SUBJECT:
RIVER BEND STATION - NOTIFICATION OF EVALUATIONS OF CHANGES,
TESTS, AND EXPERIMENTS INSPECTION (INSPECTION
REPORT 05000458/2021001) AND REQUEST FOR INFORMATION
Dear Mr. Vercelli:
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 River Bend Station from March 1 - 5, 2021. 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 February 15, 2021. 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 Bridget Johns of your licensing
organization. If there are any questions about this inspection or the material requested, please
contact the lead inspector, Dustin Reinert, by telephone at 817-200-1534 or by e-mail at
Dustin.Reinert@nrc.gov.
