FOR INFORMATION Dear Mr. Browning: From July 28 through August 8, 2014, reactor inspectors from NRC's Region IV office will perform the baseline inspection of changes, tests, experiments, and permanent plant modifications at Arkansas Nuclear One, Units 1 and 2, using NRC Inspection Procedure 71111.17, "Evaluations of Changes, Tests, or 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 Ms. Natalie Mosher of your licensing
organization. If there are any questions about this inspection or the material requested, please
contact the lead inspector, Mr. Ronald A. Kopriva, by telephone at 817-200-1104 or by e-mail
at Ron.Kopriva@nrc.gov.
J. Browning -2- 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
