SUBJECT:
RIVER BEND STATION - NOTIFICATION OF EVALUATIONS OF CHANGES,
TESTS, AND EXPERIMENTS, AND PERMANENT PLANT MODIFICATIONS
INSPECTION (05000458/2015007) AND REQUEST FOR INFORMATION
Dear Mr. Olson:
The purpose of this letter is to notify you that U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff
will conduct the baseline inspection of changes, tests, experiments, and permanent plant
modifications at your River Bend Station from September 21 through October 9, 2015. The
inspection will consist of four reactor inspectors from the NRCs Region IV office for two weeks.
The inspection will be conducted in accordance with NRC Inspection Procedure 71111.17T,
Evaluations of Changes, Tests, and Experiments and Permanent Plant Modifications.
Experience has shown that this inspection is resource intensive for both 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 September 8, 2015. 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 Kristi Huffstatler of your licensing
organization. If there are any questions about this inspection or the material requested, please
contact the lead inspector, John Dixon, by telephone at 817-200-1434 or by e-mail at
John.Dixon@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.
