UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION REGION I 2100 RENAISSANCE BLVD., SUITE 100 KING OF PRUSSIA, PA 19406-2713 July 24, 2014 MEMORANDUM TO: William M. Dean Regional Administrator FROM: Ho K. Nieh /RA MLScott for/

Director Division of Reactor Projects

SUBJECT:

VERMONT YANKEE - FIRST QUARTER 2014 PERFORMANCE REVIEW The purpose of this memorandum is to document a first quarter 2014 performance review of Vermont Yankee (VY). This review culminated in a meeting which was conducted by Region I (including the Deputy Regional Administrator), with participation from program office staff, on April 28, 2014. The purpose of the review was to evaluate licensee performance and the NRCs planned inspection activities in light of the impending shutdown of VY during the current Reactor Oversight Process (ROP) inspection cycle.

During the review, it was noted that licensee performance continues to be in the Licensee Response column of the action matrix. Discussion of additional plant-specific topics at the meeting included, but was not limited to: current plant staffing levels and attrition rates (including trends), licensed operator pipeline status, licensee management oversight, corrective action program diligence, maintenance backlogs (corrective and preventative), human performance, and the licensees safety culture and work environment.

The review did not identify any current significant areas of concern with respect to licensee performance. As such, no adjustments to the inspection plan are proposed based on this review. The next formal review of VY performance will be the mid-cycle assessment that will be the focus of an assessment meeting in August 2014, to be followed by a letter to the licensee summarizing the assessment.
