On February 12, 2008, the NRC staff completed its performance review of Beaver Valley Power Station, Units 1 and 2. Our technical staff reviewed performance indicators (PIs) for the most recent quarter and inspection results for the period January 1 through December 31, 2007. The purpose of this letter is to inform you of our assessment of your safety performance during this period and our plans for future inspections at your facility.
 
Station, Units 1 and 2. Our technical staff reviewed performance indicators (PIs) for the most  
 
recent quarter and inspection results for the period January 1 through December 31, 2007. The  
 
purpose of this letter is to inform you of our assessment of your safety performance during this period and our plans for future inspections at your facility.
 
This performance review and enclosed inspection plan do not include security information. A
 
separate letter designated and marked as "Official Use Only-Security Information" will include
 
the security cornerstone review and resultant inspection plan.
 
Beaver Valley Unit 1 and Unit 2 plant performance for the last two quarters of 2007 was within
 
the Licensee Response column of the NRC Action Matrix based on all inspection findings being
 
classified as very low safety significance (Green) and all PIs indicating performance at a level
 
requiring no additional NRC oversight (Green). No substantive cross cutting issues were
 
identified in any of the three cross cutting areas.
 
Plant performance for the first two quarters of 2007 was within the Regulatory Response column
 
of the NRC Action Matrix, based on one inspection finding being classified as having low to
 
moderate safety significance (White) in the Emergency Preparedness (EP) Cornerstone due to
 
a dose assessment procedure inadequacy that could have resulted in untimely protective action
 
recommendations. The NRC completed a supplemental inspection in accordance with
 
Inspection Procedure 95001 in June 2007 to review actions taken to address the White EP
 
finding and concluded that FENOC appropriately identified root causes and adequately
 
implemented corrective actions for this issue. As a result, plant performance was restored to
 
the Licensee Response column of the NRC Action Matrix.
 
Based on current plant performance, we plan to conduct reactor oversight process (ROP)
 
baseline inspections at Beaver Valley. In addition, we will also conduct inspections related to
 
the completion of the Extended Power Uprate for Unit 2, and inspections related to the Beaver
 
Valley license renewal review. The enclosed inspection plan details the inspections, less those related to physical protection scheduled through June 30, 2009. The inspection plan is provided to allow for the resolution of
 
any scheduling conflicts and personnel availability issues well in advance of inspector arrival
 
onsite. Routine resident inspections are not listed due to their ongoing and continuous nature.
 
The inspections in the last nine months of the inspection plan are tentative and may be revised
 
at the end-of-cycle review.
 
In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 of the NRC's "Rules and Practices," a copy of this letter and
 
its enclosure will be made available electronically for public inspection in the NRC Public
 
Document Room or from the Publicly Avail able Records (PARS) component of NRC's document system (ADAMS). ADAMS is accessible from the NRC Website at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-
rm/adams.html (The Public Electronic Reading Room).
 
The NRC is currently evaluating the scope and frequency of all the baseline inspection
 
procedures. If the results of the evaluation, or any other circumstances, cause us to change the
 
inspection plan, we will contact you to discuss the change as soon as possible. Please contact
 
Dr. Ronald Bellamy at 610-337-5200 with any questions you may have regarding this letter or
 
the inspection plan.

SUBJECT:

ANNUAL ASSESSMENT LETTER - BEAVER VALLEY POWER STATION UNITS 1 AND 2 (REPORT 05000334/2008001 AND 05000412/2008001)

Dear Mr. Sena:

On February 12, 2008, the NRC staff completed its performance review of Beaver Valley Power Station, Units 1 and 2. Our technical staff reviewed performance indicators (PIs) for the most recent quarter and inspection results for the period January 1 through December 31, 2007. The purpose of this letter is to inform you of our assessment of your safety performance during this period and our plans for future inspections at your facility.

This performance review and enclosed inspection plan do not include security information. A separate letter designated and marked as Official Use Only-Security Information" will include the security cornerstone review and resultant inspection plan.

Beaver Valley Unit 1 and Unit 2 plant performance for the last two quarters of 2007 was within the Licensee Response column of the NRC Action Matrix based on all inspection findings being classified as very low safety significance (Green) and all PIs indicating performance at a level requiring no additional NRC oversight (Green). No substantive cross cutting issues were identified in any of the three cross cutting areas.

Plant performance for the first two quarters of 2007 was within the Regulatory Response column of the NRC Action Matrix, based on one inspection finding being classified as having low to moderate safety significance (White) in the Emergency Preparedness (EP) Cornerstone due to a dose assessment procedure inadequacy that could have resulted in untimely protective action recommendations. The NRC completed a supplemental inspection in accordance with Inspection Procedure 95001 in June 2007 to review actions taken to address the White EP finding and concluded that FENOC appropriately identified root causes and adequately implemented corrective actions for this issue. As a result, plant performance was restored to the Licensee Response column of the NRC Action Matrix.

Based on current plant performance, we plan to conduct reactor oversight process (ROP)

baseline inspections at Beaver Valley. In addition, we will also conduct inspections related to the completion of the Extended Power Uprate for Unit 2, and inspections related to the Beaver Valley license renewal review. The enclosed inspection plan details the inspections, less those related to physical protection scheduled through June 30, 2009. The inspection plan is provided to allow for the resolution of any scheduling conflicts and personnel availability issues well in advance of inspector arrival onsite. Routine resident inspections are not listed due to their ongoing and continuous nature.

The inspections in the last nine months of the inspection plan are tentative and may be revised at the end-of-cycle review.

In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 of the NRCs Rules and Practices, a copy of this letter and its enclosure will be made available electronically for public inspection in the NRC Public Document Room or from the Publicly Available Records (PARS) component of NRCs document system (ADAMS). ADAMS is accessible from the NRC Website at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html (The Public Electronic Reading Room).

The NRC is currently evaluating the scope and frequency of all the baseline inspection procedures. If the results of the evaluation, or any other circumstances, cause us to change the inspection plan, we will contact you to discuss the change as soon as possible. Please contact Dr. Ronald Bellamy at 610-337-5200 with any questions you may have regarding this letter or the inspection plan.
