Mr. Ken J. Peters, Senior Vice President and Chief Nuclear Officer Attention: Regulatory Affairs Vistra Operations Company LLC P.O. Box 1002 Glen Rose, TX 76043

SUBJECT: ANNUAL ASSESSMENT LETTER FOR COMANCHE PEAK NUCLEAR POWER PLANT, UNITS 1 AND 2 (REPORT 05000 445/2018 00 6 AND 05000 446/2018 00 6)

Dear Mr. Peters:

T he U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has completed its end

-of-cycle performance assessment of Comanche Peak Nuclear Power Plant, Units 1 and 2

, reviewing performance indicators (PIs)

, inspection results

, and enforcement actions from January 1, 20 18 , through December 31, 20 18. 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 concluded that overall performance at your facility preserved public health and safety.

The NRC determined the performance at Comanche Peak Nuclear Power Plant, Units 1 and 2 , during the most recent quarter was within the Licensee Response Column, the highest performance category of the NRC

's Reactor Oversight Process (ROP) Action Matrix

, because all inspection findings had very low safety significance (i.e., Green), and all PIs were within the 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 December 31

, 20 20. This updated inspection plan now includes planned security inspections which were formerly transmitted under separate correspondence. The NRC provides the inspection plan to allow for the resolution of any scheduling conflicts and personnel availability issues. Routine inspections performed by resident inspectors are not included in the inspection plan. You should be aware that the agency has proposed changes regarding engineering inspections (SECY

-18-0113, "Recommendations for Modifying the Reactor Oversight Process Engineering Inspections") and is drafting proposed changes to the ROP for Commission consideration. Should the Commission approve changes to the ROP, the engineering and other region

-based inspections are subject to change in scope, as well as schedule, beginning in January 2020. The inspections listed during the last 12 months of the inspection plan are tentative and may be revised. The NRC will contact you as soon as possible to discuss changes to the inspection plan should circumstances warrant any changes. 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 (817) 200-1148 with any questions you have regarding this letter.

Sincerely,/RA/ Mark S. Haire, Chief Project Branch A Division of Reactor Projects Dockets: 50-445 and 50-446 Licenses:
