SUBJECT:
PALO VERDE NUCLEAR GENERATING STATION, UNIT 2 - NOTIFICATION
OF POST-APPROVAL SITE INSPECTION FOR LICENSE RENEWAL AND
REQUEST FOR INFORMATION INSPECTION (05000529/2024011)
Dear Adam. Heflin:
On October 21, 2024, the U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) will begin a Post-
Approval Site Inspection for License Renewal for your facility. Two inspectors will perform this
one week inspection in accordance with NRC Inspection Procedure 71003. This inspection
focuses on activities associated with license renewal implementation of aging management
programs, regulatory commitments, as well as any tests or inspections of structures, systems,
or components which are only accessible at reduced power levels.
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 October 14, 2024.
The second group includes additional information required for the team to review the
selected activities. This information should be available to the team on October 21, 2024. 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.
The schedule for the inspection is as follows:
Offsite Preparation Week: October 14 - 18, 2024
Onsite Inspection Week: October 21 - 25, 2024

Inspection Procedure:
IP 71003 Post-Approval Site Inspection for License
Renewal
The documents and information requested below should generally be made available to the
inspection team for the team's use both on-site and off-site. 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 regional 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.
This document request is based on typical documents that a generic plant might have. As such,
this document request is not meant to imply that any specific plant is required to have all of the
listed documents. In addition, your plant specific document titles may vary from the document
titles listed below. We also request that the information provided be sorted by the list below.
I.
Documents requested prior to on-site inspection October 14, 2024 (Week Prior to

management programs. Include the completion status of each. For those not yet
complete, please provide an estimated completion date.

document for each, and a listing of the tracking items for each.

For aging management programs that are one-time inspection programs, provide a list of

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, that provide observations of 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
that will need to be reviewed.
