First Six-Month Status Report in

Response

to March 12. 2012 Commission Order Modifvins Licenses with Resard to Reliable Spent Fuel Pool Instrumentation (Order Number EA-12-051)

(TAC Nos. MF0799,

MF0800, MF0960, and MF0802)

On March 12,2012, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC or Commission) issued an order (Reference

1) to FENOC. Reference 1 was immediately effective and directs FENOC to have a reliable indication of the water level in associated spent fuel storage pools. Specific requirements are outlined in Attachment 2 of Reference 1.

Reference 1 required submission of an initial status report 60 days following issuance of the final interim staff guidance (Reference

2) and an overall integrated plan pursuant to Section lV, Condition C. Reference2 endorses industry guidance document Nuclear Energy Institute (NEl) 12-02, Revision 1 (Reference
3) with clarifications and exceptions identified in Reference
2. Reference 4 provided the FENOC initial status report regarding requirements for reliable spent fuel pool instrumentation.

Reference 5

provided the FENOC overall integrated plan for Beaver Valley Power Station, Unit Nos. 1 and 2 (BVPS), Davis-Besse Nuclear Power Station (DBNPS),

and Perry Nuclear Power Plant (PNPP).

Reference 1 requires submission of a status report at six-month intervals following submittal of the overall integrated plan. Reference 3 provides direction regarding the content of the status reports. The purpose of this letter is to provide the first six-month

Beaver Valley Power Station, Unit Nos. 1 and 2 Davis-Besse Nuclear Power Station Perry Nuclear Power Plant L-13-244 Page 2 status report pursuant to Section lV, Condition C.2, of Reference 1, that delineates progress made in implementing the requirements of Reference

1. The attached reports for BVPS, DBNPS, and PNPP (Attachments 1, 2, and 3, respectively) provide an update of milestone accomplishments since the last status report, including any changes to the compfiance method, schedule, or need for relieflrelaxation and the basis, if any.

This letter contains no new regulatory commitments.

lf you have any questions regarding this report, please contact Mr. Thomas A. Lentz, Manager - Fleet Licensing, at 330-315-6810.

I declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct. Executed on August a6,2013.
