SUBJECT:

MID-CYCLE PERFORMANCE REVIEW AND INSPECTION PLAN - NINE MILE POINT NUCLEAR STATION (REPORTS 05000220/2008001 AND 05000410/2008001)

Dear Mr. Polson:

On August 6, 2008, the NRC staff completed its performance review of Nine Mile Point Nuclear Station for the first half of the calendar year 2008 assessment cycle. 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 enclosed inspection plan do not include security information. A separate letter designated and marked as "Official Use Only--Security Information" will include the security cornerstone review and resultant inspection plan.

Plant performance for the most recent quarter 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.

While plant performance for the most recent quarter was within the Licensee Response column of the Action Matrix, Nine Mile Point Unit 1 was within the Regulatory Response column of the Action Matrix during the first two quarters of the assessment cycle, based on one finding of low to moderate safety significance (White) identified in January 2007. The White finding involved your Licensed Operator Requalification Training Program for Unit 1. Specifically, the annual dynamic simulator examination integrity was unintentionally compromised at Unit 1 for 2005 and 2006. The NRC has completed a supplemental inspection in accordance with inspection procedure 95001. The results of that inspection were provided in NRC Supplemental Inspection Report 05000220/2007007. As a result of that review, this finding was closed and no longer considered for plant assessment purposes, effective January 1, 2008.

The enclosed inspection plan details the inspections, less those related to physical protection scheduled through December 31, 2009. In addition to baseline inspections, we plan on conducting a license renewal commitments inspection. 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 end-of-cycle review.

In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 of the NRC=s ARules 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 (610) 337-5233 with any questions you may have regarding this letter or the inspection plan.

Sincerely,

/RA Original Signed By:/
