UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION ber 1, 2015
SUBJECT:
MID-CYCLE ASSESSMENT LETTER FOR JOSEPH M. FARLEY NUCLEAR PLANT UNIT 1 AND UNIT 2 (NRC INSPECTION REPORT 05000348/2015005 AND 05000364/2015005)
Dear Ms. Gayheart:
On August 11, 2015, the NRC completed its mid-cycle performance review of Joseph M. Farley Nuclear Plant, Unit 1 and Unit 2. The NRC reviewed the most recent quarterly performance indicators (PIs) in addition to inspection results and enforcement actions from July 1, 2014, through June 30, 2015. This letter informs you of the NRCs assessment of your facility during this period and its plans for future inspections at your facility.
The NRC determined that overall, Joseph M. Farley Nuclear Plant, Unit 1 and Unit 2 operated in a manner that preserved public health and safety and met all cornerstone objectives. The NRC determined the performance at Joseph M. Farley Nuclear Plant, Unit 1 and Unit 2 during the most recent quarter was within the Licensee Response Column of the NRCs Reactor Oversight Process (ROP) Action Matrix because all inspection findings had very low (i.e., Green) safety significance, and all PIs indicated that your performance was within the nominal, expected range (i.e., Green). Therefore, the NRC plans to conduct ROP baseline inspections at your facility.
The enclosed inspection plan lists the inspections scheduled through June 30, 2017. Routine inspections performed by resident inspectors are not included in the inspection plan. In addition to baseline inspections, the NRC plans to conduct reactor operator licensing examinations and post-approval license renewal inspections. The inspections listed during the second half of the inspection plan are tentative and may be revised at the end-of-cycle performance review. The NRC provides the inspection plan to allow for the resolution of any scheduling conflicts and personnel availability issues. The NRC will contact you as soon as possible to discuss changes to the inspection plan should circumstances warrant any changes. This inspection plan does not include security related inspections, which will be sent via separate, non-publicly available correspondence. In response to the accident at Fukushima, the NRC is conducting audits of licensee efforts towards compliance with Commission issued Orders EA-12-049, Order Modifying Licenses with Regard to Requirements for Mitigation Strategies for Beyond-Design-Basis External Events, and EA-12-051, Order Modifying Licenses with Regard to Reliable Spent Fuel Pool Instrumentation.
As stated in our End-of-Cycle Performance Assessment letter on March 4, 2015, this audit includes an onsite component in order for the NRC to evaluate licensee plans for complying with these Orders and to receive and review information associated with open items. The date for the onsite component at your site is being coordinated with your staff. A site-specific audit plan for the visit will be provided in advance to allow sufficient time for preparations.
In accordance with Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) 2.390 of the NRCs Agency Rules of Practice and Procedure, a copy of this letter will be 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).
Please contact me at 404-997-4513 with any questions you have regarding this letter.
Sincerely,
/RA/
