Dear Mr. Shea:

It was identified that in NRC Integrated Inspection Report 05000259/2012003,

RCS Activity for Units 2 and 3; and RCS Leakage for Units 2 and 3. These items were

completed and documented in NRC Integrated Inspection Report 05000259/2007002, 05000260/2007002, and 05000296/2007002 and should be removed from this report.

• Unit 2 Mitigating Systems Performance Index - Reactor Core Isolation Cooling

• Unit 3 Mitigating Systems Performance Index - Reactor Core Isolation Cooling

4OA1 Performance Indicator (PI) Verification

Cornerstone: Barrier Integrity

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors reviewed the licensee's procedures and methods for compiling and

reporting the Performance Indicators (PI) listed below, including procedure SPP-3.4, Performance Indicator for NRC Reactor Oversight Process for Compiling and Reporting

PIs to the NRC. The inspectors reviewed the raw data for the PITs listed below for the

1 st through 4

th quarters of 2006. The inspectors compared the licensee's raw data

against graphical representations and specif

ic values reported to the NRC in the 4

th quarter 2006 PI report to verify that the data was correctly reflected in the report. The

inspectors also reviewed the past history of

PERs for any that might be relevant to problems with the PI program. Furthermore, the inspectors met with responsible chemistry and engineering personnel to discuss and go over licensee records to verify

that the PI data was appropriately captured, calculated correctly, and discrepancies resolved. The inspectors reviewed Nuclear Energy Institute 99-02, Regulatory

Assessment Performance Indicator Guideline, to verify that industry reporting guidelines

were applied.

• RCS Activity for Units 2 and 3

• RCS Leakage for Units 2 and 3

b. Findings

No findings were identified.

Cornerstone: Emergency Preparedness

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors sampled licensee submittals relative to the PIs listed below for the period

October 1, 2011, and March 31, 2012. To verify the accuracy of the PI data reported during that period, PI definitions and guidance contained in NEI 99-02, "Regulatory Assessment Performance Indicator Guideline," Revision 6, were used to confirm the

reporting basis for each data element.

• Emergency Response Organization (ERO) Drill/Exercise Performance

• ERO Drill Participation

• Alert and Notification System Reliability
