MID-CYCLE ASSESSMENT LETTER FOR VIRGIL C. SUMMER NUCLEAR STATION UNITS 2 AND 3 (NRC INSPECTION REPORT NOS.
05200027/2012006 AND 05200028/2012006)
Dear Mr. Clary:
On August 9, 2012, the U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commissioner (NRC) completed its mid-cycle performance review of Virgil C. Summer (VCS) Nuclear Station Units 2 and 3. The NRC reviewed the most recent inspection results and enforcement actions from January 1, 2012, through June 30, 2012. This letter informs you of the NRCs assessment of your facility during this period and its plans for future inspections at your facility.
The NRC determined the performance at VCS Nuclear Station Units 2 and 3 during the most recent quarter was within the Licensee Response Column of the NRC=s Construction Reactor Oversight Process (cROP) Action Matrix because all inspection findings had very low (i.e.,
green) safety significance. Therefore, the NRC plans to conduct cROP baseline inspections at your facility.
The enclosed inspection plan lists the inspections scheduled through December 31, 2012.
Routine inspections performed by construction resident inspectors are not included in the inspection plan. The inspections listed are tentative and may be revised based on construction activities occurring at the site. The NRC provides the inspection plan to allow for the resolution of any scheduling conflicts and personnel availability issues. The NRC will contact you as soon as possible to discuss changes to the inspection plan should circumstances warrant any changes.
In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 of the NRC=s ARules 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://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html (the Public Electronic Reading Room).
