SUBJECT:

VISTRA OPERATIONS COMPANY, LLC - NOTIFICATION OF LICENSE RENEWAL INSPECTION AND REQUEST FOR INFORMATION (05000445/2023012 and 05000446/2023012)

Dear Ken. Peters:

During the weeks of September 11 and September 25, 2023, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) will begin a license renewal inspection at your facility. Six inspectors will perform this two-week inspection in accordance with NRC Inspection Procedure 71002, License Renewal Inspection. This inspection focuses on aging management activities to verify that the applicant: (1) identified non-safety-related structures, systems, and components for inclusion within their aging management programs; (2) established aging management program for managing the effects of aging; and (3) ensured aging management programs accurately reflected requirements consistent with in the Generic Aging Lessons Learned Report (GALL Report)

To minimize the inspection impact on the site and to ensure a productive inspection for both parties, we have enclosed a request for information needed for the inspection. It is important that all these documents are up to date and complete to minimize the number of additional documents requested during the preparation and/or the on-site portions of the inspection.

Please provide this information electronically to the lead inspector. The information request has two groups:

The first group lists information necessary for our initial inspection scoping and in-office preparation activities. During the in-office preparation activities, the team will identify as much as possible the information and activities to be reviewed during the inspection.

This information should be provided to the lead inspector by August 21.

The second group includes additional information required for the team to review the selected activities. This information should be available to the team by the first day of the inspection. It is also requested that corrective action documents and/or questions developed during the inspection be provided to the lead inspector as the documents are generated.

K. Peters 2 The schedule for the inspection is as follows:

Offsite Preparation Week: September 5 - September 8, 2023 Onsite Inspection Weeks: September 11-15 & September 25-29, 2023 PAPERWORK REDUCTION ACT STATEMENT This letter contains mandatory information collections that are subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.). The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approved these information collections (approval number 3150-0011). Send comments regarding this information collection to the Information Services Branch, Office of the Chief Information Officer, Mail Stop: T6 A10M, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555-0001, or by e-mail to Infocollects.Resource@nrc.gov, and to the Desk Officer, Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, NEOB-10202, (3150-0011) Office of Management and Budget, Washington, DC 20503.

PUBLIC PROTECTION NOTIFICATION The NRC may not conduct nor 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 OMB control number.

This letter, its enclosure, and your response (if any) will be made available for public inspection and copying at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html and at the NRC Public Document Room in accordance with Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations 2.390, Public Inspections, Exemptions, Requests for Withholding.

Electronic format is the preferred media, preferably in a searchable format. Electronic media should contain descriptive names and be indexed and hyperlinked to facilitate ease of use. Information in lists should contain enough information to be easily understood by someone who has knowledge of light water reactor technology. If electronic media is made available via an internet based remote document management system, then the remote document access must allow inspectors to download, save, and print the documents in the NRC's office. Electronic media on compact disc or paper records (hard copy) are acceptable. At the end of the inspection, the documents in the team's possession will not be retained.
