SUBJECT: COMANCHE PEAK STEAM ELECTRIC STATION - NOTIFICATION OF
INSPECTION (NRC INSPECTION REPORT 05000445/2009002;
05000446/2009002) AND REQUEST FOR INFORMATION
Dear Mr. Blevins:
From February 2 - 13, 2009, Reactor Inspectors from NRCs Region IV office will
perform the baseline inspection of changes, tests, experiments, and permanent plant
modifications at Comanche Peak Steam Electric 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 Mr. Merka of your
licensing organization. If there are any questions about this inspection or the material
requested, please contact the lead inspector Wayne Sifre at (817) 860-8193
(Wayne.Sifre@nrc.gov).
In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 of the NRCs 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/
