Mr. G. Executive Vice President and CNO STP Nuclear Operating Company P.O. Box 289 Wadsworth, TX 77483
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 intensive 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). ADAMS is accessible from the NRC Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html (the Public Electronic Reading Room).
Sincerely,/RA/ Thomas R. Farnholtz, Chief Engineering Branch 1 Division of Reactor Safety
