ACTION MATRIX SHIFT ON THE REACTOR OVERSIGHT PROCESS PUBLIC WEB SITE FOR FERMI POWER PLANT, UNIT 2

Dear Mr. Davis:

Effective July 1, 2012, the security cornerstone was integrated into the Reactor Oversight Process (ROP) performance assessment program governed by Inspection Manual Chapter (IMC) 0305, Operating Reactor Assessment Program. Thus, security findings and performance indicators (PIs) are now input to one Action Matrix that includes all seven cornerstones of the ROP. The purpose of this letter is to inform you that the Fermi Power Plant will be shown in the Regulatory Response Column of the ROP Action Matrix when the ROP public Web site is updated on August 6, 2012.

On January 6, 2011, inspection report number 05000341/2010201(DRS); was issued by the NRC to Fermi Power Plant and characterized the final significance determination of one or more greater-than-Green inspection findings in the security cornerstone. As detailed in inspection report number 05000341/2010201(DRS); Fermi Power Plant, dated October 15, 2010, Preliminary Significance Determination of a Security-Related Greater-Than-Green Finding, security issues are immediately corrected or compensated for and placed in the licensees Corrective Action Program, while long-term corrective action is being implemented. Because the NRC already identified these greater-than-Green findings under the provisions of IMC 0320, Operating Reactor Security Assessment Program, and is in the process of planning, performing, or completing the supplemental inspection commensurate with the safety significance of the findings, these greater-than-Green findings do not represent new performance issues. However, future assessment of any new greater-than-Green security findings or performance indicators could result in actual movement in the Action Matrix.

The ROP Web site will indicate security inputs (findings and PIs) that were determined to be of very low significance, i.e., Green, and use Blue to indicate greater-than-Green (i.e., White, Yellow, or Red) security inputs. Not specifying the actual color of greater-than-Green security inputs is consistent with current Commission policy. Similarly, specific information about all security performance deficiencies will remain non-publicly available, consistent with current Commission policy.
