SUBJECT:
PILGRIM NUCLEAR POWER STATION - NOTIFICATION OF INSPECTION PROCEDURE 95003 PHASE A AND PHASE B INSPECTIONS
Dear Mr. Dent:
The purpose of this letter is to notify you that U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff will conduct the Inspection Procedure (IP) 95003 inspection, described in the mid-cycle assessment letter issued on September 1, 2015, (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML15239A647) in three phases (A through C).
The information provided in this letter supplements, but does not supersede, the inspection plan information included in the mid-cycle letter.
The Phase A and Phase B portions of IP 95003 will be conducted during the weeks of January 11, 2016, and April 4, 2016, respectively. Each inspection will consist of three inspectors from the NRCs Region I office. Both inspections will be conducted in accordance with IP 95003, Section 02.02, and will serve as partial completion of this portion of the IP.
Phase A of this inspection will review various aspects of the stations corrective action program to determine whether continued operation of the Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station is acceptable and whether additional regulatory actions are necessary to arrest declining plant performance.
Phase B will look at overall corrective action program performance since the last problem identification and resolution inspection completed in August 2015, focusing in particular on progress in the sites performance improvement plan. The results of these two phases will inform the final scope for the Phase C inspection and once your staff has indicated it is ready, we will schedule Phase C. An updated inspection plan is attached.
J. Dent In accordance with Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) 2.390 of the NRCs Rules of Practice, a copy of this letter will be made available electronically for public inspection in the NRC Public Document Room or from the Publicly Available Records component of the NRC's 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 me at (610) 337-5069 with any questions you have regarding this letter.
Sincerely,
/RA/
