UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION REGION I 475 ALLENDALE ROAD KING OF PRUSSIA, PENNSYLVANIA 19406-1415 March 3. 2010 Mr. Thomas Joyce President and Chief Nuclear Officer PSEG Nuclear LLC - N09 P. O. Box 236 Hancocks Bridge, NJ 08038
SUBJECT:
ANNUAL ASSESSMENT LETTER - SALEM NUCLEAR GENERATING STATION.
UNITS 1 AND 2 (05000272/2010001 AND 0500031112010001)
Dear Mr. Joyce:
On February 9,2010. the NRC staff completed its performance review of Salem Nuclear Generating Station (Salem), Unit Nos. 1 and 2. Our technical staff reviewed performance indicators (Pis) for the most recent quarter and inspection results for the period from January 1 through December 31, 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 .
. Overall. Salem Unit Nos. 1 and 2 operated in a manner that preserved public health and safety
. apd fully met all cornerstone objectives. Plant performance for the most recent quarter, as well as for the first three quarters of the assessment cycle, was within the Licensee Response column of the NRC's Action Matrix, based on all inspection findings being classified as having very low safety significance (Green) and all Pis indicating performance at a level requiring no additional NRC oversight (Green). Therefore, we plan to conduct reactor oversight process (ROP) baseline inspections at your facility.
In our Annual Assessment Letter, dated March 4.2009 (ML090620756)1, we advised you of a substantive cross-cutting issue in the area of human performance with a cross-cutting aspect of documentation and procedure adequacy {H.2(C>>)2. We defined the exit criteria for clearing the substantive cross-cutting issue as demonstrated sustainable improved performance evidenced by effective implementation of a corrective action plan that resulted in no safety Significant inspection findings and a notable reduction in the overall number of inspection findings with the same causal factor. In our mid-cycle assessment letter, dated September 1, 2009 (ML09244030)1, we concluded that you had not met these criteria. Specifically. we determined that many of the corrective actions that resulted from your cause analyses were not completed at the time of our review. As such, at that time, we maintained this substantive cross-cutting issue open.
1 Designation in parenthesis refers to an ADAMS accession number. Documents referenced in this fetter are publicly available using the accession number in ADAMS.
2 This is a descriptor that correlates to this cross-cutting aspect in Inspection Manual Chapter 0310, "Components within the cross-cutting areas.n
T.Joyce 2 During this assessment period, we have determined that you have made substantial progress in implementation of an appropriate corrective action plan to address the substantive cross-cutting issue in documentation and procedure adequacy. In 2009 all inspection findings identified at Salem were Green, and there were two findings with a documentation and procedure adequacy cross-cutting aspect. As such we considered it a siignificant reduction when compared to the seven findings identified with this cross-cutting aspect in 2008. Therefore, based on the exit criteria, we have concluded that PSEG has demonstrated sustainable improved performance in this cross-cutting aspect, and we have closed this substantive cross-cutting issue.
The enclosed inspection plan details the inspections, less those related to physical protection scheduled through June 30, 2011. In addition to the baseline inspections, we plan to conduct inspections related to license renewal and pre-operational testing and operation of an independent spent fuel storage facility. The inspec:tion 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 nine months of the inspection plan are tentative and may be revised at the mid-cycle review.
In accordance with 10 CFR 2,390 of the NRC's "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).
If circumstances arise which cause us to change this inspection plan, we will contact you to discuss the change as soon as possible. Please contact me at 610-337-5069 with any questions you may have regarding this letter or the inspection plan.
