Dear Mr. Sunseri:
The purpose of this letter is to notify you that the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC)
Region IV staff will conduct a supplemental inspection for one degraded cornerstone at your
facility. The inspection will be comprised of five reactor inspectors from the NRC Region IV

Performance Area."
The schedule for the inspection is as follows: Onsite inspection February 7-11, 2011, and

Experience has shown that this inspection is resource intensive for 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 January 18, 2011. We request that during the onsite inspection
weeks, you ensure that copies of analyses, evaluations, or documentation regarding the
requested items are available. Also, appropriate personnel knowledgeable of the inspection
performance issues should be available to support the inspectors 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. Jenny Yunk of your management team. If
there are any questions about this inspection or the material requested, please contact the
inspector, David Dumbacher, at 573-676-3181 or by email, David.Dumbacher@nrc.gov. In
