Mr. Daniel Stoddard Senior Vice President
and Chief Nuclear Officer Virginia Electric and Power Company Dominion Nuclear Innsbrook Technical Center 5000 Dominion Boulevard Glen Allen, VA 23060-6711
SUBJECT:
NORTH ANNA POWER STATION - NOTIFICATION OF INSPECTION AND REQUEST FOR INFORMATION
Dear Mr. Stoddard:
From November 27 - December 15, 2017, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) will perform a Post-Approval Inspection for License Renewal at the North Anna Power Station, Units 1 and 2, in accordance with NRC inspection procedure (IP) 71003, "Post-Approval Site Inspection for License Renewal." Previous inspections confirm that this inspection is resource-intensive for both 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 information. The enclosed request identifies the documents that the inspectors will need upon arrival at the site, to successfully meet the inspection objectives. Requested documents should be current and complete to maximize efficiency during 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 Michael Whalen of your organization. If there are any questions about this inspection or the material requested, please contact the lead inspector, Robert Carrion, at 404-997-4522.
In accordance with Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) 2.390, "Public inspections, exemptions, requests for withholding," of the NRC's "Agency Rules of Practice and Procedure," a copy of this letter, its Enclosure, and your response (if any), will be available electronically for public inspection in the NRC's Public Document Room, or from the Publicly D. Stoddard 2 Available Records (PARS) component of the NRC's Agencywide Documents Access and Management 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/
Brian R. Bonser, Chief Engineering Branch 3 Division of Reactor Safety

(9) List of plant modifications with a brief description of the modification scope that were approved and/or implemented from the date the LRA was submitted to the date the renewed license was issued.
(10) Self-assessments performed after the renewed license was issued associated with the implementation of license renewal commitments, including AMPs and TLAAs.
(11) "Gap analyses" performed to assess the differences between the current AMPs and the recommendations in the latest revision of NUREG-1801, "Generic Aging Lessons Learned (GALL)," and subsequent Interim Staff Guidance.
