SUBJECT: NOTIFICATION OF H.B. ROBINSON STEAM ELECTRIC PLANT -

COMPONENT DESIGN BASES INSPECTION - NRC INSPECTION REPORT

05000261/2013007

Dear Mr. Gideon:

The purpose of this letter is to notify you that the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC)

Region II staff will conduct a component design bases inspection (CDBI) at your H.B. Robinson

Steam Electric Plant Unit 2 during the weeks of April 08 - 12, April 22 - 26, and May 13 - 17,

2013. The inspection team will be led by Jason Eargle, a Senior Reactor Inspector from the

NRC's Region II Office. This inspection will be conducted in accordance with the baseline

inspection procedure, Procedure 71111.21, Component Design Bases Inspection, issued

August 14, 2012.

The inspection will evaluate the capability of risk significant/low margin components to function

as designed and to support proper system operation. The inspection will also include a review

of selected operator actions, operating experience, and modifications.

During a telephone conversation on November 19, 2012, Mr. Eargle confirmed with Michael

Pastva of your staff, arrangements for an information-gathering site visit and the three-week

onsite inspection. The schedule is as follows:

  • Information-gathering visit: Week of March 18 - 22, 2013
  • Onsite weeks: April 08 - 12, April 22 - 26, and May 13 - 17, 2013

The purpose of the information-gathering visit is to meet with members of your staff to identify

risk-significant components and operator actions. Information and documentation needed to

support the inspection will also be identified. Mr. George MacDonald, a Region II Senior

Reactor Analyst, will support Mr. Eargle during the information-gathering visit to review

probabilistic risk assessment data and identify risk significant components, which will be

examined during the inspection.

The Enclosure lists documents that will be needed prior to the information-gathering visit.

Please provide the referenced information to the Region II office by February 18, 2013. The

W. Gideon 2

inspectors will try to minimize your administrative burden by specifically identifying only those

documents required for inspection preparation.

Additional documents will be requested during the information-gathering visit. The additional

information will need to be made available to the team in the Region II office prior to the

inspection teams preparation week of April 1. Mr. Eargle, will also discuss the following

inspection support administrative details: (1) availability of knowledgeable plant engineering and

licensing personnel to serve as points of contact during the inspection, (2) method of tracking

inspector requests during the inspection, (3) licensee computer access, (4) working space, (5)

arrangements for site access, and (6) other applicable information.

In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 of the NRC's "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-

rm/adams.html (the Public Electronic Reading Room).

Thank you for your cooperation in this matter. If you have any questions regarding the

information requested or the inspection, please contact Mr. Eargle at 404-997-4632 or me

at 404-997-4530.

Sincerely,

/RA/
