UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION REGION III 2443 WARRENVILLE ROAD, SUITE 210 LISLE, IL 60532-4352 September 4, 2012 Mr. David A. Heacock President and Chief Nuclear Officer Dominion Energy Kewaunee, Inc.

SUBJECT:
MID-CYCLE ASSESSMENT LETTER - KEWAUNEE POWER STATION
Dear Mr. Heacock:
On August 8, 2012, the NRC completed its mid-cycle performance review of Kewaunee Power Station. The NRC reviewed the most recent quarterly performance indicators (PIs) 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 assessment reflects the integration of the Security Cornerstone into Inspection Manual Chapter 0305, Operating Reactor Assessment Program.
The NRC determined the performance at Kewaunee Power Station during the most recent quarter was within the Licensee Response 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 PIs indicated that your performance was within the nominal, expected range (i.e., green). Therefore, the NRC plans to conduct ROP baseline inspections at your facility.
The NRC also plans to conduct non-routine inspections and temporary instructions at your facility, including: Inspection Procedure (IP) 71003, Post-Approval Site Inspection for License Renewal; IP 71111.21, Component Design Basis Inspection; IP 71152, Problem Identification and Resolution; Temporary Instruction (TI) 2515/182, Review of Implementation of the Industry Initiative to Control Degradation of Underground Piping and Tanks (Phase 2);
TI 2515/187, Inspection of Near-Term Task Force Recommendation 2.3 Flooding Walkdowns; and TI 2515/188, Inspection of Near-Term Task Force Recommendation 2.3 Seismic Walkdowns.
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.
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 System (PARS) component of NRC's Agencywide Documents Access and Management 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 (630) 829-9628 with any questions you have regarding this letter.
Sincerely,
/RA/
