UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION REGION II 245 PEACHTREE CENTER AVENUE NE, SUITE 1200 ATLANTA, GEORGIA 30303-1257 March 04, 2014 Mr. William R. Gideon Site Vice President Duke Energy Progress, Inc.
H. B. Robinson Steam Electric Plant Unit 2 3581 West Entrance Road Hartsville, South Carolina 29550
SUBJECT:
ANNUAL ASSESSMENT LETTER FOR H.B. ROBINSON STEAM ELECTRIC PLANT - NRC INSPECTION REPORT 05000261/2013001
Dear Mr. Gideon:
On February 18, 2014, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed its end-of-cycle performance review of H. B. Robinson Steam Electric Plant, Unit 2. The NRC reviewed the most recent quarterly performance indicators (PIs) in addition to inspection results and enforcement actions from January 1 through December 31, 2013. This letter informs you of the NRCs assessment of your facility during this period and its plans for future inspections at your facility. This performance review and enclosed inspection plan do not include security information.
The NRC determined the performance at H. B. Robinson Steam Electric Plant, Unit 2 during the most recent quarter was within the Regulatory Response Column of the NRCs Reactor Oversight Process (ROP) Action Matrix because of one inspection finding classified as low to moderate safety significance (White) in the Mitigating Systems Cornerstone and all PIs indicated that your performance was within the nominal, expected range (i.e., green). The White finding involved the failure to perform adequate preventive maintenance on the dedicated shutdown diesel generator cooling system. For the first two quarters of 2013, the performance of H. B. Robinson Steam Electric Plant, Unit 2 was assessed to be in the Licensee Response Column of the NRCs ROP Action Matrix. However, the final significance determination and assessment follow-up letter was issued on September 19, 2013, in NRC Inspection Report 201305000261/2013009 (ADAMS Accession No. ML13262A069) and the NRC assigned a White Action Matrix input to the Mitigating Systems cornerstone in the second Quarter of 2013 based upon the exit meeting date of May 22, 2013. The White Action Matrix input was later revised to start in the first quarter of 2013 after further review, and in consideration that the on-site inspection activity was completed on March 30, 2013.
W. Gideon 2
On December 19, 2013, the NRC completed the supplemental inspection in accordance with Inspection Procedure 95001 and documented the results in our letter to you dated January 31, 2014 (ML14031A464). The White finding was not considered in the Action Matrix after the end of the fourth quarter of 2013, and H. B. Robinson Steam Electric Plant, Unit 2 returned to the Licensee Response Column of the ROP Action Matrix as of January 1, 2014.
Therefore, the NRC plans to conduct ROP baseline inspections at your facility.
The enclosed inspection plan lists the inspections scheduled through June 30, 2015. 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. 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.
We also plan on conducting infrequently performed inspections and audits for Operator Licensing initial exams. Additionally, an NRC audit of licensee efforts towards compliance with Order EA-12-049, Order Modifying Licenses with Regard to Requirements for Mitigation Strategies for Beyond-Design-Basis External Events is ongoing. This audit includes an onsite component in order for the NRC to evaluate mitigating strategies as described in licensee submittals, and to receive and review information relative to associated open items. This onsite activity will occur in the months prior to a declaration of compliance for the first unit at each site, and will aid staff in development of an ultimate Safety Evaluation for the site. The date for the onsite component at your site is being coordinated with your staff. A site-specific audit plan for the visit will be provided in advance to allow sufficient time for preparations.
As a result of the Safety Culture Common Language Initiative, the terminology and coding of cross-cutting aspects were revised. All cross-cutting aspects identified during inspections conducted in calendar year 2014 will reflect this revision to Inspection Manual Chapter (IMC) 0310. The calendar year (CY) 2013 end-of-cycle assessments were conducted using the IMC 0310 guidance in effect in CY 2013 (dated October 28, 2011). Cross-cutting aspects identified in 2013 using the 2013 terminology will be converted to the latest revision in accordance with the cross-reference in IMC 0310 during the mid-cycle assessment review and evaluated for cross-cutting themes and potential substantive cross-cutting issues in accordance with IMC 0305.
In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 of the NRCs Rules 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 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).
