On August 13, 2013, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed its mid-cycle performance review of Nine Mile Point Nuclear Station Units 1 & 2 (NMPNS). 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 NRC's assessment of your facility during this period and its plans for future inspections at your facility. The NRC determined that overall, NMPNS operated in a manner that preserved public health and safety and met all cornerstone objectives. The NRC determined the performance at NMPNS Unit 1 during the most recent quarter was within the Regulatory Response Column of the NRC's Reactor Oversight Process (ROP) Action Matrix because all inspection findings had very low safety significance (Green), and one performance indicator of low to moderate safety significance (White) existed in the Initiating Events cornerstone. Specifically, the "Unplanned Scrams per 7,000 Critical Hours," performance indicator exceeded the Green/White threshold value from the fourth quarter of 2012 through the end of the assessment period. The NRC determined the performance at NMPNS Unit 2 during the most recent quarter was within the Licensee Response Column of the NRC's ROP Action Matrix because all inspection findings had very low safety significance (Green), and all performance indicators demonstrated that your performance was within the nominal, expected range (Green). | On August 13, 2013, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed its mid-cycle performance review of Nine Mile Point Nuclear Station Units 1 & 2 (NMPNS). | ||

SUBJECT: MID-CYCLE PERFORMANCE REVIEW AND INSPECTION PLAN - NINE MILE POINT NUCLEAR STATION UNITS 1 & 2 (REPORT 05000220/2013006 AND 05000410/2013006)
Dear Mr. Costanzo:
On August 13, 2013, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed its mid-cycle performance review of Nine Mile Point Nuclear Station Units 1 & 2 (NMPNS).
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 NRC's assessment of your facility during this period and its plans for future inspections at your facility.
The NRC determined that overall, NMPNS operated in a manner that preserved public health and safety and met all cornerstone objectives. The NRC determined the performance at NMPNS Unit 1 during the most recent quarter was within the Regulatory Response Column of the NRC's Reactor Oversight Process (ROP) Action Matrix because all inspection findings had very low safety significance (Green), and one performance indicator of low to moderate safety significance (White) existed in the Initiating Events cornerstone. Specifically, the "Unplanned Scrams per 7,000 Critical Hours," performance indicator exceeded the Green/White threshold value from the fourth quarter of 2012 through the end of the assessment period. The NRC determined the performance at NMPNS Unit 2 during the most recent quarter was within the Licensee Response Column of the NRC's ROP Action Matrix because all inspection findings had very low safety significance (Green), and all performance indicators demonstrated that your performance was within the nominal, expected range (Green).
Consistent with the graded approach in the NRC's ROP, this change in performance from the Licensee Response column to the Regulatory Response column at Unit 1 results in a corresponding increase in the NRC's inspection and assessment oversight. Therefore, in addition to ROP baseline inspections, t he NRC has scheduled and plans to conduct a supplemental inspection in accordance with Inspection Procedure 95001, "Supplemental Inspection for One or Two White Inputs in a Strategic Performance Area." On July 1, 2013, Mr. Mike Philippon of your staff informed the NRC of your readiness for this inspection, which will be conducted in November 2013. This inspection procedure is conducted to provide assurance that the root causes and contributing causes of risk significant performance issues are understood, the extent of condition and cause were identified, and the corrective actions are sufficient to prevent recurrence. 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.
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
. In addition to baseline inspections, the NRC will perform Inspection Procedure 60855.1, "Operation of an ISFSI at Operating Plants," and Temporary Instruction 2515/182, "Review of the Implementation of the Industry Initiative to Control Degradation of Underground Piping and Tanks- Phase II." 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 possibl e 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 Section 2.390 of the NRC's "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 Managem ent System (ADAMS).
