SUBJECT:

ANNUAL ASSESSMENT LETTER FOR D.C. COOK NUCLEAR POWER PLANT, UNITS 1 AND 2 (REPORT 05000315/2011007 AND 05000316/2011007)

Dear Mr. Weber:

On February 15, 2012, the NRC staff completed its end-of-cycle performance review of D.C. Cook Nuclear Power Plant, Units 1 and 2. The NRC reviewed the most recent quarterly performance indicators (PIs) in addition to inspection results and enforcement actions for the period from January 1, 2011, through December 31, 2011. This letter informs you of the NRCs assessment of your facility during this period and its plans for future inspections at your facility.

This performance review and enclosed inspection plan do not include security information. A separate letter will include the NRCs assessment of your performance in the Security Cornerstone and its security-related inspection plan.

The NRC determined that overall, D.C. Cook Nuclear Power Plant Units 1 and 2, operated in a manner that preserved public health and safety and met all cornerstone objectives. The NRC determined the performance at D.C. Cook Nuclear Power Plant Units 1 and 2 during the most recent quarter was within the Licensee Response Column of the NRC=s Reactor Oversight Process (ROP) Action Matrix because all inspection findings had very low (i.e., green) safety significance, and all PIs indicated that your performance was within the nominal, 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 June 30, 2013. Routine inspections performed by resident inspectors are not included in the inspection plan. The inspections listed during the last 9 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. We also plan on conducting several special and infrequently performed Inspection Procedures (IPs) which include: IP 60854.1, Preoperational Testing of Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation (ISFSIs) at Operating Plants; IP 60855.1, Operation of an ISFSI at Operating Plants; IP 60856.1, Review of 10 CFR 72.212(b) Evaluations at Operating Plants; and IP 92709, Licensee Strike Contingency Plans.

In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 of the NRC=s ARules 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 Agencywide Documents 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 630-829-9619 with any questions you may have regarding this letter.

Sincerely,

/RA/

John B. Giessner, Chief Branch 4 Division of Reactor Projects
