SUBJECT:
COOPER NUCLEAR STATION - NOTIFICATION OF NRC EVALUATIONS OF
CHANGES, TESTS AND EXPERIMENTS INSPECTION 05000298/2022002
AND REQUEST FOR INFORMATION
Dear Mr. Dent:
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 Cooper Nuclear
Station from June 13-17, 2022. 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, dated
December 8, 2016.
Experience has shown that this inspection is resource intensive for both the NRC inspectors
and your staff. To minimize the impact to your onsite resources and to ensure a productive
inspection, we have enclosed a request for information needed for this inspection. Please note
that the documents are requested to be provided by May 30, 2022. Upon review of these
documents, the inspectors will select additional documentation for review upon arrival. It is
important that all 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 Mark Unruh of your Licensing organization.
If there are any questions about this inspection or the material requested, please contact the
lead inspector, Wes Cullum, by telephone at 817-200-1563 or by e-mail at wes.cullum@nrc.gov.
