UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION rch 2, 2018

SUBJECT:

ANNUAL ASSESSMENT LETTER FOR FERMI POWER PLANT, UNIT 2; REPORT 05000341/2017006

Dear Mr. Polson:

The NRC has completed its end-of-cycle performance assessment of your Fermi Power Plant, Unit 2, reviewing performance indicators (PIs), inspection results, and enforcement actions from January 1, 2017 through December 31, 2017. 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 concluded that overall performance at your facility preserved public health and safety.

The NRC determined the performance at your Fermi Power Plant, Unit 2 during the most recent quarter was within the Regulatory Response Column of the NRCs Reactor Oversight Process (ROP) Action Matrix. This conclusion was based on a single inspection finding having low-to-moderate safety significance (i.e., White) in the Emergency Preparedness Cornerstone originating in the first quarter of 2017 associated with your failure to maintain the effectiveness of the sites emergency plan (Inspection Report 05000341/2017011), and all PIs within the expected range (i.e., Green). On December 29, 2017, the NRC issued supplemental (95001)

Inspection Report 05000341/2017502 and assessment follow-up letter which concluded that your actions in response to the White finding were adequate. Hence, the White finding was only be considered in assessing plant performance for a total of four quarters. As a result, the NRC determined the performance at Fermi Power Plant, Unit 2, to be in the Licensee Response Column of the Reactor Oversight Process Action Matrix as of January 1, 2018.

The enclosed inspection plan lists the inspections scheduled through December 31, 2019. This updated inspection plan now includes planned security inspections which were formerly transmitted under separate correspondence. The NRC provides the inspection plan to allow for the resolution of any scheduling conflicts and personnel availability issues. Routine inspections performed by resident inspectors are not included in the inspection plan. The inspections listed during the last 12 months of the inspection plan are tentative and may be revised. The NRC will contact you as soon as possible to discuss changes to the inspection plan should circumstances warrant any changes.

The enclosed inspection plan includes, among other inspections, a triennial 50.59 Inspection in December 2018 conducted in accordance with inspection procedure (IP) 71111.17T, Evaluations of Changes, Tests and Experiments. This letter and its enclosure will be made available for public inspection and copying at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html and at the NRC Public Document Room in accordance with 10 CFR 2.390, Public Inspections, Exemptions, Requests for Withholding.

Please contact Billy Dickson at 630-928-9827 with any questions you have regarding this letter.

Sincerely,

/RA Julio Lara Acting for/
