UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION REGION II 245 PEACHTREE CENTER AVENUE NE, SUITE 1200 ATLANTA, GEORGIA 30303-1257 March 4, 2013

SUBJECT: ANNUAL ASSESSMENT LETTER FOR MCGUIRE NUCLEAR STATION UNITS 1 AND 2 (NRC INSPECTION REPORT 05000369/201001 AND 05000370/201001)

Dear Mr. Ca pps: On February 12, 2013, the NRC completed its end-of-cycle performance review of the McGuire Nuclear Station Units 1 and 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 y ou of the NRC's assessment of your facility during this period and its plans for future inspections at your facility.

The NRC determined that overall McGuire Units 1 and 2 operated in a manner that preserved public health and safety and met all cornerstone objectives. The NRC determined the performance for both units 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 June 30, 2014. Routine inspections performed by resident inspectors are not included in the inspection plan. We will also be performing an Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation Initial Campaign inspection; Temporary Instruction 182, Review of the Implementation of the Industry Initiative to Control Degradation of Underground Piping; and operator licensing examinations. The inspections listed during the last nine 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. This inspection plan does not include security related inspections, which will be sent via separate, non-publicly available correspondence.
