SUBJECT:
ANNUAL ASSESSMENT LETTER FOR DAVIS-BESSE NUCLEAR POWER STATION (REPORT 05000346/2012001)
Dear Mr. Lieb:
On February 13, 2013, the NRC staff completed its end-of-cycle performance review of Davis-Besse Nuclear Power Station. The NRC reviewed the most recent quarterly performance indicators (PIs) 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 the performance at Davis-Besse during the most recent quarter was within the Regulatory Response Column of the NRCs Reactor Oversight Process (ROP) Action Matrix because of one or more greater-than-green Security Cornerstone inputs on August 10, 2012, as described in Inspection Reports 05000346/2012405 and 050003461/2012403.
In addition to ROP baseline inspections, the NRC plans to conduct a supplemental inspection in accordance with Inspection Procedure 95001, Supplemental Inspection for One or Two White Inputs in a Strategic Performance Area. Your staff has not yet notified the NRC of your readiness for it to conduct a supplemental inspection to review the actions taken to address the performance issues.
The enclosed inspection plan lists the inspections scheduled through December 31, 2014.
Routine inspections performed by resident inspectors are not included in the inspection plan.
The inspections listed during the last 12 months of the inspection plan are tentative and may be revised at the mid-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. The NRC also plans on performing special and infrequently performed inspections: Inspection Procedure (IP) 50001, Steam Generator Replacement Inspection, IP 71111.05T, Fire Protection (Triennial), and IP 71111.07T, Heat Sink Performance. In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 of the NRC's "Rules of Practice," a copy of this letter and its enclosure 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), accessible from the NRC Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html (the Public Electronic Reading Room).
Please contact Mr. Jamnes Cameron, Chief, Division of Reactor Projects, Branch 6, at 630 829-9833 with any questions you may have regarding this letter or the inspection plan.
Sincerely,
/RA/
Gary L. Shear, Acting Director Division of Reactor Projects
