SUBJECT: DIABLO CANYON POWER PLANT, UNITS 1 AND 2 - NOTIFICATION OF

EVALUATIONS OF CHANGES, TESTS, AND EXPERIMENTS INSPECTION

(05000275/2017002 AND 05000323/2017002) AND REQUEST FOR

INFORMATION

Dear Mr. Halpin:

The purpose of this letter is to notify you that U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff

will conduct the baseline inspection of evaluations of changes, tests, and experiments at your

Diablo Canyon Power Plant, Units 1 and 2, from June 19-23, 2017. The inspection will consist

of three reactor inspectors from the NRCs Region IV office for one week. The inspection will be

conducted in accordance with NRC Inspection Procedure 71111.17T, Evaluations of Changes,

Tests, and Experiments.

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 June 12, 2017. 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 the on-site 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 David Madsen of your licensing

organization. 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

E. Halpin 2

requesting document displays a currently valid Office of Management and Budget control

number.

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-

rm/adams.html (the Public Electronic Reading Room).
