SUBJECT: CALLAWAY PLANT, UNIT 1 - NOTIFICATION OF EVALUATIONS OF

CHANGES, TESTS, OR EXPERIMENTS, AND PERMANENT PLANT

MODIFICATIONS INSPECTION (INSPECTION REPORT 05000483/2013005)

AND REQUEST FOR INFORMATION

Dear Mr. Heflin:

From September 30 - October 11, 2013, reactor inspectors from NRCs Region IV office will

perform the baseline inspection of changes, tests, experiments, and permanent plant

modifications at your Callaway Plant, Unit 1, 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 Steve Petzel 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.

A. Heflin -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

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-
