Vice President, Plant Hatch Nuclear Operations P.O. Box 1295 Birmingham, AL 35201

SUBJECT:

PLANT PERFORMANCE REVIEW (PPR) - HATCH On October 1, 1996, the regional staff completed the semiannual Plant Performance Review (PPR) of Hatch. The staff conducts  !

these reviews for all operating nuclear power plants to develop an integrated understanding of safety performance. The results  !

are used by regional management to facilitate planning and i allocation of inspection resources. The PPR for Hatch involved the participation of all technical divisions in evaluating inspection results and safety performance information for the period from March 1996 through August 1996. PPRs provide regional management with a current summary of licensee performance and serve as inputs to the NRC Systematic Assessment of Licensee Performance (SALP) and senior management meeting (SMM) reviews.

This letter advises you of our planned inspection effort resulting from the Hatch PPR review. It is provided in an attempt to minimize the resource impact on your e.Tff and to allow for scheduling conflicts to be resolved 11. .vance of inspection dates. The enclosure presents our inspection plan for the next six months. Specific dates are included for near term inspections. Long term inspection dates will be announced prior to the inspections and any scheduling conflicts will be resolved with your staff. The rational or basis for each inspection outside the core inspection program is provided so that you are aware of the reasons for emphasis in these program areas.

Resident inspections are not listed due to their ongoing and continuous nature, nor are Region-based inspections which accomplish Resident Core Modules to compensate for Resident Inspector absences due to training.

During each NRC inspection planned during this period, specific attention will continue to be given to the verification of selected Updated Final Safety Analysis Report (UFSAR) commitments. Applicable portion (s) of the UFSAR that relate to the inspection activities will be reviewed and verification made that the UFSAR commitments have been properly implemented into plant practices, procedures and/or parameters.
