SUBJECT:
MID-CYCLE PERFORMANCE REVIEW AND INSPECTION PLAN - PRAIRIE ISLAND NUCLEAR GENERATING PLANT, UNIT 1 AND 2
Dear Mr. Schimmel:
On August 20, 2009, the NRC staff completed its performance review of Prairie Island Generating Plant, Unit 1 and 2. Our technical staff reviewed performance indicators (PIs) for the most recent quarter and inspection results for the period from July 1, 2008, through June 30, 2009. The purpose of this letter is to inform you of our assessment of your safety performance during this period and our plans for future inspections at your facility. This performance review and enclosed inspection plan do not include security information. A separate letter designated and marked as "Official Use Only--Security Information" will include the security cornerstone review and resultant inspection plan. Plant performance for the most recent quarter at Prairie Island Unit 1, was within the Regulatory Response column of the NRC
=s Action Matrix based on two inspection findings (one in the Mitigating Systems cornerstone and one in the Public Radiation Safety cornerstone) being classified as having low to moderate safety significance (White). The White finding in the Mitigating Systems cornerstone, from the fourth quarter of 2008, involved failure of the turbine driven auxiliary feedwater (TDAFW) pump to operate subsequent to a valid start signal. The other White inspection finding in the Public Radiation Safety cornerstone, from the first quarter of 2009, involved a radioactive material shipment from your facility that did not conform to the applicable Department of Transportation (DOT) regulatory requirements when it arrived at the shipping destination. Plant performance for Prairie Island Unit 2 for the most recent quarter was also within the Regulatory Response column of the NRC
=s Action Matrix based on one inspection finding in the Public Radiation Safety cornerstone being classified as having low to moderate safety significance (White) as discussed above. Although plant performance of Unit 2 NSP000039 M. Schimmel was within the Regulatory Response column, the significance of a preliminary White finding for inadequate design of the component cooling water system (IR 2009010) is still under review as part of the Significance Determination Process. This issue, when finalized, may change our assessment of your plant
=s safety performance. On July 13, we were notified by your staff of your readiness for the NRC to conduct a supplemental inspection to review the actions taken to address the White finding for the TDAFW pump issue. We began a supplemental inspection (95001) in response to this White finding on August 31, 2009. We also plan to conduct another supplemental inspection (95001) in response to the White finding in the Public Radiation Safety cornerstone. Please notify us of your readiness to conduct this supplemental inspection. These supplemental inspections are in addition to Reactor Oversight Process (ROP) baseline inspections at your facility. In addition, the staff has identified a substantive cross-cutting issue (SCCI) in the area of human performance (HP) with cross-cutting themes in the aspects of systematic process (H.1(a)), conservative assumptions (H.1(b)), procedural adequacy (H.2(c)), and procedural compliance (H.4(b)). During this assessment period, there were 25 findings documented with cross-cutting aspects in the HP area. Of these 25 findings, four shared a common cross-cutting aspect of systematic process, six findings with conservative assumptions, five findings with procedural adequacy, and four findings with procedural compliance. The SCCI will remain open until all cross-cutting themes have been cleared in the area of HP. To clear each theme, we will assess whether your corrective actions have resulted in a positive sustainable improvement in the area and will consider the number of findings in the theme. We are requesting to meet with you to discuss the adverse trend in human performance. A public meeting will accommodate this discussion at an agreed upon time and location. Please contact us within 30 days of receipt of this letter to discuss arrangements for this meeting. The enclosed inspection plan details the inspections, less those related to physical protection, scheduled through December 31, 2010. The inspection plan is provided to allow for the resolution of any scheduling conflicts and personnel availability issues well in advance of inspector arrival onsite. Routine resident inspections are not listed due to their ongoing and continuous nature. The inspections in the last 9 months of the inspection plan are tentative and may be revised at the End-of-Cycle review. In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 of the NRC
=s A Rules of Practice,@ a copy of this letter and its enclosure will be made 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).
M. Schimmel If circumstances arise which cause us to change the inspection plan, we will contact you to discuss the change as soon as possible. Please contact John (Jack) B. Giessner at 630-829-9619 with any questions you may have regarding this letter or the inspection plan.
