SUBJECT:

MID-CYCLE ASSESSMENT LETTER FOR CRYSTAL RIVER NUCLEAR PLANT UNIT 3 (NRC INSPECTION REPORT 05000302/2012006)

Dear Mr. Franke:

On August 15, 2012, the NRC completed its mid-cycle review of the Crystal River Nuclear Plant Unit 3. The NRC reviewed the most recent quarterly performance indicators in addition to inspection results and enforcement actions from July 1, 2011, 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 Crystal River Unit 3 during the most recent quarter was within the Regulatory Response Column of the NRCs Reactor Oversight Process (ROP)

Action Matrix due to one White finding in the Emergency Preparedness Cornerstone. This finding was closed in Inspection Report 05000302/2012503 dated June 14, 2012, (ML12166A522). Crystal River Unit 3 transitioned back to the Licensee Response Column of the Action Matrix on July 1, 2012, as documented in Inspection Report and Assessment Follow-Up Letter 05000302/2012003 dated July 27, 2012, (ML12209A382). Therefore, the NRC plans to conduct ROP baseline inspections at your facility.

In order to implement the ROP at Crystal River Unit 3, the NRC implemented Inspection Manual Chapter (IMC) 0351, Implementation of the Reactor Oversight Process at Reactor Facilities in an Extended Shutdown Condition for Reasons Other Than Significant Performance Problems.

The inspection plan prepared in accordance with IMC 0351 addresses accomplishment of the ROP baseline inspection procedures and also includes observations of the planned structural repairs to the containment building. Inspections will verify acceptable performance of major testing activities including tests associated with steam generator replacement, the containment building structural integrity test, and the containment integrated leak rate test. The inspection plan describes the current status of performance indicators and inspections planned to address

J. Franke 2 invalid performance indicators. As plant repairs and testing near completion, the inspection plan will be amended to focus on readiness for restart, including an Operational Readiness Assessment Inspection. The approved inspection plan is electronically available from the Publicly Available Record (PARS) component of the NRCs document system (ADAMS) under ML112590546.

The enclosed inspection plan lists the inspections scheduled through December 31, 2013.

Routine inspections performed by resident inspectors are not included in the inspection plan. In addition to the baseline inspections, consistent with the Agencys actions related to Fukushima, the NRC will perform TI-187, Inspection of Near-Term Task Force Recommendation 2.3 Flooding Walkdowns, and TI-188, Inspection of Near-Term Task Force Recommendation 2.3 Seismic Walkdowns. The inspections listed during the last nine months of the inspection plan are tentative and may be revised at the end-of-cycle performance review. 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. This inspection plan does not include security related inspections, which will be sent via separate, non-publicly available correspondence.

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).

Please contact me at (404) 997-4721 with any questions you may have regarding this letter or the inspection plan.

Sincerely,

/RA/
