SUBJECT: FORT CALHOUN STATION - NOTIFICATION OF INSPECTION (NRC INSPECTION REPORT 05000285/2013010) AND REQUEST FOR INFORMATION

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

NRC's 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.

We have discussed the schedule for these inspection activities with your staff and understand that our regulatory contact for this inspection

will be Ms. Kelly Root. If there are any questions about this inspection or the material requested, please contact the lead inspector, Brian Larson,

at (817) 200-1172 or email: brian.larson@nrc.gov.

This letter does not contain new or amended information collection requirements subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.). Existing information collection requirements were approved by the Office

of Management and Budget, control number 3150-0018. The NRC may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a

request for information or an information collection requirement unless the requesting document displays a currently valid Office of Management and Budget control number. In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 of the NRC's "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).
