ANNUAL ASSESSMENT LETTER FOR CATAWBA NUCLEAR STATION UNITS 1 AND 2 - NRC INSPECTION REPORT 05000413/2017006 AND 05000414/2017006, REPORT 05000413/2017402 AND 05000414/2017402, REPORT 05000413/2017501 AND 05000414/2017501

Dear Mr. Simril:

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has completed its end-of-cycle performance assessment of Catawba Nuclear Station Units 1 and 2, reviewing performance indicators (PIs), inspection results, and enforcement actions from January 1, 2017, through December 31, 2017. 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 Catawba Nuclear Station Unit 1 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). The NRC determined the performance at Catawba Nuclear Station Unit 2 during the most recent quarter was within the Regulatory Response Column, the second highest performance column of the NRC's ROP Action Matrix. This conclusion was based on a single inspection finding having low-to-moderate safety significance (i.e., White) in the Mitigating Systems Cornerstone originating in the third quarter of 2017, and all PIs within the expected range (i.e., Green). Therefore, in addition to ROP baseline inspections, the NRC plans to conduct a supplemental inspection in accordance with Inspection Procedure 95001, "Supplemental Inspection Response to Action Matrix Column 2 Inputs." The objectives of the supplemental inspection are: (1) to ensure that the root and contributing causes of significant performance issues are understood, (2) to ensure that the extent of condition and extent of cause of significant performance issues are identified, (3) to ensure that corrective actions taken to address and preclude repetition of significant performance issues are prompt and effective, and (4) to ensure that corrective action T. Simril 2 plans direct prompt actions to effectively address and preclude repetition of significant performance issues. The NRC has tentatively scheduled the supplemental inspection for the week of May 7, 2018. This date is dependent on notification of your readiness. The enclosed inspection plan lists the inspections scheduled through December 31, 2019. 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. 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, its enclosure, and your response (if any) will be made available for public inspection and copying at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html and at the NRC Public Document Room in accordance with 10 CFR 2.390, "Public Inspections, Exemptions, Requests for Withholding." Please contact Frank Ehrhardt at 404-997-4611 with any questions you have regarding this letter. Sincerely, /RA/ Joel T. Munday, Director Division of Reactor Projects Docket Nos.: 50-413, 50-414 License Nos.: NPF-35, NPF-52
