UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION REGION I 4T5ALLENDALE ROAD KING OF PRUSSIA. PA 19406-1415 September 1, 2011 Mr. Thomas Lynch, Acting Vice President Nine Mile Point Nuclear Station, LLC P.O. Box 63 Lycoming, NY 13093
SUBJECT:
MID-CYCLE PERFORMANCE REVIEW AND INSPECTION PLAN -
NINE MILE POINT NUCLEAR STATfoN UNITS 1 AND 2 (REPoRTo1ooa22ol2011006AND05000410l2011006)
Dear Mr. Lynch:
on August 10,2011, the U. S. Nuclear Regulatou commission (NRC) compleled its mid-cycle perforriance review of Nine Mile Point Nuiiear Station (NMPNS) Units 1 and2 The NRC reviewed the most r"""ni quarterly performance indicators (Pls) in addition to inspection results and enforcement actions from July 1, 2010, through June 30, 2011. This-letter informs you of the NRC's "rr"rg"nt of your tacitity during this [eriod and its plans for future. inspections at your facility. This performance review and 6nclosed inspection plan do not include security information. A separate letter will include the NRC's assessment of your performance in the Security cornerstone and its security-related inspection plan.
The NRC determined the performance at NMPNS Units 1 and 2 during the most recent quarter was within the Licenie" C"tponre Column of the NRC's Reactor Oversight Process (ROP)
Action Matrix because all inspection findings had very low (i.e', green) safety significance, and all pls indicated that your performance *ai within the nominal, expected ralge (i.e', green)'
ineretore, the NRC itans'to conduct ROP baseline inspections at your facility.
The enclosed inspection plan lists the inspections scheduled through December 31,2012' Routine inspections pe*ormeO by resident inspectors are not included in the inspection plan' tne inspeciions listed during the last nine months of the inspection nlan.aq tentative and may be revised at the end-of-cycie performance review. The NRC provides the inspection plan
-to allow for the resolution of Lny scheduling conflicts and personnel availability issues' ln addition to the baseline inspections, we plan on ionducting inspection procedure (lP) 71OO4, "Power Uprate," and inspections for construction, pre-gp-erAtionaltesting and operation of an independent spentiuel storage facility. The NRC will contact you as soon as possible to discuss changes to the inspelction plan should circumstances warrant any changes' In the days following the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear accident in Japan, the Commission directed the statf to establisli a senior-level agency task force to conduct a methodical and systematic review of the NRC's processes and iegulations to determine whether the agency should make additional improvements to its regulatory system. T!:.tlTc has since completed Temporary Instruction (Tl) 1g3,,,Follow-up to FuXusnima Daiichi Nuclear station Fuel Damage Event," and Tl-1g4,.Availability and Readiness Inspection of Severe Accident Management Guidelines (SAMds)" at your iacility. Results of these inspections can be found here:
http://www.nrc.qov/iapan/iapan-activities.htmt. Additionally, on May 1 1,2011' the agency
T. Lynch 2
issued NRC Bulletin 2011-01, "Mitigating Strategie$," to confirm compliance with Order EA-02' 026, subsequently imposed license conditions, and 10 CFR 50.54(hhx2), and to determine the status of licensee mitigating strategies programs. On July 12,2011, the NRC's Task Force made its recommendations to the Commission in its report, "Recommendations for Enhancing Reactor Safety in the 2lstCentury: The Near-Term Task Force Review of lnsights from the Fukushima DaiichiAccident." The NRC is currently reviewing the Task Force's recommendations to determine what additionalactions may be warranted.
In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 of the NRC's "RUles of Practice," a copy of this letter will be 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:l/www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html (the Public Electronic Reading Room).
