SUBJECT:
ANNUAL ASSESSMENT LETTER FOR SUSQUEHANNA STEAM ELECTRIC STATION, UNITS 1 AND 2 (REPORT 05000387/2014001 AND 05000388/2014001)
Dear Mr. Rausch:
On February 9, 2015, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed its end-of-cycle performance review of Susquehanna Steam Electric Station (Susquehanna)
Units 1 and 2. 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 the performance at Susquehanna 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).
Additionally, the NRC determined the performance at Susquehanna Unit 2 during the most recent quarter was within the Licensee Response Column of the NRCs ROP Action Matrix because we satisfactorily completed Inspection Procedure (IP) 95002, Inspection for One Degraded Cornerstone or Any Three White Inputs in a Strategic Performance Area, on July 31, 2014, in which we reviewed your identified root causes and corrective actions for the Unplanned Scrams with Complications and the Unplanned Scrams per 7000 Critical Hours PIs. We also conducted a public performance assessment meeting on September 3, 2014, to report the results of this inspection and issued an assessment follow-up letter on September 12, 2014, in which we described Unit 2s transition to the Licensee Response Column of the NRCs Action Matrix (Report 05000388/2014008, ML14255A250). Therefore, because all Unit 1 and Unit 2 findings and PIs that input into the Action Matrix are Green, we plan to perform NRC 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 ROP baseline inspections, the NRC plans to perform Inspection Procedure (IP) 92702, Follow-up on Corrective Actions for Violations and Deviations, once you notify the NRC of your readiness for this inspection. 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.
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/
Daniel H. Dorman
Regional Administrator
