September 3, 2013 Mr. Adam C. Heflin Senior Vice President and Chief Nuclear Officer Union Electric Company P.O. Box 620 Fulton, MO 65251

SUBJECT:

MID-CYCLE ASSESSMENT LETTER FOR CALLAWAY PLANT (REPORT 05000483/2013006)

Dear Mr. Heflin:

On August 13, 2013, the NRC completed its mid

-cycle performance review of Callaway Plant

. The NRC reviewed the most recent quarterly performance indicators (PIs) in addition to inspection results and enforcement actions from July 1, 2012, through June 30, 2013. 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 Callaway Plant during the most recent quarter was within the Licensee Response Column of the NRC

's Reactor Oversight Process (ROP) Action Matrix because all inspection findings had very low (i.e.,

Green) safety significance, and all PIs indicated that your performance was within the nominal, 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, 2014. Routine inspections performed by resident inspectors are not included in the inspection plan

. The inspections listed during the last nine months of the inspection plan are tentative and may be revised at the end

-of-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.

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

-publicly available correspondence.
