SUBJECT:
ANNUAL ASSESSMENT LETTER FOR PEACH BOTTOM ATOMIC POWER STATION (REPORT 05000277/2014001 AND 05000278/2014001)
Dear Mr. Hanson:
On February 12, 2015, the U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed its end-of-cycle performance review of Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station (PBAPS). The NRC reviewed the most recent quarterly performance indicators (PIs) in addition to inspection results and enforcement actions from January 1, 2014 through December 31, 2014. 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, PBAPS Units 2 and 3 operated in a manner that preserved public health and safety and met all cornerstone objectives. The NRC determined the performance at PBAPS Units 2 and 3 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.
The enclosed inspection plan lists the inspections scheduled through June 30, 2016. 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 the baseline inspection program at PBAPS, we also plan to conduct Inspection Procedure (lP) 71004, "Power Uprate, and IP 60855.1, Operation of an IFISI Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation at Operating Plants. 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. 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, and Order EA-12-051, "Order Modifying Licenses with Regard to Reliable Spent Fuel Pool Instrumentation," is ongoing for various sites. The audit includes an onsite visit for the NRC staff to evaluate mitigating strategies as described in the licensee submittals, and to receive and review information relative to associated open items. This onsite audit will occur prior to the first unit at the site achieving compliance with the Orders and the audit will aid NRC staff in developing a final Safety Evaluation for the site. The audit at your site is being coordinated for the week of June 22, 2015. A site-specific audit plan for the visit will be provided in advance to allow sufficient time for preparations.
From January 1 to December 31, 2014, the NRC issued one traditional escalated enforcement action associated with the violation found in the inspection report 07200029/14-008 (ML14307A797). Therefore, the NRC plans to conduct IP 92702, Follow-up on Traditional Enforcement Actions Including Violations, Deviations, Confirmatory Action Letters, Confirmatory Orders, and Alternative Dispute Resolution Confirmatory Orders, to follow-up on this violation.
In accordance with Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Part 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 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 Fred Bower at (610) 337-5200 with any questions you have regarding this letter.
Sincerely,
/RA/
Fred L. Bower, III, Chief
