SUBJECT: ANNUAL ASSESSMENT LEDER ~ R. E. GINNA NUCLEAR POWER PLANT
(REPORT 05000244/2010001)
Dear Mr. Carlin:
On February 12, 2010, the NRC staff completed its performance review of R. E. Ginna Nuclear
Power Plant (Ginna). Our technical staff reviewed performance indicators (Pis) for the most
recent quarter and inspection results for the period from January 1 through December 31, 2009.
The purpose of this letter is to inform you of our assessment of your safety performance during
this period and our plans for future inspections at your facility.
This performance review and enclosed inspection plan do not include security information. A
separate letter designated and marked as "Official Use Only-Security Information" will include
the security cornerstone performance review and resultant inspection plan.
Overall, Ginna operated in a manner that preserved public health and safety and met all
cornerstone objectives with moderate degradation in safety performance. Plant performance for
the most recent quarter was within the Degraded Cornerstone column of the NRC's Action
Matrix. based on two findings having low to moderatei safety Significance (White) and one White
PI in the Mitigating Systems Cornerstone. The first White finding, originating in the first quarter
2009, was related to Ginna's inadequate implementation of a preventive maintenance (PM)
program for, and the subsequent failure of, the turbine-driven auxiliary feedwater (TDAFW)
pump governor. The second White finding. originating in the fourth quarter 2009, was related to
inadequate corrective actions which led to binding of the governor control valve and failure of
the same TDAFW pump. Additionally, the assigned White PI resulted from exceeding the White
significance threshold for the Mitigating Systems Performance Index (MSPI), Heat Removal
Systems PI, in the third quarter 2009, due to the reliability and unavailability issues associated
with the TDAFW pump.
In addition to reactor oversight process (ROP) baseline inspection at your facility, based on our
current assessment of performance for Ginna, we plan to conduct a supplemental inspection
using Inspection Procedure 95002, "Inspection for One Degraded Cornerstone or Any Three
White Inputs in a Strategic Performance Area." The NRC has previously conducted inspections
(Ml093160122, ML093160200 and ML091250233)1 to ensure that deficiencies associated with
the TDAFW pump have been corrected. However, this inspection will be conducted, when your
staff notifies us of your readiness, to provide assurance that the root and contributing causes for
the risk significant performance issues are understood, to independentty assess the extent of

are publicly available using the accession number in ADAMS

condition and extent of cause, to Independently detennine if safety culture components
contributed to the performance issues, and to provide assurance that the corrective actions are
sufficient to prevent recurrence.
The enclosed inspection plan details the inspections, less those related to security, scheduled
through June 30, 2011. In addition to the previously noted 95002 supplemental inspection and
the baseline inspections, we plan on conducting independent spent fuel storage installation
(ISFSI) inspections. The inspection plan is provided to allow for the resolution of any scheduling
conflicts and personnel availability issues well in advance of inspector arrival onsite. Routine
resident inspections are not listed due to their ongoing and continuous nature. The inspections
in the last nine months of the inspection plan are tentlative and may be revised at the mid-cycle
review.
In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 of the NRC's ~Rules 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 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).
If circumstances arise which cause us to change this inspection plan, we will contact you to
discuss the change as soon as possible. Please contact Glenn Dentel of my staff at
610-337-5233 with any questions you may have regarding this letter or the inspection plan.
