Dear Mr. Edington:
From January 31, 2011 through February 11, 2011, Reactor Inspectors from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission's Region IV office will perform the baseline inspection of changes, tests, experiments, and permanent plant modifications at Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station, Units 1, 2, and 3, facility, using Nuclear Regulatory Commission Inspection Procedure 71111.17, "Evaluations of Changes, Tests, Experiments, and Permanent Plant Modifications."
Experience has shown that this inspection is resource intensive both for the Nuclear Regulatory Commission 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
Jorge Rodriguez
of your licensing organization. If there are any questions about this inspection or the material requested, please contact the lead inspector Ronald A. Kopriva at (817) 860-8104 or by email ron.kopriva@nrc.gov. UNITED STATESNUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSIONREGION IV612 EAST LAMAR BLVD, SUITE 400ARLINGTON, TEXAS 76011-4125
