INFORMATION

Dear Mr. Bement:

The purpose of this letter is to notify you that U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff

will conduct a triennial heat sink performance inspection at your Palo Verde Nuclear Generating

Station from November 5 - 9, 2018. The inspection will consist of two reactor inspectors from

the NRCs Region IV office for one week. The inspection will be conducted in accordance with

NRC Inspection Procedure 71111, Attachment 07, Heat Sink Performance.

Experience has shown that this inspection is resource intensive 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.

Please note that the documents are requested to be provided by October 29, 2018. Also,

appropriate personnel knowledgeable of heat exchangers should be available to support the

inspectors at the site during the inspection.

We have discussed the schedule for this inspection activity with your staff and understand that

our regulatory contact for this inspection will be Lorraine Weaver of your licensing organization.

If there are any questions about this inspection or the material requested, please contact the

lead inspector, Chris Smith, by telephone at 817-200-1095 or by e-mail at Chris.Smith@nrc.gov.

This letter does not contain new or amended information collection requirements subject to the

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.). Existing information collection

requirements were approved by the Office of Management and Budget, control number 3150-

0011. The NRC may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a

request for information or an information collection requirement unless the requesting document

displays a currently valid Office of Management and Budget control number.

In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 of the NRCs Agency Rules of Practice and Procedure, a

copy of this letter and its enclosure will be available electronically for public inspection in the

NRC Public Document Room or from the Publicly Available Records (PARS) component of
