SUBJECT:
ANNUAL ASSESSMENT LETrER - PEACH BOTTOM ATOMIC POWER
STATION (05000277/2010001 and (500027812010001)
Dear Mr. Pardee:
On February 16,2010, the NRC staff completed its performance review of Peach Bottom
Atomic Power Station (PBAPS). Our technical staff reviewed performance indicators (Pis)
for the most recent quarter and inspection results for the period from January 1, 2009 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.
The performance review and enclosed inspection plan do not include security information. A
separate letter designated and marked "Official Use Only - Security Information" will include the
security cornerstone review and resultant inspection plan.
Overall, Peach Bottom Units 2 and 3 operated in a manner that preserved public health and
safety and fully met all cornerstone objectives. Plant performance for the most recent quarter
as well as 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 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 infrequently performed
inspection procedures (IPs) which include IP 60855, "Operation of an ISFSI" and IP 92702,
"Follow-up on Corrective Actions for Violations and Deviations."
Regarding IP 92702, the staff issued a Confirmatory Order to Exelon on December 1,2009,
formalizing an agreement reached through the NRC's Alternative Dispute Resolution process
regarding two acts of deliberate misconduct (ML093350150) 1. The first act involved a
maintenance supervisor who provided incomplete and inaccurate information for unescorted
access to the site. The second act involved a licensed reactor operator who deliberately failed
to report an arrest in accordance with the site security program procedures associated with
driving under the influence. In accordance with this Confirmatory Order, the NRC will conduct
the IP 92702 follow-up inspection to review the corrective actions associated with these issues.
1 Designation in parenthesis refers to an ADAMS accession number. Documents referenced in this letter
are publicly available using the accession number in ADAMS.

Additionally, on January 6, 2009, the staff issued a severity level III Notice of Violation {NOV},
with a $65,000 civil penalty (ML083530084) related to the inattentive security officer issue
which was discovered in September 2007. As discussed in the 2009 Mid Cycle Performance
Assessment Letter (ML0924402530), the extensive inspections completed adequately
addressed this issue.
The enclosed inspection plan details the 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 nine months of the inspection plan are tentative and may be revised
at the mid-cycle review.
I n accordance with 10 CFR Part 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 Rec:ords (PARS) component of NRC's
Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS). ADAMS is accessible
from the NRC Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html{the Public Electronic
Reading Room).
If circumstances arise which cause us to change the inspection plan, we will contact you to
discuss the change as soon as possible. Please c(mtact me at (610) 337-5120 with any
questions you may have regarding this letter or the inspection plan.
Sincerely,
