SUBJECT:
SOUTH TEXAS PROJECT ELECTRIC GENERATING STATION, UNIT 1 -
REQUEST FOR INFORMATION FOR AN NRC POST-APPROVAL SITE INSPECTION FOR LICENSE RENEWAL
Dear Kimberly Harshaw:
On October 28, 2024, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) will begin a Post-Approval Site Inspection for License Renewal for Unit 1. Two inspectors will perform this 1-week inspection in accordance with NRC Inspection Procedure 71003. This inspection will focus on outage related activities to verify that license conditions added as part of your renewed license and a sample of license renewal commitments have been implemented.
To minimize the inspection impact on the site and to ensure a productive inspection for both parties, we have enclosed a request for information for the inspection. 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 on-site portions of the inspection.
Insofar as possible this information should be provided electronically to the lead inspector. This information request has been divided into 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. Please provide this information by September 30, 2024.
- The second group lists the additional information required for the team to review the selected activities. Please provide this information to the team when they arrive on-site October 28, 2024. It is also requested that corrective action documents and/or questions developed during the inspection be provided to the team as the documents are generated.
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 and its enclosure 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 10 CFR 2.390, Public Inspections, Exemptions, Requests for Withholding.
The lead inspector for this inspection is Chris Smith. We understand that our licensing contact for this inspection is Chris Warren of your organization.

DATE 09/11/24 09/11/24 Post-Approval Site Inspection for License Renewal Request for Information
I. Information Requested Prior to the On-site Inspection - required by September 30, 2024
The documents and information requested below should generally be made available to the team prior to the inspection. Electronic format is the preferred format, except where specifically noted. If electronic files are made available via a secure document management service, then the remote document access must allow inspectors to download, save, and print the documents.
If a secure document management service is utilized, it is recommended that a separate folder be used corresponding to each item listed below. It is recommended that multiple documents within each folder be individually entered and for folders with ten or more documents place them into a ZIP file uploaded into the same folder. Documents should be identified by both document number and descriptive noun name.
- 1. Provide a list of your license renewal commitments associated with appropriate aging management programs. Include the completion status of each. For those not yet complete, please provide an estimated completion date.
- 2. Provide a list of your aging management programs, copies of the program basis document for each and/or any associated plant program. Please include a listing of the action tracking items for each.
- 3. For aging management programs that are one-time inspection programs, provide a list of completed work order numbers for inspections that have been completed. This should include identification of the inspected component.
- 4. Provide a listing of planned inspections that will be conducted during the onsite week, credited for license renewal. This provides the team the ability to observe activities and areas that are generally inaccessible at power (e.g., containment liner and containment coating inspections). If there are no inspections planned, the inspectors will select areas normally inaccessible to tour.
- 5. Provide current management and license renewal organizational charts, as well as contact information for aging management program owners and the license renewal project staff.
- 6. Provide electronic copies of updated final safety analysis report, technical specifications, technical specifications bases, and technical requirements manual.
- 7. Provide copies of any internal/external self-assessments and associated corrective action documents generated in preparation for the inspection.
Enclosure II. Information Requested to be Available When the Inspectors Arrive On-Site on October 28, 2024
- 1. Copies of the work orders requested during the preparation week related to the selected commitments/aging management programs. This will include work orders of inspections to be observed and completed work orders to be reviewed by the team.
- 2. Contact information to facilitate inspector observation of the selected work activities or evaluation of inaccessible areas.
- 3. Documentation demonstrating completion of license renewal commitments considered completed as of the inspection date. For example, this may be in the form of a binder for each commitment that includes the implementing documentation and references.
III. Information Requested to be Provided Throughout the Inspection
- 1. Copies of any corrective action documents generated as a result of the teams questions or queries during this inspection.
- 2. Copies of the list of questions submitted by the team members and the status/resolution of the information requested (provide daily during the inspection to each team member).
If you have questions regarding the information requested, please contact the lead inspector.
