SUBJECT: SAN ONOFRE NUCLEAR GENERATING STATION - NOTIFICATION OF

INSPECTION (50-361; 50-362/2009004) AND REQUEST FOR INFORMATION

Dear Mr. Ridenoure:

From August 24 through September 4, 2009, Reactor Inspectors from NRCs Region IV office

will perform the baseline inspection of changes, tests, experiments, and permanent plant

modifications at San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station, using NRC 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 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 Dave Axline of your licensing organization.

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

lead inspector Shiattin Makor at 817-276-6507 or by email shiattin.makor@nrc.gov.
