Plant performance for the most recent quarter at Fermi 2 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).

accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 | Additionally, the staff has identified a substantive cross-cutting issue in the area of problem identification and resolution (PI&R). There were ten inspection findings in the cross-cutting area of PI&R. Nine of these findings share a common cross-cutting aspect of ineffective evaluations within the corrective action program. These issues encompass the Mitigating Systems, Initiating Events, and Public Radiation Safety cornerstones and were all of very low safety significance. | ||
Although you have taken a number of steps to improve the corrective action program, several recent inspection findings were attributed to ineffective evaluation. For example, the repeated lack of controls over transient combustibles, the repetitive problems with drywell cooler gaskets, and ineffective evaluation regarding installation of scaffolding near safety-related equipment indicate that the scope of efforts and progress in addressing the cross-cutting area performance deficiencies remains a concern.

SUBJECT:
MID-CYCLE PERFORMANCE REVIEW AND INSPECTION PLAN -
FERMI POWER PLANT, UNIT 2
Dear Mr. Cobb,
On August 7, 2006, the NRC staff completed its performance review of Fermi 2 for the first half of the calendar year 2006 assessment cycle. Our technical staff reviewed performance indicators (PIs) for the most recent quarter and inspection results over the previous 12 months.
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 physical protection information. A separate letter designated and marked as Exempt from Public Disclosure in accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 will include the physical protection review and resultant inspection plan.
Plant performance for the most recent quarter at Fermi 2 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). Therefore, we plan to conduct reactor oversight process (ROP) baseline inspections at your facility.
Additionally, the staff has identified a substantive cross-cutting issue in the area of problem identification and resolution (PI&R). There were ten inspection findings in the cross-cutting area of PI&R. Nine of these findings share a common cross-cutting aspect of ineffective evaluations within the corrective action program. These issues encompass the Mitigating Systems, Initiating Events, and Public Radiation Safety cornerstones and were all of very low safety significance.
Although you have taken a number of steps to improve the corrective action program, several recent inspection findings were attributed to ineffective evaluation. For example, the repeated lack of controls over transient combustibles, the repetitive problems with drywell cooler gaskets, and ineffective evaluation regarding installation of scaffolding near safety-related equipment indicate that the scope of efforts and progress in addressing the cross-cutting area performance deficiencies remains a concern. This substantive cross-cutting issue will remain open until the number of findings with the same causal factor is reduced or when the NRC has more confidence in the performance of your corrective action program to
D. Cobb evaluate and correct problems. We will monitor your performance in the PI&R cross-cutting area through the baseline inspection program and evaluate the results in our review at the end-of-cycle for the calendar year 2006.
The enclosed inspection plan details the inspections, less those related to physical protection, scheduled through March 31, 2008. 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 9 months of the inspection plan are tentative and may be revised at the end-of-cycle review.
In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 of the NRCs Rules 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), accessible from the NRC Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html (the Public Electronic Reading Room).
If circumstances arise which cause us to change the inspection plan, we will contact you to discuss the change as soon as possible. Please contact me at 630/829-9619 with any questions you may have regarding this letter or the inspection plan.
Sincerely,
/RA/
