UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION REGION II SAM NUNN ATLANTA FEDERAL CENTER 61 FORSYTH STREET, SW, SUITE 23T85 ATLANTA, GEORGIA 30303-8931 March 4, 2009 Carolina Power and Light Company Mr. Christopher L. Burton Vice President Shearon Harris Nuclear Power Plant P. O. Box 165, Mail Code: Zone 1 New Hill, North Carolina 27562-0165
SUBJECT:
ANNUAL ASSESSMENT LETTER - SHEARON HARRIS NUCLEAR POWER PLANT (NRC INSPECTION REPORT 05000400/2009001)
Dear Mr. Burton:
On February 11, 2009, the NRC technical staff completed its performance review of the Shearon Harris Power Plant for the period from January 1 through December 31, 2008. Our technical staff reviewed performance indicators (PIs) for the most recent quarter and inspection results over the previous twelve months. 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 the enclosed inspection plan do not include security information. A separate letter designated and marked as "Official Use Only - Security-Related Information" will include the Security cornerstone performance review and a resultant inspection plan.
Overall, Shearon Harris Unit 1 operated in a manner that preserved public health and safety and fully met all cornerstone objectives. Plant performance for the most recent quarter, as well as the first three quarters of the assessment cycle, was within the Licensee Response Column of the NRC's Action Matrix, based on all inspection findings being classified as having very low safety significance (Green) and all PIs indicating performance at a level requiring no additional NRC oversight (Green). Therefore, we plan to conduct reactor oversight process (ROP) baseline inspections at your facility. We also plan on conducting several non-ROP inspections which include: initial operator licensing examinations, TI 2515/175, "Emergency Response Organization Drill/Exercise Performance Indicator," TI 2515/172, "Reactor Coolant System Dissimilar Metal Butt Welds," TI 2515/173, "Review of the Implementation of the Industry Ground Water Protection Voluntary Initiative", and License Amendment to Transition to NFPA-805 Audit.
The enclosed inspection plan details the inspections, less those related to physical protection, scheduled through June 30, 2010. The inspection plan is provided to minimize the resource impact on your staff and 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 tentative and may be revised at the mid-cycle review meeting.
CP&L 2 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 the inspection plan, we will contact you to discuss the change as soon as possible. Please contact me at (404) 562-4603 with any questions you may have regarding this letter or the inspection plan.
Sincerely, /RA/
Randall A. Musser, Chief Reactor Projects Branch 4 Division of Reactor Projects Docket No.: 50-400 License No.: NPF-63
