SUBJECT: ANNUAL ASSESSMENT LETTER - WATTS BAR NUCLEAR PLANT UNIT 2
(NRC INSPECTION REPORT 05000391/2009601)
Dear Mr. Bhatnagar:
On February 10, 2009, the NRC staff completed its performance review of the Watts Bar
Nuclear Plant Unit 2 construction project. Our technical staff reviewed 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.
Overall, activities conducted under the Watts Bar Nuclear Unit 2 construction permit for this
assessment period, as they relate to safety and compliance with the Commissions rules and
regulations, with the conditions of your construction permit, and with fulfillment of Unit 2
regulatory framework commitments, were adequate. Our inspections indicated that your
construction program and procedure development along with project staffing were sufficiently
implemented to support ongoing construction activities. Management and QA oversight were
adequate commensurate with the level of activities. The corrective action program
implementation activities, including initiation, classification, disposition, and trending were
deemed satisfactory. In conclusion, project performance for the most recent quarter, as well as
for the first three quarters of the assessment cycle, was adequate based on the above
inspection conclusion, all inspection findings being classified as severity level IV, and no
substantive cross-cutting issues being identified. Therefore, we do not plan to expand our
inspection activities beyond what is specified by Inspection Manual Chapter (IMC) 2517.
We continue to develop the construction inspection plan as the details of your project schedule
become available. For the remainder of 2009 we plan to perform inspections specified in IMC
2512, Light Water Reactor Inspection Program - Construction Phase. In addition we plan to
perform inspections in the following areas: Problem Identification and Resolution (PI&R),
Corrective Action Programs (CAPs), Special Programs (SPs), open items and generic
communications. At this time, we have not finalized the details of the schedule for most of these
inspection activities due to uncertainties or lack of detail in the Watts Bar Unit 2 project
schedule. We plan to give your staff ample notification of specific upcoming inspection activities
as their schedule becomes available in order to allow for the resolution of any scheduling
conflicts and personnel availability issues well in advance of inspector arrival onsite.
