SUBJECT: COMANCHE PEAK NUCLEAR POWER PLANT - NOTIFICATION OF
EVALUATIONS OF CHANGES, TESTS, AND EXPERIMENTS, AND
PERMANENT PLANT MODIFICATIONS INSPECTION (05000445/2016007 AND
05000446/2016007) AND REQUEST FOR INFORMATION
Dear Mr. Peters:
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 Comanche Peak Nuclear Power Plant, from September 12, 2016, to
September 30, 2016. The inspection will consist of three reactor inspectors from the NRCs
Region IV office for two on-site 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 on-site 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 2, 2016. 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
on-site portions of the inspection.
We have discussed the schedule for these inspection activities with your staff. If there are any
questions about this inspection or the material requested, please contact the lead inspector,
Gerond A. George, by telephone at 817-200-1562 or by e-mail at Gerond.George@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.
