SUBJECT: ANNUAL ASSESSMENT LETTER FOR BEAVER VALLEY POWER STATION, UNIT NOS. 1 AND 2 (REPORT 05000334/2015006 AND 05000412/2015006)

Dear Mr. Richey:

On February 9, 2016, the U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed its end-of-cycle performance review of Beaver Valley Power Station, Unit Nos. 1 and 2. The NRC reviewed the most recent quarterly performance indicators (PIs) in addition to inspection results and enforcement actions from January 1, 2015, through December 31, 2015. This letter informs inspections at your facility. The NRC determined that overall, Beaver Valley Power Station, Unit Nos. 1 and 2, operated in a manner that preserved public health and safety and met all cornerstone objectives. The NRC determined the performance at Beaver Valley Power Station, Unit Nos. 1 and 2 during the most recent quarter was within the Licensee Response Column of the NRCs 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, 2017. Routine inspections performed by resident inspectors are not included in the inspection plan. In addition to baseline inspections, the NRC will perform Inspection Procedure (IP) 60855.1, Operation of an ISFSI Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation at Operating Plants 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 discuss 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 response to the accident at Fukushima, the Commission issued Order EA-12-Modifying Licenses with Regard to Requirements for Mitigation Strategies for Beyond-Design-guidance and strategies to maintain or restore core cooling, containment, and spent fuel pool cooling capabilities following a beyond-design-basis external event. Additionally, the Commission issued Order EA-12- remotely monitoring wide-range Spent Fuel Pool levels to support effective prioritization of event mitigation and recovery actions in the event of a beyond-design-basis external event. The NRC is conducting audits of licensee efforts towards compliance with these Orders. The audit was completed for Beaver Valley Power Station Unit Nos. 1 and 2, and the information gathered will aid staff in development of the Final Safety Evaluation for the site. After the NRC staff receives the Final Compliance letter for the site, the Final Safety Evaluation will be issued. Then, the NRC staff will confirm through inspections the full implementation of the orders mentioned above by performing TI 2515- and Spent Fuel Pool Instrumentation Orders and Emergency Preparedness Communications/Staffing/Multi- In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 of the NRCs 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 document 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/ Silas R. Kennedy, Chief Projects Branch 6 Division of Reactor Projects Docket Nos. 50-334 and 50-412 License Nos. DPR-66 and NPF-73
