PERMANENT PLANT MODIFICATIONS INSPECTION (INSPECTION
REPORT 05000528, 529, 530/2014003) AND REQUEST FOR INFORMATION
Dear Mr. Edington:
From June 16-27, 2014, reactor inspectors from NRC's Region IV office will perform the baseline inspection of changes, tests, experiments, and permanent plant modifications at the Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station, using NRC Inspection Procedure 71111.17,
"Evaluations of Changes, Tests, or Experiments and Permanent Plant Modifications."
Experience has shown that this
inspection is resource intens
ive both for the NRC inspectors and your staff. In order to minimize the impact to your onsite resources and to ensure a
productive inspection, we have enclosed a request for documents needed for this inspection.
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/or the
onsite 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 Heckman of your licensing organization. If there are any questions about this inspection or the material requested, please contact the lead inspector, Wayne Sifre, by telephone at 817-200-1193 or by e-mail at
Wayne.Sifre@nrc.gov.
