SUBJECT:

PLANT PERFORMANCE REVIEW (PPR)- VERMONT YANKEE On March 27 1997, the NRC staff completed the semiannual Plant Performance Review i

, (PPR) of Vermont Yankee. The staff conducts these reviews for all operating nuclear -

power plants to develop an integrated understanding of safety performance. The results-are used by NRC management to facilitate planning and allocation of inspection resources. -

The l'PR for Vermont Yankee involved the participation of all technical divisions in  ;

evaluating inspection results and safety performance information for the period April 1996 to February 1997. PPRs provide NRC 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 Vermont Yankee PPR review. It 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. The enclosure details our inspection plan for the next 8 months. Resident

. inspections are not listed due to their ongoing and continuous nature.

We willinform you of any changes to the inspection plan. If you have any questions, please contact Curtis J. Cowgill at (610) 937 5233. i Sincerely, Original Signed By:

Curtis J. Cowgill, Chief Reactor Projects Branch 8 Division of Reactor Projects  !
