UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION REGION II 245 PEACHTREE CENTER AVENUE NE, SUITE 1200 ATLANTA, GEORGIA 30303-1257 September 3, 2013 Mr. Ernie Kapopoulos, Vice President Carolina Power and Light Company Shearon Harris Nuclear Power Plant P.

SUBJECT:

MID CYCLE ASSESSMENT LETTER FOR SHEARON HARRIS NUCLEAR POWER PLANT (NRC INSPECTION REPORT 05000400/2013006)

Dear Mr. Kapopoulos:

On August 14, 2013, the NRC staff completed its mid-cycle performance review of the Shearon Harris Nuclear Power Plant, Unit 1. The NRC reviewed the most recent quarterly performance indicators (PIs) in addition to inspection results and enforcement actions from July 1, 2012, through June 30, 2013. 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 Shearon Harris Nuclear Power Plant, Unit 1 during the most recent quarter was within the Licensee Response Column of the NRCs 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.

Plant performance for the first three quarters of the assessment period was within the Regulatory Response column of the NRCs ROP Action Matrix based on one inspection finding being classified as having low-to-moderate safety significance (i.e., White) and all PIs indicated that your performance was within the nominal, expected range (i.e., Green). The White finding involved the failure to adequately maintain the ventilation system equipment of the Emergency Operations Facility for protracted periods of time. This White finding was closed on March 22, 2013, as documented in our letter to you dated April 23, 2013 [ML13114A069]. Unit 1 returned to the Licensee Response Column of the ROP Action Matrix in the second quarter of 2013.

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 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.

E. Kapopoulos 2 We also plan on conducting: two non ROP baseline inspections; Initial Operator Licensing Examinations; and 2515/TI-182, Review of Implementation of the Industry Initiative to Control Degradation of Underground Piping, Phase 2.

In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 of the NRCs Rules of Practice, a copy of this letter and its enclosure will be made 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 George Hopper at 404-997-4645 with any questions you may have regarding this letter.

Sincerely,

/William Jones RA for/
