Dear Mr. Cortopassi:
On April 8, 2013, inspectors from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) will perform an
Inspection Manual Chapter (IMC) 0350 Team Inspection at Fort Calhoun Station, using
applicable portions of NRC Inspection Procedures 95003, Supplemental Inspection for
Repetitive Degraded Cornerstone, Multiple Degraded Cornerstones, Multiple Yellow Inputs or
One Red Input, 92702, Followup on Traditional Enforcement Actions Including Violations,
Deviations, Confirmatory Action Letters, Confirmatory Orders, and Alternative Dispute
Resolution Confirmatory Orders, and 93806, Operations Readiness Assessment Team
Inspections. This inspection supports the assessment and verification of the issues described
in the Restart Checklist enclosed in the Confirmatory Action Letter (CAL) issued to Fort Calhoun
Station on June 11, 2012, and any modifications thereof; and other selected areas to inform the
NRCs assessment of the safety, organizational, and programmatic issues at the station.
This inspection is a part of the IMC 0350 oversight inspection activities. Experience has shown
that this inspection is a resource intensive inspection both for the NRC inspectors and your staff.
The inspection will include 2-weeks of onsite inspections by the team. The current inspection
schedule is as follows:
Preparation Week: April 1, 2013
Onsite weeks: April 8-19, 2013
In order to minimize the impact to your onsite resources and to ensure a productive inspection,
we have enclosed a request for documents and resources needed for this inspection. 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 onsite portions of the
inspection.
