UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION

REGION III

2443 WARRENVILLE ROAD, SUITE 210 LISLE, IL 60532

-4352 March 4, 2013 Mr. Joseph Plona Senior Vice President and Chief Nuclear Officer Detroit Edison Company Fermi 2 - 210 NOC 6400 North Dixie Highway Newport, MI 48166

SUBJECT: ANNUAL ASSESSMENT LETTER FOR FERMI POWER PLANT, UNIT 2 (REPORT 05000341/2012001)

Dear Mr. Plona:

On February 1 3, 201 3 , the NRC completed its end-of-cycle performance review of the Fermi Power Plant, Unit 2. The NRC reviewed the most recent quarterly performance indicators (PIs) in addition to inspection results and enforcement actions from January 1, 2012, through December 31

, 2012. 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 Fermi Power Plant, Unit 2, during the most recent quarter was within the Regulatory Response Column of the NRC's Reactor Oversight Process (ROP) Action Matrix because the NRC identified that the Unplanned Scrams per 7000 Critical Hours performance indicator (PI) has crossed the Green

-to-White threshold. The change was due to the reactor scram that occurred in the 4th quarter of 2012 and two previous scram s. Previously the NRC determined the performance at Fermi Power Plant, Unit 2, during the first three quarters of 2012 was within the Regulatory Response Column of the NRC's ROP Action Matrix because of one or more greater

-than-green Security Cornerstone inputs as described in Report 05000341/2010201 sent on January 6, 2011.

Fermi Power Plant, Unit 2, transitioned to the Licensee Response Column on August 24, 2012, with the NRC's closure of the one or more greater

-than-green Security Cornerstone inputs that were being held open pending the completion of a supplemental inspection and effective corrective actions by the licensee. The NRC documented the results of that supplemental inspection in NRC Inspection Report 05000341/2012406 sent on October 4, 2012.

In addition to ROP baseline inspections, the NRC plans to conduct a supplemental inspection in accordance with Inspection Procedure 95001, "Supplemental Inspection for One or Two White Inputs in a Strategic Performance Area

," to review your actions to address the White performance indicator.

Your staff has not yet notified the NRC of your readiness for it to conduct a supplemental inspection to review the actions taken to address the performance issues. The enclosed inspection plan lists the inspections scheduled through December 3 1 , 201 4. Routine inspections performed by resident inspectors are not included in the inspection plan.

The inspections listed during the last 12 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.

The inspection plan does not include security related inspections, which will be sent via separate, non

-publicly available correspondence. The NRC also plan s on performing special and infrequently performed inspections including: Inspection Procedure (IP) 71111.21, "Component Design Basis Inspection," IP 71111.07T, "Heat Sink Performance," IP 71111.11B, "Licensed Operator Requalification Program," and Temporary Instruction (TI) 2515/18 2 , "Review of the Implementation of the Industry Initiative to Control Degradation of Underground Piping.

" 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 Mr. Jamnes Cameron, Chief, Division of Reactor Projects, Branch 6, at 630-829-9833 with any questions you may have regarding this letter or the inspection plan.

Sincerely,

/RA/
