SUBJECT: DIABLO CANYON POWER PLANT, UNITS 1 AND 2 - NOTIFICATION OF EVALUATIONS OF CHANGES, TESTS, AND EXPERIMENTS INSPECTION

(05000275/2017002 AND 05000323/2017002) AND REQUEST FOR INFORMATION

Dear Mr. Halpin:

The purpose of this letter is to notify you that U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff will conduct the baseline inspection of evaluations of changes, tests, and experiments at your Diablo Canyon Power Plant, Units 1 and 2, from June 19-23, 2017. The inspection will consist of three reactor inspectors from the NRC's Region IV office for one week. The inspection will be conducted in accordance with NRC Inspection Procedure 71111.17T, "Evaluations of Changes,

Tests, and Experiments."

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 on-site 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 June 12, 2017. 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 the on-site 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 David Madsen of your licensing organization. If there are any questions about this inspection or the material requested, please contact the lead inspector, Gerond A. George, by telephone at 817-200-1562 or by e-mail at Gerond.George@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 UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION REGION IV 1600 E. LAMAR BLVD ARLINGTON, TX 76011-4511

E. Halpin 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 (ADAMS). ADAMS is accessible from the NRC Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html (the Public Electronic Reading Room). Sincerely, /RA/ Thomas R. Farnholtz, Chief Engineering Branch 1
