Dresden Nuclear Power Station, Unit 2 issued the following announcement on May 6.
Nuclear Regulatory Commission staff will discuss the 2019 safety performance of the
Robinson nuclear power plant during a virtual meeting scheduled for May 13.
The Robinson plant is in South Carolina and operated by Duke Energy.
The session will be held from 3-3:45 p.m., Eastern Time, with NRC employees responsible
for plant inspections participating, including the resident inspectors based at the site. The meeting
will be accessible via Skype. For individuals without access to Skype, the telephone conference
number is 301-415-0333, passcode 3083427#.
The NRC determined that the Robinson plant operated safely during 2019 and is currently
under the NRC’s normal level of oversight.
The NRC Reactor Oversight Process, which requires thousands of hours of inspection each
year, uses color-coded inspection findings and indicators to measure plant performance. The colors
start at green and increase to white, yellow or red, commensurate with the safety significance of the
issues involved. Inspection findings or performance indicators with more than very low safety
significance trigger increased NRC oversight.
Inspections at the Robinson plant are conducted by NRC resident inspectors and other
inspection specialists from the NRC Region II office in Atlanta.
The annual assessment letters for the Robinson plant, which includes upcoming inspection
plans, is available on the NRC website. Current performance information for Robinson is also
available and is updated on a quarterly basis.
