SUBJECT: ANNUAL ASSESSMENT LETTER FOR OCONEE NUCLEAR STATION UNITS 1, 2, AND 3 - NRC INSPECTION REPORT 05000 269/20 17 006, 05000 270/2017006 AND 05000 287/20 17 006, REPORT 05000269/2017402, 05000270/2017402 AND 05000287/2017402, REPORT 05000269/2017501, 05000270/2017501 AND 05000287/2017501 Dear Mr. Burchfield

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has completed its end-of-cycle performance review of the Oconee Nuclear Station Units 1 , 2 a nd 3, reviewing performance indicators (PIs), inspection results, and enforcement actions from January 1, 201 7, through December 31

, 20 1 This letter informs you of the NRC's assessment of your facility during this period and its plans for future inspections at your facilit The NRC concluded that overall performance at your facility preserved public health and safet The NRC determined the performance at Oconee Nuclear Station Units 1, 2, and 3 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 facilit The enclosed inspection plan lists the inspections scheduled through December 31

, 20 1 This updated inspection plan now includes planned security inspections which were formerly transmitted under separate correspondenc The NRC provides the inspection plan to allow for the resolution of any scheduling conflicts and personnel availability issue Routine inspections performed by resident inspectors are not included in the inspection pla The inspections listed during the last 12 months of the inspection plan are tentative and may be revise The NRC will contact you as soon as possible to discuss changes to the inspection plan should circumstances warrant any change The NRC will conduct Temporary Instruction (TI) 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" in July 2018

.

E. Burchfield 2 This letter, its enclosure, and your response (if any) will be made available for public inspection and copying at http://www.nrc.gov/reading
