SUBJECT:
CALLAWAY PLANT - NOTIFICATION OF INSPECTION (NRC INSPECTION
REPORT 05000483/2011005) AND REQUEST FOR INFORMATION
Dear Mr. Heflin:
From June 20 to 24, 2011, operations engineers from the Nuclear Regulatory
Commissions (NRC) Region IV office will be onsite as part of performing the baseline biennial
requalification inspection at the Callaway Plant, using NRC Inspection Procedure 71111.11B,
Licensed Operator Requalification Program. Experience has shown that this inspection is a
resource intensive inspection both for the NRC examiners 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. These documents have been divided into two
groups. The first group (Section A of the enclosure) identified information to be provided prior to
the inspection to ensure that the examiners are adequately prepared. The second group
(Section B of the enclosure) identifies the information the examiners will need upon arrival at the
site. 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. Scott Maglio of your licensing
organization. Our inspection dates are subject to change based on your updated schedule of
examination activities. If there are any questions about this inspection or the material
requested, please contact the lead examiner Mr. Sean Hedger at (817) 276-6556
(Sean.Hedger@nrc.gov) or Mr. Gabriel Apger at (817) 276-6508 (Gabriel.Apger@nrc.gov).
This letter does not contain new or amended information collection requirements subject to the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.). Existing information collection
requirements were approved by the Office of Management and Budget, control number 3150-
0018. The NRC may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a
request for information or an information collection requirement unless the requesting document
displays a currently valid Office of Management and Budget control number.
