SUBJECT:

ANNUAL ASSESSMENT LETTER FOR RIVER BEND STATION (REPORT 05000458/20 14 001)

Dear Mr. Olson:

On February 19, 2015, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed its end

-of-cycle performance review of the River Bend Station. The NRC reviewed the most recent quarterly performance indicators (PIs) in addition to inspection results and enforcement actions from January 1, 20 14 , through December 31, 20 14. 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 the performance at the River Bend Station during the most recent quarter was within the Regulatory Response Column of the NRC

's Reactor Oversight Process (ROP) Action Matrix. On October 23, 2014, the NRC issued an Assessment Follow

-up Letter for the River Bend Station (ML14296A082) which stated that based on the issuance o f a Gr e a t e r-t ha n-G r een i ns p ec t i on f i nd i n g i n t he S e c u r i t y C o r ne r s tone, t he NR C d e t e r m i ned t he pe r f o rmance at Ri v er Bend S t a t i on t o be i n t he R e g u l a t o r y Response C o l u m n o f t he NRC's R eac tor O v e r s i ght P r oc e ss A c t i on M a tr i x, be g i nn i ng i n the second q ua r ter o f 20 1 4. T he r e f o r e , t he NR C p lans t o co nduct a supp l e m en tal inspe c t i on. In addition, the River Bend Station

's s a f e t y-s i g n i f i ca n t performance indicator (PI) for Unplanned Scrams with Complications, c rossed t he G r ee n-W h i t e t h resho l d du r i n g t he 4 th Q u a rt e r 201 4. This was due to two unplanned scrams the River Bend Station experienced in the 4 th Quarter of 2014. T he r e f o r e , t he NR C p l ans t o co nduct Inspe c t i on Procedure 95001, "Supplemental Inspection for One or Two White Inputs in a Strategic Performance Area."

T he NR C r e q ue s t s that y our s t a f f p r o v i de no t i f i ca t i on o f your r ead i ne s s f o r t he NR C t o conduct t h is supp l e m en tal inspec t ion. Because, this White input is not in the same strategic performance area as the finding in the Security Cornerstone described above, the River Bend Station remains in the Regulatory Response Column.

The enclosed inspection plan lists the inspections scheduled through June 30, 20 16. 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 mid

-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.

In accordance with 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 Greg Warnick, Chief, Project Branch C, at 817-200-1144 with any questions you have regarding this letter
