==Dear Mr. Wells:==
The NRC determined that overall, Duane Arnold, Unit 1, operated in a manner that preserved public health and safety and met all cornerstone objectives. The NRC determined the performance at Duane Arnold, Unit 1, during the most recent quarter was within the Licensee Response Column of the NRCs Reactor Oversight Process (ROP) Action Matrix because all inspection findings had very low (i.e., green) safety significance, and all PIs indicated that your performance was within the nominal, expected range (i.e., green). Therefore, the NRC plans to conduct ROP baseline inspections at your facility.
