SUBJECT:

MID-CYCLE PERFORMANCE REVIEW AND INSPECTION PLAN - BEAVER VALLEY POWER STATION

Dear Mr. Pearce:

On August 2, 2005, the NRC staff completed its performance review of Beaver Valley Power Station Units 1 and 2 (Beaver Valley) for the first half of the calendar year 2005 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 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.

Plant performance for the most recent quarter for Beaver Valley Units 1 and 2 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). Therefore, we currently 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 March 31, 2007. The plan contains inspections of the replacement of the Unit 1 reactor vessel head and steam generators during your upcoming Unit 1 refueling outage. The inspection plan is provided to allow for scheduling conflicts and personnel availability to be resolved 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 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).

Mr. L. William Pearce 2 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 610-337-5200 with any questions you may have regarding this letter or the inspection plan.

Sincerely,

/RA/

Dr. Ronald R. Bellamy, Chief Reactor Projects Branch 7 Division of Reactor Projects Docket Nos. 50-334, 50-412 License Nos. DPR-66, NPF-73
