SUBJECT: SAN ONOFRE NUCLEAR GENERATING STATION - NOTIFICATION OF

INSPECTION (NRC INSPECTION REPORT 05000361/2012003 AND

05000362/2012003) AND REQUEST FOR INFORMATION

Dear Mr. Dietrich:

From June 18-29, 2012, Reactor Inspectors from NRCs Region IV office will perform the

baseline inspection of changes, tests, experiments, and permanent plant modifications at

San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station, Units 2 and 3, 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.

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. David Axline of your licensing

organization. If there are any questions about this inspection or the material requested, please

contact the lead inspector, Mr. Ron Kopriva, at 817-200-1104 or by email at

Ron.Kopriva@nrc.gov.

P. Dietrich -2-

In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 of the NRCs Rules of Practice, a copy of this letter and its

enclosure will be 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-
