SUBJECT:
DIABLO CANYON POWER PLANT, UNITS 1 AND 2 - NOTIFICATION OF
EVALUATIONS OF CHANGES, TESTS, AND EXPERIMENTS INSPECTION
(NRC INSPECTION REPORT 05000275/2020001 AND 05000323/2020001)
AND REQUEST FOR INFORMATION
Dear Mr. Welsch:
The purpose of this letter is to notify you that U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff
will conduct the baseline inspection of evaluations of changes, tests, and experiments at your
Diablo Canyon Power Plant, Units 1 and 2, from March 9-13, 2020. The inspection will consist
of three reactor inspectors from the NRCs Region IV office for one week. The inspection will be
conducted in accordance with NRC Inspection Procedure (IP) 71111.17T, Evaluations of
Changes, Tests, and Experiments.
Experience has shown 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 documents needed for this inspection.
Please note that the documents are requested to be provided by February 18, 2020. 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. Amanda Sorenson of your licensing
organization. If there are any questions about this inspection or the material requested, please
contact the lead inspector, Ron Kopriva, by telephone at 817-200-1104 or by e-mail at
Ron.Kopriva@nrc.gov.
