SUBJECT: SOUTH TEXAS PROJECT ELECTRIC GENERATING STATION

- NOTIFICATION OF EVALUATIONS OF CHANGES, TESTS, AND

EXPERIMENTS INSPECTION (05000498/2017007

AND 05000499/2017007) AND REQUEST FOR INFORMATION

Dear Mr. Powell:

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 Electric Generating Station

from May 22-26, 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 intens

ive 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 May 15, 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/or 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 Rafael Gonzalez 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 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).

possible.

1. Procedure(s) for conducting 10 CFR 50.59 screenings and evaluations.

2. A list with descriptions of all 10 CFR 50.59 screenings (or equivalent) of fully implemented changes, tests, and experiments performed since the last triennial modification inspection that did not result in an evaluation.

3. A list with descriptions of all 10 CFR 50.59 evaluations of fully implemented changes, tests, and experiments performed since the last triennial 10 CFR 50.59 inspection that

did not result in an application for a license amendment.

4. A list with descriptions of all temporary plant modifications implemented since the last triennial 10 CFR 50.59 inspection.

5. A list with descriptions of all compensatory actions for degraded or non-conforming conditions implemented since the last triennial 10 CFR 50.59 inspection.

6. A list with descriptions of all corrective action documents related to 10 CFR 50.59 screenings and evaluations since the last triennial 10 CFR 50.59 inspection.
