| | ==Dear Mr. Reddemann:== |
| | On February 14, 2012, the NRC completed its end-of-cycle performance review of Columbia Generating Station. The NRC reviewed the most recent quarterly performance indicators (PIs) |
| | in addition to inspection results and enforcement actions from January 1, 2011, through December 31, 2011. This letter informs you of the NRCs assessment of your facility during this period and its plans for future inspections at your facility. This performance review and enclosed inspection plan do not include security information. A separate letter will include the NRCs assessment of your performance in the Security Cornerstone and its security-related inspection plan. |
|
| |
|
| Sincerely,
| | The NRC determined that overall, Columbia Generating Station operated in a manner that preserved public health and safety and met all cornerstone objectives. The NRC determined the performance at Columbia Generating Station 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 NRC identifies substantive cross-cutting issues (SCCIs) to communicate a concern with the licensees performance in a cross-cutting area and to encourage the licensee to take appropriate actions before more significant performance issues emerge. The NRC identified a cross-cutting theme in the work practices component of the human performance cross-cutting area. |
| | |
| | Specifically, four green findings were identified in the work practices component of the human performance cross-cutting area associated with failure to implement human error prevention techniques [H.4(a)]. The NRC noted that previous and current improvement initiatives to address human performance issues have not been fully successful. Therefore, the NRC determined that an SCCI exists in this cross-cutting area. We plan to inspect your efforts to address this issue and request you provide us a letter informing us of your readiness for inspection of your corrective actions in this theme. The SCCI will remain open until we determine through our inspection that your corrective actions have been effective and the station has demonstrated sustained and measurable improvement. We will perform baseline inspections in this theme after you notify us in writing of your readiness for inspection. The enclosed inspection plan lists the inspections scheduled through June 30, 2013. 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. |

UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION rch 5, 2012
SUBJECT:
ANNUAL ASSESSMENT LETTER FOR COLUMBIA GENERATING STATION (REPORT 05000397/2012001)
Dear Mr. Reddemann:
On February 14, 2012, the NRC completed its end-of-cycle performance review of Columbia Generating Station. The NRC reviewed the most recent quarterly performance indicators (PIs)
in addition to inspection results and enforcement actions from January 1, 2011, through December 31, 2011. This letter informs you of the NRCs assessment of your facility during this period and its plans for future inspections at your facility. This performance review and enclosed inspection plan do not include security information. A separate letter will include the NRCs assessment of your performance in the Security Cornerstone and its security-related inspection plan.
The NRC determined that overall, Columbia Generating Station operated in a manner that preserved public health and safety and met all cornerstone objectives. The NRC determined the performance at Columbia Generating Station 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 NRC identifies substantive cross-cutting issues (SCCIs) to communicate a concern with the licensees performance in a cross-cutting area and to encourage the licensee to take appropriate actions before more significant performance issues emerge. The NRC identified a cross-cutting theme in the work practices component of the human performance cross-cutting area.
Specifically, four green findings were identified in the work practices component of the human performance cross-cutting area associated with failure to implement human error prevention techniques H.4(a). The NRC noted that previous and current improvement initiatives to address human performance issues have not been fully successful. Therefore, the NRC determined that an SCCI exists in this cross-cutting area. We plan to inspect your efforts to address this issue and request you provide us a letter informing us of your readiness for inspection of your corrective actions in this theme. The SCCI will remain open until we determine through our inspection that your corrective actions have been effective and the station has demonstrated sustained and measurable improvement. We will perform baseline inspections in this theme after you notify us in writing of your readiness for inspection. The enclosed inspection plan lists the inspections scheduled through June 30, 2013. 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.
In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 of the NRC=s ARules 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 817-200-1148 with any questions you have regarding this letter.
Sincerely,
/RA/
