by your staff of your readiness for the NRC to conduct a supplemental inspection to review your actions taken to address the Unit 3 "Unplanned Scrams per 7000 Critical Hours" PI. Therefore, we plan to conduct a supplemental inspection using
J, Pollock 2 Inspection Procedure 95001, "Inspection for One or Two White Inputs in a Strategic Performance Area," beginning on April 19, 2010, This inspection is conducted to provide assurance that the root causes and contributing causes of risk significant performance issues are understood, the extent of condition is identified, and the corrective actions are sufficient to prevent recurrence. In addition to the baseline inspection program at Units 2 and 3, and the supplemental inspection at Unit 3, we plan to conduct independent spent fuel storage installation inspections. With regard to the replacement Alert and Notification System (ANS), we plan to monitor your performance through the Alert and Notification System PI and through baseline inspections. Specifically. our inspection plan includes focused problem identification and resolution baseline inspections to review your corrective actions related to the replacement ANS test results from December 2009. Additionally. the NRC plans to continue to monitor your activities related to final review and approval of the replacement ANS by the Federal Emergency Management Agency. During this assessment period, the NRC staff continued augmented oversight of your activities related to on-site groundwater contamination in accordance with the ROP Deviation Memorandum in effect for calendar year 2009 [ADAMS Ref. ML083590057]1. A team of NRC
inspectors conducted an onsite inspection in August and September 2009. to review your activities associated with characterization and mitigation of onsite groundwater contamination.
Based on the inspection results documented in an inspection report dated October 19, 2009, [ADAMS Ref. ML092920121] and NRC's monitoring of sampling activities and independent
testing of groundwater samples, the NRC concluded that you have satisfied the closure requirements detailed in the Deviation Memorandum regarding the establishment, implementation, and maintenance of an effective groundwater program to provide continued radiological monitoring of the groundwater conditions at the Indian Point Energy Center (lPEC). Therefore, we plan to implement normal baseline inspections to assess your implementation of the groundwater monitoring program at IPEC. The enclosed inspection plan details the baseline inspections, less those related to physical protection. scheduled through June 30, 2011. 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 six months of the inspection plan are tentative and may be revised at the mid-cycle safety performance review. In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 of the NRC's "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). 1 DeSignation in parentheses refers to ADAMS Accession Number. Documents referencedln this letter are publicly available using the Accession Number in ADAMS.
