SUBJECT:
DIABLO CANYON POWER PLANT - NOTIFICATION OF INSPECTION (NRC
INSPECTION REPORT 05000275/05000323/2008004) AND REQUEST FOR
INFORMATION
Dear Mr. Conway:
From September 2-12, 2008, Reactor Inspectors from the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commissions
Region IV office will perform the baseline inspection of changes, tests, experiments, and
permanent plant modifications at Diablo Canyon Power Plant, using NRC Inspection
Procedure 71111.17, Evaluations of Changes, Tests, Experiments, and Permanent Plant
Modifications.
Experience has shown that this inspection is resource intensive both for the NRC inspectors
and your staff. In order to minimize the impact to your onsite resources and to ensure a
productive inspection, we have enclosed a request for documents needed for this inspection.
We request these documents be provided to us by August 11, 2008. Upon review of these
documents, the inspectors will select additional documentation for review upon arrival. It is
important that all of these documents are up to date and complete in order to minimize the
number of additional documents requested during the preparation and/or the onsite portions of
the inspection.
We have discussed the schedule for these inspection activities with your staff and understand
that our regulatory contact for this inspection will be Mr. Mike McCoy of your licensing
organization. If there are any questions about this inspection or the material requested, please
contact the lead inspector Lee Ellershaw at (817) 860-8127 (Lee.Ellershaw@nrc.gov).
