August 30, 2019 Mr. John Dent, Jr.
Vice President-Nuclear and CNO Nebraska Public Power District Cooper Nuclear Station 72676 648A Avenue Brownville, NE 68321 SUBJECT: UPDATE D INSPECTION PLAN FOR COOPER NUCLEAR STATION - REPORT 05000 29 8/20 19 005
Dear Mr. Dent,
Jr.:
The enclosed inspection plan lists the inspections scheduled through June 30 , 20 21 , for Cooper Nuclear Station. The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) provides the inspection plan to allow for the resolution of any scheduling conflicts and personnel availability issues. Routine inspections performed by resident inspectors are not included in the inspection plan. You should be aware that the agency is pursuing potential changes to the Reactor Oversight Process (ROP), including changes to engineering inspections (SECY-18-0113, "Recommendations for Modifying the Reactor Oversight Process Engineering Inspections"), and other changes to the baseline inspection program described in SECY-19-0067, "Recommendations for Enhancing the Reactor Oversight Process
." Should these changes to the ROP be implemented, the engineering and other region-based inspections are subject to change in scope, as well as schedule, beginning in January 2020.
The inspections listed during the last 12 months of the inspection plan are tentative and may be revised. The NRC will contact you as soon as possible to discuss changes to the inspection plan should circumstances warrant any changes.
Additionally, as reflected in the enclosure, on November 4 , 2019 , the NRC staff will complete Temporary Instruction 2515/19 4 , "Inspection of the Licensee's Implementation of Industry Initiative Associated with the Open Phase Condition Design Vulnerabilities In Electric Power Systems (NRC Bulletin 2012-01)." In accordance with Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 2.390 of the NRC
's "Agency Rules of Practice and Procedure
," a copy of this letter 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).
Please contact me at (817) 200-1250 with any questions you have regarding this letter.
Sincerely,
/R A/ Cale H. Young , Acting Chief Project Branch C Division of Reactor Projects Docket No.
