SUBJECT:
WATERFORD STEAM ELECTRIC STATION, UNIT 3 - NOTIFICATION OF EVALUATIONS OF CHANGES, TESTS, OR EXPERIMENTS, AND PERMANENT PLANT MODIFICATIONS INSPECTION (INSPECTION REPORT 05000382/2013003) AND REQUEST FOR INFORMATION
Dear Ms. Jacobs:
From April 8-19, 2013, reactor inspectors from NRCs Region IV office will perform the baseline inspection of changes, tests, experiments, and permanent plant modifications at your Waterford Steam Electric Station, Unit 3, using NRC Inspection Procedure 71111.17, Evaluations of Changes, Tests, or 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 Mike Mason of your licensing organization.
If there are any questions about this inspection or the material requested, please contact the lead inspector, Gerond George, by telephone at 817-200-1562 or by e-mail at Gerond.George@nrc.gov.
D. Jacobs 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-rm/adams.html (the Public Electronic Reading Room).
Sincerely,
