SUBJECT: RIVER BEND STATION - NRC INTEGRATED INSPECTION REPORT

05000458/2011002

Dear Mr. Perito:

The purpose of this letter is to notify you that the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC)

Region IV staff will conduct a triennial heat sink inspection at your facility. The inspection will be

comprised of one reactor inspector from the NRC Region IV office. The inspection will be

conducted in accordance with Inspection Procedure 71111.07T, "Heat Sink Performance."

The schedule for the inspection is as follows: onsite inspection: March 14-18, 2011

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.

Please note that the documents are requested to be provided by March 4, 2011. We request,

that during the onsite inspection week, you ensure that copies of analyses, evaluations, or

documentation regarding the implementation and maintenance of your heat exchanger program

are available. Of specific interest are those documents that establish that your heat exchanger

program satisfies NRC regulatory requirements and conforms to applicable NRC guidance.

Also, appropriate personnel knowledgeable of safety-related heat exchangers should be

available to support the inspector at the site during the inspection.

We have discussed the schedule for this inspection activity with your staff and understand that

our regulatory contact for this inspection will be Ms. Kristi Huffstatler of your licensing

organization. If there are any questions about this inspection or the material requested, please

contact the lead inspector, Ronald A. Kopriva, at 817-860-8104 or by email,

ron.kopriva@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).
