| SUBJECT: ANNUAL ASSESSMENT LETTER - MCGUIRE NUCLEAR STATION (NRC INSPECTION REPORT 05000369/2008001 AND 05000370/2008001)
| |
| | |
| ==Dear Mr. Hamilton:==
| |
| On February 5, 2008, the NRC staff completed its performance review of the McGuire Nuclear
| |
| | |
| Station. 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-Related Information" will include the security cornerstone review and resultant inspection plan.
| |
| | |
| Overall, McGuire Units 1 and 2 operated in a manner that preserved public health and safety and fully met all cornerstone objectives. Plant performance for the most recent quarter, as well as for the first three quarters of the assessment cycle, was within the Licensee Response column of the NRC
| |
| =s 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. We also plan on conducting several non-ROP inspections, which include: containment sump blockage; implementation of B.5.b mitigating strategies; reactor coolant system dissimilar metal butt welds; hydrogen igniter backup power verification (not yet scheduled); and operator licensing examinations.
| |
| | |
| Additionally, the staff considered whether a substantive cross-cutting issue exists in the area of problem identification and resolution. Inspection reports issued during the period document four separate findings, each with a cross-cutting aspect of "appropriate and timely corrective actions." However, two of the findings represent the identical performance deficiency discovered on separate units. These two findings concerned foreign material that had been in the sump for over 10 years, found in both Unit 1 and Unit 2 Emergency Core Cooling System (ECCS) sumps during sump replacement. Refueling outage inspections of the inside of each sump were credited to prevent clogging of the ECCS throttle valves, as a compensatory
| |
| | |
| DPC 2measure for a design deficiency discovered in 1996. The cause of the inadequate previous inspections to find the debris was the same for both units. This one shared performance deficiency was documented on each unit, during the unit's refueling outage, but was separated in time by about 6 months. Consequently, the agency's plant issue numbering system indicates two separate report numbers for this shared performance deficiency. For the purpose of evaluating whether a substantive cross-cutting issue existed, we treated this common issue for each unit as one performance deficiency. Additionally, you have addressed this trend in problem identification and resolution by entering it into your corrective action program with plans to perform a full root cause analysis in order to prevent future recurrence. Accordingly, we do not believe a substantive cross-cutting issue exists at this time.
| |
| | |
| The enclosed inspection plan details the inspections, less those related to physical protection, scheduled through June 30, 2009. 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 A 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). ADAMS is 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 this inspection plan, we will contact you to discuss the change as soon as possible. Please contact me at (404) 562-4647 with any questions you may have regarding this letter or the inspection plan.
