SUBJECT:
GRAND GULF NUCLEAR STATION, UNIT 1 - NOTIFICATION OF
EVALUATIONS OF CHANGES, TESTS, AND EXPERIMENTS INSPECTION
(05000416/2018004) AND REQUEST FOR INFORMATION
Dear Mr. Larson:
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 Grand Gulf Nuclear Station, Unit 1 from December 10-14, 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 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 November 26, 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
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 Mr. R. Meister 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 requesting document
displays a currently valid Office of Management and Budget control number.
In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 of the NRCs Agency Rules of Practice and Procedure, 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
