SUBJECT:        MID-CYCLE PERFORMANCE REVIEW AND INSPECTION PLAN -
                SEABROOK STATION, UNIT NO. 1 (REPORT 05000443/2013006)
Dear Mr. Walsh:
On August 14, 2013, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed its mid-cycle
performance review of Seabrook Station, Unit No. 1 (Seabrook). The NRC reviewed the most
recent quarterly performance indicators 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 the performance at Seabrook during the most recent quarter was within
the Licensee Response Column of the NRC's Reactor Oversight Process (ROP) Action Matrix
because all inspection findings had very low (i.e., green) safety significance, and all Pls
indicated that your performance was within the nominal, expected range (i.e., green). On
January 24, 2013, the NRC completed a supplemental inspection for a White finding that
involved the failure of Seabrook Station personnel to adequately critique the performance of an
evaluated emergency preparedness exercise and determined that Seabrook appropriately
addressed the root and contributing causes, extent of condition and corrective actions. The
White finding was removed from the assessment process resulting in Seabrook transitioning
from the Regulatory Response Column to the Licensee Response Column of the NRC's Action
Matrix. Therefore, the NRC plans to conduct ROP baseline inspections at your facility.
The NRC acknowledged your satisfactory completion of all of the commitments in Confirmatory
Action Letter (CAL) 1-12-002, regarding the Alkali-Silica Reaction (ASR) concrete issues in
NRC Inspection Report 05000443/2012009 (ML12338A283) dated December 3, 2012, and
NRC Inspection Report 05000443/2012010 (ML13221A172) dated August 9, 2013. Based on
completion of our review of your CAL commitments and the determination that NextEra's
methods for assessing operability of ASR-affected reinforced concrete structures were
reasonable and generally comprehensive, the NRC has determined that the exit criteria
contained in the September 5, 2012, Deviation Memorandum (ML12242A370) regarding
Seabrook ASR evaluation activities, have been met and our overall level of inspection oversight
will return to those described in the ROP baseline inspection program.
 
K. Walsh                                          2
While our review of the CAL items is complete, the NRC plans to continue to provide focused
oversight of NextEras testing being conducted at the Ferguson Structural Engineering
Laboratory at the University of Texas - Austin and your assessment of ASR progression in
Seabrook concrete structures. Our inspection activities will be conducted using our annual
follow-up of selected Problem Identification and Resolution samples. While tentative dates for
these inspections are included in the attached inspection schedule, we understand that your
testing schedule is subject to change and we will coordinate closely with your ASR project
management staff to select the most advantageous opportunities to observe your activities.
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. In
addition to baseline inspections, the NRC will perform Temporary Instruction 2515/182, Review
of the Implementation of the Industry Initiative to Control Degradation of Underground Piping
and Tanks and Inspection Procedure (IP) 60855.1, Operation of an Independent Spent Fuel
Storage Installation at Operating Plants. 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 accordance with Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) Section 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 the NRC's Agencywide Documents Access and Management system (ADAMS).

SUBJECT: MID-CYCLE PERFORMANCE REVIEW AND INSPECTION PLAN -

SEABROOK STATION, UNIT NO. 1 (REPORT 05000443/2013006)

Dear Mr. Walsh:

On August 14, 2013, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed its mid-cycle

performance review of Seabrook Station, Unit No. 1 (Seabrook). The NRC reviewed the most

recent quarterly performance indicators 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 the performance at Seabrook during the most recent quarter was within

the Licensee Response Column of the NRC's Reactor Oversight Process (ROP) Action Matrix

because all inspection findings had very low (i.e., green) safety significance, and all Pls

indicated that your performance was within the nominal, expected range (i.e., green). On

January 24, 2013, the NRC completed a supplemental inspection for a White finding that

involved the failure of Seabrook Station personnel to adequately critique the performance of an

evaluated emergency preparedness exercise and determined that Seabrook appropriately

addressed the root and contributing causes, extent of condition and corrective actions. The

White finding was removed from the assessment process resulting in Seabrook transitioning

from the Regulatory Response Column to the Licensee Response Column of the NRC's Action

Matrix. Therefore, the NRC plans to conduct ROP baseline inspections at your facility.

The NRC acknowledged your satisfactory completion of all of the commitments in Confirmatory

Action Letter (CAL) 1-12-002, regarding the Alkali-Silica Reaction (ASR) concrete issues in

NRC Inspection Report 05000443/2012009 (ML12338A283) dated December 3, 2012, and

NRC Inspection Report 05000443/2012010 (ML13221A172) dated August 9, 2013. Based on

completion of our review of your CAL commitments and the determination that NextEra's

methods for assessing operability of ASR-affected reinforced concrete structures were

reasonable and generally comprehensive, the NRC has determined that the exit criteria

contained in the September 5, 2012, Deviation Memorandum (ML12242A370) regarding

Seabrook ASR evaluation activities, have been met and our overall level of inspection oversight

will return to those described in the ROP baseline inspection program.

K. Walsh 2

While our review of the CAL items is complete, the NRC plans to continue to provide focused

oversight of NextEras testing being conducted at the Ferguson Structural Engineering

Laboratory at the University of Texas - Austin and your assessment of ASR progression in

Seabrook concrete structures. Our inspection activities will be conducted using our annual

follow-up of selected Problem Identification and Resolution samples. While tentative dates for

these inspections are included in the attached inspection schedule, we understand that your

testing schedule is subject to change and we will coordinate closely with your ASR project

management staff to select the most advantageous opportunities to observe your activities.

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. In

addition to baseline inspections, the NRC will perform Temporary Instruction 2515/182, Review

of the Implementation of the Industry Initiative to Control Degradation of Underground Piping

and Tanks and Inspection Procedure (IP) 60855.1, Operation of an Independent Spent Fuel

Storage Installation at Operating Plants. 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 accordance with Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) Section 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 the NRC's Agencywide Documents Access and Management system (ADAMS).
