UNITED NUCLEAR REGULATORY
REGION 475 ALLENDALE KING OF PRUSSIA, PENNSYLVANIA
March 3, 2010 Mr. John T. Carlin Vice President
R. E. Ginna Nuclear Power Plant R. E. Ginna Nuclear Power Plant, 1503 Lake Ontario, NY
ANNUAL ASSESSMENT
LEDER R. E. GINNA NUCLEAR POWER (REPORT
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 I DeSignation
in parenthesis
refers to an ADAMS accession
number. Documents
referenced
in this letter are publicly available
using the accession
number in ADAMS
J. Carlin 2 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
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/readingrm/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. Sincerely, Regional Administrator, Region I Docket No. 50-244 License No. DPR-18 Enclosure:
