MID-CYCLE PERFORMANCE REVIEW AND INSPECTION PLAN -
CRYSTAL RIVER NUCLEAR PLANT
Dear Mr. Franke:
On August 11, 2010, the NRC staff completed its performance review of the Crystal River Nuclear Plant. Our technical staff reviewed performance indicators (PIs) for the most recent quarter and inspection results for the period from July 1, 2009, through June 30, 2010. 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 review and resultant inspection plan.
Plant performance for the most recent quarter at Crystal River Unit 3 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 or N/A). Therefore, we plan to conduct reactor oversight process (ROP) baseline inspections at your facility.
During this assessment period, a Special Inspection Team (SIT) continued to assess the circumstances associated with the concrete delamination in portions of the containment building. A public exit meeting has been scheduled for September 2, 2010, to discuss the results of our special inspection.
The enclosed inspection plan details the inspections, less those related to physical protection, scheduled through December 31, 2011. In addition to ROP baseline inspection activities, we also plan on conducting several infrequently performed inspections, which include: License Renewal; Inspection Procedure (IP) 50001, Steam Generator Replacement; Temporary Instruction (TI) 2515/177, Managing Gas Accumulation in Emergency Core Cooling, Decay Heat Removal & Containment Spray Systems; TI 2515/179, Verification of Licensee Responses to NRC Requirement for Inventories of Materials Tracked in NSTS; Initial Reactor Operating License Examinations; and Operator Licensing Training and Qualification Effectiveness. 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
FPC 2
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). 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 this inspection plan, we will contact you to discuss the change as soon as possible. Please contact me at 404-997-4721 with any questions you may have regarding this letter or the inspection plan.
Sincerely,
/RA/
