On August 15, 2013, the NRC completed its mid
On August 15, 2013, the NRC completed its mid-cycle performance review of the Sequoyah Nuclear Plant 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, 2012, through June 30, 2013. This letter informs you of the NRCs assessment of your facility during this period and its plans for future inspections at your facility.
-cycle performance review of the Sequoyah Nuclear Plant Units 1 and 2.
The NRC determined that the performance at Sequoyah Nuclear Plant Units 1 and 2 during the most recent quarter was within the Degraded Cornerstone Column of the NRCs Reactor Oversight Process (ROP) Action Matrix beginning in the first quarter 2013 because of the two White findings in the Mitigating Systems Cornerstone documented in NRC Inspection Report 05000327, 328/2013011 (ADAMS Accession Number ML13155A560).
The NRC reviewed the most recent quarterly performance indicators (PIs) in addition to inspection results and enforcement actions from July 1, 2012 , through June 30, 2013. This letter informs you of the NRC's assessment of your facility during this period and its plans for future inspections at your facility.
Since the last performance assessment follow-up, Sequoyah Nuclear Plant Units 1 and 2 received one or more greater-than-green Security Cornerstone inputs. The additional input(s) did not change the current assessment of performance because Units 1 and 2 were assessed to be in the Degraded Cornerstone Column of the Reactor Oversight Process Action Matrix beginning in the first quarter 2013.
Because Units 1 and 2 were assessed in the Degraded Cornerstone column of the NRCs Action Matrix, additional regulatory oversight actions will be implemented at your facility.
Therefore, in addition to ROP baseline inspections, the NRC will conduct supplemental inspections in accordance with Inspection Procedure 95001, Supplemental Inspection for One or Two White Inputs in a Strategic Performance Area for the Security Cornerstone input(s) and Inspection Procedure 95002, Supplemental Inspection for One Degraded Cornerstone or Any Three White Inputs in a Strategic Performance Area for the Mitigating Systems Cornerstone inputs. These inspections will be performed when you have notified us of your readiness for the NRC to review the actions taken to address the performance issues.
The enclosed inspection plan lists the inspections scheduled through December 31, 2014.
Routine inspections performed by resident inspectors are not included in the inspection plan.

UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION REGION II 245 PEACHTREE CENTER AVENUE NE, SUITE 1200 ATLANTA, GEORGIA 30303-1257 September 3, 2013 Mr. Joseph W. Shea Vice President, Nuclear Licensing Tennessee Valley Authority 1101 Market Street, LP 3D-C Chattanooga, TN 37402-2801

SUBJECT:

MID-CYCLE ASSESSMENT LETTER FOR THE SEQUOYAH NUCLEAR PLANT UNITS 1 AND 2 (NRC INSPECTION REPORTS 05000327/2013006 and 05000328/2013006)

Dear Mr. Shea:

On August 15, 2013, the NRC completed its mid-cycle performance review of the Sequoyah Nuclear Plant 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, 2012, through June 30, 2013. 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 that the performance at Sequoyah Nuclear Plant Units 1 and 2 during the most recent quarter was within the Degraded Cornerstone Column of the NRCs Reactor Oversight Process (ROP) Action Matrix beginning in the first quarter 2013 because of the two White findings in the Mitigating Systems Cornerstone documented in NRC Inspection Report 05000327, 328/2013011 (ADAMS Accession Number ML13155A560).

Since the last performance assessment follow-up, Sequoyah Nuclear Plant Units 1 and 2 received one or more greater-than-green Security Cornerstone inputs. The additional input(s) did not change the current assessment of performance because Units 1 and 2 were assessed to be in the Degraded Cornerstone Column of the Reactor Oversight Process Action Matrix beginning in the first quarter 2013.

Because Units 1 and 2 were assessed in the Degraded Cornerstone column of the NRCs Action Matrix, additional regulatory oversight actions will be implemented at your facility.

Therefore, in addition to ROP baseline inspections, the NRC will conduct supplemental inspections in accordance with Inspection Procedure 95001, Supplemental Inspection for One or Two White Inputs in a Strategic Performance Area for the Security Cornerstone input(s) and Inspection Procedure 95002, Supplemental Inspection for One Degraded Cornerstone or Any Three White Inputs in a Strategic Performance Area for the Mitigating Systems Cornerstone inputs. These inspections will be performed when you have notified us of your readiness for the NRC to review the actions taken to address the performance issues.

The enclosed inspection plan lists the inspections scheduled through December 31, 2014.

Routine inspections performed by resident inspectors are not included in the inspection plan.

J. Shea 2 The inspections listed during the last nine months 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 addition to the ROP baseline inspections at your facility, we also plan on conducting temporary instructions and infrequently performed inspections which include: IP 92702, Follow up On Traditional Enforcement Actions Including Violations, Deviations, Confirmatory Action Letters, Confirmatory Orders, And Alternative Dispute Resolution Confirmatory Orders; and TI 2515/182, Review of the Implementation of the Industry Initiative to Control Degradation of Underground Piping and Tanks.

In accordance with 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 Scott Shaeffer at 404-997-4521 with any questions you have regarding this letter.

Sincerely,

/RA/
