UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION REGION I 2100 RENAISSANCE BOULEVARD, SUITE 100 KING OF PRUSSIA, PA 19406-2713 2018 Mr. Bryan Hanson Senior Vice President Exelon Generation Co., LLC Presid ent and Chief Nuclear Officer Exelon Nuclear 4300 Winfiel d Road Warrenville, I L 6 0555 SUBJ EC T: ANNUAL ASSESSMENT LETTER FOR OYSTER C REEK NUCLEAR GENERATING STATION (REPORTS 05000219/20170 06 05000219/2017402 AND 05000219/2017501)
Dear Mr. Hanson:
The NRC has completed its end-of-cycle performance assessment of Oyster Creek Nuclear Generating Station, reviewing performance indicators (PIs), inspection results, and enforcement actions from January 1, 2017, through December 31, 2017. This letter informs you of the NRC's assessment of your facility during this period and its plans for future inspections at your facility. The NRC concluded that overall performance at your facility preserved public health and safety.
The NRC determined the performance at Oyster Creek Nuclear Generating Station during the most recent quarter was within the Licensee Response Column (Column 1) of the NRC's Reactor Oversight Process (ROP) Action Matrix in Inspection Manual Chapter 0305, "Operating Reactor Assessment Program," 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 facility.
Note that Oyster Creek Nuclear Generating Station transitioned from the Regulatory Response Column to the Licensee Response Column on October 1, 2017, following the successful completion of Inspection Procedure 95001, "Supplemental Inspection Response to Action Matrix Column 2 Inputs," which was initiated due to one White finding in the Mitigating System cornerstone associated with the inoperability of the 'E' electromatic relief valve (ADAMS Accession No. ML17291A306).
1 The enclosed inspection plan lists the inspections scheduled through December 31, 2019. This updated inspection plan now includes planned security inspections which were formerly transmitted under separate correspondence. The NRC provides the inspection plan to allow for the resolution of any scheduling conflicts and personnel availability issues. Routine inspections performed by resident inspectors are not included in the inspection plan.
1 The designation in parentheses refers to an Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession Number. Documents referenced in this letter are publicly available using the Accession Number in ADAMS. In a letter (ML18045A084) dated February 14, 2018, pursuant to 10 CFR 50.82(a)(1)(i), you notified the NRC of your intent to permanently cease power operations at Oyster Creek Nuclear Generating Station no later than October 31, 2018. Therefore, the inspection schedule is tentative and may be revised.
Once you formally notify the NRC in accordance with 10 CFR 50.82(a)(1)(ii) that Oyster Creek Nuclear Generating Station is permanently shutdown , and that all the nuclear fuel has been removed from the reactor vessel, then Oyster Creek Nuclear Generating Station will transition from NRC IMC 0305, "Operating Reactor Assessment Program," and IMC 2515, "Light-Water Reactor Inspection Program
- Operations Phase," to IMC 2561, "Decommissioning Power Reactor Inspection Program." The NRC will contact you as soon as possible to discuss changes to the inspection plan should circumstances warrant any changes.
The NRC will also be performing Inspection Procedure 60855.1, "Operation of an ISFSI at Operating Plants," in the second quarter of 2018.
In accordance with Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) 2.390 of the NRC's "Rules of Practice," a copy of this letter will be available electronically for public inspection in the NRC's Public Document Room or from the Publicly Available Records (PARS) component of NRC's document system (ADAMS). ADAMS is accessible from the NRC's Website at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html (the Public Electronic Reading Room).
Please contact Mr. Matthew Young at 610-337-5205 with any questions you may have regarding this letter.
Sincerely,
/RA/ David L. Pelton, Acting Director Division of Reactor Projects Docket No.
