| SUBJECT: ANNUAL ASSESSMENT LETTER - MONTICELLO NUCLEAR GENERATING PLANT (05000263/2009001)
| | ==Dear Mr. OConnor:== |
| | On February 11, 2009, the NRC staff completed its performance review of Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant. Our technical staff reviewed performance indicators (PIs) for the most recent quarter and inspection results for the period from January 1 through December 31, 2008. 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. |

|
| ==Dear Mr. O'Connor:==
| | 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. |
| On February 11, 2009, the NRC staff completed its performance review of Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant. Our technical staff reviewed performance indicators (PIs) for the most recent quarter and inspection results for the period from January 1 through December 31, 2008. 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, Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant 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. The staff identified that there were two areas in which there were more than three green inspection findings for the current 12-mont h assessment period, both with documented human performance (HP) cross-cutting aspects. The first group of findings had a cross-cutting theme in the aspect associated with oversight of work practices [H.4(c)]. The second group of findings had a cross-cutting theme in the aspect associated with correct and accurate procedures [H.2(c)]. The findings involved the Initiating Events, Mitigating Systems, and Barrier Integrity cornerstones. There were 19 findings documented with cross-cutting aspects in the HP area.
| |
|
| |
|
| In evaluating the licensee's scope of efforts and progress in addressing these cross-cutting themes, the staff determined that the licensee has not yet resolved the issues associated with these cross-cutting area performance deficiencies. Because of the decline in the area of HP, the NRC has concluded that a substantive cross-cu tting issue exists in th is area. Therefore, a new substantive cross-cutting issue with a theme in the aspect of [H.2(c)] and with a theme of [H.4(C)] will be opened. This substantive cross-cutting issue will remain open until the NRC gains confidence in your efforts and progress in addressing this issue. The enclosed inspection plan details the inspections, including baseline and other infrequently conducted inspections, less those related to security, 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.

UNITED STATES rch 4, 2009
SUBJECT:
ANNUAL ASSESSMENT LETTER - MONTICELLO NUCLEAR GENERATING PLANT (05000263/2009001)
Dear Mr. OConnor:
On February 11, 2009, the NRC staff completed its performance review of Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant. Our technical staff reviewed performance indicators (PIs) for the most recent quarter and inspection results for the period from January 1 through December 31, 2008. 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, Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant 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 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.
The staff identified that there were two areas in which there were more than three green inspection findings for the current 12-month assessment period, both with documented human performance (HP) cross-cutting aspects. The first group of findings had a cross-cutting theme in the aspect associated with oversight of work practices H.4(c). The second group of findings had a cross-cutting theme in the aspect associated with correct and accurate procedures
H.2(c). The findings involved the Initiating Events, Mitigating Systems, and Barrier Integrity cornerstones. There were 19 findings documented with cross-cutting aspects in the HP area.
In evaluating the licensees scope of efforts and progress in addressing these cross-cutting themes, the staff determined that the licensee has not yet resolved the issues associated with these cross-cutting area performance deficiencies. Because of the decline in the area of HP, the NRC has concluded that a substantive cross-cutting issue exists in this area. Therefore, a new substantive cross-cutting issue with a theme in the aspect of H.2(c) and with a theme of
[H.4(C)] will be opened. This substantive cross-cutting issue will remain open until the NRC gains confidence in your efforts and progress in addressing this issue. The enclosed inspection plan details the inspections, including baseline and other infrequently conducted inspections, less those related to security, 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 "Rules of Practice," a copy of this letter and its enclosure 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), 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 Kenneth Riemer at 630-829-9628 with any questions you may have regarding this letter or the inspection plan.
Sincerely,
/RA/
