SUBJECT:
COLUMBIA GENERATING STATION - NOTIFICATION OF NRC 95002
SUPPLEMENTAL INSPECTION (NRC INSPECTION REPORT
05000397/2013009) AND REQUEST FOR INFORMATION
Dear Mr. Reddemann:
The purpose of this letter is to notify you that the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC)
Region IV staff will conduct a supplemental inspection for one degraded cornerstone at your
facility. The inspection will be comprised of five reactor inspectors from the NRC Region IV
office. The inspection will be conducted in accordance with Inspection Procedure 95002,
"Inspection for One Degraded Cornerstone or any Three White Inputs in a Strategic
Performance Area."
The inspection will include one week of onsite inspection and one week of in-office preparation.
The current inspection schedule is as follows:
Preparation week:
March 11-15, 2013
Onsite week:
March 18-22, 2013
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.
Please note that the documents are requested to be provided by March 1, 2013. 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. Rick Garcia of your licensing
organization. If there are any questions about this inspection or the material requested, please
contact the lead inspector Tony Brown at 623-386-3638 or by email Tony.Brown@nrc.gov.
This letter does not contain new or amended information collection requirements subject to the
