SUBJECT:
ANNUAL ASSESSMENT LETTER FOR GRAND GULF NUCLEAR STATION (REPORT 05000416/2016006)
Dear Mr. Fallacara:
On February 15, 2017, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed its end-of-cycle performance assessment of Grand Gulf Nuclear Station, reviewing performance indicators (PIs), inspection results, and enforcement actions from January 1, 2016, through December 31, 2016. This letter informs you of the NRCs 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 Grand Gulf Nuclear Station during the most recent quarter was within the Regulatory Response Column, the second highest performance column of the NRCs Reactor Oversight Process (ROP) Action Matrix. This conclusion was based on the PI for Unplanned Scrams per 7,000 Critical Hours (Initiating Events Cornerstone) crossing the White threshold in the third quarter of 2016.
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 assure that the root causes and contributing causes of significant performance issues are understood, (2) to independently assess and assure that the extent of condition and extent of cause of significant performance issues are identified, (3) to assure that corrective actions taken to address and preclude repetition of significant performance issues are prompt and effective, and (4) to assure that corrective plans direct prompt actions to effectively address and preclude repetition of significant performance issues. This inspection will be scheduled after you notify the NRC of your readiness.
The enclosed inspection plan lists the inspections scheduled through December 31, 2018. 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 twelve 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.
UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION
REGION IV
1600 E. LAMAR BLVD ARLINGTON, TX 76011-4511 This inspection plan does not include the plan for security-related inspections, which will be sent via separate, non-publicly available correspondence.
Additionally, as reflected in the enclosure, during this period the NRC staff will complete Temporary Instruction 2515/191, Inspection of the Implementation of Mitigation Strategies and Spent Fuel Pool Instrumentation Orders and Emergency Preparedness Communication/
Staffing/Multi-Unit Dose Assessment Plans. This inspection will be conducted at Grand Gulf Nuclear Station to confirm the stations full implementation of Commission Orders EA-12-049 and EA-12-051.
From January 1 to December 31, 2016, the NRC issued three Severity Level IV traditional enforcement violations associated with impeding the regulatory process. Therefore, the NRC plans to conduct Inspection Procedure 92723, Follow Up Inspection for Three or More Severity Level IV Traditional Enforcement Violations in the Same Area in a 12-Month Period, to follow-up on these violations. This inspection will be scheduled after you notify the NRC of your readiness.
In accordance with Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) 2.390 of the NRCs Rules of Practice, a copy of this letter will be available electronically for public inspection in the NRC Public Document Room or from the Publicly Available Records (PARS) component of NRC's document system (ADAMS). ADAMS is accessible from the NRC Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html (the Public Electronic Reading Room).
Please contact Greg Warnick at 817-200-1144 with any questions you have regarding this letter.
Sincerely,
/RA/
