SUBJECT:
RIVER BEND STATION - NOTIFICATION OF POST-APPROVAL SITE
INSPECTION FOR LICENSE RENEWAL AND REQUEST FOR INFORMATION
Dear Phil Hansett:
During the weeks of May 5, 2025, and May 19, 2025, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission
(NRC) will begin a Post-Approval Site Inspection, Phase 2, for License Renewal for your facility.
Four inspectors will perform this two-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.
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. This
information should be made available either in an online repository (preferred) or digital media
(CD/DVD) and delivered/available to the regional office no later than the dates shown below.
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 April 14, 2025.
The second group includes additional information required for the team to review the
selected activities. This information should be available to the team on May 5, 2025. 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. If using an
online document repository to communicate with the team it is recommended to create
two separate folders, one for corrective action documents created in response to the
teams questions and one for corrective action documents requested by the team.

May 19 - 23, 2025

Inspection Procedure:
IP 71003 Post-Approval Site Inspection for License
Renewal Phase 2
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 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.
