SUBJECT: ANNUAL ASSESSMENT LETTER - TURKEY POINT NUCLEAR PLANT | |||
(NRC INSPECTION REPORT 05000250/2008001 AND 05000251/2008001) | |||
Dear Mr. Stall: | |||
On February 7, 2008, the NRC staff completed its performance review of the Turkey Point | |||
Nuclear Plant. Our technical staff reviewed performance indicators (PIs) for the most recent | |||
quarter and inspection results for the period from January 1 through December 31, 2007. 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, Turkey Point Units 3 and 4 operated in a manner that preserved public health and | |||
safety and fully met all cornerstone objectives. Plant performance for Turkey Point Unit 3 was | |||
within the Licensee Response Column of the NRC Action Matrix for the last two quarters of CY | |||
2007 and within the Regulatory Response Column for the first two quarters of CY 2007, | |||
because of a single White inspection finding in the Initiating Events cornerstone, originally | |||
identified during the third quarter of 2006. This White finding was associated with a loss of | |||
decay heat removal capability during a period of reduced reactor coolant inventory which | |||
reflected performance at a level requiring increased regulatory response. Therefore, in addition | |||
to the reactor oversight process baseline inspection program, a Supplemental Inspection using | |||
Inspection Procedure (IP) 95001, Inspection for One or Two White Inputs In a Strategic | |||
Performance Area, was conducted during the week of April 9, 2007, and no findings of | |||
significance were identified. | |||
FP&L 2 | |||
Plant performance for Turkey Point Unit 4 for the most recent quarter as well as the previous | |||
three quarters was within the Licensee Response Column of the NRCs 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). | |||
Additionally, in our mid-cycle assessment letter dated August 31, 2007, we advised you of the | |||
continuation of a substantive cross-cutting issue in the problem identification and resolution area | |||
involving weaknesses in the thorough evaluation of identified problems (P.1.c). The end-of- | |||
FP&L 2 | |||
three quarters was within the Licensee Response Column of the | |||

and the planned conversion of your work processes to the Passport System in 2009. These | |||
new initiatives were recognized as positive moves to address the identified weaknesses. | |||
The inspection team also documented five examples where important corrective actions to | |||
prevent recurrence (CAPRs) had not been fully implemented to address weaknesses | |||
associated with CR 2006-25531, which addressed the substantive cross-cutting issue identified | |||
in 2006. These corrective actions had not been completed, partly due to the large number of | |||
changes made to the CAP improvement plan and the Turkey Point Road to Excellence Plan | |||
which appeared to place more emphasis on CAP backlog reduction and not the corrective | |||
actions to address the PI&R substantive cross-cutting issue from 2006. | |||
In one instance, the team identified that required periodic reviews of trend reports by the newly | |||
established condition report oversight group (CROG) had not been performed during 2nd and 3rd | |||
quarter 2007, resulting in a missed opportunity for the CROG to identify that certain department | |||
level performance monitoring groups (Corrective Action Review Boards - CARBs) had failed to | |||
submit completed trend reports because of competing priorities and other routine job activities | |||
(especially, the impact of a 3rd quarter refueling outage). | |||
In a second instance, it was noted that considerable turnover within the initial group of corrective | |||
action program coordinators (CAPCOs). Only thirteen of the initial twenty-three CAPCOs | |||
remained. CAPCOs are assigned to effectively monitor the CAP expectations for the | |||
departments and carry out specific duties aimed at reducing the backlog of work orders and | |||
condition reports. The inspectors noted multiple examples where selected CAPCOs had not | |||
completed formal training qualifications and, in other cases, the CROG had not completed a | |||
timely review and approval process for several recently qualified CAPCOs that were actively | |||
attending and participating in meetings and perform certain condition report evaluations. While | |||
most of these CAPCOS had numerous years of nuclear industry experience, most had little | |||

The NRC will also conduct additional onsite reviews within the upcoming assessment period to | |||
continue to evaluate the overall effectiveness of the newly implemented programs. These | |||
evaluations will be conducted mainly during planned inspections scheduled for March and June | |||
2008. | |||
The enclosed inspection plan details the inspections, less those related to physical protection | |||
scheduled through September 30, 2009. In addition to the ROP baseline inspections, we plan | |||
to conduct several non-ROP inspections which include TI 2515/171, Verification of Site Specific | |||
(B.5.b) Phase 2 and 3 Mitigation Strategies*- and TI 2515/172, Reactor Coolant System | |||
Dissimilar Metal. | |||
The inspection 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 ARules of Practice,@ a copy of this letter and its | |||

SUBJECT: ANNUAL ASSESSMENT LETTER - TURKEY POINT NUCLEAR PLANT
(NRC INSPECTION REPORT 05000250/2008001 AND 05000251/2008001)
Dear Mr. Stall:
On February 7, 2008, the NRC staff completed its performance review of the Turkey Point
Nuclear Plant. Our technical staff reviewed performance indicators (PIs) for the most recent
quarter and inspection results for the period from January 1 through December 31, 2007. 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, Turkey Point Units 3 and 4 operated in a manner that preserved public health and
safety and fully met all cornerstone objectives. Plant performance for Turkey Point Unit 3 was
within the Licensee Response Column of the NRC Action Matrix for the last two quarters of CY
2007 and within the Regulatory Response Column for the first two quarters of CY 2007,
because of a single White inspection finding in the Initiating Events cornerstone, originally
identified during the third quarter of 2006. This White finding was associated with a loss of
decay heat removal capability during a period of reduced reactor coolant inventory which
reflected performance at a level requiring increased regulatory response. Therefore, in addition
to the reactor oversight process baseline inspection program, a Supplemental Inspection using
Inspection Procedure (IP) 95001, Inspection for One or Two White Inputs In a Strategic
Performance Area, was conducted during the week of April 9, 2007, and no findings of
significance were identified.
FP&L 2
Plant performance for Turkey Point Unit 4 for the most recent quarter as well as the previous
three quarters was within the Licensee Response Column of the NRCs 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).
Additionally, in our mid-cycle assessment letter dated August 31, 2007, we advised you of the
continuation of a substantive cross-cutting issue in the problem identification and resolution area
involving weaknesses in the thorough evaluation of identified problems (P.1.c). The end-of-
cycle assessment of this cross-cutting issue included a review of inspection results over the 12-
month period from January 1 through December 31, 2007.
During this period, the inspectors reviewed licensee improvement initiatives and noted some
improvements. A focused inspection to evaluate the effectiveness of your corrective action
program (CAP) improvement initiatives was completed on December 17, 2007. There were no
new inspection findings identified during this review. The inspection team noted that you had
recently implemented a pilot process, in November 2007, to aid in reducing the backlog and
improving the timeliness and quality of condition reports (CR). The team also found that you
had completed your analysis of the most recent safety conscious work environment (SCWE)
and site culture surveys, had identified areas needing improvement, and had scoped and
planned actions to address these identified issues. The team also highlighted key planned
activities such as the addition of a new CAP improvement management team in January 2008
and the planned conversion of your work processes to the Passport System in 2009. These
new initiatives were recognized as positive moves to address the identified weaknesses.
The inspection team also documented five examples where important corrective actions to
prevent recurrence (CAPRs) had not been fully implemented to address weaknesses
associated with CR 2006-25531, which addressed the substantive cross-cutting issue identified
in 2006. These corrective actions had not been completed, partly due to the large number of
changes made to the CAP improvement plan and the Turkey Point Road to Excellence Plan
which appeared to place more emphasis on CAP backlog reduction and not the corrective
actions to address the PI&R substantive cross-cutting issue from 2006.
In one instance, the team identified that required periodic reviews of trend reports by the newly
established condition report oversight group (CROG) had not been performed during 2nd and 3rd
quarter 2007, resulting in a missed opportunity for the CROG to identify that certain department
level performance monitoring groups (Corrective Action Review Boards - CARBs) had failed to
submit completed trend reports because of competing priorities and other routine job activities
(especially, the impact of a 3rd quarter refueling outage).
In a second instance, it was noted that considerable turnover within the initial group of corrective
action program coordinators (CAPCOs). Only thirteen of the initial twenty-three CAPCOs
remained. CAPCOs are assigned to effectively monitor the CAP expectations for the
departments and carry out specific duties aimed at reducing the backlog of work orders and
condition reports. The inspectors noted multiple examples where selected CAPCOs had not
completed formal training qualifications and, in other cases, the CROG had not completed a
timely review and approval process for several recently qualified CAPCOs that were actively
attending and participating in meetings and perform certain condition report evaluations. While
most of these CAPCOS had numerous years of nuclear industry experience, most had little
FP&L 3
familiarity with Turkey Point plant specific operation or knowledge of its programs and operating
history before being assigned.
The NRC has also identified more than three Green inspection findings with documented cross-
cutting aspects in problem identification and resolution and an increasing trend in the cross-
cutting theme of appropriate and timely corrective action (P.1.d). This increasing trend indicates
that the underlying weaknesses within the PI&R cross-cutting area may not yet have been
addressed or fully understood to assure consistent and sustainable future performance. Based
on these observations, the staff noted that sustained licensee progress will require continued
strong management involvement given the number of findings in the problem identification and
resolution area. Therefore, this cross-cutting issue will remain open.
Since this is the fourth consecutive assessment letter identifying the same substantive cross-
cutting issue, the NRC would normally request that you conduct a safety culture assessment.
However, we are aware that a safety culture survey was already completed at Turkey Point
during this assessment period. Therefore, we request that you conduct an independent
assessment of the effectiveness of your implementation of key CAPRs and the causes behind
the failure to complete required training for key individuals assigned responsibility to assess and
recommend actions to resolve backlogged, longstanding issues at Turkey Point. This
independent assessment should be conducted by individuals that are not associated with the
CAP at Turkey Point Nuclear Station or the FP&L corporate office. We also request that you
provide the regional office with a schedule for completion of this evaluation, so that we may plan
and schedule a follow-up visit to evaluate the scope and results of your review.
The NRC will also conduct additional onsite reviews within the upcoming assessment period to
continue to evaluate the overall effectiveness of the newly implemented programs. These
evaluations will be conducted mainly during planned inspections scheduled for March and June
2008.
The enclosed inspection plan details the inspections, less those related to physical protection
scheduled through September 30, 2009. In addition to the ROP baseline inspections, we plan
to conduct several non-ROP inspections which include TI 2515/171, Verification of Site Specific
(B.5.b) Phase 2 and 3 Mitigation Strategies*- and TI 2515/172, Reactor Coolant System
Dissimilar Metal.
The inspection 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 ARules 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).
