SUBJECT:
MID-CYCLE PERFORMANCE REVIEW AND INSPECTION PLAN -
BEAVER VALLEY POWER STATION
Dear Mr. Pearce:
On August 5, 2004, the NRC staff completed its mid-cycle plant performance review of the Beaver Valley Power Station, Units 1 and 2 (Beaver Valley). The mid-cycle review for Beaver Valley involved the participation of all technical divisions in evaluating performance for the first half of the calendar year 2004 assessment cycle. The process included a review of performance indicators (PIs) for the most recent quarter and inspection results over the previous twelve months. The purpose of this letter is to inform you of our assessment of your safety performance and our plans for future inspections at your facility so that you will have an opportunity to prepare for these inspections and to inform us of any planned inspections that may conflict with your plant activities.
This performance review and enclosed inspection plan do not include physical protection information. A separate letter designated and marked as "Proprietary Information in accordance with 10 CFR 2.390(d)(1)" will include the physical protection review and resultant inspection plan.
Plant performance for the most recent quarter was within the Licensee Response Column of the NRCs 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 conduct only baseline inspections at your facility through March 31, 2006.
The enclosed inspection plan details the inspections, less those related to physical protection, scheduled through March 31, 2006. The plan contains an inspection using Temporary Instruction (TI) 2515/159 Review of Generic Letter 89-13, Service Water System Problems Affecting Safety-Related Equipment. This TI is in response to the Davis-Besse Reactor Vessel Head Degradation Lessons-Learned Task Force and is being performed at a sampling of nuclear power plants across the country. The inspection plan is provided to minimize the resource impact on your staff, and to allow for scheduling conflicts and personnel availability to be resolved in advance of inspector arrival onsite. Routine resident inspections are not listed due to their ongoing and continuous nature. The inspections in the last six months of the inspection plan are tentative and may be revised at the end-of-cycle review meeting.
In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 of the NRCs Rules of Practice, a copy of this letter and its enclosure will be made available electronically for public inspection in the NRC Public Document

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 (610) 337-5234 with any questions you may have regarding this letter or the inspection plan.
