1 Robinson Nuclear Plant Regulatory Performance Meeting Nuclear Regulatory Commission - Region II Hartsville, SC August 25, 2011
Category 1 Meeting The public is invited to observe the meeting and will have the opportunity to communicate with the NRC after the business portion of the meeting but before the meeting is adjourned.
This plan does not preclude the licensee from responding to questions if it chooses to do so.
2 Level of Public Participation
Provide a public forum in which to develop a shared understanding of the performance issues, underlying causes, and planned licensee actions for each safety-significant Action Matrix input.
3 Purpose of Todays Meeting

11 Assessment Results White Unplanned Scrams per 7000 Critical Hours Performance Indicator (3rd Quarter 2010)
- The licensee experienced unplanned reactor trips on the following dates: November 6, 2009, March 28, 2010, September 9, 2010, and October 7, 2010.
12 Assessment Results Two White findings in the 3rd quarter of 2010 and One White finding in the 4th quarter of 2010
- Licensees failure to correct a condition adverse to quality in B Emergency Diesel Generator output breaker 52/27B.
- Licensees failure to adequately design and implement operator training based on learning objectives as required by 10 CFR 55.59(c), in that training lesson material failed to identify the basis of a procedural action involving reactor coolant pump seal cooling in licensee procedure PATH-1, as required by the definition of systems approach to training, Element 3 in 10 CFR 55.4.
13 Assessment Results
- Licensees failure to adequately implement requirements of multiple procedures required by Technical Specification 5.4.1, during an uncontrolled cool down of the Reactor Coolant System and subsequent safety injection after a reactor trip on March 28, 2010.
PROGRESS ENERGY DISCUSSION OF CORRECTIVE ACTIONS 14
15 95001 Supplemental Inspection
