SUBJECT: COOPER NUCLEAR STATION - NOTIFICATION OF TI-186 INSPECTION

(NRC INSPECTION REPORT 05000298/2013405) AND REQUEST FOR

INFORMATION

Dear Mr. Limpias:

From June 25 to June 27, 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 Ms. LuAnn Bray of your licensing

organization. If there are any questions about this inspection or the material requested, please

contact the lead inspector, 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.

O. Limpias -2-

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
