Mr. Adam C. Heflin, Senior Vice

President and Chief Nuclear Officer

Union Electric Company P.O. Box 620 Fulton, MO 65251

SUBJECT: CALLAWAY PLANT - RE-NOTIFICATION OF INSPECTION (NRC INSPECTION REPORT 05000483/2013004) AND REQUEST FOR INFORMATION

Dear Mr. Heflin:

In a letter, dated May 6, 2013, we informed you that inspectors from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission's (NRC) Region IV office would be onsite to perform the baseline biennial requalification inspection from June 24 through 28, 2013. Callaway Plant has since informed

the NRC that their annual requalification operating test cycle will be delayed by approximately seven weeks. This letter establishes new dates for the NRC's onsite inspection and supersedes

our letter of May 6, 2013.

From August 26 through 30, 2013, inspectors from the NRC's Region IV office will perform the

baseline biennial requalification inspecti

on at Callaway Plant using NRC Inspection Procedure 71111.11B, "Licensed Operator Requalification Program." Experience has shown

that this inspection is a resource intensive inspection 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. These documents have been divided into three groups. The first group (Section A of the enclosure) identifies

information to be provided prior to the inspection to ensure that the inspectors are adequately

prepared. The second group (Section B of the enclosure) identifies the information the

inspectors will need upon arrival at the site. The third group (Section C of the enclosure) identifies the items which are necessary to close out the inspection and are usually sent a few weeks after the team has left the site. 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 Mr. Juan Cortez of your training

organization. Our inspection dates are subject to change based on your updated schedule of

examination activities. If there are any questions about this inspection or the material

requested, please contact Thomas Farina, lead inspector, at 817-200-1117

(thomas.farina@nrc.gov) or Kelly Clayton at (817) 200-1216 (kelly.clayton@nrc.gov

). UNITED STATESNUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSIONREGION IV1600 EAST LAMAR BLVDARLINGTON, TEXAS 76011-4511

Mr. A. Heflin - 2 -

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 3150-0018. 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). ADAMS is accessible from the NRC web site at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html (the Public Electronic Reading Room).
