Dear Mr. Douet:
On February 1-12, 2010 Reactor Inspectors from NRCs Region IV office will perform the
baseline inspection of changes, tests, experiments, and permanent plant modifications at Grand
Gulf Nuclear Station, using NRC Inspection Procedure 71111.17, Evaluations of Changes,
Tests, Experiments, and Permanent Plant Modifications, and NRC Inspection

The information for NRC Inspection Procedure 71111.07 has been received, reference letter
Grand Gulf Document Request for Module 71111.07T, Heat Sink Performance, November 2,
2009.
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.
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 Dennis Coulter of your licensing
organization. If there are any questions about this inspection or the material requested, please
contact the lead inspector Wayne Sifre at 817-860-8193 or by email wayne.sifre@nrc.gov.
