SUBJECT: COMANCHE PEAK NUCLEAR POWER PLANT - NOTIFICATION OF
EVALUATIONS OF CHANGES, TESTS, AND EXPERIMENTS INSPECTION
(05000445/2019001 and 05000446/2019001) 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 January 14 to January 18,
2019. 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 January 7, 2019. 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 Ken Vehstedt of your licensing organization.
If there are any questions about this inspection or the material requested, please contact the
lead inspector, Wayne Sifre, by telephone at 817-200-1193 or by e-mail at
Wayne.Sifre@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.
