Nuclear Regulatory Commission staff will discuss the 2020 safety performance of the
H.B. Robinson nuclear power plant during a virtual meeting to be held May 5.
The event will begin at 3 p.m. Eastern time led by the NRC staff responsible for conducting
plant inspections. The public and the media will be able to access the meeting via Teams. For those
without Teams access, the teleconference number is 301-576-2978, passcode 979196608#.
Robinson Nuclear, operated by Duke Energy, is located near Hartsville, South Carolina,
approximately 25 miles northwest of Florence, South Carolina.
NRC resident inspectors and other inspection specialists from the Region II office in Atlanta
perform inspections at the Robinson nuclear power plant. The NRC determined that in 2020 the
Robinson plant operated safely and is currently under the NRC’s normal level of oversight.
The NRC Reactor Oversight Process, which requires thousands of inspection hours 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.
The annual assessment letter for the Robinson plant, which includes upcoming inspection plans for
the plant, is available on the NRC website. Current performance information for Robinson is also available
and is updated quarterly.
