Mallett said.
"This meeting will provide an opportunity for a discussion of our annua l assessment of safetyperformance with the company and with local officials and residents who live near the plant."A letter sent from the NRC Region IV office to plant officials addresses the performanceof the plant during 2006 and will serve as the basis for the meeting discussion. It is available onthe NRC web site at:
http://www.nrc.gov/NRR/OVERSIGHT/ASSESS/LETTERS/stp_2006q4.pdf
.The NRC utilizes color-coded inspection findings and performance indicators to assessnuclear power plant performance. The colors start with "green" and then increase to "white,""yellow" or "red," commensurate with the safety significance of the issues involved.
The NRC said South Texas Project operated safely during 2006, but during the lastquarter of 2006 was in the NRC's regulatory response column based on a "white" performanceindicator because of a problem with an emergency power system at Unit 2. A subsequent inspection indicated the licensee had successfully addressed the issue.Routine inspections are performed by two NRC Resident Inspectors assigned to the plantand by inspection specialists from the Region IV Office in Arlington, Texas. Among the areas ofplant performance to be inspected this year by NRC specialists are activities associated with engineering, fire protection, emergency prepare dness, maintenance and radiological controls.Current performance information for South Texas Project Unit 1 is available on the NRCweb site at: http://www.nrc.gov/NRR/OVERSI GHT/ASSESS/STP1/stp1_chart.html and at:http://www.nrc.gov/NRR/OVERSI GHT/ASSESS/STP2/stp2_chart.html for Unit 2.
