SUBJECT:
RIVER BEND STATION - NOTIFICATION OF EVALUATIONS OF CHANGES,
TESTS, AND EXPERIMENTS INSPECTION (05000458/2018003) AND
REQUEST FOR INFORMATION
Dear Mr. Maguire:
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, and experiments at your River Bend
Station from September 10 through September 14, 2018. 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 August 27, 2018. 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 and understand
that our regulatory contact for this inspection will be Ms. Bridget Johns of your licensing
organization. If there are any questions about this inspection or the material requested, please
contact the lead inspector, Ronald Kopriva, by telephone at 817-200-1104 or by e-mail at
Ron.Kopriva@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.
