| | PERMANENT PLANT MODIFICATIONS INSPECTION (05000498/2015007 and 05000499/2015007) AND REQUEST FOR INFORMATION Dear Mr. Koehl: |
| | |
| | The purpose of this letter is to notify you that U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff will conduct the baseline inspection of changes, tests, experiments, and permanent plant |
| | modifications at your South Texas Project, Units 1 and 2, from June 1-5, 2015, and June 15-20, 2015. The inspection will consist of three reactor inspectors from the NRC's Region IV office for two weeks. The inspection will be conducted in accordance with NRC Inspection |
| | Procedure 71111.17T, "Evaluations of Changes, Tests, and Experiments and Permanent Plant |
| | Modifications." |
| | Experience has shown that this inspection is resource intensive for both 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 May 26, 2015. 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 Rafael Gonzalez of your licensing organization. If there are any questions about this inspection or the material requested, please contact the lead inspector, Gerond George, by telephone at 817-200-1562 or by e-mail at |
| | Gerond.George@nrc.gov. |
| | |

Wadsworth, TX 77483 SUBJECT: SOUTH TEXAS PROJECT, UNITS 1 AND 2 - NOTIFICATION OF EVALUATIONS OF CHANGES, TESTS, AND EXPERIMENTS, AND
PERMANENT PLANT MODIFICATIONS INSPECTION (05000498/2015007 and 05000499/2015007) AND REQUEST FOR INFORMATION Dear Mr. Koehl:
The purpose of this letter is to notify you that U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff will conduct the baseline inspection of changes, tests, experiments, and permanent plant
modifications at your South Texas Project, Units 1 and 2, from June 1-5, 2015, and June 15-20, 2015. The inspection will consist of three reactor inspectors from the NRC's Region IV office for two weeks. The inspection will be conducted in accordance with NRC Inspection
Procedure 71111.17T, "Evaluations of Changes, Tests, and Experiments and Permanent Plant
Modifications."
Experience has shown that this inspection is resource intensive for both 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 May 26, 2015. 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 Rafael Gonzalez of your licensing organization. If there are any questions about this inspection or the material requested, please contact the lead inspector, Gerond George, by telephone at 817-200-1562 or by e-mail at
Gerond.George@nrc.gov.

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
D. Koehl - 2 - requesting document displays a currently valid Office of Management and Budget Control Number.
In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 of the NRC's "Rules of Practice," 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 NRC's document system
