ANNUAL ASSESSMENT LETTER FOR SHEARON HARRIS NUCLEAR POWER PLANT (NRC INSPECTION REPORT 05000400/2012001)

Dear Mr. Hamrick:

On February 13, 2013, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed its end-of-cycle performance review of the Shearon Harris Nuclear Power Plant. 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 you of the NRCs assessment of your facility during this period and its plans for future inspections at your facility.

The NRC determined the performance at Shearon Harris Nuclear Power Plant during the most recent quarter was within the Regulatory Response Column of the NRCs Reactor Oversight Process (ROP) Action Matrix based on one inspection finding classified as low to moderate safety significance in the Emergency Preparedness Cornerstone. The White finding was for failure to maintain adequate emergency facilities and equipment to support emergency response. Specifically, the Emergency Operations Facility (EOF) normal and emergency ventilation system was in a degraded state and/or removed from service, for extended periods of time. This finding was identified during the second quarter of calendar year 2012.

Based on your current readiness projections, we are tentatively scheduling the supplemental inspection to review your corrective actions related to the EOF finding for the week of March 18, 2013. Therefore, in addition to ROP baseline inspections, the NRC plans to conduct a supplemental inspection in accordance with Inspection Procedure 95001, Inspection for One or Two White Inputs in a Strategic Performance Area.

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. 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.

We also plan on conducting several infrequently performed inspections which include: Operator Licensing Exams and TI 2515/182, Review of the Implementation of the Industry Initiative to Control Degradation of Underground Piping and Tanks, Phase 2.

In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 of the NRCs Rules of Practice, a copy of this letter and its enclosure will be made 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 Randy Musser at 404-997-4603 with any questions you may have regarding this letter.

Sincerely,

/RA/
