Dear Mr. Hamilton:

On September 20, 2018, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed an Emergency Preparedness inspection at your Perry Nuclear Power Plant. The NRC inspectors discussed the results of this inspection with Mr. F. Payne and other members of your staff. The results of this inspection are documented in the enclosed report.

The NRC inspectors did not identify any finding or violation of more-than-minor significance.

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 Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Part 2.390, Public Inspections, Exemptions, Requests for Withholding.

Should you have any questions concerning this inspection, we will be pleased to discuss them with you.

Sincerely,

Letter to David

SUMMARY

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission continued monitoring licensees performance by conducting an Emergency Preparedness Inspection at the Perry Nuclear Power Plant in accordance with the Reactor Oversight Process. The Reactor Oversight Process is the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commissions program for overseeing the safe operation of commercial nuclear power reactors. Refer to https://www.nrc.gov/reactors/operating/oversight.html for more information.

List of Findings and Violations No findings or violations were identified.

Additional Tracking Items None

INSPECTION SCOPES

Inspections were conducted using the appropriate portions of the inspection procedures (IPs)in effect at the beginning of the inspection unless otherwise noted. Currently approved IPs with their attached revision histories are located on the public website at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/doc-collections/insp-manual/inspection-procedure/index.html.

Samples were declared complete when the IP requirements most appropriate to the inspection activity were met consistent with Inspection Manual Chapter 2515, Light-Water Reactor Inspection Program - Operations Phase. The inspectors reviewed selected procedures and records, observed activities, and interviewed personnel to assess licensee performance and compliance with Commission rules and regulations, license conditions, site procedures, and standards.

REACTOR SAFETY

71114.01Exercise Evaluation

The inspectors evaluated the September 18, 2018, Biennial Emergency Plan Exercise.

The exercise scenario simulated an event at the Perry Nuclear Power Plant that initiated with the declaration and notification of an Unusual Event in response to an event associated with a leak in the plants reactor coolant system. The scenario conditions simulated the escalation of the significance of the event, requiring the declaration and notification of an Alert, a Site Area Emergency, and then a General Emergency, as well as the development of Protective Action Recommendations that were communicated to the required state and local government agencies.

71114.08Exercise EvaluationScenario Review

The inspectors reviewed and evaluated the proposed scenario for the Biennial Emergency Plan Exercise on August 20,
