ERRATA FOR MID-CYCLE ASSESSMENT LETTER FOR ARKANSAS NUCLEAR ONE, UNITS 1 AND 2 (REPORT 05000313/2016005 AND 05000368/2016005) | |||
==Dear Mr. Warren:== | |||
- | It was identified that the enclosed inspection plan in a letter to you dated August 31, 2016 (ML16237A412) was improperly marked. The inspection plan contained the markings of Official Use Only - Sensitive Internal Information/Security-Related Information, however, the inspection plan did not contain information under that category. The inspection plan that was originally placed into ADAMS has been corrected by striking through the markings. The original Mid-Cycle Assessment Letter and the corrected inspection plan are enclosed. Please note that neither the content of the assessment letter, nor the inspection plan has changed. | ||
In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 of the NRC's "Rules of Practice," a copy of this letter, its enclosure, and your response (if any) will be available electronically for public inspection in the NRC Public Document Room or from the Publicly Available Records (PARS) component of NRC's Agency wide Document Access and Management System (ADAMS). ADAMS is accessible from the NRC Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html (the Public Electronic Reading Room). | |||

On March 4, 2015, ANO Units 1 and 2 transitioned to the Multiple/Repetitive Degraded Cornerstone Column (Column 4) of the ROP Action Matrix as a result of having one Yellow finding in each unit involving the failure to adequately approve the design and to load test a temporary lift assembly, and one Yellow finding in each unit involving the failure to design, construct, and maintain plant design features required to protect safety-related equipment from the effects of flooding. | ||

On June 9, 2016, the NRC completed a supplemental inspection and independent review of the causes for declining safety performance at ANO, as well as corrective actions taken and planned to sustain improvement efforts | On June 9, 2016, the NRC completed a supplemental inspection and independent review of the causes for declining safety performance at ANO, as well as corrective actions taken and planned to sustain improvement efforts. The NRC inspection team determined that ANO, Units 1 and 2 are being operated safely and Entergy Operations, Inc. (EOI) understands the depth and breadth of performance concerns associated with ANOs performance decline. The NRC team concluded that effective implementation of the licensees Comprehensive Recovery Plan (CRP), supported by the allocation of adequate resources and continued enhanced oversight by EOI leadership, should lead to substantial and sustained performance improvement. The NRC team identified missed opportunities for ANO to have promptly initiated performance improvements since being placed in Column 4. The NRC team also concluded that your evaluations and corrective actions for three unplanned, Unit 2 scrams that contributed to a White Unplanned Scrams per 7000 Critical Hours PI, were satisfactory. Based on the Enclosure 2 results of this inspection, the White PI was closed. The results of the inspection were documented in NRC Inspection Report 05000313/2016007 and 05000368/2016007 (ML16161B279). | ||

In a letter dated May 17, 2016, ANO Comprehensive Recovery Plan (ML16139A059), EOI notified the NRC staff of its plan to perform specific actions to resolve the causes for declining performance at ANO. On June 17, 2016, the NRC issued a Confirmatory Action Letter (ML16169A193) which confirmed EOI commitments to take specific actions included in the ANO Comprehensive Recovery Plan. The Confirmatory Action Letter groups these actions in six categories: | |||

In response to the accident at Fukushima, the Commission issued Order EA | In response to the accident at Fukushima, the Commission issued Order EA-12-049, Order Modifying Licenses with Regard to Requirements for Mitigation Strategies for Beyond-Design-Basis External Events, and Order EA-12-051, Order Modifying Licenses with Regard to Reliable Spent Fuel Pool Instrumentation. The NRC conducted audits of licensee efforts towards compliance with these Orders, and the information gathered will aid staff in development of the ultimate Safety Evaluation for the site. After the NRC staff receives the Final Compliance letter for the site, the Safety Evaluation will be issued. Then, the NRC staff will confirm through inspections the full implementation of the orders mentioned above by performing Temporary Instruction 191, Inspection of the Implementation of Mitigation Strategies and Spent Fuel Pool Instrumentation Orders and Emergency Preparedness Communication/Staffing/Multi-Unit Dose Assessment Plans. In Staff Requirements Memorandum - SECY 16-0009, Recommendations Resulting from the Integrated Prioritization and Re-Baselining of Agency Activities, the Commission approved the NRC staff recommendation to discontinue the formal mid-cycle assessment process beginning in calendar year 2017. This will be the final mid-cycle assessment letter. The staff will continue to conduct quarterly assessment meetings and communicate changes in the assessment of licensee performance in accordance with the guidance in Inspection Manual Chapter 0305, Operating Reactor Assessment Program. | ||

Dear Mr. Warren:
It was identified that the enclosed inspection plan in a letter to you dated August 31, 2016 (ML16237A412) was improperly marked. The inspection plan contained the markings of Official Use Only - Sensitive Internal Information/Security-Related Information, however, the inspection plan did not contain information under that category. The inspection plan that was originally placed into ADAMS has been corrected by striking through the markings. The original Mid-Cycle Assessment Letter and the corrected inspection plan are enclosed. Please note that neither the content of the assessment letter, nor the inspection plan has changed.
In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 of the NRC's "Rules of Practice," a copy of this letter, its enclosure, and your response (if any) will be available electronically for public inspection in the NRC Public Document Room or from the Publicly Available Records (PARS) component of NRC's Agency wide Document Access and Management System (ADAMS). ADAMS is accessible from the NRC Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html (the Public Electronic Reading Room).
Sincerely,
/RA/

UNITED STATES ust 31, 2016
SUBJECT:
MID-CYCLE ASSESSMENT LETTER FOR ARKANSAS NUCLEAR ONE, UNITS 1 AND 2 (REPORT 05000313/2016005 AND 05000368/2016005)
Dear Mr. Warren:
On August 11, 2016, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed its mid-cycle performance review of Arkansas Nuclear One (ANO), Units 1 and 2. The NRC reviewed the most recent quarterly performance indicators (PIs) in addition to inspection results and enforcement actions from July 1, 2015, through June 30, 2016. 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 determined the performance at ANO, Units 1 and 2 during the most recent quarter remained within the Multiple/Repetitive Degraded Cornerstone Column of the NRCs Reactor Oversight Process (ROP) Action Matrix. On March 4, 2015, ANO Units 1 and 2 transitioned to the Multiple/Repetitive Degraded Cornerstone Column (Column 4) of the ROP Action Matrix as a result of having one Yellow finding in each unit involving the failure to adequately approve the design and to load test a temporary lift assembly, and one Yellow finding in each unit involving the failure to design, construct, and maintain plant design features required to protect safety-related equipment from the effects of flooding.
On June 9, 2016, the NRC completed a supplemental inspection and independent review of the causes for declining safety performance at ANO, as well as corrective actions taken and planned to sustain improvement efforts. The NRC inspection team determined that ANO, Units 1 and 2 are being operated safely and Entergy Operations, Inc. (EOI) understands the depth and breadth of performance concerns associated with ANOs performance decline. The NRC team concluded that effective implementation of the licensees Comprehensive Recovery Plan (CRP), supported by the allocation of adequate resources and continued enhanced oversight by EOI leadership, should lead to substantial and sustained performance improvement. The NRC team identified missed opportunities for ANO to have promptly initiated performance improvements since being placed in Column 4. The NRC team also concluded that your evaluations and corrective actions for three unplanned, Unit 2 scrams that contributed to a White Unplanned Scrams per 7000 Critical Hours PI, were satisfactory. Based on the Enclosure 2 results of this inspection, the White PI was closed. The results of the inspection were documented in NRC Inspection Report 05000313/2016007 and 05000368/2016007 (ML16161B279).
In a letter dated May 17, 2016, ANO Comprehensive Recovery Plan (ML16139A059), EOI notified the NRC staff of its plan to perform specific actions to resolve the causes for declining performance at ANO. On June 17, 2016, the NRC issued a Confirmatory Action Letter (ML16169A193) which confirmed EOI commitments to take specific actions included in the ANO Comprehensive Recovery Plan. The Confirmatory Action Letter groups these actions in six categories:
- Significant performance deficiencies (i.e., actions to address the two Yellow findings)
- Identification, assessment and correction of performance deficiencies
- Human performance
- Equipment reliability and engineering programs
- Safety culture
- Service water self-assessment The NRC plans to conduct quarterly inspections to review your progress toward completing the ANO Comprehensive Recovery Plan actions that are identified in the Confirmatory Action Letter.
The NRC will use Inspection Procedure 92702, Follow-up on Traditional Enforcement Actions Including Violations, Deviations, Confirmatory Action Letters, Confirmatory Orders, and Alternative Dispute Resolution Confirmatory Orders, to assess your effectiveness in completing corrective actions. The results of these inspections will provide information for future performance assessments of ANO in accordance with NRC Inspection Manual Chapter 0305, Operating Reactor Assessment Program.
The enclosed inspection plan lists the inspections scheduled through June 30, 2018. Routine inspections performed by resident inspectors are not included in the inspection plan. The inspections listed during the second half of the inspection plan are tentative and may be revised at the end-of-cycle performance review. The NRC provides the inspection plan to allow for the resolution of any scheduling conflicts and personnel availability issues. The NRC will contact you as soon as possible to discuss changes to the inspection plan should circumstances warrant any changes. This inspection plan does not include security related inspections, which will be sent via separate, non-publicly available correspondence.
In response to the accident at Fukushima, the Commission issued Order EA-12-049, Order Modifying Licenses with Regard to Requirements for Mitigation Strategies for Beyond-Design-Basis External Events, and Order EA-12-051, Order Modifying Licenses with Regard to Reliable Spent Fuel Pool Instrumentation. The NRC conducted audits of licensee efforts towards compliance with these Orders, and the information gathered will aid staff in development of the ultimate Safety Evaluation for the site. After the NRC staff receives the Final Compliance letter for the site, the Safety Evaluation will be issued. Then, the NRC staff will confirm through inspections the full implementation of the orders mentioned above by performing Temporary Instruction 191, Inspection of the Implementation of Mitigation Strategies and Spent Fuel Pool Instrumentation Orders and Emergency Preparedness Communication/Staffing/Multi-Unit Dose Assessment Plans. In Staff Requirements Memorandum - SECY 16-0009, Recommendations Resulting from the Integrated Prioritization and Re-Baselining of Agency Activities, the Commission approved the NRC staff recommendation to discontinue the formal mid-cycle assessment process beginning in calendar year 2017. This will be the final mid-cycle assessment letter. The staff will continue to conduct quarterly assessment meetings and communicate changes in the assessment of licensee performance in accordance with the guidance in Inspection Manual Chapter 0305, Operating Reactor Assessment Program.
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 NRCs Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS). ADAMS is accessible from the NRC Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html (the Public Electronic Reading Room).
