SUBJECT: GRAND GULF NUCLEAR STATION - NOTIFICATION OF INSPECTION (NRC INSPECTION REPORT 05000416/2013003) AND REQUEST FOR INFORMATION

Dear Mr. Mulligan

From April 8 - April 19, 2013, Reactor Inspectors from the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory

Commission's (NRC) Region IV office will perform the baseline inspection of changes, tests, experiments, and permanent plant modifications at Grand Gulf Nuclear Station, using NRC Inspection Procedure 71111.17, "Evaluations of Changes, Tests, or Experiments and

Permanent Plant Modifications."

Experience has shown that this

inspection is resource intens

ive 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 Richard Scarbrough of your regulatory

affairs organization. If there are any questions about this inspection or the material requested,

please contact the lead inspector Matt Young at 817-200-1545 or by email Matt.Young@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
