SUBJECT: FORT CALHOUN STATION - NOTIFICATION OF INSPECTION (NRC INSPECTION REPORT 05000285/2010004) AND REQUEST FOR INFORMATION

Dear Mr. Bannister:

From July 19 - 30, 2010, Reactor Inspectors from NRC's Region IV office will perform the baseline inspection of changes, tests, experiments, and permanent plant modifications at Fort Calhoun Station, using NRC Inspection Procedure 71111.17, "Evaluations of Changes, Tests, Experiments, and Permanent Plant Modifications."

Experience has shown that this inspection is resource intensive 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 Erick Matzke of your licensing organization. If there are any questions about this inspection or the material requested, please contact the

lead inspector, Gerond A. George, at 817-276-6562 or by email Gerond.George@nrc.gov. UNITED STATESNUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSIONREGION IV612 EAST LAMAR BLVD, SUITE 400ARLINGTON, TEXAS 76011-4125
