(05000275/2017002

AND 05000323/2017002) AND REQUEST FOR INFORMATION

Dear Mr. Halpin:

The purpose of this letter is to notify you that

U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff will conduct the baseline inspection of evaluations of changes, tests, and experiments at your Diablo Canyon Power Plant, Units 1 and 2, from June 19-23, 2017. The inspection will consist of three reactor inspectors from the NRC's 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."

Experience has shown that this

inspection is resource intens

ive for both the NRC inspectors and your staff. In order to minimize the impact to your on-site resources and to ensure a productive inspection, we have enclosed a request for documents needed for this inspection.

Please note that the documents are requested to

be provided by June 12, 2017. Upon review of these documents, the inspectors will select additional documentation for review upon arrival. 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 the on-site 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 David Madsen of your licensing organization. If there are any questions about this inspection or the material requested, please contact the lead inspector, Gerond A. Geor

ge, by telephone at 817-200-1562 or by e-mail at Gerond.George@nrc.gov.
