ANNUAL ASSESSMENT LETTER FOR VIRGIL C. SUMMER NUCLEAR STATION, UNIT 1 - REPORT 05000395/2019006

Dear Mr. Stoddard:

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed its end-of-cycle performance assessment of Virgil C. Summer Nuclear Station, Unit 1, reviewing performance indicators (PIs),

inspection results, and enforcement actions from January 1, 2019 through December 31, 2019.

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 Virgil C. Summer Nuclear Station, Unit 1, during the most recent quarter was within the Licensee Response Column, the highest performance category of the NRCs Reactor Oversight Process (ROP) Action Matrix, because all inspection findings had very low safety significance (i.e., Green), and all PIs were within the 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 December 31, 2021. 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. You should be aware that the agency is pursuing potential changes to the ROP, including changes to engineering inspections (SECY-18-0113, Recommendations for Modifying the Reactor Oversight Process Engineering Inspections), and other changes to the baseline inspection program described in SECY-19-0067, Recommendations for Enhancing the Reactor Oversight Process. Should these changes to the ROP be implemented, the engineering and other region-based inspections are subject to change in scope, as well as schedule. 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. As documented in Inspection Reports 05000395/2019001 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML19134A300), 05000395/2019010 (ADAMS Accession No. ML19354A673), and 05000395/2019004 (ADAMS Accession No.

ML20045C719), issued during the period of January 1, 2019, to December 31, 2019, the NRC identified three Severity Level (SL) IV Traditional Enforcement Violations in the area of impeding the regulatory process. However, due to the circumstances associated with the violations the NRC will not conduct IP 92723, Follow-Up to Inspection for Three or More Severity Level IV Traditional Enforcement Violations in the Same Area in a 12-Month Period, as a traditional enforcement follow-up inspection. The three SL IV violations issued in these inspection reports were the subject of different regulatory requirements and therefore there are no commonalities that would warrant the follow-up review described in IP 92723.

Additionally, during this period the NRC will schedule an additional inspection per a revised version Temporary Instruction (TI) 2515/194, Inspection of the Licensees Implementation of Industry Initiative Associated with the Open Phase Condition Design Vulnerability in Electrical Power Systems (NRC Bulletin 2012-01) for any sites who elect to implement the guidance of the Industry Initiative on Open Phase Condition, Revision 3 (ML19163A176), which included an option for relying on annunciation and operator manual actions instead of automatic protective features to isolate a power supply affected by an open phase condition. Licensees will be individually notified when the NRC schedules these inspections.

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 available electronically for public inspection in the NRC Public Document Room or from the Publicly Available Records (PARS) 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 me at 404-997-4603 with any questions you have regarding this letter.

Sincerely,

/RA/
