SUBJECT: COMANCHE PEAK NUCLEAR POWER PLANT - NOTIFICATION OF NRC
EVALUATIONS OF CHANGES, TESTS AND EXPERIMENTS INSPECTION
(05000445/2022003 AND 05000446/2022003) 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 and experiments at your Comanche Peak
Nuclear Power Plant from September 19 - 23, 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 September 6, 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 Gary Merka of your Regulatory Affairs
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.
