Mr. Jack Senior Vice President and

Chief Nuclear Officer Detroit Edison Company Fermi 2 - 210 NOC 6400 North Dixie Highway Newport, MI 48166

SUBJECT: ANNUAL ASSESSMENT LETTER - FERMI POWER PLANT, UNIT 2 (05000341/2010001)

Dear Mr. Davis:

On February 10, 2010, the NRC staff completed its performance review of Fermi Power Plant, Unit 2. Our technical staff reviewed performance indicators (PIs) for the most recent quarter and inspection results for the period from January 1 through December 31, 2009. 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.

Overall, Fermi Unit 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 PIs indicating performance at a level requiring no additional NRC

oversight (Green). Therefore, we plan to condu ct reactor oversight process (ROP) baseline inspections at your facility. We also plan on conducting several special and infrequently performed inspection procedures (IPs) which include: IP 60854.1, "Preoperational Testing of Independent Spent Fuel Storage Facility Installations at Operating Plants"; IP 60855.1,

"Operation of an Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation at Operating Plants"; IP 92702,

"Follow-up on Traditional Enforcement Actions In cluding Violations, Deviations, Confirmatory Action Letters, Confirmatory Orders, and Alternative Dispute Resolution Confirmatory Orders"; and IP 92709, "Licensee Strike Contingency Plans." The enclosed inspection plan details the inspections, less those related to physical protection, scheduled through June 30, 2011. 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 end-of-cycle review.

In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 of the NRC

=s A 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.gov/reading-rm/adams.html (the Public Electronic Reading Room).

If circumstances arise which cause us to change the inspection plan, we will contact you to discuss the change as soon as possible. Please contact me at 630-829-9619 with any questions you may have regarding this letter or the inspection plan.

Sincerely,/RA/ John B. Giessner, Chief
