Dear Mr. Harden:

As a result of its continuous review of plant performance, the U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) updated its assessment of Beaver Valley Power Station, Units 1 and 2. The NRC's evaluation consisted of a review of performance indicators and inspection results. This letter informs you of the NRC's assessment of and its plans for a future inspection at your facility. This letter supplements, but does not supersede, the mid-cycle letter issued on September 4, 2012.

On October 4, 2012, the NRC forwarded a letter that stated the final significance determination of one or more greater-than-green inspection findings in the Security Cornerstone. The finding, which occurred in the third quarter of 2012, was previously documented and assessed in NRC Inspection Report Nos. 05000334/2012404 and 05000412/2012404, issued on August 16, 2012.

The NRC determined the performance at Beaver Valley Power Station, Units 1 and 2, to be in the Regulatory Response Column of the Reactor Oversight Process Action Matrix beginning third quarter of 2012. Therefore, the NRC plans to conduct a supplemental inspection. The NRC requests that your staff provide notification of your readiness for the NRC to conduct this supplemental inspection. In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 of the NRC=s ARules of Practice,@ a copy of this letter will be 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).
