SUBJECT:

ANNUAL ASSESSMENT LETTER - NINE MILE POINT NUCLEAR STATION (REPORT 05000220/2007001 AND 05000410/2007001)

Dear Mr. O'Connor:

On February 12, 2007, the NRC staff completed its performance review of the Nine Mile Point Nuclear Station (Nine Mile Point ). Our technical staff reviewed performance indicators (PIs) for the most recent quarter and inspection results for the period from January 1 through December 31, 2006. 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 enclosed inspection plan do not include physical protection information. A separate letter designated and marked as "Exempt from Public Disclosure in accordance with 10 CFR 2.390" will include the physical protection review and resultant inspection plan.

Overall, Nine Mile Point Units 1 and 2 operated in a manner that preserved public health and safety and fully met all cornerstone objectives. Plant performance for Units 1 and 2 in the most recent quarter, as well as for the first three quarters of the assessment cycle, was within the Licensee Response column of the NRCs 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). Although Unit 1 performance in calendar year 2006 was within the Licensee Response column, the final significance of a finding related to the compromise of Unit 1 operator license requalification examinations is still under review.

A preliminary White finding was issued on February 13, 2007, as part of the Significance Determination process. Our final significance determination for this finding will be provided to you in separate correspondence and may result in a change to our inspection plan. Based on our current assessment of performance for Units 1 and 2, we plan to conduct reactor oversight process (ROP) baseline inspections at your facility.

The enclosed inspection plan details the inspections, less those related to physical protection, scheduled through June 30, 2008. The inspection plan is provided 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.

In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 of the NRCs 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 this inspection plan, we will contact you to discuss the change as soon as possible. Please contact me at 610-337-5233 with any questions you may have regarding this letter or the inspection plan.

Sincerely,

/RA/
