UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION REGION IV 611 RYAN PLAZA DRIVE, SUITE 400 ARLINGTON, TEXAS 76011-4005 March 2, 2007 Mike Blevins, Senior Vice President TXU Power ATTN: Regulatory Affairs Comanche Peak Steam Electric Station P.O. Box 1002 Glen Rose, TX 76043 and Chief Nuclear Officer

SUBJECT: ANNUAL ASSESSMENT LETTER - COMANCHE PEAK STEAM ELECTRIC STATION (NRC INSPECTION REPORT 05000445/2007001 AND 05000446/2007001)

Dear Mr. Blevins:

On February 8, 2007, the NRC staff completed its performance review of the Comanche Peak Steam Electric Station, Units 1 and 2. Our technical staff reviewed performance indicators for the most recent quarter and inspection results for the period from January 1 through December 31 , 2006. 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 physical protection information. A separate letter designated and marked as "Official Use Only - Security-Related Information" will include the physical protection review and resultant inspection plan. Overall, Comanche Peak Steam Electric Station, Units 1 and 2, operated in a manner that preserved public health and safety and fully met all cornerstone objectives. Plant performance for the most recent quarter, as well as for the first three quarters of the assessment cycle, was within the Licensee Response column of the NRC's Action Matrix, based on all inspection findings being classified as having very low safety significance (Green) and all performance indicators indicating performance at a level requiring no additional NRC oversight (Green). Therefore, we plan to conduct reactor oversight process (ROP) baseline inspections at your facility. The enclosed inspection plan details the inspections, less those related to physical protection scheduled through September 30, 2008.

Included in the plan are those inspections associated with the replacement of the steam generators and the reactor pressure vessel head in Unit 1 scheduled for Spring 2007. 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 9 months of the inspection plan are tentative and may be revised at the midcycle review.

TXU Power -2- In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 of the NRC's "Rules of Practice," 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 NRC's document system (ADAMS). ADAMS is accessible from the NRC Web site at http://www.nrc.qov/readinq-rm/adams.html (the Public Electronic Reading Room). If circumstances arise which cause us to change this inspection plan, we will contact you to discuss the change as soon as possible. Please contact me at (81 7) 860-81 48 with any questions you may have regarding this letter or the inspection plan.

Sincerely,n ca Q Claude E. Johnson,thief Project Branch A Division of Reactor Projects Dockets: 50-445 Licenses: NPF-87 50-446 NPF-89
