The letters show that U.S. commercial nuclear power plants continue to operate safely. Every six months each plant receives either a mid-cycle review letter or an annual assessment letter along with an NRC inspection plan. Updated information on plant performance is posted to the NRC Web site every quarter. The next annual assessment letters will be issued in March 2006.

The assessment letters for each plant will be available on the NRC Web site at:
