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.
