REQUEST FOR INFORMATION

Dear Mr. Chisum:

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

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

modifications at your Waterford Steam Electric Station, Unit 3, from August 10-28, 2015. The

inspection will consist of three reactor inspectors from the NRCs Region IV office for two

weeks. The inspection will be conducted in accordance with the 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 August 3, 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 Leia Milste of your licensing organization. If

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

inspector, Megan Williams, by telephone at 817-200-1076 or by e-mail at

megan.williams@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.
