-1257 August 31, 201 6 Richard Michael Glover Site Vice President H. B. Robinson Steam Electric Plant Duke Energy 3581 West Entrance Road, RNPA01 Hartsville, SC 29550 SUBJECT: MID-CYCLE ASSESSMENT LETTER FOR H. B. ROBINSON STEAM ELECTRIC PLANT - NRC INSPECTION REPORT 05000261/2016 00 5 Dear Mr. Glove r: On August 10, 2016, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed its mid-cycle performance review of H. B. Robinson Steam Electric Plant. The NRC reviewed the most recent quarterly performance indicators (PIs) in addition to inspection results and enforcement actions from July 1, 201 5 , through June 30, 2016. 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, H.B. Robinson Steam Electric Plant operated in a manner that preserved public health and safety and met all cornerstone objectives. The NRC determined the performance at H.B. Robinson Steam Electric Plant during the most recent quarter was within the Licensee Response Column of the NRC

's 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.

The enclosed inspection plan lists the inspections scheduled through June 30, 2018. Routine inspections performed by resident inspectors are not included in the inspection plan. The inspections listed during the second half of the inspection plan are tentative and may be revised at the end

-of-cycle performance review. 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 possible 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. The NRC staff completed Temporary Instruction 2515/191, "Inspection of the Implementation of Mitigation Strategies and Spent Fuel Pool Instrumentation Orders and Emergency Preparedness Communication/Staffing/Multi

-Unit Dose Assessment Plans" at H. B. Robinson Steam Electric Plant on April 15, 2016, to confirm full implementation of Order EA

-12-049, "Order Modifying Licenses with Regard to Requirements for Mitigation Strategies for Beyond-Design-Basis External Events" and Order EA

-12-051, "Order Modifying Licenses with Regard to Reliable Spent Fuel Pool Instrumentation."

R. Glover 2 The results of the inspection can be found in inspection report 05000261/2016009

.

In Staff Requirements Memorandum

- SECY 16-0009, "Recommendations Resulting from the Integrated Prioritization and Re

-Baselining of Agency Activities," the Commission approved the NRC staff recommendation to discontinue the formal mid

-cycle assessment process beginning in calendar year 2017. This will be the final mid

-cycle assessment letter. The staff will continue to conduct quarterly assessment meetings and communicate changes in the assessment of licensee performance in accordance with the guidance in Inspection Manual Chapter 0305, "Operating Reactor Assessment Program."

In accordance with Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) 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 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).

Please contact me at 404-997-4645 with any questions you have regarding this letter.

Sincerely,
