SUBJECT:
RIVER BEND STATION - NOTIFICATION OF NRC FOLLOW-UP INSPECTION FOR THREE OR MORE SEVERITY LEVEL IV TRADITIONAL ENFORCEMENT VIOLATIONS ISSUED IN THE SAME AREA BETWEEN SEPTEMBER 2022 AND DECEMBER 2024 AND REQUEST FOR INFORMATION
Dear Phil Hansett:
By letter dated April 22, 2025 (ML251111A069), the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) communicated to you receipt of your acknowledgement of readiness for infrequent inspection procedure 92723 for twelve Severity Level IV Traditional Enforcement Violations that were issued between September 30, 2022, and December 31, 2024.
Accordingly, we plan to conduct a follow-up on-site inspection from July 14, 2025, through July 18, 2025, at River Bend Station, Unit 1 using Inspection Procedure 92723, Follow-Up For One Severity Level III and Two Severity Level IV Traditional Enforcement Violations or For Three or More Severity Level IV Traditional Enforcement Violations in the Same Area in a 12-Month Period.
In order to minimize the impact to your on-site resources and to ensure a productive inspection for both organizations, we have enclosed a request for documents needed for this inspection.
The documents identified are those the inspectors will need prior to and upon their arrival on site. It is important that all the documents are up-to-date and complete to minimize the number of additional documents requested during the on-site portion of the inspection. To the extent possible, please organize the information as specified in the request for documents. Experience has shown that poorly organized files can lead to a less efficient inspection and places an additional burden on licensee staff. Secure file server access such as Certrec or SharePoint is preferred.
During the inspection, the inspectors may request additional documents. If there are questions regarding the documents or material requested, or if the documents cannot be provided by the due date, please do not hesitate to contact lead inspector Christopher Highley at (240) 704-4264 or (817) 200-1933. We have discussed the schedule for these inspection activities with your staff and understand that our regulatory contact for this inspection will be Hayley Kunzli of your organization.
