SUBJECT: MID-CYCLE ASSESSMENT LETTER FOR SEABROOK STATION, UNIT NO. 1 (REPORT 05000443/2014006)

Dear Mr. Curtland:

On August 14, 2014, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed its mid-cycle performance review of Seabrook Station, Unit No. 1 (Seabrook). The NRC reviewed the most recent quarterly performance indicators in addition to inspection results and enforcement actions from July 1, assessment of your facility during this period and its plans for future inspections at your facility. The NRC determined that overall, Seabrook was operated in a manner that preserved public health and safety and met all cornerstone objectives. The NRC determined the performance at Seabrook during the most recent quarter was within the Licensee Response Column of the (i.e., green) safety significance, and all performance indicators demonstrated that your performance was within the nominal, expected range (i.e, green). Therefore, the NRC plans to conduct Reactor Oversight Process baseline inspections at your facility. As a result of the Safety Culture Common Language Initiative, the terminology and coding of cross-cutting aspects were revised. All cross-cutting aspects identified during inspections conducted in calendar year 2014 reflect this revision to Inspection Manual Chapter (IMC) 0310. Cross-cutting aspects identified in 2013 using the 2013 terminology were converted to the latest revision in accordance with the cross-reference in IMC 0310 during the mid-cycle assessment review and evaluated for cross-cutting themes and potential substantive cross-cutting issues in accordance with IMC 0305. The enclosed inspection plan lists the inspections scheduled through December 31, 2015. 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 end-of-cycle performance review. As part of our baseline inspection program, (ASR) non-conforming condition impacting safety-related reinforced concrete structures at Seabrook. This will be accomplished through scheduled six-month inspection activities using sampling guidance. In addition to baseline inspections, the NRC will perform IP 60855.1, 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. In response to the accident at Fukushima, the Commission issued Order EA-12-Modifying Licenses with Regard to Requirements for Mitigation Strategies for Beyond-Design-develop, implement, and maintain guidance and strategies to maintain or restore core cooling, containment, and spent fuel pool cooling capabilities following a beyond-design-basis external event. Additionally, the Commission issued Order EA-12- Modifying Licenses with Regard to Reliable Spent Fuel Pool wide-range Spent Fuel Pool levels to support effective prioritization of event mitigation and recovery actions in the event of a beyond-design-basis external event. The NRC is conducting audits of licensee efforts towards compliance with these Orders. This audit includes an onsite component in order for the NRC to evaluate licensee plans for complying with the Orders, as described in site-specific submittals, and to receive and review information relative to associated open items. This onsite activity will occur in the months prior to a declaration of compliance for the first unit at each site, and will aid staff in development of an ultimate Safety Evaluation for the site. The date for the onsite component at your site is being coordinated with your staff. A site-specific audit plan for the visit will be provided in advance to allow sufficient time for preparations. In accordance with Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), Part 2.390 of the inspection in the NRC Public Document Room or from the Publicly Available Records component of the NRC's Agencywide Document Access and Management 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 (610) 337-5233 with any questions you have regarding this letter.

Sincerely,
