==Dear Mr. Shea:==


The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has completed its end
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has completed its end-of-cycle performance assessment of the Sequoyah Nuclear Plant Units 1 and 2, reviewing performance indicators (PIs), inspection results, and enforcement actions from January 1, 2017, through December 31, 2017. 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 concluded that overall performance at your facility preserved public health and safety.
-of-cycle performance assessment of the Sequoyah Nuclear Plant Units 1 and 2, reviewing performance indicators (PIs), inspection results, and enforcement actions from January 1, 2017, through       December 31, 2017.
The NRC determined the performance at Sequoyah Nuclear Plant, Units 1 and 2, during the most recent quarter, was within the Regulatory Response Column, the second highest performance column of the NRCs Reactor Oversight Process (ROP) Action Matrix. This conclusion was based on one greater-than-Green inspection finding in the Security cornerstone in the third quarter of 2017, and all PIs were within the expected range (i.e., Green).
This letter informs you of the NRC's assessment of your facility during this period and its plans for future inspections at your facility. The NRC concluded that overall performance at your facility preserved public health and safety.
Therefore, in addition to ROP baseline inspections, the NRC plans to conduct a supplemental inspection in accordance with Inspection Procedure 95001, Supplemental Inspection Response to Action Matrix Column 2 Inputs. The objectives of the supplemental inspection are: (1) to ensure the root and contributing causes, and extent of condition and extent of cause of significant performance issues are understood, (2) to ensure corrective actions taken to address and preclude repetition are prompt and effective, and (3) to ensure corrective action plans direct prompt actions to effectively address and preclude repetition of significant performance issues.

The enclosed inspection plan lists the inspections scheduled through December 31, 2019. The NRC provides the inspection plan to allow for the resolution of any scheduling conflicts and personnel availability issues. Routine inspections performed by resident inspectors are not included in the inspection plan. The inspections listed during the last 12 months of the inspection plan are tentative and may be revised. The NRC will contact you as soon as possible to discuss changes to the inspection plan should circumstances warrant any changes.

J. Shea                                           2 In addition to the ROP baseline inspections, we also plan on conducting infrequently performed inspections, which include Units 1 and 2 Post-Approval License Renewal Phase 1.
The enclosed inspection plan lists the inspections scheduled through December 31, 2019.
The International Atomic Energy Association completed an Operational Safety Review Team (OSART) at Sequoyah in 2017. The completion of that inspection entitles Sequoyah to a one-time credit to the baseline inspection of the ROP which will be made in accordance with MC 2515, Light-Water Reactor Inspection Program - Operations Phase, Section 2515-08.05, Baseline Inspection Credit for Operational Safety Review Team Effort. The details of that credit can be found in the Agency Document Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML18024A025.
The NRC provides the inspection plan to allow for the resolution of any scheduling conflicts and personnel availability issues.

UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION REGION II 245 PEACHTREE CENTER AVENUE NE, SUITE 1200 ATLANTA, GEORGIA 30303-1257 February 28, 2018 Mr. Joseph W. Shea Vice President, Nuclear Regulatory Affairs and Support Services Tennessee Valley Authority 1101 Market Street, LP 4A Chattanooga, TN 37402-2801

SUBJECT:

ANNUAL ASSESSMENT LETTER FOR SEQUOYAH NUCLEAR PLANT UNITS 1 AND 2 - REPORT 05000327/2017006 AND 05000328/2017006, REPORT 05000327/2017402 AND 05000328/2017402, AND 05000327/2017501 AND 05000328/2017501

Dear Mr. Shea:

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has completed its end-of-cycle performance assessment of the Sequoyah Nuclear Plant Units 1 and 2, reviewing performance indicators (PIs), inspection results, and enforcement actions from January 1, 2017, through December 31, 2017. 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 concluded that overall performance at your facility preserved public health and safety.

The NRC determined the performance at Sequoyah Nuclear Plant, Units 1 and 2, during the most recent quarter, was within the Regulatory Response Column, the second highest performance column of the NRCs Reactor Oversight Process (ROP) Action Matrix. This conclusion was based on one greater-than-Green inspection finding in the Security cornerstone in the third quarter of 2017, and all PIs were within the expected range (i.e., Green).

Therefore, in addition to ROP baseline inspections, the NRC plans to conduct a supplemental inspection in accordance with Inspection Procedure 95001, Supplemental Inspection Response to Action Matrix Column 2 Inputs. The objectives of the supplemental inspection are: (1) to ensure the root and contributing causes, and extent of condition and extent of cause of significant performance issues are understood, (2) to ensure corrective actions taken to address and preclude repetition are prompt and effective, and (3) to ensure corrective action plans direct prompt actions to effectively address and preclude repetition of significant performance issues.

This inspection will be scheduled after you notify the NRC of your readiness.

The enclosed inspection plan lists the inspections scheduled through December 31, 2019. The NRC provides the inspection plan to allow for the resolution of any scheduling conflicts and personnel availability issues. Routine inspections performed by resident inspectors are not included in the inspection plan. The inspections listed during the last 12 months of the inspection plan are tentative and may be revised. The NRC will contact you as soon as possible to discuss changes to the inspection plan should circumstances warrant any changes.

J. Shea 2 In addition to the ROP baseline inspections, we also plan on conducting infrequently performed inspections, which include Units 1 and 2 Post-Approval License Renewal Phase 1.

The International Atomic Energy Association completed an Operational Safety Review Team (OSART) at Sequoyah in 2017. The completion of that inspection entitles Sequoyah to a one-time credit to the baseline inspection of the ROP which will be made in accordance with MC 2515, Light-Water Reactor Inspection Program - Operations Phase, Section 2515-08.05, Baseline Inspection Credit for Operational Safety Review Team Effort. The details of that credit can be found in the Agency Document Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML18024A025.

This letter, its enclosure, and your response (if any) will be made available for public inspection and copying at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html and at the NRC Public Document Room in accordance with 10 CFR 2.390, Public Inspections, Exemptions, and Requests for Withholding.

Please contact Anthony Masters at (404) 997-4465 with any questions you may have regarding this letter.

Sincerely,

/RA/

Joel T. Munday, Director Division of Reactor Projects Docket Nos.: 50-327, 50-328 License Nos.: DPR-77, DPR-79
