SUBJECT:
PALO VERDE NUCLEAR GENERATING STATION - NOTIFICATION OF TI-186
INSPECTION (NRC INSPECTION REPORT 05000528, 529, 530/2013406) AND
REQUEST FOR INFORMATION
Dear Mr. Edington:
From May 21 to May 23, 2013, inspectors from the Nuclear Regulatory Commissions (NRC)
Region IV office will be onsite to perform the Temporary Instruction (TI)-186, Inspection of
Procedures and Processes for Responding to Potential Aircraft Threats. 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. 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. Also, in order to
demonstrate compliance with TI-186, we ask that you have the necessary staff members
available to the inspection team to assist in any plant walk-throughs, interviews, and/or
simulator demonstrations.
We have discussed the schedule for these inspection activities with your staff and understand
that our regulatory contact for this inspection will be Mr. Dan Hautala of your licensing
organization. If there are any questions about this inspection or the material requested, please
contact the lead inspector Sean Hedger at (817) 200-1556 (Sean.Hedger@nrc.gov) or Gabriel
Apger (Gabriel.Apger@nrc.gov).
This letter does not contain new or amended information collection requirements subject
to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.). Existing information
collection requirements were approved by the Office of Management and Budget, control
number 3150-0011. The NRC may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to
respond to, a request for information or an information collection requirement unless the
requesting document displays a currently valid Office of Management and Budget control
number.

Document Request:
Procedure(s) that describe actions taken to address potential aircraft threat
notifications onsite. This may include procedures that operations, security,
emergency preparedness, and health physics staff use.

address this issue in your procedures. Such analyses were described for support of
site actions in the topical Regulatory Guide 1.214 (dated January 2009).
Training materials used to train the various affected groups when contacted with a
potential aircraft threat (licensed operators, operators in training for a license, non-

If the site has conducted exercises or drills to evaluate the ability of staff to
implement these procedures in the past, provide any documentation summarizing
the results of these events. If any condition reports came out of the exercises/drills,
provide those as well.
