SUBJECT:

MID-CYCLE PERFORMANCE REVIEW AND INSPECTION PLAN - BEAVER VALLEY POWER STATION, UNITS 1 AND 2 (REPORT 05000334/2012006 AND 05000412/2012006)

Dear Mr. Harden:

On August 16, 2012, the U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed its mid-cycle performance review of Beaver Valley Power Station, Units 1 and 2. The NRC reviewed the most recent quarterly performance indicators (PIs) in addition to inspection results and enforcement actions from July 1, 2011 through June 30, 2012. This letter informs you of the NRC's assessment of your facility during this period and its plans for future inspections at your facility. This assessment reflects the integration of the Security Cornerstone into the IMC 0305, "Reactor Oversight Process."

The NRC determined the performance at Beaver Valley Units 1 and 2 during the most recent quarter was within the Licensee Response Column of the NRC

=s Reactor Oversight Process (ROP) Action Matrix because all inspection findings had very low (i.e., green) safety significance, and all PIs indicated that your performance was within the nominal, expected range (i.e., green). Therefore, the NRC plans to conduct ROP baseline inspections at your facility.

The enclosed inspection plan lists the inspections scheduled through December 31, 2013.

Routine inspections performed by resident inspectors are not included in the inspection plan. In addition to the baseline inspections, consistent with the Agency's actions related to Fukushima, the NRC will perform TI-187, "Inspection of Near Term Task Force Recommendation 2.3 Flooding Walkdowns" and TI-188, "Inspection of Near Term Task Force Recommendation 2.3 Seismic Walkdowns." The inspections listed during the last nine months of the inspection plan are tentative and may be revised at the end-of-cycle performance review. The NRC provides the inspection plan to allow for the resolution of any scheduling conflicts and personnel availability issues. The NRC will contact you as soon as possible to di scuss changes to the inspection plan should circumstances warrant any changes. This inspection plan does not include security related inspections, which will be sent via separate, non-publicly available correspondence.

In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 of the NRC

=s A Rules 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 Agencywide Document Access and Management System (ADAMS). ADAMS is accessible from the NRC Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html (the Public Electronic Reading Room.

Please contact me at 610-337-5046 with any questions you have regarding this letter.

Sincerely,

/RA/ Gordon K. Hunegs, Chief Projects Branch 6
