SUBJECT: ANNUAL ASSESSMENT LETTER FOR COMANCHE PEAK NUCLEAR POWER PLANT, UNITS 1 AND 2 (REPORT 05000445/2016006 AND 05000446/2016006)

Dear Mr. Peters:

On February 16, 2017, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed its end-of-cycle performance assessment of Comanche Peak Nuclear Power Plant, Units 1 and 2, reviewing performance indicators (PIs), inspection results, and enforcement actions from January 1, 2016, through December 31, 2016. This letter informs you of the NRC's 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 Comanche Peak Nuclear Power Plant, Units 1 and 2, during the most recent quarter was within the Licensee Response Column, the highest performance category of the NRC's Reactor Oversight Process (ROP) Action Matrix, because all inspection findings had very low safety significance (i.e., Green), and all PIs were within the 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 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. 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 Comanche Peak Nuclear Power Plant, Units 1 and 2, to confirm the station's full implementation of Commission Orders EA-12-049 and EA-12-051. In accordance with Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) 2.390 of the NRC's "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 me at (817) 200-1148 with any questions you have regarding this letter.

Sincerely,/RA/ Jeremy R. Groom, Chief Project Branch A Division of Reactor Projects Docket Nos. 05000445, 05000446 License Nos. NPF-87 and NPF-89
