SUBJECT:

MID-CYCLE PERFORMANCE REVIEW AND INSPECTION PLAN -VERMONT YANKEE NUCLEAR POWER STATION

Dear Mr. Thayer:

On August 4, 2004, the NRC staff completed Its mid-cycle plant performance assessment of the Vermont Yankee Nuclear Power Station. The mid-cycle review for Vermont Yankee Involved the participation of all technical divisions In evaluating performance for the first half of the calendar year 2004 assessment cycle. The process Included a review of 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 so that you will have an opportunity to prepare for these Inspections and to Inform us of any planned Inspections that may conflict with your plant activities.

This performance review and enclosed Inspection plan do not Include physical protection Information. A separate letter designated and marked as 'Proprietary Information In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390(d)(1) will Include the physical protection 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 only reactor oversight process (ROP) baseline Inspections at your facility through March 31, 2006.

The enclosed Inspection plan details the Inspection, less those related to physical protection, scheduled through March 31, 2006. Our Inspection plan Includes an Inspection during the week of November 29, 2004, using Inspection procedure IP 71004 'Power Uprate." This Inspection will review Vermont Yankee's erosion and flow assisted corrosion program. This Is one of several inspections using IP 71004 that will occur as a result of Entergy's power uprate request. We will develop the schedule for the subsequent Inspections using IP 71004 as they become finalized based on the progress of our review of Entergy's power uprate request. The Inspection plan is provided to minimize the resource Impact on your staff and 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

Lawrence Doerflein r2004 Mid-Cycle Letter - VY.final.pdf Page 2 Mr. Jay K. Thayer 2

twelve months of the Inspection plan are tentative and may be revised at the end-of-cycle review meeting.

In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 of the NRC's '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 hltpJ/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) 337-5227 with any questions you may have regarding this letter or the Inspection plan.

Sincerely, IRAI Clifford J. Anderson, Chief Projects Branch 5 Division of Reactor Projects Docket No. 50-271 License No. DPR-28
