ANNUAL ASSESSMENT LETTER EDWIN I. HATCH NUCLEAR PLANT UNITS 1 AND 2 - REPORT 05000321/2024006 AND 05000366/2024006
Dear Jamie M. Coleman:
The NRC has completed its end-ofcycle performance assessment of Edwin I. Hatch Nuclear Plant, Units 1 and 2, reviewing performance indicators (PIs), inspection results, and enforcement actions from January 1, 2024, through December 31, 2024. This letter informs you of the NRCs 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 baseline inspection program was completed at your facility as defined in Inspection Manual Chapter 2515, Light-Water Reactor Inspection Program - Operations Phase.
The NRC determined the performance at Edwin I. Hatch Nuclear Plant, Units 1 and 2, during the most recent quarter was within the Licensee Response Column (Column 1), the highest performance category of the NRCs 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, 2026.
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. 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.
This letter and its enclosure will be made available for public inspection and copying at ADAMS Public Documents l NRC.gov and at the NRC Public Document Room in accordance with Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations 2.390, Public Inspections, Exemptions, Requests for Withholding.
2 Please contact me at (404) 9974415 with any questions you may have regarding this letter.
Sincerely, Alan J. Blamey, Chief Reactor Projects Branch 3 Division of Operating Reactor Safety Docket Nos. 05000321 and 05000366 License Nos. DPR57 and NPF5 Enclosure: Hatch Inspection/Activity Plan (03/01/2025-12/31/2026)
