SUBJECT:
ANNUAL ASSESSMENT LETTER FOR PILGRIM NUCLEAR POWER STATION (REPORT 05000293/2012001)
Dear Mr. Smith:
On February 14, 2013, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed its end-of-cycle performance review of Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station. The NRC reviewed the most recent quarterly performance indicators in addition to inspection results and enforcement actions from January 1, 2012 through December 31, 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 that overall, Pilgrim operated in a manner that preserved public health and safety and met all cornerstone objectives. Pilgrim was in the Regulatory Response Column of the NRCs Reactor Oversight Process Action Matrix until the most recent quarter, due to a white finding in the Initiating Events Cornerstone, related to a failure to implement conduct of operations and reactivity control standards and procedures during a reactor startup. This finding was closed in the fourth quarter 2012. The NRC determined the performance at Pilgrim during the most recent quarter was within the Licensee Response Column because all inspection findings had very low (i.e., green) safety significance, all performance indicators demonstrated that your performance was within the nominal, expected range (i.e., green), and a supplemental inspection was successfully completed for the white finding on December 13, 2012. Therefore, the NRC plans to conduct Reactor Oversight Process baseline inspections at your facility.
The enclosed inspection plan lists the inspections scheduled through June 30, 2014. 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 mid-cycle performance review. In addition to baseline inspections, the NRC will perform Inspection Procedure (IP) 92709, Licensee Strike Contingency Plans, and Temporary Instruction (TI) 182, Review of the Implementation of the Industry Initiative to Control Degradation of Underground Piping and Tanks. 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 Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR10) Part 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 the NRC's Agencywide Document 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 Ronald R. Bellamy at (610)337-5200 with any questions you have regarding this letter.
Sincerely,
/RA/
